Chapter 423: All Are Ordinary People
This ancient detector gradually went farther and farther away...
Soon, it could no longer be seen with the naked eye.
"What a lonely traveler, the last seed of the Tucker civilization, good luck!" Yu Yi murmured to himself.
Recalling what he had experienced in the past few hours, he was in a trance, like a dream, and he was still in a confused state.
I don't know what the final destination of the detector is, whether it will be destroyed, fall into a desolate planet, or... be accepted by a low-level civilization...
"Okay, we have to start our work quickly... We can't be sentimental anymore."
He shook his head violently, trying to get rid of that confused state.
As for the tachyon detector...Although it's a bit regrettable, forget it. It's something from the Seeder civilization, and it's better not to touch it without permission.
"Let's develop our own technology honestly...This time, we have to rely on ourselves for nanotechnology and completely walk out of our own path!" Yu Yifeng clenched his fist.
That being said, people's mood was still a little low for a while.
There is an unimaginable gap between civilizations, and they have witnessed it with their own eyes. This makes scientists quite uninterested, because no matter how hard they try, they can't catch up... This feeling is really bad.
But soon, they adjusted their mentality and pulled their thoughts back to reality.
"No matter what, we still have to proceed step by step, instead of relying on others."
For now, since the risk has been passed, the most important thing is to continue to replace the curvature engine and repair the spacecraft to achieve a higher navigation speed.
The faster the curvature navigation speed, the higher the energy consumption, but theoretically speaking, 5 times the speed of light, the current nuclear explosion reactor can barely afford it.
"The Deep Space is an old spaceship after all. It was designed when we were on Nix. At that time, we were still a low-level civilization, and our technology was definitely not as good as it is now..."
"Some generators have low energy utilization rates, and some other equipment is also relatively old-fashioned..."
Yu Yifeng said to the scientists below: "So, in the future, we plan to use nanomaterials to build a new generation of motherships for civilization to achieve higher functions... Well, some mechanical structures should also be changed to obtain greater acceleration in emergency situations. You can design this part of the work..."
"Once we find the next foothold and obtain resources, we can carry out mass production."
These words helped everyone find their goals and get rid of the confusion in their hearts.
"Also, regarding the information provided by the Seeder Civilization... Everyone can think about it first. It's getting late. Go and rest. We will discuss it in the evening."
Just like that, everyone hurried away.
After being busy for so long, those who need to rest should rest, and those who need to eat should eat.
Dr. Rambo, who was walking in front, suddenly laughed at himself: "It's so realistic... People are made of iron, and food is made of steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will be hungry. Just now, we were still talking and exchanging philosophical issues with the great existence, and now we are all going to eat... It's so tacky, so tacky!"
A middle-aged scientist nearby said: "Eating is our philosophy of survival. What do you know? If you don't eat for three days, I guess you won't even be able to think. I swear, except for eating, you won't think about anything in your head."
Another female scientist also laughed: "Alas, I don't know if other advanced civilizations eat. It is possible that they have not eaten for a long time. Except for the brain full of secrets, other parts of the body are still very easy to transform..."
Yu Yifeng listened to their discussion and followed the large group to the big rice bucket canteen.
He found a secluded seat and sat down. After searching the menu for a long time, he ordered a bowl of beef fried rice and a bowl of seaweed soup.
This set meal is the latest developed style, and he likes the taste very much.
After a while, the robot brought the plate up.
A handful of beef was sprinkled on the light yellow rice, and the portion was very sufficient. The beef looked like it was made of pieces, as if it had been seasoned with some kind of sauce, oily but not greasy, with a hint of luster.
Because of the work of the robot, even the size of the cuts was exactly the same, thin slices, and it looked very good.
The fried rice was also served with eggs, carrots, etc., making the color no longer monotonous.
In the cafeteria of the Noah, there could be no shortage of weights. Everything was free, and everyone was fed until they were full. Even though the current resources were relatively scarce, everyone's food was still very exquisite.
"Even if robots can make the soul of food, we are used to it anyway... Eating artificial food is hypocritical."
Artificial meat has begun to be produced on a large scale. Using some animal stem cells, in a special nutrient solution, a large piece of meat can be produced. The efficiency is much higher than ordinary breeding, and there are no troublesome procedures such as animal husbandry and slaughter.
Some members of animal protection associations can also accept this more gentle breeding method...
He didn't think too much about these miscellaneous things. He smelled the aroma brought by the fried rice, picked up a piece of beef, and put it in his mouth.
As soon as you take a bite, the rich flavor of beef hits your taste buds, instantly whetting your appetite. After one piece, you'll have another. The beef is eaten with rice, which is neither salty nor bland. Add to that the right amount of vegetables, and it's a perfect taste combination.
Yu Yifeng unknowingly ate a whole plate of fried rice, then stopped to drink some soup to dilute the greasiness in his mouth.
This meal was very satisfying.
However, adhering to the concept of saving, he still swallowed every grain of rice into his stomach.
At this time, he heard another satisfied exclamation, and looked up. It was Wang Yufan, a member of the Propaganda Department and the think tank.
He saw Yu Yifeng's eyes moving over and smiled embarrassedly.
Yu Yifeng also smiled at him, as a greeting.
He suddenly sighed a little: "Human beings, as a creature, so far, can't do without the four words 'food, clothing, housing and transportation'. No matter if you are a hero, or a handsome man or a beautiful woman, don't you still have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate?"
"If all these things are discarded, we may have become another kind of creature... For the time being... Can't be discarded."
"We are not the greatest creatures in the universe... But why should we pursue this goal?"
After thinking for a long time, he still felt that some things were difficult to figure out, so he stopped thinking about it and gave up the entanglement in this regard.
"People still have to learn to be satisfied."
After dinner, Yu Yifeng took another quarter of an hour walk. When he returned to the conference room, he found that most people were already waiting anxiously.
He smiled calmly and walked to the front of the podium: "Then let's get started!"
The three-hour conversation with the Seeder Civilization still contained a lot of content. Although most of it was philosophical speculation, overall, people can still get a lot of relevant content about the universe, especially the Milky Way.
"There are too many fools in the vast Milky Way, and there are not many smart and potential civilizations." Although the light group did not say this directly, it hinted at this meaning.
That was a helpless tone...
Yu Yifeng said at the front of the podium: "... This conclusion is to tell everyone that we should not belittle ourselves. At least we are not as good as the best, but better than the worst. Even if we reach the center of the Milky Way, the probability of encountering interstellar civilizations is not high, and if we meet, they may not be hostile."
"This is a conclusion that is beneficial to us."
"But the second conclusion... is not so wonderful. This Seeder civilization implements a 'non-interference policy', but for other advanced civilizations, we cannot rule out whether their policies are friendly... As everyone knows, such civilizations have capabilities that have surpassed our imagination, and their influence is really too great."
"Their casual actions can affect us as interstellar civilizations."
"We cannot rule out that these other...unknown specific levels of civilizations have good intentions or bad intentions towards us."
When saying this, Yu Yifeng's expression was a little serious, as if he was stating something important that concerned everyone.
Because the genes for human appearance symptoms may have been modified!
When people heard about this, they had an unspeakable feeling in their hearts... There was curiosity, resentment, and worry. It was even difficult for humans to change this established fact.
Although the sower only called this civilization "little guys", this civilization is completely unimaginably huge compared to humans!
"I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, we are still quite satisfied with our current appearance..."
