I was exposed for mining on Mars

There was no expression on Ferma's face, but a fire of anger burned in his heart.

Unexpectedly, as the commander of one of the main fleets of the cruising fleet, he had been fighting in many galaxies in the Cygnus Arm for many years, but he never expected that he would be 'teased' by a primitive civilization.

But what concerned him a little was, why did a primitive civilization have anti-matter weapons? This is an advanced weapon that even the Cygnus civilization has not developed.

Could it be that the other party obtained some technological products of advanced civilization, or even a technological library?

When he thought of this, Fermat couldn't sit still.

He looked at Qiong and said: "This news came from the base camp in the name of the new chairman of the cruise fleet. Is it possible that it is a trap?"

Qiong was stunned for a moment, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

"What do you mean, Commander?"

"Before, Demigod used self-sacrifice to break away from the connection with the cruising fleet. Even if the base camp is really completely destroyed by an unknown force, the new speaker of the ascended parliament may not be able to He was so kind, maybe he just wanted us to be buried with him."

Since Demigod was dismissed, the person who served as the new speaker was no longer a member of Kasakuk's Ascendants, so Ferma had such an idea.

And this is not impossible. After all, for the Cygnus civilization, these vassal races are just tools. Now that it can't even take care of its own safety, will it still 'help' them out of danger?

"Then the Commander-in-Chief means that we won't go to Centaur Alpha?"

Qiong asked carefully.

"Go, of course we have to go. Now we have become a wandering civilization, just like a rootless tree. To maintain supplies for such a large fleet, we must occupy a habitable planet before we can make a comeback."

"However, in order to avoid accidents, we must first conduct an in-depth exploration of the other party's civilization from a safe distance. Only after we obtain a firm conclusion can we decide what to do next."

Ferma stood up and looked out the window at the boundless darkness and said.

"Your Majesty Commander, you are absolutely right. I will make arrangements right away."

"Go ahead."

…

This side of the solar system.

One year has passed since the return of Ferma's main fleet was discovered.

Under Luo Xiu's series of orders, the three major civilizations began to prepare for war.

Of course, the most important task is to produce Qinhuang class battleships, which will be the main force in this battle.

However, in this year, with the integration of the military technologies of the three civilizations, starship humans have made breakthrough progress in their research on strong interaction materials.

While Luo Xiu was observing the progress of the experiments on the synthetic ascension of people from Planet B on Centaur B, his quantum communication device lit up.

The control system immediately reminded: "Sir Commander, there is important communication coming from the starship. Do you want to answer it now?"

"Wait a minute, Gou Wen, save the test video here. I'll watch it later."

Luo Xiu confessed to Gou Wen, then walked to a room prepared for him alone before turning on the communication device.

Xue He's excited expression immediately came from the communication device.

"Sir Commander, good news. The latest strong interaction material has made breakthrough progress. Various strength tests have been completed. The data shows that it is much superior to the materials we use to manufacture all warships now. This is the data. "

After Xue He finished speaking, he passed the documents over.

Luo Xiu took a brief look, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Judging from the data, the strength of the latest strong interaction materials can be said to be several times higher than the materials they originally used to make warships.

But this is understandable. After all, strong interaction materials are formed by the combination of atomic-level forces, and the gaps between atoms are hundreds of times smaller than traditional materials.

According to the data in Luo Xiu's hands, even anti-matter weapons may not be able to destroy it.

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly flashed in Luo Xiu's mind.

"Xue He, this research result is very important. It can be said that it will change the mode of war in the future. You are now adding two research projects. One is to start manufacturing warships using this strong interaction material. I want to see the design drawings. The second is to start Develop antimatter thrusters."

Luo Xiu said directly.

"Commander, I can understand your thoughts, but, but..."

"But what?" Luo Xiu suddenly felt dissatisfied when he saw Xue He hesitating.

"But the latest strong interaction materials can only be produced in research laboratories, and there is still a long way to go before they are put into production. As for antimatter thrusters, I am afraid that there is currently no material that can withstand its destructive power."

Xue He said with a wry smile.

