I was exposed for mining on Mars

"Leap?"

After Luo Xiu heard Cao Guolin's prompt, he gradually paid attention to the other party's experiment.

"Yes, jump." Cao Guolin nodded in response before pointing to the virtual screen again, "But we only discovered the phenomenon of this jump. In subsequent experiments, matter was swallowed up by the core of the antimatter annihilation zone. Lost."

"It is precisely because of this that this experiment is not considered a success. We can't even provide much data."

Cao Guolin was also very sorry for this experiment. At that time, they did not expect that there would be a jump, so they did not prepare accordingly.

At that time, if a large number of reconnaissance ships were distributed outside the antimatter annihilation zone, they would not be able to find out how the metal rod appeared.

"Don't be upset, it's normal."

At this time, Luo Xiu, who was looking at the virtual screen, comforted the regretful Cao Guolin, "In the process of science, nothing is achieved overnight."

Luo Xiu, who has lived in the cruising fleet for many years, has seen the failure of more than twenty civilization experiments too many times.

Every time they fail, the Ascended Council of the Cruising Fleet and the Cygnus Civilization will not blame them at all. No matter how much resources were wasted and how much time was spent, the Ascended Council was extremely tolerant of them.

Because as ascendants, they also know that research is not easy. Every epoch-making discovery is the result of hundreds of thousands of years of research.

At this point, Luo Xiu felt that the Cygnus civilization had done quite well.

"Now that the possibility of transition has been discovered in the core area of ​​the antimatter annihilation zone, we will continue to increase the intensity of the experiment."

This discovery of the possibility of being different from the Star Gate jump was also very important to Luo Xiu, so after comforting Cao Guolin, he continued to arrange the research plan for the jump, "As long as we continue to conduct observations, then The likelihood of another jump increases."

"By the way, if the observation ships are not enough, let the Jupiter fleet join in the observation."

When Luo Xiu said these words, it was equivalent to handing over the command of the Jupiter fleet to Cao Guolin, the person in charge of the lunar research base.

Cao Guolin was also a little surprised at Luo Xiu's 'generosity' this time, "Okay, Commander, we will definitely be able to complete the research plan."

In fact, when Cao Guolin thought about it, he was a member of the Blue Star Civilization. As a human commander of a starship, there was no way he could hand over command of the fleet.

Although the other party probably only asked the fleet to help them monitor the antimatter annihilation area, this is also the greatest authority that Blue Star humans have obtained in the entire solar system alliance.

But before Cao Guolin could finish sighing in his heart, Luo Xiu gave him another piece of bombshell news, "Are you interested in joining the Starship Humanity?"

"What?!" Facing Luo Xiu's question, Cao Guolin responded subconsciously.

Previously, Blue Star had been speculating about Luo Xiu.

Whether it is the Creator God, a passing civilization that crashed on Mars, or a civilization that originally left Blue Star and returned. And these speculations have nothing to do with the current Blue Star humans.

The civilizations in these speculations are basically not the same type as Blue Star. If you really join them, wouldn't you become a traitor?

Although the two civilizations have now formed an alliance in Blue Star, for the Blue Star civilization, this is a passive cooperation forced by helplessness.

If the manpower strength of Blue Star is equal to that of the starship, there is no need for external civilization to join at this time, and the fight will be in full swing within the solar system.

"What, you don't want to?"

Luo Xiu seemed to see Cao Guolin's hesitation, took a step forward, and said to the Blue Star employee he valued most.

"Forehead"

Of course, it was impossible for Cao Guolin to make a decision immediately on such an important matter.

After all, this is not just a simple change of family, it is a change of residence, and it is even different from a change of nationality.

These are two civilizations, two completely different civilizations in the universe.

Joining the opponent from the Blue Star Humanity camp, although he is still in the solar system and a member of the Blue Star Humanity and Starship Humanity Alliance, the meaning it represents is completely different.

"Think about it carefully, there is still plenty of time."

Facing Cao Guolin's hesitation, Luo Xiu had no intention of letting him make an immediate decision. After all, no matter what the other party's identity was, what he did was the same.

Even if Cao Guolin chooses to join the Starship Humanity, he will only be responsible for this lunar research base.

The only difference may be that Cao Guolin will get some past information about the starship humans.

Of course, Cao Guolin still doesn't know what he will encounter after joining the starship humans. He just stood under the virtual screen, frowning and thinking.

And Cao Guolin, who was concentrating on weighing the pros and cons of joining the starship humans, didn't even feel Luo Xiu's departure.

"General Manager Cao, he has left."

When the door of the research room closed automatically, Xue He walked out of the crowd, came to Cao Guolin's side, reached out and patted Cao Guolin's shoulder, and said.

"Huh? Oh."

Cao Guolin nodded mechanically, then turned around and walked towards his own area in the research room.

After seeing this, Xue He did not follow him. Instead, he signaled to everyone not to disturb Cao Guolin, and like Cao Guolin, he returned to his work station.

As a Blue Star human and a member of the Lunar Research Base, Xue He could imagine what Cao Guolin was thinking when he was invited by Luo Xiu.

For Blue Star humans like them, the starship humans are just like the cruising fleet to Luo Xiu, they are an extremely powerful existence.

Xue He, who returned to his seat, shook his head and stopped thinking about this issue. He directly chose to enter the virtual world to check the situation in the antimatter annihilation area.

Luo Xiu, who left the research room, walked directly out of the research base and took the orbital shuttle to space.

Now that he has woken up from hibernation, Luo Xiu must do something.

"To the asteroid belt starport."

After arriving from the orbital shuttle to the ship in lunar orbit, Luo Xiu spoke directly into the void.

"Okay, Your Excellency Commander, we have designated a course and are heading to the asteroid belt starport."

