The construction of the Martian surface is slowly progressing, and in order to expand his information coverage, Noah decides to launch an artificial satellite again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since it is now launched directly on the ground instead of on the space station, it is much more difficult to launch satellites, and the previous feat of killing 36 stars with one arrow has become history, and honestly building a rocket launch pad is the right way.

Given the surface area and gravitational acceleration of Mars, 36 satellites are needed to achieve full 360-degree coverage without dead angles, and Noah intends to launch six rockets, each with six satellites. 12 satellites each for synchronous, far-Earth and near-Earth satellites.

When the 36 satellites were sent to the sky in turn, everything on the surface of Mars was under Noah's eyes, the resource exploration team began to gradually expand outward, a team of resource mining teams began to move towards the proven resource points, and the construction of surface industrial facilities was also slowly underway, so that it was only a matter of time before an industrial production chain that could bring Noah a large amount of resources took shape.

But the other thing is not just a matter of time.

In addition to the rocket launch pad for launching satellites, Noah also built another rocket launch pad, and this launch pad was built on a much larger scale than the previous one, because it was not a satellite that was to be launched, but a probe.

"The construction of the Poseidon 1 rocket is complete. -- Noah's Report

The Poseidon rocket is the cornerstone of the extraterrestrial civilization expedition in the solar system, which will carry the [Trident 1 probe] to the area outside Neptune's orbit.

Although the Trident is a detector, Noah has a laser gun, a particle beam weapon, and 10 rounds of one million yield nuclear warheads on it, which can give Noah a sense of security in the face of unknown dangers.

In the past few days of reconstruction work, Noah harvested 5 more pieces of shape memory alloys, but the slight difference is that not all alloys are covered with the outer shell of the atomic nucleus, and some of the more regular clumps are only partially covered with the outer shell, which makes Noah feel a little calmer, it seems that even if the existence of this material is produced, there is no way to make the nuclear outer shell cover the entire comet.

But even so, if these materials really come from comets, and comets are really the products of some extraterrestrial civilization, then the technological level of this civilization will undoubtedly exceed that of the earth civilization in the 23rd century, let alone the current Noah.

But assuming that this unknown civilization exists, what makes Noah curious is that since the other party used a strategic-level weapon like an artificial comet, which can be said to be an artificial comet, it is almost certain that the other party is malicious to him, and since the degree of civilization is far greater than his own and malicious to himself, then why not hurry up and destroy himself?

Thinking about it this way, the possibility that an extraterrestrial civilization is hostile to itself has been reduced a lot, so that the girl has been restless all this time, but there is no way, is it because she is afraid of an extraterrestrial civilization that does not know whether it exists, and even the development of civilization will not be done? The pace of development of the new civilization is still the same, and the only extra ones may be Poseidon and the Trident.

When all preparations were completed, the Poseidon rocket entered the pre-launch state.

"The docking of [Trident] is complete, and [Poseidon] is warming up. -- Noah's Report

The Poseidon rocket is about 30 meters high, and in addition to the Trident, it is loaded with a large amount of nuclear fusion fuel, and it will rely on a nuclear fusion engine for interstellar voyages.

"The warm-up is complete, and the countdown to ignition begins. -- Noah's Report

"Ten, nine, eight...... Three, two, one, ignition! -- Noah's Report

Poseidon's tail erupted with dazzling fire, the cooled dry ice pools of the launch pad evaporated at a terrible speed, and with a loud roar, the rocket began to rise into the air.

The thrust of the engine provided Poseidon with tremendous acceleration, and at all it did not revolve around Mars, and Poseidon flew straight towards the comet's original trajectory with the trident.

This is undoubtedly another long process, but Noah is not in a hurry, quietly developing the construction work on the surface of Mars.

Since there is no resistance to air flow in the atmosphere in the cosmic environment, as long as the thrust is provided to the aircraft, they can continue to accelerate, and when the thrust disappears, as long as there is no external force, they will continue to move forward at their original speed.

Three years later, when Poseidon passed Jupiter, Jupiter's gravitational pull increased Poseidon's speed by Mach 3 again, and now Poseidon has a speed of Mach 70.

One year later, when Poseidon reached Saturn's orbit, the industrial production chain on the surface of Mars was roughly formed, and a new round of construction work began. Now Poseidon's speed is Mach 88.

