Chapter 5: New human agency

The new shuttle is equipped with multiple small and medium-sized missile launch holes and external heavy-duty cannons for large warships. At the same time, the shuttle's built-in energy circuit has been modified, and a new shuttle energy reserve system has been added. The sustainable sailing time is longer than

The old shuttle has improved by about 60%.

Of course, the speed, maneuverability, engines, etc. are all in the style of old-fashioned shuttles. In fact, even old-fashioned shuttles are the latest scientific and technological achievements of mankind in the 1930s. With the current human technology, especially

Therefore, it is difficult to copy the scientific and technological reserves on the Hope, and it is impossible to modify its main components. The only modified energy circuit and energy storage system are actually thanks to the blessing of alien plants.

New conductor alloys make it possible to transform.

However, this transformation can only go so far. If you want to go further, you must make humankind's current technology even further, for example...

The destination created by the new shuttle!

That area of ​​alien battleship ruins!

There should actually be two new shuttles, but the other new shuttle was on the third floor of the underground temporary residence. After the earthquake broke out, the new shuttle that was still being manufactured was buried like this, so so far,

The Hope only has one old shuttle and one new shuttle.

Naturally, there is nothing to say about the candidates for the trial of this new shuttle. Ying and Li Haiyun were chosen. Both are new humans. Ying is the clearer and Li Haiyun is the sensor. In fact, Zhang Heng or Li Haiyun should be added.

It's just a matter of time. With one more predictor, there won't be any surprises.

Unfortunately, Zhang Heng is still too weak to carry out this trial voyage. He is still recovering.

Another candidate, Ren Chuanyue, has not completed basic military training. In fact, Ren Chuanyue's character really fits the character Ren, but she is a willful Ren, with the character of a squeamish young lady. She can't stand it when she's tired or thirsty.

, it won’t work if it’s too hot... Well, the room temperature on the Hope is always over 20 degrees, so it’s impossible to get hot, but it will get hot while running, so it won’t work if it gets too hot.

In this way, her military training was delayed for several periods. The most important thing is that a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old could not be beaten or scolded... As a person who had participated in the rescue operation of the underground temporary residence, and as a second-largest

Who dares to scold Yu Zhang Heng, the prophet hero?

All in all, such a delicate woman is simply not a soldier.

Because of this, Yao Yuan, who felt a little headache, wished he could join the trial voyage. Anyway, he also has the ability to predict. Although it is not as good as Zhang Heng and Ren Chuanyue, it can still be used as a warning device, right?

However, after being persuaded by many people, Yao Yuan finally gave up this plan, and the final candidates were locked in Ying and Li Haiyun.

The first trial operation lasted for six hours. In addition to the navigation, maneuvering, energy consumption, energy reserves and other issues of the new shuttle, moderate experiments were also conducted on the weapons and equipment installed on it, such as missiles, machine guns, etc.

It is basically in line with the results calculated by those scientists. In particular, the range of the machine gun is farther than expected, and it can basically be used as a short-range to medium-range weapon.

In this way, the trial operation started and ended calmly. There were six trials in total. Except for some basic minor problems, there were no major problems. Therefore, the hardware conditions for exploring the ruins of alien warships were already in place.

“Then, it’s time to explore the issue of candidates.”

Yao Yuan looked at the members of the Black Star team in front of him and said: "I have decided that more than 80% of the candidates for the early exploration will be new humans, or even all of them will be new humans. There will be about eleven to twelve people for the first batch of exploration, and the Hope will stay in the ruins zone.

Three hundred to five hundred kilometers away, and then a new shuttle will carry the first batch of explorers into the ruins."

"The entire exploration operation can be roughly divided into four steps. First, the shuttle will go to the outermost periphery of the ruins, first obtain various metal fragments of different sizes, and then carry the Hope to conduct various technical analyses, thereby accurately determining that this

The technological level of the space battleship group. At the same time, this first step is to tentatively approach the ruins, which is very dangerous. You must always pay attention to the space defense system of the alien battleship that may attack, such as lasers, particle beams, or super powerful or

Super-fast missiles and the like, or even both are possible. The first step is to draw out any possible attacks..."

"It's very dangerous." Yao Yuan reminded again.

It was dinner time, and today was also the last day of the new shuttle's trial run. Yao Yuan summoned the members of the Black Star team, and at the dinner table, he began to talk to them about the upcoming alien spacecraft exploration mission.

