Chapter 371 Warp Engine

After Zhu Lei came back, he did not just sleep in the gentle village. On the third day after returning home, he plunged into his laboratory to study the warp drive, the most important means of long-distance navigation in space. In fact, the Ming Empire researched the warp drive as early as The Ming Empire has just entered the space age and it has already begun, because whether it is Zhu Lei, the high-level officials of the Ming Empire or scientists are very clear about the importance of the warp drive.

Although the Ming Empire has conquered the Ka civilization more than ten light years away, the distance of more than ten light years is only an insignificant distance for the entire Milky Way or the universe, but it is not out of reach for the current Ming Empire. But a back and forth at least half a century.

This is still the speed of the most advanced spacecraft of the Ming Empire. If it is an ordinary civilian spacecraft, it will not be able to run back and forth even in half a century.

Half a century to go back and forth, even the people of the Ming Empire now have a long lifespan and can't afford it.

Although the Ming Empire has been in Zhu Lei's expedition to the Kara civilization for more than half a century, the development of the Ming Empire has been much slower than before. After all, with the development of civilization, the difficulty of every technological breakthrough The higher it was, the Ming Empire began to slowly settle down.

But there are some technologies that the Ming Empire has to concentrate on striving for breakthroughs in a short period of time, and the access engine technology is one of them.

The Ming Empire seems to have reached the galaxy where the Kara civilization is located in a short period of time. Now there are two methods that are most likely to be realized. One is to use technology to achieve it, and the other is to use the method of practice. The method of using technology is to develop warp speed The engine, and the method of using cultivation is that in a short period of time, some human beings break through the cultivation base of the earth immortal, and use the interstellar teleportation array to achieve it.

However, the method of using cultivation seems to be far away now. After all, the highest cultivation level in the entire Ming Empire is only in the Nascent Soul stage, and it is only in the early stage, so it is impossible to break through the cultivation base of the Earth Immortal in a short period of time. What's more, breaking through the Earth Immortal is not so easy and you have to go through the catastrophe, so without the accumulation of tens of thousands of years, it is impossible for human beings to break through the Earth's core.

What's more, even if someone in the Ming Empire breaks through the Earth Immortal, being able to deploy an interstellar teleportation array is a drop in the bucket for the Ming Empire. After all, the interstellar teleportation array deployed by the cultivation method has great limitations, and it is not practical for the Ming Empire. .

Because of the interstellar teleportation array arranged by the practice means, the minimum cultivation level required by the teleportation personnel must be above the Nascent Soul Stage, because people whose cultivation base is below the Nascent Soul Stage cannot withstand the pressure generated during interstellar teleportation.

What's more, the interstellar teleportation array can only transfer a few people at a time, and the largest interstellar teleportation array can only transfer more than ten people at a time, and the construction of an interstellar teleportation array with the current strength of human beings, even the materials used by the interstellar teleportation array The Ming Empire couldn't get it all together either.

Therefore, the warp speed engine became the first choice of the Ming Empire. The warp speed engine is also called the curvature engine. It is a super-light propulsion system, so it is also called the outer super-light speed engine.

The warp speed engine is actually nothing new. Human beings have proposed the concept of the warp speed engine as early as the earth age.

The warp drive uses the distortion and jumping of time and space to fly faster than the speed of light, and Zhu Lei learned in the mall that the warp drive is the most commonly used means of navigation for most interstellar civilizations, and the warp drive is also a must for the intermediate stages of intermediate civilizations. Possessed engine technology.

Therefore, if the Ming Empire wants to successfully advance to the intermediate-level civilization, it must also develop the warp speed engine technology. Otherwise, no matter how advanced other technologies are, it will not be able to become an intermediate-level civilization, or a fifth-level civilization in the Milky Way.

The method of warp speed navigation was conceived by people as early as the earth period. Although it was impossible to realize it with the technology of human beings at that time, it was provided by the current Ming Empire with a valuable method.

This method is to use a strong magnetic field to form a strong force field to propel the aircraft to fly in space at high speed. If the magnetic field is strong enough, the spacecraft will enter a higher-dimensional space and fly at a speed exceeding the speed of light. When the magnetic field of the spacecraft When it disappears, the spaceship will enter normal space.

Although it is very simple to say, it is very difficult to achieve a warp speed flyer, but Zhu Lei has to admire the people of the earth age. You must know that the technology at that time is far from the present, but it is so In primitive times, people also proposed the concept of warp speed navigation.

After Zhu Lei got acquainted with the mall, he found that the concept of warp speed navigation proposed during the human earth period is very correct, but to develop a warp speed engine requires materials, energy and methods.

The development of materials is the strength of the Ming Empire, so even if the materials for warp speed navigation are difficult, there is no difficulty with the current strength of the Ming Empire.

In terms of energy, the Ming Empire also has controllable nuclear fusion technology. After all, the warp drive uses a strong magnetic field to form a strong force field to resonate with space, allowing the spacecraft to enter a higher-dimensional space, so the required energy It is very powerful, ordinary energy cannot provide such a powerful energy, and the most powerful energy of the Ming Empire is the controllable nuclear fusion technology.

Although the Ming Empire has already met the conditions in terms of materials and energy, and in terms of methods, the predecessors have already found the direction for the Ming Empire, but the Ming Empire has been working hard to develop warp drive technology since it entered space. It has been nearly 100 years since the Empire entered space, but it has yet to develop a full-fledged warp drive.

But in fact, compared with other cosmic civilizations, the Ming Empire already has a great advantage in the development of warp speed engines. It has only been more than 100 years since it entered the universe, and there is not enough precipitation in this area. As long as it continues to develop along its current path, the Ming Empire will definitely develop the warp speed engine technology in a few hundred years.

After all, it has been less than 100 years since the Ming Empire entered space. You must know which civilization researched the warp drive after tens of thousands of years. It is absolutely impossible to develop a warp drive in a short period of time. No matter how high the development potential of human beings is, the technical difficulty lies there, and it is impossible to make a breakthrough in a short period of time.

Therefore, Zhu Lei had to enter the laboratory to study the Qufu engine in order for the spaceship of the Ming Empire to achieve warp speed as soon as possible. Before entering the laboratory, he spent all his wealth in the mall to buy and Daming The empire is now developing warp speed engine technology with a similar level of technology. After all, if the technology is too different, the Ming Empire will not be able to manufacture it.
