Deep Space Fleet

Time passed in a hurry, and 10 years passed again.

Zhang Yuan enjoyed this carefree student time very much. The new human civilization is in a state of long-term population shortage, and the upward path is smooth. As long as there is a sufficient level of knowledge, various research institutes are all robbing people, and they don't have to worry about finding good jobs.

The learning atmosphere in the spaceship is strong, and there are many like-minded partners. Just like the four members of his small family, all of them are scientific researchers. It would be unimaginable if they were placed on the earth.

As long as you study hard, you can become a "big boss". Such a fair and just thing is rarely seen in other virtual worlds.

After 10 years of struggle, he is already a researcher in the "13th Research Institute" of New Human Civilization. In this institute, there are more than 20,000 experts from all walks of life serving the whole society.

He is engaged in the most cutting-edge "subatomic science theory" and related supermagnetic vector engine research. Due to the relatively long time required for this project, in order to ensure work continuity, he did not perform military service or hibernate during these years.

The current engine technology is so complicated that he is no longer familiar with it.

It took Zhang Yuan a lot of effort to learn the most cutting-edge direction in these years, and tried to make a series of improvements to it. Today, he finally achieved good results.

The hatch opened slowly, and the "Bright Galaxy" was seen from the outer space of the universe. The rotating centrifugal wheel and complex mechanical structure were full of a complex aesthetic feeling. The structure of the "Bright Galaxy" is a bit like a mountain on top of a disc. And they are on the top of the mountain at the moment.

Through the vision system that comes with the Power Armor, you can also see the "Kunlun Mountain" tens of thousands of kilometers away, emitting orderly light.

The surrounding large and small warships are sailing at high speed, and there is always a wonderful idea that "human beings are very powerful".

After a few minutes, all the testers are due, excitedly discussing what the final result will be this time, whether it will be successful, etc...

"Zhang Yuan, are you nervous?" a girl in the group asked.

"Don't be nervous! What is there to be nervous about is something that has been successful, it has been tested many times!" Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "If there is a temporary error, it can only mean that it itself is not qualified."

The mass of this small unmanned spaceship for testing is roughly equivalent to that of a fighter jet in the past, which is about ten tons.

The goal of his team is to enable small spaceships to bend like flies in space at high speeds, and the higher the requirements for maneuverability, the better. This kind of requirement is an abnormal requirement for the various indicators of the engine. It has a mass of ten tons, but it has to be as flexible as a fly.

But it is often a common topic of interstellar civilization. If the standard is still the same as that of the earth, wouldn't it be no progress?

"Test—start!"

In an empty cosmic space, a point of white light flashes brightly, which is the image of the engine ejecting high-energy pulses, and the surrounding observation instruments are recording data in this regard.

"Amazing achievement! The performance of the vectoring engine has increased by about 5.2% compared to the previous one, which is a very good result." An old professor with gray hair looked at the parameters on the screen, applauded first, and commented happily.

"Very good, finally able to catch up with the replacement of the next generation of warships."

Everyone knows what engine technology means to a civilization. Whether it is a military or a civilian spaceship, only a powerful engine is truly powerful.

Zhang Yuan also reported a series of parameters: "...the particle injection produces extremely high temperatures. This kind of engine can theoretically run normally for 3,000 hours, after which a certain degree of maintenance is required. Compared with previous advanced engines, the time It has been improved for a hundred hours."

"I would also like to thank all members of the research group for their support."

After hearing this achievement, all the people in the research institute applauded. Zhang Yuan bowed slightly and exhaled lightly. Don't look at the small value of 5.2%. Most scientific research results are accumulated bit by bit with small progress.

There are so many geniuses in this era, and the bones that are easy to gnaw have long been gnawed away. It is almost impossible to complete a qualitative change all at once.

He still likes to engage in scientific research work very much.

Every job has its own unique pleasure. He was the captain of the Kunlun Mountains, the captain of the ocean-going fleet in the Middle Ages, an inventor in the steam age, and even a thinker.

But what he likes most is still like this, to calm down and study the most advanced high technology. It doesn't involve so many power struggles, and it feels pretty good. If the power struggles in a world are too intense, it means that the internal consumption is greater, and such a civilization does not have much potential for growth.

It's just right now.

The old professor's name is Xue Xin, or Mr. Xue, and he said with a smile: "Zhang Yuan, regarding your excellent work, plus some previous papers, it is already worthy of the title of outstanding youth! If you Diplomatic teams who want to enter the Huantai trading market also need to submit a declaration from the relevant government departments, which can be regarded as talents recommended by our 13th research institute."

"In a few years, we will be able to reach the trading market, which is really an exciting journey. I don't know what we can gain in the market."

He liked the bright boy very much.

To put it bluntly, everyone likes smart and hardworking people.

"Thank you, Mr. Xue!" Zhang Yuan nodded happily.

"Oh, by the way, how old are you?"

"28."

"You're so young... In the next few years, I still have to learn more things, and I can't slack off. It's not good to be surpassed by my peers. Especially Cao Man from the 12th Research Institute, Ding Yi from the 8th Research Institute, And...haha, there are so many talents in this era!"

Professor Xue has experienced the era when the auxiliary brain has not yet appeared, and the technology has stagnated severely, even stagnating for hundreds of years, so he can't help feeling a little bit sad.

For the elderly like them, that era, that is, two or three hundred years ago, was an era when human beings were on the verge of despair.

If intelligence cannot be improved, basically all technologies have been excavated, and no matter what industry you are in, you will not be able to make great achievements. So what is the meaning of human struggle? The academic atmosphere was sluggish bit by bit, and various ideologies began to breed. Human beings just relied on historical inertia to continue interstellar travel—until the birth of the auxiliary brain brought back the power of science.

Therefore, these elderly people cherish this era of technological explosion and happiness.

"... You must know that the new human beings are on the verge of death, only one foot is missing. In that era, many people felt that they should stop and return to our hometown, and some people thought that technology was enough! Yes Yes, they feel that science and technology are enough, and we don’t need to develop productivity anymore! A life of great affluence can be easily achieved.”

The old man Xue kept on trying to educate young people to be enterprising, not to be stumped by the slightest difficulty, and so on.