Luo Xiu waved the material in his hand and said, "Isn't the answer here? Judging from the data, the improved strong interaction material is extremely strong and is extremely suitable for developing antimatter thrusters."

"As for the mass production of strong interaction materials, that is the work of your scientific research department. Blue Star and Starship will fully cooperate with you."

"Yes, what about Proxima b civilization?" Xue He thought Luo Xiu had forgotten, and immediately reminded him.

"This research project is keeping them secret for now."

After Luo Xiu finished speaking, he hung up the communication.

Although the results of strong interaction materials were obtained from the Alpha Centaur civilization, they were originally used to deal with the three-day volley and did not develop in a militarized direction at all.

However, the research background of Centaur α civilization in this area is not something that Blue Star and Starship civilization can catch up with in a short time.

Luo Xiu didn't want to hand over this huge weapon that determined the future fate of the race into the hands of a civilization that could not be fully trusted.

He thought about it again in the room. If the latest version of the strong mutual material is really energy-producible, then the warships manufactured accordingly can also reach a certain scale in the remaining nine years.

Then should we tilt the resources originally used to produce Qin Huang-class battleships in this direction? This problem needs to be simulated carefully.

Even if a warship made of strong mutual materials is very powerful, if it cannot achieve scale, it will not be able to affect the battle situation.

With this thought, Luo Xiu wore exoskeleton armor and walked to the laboratory where Gou Wen was. At this time, Gou Wen was still outside the laboratory recording the experimental process of Centaur B.

In the laboratory, a person from Planet B was seen on the operating table. Under the operation of dozens of precision instruments, his original earthy skin had turned into an almost transparent color.

"Is this?" Luo Xiu looked at this scene with some surprise.

"This is the result of the reorganization of cell genes. The cells have become more adaptable to the environment. Combined with the unique physique of these B-Star people, they can completely withstand the next round of three-day volley, and their expected life span has also increased. The original period of only fifty years has been extended to two hundred years." Gou Wen explained.

Gou Wen, who has mechanically ascended, is already very good at controlling data. These experimental data are as if they are engraved in his mind, and there is no need to read the data at all.

Luo Xiu nodded and said: "It turns out that the members of the Proxima b civilization have such a special physique, but their life span is much shorter than that of the Blue Star people. Is this all caused by their physique?"

Gou Wen nodded, agreeing with Luo Xiu's statement.

Luo Xiu patted his robotic arm, and then whispered to him: "Remember to save part of the genetic samples of all Planet B people before they are completely transformed. This may be helpful for our future genetic ascension."

Gou Wen glanced at Luo Xiu with his mechanical eyes, and then nodded.

Although he had lost a lot of human emotions after becoming a mechanical ascendant, at this moment, he still felt a sense of regret.

As for what he regretted, he couldn't remember.

After leaving the laboratory, Luo Xiu had a brief meeting with the speaker and congressmen of Centaur B, then inspected several military bases producing Qinhuang-class battleships, and immediately used the jump ring to return to the solar system.

With Gou Wen collecting data on Alpha Centauri, he no longer has to waste his energy on this.

In addition to the construction of ships and the defense of Alpha Centauri, he now wants to see warships made of new strong interaction materials.

So as soon as he returned to the solar system, Luo Xiu went directly to the Starship Research Institute.

As soon as he entered the main research room, he saw a three-dimensional head-shaped projection in the laboratory slowly rotating in mid-air.

It looked like a rugby enlarged ten times, no more than five meters long, and no more than three meters at its widest point.

And unlike ordinary machinery, its surface is extremely smooth, as if it is coated with a layer of mercury to form a reflective mirror.

Luo Xiu believes that if it flies in space, it may not be far enough away and existing detection methods will not be able to detect it.

"Commander, you are here. This is the design of the battleship with strong interaction materials that we designed."

Xue He, who returned to the solar system with Luo Xiu, pointed at the 'football' and said.

"With the ship in such condition, the endurance problem should be huge, right?" Luo Xiu said with a frown.

It's not surprising that he thinks so. After all, the shells of traditional cannons are only one circle thinner than it, and some people believe it is a space torpedo.

