Chapter 688: A Bumper Harvest of Technology
After rectifying the three-body civilization that came to the solar system, the wandering earth can finally take stock of the harvest this time.
First of all, of course, the Zhizi Project, now it is not only the giant particle accelerator that serves as the base of the Zhizi Project, but even all the people involved are in the hands of the Wandering Earth.
The scientific archon of the Three-Body Civilization was awakened by the wandering earth, and then asked him for all the details about the Zhizi project, which was handed over to the Central Academy of Sciences for further study.
Due to the transparency of the three-body people's thinking, as long as there is a question, they will answer, know everything, and say everything, there is simply no better teacher than this.
The Central Academy of Sciences has improved the neural implants so that humans can also receive the brain waves emitted by the Trisolaran person, which makes learning more efficient with half the effort, as easy as copying files from a USB flash drive to a computer.
Soon, the Wandering Earth mastered all the relevant technologies of the Zhizi Project, from the two-dimensional expansion of protons to large-scale circuit etching, and even the cognition of the microcosm dimension of the three-body civilization, all of which became part of the Wandering Earth technology.
That's why the Wandering Earth has to spend so much effort to bring the entire Three-Body Civilization to the solar system.
Compared with the cold giant particle accelerator and experimental data, the three-body scientists who have mastered these technologies are priceless, and finding a way to learn these technologies from them can suddenly raise the scientific and technological level of the wandering earth to a higher level.
Of course, not only Zhizi, but also another weapon of the three-body civilization, the water droplet, has of course also become the bag of the wandering earth.
The strong interaction force of water droplets generates a force field, and the vortex ring of the vacuum Valssex electric field will become the upgraded parts of the new generation of warships on the Wandering Earth.
The magical sharp-angle steering ability and strong interaction force shell are no longer the preserve of water droplets.
Even including the curvature engine developed by the explosion of the three-body civilization technology, although the wandering earth has long had faster-than-light technology, the curvature drive engine still has its own uniqueness.
The space of this universe is not flat, but there is curvature.
If you think of the universe as a whole, the surface of this film is curved, and the whole film may even be a closed soap bubble.
Although the part of the membrane appears to be flat, the curvature of space is still ubiquitous.
If you can somehow iron out a part of the space behind it and reduce its curvature, then the spacecraft will be pulled through by the space with more curvature in front of it, which is curvature-driven.
Curvature drive can't reach its destination instantaneously like a space jump, but it has the potential to allow a spacecraft to travel infinitely close to the speed of light.
This is the light-speed navigation technology of the Trimaran Civilization, which greatly shortens the time for the Trimaran Fleet to reach the solar system.
However, there is a problem with this, and that is that the curvature drive leaves a clear trajectory.
The structure of space has been altered, and if the same second curvature-driven ship were placed within the path range of the first spacecraft, it would not be able to move an inch.
In the track space, it was necessary to use a more powerful curvature engine.
At this point, the space curvature drive is still able to bring the spacecraft to the maximum speed of the trajectory space, but this speed is much lower than the maximum speed achieved during the first voyage.
In other words, in track space, the speed of light in a vacuum decreases.
If the curvature of space is constantly used, the speed of light in the vacuum in the track space will be reduced to an incredible level.
Theoretically, the speed of light can be reduced to zero, but in fact, the minimum speed of light achieved by the three-body civilization is 16.7 kilometers per second.
The resulting space with a low speed of light is called a black field.
Like a black hole from which even light cannot escape, once light enters the black field, its speed will drop from 300,000 km/s to 16.7 km/s, like an inescapable quagmire, and the speed will change from lightning fast to snail-slow.
This is more interesting to the Central Academy of Sciences than faster-than-light travel, and although on the surface it seems that the black domain is a side effect driven by the curvature of space, perhaps this is the biggest effect.
"What are you going to do with it?" Qiao Lu asked Zhang Bin.
"Weapons." Zhang Bin replied, "A superweapon that can completely lock a civilization more than Zhizi, and it is almost impossible to break through. ”
Qiao Lu asked with interest, "What do you say?" ”
"First of all, the black domain will not disappear in a short time, and can only wait for the natural changes in the curvature of the universe to repair it, but this is like cutting down a forest and waiting for it to grow back on its own, it will only take more time on a cosmic scale, and it cannot be completed in hundreds of millions of years."
The earth was born only 4.5 billion years ago, and the Big Bang happened 13.8 billion years ago.
"And then?"
"So what if we built more than 1,000 curvature-driven spaceships, taking the solar system as an example, with the sun as the center, radially accelerating to the speed of light in different directions, and the tracks they produced were connected in the diffusion, forming a black field that enveloped the entire solar system, and the speed of light in this black field was 16.7 kilometers per second?"
Humanity is trapped in the Black Domain, which can be said to be in a black hole with a low speed of light.
Since the speed of light has become too slow, not to mention the development of civilization, even daily communication has become extremely difficult.
For example, the speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is equal to the speed of light in a vacuum.
If the speed of light is reduced to 16.7 kilometers per second, there will be a delay of nearly 1,000 seconds on Earth from China to the United States, and there is no way to make a normal call.
What's more, the speed of light in a vacuum is lower than the speed of the third universe, which means that even light cannot escape the black field that envelops the solar system, becoming a veritable black hole.
The human civilization trapped in a black hole makes people shudder to think about.
"You mean, we can use this method against a certain civilization?" Qiao Lu asked.
Zhang Bin replied, "If there is enough curvature to drive the spacecraft, of course it can be done." After taking over the three-body civilization's space dock, we can already mass-produce this curvature-driven spaceship, which can be built like dumplings. If you just block one planet, a hundred curvature-driven spaceships are more than enough, and you can completely turn a civilized planet into an isolated low-speed black hole. ”
This is really terrifying, and Tomoko's technological blockade seems insignificant in comparison.
At this time, Zhang Bin changed his words and said: "But before we consider using this technology on the enemy, we must first consider whether to use it on ourselves, because using the black domain to block the entire galaxy has another meaning, which can be what we need now." ”
"What is it?"
"Cosmic Security Statement."
