"Tempting what? Is there sincerity in cooperation? So why bother us? We're just a small character, and we can just use it for surgery. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Cornworth felt that the other party was just talking about things, not so complicated.

Viola said, "I also think it's a temptation, but it's a test to see if the message the leader has given him is true. ”

Ivan was a little annoyed: "Why didn't the leader tell us what he communicated with Harappa?" ”

"That's because the leader can't fully trust Harappa, and it will affect our judgment to make it clear to us beforehand, and we are here to act as a detector. So, we can only tell us the background and some precautions. ”

Wu Kang continued: "Viola is right, Harappa's temptation should be related to some very crucial information told to him by the leader. ”

"I see......"

Li Xiaoxiao suddenly said: "Have you noticed?" Here, as in the captive camp, the Qimu superiors have no respect for their subordinates, and do not even treat them as individuals. Harappa also said that here he is the supreme will. ”

But Harappa doesn't treat us like his subordinates, he doesn't even see us as an extension of the perception of a leader, he and Jizampa really treat each of us as individuals. Everyone had different questions during our visit, and Gizampa was not surprised at all, which was very strange among their Kimu people. ”

After all, he knew the Qimu people the most, and Li Xiaoxiao's words made everyone fall into deep thought, and after a long time, Wu Kang's eyes flashed with clarity: "In the communication between the leader and Harappa, there is one of the most critical messages, that is, the question of the belonging of the soul. The leader must have told Harappa that our souls are independent of each other and cannot be invaded. ”

Cornworth also understood: "This message, I'm afraid, is also related to Harappa's personal appeal, he said that all the souls of their Qimu people belong to the mother tree, in fact, he wants to get rid of such a fate!" ”

Cornworth's conclusions are only hypothetical, but many things already make sense, but more evidence is needed to complete this logic, and everyone will not take it as a conclusive conclusion.

As for Ji Zampa's proposal, Li Xiaoxiao took the initiative to stand up: "I'm willing to do the experiment!" ”

At this time, even Cornworth is resolutely opposed, not to mention the daughter of the Academy of Sciences, it is just the identity of Am's immigrant idol, and no one wants to let her take risks.

Of course, Cornworth's objection is probably more because he wants to try, according to him, if he can try to get the Qimu people to transplant a carapace gene similar to the Yaojia in his body, he can incarnate a carapace superman.

Wu Kang sent the news back to Xia Ming through Su Huan, this matter is very important, and it is too dangerous, and it must be decided by Xia Ming.

Harappa's flagship is currently docked next to an Imperial Ring far away from the family, which is much more lively than the Bassenberga Ring. The nearby planet has been transformed into a trading hub, where families and chambers of commerce trade goods.

This is the edge of the Qi Empire's control of the star field, and as expected, the spirit net has been suppressed here, and it can only keep in touch with Xia Ming and them through a few high-level dimensions. If the number of messages sent is too large and the number of contacts is too frequent, it is difficult to ensure that it will not be discovered by the high-level wizards of the Qimu people, especially Harappa, so including the last report on Harappa, it is sent with the most concise shorthand code.

Xia Ming's instructions soon came back: "Gradually go deeper, see the opportunity, take risks but don't gamble." ”

Thinking about this simple sentence, the team also reached a consensus, and Jizampa's proposal could be considered, but it was not in a hurry to accept it now.

"Understood, when you have a decision, you can start at any time."

When visiting the mothership with Jizampa again, Wu Kang mentioned this matter, saying that he wanted to know more about the situation before making a decision, and Jizanpa didn't seem surprised.

After that, the team was led by Jizanpa and inspected all aspects of the mothership, and also had a more intuitive impression of the social structure of the Qimu people.

The social structure of the Qimu people is very similar to the feudal system of medieval Europe in the human world, with the royal family with the Archaeoptera tree as the core holding strategic resources such as strange stones and monopolizing the star ring. The family is equivalent to a feudal state, and can only make faster-than-light jumps in the form of a star ringship, and can no longer use a star ring ship in the core star field of the empire.

The royal family also has a powerful Imperial fleet, the most powerful rank 6 battle mothership, which is said to be a battle planet that can make jumps. If the battle planet of the royal family is dispatched, it will mean a decisive battle with the enemy of life and death, so it is basically invisible. The main military force representing the empire is still the fifth-class battle mothership, which is generally modified from asteroids with a diameter of thousands of kilometers.

