Chapter 725: Curvature Engine

The first type of soul computer only solves part of the soul storage problem, and is not the best solution to solve the problem.

Only the second soul computer is the best solution to the problem.

However, because the source is solving the problem of dark matter encoding and rune particle programming, it will take at least two and a half years to develop a computation that can directly store souls.

……

11 billion kilometers away from the star.

The Moonlight Star Cruise Ship is sailing in outer space.

This cruise ship has now been basically converted into a starry sky observation ship, equipped with various optical, infrared, radio and other equipment to observe every move of the surrounding starry sky.

In more than two years of space exploration, the cruise ship has visited 74 stars, Wen Jichu and more than 400 experts, received a total of 811764 interstellar broadcasts, observed 29,840 extraterrestrial civilizations, and detected more than 13,000 astronomical phenomena such as supernova explosions and neutron star explosions.

Even, for the alien fleet that was heading towards this galaxy, it was observed for more than a month and came to a very shocking conclusion.

Through the rune communication, Wen Jichu said to the person in charge of celestial exploration on Blue Mercury: "That alien fleet seems to be accelerating, I don't know what technology to use, it is heading towards us at 0.2 times the speed of light, and the distance between us and them may be less than 6 light years." ”

"0.2 times the speed of light, what power technology did those spaceships use, and they ran so fast?"

Yan Boliang on Blue Mercury's side was very surprised.

It is very difficult to accelerate an object purely by energy, especially the faster the speed, the more energy is consumed, and finally it increases geometrically.

For example, if you want to accelerate a bowling ball to 99.9% of the speed of light, you need to consume the energy of the entire earth to do so.

0.2 times the speed of light is not high, but it is for a large ship. Even if you use the antimatter engine to accelerate, it will consume a considerable amount of material energy.

What's more, after arriving at this star system, if the aliens make an attempt to occupy it, they will definitely have to slow down and stay in this star system.

Acceleration and deceleration consume the same amount of energy, and the aliens have to consume twice as much energy.

"In this way, it may take about 40 years for those aliens to come here."

"20 years ahead of schedule......"

Yan Boliang hurriedly reported the news to Tianming.

Tianming was slightly surprised. "In less than 40 years, aliens will be here?"

Wen Jichu nodded and sent dozens of photos, "If I didn't guess wrong, it should be like this." ”

In the photo, thousands of dense black dots emit the light of the starship for lighting, and the engine in the tail of the starship is also in working condition, seemingly spewing a high-speed stream of particles.

Even. Because of the high speed, the space there seems to have been distorted, and even the faint light emitted has a distorted scene.

Yan Boliang said: "That group of aliens." Maybe they have a special kind of space propulsion technology, otherwise they wouldn't have so much fuel to support them running so fast......"

"I guess there are only three possibilities."

"The first is that aliens have mastered antimatter engine technology...... But at present, scientists have not yet come to a conclusion that this universe has antimatter...... So this is very unlikely. ”

"The second is that aliens have mastered curvature engine technology...... We observe. During the flight of the alien fleet's star-battleship, there were slight fluctuations in the surrounding space, which may have been caused by the curvature engine being activated...... But space is not so easily distorted. It requires powerful energy, and the tail of the starship of this alien fleet has a very obvious phenomenon of high-temperature plasma flow eruption, which should not be a phenomenon produced after the space curvature engine is started. ”

"Then there is only one last possibility, the aliens have also mastered the so-called 'rune technology', urging the acceleration runes to speed up...... This possibility is considerable. ”

In this universe, rune particles are widely distributed and are the basic components of this universe.

In the same way, rune particles can be mastered by the people of Blue Mercury, so why can't they be mastered by creatures on other planets?

According to Professor Yan's words, "Unlike the dark matter and dark energy of the earth, rune particles and spiritual energy may be an important part of this universe. The only difference is that dark matter and dark energy cannot be controlled by humans, and rune particles and spiritual energy are everywhere in this universe. ”

"This provides various possibilities for the existence of this cosmic civilization, as long as the spirit is preserved, it is possible to exist life."

For example, Professor Wen discovered a planet earlier...... There is nothing on the surface of it, it is barren, but what is shocking is that the planet is emitting a very regular electromagnetic signal to the outside world.

For another example, Professor Wen also discovered that there is a huge cloud-like galaxy in this universe, and found that some clouds are fighting...... In a form that defies gravity.

