Black technology: starting with space jump machine

[miserable]

I really want to engrave this word on the triangular spaceship.

He just went on a long trip and lost contact with civilization when he came back. He deserves this word.

However, the triangular spaceship obviously did not give up. It changed several means and transformed several methods, and stayed in this place to try to find clues.

The airport here is one of the most secret bases of the Ring Clan civilization. I don’t know if it’s because primitive animals know the principle of cunning rabbits having three burrows. Even if they develop into advanced civilizations, they remember to leave fire for civilization.

According to the triangular spaceship, this airport has existed for more than five million years. It has a complete technological tree of civilization, a complete industrial chain and material reserves. Even if the civilization bases in other galaxies in the universe are destroyed, the Ring Clan can rely on it to recover quickly.

But it disappeared silently without leaving any traces of resistance.

If the Ring Clan civilization still exists, this incident will definitely be ranked as a major event in the history of civilization. And the most important thing for the triangular spaceship now should not be to get in touch with civilization first and send this series of information back?

But now it has a completely different attitude from the one that was anxious to leave the transfer station. Looking at the large number of devices that are continuously deployed from the spacecraft, it seems that it wants to conduct a long search here.

"There is obviously something wrong with the Ring Clan civilization, and the triangular spacecraft has also realized something, so it deliberately stayed here to confirm a certain situation."

"But the time he confirmed the situation may be just a moment for advanced civilized creatures without life limits, but for us it may have been a hundred years."

The experts who have been paying attention to the situation have raised concerns at the right time. In their opinion, this is not an event that can be solved quickly. Although there are mission points to earn, who knows how long it will take! ?

This does not seem to be a project that earns points quickly like before!

Between the lines, it only reveals the idea of ​​running away.

However, returning to the folding space is really idle now, and the energy supply has not been repaired. It is not a bad idea to wait here for a while.

Once Lu Yu made his judgment, no one said anything.

A special discussion group on the Ring Clan was immediately established, allowing No. 7 to establish contact with the triangular spacecraft at high frequency to obtain more information about the history of the Ring Clan civilization and establish a simple civilization model.

Although the model of advanced civilization is still under speculation, if we observe it from the perspective of humans and combine it with the examples of thousands of civilizations, we may be able to draw some conclusions.

"It has a similar origin to the 997th race in the cosmic sociology database. Their ancestors are all mammalian egg-laying intelligent life."

"The origin of the Ring Clan is 97% similar to the 1882th race in the database. They are all on planets with very few lands, and they are all in binary star systems."

".……."

These results may be insignificant, but they provide a very rare example and model for humans to deduce biological evolution.

The triangular spacecraft in front of us maintained contact with the Silver Star while using all available methods to try to find traces and messages that may have been left before and after the disappearance of the airport.

In this cosmic void where the light has become ethereal, the two spacecraft seemed to be immersed in the deepest darkness.

………….

Lu Yu did not intend to fleece the Ring Clan. Although there seemed to be only one option left for the system task in front of him, he was not in a hurry to choose.

In the living area, you should eat and drink as usual.

After nearly a month in the cosmic void, the triangular spacecraft still did not achieve any results, but there was good news from the Blue Star.

At present, there are two scientific and technological problems that need to be broken through in the forward base. One is the antimatter utilization technology, and the other is the light speed navigation technology.

These two technologies complement each other. Antimatter utilization technology is the cornerstone of light speed navigation technology. Otherwise, if you want to accelerate the spacecraft to sub-light speed or to a state close to the speed of light, the energy required is frightening. If it is powered by nuclear fusion, it means that the energy fuel reserves alone will be tens of billions of tons to complete an interstellar voyage.

Because of the size limit of the spacecraft, in civilizations that have not mastered space technology, most of the space inside the spacecraft hull is indeed used to load nuclear fusion fuel, that is, deuterium or helium 3, this kind of important nuclear fusion raw materials.

Previously, the Dyson sphere civilization used this method to achieve the light speed route between the stars, which consumed a lot. They also collected a lot of resources from other star systems, which supported a cosmic wonder like a Dyson sphere.

But if we can develop an antimatter engine, everything will be different!

Antimatter generates energy more efficiently than nuclear fusion, and of course the technology required is also higher.

But after the energy is abundant, there are definitely a lot of things that can be done on the spacecraft. Look at the huge Zerg spacecraft, which can be said to integrate weapons and civilized life.

If only the nuclear fusion engine is developed to the extreme, the endurance of the light-speed spacecraft is only a few hundred light years based on the navigation distance.

In reality, it will be much smaller than this number. A spacecraft still needs energy in many places, such as the high-frequency calculation of the onboard host, the defense of the energy shield, weapons and steering, etc. After comprehensive calculation, a light-speed spacecraft can only cruise within a hundred light years when it is fully fueled.

But after the development of the warp engine for superluminal navigation, the situation will change again, but at that time, the energy supply of nuclear fusion cannot meet the warp engine, and the antimatter utilization technology will really shine at this time.

According to the normal development history of civilization, at this stage, energy surplus has been achieved by nuclear fusion devices alone, and civilization has no need and motivation to spend a lot of energy on researching antimatter technology.

But after all, humans are a race that has seen the universe with their eyes open. They understand that nuclear fusion is enough to deal with the present, and even to deal with unknown fleets, it may be enough!

But what about the future?

The universe is now ushering in a rare window period in countless eras. The evil restarters are fighting and sealing themselves. The next 100 million years will be the best time to become a cosmic civilization.

At this time, it can pull civilization to take one more step, and it can take a little more advantage in the future!

As for whether it will become a dragon after becoming a cosmic civilization, we must first get the holy sword that can slay the dragon!

The good news this time came from the antimatter research team of the forward base.

