As the place where the Xuanhuang civilization fell, Tianyuan Star is also the place where the Tianyuan Star civilization rose. It is also a super planet, and its importance is self-evident. Moreover, there are few living planets as huge as Tianyuan Star in the entire universe.
Most rocky planets of this size will attract more gas and interstellar dust due to their huge gravity, and will even compete with real stars for their atmospheres, eventually evolving into gaseous planets, or attracting moths such as asteroids to the flame. Maybe one
If you accidentally smoke it too much, it will trigger nuclear fusion and become a star.
Of course, more large 'planets' will get closer to the star due to gravity, and eventually fall into the star and become part of the star.
However, although Tianyuan Star has many benefits, it is no longer the core of Tianyuan Star civilization's "dealing with major issues" at this time.
In order to better integrate into the Blue Star Group, the important offices of Tianyuan Star Civilization have been moved to Scarlet Pearl Star. In fact, this itself is also a kind of protection for Tianyuan Star, allowing everyone to focus their attention here, not Tianyuan Star.
Just placing it here on the Red Pearl Star also has many problems: it is more than 8,000 light-years from the Red Pearl Star to the Tianyuan Star, and nearly 10,000 light-years from the Tianshe Constellation. When dealing with the Tianshe Constellation, especially the upcoming battle against Carp
Nebula's exploration activities are always beyond its reach.
Today's meeting will also deliver a delivery on the exploration activities.
In the future, the Red Pearl Star will be mainly responsible for the affairs of the Blue Star Group; as for the exploration of the Carp Nebula, the focus will be on the Tianyuan Star in the future. We will even consider establishing a branch similar to the Red Pearl Star in the Tianshe Constellation.

The matter discussed this time is very important. Zhang Hao has arrived. Liu Xinyu, who has been in charge of Tianyuan Star all year round, has also arrived. Of course, there is no need to discuss the private affairs of a eating and drinking man and woman who have not seen each other for many years.
This discussion was held in the scientific research hall of Dayang Group. This time it was interstellar exploration, which can be seen more as an operation with scientific research as the core rather than a military plan. Therefore, this meeting was held in the scientific research hall.
middle.
The scientific research hall is not open to the public. It is a place for internal technical discussions within Dayang Group. This is a place for discussion, not a place for research, and it is not completely top-secret. Some technology-related matters are often discussed here.
Everyone has arrived. Zhang Hao, the president of Dayang Group, and Liu Xinyu, the president of the United Nations Council of the Tianyuan Star Civilization, are sitting side by side at the front.
Bai Yutang made a speech first. His speech sounded impassioned, but there was not much new idea - it was nothing more than survival, progress, and self-improvement, which were all clichés.
After the plan to explore the Carp Nebula was finalized, everyone's ears were already tingling with such speeches. But as a serious meeting, these formalities still need to be a little more formal.
Fortunately, Bai Yutang's speech was very brief. After announcing the official start of the meeting, Zhang Hao first asked: "Zhao Dahe, have you found any gravitational strings in the Tianshe constellation?"
"Yes!" Zhao Dahe said firmly, "Based on the data of the Tianyuan constellation provided by Eternal, we extracted the corresponding observation methods and determined the existence of gravitational strings in the Tianshe constellation.
According to research, we believe that the large array of large galaxies in the sky is a large array constructed of gravitational strings. The gravitational strings are used to penetrate the four-dimensional world and the three-dimensional world.
We are currently trying to explore the gravitational strings from the constellation of Screen Star to the constellation of Canopus, and have discovered several sections."
Zhang Hao nodded, but then turned to look at Huang Mingshan, the representative of Dayang Group's scientific research theory, "Huang Mingshan, the theory of gravitational strings should be no problem. But how to use gravitational strings, do you have any results here?"
Discovering the gravitational string is only the first step, how to use it is the key. Previously, everyone has also made simple use of it, which is to travel through time and space within the influence of the gravitational string. This is more like going down the river, which can increase the speed of the fleet.
