Chapter 436: The Importance of Faster Than Light
The largest pier in the Orbit of the Earth Industrial Zone.
Su Zhe was still standing there busy, and some other people were standing far away, and these people were cautious when they discussed, for fear of affecting Su Zhe.
You know, the tests of the neutrino detection equipment and the neutrino communication equipment have been completed, and it stands to reason that these people should have left.
After all, it's not too late, but none of these people have left.
They were waiting here, and they wanted to know what kind of great discovery Su Zhe had made, and what they wanted to know more was whether Su Zhe's discovery was related to the speed of light.
Seeing that Su Zhe didn't react for a long time, they were very anxious.
Of course, even if they are in a hurry, these people are also discussing the effects of faster-than-light speed.
Si Wenbo looked at Su Zhe from a distance, and asked Zuo Dajun who was standing next to him: "Are you really sure that Su Zhe discovered the speed of light, to be honest, if it is really faster than the speed of light, then we humans will be lucky, look at the recent period of time, the continuous breakthroughs in key technologies, it is no exaggeration to say that we will soon be able to enter the interstellar era."
What he can be sure of is that as long as the proton fusion device is completed, then humanity will be able to enter the interstellar age.
At this time, the difficulty is faster-than-light.
You know, the universe is too big, even the speed of light is not the best.
Zuo Dajun shook his head and said, "I can't be sure, but it's not far from ten, even if it's not faster than light, it's a big discovery."
"Yes, but I still hope it has something to do with faster-than-light, which is too important to us right now." Si Wenbo said, "Think about it! If the second earth created by our Qingda can achieve faster-than-light flight, then the speed at which we develop the universe will be greatly increased, otherwise where we go in the future, most of our time will be wasted on the road."
As far as the second Earth they are about to build is concerned, it can only travel as fast as possible to the speed of light as far as possible.
It's impossible to exceed the speed of light.
Even at the speed of light, this speed is still too slow for the size of the universe.
After all, the closest star to the solar system, Proxima Centauri, is 4.3 light-years away.
It's been ten years since one came.
It's also a little too slow.
In addition, if there is no faster than the speed of light, then human communication with each other will be hindered in the future.
When there is no communication between human beings, alienation occurs over time.
If you don't communicate, you can't communicate.
There will certainly be a contradiction in the end.
Zuo Dajun nodded and said: "This is also a matter of no way, everyone knows that faster-than-light technology is good, but the reality is that there is not even a basic theory that supports faster-than-light, so naturally I started talking about it, but now it depends on luck, now you can observe the universe through neutrinos, maybe there will be unexpected discoveries, to be honest, there is really such a possibility."
Now there is neutrino detection technology.
In other words, the universe can be observed through neutrinos.
Compared to observing the universe with photons, observing with neutrinos has only just begun.
It's hard to say what you will find when you look at the universe with neutrinos.
It's a matter of luck.
Si Wenbo said seriously, "Yes! That's what I think, I just don't know if there will be those discoveries, I hope there will be a big discovery about faster-than-light, after all, we need faster-than-light so much, even if we can't achieve faster-than-light flight, it's good to achieve faster-than-light communication, so that the coverage of the virtual universe will be much larger."
In his opinion, even if you can't achieve faster-than-light flight, it's good to achieve faster-than-light communication.
Fan Xiaoming, who was standing next to him, looked at Si Wenbo and Zuo Dajun and said, "Now we haven't discovered the phenomenon of faster than light, that is, we haven't figured out the mechanism of faster than light, to be honest, as long as we discover the phenomenon of faster than light, then we can quickly come up with relevant theories, whether it is communication or flight, it is not difficult to implement."
Si Wenbo nodded and said, "That's the case, it's worse now
The discovery of faster-than-light phenomena and the supplementation and revision of related theories will be able to be discovered in the shortest possible time."
Zuo Dajun smiled and said, "I'm really anxious, and I don't know if the discovery has anything to do with the speed of light."
