The exploration continued for more than two months. In this dangerous environment, more than 400,000 unmanned spacecraft were finally used, and as many as 350,000 were used. Fortunately, the movement patterns of the neutron star and so on were almost completed, and everyone was finally ready. return.
The significance of exploring neutron stars is to understand the operating rules of the universe and imitate them! At that time, the insight into the operating rules of stars had an immeasurable impact on human exploration of nuclear energy; in fact, it can be said that until now, humans still rely on stars to live. Without stars, just energy would be enough to regress the current scientific and technological society. millennium!
As an empire that has lasted for thousands of years, of course it will not do useless work. Just out of curiosity, I ran 1,500 light years, took a few photos, and finally rolled away...
Of course, as for establishing a settlement outside the nebula, it is also to better explore the nebula. As the cemetery of old stars and the cradle of new stars, the nebula is a place that humans must explore no matter what.
"Withdraw!" Zhong Xinghui yelled, his tone full of excitement and pride. He was happy to be able to personally command a huge expedition team to explore the birth of a neutron star. Of course, he was also happy to get first-hand information. It proves personal value and makes its own contribution to the development of society, nation and country.
Sometimes, for these scholars, their satisfaction is also very easy, that is, being able to make their own voices heard in their own fields - is this called easy?
"Leave!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, even the bold ones, who had stayed in this environment for almost a year. In addition, it takes more than three years to go back and forth, and I am already physically and mentally exhausted; especially this is not just a general exploration of the universe. The nebula is already dangerous enough, and now it is also in front of a neutron star to observe the birth of a neutron star... To be honest , If China hadn’t taken the lead this time, no one might have come!
Of course, having said that, if it weren't for China Exploration, no one would have such an idea, and of course there would be no such opportunity.
On the way back. The soldiers relaxed a lot. We started talking and laughing, and started to feel in the mood to observe the internal scenery of the neutron star. Finally, we no longer had to tense up.
Speaking of which, the interior of this neutron star is actually very beautiful. To be precise, it is the space between the energy tide of the exploded star and the neutron star. very beautiful. The rays themselves are diverse. Coupled with the nebulae formed by various particles here, the surroundings look beautiful. It's like the atmosphere is illuminated by trillions of lasers of different intensity and color. Can be in the dark background of the universe. It's rare to find such a bright space.
If the universe is like a dark night without stars and moonlight, then the world of nebulae is like the evening when the afterglow is about to dissipate - but there is still some light; and the space where neutron stars are born is like the most brilliant sunset moment .
In the distance, a dark red curtain wall of heaven and earth hangs in space, with no horizon visible; it is an energy shock wave. It's just that the current energy shock wave has almost stopped spreading, and is slowly dissipating. Perhaps, if this neutron star can be born, this stellar-level "egg" will also reach the end of its life.
In the time of great destruction, there is a different kind of vitality; the destruction of stars is often the beginning of another kind of life!
At this time, Zhong Xinghui was discussing the results of this time with friends, assistants, etc.
"I think this is what I think!" Zhong Xinghui stood up and danced on the virtual light screen, sketching his thoughts. "First of all, it is the extraction of energy. Before, we mainly obtained energy from But everyone has also seen that the nuclear energy produced by humans cannot be compared with stars, and a star collar technology can allow us to obtain countless energy.
But as scholars, we must have a foresight that is unimaginable for ordinary people. If, I mean if, one day the energy of the stars is not enough, or our energy channels are cut off and there is no logistics to support enough energy, then how do we obtain energy?
What's more, at the moment of real battle, the fixed and immovable stellar collar will be the key to the enemy's first attack! So, how do we obtain enough energy without external energy support? ”
Tang Wenying nodded, "Although it sounds a little horrifying and threatening, thinking about the worst-case scenario is indeed one of the directions of scientific research.
If we really encounter the situation you mentioned, then we can only sit back and wait. The stored energy will eventually be used up one day! ”
"Yes!" Zhong Xinghui nodded, "This is also one of our goals in exploring the nebula world this time. And I now have an idea, that is, just like we imitated stars in the past, we must imitate the energy generation and generation of neutron stars. The rules of operation. Moreover, I already have this idea.