In the reply from the control system, the ship left the lunar orbit and headed straight for the asteroid belt.

"What's the situation like at the Kuiper Belt bases?"

The Kuiper Belt base that Luo Xiu mentioned was a base built near the antimatter annihilation area that was previously tested specifically for the study of space membranes.

There are a large number of test ships staying in this base, and they are all ships preparing to enter the antimatter annihilation zone and contact the antimatter objects.

After a successful coating, Luo Xiu and the Blue Star scientists at the research base were very optimistic about this method. After all, this was their first successful coating, and it was also the only case.

Space battleships with space membranes are now Luo Xiu's other trump card besides antimatter annihilation bombs.

Although its maneuvering distance is very limited, its damage to the cruising fleet is definitely very high.

If all the 100,000 warships in the cruising fleet sail into the solar system at the same time, depending on the density of the opponent's warships, the impact of this space warship will take away many ships.

However, although its combat power is strong, its number is still too small. With just one, even if it can destroy hundreds of thousands of ships, it will be a drop in the bucket for the two civilizations in the solar system.

In order to increase its number, ships entered the area one after another, trying to create space warships from it.

Unfortunately, this approach has not achieved much results.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the Kuiper Belt has lost 6,189 ships, including 3,123 test ships, 2,346 Xia Qi class battleships, 318 Xia Yu class battleships, and 302 Shangtang class battleships."

"Only one ship was successfully coated."

The only successful battleship that the control system said was at the edge of the Oort Cloud of the solar system, and was confronting the warship of the cruising fleet.

"There are already more than six thousand ships?" After hearing this number, Luo Xiu frowned unconsciously.

After the initial experiment with membrane attachment, Luo Xiu didn't pay much attention to the progress of the base. But what he didn't expect was that this antimatter annihilation zone would turn into such a huge ship-devouring behemoth.

But at this critical moment, Luo Xiu certainly couldn't stop this crucial experiment. So although Luo Xiu felt that the success rate was a bit low, he finally said to the new control system: "Continue to increase investment. And build a new star port near the base to increase the number of ships entering."

"Okay, Commander, we are sending a signal to the Kuiper Belt base."

Since all major bases have now used quantum communication, the transmission speed is also quite fast.

While the control system of the lunar research base was issuing Luo Xiu instructions everywhere, the warlord ship at the edge of the Oort cloud really couldn't sit still.

‘The other party’s fluctuations are still stable, and it is speculated that he has fully mastered the use of space energy. ’

‘Send a signal to base camp? ’

‘The signal sending permission has been cancelled. Do you want to reapply for the signal sending permission? ’

'Calculating'

Due to the long-term 'AI confrontation' with space warships on the edge of the Oort Cloud, the system on the warship was a little anxious.

The main reason why the warship wanted to apply for signal permission was that when they were observing the space warship, they discovered that there seemed to be some experiments going on in a special area in the solar system.

Conducting experiments means that there is technology that the other party has not yet mastered.

The weapons in the opponent's hands are already so powerful. If they continue to study them, after the main fleet moves again and rushes to the solar system, the opponents they encounter will not be what they are now.

‘If the predetermined data is not exceeded, the application cannot be made. ’

After the warship judged itself, it again denied itself.

The signal was not sent from the warship, and the Ascended Council at the cruise fleet's base camp certainly had no information about the solar system's complete control of space energy.

However, although the warship rejected his application, opposite him, the space warship in the space membrane was still able to communicate with the control system inside the solar system through quantum communication.

"Your Excellency, Commander, through the observation of the ship with the space membrane attached, the other party still has not sent any signals to the outside."

While the space battleship was continuously transmitting signals back, the lunar base control system was also telling Luo Xiu the information it had just received from the space battleship.

This information is of course very good for Luo Xiu.

Only if the warship chooses not to contact the outside world can Luo Xiu gain a slight advantage in the next contact between the two sides.

"laugh!"

Just when Luo Xiu was still quite satisfied with the actions of the warship, the ship he was on had arrived from the moon to the star port located in the asteroid belt.

When the door opened, Luo Xiu did not hesitate. Wearing exoskeleton armor, he left directly from the hatch and walked towards the largest shipbuilding factory in this star port.

"How is the production of the quantum interference ship going?"

Luo Xiu asked the base control system while using the propeller to fly towards the shipbuilding factory.

"Seventeen quantum interference ships have been manufactured, but due to the small coverage area, the production of the eighteenth ship has been announced by the director of the lunar research base to stop production."

Although the control system of the lunar research base has just taken over the information database, as a virtual system, it can of course be seamlessly connected.

"How small?"

Before Luo Xiu went into hibernation last time, the quantum interference ship was already at the end of its research.

Compared with antimatter and stargate jump, this technology is lower on the technical level.

After all, Blue Star humans have been studying quantum transmission before. Although the results of the research are not very good, they are still closer to the Blue Star technology tree.

Therefore, Blue Star personnel have a smoother process in researching this project.

But just after the research was successful and the test ships began to be produced and tested, problems emerged one after another.

For example, its coverage area left many Blue Star personnel involved in the research speechless.

"The coverage area is only two kilometers in diameter."

This answer from the Lunar Research Base System made Luo Xiu very disappointed. With a diameter of two kilometers, the distance it could really cover was only one kilometer.

This distance may have been very far for previous blue stars, but in the universe, this coverage area is equivalent to nothing.

Not to mention the ships of the cruising fleet, Luo Xiu's own battleships have already reached the kilometer level.

If the coverage radius of the quantum disruptor is really only one kilometer, then for Luo Xiu, it would be no different than not having it.

"Let the people in charge of this project continue to develop it, and at least let it cover a radius of ten kilometers."

Ten kilometers is not a large distance in space, but it can already carry out quantum interference on the warlord ship at the edge of the Oort cloud.
