A day later.

At the Guanghan base on the moon, Ye Ming stood at the end of the tarmac, and after watching the five spaceships disappear into the vast night, he lightly touched the headset and resumed communication with Wuda.

- Just yesterday, the news that the Kra ship that had come to communicate was stopped in the VSC-29 space was confirmed, and it was immediately put on the regular video conference of the senior leadership of the Community. Through simple consultations, the various countries of the human race quickly reached a consensus, and expressed the high value of humanity towards the Kra people through diplomatic channels, and authorized Taiyo to contact the Kra people to jointly seek a response.

This statement made the new Grand Reis Uda very grateful, saying that the Kra tribe was about to send a fleet to support and solve the problem, and hoped that the human race would provide necessary assistance.

To this, humanity's answer is that it will do its best to help.

"We sent two attack scouts to the VSC-29 field to pick up your men, and these two attack scouts carried a total of eight grains of rice, and theoretically, no battleship squad would be able to escape its attack."

While turning around and walking towards the complex, Ye Ming personally informed Wuda of the human solution's encounter with the "space pirate" of the Azure Star Human Exchange Spacecraft.

Frankly speaking, it was able to carry eight rice grains in one go so generously, which made Ye Ming a little surprised.

It stands to reason that the dead friends are not dead channels, and the blue star people are in danger when they return, and they are in danger on the road less than half of the distance, and the human race can at most express concern and condolences about this matter, there is no need to make such a big fanfare, and even take out 1/3 of the sub-light missiles in the current inventory in one go to "support" - even if the latest reconnaissance ship "Tanxing" has the fastest spaceship speed of mankind at present, it will be a year after flying over, so the so-called support is more of a statement.

It wasn't until he received a briefing from Director Niu that he had started to implement the "Tinder Plan" and made him ready to provide sperm that he understood what the bigwigs were considering.

- Fleeing to the current location of the Blue Star is the established route of the Tinder Project.

Under this crisis of extinction, there is no mistake on the way to "escape".

It's no wonder that the bigwigs immediately became nervous when they heard that they had encountered space pirates over there, and they had to go over with the most advanced weapons for a walk.

Of course, the Tinder Project is only one of the final options to deal with the crisis, and the most important thing for mankind at present is to implement the plan of the "Virgo Civilization Alliance" according to the established goals.

For example, among the five spaceships that took off this time, except for two that went to the VSC-29 star field to meet the "Starter" reconnaissance ship of Hailin and others, the other three spacecraft were all heading for the Eyed Galaxy.

One of the manned spacecraft, the "Ask Star", carries some emissaries from the Khodo tribe, including Makita Reiji and Gumu, who will land as they pass through the blue galaxy to pay homage to their home planet and visit the human base. The other is the material ship "Sky Survey C", which carries various high-tech products sent by humans to Arime, which can be regarded as a cargo ship.

The end of the Moon and Sky Survey C is the Eye Galaxy, but the last "Star Finder" carrying four grains of rice will pass through the VSC-6 wormhole in the Eye System, and go to the path of the Executor's arrival, and meet the so-called Executor for a while.

"Thank you."

The earphones heard the grateful voice of the Uda Rites: "The old man is on the spaceship, right?" ”

"Well, just left." Ye Ming glanced back at the night sky, except for the stars, there was no hair: "Who is the enemy, have you figured it out?" ”

"We are still deciphering the communication method on the other side, and we don't know what the other party needs yet, the only thing that is certain is that the other party is currently only trapping Hailin and them, and sending electromagnetic wave signals, and has not launched an attack."

Ye Ming hummed softly, he knew that the spaceship that Hailin and the others returned on this time was actually not a simple "scientific expedition" spaceship, but also had a certain defensive ability - at least it had a main gun, and perhaps because of this, the other party only flew at close range at first, and did not directly attack.

"Who is the enemy, do you know?"

