Chapter 349: Ten Years

Ye Junchang was silent for a while, "Captain, then the last question, let's put aside these cosmological common sense. Could it be that all of this is a lie fabricated by those Badit people to lure us into the past? ”

Zhang Yuan replied: "99.99% probability, not a lie. ”

"Some of this information was extracted from the machines in the ruins area, and the Badit people had no chance to tamper with the data on a large scale. There is also a part of it that is interrogated, and there is no way to directly read the memories of the Bardit people, but there is no big problem in using virtual world technology to determine whether the truth is true or false. ”

"Comparing the two parts of the data, we came to this conclusion......"

Ye Junchang nodded, indicating that he had no doubts: "In this case, I agree to go to the trading market of the Huantai civilization." ”

Seeing the people who were still thinking, Zhang Yuan continued: "Everyone, don't think that it takes five or six hundred years, which sounds very long, even longer than a person's lifespan, but interstellar voyage itself is like this...... This is still the time it takes us to use the gravitational acceleration of the cosmic strings to speed up our voyage dramatically, and even five or six thousand years according to the speed of the Earth Age!

"However, if this goal is truly accomplished, it will be a great milestone in the history of mankind! Only in this way will true cosmic diplomacy be born. ”

With the approval of the first, soon there was the second, the third......

Some of those who remain cautious are also beginning to loosen their positions.

Every step that human beings take is not easy, and many times, the so-called enemy is not necessarily an alien civilization, but may also be itself.

It is impossible to completely avoid risks, and even the people of Bardit know that the benefits are directly proportional to the risks, and everyone here knows it.

Just as Zhang Yuan announced that he had entered the voting session, suddenly someone stood up again.

"Your Excellency, I have one more question." Another physicist raised his hand and said: "The best technology for the entire trading market is definitely faster-than-light communication and curvature navigation." ”

In other words, all the third-level civilizations are eager for these two technologies. It's just that because it's extremely expensive, or for some other reason, there's no way to get it. ”

"But we have the technology of a sixth-level civilization in our hands, whether it is a virtual space or a high-dimensional fragment that cannot be cracked, can it be traded? We have to consider whether this is possible and the risks we need to bear. ”

Hearing this inquiry, many scientists were in an uproar, and they had to say that faster-than-light communication and curvature navigation are indeed the technologies that human beings dream of.

It seems to be ...... to take a piece of high-dimensional fragment that has no way to crack it for trading It's a little bit of a possibility.

Even though the value of high-dimensional fragments may be greater, for the current human race, they cannot be used at all!

One of the scientists is enthusiastically discussing: "What is the principle of faster-than-light communication?" Even if it's just point-to-point faster-than-light communication, it's important enough! Can we control such technology, or rather, with the help of this advanced civilization project, to achieve faster-than-light communication? ”

“…… In this way, you can directly communicate with the base camp in the rear point-to-point. ”

Communication, the most troublesome and important thing in the universe, is like the war between humans and the Badians, when the communication of the human side is devastated, of course, this battle cannot be fought.

This is true even for a single spaceship, and even more so when zoomed in to the entire universe.

For now, if the "Kunlun Mountain" wants to transmit information back to Gliese 581, or the Earth, Barnard Star, it can only rely on high-power electromagnetic wave communication, which cannot meet the needs of both security and propagation speed.

The speed of light, 300,000 kilometers per second, is slower than a snail compared to the huge universe! In particular, the increasing cost of transmission is a desperate figure for any low-level interstellar civilization. If you want to send a signal from one end of the galaxy to the other side of the galaxy, you have to consume the energy of a star, and this energy level is simply not something that a low-level interstellar civilization can master.

Ordinary interstellar civilizations can only colonize a few nearby stars, and these stars are best near the cosmic strings.

If the territory is so large that even communication is very difficult, civilization will naturally disintegrate. Just like human beings, the Kunlun Mountains, the Earth civilization, the civilization where Gliese 581 is located, and the Golden Sun of Barnard Star are actually split, and it is very difficult to communicate with each other, how can it be said that they are the same civilization?

But with faster-than-light communication, there are endless possibilities!

For example, the amoeba civilization can develop countless subordinate civilizations to form its own unique alliances and exert more important influence in the galaxy.

And in the galaxy, there should not be too few factions like amoeba, and faster-than-light communication is a necessary technology for this kind of large-scale alliance.

Facing the physicist's inquiry, Zhang Yuan shook his head, "The pan-galactic network system is a very famous project in the galaxy, and basically the interstellar civilization that has been to the trading market will know it, so the fact that we are a rookie civilization is exposed...... Well, I don't know if you can borrow this network system to communicate with the base camp, but as for the Badites, don't expect too much......"

"Regarding the matter of trading with high-dimensional fragments, let's hurry up and study it now, and then think about it then. It's really not good, and it can only be like this, ten birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in hand. ”

"Anyway, we still have five or six hundred years to reach our destination, and we don't even know the specific information of the trading market, so there is not much point in discussing it here."

In this way, after some discussion, after this meeting, mankind officially determined the first big goal of this voyage -

Huantai Civilization Trading Market!

Of course, humans don't arrive at their destination in one go, and they will pick a few interesting planets to stay on for a while.

Traveling at 10% of the speed of light has great damage to the ship's body, so it is necessary to collect resources regularly and maintain the hull.

Besides, the Badit have already explored a lot of distance, so why not?

……

Time passes quickly, and ten years have passed since that catastrophe......

In the past ten years, the Kunlun Mountain fleet has been heading towards the first small destination, and no special accidents have occurred.

The people should hibernate, and the people should wake up.

I have to say that man is indeed a very forgetful creature, the passage of time has gradually healed the psychological trauma in people's hearts, and the interior of Kunlun Mountain has returned to its previous peaceful state, and the words of wanting to return to the rear are not as many as at the beginning.

This forgetfulness has both advantages and disadvantages, on the one hand, ordinary people have begun to regain the courage to explore the stars, after all, humanity has won a battle, not a defeat, and history is written by the victors.

On the other hand, the former warriors are being forgotten and remembered less and less, even as the government takes many measures.

However, this kind of forgetfulness is still a trend that is difficult to change......
