After discovering the cause of the anomaly, Ye Fei couldn't care about the solar system in front of him, and immediately commanded the battleship to conduct flight experiments, and after repeating it several times near the solar system, he was not only 100% sure that the battleship's abnormal speed was directly related to the pink crystal, but also found that the time when the battleship's abnormal speed increased was closely related to the duration of the ray irradiation crystal!

Qi Gong irradiated the crystal with rays for a long time last night, saving a lot of flight time for the battleship.

And the intensity of the rays used by Qi Gong was not high, but it affected a battleship as large as the Aquila, and this result was like a slap in the face to everyone, making everyone in the know dizzy.

After activating the crystal in the superluminal state after the experiment, the crystal was activated in the normal state under the suggestion of Qi Gong, but the results of this experiment were unsatisfactory, and it barely reached the speed of light.

In order to accurately grasp the situation of the pink crystal, Ye Fei even ordered the engineering ship to release a satellite to remotely monitor the situation after the Aquila activated the crystal.

In the video taken by the satellite, the Aquila after the crystal was activated was suddenly enveloped by a dazzling red light, and then the battleship flying in the normal state turned into a streamer in an instant.

It took Ye Fei and Qi Gong less than a day to figure out the role of the pink crystal, and the battleship returned directly to the solar system, but in order to disguise the extraordinary speed of the Aquila, the battleship stopped using the crystal outside the solar system and used the ordinary faster-than-light flight method to enter the solar system.

The repair and maintenance base of Chinese warships is located at the base of Saturn, although the United States, Russia and Europe have begun to build their own bases in the outer solar system, and the status here is no longer as important as it was in the past. However, the existence of the Saturn base represents China's ownership of Saturn itself and its nearby satellites, so the Saturn base still has a pivotal position in the sequence of the Space Army.

However, the current Saturn base has long been freed from the embarrassing situation of having to rely on rotation to produce weak gravity, and after the use of artificial gravity, the current Saturn base is the largest Chinese military base in the solar system.

Ye Fei drove the battleship directly to the Saturn base, and after establishing contact with the base, he landed in the designated area outside the base as instructed, and after the battleship came into contact with the mooring area on the base shell, the original gravity-free shell immediately generated one-thirtieth of the standard gravity, don't look at the gravity generated by the Mars base shell is very low, but the volume of the Aquila can be called huge. Even if it's just gravity. It was also enough to attract the battleship to the mooring area.

Then the folding maintenance pod rose layer by layer, completely enveloping the Aquila, blocking all outside gaze.

Normally, maintenance crews do not raise the repair pod, but carry out repairs directly in the exposed universe. But this time was different.

The maintenance crews at the Saturn base could see at a glance that there was no damage to the Warhawk at all. All traces are camouflaged. Usually this means that the battleship is on a classified mission, so the maintenance personnel immediately isolate the battleship from the outside world according to the plan.

Ye Fei personally stepped forward and instructed the maintenance personnel to remove the camouflage on the battleship. After that, meet the top of the Saturn base.

Xu Shijie has long been transferred back to Earth as the deputy commander of the Celestial Army, and now he is one of the members of the National Defense Committee, and the current leader of the Saturn base is a lieutenant general Qian Liguo who Ye Fei is not familiar with.

Ye Fei's military rank is one level lower than that of Lieutenant General Qian, but Ye Fei is famous and is a famous general in the Heavenly Army, so Qian Liguo's attitude is very polite.

After Ye Fei politely said a few words, he directly put forward his own request, asking Qian Liguo to invite Wu Han over as soon as possible in the name of the Saturn base.

Qian Liguo didn't understand why Ye Fei was so mysterious, and asked again and again, but all of them were blocked by Ye Fei with the reason of military secrets.

Qian Liguo couldn't figure out what secrets he couldn't touch as a dignified lieutenant general, so he couldn't ask anything from Ye Fei's mouth, so he could only contact Wu Han according to Ye Fei's intentions - the more mysterious Ye Fei became, the more he felt that Ye Fei had a problem, and even suspected that Ye Fei wanted to be unfavorable to the military's top brass.

