Chapter 765 Warp Engine Research-Energy Crystal Technology


After the actual exchange and research, both the Lieyan family and the humans on Earth sneered - both sides have a lot of hidden technologies! It's just that if you want to study warp engines, these hidden things have to be revealed. Otherwise, the research on warp engines can only be done on paper. It is also known that it was only at this time that everyone suddenly discovered that, damn, what was hidden was truly top-notch technology.

For example, Earth's humans' cosmic information theory, electromagnetic and space interference theory; Lieyan family's space-time distortion formula, energy (cannon) compression technology... especially the earth's metaphysical technology, which shocked the Lieyan family.

These are truly top-notch technologies, any one of which can improve the development of civilization for hundreds of years out of thin air. And the most important thing is that these real high technologies are often just a few hundred words of theory plus a few formulas - of course, this is the result of final convergence, such as the theory of relativity; but actual verification and I don’t know how much energy was spent on the exploration process.

In order to study the warp engine, Zhang Jingyuan personally went out and led his metaphysics technology team to personally participate in the research. There is teleportation array technology in practice, but this technology is out of reach for the current earth civilization! Because the energy that drives the teleportation array cannot be found in this universe. Even if the universe is different and the laws are different, those things can only be learned from.

But after all, there is a well-established technology that can be used for reference. Of course, after everyone comes up with the technology to really keep the bottom of the box, it is inevitable to negotiate again. After comprehensive consideration, Zhang Shengtang signed a new agreement; without changing the original conditions, he added: The Lieyan family fully supports the development of human beings on Earth in the Pearl Star Domain for one hundred years; the timing unit is the AD of Earth's history. ; Converted into the time used by Lieyan Family. Around 1999. Depending on the region, even if the times are similar, there are still some errors.

The difficulty of researching warp engines is beyond imagination, because space itself is an invisible and intangible existence - and the most important thing is that we are in space.

In the 550th year of the Imperial Calendar, scientists made a breakthrough and "weighed" the "mass" of the universe itself. Just like fish living in water, planets, galaxies, etc. also live in the ocean of the universe. And the quality of the universe itself. It actually accounts for 90% of the mass of the universe! The exploration itself. It also solves the long-standing assumptions about dark matter and dark energy that have troubled mankind - the universe itself has both space and energy characteristics. Just like light, it behaves as both waves and particles.

Weigh out the mass of the universe. In a certain way. It means that the universe is no longer "completely" invisible and intangible.

Imperial calendar year 557. The theory is perfect and another breakthrough is achieved, under the guidance of new theory. Using the warp engine, each advance can fold and compress the "detection range of the detector" - to compress space, precise positioning is required, which requires detector detection. At present, the maximum accurate detection range of ship-based detectors is approximately 10 billion kilometers. At the speed of light, it takes more than seven hours to reach 10 billion kilometers; but if you use the warp engine, it only takes one hour - of which 50 minutes are still charging time, and the jumping time is only ten minutes!

But everything should not be too ideal; if you want to compress the folding space and distort the jumping space, you have to put forward new requirements for technology! First of all, of course, it is energy; the universe is a "conserved" individual, and everything in the universe needs to abide by this premise. Therefore, the amount of energy required to cross 10 billion kilometers is staggering! Its energy consumption is equivalent to the energy required to start a spacecraft from scratch and accelerate to 0.9 times the speed of light! Yes, accelerated to 0.9 times the speed of light! At 0.9 times the speed of light, the mass of the spacecraft is 5.26 times the mass under normal circumstances!

To achieve such a speed, the energy required is even more than imagined; even the scientists of the Lieyan family are a little stunned by such energy consumption.

And beyond that, it’s the materials! To withstand the impact of space folding and the instantaneous impact of huge energy, all material technologies point directly to degenerate matter!

Degenerate matter is one of the pinnacle technologies of mankind on earth today. In this state, atomic nuclei are compressed together, but different atomic types will also obtain different degenerate matter after compression. However, this degenerate state of matter is produced directly from the perspective of atomic nuclei, that is, picometer material. This kind of material, let alone the cost, is simply unaffordable in terms of mass density!

If such a material were used to make an engine, even if the engine was only ten meters in size, its mass would exceed the mass of a dwarf planet with a diameter of one thousand kilometers! To build a reasonable spaceship with such a huge mass of engines, at least three are needed!

