Chapter 260: Unlocking New Technology
Jin Qiaoying, designated by Zhang Jing and recognized by Ye Rongshan and a group of former chiefs as the chief of the Ministry of Trade.
In this era, she ranks third among the committee members, below only Chairman Fan Ren and Vice Chairman Liu Shengzhan.
Unknowingly, she has fully developed the strong aura of the third-ranked committee member.
After she brought the discussion back to the main topic, all the budding opposing opinions in the meeting room seemed to be completely uprooted in an instant.
Fan Ren glanced at everyone. As the chairman of the Human Civilization Committee, he personally holds decision-making authority on certain non-major matters.
But evidently, through this meeting, those present discovered that this chairman, who still appears young, has not arbitrarily used his supreme authority.
Through the analysis and argumentation by several young committee members and alternate committee members, the matter has gradually been recognized and accepted by those present.
In everyone’s view, this is absolutely a milder and more effective decision-making approach.
After all, as main committee members and high officials of the Human Civilization Committee, they each have their own understanding of development, as well as the interest demands of their respective departments.
And now, the fact that the chairman has gone this far means they have already quietly accepted it in their hearts.
Fan Ren scanned the crowd, then fell silent, knowing that the loan procurement and construction of the star gate should now face no resistance.
He clasped his hands together and subconsciously tapped rhythmically on the tabletop, while his mind pondered the proposals Xu Hongwei had mentioned earlier.
“Ahem, Chairman? What do you think of Minister Jin’s proposal?”
Liu Shengzhan beside him coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the meeting room caused by waiting for his statement.
Fan Ren came back to his senses, smiling and shaking his head apologetically:
“Sorry, I was considering Minister Xu’s proposals. We’ll discuss that later.”
He showed little embarrassment, apologized simply, then raised his voice and continued: “In that case, now let’s vote on the proposal .”
As his words fell, everyone instinctively glanced left and right, then focused their gazes back on the chairman at the head seat.
“Those in favor, please raise your hands!”
With a ‘whoosh’, dozens of arms immediately shot up neatly in the meeting room.
Following the end of the previous joint meeting of many department high officials, the star gate procurement and construction matters, led by the Ministry of Economy and Trade with the Foreign Affairs Department as support, promptly began.
In the following days, a loan procurement team composed of several Peregrine Falcon ships, under the delivery of the Conqueror, transited through the Ross 154 star system again and headed to Sirius Prime Star to handle related matters.
Conqueror, captain’s rest room.
Fan Ren lay quietly alone on the wide bed, eyes slightly closed, chest rising and falling slowly, as if he had fallen asleep.

Elementary Gravitons Physics unlocked, Strong Molecule Engineering unlocked, Electromagnetic Physics unlocked, High Energy Physics unlocked, Nanotechnology Engineering unlocked, Quantum Physics unlocked.
Warp Engine unlocked!
As the two disciplines with the slowest experience points growth previously, Basic Science and Space Science.
After their experience points broke through the 700 mark, the system’s reward to Fan Ren this time was extremely generous.
In terms of Basic Science, whether it was the elementary-level Gravitons Physics or other areas where humanity has had some exposure, such as strong molecules, electromagnetism, high energy physics, nanotechnology engineering, and quantum mechanics—these foundational knowledge unlocks.
All of these will greatly alleviate the severe shortage in humanity’s knowledge reserves in Basic Science, caused by overly rapid development.
And as the foundational knowledge of Gravitons Physics was transmitted into Fan Ren’s brain, he became the first human to open the mysterious door to the discipline of Gravity.
As a fundamental particle whose existence has always been hypothesized by humanity, this hypothesis has been controversial since its inception.
This situation persisted until the Conqueror was discovered, and the Primal used the tractor beam, which finally proved its existence.
However, even with a reference object and actual proof, in fact, nearly a hundred years have passed since then.
Humanity’s scientists still have not discovered this ubiquitous fundamental particle in natural space using effective means.
Moreover, according to the Galactic Alliance’s civilization level rating definition: civilizations possessing space and gravity technology can be rated for fourth level civilization.
In this context, one can imagine how difficult the research in Gravitons Physics is.
But now, this technology was ‘effortlessly’ delivered by the system into Fan Ren’s brain.
It is a mediating particle responsible for transmitting gravity, just like photons transmit electromagnetic force; without it, gravity would not exist.
The reason this particle is hard to discover became clear to Fan Ren after reviewing the knowledge transmitted by the system.
Precisely because its mass is zero, and as a mediator for transmitting gravity, the interaction force between these particles is essentially zero, and they are ubiquitous, making discovery extremely difficult.
And now, with the system’s explanation, although Fan Ren cannot yet research related products corresponding to its discipline.
He can completely use this as a foundation to bypass the long process of searching for gravitons in the future, directly guiding humanity’s scientists in related fields onto this broad, starlit avenue.
The subsequent Strong Molecule Engineering provides a systematic theoretical explanation for the material processing process provided by the fox.
This is also a major knowledge reserve that can help humanity conduct research on the next material processing process.
Electromagnetic Physics is different.
After reviewing the relevant knowledge reserves, he, who had been tense not long ago because electromagnetic weapons on the Starfield Market were at least 30% superior in performance to human products, finally smiled.
This is completely the system’s seed of civilization delivering charcoal in snowy weather.
Through a systematic, accessible explanation and theoretical introduction to Electromagnetism, Fan Ren can now conduct more in-depth performance research and improvement on the electromagnetic rail weapons currently used by humanity in the short term.
Next, High Energy Physics.
Similarly, as a nuclear fusion technology that is not very popular on the Starfield Market but is inevitably present in every Galactic Alliance civilization.
The emergence of this High Energy Physics will enable faster breakthroughs in research on nuclear fusion technology.
For example, in nuclear fusion efficiency conversion.
In the thrust-to-weight ratio conversion efficiency of nuclear fusion engines.
Take a simple example.
Compared to afterburners, humanity’s current hybrid power engine groups have certain advantages in power supply.
But due to the presence of nuclear fusion engines, the engine groups occupy much more space.
And now with this breakthrough, in future construction of nuclear fusion engines, their thrust-to-weight ratio can be made even higher than now.
Thereby allowing more space to be saved on spaceships equipped with such engine groups for other uses.