As we all know, there is an interaction between space and matter itself, and its external manifestation is gravity.
So, can we directly apply enough gravity to the space to distort the space, and then form a huge pressure that acts on a certain material? Let this material collapse inward on its own like a neutron star. Then during the collapse process, ordinary materials and substances will gradually shrink, and then squeeze out all their electrons, protons, neutrons, and even energy, radiation, etc., just like squeezing out oil!
In this way, as long as we have such technology, we no longer have to worry about insufficient energy! By then, even domestic waste, poured into such a space, will produce enough energy; there will even be by-products, which are degenerate materials! ”
This... everyone was frightened by this crazy idea... However, let alone, if there was such an idea in the past, people would definitely sneer at it, and there was no possibility of it being realized; but now it is different, human beings The rapid development of small space technology provides the possibility for this idea.
In addition to this, there is another objective reason. As mentioned earlier, although the stellar collar is powerful, it itself is immovable and very fragile! Once a war breaks out, the enemy will inevitably destroy the stellar collar as soon as possible!
It would take several years to build a stellar collar, and would even require two Earth-sized planets to smelt the materials. All this work seems simple, but in actual operation, it is very difficult. If nothing else, just a suitable engineering team cannot be built in one or two years. It requires decades of training and training. Running in, a large amount of basic construction equipment is another huge investment! But the destruction is very simple. One shot of blue energy cannon is enough to completely scrap the project that has been built for several years.
Just like the ground war back then, the power generation projects of both sides were attacked immediately after the war started! Then, a portable, unlimited energy production method is very necessary!
Especially this neutron star can even produce energy and powerful offensive force at the same time... This really makes scientists excited! Therefore, under such circumstances, everyone launched a lively discussion.
Time passed day by day, everyone was eager to return home, and the spacecraft continued to accelerate, and was about to reach the conditions for warp speed flight.
However, at this moment, the distant exploration spacecraft that had circled to the other side of the neutron star actually sent back a message that it had detected a spacecraft of another civilization!
What? ! After exploring a neutron star, we encountered another civilization? Everyone carefully analyzed the images sent back. Yes, this is a newly designed spaceship, and it is a spaceship with a very different style! Is it another civilization?
This... for a moment, everyone felt a little incredible. But then things started to get tense. In space, civilizations alternated between civilizations, almost always starting with war! This was the case with China and the Lieyang Empire back then; and it was also the case with the Pearl Star Territory and the Abyssal People later! Although there are only two examples, these are not examples; on the other hand, there are no examples that can prove that strange civilizations are peaceful the first time they meet!
"Professor Zhong, you and other scientists and scholars, please retreat immediately! Immediately!
Rest, all hands on deck!
Lu Yu, you are responsible for sending all the scientists away. Remember, your mission is critical. These scientists and scholars have already obtained first-hand information and even have basic ideas. They are the greatest wealth now. I don't care what method you use, even if it's suicide, you still have to send these precious lumps back! Understand! ”
"Yes!"
"Very good!" Mu Dekun nodded seriously, "Wan Yunfei, prepare to fight. You choose your team first. Remember to give me the remaining soldiers who prefer battle formations and unmanned spaceships. At least give them to me. Leave ten thousand!”
"Received!"
For a moment, nervousness began to envelope the joint expedition team. All the experts, scholars, etc. were gathered immediately, and then escorted by one-third of the army, they left immediately.
The remaining armies, whether from China or other countries, no longer have any intrigues at this moment, but are preparing for war with all their strength.
It was only at this time that everyone was in the mood to look at the spaceships on the opposite side. It was obvious that these were some fleets that had just crossed the energy tide after the star exploded; and the location where this fleet appeared happened to be the location of an unmanned spacecraft. Therefore, both sides discovered each other's existence.
This fleet has a total of 12 spaceships, the largest is about 15 kilometers long, and the smallest is only about 3 kilometers long; but their shapes are a bit strange, like... like icebergs!
Yes, their shapes, colors, etc., at first glance, look like icebergs! (To be continued...)
ps: Everyone, have a great weekend. Also, I want to say, do you have tickets? Let me have a good time too, haha
