Chapter 34: Alien Spies?
The faster-than-light era.
Chen Jin's heart fluttered slightly, and it seemed that the unbreakable barrier of light speed saw the hope of a breakthrough.
After all, the pace of "Galactic Age" is indeed too slow, and under normal circumstances, there is no hope of a player dominating the server for hundreds of years, in order to speed up the game progress and save the game, even if there is no breakthrough in the field of "space technology" in reality, it has to launch a fictional "faster-than-light technology".
This will inevitably lead to a decrease in the realism of the game and disrupt the original rhythm.
Unexpectedly, a player with genius creativity in the field of science made a breakthrough at the level of principle.
Faster-than-light curvature engine technology can also be realized in reality.
The significance of this is extraordinary.
"It seems that on the side of the brain crystal people, there should be no breakthrough in the technology of faster-than-light engines." If it had broken through, the planet of Helfa would have been occupied by colonization long ago, rather than destroyed remotely.
"In other words, in terms of speed, I went ahead of the brain crystal and established a significant advantage."
"Even a single curvature engine, equipped on a C-class battleship, can immediately make the combat effectiveness jump by two levels, reaching the level of an A-class battleship."
"Objects flying faster than the speed of light are not monitorable, and if they are used to launch blitzkriegs and surprise wars, the huge suddenness will cause many civilizations to suffer heavy damage and even direct destruction."
You must know that no matter in any competitive field, it is "invincible, unbreakable".
The same is true of war.
As long as the faster-than-light curvature engine comes out, it is no longer enough to be a mere brain crystal.
"But master, with our current experimental conditions, the real large-scale practical curvature engine will probably take more than ten years to make a breakthrough, and it will not be able to enter the practical stage immediately."
"Can increasing the investment of resources speed up?"
"It shouldn't have a significant effect, and Alice and I have invested 100% of our resources and energy into this project."
"Okay."
After all, this is not an upgrade without a little logic, so you can only wait step by step.
……
The other side.
The Ulf galaxy 14 light-years away.
On the vast surface of water-rich planets, exploration activities are in full swing every day.
Mines are mined to provide all the raw materials needed.
Colonial bases are established along the course of the river and scattered in various places within a radius of thousands of miles, while improving the efficiency of development, the living space of surviving human beings is extremely empty.
"More than 300 million square kilometers of land area is occupied by more than 100,000 surviving human beings...... It is a paradise with no abundant resources, no natural predators and no competition. ”
"Such a paradise, even if we humans reproduce exponentially and double in 30 years, we will have to reach a population of 10 billion in 300 years."
"If you directly detonate a population bomb, you will cultivate a population of 10 billion people in 30 years...... In about 50 years, the planet will become a little crowded, and it will fall into a state of lack of resources and competition among its kind. ”
"Contradictions will arise again, and internal divisions and divisions will be made, and it will be difficult to maintain the initial unity...... This will no longer be a paradise. ”
But even so!
Even if it is full of contradictions and conflicts.
Mu Yunhua clenched his fists, which was better than the "comfort zone" that had been staying.
Because she feels that the atmosphere these days is getting a little wrong.
All were too comfortable, too immersed in the current brief peace, to ignore the almost lingering threat.
"At present, resources are limited, there is no need to use a large number of population bombs, just add 10,000 people a year, if we produce 100,000 or 1 million children a year, we can't bring this manpower, and there are not many people who are willing to be nannies."
"Scientific research and development does need to start a few large-scale projects quickly, but there is a serious shortage of scientists, and we can only carry out a few non-cutting-edge topics first, and even need to recover some of the missing technologies."
"Military construction? We haven't even built a complete industrial system, so how can we start military construction and build what you call a large 'starship'? ”
Meeting of high-level representatives.
Mu Yunhua's three highest-priority action proposals were all rejected.
Less than a third of the deputies supported her!
Even her loud appeal did not attract the attention of the opposition representatives.
A representative named Wu Zhixian sneered: "Captain, let go of your anxiety that has nowhere to put it, we know what you are worried about, and we also know the danger we are currently in, but with our current strength, we simply cannot compete with potential opponents, and we have at least a technological gap of more than three hundred years with the other party."
If we decide to resist, I am afraid that the moment the fleet of the mysterious forces arrives will be when we flee again, and the hard work in front of us is nothing more than a wedding dress for others, and it is useless.
It's better to slow down the pace, fully enjoy the moment and peace and quiet, add some happiness and hope, and if you continue to be anxious, you will despair to the point of madness. As for the crisis, it's not too late to find a way to deal with it when it comes. ”
Mu Yunhua's eyes widened.
What does that mean?
"How do you hear a weak compromise in your words? Representative Wu, are you planning to wait for the alien fleet to come, give up the struggle and resistance, and then raise your hands in surrender? ”
Mu Yunhua glared at the other party and asked, and sure enough, from the other party's cunning gaze, he saw a trace of panic.
"Captain, you are slandering my character, please don't question my determination to resist to the end." Wu Zhixian stood up, his face annoyed.
"Then why did you take the lead in vetoing several of my proposals, which are the guarantee of our freedom and survival, and you don't know their importance?"
"The most important thing now is to live a settled life, instead of continuing to make people remember the upheaval on the take-off ship, and everyone doesn't want to wander a second time, perhaps, Walf is the right permanent home for us." Wu Zhixian said with a twinkle in his eyes, but he was still confident.
Mu Yunhua looked at him in shock.
Because based on his words alone, she had enough reason to wonder: is he a mysterious alien force, a spy who planted or rebelled?
After all, the excuses and tone of this capitulation faction can be heard by normal people.
But the strange thing is that even if Wu Zhixian said such a thing, most of the representatives present still remained silent, instead of proposing isolation and interrogation.
Even more than half of the delegates vaguely stood beside Wu Zhixian, seemingly joining forces to veto everything she raised related to military preparations at any time.
Suddenly, my heart sank.
Turning his head to look at Bai Shengqi beside him, he saw that his face was also full of solemnity, and he blinked his eyes to signal her not to act rashly.
"Adjournment."
Mu Yunhua reluctantly spit out these two words.
