Chapter 359: Breeding and Interstellar Propulsion Technology

In the flickering and leisurely years, the time came to the year 427 of the rune calendar, and it had been 4 years since Nesta broke through;

All the existing high-level spellcasters have entered a state of retreat, and Nesta has also completed the work of gene cracking, and recently completed the cultivation and distribution of integrated organs, and then began to modify the stock of germ cells.

But in any case, everything is being carried out in an orderly manner, and even if there are as many germ cells in stock as there is a tide, there will always be a day when it will be done due to the size and speed of Nesta.

Then, new problems arise, or they have already arisen

Under the new gene, the pokemon will start from a small fertilized egg and go all the way to the natural size of a million tons, and the resource supply needs during this period cannot be ignored.

After calculating the scale of supply, the ruling government decided to adopt more scientific breeding methods to cultivate meat such as volcanic salamanders, and to expand the scale of production capacity as much as possible in terms of source abundance and speed.

First of all, they selected the strongest batch of various magical beasts as breeding beasts, and created a controlled breeding environment on the two modified stars above their heads;

Later, scholars compiled a series of magical formations related to fertility and breeding, including domestication, control, aphrodisiac, inducing labor, and nursing, and gave them to various sects and city-state forces, so that they could at least master a few breeding techniques for different strains of demonic beasts;

The special ecosystems on the two stars that have undergone targeted rectification will also be gradually handed over to them in the coming time, so that they can become professional farmers in the Republic and produce more food for the elves.

There is no easier way, but the ruling government has not chosen to do so

At the very least, the technology for the industrial production of genetically modified synthetic meat was already available and mature, but in the end it was decided to leave the production to the sects and city-states.

Taste, time, and trouble are only a small part of the reasons for the choice, and more consideration is to increase the practical use of vassal forces for the Republic, so that they have more production categories, more jobs, and trade options, and thus make the social system healthier and more stable.

When the work needs to be carried out from the compilation of the divine arts, to the selection of breeding, to the transformation of the park, and after that, the transfer of breeding targets and the construction of supporting divine grace factories need to be carried out, so it will take a certain amount of time for the whole system to be finally perfected;

As a result, preparations are ongoing and are expected to continue for a few years or so

On the other hand, even if fusion is about to replace fission as the main source of energy access, the demand for superheavy metals and heavy metals is increasing, and the reason is naturally due to the upcoming and sustainable growth wave.

In fact, there are many such resources in the mantle core of the home star, and a lot of them have been collected from the inner ring belt that has been swept away and the outer ring belt that is being swept away, and there are very few areas in the mother star system that are considered 'Jedi' for the elves, except for a very few areas such as the stellar core, most of the places are in a state of picking;

Even the most ferocious four-tracked star had obediently lifted her thick and surging outer atmosphere at this time, revealing a sea of metal under the superweight pressure within.

Therefore, in the short term, the existing resources in the parent star and the parent star system alone are enough to support the development for a considerable period of time.

But the long-lived elves are not only a 'short-term' species, and the desire to explore the vast starry sky has long been impatient, let alone a new excuse?

As a result, the mining and colonization of Proxima Centauri's galaxy has been really launched, and the research and development of faster voyage technology has long been written into the experimental plan, and several technical routes based on different starting points have been generated.

Nesta's doppelganger had already visited the entire R&D system earlier, and the interstellar engine was naturally one of his key research projects, and he also participated in it in addition to the visit, spreading the benefits of his breakthrough.

Broadly speaking, there are several directions for the development of interstellar engines in the Republic today.

First of all, it is the most traditional and the most stretched working fluid propulsion, and chemical fuel propulsion and ion propulsion are representatives of this category;

Among them, the former has long been basically eliminated, and now it is more of an ancillary project of chemical research;

The latter, after the introduction of fusion energy, fusion auxiliary charged products, magnetic confinement particle accelerated jet engine and other supporting assistance, has a rather limited second spring;

And after the accession of Nesta, it has reduced a certain volume and scale, and achieved a theoretical speed of 0.15 times that of light that can only be achieved by requiring a long acceleration period and a huge amount of energy investment, at least at least at the moment when the means of 'cheating' the mass acquisition mechanism and failing to undergo a 'qualitative change'.

Therefore, whether in the past or in the present when fusion products have become working fluids, this kind of thruster can only exist as an aid to light sail drive in long-distance voyages across star systems, playing a limited role in trajectory adjustment and prolonging the high-speed travel period.

secondly, it is the most widely used and relatively mature light-sail propulsion technology today;

Due to a series of problems such as the light pressure being too small and the mass of the quasar fortress being too large, the light sail system does not rely on pure stellar natural light or laser beams to propel the ship forward;

The laser beam used in the process will first complete an additional superposition of the concept of faith, at the cost of reducing its absolute speed, and attach more pressure to it;

While the terminal spacecraft cancels out part of its own mass, it also needs to regenerate a wide-area photosensitive field based on hedging beliefs, and then receive the force that has been endowed with concepts such as holy light, and use the opposition between the two sides that is given by the subjective consciousness of living beings to achieve propulsion.

