From black technology to super engineering.

Chapter 535 1 years is too long

A week later.

A small spaceship with a length of about 30 meters, a width of about ten meters and a height of about ten meters slowly landed on the roof apron of the Brain-Computer Center building.

The exterior of the spaceship is painted in a conventional blue and white color, with an Earth-Moon system centered in Asia drawn on the horizontal stripes in the middle, and the eight Chinese characters "Earth and Space Defense Convention" are arranged in a circle on it, and the entire icon is centrally symmetrical shape.

After the spaceship came to a complete stop, the gangway was lowered. Following the two robot warriors, the serious-looking Director Niu followed closely behind, unable to get off the gangway.

At the entrance of the corridor not far away, Ye Ming kept shaking his head at him, very contemptuous.

"Why can I only take a helicopter, but you can take a spaceship?"

"I'm here to try sailing for you!"

"Well, it's about the same." Ye Ming was about to turn around and walk to the elevator, but then he stopped and looked back at the spaceship: "Why don't you go back to the ship and chat? There is no other mission on this ship, right?"

"...Not yet."

……

After greeting the flight attendants, Ye Ming walked into the cabin of the spaceship.

It has to be said that this is the first dedicated spaceship for human beings... In fact, it is no different from a private jet, and its space is even narrower because of the need to install a fusion engine.

"It feels a little smaller."

"Well, it's mainly for convenience. You can just treat him as a helicopter." Director Niu sat opposite Ye Ming, and then looked at him with burning eyes: "Are you sure about the revision of the plan?"

Director Niu took this first "small" spaceship and landed directly in front of Ye Ming, of course not to send a special "ship" to Ye Ming - this spaceship can be seen from the painting, it is actually It is Taiyue's special official spacecraft, and it will mainly travel between the earth and the moon in the future.

And he himself, before stepping on the spacecraft, inspected the Guanghan base on the moon.

The reason why he rushed back in such a hurry was naturally because Ye Ming submitted a modification plan for the rice propeller last night.

As the highest civil official stationed in Taiyue in China and the person in charge of the entire national central system, he naturally had to ask him face to face.

"The experiment has been successful, of course I'm sure." Ye Ming looked around. He didn't lead the design of this spaceship. He just accepted the anti-gravity module, so he was quite curious about the interior decoration: "There is a projection on it. Bar?"

"Yes... can you talk about something serious?"

"Haha, didn't I just say that?" Ye Ming laughed, and then coughed lightly: "Aita."

Aita's voice came from inside the cabin: "I'm here."

"Show Director Niu the experimental results."

"Ok."

Director Niu: "...I have seen it many times, but I just don't quite understand the principle."

"Actually, the principle is very simple. You can understand that we project the three-dimensional matter into the two-dimensional space according to a certain space conversion structure-don't look at it, it's just a small two-dimensional space membrane, it's just bound by the force field all the way Stop it, if you let it expand and enlarge, it can enlarge to a very large size..."

"... How old is it?"

"Hmm... cover the earth?" Ye Ming said and shook his head: "Don't worry about this, and in terms of technical prospects, there are more signs of the success of cold nuclear fusion this time - it means that we may be able to use two-dimensional unfolding Technology enables more operations.”

"for example?"

"For example, two-dimensional superconductivity. For example, if the scale is further reduced, we expand at the atomic level and create atoms that can be freely controlled. For example, we can use this energy transfer technology to realize energy transmission to high-dimensional spaces..."

"Of course, the most intuitive thing is that we can realize the miniaturization of energy." Ye Ming said slowly, with a smile on his lips: "In time, once the technology matures, we will be able to create a mobile artificial singularity The mothership—that’s the most useful. You went to the moon this time, and after looking at the planned site of the artificial singularity, you know how much space is needed to carry out such a large project, right?”

Director Niu exhaled lightly and nodded heavily.

This time he went to the moon. In addition to inspecting the Guanghan Base and the Taiyo Defense Center, he also went to see the superaccelerator project and the planning of the artificial singularity - which highly coincided with the place where Ye Ming walked.

