Minke's black technology

Chapter 471 Someone Behind
The Ratmen of Yatania and the Catmen of Tristan originally originated on the same planet. They have been sworn enemies since the ignorance stage, and they will fight with their lives when they meet.

During this period, they each had their own advantages, but they were still unable to wipe out each other. Even if they thought they had killed all the Ratmen or Catmen, after a few decades, they would find that there were fish that slipped through the net.

Moreover, cat people and rat people are very capable of giving birth, as long as enough time and environment are given, enough groups of people can quickly reproduce.

"Wait!" A big man frowned and questioned: "If this kind of thing happened in an agricultural society, I wouldn't think there is any problem, but they have entered the space age with highly developed industries, and it stands to reason that they really want to eliminate some If a race..."

"This is the strange thing!" Another expert quickly explained: "According to what we know, both Yatania and Tristan have just entered the industrial revolution, which is equivalent to our Blue Star at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Even electricity The system has not been used for long!"

Hearing this explanation, everyone was in an uproar!

A civilization that just entered the Industrial Revolution?Aren't they already able to use superluminal technology to traverse the sea of ​​stars?
This is not a joke!
"how can that be?"

A certain leader of the Academy of Sciences felt that there was something wrong with this investigation report, which simply violated the common sense of science!

If the Blue Star humans hadn't had a black technology leader, I am afraid that they would not be able to master the anti-gravity engine technology in hundreds of thousands of years, let alone the super-light speed navigation technology such as curvature folding transmission.

The expert smiled wryly, and said: "According to the information provided by the Tristan cat people, they have already learned superluminal navigation technology in primitive society!"

The explanation was even more unbelievable, but the expert immediately waved a holographic video, explaining how aliens travel faster than light through a short 3D simulation demonstration.

Judging from the video, aliens have to enter the subspace if they want to travel faster than the speed of light. However, if they want to enter the subspace, they must use some kind of space crystal, and they can easily enter and exit the subspace through the meditation resonance of the navigator.

This kind of crystal is very rare, and after entering the subspace, there will be a certain amount of wear and tear on the crystal, and it is likely to disappear after repeated use.

"Aliens discovered this crystal in the primitive society, and then the wizards in the rat-men and cat-men tribe quickly discovered how to use the crystal, and they can even use their bodies to enter the subspace, cross the starry sky, and reach other planets!"

"Impossible!" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help saying in horror: "Whether it's a rat man or a cat man, they don't look like they can survive in a vacuum!"

"According to their description, the subspace is a very strange place. When the space crystal is functioning, it will not be harmed at all, and there is no need to breathe or eat. It is like being in a dream, but it is easy to get lost!" The expert added.

It turns out that the subspace is not a space in the physical sense, and it doesn't even exist in reality. As long as it resonates with the space crystal, it can enter the subspace within a certain period of time.

"This super-light speed travel technology is a bit different from the curvature folding transmission!" Someone said in a low voice.

"Indeed, according to their scientific theories, space and dreams are two sides of the same body. As long as intelligent life enters the dream through the resonance of the space crystal, it will be able to leap to the space of countless light years!"

"Because of this, they were able to travel faster than the speed of light in the primitive society. As long as the place coming out of the subspace is not dangerous, it is not a high-altitude sea or a starry sky, etc., there is always a chance to reach other galaxies smoothly..."

Therefore, the racial conflict between the Ratman and the Catman has never been resolved. It is because of the space crystal that these two races have never been able to annihilate each other, because there are more than ten planets in their galaxy that are suitable for survival and reproduction. If the crystal goes to other planets, it is likely to hide.

After decades of development, the Ratmen or Catmen will be able to fight back, and then these two races have been fighting back and forth for millions of years. As a result, the technology of both sides cannot climb to a higher level, and the technology often regresses due to wars. For hundreds of years, the civilization of the race has continued to stand still.

"I see!"

