A spiky rocket-like sports car drove up with a clatter, saying it was a sports car, but it had no wheels and resembled a flat rocket. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

With a bang, the door opened automatically, and an assistant walked down from inside, and as soon as he came, he stood aside, his body bent slightly, and his hand made an invitation, "Academician Xiao, please get in the car." ”

Xiao Li nodded casually and walked into the car.

There was no driver in the car, but there were two bodyguards sitting on Xiao Li's left and right, one of whom was Peng Jie.

He saw Xiao Li get into the car, casually took a bottle of green tea from the back compartment and handed it to Xiao Li, and sighed slightly, "Anti-gravity sports car, it's a pity that such a good thing can't serve the people." ”

Anti-gravity sports car, a sports car launched by Weilan Enterprise in 2025 that uses anti-gravity devices to levitate, but anti-gravity sports cars are not popular.

Three reasons!

The first reason is the high price, the anti-gravity sports car is the standard military-to-civilian technology, and the military-to-civilian technology has a common feature at the beginning, that is, the lack of commercialization, or the high price.

Just like the original computer and big brother, anti-gravity sports cars have sold for sky-high prices in the process of civilianization, and ordinary anti-gravity sports cars have sold for a sky-high price of 20 million Chinese coins, exceeding the average luxury sports car.

In addition to that, the anti-gravity sports car is simply scum in terms of aesthetic design.

On the surface, it's a standard flat rocket.

The second reason is that I can't afford it.

Anti-gravity devices have always been military technology, large energy consumers, after the civilianization of anti-gravity sports car energy consumption although it has decreased a little, but it can also be called a large energy consumer, more importantly, it does not use oil, electricity, but nuclear energy.

In the rear compartment of it there is a cold nuclear fusion unit, and every once in a while the owner needs to buy nuclear materials, which are not so cheap.

It's easy to buy a car, it's hard to keep a car, it's an anti-gravity sports car.

The third reason is the road.

At present, the mainstream roads on the earth are for ordinary vehicles, such as anti-gravity sports cars need virtual runways are very rare, and it costs a lot to rebuild, in the past five years, countries such as the United States and China have only built virtual runways in some first-tier or second-tier cities, but Iceland, Maldives and other wealthier pocket-sized countries have built virtual runways.

"The initial period of time when any military technology is transferred to civilian use will be extraordinarily expensive." Xiao Li said: "Like the big brother at the beginning, such a bulky mobile phone would definitely be in the garbage dump if it were placed now, but at the beginning, big brother was a status symbol, although it was ugly and expensive. ”

"Let's drive!"

"Toot."

With a cold mechanical sound, the anti-gravity sports car floated up and flew out with a whoosh at a certain altitude, while a large number of green lines continued to expand and extend in front of the car, and they were like aerial data, providing a runway for the anti-gravity sports car.

This is the virtual runway, a virtual runway constructed by data, according to the regulations, the anti-gravity car must be exercised on the virtual runway, if it exceeds the virtual runway, regardless of whether it hits other objects or not, it will be severely punished, but the penalty for hitting an object is much more severe than not hitting an object.

Peng Jie looked out the window, looking at the dot-like crowds below through the glass and green lines, and couldn't help but sigh, "The taste of condescension...... No wonder anti-gravity sports cars are so expensive but still popular with many rich people, Xiao, what are you doing in the emperor this time? ”

"Peng Jie, you're mistaken, anti-gravity sports cars are more than just forced." The corners of Xiao Li's mouth curled slightly, although the sales of anti-gravity sports cars are not very good, but the expensive price still makes it a money-absorbing weapon, "If it is just a forced style, maybe some people will buy it to show off, but its sales will definitely not reach the point of selling millions of units in 5 years...... It's not just expensive, it's also a serious problem with the amount of energy it consumes. ”

"It's more about speed." Xiao Li said: "The maximum speed of 900 kilometers per hour has already equaled that of ordinary passenger aircraft, otherwise why do you think the anti-gravity sports car will be an unmanned sports car?" ”

"The speed of an airliner and the compulsion of state-of-the-art technology are the real reasons why the rich flock to it."

