Earth Invasion

Chapter 17 The Wall of Physics and the Business Experience of SCO

This chapter was originally at the back, but I saw that everyone didn't understand it, so I moved it to the front.

————————————————————————————————————————————

The earth, the fourth Lalange day point, the No.30 five provinces of the People's Republic of China "Baiyujing".

After more than a hundred years of construction, China has enough satellites in space to form a provincial administrative region.When the space province was established, it took a lot of effort to name the province.In the end, the first sentence of "Heavenly Baiyujing" in the long poem "After the chaos and separation, Tianenliu Yelang recalls the old travel books and presents Jiangxia Wei Taishou Liangzai" finally won the most votes and became the No. 30 out of five The name of the provincial administrative region.Bai Yujing, the name is not only a city in the sky, but also implies that the sons and daughters of China will officially go to the universe through this gate of heaven.

Among these huge wind-shaped satellites that seem to be rotating slowly and fast, a navy blue battleship is slowly shuttling through them.This ship is not quite the same as the elongated shuttle-type cruisers and destroyers guarding the outer areas of the satellite cluster. It is more like a spear point, or two elongated right-angled triangles, the long right-angled sides are joined together, Behind it is a huge disc, followed by another body shape.If we really talk about the shape, it is more like the Victory-class Star Destroyer in the "Star Wars" movie back then. The difference is that there is no towering bridge, and the rear middle is in the shape of a disc, and there is an obvious slit in the middle.Structurally, it looks more like a trimaran.

Another difference is that this ship is much, much smaller than the thing in the movie that can generate its own gravitational force.

However, in people's eyes, this thing with a length of 2 kilometers and a total mass of more than one million tons is already the most powerful warship in the world.Good people gave it the name "Star Destroyer" without hesitation.Chinese military fans, on the other hand, call these twelve giant ships the ostentatious name of "Mythical Class", while NATO sourly named them the "Monster" class.

Of course, the military's name is only a bare number "Project 111-Battleship".Because when this kind of ship was first built, the two purposes were not to attack warships of other countries.One of these two functions is to use the main cannon as a saw blade in the asteroid belt to cut asteroids, and the second is to intercept meteor showers.After all, the Ata Taurid meteor shower that caused the end of the first space bombing could never happen again.That sudden meteor shower almost completely destroyed the space construction of L1 and L2.

Later, the military also felt that this kind of bare name was not good, so they simply came here to be fashionable. When naming it, they named it after the red and blue giant stars observed in the universe.

On the huge hull of this ship, there are a few large characters sprayed flying and flying around - Rigel!

After sailing for more than ten minutes, the giant ship slowly approached the provincial capital of Bai Yujing, a shiny silver third-generation four-armed wind-shaped satellite - "Zhang Heng".In front of this behemoth with a rotating diameter of 50 kilometers, although it is known as a star destroyer, the volume of "Rigel" is just a small gecko.

A traffic boat left the battleship and flew towards the satellite's port.The battleship joined the two destroyers and began a slow patrol flight around the satellite.

Today's "Zhang Heng" star is very lively. Since the morning, there has been an endless stream of spaceships coming here.Moreover, the ports that are usually free to enter and exit have also been put on warning light belts.Two destroyers came to patrol around the satellite early, and single-seat combat boats continuously separated from the destroyers, and conducted combat patrols around the satellite along a closed circular route.The UFP on the satellite, which served as a security mission, also hung up a long heavy particle cannon, and surrounded the port vigilantly.

After the traffic boat entered the port, it showed a special pass and lightly boarded the trestle in the port.

"Mr. Shen, please slow down." An officer wearing a sky army navy blue uniform and carrying a shining gold star on his shoulder flew out of the transport boat.Then he held the hatch with his hand, waiting for an old man behind to float out slowly.

"Oh, old man..." An old man with silver hair and wearing a black tunic came down from the traffic boat.He collected himself, as if space travel had made him dizzy.

"You are still in good health." The officer supported the old man from the side, and walked towards the interior of the satellite with the conveyor belt.

"I'm already past the age of war, and I'm still not old? You kid always make fun of me. This is probably the last time I will attend this physics conference. Next time, I guess I won't be able to go to space." The old man Surnamed Shen, he is an expert at the China Institute of Space Applied Physics.And in Zhang Hengxing, the quadrennial astrophysical conference is being held.

"How can it be, next time we will send you over with a battleship, which is much safer than those passenger ships." The officer said with a smile.

"Boy Ga, you want me to make a mistake." The old man laughed loudly, "Jianzhang, you are going to the Flora Star Clan in the asteroid belt this time, don't forget what I entrusted to you First, get the measurements of the Judiciary Star Clan up, and then the Star Fragmentation operation won’t be in a hurry.”

