"The civilization of the VSC-16 galaxy, who call themselves the Kron, has a large planet and is highly technologically advanced. In their main-sequence galaxies, they completed the transformation of three habitable planets. ”

"Strong—don't they have the ability to travel through wormholes?"

"According to the description of the ancestors, they should have been. But for unknown reasons, they didn't explore further into the universe. Wu Da's expression was very indifferent, and he even shrugged his shoulders in the usual way of Ye Ming: "Maybe they think that the adjacent galaxies are worthless, or maybe they think that rash exploration will cause war, in short, they are just very focused on building and exploring this galaxy." ”

Ye Ming's eyebrows raised slightly, and he said in surprise: "Then the executor doesn't care about them?" ”

"They probably have some kind of contract with the executor. The knowledge of the ancestors about the executors was also learned through them. ”

Ye Ming frowned: "Neutral civilization? ”

"The executors are not the destroyers of the universe, they are only attacking and interfering with civilizations that have violated forbidden technology." Uda was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Although I think this is ridiculous, the fact that the Kodo tribe has multiplied and continued smoothly in the eyes also proves it. ”

Ye Ming fell into a long thought, and after half a sound, he raised his head: "So, can we be sure that the executors are just like we guessed before, what they are executing is only a set reaction process - they are actually pure intelligent mechanical civilizations?" ”

"There is no evidence for this so far."

Ye Ming hummed and fell into thought again.

In any war, figuring out where the enemy came from and what he wanted is the most important task, which is why humanity is so "generous" to the Blue Starmen - in large part to understand what the executor is through them. Similarly, the reconnaissance spacecraft that humanity is about to set sail will also go all the way along the star path from which the executor came, preparing to have a "pre-war exchange" with the other side.

All these are for the purpose of understanding, communicating, exchanging, and even quelling the war with the enemy before the start of the war.

The bigwigs of the Alliance of Human Communities have also made many plans and drawn many red lines for this purpose - as long as peace can be achieved, humanity will not even mind making some concessions in order to seek opportunities for development.

But these are predicated on the fact that the executor is able to communicate and is willing to communicate.

But now, listening to what Wuda said, the more Ye Ming felt that this executor was a little weird - how could it feel a little similar to the human immune system?

- Suppose that the technological development of a civilization touches the "taboo" and is similar to a virus invasion or infection, then if you look at the universe at the human body, the executor is to activate the white blood cells sent by the immune system.

In other words, people are anti-virus software, and what touches the "taboo" is a computer virus.

This guess made Ye Ming very unhappy.

It feels like I've somehow become a villain.

"I can't figure it out." After being silent for a long time, Ye Ming looked at Wuda again: "What we attracted the executor was the artificial singularity technology, right?" ”

"That's one of the strongest spatial fluctuations."

"What about you in the first place? Is it too? ”

"According to the records, the ancestors must have conducted experiments to capture Void Energy - you call it Vacuum Zero Point Energy."

"Hmm...... Roughly speaking, disturbance of the original rules of the universe will attract executors. Ye Ming closed his eyes and opened them again after a few seconds: "But I still don't quite understand why, after mastering these, it will threaten the rule of the executor?" Or is the universe going to be destroyed? Isn't that a joke about the destruction of the universe......"

Uda nodded calmly: "Yes, we don't understand it either." ”

Ye Ming couldn't think of a reason for thinking about it for a long time, so he put it on hold, then looked at Wuda, and suddenly smiled: "Then you still dare to build an artificial wormhole with us?" ”

Wuda had always been very calm, but when he heard this, he immediately fell silent, and after a while, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "You are not afraid, so what else do we have to fear?" And, you have to admit it...... Human beings and we have very similar similarities in the pursuit of truth. ”

Ye Ming was speechless for a while.

The Blue Star Man once inflicted modifications on the Earth, which is already a scholarly recognized history...... No one can deny it, but when Uda heard this, he always felt that even the nature of human beings to pursue the truth had been inspired and influenced by the Blue Star people......

It feels like that's a bit like that.

However, he quickly put aside this little bit of unhappiness - even if humans were once inspired by the Blue Star People, it is a fact that humans are now better mixed.

"Well, it looks like you're counting on that Kerong man, right? It's impossible to ask them for help anymore. ”

Uda nodded: "Actually, as far as we know the universe, once a war starts...... The outcome is often devastating, especially for civilizations that live on a single planet, because destroying war resources is the best option to end war. ”

Ye Ming was silent, and then smiled slightly.

