Chapter 235: Experimental Negative Matter Cannon
After coming to the conclusion that the star was obscured by things, Xiao Yu's research hit a bottleneck.
Ten light years away, not close. Above this distance, a lot of information will be lost because of the distance. Before the close-up observation, Xiao Yu could no longer obtain more observational data. In desperation, Xiao Yu had no choice but to put this matter on hold for the time being, and instead went all out to digest the current science and technology.
With the joint efforts of Xiao Yu and thousands of scientists, the research and development of the antimatter engine has been progressing rapidly, and so far, Xiao Yu has developed a large antimatter engine that is enough to drive a county-level spacecraft.
It takes a lot of energy to make tachyons, and it takes antimatter technology to a certain extent. Xiao Yu can now meet these two conditions.
Under Xiao Yu's control, a total of tens of thousands of spaceships participated in the production of the first negative matter cannon.
Similar to the one in the Sky Blue Market, Xiao Yu has no ability to manufacture a super giant negative matter cannon with a muzzle diameter of five kilometers, but it is still barely possible to make a smaller one.
A negative matter cannon must contain two parts, one is a faster-than-light detection module, and the other is a tachyon launch module, that is, an attack module.
The faster-than-light detection module is simpler, because the tachyon travels faster than the speed of light, and its speed is much faster than the fastest faster-than-light spacecraft, so it can catch up with the ship that is traveling in curvature and then be reflected back by the original path. At that time, by analyzing its various changes, it will be possible to determine various data such as the speed, mass, volume and so on of the target.
Relatively difficult part. is an attack module. In order to support the huge energy demand, the energy supply module in the attack module must be built very large, and the large energy supply module means a large number of various precision instruments, which means that the construction difficulty increases exponentially.
But these problems were jointly solved by a group of scientists led by Xiao Yu. According to statistics, in the process of building the first negative material cannon, Xiao Yu encountered a total of more than 40,000 jishu problems, and there were more than 1,000 in terms of cannon barrel laying alone.
Of these more than 40,000 problems, Xiao Yu solved more than 20,000 by himself. Of the remaining 20,000, Xiao Yu distributed them to scientists of more than 100 races, of which Lucca scientists solved more than 7,000 and the remaining scientists of more than 100 races. On average, about one hundred and twenty were solved per race.
Every idea to solve the jishu problem will be recorded by Xiao Yu and compared with his current jishu methods. In the process. Constantly there are backward jishu being eliminated and replaced by new, more efficient jishu.
The construction of this negative material cannon promotes the progress of Xiao Yu's entire scientific and technological level.
"It seems that I have collected a lot of information from the rest of the universe and the strategy of the rest of the intelligent biological scientists. If I don't have them, I'll share the tasks. If I had done my own research, it would have taken me at least twice as long as I did at this point. ”
Looking at the construction drawings lying quietly in his mind, Xiao Yu was very emotional.
All kinds of construction materials, construction drawings and other things. It occupies 0.1% of all Xiao Yu's storage devices. That's more data than all the hard drives in Earth Age combined.
After the completion of the R&D phase, the specific construction work will begin. Xiao Yu will be able to complete this step on his own, and will no longer need the help of the scientist group. So, Xiao Yu assigned them a new task, and instructed them to continue to study how to increase the power of the negative matter cannon, reduce energy consumption, and reduce the volume, and he started the construction work with all his might.
After conducting a comprehensive survey of this binary star system, Xiao Yu decided not to build this first negative matter cannon on a planet, but on the orbit of a ring brown dwarf.
In Xiao Yu's planning, the volume of this negative material cannon will reach a length of more than ten kilometers, and the width and height will be seven kilometers and three kilometers respectively, in sharp contrast, the diameter of the muzzle is only less than two hundred meters. Its power will reach the point where it can shatter the four maintenance covers of a county-level spaceship with a single shot.
Xiao Yu knew that the Negative Matter Cannon technology, the Molian Civilization had just started, otherwise they would not have only built a Negative Matter Cannon on the surface of the planet, but not equipped it on the spaceship. However, his current level is still inferior to them, and he can only be regarded as the primary of the primary.
