Deep Space Fleet

Seeing the students who were so excited and eager to brag in front of others, Zhang Yuan quickly changed the subject: "Okay, students, although this secret is not top secret, we should keep it as secret as possible. It’s not appropriate for everyone to know.”

"We have a strategic partnership with the Toth civilization. If everything goes well, in the future, the curvature spacecraft from the interstellar trading market will take us away."

"But if those spaceships don't arrive on time, we have to rent large spaceships from the Toth civilization. After all, they have six motherships. In order to save time, we don't need to build one ourselves... In this way, the two civilizations will still A series of interest exchanges have to be carried out."

If a civilization wants to develop for a long time, it must consider all the things big and small.

The final stage of the grand plan of the entire neutron star collision requires the help of the interstellar trading market, but it cannot completely rely on the trading venue...

In case the trading market breaks the contract, the whole plan has to find a way to implement it.

The planetary fortress that already has basic power is currently moving at a distance of about 1.6 astronomical units from the two neutron stars, and its orbit is approximately an ellipse.

The upper planetary engine was only 20% on, and engineers put it through a final safety check.

When talking about this topic, all the students became even more excited. They have never been in contact with the so-called interstellar trading market, and some of them are looking forward to it, but also some are skeptical.

Looking at the students below, Zhang Yuan said, "If the spaceship from the interstellar trading market arrives on time, then these planetary engines will start on time, cut into the three-body movement, and everyone will escape from this star field. This is of course the best plan. "

"As for the poorer plan..."

"There are no cosmic strings in this star field. If the ion engine is used to propel it, it will take three hundred years of voyage time, which will undoubtedly affect the best observation time. Our probability of obtaining curvature technology will be lower by a few percentage points."

Seeing that it was almost time for class, Zhang Yuan changed the subject, "Okay, today's class is over here, everyone, let's finish class, sort out what you have learned, and I am interested in reading the literature on this topic, although the development has not been developed in recent years. If it’s too big, we’ll have to rely on ourselves to advance the work.”

"get out of class is over."

"goodbye teacher!"

A few students deliberately turned their heads and waved to him.

Zhang Yuan sorted out the documents in the briefcase, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw all the students leave the classroom.

Being a professor...it's the first time in the world, and sometimes it feels quite stressful.

This course is very difficult. These students are carefully selected, and their education is at least a master's level... However, compared to the high difficulty of the additional perception, a large number of people will still be eliminated.

In Deep Space University, he not only teaches masters and doctors, but also is responsible for the content of undergraduates, mainly in mathematics and the history of new civilizations.

What the teacher imparts is not only knowledge, but also the exporter of values.

Nowadays, children's primary and secondary education are all completed by robots, and generally there will be no major problems. The entire classification education process is quite mature, and robot teachers can complete the work in this area.

University, however, is different.

University is an important link between school and society. After graduating from high school, students will gain more freedom. How to adapt to this higher level of freedom is an important issue. For example, in the past civilizations on Earth, many excellent students degenerated in college. They got good grades in high school, but they couldn’t keep up in college; there are also some students It is a resurgence in the university, that is, subjective initiative has played a big role.

Coupled with the increase in the difficulty of learning, the distribution of social work and other important tasks, the university teachers are still human beings.

Well, for this type of human teachers, of course, the better the moral character, the better, and the higher the role model, the better.

Even the requirements for moral character are greater than academic requirements.

If the teacher's butt is crooked, the more knowledgeable the more reactionary, the group of students he teaches will of course become a social trouble.

Zhang Yuan doesn't have too many tasks now. Apart from teaching, communicating with the Tuos people to discuss cooperation projects, he will work hard to learn new knowledge when he has spare time, which is very pleasant.

"...The real research mission has not really started yet! Hey, I don't know if the spaceship from the trading market will arrive in time."

Zhang Yuan stretched his waist, came to the "big rice bucket canteen", and ordered a "Golden Spicy Chicken Roast Fragrant Rice Burger".

The big screen in front is showing the development of the entire civilization in recent years.

In the past 1,400 years of the new human civilization, most of the resources have been devoted to the construction of planetary engines. The resources and population used for technological innovation are not large, but scientific progress is not in vain.

The experience accumulated in long-term practice has brought about a great qualitative change in the field of human engineering. Many spaceships have been updated, including transport spaceships with super large carrying capacity, more powerful engines, etc. These experiences are not useless .

It can be seen on TV that countless spacecraft are coming and going over a Jupiter-like planet, collecting a large amount of nuclear fuel.

The purpose of collecting nuclear fuel is to manufacture various super-high-yield hydrogen bombs.

There are also various military spaceships with powerful maneuverability. These spaceships were manufactured in large quantities when the relationship with the Toth civilization deteriorated...

Even if the curvature technology is not obtained in this event, the performance of these spaceships can be called the pinnacle of a third-level civilization!

Of course, there is a huge gap between the spacecraft of the third-level civilization and the fourth-level civilization.

If the spaceships of Level 4 civilizations are compared to "supersonic stealth aircraft", the spaceships of Level 3 civilizations are just propeller planes during World War II. The spacecraft of the second-level civilization is equivalent to a wooden plane that can barely fly.

A fourth-level civilization fighting a third-level civilization is a slap in the face, or even directly zero loss.

But when the third-level civilization fights with the second-level civilization, although it is also a fight, it does not necessarily achieve zero loss.

This is also the main reason why some level 4 civilizations are unwilling to popularize curvature technology in large quantities, and even concluded some treaties in the trading market.

Curvature technology brings too much improvement in military strength and mobility.

If humans obtain curvature technology and are promoted to a fourth-level civilization, they may also sign a treaty in this regard.

As for the rest of the various industries, although there has not been a particularly large qualitative change, they have also developed. Every industry expands a little bit of results, and the technology tree naturally grows many shoots. Just waiting for an opportunity can quickly flourish.

"This period of time is not considered wasteful, it's okay... the development is now, it should be progressing slowly, how can we make great strides forward?"

After a rough overview of the scientific and technological achievements, Zhang Yuan felt quite satisfied.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, let's eat!"

While thinking about it, a capable man's voice came from his ears. It was the engineer Ye Kaifu. Like Zhang Yuan, he was one of the first pioneers to leave the earth.

When Zhang Yuan was still the captain of the Kunlun Mountain Fleet, Ye Kaifu was his right-hand man, responsible for logistics such as mining.

This kind of talent who is good at mining is of course forced to show up.

When Zhang Yuan saw this guy, he also showed a happy smile, "It's rare, today is your holiday? I'll treat you to golden chicken rice!"

The two chatted casually while eating.

Perhaps because of the influence of the times, among the 500,000 pioneers who left the earth, the proportion of becoming superhumans was faster than that of people in other generations.

Suffering really can promote human growth.

Zhang Yuan feels that the middle-aged and elderly people in this era, that is, the group that did not leave with the previous spaceship, should also have a high proportion of becoming superhumans.

In other times, it will be relatively lower.