With a minimum speed of 20 kilometers per hour and a maximum speed of 900 kilometers per hour, the anti-gravity sports car can be leisurely in the city and fast enough to fly around the world like a helicopter, although the price is 20 million. But it still can't stop the rich people's determination to buy.

"As for what I'm going to do in the imperial capital? I heard some information in Jiuquan, and I want to report and be informed of the federal decision. ”

Peng Jie closed his mouth, just an ordinary message video call, and the only thing that could allow him to go to the imperial capital in person was those very important information, and he knew what to ask and what not to ask.

Three hours later, Xiao Li stood at the door of the chairman's office and tidied up his clothes, and walked into the chairman's office with the secretary's smiling face.

"Xiao Li, do you have something to look for me?" Chairman Huaxia's voice was full of indescribable cordiality, and Xiao's divorce in 2023 gave the two more layers of kinship, "Is there something wrong with the quantum network?" ”

"It's not." Xiao Li took out a small pot of tea from the shelf very casually, and then brewed it with boiling water in the cup, speaking of which, he should have called his uncle, "It was the quantum satellite that heard a piece of information...... Quantum information from the Milky Way. ”

"What's the message?"

Chairman Hua Xia asked subconsciously.

"A cleaner message, a help-seeking message." Xiao Li blew on the tea, and then took a sip gently, the fragrance of tea wafted between his lips and teeth, "According to the information we monitored, there is a Cleaner spacecraft that has entered the Three Thousand Seconds Arm from the Big Magellanic Galaxy, but this has nothing to do with us, although the Three Thousand Seconds Arm and the Solar System belong to the same Milky Way, it is very far away from the Solar System, and it is impossible for the Cleaner Spacecraft to launch a strike against us in a short time." ”

Chairman Huaxia breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and they were afraid of the cleaners.

"The second message is that the fourth-level civilization located in the Immortal Arm of the galaxy, the Vika civilization, and the colonizer civilization are fighting...... In fact, it is not very accurate to say that the combat is not very accurate, and it is more accurate to say that they have been attacked, and they ask for help from the civilizations of the entire galaxy, and the reward is to get all the technology of the Vika civilization and the reward given by the silver heart civilization, a fifth-level civilization. ”

Chairman Huaxia's hand shook, and the book was almost unsteady, "You mean, once we support the Vika civilization, they will give us all their technology?" Is it the kind of technology that once obtained, our Earth Federation will show leaps and bounds? ”

If so, then the Earth Federation has a great opportunity.

He was almost stunned by happiness.

"Theoretically, yes." Xiao Li said: "Technology is not a substance, it can be copied infinitely, and there is no such thing as giving one to another." ”

That's great.

The thrill of excitement soared into the sky, this is an unprecedented opportunity, as long as it is obtained, the technology of the Earth Federation will show a leapfrog and explosive development, but he held back.

"Theoretically, but in practice?"

"Actually, we can't get it." Xiao Li hit without hesitation: "I don't know the specific distance of the Vica civilization in the Dark Horse Galaxy of the Perseus Arm, but according to the data records of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in the United States, in 2006, they measured the distance of 6370 light years, note, this refers to the distance from the solar system to the Perseus Arm, not the distance from the solar system to the Dark Horse Galaxy in the Perseus Arm." ”

"With the current speed of the earth's flight, suppose we send a space warship to support the Vika civilization at this time, and hundreds of thousands of years have passed by the time our fleet arrives at the Vika civilization, do you think they will still need our support by that time?"

Chairman Huaxia, who had just rushed into the sky, immediately fell to the world, and he glanced at Xiao Li with an unkind face, "So you are teasing your uncle and me?" ”

Xiao Li was not afraid, if he was really angry, he would not say the word 'uncle', so he did not speak immediately, but leisurely took the tea and tasted it slowly.

