PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

Not to mention the actual completion of the technical design route of the faster-than-light spacecraft and the formation of a complete and reasonable set of detailed design schemes, it is already unthinkable for civilizations with low qualifications, insufficient accumulation of heritage, insufficient sensitivity and open-minded scientific and technological thinking, and it is already unthinkable to construct a feasible theory of faster-than-light flight.

As for those key links such as the specific spaceship design and construction plan, the engineering solution to technical problems, and the construction of the spaceship production line after the completion of the basic theoretical framework, it is naturally even more unattainable and dream-like existence, and ordinary civilizations have no chance to try the difficulty of that challenge.

Because confined to the basic framework of cosmic physics, at the level of conventional physics, the speed of light is already the highest speed in the universe, and nothing can travel faster than the speed of light in the universe. Space distortions and other changes acting on the space level make the spacecraft gain the ability to move in space faster than the speed of light in the process of normal travel below the speed of light.

For example, just like surfing, the tide maker gains the same high speed as the wave with the help of the propulsion of the wave, but in terms of the relative speed of the surfboard and the wave itself, it is actually negligible, and the same is true of the faster-than-light spaceship, which moves with the speed of the "space wave" itself. Although the actual speed is already faster than the speed of light, the relative displacement between the spacecraft and the "space wave" does not exceed the speed of light under the scale of cosmic rules, and does not violate the basic laws of the material world.

Therefore, in essence, under the technological system of scientific and technological civilization. The speed of the spacecraft itself is not the core focus of faster-than-light interstellar spacecraft, but the ability to operate in space is the core of the problem.

If you want to gain the ability to travel faster than the speed of light, you must find a way to circumvent the limitations of physical laws outside the conventional rules of physics, which is the normal solution.

However, this line of thinking is not top secret in itself, but it is a popular road commodity among civilizations, but for most civilizations. It is useless to know this set of ideas, because the core key to solving the real practical problem is not the general idea, but the more critical solution to the problem, which is the real difficulty.

Like, everyone knows that the key to the performance of jet aircraft is engine power, as long as the engine power problem can be solved, then even a brick can fly to you. The crux of the matter is how to solve the engine problem. What is a reliable design route, what is the complete set of system design, what are the specific production technology and process requirements, these things are the real core things, and if you want to solve it, you have to spend a lot of money. More importantly, you need to have enough conditions and facilities to do so.

If you want to design a qualified aero engine, you need a complete set of engine design theory, corresponding design software, and qualified development and design personnel. It is necessary to have suitable materials and laboratories, to have skilled enough processing and manufacturing personnel, but also to have enough advanced processing machines, which can process enough complex surfaces and machining accuracy, etc., only after this series of experimental conditions are met, equipped with sufficient capital supply, scientific research personnel after design, modification, and experiments again and again, in order to finally form a finalized qualified product.

The same is true for the core space engine equipment of the faster-than-light spacecraft, in the process of its development, there need to be countless complex conditional matching, and all aspects of the link are satisfied, in order to truly have the ability to develop this product, in order to finally get a series of solutions.

The problem is that all the technical aspects of the space engine, no matter which interstellar civilization, are the core and most secret civilization secrets, and they are subject to the highest level of secrecy system, and no one dares to leak them.

Not to mention that the complete system design, processing, and maintenance plan of the space engine itself will not be leaked, even if it is the various development details of this product, what conditions need to be met, what relevant subject knowledge needs to be possessed, the basic space theory of the space engine, etc., these things have not been passed on.

Not to mention systematic knowledge, no matter how ordinary the application formula of a part, the outside world cannot know, and even if it can be obtained, it will cost a lot of money, and be prepared to pay a large price for human life.

If other civilizations want to light up the technology tree of this technology, they can only start from the most basic space theory, establish their own theoretical system step by step, and then develop a set of systematic development software by themselves, starting from the most basic and trivial details, grinding through the ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulties, and finally after paying countless efforts, they can form their own things, and if they are lucky, they will finally create their own faster-than-light interstellar spacecraft.

The difficulties and obstacles in this are simply indescribable in words, and the specific investment and expenditure required are also unquantifiable and indescribable, it can only be said that even if it is the most fortunate civilization, it will take at least hundreds of years to invest immeasurable resources to develop, it is an incomparably long marathon of science and technology, and it is possible to drag a civilization thin, tired, and collapsed at any time, even if it can finally achieve what it wants, it will also pay an immeasurable price. Livelihood disasters, social unrest, and territorial disputes must all be measured in bundles.

After all, as soon as this research work is started, all kinds of expenses will flow out a lot, even the gold and silver mountains will have to be spent more than one, and what is even worse is that once the research work is done, it is often impossible to interrupt in the middle, once it is interrupted, if you want to pick it up again, you may have to start from scratch, this kind of thing few civilizations can bear, but those who are unwilling to give up a glimmer of hope, are not willing to sink and struggle at the bottom forever. I have to grit my teeth and work hard to support myself, and taste the sour taste of non-stop bleeding every day.

To put it reasonably, before any civilization does this, it must first be mentally prepared for the strength of civilization to fade and be tormented by turmoil and turmoil, and once tortured, it will be tortured for thousands of years. In the end, they were tortured to a whimper, and there were not a few who kicked their legs and drove the crane back.

As for those who are unlucky, it can only be said that their development investment is unlimited, and those who do not have the corresponding strength and luck will not be able to do it until the day when civilization is destroyed, and there are simply not too many such cases, and they are growing almost every day.