The Negative Matter Cannon is primarily designed for ships that are navigating with curvature, and it loses this maximum function when it is mounted on the surface of a planet or in the inner space of a star system, such as orbiting. Because in the inner space of the star system, because of the gravitational influence of the star, the spacecraft generally will not enter the curvature navigation, which will be very dangerous.
Although the speed of the tachyon is much faster than the speed of light, the negative matter cannon equipped inside the star system still does not have the ability to directly attack ships outside the star system. The reason is very simple, in interstellar space, although it is a vacuum, there will always be more or less cosmic dust there, and in a distance of tens of billions of kilometers, the accumulation of thin cosmic dust is also a considerable amount, and these cosmic dusts will greatly weaken the power of the negative matter cannon.
However, this step must be taken, only after the negative matter cannon is really built, can we consider how to make it more efficient, miniaturized, and finally equip it on the spaceship to start a battle in faster-than-light travel.
Moreover, even if it is a negative matter cannon built inside the galaxy, it is still an extremely powerful positional defense weapon. Xiao Yu didn't forget the Henan spaceship that was attacked by the negative matter cannon and disappeared directly from the universe.
Under Xiao Yu's command, tens of thousands of mining bases built on this rocky planet are running at full power, and thousands of tons of minerals are collected every moment, and after preliminary processing in situ, they are transported to the forging workshop for the next step of deep processing, and then transported to the casting workshop, precision machining workshop, where these materials are manufactured into precision parts by Xiao Yu according to the predetermined drawings, and then a robot loads them onto the spaceship, and the spacecraft transports them to the construction site.
It orbits 30 million kilometers from the brown dwarf, because the brown dwarf itself does not emit visible light, and its companion star is too far away, it is pitch black. However, the arrival of a spaceship shattered the silence.
It launched an artificial sun powered by an antimatter engine. After being launched, the artificial sun quickly rushed to the intended target, and under the action of its own power system, stabilized there, and then, the antimatter engine was activated, and it released an extremely strong light, illuminating the interstellar space tens of kilometers nearby.
This is only the first, and in the back, there is a second, a third......
Xiao Yu launched a total of dozens of artificial suns, and only after dispelling all the darkness in this area did he stop launching artificial suns.
Then, in the light of the artificial sun, a village-level spaceship arrived at the intended location, its hatch slowly opened, and several robots equipped with thrust reversers flew out with a cube-shaped instrument and placed it in orbit.
This was the first part in the formation of this negative matter cannon. After the first part, there is the second part. Several more robots flew out of the village-level ship carrying another irregularly shaped object, assembling the second part with the first, and connecting them with some haode wiring that had already been prepared.
The monitoring instruments installed inside the part send out a signal confirming that they have been connected correctly. After receiving this signal, Xiao Yu began to install the third and fourth parts......
All the parts for the manufacture of the first negative material cannon were transported here after the ground base had been manufactured. The ground base is responsible for manufacturing, the village-class ship is responsible for transportation, and here, only assembly is responsible.
Under this mode of division of labor, the construction of this negative material cannon proceeded rapidly. In just one day, with the first component as the core, the volume of this instrument has reached a length of nearly 100 meters, which is equivalent to the largest spacecraft in the history of the earth, the Russian Salyut space station.
Because of the increase in size, the more robots can be accommodated at the same time, at this moment, there are already thousands of construction robots of different shapes busy on its surface, thousands of spaceships have transported a large amount of fuel, parts, etc., between the spacecraft and the instrument, there are robots with flames on their backs shuttling and busy.
At least 70% of Xiao Yu's entire industrial system is used here. That's a huge liliang equivalent to the entire manufacturing power of at least a few hundred human societies, and now, all of this liliang is used to promote the construction process of this instrument.
Every step of building this instrument has been considered by Xiao Yu, and most of the problems encountered have been prepared by Xiao Yu for solutions in advance. However, even with such comprehensive and precise preparation in advance, countless problems were encountered in the actual construction process. However, the more than 7,000 scientists who have long been dead set on Xiao Yu are not dry food, they are fed by Xiao Yu's various favorable material conditions, and they are waiting every day with enthusiasm to work for Xiao Yu and find solutions to the problems encountered by Xiao Yu.
Under the light of hundreds of artificial suns, the volume of the first negative matter cannon is rapidly increasing...... (To be continued......)
