Suddenly, the artificial intelligence system seemed to have detected something. A large amount of data appeared on the left screen like a waterfall.
"Captain, interstellar creatures have been detected. They are 78.8 million kilometers away from the spaceship." The artificial intelligence system said.
Luo Yuan was stunned for a moment before he was pleasantly surprised.
The wisdom elixir had become an important driving force for human development. However, due to the limited amount of active energy provided by the energy core, the production of the elixir could not be increased.
A maximum of 2,000 tubes of wisdom elixir could be produced every year. According to the statistics, there were only 6,123 people consuming the wisdom elixir a week ago. The number of people consuming the wisdom elixir was pitiful compared to the 300,000 researchers. To Luo Yuan, it was far from enough. Even if the entire population could not consume the wisdom elixir, at least the researchers would be able to consume it.
It was not that he had not asked the scientists to do relevant research on active energy. In fact, such research had already begun during the reconstruction area. However, this kind of energy was quite mysterious. It seemed to be invisible and did not exist. Even the energy crystals in the bodies of high-level mutated organisms could not be found, except for the organic parts. However, the paradoxical thing was that it could actually affect life.
Even with the current level of technology, the understanding of this energy was limited, let alone obtaining it artificially. In order to increase the production of the wisdom elixir, the only way was to hunt for more interstellar creatures.
Unfortunately, the solar system was huge. Even with the advanced detection system and the powerful computing power of the spaceship, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack to find an interstellar creature that was less than 10 in number. Moreover, there were many planets that blocked their vision, making it even more difficult to find them.
Therefore, they did not find anything for three years.
Who would have thought that they would be lucky enough to find one during their first trial?
"Where is it?" Luo Yuan asked immediately.
"It's behind Venus, the side closest to the Sun!" As the AI spoke, a huge golden star immediately occupied the large screen of the virtual reality scene. Not far away, there was a tiny dot that was almost unnoticeable. If it wasn't for the fact that the AI had intentionally circled this dot and the golden star had been magnified thousands of times, no one would have noticed this black dot that was smaller than a needle's eye.
"Magnify it!"
Before his voice fell, this small dot had already been enlarged to its limit by the brain, occupying the entire screen. Because the sun was behind it, this colossus was heavily backlit, but the picture was still quite clear.
Looking at its clumsy body that looked like a sea creature, Luo Yuan felt that it looked familiar. Wasn't this the interstellar creature that he had encountered on the moon? He did not expect it to have gone to the other side after all these years.
However, Luo Yuan's sigh was not the sigh of an old friend meeting again. Instead, it was filled with malice.
Leaving such an interstellar creature in the solar system was not beneficial to mankind. Such a creature was a miracle of life. Their evolutionary path and the development of technology were completely different. By analyzing their abilities, especially the application of energy and force fields, it could be used as a reference for the development of technology.
In fact, as the Glassian technology was gradually absorbed by the humans, some of the researchers had turned their attention to the mysterious abilities of the transcendent giant beast. The humans had found the dawn of a higher level of technology.
Therefore, even if it was not for the energy core, it was necessary to kill all the interstellar creatures to prevent them from leaving any for the Glassian spaceships.
However, the interstellar creature was too far away from here. Today was the spaceship's first test flight. It would be too risky for the spaceship to go there directly. Moreover, it would take a long time to travel at such a low speed. He lowered his head and thought for a while before asking, "Advisor Sun, can the interstellar fighter jets be deployed now?"
"Reporting, captain. Five of the fighter jets have been transported into the modified ejection chamber. They can be deployed at any time." A middle-aged man immediately stood up from his seat, saluted and said loudly.
"Then all of them will be deployed. Our target is to kill the interstellar creature!"
"Yes, captain!"
Five of the crew immediately put on a custom-made helmet. The helmet was equipped with quantum communication. Through the micro-quantum computer in their eyeballs, they could directly connect to the interstellar fighter jets and operate them.
A few seconds later, the ejection chamber on the side of the spaceship suddenly opened. The next moment, the five interstellar fighters were launched at high speed by the spiral electromagnetic rail.
Even before the engines were activated, the initial speed of the interstellar fighter jets had already reached a shocking 300 kilometers per second.
Subtracting the spaceship's current speed of 150 kilometers per second, it meant that in less than a second, the interstellar fighter jets had accelerated from 0 meters per second to 150 kilometers per second. Even a normal piece of metal would have been deformed due to the terrifying pressure. However, the interstellar fighters were not affected at all.
Soon, the five interstellar fighters had completed their ignition. They were like an arrow that had left the bow, flying far away into space. Their speed was getting faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, they had completely disappeared from the screen.
The spaceship flew for more than an hour and the test flight was successfully completed according to plan.
Luo Yuan and a group of higher-ups left the control cabin.
After all, the battle between the interstellar creature and the space fighter jets would only last for a short period of time. Even if the interstellar fighter jets were to fly at the maximum safe speed of 1,500 kilometers per second, the battle would take place in 14 hours.
"Can the interstellar fighter jets defeat the interstellar creature?" As there were too many higher-ups, Chen Xinjie, who had been silent the entire time, could not help but ask when she walked into the office.
Ever since the engineering team came to Earth to collect the interstellar creature's carcass, the mysterious and powerful creature was unveiled in the eyes of ordinary people. Its astonishing size and mysterious abilities made humans curious and fearful at the same time. For a long time, it became a topic of conversation between humans and humans.
"We'll only know after we fight it!" Luo Yuan sat on the chair and laid down with a relaxed expression.
To be honest, he had no idea what the outcome would be. However, with the interstellar fighter jets' mobility, even if they could not kill it, they would be able to escape. The only thing he had to consider was how strong its defense was.
Moreover, the five interstellar fighters were not the first generation of interstellar fighters, but the second generation. The electromagnetic cannon alone had an increase of 1.5 times, reaching 150 million kilowatts, which was equivalent to three Three Gorges Power Stations.
Although its warhead was only one kilogram, its power was not any weaker than a tactical nuclear bomb. What was more powerful was that it could fire once in three seconds.
As for the other weapons, they had also been strengthened.
The interstellar fighter jets were not any weaker than the Glassian's fighter jets.
…
After chatting for a while, Chen Xinjie did not want to disturb Luo Yuan anymore and left the office.
Luo Yuan took a sip of tea and started to deal with the documents that were piled up like a mountain.
Humans had entered the countdown to leaving the solar system. The verification of whether humans had the ability to travel through space and a new round of technology census were in full swing. Recently, all the departments were extremely busy and even Luo Yuan did not have much time to spare.