Everyone can finally understand why these aliens have not developed higher technology for millions of years. It turns out not only because there are multiple intelligent races on the same planet, but also because they have mastered subspace navigation technology too early, making them directly enter the space age .

As a result, the racial war between the two sides has been going on for millions of years and cannot be ended, which has dragged down the development of technological civilization on both sides, and has always been spinning within the original scope.

"If the opponent's technology is in the early stage of the industrial revolution, any country on our blue star can crush the opponent!"

"That's right! We can indeed win by relying on mass productivity, if we collide with them."

"But we still need to be more cautious. We should send the exploration spacecraft to have a look first, so as not to cause unnecessary losses!"

The bosses of the flower growers quickly made a decision to order the expedition fleet to continue to explore the galaxy of origin of the aliens according to the star map coordinates provided by the Tristan cat people, but they had to be careful not to let the rat people find out.

Within a few days, the news from the front fleet directly shocked the insiders.

It turns out that the information provided by the Tristan Catman is correct. The exploration fleet has discovered more than ten habitable planets in the designated coordinate system. Each of them has a different ecological environment, but they all seem to be suitable for human habitation.

Among them, the origin planet of the cat and mouse people is a quarter larger than that of the blue star. The composition of the upper atmosphere is the same as that of the blue star hundreds of millions of years ago. The oxygen ratio is very high, but the gravity of the planet is comparable to that of the blue star. It is estimated that there is a large cavity inside the planet. .

"This origin star has an ocean with an average depth of about 2000 meters, and its area accounts for more than half of the total surface area. The continental plates have very lush virgin forests. Obviously, they have not even fully explored their parent star.... "

"This is an inevitable thing, because they entered the space age too early, so they have not developed a high degree of planetary development. In addition to the parent star, there are more than ten planets waiting to be developed!" Some experts explained.

Faced with a galaxy with such abundant resources, all the bosses were a little excited at first, but they soon calmed down. After all, the rabbit also has a super-large galaxy like the Sagittarius Galaxy, and there are more than ten planets on it that can allow humans to live.

However, comparing the Sagittarius galaxy with the origin galaxy of the cat and mouse people, soon even the big guys who are not experts feel that something is wrong, because the two galaxies look very similar, except that there is no intelligent life on the Sagittarius galaxy. Planetary orbits are all similar.

"Is this a coincidence? It doesn't look like it!"

"Could it be that all super-large planetary systems are like this, because life needs to exist on multiple planets, so there is some kind of physical law in it?"

Especially the planets in the Sagittarius Galaxy, the natural environment on them is not only very similar to that of the Blue Star, but also the planet's flora and fauna grow very luxuriantly, with very rich resources available.

But the strange thing is that there are no traces of intelligent life on these planets. No matter how you look at it, it is a bit weird. If it is replaced by a planet like Blue Star, at least there will be signs of primitive people's activities.

"Academician Li, what do you think?" The boss suddenly asked Li Maoye.

Li Maoye has always felt uncoordinated with Sagittarius, and now he finally knows where the problem lies, so he said: "These two galaxies should be artificially formed!"

Everyone fell silent for a moment. This kind of answer was indeed unexpected, but it was reasonable from Li Maoye's mouth. After all, he is a senior alien expert.

Or simply he is an alien, so it is normal to know something!
Li Maoye paused for a moment, and then quickly explained: "I have checked the genes of the rat people and cat people, and it seems that there is no human factor, but in fact they are designed from the beginning to be a perfect and stable genetic structure. A coincidence in the Sagittarius galaxy..."

"I boldly infer that these two planets are actually places where advanced civilizations conduct experiments in space, but one of the galaxies is still conducting experiments, and the other galaxy stopped a long time ago!"

Hearing this explanation, the big bosses, academicians and experts present finally felt a crisis. It turned out that the ratmen and catmen they encountered were not real aliens, or not the advanced alien civilization they had expected.

"So, so we've been exposed to advanced aliens?" said one of the experts.

