After seeing He Mo off, Ye Ming lowered the temperature of the air conditioner by two degrees, and then sat back in front of the monitor, intending to understand the progress of various projects. But just when he entered the project permissions page, Etta's cartoon image jumped out directly, occupying a small half of the 43-inch 8K display screen.
Yes, even with the blessing of quantum computers and 6G network + ultra-distance communication base stations that have been commercially used, the current VR virtual imaging technology can reach a level close to reality, but the "ancient" product of the display has still not been disuse. It's just that its technology can be seen at a glance - either through transparency, special-shaped, naked-eye 3D, etc. to play tricks, or by improving resolution and refresh, pursuing large-area visual enjoyment.
The main reason for this situation is that the human eye has insufficient evolutionary adaptation to long-term use of VR equipment. Especially for people who need to face working screens for a long time, flat-panel monitors cannot be completely replaced at work. For example, Ye Ming stares at the computer for more than ten hours every day, and he can't stand it with VR eyes.
"Ye Ming."
Although Yita was not here, she obviously took out a thread to monitor Ye Ming's office and knew that Ye Ming was free.
"If it's just a chat, I don't have time." Ye Ming held the mouse, clicked on her cartoon image a few times, and said with a smile: "Have you made any progress there?"
Ita made an angry expression: "Hey! That's too much!"
"Hurry up." Ye Ming looked up at the camera in front of him, and saw that the camera was whirling around, expressing Etta's dissatisfaction - the kicking of the legs on the monitor was not enough to satisfy her emotional expression: "There is good news without?"
"That's good news!"
"Oh?" Ye Ming immediately became interested, sat up straight, and said with burning eyes: "Did it succeed?"
——Ita is the only "green pepper" in the entire province. Although she doesn't have a graduate student, she can get into any group she wants.
At this time, she was upstairs, forming a joint scientific research team with Sheng Fei from the materials team, Mo Gu who was far away on the Blue Star, and a scholar named Gu Li who was located in the Holy City of the Descendants of the Blue Star. The group is developing artificial muscle materials.
Of course, this artificial muscle material is just one of the projects. Mo Gu and the scholar named Gu Li are also working on the in vitro cultivation of organs and the advancement of EEG technology - this is a huge cooperation project. There are countless units going on at the same time below.
As a robot, Eta obviously doesn't pay much attention to human organs, but she pays attention to artificial muscles - because she has studied the structure of the Blue Star people and found that the structure of the Blue Star people is... more "advanced" than human robots. too much!
At present, the biggest problem of humanoid robots is power output - whether the robot is traveling or doing work, it is driven by motors. The more complex movements are completed and the smoother the movements, the more complex the design of the power system becomes.
As we all know, the more complex a structure is, the more expensive it is and the more likely it is to malfunction.
So a situation like this emerged.
Robots used for combat generally have unsightly walking postures and stiff movements, but they are relatively durable and can carry loads. In contrast, the butler robot behaves much like a human, but is basically unable to do any heavy work.
Although Earth Technology has developed materials such as artificial muscles very early, generally speaking, its power is still provided by motors, which essentially means changing the soup without changing the medicine.
In comparison, the structures of the Blue Stars appear to be perfect - they use bionic muscles to provide power and have no motors.
As the "leader" of global robots, Etta is naturally very concerned about this.
"Well, you can come and take a look."
Ye Ming glanced at the time, thought for a moment and said, "Just show it and then upload the report and data. Well...especially about the electronic control part."
Ita's voice came quickly: "Okay - Sheng Fei asked me to scold you."
Ye Ming was startled, and then laughed out loud - it seemed that Sheng Fei had really put a lot of thought into doing this.
Immediately, Etta uploaded the experimental data and quickly generated an experimental simulation diagram on the monitor.
Ye Ming looked at the experimental diagrams and flipped through the data reports, and finally confirmed the validity of the results - of course, with the help of a master from Blue Star, it was still difficult to fail.
