Yang Yuping talked about his work for himself: "The speed improvement of the curvature engine is progressing well. I can simulate a higher-level curvature engine, but it takes time to build it in the laboratory.
"Besides, I made some gadgets for myself, and embedded a coffee machine in my left arm. When you come back, I can ask you to try it."
In fact.
He has no human body and can no longer drink coffee.
"Okay, when I return to Earth, I will definitely go over and have a drink." Fang Yuan agreed with a smile.
When the two were talking.
More than a dozen people in the military research class hurried in.
"Professor, I know it will be successful. Doesn't it feel good now? If you think the current exoskeleton is not cool enough, I can lend you MEKA." Eve did not energize Yang Yuping's consciousness at all. Things feel uncomfortable.
In her opinion, this is better.
Because to some extent, Yang Yuping is now a robot.
"Okay. At that time, I will also install a solar stove. With a strong heart, there is no need to bridge." Yang Yuping smiled.
Lang Xiaonian pushed his glasses and stepped forward and said, "Professor, you are a research expert in space and wormholes. I have a suggestion. I don't know if I can mention it."
"Talk about it." Yang Yuping is still as approachable as before.
"That's it. When I was the navigator of the Dreadnought, I became more and more aware of the importance of the star map. Once, because of a hyperspace node that was not on our star map, the Intrepid was almost caught by a battleship of the Monoceros fleet. Catch up. Just a little bit..."
When Lang Xiaonian recounted this incident, he was still a little scared: "So, I think that the asymmetry of the star map information in the future will become a huge advantage of interstellar conflict.
"So, I suggest that scientific and technological research on wormhole exploration needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible."
Yang Yuping's laboratory has a research direction that is about space fissures.
Therefore, the scientific research to explore the wormhole? Naturally, it is most suitable to find Yang Yuping.
However, should a scientific research project be established? When is the project established? It needs to be coordinated.
Yang Yuping thought for a moment, and said: "This technology is really important? The importance of the star map is self-evident. I will discuss with the laboratory team. The technology of wormhole exploration? Not difficult? Technical indicators are mainly explored. In terms of scope, I believe there will be a breakthrough soon."
"Thank you, Professor." Lang Xiaonian was very happy when he got a pleasing answer.
"What is there to thank? Don't worry. However, the exploration of the star map? Need to be used with a curvature engine? Our superlight spacecraft is still under development, and I can't rush." Yang Yuping smiled.
The importance of the star map is just like the map in the cold weapon era.
Wormhole detection technology is indeed very critical.
...
On the 78th day of the return flight.
Suddenly an alarm sounded from the communication channel: "A super-light-speed spacecraft was found ahead, and all combatants are in a state of preparation..."
The siren repeated three times.
The first time is not over yet? Fang Yuan is already standing in front of the control screen of the Counterattack bridge.
"what happened?"
"The super-luminous spacecraft was found earlier." Ye Zheyu pointed to the big screen, which already showed an image of a space battleship.
Judging from the shape of the battleship? It is not in the shape of a triangular pyramid, and it is basically certain that it is not a spaceship of the Palestine civilization.
However? Even if it is not a spacecraft of the Palestine civilization, it is difficult to say whether it is dangerous.
Therefore? The fleet immediately entered a state of combat readiness.
Of course? Looking from the outside? No change can be seen, but all the combat personnel of the fleet have entered a state of combat readiness.
"Is this ship stopped?" Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes and observed the ship on the screen.
"It was still flying with curvature before. When we discovered it, it turned off the curvature engine and it was in normal flight at this time." Ye Zheyu replied.
"Will it be the ship of the Carbon-based Alliance?" Eve guessed.
"From the appearance, the similarity to Intrepid is very small, at least not belonging to the photosynthetic civilization." Han Youwei expressed her opinion while observing.
"What should I do now?" Eve asked back.
"Adjust the direction, keep a distance of 300,000 kilometers, and pass by the side. If the other party does not act dangerously, it will be regarded as passing by." Fang Yuan decided.
The fleet continued to fly forward.
A few minutes later, Zhao Anya said: "There is a communication signal connected, do you want to connect?"
"Come in." Fang Yuan signaled to connect to the communication.
If that ship requests communication, then the situation is relatively good.
Proactive communication is generally not too hostile.
After the communication came in, an image of a carbon-based organism appeared on the big screen.
This is a primate, with hands, feet and head, but its face is much different from humans, and it has three eyes.
This is a three-eyed creature and does not conform to human aesthetics.
"Hello, human civilization, we are from the carbon-based alliance." Three Eyes greeted actively.
"Hello." Fang Yuan calmly communicated with the other party.
Although the expression on his face was calm, Fang Yuan was happy in his heart.
In addition to the photosynthetic civilization, this is the second civilization in the carbon-based alliance that has been contacted.
Fang Yuan made a decisive decision and called the other party a three-eyed civilization.
Whether on the earth or in the universe, there is a competitive relationship that will change many things.
This is also why Fang Yuan is happy.
Before that, human beings could only come into contact with the civilizations in the carbon-based alliance of photosynthetic civilization.
That Piggs in the photosynthetic civilization said what he said, it is difficult to bargain with him.
Now it's different, and I have come into contact with the three-eyed civilization.
Invisibly, there was a competitive relationship between the photosynthetic civilization and the three-eye civilization.
Of course, for the higher civilizations of the two carbon-based alliances, human beings are still a very weak and low-level civilization and will not be valued by them.
However, since the other party took the initiative to find it, it shows that humans have contact value.
There was not much substantive content in this contact.
Mainly to establish communication, which is equivalent to handing a business card to each other.
"Although your civilization level is very low, you are already qualified to establish diplomatic relations." Three-eyed creature said such a sentence.
"What does the qualification for establishing diplomatic relations mean?" Fang Yuan frowned, somewhat puzzled.
"Star-killing ability. With this ability, you will have the qualifications to establish diplomatic relations with cosmic civilization." The three-eyed creature gave a positive answer.
Fang Yuan was a little surprised at this answer, but after listening to it, he suddenly took it for granted.
At any time, only if you have a hard fist, others will listen to you seriously.
This is true between countries, and it is also true between civilizations.
