Chapter 438: There is never a shortage of secrets in this world
Cheng Mingli was frightened by the information that Yan Huijun broke the news, even if Cheng Mingli and they had different versions of the riots that occurred in the Purple Chime Flower Principality before this, but they never expected that the truth was actually the reason. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info If all the upper-level personnel of the Purple Chime Flower Principality disappeared because of the wormhole test, then Cheng Mingli, who bragged about these common-sense knowledge to Yan Huijun, was definitely one of the driving forces behind this incident.
The principle of wormhole technology is very simple, the whole is divided into two steps, the first step is to capture the miniature wormhole, and the second step is to expand the opening of the wormhole. But just as all the basic theories in this world are not complicated, it takes a lot of effort to put seemingly simple theories into practice.
Albert Einstein deduced the mass-energy formula, but the journey from the mass-energy formula to the explosion of the first nuclear bomb was not at all easy.
Achieving the first step is difficult. Miniature wormholes are essentially spatial cracks that run through space. Theoretically speaking, all matter in this universe can be infinitely divided downward, even in time and space.
Like time, space has its own minimum value, which has been measured by many civilizations at level 4 or even 3, about 10 to the minus 33rd power, known as the Planck scale.
Similarly, the minimum value of time is 10 to the minus 43rd power. This value is perfectly correct, at least in the parent universe that preceded it. Because once it falls below this number, the two dimensions of 3D and 4D are no longer separated, but are condensed together.
If this is the case, then our parent universe is no longer three-dimensional, but a two-dimensional plane universe. However, since we have not yet encountered a true two-dimensional plane universe, it is unknown whether this conjecture is correct.
The openings of the miniature wormholes also hover around the Planck scale, and of course they may be larger. But even then, it's not so easy to capture the miniature wormhole. Even a probe made of nanomaterials is no different from poking a two-millimeter-diameter needle hole with a stick the diameter of the earth in front of a miniature wormhole.
This probe technology is simply not something that a low-level civilization can master. In order to capture miniature wormholes under limited conditions, the fifth-level civilization uses an energy field bound by a strong magnetic field to fix all the miniature wormholes in a small space, and then charge all these wormholes.
Wait until the diameter of these wormholes reaches a certain threshold before using probes to pick them. The target wormhole is then charged to expand into a stable spatial channel. This is the main principle of the Level 5 Civilization Leap Engine.
However, because the wormhole technology of the fifth-level civilization is relatively rough, the expanded wormhole is very unstable, and the stable existence time often does not exceed two milliseconds. Therefore, the warships of the fifth-level civilization cannot make an overall jump, and the fleet always transmits the coordinates of the destination in advance when acting, and then each starts the jump engine, and jumps separately with the battleship as a unit.
The time it takes to open a wormhole is very short, and it is generally referred to as the jump window time, and the opening through which a battleship enters and exits the wormhole is also called a jump window. However, the unstable jump window results in a very short effective step (the distance of a jump) of the jump engine, often only fifteen light-years of effective step, and even a few light-years of transition error.
Moreover, this kind of primary jump engine is very energy-intensive, and it often takes several or even more than ten hours to continuously charge at the end of each jump before the next jump can be carried out. In this process, the non-conforming probe must be cooled with refrigerant to maintain the strength and conductivity of the probe. Therefore, this period of recharge is known as the cooling time of the engine.
According to Yan Huijun's description, the wormhole opening experiment carried out in the Purple Chime Flower Principality is this kind of very unstable primary wormhole, and it is also a wormhole experiment carried out without effective safety protection measures. What's even worse is that the entire Dyson world is reinforced by a space solidification device similar to the Boleves Space Hardener, and it will be even more difficult to open the wormhole.
Moreover, where the wormhole opened in such an environment is connected to it is simply an event of luck, and it is not impossible for bad luck to go directly to the core of the star. Originally, Cheng Mingli planned to help Yan Huijun, but after learning about these circumstances, he simply broke off this idea.
"Have you ever gone back to the proving ground to have a look?" Cheng Mingli asked with a headache.
"No, but the ambassadors who went back played a role in the video. The entire test site was in a mess, a piece was directly missing in the middle, all the experimental buildings were gone, and only an uneven cave gap was left on the scene," Yan Huijun replied honestly.
"It would be nice to leave a gap. If the engine room explodes, I'm afraid there will be nothing left in the entire principality's capital," Cheng Mingli pouted.
