Earth.

The human expedition fleet returned to the earth's space port half a month ago. All the space soldiers, scientific researchers, and engineers who participated in the battle of Monocerotis v838 got a very long vacation, so they could grow hair at home.

However, individual people have basically no time to rest, and they have devoted themselves to new jobs.

Especially in the field of scientific research, scientists always have inexhaustible passion in the face of the technology that has not been cracked by the spacecraft of advanced civilization.

This kind of enthusiasm for the universe, advanced technology, and future exploration and knowledge is sometimes difficult to understand.

For scientists, there is one sentence that truly expresses their understanding of the universe.

The more you know, the more you realize your ignorance.

After Fang Yuan returned to Earth, he went to visit Yang Yuping.

As expected, Yang Yuping really spent 24 hours a day on scientific research after getting rid of the shackles of his body.

Except for a fixed ten minutes at dinner every day.

During those ten minutes, Yang Yuping would use the coffee machine inside the machine to make a cup of coffee, put it on the table, and quietly watch the smell rising from the coffee.

In fact, he no longer has a sense of smell, and the body of the machine has not yet installed the module for the sense of smell.

He has only two senses, sight and hearing.

So, I can't drink coffee anymore.

But he will still make a cup of coffee at dinner time, watch it for ten minutes, and then continue to work.

When Fang Yuan went to see him for the first time, he picked up the coffee and said, "I will help you drink from now on."

After speaking, I was ready to drink my coffee.

But Yang Yuping said: "That cup is mine, I'll make you another cup."

Then, really cook another cup.

Fang Yuan felt that the old professor still liked to be a flesh and blood person, but flesh and blood hindered his pursuit of science and truth.

So, he gave up his body.

Fang Yuan looked at the old professor's worksheet, and found that he was in charge of more than a dozen scientific research projects at the same time.

"Why not specialize in one project? Wouldn't that be faster?"

"It won't be long. I can't complete a scientific research project alone. To design an experimental idea, I need a team to help with the experiment. If the experiment is successful, it must be militarized. I specialize in one project, and even if I have all the experimental plans for the next twenty years Even if it is arranged, it will still take twenty years to digest it, which is of no use." Yang Yuping explained slightly.

Fang Yuan understood after thinking about it.

Yang Yuping can work 24 hours a day by himself, but it is impossible for other researchers to work like this.

Moreover, the process of scientific theory from laboratory to military application takes time.

Yang Yuping is mainly responsible for the research of basic theories. To apply the basic theories to civilization technology, this process cannot be completed by one person.

Therefore, if Yang Yuping specializes in a scientific research project, the time it takes for the project to finally produce results and be applied to reality will not be shortened much.

Rather than this, the solution to maximize efficiency is to be responsible for the basic theoretical research of multiple scientific research projects at the same time.

Although I am in charge of multiple scientific research projects at the same time, the scientific theories of these projects are very similar.

Among them, there are as many as seven or eight projects in space and wormholes.

The efficiency research project of the curvature engine is also related to the curvature of space.

Therefore, each scientific research project is inextricably linked.

Ding!

The clock on the table rang.

At the end of the ten-minute coffee time, Yang Yuping raised the fingers of his right mechanical arm and said, "My coffee time is over. However, since I have completed my prescribed work today, I can chat with you for an extra half an hour."

"You chat with me, I thought I was chatting with you." Fang Yuan blinked his eyes.

"The question of who will accompany whom, from a theoretical analysis, depends on who has work to do. I still have 16 scientific research projects to be carried out. In comparison, are you doing nothing now?" Yang Yuping chatted in a very orderly manner .

"It makes sense!"

Fang Yuan had no choice but to give a thumbs up, this theoretical analysis could not find any flaws at all.

Yang Yuping put a pair of robotic hands on the table overlapping, a bit like the sitting posture of elementary school students in class.

I don't know why, but his mechanical body always has a very cute feeling, maybe it's because the shape is relatively round and looks a bit Q.

Coupled with his age, it makes people feel like an old child.

Yang Yuping didn't seem to mind chatting for a while, and was not in a hurry to work.

"Professor, tell me, what level of civilization is human beings now?" Fang Yuan started chatting.

"Laboratory technology level: 2.5, military level: 1.9, civilian level: 1.2. Comprehensive level: 1.8." Yang Yuping gave a data.

"This...how is it calculated?" Fang Yuan didn't expect such data.

In fact.

Regarding the current civilization level of human beings, it is very confusing.

In terms of technological level, the curvature engine is of a very high level, not only does it not belong to planetary civilization, but it does not even belong to star civilization.

Curvature drive is the first step for a civilization to move from a star system to a wider universe.

Therefore, the curvature-driven technology is the starting point for civilization to move towards the 3.0 galaxy civilization.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a planetary civilization to master curvature-driven technology.

Now, humans have overcome the curvature drive in the laboratory, so according to the level of laboratory technology, it is possible to rate it as 2.5.

It can't be rated at a higher level, because only one technology exceeds the level of star civilization.

However, this is only the technological level of the laboratory, and does not represent the true level of civilization.

From a military point of view.

The human space fleet, the key technology that can be used on a small scale, the first is the solar furnace, the second is the antimatter bomb, and the third is the strong nuclear force material.

Therefore, from the perspective of military level, the civilization level of human beings can only reach level 1.9.

If it is rated from the civilian side, it will be even lower.

The reason why the civilian level can reach 1.2 is because the civilian use of solar furnace power generation has raised the rating.

"The energy output of the solar furnace has increased 30 times compared to six years ago. The laboratory has produced the first superluminal curvature engine. It is difficult to define the level of civilization in terms of technology, but it is still possible to rate it as 1.8." Yang Yuping Having said that, a smile appeared on his face.

"At level 1.8, it has almost entered the stage of stellar civilization. According to the progress of civilization, should it develop to other planets?" Fang Yuan asked casually.

"According to the progress of civilization, this is indeed the case. However, I suggest finding a hidden terrestrial planet in the Milky Way to develop a second home. You can't put all your eggs in the basket of the solar system, and this place may become a battlefield in the future. "Yang Yuping replied solemnly.

The earth has been exposed to the sight of advanced civilizations, and it may become the main battlefield of the interstellar war at any time.

Mankind really needs a second home to keep the fire of civilization.
