After concluding that the star was obscured by something, Xiao Yu's research encountered a bottleneck.
The distance of ten light years is not close. Above this distance, a lot of information will be lost because the distance is too far. It is impossible for Xiao Yu to obtain more observation data before starting close observations.
In desperation, Xiao Yu had no choice but to put this matter on hold for the time being and instead focus on digesting the current technology.
With the joint efforts of Xiao Yu and thousands of scientists, the research and development of antimatter engines has been making rapid progress. So far, Xiao Yu has developed a large antimatter engine that is enough to drive a county-level spacecraft. Under this situation, the antimatter engine is rapidly developing.
The sub-research also has the conditions to start.
Creating tachyons requires a lot of energy and requires antimatter technology to develop to a certain level. Xiao Yu can now meet these two conditions.
Under Xiao Yu's control, a total of tens of thousands of spacecraft participated in the production project of the first negative matter cannon.
Xiao Yu is not yet capable of manufacturing a super-giant negative matter cannon with a muzzle diameter of five kilometers like the one in the Sky Blue Market, but it is still possible to make a smaller one.
A negative matter cannon must contain two parts, one is the super-light detection module, and the other is the tachyon launch module, which is the attack module.
The super-light detection module is relatively simple, because tachyons move at super-light speed, and its speed is much faster than the fastest super-light spacecraft, so it can catch up with the spacecraft that is sailing in curvature, and then
It is reflected back from the original path. At that time, by analyzing its various changes, the speed, mass, volume and other information of the target can be determined.
The relatively difficult part is the attack module. In order to support the huge energy demand, the energy supply module in the attack module must be built very large. A huge energy supply module means a large number of various precision instruments. It means presenting
Exponentially increasing construction difficulty.
However, these problems were jointly overcome by a group of scientists headed by Xiao Yu. According to statistics, in the process of building the first negative matter cannon, Xiao Yu encountered a total of more than 40,000 technical problems, just laying the barrel.
In terms of aspects, there are more than a thousand.
Xiao Yu independently solved more than 20,000 of these more than 40,000 problems. Xiao Yu assigned the remaining 20,000 to scientists of more than 100 races. Among them, scientist Luca solved more than 7,000.
There are more than 100 remaining races of scientists, and each race has solved about 120 on average.
Every idea for solving technical problems will be recorded by Xiao Yu. Compared with his current technical means, during this process, backward technologies are constantly being eliminated and replaced by new, more efficient technologies.
The construction of this negative matter cannon promoted the advancement of Xiao Yu's entire technological level.
"It seems that my strategy of collecting a lot of other intelligent biological scientists in the universe is not wrong. If they didn't help me share the tasks and I did the research independently, I would have to spend at least twice as much time as I do now."
Looking at the construction drawings lying quietly in his mind, Xiao Yu felt very emotional.
Various construction materials, construction drawings and other things occupy 0.1% of all Xiao Yu's storage devices. This is a larger amount of data than all the hard drives in the Earth era combined.
After the research and development phase is completed, it is time for the specific construction work. Xiao Yu will be able to complete this step independently and no longer needs the help of the scientist group. Therefore, Xiao Yu assigned them new tasks and directed them to continue to discuss how to improve the negative matter cannon.
Conducted research on its power, reduced energy consumption, and reduced its size, and started the construction work with all its strength.
After conducting a comprehensive survey of this binary star system, Xiao Yu decided not to build this first negative matter cannon on a planet. Instead, it would be built in an orbit around a brown dwarf.
In Xiao Yu's plan, the size of this negative matter cannon will reach a length of more than ten kilometers, with a width and height of seven kilometers and three kilometers respectively. In sharp contrast, the diameter of the muzzle is only a few kilometers.
to two hundred meters. Its power will reach the point where it can shatter the four-dimensional protective cover of a county-level spacecraft with one shot.
Xiao Yu knew that the negative matter cannon technology and the Molian civilization had just started, otherwise they would not have only built negative matter cannons on the surface of the planet without equipping them on the spacecraft. However, his current level is worse than
They are still inferior to them and can only be regarded as the elementary among the elementary.
The negative matter cannon is mainly designed for spacecraft that are facing curvature navigation. If it is installed on the surface of a planet or in the inner space of a star system such as an orbit, it will lose its greatest role. Because inside the star system
In space, due to the gravitational influence of stars, spacecraft generally will not enter the curvature navigation, which will be very dangerous.
