Chapter 579: Two-brained person

Views:

In the dark space, a human curvature spacecraft is slowly heading towards the Earth's space port.

In a living cabin inside, a group of strange-looking humanoid creatures were gathering together in twos and threes, chatting quietly, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

Their skin is grayish-yellow, hairless, and looks quite rough. Their upper body has four hands, the palms are divided into three fingers, and there are two hump-like bulges on the top of their heads. They are generally about two and a half meters tall, making them look... Like little giants.

They are an extraterrestrial civilization from the two-brained people named by humans more than two hundred light years away from the earth.

During the process of evolution, their brains split into two relatively independent but interconnected brains, and their two hands were controlled by different brains. This unique physiological structure gave them the innate ability to distract themselves.

Among this group of two-brained people, there are high-level officials of their government, giants in various scientific fields, experts who collect intelligence, and think tanks who make government decisions. They can be described as a gathering of elites. However, since arriving here, except for a few limited areas, they can Except for free movement, the rest of the positions are difficult to move.

There is no extra packaging at all in this living cabin, and it is basically original. For example, the floor is made of frosted metal with only a layer of anti-slip treatment, and the walls are also made of metal. Except for a bare wall above the head with no visible technology, and Except for a group of intelligent robots dedicated to serving or monitoring them, there are basically not many traces of that highly civilized technology here.

But even some sporadic discoveries made them feel powerless.

"The gap is too big. Maybe we won't be able to build such a spaceship for thousands of years!" An expert in the field of materials gently rubbed the smooth mirror-like armor layer on the outside of the habitation module with his palm, and the other three hands danced and sighed. road.

Before coming, he had secretly brought a small knife. This small knife, which was no longer than a finger, was made of the hardest material in their civilization. It could not even be produced industrially and could only be prepared on a small scale in the laboratory.

But in the past two years, not to mention the extremely smooth walls, even the frosted metal on the ground, until the blade was polished, he didn't make even a single scratch.

"After all, this is the curvature spacecraft of an advanced civilization. It is beyond our imagination. Without powerful material technology, it cannot withstand the impact of light pressure." A physicist shook his head, and then said with admiration: "I am more curious about their It would be nice to take a look at the technical principles of the curvature engine.”

"This is impossible. They will never let go of military technology." A senior government official said desperately: "And it's useless even if we get it. After this negotiation, we will be strictly prohibited from developing military technology. , the human fleet will also be permanently stationed in our galaxy."

The atmosphere suddenly became depressing.

This time it is not so much a negotiation, but an unconditional surrender treaty, a complete surrender to this advanced civilization, with no room for bargaining. In fact, as of now, they have no resistance at all, and the civilization has reached a life-or-death decision. Those who rebel will prosper and those who rebel will perish!

Five years ago, two human warships appeared in their galaxy.

Human beings deciphered the language of the two-brained people and issued an all-channel surrender notice to them, causing huge panic.

One day later, the previous leader strongly rejected the proposal to surrender.

So, the war began. The technology of the two-brained people has developed to the civilization within the galaxy, and it is only one step away from interstellar civilization. After hundreds of years of accumulation, the number of space battleships is not a few. When the two-brained people organize all the data Hundreds of warships rushed towards the human warships in a mighty manner.

In just an instant, hundreds of battleships lit up a ball of light at the same time. The dazzling light even made hundreds of suns appear in the dark space. Then, countless defense forces in the space were also destroyed one after another, rendering them useless.

In just ten days, human warships arrived near the living planet. Under the huge pressure of subjugating the country and annihilating the species, the hard-line leader was ousted. The new leader immediately announced his surrender to humanity, and the war was completely over.

The spacecraft gradually flew into the space port. Accompanied by a human officer, all the two-brained people walked into the port, then transferred to the air-to-ground aircraft and rushed to the earth.

Compared with the rough and stereotyped living cabin of a military spacecraft, the interior of an air-to-ground aircraft undoubtedly looks countless times more luxurious. The various advanced technologies make people feel inexplicably awe-inspiring. Several two-brained people sit restrainedly in the air. On the seat, everything felt unnatural.

"Sir, from a powerful civilization, is there a place here where you can see the outside scenery?" A two-brained man carefully asked the accompanying officer. Before coming, they had all been trained in human language. Except for the accent and language organization, they had some differences. Apart from changing the taste, it does not affect communication.

The officer nodded expressionlessly, and then said: "Zhi Nao, turn on the panoramic virtual reality!"

"clear!"

After a soft female voice, all the walls of the aircraft suddenly became transparent, and the surrounding area immediately became dark. Everyone seemed to be sitting in the starry sky. The sudden change in the environment made everyone subconsciously exclaim.

"This... this is incredible." A two-brained scientist stood up tentatively and carefully. If he hadn't felt the solid texture under his feet, he would have thought he had really arrived in space.

They also have virtual reality technology, but it's so real that it's hard to distinguish it from the fake, which is really shocking.

"Everyone, look back!" At this time, a two-brained man exclaimed.

Everyone immediately turned their heads to look, and after just one glance, they subconsciously held their breath.

"Oh my God!"

“It’s incredible!”

This is an unimaginably huge military port shaped like a honeycomb. Tens of thousands of warships, fixed by huge metal clamps, are arranged neatly like rows of soldiers on standby.

When I think that any spaceship here can easily destroy their civilization, my body feels as if it has been electrified, and my whole body is numb, and I almost want to crawl to the ground. The power of this advanced civilization and technology makes people feel sincere awe.

Before they could sigh for too long, another huge object came into view. At first, everyone thought it was the satellite of the planet they were about to rush to, but as the distance got closer and closer, until they saw its silvery smooth Everyone was a little uneasy about the surface and the perfectly round shape that could never be formed naturally.

"Dear Sir, can you tell us, the humble ones, what this is?" A high-level official from a two-brained civilized government asked with a trembling voice.

The young officer showed an imperceptible smile and said with a hint of pride: "This is a planetary fortress with a diameter of 500 kilometers and a mass that is one-twentieth of your home planet. As long as the antimatter fuel is replenished once, it will It can travel at fifty times the speed of light for six thousand years.”

Fifty times the speed of light times six thousand years equals 300,000 light years.

After all the two-brained people heard this, they subconsciously took a breath of cold air and couldn't help but tremble slightly. You must know that the entire galaxy is only about a hundred thousand light years away, and this huge planetary fortress like a satellite can actually fly. Away from the Milky Way.

After the young officer said something, he stopped talking. Although what he just said was not a deception, to a certain extent, it was an exaggeration. The interior of the planetary fortress was extremely vast. Even if the necessary equipment was removed, there was at least One-third of the area can be used to store antimatter fuel. However, even for today's humans, it would take all the antimatter production of the Dyson Sphere within a hundred years to even fill it.

As for the current antimatter reserves in this planetary fortress, it can only travel five thousand light years.