The legendary seventh-level weapon, then it is not a battleship, but a black hole. But in the hundreds of thousands of brilliance of this generation, the Qimu people have never seen it, only fragmentary accounts left over from previous generations.

Harappa's flagship is a Tier 4 Battle Mothership, which is also the largest ship the family can have. The long axis is more than 400 kilometers, and the width and height are more than 100 kilometers.

How strong the gravitational barrier of a fourth-class battle carrier is, how many masses the gravitational traction beam can tow, and how powerful the gravitational cannon is, all depend on Harappa himself. From this point of view, the entire battle mothership is a bit like the magic tower of the great mage Harappa.

Jizanpa revealed that this mothership once used a gravitational cannon to cut a small piece of a planet similar to Scarlet Star with one shot, and it seems that it is indeed at the level of a Star Destroyer.

Class 4 battle carriers carry 50 to 60 million personnel in normal times, and can double in large-scale battles. The mothership carries more than 3,000 warships of various types, the large ones are the size of human battleships, and the small ones are about the same as traffic boats.

Wu Kang and the others have never understood why the mothership of the Qimu people should hold so many people. The original receiver had more than 20 million people on board, and Harappa's flagship could even carry hundreds of millions.

The answer to this question was given during the inspection of the receiving team's mothership, and that was that the Qimu people did not have computers and did not develop automation and robotics. One of their cannons requires hundreds of people to operate, and all kinds of occasions that require calculation or precise control are borne by individual wizards. A wizard is like a closed computer that can only run one program. Around the execution and interaction of this computer, there are countless people who cooperate. In such a cumulative, it is natural that terrifying numbers will be piled up.

As soon as there were more people, the amount of life support systems and supplies also increased, and in the end, each mothership actually became a closed and independent small kingdom. The vast majority of Qimu people, from life to death, have never left the mothership. For them, the planet is just a place to fight and work.

Boarding Harappa's flagship, the team has a new understanding of the problem, except for less than 5% of the total who have a name similar to "xxpa", the rest of the people are the same as "Coco Kirid", only numbered. And these people, in the eyes of Harappa and even Jizampa, are actually not independent individuals, that is, 95% of the Qimu people are not regarded as human beings. Of these 95%, wizards are just "will containers" for Harappa and xxpa, and infantry is even more expendable.

From their living environment, it can be seen that the infantry's living compartment is like a freezer in a morgue, and the cabin can accommodate 600 people in a compartment of about 1,000 cubic meters. In this way, one cubic kilometer can accommodate 600 million people, and this mothership is quite spacious.

Of course, the environment of wizards is much better than that of infantry, each of them has about 10 cubic meters of personal space, and wizards of the xx level are even more spacious. Gizampa had invited Wu Kang and them to his residence, which was almost a small palace.

What kind of wizard is qualified to be called "so-and-so Pa", Li Xiaoxiao asked Ji Zampa very curiously, and the other party replied vaguely: "The soul has enough qualities, just like the Ancestral Mother Tree grows new branches and leaves, and to this extent it will also become Pa." Becoming a Pa is the only way for a wizard to transcend a wizard, but not every Pa can become a transcendent wizard. ”

This is really related to the freedom of the soul......

After Harappa's flagship jumped away from the Basensbeka Ring, he stayed outside this ring, because he wanted to replenish supplies on the trade planet next to the ring in order to repair the damaged parts of the Star Alliance, and Wu Kang was still the culprit.

In terms of human time, a month and a half after Wu Kang and the others came to the mothership, that is, at the end of May 2040, the Harappan flagship was finally about to act, and the target was the home planet of the Luo Xingren, a vassal civilization of the Fire Demon.

When the flagship started the jump, Wu Kang and the others finally realized the weightlessness they had not seen for a long time. The previous flagship has maintained a gravity of 0.4g, which is not very comfortable for humans, but it is much better than long-term weightlessness.

The artificial gravity on the Qimu Mothership is very strange, with the cross-section of the flagship's long axis as the horizontal line, and the direction of gravity on the horizontal line is exactly the opposite of the direction of gravity under the line, as if the planet is flattened into a line.

Artificial gravity is a human dream, how did the Qimu people do it, originally thought it was top secret, and Harappa would never let humans touch it. Unexpectedly, when Wu Kang tentatively asked this question, Ji Zampa took them to the relevant control room without hesitation, and revealed the secret to them in front of the crystal wall of the control room.

