Deep Space Fleet

Because there are no satellites or planes, the philosophy of the Taipu civilization still generally stays in the era of giant ships and cannons. The more troops there are, the more fierce the artillery, and the higher the combat effectiveness of either side. And in order to overcome air friction, the mass of the shell is extremely huge, which is exactly an enlarged version of the shell that humans once had.

In addition to the giant ships and cannons, there is also a war mode-that is, the use of airboats to transport missiles and bombard them to the ground.

"War never goes away ..."

看 Just watching the TV room, a huge streamlined airship arrived, O'Brien hurriedly ate his breakfast, and boarded the airship with the crowd of passengers.

Immediately afterwards, the air pump rang suddenly and suddenly inflated into the surrounding sub-airbags. As the volume of the sub-airbags increased, the airboat was lifted off very smoothly.

The highest speed of this kind of airboat code-named "Lin Qibai" can reach 80 kilometers per hour. In the city, each public airboat has its own air route, and its rated speed can reach about 50 kilometers per hour.

Fortunately, there are direct links between the stations, and there are no intermediate stations, so this speed is still acceptable.

Because there is no way to build high-rise buildings, the unit of land can accommodate a small population. This civilized residence is like farmland, spread out neatly, and the central core area must be an empty boat parking place.

O'Brien works at the Observatory's Meteorological Office, 50 kilometers away, and can be reached within an hour.

他 When he arrived at the Astronomical and Meteorological Observatory, he found that the atmosphere inside was normal, and most of his colleagues got together to chat casually. The day of work had not officially started yet.

Astronomical and meteorological station is mainly responsible for the exploration of outer space and meteorological monitoring.

Of course ... it's the latter.

The airboat navigation system has very high requirements on the climate. Whether it is windy or heavy rain, it may cause traffic paralysis. This also requires meteorological stations to be able to predict weather conditions more accurately and issue timely notifications.

O'Brien's biggest wish is to launch a real weather satellite ... There was such a project in the plan, but it ended up because the technology was too difficult and the funding requirements were too high.

The whole country is very difficult to manufacture aerial vehicles, let alone launch rockets.

So the funds for star exploration are very, very small. Everyone thinks that after a few years of technology development, consider this matter. Maybe it can save a lot of money?

And I have never used satellites, and most of the Tap people do n’t think this kind of thing is very urgent. Ca n’t I live well without satellites, or can I accurately predict the weather? These meteorologists alone are eager for satellites, but the appeal of these experts is often useless.

"Tomorrow is another new tomorrow. The government ’s annual appropriation will be several million. At most, a not too large astronomical telescope and satellite will be maintained? According to such a speed of development, there will be no next century!

O'Brien sneered, and kept complaining about the politicians' eyes. Without visible benefits, politicians cannot transfer funds.

A large number of scientists are sharpening their heads and thinking about how to make the airboat fly higher. All the funds are invested in the airboat. Since the previous plan failed, the Taps have been too lazy to consider another aircraft that can produce qualitative changes. Many people even think that it is impossible for an iron golem to be able to fly in the air.

"What's the weather like today?" Just thinking, a colleague greeted him.

This is not a random greeting, but their job.

Because there are no satellites, climate observations must be done through the airboat observation platform above. Radio communications and computer technology have already appeared on this planet.

O'Brien glanced at the data on the computer and looked back: "There shouldn't be too many problems ... Of course it's just my empirical judgment. Now our region is under high pressure, and there is a probability of sinking airflow and rainfall. Scarce ... the air humidity is not high. "

"It's another easy day." The colleague stretched a laziness lazily as if he didn't wake up.

At this moment, suddenly, a computer in the next room issued a "didi" alert sound.

"It looks like the radio interferometer has observed a signal from outer space."

This kind of thing is not once or twice, any neutron star, pulsar, or even solar wind may have electromagnetic wave signals. The planet's atmosphere is thick enough that even the most violent solar wind has a negligible effect on the planet.

我 "Let's go check it out, it's good to record it."

O'Brien trot over and recorded these signals into a storage device. He suddenly discovered that these signals had certain rules, but they were more like the general telegraph code of the Taipu civilization.

"Fortunately, I have learned the language of the telegram ..." He scratched his head and hit the keyboard, and the whole translation came out all at once.

"Unknown civilization, hello, we are human civilization from afar, coming with peace and goodwill."

"We follow the principle of equality and free trade, everything can be bought and everything can be sold, as long as you can pay the corresponding price ..."

"We ..."

When I saw this line of text, the colleague who came around to make fun of me laughed, "I bet, a guy doing nothing sent this message on the airboat ... even the password is our telegram password, so it is not ours The Tap people inadvertently conquered the universe? "

"What bet? A lunch or lunch? I asked you." O'Brien didn't care much, and started trying to control the space telescope: "But the direction of the radio waves really comes from space."

"Their spacecraft stays above the atmosphere, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is really fake? You are so boring, so you have to look for it, be careful to be scolded by the stationmaster." The colleague is still next door. Keeping this, staring at the screen: "Hey ?!"

"what is this?!"

His voice suddenly increased, almost from plain words, suddenly turned into a huge scream!

"Aliens ... aliens!"

A large group of colleagues heard this scream and hurried over, thinking that something had really happened.

渺 A tiny shadow really appeared in the telescope!

It seems that ... staying at an altitude of 60,000 kilometers, no empty boat can fly to an altitude of 60,000 kilometers, where there is no atmosphere at all.

死 The dead silence in the air is simply incredible!

Aliens, aliens have really appeared.

泰 Each Taipu person held his breath, as if the brain was down, and after a few seconds, the organic spirit quickly ran to find the leader.

"Adjust the resolution ten times more!" The webmaster of the meteorological station heard the news and hurried over, he said in a trembling voice.

O'Brien swallowed a spit, and her face didn't look good.

影子 The shadow on the screen gradually becomes clear.

You can see that there is not only one spaceship, but ... 10 ships!

There are 10 spaceships in total, moving above the atmosphere!