Increased by more than 50%.
But this method of utilization is very primitive.
If you want to use gravitational strings to travel to the Carp Nebula, you must find a 'real method of use'.
This difference is like using fire; but only with the emergence of the internal combustion engine can flames be used to a new level. What Zhang Hao wants to ask is whether there is a technology that can directly use gravitational strings.
Huang Mingshan opened a document very calmly and spoke word for word: "I have achieved some results, thanks to the three-turn Tongtian Pill I was taking at the time, plus the recent gains from studying "Zhou Tiangong".
Based on the existing data and results, our scientific research theory department believes that the gravitational string itself fluctuates, which is a fluctuation in space and time. Between its wave crests and wave troughs, there may be an 'absolute straight line that runs through the three-dimensional world'
.
To put it simply, our ordinary space-time appears to be consistent, but in fact there are many folds. These folds... are like stacks of water with different densities."
As he said that, Huang Mingshan turned on the projection equipment and projected a "sea water" of about ten meters.
"Look, this is our space. It looks clear and transparent. But in fact, different parts of the water have different refraction due to different salt content. We think it is a direct route for light to pass through the seawater when viewed from the outside.
It is an irregular and curved curve.
In actual space, due to complex reasons such as the gravity of stars and the movement of galaxies, space-time fluctuations are more intense.
Therefore, when flying under normal circumstances, our flight path is a curve, and we don't know it yet.
But gravitational strings are different!”
With that said, Huang Mingshan opened a new picture, in which an imperceptible undercurrent appeared in the sea water.
Huang Mingshan continued: "You see, this is an undercurrent. In the actual ocean, there are also ocean currents. Ocean currents are the veins of life in the sea. Through ocean currents, fish can migrate around the world. This is the ability of ocean currents.
And because of the huge energy, the ocean current itself directly penetrates seawater of different densities, forming a 'shortcut'.
Similarly, there are ocean currents in the starry sky, which are... gravitational strings. There is a lot of energy in the stars, and this energy is not splashed randomly, especially under the constraints of the Zhoutian Array.
However, the explanation of ocean currents can only explain the three-dimensional world. The gravitational string involves the existence of the four-dimensional world. The actual situation is more complicated.
But the explanation is simple. After research, we believe that gravitational strings are like alternating current, but the fluctuations of gravitational strings are not positive and negative fluctuations, but fluctuations in the three-dimensional world and the four-dimensional world.
The fluctuations of the three-dimensional world, the connected real space. This is the trough of the gravitational string.
The fluctuations in the four-dimensional world are the absolute straight lines we are looking for. This is the crest of the gravitational string.
We need to enter the gravitational string at the wave trough, use the ability of the gravitational string to jump from the four-dimensional world, and appear at the next wave trough, and then enter the gravitational string again. As long as we can catch the fluctuations of the gravitational string, we can achieve a real jump.
This kind of jump is not a simple teleportation. The teleportation distance is limited, and the jump of the gravitational string... Because it is a jump through the four-dimensional world, temporary theoretical research believes that it can jump up to tens of thousands of light years at a time. And the energy
The consumption is very low, because the gravitational string is carrying the spacecraft, not the spacecraft breaking through the space.
In the current research on gravitational string fluctuations, we have found something from the jumping ability of the giant beasts in the Sky Demon World. Because of the powerful power of Qi and blood, the monsters in the Sky Demon World, this extremely pure energy, can actually compete with
The fluctuations in space and time produce a weak resonance.
Now we use this way of energy pole resonance to study the first 'gravitational string thruster'.
Please explain the technical details of the gravitational string thruster, Lin Yinghao, Leng Fengxue, and Ge Dong."
Dayang Group's technical research has clear levels. Exploration and discovery, theoretical research, specific scientific research, technology and engineering construction have formed a strict but effective scientific research system layer by layer.
The speaker was Lin Yinghao.
"It is a great honor to have the opportunity to represent the entire scientific research team to explain new technologies.
