Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 898 Send You a Ride

Moreover, with the current productivity of mankind, it is entirely possible to build other star-class battleships while starting the construction of a new flagship.

As for the start time, we have to wait until other technologies are mature. Things like real shields and tachyon weapons will definitely be standard configurations.

However, the development of technology is always full of contingencies. The technology that humans want to realize as soon as possible has not been realized, while other technologies that were not originally considered as the focus of development have appeared first.

For example, repulsion field technology.

Originally, it was just one of the branches of force field research under the framework of the theory of everything, but unexpectedly, humans figured it out first. It was discovered while studying the process of mutual repulsion between negative matter and matter.

The emergence of this technology allows humanity's new warships to float directly in the planetary environment as if they were anti-gravity.

If a spacecraft equipped with this technology is traveling in a planetary environment, it will behave like it has an anti-gravity device and can use the repulsive field to fly freely in the planetary environment without the assistance of any tail nozzle device.

If you look at this technology from the perspective of gravity, it is actually the anti-gravity technology that often appears in science fiction movies.

Yes, anti-gravity technology emerged naturally. As a derivative technology, humans did not even deliberately study it.

This technology sounds very advanced, but it is just that for humans today, because even if it is installed on a spacecraft, it is not often used. After all, large human warships rarely land on planets.

Small ships are more useful, especially small exploration ships that often need to conduct landing exploration.

Of course, planetary and stellar ships will not be abandoned just because of this. They will always be useful.

For example, if the new flagship is equipped with an anti-gravity system, it will have more flexible maneuverability when approaching a massive celestial body, because it can adjust the repulsive field to allow itself to maneuver quickly and flexibly in the gravitational potential well of the massive celestial body.

In fact, whether it is quark material, planetary warp engine, or anti-gravity technology, they are all technologies related to force fields, and they are all things that can only appear on the basis of the theory of everything.

Humans believe that real shields and tachyon weapons will be realized in the near future.

Humanity has just stepped onto the fifth level of civilization, and it will take time to accumulate and slowly realize each derivative technology.

Time passes slowly in hard work, year after year.

A few years later, Yue Yuan did not wait for the news of the successful development of real shields and tachyon weapons, but the fourth-generation warp technology was first perfected and it was said that it could be tested in real life. At the same time, humans also built a negative matter production factory from scratch in this starry sky, which was used as the fourth-generation warp negative energy fuel.

Positive energy continues to use antimatter, and its 100% mass-energy conversion rate means that it will not become obsolete even at the fifth level of civilization, and it will still be the best source of high-power positive energy.

Any creation must undergo many tests before it is put into large-scale use, and the same is true for mankind's fourth-generation warp engine.

And because the fourth-generation warp engine is also called the planetary warp engine, when choosing the experimental content, engineers naturally turned their attention to planets.

Under normal circumstances, they should go to a nearby star system to find a planet to try, but after learning that a rogue planet was heading towards the area where their Covenant fleet was located, the engineers unanimously decided that the target of the trial voyage would be that rogue planet.

In their words: Anyway, that unknown sulfur-based civilization is also going to the star system ahead, and using their planet for a trial experiment, it might as well be a matter of sending them to their destination.

Doing good things is the right thing to do. Upon hearing this proposal, Yue Yuan agreed immediately.

"Tell the investigation team to remove their disguise." After agreeing to this plan, Yue Yuan directly told the personnel who were investigating on the wandering planet.

After all, it is their home planet, so we have to say hello. Moreover, this approach can actually be regarded as helping the sulfur-based civilization. It would be natural to ask them to send a sample of their biosphere at that time.

After years of investigation, the civilization on the wandering planet has been confirmed to be a sulfur-based civilization, but the level of civilization is not the second-level civilization as humans initially believed, but between the first and second levels.

This sulfur-based civilization has mastered controlled nuclear fusion and advanced heavy nuclear fusion, but has not mastered cold nuclear fusion.

This was discovered by human exploration teams who sent micro-nano robots into the underground base of the sulfur-based civilization to collect intelligence when the sulfur-based civilization occasionally opened the entrance to the underground base. Of course, they also know the forms of those sulfur-based life forms.

They were a kind of life form with short legs and long arms. Their heads looked disgusting and ugly to humans. They were not tall but very large, just like big water tanks with arms and legs.

The skin of individuals in the sulfur-based civilization is dark purple and very rough, looking like stone skin full of cracks, and they eat sulfide.

They are omnivorous animals that eat both sulfur-based plants and sulfur-based animals on their planet. Sulfide mines are also one of their food sources.

During the secret observations in the past few years, humans have seen them coming out of underground bases, driving vehicles to mines in the ice and snow, and then transporting the dug minerals back to be processed into food ingredients and the like.

Absolutely explosive alien exotic scenery, human experience +1.

Their living environment and the animals on the planet give people a feeling of monsters and demons, and some animals look very Cthulhu. If you are afraid of various strange animals, you will not dare to enter the underground base of sulfur-based life even if you wear tactical armor.

However, their technological creations are no different from those of general technological civilizations, and they all use electricity.

Humans have observed them for a long time, have deciphered their language, and have not discovered any special technology.

They also use fire in their lives, but they don't ignite combustibles directly like humans do. They store oxygen like gas tanks. Oxygen is also poisonous to them. Inhaling a small amount is no problem and you won't even feel it, but inhaling a large amount will definitely kill you.

Speaking of which, humans have seen many aliens since they set foot on the starry sky, but they have never seen any aliens that look similar to themselves. This time, even the basic framework of life is different.

While humans marvel at the diversity of life, they are also more certain of the universality of life in the universe.

In the past few years, I don’t know how many scientists have exclaimed “the miracle of life”.

It is worth mentioning that there are many satellites of sulfur-based civilization in the orbit of this wandering planet. It can be seen that these satellites should have been sent after the planet entered the uniform navigation stage. However, humans did not touch them, and did not appear in front of these satellites because of covert detection.

But now that Yue Yuan has said so, these satellites naturally become the best microphones.

Thus, an electromagnetic wave signal sent from the human research ship passed through these satellites and instantly reached the underground base of the wandering planet. Since humans sent it directly using the communication form of sulfur-based civilization, sulfur-based civilization could understand it directly without any translation.
