Chapter 57: The Sword of Damocles

"Southern Hemisphere...... Intensively search the Southern Hemisphere with our satellites as well as submarines! ”

While everyone was discussing, Yu Yifeng decisively issued a few instructions to the headquarters. X

"Second, once again, the Digg general confirms the authenticity of the incident! Let some psychology experts go over and rule out the possibility of deliberately misleading us! ”

After these two orders were issued, the room gradually fell silent, and almost everyone was flipping through the materials or trying to think in a panicked mood.

A flying saucer...... Are there really aliens hiding on this planet?

As for ocean searches...... People think in their hearts that it is unlikely that they will be able to search for something right away.

The ocean is so big, and with the current investment alone, it is almost impossible to monitor it in all directions, if everything on the other side is silently hidden in a corner of the deep sea......

"Wait, the flying saucer flew away?!"

Why fly away from the ocean?!

This is also where people are confused.

But soon, a creepy explanation came to mind:

Because...... Curvature Engine!

Normally, the speed of information transmission is the speed of light, whether it is electromagnetic waves, neutrinos, or gravitational waves, the maximum transmission speed can only be the speed of light!

No matter can move beyond the speed of light...... This is the limitation of the theory of relativity.

But for interstellar civilizations, there is another expensive means of information transmission that can far exceed the speed of light!

That's ...... Fly over faster than the speed of light with the curvature engine of the spaceship and deliver the message yourself!

The expansion rate of space can theoretically exceed the speed of light, because the currently known volume of the universe is 93 billion light years in diameter, but the age of the universe is only 13.8 billion years.

That is, for a certain period of time, the universe expanded faster than the speed of light. So the "faster-than-light" of the curvature engine does not violate the theory of relativity, and is a similar principle.

“…… A small saucer doesn't have the power to catch Gaia's creatures, so it flies away and calls for a large army. Because using a curvature engine is faster and less time-saving than sending radio signals! ”

This conjecture made everyone's hearts beat faster, and adrenaline began to secrete involuntarily, as if frozen......

This conjecture is even more terrifying than extraterrestrial life in the ocean...... It means that in the future, an alien fleet will come to the planet Digg-114.

The entire conference room was so quiet that people couldn't even hold their breath.

If this conjecture is true, the reasoning fool behind it can think of it...... The flying saucer flew out to call for reinforcements!

The reason for calling for reinforcements, of course, is...... Gaia creatures!

If the interstellar civilization that rushed over behind them discovered the "Deep Space" and discovered the human beings who were educating the "Gaia creatures" on a large scale...... What will it do?

It must be a merciless blow!

The value of a Gaia creature is enough for an interstellar war! Yes, enough!

The means of light-speed strikes may already be on the way, but humans don't know about it yet. Because objects moving at the speed of light cannot be detected, except at the moment of impact.

Even, people in the next moment...... There is a possibility of being shot in the next second!

Just thinking like this, an incomparable chill arose in everyone's hearts, and they fell into a huge chaos. As soon as I thought of it...... Various light-speed weapons were already overhead, maybe only a few seconds away, and many people subconsciously began to shiver.

12 years, too long, how far can you fly through the curvature engine?

No one knows if this alien civilization is more powerful than humans...... Of course, there is a high probability that it is stronger than humans. Humans can do 3 times faster than light, so what about them, 10 times, 20 times?

Their large army is already on its way, is it already on the periphery of the star system, can humans still run away? If the other party bombs off the Deep Space...... How else do people run away......

These subconscious thoughts made everyone fall into an ice hole, this sudden crisis is too big, too big, and it can directly stone people to death.

Dr. Rimbaud shook his lips, a cold sweat broke out on his back, he didn't know what to think anymore. It is difficult for people to really calm down in a panic, this is human instinct.

Minister of Security Xu Yunjin also had slightly dilated pupils, and felt that his entire scalp was tingling. He was thinking about various interstellar wars...... Just rely on this pile of garbage soldiers......

It's not just the two of them, almost all of them are suppressed by the huge crisis, and they will be speechless for a while.

Run, run, abandon everything here, don't catch any Gaia!

Running back to Deep Space and then running faster than light is everyone's first thought.

If you don't run, the first real interstellar war is already imminent!

If you don't run, you won't be able to run away...... Everyone knows that it takes a while to accelerate from a curvature to the speed of light. It's not that you can expand the curvature bubble to exceed the speed of light!

There was silence in the room, only a pounding heartbeat and a slight breath hold, and no one was the first to speak, or rather, people were already nervous and didn't know how to speak.

In the end, Yu Yifeng was the first to recover, although his heartbeat was very violent, he knew that he couldn't let this panic spread endlessly...... This crisis may be the biggest crisis facing mankind in the past 100 years!

What we need to do now is to calm everyone down first.

From a certain point of view, the other party has been gone for 12 years, is there still such a few minutes of discussion time?! The probability of various lasers being overhead is very, very small.

He slammed the table with a "bang" that woke everyone out of their confusion.

Yu Yifeng said with a pale face: "Okay! Ladies and gentlemen, don't panic, these are our conjectures, although the reliability is very, very high...... Whether it is an undersea civilization or an alien fleet, it needs further research! ”

"First of all, we have to confirm the authenticity of the news with the Digg man...... If it is indeed true, it has to be said that because of this sudden incident, our entire civilization has fallen into a great crisis, and our lives are in danger......"

"I'm sorry for an unknown and powerful enemy, but if we really have to, maybe we need to leave ......."

When he said this, his face was also full of bitterness, and he didn't continue for the time being.

Very unwilling, yes, very unwilling.

Seeing that everything is going very well in educating the "Gaia creatures", humanity will soon be able to complete a huge leap in productivity.

If this powerful biofactory is acquired, people are likely to move into L3 in the short term...... Even by studying Gaia creatures, a huge breakthrough in biology can be obtained, and its structure is definitely different from normal creatures.

But I didn't expect such a moth to come out......

The most terrifying thing is that the time when the enemy appeared is completely unknown, and it is not known whether it will be the next second, or tomorrow, or the next year...... It feels like the sword of Damocles hanging above your head, and you don't know when it will fall and cut off your head.

Death from the unknown is definitely the most terrifying!

But intellectually, for the sake of the continuation of humanity, he, as the supreme commander, cannot gamble here...... What is the probability of success and what is the probability of failure?

Everything is unknown, once there is a war, there is a danger that everyone will be wiped out, and the essence of mankind is only that.

"Are you really trying to escape?" r