"I don't know, but it doesn't look like they're any of the civilizations our ancestors have ever encountered...... And even if it is, three or four thousand years have passed on that star path, and it is difficult for us to obtain more effective information. ”

"Indeed, you can't carve a boat for a sword." Ye Ming sighed softly: "Before I met you, human beings were still skeptical about the existence of extra-human civilizations...... Right now...... It can only be said that the universe is too big. ”

There was also a sigh from the other side: "Yes, the universe is too big." Civilizations like ours that can build effective communication...... Too little. ”

"Well, that's why we cherish our friendship with you so much." Ye Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled: "Wuda, our side will be able to resume the car teleportation immediately, and we will directly send you three sub-light missiles when the time comes." ”

"Thank you."

"It's useless to say thank you......"

“…… We have designed the encapsulation force field of the Slanzi substance. ”

Hearing that the other party was very good, a smile appeared on the corner of Ye Ming's mouth, and then he quickly walked into the elevator.

cut off the communication, and he contacted Zhou Xuchen, who was anxious on the earth.

I'm a student...... It seems that he really has a leg with that female Blue Star Scholar!

……

VSC-29 Star Field.

In human astronomical nomenclature, it is located in a small main-order galaxy in the Virgo Galaxy—of course, the Virgo Supercluster, which is a relatively peripheral galaxies.

The main-sequence star of VSC-29 is a star in its prime, named VSC-2901, which is similar in size to the human sun, with a mass equivalent to 0.8 suns.

It's just that compared to the "richness" of the solar system, the VSC-2901 star system is a bit barren.

In the entire main-sequence galaxy, only four planets accompany the parent star alone, and then there are circles of asteroid belts on the periphery, among which the largest asteroid can even maintain a sphere, which belongs to the type of dwarf planet.

At this time, above the planet of the fourth main-sequence star, a golden spaceship was slowly slowing down in space, and on its "side", about two hundred kilometers, three spacecraft were in a zigzag shape, and were flying together.

In the golden spaceship, more than a dozen Kra scholars gathered in the command module.

Hai Lin sat in front of the contact computer, her whole expression was extremely serious, and her beautiful big eyes stared at the constantly beating feedback results on the display screen.

"Helen, still haven't you deciphered it?" A middle-aged man's voice sounded calmly.

"Not yet."

"Is it because the computing power allocated by Aita is not enough?"

"No, the brain-computer center allocated us computing power as soon as possible." Hai Lin clenched her hands and took a soft breath: "We may need more information from the other side." ”

Hearing Hai Lin's words, the middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "If the other side can understand it, is it necessary to be so troublesome?" ”

Helen knew she had said something nonsense, so she smiled embarrassedly, and then continued to purse her lips and look intently at the screen.

A day ago, twenty-eight hours ago, to be exact, their ship had been quietly and "lonely" navigating this starfield, and they were about to slow down halfway to the next stargate.

Unexpectedly, three spaceships suddenly flew out of the meteorite belt, catching up with their own spacecraft at a very fast speed, sending information while accompanying the flight.

At first, everyone was optimistic that this was a civilization whose spacecraft would send a friendly communication signal after detecting their own ship. But before long, one of the opposite ships fired a shot.

That intense flash of light pierced the sky, grazing a kilometer of his spaceship into the vast universe.

So everyone knew that they had been warned.

However, warning is warning, who are these people...... What is the intention, is it looting or what? Or do you want to stop yourself?

Nothing is known.

Until now, they could only analyze the electromagnetic signals sent by the other party.

And according to the analysis of the day and night...... Neither Aita nor the Brain were able to find any clues of the civilization's signal in the database.

At present, it can only be determined that the other side must have some plot, but it is not known what the specific plot is and how to cooperate.

At this time, Aita's voice rang out: "Report, detected that enemy ship A has sent a small aircraft. ”

Hailin was slightly stunned, and immediately looked at the slightly larger screen above her head: "Enlarge the modeling." ”

The voice fell, and on the screen, a small spaceship similar to a landing craft was released on the edge of a battleship on the left side of the spaceship.

Is it going to board the ship on the other side?

"What is our speed now?"

"It has been degraded to 4.5 kilometers per second."

"When will the other party's small aircraft arrive?"