The essence of this kind of artificial muscle is to use biological programming to generate a bunch of special proteins, and then cooperate with high-strength fibers to achieve arbitrary contraction and restoration controlled by electric current, completing muscle-like work behavior.
Ye Ming is a very active person. After confirming the results, he immediately pushed the results directly to Brother Yang Chaoxiong, who is currently in charge of the robot project at Jizhi Technology. Unexpectedly, the other party's answer was that he was rushing to the brain-computer center...
Well, it seems that those in charge are more anxious than themselves.
But now that Yang Chaoxiong came in person, Ye Ming was too embarrassed to stay in the office anymore. Instead, he accompanied him to the laboratory upstairs and witnessed with his own eyes a piece of mediocre "pork belly" being processed under the control of a chip. A perfect contraction.
After returning home from get off work, Etta dove into the basement laboratory and began designing her new body. And in order to "retaliate" for Ye Ming's lack of attention, she did not ask for Ye Ming's opinion at all on her structural design. Instead, she enthusiastically held Qi and Mo to discuss it, euphemistically saying that only women understand women.
This discussion lasted until early morning.
What else could Ye Ming say? Of course he climbed into bed first and went to sleep.
The next day, Ye Ming came to the conference room on the sixth floor early and began to preside over the travel and detection of the Triangulum Galaxy.
…
In the conference room, Udalisi's image appeared on an empty seat.
"According to our historical records, the current stargate exit of the Triangulum Galaxy should have an operating period very close to the main sequence star in its habitable zone. If it were your distance, it should be 100 million kilometers."
Udalisi's voice was calm and his expression was serious.
This is not the first time he has participated in a human conference - human scholars have also participated in academic conferences in the Holy City through video. But it was the first time for Uda to participate in a meeting like this with other leaders from high-level human departments, so he acted extremely cautiously.
The reason why he was allowed to participate was not only that humans wanted to give the Blue Star people a good impression of cooperation, but the main reason was that the Blue Star people were the early discoverers of the Triangulum Galaxy, and they had a lot of valuable contact experience and records. ——They even translated the words.
"That means we can see habitable planets when we go out, right?" Director Zhang looked at the other party and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes."
"So such a close distance, won't it have an impact on the planet?" General Kamit, the international leader from Taiyue, immediately asked in unskilled Chinese.
This Kamite has a background in astrophysics, and can be considered one of the few officials with a scientist background in the field of science and technology.
"If you are referring to your gravity, it must have an impact, and it is not small." Uda looked at the other party. Seeing that the other party was wearing a uniform with a bunch of stars on it, he knew that the other party must be in the war. Hearing this, he said in a deep voice Said: "Actually, this is also a periodic test of a planet by the universe. Stable celestial systems like Blue Star are rare in the universe."
"That's not necessarily the case. Five thousand years ago, if you hadn't taken action, humanity might have disappeared?" Ye Ming took the topic with a smile and said cheerfully: "And the exit of our wormhole will also be in forty." It will reach low-Earth orbit within this year, and it’s hard to say whether it will be stable or not.”
"Forty years later, you should have a way to deal with the crisis, right?"
"Well... I'll lend you some good words." As he spoke, Ye Ming glanced at the time and looked at Director Zhang. After the latter nodded slightly, Ye Ming immediately pulled the microphone to his side.
"Prepare to travel, the three-minute countdown begins."
Following his voice, everyone subconsciously straightened their sitting postures.
Even Utalisi, who was opposite him, looked at him expectantly.
Ye Ming looked at Udalisi's influence from the corner of his eye, and saw that in addition to expectation, there was also nervousness on the other person's face and curiosity that could not be hidden no matter how hard he looked.
The reason... I can figure it out with my toes. This Lord of the Holy Star Ceremony obviously wants to find out how humans can successfully complete the Star Gate crossing without strange substances to open the space barrier.
Well, this is the highest technology of mankind.
In order to cooperate with Udalisi's attendance at the meeting, Ye Ming would not even show his pre-travel state as usual, and everyone stared at him.
