Long Yuankong shook his head helplessly, thought for a while and then said: "Energy shield technology and energy weapon technology are very different. Although they are both energy technologies, one is used for attack and the other is used for defense. Currently we are
There has been no substantial progress in this area.”
"Without the energy shield, it would be really dangerous for just one space battleship to go out."
Qin Yi nodded. Energy shield technology and magnetic field shield technology are classified in the science and technology tower as belonging to Level 4 cosmic civilization, while energy technology belongs to Level 2 and Level 3 cosmic civilization technologies.
A space battleship with an energy shield and a space battleship without an energy shield are not on the same level at all.
Wars in the interstellar universe are basically wars involving energy weapons, using energy weapons that are fast enough and very powerful.
The function of the energy shield is to greatly offset and reduce the attack of energy weapons. Some powerful energy shields can even completely resist the attack of energy weapons.
There is a huge difference in performance and role between a space battleship with a defensive shield and a space battleship without a defensive shield.
Without an energy shield, you can only rely on your own rough skin and thick flesh to defend against enemy attacks. An energy attack from the enemy will create an extra hole in the battleship.
It doesn't matter if you are lucky, but if you are unlucky, an energy attack hitting the core area can directly blow up a space battleship.
A space battleship with an energy shield is completely different. It is basically equivalent to wearing a turtle shell. The threat to it from energy attacks is very limited, and it can gallop around the battlefield mountain desperately.
Qin Yi is very clear about this. In the technology tower, there are many space battleships with energy shields tyrannizing those without energy shields.
The gap between the two is like the difference between clouds and mud, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground.
"It seems that the focus in the future will still be on the research of energy shield technology. With this energy shield technology, the entire galaxy should be able to break through."
Qin Yi thought so in his heart.
He looked at the space battleships in the shipbuilding dock. These space battleships have all had their names stamped on them. They have all been completed and launched. They only need to make up for the supplies before they can set foot on the stars to explore the world beyond the stars.
More than a month later.
In the largest space port in the outer space of Mars, the hatches of space battleships are wide open, and Milon-class spacecraft are constantly transporting supplementary supplies to these space battleships.
On these space battleships, the members of the exploration team who have just entered the space battleship are getting familiar with their living, working and working environment.
Cao Yadong is a scientist aboard the space battleship Explorer. He is a scientist who studies cosmic astronomy. This time, Xinghan organized several fleets to explore the starry sky around the solar system, which naturally attracted countless scientists.
Naturally, the most excited people to participate with the ship are the astronomy scientists.
In fact, Xinghan's cosmic astronomy scientists have long wanted to form a separate fleet to investigate the Orion cantilever where the solar system is located, so as to learn more information and gain a deeper understanding of the Milky Way.
The starry sky in the universe is really vast. The Milky Way alone is very vast to modern humans. Astronomical scientists have been constantly studying cosmic astronomy and the Milky Way.
If you want to have a more in-depth study of the Milky Way, it is not enough to just observe the stars in the starry sky. You must go to every corner of the universe to take a look and walk around. The more you go, the wider the space.
The more information we get, the deeper we will understand the Milky Way.
This time, Xinghan officially organized the exploration of the Orion cantilever. There were several teams, exploring in different directions. Some of them explored inward along the Orion cantilever, and some explored outward along the Orion cantilever.
And because the void of the universe is a three-dimensional space, although the Orion cantilever is only a small part of the Milky Way, the span of the Orion cantilever itself is also very large. The thickness of the entire cantilever is thousands of light years. Such a huge space
Nature also needs to be explored.
Cao Yadong was very lucky. He was chosen by lot to follow the Explorer. According to the itinerary of the Explorer, it will explore inward along the direction of the Orion cantilever.
Everything in this galaxy is dominated by the black hole at its core, so the closer you are to the center of the galaxy, the denser the stars, and the more secrets you can explore.
In contrast, the team that explores toward the outer reaches of the Orion cantilever can learn even less information. Going toward the outer reaches of the Milky Way, the distance between stars becomes larger, and there is not much that can be explored.
Because it is a spaceship used for interstellar exploration, the 'Explorer' space battleship is very complete with all kinds of equipment, instruments, etc., and they are also the latest high-tech exploration equipment and instruments, which makes Cao Yadong even more
satisfied.
I walked around this brand new space battleship very casually, getting familiar with the life aboard for a while, and at the same time becoming familiar with other people on the battleship.
For a long time to come, everyone will live, work, and study on the battleship. According to the schedule, this time, the 'Explorer' space battleship will likely go out for more than ten years, covering at least 100 light-years around the solar system.
Explore and inspect the planetary systems within the scope.
If conditions permit, the 'Explorer' may continue to investigate the Milky Way along the direction of the Orion cantilever, and the duration will be longer.
This means that these people on the ship will basically meet each other without looking up, and this will last for at least ten years. It is still necessary to have a good relationship.
Because of this, many people who originally wanted to go on inspections with the ship have given up. It will take at least ten years to go there, and there are many dangers in this interstellar universe. Maybe they will never come back.
It's hard to tell when it's coming.
Everyone who dares to embark on this journey is a true explorer!
Soon, it was time to set off, and the space battleship slowly left the space port, continuously accelerating in the void, and flew towards the unknown starry sky.
Cao Yadong looked at Mars in the void, this beautiful planet, and waved his hand without looking back.
ps: I will go home to celebrate the New Year in a few days. Are you homesick?
