Chapter 235: The Path of Leaping
With this in mind, Cao Chuan first asked the researchers about the specific situation of the dark energy pond.
"Mr. Report Advisor, the dark energy pond here has a radius of 200 astronomical units, and its position has not shifted significantly in the last 100 days, so we conclude that it is in a long-term, stable dark energy activity zone."
"In addition, according to our observations, about every three days, there will be a dark energy tide in the pond that lasts for 6 hours, during which there will be about 1.3 times the spatial folding."
After listening to this, Cao Chuan had a full understanding of the information he had at hand, and it seemed that the place that the researchers had found was good, close to them, with high tide frequency and low intensity, which was very suitable for research.
He then extended his consciousness to various places through personal assistance modules, and through the local joint production workshop, the workers stationed there, issued an order to produce 20 domestic spaceships, which were to be consumed at that time, and would not immediately be launched on the moon-level, Hengyue-class, and even Changyang-class and Yuanyang-class.
He sent flowers and plants, mice, dogs, monkeys to the distant, slightly more prosperous Pluto Frontier Land, he was not a mad scientist, and if he wanted to explore the leap technology, it must be these common experimental creatures that would be the first to be in the spaceship.
With the preparation completed, he started with the most basic data collection to speed up the subsequent rule simulations.
Following Thomas's experiments, he sent a home-based spaceship deep into the universe where dark energy surges, and found nothing out of the ordinary.
Apparently it wasn't Thomas's experiment that went wrong, and after his inspection, it turned out that only when the spacecraft carried dark energy observation equipment could the spacecraft be affected by the tides and thus be swept up in the space folding.
This means that there is something in the process of observation that causes the effects of dark energy tides on the real world. But he put that aside for a moment and went straight to more experiments to understand how damaging the tides were to the real world.
Initially a guinea pig, the experiment went well, and it wasn't long before he replaced the dog. The monkey even changed the spaceship to a 100-meter-long Moon-class spaceship, and it turned out that the Moon-class spacecraft was slightly damaged, and it was still able to pass through the dark energy tide unimpeded.
What's going on? It stands to reason that in the process of passing, assuming that the length of the spacecraft is stretched to 1.5 times the original length, something big will definitely happen, and there is not much material in fact. There is a way to keep the original appearance after being stretched.
Excluding rubber, springs, etc., the spacecraft is composed of real materials, and most of them are mainly man-made materials, with little elasticity and ductility.
This is a more specific question, to this point. All he could do was do the same, if there was no way to simulate the rules. Finding more clues, he had to stay put.
The rule simulation began, and the transition technique was indeed a milestone technology, even the most rudimentary, with the help of dark energy tides to make the jump, it took him three months to confirm the reason.
First, the answer to the first question. He found out why the spacecraft that did not carry the dark energy observation equipment was difficult to be affected by the dark energy tides, which turned out to be the Higgs particle produced during the observation, as one of the 17 elementary particles, as a graviton, the Higgs particle is somewhat similar in nature to dark energy. It's just that the Higgs particle produces gravity, and dark energy produces anti-gravity, or repulsion, so when the two exist at the same time, they will affect each other, penetrate the barriers of dimensions, and affect the three-dimensional world.
As for the second question, why does the space collapse occur during the dark energy tidal process, but the real matter is not affected? That's because in the world of tides, the laws of physics are also changing, assuming that the spatial folding rate is 5, the constant speed of light will increase to 1.5 million km/s, and the distance of the strong interaction force between atoms is 5 to the minus 12th power meter, which also becomes 5 times the normal situation.
Many people may not be able to understand these details, even world-renowned scientists, and they will only understand the specific process if they put it in front of them.
Whoever makes these too far away for ordinary people, may have to delve into a certain subject for decades to be able to come into contact with them, with complex and obscure characteristics, deviating from common sense, beyond cognition, but it doesn't matter, it is enough to know that it is correct.
After learning these results, Cao Chuan's eyes suddenly brightened, and it seemed that his doubts were solved, and the following was how to design the jump spacecraft.
Ships with the jump function have to be equipped with two additional equipment, the first is a dark energy tide observation device, or at least a digital map stored locally, so that they can know where there are dark energy tides that they can use; The second is the Higgs particle generator, according to the previous conclusion, the stronger the concentration of Higgs particles, the stronger the spatial folding effect and the actual transition effect brought by the tides.
As a cooperation, we must find a way to ensure that the spacecraft is intact under the jump of sufficient magnification, especially the people inside, and there can be no slightest thing.
Here Cao Chuan put forward a popular concept, through the jump multiplier to indicate their additional acceleration effect, such as 2 times, the speed is 30,000 km/s, which means that their actual speed is 60,000 km/s, 5 times, the actual speed is 150,000 km/s, if there is a way to reach 10 times, it is close to the speed of light, of course, at this time, if the photon passes in the dark energy tide, its speed will reach 1.5 million km/s.
Subdivided, the first dark energy tidal observation equipment can be saved, or the research department is responsible for solving it, anyway, it doesn't matter if there is no one in a short time, as long as they have a dark energy distribution map as a replacement, unless it is an extremely remote exploration activity, it is necessary to use dark energy observation equipment.
The second thing naturally has to be solved by Cao Chuan himself, the Higgs particle generator, is definitely a difficult challenge, scientists predicted its existence in the 60s of the 20th century, but in fact it was not officially discovered until the 10s of the 21st century, and it was not so easy to get out.
The third spacecraft design problem, according to the formula, the strength of the second-generation spacecraft, including the crew in it, can maintain a space fold of about 5 times, so ensuring that their route will not pass through dangerous dark energy "storms" and dark energy "tsunamis" is a problem that does not need to be solved.
To sum up, the rest of the Higgs particle generators can make a jump spaceship, such a beautiful result is actually a castle in the air, they have not been more than 3 years from the discovery of the dark energy tide to now, during which there are still a few years of delay caused by information transmission, and the accumulation is too weak, if according to the normal historical trajectory, Cao Chuan estimates that it will take at least 150 years from the discovery to the production of the jump spacecraft.
Even with the help of rule simulation, it didn't speed up so much.
Cao Chuan made a rational decision to wait patiently for a few more years, do a few more experiments, and wait until the corresponding technical reserves are more sufficient, the professionals are more abundant, and the experiments are more prototypes of the jump spacecraft, and then put them into practice, otherwise, the creation is just a toy, and there is no benefit.
That's right, he remembered what he had said, who wants to stay in this barren land where birds don't? Talk to yourself about reason, if you have the ability, you can stay and try, he can't directly let the jump ship enter mass production, and it's always okay to add a few more fires, right?
In short, he needs to end this research marathon quickly! (To be continued.) )