On the long-axis cross-section of the mothership, there is a gravity ring well about half a kilometer high, which is composed of strange stone fragments and floating stones to form a three-dimensional array with a complex structure. Through these strange stone fragments, the sorcerer excites the floating stone, and through complex coordination, oppresses and binds a gravitational field into two diffraction fields in opposite directions.

The mothership's gravitational barrier, gravitational traction beam and even gravitational cannon are actually built on this layer of gravity ring wells, and the jump is also the use of gravity ring wells. Therefore, when activating the gravitational barrier, activating the high-power gravitational cannon, and making a jump, the gravity well can no longer maintain artificial gravity.

This finally completes the knowledge of the Star Federation, there was a similar ring well on the receiving team mothership before, but the array inside has been damaged, and the wizard who operated the mothership is also dead, and the Star Federation does not know the original appearance of the ring well and the details of the work.

As with many things on the mothership, Harappa allowed Wu Kang to see the core structure of the mothership because it was only a material structure. The real workings are in the wizard's head, and it has to do with what the Kimu people call the soul.

After the weightlessness lasted for about two hours, gravity recovered, which is not to say that the superluminal speed jump of the Qimu people is slower than that of the Star Union, Wu Kang guessed that the jump of the Qimu people is achieved by the wizard sensing the gravitational flow direction, and then through layers of "virtual gravitational paths", that is, it is actually an upgraded version of similar curvature navigation. Each layer needs to take time to sense and locate, which is different from Starlink directly using the mapping of dimensional nodes on gravity to achieve the jump.

The "virtual gravitational path" is a hot topic in the Academy of Sciences. Although Starlink's dimensional jump is convenient, it also has many limitations. In addition to people with a high degree of consciousness and activity, the transition distance should not be too short, preferably between different galaxies, otherwise the dimensional disturbance caused by space-time displacement will be difficult to resolve. Traveling within a galaxy, which still relies on jet engines, can only reach 1% of the speed of light at the fastest (faster is possible, but the average speed is just that, given the long acceleration phase and the slowdown required to reach the target).

A galaxy is a low-dimensional universe, with a diameter of more than 1 light-year, and the Oort Nebula, where the solar system is located, has a diameter of 2 light-years.

Now this problem can be solved by dimensional jumps, but when astronautics ushers in great development, and countless spaceships are active in a galaxy every day, even Qianyan can't bear it, let alone her daughters.

In anticipation, the Academy of Sciences naturally has to look forward for decades and find new ways of astronautics. At first, he wanted to find a breakthrough in curvature navigation, but found that he was detached from the dimensional technology possessed by the Star Alliance, and simply climbed the conventional technology, and the energy required for curvature navigation was enough to evacuate the existing observable universe of human beings.

Moving down from the dimension, some scientists have proposed the idea of a "virtual gravitational path" (VGL), that is, after the further development of gravitational technology, gravity can be accurately observed and analyzed. In the way of dimension mapping, the space-time substitution, including dimension nodes, required for dimension transition, is reduced to the path transformation of gravitational association. As long as the dimensional nodes in the same galaxy do not change, but the correlation path between gravity and the dimensional nodes changes, astronautics can achieve nearly the speed of light.

VGL does not need super energy, it only needs to create a virtual VGLP (virtual gravitational path pool) in advance, the spacecraft enters the VGLP first, and then docks the gravitational path, and replaces the gravitational path of the starting place and the target location with virtual paths. After that, the gravitational force of the target site will pull the spacecraft directly over as it should be, thus achieving a flight close to the speed of light.

However, VGL is only a conjecture, and it is based on the maturity of gravitational technology, and it is necessary to fully grasp the gravitational technology of the Qimu people before we can talk about the feasibility of VGL.

"We should bring a scientist here......"

Wu Kang's scientific literacy was not high enough to judge whether his conjecture was correct, so he had to sigh so excitedly.

Satomi Hirosue, the stargazer with the highest scientific literacy in the team, said: "I think it's really similar, but even scientists can't get more out of it, after all, the details are in Harappa's head, and such a leap should be carried out by Harappa himself." ”

Not long after the mothership regained its gravity, it was weightless again, and everyone thought that the jump was in stages, but Jizanpa appeared and said to them: "We are close to the home planet of the Luoxing, the battle situation is a little bad, the battlefield is much larger than the last time His Highness came down, and the mothership must support the gravitational barrier with all its might." ”

He continued: "You want to see the battlefield with your own eyes, and now is your chance. ”

Wu Kang and the others looked at each other, and said in their hearts, this is indeed an opportunity. (To be continued.) )