Ye Fei also knew that his request was excessive, but he had to do it for the sake of secrecy, in order to dispel Qian Liguo's suspicions, he could only let Qian Liguo directly disclose the news of the Aquila at the Saturn base to Wu Han, and Wu Han himself decided whether to come over or not.

Qian Liguo was a little hesitant at the beginning, but thinking that the Saturn base was stationed with six new warships of the Three Eagles and Three Harriers, Haohan's safety was absolutely not guaranteed, and he reluctantly agreed to Ye Fei's suggestion, but in his heart he had already classified Ye Fei into the ranks of unknown so-called.

Ye Fei contacted Wu Han in a circle, naturally in order to keep it as secret as possible.

Ye Fei had already contacted the strategic command center, but he only said that the battleship had returned as usual, and did not say anything else that might arouse the suspicion of its national strength.

There were not many people in the Chinese strategic command center who knew that the Aquila had returned to the solar system, and when Ye Fei sent the news of the arrival of the battleship back to the strategic command center, everyone thought Ye Fei was crazy.

But when Qian Liguo sent a routine report from the Saturn base that the Aquila had arrived at the base, everyone suddenly felt that they were going crazy.

Qian Liguo casually made up a reason to talk to Wu Han, and vaguely mentioned Ye Fei's meaning during the call, Wu Han immediately agreed without thinking about it, and immediately began to prepare the battleship.

Now is not the time when it used to take several months to connect the two places, after Wu Han took the battleship, he rushed to the Saturn base in just a few minutes, and met with Ye Fei in the classified conference room of the base.

"Ye Fei, what the hell are you doing?" Wu Han asked when he saw Ye Fei that his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes.

It takes three months for the neutron star to return to the solar system, Ye Fei is standing in front of him right now, the only possibility is that he did not explore the neutron galaxy as ordered, and directly gave the order to return.

But what happened to the report that followed?

Wu Han didn't believe that Ye Fei would cheat on this kind of thing.

Ye Fei calmly invited Minister Wu into the conference room, glanced at Qian Liche and said, "Minister, the situation has changed somewhat...... I suggest debriefing you separately. He didn't explain the question to Wu Han at the first time.

Qian Liguo's face changed slightly when he heard this, but his good self-cultivation made him forcibly resist the urge to go crazy.

The base of Saturn has a special place in the Celestial Army. And to the status of him and Ye Fei, not only can he fight, he must understand the world, Ye Fei would rather offend him in person, but also make a suggestion to Wu Han to report separately, there must be some important secrets.

Sometimes it's not a good thing to know too much, so Qian Liguo immediately said that he had other jobs.

However, to Ye Fei and Qian Liguo's surprise, Wu Han directly rejected this suggestion, saying that Qian Liguo was his own person and there was no need to hide it.

The status of the Saturn base is so special, Wu Han, the number one here, of course, wants to send a "own person" who knows the roots.

Since Wu Han said so. Ye Fei no longer insisted. Immediately report on the discovery on the Red Star and the situation on the Silver Star.

When Wu Qian and the others heard that the river of mercury flowing on the silver star did not react as much as Ye Fei at the beginning, Ye Fei, who had been prepared, pressed Qi Gong's speculation tightly, and the two immediately realized the value of the silver star, but they did not see the silver star with their own eyes. It's just that I realized the value. But there is not much intuitive shock. So the reaction wasn't very drastic.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Fei talked about the super-heavy element, and this time the reaction of the two was not as good as just now, until Ye Fei said the effect of the pink crystal. Wu Qian's faces changed suddenly like the faces in the play.

Wu Han said with unprecedented solemnity: "Ye Fei, what you said is true? He believed that Ye Fei would not talk nonsense about this kind of thing, but this matter was too incredible and coincidental, so he couldn't ask more.

