Chapter 301 Suggestions
The three spacecrafts were not very massive, so the deceleration process was completed very quickly. Because they were slowing down for the human probe team, the three spacecrafts did not completely slow down to a relative stillness relative to the star system, but adjusted their speed to a level similar to that of the human probe team.
In fact, it is still very difficult to judge one's own speed in an empty environment, especially in this kind of space far away from the star system, where there is no reference system around and there is not enough knowledge of space navigation, so one does not know whether one is still or moving.
On Yue Yuan's side, since the human probe team was constantly detecting with various detection equipment, the images he could see were actually continuous. Therefore, after the speed of the three spacecrafts slowed down, he could also see them clearly.
From the appearance, the shape of these three spacecrafts is very normal, not disc-shaped or cylindrical, but with a cool technological appearance, the overall inverted triangle style, with a smaller head and a slightly larger back, and slightly flat on the top and bottom, which is quite in line with the image of a spaceship imagined by humans.
Because the distance between the two is too far, the position of the muzzles of the three spacecrafts cannot be seen clearly, but according to the analysis of their shape, it is likely to be on the more prominent sides.
It seems to be a design that continues the internal startup layout of the planet.
As time went by, the speed of the human probe team also slowed down, and finally maintained a similar relative speed with the three unknown civilization spacecraft at a position of 10 kilometers, and then stood in a quiet confrontation, and there was no new change in the picture.
"Well, it seems that these three unknown civilization spacecraft are still rational." Seeing this situation, Yue Yuan couldn't help but nodded.
Presumably, the three spacecraft should also see the human probe as just a probe. The stalemate at this moment is not a stalemate, but waiting, waiting for the reaction of the humans behind the probe.
If there is no accident, this stalemate will continue, and it will take a long time. In fact, when humans saw this picture, this state had lasted for a year. After all, it takes a year for information to be transmitted from the probe to the human fleet.
Even if humans' work of deciphering electromagnetic wave signals goes smoothly, the earliest reaction that can be seen by the three unknown civilization spacecraft will be another year later.
The journey is long, and it takes two years for information transmitted at the speed of light to go back and forth. This is the norm for low-level civilization communication, and humans have become accustomed to it.
At such a large-scale distance, even light seems like a snail, so there is no rush.
Therefore, after seeing that time was still passing but the actions of both sides in the screen were stagnant, Yue Yuan turned around and did what he had to do. Anyway, scientists from all walks of life and important staff of the command center would not come so quickly.
One day passed like this.
After Yue Yuan returned to the battleship's living area and had a good sleep, he came to the command center of the Tianqin slowly the next day.
As for Manyuemei, after discussing life with Yue Yuan, she went to the Second Fleet.
Humans now have more than 1,200 Lake-class battleships. The Second Fleet directly controls 500 battleships, with Manyuemei as the supreme commander. As for the First Fleet, it is naturally the fleet headed by the Tianqin, which controls 700 Lake-class battleships.
Of course, there are also various functional spacecraft and work platforms allocated to the two fleets. After all, a fleet is not only capable of fighting, but also capable of collecting supplies, maintaining damaged battleships, etc.
Fleet A fleet must be a collection of spacecrafts with various functions. You must know that wars on a cosmic scale must be long-lasting, and it is possible to fight for hundreds or thousands of years. Moreover, it is impossible for a fleet to be dispatched with residential spacecraft. Therefore, the matching design of human fleets is very particular.
After all, you can't go out for a mission, go out for decades, and then run back to the main body of the people to replenish supplies and fuel.
Well, let's get back to the topic.
When Yue Yuan came to the command center early in the morning the next day, it was different from the deserted yesterday. The seats in front of the rows of computer work platforms were already full of people. The first and second mates of the warships, as well as scientists, scholars, and new government officials who were awakened from various fields had gathered together.
"Chief General!"
"General Yue!"
As soon as Yue Yuan walked into the command center, all the staff looked over.
"Well!" Yue Yuan nodded, walked slowly to his seat, and said, "How is it, do you have any opinions?"
Yue Yuan came late, and it is estimated that all the staff had discussed for a while, so he asked this question.
As soon as the voice came, an officer of the headquarters pointed to the picture on the big screen that had not changed, and said: "General Yue, in my opinion, although these three spaceships show the technology of the second-level civilization, we must not be so one-sided and assume that the civilization behind them is a second-level civilization.
I have also seen the deceleration picture before. Their engines should be heavy nuclear fusion and cold nuclear pulse. However, this can only show the technological content of these three spaceships, and cannot represent the technological level of the civilization behind them, because these three spaceships are just small spaceships. Before getting the data of their main battleships, we cannot jump to conclusions."
At this time, a member of the think tank also said: "Chief of Staff Lan is right. I believe everyone has not forgotten the technology that marks the third-level civilization, and the source of our information on the technology mark of the third-level civilization. They all say it is nanotechnology. Then you say, is it possible that Silver Mist has concealed something? Or, after a civilization masters the real nanotechnology and becomes a third-level civilization, does its power system still use heavy nuclear fusion and cold nuclear pulse!"
"Well, go on." Yue Yuan was also stunned when he heard this.
He also noticed that the essence of the technological changes from primitive civilization to first-level civilization, and then from first-level civilization to second-level civilization, are the improvement of energy level utilization and the expansion of energy acquisition range.
But why did it become true nanotechnology when it reached the third-level civilization?
Suddenly, Yue Yuan recalled the original situation, so he reminded: "Uh, no, I remember that the Silver Mist Consciousness Body said that the third-level civilization has a hybrid system with charged antiparticles, and the navigation speed will be able to reach 50% of the speed of light."
"Yes." The think tank member nodded and said, "That's why I said that the three spaceships are small spaceships. Perhaps due to space limitations, they are not equipped with that kind of hybrid system. Therefore, we need to see their main battleships before we can make a conclusion. Therefore, we must consider this possibility in our assumptions."
Predict the opponent in a big direction. Yue Yuan thought about it in his heart, and then said, "There is some truth. If the civilization behind the three spaceships is a third-level civilization, what should we do?"
The think tank member immediately replied: "I suggest that the fleet slow down immediately, turn around and head to another star system, and continue on the road after a little supply."
