Since the first discovery of traces of an alien spacecraft, humanity has adjusted all its detectors and telescopes to this direction.
Finally, a month later, traces of an alien spaceship were discovered in another nebula.
Over the next three months, under Ye Chen's personal supervision, more information about the alien spaceship was discovered, and even a very blurry image of the spaceship was captured.
Based on this information and after careful calculation, Ye Chen arrived at a conclusion that he had no choice but to accept.
This is a huge alien spaceship, with a diameter of at least 30,000 meters.
Despite rapid development in recent years, the largest spaceship humans can build is only 2,000 meters long, which is far from the size of alien spaceships.
Human-made spaceships, according to civilization level, barely reach level 1.5.
According to Sophon's calculations, this alien spaceship should be classified as between level 2.3 and 2.4.
With weapons that are almost a generation apart, no matter how many times he had Sophon conduct military chess simulations, humanity had no chance of winning!
Soon, the Blue Star United Government convened a special meeting on this matter.
Faced with the calculated results, the senior officials of the coalition government fell silent.
"Advisor Ye, the alien spaceship is expected to arrive in the solar system in another ten years or so. During this time, will we be able to build more powerful weapons and spaceships?" an official broke the silence and asked hopefully.
After the coalition government was established, Ye Chen was also recommended to serve as the coalition government's chief science and technology advisor.
As soon as the consul finished speaking, everyone in the meeting turned their attention to him.
If anyone could give them hope, it would undoubtedly be Ye Chen.
His rise to prominence in just a few short years has already led to a leap forward in human technology.
At the current rate, in a little over ten years, we should be able to advance human technology to a higher level!
Ye Chen was silent for a while before slowly saying, "The more advanced the technology becomes, the more time it takes. At the current rate of development, although a dozen years or so can allow our technology to advance further, the possibility of building weapons and spaceships that can rival alien spaceships is extremely slim."
His words caused a change in the expressions of everyone present, and another governor hurriedly asked, "Advisor Ye, if we combine the power of all mankind, how long can we achieve a technological breakthrough at the fastest?"
"Time is uncertain, but the chances are slim," Ye Chen said, shaking his head.
Upon hearing this, the governor's expression turned serious, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he said, "We'll risk it all! We'll build even more spaceships and defensive cannons! Even a lot of ants can kill an elephant!"
"This combat method might be somewhat useful for civilizations below Type I, but it won't work in interstellar warfare."
Ye Chen said with a wry smile, "The gap in technology cannot be bridged by quantity!"
The atmosphere in the meeting room became unusually heavy. An impatient United Government official blurted out, "Are we humans just supposed to sit here and wait to die?"
"We only have one way out: to make technological breakthroughs as much as possible," Ye Chen said silently.
"Advisor Ye, didn't you say that breakthroughs in science and technology are extremely unlikely?" an official asked in surprise.
"Leave it to me. I will do my best to build a spaceship that can rival aliens," Ye Chen said.
He wasn't just making things up; a dozen years is equivalent to over a thousand years in the Chenyue Cave Heaven.
If all of this time could be devoted to scientific research, it would be enough to break through to the third level of technological civilization!
However, although Ye Chen was enhanced by advanced body enhancement agents, breaking through the limits of human physiology and increasing his lifespan to around 500 years old.
500 years is a lot of time, but scientific research is extremely energy-consuming, and it is impossible to devote all of that time to research.
Actually, if we can have 200 years to dedicate to scientific research after excluding rest time, that would be quite good!
As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, everyone in the conference hall beamed with joy.
One of the officials said, "With Advisor Ye's words, we can rest assured!"
The others nodded in agreement, showing even greater confidence in Ye Chen than Ye Chen himself!
After returning to the Mousse headquarters, Ye Chen gathered Li Muyue and Wang Yuxi together and explained his plan.
"Over the next few years, I will spend most of my time in Chenyue Cave, focusing on developing a spaceship of the second-level civilization. Only then will humanity have the power to fight back. With the support of the solar system's defenses, we might be able to turn the tide of battle," Ye Chen said with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuxi and Li Muyue exchanged a glance. Li Muyue hesitated for a moment before saying, "Honey, should we tell some of the scientists about the secret of Chenyue Cave and let them go in to help you with your research?"
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "I've also considered this idea, but I'll give up on it in the end. With these scientists' current lifespans, they'll run out of time doing research in Chenyue Cave."
"Moreover, the technological breakthroughs achieved in Morning Moon Cave Heaven still need to be replicated in the real world. These scientists are the main force, and it's not appropriate to let them expend their energy in Morning Moon Cave Heaven," he continued to explain.
Wang Yuxi muttered from the side, "It's a pity that we can't break through the limit of human lifespan. If we could have more lifespan, we could help you in there."
After several years of research, advanced body enhancers have solved the problem of repairing genes after they break down, giving users a chance to recover if they fail.
However, this also brings a side effect: for those who fail to break through, the difficulty of breaking through again will be doubled.
As expected, after three failures, there is basically no possibility of a breakthrough.
In addition, taking advanced body enhancers requires extremely high physical fitness, and the probability of breaking through is very low.
So far, only Ye Chen has successfully broken through after taking the advanced body enhancement agent. None of the subsequent volunteers who joined the experiment have succeeded yet!
Ye Chen patted Wang Yuxi on the shoulder and comforted her, "Your mission is also very important. The existing security forces need to be expanded. In addition, we need to do our best to collect information on alien spaceships. The more detailed the information, the more targeted the weapons I develop will be!"
Wang Yuxi nodded firmly, her eyes revealing determination and resolve.
Ye Chen turned to Li Muyue and said, "Muyue, you need to step up again. You personally oversee the Musi Group, mobilize all resources, and prepare the materials for the construction of the Level 2 spaceship!"
Li Muyue nodded gently; years of working together as husband and wife meant she didn't need Ye Chen to explain further.
Ye Chen looked at his two wives and said solemnly, "Even for the sake of our children, we must defeat the invasion of alien civilizations and not let our descendants become wanderers in the stars!"
