In the era of superluminal speed.
Chen Jin's heart was slightly shaken. There seemed to be hope of a breakthrough in the seemingly unbreakable barrier of light speed.
After all, the pace of Galaxy Era was indeed too slow. Under normal circumstances, there was no hope of a player dominating the server for hundreds of years. In order to speed up the progress of the game and save the game, even if there was no breakthrough in the field of "space technology" in reality, the fictional "superluminal technology" had to be introduced.
This was bound to lead to a decline in the realism of the game and disrupt the original pace.
Unexpectedly, a player with genius creativity in the field of science had made a breakthrough at the theoretical level.
The technology of the superluminal curvature engine could also be realized in reality.
The significance of this was extremely extraordinary.
"It seems that the Crystal Brainers have not made a breakthrough in the technology of the superluminal engine." If there had been a breakthrough, Haierfa would have been colonized and occupied long ago, instead of being destroyed remotely.
"That is to say, in terms of speed, I am ahead of the Crystal Brainers and have established a significant advantage.
"Even a single curvature engine, when equipped on a C-class warship, can immediately raise its combat power by two levels, reaching the level of an A-class warship.
"And objects that fly at superluminal speed cannot be monitored. If they are used to launch blitzkrieg and surprise attacks, the huge suddenness will cause many civilizations to suffer heavy losses or even be directly destroyed."
It was important to know that no matter in the field of competition, there was "no obstacle that could not be overcome, no speed that could not be overcome."
The same was true for war.
As long as the superluminal curvature engine was introduced, the mere Crystal Brainers would no longer be a threat.
"But master, with our current experimental conditions, it will take about ten years before a real large-scale practical curvature engine can achieve a breakthrough. It is impossible to enter the practical stage immediately."
"Can increasing the input of resources speed up the process?"
"There shouldn't be a significant effect. Alice and I have already invested 100% of our resources and energy into this project."
"Okay."
After all, this was not a level-up novel without any logic. He could only wait step by step.
…
On the other side.
In the Walf Galaxy, 14 light-years away.
On the vast surface of a water-rich planet, development activities were in full swing every day.
Mines were mined one after another to provide the various raw materials needed.
Colonial bases were built along the river, scattered in various places within a radius of a thousand miles. While improving the efficiency of development, the living space of the surviving humans was particularly spacious.
"More than 300 million square kilometers of land is occupied by more than 100,000 survivors. What a vast living space! Resources, land, environment, housing prices, and so on. All of these problems don't exist … It's a paradise without rich resources, natural enemies, and competition."
"In such a paradise, even if we human beings reproduce exponentially and double our population every thirty years, it will still take three hundred years for the population to reach ten billion.
"If we directly detonate the population bomb and nurture a population of ten billion in thirty years … In about fifty years, this planet will become a little crowded, and it will fall into a state of insufficient resources and competition."
"Conflicts will arise again, and internal divisions will occur. It will be difficult to maintain the initial unity … This place will no longer be a paradise."
But even so!
Even if it was full of contradictions and conflicts.
Mu Yunhua clenched her fists. That was still better than staying in her comfort zone.
Because she felt that the atmosphere these days was getting more and more strange.
Everyone was too comfortable, too immersed in the current temporary peace, and ignored the almost unshakable threat.
"At present, resources are limited. There is no need to use the population bomb in large numbers. It's enough to increase the number of people by 10,000 every year. If we produce 100,000 or a million children every year, we won't be able to take care of them. There are not many people who are willing to be nannies."
"Scientific research and development does need to start several large-scale projects as soon as possible, but there is a serious shortage of scientists. We can only carry out a few non-frontier topics first, and we even need to find some missing technologies."
"Military construction? We haven't even built a complete industrial system. How can we carry out military construction and build the large 'interstellar warships' that you mentioned? "
At the meeting of high-level representatives.
The three highest-priority action proposals put forward by Mu Yunhua were all rejected.
Less than one-third of the representatives supported her!
Even her loud appeals did not attract the attention of the opposition representatives.
A representative named Wu Zhixian even sneered and said, "Captain, let go of your anxiety that you have nowhere to put it. We know what you are worried about, and we also know the danger we are currently in. But with our current strength, we can't compete with our potential opponents at all. There is a technological gap of at least 300 years between us and the other party.
If we decide to resist, I'm afraid that the moment the fleet of the mysterious forces arrives will be the time for us to escape again. The painstaking construction in front of us will be nothing more than a wedding dress for others.
It's better to slow down the pace a little, fully enjoy the present peaceful and comfortable time, and replenish some happiness and hope. If you continue to worry, you will despair to the point of madness. As for the crisis, it's not too late to think of a way to deal with it when it comes. "
Mu Yunhua's eyes widened.
What did he mean?
"Why do I hear a hint of weakness and compromise in your words? Representative Wu, are you planning to wait for the alien fleet to arrive, give up struggling and resistance, and then raise your hands to surrender? "
Mu Yunhua glared at the other party and questioned. Sure enough, she saw a trace of panic in the other party's sly eyes.
"Captain, you are slandering my character. Please don't question my determination to resist to the end." Wu Zhixian stood up with an angry look on his face.
"Then why did you take the lead in vetoing several of my proposals? These proposals are the guarantee for our freedom and survival. Don't you know how important they are?"
"The most important thing now is to live a stable life, and not to continue to remind people of the wanderings on the spaceship. No one wants to wander a second time. Perhaps Walf is a permanent home that is suitable for us," Wu Zhixian said with a twinkle in his eyes, but he was still bold and confident.
Mu Yunhua looked at him in shock.
Because based on his words alone, she had enough reason to suspect that he was a spy planted or instigated by the mysterious alien forces.
After all, any normal person could hear the excuses and tone of surrender.
But the strange thing was that even though Wu Zhixian had said such words, most of the representatives present remained silent instead of suggesting isolation and interrogation.
More than half of the representatives even stood by Wu Zhixian's side, as if they would join forces at any time to veto any issues related to military preparations that she raised.
Suddenly, her heart sank.
She turned her head and glanced at Bai Shengqi beside her. She saw that his face was also full of solemnity, and he winked at her to indicate that she should not act rashly.
"Meeting adjourned."
Mu Yunhua spat out these two words helplessly.