In order to make the most efficient use of them, the Republic has also arranged a large number of holy laser generators in the boundaries of the parent star system, from the inside to the outside, from dense to sparse;

In addition, there are also the 'Lost Ships' in the Proxima Star System, which have also been transformed by the projections into the Holy Laser Generator, presumably when the ships carrying immigrants and flesh and blood metal arrive, there is already an effective passage to and fro.

The progress made in the three aspects of energy, wisdom brain, and inscription spells has also just promoted the promotion of the light sail from three aspects, and has raised it from the original upper limit of 0.55 times the speed of light to about 0.58 times the level again.

Although the difference may not seem like a lot, 'light' is, after all, the most extreme speed base in the universe besides imagination and thoughts, so when you expand it to kilometers or 10,000 meters per second, you can see that this is a significant enough improvement.

However, after the light sail propulsion takes effect, it can only travel on a fixed course, which is not enough to deal with all kinds of accidents that may occur when traveling across star systems, so the spacecraft must also have a set of engine systems as adjustments;

In this way, the fusion reactor and the magnetic confinement particle accelerator are combined, and there is a particle jet engine that can only be accommodated by the quasar fortress, and their combination is the 'auxiliary engine' mentioned earlier, which will use the charged fusion products ejected by the acceleration to generate thrust, and then play a role in fine-tuning the course.

~~~~~~~

Thirdly, it is the 'super-space-time transfer' technology born from the belief in Yongdao and the 'sub-light speed navigation' technology born from the life force field, and the preconditions for the two are also roughly similar.

The former needs to transform the real matter into the 'virtual particles' that carry thoughts, and the virtual particles can pass through the path of faith, thus forming the phenomenon of 'super-temporal transfer', which only needs to be transformed back into the material form again after arriving at the destination;

The latter, on the other hand, requires the transformation of matter into states such as electromagnetism and light, so as to achieve the purpose of traveling at the speed of light or sub-light.

For now, scholars will not deny the validity of both.

Because in reality, there have been warriors who have completed extremely limited electromagnetization, photonicization, gasification, and even gravitational field of their own extremely limited transformation, and there are also warlocks who have completed the same extremely limited thinking, and have the corresponding natural and conceptual attributes in the transformation parts.

Even if the degree of transformation is less than 1/100,000,000 of the total mass of the body, the 'dimorphism' exhibited by this part alone is enough to prove the feasibility of the direction;

And then, by extending this transformation to non-living forms, to the state given through the inscription array, it may be possible to transform an entire quasar fortress with its crew;

It can then be either stuffed into the Faith Tunnel to complete the chrono-time transfer, or it can be extended as long as possible to gain the overall sub-light speed, or even the ability to travel at the speed of light, which is not yet achievable.

But when you think about it, you know that this is a difficult path to reach the end, and in the process, in addition to allowing the warriors and warlocks to grind out a result by relying on the life force field, they can only wait for the spellcasters led by Nesta to continue to overcome obstacles in the microscopic realm, and maybe when their 'self' goes deeper into the microcosm world, the current situation will be different

~~~~~

Either there is some kind of hard defect, or there is a limitation of convenience at the application level, or it is too far away from the implementation, in short, the above technologies are inappropriate in one way or another;

And the last direction that I want to talk about is not perfect, but it has gradually begun to radiate its own brilliance in the course of long-term research.

When Iesta and Eshara first broke away from their home planet and flew into low-Earth orbit, the latter observed the essence of the anti-gravity effect in the inner field of vision, that is, the anchoring effect of the grand 'Mass String Gathering Ground' to the target of the spell;

And at the same time, in her inner vision, she sensed the 'fragility' of the space due to the strange way of arriving at the effect of the spell.

From today's perspective, this so-called 'grand gathering place of material strings' refers to the cosmic constituent units such as stars, galaxies, and even rivers.

The 'fragility' caused by the multi-party gravitational effect is caused by the distortion of the space along the way when the gravitational effect is gratuitously seduced and applied to the target of the spell.

As a result, after many years of internal perturbation observation of this type of spell, the 'anti-gravity surface vehicle', which has long been popularized, was born.

Now, we want to extend it to interstellar travel, and there are two scenarios that have taken it into account.

First, it has fast progress and relatively low difficulty to achieve, which is an upgraded version of the anti-gravity surface vehicle, that is, a space gravitational field towing vehicle;

This technology has already made a certain breakthrough and has been widely used in the process of spacecraft entering orbit, and can also play the role of 'traction marker' when sailing, which can effectively guide the direction of the spacecraft.

What is being carried out now is the research aimed at capturing, amplifying, canceling out, and shielding the gravitational field of stars and even rivers acting on spacecraft, and then forming an ultra-long-distance directional traction effect.

It is envisaged that this will be applied to the route of the star system and has a high degree of flexibility, but the difficulty lies in amplifying the traction effect of multiple gravitational fields on the spacecraft at the same time, and capturing and transforming the new field in real time on the way.

And in the process, it is necessary to deal with very significant ultra-close pulling forces at all times, especially those stars in the same inertial frame.

