Minke's black technology

Chapter 472
Space Crystal Mine!
After receiving this breaking news, the bosses of the relevant departments couldn't sit still.

Judging from the description of the aliens, this kind of space crystal can allow people to easily enter the subspace, and then travel through the cosmic starry sky at super-light speed.

The process is simple and easy, without any complicated instruments and equipment, and it is easy to achieve space travel purely by relying on spiritual power!
Of course, with the development of catman technology, they will also use various instruments and equipment to maximize the crystal function, especially the accuracy of leaving the subspace is particularly important.

It's just that from a human point of view, the technological level of aliens is obviously inferior to that of Blue Star Technology.

"If we can get this crystal mine..."

When the relevant experts thought of such a good thing, they were very excited deep in their hearts, and repeatedly urged the higher-ups to make a decision quickly, whether to sit back and watch the cat and mouse fight, or fight with them in person.

As for the attitude of the advanced civilization aliens behind this, after analyzing and discussing, relevant experts feel that even if they defend against the other party, it will not be of much use.

"However, before competing for space crystals, we must first determine whether humans can use them..."

The Meow Star Laboratory tested the subspace engine on the Ratman spacecraft, and found that the lack of space crystals cannot form subspace fluctuations, let alone enter the subspace to travel through space.

In fact, it is difficult for Blue Star humans to detect the existence of the subspace, and this space is an idealistic thing. After entering the subspace, it is easy to get lost, so a navigator is needed to control the crystal to guide the spacecraft forward.

"It is said that if the navigator wants to quickly enter the state of meditation, he can do so by lighting some kind of spice, which is similar to the sandalwood used by monks to sit in meditation!"

"It is also possible to take water soaked in spices, but this substance has a strong psychoactive effect, so most navigators will not do this."

There is a lot of this spice in the wreckage of the spaceship. After the laboratory personnel analyzed it, they found that it was a dark brown ore with a very low ignition point and could be dissolved in water. It seemed to have no effect on humans.

Because a researcher took the risk to test it. He first sniffed the spice, then ignited it and took it. It tasted nothing but a strange smell in his nose.

"Mental state also had no effect, not even comparable to the effect of alcohol!" the researchers concluded.

Then there is the space crystal test. In order to make the test process easier, the laboratory even invited a navigator from Tristan the cat to guide. After all, it is not easy to enter meditation and resonate with crystals.

Originally, the human quantum computer was able to decipher the alien catman's language at a very high rate. After obtaining a lot of information on the grasshopper spacecraft, it was basically able to make the translation earphones achieve accurate simultaneous translation.

The lingua franca of aliens is a phonetic language, which has many more letters than the blue star phonetic language. It is estimated to be the result of millions of years of development and evolution. The long-term civilization has made the language much more complicated. .

The catman's navigator was a little reluctant to teach humans how to use the space crystals, but their Princess Liya gave an order to help the group of erect apes study the space crystals as much as possible.

"We have to rely on their help to make it possible for the cat people to rise again. Otherwise, with the power of the Yatania rat people, sooner or later, the cat people will be wiped out!" Princess Liya said.

"How is it possible!" The catman navigator was extremely surprised. In his opinion, the Yatanian ratmen might be able to destroy the Tristan Empire this time, but the catman clan would not be wiped out so easily.

After all, the cat-and-mouse battle has never stopped for millions of years. Everyone has fallen to the bottom, but in the end they still take a breather and return to the peak.

It's like a roller coaster, with ups and downs and no end in sight.

But Princess Liya thinks that the end is in front of her eyes, and it's still a bottomless abyss!
Not only the navigator couldn't believe it, but even the other crew members couldn't believe it.

But Princess Liya knew in her heart that with the development of the technology of the cats and mice, the cruelty of the war was far more intense than before. It is not difficult to really wipe out the enemy.

The Ratman overwhelmed the Catman by virtue of their super-high fertility rate, and finally won the million-year race competition. If the news of the space crystal mine hadn't been delayed for a while, the Tristan Empire would have ceased to exist.