This is an obvious thing, Li Maoye did not answer, and other people quickly understood this, so the bosses of the relevant departments decided to immediately recall the expedition fleet and let them withdraw to another galaxy to stay, even the Sagittarius galaxy. The stronghold must also be abandoned immediately.

Just kidding, building a military base in someone else's experimental site is simply provocative!

Although human beings have not seen these two galaxy creators yet, they already understand how big the technological gap between the two sides is. After all, they are advanced civilizations that can create galaxies at will, and they are definitely not comparable to current humans.

Regarding the decision to retreat, Li Maoye originally wanted to prevent it. After all, human beings have been exposed to the eyes of advanced civilizations, and it is too late to turn around and run.

But if you think about it carefully, advanced civilizations will definitely not stare at the cat and mouse galaxy and the Sagittarius galaxy when they do experiments. They must come to collect data every once in a while, just like when he was in the cat laboratory. It is also assigned to the following researchers to do it, and then he collects data every day or every few days.

"It will definitely not be discovered for a while, but it will be difficult to say in a few years or more than ten years. If you are lucky, the advanced civilization behind this may not exist long ago, just like the civilization of Mars!"

"On the contrary, the space crystal is interesting, or apply for one to study?" Li Maoye thought to himself.

In fact, he suspected that the space crystals were the high-energy crystals he was looking for, but he couldn't tell if he hadn't seen the real ones. If they were really high-energy crystals, he would definitely get some and use them.

But the application submitted was not approved, because these space crystals are very precious and extremely unstable.

On each alien spacecraft, there is a navigator to use the space crystal, because they need to resonate with the crystal at any time to enter the subspace, so the crystal and the navigator are a whole.

"That is to say, if the crystal is alive, the person will die if the crystal is consumed?" Li Maoye asked.

"That's right! But it can be replenished while the crystal is still there, and the way to replenish it is by eating!" Tristan the catman explained.

After the navigator or alternate navigator eats the space crystal, a colorful crystal will be formed on the forehead soon, and the surrounding things can be pulled into the subspace only through meditation. It depends on the pilot's own ability.

"No wonder your spaceship is either a plank spaceship or a biological insect spaceship. It was originally to reduce weight? And there are no large spaceships, because this will be limited by the navigator's innate ability!"

"Well, it does!"

According to the records of the cat people, every intelligent life can resonate with the crystal, but the size and weight of the influence must be improved through training, and the space crystal is extremely scarce, and ordinary people must not be able to touch it.

Li Maoye thought about it carefully, and then asked suddenly: "From the confession of the Ratmen captives, they hunted you down for the confidential document on Princess Liya. May I ask if this document is related to the space crystal?"

The cat explainer was stunned when he heard this, not knowing how to answer.

"Haha! I shouldn't ask you, but the princess." Li Maoye patted his bald head and said.

In fact, he didn't need to ask himself. After the relevant department received Li Maoye's speculation, a psychologist immediately went to talk to Princess Liya and got the relevant information soon.

It turns out that the Tristan Empire discovered a space crystal mine in a certain galaxy. After millions of years of consumption, this kind of crystal has long been very precious and scarce. Therefore, to be able to own a high-yield crystal mine is simply equivalent to owning a Zhang is the trump card of the decisive battle.

Even though the population of the Ratmen in Yatania is much larger than that of the Catmen, and they had a strong development advantage in the era of the Industrial Revolution, when they learned that the Tristan Empire had discovered the crystal mine, the upper echelons of the Ratmen couldn't sit still. up.

For the two races, space crystals are a military necessity. If there are no crystals or not enough crystals, they will be easily defeated by the opponent.

For millions of years, the cat man and the rat man have been helpless against each other, because whoever owns the space crystal is basically invincible, and even if they can't beat the other party, they can easily turn around and escape.

Therefore, Yatania Ratman must obtain the coordinate address of this crystal mine, and this confidential information is only known to Princess Liya who is in charge of transporting the crystal.
