Chapter 460: Basic and Applied Sciences
In Xiao Yu's current cognition, the sixth-level civilization can be regarded as a watershed. After all, in the case of the seventh-level civilization all disappearing and the divine dragon is not visible, the sixth-level civilization represents the peak of strength at a certain stage, and becoming a sixth-level civilization means that Xiao Yu has enough strength to protect himself, even if it is a sweeper civilization, it is impossible to destroy himself in a short period of time.
Wars between the six civilizations usually last for millions or even tens of millions of years. Xiao Yu knew that it took three million years for the Sweeper Civilization to eliminate the Torol Civilization, it took only a short time to defeat the MSI Civilization, and it took nearly five million years to completely eliminate the MSI Civilization, and the war between the Sweeper and the Guardian has lasted for nearly 100 million years until now, although it has always had the upper hand, but it has not been able to completely eliminate the Guardian Civilization. These things are already very telling.
Xiao Yu had already manipulated the robot to completely disassemble a county-level spaceship of the Guardian Civilization. These parts, at the moment, are scattered among the Cambodia national spacecraft, and are being examined by more than 100,000 scientists. At all times, a large amount of data is constantly being collected. These scientists are analyzing in detail the energy supply mode, operating principle, composition principle, synergy mechanism, and generation mechanism of these instruments.
In front of these scientists, there is a new shijie. A new door was opened, and behind it, it was all about something amazing and confusing, but good at first glance.
"This curvature engine is enough to support a maximum of 120 times the speed of light, but we can't figure out how it works. This is obviously the application of space technology, but we have no way of figuring out what space technology is. ”
"This computing module is so advanced that it can provide at least 500 times more computing power than us at the same amount of energy. There is no doubt that space technology is also used in this computing module, and we have no way to analyze it. ”
"The energy supply method of the sixth-level civilization is not much different from ours. The basic principle is still a combination of an antimatter engine and an elemental decay engine, but in a much more advanced detail than we are. Their engines are more than five times more efficient than ours. It seems that the sixth-level civilization has not made a big breakthrough in the way of energy acquisition, but has made new discoveries in the way of energy use. ”
"Is this the material technology of a sixth-level civilization? The mere use of hydrogen alone can create materials that are superior to our finest steel, and is this also applied to space technology? ”
In a very short period of time, a large number of research reports were submitted to Xiao Yu. In all these numerous research reports, one word is invariably mentioned, and that is space technology.
Among the sixth-level civilization technologies that Xiao Yu is currently analyzing. No matter what aspect of science and technology, after the research is in-depth to a certain extent, there will always be some inexplicable obstacles, and Xiao Yu is at a loss for these obstacles. I don't know how to break through at all. This phenomenon is like giving a primary school student a college math textbook. to make this elementary school student fully understand this knowledge.
"Technology is faulty." Xiao Yu sighed slightly. "The scientific and technological foundation of the sixth-level civilization is built on space technology, and without understanding space technology, it is impossible to fully analyze the mysteries contained in these creations. But where is space technology so easy to figure out? How can we break through this technological fault? ”
More than 100,000 scientists are studying and thinking day and night, and Xiao Yu is also using his huge computing power to continuously calculate. These two strands add up. It is already a huge force that is enough to push the whole society forward, but in the face of this heavy barrier at this moment, it does not play a role.
Nearly a hundred years have passed in this state. Xiao Yu escaped from that weird binary star system. Two hundred years have passed, and Xiao Yu has escaped a distance of two hundred light years. The Guardian Civilization still hasn't chased after him, and Xiao Yu is still moving forward under the cover of the huge energy of this star collision.
In the past 100 years, Xiao Yu has not made any progress in basic science, but there have been some changes in applied science and technology. Basic science determines the development potential of a civilization, just as the theory of relativity supported the nuclear energy era, and applied science and technology rely on basic science to exist, which is the fruit of the big tree of basic science.
For nearly a hundred years, Xiao Yu and the scientists under his command have completely digested the technology tree of the Molian civilization, and they have wholeheartedly studied the spaceship technology of the sixth-level civilization, and they have received some rewards in the end. Although it is impossible to fully understand the mysteries of the sixth-level civilization technology, and it is impossible to get the progress of basic technology, but with the inspiration of these things, some breakthroughs have been made in the application of science and technology.
