Chapter 644: The Problem of Ultra-Remote Wormhole Swarms
The second is the development of the Serpentus globular star cluster, the new territory of the Ming Empire, which is different from the Ming Empire itself, due to the war with the Great Magellanic Galaxy, there are all kinds of meteorites here, most of these meteorites are actually planets that were destroyed in the war, in addition to this, it can be described as very desolate, there is no civilization in the entire Large Magellanic Galaxy, and even the primitive civilization has basically disappeared.
Therefore, if the Ming Empire wants to develop here, then it must find a way to immigrate a large number of people from the Ocean of Light and the surrounding solar system here, even if the empire began to immigrate before Zhu Lei returned to the Ocean of Light here, but this is only a small-scale migration, the globular cluster of Giant Serpenti is so large, and the total number of immigrants in the previous two hundred years is only 10 billion, which is too small for the Giant Serpenti globular cluster with a diameter of hundreds of light years.
You must know that the Serpent globular cluster has nearly a million stars in the surrounding star fields, and the number of living planets is several times that of this number, and each living planet can feed at least billions of people, so such a small number of immigrants is a drop in the bucket, so how to increase the population of the Megalia globular cluster has become the most concerned issue for the major civilizations within the empire and even the entire Galactic Civilization Federation.
Although it is said that the Ming Empire has now mastered the technology of building wormholes, and now has the ability to build large ultra-long-range wormholes, it is not a simple matter to build a large wormhole, otherwise such technology would have been flooded in the galaxy for a long time, how could only so many civilizations master this technology.
In fact, for the current Ming Empire, the most important problem of large ultra-long-range wormholes is the energy supply of wormholes, the energy of small and medium-sized wormholes before the Ming Empire can rely on its own energy technology to provide energy to these wormholes, but the energy consumption of large wormholes is not comparable to small and medium-sized wormholes at all, not to mention ultra-long-range large wormholes, even if the largest spaceships of the Ming Empire are all equipped with the latest energy crystals of the Ming Empire. It is still far from the energy standard for activating remote wormholes, let alone maintaining the existence of wormholes and even transmitting matter to distant places, so all of this is based on energy.
Although the Ming Empire has built a remote wormhole leading to the Giant Serpenti globular cluster on the mainland side of the Ming Empire, in fact, there is only one real ultra-long-range large wormhole in the middle, and this ultra-long-range large wormhole is still a one-way wormhole, and the energy requirements are far from reaching the level of two-way wormholes, even so, the energy consumed every day is astronomical, and some people have even calculated, even with the current power of the Ming Empire, such a wormhole is the power of the entire Ming Empire, It can only last less than ten.
Therefore, it is impossible to build an ultra-long-range large-scale wormhole group between the Ming Empire and the Giant Serpent globular star cluster, so it is undoubtedly a fool's dream that the Ming Empire wants to carry out super-large-scale migration.
Therefore, how to provide a reliable and stable energy source for ultra-long-range large-scale wormholes has been the most important problem in front of the Ming Empire for large-scale development, and now although the Ming Empire has given many solutions, the most likely to be realized in a period of time is to use the energy of stars to provide energy for ultra-long-range wormholes, although the Ming Empire has used all kinds of energy in the universe as much as possible in the maintenance of wormholes, including the energy of stars, However, these are all used as secondary energy from stars and other cosmic energies, and the largest source of energy for the wormhole maintenance still depends on the spaceships of the Ming Empire.
This time, scientists proposed a different idea, using the star as a stable source of energy for large ultra-remote wormholes, so that once the wormhole is built, the Ming Empire no longer needs to worry about the maintenance of the wormhole, and theoretically as long as the life span of the star has not come to an end, then the wormhole will remain pure until the end of the life of the star.
In addition to this, the energy emitted by the stars in the universe is also very large, theoretically too far away from the center of the solar system, and the energy emitted every day is enough for hundreds of large ultra-remote wormholes to consume every day, not to mention that stars like the sun are everywhere in the universe, or they belong to a relatively small kind, and stars larger than the sun abound in the universe, so it is the best choice to use the energy emitted by stars to maintain wormholes.
....
"I can't imagine that human beings have developed from the earth era to the present after thousands of years, and now the Ming Empire is already a sixth-level civilization, I used to think that the technology mastered by our Ming Empire is already very advanced, especially the energy technology of our Ming Empire, but none of us can imagine that our Ming Empire will have to worry about energy problems, so we can only stretch out our hands to these stars in the universe." In the conference room, Zhu Lei sat at the front and said self-deprecatingly.
"Your Majesty, the stars in the universe are the most important sources of energy for the major civilizations in the universe, don't say that our Ming Empire is only a sixth-level early civilization now, even if it is a more advanced civilization in the universe, the most important energy source is still provided by the stars like us, so you must not think too much."
"Okay, let's not talk about anything else, does our empire have reserves for the technology to obtain stellar energy, and can we provide enough energy for the empire's remote wormholes?"
"Your Majesty! For the acquisition of stellar energy, our empire has a lot of technical reserves, the most practical of which is the stellar collar technology, in fact, as early as when we were still in the third or fourth level of civilization, this technology already had a relatively perfect theory, but due to the level of technology at that time, although we humans already had theories and ideas, but at that time this technology could not be realized, when the empire's technology could realize these theories, the empire did not need this technology for the time being, so this technology has been shelved where, With the current technology and capabilities of the empire, it is not difficult to realize this theory, and there are even many ways to realize it, including the traditional scientific and technological civilization technology has been the method of biological civilization, as well as the method of cultivating civilization, but no matter what method is used to build a stellar collar, it will take some time due to the large amount of work. ”
"Hmmm! I know a little bit about this technology, long before the imperial civilization left the earth, we humans have already proposed this technology, but at some time these technologies are just fantasy technologies, I can't imagine that the empire will eventually use this technology. ”
