In the office, Ye Ming sat seriously in front of the camera. On the monitor screen in front of him was a picture of several leaders attending remotely at the same time.
"From a technical point of view, we already have experience in the Sky-Matching Project, so it is not troublesome to complete the enemy's design. The easiest way is to break down the current man-made singularity into several parts and then piece them together. Yes. If it is more complicated, we need to re-evaluate the energy and technology aspects, but overall, it is not a big difficulty. The reason why this design has not been proposed before is mainly because we are taking another path and This relatively backward method and technology was not considered.”
Listening to Ye Ming's explanation, the expressions on the faces of several leaders finally became a little more relaxed.
There is no doubt that the rapidly changing Auriga war situation has put great pressure on mankind, especially the technology that can directly "summon thousands of armies" with a few spacecrafts, which directly amplifies the enemy's strength by more than one order of magnitude.
The current advantages of human beings lie in the industrial ability to launch dumplings in space, and the distance advantage compared to those who perform "coming from afar".
——Why does the Community dare to launch a great space voyage immediately after mankind has won a victory? The fundamental reason is that when the Executor fleet set off, it was three years ago!
As long as this wave is eliminated, it means that mankind will have at least three years of strategic buffer period. When the war starts, the executors will not only face a few dozen warships, but hundreds or thousands of warships. Ship! Moreover, the number of warships has increased, and there are even upgraded rice grains. The upgraded warships... What do you think humans have to worry about?
But as the enemy can open artificial wormholes... this directly erases those three years, which is equivalent to humans facing the enemy's barracks! The few months it takes for humans to arrive at the Auriga battlefield from the earth will become their most fatal weakness - even if humans can "hang up" and produce a hundred warships in a month, which can be delivered to the battlefield, at least It will take two to three months!
Therefore, what leaders are most concerned about is whether humans can use the same method of force projection.
But Ye Ming said that this technology of using multiple ships to form an artificial singularity can be reproduced by humans, but it is still relatively backward... How can this not make everyone feel at ease?
At this time, a leader asked curiously: "What is the other path we are taking? Curvature forward?"
"Well... it's more advanced than the curvature engine." Ye Ming paused and explained: "We have been promoting the unification of the multi-dimensional universe. Once the theory is completed, we will be able to allow warships to directly use inter-dimensional space without passing through any devices. way to enter the specified three-dimensional space.”
I don’t know if the leader understood it. Anyway, he nodded and didn’t speak. Instead, he picked up a pen and started writing.
At this time, when the leader saw that Ye Ming had stopped reporting, he smiled slightly, looked at his notebook, and continued to ask: "Academician Ye, can you give us the time when we can use the new technology in war? I mean including curvature New generation weapons and equipment such as missiles and new main guns, as well as the artificial wormholes you just mentioned that can be used to transport spaceships.”
Hearing that the leader asked for time, Ye Ming felt a thump in his heart and hesitated.
As a scientist and engineer, he never dared to say anything that was not certain, and he did not like to "establish military orders."
But when he saw everyone's eyes looking at him, he knew...if he didn't give a time, I'm afraid everyone here would not feel at ease.
Seeing Ye Ming's hesitation, the leader crossed his fingers on his chest, and the expression on his face became serious: "Academician Ye, you don't have to worry about resources and cooperation. This is a matter of life and death for the entire earth and the entire human civilization."
"If the green light is given and the resources are in place, we will be able to have the artificial wormhole device reach the front line in up to a year and a half."
"As for other weapons, they will be able to enter the testing phase in about half a year. If everything goes well, they will be fully installed and upgraded in about a year."
The leader thought thoughtfully: "That means we still need to resist in Auriga for at least another year and a half, right?"
Ye Ming knew that this involved the entire strategic deployment, so he expressed it as perfectly as possible: "If we use the Auriga Galaxy as the battlefield, this is it."
——In the past few days, although Ye Ming did not directly participate in the above meetings, many meeting requirements were sent directly to him, so he knew what attitude to adopt when dealing with the "upgraded" enemy. The entire high-level community was in a quarrel.
