"Oh? Yuan, are you really confident?"
"Yes, General, we have performed rigorous calculations and confirmed that it is feasible, and the speed is extremely high."
"Alright, if you really solve this problem, I will send human scientists to assist you in reaching the Small Star Sector Civilization stage. Li Zhixiong, have Academician Zeng come over here for a moment, I have something urgent to discuss."
Since being incorporated into the Star Ring Alliance by Hu Yu, the Great Cang Civilization has remained largely unknown and has kept a low profile. They don't even leave their own planet unless absolutely necessary, and their fleets only operate in the airspace near their own planets. When they occasionally go out for training and testing, they try to stay away from other civilizations to avoid disturbing others.
In Hu Yu's eyes, the Great Cang Civilization was like a student who was not good at academics but was very obedient. The Great Cang Civilization, which had followed the alliance for tens of thousands of years, was still at the Star System Level level, which showed its potential. Other civilizations had reached the Small Star Region level with the help of human scientists. The Great Cang Civilization was not in a hurry at all, nor did it ask Hu Yu for help. It was as if everything was so calm.
However, Hu Yu knew that Yuan of the Great Cang Civilization harbored an indomitable spirit, and his student Yang was also a rare and capable individual. But the fact that they made no progress puzzled Hu Yu. Logically speaking, although the Great Cang Civilization had slightly less potential, they had been immersed in the Alliance every day and had been inspired by many technologies. In addition, Hu Yu had given them a Small Star Sector Civilization warship, as well as fragments from the war that the Great Cang Civilization also possessed. Yet, they just couldn't break through the final barrier.
"General, what's the matter that's so urgent?" Academician Zeng rushed in.
"Academician, Yuan said he has a way to make neutron stars enter warp drive."
"Really?! Mr. Yuan, please tell me."
"Yes, Academician, it's actually quite simple, it's just that no one thought of it. If we treat a neutron star as a high-powered warp drive, that's all we need to do."
"Used as a warp drive?... Hmm... Oh dear, how come I didn't think of that? Haha, it's really simple. Mr. Yuan, I really have to thank you. You saved the entire galaxy."
"Academician, how can a neutron star be used as a warp drive?"
"General, our initial warp drive, and some of our current warp drives, all work by distorting space to increase spatial density, and then using the difference in spatial density to propel the warship forward. Objects tend to fall from low-density space to high-density space. We only need to put two neutron stars of different masses together, and the spatial density difference they generate will make them move forward continuously."
"Won't two neutron stars collide if placed together?" Hu Yu asked.
"Yes, other civilizations certainly couldn't do that, but your Reversed State Reversed State should be able to. You can use it to separate two neutron stars and prevent them from colliding," Yuan explained.
"Academician, is this feasible?"
"It can't be completely prevented, but it's just right. The Reversed State on a neutron star is like an ice cube placed on a red-hot iron block. If we place a Reversed State pillar, 30 kilometers in diameter and 1,000 kilometers long, between two neutron stars, one large and one small, with the larger one in front and the smaller one behind, due to the density difference in space, the space behind will continuously move forward, causing this giant barbell to enter a warp drive state. This is also the propulsion mode of our early warships."
"As the Reversed State continues to melt, the distance between the two neutron stars will get closer and closer, and the speed will naturally increase. The moment the Reversed State completely melts will be the moment of explosion. As long as we calculate the mass of the neutron stars, the attack range, the travel speed, etc., and arrange the Reversed State pillars of appropriate size, we can achieve the attack effect."
"I understand, Academician. This is a powerful weapon. Its attack effect even surpasses all our current weapons. The mechanism of a neutron star explosion is different from all other attack methods. I believe no civilization can resist this attack. The only drawback is that it cannot be obtained in real time and can only be used to attack other civilizations' bases."
"Haha, General, I understand what you mean. I witnessed the power of a neutron star explosion firsthand in the Matter River. Don't worry, I'll make the arrangements."
"Yuan, you have made a great contribution. I will arrange for human scientists to help you reach the stage of Small Star Sector Civilization."
"General, no need, we can manage on our own."
"Yuan, have you ever considered that there might be something wrong with your own genetic structure? Although you haven't received help from human scientists, you've obtained far more resources, Small Star Sector Civilization warships, and everything else than other Star System-Level Civilization. Tell me honestly, has there been any progress in your space attacks?"
"General, not yet."
"If you don't need the help of human scientists, that's fine. I'll have Academician Xiao visit your civilization later to conduct an in-depth analysis of your genetic structure."
"General Xie, we will be waiting for Academician Xiao's arrival."
" Li Zhixiong, find a way to signal the biological warriors to run behind the swarm and escape immediately if they detect an attack."
"Yes."
Yuan Heyang smiled with joy. While genetic optimization of civilized beings is not a difficult task, it only applies to the physical aspects. Few civilizations can achieve genetic optimization that involves intelligence. Every civilization desires to be more intelligent and have stronger thinking abilities.
The meaning of Academician Xiao's personal intervention is very clear to Yuan. This is far more beneficial than the direct assistance of human scientists. No other civilization in the alliance has received this treatment. If it weren't for helping humanity solve the problem of neutron star navigation, this benefit would not have fallen to their Great Cang Civilization.
Over the past tens of thousands of years, Academician Xiao has optimized the overall intelligence genes of humanity three times. The overall level of the human brain is only average among all civilizations. However, the human brain is full of uncertainties, and it is precisely these uncertainties that have led to the emergence of many top scientists. Even Academician Xiao has not yet figured out why.
Other civilizations' brains also have uncertainties, but their range of uncertainty is far smaller than that of humans. The average human IQ is 120. Among humans, there may be people with an IQ as high as 320, and there may also be people with an IQ as low as 50. The average IQ of other civilizations may be 200, but their high IQ will only reach 250, and their low IQ will be 180. The range of uncertainty is not as large as that of humans.
Therefore, Academician Xiao only optimized the human intelligence gene three times, and mainly improved human memory and comprehension, because the current human technology tree is already incredibly vast, and it is difficult to cope with such a huge system without sufficient memory and comprehension.