"How dare I lie to you with such a thing? It's going to be a head-off! Ye Fei made a head-cutting gesture with his palm on his neck, "If Qi Gong hadn't accidentally discovered the effect of the pink crystal, how could the Aquila come back so quickly?" ”

Last night, the crystal activation time was about six hours, and the average flight time of one light-year was only an hour in such a short period of time.

The flight of one light-year has been reduced from nearly five days to only one hour, and such a leap can no longer be described as a miracle - flying towards Orion at such a speed, the distance of 1,500 light-years can be reached in only two months, which is basically the same time as the previous arrival through the stargate.

But through the stargate, this time will be reduced to twelve hours, what a great step forward would that be?

Qian Liguo finally knew that Ye Fei didn't tell him what he was doing, and if he was himself, he wouldn't tell the truth.

The discovery of the pink crystal will bring epoch-making revolutionary development to the Chinese warship, and it is not necessary to eliminate the old ship, but only need to carry out extremely simple modifications to achieve a super overflight in maneuverability.

Wu Han pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Old Qian, since you already know the Dao, I will leave this matter to you, and organize people to study the superweight element as soon as possible." As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and gestured with a "1".

Qian Liguo nodded thoughtfully: "No problem, most people in the laboratory have been isolated from the outside world, and now they are just extending the isolation time." ”

"Ye Fei, when the old money is ready, hand over all the super-heavy elements to the Saturn base, understand?"

"Understood!" Ye Fei replied without thinking.

"Good!" Wu Han nodded, "In this way, since the pink crystal is already useful, use it as soon as possible." What I mean is this, old money, after you get the crystal, immediately organize reliable personnel to make a batch of fake tachyon engine accessories with pink crystals as the core, which is the latest research results, which can greatly increase the flight speed of warships, and then install them on all warships. ”

"Okay, I see how to do it." Qian Liguo immediately understood what Wu Han meant.

The process of activating the Pink Crystal is very simple, whether it is directly installed on the battleship or made into the appearance of an instrument, there is no technical difficulty, and the latter method can be used to minimize leakage.

"The first set will be installed on the Aquila, and in addition, when the Aquila leaves, bring a few new engines, and you can send someone to install the battleship stationed at the stargate."

"No problem." Qian Liguo nodded and agreed to the errand.

"Ye Fei, your task now is to do a good job of secrecy, all the engineers who know about it will be handed over to the Saturn base, and the old money will arrange new positions, and the personnel gap will also be filled by the old money, who will let him have more talents here." Wu Han said, "Other people in the know must do a good job of confidentiality education and must not leak the slightest bit of information." ”

"Yes. I've done that. Ye Fei hurriedly replied.

In fact, it is nothing if the news is not blocked, the United States, Russia and Europe have no ability to cross 1,500 light years at all, and even if they know the situation of neutron stars and superheavy elements, they can only stare dryly.

The only thing to watch out for is the mechanical civilization that has always been an ally.

The mechanical civilization opened the conditions for the passage of the Orion Nebula before the Chinese side carried out any exploration, and it is very likely that it is known that the neutron galaxy is so large, and it is still unknown how many superheavy element deposits can be mined.

The military is very powerful in the eyes of ordinary people, but compared with mechanical civilization, it is not much different from a beggar, and it is not easy to find something valuable. What if you don't cover it up quickly?

"That's good. The use of neutron galaxies must be put on the agenda, old money, how is the research of robots? Wu Han turned his head and asked Qian Liguo, who was sitting beside him.

"It went very well."

"Well, a research team of twelve people has been organized on Earth. The Aquila was refitted. Take the research group and enough robots back to the neutron galaxy. The specific construction work was handed over to the robot, and the research work was handed over to the research team, Ye Fei. You're taking the Aquila with you to take care of the defense of the neutron galaxy, no problem, right? ”

"No problem at all." Ye Fei hurriedly made a statement.

"Old money?"