One side's point of view is naturally that since the enemy has "upgraded", it stands to reason that humans should also raise the level of war and implement a comprehensive wartime system - this is not the "playing house" that humans used to engage in world wars, but A war to destroy the world! You must keep your spirits up! Even if you can agree this time, you must realize that the enemy aims to destroy human civilization and does not have any personal hatred.
This is a life-and-death war. Even if we have to fight the executor for a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years...human beings will still have to fight!
The other group of people believes that with the current state of mankind, it is delusional to establish a wartime system for the entire human race - not to mention how to make the common people believe that the Taiyue Fleet's war thousands of light years away is for the life and death of mankind. There are so many countries in human society, and the community structure is not even a federal system, it can only be regarded as the United Nations PLUS...it is only a little better than a piece of loose sand. Even if the war system is forcibly implemented, how can this bowl of water be leveled? If there is no justice, will the people have any objections? Once things are settled, will there be more opinions?
Don't let the aliens fail to win the war, causing internal conflicts among the people on the earth and causing widespread complaints. That would be boring.
Of course, there are also relatively moderate considerations, which is to maintain the current situation without affecting the lives of ordinary people as much as possible, increase expenditures on war, and at the same time promote global joint governance as soon as possible - to put it bluntly, we must pay attention to both sides. . Once the situation is dangerous, we can also prepare for a full-scale war of resistance in the future.
But now, Ye Ming doesn't know whether there is a unified idea among the people above, and what the unified idea is.
Whether it is him, the NCY department, or Taiyue's military, they will never take a position in this regard. They just dutifully provide various analyzes and predictions to serve the BOSSs in making decisions.
"Academician Ye." At this time, another BOSS stopped Ye Ming: "Through analysis, what is the probability that our army will stabilize the battle line at Auriga?"
Ye Ming's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the old man and subconsciously showed hesitation.
These days, in addition to discussing whether to implement the wartime system, the more discussion is about the choice of battlefield.
Or just follow the current strategic plan and fight the enemy to the death in Auriga, even if it turns Auriga into a space cemetery.
Either temporarily abandon the Auriga Galaxy and then rely on blocking the star gate for defense.
Of these two options, the advantage of the former is that it allows humans to have a large combat space, take the initiative on the battlefield, and even possibly secure a hidden star gate. The shortcoming is also obvious, that is, humans will have a head-to-head confrontation with the Executor fleet - a battleship is worth tens of billions, and all of this is money!
The advantage of the latter is that it can make full use of the high-dimensional space membrane of the Sky-Mending Project, as well as the Kodo people's "internal fleet" and "aggregated particle fortress main gun" of the Eye Star for defense, and the losses will be reduced by then. very many. But the shortcomings are also obvious: humans voluntarily abandon the battlefield and lose the initiative on the battlefield.
These days, the meetings that Ye Ming attended in Taiyue have been discussing this.
Just as Ye Ming generally didn't express his stance in Taiyue meetings, here...he didn't know how to express his stance.
According to his ideas and considering the future of mankind, it is natural to save the Auriga battlefield first, and then save the artificial planet No. 4 - don't forget, this is the real super project, a miraculous existence! Not to mention, that wormhole also leads to an antimatter-rich star field visible to the naked eye.
But in this case, the loss would be too great.
Just when Ye Ming was hesitant, the door was gently pushed open.
Ye Ming was slightly startled and immediately looked at the door - such an important high-level video conference, let alone no one dared to disturb him, even if someone came to see it, they would never be able to pass Su Zi's level.
So when he saw Su Zi standing at the door with a nervous look on his face, he subconsciously frowned slightly.
Su Zi had a nervous look on her face, holding a large tablet in her hand and making gestures with her mouth at him.
Ye Ming glanced at it and saw a high-definition picture of a missile on the tablet, and... judging from the shape of his mouth, it seemed like it was from Li Dongsheng?
But even if it was sent by Li Dongsheng, there was no reason to bother him at this time.
But then, he saw Su Zi lightly swiping on the tablet, and a row of eye-catching large characters appeared on the next page.