It's like a more energy-efficient energy supply system, a faster interstellar navigation system, a faster computing module, and so on. These things are completely the rewards brought by the development of applied science and technology.
At this moment, in theoretical calculations, the maximum speed of the spacecraft manufactured by Xiao Yu can reach thirty-five times the speed of light, and the newly manufactured computing module can reach more than twenty times the current calculation speed. Of course, these are just theoretical expectations, and Xiao Yu has not yet carried out large-scale construction to fully realize these things.
"When the 500-year journey is over, it's time to put the latest technology to use. Large-scale construction of newer, more advanced, and more combat-ready ships, large-scale modification of existing ships, and at the same time, the creation of continent-class spaceships......"
This is Xiao Yu's jihua. The fourth-level beast killed from the ruins of the Torol civilization provided Xiao Yu with a large amount of building materials, and after condensation, the corpse of this beast still had a mass of about two billion tons. Xiao Yu planned that his first continent-class spaceship would be made entirely of specially treated alien beast flesh and blood.
The continental-class spacecraft will use the most advanced power system, the most advanced defense system, the fastest computing module, the most efficient energy supply system, and so on. It will become Xiao Yu's new flagship.
There is no doubt that this is another period of great development, but this time the expected great development has not made Xiao Yu very excited. Because Xiao Yu knows that as long as there is no breakthrough in basic science, his future path will become more and more difficult. It is very likely that this great development is a great development of zuihou in the journey of his life.
Xiao Yu is not the only one who is worried about this problem. The scientists under Xiao Yu's command, whether they are scientists in the Department of Social Psychology or scientists in the Department of Science, are aware of this problem. During this time, countless workshops were held and countless discussions were held, but no workable solution was ever reached.
"The road to a fifth-level civilization to a sixth-level civilization is bound to be difficult." Xiao Yu pondered silently, "When the semi-four-dimensional Taihao from the Big Magellanic Nebula attacked the Sweeper civilization and finally triggered the all-galactic war, I clearly saw that there were hundreds of fifth-level civilizations appearing. Along the way, I have heard of the sixth-level scientific and technological civilization, but there are only three or four. This is already very telling, out of the hundreds of fifth-level civilizations, only three or four can be promoted to sixth-level. ”
"It doesn't matter, I have long been mentally prepared for the current predicament, it will take one or two thousand years to study slowly, I don't believe that with my huge computing power and the joint efforts of the scientists under my command, our Shenzhou civilization will be hindered here."
"The journey has just begun." Xiao Yu thought with confidence.
When all of Xiao Yu's liliang was focused on studying how to enter the sixth-level civilization, Luca No. 2, who was a scientist in the Department of Psychosocial Sciences, was not idle. Although the field it specializes in has little to do with technology.
When he broke through the planetary defense circle of the capital of the Melian civilization and looted the supercomputing center of the Molian civilization, because there was still plenty of time, Xiao Yu copied all the scientific and technological information, and also copied some information about social structure, finance, transportation, civil affairs, etc. Xiao Yu did not spend computing power to analyze these messages, but directly handed them over to Luca 2 as a reference for the scientists of the Department of Social Psychology led by Luca 2.
Now Luca 2 is in the huge ocean of data, looking for what he wants little by little.
"Molian Civilization Weishenme wants to open a sky blue market? In fact, from the perspective of practical interests, it is a very inappropriate choice to open a sky blue market, because the risk is too great, in other words, the gains outweigh the losses. As a result, it was precisely like this, the Azure Market did not exist for long, and it was completely moved away by our Shenzhou civilization. The Molian civilization is an existence that entered the fifth-level civilization earlier than our Shenzhou civilization, and I believe that they will also have some understanding of how to be promoted to the sixth-level civilization. ”
"I believe that the reason why the Molian Civilization opened the Azure Market has something to do with how it was promoted to the sixth level civilization. These clues are hidden in this vast amount of data. Can't find a way to break through to a sixth-level civilization from the scientific level? Let's try to find clues from the psychosocial aspect......"
"Whew...... I have a guess. There's no way to confirm this speculation, but I think it's worth a try......" (To be continued......
