Chapter 734: The Journey
The huge spaceship formation is slowly advancing in space, although the powerful space technology allows the spacecraft to easily reach 0.8 times the speed of light, but this speed is still slow! Moreover, if the speed reaches 0.8 times the speed of light, the mass of the spacecraft increases to 2.8 times the initial mass out of thin air, allowing the ship's engine, energy reserves, etc., to work to the limit. And accelerating to 0.8 times the speed of light, it took a full year!
To be honest, if it weren't for the influence of the black hole, the intelligent life here took the opportunity to explore a little space technology, they would not have reached the current technology. It's just that space has always been synonymous with esoteric and difficult, and even if it is a unique condition like the Pearl Star Field, it can only touch the skin of space; Then we developed an engine that could act in space.
Unlike the technology of humans on Earth, this is a real space engine, and not an engine that can only be used in gravitational fields. Such an engine can be said to be the perfect version of the anti-gravity engine. Of course, with different civilizations and different focuses, the core of technology may be 108,000 miles apart. But for now, practically, it is indeed the current level of engine technology of human beings on earth. Space technology, by blood, is more noble than ordinary technology! This is a question of origin, not R&D strength.
In the universe, 105 spacecraft are rapidly advancing and adjusting their orbits from time to time to prevent them from entering the gravitational circle of stars; At this point, it is much more powerful than the technology of human beings on earth! The spacecraft technology on the earth is still relatively primitive, especially the power technology; In cosmic space. It's hard to adjust the orientation easily.
On the ship, the power of the empire is the mainstream, and the power of the Flame Family is less than one percent; But as a top family, of course, it also has a powerful means of preserving life, which makes the second prince Lieyang. Light. Bo Ying was helpless. Before leaving, the Holy Sun Emperor told the second prince that there was a chance to kill the people of the Flame Family!
In the plan of the Holy Sun Empire, in that civilization, directly obtain mature technology, and even use the power of that civilization to build spaceships with alternative technology, etc., and then return strongly; At that time, the Flame Family will be given a name. Unplug this restless family!
Only now. The Empire does not yet possess complete absolute power, and the Flame Family is not to be underestimated; Therefore, for the time being, I can only forbear. The empire is not the final say of the emperor alone or a family, it is a comprehensive embodiment of power.
But. The emergence of this alternative civilization. Let the Holy Yang Emperor see hope. He also saw the power to change the Pearl World - or the key, and also let the Holy Yang Emperor see the power of Chen Xiong's Pearl World! And such a power is definitely not allowed to be mastered by the Flame Family!
That video. The Holy Yang Emperor has also seen it, and it can only be described as terrifying. Under the absolute physical impact of the so-called energy protection technology, it is like a joke!
Moreover, the physical weapon allowed the Holy Sun Empire to see the possibility of ultra-long-range attacks. Just like the research of human beings on Earth, energy weapons and field energy weapons, although fast and flexible; But such energy decays in the cosmic space. Especially as energy weapons become more and more powerful, there is a repulsion and explosive reaction between the energy of the guide, so that the Pearl Star Domain has a very strange characteristic: that is, the more developed the technology and the greater the attack power, the closer the effective attack distance of the weapon! Because the energy carried by the energy weapon is too large, and as soon as it leaves the muzzle, it will begin to "expand"!
This is the table where the energy is too concentrated. With the increase in energy intensity, the war in the Pearl Star Domain had to be gradually compressed from one million kilometers to one hundred thousand kilometers.
As the energy level increases, pure physical impact weapons and energy weapons become polarized; That is, the more powerful the energy weapon, the shorter the effective range; And the more powerful the physical weapon, the longer the effective shooting distance! For example, right now, the shooting distance of 160 light years - if it is not blocked, it may be even farther! Maybe it will go on forever.
Human electromagnetic wave communication, etc., the maximum radiation radius is 50 light years; More than fifty light-years, the signal is too weak to capture; Of course, some military communication technologies, such as directional communication technology or sky communication technology, can radiate farther -- this is also the signal received in the Pearl Star Field. But this also shows that the energy itself is spreading all the time.
No matter how powerful an energy weapon is, the essence is still the application of energy; The dark matter, microwave radiation, etc., which are common in the universe, are also energy, which will more or less interfere and weaken; Especially if the energy itself is too concentrated, the temperature will inevitably be high - and it will radiate! When the temperature is high to a certain range, the amount of radiation is so large that a radiation effect similar to an energy explosion is formed, and the effective range of the final energy weapon is getting closer and closer. And now, the sudden appearance of physical weapons has given the Holy Yang Empire an alternative hope. Of course, physical weapons are powerful, but a brand-new, complete, and powerful civilization is even more of a piece of fat.
As mentioned earlier, people need food for survival, and the growth of empires and the promotion of civilization also need food! And the only thing that can be used as food for civilization and empire is civilization, wisdom, etc.!
