Half-immortal civilization

Back at his residence, Yang Qinyun was also constantly paying attention to the dynamics of the empire while starting his business.When people loudly declared to the universe, the empire did not stop its development.

Every day, you can see flying saucers dangling like jellyfish swarms, busy going back and forth between the ground and space.They transport a large number of items on the ground to the sky, but they also continuously transport some high-standard items back from space to support the construction on the ground.The Empire is already planning the next batch of ten city plans.According to transparent information on the Internet, in three Venus years, the population of the empire may be close to 10 billion, and after ten Venus years, the population may reach a terrifying 30 billion.

Of course, according to the current situation of Venus, the planet's healthy population bearing factor is within 50 billion; after 30 billion, if the empire is not capable of interstellar expansion, then the empire will enter the stage of family planning.But now, it is impossible.

At the same time, in space, Chen Feng was conducting a final check on all the equipment; next to him, Zhang Wenliang led a new generation of leadership team to observe.

After so many years of development, the Star Cannon technology has improved again.Under the condition that the conversion time between electric energy and magnetic field cannot be further shortened, scientists use reasonable calculations to activate the conversion device in advance to ensure that when the projectile reaches a certain place, the magnetic field here has already been activated, and the generated force just arrives.In addition, in order to increase the strength and explosive force of the magnetic field, scientists have adopted a parallel sub-rail design after researching key problems.Outside the main rail, add a magnetic field amplifier.This makes this starry sky cannon even more surreal.

It was fine at first.It's the original design.But wait until one-third of the length, the first pair of auxiliary guide rails appeared - in order to balance the force, they are all in groups of two, and extend directly to the end.At one-half of the position, a pair of booster rails appeared again, and then one was added almost every thousand kilometers.And at the exit position, a circle is installed!
This modification makes the star cannon look like an oversized metal storm gun at the end.Except for the main rail in the middle, there are 50 pairs of rails around it!The outer diameter is as high as one kilometer!

Such a complex device is enough to accelerate a 200-kg object to 0.15 times the speed of light!Of course, such a super monster.The cost was as high as one-tenth of the total value of the empire!Say nothing else.It is very difficult to assemble a 0.1-kilometer unbent and flawless monster; considering the space distortion near the planet, the so-called instrument detection is useless—when the speed reaches [-] times the speed of light, it cannot be ignored The effect of distorting space.therefore.This [-]-kilometer-long rail.All are top-notch workers groping and testing with their hands!A thousand top-notch workers.After completing this work, he was directly awarded the status of a first-class baron by the empire.

Also, some specific components for magnetic energy conversion.Machining cannot achieve the required precision, and all of them require manual post-testing and correction.In fact, since human beings entered the technological age, the most advanced machinery still needs to be created with both hands!The representative aircraft carrier at the peak of the military at that time needed to use both hands to control the assembly, and some core components on the satellite also needed to be inspected with both hands.And it still is!

The reason for this is, above all, creativity!Human beings have creativity that machines can never have!

Machinery can only detect and compare based on given data.But people can constantly adjust the detection results according to the actual situation, and even directly judge the problem in a certain part and correct it.

In space, in the glass cabin of the clairvoyant space factory, almost all the nobles and officials of the younger generation of the empire gathered, as well as the scientific researchers and top workers who led the construction of the star cannon. Everyone is conducting the final system test.This kind of inspection has been done many times, but this time is different, because this time it will use physical inspection.The real thing is an iron lump weighing 200 kilograms!And to do multiple checks.

On the side, a cosmic probe like a work of art is ready to go.Such a cosmic probe also almost concentrated the empire's top science and technology and production and processing technology.In such a space probe, [-]% of the core components are processed by hands; the final assembly is all adjusted by hand!No machine can complete the assembly of such a complex and sophisticated machine.This is not only the pinnacle product of technology, but also the pinnacle product of art!
"Squeak..." The door opened, and the older generation led by Zhang Jingyuan arrived.It's just that among the so-called older generation, nearly half of them have "young" faces.Zhang Jingyuan and the parents of the seventh brothers also arrived.

"It's such a grand occasion, how can you not watch it! Go on, don't worry about us." Zhang Jingyuan led others to stand in the corner.In space, scientists are always the first, and emperors have to stand aside!Without these scientists, the Empire would not be where it is today.The empire's respect for scientific researchers is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Chen Feng and the others couldn't leave their seats at all, and they didn't even have time to turn their heads.But Zhang Jingyuan is not a faint king, of course he knows the situation.

