too late, organism

You calculators, don't think you can lie to me because I don't read enough!

Do you dare to say something like breaking through space?

Damn Hippie!After a star collapses and undergoes a supernova explosion, and after it collapses all the way and increases its density crazily, the gravitational well formed into which even light slips and falls into is a black hole. How much mass and energy is required to do this, you guys These boys don't have a clue?

Such a large energy pioneer creates a galaxy, and then stuffing that galaxy into a bottle is enough, and it is only used to move a starship when it is full.

Don't their pioneers pay attention to cost performance?Really strange!

If you want to cheat the budget, at least make up a more reliable reason, such as quantum mechanics or something.

However, after the conjecture was dismissed by F with the words "shit doesn't make sense", within 3 minutes, F was blocked in the office by a group of furious neurotics.

Finally, F with a neck, under the bombardment of tons of academic names by the neuroboys, and under the threat of hanging him on the street lamp, F had to admit that the neuroboys' conjecture made sense.

After all, the wormhole station, which is an alien technology more than 2 years ago, is strong enough.

It's like more than a year ago, the Warmaster drove the frigate and sang songs, planning to change into a great alien warship.

It turned out that the four destroyers lying in the dock did not want the Warmaster to change clothes, and threw a dust cover at the Warmaster.

The sky-blue shield blocked all the sailors who tried to board the ship from the light curtain. Even if the technical boys ordered the order to lower the shield [-] times on the four warships in the port office, another [-] times were updated. Checked the boarding list, but failed to solve the problem.

In the end, I temporarily recruited a group of neurotics and technical boys who were fighting against the wormhole station. After two weeks of thinking, I came to the conclusion that this blue light curtain is equivalent to the existence of dust covers on the four battleships. , Unless the naval guns directly bombard them, with the current technology, they have nothing to do with this dust cover.

His sanity is still there, unlike some reckless novice captains, the warmaster Lao Qian who fired the main guns of the battleship in the space station angrily led a group of sailors to surround the governor's mansion to ask for the navy's budget.

It's hard to say whether Lao Qian's anger was blocked by the dust cover, or that his budget was cut in half because of these four unusable boats, or a combination of both.

But Mao Che, who smelled the scent of extra budget, was very excited, and wrote the project of cracking the shield of the ancient battleship into the scientific research budget for the next year, and successfully tricked... into applying for the budget.

After receiving the conjecture put forward by the Academy of Physical Sciences, the thoughtful technical boys of the Academy of Engineering also quickly proposed a test plan for the wormhole station.

Although according to the "Hand Dispatcher's Handbook", the wormhole station needs to be used with the wormhole navigation device on the starship, but it is impossible to board the ship with five ships. Let's see what the so-called wormhole navigation device is. In the case of gadgets.

You can only start the wormhole station directly, create a wormhole at random, and then throw more than 800 probes that have been produced day and night for more than a year, and you're done.

After throwing away the [-] probes, we can almost sum up the opening rules of the wormhole station. At that time, the scientific research ship [Abyss], which has already been moored at the Quarter Power Dock, will come in handy.

As for dismantling the wormhole generating station floating in the orbit of stars to understand the principle, I dare not even think about it.

The thing looks good from the outside, the energy response is normal, and there is no problem with the connection to the port workstation. It looks like it can still be used.

At this time, if it is dismantled, if the reverse engineering is really successful, it’s okay to say, if it can’t be reassembled after dismantling, from the sweeping robot of the Engineering Institute to the Dajiba cat car, everything has to be hung on the southeast branch.

When Maoche and F arrived at the Kuat Power Dock with almost half of the technical boys and neurotic boys from the Faculty of Engineering and Physics, and were about to start throwing probes into the wormhole.

Mr. Ma is experiencing the scariest moment in his life. Half a month ago, when he jumped into a galaxy as usual and started to explore planets, a ship about the size of Mr. Ma's [Hong Kong Reporter] The alien spacecraft also jumped into the same galaxy.

Based on the principle of friendly contact, Mr. Ma let the lights of the scientific research ship flash randomly at the alien spaceship opposite, and the "Dictionary of the Holy Roman Empire" compiled according to mathematical laws was also randomly sent on the communication channel.

