In the Lunar Ocean of Storms area, in the secret scientific research base of Xinghai Technology.
Liu Yuan came to the moon again, ready to see the design and construction of the warp engine.
Building a warp engine requires breakthroughs in several major technologies. One is the theory related to warp speed. You must master the theory before you can use the theory to actually produce a warp engine.
The second is the material. The warp drive is too powerful and ordinary materials cannot bear it. Xinghai Technology also obtained a new material, iron essence, that can meet the needs of the warp drive after its recent breakthrough in magnetic energy technology.
The last thing is energy. The work of the warp engine requires an extremely large amount of energy. Traditional energy technology cannot meet the needs of the warp engine and cannot provide powerful energy for it. Therefore, nuclear fusion technology must be developed to provide it with energy.
Provides powerful energy.
Now all technologies in Xinghai Technology have made breakthroughs. Zhou Yu has been responsible for the design of warp engines, and many departments have begun to design and manufacture warp engine spacecraft.
"Haha, this design is finally perfect!"
In the laboratory, Zhou Yu shouted excitedly. The huge monitor in front of him was showing a strange engine-like design.
This is the first-generation warp engine designed by Zhou Yu. Its shape looks a bit like a regular polygon with 108 faces. At the same time, its internal structure is extremely complex, just like the tripe of a cow. There is actually a
The structure, layer after layer, constantly folding shapes, has a total of 108 folded surfaces. Each surface is extremely complex. A supercomputer is required to calculate this surface, and the amount of mathematical calculations involved is extremely huge.
"Zhou Yu, is this design really feasible?"
Next to Zhou Yu, Sun Zilong touched his head and said.
He still doesn't understand the warp theory, so he is only Zhou Yu's deputy, responsible for assisting Zhou Yu in designing and building the warp engine. He has finally completed the design of the warp engine on the computer.
The next step is to turn this warp engine from design and manufacturing into a physical object.
"Of course. The so-called warp speed flight simply means folding the space like folding paper, and then flying directly from one point to another."
"The larger the folding space, the farther the warp flight can be at one time. Therefore, in the design of the warp engine, we must try our best to find ways to fold more space, so the warp engine is folded
The more curved surfaces there are, the more powerful it will be."
"According to my calculations, if we can create such a warp engine, the distance we can fly at warp speed at one time will exceed 1,000 astronomical units."
Zhou Yu said very confidently.
Since his last epiphany, he has been able to fully understand the warp speed theory, and is even now able to continue to develop in this field, often publishing some new theories. However, he can understand it now and understand it.
The only one left is the boss Liu Yuan.
"1000 astronomical units?"
"Isn't the distance too short?"
"You have to know that 1 light-year is equal to more than 60,000 astronomical units. In other words, it takes more than 60 warp flights to fly 1 light-year?"
When Sun Zilong heard this, he made some calculations and said.
"Just be content."
"The distance of 1 light-year is so far that even light takes 1 year to travel. If you use a warp engine to fly, you only need 60 warp flights to cross it. This is already an extremely impressive speed."
"You must know that the time of warp flight is actually very short. I estimate that it may only take a few minutes. It will not take much time to fly a long distance of 1 light-year."
Zhou Yu smiled and said: "If we were flying with an ordinary spaceship, the spaceship might have corroded itself, and we humans wouldn't be able to fly to the Centaur galaxy closest to us."
"I have reason to believe that the reason why we have not had any contact with extraterrestrial civilizations is not because there are no extraterrestrial civilizations in the universe, but because the interstellar universe is too vast. Without mastering warp engine technology,
It is simply impossible to cross the distant starry sky."
"We and alien civilizations are like small islands isolated by the sea. Only after we master the warp engine technology can we have the ability to cross the sea and visit each island."
"Well said, most of the civilizations in the universe should be isolated by the vast starry sky. Only truly powerful civilizations can soar in the interstellar universe, so we must work hard to become a great civilization that can truly soar in the sea of stars.
civilization!"
At this time, Liu Yuan came over, heard Zhou Yu's words, and said with a smile.
"Boss~"
When everyone saw that the boss was coming, they quickly shouted in unison.