"Well, I made a note of it. The security mission of this annual meeting itself is incidental. After the meeting in the afternoon, Rigel will be docked for ejection preparations. It is estimated that it will be able to fly to the asteroid belt in two days. .After I finish my routine patrol, I will go to Judicial Clan to take preliminary measurements."

"Well, I don't worry about your business. Well, don't accompany me, an old man. Don't you still have a show, go quickly."

After seeing off the old man, the officer called Jianzhang by the old man adjusted his military uniform and flew towards Zhang Heng's live broadcast room.

His surname is Ji, and his full name is Ji Jianzhang. He is the captain of the SCO solar system navigation fleet, the 111-class battleship "Ritelex".This time, Zhang Heng's security mission is purely a temporary arrangement or a passing arrangement, because his main task is to build the super space accelerator "Kuafu" nearby.Using this accelerator, his battleship can fly to the asteroid belt for a cruise mission in more than a week.He will then spend a year in the rotation there.

During the period when the battleship was preparing for acceleration, the Sky Army assigned him a task to accept media interviews or go directly to a program.Properly explain to the people who are always clamoring to enter the Assyrian planet why the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is indifferent to that planet [-] light-years away.

To be honest, Ji Jianzhang hates this task.I always feel like an idiot in front of the camera.His political commissar once made fun of him because of this, saying that he didn't feel like a fool, but that he was afraid that his white and crown-like appearance would ruin the image of Tianjun as a tough guy.

"How do you say... a fake mother?" Li Tiesheng, his political commissar, said.

Wrap the gum in your mouth in tinfoil and stuff it into the trash can next to you.He flew to the elevator a little bored.Outside the huge French windows behind him, two single-seater combat boats were pulling long wakes and passing by like shooting stars.

He was annoyed, and on the two single-seater combat boats outside, the two pilots were also chatting.Since the battleship was floating nearby, the patrols of these single-seat combat boats were basically routine.It is to let the battleship fly by itself according to the set route.The two guys chatted a little idly.

"Dong Er, do you think there is a reason for this meeting?"

"Dongyao, I think Xuan, there hasn't been any exciting news in the physics conference for many years. It's almost three digits, ah, no, it's not that long, but it has been in 50 to [-] years. There are a lot of them. The conjecture. Or it is the various explanations for the wormhole, and none of them can be explained."

"Yeah, it's been so long, and it's still the same. Look at the development of science in the 21st century. Now, for four hundred years, we are still perfecting the ideas we put forward at that time. We are still spinning in the solar system Turn. What kind of curvature engine, hyperspace jump, entropy energy reversal, there is no shadow at all. I said we have hit the wall of physics, right?"

"We hit the wall of physics." The same words were said in the old Shen's mouth.At the conference, he made a very indecent act of dozing off while listening to a scientist explaining his conjecture.When the meeting was adjourned, the minister of science and technology who also attended the meeting took the old man outside to exercise.During the event, the old man said this to the Minister of Science and Technology.

"No way." The Minister of Science and Technology said with a smile, "Grandpa, are you a little pessimistic? I think everyone's speeches and topics are very good."

"Oh, it's all conjectures, no conclusions!" The old man waved his hand, "It's been a hundred years, all kinds of conjectures, all kinds of paradoxes. The result? None of the practical problems have been solved. Just take the wormhole. Let’s talk about one of the most important features. When passing through the wormhole, the speed of the object is deprived. But when returning from the other end of the wormhole, the speed will be returned little by little. The potential energy proposed at the beginning is not bad enough. Close. Think that the Andromeda galaxy is in a high potential energy zone, and our wormhole is in a low potential energy zone, and then it is like a pumped storage power station. When returning from there, the speed will be returned. But, this The statement was completely overturned by an experiment a few years ago. Because according to this statement, the spaceship launched by Assyria will have a high speed after passing through the wormhole, because of the potential energy. However, a few years ago in A catapult was used to launch an iron ball over there, and after passing through the wormhole, it stopped there, and it is still standing there, waiting for some unlucky guy to hit it head-on.”

"So, what if which wormhole itself is a high potential energy region?"

"How is it possible? If the wormhole itself is a high potential energy region, then it will have a high speed when it comes out of it, and it will not be static. Well, in the final analysis, there are too few input conditions. These years , we observe and observe, and only get a phenomenon that time will be lost when traveling through a wormhole, but this lost time does not match the mass equation, so what do you think about it.”

The Minister of Science and Technology walked slowly beside. The meeting place was in the residential area at the bottom of the satellite. The gravity simulated by the inertial centrifugal force made people feel that they were still on the earth.He nodded silently, agreeing with what the old man said.