Chairman Huaxia saw this and immediately hated itchy, he really wanted to slap this bastard to death, he had always been serious in the past, but he didn't expect to go back the more he lived, he regretted marrying his niece, maybe he wouldn't be so bold if he didn't marry.

With a feeling of helplessness, Chairman Hua Xia spoke, "Say, the real purpose of your coming to me." ”

"The real purpose is to report the information that the quantum satellite is listening to." As Xiao Li spoke, he caught a glimpse of Chairman Huaxia's face becoming even more unkind, and immediately coughed and said his true purpose, "First, I think the Earth Federation should establish a listening station. ”

Xiao Li stood up and poured a cup of tea for Chairman Huaxia, "It's not an amateur listening satellite like a quantum satellite...... It's a real, listening space station for signals from the universe. ”

"It has to listen not only to quantum information, but also to a series of information from the radio waves emitted by various civilizations in the universe."

In the past, the earth civilization emitted radio waves to the universe, like the universe conveyed a friendly message, and other civilizations have not emitted radio waves, and the purpose of the listening station is these radio waves, and the direction of transmission is determined by the transmitted radio waves, and then the approximate range is calculated by the computer, and then the next action can be made.

Of course, he also knew that doing so was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, but as long as he caught it, the benefits to the Earth Federation would definitely be greater than the entire sea.

"Second, I believe that the Earth Federation should suspend exploration beyond the solar system."

"Why?" Chairman Huaxia's face was straight.

The establishment of a listening post is just a trivial matter, whether there is a reason or not, as long as Xiao Li wants to, he will do it, but the suspension of exploration beyond the solar system is related to the strategy of the Earth Federation.

Since 1980, human beings have begun to explore the universe beyond the solar system, and 50 years have passed, and human beings have explored the universe outside the solar system more and more frequently, from travelers to explorers, from radio waves to gravitational waves, human beings have taken various means to explore the universe outside the solar system.

For the universe outside the solar system, not only the Earth Federation, but also the academic community are very grateful, and with the further development of the Earth Federation, the conquest of the universe outside the solar system has been put on the agenda, and the exploration is to better collect data.

But now, Xiao Li actually said to stop, if there is no reason, even if he is the baby pimple of the Earth Federation, he will not listen to him.

"Didn't you find out?" Xiao Li put down the teacup and said solemnly, "We haven't discovered our galaxy, and it's not as desolate as our scientists have discovered. ”

"Far from being desolate, it's full of civilizations, but they're all hidden."

"Take the 3,000 parsec, for example." Xiao Li took out his mobile phone and played the information he heard again, "The Galactic Guardian Alliance has issued a warning to the civilizations hidden in the three-thousand-second arm, warning them that there is a cleaner spacecraft entering the three-thousand-second arm, reminding them to pay attention to hiding. ”

"But in the eyes of scientists, the 3,000-parsec arm is made up of young stars, dust and exotic matter, and no life has been found in it, which in a way, our scientists are wrong."

"Our knowledge of the universe is seriously inadequate."

Xiao Li said: "At this time, it is definitely a very risky adventure for us to venture into the universe outside the solar system that we don't know about. ”

"We are so fragile that until now, we have gone to war with the attitude of the times of the country...... Yes, I admit that the strength of our Earth Federation is placed in the era of nations to absolutely crush any country, but our opponents are not countries, they are civilizations, a complete civilization. ”

"Fighting them is definitely a huge disaster for us."

The earth's civilization is too young, and the development history of thousands of years is unimaginable for a country, but it is a little young when it is placed on the interstellar civilization that is tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years old.

Military science and technology do not hesitate to build all kinds of cutting-edge technology, but these cutting-edge technologies are really difficult to transform into civilian technology in a short period of time, such as an anti-gravity force that took nearly ten years to develop from military to civilian, and a series of other cutting-edge technologies such as wormhole technology, cloning technology, T virus technology, and so on are simply far away from being transformed into civilian technology.

"I suggest that we temporarily retreat in the solar system, build high walls and accumulate food to slowly become kings, as for technology, we can completely go to other universes to plunder technology through wormholes."