This world is in motion. And any movement will have fluctuations. The best way to communicate fluctuations is to synchronize fluctuations, which is resonance.
Thanks to the accumulation of technology in the past, especially thanks to the data provided by Eternity, and the powerful computing power of quantum computers, we have finally developed an experimental gravitational string thruster.
At present, we name this engine technology: space-time wave engine. The fluctuations caused by gravitational strings are fluctuations in space and time. Therefore, they are called space-time waves.
This is the second generation hyperspace engine technology of Dayang Group and Tianyuan Star Civilization.
The first generation of hyperspace engine technology was the warp speed engine that was born sixty years ago. Although our technology has developed greatly since then, its core is still warp speed technology.
Warp technology is a super three-dimensional technology.
But the current space-time wave engine is a quasi-four-dimensional technology. Yes, quasi-four-dimensional. For the time being, we have not really reached the height of the four-dimensional. At present, we can only say that we can borrow some four-dimensional power, and it is limited to gravitational strings.
Experimental space-time wave engines have been tested several times before. Under the same load, the energy consumption per 1,000 light-years is only one-third of the current best warp engines. In the future, as the technology matures, it is expected to be reduced
to one-tenth.”
"one tenth?"
Many people at the scene exclaimed, even Liu Xinyu couldn't help but exclaim.
After having been in the starry sky for so many years, of course everyone understands the concept of reducing energy consumption to one-tenth of the original.
Although the current starry sky is prosperous, the core area of the Zhoutian Array is about 80,000 light-years in diameter, with countless countries and practitioners as countless as the sand on the sea.
But everyone's use of energy is quite pitiful.
Aura comes from the transformation of living planets, and its direct source is the earth's core; and the energy source of the earth's core is nuclear fission.
The power of stars comes from stars, mainly the influence of the Zhoutian Formation. Later, the Ocean Group had star transformation technology, but to be honest, it still used the power of nuclear fusion.
In terms of spacecraft technology, nuclear fusion has always been used.
It wasn't until Dayang Group's technology exploded that cold nuclear fusion became available recently, but it was revealed that it was still nuclear fusion.
At present, the energy utilization of the entire Zhoutian Galaxy has reached its ceiling, and nuclear fusion is the pinnacle.
As for the dark matter energy core, antimatter reactor, quasi-four-dimensional space-time tidal energy station, etc. in science fiction works, they only exist in fantasy.
In short, under the current real-world technology, it is almost difficult to improve the performance of the spacecraft on a large scale. Because energy itself is the biggest limitation. And various material technologies are derived from the means of refining, which has also almost touched the ceiling.
Currently, warships have two major energy consumption systems: the power system for hyperspace flight, and the weapon system. As for the energy consumed by the life support system, it can almost be ignored.
During normal navigation, the energy consumption of hyperspace flight accounts for almost 80% of the spacecraft's energy consumption; the remaining 20% is cooling, defense, etc.
During a spaceship battle, even if there is no hyperspace flight, the energy consumption of the weapon system can reach almost 60% of the spacecraft; the other 40% is the stability, defense, cooling, etc. of the spacecraft.
It can be seen that in the overall energy consumption, hyperspace flight is the largest contributor.
If there is a technology that can reduce the energy consumption of hyperspace flight by half, even if other technologies are not changed, the combat performance of the spacecraft can be improved by at least 60%. If the energy consumption is reduced to one-tenth of the original, even if other technologies are not changed
There is no progress at all, and there is no pressure at all to double the overall performance of the battleship.
What's more, if a space-time wave engine is really added, the maneuverability of the spacecraft will undergo an earth-shaking evolution.
Under everyone's exclamation and attention, Lin Yinghao proudly made a summary: "The space-time wave engine has completed inspection, and we are already starting to design the production line. It is expected to achieve mass production in up to three years!
The speed of the space-time wave engine, and the speed currently tested, is already five times that of the warp engine. When the technology matures, the speed will increase."
