Chapter 57, The Key Points of the Warp Engine

Li Fu watched Chen Bin demonstrate in detail the role and principle of the space-time current sail, in fact, this space-time current sail can also be regarded as a kind of space technology, which is the embodiment of the achievements of imperial scientists in space science and technology over the years.

I have always wanted to build a warp engine, so the Imperial Academy of Sciences has also invested a lot in the research of space, but this space is too ethereal, and it is not possible to complete it overnight if you want to study it clearly, and it is quite remarkable that the scientists of the Empire can study a little bit of skin in just a few decades.

Li Fuke knew from the seeds of super civilization that this space technology was definitely a powerful technology leading to the top cosmic civilization in the universe, but this road was full of countless bumps, and I don't know how many civilizations couldn't even enter the door.

The scientists of the empire can have a little achievement, this is all because Li Fu has the seed of civilization, and can learn some knowledge related to space science and technology from the seed of civilization, and then guide the scientists of the empire to conduct research, otherwise, let alone decades, even hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of millions of years may not be able to achieve anything in the field of space science and technology.

Of course, because the universe where the super civilization Han Science and Technology Empire is located is different from the universe where the empire is located now, this space is also different, otherwise, this progress can definitely be faster, and Li Fu can only refer to it and learn from the methods and experience of the super civilization Han Science and Technology Empire to study space.

"I don't know when our empire can also get a heart of time and space!"

Thinking of this, Li Fu couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his mind, the Dahan Science and Technology Empire actually took a shit luck in the early stage of civilization to obtain a treasure that studies space-time technology, the heart of time and space, so it was able to go all the way smoothly on the road of space-time technology.

Therefore, Li Fu is also very eager to get the heart of time and space mentioned in the seeds of civilization, and the heart of time and space can perfectly interpret the mysteries related to space-time technology under special conditions, which is equivalent to opening a plug-in for the study of space-time technology.

Although there is no such treasure as the heart of time and space, among the seeds of civilization, there are still the experiences and methods of studying time and space technology summarized by the scientists of the Dahan Science and Technology Empire, which are still of great help to Li Fu.

In the past few decades, a little achievement in space science and technology is now very useful, and if this powerful technology that can directly act on space can be further developed, it will not be far from the development of a warp engine.

"Does this plane current sail need to redesign the spaceship?"

From the beginning to the end, Li Fu felt very satisfied, being able to speed up more than ten times, which is already quite remarkable, especially for an empire with an increasingly large territory, it is of great significance.

However, there is another problem that is worth paying attention to, that is, if this space-time ocean current sail is not designed from the new, it is a question related to whether the empire's many huge spaceships and space warships should be eliminated.

If this space-time current sail can be used simply by adding it to spaceships and space battleships, then it will be very convenient, and if it is to be rearranged and designed, it means that the many spaceships and space battleships in the Empire's hands will all be slowly eliminated, and this loss will be too great.

"No, you can just add it as an auxiliary equipment, all the spaceships and space warships in our empire can complete the operation of adding space-time current sails in a very short time."

Chen Bin smiled and shook his head, it is not easy to build a spaceship and a spaceship, and the general situation is to upgrade the spaceship and spaceship as much as possible, rather than eliminate them between them, and improve the service life of the spacecraft as much as possible.

"That's good."

"Everyone did a good job, Lao Chen, you bring a list here."

Li Fu nodded with satisfaction, and asked Chen Bin to bring up the list, there is no doubt that this is to reward the scientists who participate in the research, the empire has always been very generous in this regard, rich cash rewards, permanent private land on the life planets of the empire's remote galaxies, promotions and salary increases, granting noble titles, etc., are definitely to let the scientists of the empire get both substantial benefits and honorary rewards, fame and fortune.

"Brother Fu, this time and space current sail is boiling after all, even if it can increase the speed by more than ten times, it is actually not an epoch-making technology after all."

Chen Bin nodded, and then said thoughtfully.

"Go on."