If the Tristan Empire were allowed to control the crystal veins, almost everyone would be able to use the crystals. Even if they could not defeat the Yatanian Ratman, they could at least escape quickly to protect themselves.

But the problem is... this space crystal mine is fake!

Princess Lia of the Tristan Empire is nothing more than a bait, mainly used to attract the army of Yatanian rat people, thereby reducing the pressure on the front lines of the empire.

As for encountering powerful alien creatures like humans during the escape, it was completely accidental. After some contact, Princess Liya discovered that these Homo erectus possessed a technological civilization far surpassing that of the cat and mouse galaxy, and they also had superhuman civilizations. Strong military strength.

Ever since, a plan to divert disasters to the east was born.

"As long as we can make humans interested in crystals, and then use fake crystal mine information to attract ratmen, there will definitely be conflicts between the two parties!" Princess Liya thought to herself.

But the difficulty is that human beings have no response to the space crystals, most of the crystals are destroyed as the spaceship is attacked, and there are only a few pieces of crystals left, but they are enough for experiments.

Human meditation can't resonate with the crystal, so the ripples of the subspace have never appeared, but the Ratman who was captured for a comparison test can easily open the gate of the subspace.

"Except for well-trained navigators, other alien captives have to use spices to assist in resonating with crystals. Just ignite the spices or take spiced water, and they will soon enter the state of meditative resonance!" The researcher analyzed.

"Is that because spices don't work on humans, and then lack of training to reach the level of professional navigators, so they have been unable to meditate and resonate with crystals?" another researcher said.

"Probably!"

Judging from the performance of the Ratman captives, this spice has the same effect on them as hawthorn. After all, the genes and physiological structure of aliens are different from those of humans, so it is normal that the spice does not work.

Moreover, although these spices are minerals, they are actually very complex macromolecular materials, which are almost impossible to synthesize, at least at the current level of human technology.

"This mysterious spice is between minerals and organic matter, and its formation mechanism is temporarily unknown, but judging from the information provided by the aliens, it is likely to be a liquid secreted by some kind of giant creature, which has a strange interaction with the minerals on the planet. function, that's why it has this effect!" The big guy in biochemistry explained.

They tested these spices and came to the conclusion that blue star creatures are not affected by it, but aliens have this substance receptor in their bodies, so it will change their mental state.

Just when the big boss on the rabbit side was disappointed with the space crystal and wanted to announce the cat and mouse aliens to the public, and let the two countries, the bald eagle and the furry bear, explore the way, the bald boss discovered the "space crystal". Crystal" really works.

"This kind of crystal is the cosmic high-energy crystal!" Li Maoye said.

In order to prove his point, he even designed a brand new energy device, which can produce the specified energy just by putting a small piece of crystal in it.

The most popular energy source in human society is electricity, so this kind of energy device will specialize in the production of electricity after being set up. A steady stream of high-energy electricity gushes out from the small device, as if there are more than a dozen large nuclear reactors inside!
But compared to a reactor, it is like a battery with endless energy. As long as the high-energy crystals are not exhausted, the energy device can provide sufficient power to cities with a population of tens of millions.

"In fact, electricity is just a form of energy, and there is a huge space energy, which can greatly increase the power of the curvature engine..." Li Maoye demonstrated.

He made a small modification to the curvature engine. He only needed to insert a space crystal into a groove to ensure that the curvature engine would not lack energy for hundreds of years of continuous operation.

In the process, enough energy can be provided to the spacecraft, and the reactor is not needed for power supply at all.

"This, this is really amazing!"

"Is this the future energy technology?"

"Clean and simple, and nearly infinite!"

Everyone was shocked by the value of this kind of space crystal. Under the explanation of the bald man, they thought that the method of the cat and mouse aliens was simply a waste of money. It wastes the space crystal energy to a great extent.

On the contrary, Li Maoye's approach is more in line with human needs. Faced with the desire for endless energy, the Rabbit authorities decided to let the expedition fleet continue to stand by around the cat and mouse galaxy.