"Hmm~"
"Is this the warp drive you designed?"
Liu Yuan looked at the large screen in front of him carefully. At the same time, the virtual machine he carried quickly connected to the central computer system of the base. He quickly obtained the relevant information about the warp engine in front of him, and a large amount of information poured into his mind.
"Yes, boss, please help me. We are the only two who understand the warp speed theory now."
Zhou Yu nodded and said.
"The design is very good, but there are some areas that could be slightly improved. Its performance may be improved, and its stability may also be improved."
Liu Yuan looked at it carefully, and after reading it in detail, he also started to put forward some opinions of his own.
Liu Yuan has seen countless warp engine design plans in the inheritance seeds. The warp engine design plan in front of him is only a very rudimentary design plan. It is still relatively primitive. There are many areas that need improvement. Liu Yuan
Yuan also mentioned a few points casually.
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"
After listening to Liu Yuan's opinion, Zhou Yu couldn't help but slap his thigh. He figured out some things at once, and then started to revise quickly with a thought.
The emergence of virtual machines has also brought good news to all kinds of designs, because you can immediately modify various places with just a thought, so it is easier and faster to design.
For example, in the past, designing a part required some training. First, you had to understand the use of the software in detail, and you had to be very proficient to be able to design it freely.
But now, there is no such problem at all. The virtual industrial software designed by Xinghai Technology does not require any knowledge of the software at all. You only need to understand the design of parts. Many things are done with a single thought.
You can design and modify it very conveniently and easily.
"We also need to modify it here. It should be modified like this."
Liu Yuan was also connected to the computer, and he was constantly making modifications as his thoughts moved. The two of them were discussing and constantly making modifications to the warp engine design plan.
This makes Sun Tzu Long and others on the side also envious. Who knows that the only ones who understand this warp theory now are the boss and Zhou Yu. Everyone can't get a word in at all now, and they don't understand the theory, let alone why they are doing it.
Such a design.
The two discussed it for more than 2 hours before finally stopping with satisfaction.
"Just follow this plan."
Liu Yuan looked at the finalized plan of the new design and gave orders to Zhou Yu and Sun Zilong.
"Boss, are we just going to build it like this?"
"Don't we need to make a sample for testing first, and then confirm it after obtaining relevant data?"
When Sun Zilong heard this, he thought about it and said.
"No need~"
"The manufacturing of warp engines costs a lot of money, and the company doesn't have much money to conduct experiments. These are all made of iron, and the resources required are too great."
"We don't have that many resources, nor that much time. We must build this warp engine as soon as possible, and at the same time, build the warp spacecraft before the end of next year."
Liu Yuan shook his head and said.
Step by step?
I'm afraid it's too late now. Time waits for no one. The current situation is quite unfavorable to me. Only by building this warp spaceship as soon as possible can I feel at ease.
"We understand~"
When Zhou Yu, Sun Zilong and others heard this, they immediately replied in unison. They all knew the current situation. Xinghai Technology was like a child crossing the street with a gold brick in his arms. His eyes were so coveted and jealous.
It's too much.
"Wang Wei has already gone to Mars and will build a spaceship factory on Mars. It will be much more convenient to mine asteroids on Mars. Chen Jing will also go to Mars to produce more iron essence.
, you should also set off to Mars in a while, and build this warp engine as soon as possible."
Liu Yuan thought about it and made arrangements.
The earth is obviously not suitable for building warp spacecraft, because the resources required to build warp engines are too many, and they must be mined from the asteroid belt. The last time an asteroid was mined, it caused huge waves.
, Liu Yuan didn’t want to cause any more waves, so they all moved to Mars, where there was nothing to say.
Being far away from the earth and far away from the right and wrong and eyes here on the earth, you can build warp engines and warp spaceships with peace of mind. The key is that it is also convenient to go to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids and obtain the required resources.
Mars is much closer to the asteroid belt than the Earth, only less than 1 astronomical unit away.
"Yes, boss~"
Zhou Yu and Sun Zilong also nodded in unison and replied. Thinking of going to Mars for a long time to work, they both had a headache. After all, the earth is too far away.