For example, when traveling towards outer space, the sun is the biggest countervailing object for the spacecraft.

At this stage, the research team has successfully captured and limited the gravitational effect of Proxima 5-1 (neutron star) and Proxima 5-2 (main-sequence star) on the experimental spacecraft, and at the same time limited the 'pulling' of the sun on the spacecraft, so as to preliminarily realize the non-working fluid navigation similar to the advance of the slide.

In addition, the scholars have summarized the relevant formulas and integrated the preliminary brain control program, and all factors such as traction from body weight, target spacing, and target quality have been included in the selection of terminals.

In the next step, it is necessary to simultaneously capture and amplify gravitational sources of more than 10 digits, so that the rest of the stars in the same direction as the Biling-5 double star in space can also become a boost, and the selection of traction sources can be quickly switched during the voyage.

The next step is to capture and amplify the gravitational field of more distant massive neutron stars and black holes, and it is expected that we will try to integrate the traction force at the river system level, so that those neutron stars, black holes, river systems, and even multiple river systems can act as spacecraft traction at the same time.

Theoretically, the more effective traction sources integrated and amplified, the faster the target spacecraft can achieve speed;

Although it is certainly not equal to or break through the speed of light, the degree of zero tenths of a time or even sub-light speed may be imagined.

After the successful advancement of Niesta, due to various reasons that have been mentioned many times before, some of the above steps have been realized, and the preliminary verification type of 'multi-celestial supervariable gravitational field traction engine' was born;

If all goes well, the quality of the spacecraft will not only not be a drag on the voyage, but will form a positive assist in the towing process, avoiding the embarrassment of traditional engines in this regard, and at the same time, it will have a far greater flexibility than the baresail propulsion system and can adapt to more complex sailing needs.

The only question that remains is how much traction can be used, how much speed can be obtained, and how much energy is required to drive the inscription, but at least in terms of flexibility, this will be a good technical choice, and it is worth continuing to advance.

secondly, the application concept of 'space fragmentation' is slow and difficult to realize;

Scholars believe that if we can find a way to turn this 'sense of brokenness' into a real 'brokenness', it is very likely that part of the reality belongs to space, and this is very likely to be another way to realize the 'speed of light', but it is not yet known in what form it will manifest.

Perhaps, it will be a direct jump from one point to another;

Or, it is a kind of super-temporal passage similar to the path of faith;

Or is it some kind of twist on space?

But no matter which one of them is, or the rest of the forms that still exist beyond the imagination, it will undoubtedly be a reality worth looking forward to, and it will surely bring new knowledge and insight to the kingdom.

Of course, the 'slowness' and 'difficulty' in the meantime have also been profoundly reflected, and the corresponding simulation experiments carried out in the virtual realm have shown that things are not as optimistic as imagined.

In the experiment, the scholars virtually used the maximum energy output they have now, activated all the thoughts in the inventory, and turned them into the belief mode that most matches the space and gravitational field, and at the same time used the total amount of matter of the entire three-star lunar system as the carrier of the magic inscription and the divine grace inscription system, but they failed to take the step from 'brokenness' to 'brokenness'.

Think about it too

Not to mention that there are so many river systems and their superior systems all over the space, and I have never seen it really crush the cosmic space in which it is located, let alone be pulled by thousands of miles and weakened a lot of gravitational effect.

All in all, space seems to be an extremely resilient and stable concept, at least with the current technical capabilities, it is not really possible to break it, and even whether and in what form it will happen is still only imaginary, and it seems that it is still far from being realized.

However, this is not absolute, the ability of the virtual realm to simulate the material world is equivalent to the overall understanding of the real by the elves, so when simulating such phenomena beyond the scope of existing cognition, there is often a large degree of data loss and distortion;

Although the associated virtual experiments are based on small-scale real-world verification, who knows how many of these overlooked factors exist and what kind of impact they have?

But in any case, the cost of using the amount of matter on the scale of the moon around the moon, using all of the current energy output capacity, and attaching all the reserves of faith and thoughts is still a bit too high for now, and it is not something that can be considered in the short term;

Therefore, the scholars of the research group retreated to the next best thing, and set the goal to observe the vicinity of neutron stars and black holes, wanting to see what kind of disturbance forms they exhibit in their natural state and under the influence of ultra-long-range anti-gravity magic, hoping to find some new disturbance manifestations different from the sun from this observation.

Even if they don't end up with space fragmentation and faster-than-light travel, it will certainly play a big role in promoting the existing gravitational field applications, so they even want to visit the black hole in the center of the river system if they have the chance.

Of course, neutron stars exist next door a few light-years away, so the opportunity to observe them should come soon;

But the closest black hole to the Sun is 900 light-years away, and it will take at least 1,300 years to reach it with the latest technology, and the black hole at the center of the river system is even farther away

For a galaxy with a radius of 110,000 light-years and more than 500 globular clusters with a total of more than 10 trillion stars, the parent galaxy is just a grain of sand in a remote area on the extreme edge.

Therefore, even in terms of the conceit of the elves, it is only a distant dream and prospect of the central black hole 'tourism'
