The development of science and technology does not tolerate the slightest fraud; In the universe, scientists use their lives to explore the true meaning of the universe! Unlike practice, which is only personal; The exploration of science is all-encompassing. Whether it is material, energy, time or space, they are all fields of scientific exploration.

Virtual object technology allows human beings to initially get in touch with the edge of "creating zào"; The warp speed engine and energy crystallization technology have given humans the ability to challenge time and space. And now, the warp engine system is making the final corrections. Today, the year 607 has come to the imperial calendar; The Flame Family has been here on Earth for 70 years. It took seventy years to combine the power of two civilizations to develop the warp engine.

Seventy years is too long to change too much. Especially after seventy years, it is impossible for the people of the Flame Family to still live in space; Naturally, the Central Empire divided an area of 10,000 square kilometers on Venus for them to live in. In the relatively concentrated urbanization construction, 10,000 square kilometers is enough to accommodate 200 million people - of course, this has to be much stricter in terms of scientific and technological requirements and ecological requirements. Looking around, there are all 100-meter buildings. So far, because of the weakness of the earth's crust, no buildings more than 100 meters are allowed on Venus. Except, of course, scientific research and the military.

In the beginning, there was little communication between the Flame Family and Venus; After all, it is a different civilization, and the Holy Sun Empire, where the Flame Family is located, also plays the role of an invader. If it weren't even for Zhang Jingyuan's appearance, Venus would have held a demonstration against the Flame Family settling here.

But 70 years is enough time to change a lot; Gradually. The two sides began to communicate, began to understand each other, and even began to translate each other's languages; The factories set up by the Flame family here and some of the unique goods produced by them have gradually entered the scope of procurement of daily necessities for human beings on Earth. For example, aircraft of foreign civilizations, computers, fashion items, art, and so on.

As for the Flame Family, because of its resemblance to Earth humans in appearance, it has been inevitable for a long time - the phenomenon of intermarriage. Of course, for the time being, after the two parties get married, there is no way to have offspring, and the genetic gap is a bit large; But it doesn't get in the way of falling in love.

And for the question of future generations. Generally, all of the man's genes and some of the woman's genes are used. IVF is performed to reproduce offspring.

In the case of intermarriage, both the Flame Family and the Empire acquiesced. Because intermarriage is conducive to integration! Humanity wants to enter the Pearl Star Field. Partners are needed; The same is true for the Flame Family. Earth Humans. There are already enough qualifications to work together as a partner. In this case, it begins with intermarriage. Again, there was an experiment in this: the empire wanted to intermarry with guò, etc. Leaving behind some of the scientists and talents of the Flame Family, and further excavating the culture, knowledge, and history of the Flame Family; Similarly, the Flame Family has the same idea. Especially in terms of cultivation, the Flame Family has always wanted to obtain the cultivation method of the human beings on the earth, rather than simply practicing qigong.

However, if you want to complete the edification, 70 years is still a bit short; To this day, the Flame Family can only understand Qigong practice simply. Qigong is no longer translated as "air in the body".

However, over the years, the Republic has done several things that have made the empire unpleasant; Some rulers and wealthy people want to dig into the wall; Mainly in recent years, the average life expectancy on the part of the empire has begun to move towards the 200-year-old mark; And the average life expectancy in the republic is still about 90 years old! This clearly does not please the rulers. It's just that the gap in science and technology, the gap in social policy, etc., has made such a gap like this. Environmental pollution, etc., the impact of strict zhòng on the improvement of life expectancy.

Over the years, as Zhang Jingyuan gradually faded out of the foreground, the subsequent emperors wanted to bring the earth under the control of the empire; The contradictions that broke out between the two sides are not a day or two. It's just that the republic is now embattled and unable to form an effective counterattack against the empire. Also, now that the core of the Republic has migrated to the Barnard system, Earth has gradually been abandoned. But giving up does not mean that you are willing to surrender to the Empire.

In such a crack, it is conceivable that the current social ecology of the earth can be described as backward; There are not many top scientists, all of whom work in the research laboratories of the Empire.

It's just that the Flame Family is not stupid, you don't have anything, why did you come here to woo me. What the? Give us the earth? Ha, sorry, we don't care about a planet! For cosmic civilization, what matters is a complete, independently ruled galaxy, not a planet in the cracks.

And in order to curry favor with the Empire, the Flame Family "inadvertently" leaked this information during the conversation. Then, the Flame Family's credibility in the Empire was even better.

In the 610th year of the imperial calendar, after nearly a hundred years of technological integration and explosion, the human side of the earth has built a total of 50 spaceships of 1,000 kilometers, of which 5 have been built here in the solar system; Two of them are exact replicas of the Flame Family's ships, which can be regarded as a learning and imitation. Now, in three years, all five spacecraft have been replaced with warp engines.