But that alien spaceship jumped out of the galaxy with a swish like a cat seeing a cucumber, almost making Mr. Ma think that the laser cannon instead of the indicator light was installed on his scientific research ship.

But a few days later, when the alien spacecraft that jumped away before jumped back to this galaxy with a fleet composed of one 400-meter-level and two 200-meter-level warships.

Mr. Ma, who was pointed at by the alien warship's gun, couldn't help but think of the little girl in the kindergarten who would run out of the classroom crying and come back with her cousins ​​after being bullied.

"The problem is that I didn't do anything."

Mr. Ma, who ordered the scientific research ship to flash its lights frantically to show that he was harmless, and let the hyperspace engine start to warm up, ready to run at any time, felt that his processor was not enough.

Stupid new routine, please collect, please recommend

Section 7 7 Open the door!free trade!

The group leader sits on his steel throne in the depths of the bunker, fulfilling the duties of the emperor of the empire, deploying the computing power of the empire's central processing unit, suppressing the sand sculpture group members who are involved in daily troubles, and leading the empire forward with the highest authority of the empire , very fortunately, can be called a dedicated pioneer.

And I was alone in the depths of the bunker, not only was there no female secretary, not even a dog, even the nearest personal guard was 300 meters away from me, and there were two explosion-proof doors.

So during the break, it is normal to criticize the ninth art created by the creators before they were assimilated.

After all, it is the elegant government of the new dynasty to rule by the arch, and it is the bad rule of the previous dynasty to do everything by yourself.

My Holy Roman Empire technocrats are number one in the Galaxy!

Therefore, it is normal to criticize the bad practices of the previous government for 24 hours in 23 hours a day.

Absolutely not relying on the Gestalt thinking format, there will not be imperial patriots who hold high the banner of "the kingly way is restored, the great government will be returned" or "Heaven punishes the country's thieves, respect the emperor and punish traitors!" Come play games.

Just when the group owner's daily "devotion" reached a critical moment, when he was about to have an in-depth exchange with a girl in need of financial assistance, Mr. Ma suddenly sent a remote communication request asking "zaima?", which made him very angry.

"Not here! Get out!"

Although I really want to say this, as the head of the empire, I can't play games and lose my country.

If you do this, it will be dug up by archaeologists in the future, and it will be written into the textbooks as a negative example. Even the portraits will be drawn by students who are unhappy because there are more test points to memorize. Some weird things, So just be an ordinary leader yourself.

With this in mind, the group leader, who is the first citizen of the Holy Roman Empire, switched from the game to the communication page.

"RUA! I'll give you ten seconds to explain why you're here!"

[The alien fleet is right next to me, pointing at me with a naval gun the size of a casserole to communicate with the head of the empire, I will take it for you now! 】

After Mr. Ma finished speaking at the fastest speed, before the group owner could react, a logo that looked like a famous umbrella company appeared on the screen, except that there was a golden isosceles triangle in the middle. There are three vertical lines that look like an abstract squid logo symbol.

Hey, hey... You connected me to the communication of aliens so suddenly, aren't you afraid that aliens are the kind of people who can hypnotize and go idealistic?Even if it's not you, you still have to give me some time, gather my invincible technocratic team to prepare a few filings, and contact again!

This horse is unreliable, and the next time I come back, I will send him to the archaeological team to dig sand. It happened that the two galaxies other than the star system where the star ring was located also took the colony ship down.

The local colonists seem to have found relics left by alien civilizations on the planet, so they asked Mr. Ma to dig, and don't come back if they can't dig out the alien artifacts!

[On behalf of the United Group of Chinnors, the undisputed ruler—Chairman Chirp Donald, send greetings, respect our territory and refrain from interfering in our affairs, perhaps we will consider letting our invincible fleet bypass you world】

While the group leader made up his mind to ask Mr. Ma to dig the sand, a piece of smooth purple skin with soft tentacles on the part where the mouth should be, looks like a huge octopus lying on a piece of paper. The man in the power armor appeared on the screen.

"All soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire salute you."

