Chapter 587 Target - Tabby Star! (End of this volume)

When Zhang Yuan saw these parameters, he couldn't help but wrinkle his nose, 2 light points. This number is just a very small number in astronomical units. The distance from the sun to the earth is 1 astronomical unit equivalent to 8.3 light points. 1 light year is also equal to 63241 astronomical units.

But for human high-precision equipment, it is another big number.

On curvature missiles, it is impossible to install super telescopes with a diameter of several kilometers, nor can they install super-high power radars. How can it find a small target and then guide it accurately?

As for other space weapons, lasers, ion cannons, etc., they do not even have guidance capabilities after being fired, and the distance they can hit is within 2 light seconds.

Yes, only 2 light seconds!

An electromagnetic cannon with a lower speed can only hit within 0.5 light seconds.

Ordinary nuclear bombs are so slow that they can only use drones to project at close range.

"In other words, distance is still the best way to protect civilizations."

"In short, curvature missiles are the only weapon that can cause high damage to curvature spacecraft at ultra-long distances, so we still need to develop... vigorously develop!"

There was silence in the conference room, and some members of parliament who didn't know much about it began to whisper and discuss.

Zhang Yuan swallowed, what does this general mean? He just took this opportunity to ask for money nakedly!

Isn’t one of the curvature missiles equal to a spaceship? A curvature engine must be installed on the missile, supercomputer with ultra-high computing, and a dark matter tracking device to vaguely judge the other party’s traces. The cost is ridiculously high!

Oh, by the way, it’s already so expensive. The destructive power of this missile must be amazing. You have to use the most powerful antimatter inside!

Even so, the hit rate is still extremely low, one in ten thousand?

Zhang Yuan licked his dry lips. Seeing the captain lady on the stage looking ugly, he couldn't help but feel happy... Fortunately, he was not the captain of this era.

Fortunately, the entire civilization is strong enough, otherwise it would not be able to bear such high-end weapons at all.

The general ignored the experts responsible for state funding: "... Through long-term military exercises, we believe that the action venue for level 4 civilizations is no longer limited to cosmic strings, but instead avoid cosmic strings as much as possible, because when war begins near cosmic strings, high gravitational fluctuations will destroy curvature motion."

"If we lose our curvature navigation, even if we are stronger than the third-level civilization, it will become a difference between fifty and one hundred steps... We don't need to be at the same starting line as the third-level civilization."

Next, the screen shows the cellular combat mode at sub-light speed.

Because the communication environment of the spacecraft is very poor under super-light speed state, sub-light speed environment war will become the mainstream war mode for level 4 civilizations.

The swarm of drones were like a flash of lightning, which wiped out the targets on the planet in an instant, and even this "target defense system" had not yet reacted.

All kinds of differences and video displays made Zhang Yuan dazzled.

He didn't know whether it was powerful or not. At least it looked pretty good and was quite gimmick. With his nerve reflex speed and field of vision, it was impossible to observe a sub-light speed spacecraft in a semi-invisible state.

However, the problem is that the cost of "curvature" drone is amazingly high. It must be equipped with a quark energy chamber and curvature engine. The production capacity is limited. It is not like traditional drones, which are disposable consumables... It is actually about the same cost as a manned spacecraft. If you want to form a swarm, the budget is a lot of money.

The last part is to showcase the latest weapons: electromagnetic kinetic energy weapons, nuclear weapons, lasers, ion cannons, etc., all of which are old toys, but they have been upgraded.

The latest toy is a photon torpedo, which is an antimatter weapon and a special electromagnetic pulse bomb that can specifically disrupt battlefield communications.

"If a person has no future intentions, he will have immediate worries!"

"We will not choose to invade others, but we should have the ability to defend ourselves... I hope these weapons can allow us to protect ourselves in future crises! Thank you everyone!"

After the military representative finished his speech, there was a burst of applause from the audience.

Next, the civilizations of both sides began to discuss the future development direction, and most people still felt that they should go out and communicate with other civilizations.