Half a year later, when Poseidon crossed the orbit of Uranus, Noah put scientific research back on the agenda and began the construction of the first armed forces. Now Poseidon is at Mach 100.

A month later, Poseidon reached Neptune's orbit, and the trident began to break away from Poseidon. Now the speed of the Trident is Mach 110.

Maintaining a speed of Mach 110, the Trident continued to follow the trajectory of the comet's arrival, the over-range detection radar was operating at maximum power, and Noah allocated 1% of his computing power to monitor the operation of the Trident.

Another period of time has passed, and the [Trident] has exceeded Neptune's orbit by nearly 3 million kilometers at this moment, but it still has not detected anything valuable, and Noah's first batch of armed forces has also taken shape.

It is said that it is an armed force, that is, 10,000 space fighters and 500 small space warships, after all, Noah's current production level is limited, and there is no way to manufacture space warships in the real sense, with the current armament, not to mention the unknown extraterrestrial civilization, the earth civilization of the old era can fight 100 Noah.

This also made Noah feel very helpless, the only way, that is, to further develop his own productive forces, but this kind of thing is also in a hurry, to produce such an armament in a few years, even for the old earth is a very remarkable speed. Productivity and time are the things that Noah lacks the most at the moment.

[Trident] has now exceeded Neptune's orbit by 7 million kilometers, and has reached the edge of Noah's radio wave communication that can be maintained, Noah knows that his current limit communication range is 20 million kilometers beyond Neptune's orbit, if there is no discovery there, then this operation will be completely wasted.

However, this may also be a good thing, as the possibility of an unknown extraterrestrial civilization is reduced a bit.

At the same time, it also reminded Noah that he needed to develop a new generation of communication systems, and as scientific research slowly got on track, countless technical problems that needed to be solved were also put on the agenda.

"The supply of computing power for the host computer is insufficient, and the development of a new generation of quantum computers is necessary. -- Noah's report. ”

"The armament force is insufficient, and the development of spacecraft for war is necessary. -- Noah's report. ”

"Material technology is backward, and the analysis of unknown alloys is necessary. -- Noah's report. ”

After much consideration, Noah still put the development of a new generation of quantum computers in the first place, as long as he has more computing power, he can support more engineering and scientific research work, the progress of the rest of the work will be greatly promoted, and the productivity of civilization will be greatly improved.

There are not many solutions to realize quantum computing, but the problem is that it is indeed too difficult to realize the manipulation of microscopic quantum states experimentally. The proposed schemes mainly use the interaction between atoms and optical cavities, cold trap bound ions, electron or nuclear spin resonance, quantum dot manipulation, superconducting quantum interference, etc., while the old civilization and Noah mainly focused on electron or nuclear spin resonance.

It has to be said that even in the old era of earth civilization, the application and development of quantum computers were just beginning, but their overwhelming superiority at the physical level made it quickly replace circuit computers and become the mainstream of civilization.

By changing the position of the electrons and the rotation of the nucleus to change the resonance frequency, one resonance state between adjacent nuclei can be recorded as a negative 0 and another as a positive 1, and ordinary circuit computers run on a binary system of 0s and 1s, called "bits". But quantum computers are far more powerful. They can be operated on qubits, and in addition to 0,1, they can also calculate numerical values between 0 and 1.

But Noah still needs to add another number at this moment - [-1], using a mathematically non-existent number - [imaginary number i] to represent the intermediate state of affirmation and negation - unknown, in addition to the definite number in the logical calculation, add the unknown number x, so that the computer's algorithm will undoubtedly be greatly optimized, so that the computer's operating rate will increase significantly.

Noah estimates that if a new generation of ternary quantum computers is completed, his computing power will be amplified by more than 10,000 times, he will be able to control more fleets, robots, and the model calculation of scientific research work will be greatly accelerated, so that no matter what engineering construction and scientific research are, they will advance at a speed that is unimaginable now.

But just as the development of a new generation of quantum computers was steadily underway, the Trident, which had been quiet for 10 years, finally gave back the first message 17 million kilometers beyond Neptune's orbit.

"[Trident] detected an irregular celestial body with a mass of more than 10 million tons and a surface area of more than 10,000 square kilometers. -- Noah's Report

"The structure of the mantle core has not been detected and is suspected to be a hollow object. -- Noah's Report