After all, like Ye Ming, this is his first time going to heaven, and he is always curious.

He also knew that in the past six months or even a year, Ye Ming, in addition to promoting the theory of dimensional physics, has focused on two areas of engineering, super accelerators and artificial singularities.

The former is the weapon system that human beings rely on for survival, while the latter is the key to human beings expanding the influence of civilization.

Now all the designs have been completed, and the entire earth industrial system has been invested. Not to mention, the National Nuclear Corporation has also sent a large number of engineers to the moon to build a helium-three power station to meet the energy requirements of the man-made singularity and the accelerator.

If, as Ye Ming said, if the two-dimensional reactor technology matures and can miniaturize two-dimensional cold nuclear fusion, then... realizing a mobile artificial singularity is no longer a dream—even curvature flight can be realized.

Just imagine, assuming that a spaceship can fly faster than the speed of light while changing the curvature, and at the same time, it can stop and then open a man-made singularity, and continuously transfer materials and even creatures across billions of light years... How great it would be Prospects?
Not to mention the colonization of the universe, even if it is human beings doing "traditional" interstellar trade, this thing is a big killer!

"Then what is the biggest difficulty now?" Director Niu looked at Ye Ming with burning eyes. He knew that Ye Ming had always been very aggressive in the application of new technologies. It means that the current technology is still difficult and cannot be used on a large scale.

Hearing the word "difficult", Ye Ming's expression became more serious. After a few seconds of silence, he breathed out softly: "The main problem is heat dissipation."

"Heat dissipation?"

"Well, heat dissipation." Ye Ming pursed his lips and nodded lightly: "At present, we can release energy through the engine, and the temperature of the cold fusion engine itself is not high, so we don't need to think too much about heat deposition. problem. But if fusion is going to be used for energy, the problem of heat dissipation is very real.”

Director Niu frowned slightly: "What will happen if the heat dissipation is not good?"

"You can understand it as heat death—relatively speaking, the two-dimensional space we created is essentially an isolated system that obeys the second law of thermodynamics, and this system is more limited and more stable than the three-dimensional universe. It is easy to reach the limit entropy, and when the entropy reaches the limit, it will be heat death."

"Eh..." Director Niu looked at Ye Ming carefully: "You have a solution, right?"

"There's no good way to do that yet."

"..."

Ye Ming laughed. He doesn’t have a good solution now, which doesn’t mean he has no ideas, but everything has to wait until the super accelerator and two-dimensional space membrane generator on the moon are completed, which can convert larger mass three-dimensional matter into two dimensions Verification can only take place after that.

……

Leaving the spaceship, Ye Ming and Director Niu returned to the office. During the chat, the two talked about the fact that the spaceship of the Canglan Star had already set sail, and then they inevitably talked about the trade negotiations with the Youmu Star, or the Kodo people. question.

In the trade negotiation with Youmuxing, Ye Ming had a chat with the Great Elder on the opposite side, and the rest were almost all contacted and negotiated by CNY and the business department of Taiyue.

The latest situation Ye Ming knew was what Director Niu told him last time, and the other party issued a large number of lists.

"The current comprehensive consideration is that when we send a batch of supplies there, we will also send some business representatives and diplomats there." Director Niu held a teacup, crossed his legs, and smiled: "I guess the Kodo people think they haven't seen us." The real person is a little uneasy."

"Send someone over there?" Ye Ming was startled for a moment, and then realized: "Yes, the Canglan Star people must have made adaptive changes to the environment over there. Since the Kodo people can adapt to the environment there, then Humans can obviously adapt as well."

"Well, and according to the basic diplomatic principles, if the two sides have established diplomatic and trade relations, they will definitely send envoys to each other. Therefore, in addition to sending people to the spaceship this time, we may also send their people Come here soon."

Ye Ming nodded, and then laughed and cursed: "Damn, I used to watch sci-fi movies, and aliens drove flying saucers to the earth. When it's over, human beings will either kneel and lick, or fight with people like an aboriginal... ..."

Director Niu laughed loudly: "You mean playing music?"

"Hahahaha! Almost! But I didn't expect the reality to be that we ran to other people's galaxy and brought them over..."