Although the transmission speed of tachyons far exceeds the speed of light, the negative matter cannon equipped inside the star system still does not have the ability to directly attack spacecraft outside the star system. The reason is very simple. Although there is a vacuum in interstellar space, there will always be space there.
There is more or less cosmic dust. Within a distance of tens of billions of kilometers, the accumulation of thin cosmic dust is also a very considerable amount. These cosmic dust will greatly weaken the power of the negative matter cannon.
.
But this step is necessary. Only after the negative matter cannon is truly constructed, can we consider how to make it efficient and miniaturized, and finally equip it on a spacecraft to start a battle at super-light speed.
Moreover, even the negative matter cannon built inside the galaxy is an extremely powerful positional defense weapon. Xiao Yu has not forgotten the Henan spacecraft that was attacked by the negative matter cannon and disappeared directly from the universe.
Under Xiao Yu's command, tens of thousands of collection bases built on this rocky planet are operating at full power. Thousands of tons of minerals are collected every moment, and after preliminary processing on the spot
, they were transported to the forging workshop for the next step of deep processing, and then transported to the casting workshop and precision machining workshop. Here, these materials were manufactured by Xiao Yu into precision parts according to the predetermined drawings, and then there were
Robots load them onto the spacecraft, which transports them to the construction site.
The brown dwarf orbits 30 million kilometers away. Because the brown dwarf itself does not emit visible light and its companion star is too far away, it is pitch black. However, the arrival of a spacecraft broke this place.
of quietness.
It launched an artificial sun driven by an anti-matter engine. After being launched, the artificial sun quickly rushed to the intended target and stabilized there under the action of its own power system. Then, the anti-matter engine started
, it released extremely strong light, illuminating the nearby interstellar space for dozens of kilometers.
This is just the first one, there will be a second one, a third one behind...
Xiao Yu launched dozens of artificial suns in total, and only after dispelling all the darkness in this area, he stopped launching artificial suns.
Then, under the light of the artificial sun, a village-level spacecraft arrived at the predetermined location. Its hatch slowly opened, and several robots equipped with reverse thrust engines flew out carrying a cube-shaped instrument.
, placing it on the track.
This is the first part to build this negative matter cannon. After the first part, there is the second part. Several more robots carry another irregular-shaped object and fly from this village-level spacecraft.
came out, assembled the second part and the first part together, and connected them with some prepared lines.
The monitoring instrument installed inside the parts sent a signal to confirm that they were connected correctly. After receiving this signal, Xiao Yu began to install the third and fourth parts...
All the parts for manufacturing the first negative matter cannon were transported here after being manufactured at the ground base. The ground base is responsible for manufacturing, and the village-class spacecraft is responsible for transportation. Here, they are only responsible for assembly.
Under this mode of division of labor, the construction progress of this negative matter cannon was very fast. In just one day, with the first part as the core, the volume of this instrument has reached a length of nearly one hundred meters.
, equivalent to the largest human spacecraft in the history of the earth, the Russian Salyut space station.
Because the volume increases, the number of robots that can be accommodated at the same time increases. At this moment, there are already thousands of construction robots of different shapes busy on its surface, and thousands of spacecraft have transported a large amount of fuel, parts, etc.
, between the spacecraft and the instruments, there are robots with flames on their backs shuttling busy at all times.
At least 70% of the casting power of Xiao Yu's entire industrial system is used here. That is a huge force equivalent to at least hundreds of human society's entire manufacturing power. Now, this force is all used to push this machine
Instrument construction process.
Every step of building this instrument has been considered by Xiao Yu, and most of the problems encountered have been solved by Xiao Yu in advance. But even if such comprehensive and precise preparations are made in advance, during the actual construction process
During the process, they still encountered countless problems. However, the more than 7,000 scientists who had long been devoted to Xiao Yu were not just freeloaders. They were fed by Xiao Yu's various generous material conditions, and they were exhausted every day.
Full of enthusiasm, he is waiting to work for Xiao Yu and find solutions to the problems Xiao Yu encounters.
Under the light of hundreds of artificial suns, the size of the first negative matter cannon is rapidly increasing... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes,