"Arriving in 30 seconds, 30 ...... 29…… 28……”

With Aita's countdown, all of them watched the small flying machine on the screen approach quickly, and even through the hanging window, they were already able to see the trajectory of its flight with the naked eye!

At this moment, a sudden picture flashed on the screen, and Helke's figure appeared on the monitor.

"Cologne, don't do anything to provoke each other, our ship with humans is already on its way."

……

Moon.

As soon as Ye Ming returned to the office on the front foot, General Qin rushed over on the back foot.

As an old acquaintance, General Qin didn't bother to say hello, and went straight to the point: "Mr. Ye, do you know how much rice we still have in stock?" ”

"Well, I don't know......" Ye Ming coughed lightly, and immediately understood General Qin's intentions, and laughed: "What? Are you reluctant? ”

"That thing was made to use, there's nothing reluctant to do, it's just ...... I heard that the time spent by the two deputy directors of the brain-computer center on the accelerator has changed from three days to twenty days? ”

"Hmm." Ye Ming nodded.

The so-called people are not as good as the sky, Zhou Xiangnan and Sheng Fei's queue insertion experiment was well arranged, but they suddenly encountered the fact that the spaceship of the blue star was stopped by the "space pirate", which made mankind nervous in an instant, and the originally planned reconnaissance ship became two, not to mention, and took eight grains of rice to find out.

In addition, the question star of the executor who went to meet for a while also brought four pieces, so the stock of rice grains on Taiyue's side was a little insufficient.

Ten more, to be exact.

"In one year's time, we're going to face the executors." General Qin looked at Ye Ming with a cautious expression: "Twenty days, according to the current process, it is already completely capable of producing two rice grains - this is already twenty percent of the current inventory." ”

"yes, I know." Ye Ming still smiled and nodded.

"That ......" General Qin's brows furrowed deeply: "When the time comes, in the face of the enemy, who dares to guarantee that every bullet will destroy an enemy?" ”

"It's ...... Is our ancestral firepower deficit syndrome? ”

“…… That's a folk rumor...... But we do have to take into account the strength of the enemy! General Qin said and sighed: "You must know that according to the general theory of war, war production and wartime control should have been carried out a long time ago, and all production and technology are in the service of war. ”

"But what about our entire human society? They danced and danced like that, and the horses ran like they. I...... Alas! ”

Ye Ming looked at General Qin's desire to speak and stopped, he knew that the other party must have really couldn't help it, so he came to talk to himself.

As the person in charge of Taiyue, Lao Qin should indeed stand in the position of the military.

Ye Ming slowly put away his smile, but after a few seconds of silence, he smiled again.

"Or else? We have worked hard for so long, isn't it just so that the people can run and dance? ”

"And taking a step back, two-dimensional batteries ...... Who's to say it's just for civilian use? ”

"If you think of it purely as an energy storage tool, it's certainly not as good as controlled nuclear fusion and our mature supercapacitors. But if it succeeds, it will not only bring earth-shaking changes to the civilian energy market - such as electric vehicles, drones, robots, etc., will completely get rid of the shackles of energy. ”

"Of course I do...... But ......"

"More importantly, it is the first step towards the two-dimensional nature of energy."

"Or in other words, it is the first step for our human civilization, as a three-dimensional space, to grab and constrain energy from low-dimensional space and two-dimensional space."

General Qin was silent and finally sighed.

"In fact, according to their experimental design, it can be completed in only three days." Ye Ming continued to look at the other party.

"Huh?"

"Because I added a plan later."

"What's the plan?"

"Two-dimensional solution for supercapacitors. Once they succeed, then we will be able to make our current supercapacitor technology two-dimensional according to its principle – and we will even be able to suppress the self-discharge of the capacitor. ”

"If realized, we can go from charging for one hour and firing for one millisecond to charging for 1,000 hours and firing for 1,000 milliseconds."

Ye Ming said and looked at the window on the right.

Outside the window, it happens to be the direction of the Giant Constellation, that is, the direction of the VCS-29 star field.

"The encounter with the Blue Star diplomatic reconnaissance ship made me realize that the instantaneous ability of the main gun is quite important."
