Chapter 1404 Construction of the Reincarnation Disk
Oscar looked at the long and narrow cylinder in the bubble and was a little confused: "Is this the later reincarnation disk? Why does it look not like a plate at all, but like a pen?"
"Of course it's because it saves money by building this way!" Cheng Ying smiled: "You should have noticed that each layer of the reincarnation disk uses gravity simulated by centripetal force. Even today's gravity generators can
The consumption is not low for us, and gravity generators are generally only used on battleships.
What's more, at that time, we didn't even have a clue about gravity technology. The earliest goal of the space city was to achieve long-term survival in space.
Neither humans nor soul beasts are actually adapted to an environment without gravity. Although early pilots always complained that those who dare not fly into the blue sky are souls bound by gravity. But from a scientific point of view, the human body does not
Failure to adapt to the ecological environment of space, especially if you live for a long time, will cause many chronic diseases that are difficult to deal with.
Therefore, a stable gravity-simulating environment is necessary for long-term survival in space. Making the space city into such a slender cylinder is naturally to use less material and smaller space to create a larger space.
The footprint simulates gravity.
Think about it, when the circular areas on both sides of the space city are fixed, the longer they are made, the larger the area that can be used for free! So the early space cities were designed to look like this weird cigar.
"
Oscar nodded. He could probably imagine that Tulip's technology at that time was not an exaggeration. At most, it was the development of another world, which allowed their materials science to complete rapid iterations and create a product that could withstand space navigation.
Large-scale spaceships that accelerate, and abnormal technologies such as teleportation and resurrection, do not exist at all. Under those circumstances, it is not an exaggeration to say that building a space city is an epic project.
"I'm curious, is such a project necessary for your development? Since you have mastered the technology of reaching other planets through teleportation, there should be many habitable planets for you.
Why do we have to build a city that can operate independently in space?" Oscar wondered.
"There are many reasons! On the one hand, we have not mastered the so-called interstellar teleportation technology. Those alien planes under development can only be reached through the portals left in the demiplane. Sometimes it is very difficult to be prepared for danger in times of peace and to worry unfoundedly.
It is difficult to distinguish, even if these portals have been operating safely for who knows how many years? But we cannot take it for granted that this is a mature technology. There must always be a plan B. Once the portal fails, we must
There are other abilities to open up living space.
At that time, we could not see the hope of realizing warp speed navigation technology in a short time, so we could only hope that we could survive in space for a long time, and then use a long time to reach Proxima Centauri for development.
On the other hand, our development also faces external threats. At that time, Tulip was not yet fully prepared to deal with the attacks from the divine realm. As very high-end transcendent beings, each of the gods was a huge threat to our order.
, and space gives us huge strategic depth.
Even the flying speed of a god is limited. In space where there is nowhere to borrow force, if you want to accelerate in a short time, you must carry a large amount of matter and rely on momentum conservation to advance.
In the final analysis, if we want our civilization to spread across the entire starry sky, aerospace technology must be developed."
Oscar nodded. If he didn't plan to join Tulip in the future, then these would be the paths he would have to go through. The two of them plunged into this period of history, while Oscar watched and summarized the lessons learned.
The location where the Star Roulette was originally built was actually in the orbit of a satellite. This satellite was actually a living planet captured by a demiplane, which gave birth to a civilization similar to the ancient Middle Ages.
But because the celestial bodies in the sky are completely different from those seen on the planets where most intelligent creatures live, many different cultures and concepts have arisen. Huge gaseous planets often cover their sky and occupy one-third of the sky.
There are so many of them that they have an inexplicable worship of this huge celestial body, and many people even want to board this huge celestial body.
Compared with the sun, whose outline is unclear, this huge celestial body can be observed in many details, such as the flow of the surface atmosphere and the formation of storms. These phenomena are interpreted into many different meanings in the eyes of people on this planet.
.Some people think this is a revelation from God, while others have enlightened themselves to the simplest scientific thinking after comparing it to wind, frost, rain and snow.
However, these can only be seen in museums now. Tulip's immigrants assimilated them and brought these indigenous people to see the appearance of the huge celestial body in front of them up close for the first time.
Originally, due to cost considerations, most of the building materials in the space city were derived from this satellite. This was considered a big mistake. It was also this mistake that led to the tragedy of the planet being torn apart, because too much space was used.
Being too close to a gas giant, this planet is much more affected by tides than other terrestrial planets. After large-scale mining of underground minerals, the originally solidly connected continental plates collapsed. On a certain day when the orbit was closest to the gas giant, it finally
It completely disintegrated and became suspended, which triggered a series of subsequent disasters.
Oscar wanted to take a small notebook and record all these experiences. Chengying explained to Oscar step by step. They also watched the space city being built brick by brick, and watched the city become safe one by one.
Eliminate hidden dangers.
When Oscar saw that the city was finally completed and he cut off the red silk to celebrate according to the traditional ceremony, for some reason he felt empathy with the builders, as if he had personally participated in the construction.
Average.
Shaking his head and throwing this strange thought out of his mind, he finally understood the concept of Tulip's strong cultural assimilation ability. Just watching history, he could not help but feel an unreasonable sense of identification.
"Let's go! This is the history of this period. After the core of the space city was established, Tulip basically mastered the ability to survive in space. The time has also come to the 23rd year of the Star Era, and this is a new round of technological explosion.
At the beginning, um... the reason for the technological explosion is a confidential matter that ordinary Tulip citizens don't know, and it can't be seen here. It is unlikely to be disclosed to you before you choose to join."