If it is just for a few planets, the peace-loving rabbit will definitely not take the initiative to provoke troubles and fight an interstellar war with aliens, but if it is for high-energy crystals, then you have to think carefully.

The countries on the blue star don't know much about the rabbit's encounter with aliens, but considering that there may be conflicts with one of the aliens in the future, the rabbit decided to gradually release information about the aliens.

Especially in the space development cooperation team, we have to consider the ideas of the bald eagle and the bear. After all, they have already guessed that the rabbit has had contact with aliens. If they still insist that they have not encountered aliens, it is true It is really unreasonable.

Even if the rabbit doesn't want to bring the members of the group to play together, it's fine, if you have to tell the other party a little bit of the truth, that's really too much.

Now let them listen to the news of the cat and mouse galaxy, maybe they will come up with a better way to deal with it, maybe the warlike bald eagles and bears will take the initiative to volunteer and be willing to serve as cannon fodder for the interstellar war.

"However, this approach has the risk of getting out of control. After all, the space crystal is not under our control. If the Bald Eagle and other countries get the crystal vein, they will probably have a super-light speed navigation technology!" The expert think tank analyzed.

There is indeed such a possibility, but the rabbit is very lenient about this kind of thing, thinking that even if it hides it from other countries this time, it probably won't be able to do it next time.

After all, the Ratmen spacecraft can travel faster than the speed of light. If Princess Liya and the crystal mine are important to them, they might appear in the solar system someday.

"Unless we strike first!"

"No, let the bald eagle and the bear explore the way!"

"Our space fleet is so powerful, why worry about a planet whose industrial revolution has just begun!"

Everyone has different views on how to decide this kind of thing. At present, it seems that there is no unanimous opinion, and it is justified to respond to all changes with the same.

However, some information about the member states can be disclosed publicly, such as aliens are divided into two different races, and the rat-men aliens are not very friendly, etc.

In the end, the rabbit gave everyone a reassurance, telling the two guys, the bald eagle and the bear, that the technological civilization of the cat and mouse galaxy is far lower than that of the blue star, and the difference in weapons between the two sides is very large. There are many points, and the subspace navigation technology is relatively weird, and the Blue Star humans are far ahead in other places.

The number of Ratmen in Yatania is not clear, not even the Tristan Empire. After all, there are a total of thirteen habitable planets in the Cat and Mouse Galaxy, and it is impossible to accurately count them at the level of the Industrial Revolution.

However, the rabbit's population experts have estimated this number, and believe that the number of Yatania rat people is at least [-] billion, which is much more than the [-] billion population of Blue Star humans.

"This is not good news!"

"If the other party reaches Blue Star through subspace navigation technology, I am afraid that human beings will suffer a great impact. No matter whether the other party's technological civilization is very low, even if they use human sea tactics, they will be able to overwhelm us!"

"There is indeed such a risk. After all, the birth and growth of rat people are faster than humans. It is said that the lifespan of ordinary rat people is only about 20 years. Only members of the royal family can prolong their lives through secret methods..."

"Cat people are similar, so from this point of view, demihumans have great flaws!"

Because the lifespan is too short, civilization iterations are very frequent. If the war is turbulent, it is easy to fall into a cyclical endless loop, so it will not develop in the era of electrical industry for millions of years.

There are also capable people among the bald eagle and the bear. Of course, they understand what the rabbit is doing, but the advantage in the hands of the rabbit is too strong, whether it is information or technology, it is far superior to other Blue Star countries.

If it continues to develop like this, it is very likely that rabbits will ascend to the whole country, leaving other countries trapped in the solar system and unable to get out.

Now the cat and mouse galaxy and the space crystal do give them a chance to break the situation, so despite the possibility of being used as a gun, both the bald eagle and the bear strongly request to send troops to participate.

"This is a matter for all mankind!"

"That's right! We must advance and retreat together!"

It is rare for the eagle and bear countries to have a common view on one matter, and then they keep proposing to use the "teleportation point" to go to the outer galaxy...