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "Now the people who are anxious are not only us, the whole network is in a hurry, we are anxious because Su Zhe has not been able to finish for a long time, we are curious about what Su Zhe's big discovery is, and the people who eat melons on the whole network are waiting for the results of our discussion, and want to know when the ignition verification of the proton nuclear fusion device will be carried out."
"What! It can still be like this." Zuo Dajun said with a big wave of his hand.
The footage of the live broadcast appeared in front of several people.
Zuo Dajun was surprised and said, "That's really the case."
After seeing the live broadcast room, he was surprised.
It's late at this time, and according to common sense, everyone is sleeping at this time.
These people at their dock are okay to say.
The reason why he didn't leave was to wait for a result from Su Zhe.
For these people.
Even if I go back now, I can't sleep, so it's better to wait a while and know the results on the spot to be more exciting.
But what he didn't expect was that because the ignition verification of the proton fusion device needed to be determined by Su Zhe.
The result is that so many people are waiting for the results in the live broadcast room.
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "It's such a coincidence, now everyone is waiting for Su Zhe, and I don't know when Su Zhe will get better."
Full of calculations, Su Zhe has been standing there for three hours.
Su Zhe has not completed it for such a long time, so Su Zhe's discovery will definitely not be small.
"Faster-than-light, faster-than-light." Zuo Dajun smiled, "I really hope that the technology discovered by Su Zhe is faster-than-light trace technology, and now with neutrino detection equipment and neutrino communication equipment, plus the soon-to-be-successful proton nuclear fusion device, we are basically complete, by the way, Su Zhe can say, soon we will be able to make a genuine heavy-photon aerospace engine, with the same configuration, the endurance of the flying saucer will be increased by at least a hundred times, of course, it would be good if we added faster-than-light."
When the proton fusion device is completed, then mankind has achieved energy freedom.
At this time, there is no problem to go to Proxima Centauri, but it will take a long time, after all, in the universe, as far as the current basic theory is concerned, nothing can sing the speed of light.
That is, the speed of light limits human development.
Hearing what Zuo Dajun said, Si Wenbo was taken aback, "What? The genuine heavy photon aerospace engine is about to appear, is this true or false?"
He knows a lot about heavy photon aerospace engines.
Its simplified version, which is the simplified version of the heavy photonic aerospace engine that is commonly used today.
The difference in energy efficiency between the simplified version and the genuine version is not a little bit and a half.
The difference between the two is at least a hundredfold.
This is not nonsense, but calculated.
But now that he hears it, the genuine heavy photon aerospace engine and the soon-to-be-finished aerospace engine are enough to shock him.
[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading
Yes, this can still be fake, look at it! In a few days, the genuine heavy photon aerospace engine will come out, and the simplified heavy photon aerospace engine can be eliminated."
Zuo Dajun smiled and said: "There have been too many technological breakthroughs during this time, just take the cold nuclear fusion device and the genuine heavy photon aerospace engine, after the two are added together, the endurance of all equipment is almost 10,000 times that of dozens of years ago, to be honest, this is too scary, it can only be said that we have made progress too fast."
The cold nuclear fusion device increases the energy carried, and the genuine heavy photon aerospace engine improves the utilization rate.
Once the two are combined, it is invincible.
Si Wenbo smiled and said, "Okay! All right! Our second Earth will use a genuine heavy photon aerospace engine, but it still can't break through the speed of light, if only it could break through the speed of light."
None of this can exceed the speed of light.
Zuo Dajun said, "Yes! These can't exceed the speed of light, to be honest, these are more than enough for the development of the solar system, but the development of the universe outside the solar system, seriously, the development is also possible, but it is very slow, and it cannot be managed in a unified way, and after a long time, it will be fought separately, which is not good."
You know, the diameter of the solar system is not small.
There is a light year.
In other words, it takes a year for light to travel from one part of the solar system to the other end.
It's not big to say big, and it's not small to say small.