"Hope you don't disappoint me too much!" The second prince Lieyang. Light. Bo Ying quietly thought about the next trip. At 160 light years and a travel speed of 0.8 times the speed of light, a spaceship needs to travel for more than 200 years! Even in the current Holy Yang Empire, 200 years old is already the first limit of normal medical guarantees; If you talk about rich people, etc., you can prolong your life by adjusting genes, injecting nanomachines and mixing people and medicines; However, the life limit is still difficult to reach 250 years. Unlike human beings on the earth who have just begun to study life, the research on life in many countries here has been very developed. The brain of an intelligent life in general also has carrying capacity; With the increase of age, the increase of memory, and the exposure to various diseases/stimuli, etc., the brain will be close to the limit, and in the end, such a complex intelligent life brain, even the scientists of the Pearl Star Field, are helpless.
Quietly closing his eyes, the second prince carefully scrutinized every link to ensure the smooth flow of this interstellar trip. To be honest, the journey of 160 light years is the first time in the Pearl Star Field! Ahead, there is uncharted territory, especially the intelligent race that civilization does not know whether it belongs to the peace-loving camp or not, and all of this is a challenge.
The automatic doorbell rang "Ding Dong ......", waking up the second prince who was pondering.
The loyal bodyguard, who had been standing behind the second prince, carefully opened the door - the images displayed on the screen were not credible, and it was impossible to count how many princes had died in the struggle for power.
The man who came was one of the three commanders of the army this time: Yongguang. Glory. Brave; "Rong" belongs to the lowest title. But the people of such a small family are more loyal, because they have no choice but to follow a certain prince to the end, and there are several results: brilliance, glory and wealth, small wealth and small nobility, mediocrity, death, and rejection. And the small family that betrayed, there is only one last result! After the development of such a background, a unique culture has been formed in the Pearl Star Domain - small and medium-sized families, relying on loyalty to obtain the right to live; And the great power that is attached to it also needs to be treated kindly, after all, everyone is prosperous.
"Your Highness," Yongguang. Glory. Brave and straight, firm and bright; Being able to be a powerful assistant to the prince and one of the three major military commanders of this interstellar trip, in addition to being loyal, his own ability should definitely not be underestimated.
"How's it going?" The second prince did not raise his head and continued to be busy with his own affairs; Far from causing disgust, such a move gave his subordinates a sense of absolute trust. This second prince is not a simple character, otherwise such an important action, how can it be the turn of the second prince to lead the team.
"Your Highness, it has been ascertained. This time, the Flame Family actually has two thousand powerful superpowers! The ability and ability to be mastered are immeasurable; But the most powerful is estimated to have reached the realm of 'Ming'! ”
Oh? The second prince raised his head, and surprise flashed in his eyes! Ordinary people only know that the empire has five titles: Light, Ming, De, Xin, and Rong, but they don't know that in the world of superpowers, this actually corresponds to the standard of five levels of superpower strength!
The Flame Family can awaken a mysterious ability, this ability is to control flames, high temperatures, etc., this is a superpower! In the energy-rich Pearl Star Domain, there are not many such families, and the royal family of the Lieyang family can also awaken an ability to control lightning. Such superpowers are almost all over the Pearl Star Field, but the mechanism of superpowers has not been thoroughly studied; Anyway, all countries understand that it is not a problem of genes! And the purer the bloodline, the higher the proportion of awakening and the greater the final achievement.
After pondering for a long time, the second prince finally made up his mind, "Forget it, wait and see what happens." Keep a close eye on them, and if there's anything wrong with the other party, do it immediately. 2000 superpowers should just be seeking self-preservation. But have every soldier wear a high-temperature ray gun, just in case! ”
"Yes!" Yongguang. Glory. After saluting, slowly withdraw. The horror of superpowers is not only their own superpowers; In addition, they are able to manipulate weapons specially created for superpowers, and have superior reaction speeds, which makes their individual combat ability can be described as terrifying.
Because the history of civilization in front of him is unknown, the second prince doesn't want to lose his strength here, and the matter is temporarily suppressed. At the same time, the Empire of the Holy Sun, the Empire of Dawn, and the Empire of Kaiwei began to put on a good show. First of all, neither the Holy Sun Empire nor the Dawn Empire wanted a powerful neighbor to look at them, so they began to weaken the Kaiwei Empire. After all, war is a last resort, so this battle begins with a confrontation in terms of economy and trade, resources, and energy.
However, the Sun Empire and the Flame Clan are waiting for the returning spaceship to bring back new civilization information and technology. Of course, the Dawn Empire is also waiting for the Flame Family's backlash...... Anyway, I have waited for thousands of years, and I don't care about waiting for a few more years.
…………………………
Lonely space, 105 spacecraft formation lonely forward, day by day, year by year, some people are old, and new people are born; The universe is so far away, for the current intelligent life, if you want to travel the universe, it will take several generations of "relays"! (To be continued......)