"After the starry sky cannon is successfully launched, everyone will at least give him the status of a third-class baron." Zhang Jingyuan said lightly, but no one objected.The star cannon doesn't look very complicated, but it is such a thing, and it gathers almost one-tenth of the wealth of the empire.Simplicity does not mean simplicity!To be precise, the more concise it is, the higher the technology required!The seemingly fingernail-sized cpu actually integrates hundreds of millions of transistors inside!Similarly, the starry sky cannon, which looks simple, actually does not know how many parts it contains. It is estimated that the construction personnel cannot tell.

"Didi, everything is ready!" In the command room, the voice of the on-site inspector came.

"Fill!" Chen Feng ordered calmly.

The huge mechanical arm waved, and a bullet-shaped iron lump was placed in the center of the guide rail.

"Get ready! Countdown to 30 minutes..." The loud voice resounded through the control room and into the universe.Everyone gets nervous.Even Zhang Jingyuan is no exception!

This seems to be a signal.Although it is just a simple experiment, it represents a new beginning of human civilization!
From today, human beings will enter a new era: the era of starry sky!
Hastily passing through the space age and the space age, human beings are finally about to enter a magnificent era: the star age!The solar system can no longer block the eyes of human beings!
In the silent space, the star cannon spreads out a hundred thousand pairs of huge wings, which are fan-shaped photovoltaic cells with a length of one kilometer and a width of one hundred meters. They will provide powerful power for the guide rails!

The plasma engine installed on the starry sky cannon changed its job and adjusted the position of the muzzle.Even the experimental projectile is a big killer, 0.15 light speed, enough to penetrate the earth.This thing is definitely the most powerful guarantee of the empire!none of them.

"Squeak..." A huge noise sounded in the space factory of the Clairvoyance, but the scientists sat firmly.

I saw huge slightly sunken mirrors spread out, and the mirrors made of new materials have a reflectivity close to 100%.There are huge mirrors, the smallest one has a diameter of a hundred meters, and the largest one has a diameter of a thousand meters!

Of course Zhang Jingyuan and others knew the function of these mirrors.But except for the scientists who were busy, all the people were still nervously holding the armrests of the chairs, their hands with blue veins.This is a moment that cannot be expressed in words.Propulsion rockets are no longer sufficient for human needs!Therefore, the empire adopted super rail technology to "launch" the probe.Then, the light pressure drive technology will be used to continuously accelerate the detector... until, until the place where the light cannot reach! ! !
The first iron lump began to accelerate, because it was not at full speed for detection, it was just an ordinary rapid speed. When the speed reached one kilometer per second, all the power was turned off, and the projectile was allowed to "slowly advance", so as to Come check out the rails for the first time.

Under the ultra-high-speed camera, the projectile moves forward little by little, and it is so inconspicuous on the screen that is [-] meters long.

The huge starry sky cannon is so long, covering more than 1 kilometers, and it will take tens of thousands of seconds to travel at a speed of one kilometer per second, about 2 hours and 47 minutes!Moreover, the detection does not end there, this is only the first wave!
All the people were doing it quietly, no one dared to make noise, even if they coughed, they needed to go out carefully.In the control room at this moment, absolute silence must be maintained, and no noise should be allowed to disturb the scientists.

The bystanders are a little bored and nervous; but the scientists who are working are under tremendous pressure.Although Chen Feng didn't go to the scene to operate, but as the commander-in-chief, the pressure he had to bear was even more unimaginable.A surreal product that consumes one-tenth of the wealth of the empire, a symbol that bears the aspirations of the citizens of the empire, a ladder for the progress of human civilization... It symbolizes too many, and it is a list of casual words; and now, The empire gave them to itself!This is Chen Feng's mood now.

Chen Xingping gently patted his son Chen Feng's shoulder beside him, expressing his silent support.

The projectile advances "slowly" in the guide rail, and the guide rail on the display screen turns green every time it travels one meter.Green represents success as well as hope.And now, on this [-]-meter-sized screen, the green is advancing so slowly!At least in Chen Feng's eyes, it is even a little difficult to move forward!

The nails of both hands have sunk into the flesh without knowing it.The dream of nearly ten years is in sight, and no one wants the dream to be shattered!In particular, it is not only the dream of one person, but also the dream of an era, a nation, and an empire!

Didi... Electronic sounds come and go, that is the sound of the instrument working normally!
At this moment, everyone seems to feel that this is the most beautiful but also the most tense music in the world!The electronic sound of disorder plays the hymn of civilization progress. (To be continued..)