"The first step is the most dangerous, so in the first step of the exploration operation, I will personally lead the team, and then Zhang Heng will also participate, and there will be Ying. The three of us will go there. Once we sense danger, we will return immediately.

Yao Yuan continued.

At this time, Wang Guangzheng suddenly asked: "Old Yao, what about drones? Didn't some scientists propose it before? That kind of small mining machine uses an unmanned operating system, and according to calculations, it can go up to a thousand kilometers

For far-reaching ranges, wouldn’t it be enough to just use drones?”

Yao Yuan shook his head, he picked up a spring roll from the table, took a big bite and said: "The key problem is that we don't know the technological level of this alien civilization. Yes, when the Hope goes to the ruins

When one thousand kilometers away, no less than fifty unmanned mining machines will be released, which will go deep into the ruins. Of course, due to distance problems and radiation resistance problems of remote technology, these low-cost unmanned mining machines will

The human mining machine cannot recover it, but it can already activate part of the possible alien defense system."

"But! This is just a guess based on the level of science and technology of us humans. This situation is thanks to two scientists, Ellen and Polly. They put forward a different point of view, that is, the level of technological progress is different.

The handling of the same problem will be completely different. The key point is that we don’t know the other party’s technological level.”

Speaking of this, Yao Yuan looked at the people around him who didn't understand. He smiled bitterly and explained: "I didn't think so much at first, but after their explanation, I broke out in a cold sweat.

, let me make a simple analogy, fishing... Every fishing veteran knows one thing. Many fish will test your bait, making your float look like it is swaying. A novice fisher who can’t calm down will immediately pull up the fish.

rod, and the fish ran away."

"Skilled fishing veterans will be able to distinguish whether the fish is eating the bait or the fish is testing. Only when the fish eats the bait will they pull up the fishing rod fiercely."

"The same principle." Yao Yuan finished the spring roll in one bite and swallowed it, then continued: "If we humans have the level of technology, when we are sailing on extraterrestrials, we will scan any material that is close to the Hope.

See what it is. If it is an asteroid, meteor, or rock fragment, we will avoid them, or if we cannot avoid them, we will destroy them."

"If an unnatural substance, such as a round metal ball, approaches our Hope from a distance on its own power, what will be our first reaction?"

Everyone was silent for a moment, and Eagle was the first to say decisively: "Destroy it!"

"Yes, destroy it!" Yao Yuan nodded and said: "There is a problem here, that is, we are completely ignorant of this metal ball, we don't know what it is, even if it keeps emitting electronic signals, we still

We don’t know what it is, so for safety reasons, we will destroy it as soon as possible... But what if it is a peace signal sent to us by aliens? Once destroyed, it means the coming of war!"

"So, when the technological level is in our state, we will be vigilant about anything approaching the Hope and are always ready to destroy it... But what if the civilization in this ruins is much higher than ours? For example, their detection

The instrument can easily analyze all electronic signals, and can analyze the structure and meaning of our human language in the shortest possible time. It can even directly analyze that this metal ball does not have any attack power or detection capabilities.

?”

"If this were the case, what would you do if it were you?"

This time it was Wang Guangzheng who said: "Capture it, check the information it contains, or analyze its technology."

"Yes, that's right." Yao Yuan nodded and said: "With different levels of technology, when facing the same problem, the solutions are also different. Those unmanned mining machines do not have any weapon attack power. If this one is in front of you,

The level of civilization has reached the level I just mentioned, so they are most likely to capture it rather than destroy it directly. Of course, this civilization has disappeared, and what is left is just ruins, so the capture mechanism is no longer possible

But this civilized space battleship still has some very huge fragments, and no one can guarantee whether its weapon mechanism has stopped."

When Yao Yuan said this, he sighed and said: "Because we don't know what level of civilization it has reached, it is definitely not possible to just dispatch unmanned mining machines. Maybe unmanned mining machines can easily bypass those weapon mechanisms, but

The Hope may be smashed into pieces as soon as it passes. It is absolutely impossible for me to risk the future of mankind. Because of this, we need a smaller version of the Hope, with manned pilots, signal communications, weapons and equipment, etc., to

This is the first step to common sense.”

"Okay, the above is the first step of this operation. If everything is safe, then the second step is to form a new human team. Including me, a total of ten to twelve people will enter the ruins to search...

…”

"So, in order to successfully form this team, and to cultivate the other new humans of great value, I decided to establish a new human agency, which is called newtype organs in English, to comprehensively explore all known and unknown new humans among all humans.

, find them, train them, and at the same time teach them how to use and pay attention to the new human skills."