With all of this now, unified management is barely possible.
This is the solar system.
If only it were outside the solar system.
There's basically nothing you can do about it.
You know, Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the solar system, is 4.3 light-years away.
It is basically impossible to make such a distance bigger and manage it in a unified way.
Even if it doesn't require unified management.
If you want to develop, it is also limited by the speed of light.
You know, the radius of the Milky Way is 100,000 light-years.
It would take 100,000 years for the light to fly away from the Milky Way, and if it reaches the galaxies around the Milky Way, it will be even farther away.
Let's just say the Milky Way.
Human beings are developing at the speed of light, and it will take 100,000 years to spread across the entire galaxy at the earliest.
Seriously, it's been too long.
If you count the universe, it doesn't change.
So, to a certain extent.
To put it simply, if a civilization has achieved energy freedom, it is the speed of light that restricts the development of this civilization.
If the speed of light cannot be broken, then the development of this civilization will be limited by the speed of light, and it is basically impossible to develop and grow first.
You know, it's even a civilization.
With the development of the outside world, it is also difficult to contact each other, and once there is any problem, there is no backup.
It can only be faced alone.
In this way, the road to development is basically cut off.
Not to mention the development of the entire universe, it is difficult to develop the galaxy in which it is located.
No matter what civilization it is, as long as it does not break through the speed of light, then the potential for the development of this civilization is limited.
From this point of view, this is the difficulty.
Si Wenbo nodded and said: "That's the case, just because of this, I expect Su Zhe's great discovery to be related to the speed of light, not to mention a thousand times more than the speed of light, it would be good if it could be ten times, then we will go to Proxima Centauri for less than half a year, and it will take a year to go back and forth, to be honest, I can almost accept such a situation, as for the current situation, don't plan to come back if you go to Proxima Centauri, it will take too much time to run once."
The speed of light is still too slow for the universe.
Or rather, the universe is too big.
Human lifespan is limited, and even if the lifespan of human beings is extended, it is still not enough compared to the distance between the stars in the universe.
Just the size of the universe.
Either a person's life is long enough, then he can slowly explore the universe, or else
It is to master faster-than-light technology.
Otherwise, you will only be locked by the speed of light.
Zuo Dajun sighed and said: "I can only say that the universe is too big, but I am still very optimistic, in ancient times, communication was very troublesome, basically relying on horses, at that time I didn't know how big the earth was, but with the development of science and technology, the earth that I didn't know the size of the earth in the past has become a global village, and now, there is no difficulty in the development of the solar system, when it burns, the current solar system is similar to the ancient earth, you have to communicate for half a year and a year, this is still acceptable, and there is nothing you can do in the distance, but I believe." With the development of science and technology, the solar system will become a solar village, the Milky Way will become a galaxy village, and the universe will also become a universe village."
Fan Xiaoming nodded and said: "I also think that the universe is so big, it is impossible to exist without the speed of light, we have not discovered it yet, that is our ability has not yet developed to a certain point, as long as we adhere to the development of science and technology, it is a matter of time before the speed of light is over, not to mention anything else, we can't explain the phenomena very well, which means that we don't know the rules of the universe fully enough, we have to continue to work hard, and when we fully grasp the rules of the universe, then there will be no difference between us humans and God."
It can be said that human beings now only know the rules of the universe at the scratch of the surface.
In his opinion, as long as a civilization has mastered all the rules of the universe, then that civilization is invincible in the universe.
It's no different from God.
Si Wenbo looked at Su Zhe in the distance, and said seriously: "I really hope that Su Zhe's great discovery is related to the speed of light, and besides, we must let more people join the scientific research of science and technology, in my opinion, science and technology are our core competitiveness, from the whole universe, whoever masters more science and technology is more advanced, then this civilization can stand on an absolute advantage, as for resources and energy, the universe is everywhere, there is really no shortage, what is lacking is always science and technology."
Science and technology, resources and energy are more important.