Time gradually passed by silently. As Ye Ming's countdown ended, a laser instantly lowered on the table in the conference room, and then the laser spread out, forming a three-dimensional image.
Aita's voice sounded again.
"Information feedback has been received and the crossing is completed."
"Start the camera."
"Received, the order has been executed."
As Aita's voice fell, light flashed on the desktop, and countless pictures began to be rendered.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the picture from the detection spacecraft.
Even Ye Ming couldn't help but open his mouth wide, as if his eyes were about to fall out.
"Fuck!"
"Fuck!"
"What level of civilization is this?"
"Are we preparing for an invasion or a war?"
"Is this the Executor?"
…
On the screen, a majestic metal ring in space comes into view. From the outside, it looks like a super accelerator built by humans on the moon that has been enlarged ten times, and it also looks like the "barrel" of a super cannon.
Surrounding the metal building, countless small spaceships were flying up and down, assembling sets of parts on top of the building.
As the camera moves farther away, a red and blue planet comes into view. A little further away, you can even vaguely see a huge group of space buildings!
Under the brilliance of main sequence stars, human detectors are so small that they are almost invisible in front of these miracles of space.
Everyone in the room, including Uda, fell into shock and silence at the same time.
The Triangulum Galaxy actually hides such a developed interstellar civilization?
Or in other words, it only took them five thousand years to evolve from a barbaric and backward era to such an extent?
In the conference room, it was so quiet that you could hear the sound of steel needles falling.
At this moment, Aita's voice sounded.
"Electromagnetic wave signal received."
"An object moving at high speed has been detected."
Aita's voice broke the silence and brought everyone back to their senses, and then looked at Ye Ming instantly.
Ye Ming's eyes flashed and he quickly said in a deep voice: "Can you translate?"
"Cannot be translated, the encoding is not recognized by the database."
Ye Ming frowned. At this moment, Director Niu's voice sounded loudly: "Aim at the frequency band and send friendly messages directly."
"Received, message sent."
Director Niu ignored Aita, but looked directly at Ye Ming, and then at Udalisi: "What do you say?"
Of these two, one is the smartest on earth, and the other is the smartest among the descendants of the Blue Stars and the most experienced in the field...
Faced with this unexpected encounter, they should of course be consulted for their opinions.
"Aita, keep the detector where it is and continue sending friendly codes." Ye Ming looked at the screen and saw two fast-moving light spots flying towards him. He immediately ordered Eta in his mind. , start the optical astronomical telescope, and at the same time zoom in on the picture.
Under the astronomical telescope, although it was still a little blurry, it could still be seen that they were two battleships.
At this time, the electromagnetic wave signal from the opposite side was sent again.
Ye Ming closed his eyes, took a few quick breaths, his mind whirled rapidly, and then looked at Uda.
"Uda, do you know why the civilization of the Triangulum Galaxy has such a highly developed form?"
Uda's attention was originally focused on the picture, but now he immediately turned to look at Ye Ming: "Why?"
Ye Ming took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.
"I guess it's probably because of you."
As Ye Ming's voice fell, everyone looked at Uda at the same time.
Uda also frowned. Gradually, he took a deep breath, and then his eyes slowly brightened. Even in the end, he became excited!
"Yes! Why don't you try changing our encoding?"
"Yes!" Ye Ming nodded and immediately ordered: "Aita, change the electromagnetic signal code of Blue Star."
After finishing speaking, Ye Ming composed himself and then looked at the people who looked puzzled.
After a few seconds of silence, Ye Ming said softly: "When Blue Star faced a disaster, it was not only Udalisi and his group who escaped, but other people also escaped."
"The direction they fled should be the direction of the Triangulum Galaxy, and then... they hid in the Triangulum Galaxy."
As he spoke, Ye Ming stared closely at the space building in front of him.
Ten thousand question marks rose in his mind.
But since this galaxy also has descendants of the Blue Star people, what is the purpose of building such a huge thing here?
He is engaged in big projects, and he knows that such a huge structure is definitely not built to look good!
Especially close to the wormhole...
