Chapter 82, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse
In the largest Holy Light Hall of the Baldo Civilization Theological Seminary, many top scientists of the Baldo Civilization, leaders of the Baldo Civilization, and dignitaries all gathered together.
At this moment, everyone was listening carefully to Povich's explanation of his mysterious warp flight theory and his vision of the vast starry sky.
"...The universe is just like a piece of paper. When it is acted upon by a powerful force, it will create waves like water. But when the force is strong enough, it will continue to twist and fold.
.”
"Powerful celestial bodies in the universe, such as stars, black holes, neutron stars, etc., because of their extremely huge mass, will exert huge pressure on the surrounding space, causing distortion and folding of space around the celestial body, and then firmly
Locking onto other low-mass celestial bodies within the surrounding space."
"The basis of warp theory is to use powerful energy to distort and fold space. When space is folded and restored again, it will become flat again like a piece of paper."
"And the speed and process of space becoming flat will be infinitely fast, which also means that we can use this to achieve flight beyond the speed of light and achieve warp speed flight!"
Povich held up a piece of paper to explain to everyone the results of his research on warp speed theory.
Look at the many scientists. They all know what is happening but don’t know why. They seem to understand everything, but they don’t understand anything.
However, this did not prevent everyone from standing up and slapping their thighs in front of Povich. This is respect for a great man and a very high etiquette.
"The vast starry sky and universe are vast and boundless. Each galaxy is like a solitary island in the vast sea of universe, blocked from each other by the distant starry sky."
"Only those civilizations that can master interstellar space flight technology are great civilizations in the interstellar universe, because only such civilizations can break through the limitations and cages of the universe island and truly move towards a broader world with unlimited possibilities."
"Now, our great Balto civilization has finally made a breakthrough. In the future, the light of our Balto civilization will surely shine across the vast starry sky and resound throughout the universe!"
Povich's voice was very loud, extremely excited and excited.
Scientists of the Boluodu civilization have always been trying to find civilizations in the universe just like scientists on Earth. To this end, they have done a lot of stupid things, such as launching detectors to the surrounding galaxies, transmitting radio broadcasts, etc.
wait.
However, long years have passed, and they have never received any response or news. It is like a mud cow drowning in the sea, unable to make any ripples at all.
So much so that many scientists even assert that the Baldo Civilization may be the only civilization and the only intelligent life in the interstellar universe.
But this point is obviously untenable. The interstellar universe is vast and boundless, and there must be more than just our own civilization. There must also be other intelligent life and alien civilizations.
However, because we have not mastered the technology of interstellar space navigation, it is impossible to leave the galaxy where our civilization is located.
Now, the Baldo civilization finally has the possibility to leave its own galaxy, to break the prison cage, and to venture into the vast interstellar universe.
Everyone stood up again, slapping their thighs and paying high respect to Povich.
Scientists are great, especially great scientists like Povich, who deserve everyone's respect.
Povich's speech ended quickly, and Romer, the leader of the Boluodu civilization, quickly summoned many top scientists to discuss the matter in detail.
In a conference room, Romer looked at many top scientists, thought for a while and said to Povich: "Master, if we want to achieve warp speed and build an interstellar spacecraft, how long will it take us?"
"How much additional funds are needed?"
"Great leader!"
After hearing Romer's words, Povich also saluted respectfully. The leader of the Boluoduo civilization has always been considered the spokesperson of God in the world and enjoys a lofty status.
"For now, I just understand the theory of warp flight. If I want to put the theory into practice, this process is not easy."
"According to my theory, there are several key points to achieve warp flight. One is the need for powerful energy. Warp flight uses powerful energy to fold and distort space, thereby achieving warp flight."
"Based on our current science and technology, the more feasible way is nuclear fusion technology, which can be used to create powerful energy."
"The second is material technology. Warp speed flight requires the use of powerful energy to distort space, which means that there must be strong enough materials to support it. Ordinary materials are simply not enough to support warp speed flight."
"As long as these two major problems are solved, we will soon be able to build an interstellar spacecraft and head towards the vast starry sky."
Povich thought about it carefully and asked.