"Captain Li guessed that this might be an antimatter collection device."
Ye Ming's pupils shrank instantly. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice to the camera: "Leader, please wait a moment. I just received an aircraft sample from the LC galaxy. I'll take a look first."
During the video conference, all the leaders nodded.

Ten minutes later, Ye Ming ended the meeting and dialed Li Dongsheng's communication channel directly.
"Captain Li, where was this found?"
"It was found in the cargo hold of a spacecraft whose engine was partially damaged by debris." Li Dongsheng had a nervous expression on his face. He just dialed Ye Ming's communication, and the result was transferred directly to Su Zi, and then he was told that Ye Ming was in There was a BOSS meeting, and Ye Ming came back within ten minutes. Obviously, this thing aroused Ye Ming's great interest, and its importance is undoubted.
Li Dongsheng rubbed his hands and said, "Did you show it to the bosses?"
"Do I dare before I'm sure?" Ye Ming controlled an engineering robot and kept wandering around the aircraft, not missing any details - by then he could complete the external modeling: "How do you judge it? Is it related to the antimatter collector?”
"Well...it's based on reasoning." Li Dongsheng recounted his and Chen Xiwen's guessing process.
He fully expected that Ye Ming would be amazed, but he didn't expect that Ye Ming's face would show surprise. He was stunned for a few seconds before saying incredulously: "Is this how you imagined it?"
"Huh? Yes..."
"Nonsense!" Ye Ming withdrew his gaze and stared at Li Dongsheng. Seeing that the other party was also stunned, as if he didn't know where he was wrong, he endured it for a few times and shook his head gently: "What do you do and what do you do? ...What’s the difference between Eyes of the Sahara and the mythological enthusiasts guessing Atlantis? It’s far-fetched!”
"Forehead……"
After being denied by Ye Ming for a while, Li Dongsheng immediately felt at a loss and lowered his head guiltily: "Then what is it?"
"How do I know what it is without dismantling it?"
"The problem is that it can't be disassembled... We don't see any screws."
"Have you had an X-ray scan?"
"not yet."
"..." Ye Ming was speechless: "Okay, you go away first, and then set up an X-ray scanning environment, and then the microwave radar can also go in from the engine part to explore."
"How can I build an environment when I'm gone?"
"Set it up first and then walk away...Brother...have you not rested for a long time?" Ye Ming stared at Li Dongsheng's heavy dark circles and couldn't help but sigh: "Go and rest as soon as you are done. And ...You should come back soon."
"Well, I was just about to tell you that we will return in about a week."
"Okay, you do it first."
Li Dongsheng nodded, but after all he still stared at the camera: "Then what do you think this is? It can't be a missile!"
Ye Ming was slightly startled, and after a few seconds of silence, he breathed softly: "If it can be confirmed that there is an antimatter storage device inside it... then it may indeed be used to collect antimatter."
Li Dongsheng was stunned: "You...fuck you! Aren't you just relying on guessing?"
…
Ye Ming naturally didn't rely on guessing.
Because he has completed the modeling of the entire external structure of the aircraft, and then conducted partial simulations, it was determined that some of the textures on the exterior of the aircraft belong to the release channels of strange substances. After the strange substances are released through such a design, a similar high-rise environment will be generated. A membrane wall like a dimensional space membrane - from this point, it can also be proved from the side that strange matter is a substance from high-dimensional space.
Having a high-dimensional space membrane means that it can avoid annihilation with antimatter, and it also means that it can enter the antimatter mining area.
As for the other part of the design, he was not sure of its function for a while.
But from various reports on strange substances, he vaguely felt that the design of this thing took advantage of the spatial regressivity of strange substances.
It is somewhat similar to creating a singularity that continuously absorbs "matter" from the outside world - don't forget, the Blue Star people used "Slanqi matter" to create an artificial singularity, which then attracted the attention of the executor, and finally Leading to the destruction of civilization.
If the "end" of this singularity lies in the antimatter constraint position...
After thinking for a moment, Ye Ming sent a call request to Uda.
