Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 910: Surprise Brought by the Pioneers
For a moment, Yue Yuan couldn't make up his mind, because both the content in the YiKai document and the progress of new life form technology seemed a bit far away at the moment.

In fact, Yue Yuan understood that it was useless to think too much. If quantum technology was really realized by then, he would not be able to ban it even if he wanted to, and banning the development of a technological route was not a good thing.

That would be tantamount to blocking the development of civilization. Yue Yuan would rather find a way to regulate the use of technology with rules and regulations than do that.

In fact, things were not as simple as Yue Yuan thought. Scientists in the field of spiritual consciousness also underestimated the difficulty of this scientific and technological route. Fifty years after that idea was put forward, they were still only in the initial stage of theory.

The field of human life sciences seemed to have fallen into silence again, and there were no waves in the next fifty years.

Under such circumstances, the attention of human civilization quietly turned to the creation upgrade plan, because at this moment the plan was nearing completion, and the plan would be perfectly completed once the last battleship was completed.

And that battleship was the new flagship that was planned first but completed last. As always, humans named it Lyra.

Up to now, humans have completed a total of 1 star-class residential spaceships and completed population migration. Each residential spaceship has a quota of approximately 900 million people. This quota is very spacious for a star-class residential spaceship because it is a multi-layer structure.

Today, the human population is about 956 billion, which is not a lot for a level five civilization. Since human life expectancy has been greatly extended, the growth rate of the human population has slowed down.

Compared to humans, the number of Red Flame people has exceeded one trillion, making them the civilization with the largest number of individual lives in the Star Alliance.

Next are the Tianquan civilization, the Nair civilization, and the Kuntai civilization, with the least number of humans.

The Star Alliance is already a true interstellar organization.

In addition to the living spacecraft, humans also have 3 star-class biosphere spacecraft and 100 million star-class warships. They are divided into 8 fleets. The first fleet has the most star-class warships, reaching 20, and the remaining fleets have 10 star-class warships each.

Except for the flagship of the First Fleet, which has always been called Tianqin, the flagships of the other seven fleets also have their own ship numbers, which are taken from the Big Dipper, namely Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang.

Since it is a star-class battleship, humans named it after seven stars, which can be regarded as a kind of nostalgia.

Of course, each fleet has more than just these warships. In fact, in addition to the stellar-class main battle ships, there are also many planetary-class spaceships and warships of various types. If the planetary-class ships are counted, the number of each fleet will reach the million level.

However, it was not humans who were responsible for the production and arming of those planetary battleships, but the civilizations that were members of the Star Alliance. Those who were driving the planetary battleships were also members of the Star Alliance, among which the Red Flame Civilization had the largest number of people.

All of their main weapons are equipped with tachyon lightsabers, all of their shields are real shields, and their warp engines are also fourth generation. Although the combat effectiveness and defense capabilities of these warships are not as strong as the star-class battleships carefully built by humans, they are superior in number and their construction costs are much lower than those of star-class battleships.

With the current level of human technology, it is not impossible to use it as a war consumable.

Humans reorganized their fleets in this way in order to make the member civilizations of the Star Alliance fight for them. However, humans have always been very cautious in this regard. Therefore, those who can become captains of planetary battleships or hold key positions have all been baptized by ideological imprinting.

After a few years, the construction of humanity's new flagship is finally nearing completion.

At this point, its mental connection equipment has been fully installed, and humanity's only set of warp enhancement devices has been moved to the New Lyra just as it was back then.

Not long after that, the new Tianqin was officially completed, and then the human military and political institutions moved to the new warship. The next thing to do was to conduct a warp test.

Of course, this is not an ordinary warp test. The ordinary test has been done long ago. What Qinhao needs to do today is to test the warp state after the warp enhancement device is officially started.

But this test revealed a big surprise for humans.

The warp speed of the Lyra was indeed faster than that of a normal stellar-class spacecraft equipped with a fourth-generation warp engine. The normal warp speed was only 101.59 times the speed of light, while the Lyra reached 130.44 times the speed of light.

It is almost 30 times the speed of light. At the time of the fourth-level civilization, it was only 11 times the speed of light. With this result, humans are more looking forward to how much the sixth-level civilization can be enhanced.

The surprise was not just the warp speed. Humans also discovered that the Lyra could actually enter warp speed instantly.

This is amazing. You have to know that when it was at the fourth level of civilization, it took about 5 seconds for the Lyra to start warp speed and for the battleship to enter warp state. The same is true for stellar and planetary battleships equipped with fourth-generation warp engines.

As far as humans know, the Perseus Trade Federation probe spacecraft they encountered needed 4 seconds to enter warp speed, but today's Lyra can enter warp speed in seconds.

Based on this, and combined with the 213 times the speed of light demonstrated by the sixth-level civilization, human engineers have put forward a guess. They seriously suspect that 101.59 times the speed of light is the highest warp speed that a normal fifth-level civilization can achieve, rather than from 1 times the speed of light to 10.079 times, and then to 38.941 times the speed of light like a fourth-level civilization.

The progress of the warp speed level of a level five civilization may only be reflected in the time it takes to enter the warp speed state from a stationary state, and the time from entering the warp speed state to reaching the maximum warp speed.

This kind of progress is probably just an improvement in the level of warp engine technology, and will not involve a generation gap. So, perhaps the peak fifth-level civilization warp technology is instantaneous warp.

Of course, the engineers are not sure yet, and they need to contact more level 5 civilizations to know the details. If not, the instantaneous warp speed brought by the warp enhancement device will be even more powerful.

During the test, the operator who pushed the warp lever was stunned for a moment, thinking that the instrument display was wrong. After repeated confirmation, he found that he had actually entered the warp speed directly, and it was the highest warp speed state.

This is something that humanity has never seen before, and no one expected that the warp enhancement device would have this effect.

After receiving a lot of surprises, the entire Star Alliance set off again.

This time, the target will no longer be the nearby star system, because the creation upgrade plan has been completed. So the destination of this trip is very clear, which is to go back and find Adley.

This was something humans had planned before. Once they become a Level 5 civilization, they will definitely go look for Adéli. After that, regardless of whether Adéli is still around or not, humans will embark on the path of searching for other civilizations to inquire about the news of the Level 5 civilization that destroyed the solar system.

With the fifth-level civilization, humans finally don’t have to worry so much.

According to the information obtained from the Perseus trade market, most of the surviving Level VI civilizations in the Milky Way during this period are hiding and licking their wounds. As long as you are not unlucky enough to encounter those malicious Level VI civilizations that did not participate in the war, there is basically no need to worry too much.

If not for this, these level five civilizations would not dare to jump out so blatantly to engage in interstellar trade.