"How long will it take to solve these two major problems?"
Romer nodded. The development of science and technology is indeed not a unilateral breakthrough, but requires a breakthrough in overall technology. Even if he knows the theory of warp flight, he still wants to create an interstellar spaceship.
There are still two major problems to face.
"Controllable nuclear fusion technology is a technology we have been studying for a long time. Although it is not mature yet, it has overcome the main problem, which is how to restrain the huge energy generated during nuclear fusion."
"The main thing is that if we are willing to invest more scientists, financial and material resources, we should be able to master it soon."
"In terms of materials, with our current materials technology, I think we should be able to find materials that can meet the requirements of warp speed flight."
Cahill, the dean of the seminary, thought about it and said immediately.
The Baldo civilization, which has entered the interstellar space age for more than five thousand years, has not always stood still. Over the long years, the Baldo civilization has already accumulated a solid foundation and has made many breakthroughs in many fields of science and technology.
.
Even the Boluoduo civilization has been studying controllable nuclear fusion technology for a long time, and is almost on the verge of mastering this powerful energy technology.
"very good!"
"I announce that from now on the Starship Project will be established, with Povich as the overall director of the Starship Project, Cahill and General Odo, and Finance Minister Fassi as the second-level directors."
"You have only one mission, and that is, no matter how much manpower, material and financial resources are invested in it, I hope to be able to build an interstellar spaceship in the shortest possible time."
"Our Balad civilization will soon become a great interstellar and cosmic civilization, leaving the Bald galaxy and heading towards the vast interstellar universe!"
Romer nodded with satisfaction, and after pondering for a while, he decisively issued an order to establish a starship planning team.
"yes!"
When several people heard this, they immediately stood up and replied respectfully.
Soon, Movich and Cahill began to get busy. As scientists, what they had to do was to lead the team to overcome all the problems as soon as possible and solve the many problems in the construction of interstellar spaceships.
As for General Odo and Chief Financial Officer Fassi, they stayed to continue the meeting and carefully discussed the problems that the Baldo civilization might encounter after entering the interstellar universe.
There is no doubt that the first thing any civilization thinks of is to build a powerful interstellar and cosmic army.
Because only by having a powerful interstellar army in your hands can you truly protect yourself, and at the same time, you can use the sword in your hand to open up more territories in the interstellar universe and compete for more resources and living space.
"Our current understanding of the interstellar universe is still too little, too little. We don't know what the situation in the interstellar universe is like."
"But one day it is certain, that is, we must have the absolute power to protect ourselves. No matter whether we colonize or expand in the interstellar universe, our Boluodu civilization will always need a strong interstellar army."
"We have been at peace for many years, and the size, number and expenditure of our military have been kept at an extremely low level."
"But in the future, this is obviously not possible. We must build a powerful interstellar army to deal with all possible situations."
"General Odo, I am giving you an order now, ordering you to start building and training an interstellar and cosmic army with about 10 million people from now on!"
"10 million?"
"Do we need that many troops?"
When General Odo heard this, he was immediately shocked. You must know that the current army of the Baldo Civilization is less than 1 million. For long-term peace and unity, the Baldo Civilization does not need a large army at all.
Now it is necessary to build a huge army of 10 million at once, which is more than ten times the current number.
"I don't know either, but for the safety of our Balodo civilization, I feel that even these 10 million troops may not be enough. No one knows what kind of powerful civilization we will encounter in the interstellar universe."
"We are heading towards the interstellar universe, and we don't know whether it is good or bad!"
Romer nodded solemnly, and then said worriedly.
As the leader of a civilization, Romer needs to consider more and longer-term issues. Not only does he see the Boluodu civilization going out, but he also sees the difficulties that it is likely to face and the problems that come from the interstellar universe.
powerful enemies and civilizations.
The Boluodu civilization has been at peace for too long. It has been so long that it has forgotten what war is like. If it directly enters the interstellar universe like this, who knows what kind of fate it will have.
"yes!"
"I see!"
After hearing Roemer's words, General Odo immediately understood his concerns and quickly bowed respectfully and went to deal with the matter.