Keep staying here and researching slowly may make some progress, but it will definitely not make any progress as quickly as it was at the beginning. The techniques that can be mined are almost completed.

In addition, the six large motherships are about to be completed, and the latest curvature engines will be installed, and the test flight will be started after a while.

So, after some discussion, people discussed their own target Tabixing!

That is the Dyson ball!

This is the goal that has been drawn after a long period of discussion.

Tabi Star, codenamed kic8462852, has been observing this planet for a long time.

In the 21st century, humans have discovered this planet with periodic changes in luminous intensity. Scientists at that time were puzzled and thought that there were some celestial bodies that periodically blocked the star.

But after long-term observation, people finally identified it as a Dyson ball, and then determined that there was a more powerful alien civilization in the universe, which caused a huge panic at that time!

Speaking of which, this Dyson ball has a certain connection with the "Earth Age" plan.

If this Dyson ball was not observed, people might still be addicted to the idea that "human beings are the only intelligent life in the universe", just like a tribal chief in an isolated island, proud of their rule over the entire island...

The discovery of Dyson's ball had a huge impact on humans at that time. First, it proved the existence of alien life. Secondly... this is simply a powerful and powerful way to create the world, the difference between the sky and the ant!

Whether it is panic or excitement, Dyson's discovery at this moment has had a profound impact on the history of the entire human society.

Of course, since the development has reached now, people are no longer unfamiliar with alien civilizations, but there is still only one Dyson ball found in the Milky Way.

This is very mysterious and weird...

As far as humans know, Dyson Ball is really useless. It is just a large solar panel that can collect all the energy of a star. It is indeed very, very powerful, but the fourth-level civilization will not lack energy. Why do it? Even if it really lacks energy, it can build thousands of quark energy energy chambers instead of building the extremely difficult Dyson Ball.

This is very strange.

It was not until later that people had vague speculations in their minds.

According to the star road map exchanged from the fourth-level civilization, it is a gathering place for a large number of interstellar civilizations, about 400 light years away from its current location, and members of the Amoeba faction formed a trading market there.

In other words, a planet with periodic brightness changes can naturally attract the attention of interstellar civilizations. It has become the most important symbol of the Cantilever of the Orion, and most interstellar civilizations will become interested in it.

Combining these kinds of things, humans are still very willing to go to that place to explore the final one, and by the way, they also want to invite the ally of Toss civilization to go with them. One more ally will always have more strength.

However, after thinking for a long time, the Toss rejected this plan: "I'm sorry, friends of the new human civilization, we are indeed very interested in that Dyson ball. But we have just gained visual perception, and it will take a long time to popularize this technology into the entire civilization."

"After having optical perception, we collectively believe that my civilized technology tree is really too incomplete. We need to adapt to this new perception ability and develop corresponding technologies for optical perception to adapt to the new era. Therefore, we plan to continue to develop here for about hundreds of years."

"We will only choose to go there after this."

The choice of Toss civilization is also within people's expectations, because people have obviously discovered this defect during long-term contact. It is quite reasonable for the other party to choose this way.

Having a new perception, we must first study its safety, and then slowly popularize, adapt, and develop new adaptive technologies. Maybe all existing mechanical equipment must be modified, and this project is very large.

And humans do not need to wait for three to five hundred years specifically. The so-called friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. Most of the time, people still have to rely on themselves.

In this way, after the meeting, all the Toss people boarded their own spacecraft and prepared to leave. Before leaving, people also gave away some cheap technologies, such as LCD screens, foldable personal mobile phones, clocks, computers, VR glasses, etc. These technologies are cheap, but they are very useful.

If the other party really adopts these things, they may have more common topics when they meet in the future.

Finally, the two sides bid farewell to each other.

"May your civilization always progress..."

A standard interstellar etiquette.

Life that truly knows the connotation of this set of etiquette will never be despised by it, and will all know its thickness.

As a representative of civilization, Zhang Yuan bent over slightly: "I also hope that your civilization can keep improving."

"Goodbye, friends."

...

The Toss civilization started its own spacecraft and left, and the new human civilization will also embark on a new journey...
