Chapter 345: The Fleet is Beginning
"Professor Weitmann, I'm Du Qiu. Please immediately search for anomalous spots in the direction from which the Oumuamua meteorite came from, especially within 20 AU of the solar system. ”
Du Qiu contacted Wittman again as soon as possible, and this direction had to be searched again.
If the invading fleet is really divided into two ways, then there should already be fleets in this direction near 20 astronomical units in the solar system.
Based on the knowledge that Du Qiu learned about faster-than-light flight from the extraterrestrial civilizations in his dreams, all civilizations that performed faster-than-light travel below 50 times the speed of light were classified as the initial faster-than-light flight masters.
The fleets of such civilizations, when flying faster than light, do not dare to approach within 20 astronomical units of the star system recently, otherwise a major accident will inevitably occur.
This is because the faster-than-light technology at this time is not enough to control the force field from the gravitational field of the star system, which causes the curvature space bubble to rupture or distort, in which case the warship or fleet in it will inevitably be destroyed.
Du Qiu's speculation that the highest technological level of the invasion fleet should be at this stage, which is the beginning of the fourth-level civilization.
If the opponent is mid-level 4 or above, they will definitely not carefully send a meteorite battleship to investigate, and at the same time, the meteorite battleship will not be blown up by the Pterodactyl fighter.
It was based on this that when Du Qiu judged that he could complete the construction and marshalling of 100 new capital ships in three months, he resolutely decided to take the risk of fighting to the death.
Of course, in addition to this, it is also because he was able to deploy a fortress defense system consisting of new weapons in the asteroid belt and Mars within three months.
In general, the level of science and technology of Magic Technology is still at the level of just entering the third level, and there are still many aspects of theory that are constantly improving.
However, because the alien civilization that Du Qiu came into contact with in the dream realm was at level six, and he had a complete knowledge of the basic manufacturing system of the level four civilization.
In particular, he can call on the artificial intelligence ships of the sixth-level civilization to help simulate the operation.
Therefore, the manufacturing capacity of Magic Technology is actually a bit deformed.
This time, Du Qiu used the three technologies deduced by the ship's simulation, and the finished products were all above level 4, or even at level 5 technology.
For example, the nuclear fusion engine, whether it is energy utilization, reactor operation cycle, etc., can only be completed by ordinary fourth-level civilizations.
Another example is the combat power of the capital ship, which can definitely be PK with ordinary warships in the middle of the fourth-level civilization.
The only thing that Du Qiu is not sure about now is that he does not know how many warships the enemy fleet has, and if the other side has more than a thousand, it will be difficult for Du Qiu to withstand the opponent's attack.
After all, with one enemy against ten, in the early civilization stage of the fourth level, it is an extremely difficult thing.
Because Du Qiu's capital ship has enough attack power, but its defense power is poor, the strength of the energy shield is a major weakness.
This is due to the fact that the strong magnetic field generators currently manufactured by Magic Technology have never reached the level of the ship's simulation calculations, and there may be some material that is not up to standard.
Speaking of which, there is still a lack of foundation in magical technology, and the time for development is too short.
After receiving Du Qiu's order, Professor Weitmann had already carried out the corresponding search and detection, and this kind of search and detection in a certain direction did not take a long time.
Wittman was quick to respond, "Boss, after probing, we didn't find any suspicious spots in the direction where the Oumuamua meteorite originally flew from. ”
After listening to Weitman's report, Du Qiu was a little confused for a while, could it be that he had misjudged that the enemy's faster-than-light flight was even below 10 times the speed of light, so their fleet had not yet departed from the faster-than-light flight state?
It's a pity that I can't build the kind of detection instrument that the ship is equipped with, which can easily detect the trajectory of faster-than-light flight.
"Professor, you are focusing on monitoring the area around the 20 astronomical units outside the Kuiper Belt in the solar system, in the direction of the previous white spot, as well as the direction of the initial flight of the Oumuamua meteorite, as well as the surrounding areas in these two directions."
"Boss, why are only 20 astronomical units outside the Kuiper Belt being monitored? Does this make any sense? ”
Wittmann once again heard Du Qiu emphasize this, and immediately became curious.
"Oh, because if the enemy is flying faster-than-light, and they are still at the initial faster-than-light flight level, they can't directly break into the star system at faster-than-light speed."
Du Qiu's explanation made Professor Weitman's eyes shine, "Boss, really...... Is it possible to fly faster than light? ”
Du Qiu immediately briefly explained the principle of faster-than-light flight, so that Professor Weitmann quickly understood that he had broken his mind, and he thought that the physical law that the speed of light is the highest speed of the universe had been broken.
However, Du Qiu's explanation sparked his great interest.
"Boss, can I apply for research this way?"
How exciting it would be if faster-than-light flight was studied in your own hands, and it would be a famous thing in history.
The point is that once there is faster-than-light travel technology, humanity will truly be able to step out of the solar system.
"Yes, I support you in this research, in fact I have not had time to arrange this research yet, if you are interested, count you in. You can get some of this information by connecting to the nebula of the Celestial Realm. ”
Although Professor Wittmann is from the Institute of Astronomy, he is a leading scholar in astrophysics, and he brought his research team to the Kuiper Belt to study dark energy and dark matter.
It was just a mistake that made him discover the white spot.
Hearing that Du Qiu agreed, Professor Weitman was immediately happy, especially to be able to obtain some relevant information from the artificial intelligence nebula.
All researchers know that having access to some information from Nebula is the key to making breakthroughs in their research topics.
After Du Qiu arranged Wittman, he immediately contacted Song Yuanting.
"Old Song, immediately arrange for the Pterodactyl fighter to conduct non-stop patrols along the 20 astronomical unit areas outside the Kuiper Belt of the solar system!"
"Boss, what's going on? Alien fleets appeared? ”
Song Yuanting, who was leading the fleet in training, asked with some excitement.
At this time, under his command, 110 capital ships and 60 frigates have been gathered, plus 500,000 Pterodactyl fighters.
In the asteroid belt, the entire fleet is in actual combat exercises, and after Song Yuanting's continuous training, the space fleet of magical technology finally has initial combat effectiveness in his hands.
This makes him have an incomparable fight**, which can be described as a joy when he hears the battle.
Du Qiu said: "No, the alien fleet has not appeared, I suspect that they should still be in a state of faster-than-light flight, so it seems that their technological level is definitely in the initial stage of faster-than-light flight."
The space fleet at this stage will not be able to enter the star system directly, and should be out of the faster-than-light state within 20 AU of the Kuiper Belt. ”
"Understood, I'll mobilize the Pterodactyl fighters over."
When Du Qiu discussed the tactics of the space fleet with Song Yuanting before, he had already informed Song Yuanting of some basic points of faster-than-light flight, which all space battleship commanders had to learn.
It's just that Du Qiu was busy with the implementation of the three science and technology and other research and development tasks, so he didn't pay too much attention to this aspect, so he didn't emphasize the limit of 20 astronomical units.
Now the construction of capital ships is very smooth, 10 more than originally planned, and four sets of superweapons have been initially deployed in the asteroid belt and Mars.
However, the alien fleet disappeared without a trace, and Du Qiu, who was determined in his heart, naturally remembered this restriction, and at the same time pondered where the enemy would appear.
Now that the fleet is in its infancy, more robots are being built for mining and production under the arrangement of Stardust.
Magical technology is now like a full-powered war beast, with Pterodactyl fighters being built every day, and a batch of warships being put into active service every month.
More trained crews are waiting in line for the new ships to leave the factory.
At this time, Du Qiu had a strong battle**.
