On the night of October 1, 2040, someone suddenly uploaded a video to YouTube, the largest video website on the Internet.
This is a short video that only lasts about three minutes. The recording technique is very crude. It was recorded entirely with a mobile phone. However, this crude video has had a great impact on the Earth Federation.
The location of the video is in a private house late at night.
In the video, the YouTube blogger first took a picture of his home with his mobile phone, then moved the lens to the window and placed it on a small astronomical telescope against the window.
It was dark outside the window, and the location of this YouTube blogger seemed to be somewhere in the countryside. Because cities have light pollution, only suburbs and countryside are the best places to observe outer space.
Finally, the blogger moved the phone little by little to the observation eyepiece of the telescope.
Next comes the topic: Through the eyepiece, everyone saw in the video - in the dark deep space, a huge spacecraft was floating in the empty universe. The spacecraft was in the shape of a bow, just like a There are rows of teeth on the inside of the bow without a string, like a comb, with as many as twenty or thirty teeth.
These teeth are connected to small spaceships of different shapes, which look very futuristic and sci-fi.
Because of insufficient brightness, the picture seen by the astronomical telescope is completely black and white, and due to atmospheric disturbance, the picture is slightly distorted from time to time, creating a blurry feeling.
But even so, this weird-looking thing that looks like an alien spacecraft has attracted the attention of many astronomy enthusiasts, and this video has become a hot search.
As soon as the video appeared, it immediately caused an uproar. Some people thought it was a computer-generated image, while others thought it was an alien. They believed that this huge spacecraft was evidence that aliens were monitoring the earth. In order to prove that they were To test the authenticity of the video, the YouTube blogger also took the initiative to expose the coordinates of his observation. Soon, other people also saw the existence of this mysterious aircraft.
Eventually, the video went viral.
The incident became more and more serious, and even made the news, alarming Blacklight Technology. So Blacklight Technology issued a statement, claiming that the spacecraft was not an alien artifact, but a recently launched space station named "Moon Rabbit". And released the size data of the space station.
This news once again caused an uproar across the world:
[The secret space station was exposed by astronomy enthusiasts. How long will Blackwatch Company plan to hide it from the public?]—The Wall Street Journal.
[Blackwatch Company secrets leaked, is it another Area 51?]—BBC headlines.
[The silent war between giant capital and the Earth Federation, space may become a battlefield in the new era!]—AP News.
[Blackwatch Aerospace Industry once again shocked the public. Why is there such a huge gap between North America and Blacklight Technology?]—Reuters News.
As Blacklight Technology’s space advantages become more and more obvious, media outlets around the world have received hints from their superiors and published some negative news headlines. In this heat, countless netizens have also expressed their opinions, and the discussion has been heated:
[What? When did it happen and why didn’t I know about Blackwatch’s launch of the space station?]
[A space station was launched silently. Is this technology that is ahead of its time really something that a private company can possess?]
[Upstairs, look at how much business this company has monopolized now? Biology, medicine, resources, military industry, aerospace... I can’t even count them! There has never been such an exaggerated company in history. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if a war with the Earth Federation started tomorrow with this kind of strength.]
[According to Blackwatch Company, the length of this space station is actually 500 meters, the width is 80 meters, and the height is 60 meters? How on earth was this launched?]
[Upstairs, don’t worry about how people launch, just say that Brickwatch Company is awesome!]
[Are you stupid? I admit that Blackwatch is very strong, but precisely because they are too strong, I am now very worried that the status of the Earth Federation may have been threatened for a long time. After all, there is an old saying in Central Continent that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. Now, in human society, there has been Got two tigers...]
These public opinions with negative titles naturally lead to the content of the comments being directed to the negative side. Regarding this phenomenon, Chen Chen understood that this was because the Earth Federation felt threatened.
Even at the Lilith Council of the Black Light Foundation, although the other four people did not say anything, Chen Chen could feel the fear in their hearts every time there was a meeting, especially as time passed and Black Light Technology continued to expand. middle.
From the earliest days, black light technology took root in Namibia. As it gradually grew, the entire Namibia gradually became a source of black light technology. This was seen by the entire Earth Federation.
But now, this nourishment for the growth of Black Light Technology has become the entire Earth Federation!
Everyone can feel that the Earth Federation seems to be following in the footsteps of Namibia.
After all, black light technology is so huge that it has penetrated into all walks of life of human civilization. In terms of biomedicine, anti-cancer drugs and anti-Alzheimer's drugs have become basic, and various difficult and complicated diseases are constantly being overcome. Nowadays, except for a few In addition to this rare genetic disease, 90% of human diseases have corresponding treatments.
In terms of energy, nuclear fusion is accomplished jointly by Blacklight Technology and the Four Continents. Each of the five forces has its own nuclear energy technology. Central Continent is good at nuclear fusion power generation technology, and the power of nuclear power plants far exceeds that of other countries;
The North American region is good at nuclear power engine technology, whether it is aircraft or ships, it has unique advantages;
Other Beihai District and European Districts also have their own areas of expertise.
Blacklight Technology, on the other hand, is good at almost all aspects. In every field, it can compete with the best fields in the four continents...
Not to mention the industrial and aerospace fields, it was Chen Chen who took the initiative to bring out the industrial and aerospace technologies back then and brought the four continents together to establish the Black Light Foundation.
Especially in the field of military industry, the XTN robots and electromagnetic weapons produced by Blacklight Technology are sold overseas, crushing the Earth Federation for a next era. There are even rumors that "Blacklight products must be high-quality products."