Upon hearing this, Xue He smiled slightly and said: "Commander, there is nothing we can do about it. If we add more materials, this warship will be too heavy. After our calculations, even with an anti-matter engine, it will not be able to sustain its endurance." Too long."

"Too heavy?"

When Luo Xiu heard this, he immediately realized the problem.

Yes, according to research data, strong interaction materials increase the strength of the material by compressing the gaps between atoms.

So although the same volume of strongly interacting material is stronger, it also has greater mass.

He had ignored this question before, "What about combat performance? Has it been tested?"

Faced with Luo Xiu's question, Xue He responded directly, "Commander, let us explain the situation through the test results."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a Qinhuang-class warship appeared on the stereoscopic projection. In comparison, this warship made of strong materials was simply a mouse next to an elephant, out of proportion at all.

When the test began, the Qinhuang-class warship immediately began its first round of fire tilt, but what surprised Luo Xiu was that in this hail of bullets, the warship made of strong interaction materials did not even move.

"You also see that conventional munitions cannot even cause a little damage to the surface of strong interaction materials, and then there are the tests of anti-matter weapons."

As Xue He finished speaking, several dark holes appeared on the Qinhuang-class battleship.

Then a wave of space distortion spread around, and the anti-matter weapon was launched.

But the result was completely shocking. Although the warship made of strong interaction materials was hit and moved a certain distance to the side, there was still no damage to the surface.

The powerful ability of antimatter material to swallow matter failed at this moment.

Luo Xiu couldn't help but nodded, seemingly satisfied with the result.

But this is not over yet. Next, it is the turn of the strong interaction warships to start attacking.

It did not fire any weapons, but crashed headlong into the Qinhuang-level war sword.

This brutal attack made Luo Xiu rub his chin.

But the result was not beyond his expectation. Since anti-matter weapons couldn't do anything to it, warships made of traditional materials would naturally be like paper in front of it.

The strong interaction warship directly penetrated the propeller and ammunition compartment of the Qinhuang-class warship, and then the latter exploded in clusters.

Simple and crude, but very efficient and saves ammunition.

Luo Xiu smiled and said: "It seems that being small has its advantages. This warship hasn't been named yet, right? Let's call it a ghost-class warship from now on. It suits it well to attack the opponent in the shadows."

"Yes." Xue He lowered his head to Luo Xiu and agreed.

"It's just that it is very difficult to produce this new type of strong interaction material. Traditional military base shipyards cannot produce it at all. We need to rebuild workshops and shipyards that specialize in the production of this material." Xue He said.

"The staff at the research base are only responsible for research and development, and the rest can be left to others. As long as this ghost battleship reaches a certain scale, we will have greater confidence in this war." Luo Xiu solemnly said to Xue He.

"This research on strong interaction materials has made first-class achievements. When there is a breakthrough in gene ascension technology in the future, you can use it first."

"Thank you, Commander." Xue He's eyes flashed with excitement.

Luo Xiu's promise is the greatest gospel to these scientific research madmen. It's no wonder Xue He is so happy.

"Okay, you go ahead and try to simplify the production technology of strong interaction materials so that we can produce more ghost battleships."

Luo Xiu and Xue He talked about the progress of other recent projects in the institute before leaving.

Luo Xiu, who had just left, did not take any time off. He had just inquired about the strong interaction materials and went directly to the person in charge of the starship humans to explain the situation of the research institute to him.

"Choose a secret place and we will start building a new type of warship. This is the top secret of our starship civilization."

"As you command, Commander."

The new members of the starship human race respect Luo Xiu from the bottom of their hearts, and of course they obey his orders unconditionally and never ask any questions.

After everything here was almost explained, Luo Xiu finally arrived at the lunar research base.

This is where the synthetic ascension technology was developed, and he wants to understand the details and hidden dangers of this technology in detail.

Although this is currently the most acceptable way to extend his life, Luo Xiu also wants to know the disadvantages of this technology.

If after accepting this kind of synthetic ascension, he could not continue to undergo genetic ascension in the future, then he would have to think about it carefully.
