The world enters the age of mythology.

In particular, the frozen bullets provided by Hope have a good production capacity and are much simpler to produce than rune bullets, so they will be the mainstream choice in the future.

"...The above is what we have achieved in recent times! We should be proud of it!"

Ding Yuan gave a rough report on the progress, big and small, and it took almost two hours, his mouth was dry.

He couldn't help but paused, picked up the cup, and took a sip of water.

clap clap clap!

There was a loud applause in the meeting room.

Yes, these achievements are indeed something to be proud of!

If we can advance by leaps and bounds like this every few months, it won't be long before human beings will be able to overcome most of the disasters...and become a real interstellar civilization, right?

Of course, it's impossible to make leaps and bounds every month.The current progress is based on the dividends brought about by the integration of science and technology, and on the untapped heritage. If these dividends are exhausted, the speed of people's progress will definitely slow down.

"It would be great if we could meet other refuges, and it would bring a new wave of technological dividends. They must also have new opportunities."

"Who says it's not... It's just a pity, the chance is very small."

Lu Yiming also said with a smile: "If we meet compatriots again, the merger should not be as troublesome as it is now."

"Isn't it? We are stronger now, stronger than before... I'm not bragging, even if we meet the former headquarters, we're not in vain, we still annex them! Sigh, I don't know how they are living. .”

Next, after Ding Yuan and the others finished their discussion, he solemnly said: "Everyone, everyone, please be quiet, it's not time to relax... You must know clearly that we don't have much time in the future, three After a month, we will have the night."

"Everyone knows what the dark night means. Our military strength has been greatly improved, but we can't bear those monsters to death. It's better to find a new continent and settle down."

According to the current theoretical system, the night of Yanghe is equivalent to a closeness between the materialistic universe and the idealistic universe.The fusion of the two universes oscillates back and forth, and the cycle of coming and going is almost two years.

So, the closer the idealistic universe is to Yanghe, the higher the risk of encountering powerful monsters.

Chapter 479 A New Fleet

The work of finding a new continent has been going on, but unfortunately, the situation is not optimistic.

Lu Yiming has never received any notification from the military, and he also talked with relevant experts from the investigation brigade in his spare time.

That is, there is no good news.

After so many months, the drones have been flying in the sky every day, but they still haven’t found a new continent. It can’t help but make people imagine. Could it be possible that this sea area can’t be completed without a new continent?

But it should be. In theory, after space transfer, the probability of encountering a new continent is still very high. Could it be that the theory is wrong?

Or it is in a very distant place... This distance exceeds the detection limit of human beings.

Faced with people's questions, a corresponding investigation expert reported his work: "In this sea area, due to the particularity of the geology, there is a strong magnetic field in a certain direction."

"These magnetic fields will obviously interfere with the normal operation of drones. In the past three months, we have lost 4 military drones. The distance explored is only [-] kilometers, not even [-] kilometers." To the point."

"Obviously, this distance is not enough..."

"So I think it's not that the New World doesn't exist, but that we haven't found it yet. We think that the New World probably exists in the direction of the distribution of the strong magnetic field... It's likely that some kind of supernatural phenomenon that erupted in the New World triggered this strong magnetic field .”

"These drones were affected by the magnetic field, lost their signal, fell into the sea, and never flew back."

Listening to his description, the meeting room gradually became quiet.

There is no global positioning system on Yanghe. After losing the signal, the drone is indeed easy to lose contact.

Losing four drones in a row, the reconnaissance team was shattered and heartbroken to death.

With the increase in production capacity of Kunlun Mountain, drones can now be manufactured in small batches, but the production capacity is still quite low.

The funds given to them are quite limited, and one can be replenished every month, so they can be lost at will.

Therefore, the detection situation has not been satisfactory.

The expert continued: "We have released some scout balloons. The cost of hot air balloons is relatively low, and it is not a big problem if they are lost. As a result, due to the influence of distant airflow, these balloons all flew in one direction... It is still very difficult. Investigate the direction that is full of magnetic fields."

"Moreover, the flying speed of the balloon is too slow, affected by the magnetic field, the transmission of long-distance signals is relatively difficult, so it is difficult to detect places thousands of kilometers away on a large scale."

"However, according to calculations, there is indeed a relatively high probability that there is a new continent in the opposite direction of the airflow. The probability of success is at least 70%... But it is unknown how far it is from us."

There will be some subtle differences between the temperature in the New Continent and the temperature above the Yanghe River. With the difference in cold and heat, it is easy to form long-term airflow.