"That's right... and an embassy is going to be built for people." Director Niu said with a long breath, and he looked back at the data management building of the Earth Community - at this time the building has been repaired, and people from hundreds of countries Officials and technical staff have already moved in.

"You said, as we come into contact with more civilizations, will we build a diplomatic city in the future?"

"I think...it can be repaired." Ye Ming narrowed his eyes, but he was looking at space: "The universe is so vast, and there are so many civilizations... Even the Canglan Star people, they can't go anywhere What if the universe—even if there is a so-called habitable zone during the expansion of the big bang in the universe, when humans finish exploring the universe, there will be countless civilizations encountered in theory.”

"Haha, is it possible that we will encounter a super awesome civilization?"

Ye Ming smiled and shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, our goal is to become a super civilization..."

Director Niu nodded with emotion, and then looked straight at Ye Ming for a few seconds, until the latter became a little confused, and he smiled slightly: "Haven't you ever thought about seeing that day with your own eyes?"

Ye Ming was slightly taken aback, and immediately heard what Director Niu said, and he immediately coughed: "Old Niu, I definitely don't support the Digital Life Project."

"Then what if others...or later generations succeed in doing it?"

"Then it's none of my business." Ye Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, and said softly, "Do you know what I admire about Canglan Star people?"

"Huh?" Director Niu was stunned: "What do you admire about them?"

"Even if they are facing the crisis of genocide, they still adhere to certain principles-you should know that the Canglan Star people, especially the Saint Star people, are more qualified than us to realize the uploading of consciousness."

Director Niu thought for a while: "You mean uploading consciousness to the brain?"

"Yes. I asked Uda if they could upload their consciousness to the brain."

"Uda answered in the affirmative, but said that this is not allowed. Similarly, they do not allow cloning - because this will cause the entire ethnic group to completely lose the ability to reproduce naturally, and thus lead to uncontrollable destruction." Ye Ming He paused as he spoke: "Of course, I think so. They should still have the ability and hope to reproduce naturally and restore their ethnic group, and they are not facing a desperate situation."

"But in any case, they can realize that immortality is not a good thing for the biological meaning of the ethnic group. At the very least, time will become less precious."

"Time is no longer precious, so... tell me, what's the point of our pursuit?" Ye Ming shook his head firmly: "Only if the hope is continued from generation to generation, the pursuit is meaningful, and human beings are also meaningful."

Director Niu nodded after a long silence: "So, let's act quickly."

"Yeah, 1 years is too long, so seize the day!"

……

As a mature political body, the negotiations between the human community and the Stars are prudent, and they are also taking great strides—this may seem contradictory, but in fact it is not contradictory.

On the one hand, human beings need to urgently obtain the assistance of the celestial beings—even if their "combat power" is better than nothing in the face of the executors, it is always possible to cheer, and even provide some help!On the other hand, human beings also need to provide buffer time for close contact with eye-catching stars.

Therefore, in mid-September, the "Community" began to announce various agreements with the Stars.These agreements include the peace and friendship between human beings and the target star, as well as commodity trade exchanges.

At the same time as the announcement of the agreement, promotional short stories produced by the eye-catching stars and the introduction of their planet and civilization were also spread to the human world through diplomatic robots.

To accept a race, of course, one must first become familiar with a race.

Fortunately, the faces of the people from the Canglan Star had been known to humans a year ago, giving humans a buffer time for visual acceptance.

Therefore, when the community finally announced that human beings will establish the first ambassador-level diplomatic relationship with the targeted star, the emotions of the entire human society were generally high and supportive.

After all... this is a diplomatic cooperation dominated by humans.It was not signed by human beings with their heads held down by a powerful enemy, but a diplomacy initiated by human beings and demonstrating human influence and will.

In short, this is the embodiment of the "big earth" temperament of human beings - some people jokingly call it "big ball chauvinism".

So in late September, a fleet composed of a Xunxing, a transport ship, and a resource ship took off smoothly in Xichang Space City, carrying human goods and diplomatic missions to the Triangulum galaxy.