"The failures of these years have probably given me a revelation: there is something wrong with our observation methods. Since entering quantum physics, the usual observation methods have all failed. All conclusions are to put forward hypotheses, and then set up paradoxes for analysis But is this method right? We always use Occam’s razor to comfort ourselves. What we can’t perceive doesn’t exist, and it’s useless to us. Let me say, shave and shave. The blind man felt the elephant. The one who grabbed the trunk said it was a long one, the one who touched the legs said it was a pillar, and the one who hit the body said it was a wall. But an elephant is an elephant, how can an elephant live with only one stomach.”

"This observation method problem will be solved one day. Mr. Shen, don't be too pessimistic." The Minister of Science and Technology saw that the old man was a little excited.

"It's easier said than done. How about the bold experiment we did a few years ago? It wasn't a disgraceful failure, and we even got a volunteer. Now that I think about it, I regret it. I'm sorry for that young man, I'm sorry for others..."

Ji Jianzhang was floating in the port area. The half-day live broadcast made him dizzy because he had to explain the same problem over and over again.

Why not invest in Assyria, why not emigrate, why not...

For a series of reasons, Ji Jianzhang, in addition to answering with the words that the wormhole does not understand, also needs to explain from various reasons such as economics and politics, which should not be said by him at all.

In fact, in the final analysis, there are still a small number of people who run to the Assyrian star, or in other words, on the Assyrian star, in the eyes of a country of China's size, it is just a "small business" or "a small number of people's business." . Everyone can use the "Kuafu" accelerator, but this does not mean that China has no ledger.In the statistical data of these years, the central government is increasingly looking down on these things.

From a statistical point of view, there are currently two types of businesses that are currently the largest and most common from Assyria.The first is silver and other heavy metal deposits.Needless to say, the silver deposits on Assyria are unbelievably large, almost equal to the copper reserves on Earth.In the space age, with the maturity of superconducting technology, the application of silver in electric energy is the biggest one.Regarding this area, the mining sector has established several large silver mines, as well as many small pilot heavy metal mines.But the problem is that these two minerals are not only found on Assyria, but also in the deep sea and asteroid belt of the earth.In order not to cause an ecological disaster on the earth, the large-scale deep-sea mining industry has been put on hold, but asteroid mining has never been idle.In contrast, although the output and grade over there are very high, the time to throw a standard container 6000 light-years away is still too long, and the competitiveness is not much higher than that of the asteroid belt.Moreover, the total amount of projection of "Kuafu" is certain.Throwing containers over there will reduce other businesses. In comparison, the idea of ​​increasing the number of containers projected to Assyria will have to wait until the second phase of Kuafu's project is completed.

The other business is the timber business, which is different from the earth trees that have been replaced several times and have been genetically modified many times.Assyria has a lot of good wood that grows naturally, and luxury furniture such as alien mahogany and Assyrian red sandalwood often fetch high prices.China has now entered the middle stage of socialism, and necessities are already provided for free.Although there is still currency in circulation, it is only used to purchase luxury goods and services.The demand for wood is not small, but it is a luxury after all. According to the purchasing power of Chinese people, it is really necessary to open it up. In a few years, genetically modified trees will also be planted on that planet.

And the population business has nothing to do with the people of the country.

This is import. If it is export, the technological gap between the two sides is too great. Basically, except for some basic materials, there is nothing to export.But it's too wasteful to throw steel bars so far away.Adding and subtracting, it seems that tourism and timber business can be done.For the rest, let's talk about it later.

As for the matter of immigration, the National Tourism Administration has even calculated an account, and now the number of tourist groups sent to Assyria is only a few thousand per year.This kind of trip on a spaceship for two or three months, except for those who are really idle, will not go.To carry out large-scale immigration, according to the projection ability of "Kuafu", without affecting other industrial processes, it will take almost 1000 years for the immigration of 20 million people.And this is just human beings. If we include these 1000 million people who maintain the living standards of the 25th century and gradually establish industries with a level of technology no less than here, it may take half a century.This is really unbearable, after all, this is not the era when the sun has a helium flash and the earth is about to flee.

Someone actually put forward a very bold idea: push out a third-generation satellite city, and fly directly to the wormhole area in ten years through uninterrupted acceleration.Then cross the wormhole and arrange it on the gravitational balance point of the Assyrian planet, and then launch satellite cities one after another to gradually establish the space industry there, so that the development from top to bottom will save a lot of time.

However, the residents of the satellite cities running towards the wormhole think of eating glucose polymers and seaweed powder for ten years... let's talk about the weather.