Lu Yiming couldn't help frowning, and raised his hand to ask: "Is there a 70% probability that there is a new continent? It's really not low. So what do you mean... Humans must fly the plane to search for the magnetic field area that may have a new continent? "

"I'm afraid...it's true. Human pilots can deal with various complicated situations."

"This work must be done as soon as possible."

The time left for people is only three months, and the mobility of the shelter is not enough. Calculated at 8 kilometers per hour, they can only move 3 kilometers in three months.

This number sounds quite large, but compared to the vast Yanghe, I don’t know how many large territories, it’s just a small number that can’t be smaller. arrived.

There was a sound of discussion in the conference room, and people quickly reached a resolution.

"There is a 70% chance of discovering the New World. I think I can take a risk." It was Colonel Dai Lun who spoke, "Our current anti-gravity aircraft has matured a lot and has been improved many times. The pilots also have more experience in flight testing. , as long as you don’t encounter space tidal phenomena, the risk is not too great.”

"Flying at high altitude, within three hours, you can explore an area of ​​[-] to [-] kilometers in a straight line."

"Everyone, space tides can also be predicted." Professor Liu Qingshan, who is in charge of this area, said: "The recent Yinworld corridor has been relatively stable, and we can predict it to a certain extent. to one ten thousandth."

"The signal radar of Kunlun Mountain will also be activated in all directions, striving to guide the plane with the maximum power!"

Several other experts said: "Let our team implement the corresponding electromagnetic field protection measures. We can use some means to avoid magnetic field interference as much as possible."

Ding Yuan also nodded: "According to your opinions, you can send pilots to explore. However, don't be too reluctant. Anyway, we have already explored other directions, and the refuge can only operate in that direction."

"During the flight, we encountered danger and returned in time. We still have more than two months. Although it is not enough, it is not too short. So there is no need to force it, so that the plane crashes and people die."

"Yes."

"Oh, by the way, everyone. There is one more thing to consider." Lu Yiming added: "In that unknown continent, the possible disaster is the electromagnetic field or similar disasters. Should we plan ahead for our refuge?" Some preparations?"

"If you arrive in the New World and find that all the electronic equipment can't be used, it will be miserable. It's good to prepare early."

Aiming at this problem, everyone conducted a detailed discussion.

In fact, there are quite a few ways to prevent electromagnetic waves, such as anti-radiation coatings, or Faraday cages, etc., and cement that is thick enough can also prevent radiation.It's just that the amount of work is relatively large, and if you want to defend the entire shelter, you have to allocate a sum of money.

Although the current industrial capacity has been greatly improved, it still seems stretched in the face of so many important projects.

"Then...do some preliminary work first. After the investigation results come out, we will allocate more funds to deal with this matter." Ding Yuan finally said.

After such discussions, the exploration working group for anti-gravity aircraft was formally established. .

There is no shortage of real warriors among contemporary soldiers. Every soldier is precious, not only because life is precious, but because he represents the true courage and glory of mankind.

There is a 70% probability of discovering the New World. Even if there is a high probability of disasters in the "New World", people are still eager to overcome the difficulties above and settle and multiply in the New World.

Yes, to rebuild a new civilization without worrying about the Yang River... Isn't this the dream of most people?

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Captain Li Yao of the investigation brigade issued a military order.

The soldiers acted very fast. Immediately after the meeting, several teams completed a series of electromagnetic field protection measures against the aircraft.

At six o'clock in the morning of the third day, taking advantage of the clear weather, three anti-gravity planes set sail from the deck of the Kunlun Mountain and flew to the far southeast...

The sound of "rumbling" was loud, even if it flew far away, these sounds still echoed in the sky of Yanghe, echoing...

This is not good for supersonic aircraft. The noise is too loud when flying, and there is no way to conceal their existence.

The so-called stealth aircraft refers to aircraft that cannot be detected by radar. It is not optical stealth. It can still be seen with the naked eye and heard through sound.

Of course, during the investigation, you can also fly at high altitude and low speed, so that the noise will not be too obvious.

"I hope they come back safely." Lu Yiming stared silently at the departing plane for a long time.

Six hours passed quickly...

In the midst of anxious discussions, these planes returned successfully.

The New World was not found for a while, but the scouts brought back a surprising piece of news...

One of the planes, spotted a new fleet!

Another civilization is found ahead!

"What...what?" The investigation captain Li Yao was the first to hear the news, and he was also stunned for a second or two.After a long time, he blushed and asked loudly, "Another refuge?!"

real or fake?