To be precise, this kind of warp engine itself uses powerful degenerate materials to distort part of space, and then finds a relatively stable "space depression" point in this distorted space, and then continuously intensifies and extends this depression point. , and finally connect and merge with the distant space! The spacecraft takes this opportunity to move in space. Throughout the process, the spacecraft will be wrapped in a "space bubble."

During the movement, according to theoretical calculations, a strong space pressure will be generated, which is similar to the combined force of hundreds of atmospheric pressures and dozens of standard gravity. The most important thing is that this force acts directly from space and cannot be isolated! At least, with current technology, it’s not possible to isolate it!

To isolate this pressure, the only thing that exists in theory is subspace technology; but now humans and the Flame Family, even the warp engines are still in the theoretical exploration stage, let alone subspace technology.

With the current technology of the Central Empire, degenerate materials can be produced, and even shaped warp engines can be produced directly; however, engines, that is, engines, must use energy in order to work. The problem now is: all the theories have been perfected, and the first experimentally produced engine has been developed; however, all research is stuck by the "energy" problem!

Neither the existing energy of humans nor the energy of the Lieyan family can drive this little "monster"! This engine, which is only ten meters in size, floats quietly in space; but because its mass is so large and its diameter is so small, standing on the surface of this engine actually produces 1.3 times the Earth's standard gravity! An object with a diameter of ten meters can produce such a huge gravity, which somewhat challenges ordinary people's thinking.

"There is another technique!" There was really no other way. Lieyan Ming Ronghui had to take a risk.

"Huh? Do you still have the skills to press the bottom of the box?" Zhang Jingyuan's eyes flashed coldly. Everyone can understand why he didn't take it out at first; but now he's hiding it, which has made Boss Zhang angry. Do you know you're playing with fire? You are kidding a great being!

"No," Zhang Jingyuan looked over at a glance. At that moment Lieyan Ming Ronghui felt that the world was collapsing and his soul was trembling. "Mr. Zhang, please listen to me." As he said this, cold sweat poured down his face. "We do have another technology, but the explosion of this technology cannot be controlled and can only be used as a weapon. It is the top energy cannon technology. But this technology cannot be controlled so far because it is too violent.

This technology is energy crystallization technology, also called energy crystallization technology. ”

At this moment, Lieyan Ming Ronghui looked at one thing and another, and felt that even his bones were trembling. This great ancestor who lived for more than six hundred years and single-handedly shaped the future of mankind on earth made the Lieyan family tremble.

Gradually, as the explanation continued, all the scientists looked serious. In theory, this energy crystallization technology should be able to meet the needs of warp engines; but this technology is also very dangerous! As an analogy, the energy of a nuclear bomb must be compressed into a button battery. This is the manifestation of energy crystallization technology. One can imagine the risks involved under such compression.

Nowadays, the Lieyan Family, as well as the entire Pearl Star Territory, have the most mature knowledge of advanced energy cannons. However, the top energy cannons, weapons that utilize energy crystallization technology, are kept secret. This thing is so violent that it may be blown up before it is launched.

Think about it, compressing such a huge amount of energy requires not only pressure, but also extreme high temperature, excessive radiation, etc. Solving such a problem will not happen overnight - the Lieyan family has been studying it for hundreds of years, and space flight has taken another two hundred years, but it still cannot be solved.

"We were afraid of the danger, so we didn't dare to take it out right away. This thing, if there was a mistake in research, could blow up the planet. And such accidents have happened many times in the Pearl Star Field, and each time it was a shocking tragedy; billions Buried with others." Lieyan Ming Ronghui turned pale in the end. This was not only due to Zhang Jingyuan's pressure, but also from the memories of those tragic situations.

Zhang Jingyuan did not speak at this moment, but was thinking quietly. The combination of technology and spiritual practice is not only about developing civilization itself; in Zhang Jingyuan's view, it is also about opening up a new path to transcendence! Past practice has proven that cultivating the way of heaven and earth will never transcend heaven and earth! Because you have been following heaven and earth. Therefore, in this life, Zhang Jingyuan decided to find another way, especially when the earth already had technology.

Knowledge, starting from scratch is not an easy path. There are bottlenecks one after another in the development of science and technology; this is true even in the Pearl Star Region. In the past, it was solved by relying on scientists and geniuses; but now, the development of science and technology has been stagnant for hundreds of years. However, now we finally see another hope. Energy crystallization technology allowed Zhang Jingyuan to see another form of energy storage: immortal stone! The representative of wealth in this ancient world! I wonder if energy crystallization technology can eventually produce immortal stones? (To be continued...)