In addition to these, humans on Earth have also built more than 2,000 spaceships with a diameter of 100 kilometers, all of which use warp engines. Using the warp engine, under the existing technical conditions, it consumes a lot of energy and can achieve five times the speed of light. Generally, for every 100 million kilometers flown one, the warp engine can be started once, and suddenly 10 billion kilometers will be crossed.

With such technology, from the middle of 610 years, the human beings on Earth began a new wave of cosmic expansion.

In addition, the development and miniaturization of the warp engine have enabled the mecha's cosmic individual combat ability to be realized.

At the end of the year 610 of the Imperial calendar, the Flame Clan was finally sure to return; However, more than 70 years of development and integration, and more than 200 years of estrangement, have made many descendants of the Flame Family ready to settle in the empire; Of course, there are also some citizens of the empire who want to go to the Pearl Star Domain to see and understand because of their marriage.

But before the start of the Flame Family, the Blaze. Bright. Rong Hui found Zhang Jingyuan and said: What, Mr. Zhang, let's have a friendly match.

"Okay!" Zhang Jingyuan immediately smiled, and immediately understood the mentality of the Flame Family. In the individual superpower competition, the Flame family suffered losses year after year, and the best result was only in the Galaxy League, which passed the knockout stage, and was picked out of the ring in the challenge after the knockout round. The so-called challenge tournament is that after the knockout round, some people who are not satisfied can challenge the winner.

Now, they are about to leave the Empire, and it is clear that the Flame Family wants to regain some face. As for the challenge, the Flame Family is also very clear, even if the personal challenge is over, how about the mecha in our competition. The Flame Family is self-aware, and with ordinary superpowers, if they want to compare themselves with cultivators, they are looking for abuse. But mecha technology is different, this is more of a contest of scientific and technological strength.

The venue of the match was a military base and was not disclosed. The two sides involved, in addition to the soldiers involved, also had the top of both sides. It's just that for such a "child's play", Boss Zhang said that it didn't mean much. Presiding over this game is the eighth emperor of the empire - Zhang Xingyu, the former governor of Mars. In order to adapt to the development of the new era, Zhang Shengtang had to take the initiative to abdicate and let Zhang Xingyu, who was full of radical ideas, take the throne.

There is nothing verbose, the military just does things simply.

An imperial officer with a height of one meter eight and a dark face strode down, stood in the middle of the field, and faced the Flame Family, "Of the Flame Family, which of you is specifically responsible, come down and discuss." How about winning and how about losing? Dry competition, nothing interesting, how about we add some color?

Oh, by the way, my name is Li Hongyuan, and I'm from the Imperial Earl Family. ”

This Li family is the descendant of Li Guoyi, an expert in spacecraft development in the master company of the year; Regardless of the fact that the descendants have not produced particularly amazing characters, it has been passed down for more than 600 years, and the duke family has been demoted to the earl family. In fact, many families were "downgraded" back then. Under the conditions of the hereditary system of reduction, if the descendants could not contribute to the empire, they could only be demoted until the title disappeared completely. In order to avoid completely losing all their strength, many families began to seek a new path, such as the Dragon family, which established the Aquila Empire!

Of course, in order to retain talents, the empire is also constantly adjusting its strategy; However, retaining talents is not the main thing, the most important thing is to have a good foundation for talent training and discovery. For more than 600 years, the empire has remained strong, not only because Zhang Jingyuan has been silently watching behind his back, but also closely related to the social system and talent selection mechanism.

In such a situation, the existing aristocracy had to try to express themselves, to prevent future generations from becoming "ordinary citizens". In addition, with the adjustment of the empire and the popularization of social practice, the level of "noble people" that flourished for a time has become history.

"Me!" Not to be outdone, the Flame Family is not to be outdone. A strong man with a foot of two meters and three, like an iron tower. The practice of qigong has made the personal ability and physical quality of the Flame family qualitatively improved, and many talents have emerged as a result.

The strong man walked in front of Li Hongyuan, his eyes blazing, "Flame family flame. Bright. Hengxing. Now that the color head is added, what about a 100-kilometer spaceship? ”

This Flame Family really made up their minds, and even took out a spaceship of hundreds of kilometers as a bet. This is clearly not a flame. Bright. Hengxing, the officer, can decide. The cost of a spacecraft of hundreds of kilometers is also as high as the annual gross domestic product of Venus.

"Good!" Li Hongyuan has no nonsense. "For the sake of fairness and in order to reflect the combat effectiveness of both sides as much as possible, how about the ten rounds."

"Ten rounds? Plausible. "Both are military. After a brief discussion, the decision was made. Ten rounds of matches, except for the prohibition of injuring and maiming people, and the prohibition of the use of ranged attack weapons, the rest are not restricted. Same as normal games.

On the way back, Li Hongyuan had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, I will let you live under the fear of Huaxia forever, and you will not dare to have the slightest dissent!" "It's a little game that involves more than just the surface. This is more of a collision between two civilizations and races. This is actually a battle between the top and the bottom!