Lu Yiming who was standing aside was also shocked.

The pilot hurriedly said: "No, it's not. It's different from what you imagined... It's not a modern refuge, but an ancient fleet! There are 15 large sailing ships in total, and each sailing ship has a tonnage of one or two thousand tons. They It seems to be settled on a small island... The camera captured the human beings above the island, it should be human beings. At an altitude of [-] meters, it is difficult for the naked eye to really distinguish, but the camera captured the traces of these human beings."

"The area of ​​this small island is not very large, only 400 hectares... 4 square kilometers. I read correctly, it is indeed a small island! A small island in the Yang River!"

The scout was flushed and excited.

"It's not another refuge..." Lu Yiming sighed, feeling a little lost.

But soon, he became curious again.

Although this matter is very strange, the water depth of Yanghe River has always been around 3000 meters, even if it is a little shallower, the depth is 1000 meters, but now a small island suddenly came... It seems a bit strange.

"A shallow water area? It can't be a man-made island, right?"

"It doesn't look like that. The project volume of 400 hectares is really too big. It is not possible for ancient civilizations to complete." Sitting on a chair, Li Yao magnified the image taken by the plane by 10 times. Yanghe demarcation line.

As for the human beings photographed, they are very blurry. Judging from their appearance, they seem to be cultivating farmland on... a small island?farming?

That's right, the water in the Yang River is only slightly saltier than fresh water, so there is no problem of lack of fresh water, and there is no problem at all with using the water of the Yang River to farm.

Chapter 480 Ancient Civilization

Professor Huang, who was standing aside, suddenly had a guess in his mind: "Could it be that the shallow water area in the Yang River can also form a continent? Staying on a small island can also avoid the danger at night?"

This is beyond the scope of human experience...

"They should have found our plane, right?" Shi Dayong touched his chin and said.

Lu Yiming said: "Not necessarily, our planes are all flying at high altitude and low speed, and the noise they make is hard for ordinary people to hear."

The flying altitude of the anti-gravity aircraft is 2 meters, and this distance is difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the other party has special investigative methods.

"Even if they detect it, they may mistake it for some special creatures. There may occasionally be some mutated lifeforms appearing above the Yang River."

People once encountered a super-large bird with a body length of 1 kilometer.The two sides meet at a distance, and are far away from each other. Well water does not interfere with river water.

I also encountered a large group of fish with the body length of a whale, and harvested a lot of delicious fish eggs.Scientists have even bred this fish, but unfortunately, their growth rate is not as fast as expected.

Lu Yiming thought of another question: "If there is a shallow water area, our shelter will run a risk of running aground, right?"

If the water depth is less than 300 meters, the chassis of the shelter may hit the submarine continental shelf, which is indeed worth guarding against.

"But no matter what, it's still worth investigating? This phenomenon is too abnormal..." Professor Huang said excitedly: "No matter what, they are a civilization. Maybe we can trade? Yes, trading information, Trading items are all good choices!"

"It does make sense." Lu Yiming also nodded cautiously. He also wanted to get in touch with unknown civilizations and obtain more information.

Maybe these ancient civilizations picked up the garbage of advanced civilizations?

Even if ancient civilizations picked up advanced technology, they couldn't use it, so they had to sell it cheaply?

Maybe they know more knowledge?

And...the other party is also heading in the direction of the New World, maybe, probably...what do they know?

As long as you're careful, you should be fine.

Especially at present, when the strength of the refuge has skyrocketed again.

Li Yao asked again: "Apart from this ancient fleet, what else did you find?"

The pilot quickly said: "After the plane passed the small island, it continued to sail forward for more than 1000 kilometers, about [-] kilometers away from the shelter. The instrument suddenly sensed an extremely strong magnetic field. The magnetic field strength exceeded the safety limit. An electric current formed on the surface of the plane."

"I had to turn back because I was afraid the plane would lose control."

When metal cuts the magnetic induction line, electric current will be generated, which is the physics knowledge of junior high school.

It is naturally extremely dangerous to generate electric current on the surface of the aircraft, and it is easy to suffer from lightning strikes, and even static fires may occur.

The other two pilots also said: "Yes, the closer you get to that direction, the stronger the magnetic field, and there are also large dark clouds in the sky. I don't know what is there..."

"Is that so..." Li Yao thought for a while, then nodded slowly: "It's a very safe choice. The investigation this time is very good. Go down and rest first."