"By the way, what kind of energy do you use? In this environment, it is not very easy to open the wormhole opening, even at the SS energy level. The strength and conductivity of the materials you use are also an issue, and based on the materials we have obtained, it is very difficult for the materials in your world to operate stably at that level of energy intensity."
Ming Cang had carefully studied the energy and alloy technology of the Dyson people, and it was probably at the level of technology between the fourth and fifth level civilizations. There may be some aspects that are more advanced, such as quantum communication, but only at the level of the early fifth level. Since there is no large-scale energy spar vein in the Dyson world, it is not easy to obtain high-level energy, especially when the main energy source of the Dyson people is still at the level of controlled thermonuclear fusion.
"The test site may have used Tianjing" Yan Huijun pursed his lips, and finally said it, and it can be seen that Yan Huijun still made a lot of determination to tell this kind of information in its entirety.
"What's that?" Cheng Mingli found that he didn't know much about the Dyson world more and more, and after a while, mysterious words kept breaking out.
"Tianjing, the energy core we got from the Celestial Star people. The energy contained in this energy core is very stable and powerful, beyond imagination. In fact, every Celestial invasion war is also an opportunity for the Dyson people, otherwise, the institution that exists specifically for war will not survive for long.
Although the invasion of the Celestial Stars will cause us a lot of damage, we can also get a lot from the Celestial Stars every time. For example, precious high-grade alloys, a large amount of krypton, a variety of rare elements, powerful weapons and equipment, and the most precious Celestial Crystal.
If the previous resources are just precious materials to maintain military production, then Tianjing is a lifeblood of life and death for every principality and even the empire. The stock of these Celestial Crystals is very small, and there are only two at most for each Celestial Invasion Legion.
Therefore, during every graduation ceremony, the battle around Tianjing was the most tragic. At the end of the graduation ceremony, most of the war took place not between the Graduate Corps and the Skystar, but between the Graduate Corps. So in the later stages, every competitor is an enemy.
Tianjing's vast energy can support the energy consumption of the entire principality for hundreds of years. Not only that, but the forces that obtained the Celestial Crystal will not be attacked by the Celestial Stars until the Celestial Crystal's energy is depleted. Therefore, in the later stages of the graduation ceremony, there will be a great war between the legions attached to the major empires and principalities over the ownership of the Celestial Crystal.
Some lucky ones who can take ownership of the Celestial Crystal in the chaos will be able to go to a new place and establish a new principality. Otherwise, the new principality would exist in peace for a maximum of twenty years, and then it would be attacked by the Celestial Stars. Every time the Celestial People invade the principality that is destroyed in the war, most of them are because there is no Celestial Crystal or the reason why the Celestial Crystal energy is exhausted" Yan Huijun continued to break the news without being shocked.
"Is this kind of thing secretive? Why didn't we find it before? ”
"These are forbidden knowledge, which the aristocracy does not tell ordinary people, and is generally passed down from generation to generation among the royal heirs of the principalities and empires. Because there are more people who know, it will be infinitely more difficult for the major principalities to obtain Tianjing," Yan Huijun had an expression that you understand.
Of course, Cheng Mingli knew this kind of thing, just like the Golden Crow Fleet's blockade of the seventh-level technology tree was a reason. Although the major academies of the Golden Crow Fleet spread technology below level 6 to the entire fleet, level 7 technology will definitely not be included. Even the most generous earthlings will not let their guard down in the slightest in this regard.
"The Celestial Crystal of the Purple Chime Flower Principality is gone, is it?" Cheng Mingli thought for a while and suddenly asked.
“…… That's right, after the accident at the proving ground, the two Celestial Crystals owned by the Principality also disappeared. This is also the reason for the panic in the Purple Chime Flower Principality. In another year, a new graduation ceremony will begin, and without the protection of Tianjing, the Purple Chime Flower Principality will not be able to escape the fate of destroying the country. Now the entire United Industry is desperately producing defensive weapons in response to the attack of the Celestial Stars, and the support given to us has been interrupted as a result," Iwa-kun said calmly.
"It seems that it is necessary to go back, you are okay with me" Cheng Mingli made up his mind, then stood up and took Yan Huijun's hand and walked towards the door.
"Click! "Boom...... Crystal's figure walked in from outside, happily waving the weapon in his hand: "Huijun, this thing is not bad, if there are enough of them, we should be able to ...... Ay? Where are you going? (To be continued.) )
