In the 6680th year of the Xia calendar,

the Founder II spacecraft captured the Founder I spacecraft, which had run out of energy. Although the Founder II spacecraft was launched more than a hundred years later than the Founder I, the Founder II was faster and had a higher technological content.

Every spacecraft that can travel far into the universe is extremely expensive, so all that can be recycled must be recycled, not to mention that there are still a lot of confidential data on it.

The Founder II spacecraft will release some signal repeaters along the way for signal transmission. If it eventually reaches the New Hope Planet, the message there will be transmitted at the speed of light, and it will only take seven years to be transmitted back. This is the fastest technical means at present. Whether the signal transmission can exceed the speed of light in the future is unknown.

The speed of light is still the fastest speed at present, but some people have proposed the concept of quantum. Perhaps the transmission speed of quantum will be faster in the future, but that is a matter for the future, and it is not possible technically at present.

"Ancestor Lin, come this way."

Cao Wang guided Lin Jiang and Cao Ying to the command center of the space center. This is the latest command center built, and the technology has been upgraded and improved.

"There are many new faces in the command center, Cao Wang."

"Yes, it's already the 6680th year of the Xia calendar in the blink of an eye. Many people in the aerospace center have changed several times, and their cultivation levels are only at the foundation-building stage and the golden elixir stage."

Cao Wang said. Everyone has different talents. Even if his subordinates have super high treatment, not everyone can continuously improve their cultivation.

"Is this little brother also a newcomer?"

"Yes, Elder Lin, let me introduce you. This is Liang Long, my right-hand man. He has the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He has extremely high talent and intelligence. He is currently a top expert in seven fields. In terms of intelligence, I am willing to admit that he is inferior."

Cao Wang pointed at Liang Long and said that Liang Long's ambition was well known in their research institute. He wanted to be the most knowledgeable person and wanted to learn all the knowledge in all fields of society. Cao Wang also supported this, but he would not let him simply learn. He brought Liang Long to work with him 20 years ago. Liang Long lived up to expectations and was very satisfied with what he did.

"There are not many people who can make you admit defeat, it seems that there are only a dozen or so people."

"Yes, more than a dozen of them are monstrous geniuses, but Liang Long is the most monstrous one now."

Cao Wang nodded, and his words revealed his love for Liang Long. Liang Long is really the smartest and most knowledgeable person he has ever met, and he is also humble and studious.

"Congratulations on getting such a good general, Cao Wang."

"Haha, this is also a good general for you, Elder Lin. Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about the current space plan."

"You continue."

"After the observations of Founder I decades ago and the subsequent observations of Founder II, we can almost be sure that New Hope is a habitable planet and a planet where life has been born. It has laid a solid foundation for interstellar immigration and space development.

So I think we should make preparations now, such as building a space carrier that can carry immigrants, and related technical accumulation..."

Cao Wang said slowly. According to him, if we have to wait until Founder II is completely confirmed before preparing, it will be very slow and take a long time, so we have to prepare in advance.

"Can your existing technology complete it?"

"Yes, we have determined through data modeling that New Hope is in an early state of the planet, equivalent to the state of the Blue Star hundreds of millions of years ago, then we can use technical means to accelerate their evolution"

"How to accelerate?"

"Through our geological research, we know that the reason why the planet has had heavy rain for millions of years is because the continents on the planet have formed into one piece, namely Pangaea. Due to the movement of the earth's crust, there have been super-large-scale volcanic eruptions. These are not the small-scale eruptions we usually see, but volcanic eruptions that have lasted for tens of thousands or even millions of years, thus raising the temperature of the entire planet..."

Our solution is nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons with a yield beyond the level of world destruction, to carry out bombing, to accelerate the separation of the New Hope planet's Pan-Continent, and then use the immortal cultivators' formation to stabilize the earth veins, and we can even establish a global formation, such as the former Dutian formation, replacing the formation spirit with artificial intelligence..."

"Wait, how are you sure that the New Hope planet has spiritual energy? If it doesn't, do you know how many spiritual stones are needed to maintain such a large formation? Are you going to dig up all the spiritual stones on Blue Star?"

Lin Jiang immediately questioned, how are you sure that the New Hope planet has spiritual energy? If not, it is impossible to maintain it with spiritual stones. The consumption is too high.

"Ancestor Lin, this..."

"I'll tell you the truth, Cao Wang, because of the space project, some experts have warned me that the consumption of spiritual stones is too high, and it is out of the internal circulation of the blue planet. They have suggested that I reduce the support for space project resources, and I'm almost ready to agree."

Lin Jiang said that the space project requires a large amount of high-quality spiritual stones, and it is outside the internal circulation of the blue planet, which makes relevant people worried.

Spiritual stones and spiritual energy are like water resources. It doesn't matter if they are consumed within the blue planet. They are all a kind of natural cycle, but it's different when they go to outer space.

"Ancestor Lin, you can't listen to them. This is an investment. As long as we can find a new spiritual planet, the return of spiritual stones is terrible. Without this investment, we will never get out of the solar system, and we will gradually die out..."

Cao Wang was shocked. Which bastard is giving him a blind eye? Without spiritual stones as energy, the space project will be directly abandoned. What's the point of him?

"What you said makes sense, and what others said also makes sense, but I have to consider the overall situation, right?"

"Ancestor Lin, actually this problem can be solved."

At this time, Liang Long said weakly, immediately attracting everyone's attention to him.

"You said..."

"Yes, Ancestor, according to our research, spiritual energy is actually a kind of energy. It is not much different from traditional coal energy, solar energy, nuclear energy, and even burning firewood. It's just more advanced. So as long as we do a good job of energy conversion, we can use other energy to replace spiritual energy for space projects."

"But as far as I know, there is no breakthrough in this technology

." Lin Jiang nodded. This statement has been around for a long time, but people before have not been able to break through this technology.

"Ancestor Lin, I have done some research on this, and maybe there is a breakthrough. If the energy can be compressed and purified, perhaps the strength of spiritual energy can be achieved, and other energy sources can drive the operation of some formations, magic weapons, etc."

"Liang Long, are you serious? "

Yes, Lord Cao, in addition, we can also increase research on nuclear fusion technology, there is also an opportunity,"

Liang Long said. They have been researching nuclear fusion technology for many years, but there has been no breakthrough. Investment was cut many years ago, and it is even more impossible to research it out.

"Don't talk about this. I just want to ask you, have there been any breakthroughs in the research?"

"Sir, I have some ideas, but..."

"It's good to have ideas, I will support you,"

Cao Wang interrupted him immediately. It's good to have ideas, no need to say anything else, he will just spend money.
