The follow-up negotiations also went smoothly. The Star Alliance and the Human Federation formed a military alliance. The two parties signed a mutual defense treaty and military exercises and exchanges, and unanimously fought against the Trisolaran civilization.

After the two sides talked, Sai returned to the solar system in a light-speed spaceship. In the 16th year of the Galactic Era, he returned to the capital of the Star Alliance, which is Jupiter in the main world.

The first thing Sai did after returning was to learn from Cheng Xin about the development of the Star Alliance in the past ten years.

"The first is the progress of colonizing the Luman 16 galaxy. Now the three civilizations have determined through detailed investigation that there are no living creatures or civilizations in the Luman 16 galaxy. It is a very safe galaxy." [Note]

"We currently plan to send thirty colonial fleets there, each carrying 100 million colonists and a large amount of industrial equipment. They will build Luman 16 within thirty years."

"Because you once proposed the design of a professional colonial fleet, which gave mankind a large amount of technical reserves and theoretical systems to build alien civilizations from scratch. Our technology in developing alien worlds is not inferior to that of the Trisolarans."

"There are three planets in Luhmann 16, namely two solid planets and one gas planet. According to our colonization plan, the gas planets should be developed first."

"As more colonial fleets arrive, the 16 colonial fleets that arrive later will be responsible for developing two solid planets, while the 14 fleets that arrive first will develop gas planets."

"The reason for this development is simple. Gaseous planets mean abundant fusion fuel, and we are not sure whether there are fusion fuels such as solid water on solid planets."

"At present, the first colonial fleet has set off. Its core is a super giant curvature colonial ship. However, only one colonial ship of this type has been built, so the construction plans of the next thirty fleets have been rejected."

"Why?" Sai asked curiously: "Does this colonial ship have any technical flaws? Or does it not cooperate well with other colonial ships?"

"No, this spaceship is actually perfect, and the colonial fleet has extremely strong colonization capabilities. We have also experimented with this type of spacecraft in the parallel universe, but it does not have a curvature engine."

After Cheng Xin finished speaking, she also brought up the hologram of the spacecraft. Although the surface of the entire spacecraft was not made of strong interaction material, it showed an absolutely smooth mirror surface.

But what shocked Sai the most was the size of this super giant curvature spacecraft. In a sense, this thing was really as huge as a mountain range.

This kind of curvature spacecraft has a mass of tens of billions of tons and is equivalent in volume to 100,000 giant aircraft carriers. People are as inconspicuous as gravel in front of it.

"This colonial ship is so big, almost as big as the Star Destroyer of the Cretaceous Civilization. It seems that our technology has surpassed the Cretaceous Civilization." Sai said with emotion.

"Yes, the size of the spacecraft is the key to our rejection of subsequent construction plans, because the energy output from the fusion reactor is still too small, and only antimatter can propel such a behemoth." Cheng Xin nodded.

"Has a breakthrough been achieved in antimatter annihilation technology?" Sai asked curiously after hearing this.

"Yes, the antimatter annihilation engine reactor, which has been in the laboratory for a long time, finally matured last year. Compared with fusion fuel, the energy density of antimatter fuel is much higher."

"Even if it is just the first prototype, its maximum energy output far exceeds that of a fusion reactor. Taking into account the space saving in fuel, the spacecraft can free up a lot of space."

"No wonder." Sai said after hearing this: "The antimatter annihilation engine not only makes traditional navigation faster, but the space it saves also allows the colonial ship to carry more equipment and resources."

"Yes, many of the places where fusion fuel and fusion reactors were originally stored can be freed up to store other things. This can greatly improve colonization efficiency."

"All subsequent colonial fleets plan to use antimatter annihilation reactors, so we have suspended the previous construction plan and plan to install the antimatter annihilation reactors on the spacecraft first."

"Therefore, Starlink recently plans to increase antimatter production, increase annual antimatter production to 1 million tons within ten years, and further develop antimatter preparation technology."

"For example, the black hole manufacturing method has been very popular in recent years. Some people have proposed using the gravitational field of the black hole to create antimatter, as well as capturing the magnetic field around the sun, etc."

"Speaking of colonization, the Colonization Committee has also received two colonization applications, one from the Trisolaran Civilization and the Human Federation. The negotiation process is still progressing, but it is estimated that it will not take long."

"At the same time, the interstellar train has been formally proposed. This concept has been widely discussed as a channel to connect the solar system and Luhmann 16 in the future to realize the economic circle of the two galaxies."

"As for the sophon project, there has also been progress. Through the circumsolar accelerator, humans have deployed protons three times in the past few years, but the experiments have failed. We will let you visit the next deployment."

"We still have a big technological gap with the Trisolarans. By the way, we can ask the Trisolarans for relevant technologies," Saiwen said.

The Trisolarans had already created sophons more than three centuries ago, but humans have not yet been able to produce such intelligent microscopic particles.

"The Trisolarans refused to pass on Sophon's technology to us, even through intimidation. Ultimately, it's because the technology gap between our two sides is not that big now." Cheng Xin shook her head.

"That's a pity, but we can't always rely on the technological transmission of the Trisolaran civilization. We still have to maintain sound scientific research capabilities to prevent being deceived by the Trisolarans."

"We are naturally prepared for this, and now with the balance of power between the two sides, the Trisolaran civilization no longer transmits technology to us. The few technologies transmitted are the content of war reparations."

"Our scientists no longer rely on Three-Body technology. In some technologies, we have even achieved the goal of outperforming others, such as virtual sensory technology."

"Nowadays, human beings' implanted personal terminals are directly connected to the nervous system. Entering the virtual world no longer requires a bulky virtual cabin, you only need to think about it in your mind."

"By the way, we have actually been in a virtual world. In case you forget, after all, this place looks exactly like reality. Many people will always confuse reality and virtuality after entering for the first time." Cheng Xin reminded.

road.

The two of them are indeed in the virtual world now, because Cheng Xin is not on Jupiter's side at all. Only the super-light speed communication of the quantum entanglement device can allow the two to talk to each other in real time.

Note: Human civilization in a narrow sense only refers to the Star Alliance established by the protagonist, also called solar system civilization. In the ideas of Trisolaran Civilization, Star Alliance and Human Federation, the Human Federation is currently regarded as an alien civilization independent of the Star Alliance.