"I'm fine, but these robots are made with the technology of mechanical civilization, in case there is a hidden program backdoor......"

"It's not a big problem, you still don't know the details of the research of these robots, right?" Wu Han smiled, "In fact, this problem was considered at the beginning of the research, all robots completely cancel the resonance remote control device, and can only be controlled by program or radio, unless the mechanical civilization finds the neutron galaxy and cracks the robot's program at close range, otherwise, ...... Ha Lu Ha. ”

"Understood." Qian Liguo nodded.

"Minister, there are only twelve people, isn't it a little less?" Ye Fei hesitated for a moment and put forward his opinion, "Even if there are one hundred and twenty, it's not enough." ”

Although he didn't know how to do research, with his understanding of neutron galaxies, it would be a drop in the bucket for twelve people to study such a large galaxy thoroughly.

"Of course it's more than a few." "They're just the first batch, and more researchers will send them over." ”

In any country, the number of high-end talents is limited, and the fate of these talents is also the top concern of hostile countries.

If the Chinese side sends a large number of scientific researchers out of the solar system at once, a fool can see that there is a problem, and if it selects personnel in batches one after another, it can minimize the enemy's suspicions.

The Allies are not monolithic, and since the threat of the Aliens has disappeared, the Alliance has been a dead end in name only.

In fact, Wu Han was not worried about the secret hostile country knowing about the neutron galaxy, even if the Chinese side publicly revealed the situation, they could only see it but not eat, and stared at it vigorously.

But I'm afraid that they will jump over the wall in a hurry and use assassination and other means to deal with Chinese scientific researchers.

"And!" Wu Han thought for a while and said, "Old Qian, except for the new engines on the Aquila, it is best to find a way to limit the engine speed of other ships, not too fast, I think it is enough to fly one light year a day, such a speed is enough for now, and it is not good for the development of the military to be too advanced." ”

"I think there should be no problem in the technique, but it really can't work, so I will make a manual and limit the speed by limiting the power." Qian Liguo immediately gave a suitable solution.

"Okay, that's it, you two will start working on it immediately, this matter is classified as top secret, and it is not to be disclosed to anyone, and I will not take it to the meeting to say it publicly." Wu Han said half-truthfully.

I will not say it openly at the meeting, but in private, I will definitely communicate with important leaders in the military and political circles.

"Minister, I have one more thing!" Ye Fei said suddenly.

"What? And also? Wu Han almost bit his tongue, found a neutron star, how much benefit did he get?

"That's right!" Ye Fei said that the light green crystal could produce powerful lasers, and Wu Qian and the others immediately looked at each other.

The emergence of lasers began with ruby lasers, but the weapon-grade laser structure of military is not so simple, and even superconducting raw materials must be used to create high-power laser weapons, which is also one of the reasons why reflective lasers are always used for the main guns of military warships.

However, the appearance of green crystals will change this situation, and if all the small laser emitters of the main gun are replaced with crystal laser emitters, the range of the main gun will inevitably increase.

In addition, the discovery of green crystals will also pave the way for the development of small-sized laser weapons with simple structure and easy to use, and it can be predicted that in the near future, laser guns using super-heavy elements as an excitation medium are likely to be equipped with troops in batches.

Wu Han couldn't wait to knock Ye Fei with a stick: "Why did you think of it?" ”

Ye Fei smiled: "Actually, I wanted to say it just now, but I didn't find a chance." Minister, for the sake of the party-state, let's replace the lasers on the Aquila first, the crystals I brought back are enough. ”

"You kid have to make inches." Wu Han accused indignantly.

"Don't be angry, didn't I discuss it with you? Fat water does not leave outsiders to the field, and the Aquila still has to guard the neutron star, how can it do without some powerful weapons? ”

"Go, go, stay and go, bring back the crystals, you don't want to use the Aquila again, as for the return to the neutron star, you can do whatever you like."

"Yes, that's it." Ye Fei smiled happily and agreed. (To be continued......)
