On this day, people around the world who had not yet fallen asleep discovered the abnormality immediately.
"The phone has no signal?!"
Many people thought that their mobile phones just lost signal, but little did they know that this was a global electromagnetic wave disorder caused by a Star Destroyer Cannon.
It will last up to a month, during which time people will return to the era of wired networks and all mobile phones will become bricks.
Not to mention 6G network, even 2G does not exist.
What followed was an earthquake that was felt all over the world.
People in almost every area clearly felt the vibrations, but the frequency was not high and the damage caused was not great.
Some knowledgeable seismology experts were puzzled. There was no response from the measuring instrument, which meant that there was no earthquake in the country, but the earthquake was felt from under the feet.
"Unless there is a huge earthquake coming from farther away, all we feel here are aftershocks..."
Earthquake experts were all shocked. If confirmed, it would be an unprecedented earthquake.
There was no cell phone signal and no calls could be made. Coupled with frequent earthquakes, many people realized that something might have happened at this moment.
But information is not spread smoothly. All people can do is go home and turn on the cable TV and wait for the news.
…
"Sir, you are going to Earth?!"
Listening to Uncle Da's questioning words, Zhao Yu felt a little guilty. He had not discussed this matter in advance.
I added it myself when negotiating with Colonel Chu, just because I was afraid that Uncle Da would disagree and wanted to make it a fait accompli.
"Ahem, for negotiation, I have to take action. Bajie and the others can't do it. They can easily be manipulated..."
"I know, I will form a fleet as soon as possible to protect the safety of the commander..."
What Zhao Yu didn't expect was that Uncle Da didn't jump.
Don’t dwell on mistakes and just choose the best at the moment?
Zhao Yu suddenly realized that no matter how human-like Uncle Da was, he was still just an artificial intelligence. In terms of emotions, he did not have many unnecessary emotions.
"Sir, the first phase of the plan has been completed..."
Uncle Da did not dwell too much on this matter and talked about what Zhao Yu had explained before.
"Well, tell me!"
"For our base, there are two main things we lack..."
"1. Science and technology, this is the core, it can upgrade technology and develop new industries..."
"Second, resources, this is a necessity to mass-produce combat machines..."
"For us, the biggest benefit of trading with the Earth should be the return of technology points for the title of 'Mysterious Merchant'..."
"Resources, in the short term, we do need the earth's resources, but in the long term, there are many desolate planets in the universe, and the resources are almost inexhaustible..."
Zhao Yu nodded slightly. Among the eight planets in the solar system, except for the earth, the resources on other planets are ownerless. Whoever comes first comes first served.
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "How long is the window for landing on Mars?"
The eight planets in the solar system all orbit the sun, sometimes on the same side as the earth, sometimes on the other side.
When they are on the same side, the natural distance is the shortest. For spacecraft with limited space navigation speed, it is the best landing period, also called the window period.
"There are still 11 months..."
Uncle Da shook his head and said: "Sir, in the first phase of the plan I set up, there is a mission to send a spacecraft to Mercury..."
"Mercury?"
Zhao Yu was stunned. He was very unfamiliar with this planet. He only knew that it was the planet closest to the sun.
Uncle Da nodded and continued: "Our spaceship now has two power modes, one magnetic power and one nuclear power..."
"Magnetic power is not practical for interstellar navigation. After all, most of the universe is barren and there is no strong magnetism to rely on..."
"Then to travel to other planets, we can only rely on nuclear power..."
"Our nuclear fusion reactor technology is now in the second generation, and the speed of conventional nuclear-powered spacecraft is only 61,400 kilometers per hour..."
"At this time, if you want to go to Mars, it will take 88 days to get there..."
"And even if you arrive, it will take two years before you can return..."
The closest distance between Mars and Earth is 55 million kilometers, and the longest distance is 400 million kilometers. The best choice is definitely to use the window period as the round trip time.
Otherwise, based on the longest distance, the time spent on the light path will take more than a year.
"The average rendezvous period between Venus and us is 584 days. It is now about 110 million kilometers away from us and has not yet reached its farthest point. That is, the next rendezvous time will be about 290 days later, which is longer than Mars..."
Zhao Yu understood what he said and asked, "Where is Mercury?"
"Mercury is 83 million kilometers closest to us and 218 million kilometers farthest..."
"The good news is that Mercury rotates very quickly. It only takes 88 Earth days, and it rendezvous with the Earth once every 116 days on average. It is now during the rendezvous period, which is the window period for traveling to Mercury..."
Zhao Yu nodded and asked, "Send the spaceship over now. How long will it take to arrive?"
"57 days."
"so long?"
Uncle Da nodded and said: "So, the core of our second-phase plan is to upgrade the second-generation nuclear fusion reactor to the third-generation..."
"Upgrade nuclear fusion?"
Zhao Yu frowned slightly. Nuclear fusion almost ran through the core of the entire technology below 1.99, and the exchange price was also rising steadily.
The first generation of nuclear fusion only cost 1,000 technology points when redeemed.
But the second-generation nuclear fusion has become 5000 technology points. It took more than half a year to save up for the upgrade.
Similarly, the third-generation nuclear fusion requires up to 10,000 technology points, and Zhao Yu has never thought about upgrading.
"right!"
Uncle Da nodded and said: "Nuclear fusion is the core. According to calculations, if nuclear fusion is upgraded to the third generation, the speed of all our nuclear-powered spaceships will be greatly increased..."
"In addition, all facilities related to nuclear fusion, such as energy shields, ground-based laser defense systems, etc., will also increase in power..."
These are all supported by nuclear fusion reactors. When nuclear fusion upgrades, the rising tide will naturally lift all boats, and they will become stronger along with it.
Zhao Yu thought about it carefully and realized that it should indeed be upgraded to the third generation of nuclear fusion.
He had never thought about it before, because all technology points depended on saving. It would take him two years to save 10,000 technology points.
Now, with the title of 'Mysterious Businessman', he can quickly obtain a large number of technology points from the earth.
"Okay, so is the first phase of the plan to do large-scale transactions with the earth?"
"right!"
Uncle Da nodded and said: "My idea is to use the 50-kilometer-diameter asteroid as our base on the earth..."
"Then set up a company, build factories all over the earth, and recycle technology points..."
"The earth money earned can be exchanged for some resources on the earth. After all, we are not yet able to travel too far. The nearest Mercury currently takes 57 days to reach..."
Zhao Yu nodded, the plan was similar to what he thought, "Has the list of transactions been made?"
"The list is ready, maglev cars, intelligent robots, first-generation nuclear fusion power stations..."