In short, this universe is really weird.

As for the appearance of some aliens with black technology civilization, it is not a strange thing.

"So what are we going to do? For that gang of aliens. ”

Tianming asked.

It's less than forty years away.

"Forty years is a short time, but it's enough to develop technology to deal with those aliens."

Yan Boliang said: "We can take about twenty years to make several major scientific and technological breakthroughs, and in another twenty years or so, we can build an interstellar fleet with 100,000 D-level and above starships, and we are completely sure to destroy that group of aliens." ”

"How many technologies?"

"Curvature engine, high-power nuclear fusion generator, advanced artificial intelligence, high-power particle cannon, super-high-yield hydrogen bomb, and some rune technology and so ......on"

For an interstellar battleship, the measure of its combat effectiveness index is nothing more than attack, defense, speed and other indicators, and then develop some high-powered weapons, even if the aliens are very terrifying, but as long as they are still at the low-level material level, there is a possibility of being eliminated.

The most difficult of these technologies is the curvature engine.

Yan Boliang said: "The principle of the curvature engine is actually very simple, in a high-energy state, space can indeed be distorted, for example, a laser, as long as its single-point energy density exceeds 10 19 watts, it can cause space oscillation, and then you will find that the propagation speed of the laser has become faster, and it seems to have broken through the speed of light...... It is as if the space has been penetrated by a laser, and this principle is the same as activating the space gate. ”

"This effect can also be achieved using magnetic energy, such as magnetars (a type of neutron star), where the space around it is in a state of oscillation, and the space is torsional by a strong magnetic field."

"The same is true of gravity, such as black holes, whose strong gravitational pull can also cause space oscillations, produce the so-called curvature of space, and even cause three-dimensional space to collapse inward...... Finally, the so-called four-dimensional space is generated, which is very possible. ”

Tianming was curious, "You mean to say that in the center of the black hole, there is a four-dimensional space?" ”

"It's possible, because the characteristics of black holes are to swallow a qiē, but the black hole swallows so much matter, but it doesn't see how much its volume has grown, how can it store so much matter?"

"No matter what the item is, the amount of material that can be stored is limited. A place that can hold infinite matter can only be infinite space...... It is not impossible for a black hole to have a four-dimensional space in the center. ”

"As for making a curvature engine, with the current level of technology, it is simply impossible to do it."

"Because there is no engine that can produce that much energy that can change space, whether it's light, magnetism, or gravity...... Unless you can put a magnetar that can warp space on a spaceship, and then control it...... But this is unrealistic. ”

"However, there is another way that allows us to build a curvature engine in a fraction of the time."

"What's the solution?"

Tianming asked curiously.

"Rune Tech."

"Runetech can easily make a curvature engine."

"The principle is actually very simple, as long as you can provide a few pairs of space channel runes, install them on the curvature engine, and then control them to affect the surrounding space and produce the effect of space movement, you can easily make the spacecraft enter a state of superluminal flight."

"Coupled with the spatial gate you created, no matter how vast this universe is, you can reach it quickly."

When the space passage rune is activated, it will penetrate the three-dimensional space, creating a passage that shortens the distance, if the spaceship is placed in this passage and keeps moving forward to penetrate the space, each time it penetrates, won't it cross more than 90% of the distance that needs to be passed?

In addition, in the three-dimensional universe, it has been confirmed that there is a space bubble that is constantly flowing...... If the spacecraft is kept in a high-speed flowing space bubble, or if the spacecraft is constantly given forward momentum to this space bubble, it may be possible to fly faster than light.

Tianming nodded, since the establishment of the four major space fleets of the empire, although the number of interstellar warships has increased to nearly 400, the power system is still relatively backward plasma engine, the maximum flight speed can not exceed 1,000 kilometers per second, and it will take half a year to go out to patrol half a circle casually.

And according to the maneuverability of the alien spaceship, the starships of the Imperial fleet are obviously not comparable, and in the event of a war, the consequences are unimaginable.

If you put curvature engines on these starships, the effect will be much better.

Tianming said: "Then include the curvature engine in the immediate research and development project, the empire will do its best to support this project!" ”

"High-power nuclear fusion generators, advanced artificial intelligence, high-power particle cannons, and ultra-high-yield hydrogen bombs must all enter the research stage!"

"We need to gain the strength to completely destroy the aliens before they arrive!"