Of course. In fact, being able to enjoy this kind of civilization that is consumed by continuous blood pumping is not the worst, at least people still have touched some thresholds, and they know where to burn money, for the vast majority of ordinary civilizations, they can't even find where the threshold is, and they don't know where to burn if they want to burn money, which is too bad in comparison.

After all, people can burn money. Maybe one day luck will come, and it will rise all of a sudden. And those who don't even have money to burn, no matter how fat and strong they are, in the big circle of interstellar civilizations, they can only be reduced to the bottom forever, and they can only be smoked and cut meat.

It's just, even if you are unwilling. Most civilizations also have to admit that the difficulty of this project is indeed too high, and want to actually understand the nature of space, and finally find a set of effective space operation methods, to give their starship the normal maneuvering ability to go beyond it. Adding a space paddle system to create your own faster-than-light spaceship is nothing more than an unrealistic dream after all.

Let's just say that the civilization environment on the side of the meteorite star sea is extremely prosperous, the quality of the star field is high and terrifying, and there are life stars that can carry life everywhere, and the difficulty of civilization promotion is more than hundreds of times lower than that of the earth, so that there are thousands of large and small interstellar civilizations, and there are more than 300 interstellar civilizations that have joined the alliance circle of overlord-level interstellar civilizations, but there are only three that have the ability to independently build faster-than-light interstellar warships.

And under these three overlord-level civilizations, there are enough eight interstellar overlords, each of whom has a certain production capacity of the core components of superluminal interstellar battleships, and each of them claims to be only a line away from the standard of advancing to a real interstellar civilization, and they can immediately build their own superluminal battleships, but it has been a full three hundred years since the eight overlords shouted this slogan at the latest, and as a result, the eight interstellar overlords, from beginning to end, did not even have a superluminal interstellar battleship that could save their own, and so far it seems that there is still a distance away from achieving the goal of the slogan。

The eight big and small overlords, one of the most powerful in terms of technical strength, claimed to have collected all the core functional components of the faster-than-light interstellar battleship, pulled up a vote of allies to be responsible for supplying other parts, and tried to partner to save a superluminal interstellar battleship, which was once ambitious, trying to achieve the glorious cause of the fourth overlord in the region, but the result was good, although the spare parts were all accumulated, and the superluminal interstellar battleship was also saved, but when the effect was tried, it was okay when flying at low sub-light speed, and as soon as the space engine was started, trying to break into the field of superluminal flight, the result was immediately tragic, and within three minutes of superluminal flight, the spaceship explodedI can't even find a few parts that are bigger than the size of a fingernail.

This initial verification spaceship, the little overlord civilization has been changed to the thirteenth generation, before and after the scene of more than 800 years, the effect is also there, faster-than-light flight has been able to continue to fly for an hour, in a sense, it can be regarded as stepping into the threshold of faster-than-light flight, but unfortunately the design flaw is too big, a high-cost verification spaceship, faster-than-light flight flies for an hour, as soon as the flight is completed, you have to go back to the factory for overhaul, replace more than n spare parts, equivalent to the venue to rebuild half a spaceship, it is estimated that it is difficult to form the actual use value at least a thousand years, but this is the case, it is enough to make the snot bubbling of that little overlord civilization.

As the little overlord civilization in that area, which is most likely to be promoted to the fourth overlord-level civilization, although he is full of jokes in the process of developing a faster-than-light spaceship, and has not yet come up with a mature spaceship design plan, its scientific and technological strength is already the first place in the second ranks in the entire civilization star field, and the market cannot be underestimated.

After all, no matter how bad people's faster-than-light spacecraft is, no matter how impractical, no matter how funny, at least the fact is that people have really saved up a verification spaceship, which really has a certain ability to fly faster-than-light, and has the possibility of breaking the industry monopoly of the three hegemon-level interstellar civilizations, and has in fact become the light of hope and investment object of a large number of parallel trade-level civilizations, gathering a lot of attention and interests on it, even with the strength of the three hegemon-level civilizations, it is difficult to kill and encircle them, so that it has survived to this day, and it has become the climate, and it is even more difficult to suppress it。

In the eyes of many civilizations in that spacecraft, since the preliminary spacecraft verification machine with a certain superluminal speed flight ability has been made, this itself is already a real breakthrough, even if the progress is slow and the difficulty is high, under the continuous improvement of the spacecraft design, production and verification system that has been preliminarily perfected, the performance of the spacecraft will eventually gradually improve, and finally form practical value.

After all, this is also a fact in itself, from 800 years ago, the spacecraft went out of control as soon as it entered the state of faster-than-light flight, and exploded in three minutes, to now, after 800 years of modification and improvement, although there are still many detailed problems, such as the spacecraft faster-than-light flight time is too short, the spacecraft is too short, the use time of parts is too short, and a series of complex problems, but, after all, people's spacecraft has initially possessed the ability to fly faster-than-light, and can fly faster-than-light for an hour, reaching 1.2 times the faster-than-light flight efficiency.

This state of affairs itself has greatly increased the confidence of many investors, and they feel that the heavy bet they have placed on this civilization has finally not been lost, although the problem is still very serious, but the most important actual indicator is that there has been a breakthrough, which is exciting enough.

For the majority of investors, there is no need to ask for too much, only the verification machine needs to go through one or two generations of modifications and adjustments, in one or two hundred years, it can change the problem of durability defects of spacecraft parts, so that the spacecraft can still exit the faster-than-light flight state intact after one hour of faster-than-light flight, and after resting, it can enter the faster-than-light flight state again。