The group owner used his greatest perseverance to restrain himself from waving his mechanical tentacles at the octopus heads in the video, and then shouted "Join us." Let the octopus heads of the Zinol United Group give up their weak flesh and blood, and create a tentacle force Great unity.

Instead, he chose a relatively normal response. After all, it was the Roman Empire, and there was nothing wrong with responding in a militaristic manner.

[Now let's talk about the open door and free trade. 】

After hearing the group leader's response, the octopus head of the Zinor Group stared at the group leader on the other side of the screen with its red eyes and said.

twelve hours later

In the virtual conference room, including Mr. Ma, who wore a conical hat with "I'm Guilty" on his head, an "Enemy of the People" sign on his neck, and was hung on the bridge of the exploration ship by an optical cable, all the travelers They all stared at the star map in the center of the conference room.

The atmosphere in the meeting room is like a bunker in Berlin in 1945.

[Let’s talk about it, everyone has any ideas. 】

The group leader's crystal head didn't emit any light, just like a broken light bulb drooping feebly on its pile of tentacles.

On the star map, the Holy Roman Empire is located at the end of the third spiral arm of the Milky Way, occupying only five star systems, and at a distance of only four star systems from the Holy Roman Empire, the Zenor Group is like an eight star system. Like claw fish, it firmly controls all the waterways leading to Yinxinde.

And this neighbor, who has already controlled fifteen star systems and whose territory is three times larger than the Holy Roman Empire, is not a friendly existence.

In the meeting twelve hours ago, the proposed open door and free trade almost made the group owner’s PTSD attack on the spot.

If I didn’t know that I only have four small sampan-like frigates in my hands, the remaining SSR-level destroyers and cruisers found out from investigating the abnormal events of alien planets are all uninterested in fighting, and fishing is suitable for me. , Either huddled in the port as a figure or lay on the star ring to bask in the sun.

The group owner wanted to reject the trade on the spot and then closed the border and hit the octopus' head and face. This kind of greedy tentacles will not bring smiles to everyone!

But after exchanging star charts, being able to bend and stretch is the emperor's virtue.

Isn't it just trade?Send us your product list.

Unhappily agreed that in two weeks, the Holy Roman Empire will send a delegation to hold ministerial-level talks with the Zinol Group within the Zinol United Group.

The group owner quickly convened a meeting, and by the way, directly used the highest authority of the Holy Roman Empire to ask the security team on Mr. Ma's [Hong Kong Reporter] to put a hat on Mr. Ma in the bridge, hang a sign and hang it up.

This time, if the other side is the kind of top hacker who can hack into the server with a toothpick, Rome will perish again, you know!

[We should occupy the Betel Alpha galaxy before the Zenor Group, which is the only hyperspace channel node in the star field where we and the Zenor Group are located, and then we will build a fortress there. 】

Qian Dui, who is the commander of the empire, pointed to a point on the star map and said.

[Don't get electricity!Mod mine!Mod alloy! 】

Cotton once again released its budget sheet.

[The colony construction on the star ring, as well as the construction of space facilities in three galaxies, as well as the second-phase expansion of the Cybertron space station, and the cracking project of the wormhole station, have already emptied the last dime of the Governor's Mansion, if not We are a magical Gestalt thinking format where the fruits of labor are distributed according to needs, and the people can't afford it, so I want to sell bonds. 】

[If we don't occupy the Betel Alpha galaxy, our defense line will be very long, and they will have three routes to jump into the mainland, which is very dangerous.Our fleet is not enough to maintain such a large patrol line. To be honest, a fleet of four frigates is already very reluctant for the current territory. 】

Qian Dui pointed to the three hyperspace channels on the star map and said.

[Then shrink the defense line back, and use the North Cape δ galaxy that is now occupied as the front line. Anyway, this is also the node where the hyperspace channel converges. If you get stuck here, you can effectively shrink the defense line. 】

Cotton zoomed in on the star map and pointed to a galaxy on the border of the Holy Roman Empire. That galaxy is the only node that the Holy Roman Empire now leads to the direction of the center of the galaxy.

At the same time, the purple rock sign in the galaxy also shows that there is an important strategic material in this galaxy - Beserian stone, a mineral that can be used to generate huge amounts of energy.