"So, some battles have to be fought."

"Do you really have faith?"

"Yes."

"What weapons do you have?"

"Sorry, it's still a secret."

……

In the next few days, Ye Ming participated in several meetings and met with several bosses, on the one hand, to report on the work, and on the other hand, to strengthen his belief.

He then took a plane directly to Jiangcheng.

As the first city to ignite controlled nuclear fusion, Jiangcheng is at the forefront of everything related to "electricity" - now that residents' electricity has been reduced to a dime, not to mention for a while, it even plans to introduce a policy of free electricity for residents.

The results are remarkable: Jiangcheng has the highest penetration rate of household appliances in the world and is the first city to eliminate gas stations altogether.

Because of the business card effect, the International Center for Controlled Nuclear Fusion Energy is also located here.

Three black commercial vehicles quietly drove into the gate of the energy center, and a moment later, a group of professors and senior engineers went out in unison and stood in a row outside the building.

When Ye Ming stepped out of the car door, the cadres led by Director Huo Liang were full of smiles and applauded in unison.

"Teacher Huo, Academician Luo, Academician Chen, Academician Du......" Ye Ming shook hands with these teachers who had fought side by side ten years ago and greeted them one by one, smiling constantly: "I haven't seen you for many years, but your teachers still have the same demeanor." ”

"How can we beat you?" Academician Huo Liang laughed and grabbed Ye Ming's arm: "Let's go, let's go into the house." ”

As everyone returned to the living room, everyone chatted about homely things.

Almost all of the people present were engaged in controlled nuclear fusion reactors and fusion engines with Ye Ming in the past, but since the Yueyue went to the sky, Ye Ming has never returned to Jiangcheng. There are a lot of people here, but I haven't seen them for years.

Now Professor Huo Liang has become the director with the identity of the chief scientist and fuel expert of the Invited Month, and everyone else has been rated as academicians, which can be regarded as a great joy.

"Why don't we have a meeting right here?" Ye Ming was also very happy when he saw his old friend for the first time, but he was busy after all, so he didn't have so much time to chat.

Professor Huo Liang nodded with a smile: "Okay, you have the final say." ”

"Uh...... So I'm really going to get started, right? Ye Ming looked at everyone and smiled slightly: "There are still three months, we will be able to carry out two-dimensional expansion experiments, how long will the fission thruster last?" ”

- When the rice grain was first designed, a variety of propulsion schemes were considered, including controlled nuclear fusion, fuel rockets, etc., but in the end, a controlled, simple structure was chosen.

That's right, a fission engine, not a fusion engine.

Although fusion can produce higher energy and turn it into a driving force, the current two-dimensional unfolding design scheme is extremely complex, and the means by which controlled nuclear fusion can be realized, the fission engine is much simpler and not much slower.

Hearing that Ye Ming went straight to the point as soon as he spoke, everyone present laughed in understanding.

Ten years have passed, and sure enough, this guy's style has not changed.

But today, no one answered him immediately, but their eyes looked at Professor Huo Liang in unison.

Ye Ming was a little puzzled, and also looked at Professor Huo Liang.

Professor Huo Liang smiled slightly: "Let's not talk about fission thrusters first, let's talk about fusion thrusters." ”

Ye Ming was slightly stunned: "Fusion thruster? Helium-3 fusion? ”

Professor Huo Liang shook his head slightly: "We have just completed cold nuclear fusion. ”

Ye Ming's pupils shrank instantly: "How did you do it?" ”

"Remember what we said when we first lit the fire? The Ni people have been engaged in cold nuclear fusion based on high pressure. ”

Ye Ming immediately remembered the scene at that time in his mind - he still remembered that he was inspecting the experimental building with the group of people here, when the lace news mentioned it.

"Well, and then what?"

"They didn't make it, we did." Professor Huo Liang exhaled slowly: "Of course, it can't be regarded as the kind of alchemy-like cold nuclear fusion, it can be regarded as a kind of high-pressure cold fusion." ”

"And according to our calculations, it is naturally better suited to 'narrow' 'spaces'."

Saying that, Professor Huo Liang clapped his hands: "In two-dimensional space, it is easy to realize. ”