On Ceres, which is now almost covered by various metal bases, a large particle collider has been deployed on the equator.

The experts and professors at the Forward Base were still not satisfied, and even proposed to build a circumstellar orbital collider around the sun, or at least a circumstellar collider around the asteroid belt.

This group of experts also understands the theory of moderation, but unfortunately they met Professor Mao.

Rejected!

Review again!

Not approved!

The three consecutive rejections forced everyone to honestly grab the circumstellar collider around Ceres, including the antimatter research group that has made considerable progress recently.

But Professor Mao's approval can also convince a group of scientists. After all, this is a critical period for building the Great Wall of Space. A while ago, a spacecraft equipped with fifteen engines was successfully tested, and it was immediately intercepted by Professor Mao and directly loaded with materials and sent to Pluto.

If they are given unlimited support in the name of scientific research, I don’t know how many space wonders they will create!

Today, in a laboratory at the Forward Base, several scientists in white coats are closely watching a transparent glass box through holographic projection.

In this glass box, there is a common room-temperature superconducting material, which is floating in the air.

The two sides of this transparent glass box are full of dense lines. These lines extend out and connect to the orbit of the particle collider around Ceres. Once the experiment begins, a large number of high-speed and high-energy particles will appear from both sides and bombard the suspended superconducting material.

"Let's start quickly! Otherwise, the next group will complain that our experiment is overtime."

"For the 25742nd time, the particle-level antimatter annihilation effect observation experiment begins."

The diameter of Ceres is about 950 kilometers. If a particle collider wants to build such a long orbit around it, it would be a major project even on Earth in the past, let alone in space?

But with the advancement of various projects in the forward base, productivity has shown an exponential leap, and it only takes a month to build such a super project.

And its related construction ideas and drawings are all from the planetary orbital collider donated by the Zerg. Now it has become a necessary tool for various high-energy research.

As the command was issued, some strange rays were emitted through these lines and acted on this superconducting material.

In the microscopic world, a violent reaction that is invisible to the naked eye is taking place.

That is a microscopic structure smaller than molecules and atoms. Within the range of strong interaction, the quarks that make up hadrons suddenly dispersed. They were scattered in the empty space inside the atom, and quark exchange occurred between different atoms. In other words, quarks inside an atom sometimes run into other atoms.

They permeate the entire atomic space, and their distribution presents the characteristics of a "cloud", like an electron cloud.

In this process, the scientists who presided over the project observed that the superconducting material began to emit faint infrared rays.

"This should be a small-scale collision of quarks during the dispersion process, and the energy level transition caused the generation of photons." A physical scientist analyzed.

After the scientist finished speaking, an intelligent assistant immediately recorded this passage and sent it to the host through the communication system, using the computing power of the supercomputer to analyze it.

After the intelligent assistant submitted the information, the project leader began to issue the next instruction: "Start the instrument and start generating antimatter."

"Okay."

Another assistant agreed and pressed several buttons on the instrument.

In the microscopic world, the quarks that permeated the internal space of the atom and showed the characteristics of "electron cloud" suddenly seemed to be crazy and collided with the quarks closest to them.

In the violent collision, the quarks recombined into hadrons, such as protons and neutrons. In this process, some quarks disappeared out of thin air. They became photons or neutrinos and escaped from the inside of this material.

In short, this superconducting material lit up.

And this is definitely not the energy provided by those high-energy particle flows. The energy source provided to the quark riot is the annihilation of antimatter at the particle level.

Although it still cannot be preserved, at least it is not out of control.

Just like the development idea of ​​nuclear technology, reducing the uncontrollable state to a controllable level can turn a nuclear weapon into a nuclear reactor.

It seems that the first step has been completed?

"The energy collection instrument mounted on the glass is working properly, and the thermal energy transmission of the superconducting material is working properly."

"........It's just that the conversion rate is too low, isn't it?"

An expert sighed slightly and said, "We have thoroughly studied the principle of the antimatter pile in the Zerg spacecraft, but when it comes to us, although some technical means are far from mature, our energy collection is shockingly low, and it can't be called the energy generated by antimatter at all!"

The expert's point of view is very correct. Compared with the energy invested in this experiment, the energy obtained is negligible.

This was one of the difficulties of nuclear fusion technology in the past. The Q value is lower than 1, and the output is far less than the input.

"What's the matter?"

"The energy obtained from the controlled nuclear fusion technology verified in the laboratory in the last century is also negligible."

"Although we already have drawings, the humanization of related technologies is still under exploration."

"This time, it can verify the feasibility of antimatter application, which is already a huge success. It's too difficult to get fat in one go!"

Another expert who was still collecting data seriously shook his head and answered, and at the same time did not slack off on the work in front of him.

"Yes!"

"Even if we have mature technology and reactor drawings, the antimatter theory is still too weak for humans."

"This is not the case when the nuclear fusion reactor was discovered on the Horned Planet. At that time, humans at least had a certain amount of technology accumulation. Now we are doing something new. Now that we can test its feasibility, it is an important step forward!"

The team leader looked at the superconducting material that was stably heating in front of him and exhaled lightly. After so many rounds of experiments, only nine [mild and controllable] reactions were stably produced.

The success rate is a bit lower, but the results are real.

Although humans have taken a shortcut to see the road in the distance on the road of antimatter application, they are still climbing hard at the foot of the mountain.

But they have taken a steady step and have crossed the starting point of zero, just like many civilizations, they have begun to run on this track.

Antimatter application technology, a breakthrough!

Such an achievement does not even require Base Zero to notify Lu Yu. He is just eating dinner made by Base Seven in the living area. With the prompt of the system in the breeze, human technology has taken another step forward.

It's another simple and happy day with +100 points!