[It is easy to give up unoccupied galaxies, but if you want to get them back, the price will be very high.Besides, if we don't move forward, there will only be six unoccupied galaxies around us, and we can't surpass the Zenol Group in terms of volume. 】

Great God magnified the star field controlled by the hyperspace channel node stuck by the Holy Roman Empire on the star map. It looks like a bag of apples in a sackcloth bag on the star map, and the North Point Delta Galaxy is the sealed The rope that holds the pocket.

[It depends on when the School of Physics and the School of Engineering will crack the wormhole station technology.At present, the additional special budget alone is enough to rebuild two frigates. When will you be able to produce results? 】

"It's coming soon... After throwing away the [-] sets of probes, it will definitely produce results. Scientific research is like drawing cards. You know, there is no guaranteed drawing card. It is normal to sink ten times in a row. Draw more It will come out a few times."

[There is no time to wait for you to draw a card. 】

The group owner released the holographic projections of two warships in the meeting room, a small sampan still from the Holy Roman Empire, with a total length of 200m, equipped with a small mass projector and two small laser launchers for the Planetary Defense Force class frigate.

Of course, the Sand Sculpture Group friends are more used to calling him PDF class or cannon fodder class. One is more convenient to call, and the other is more in line with the positioning of these frigates, if they can make those more advanced warships move.

The other is twice as large as the PDF class, with a length of about 370 meters, and an alien warship with five turrets neatly arranged on the central axis of the battleship.

[This is the main battleship of the Zinol Group observed by Mr. Ma. It is obvious that their technology is superior to ours. They already have mature destroyers in service and have a wider territory.We don't have more time to analyze the alien technology that we don't know if it will be useful. 】

The group leader's crystal head began to flash again.

[We need better reactors, stronger shields, stronger armor, and stronger firepower!Of course, the most important thing is to increase our industrial production capacity, more ore, and more energy!If within three months, you still can't put that thing into practical use, then suspend this project and do something useful, such as researching mining and armor or something. 】

"Try my best... I will try my best..."

Maoche pondered for a while. Anyway, the budget is sufficient, so he might as well try throwing two more probes into the overloaded wormhole station at a time to see if it can speed up the progress of the project.

This is a wormhole station. It might be a ghost thing that creates a black hole. With this.

The Holy Roman Empire can remove the word holy!Becoming a serious Roman Empire, the place where the delivery capability of the wormhole station can radiate is the frontier of the empire.

Just like the place that the Roman road can lead to, it is the territory of the empire.

The owner of the sand sculpture group knows a hammer Rome!This broken country is indeed worthy of its name, it is neither holy, nor an empire, nor is it Rome!

You have to be a master of technology to teach you what Rome is.

But before that, there are two small problems to be solved.

First, how to make this thing create a stable and controllable wormhole.

Second, how to create an army that can beat the surrounding barbarians with its feet, just like the Roman legion.

Chapter 8 8 Distant Stars

[The wormhole station is running well, ready, request instructions. 】

Cat Che sat on the command seat above the captain's seat on the [Abyss] bridge, staring nervously at the holographic projection in the bridge.

The negotiations with the Zenol Group two months ago were very unsuccessful. To be precise, it was impossible to reach a consensus at all.

The Zinor Group wants the Holy Roman Empire to open its doors and conduct free trade, not to mention that the "open door" and "free trade" alone have inspired PTSD (post-traumatic stress obstacle).

Just in

Under Gestalt thinking, it is basically the Holy Roman Empire in the advanced stage of socialism, and it cannot be compared with the Zenoer enterprise group that has penetrated into the bone marrow of capitalism and the entire country is a corporate government.

So after closing the borders to each other, an iron curtain that lasted several light years has been lowered on the border between the two countries.

[The Abyss is in good shape and is ready, requesting instructions. 】

Fortunately, although the cracking of the principle of the wormhole station is still a black box, it is like you can teach gorillas and primitive people to control light bulbs through switches.

Even if they don't know anything about why the light glows, that doesn't stop them from using it by pulling on a cord or pressing a button.