"The starry sky of the universe is too vast, even if we increase the speed of the ocean currents through time and space by more than ten times now, even if it is increased by hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times when we descend, it is insignificant compared to the vast void of the entire universe, and even in the Milky Way, it will still seem very slow."

"In particular, this space-time current can only be connected between relatively close galaxies, so we can only keep turning around in one galaxy after another, which is too slow."

"And in the future, the external expansion of our empire will definitely clash with other civilizations, as long as these civilizations are blocked at the entrance and exit of the space-time current, if they want to break through, the losses will definitely be very heavy, our empire has a small population and a weak foundation, and it can't withstand such losses at all."

"It's acceptable to lay down a dozen galaxies, but if there are hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands, the loss will be too great, and it will be very detrimental to the future development and expansion of our empire."

"So I think our empire should still focus on researching the warp engine, as long as we can develop the warp engine, the universe is so big that our empire can break in."

Chen Bin pondered for a while and slowly spoke.

"What you said is very reasonable, Lao Chen, we have been developing in this area, but this warp engine is not so easy to research."

Li Fu also nodded in deep agreement.

"The warp engine has been studied in our empire over the years, and at present I think there are three main problems, the first is the energy problem, and the energy technology we have now is simply not enough to support the huge energy demand of the warp engine, and we must develop controllable nuclear fusion technology."

"The second is the material, the warp speed engine because of the need to twist and fold the space, in the forced shuttle space, the requirements for the material are very high, theoretically, at least the degenerate state of the material is needed to meet the demand, with the material technology we have now, the development of space warships to the 100 billion ton level is already quite difficult, so the field of material science and technology is also a key point in the current development of our empire's science and technology."

"The third problem is the theoretical support, space folding, space distortion, at present we still know too little, too little, and the research is always foggy, we can't figure out the essence of space, can not point to its core, so although we have invested a lot and spent a lot of energy in this area, but we have not made much breakthroughs."

Chen Bin thought about it and put forward three questions in his mind, as the president of the Imperial Academy of Science, he was very aware of the problems and problems encountered in the development of imperial science, and he also wanted to talk to Li Fu about these problems for a long time.

After listening to this, Li Fu carefully thought about these three issues in his mind, energy science and technology, materials science and technology, and theoretical science and technology research.

Energy science and technology, material science and technology, theoretical science and technology are actually the most basic science and technology, but also determine the height of a civilization science and technology, in terms of energy science and technology, from the primitive human beings began to master fire, and then slowly mastered steam energy, electric energy, and then to nuclear energy, plasma power, every reform of energy science and technology is accompanied by the rapid progress of human science and technology.

Not to mention material science and technology, in the past in China on the earth, many times because of the gap between basic material science and technology and Western countries, so there is a big gap in high-end aero engines and high-precision machine tools, and later Li Fu researched out black gold materials, and researched plasma engines in one fell swoop, and Huaxia's science and technology began to truly surpass Western countries.

As for theoretical scientific and technological research is more important, many things without theoretical research, it is impossible to follow the emergence of various kinds of science and technology, in terms of Einstein's theory of relativity, others have been dead for more than 100 years, but his theory still has a very important role in the development of science and technology, without the mass-energy formula, it is impossible for human beings to master nuclear energy, and it is impossible to know the powerful energy contained in atoms.

The development of the empire's science and technology has basically reached a peak in the research and application of the original energy technology, material technology, theoretical technology, etc., especially material technology, black gold material technology has become more and more unable to meet the needs of the empire's scientific and technological development, although this black gold material technology has been developing continuously over the years.

However, this development is not an epoch-making change in science and technology, but a continuous expansion and refinement on the basis of the original technology, and the development of imperial anti-gravity technology has been relatively slow over the years, and a very important reason is that it cannot find suitable materials to support more advanced anti-gravity power technology.

The more powerful the power, the higher the requirements for the material!

This is also why Chen Bin said that if you want to study a warp engine, you must study degenerate materials, without strong materials, you can't support a powerful engine at all, just move casually, this engine will be finished, if you want to have a strong heart, the material that makes the heart must be strong enough, and the heart muscle is definitely the most powerful of all muscles.
