Voyage of the Stars

"Yes, warp drive! Everyone here is qualified, so I won't hide it. The warp drive was disassembled from a small spacecraft that crashed on Callisto. We guessed its origin at the beginning. The level of technology has now been confirmed, and it has been confirmed that it is a creation of a fourth-level civilization, and the crashed spaceship of an unknown civilization should be a single-man ship of a fourth-level civilization." Yu Nanfeng nodded.

These words made Gu Younian's spirits soaring that he almost thought that the warp engine could be installed on the spacecraft.

In fact, his idea was not bad. When humans met the Awakener, they asked the Awakener to help crack the warp engine program, so this warp engine can indeed be used by humans.

But this warp engine is too small to drive a sea-class warship, and even if it can be driven, it can only use up those anti-matter energy packets. After that, humans will be unable to produce fuel.

Therefore, the warp engine is basically only used for scientific research and is not actually installed on the spacecraft.

Now that Yu Nanfeng took out the warp engine, it was naturally not for use. Instead, he should be talking about the interstellar trading market.

Sure enough, then I heard Yu Nanfeng say: "As the saying goes, money moves people's hearts. If the living planet is not enough to attract the attention of the interstellar trading market, we can show them the warp engine. I think, seeing us take out the warp engine Afterwards, if the interstellar trading market has the creations of a fourth-level civilization, they will definitely no longer hide and choke."

This is a good thing. If humans only claim to have information about living planets, the interstellar trading market may also wonder whether humans are using images of their home planet to deceive people, or whether they are fabricating synthetic images.

Even if humans show two living planets with different environments, they may be considered fake. However, the warp engine is different. It is a technological creation and cannot be faked like a living planet.

In other words, if the fake warp engine image is presented to a civilization that has actually seen the warp engine, it can be distinguished at a glance.

"This is good. In this way, it should be possible to find out whether the interstellar trading market really has the creation of a fourth-level civilization." Yue Yuan, who had been listening, nodded in affirmation.

Then he added: "Then how do you think we should go?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a standing committee member said: "We definitely can't go with all the ships. That would be too dangerous. After all, we are not really doing business. But put the residential spacecraft and all kinds of ships here, and let the fleet If you go alone, you will be too far away from the cluster of residential spaceships. If there is an accident, the fleet will not be able to rush to the rescue in time."

"Then I think one fleet can be left to guard the main body of civilization, and the remaining two fleets can go to the star system where the interstellar trading market is located." Another committee member suggested.

After hearing this, Bu Guiyu rushed to say: "If this is the case, our third fleet must go to the interstellar trading market."

After finishing speaking, he found that Manyuemei beside him was still sitting there with the look of an old god at ease, without any intention of fighting.

After hundreds of years of hibernation, humanity's existing warships have expanded from 10 million to 17 million under the continuous work of strong artificial intelligence. The number of flagships with human personnel has also been expanded, but the commander of the large fleet But there were still only three people.

Oh, to be exact, there are two, one is Man Yuemei, the other is Bu Guiyu, and so is Yue Yuan, but he is special, so he is considered the commander-in-chief.

All military appointment and dismissal powers are in the hands of Yue Yuan, so he is different.

Man Yuemei knows this very well, so when it comes to military mobilization or military issues, as long as Yue Yuan is present, Man Yuemei will not act like Guiyu at the same time.

Because she knew it was useless. This was what she had learned from spending many years together with Yue Yuan. Military issues were ultimately decided by Yue Yuan.

Sure enough, the next moment, she saw Yue Yuan's eyes moving towards Bu Guiyu, and then said with a hint of scolding: "Commander Bu, do you think the military command system of our human civilization is still the cold weapon era thousands of years ago? Before setting out for the expedition, the general asked him to be the vanguard?"

"It's because I'm not thinking carefully, so what should I do in Commander Yue's opinion?" Bu Guiyu was a bit more straightforward, but he wasn't stupid, otherwise he wouldn't be favored by Yue Yuan.

"Both go!"

Yue Yuan spat out two words, then raised his fingers and tapped the conference table a few times, and then said: "Not only the fleet is going, but also residential spacecraft, scientific research spacecraft and other types are going, but not all of them will enter the interstellar trading market together. The star system in which it is located.”

After a pause, Yue Yuan touched his chin and spoke again: "Based on the current situation, the star system where the Kuntai fleet is located should be safe, and it is not too far from the interstellar trading market, only thirty or so. Light years. When the large fleet goes to the interstellar trading market, in addition to the warships, other ships can dock in that galaxy first and conduct resource extraction there as our rear area.

The first, second, and third battleship clusters formed a front and rear echelon to enter the interstellar trading market. At the same time, the last-tier battleship group also has to take care of exploring the interstellar pirates in that star field and strive to find their lair. "

As for the fact that interstellar pirates and interstellar trading markets are the same civilization, humans still have no definite evidence, so of course we still have to look for it.

But the search is not really to find evidence and then use it to reason with the interstellar trading market, but to know the details of the interstellar trading market and interstellar pirates so that humans can make a good layout.

The so-called interstellar pirates must also have a star stronghold, and it is in that star field, otherwise they would not have appeared in front of the Kobold fleet so precisely.

At this time, one of the standing committee members who heard Yue Yuan's arrangements asked worriedly: "Commander Yue, aren't there some warships left to guard the main body of our civilization?"

"No need!" Yue Yuan did not pretend to be sophisticated, and directly explained the reason to him: "During our early negotiations with the interstellar trading market, the main civilization can completely produce another batch of warships, and then put in a strong military-oriented artificial intelligence Intelligent control is enough, and there is no big problem with protecting the power."

With strong artificial intelligence, humanity can survive new warships at all times. Just like during the Great Hibernation, humanity's warships have been growing, as long as there are enough resources.

"Shuai Yue is a wise man," said the standing committee member.

"Yes!" Yue Yuan was not pretentious and nodded directly: "If there are no other opinions, this matter has been settled. But what we are talking about now is only a general action framework, and there are many emergency prevention measures. This requires you Improve it again.”

"Understood, Commander Yue!"

"Commander Yue, don't worry."

"The high command is good at this!"

As voices of approval rang out in the venue, a decision that determined the future direction of mankind was born here.

Soon after, this fleet, which had been frozen for hundreds of years, woke up again and embarked on the road to the stars.

As the order was issued, the robots that were still mining resources on the surface of the planet also returned to the transport ship, and then escaped the gravity of the planet and returned to the grand fleet.

The space docks that were in full swing manufacturing warships also stopped busy, and then flexible mechanical arms stretched out from inside to fix the unfinished warships. Then, the entire space dock began to undergo mechanical changes, revealing a set of huge magnetic thrust devices.

Humanity is about to set sail again. As a wandering civilization, everything will follow the main civilization on its journey to the stars.

This is not the first time that humans have embarked on the journey to the stars, but compared to the past, the appearance of setting sail this time is very different, and there is no trace of a second-level civilization at all.

All types of warships have doubled in size, with more than 17 million sea-class warships, plus other types of warships, totaling more than 20 million. How majestic it would be if such a huge fleet erupted with tail flames at the same time.

Unfortunately, by the third level of civilization, human warships can no longer see any light from the tail flames. Instead, they are more like a group of ghosts floating into the starry sky.