Most continents and countries in the world have branches of Blacklight Technology, which also makes it impossible to estimate the market value of Blacklight Technology. For such a behemoth, it has been deeply rooted in the deepest layers of society, even in various industries. Officials in Dazhou District did not dare to act rashly.
Because once it is done, it will not only trigger a social and economic crisis, but also have a high probability of leading to the outbreak of the Third World War!
Chen Chen didn't care about this kind of slander from the media. Similar things happened every few months. This was a kind of temptation and a silent protest.
Chen Chen knew that the Earth Federation wanted him to compromise and sacrifice himself to serve humanity. However, Chen Chen was not an idiot and just thought those politicians were farting.
At this time, he was looking at the design drawings of the new spacecraft sent by the Ministry of Aerospace.
This new spacecraft is in the shape of a long shuttle. The front half is like a drill, and there is even a triangular impact angle at the tip. The rear is like a small city, densely covered with countless equipment.
This new type of spaceship was prepared for crossing subspace. Chen Chen looked at the drawing and saw that the length of this type of spacecraft reached an astonishing five hundred meters. You know, even the length of an aircraft carrier is only three hundred meters. It can carry three thousand to five thousand people at a time.
It is more like a space fortress than a spaceship.
"The larger the volume and the thicker the armor, the better it is for subspace navigation."
Xiao The reason is that as long as the ship is large enough and a ram with high deflection armor as the main component is installed on the bow, it can overcome many difficulties."
"In addition, the reality stabilization anchor is also a necessary facility. The reality stabilization anchor can suppress the subspace airflow and form a protective shield. It was only after Xiao had the reality stabilization anchor that his life was saved."
"Finally, there is the subspace navigator. Judging from the experiment of the last voyage, Xiao can sense dangers hundreds of thousands of kilometers away in the subspace. This kind of navigator can be said to be indispensable when navigating in subspace. …”
Listening to Xiao X's explanation, Chen Chen tapped the table gently and fell into deep thought.
After a long while, Chen Chen raised his head and replied, "What you said makes sense, but we still have to change the size."
"ah?"
Little
"You misunderstood."
Chen Chen interrupted Xiao
"What?"
Little
"certainly."
Chen Chen nodded, "We have a preliminary understanding of subspace. The next thing to do is actually very simple, that is to lengthen the route. We are not only preparing to move within the solar system. If the Milky Way is compared to an ocean, then the solar system is nothing more than an ocean. It’s just an insignificant island in the ocean. In the future, we humans will inevitably need to migrate farther away. In this case, the spacecraft will naturally need to continue to increase in size so that there is enough space for the humans in the spacecraft to carry out activities.”
"So how big do you think the next spaceship should be?"
Little X asked excitedly.
"The first experimental spacecraft doesn't need to be too big. Let's build it one kilometer long."
Chen Chen agreed, "There must be at least a micro ecosystem in the spacecraft, such as sports fields and parks, as well as small processing plants and warehouses. Otherwise, if the spacecraft breaks down halfway, it will not just sit there and die."
Little Space navigation inevitably involves various accidents. If the spacecraft breaks down halfway or has other malfunctions and cannot reach its destination in a short time, these facilities will be very important.
These facilities can fully allow the humans on the spacecraft to save themselves. Even if there are no conditions for self-rescue, the ecosystem on the ship can enable the passengers to survive a long period of time when resources are scarce, and avoid dying of despair.
So next, the design was redone, and a sports field and an ecological botanical garden were added to the new design, as well as various circulation systems. The botanical garden can form a miniature ecosystem inside the spacecraft to form air circulation. And it can also provide food for a large number of people.
The processing plant can synthesize meat and protein as food for passengers. Even when resources are extremely scarce, it can also recycle excrement to maintain the most basic life system.
In addition, this kind of spacecraft can also carry hundreds of small exploration ships and frigates. These small spacecrafts have different functions, but they all adopt the most convenient modular design. Just replace a few modules to change it. the use of.
For example, a resource collection ship was originally equipped with two engineering pliers that could collect ore, but as long as the pliers were replaced, it could be turned into a frigate that fired electromagnetic weapons.
In short, after some design, the number of passengers in the spacecraft has not changed, it is still 3,000 to 5,000 people, but the volume of the spacecraft has increased by more than four times, and the area inside has increased by more than ten times.
When Xiao X came to see Chen Chen with the new design drawing, Chen Chen nodded in agreement and said, "This is it."
"If we plan to build this kind of giant spacecraft, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it with the current Yuetu Space Station alone."
Little X said, "The Moon Rabbit space station needs to continue to expand."
"Of course."
Chen Chen nodded, "My goal is to enlarge the Moon Rabbit space station to ten times its current size. This is not difficult for us."
During this period of time, Chen Chen has been continuously transporting various materials to the Moon Rabbit space station, constantly increasing the size of the Moon Rabbit like building blocks. He even felt that one black ball Gantz was not enough, so he added two more. The three transmission devices work together, and the Moon Rabbit continues to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Little
While the Moon Rabbit and the new subspace spacecraft were being manufactured, Xiao was also cooperating with the company, studying him inside and out.
What Blacklight Technology has to do is very simple, that is, just like extracting factor L from Chen Chen's blood to create compound L, Chen Chen plans to extract the corresponding gene from Xiao's blood in the same way, thereby Copy his superpowers.
After all, Xiao is only one person, and he can only guide a subspace spacecraft even if he holds his head up to the sky. This is far from enough for Chen Chen's plan. What he needs is thousands of navigators like Xiao. Only then, Only human beings can overcome the obstacles of subspace and spread civilization throughout the galaxy...
