Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

May 18, 3300 in the Earth calendar.

It has been 24 years since we completed the Grand Unification Theory and entered the fifth-level civilization.

In the past 24 years, the Starship Factory has not stopped at all, and has worked overtime to complete various transformation tasks under Zero's control.

As Cao Liangcai said.

Before heading to a new star system, in addition to having curvature navigation technology, the fleet also needs to have some technology that can "protect itself".

These include but are not limited to gravity shields and various weapons and equipment.

There are not many supplies near the black hole that humans can use today, and the Forgotten Star is already the richest area nearby.

Therefore, in just 24 years, after the complete death of [Nus], various resources on the Forgotten Star were exploited to the maximum extent.

Of course, the curvature experiments did not stop during the fleet transformation process.

After various animals and plants have successfully experienced warp navigation, the first manned warp navigation has also been declared a success!

The successful establishment of the grand unified theory and the breakthrough of basic theories have once again brought human civilization into the era of technological explosion!

In just 24 years, under the guidance of Lu Yongchang, the Academy of Sciences has made several major scientific research results.

The successful breakthrough in gravitational field control technology has greatly enhanced the strength of the starship's gravitational shield.

At the same time, magnetic field shield technology has also achieved further breakthroughs.

Weapon systems are naturally no exception.

The miniaturization of gravitational field generating devices has also made curvature weapons a reality.

However, due to resource issues, not many of these powerful weapons were produced.

energy aspect.

The introduction of gravitational field technology has increased the power of the antimatter engine several times.

Under the combined influence of various factors, the maximum theoretical speed of the human fleet has also soared from 10c to 50c.

However, due to various reasons, in most cases, the fleet's sailing speed will still be maintained within 10c.

On the one hand, there are limitations of communication technology.

When the curvature navigation speed reaches more than 10c, the probabilistic decoherence phenomenon of entangled state quantum will rapidly increase and exceed the threshold of information repair.

Not to mention electromagnetic wave communication, electromagnetic waves propagating at the speed of light cannot even catch up with a starship entering a state of curvature.

Once the sailing speed exceeds 10c, the fleet will be completely lost.

On the other hand, there are issues of energy and materials.

The higher the curvature, the greater the energy consumption to maintain the curvature.

This is simply a fatal problem for today's human fleet.

In addition to the above technologies, artificial gravity technology has also been successfully implemented in the laboratory.

After learning the news, Lu Yongchang hesitated for a while and reluctantly gave up the idea of ​​applying it to all starships.

The reason is simple.

The scale of the renovation is too large and consumes too many materials.

In a sense, the cost of fully transforming a starship even exceeds the cost of rebuilding a starship.

Therefore, of the entire fleet, only some areas on the flagship [Earth] were equipped with artificial gravity facilities.

…

"The time has come."

"Resources are severely insufficient, and many scientific research tasks in the laboratory have been suspended."

Lu Yongchang stood in the [Earth] command center, feeling the comfort brought by artificial gravity, and said in a deep voice: "The fleet transformation work is basically completed."

"Humanity needs to find new star systems!"

After saying that, he turned around and glanced around. Seeing no one objected, he asked He Binin, who was sitting in the first row of seats.

"Academician He, has the selection of habitable star systems been completed?"

He Binin nodded and subconsciously reached out to touch the electromagnetic adsorption device on the side of the seat, but came up empty.

He stood up awkwardly, walked quickly to Lu Yongchang, and said loudly: "Currently, we already have mature planetary transformation technology, so I have relaxed the screening conditions for habitable planets."

As he spoke, he moved a few times in the holographic projection beside him.

A list of names and a star map were presented to everyone.

"Considering that the fleet's antimatter reserves are seriously insufficient, the fleet's first navigation target is the HIP3376 star system located 13.7 light-years away."

"According to our observations, the HIP3376 star system is a binary system composed of two red dwarf stars."

"Currently, no evidence of the existence of a planet has been observed."

“After the [Dyson Cloud] device is successfully deployed, the fleet will collect sufficient navigation energy within fifty years.”

The proposal to find a star system without planets to replenish energy actually came from Lu Yongchang.

Although human civilization has successfully promoted to level five civilization and has even mastered a small part of the technology of level five civilization, the combat power of human civilization, in a sense, is not even as good as that of the level four civilization.

energy!

The energy consumption of interstellar war is a terrifying value!

Whether it is a curvature engine or a gravitational shield, any equipment involving a gravitational field generating device is a large energy consumer.

Therefore, the remaining energy reserves of the human fleet today are simply impossible to support a vigorous interstellar war!

In star systems without planets, the probability of civilization being present is also greatly reduced.

After all, in the young universe, energetic stars can be found everywhere, and the scarce ones are actually planets that are habitable and capable of long-term development.

In addition, although the human fleet has undergone a small-scale transformation, these starships equipped with curvature engines are still satellite-class starships.

To have a planetary starship of level 5 civilization, human civilization still needs some time to develop and work hard.

"What's next?" Lu Yongchang raised his eyebrows, as if he realized something, "I remember that a lot of Dyson clouds were newly built at the starship factory some time ago. If they are all unfolded..."

"I'm afraid that a lot of antimatter can be produced in fifty years."

"Where is the final destination of the voyage?"

"Kepler 452, professor." He Bilin said in a calm tone, "The distance from the HIP3376 star system is 1539.2 light years."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a commotion in the command center.

1539.2 light years.

This is an extremely exaggerated distance.

At least, for the previous human civilization, this was a long journey that was enough to make people despair.

He Bilin added softly: "It only takes 154 years to travel at ten times the speed of light."

"Considering that supplies need to be replenished two or three times in the middle, it is conservatively estimated that the entire voyage will take about three hundred years."

Three hundred years!

It only takes three hundred years!

Looking at the numbers in front of him, Lv Yongchang's pupils trembled slightly. For the first time, he deeply experienced the transformation of human civilization.

"Kepler 452b?" After a moment of silence, Lv Yongchang asked back.

"Are you sure it exists?"

In the Earth era, Kepler 452b is a planet full of magical meaning.

This is the first potential super-Earth rocky planet discovered in human history. At the same time, various calculations show that this planet, like the Earth, is in the habitable zone of the star system!

This brought endless imagination to humans thousands of years ago.

But in the Earth era, due to the limitations of observation technology, humans have not been able to prove its existence, but only counted it as a candidate for an exoplanet.

After the solar helium flash, although the observation technology of human civilization is constantly improving, the long distance of more than 1,000 light years directly crushed the desire of the Academy of Sciences to carry out observations - it is better to consider how to avoid the crisis everywhere!
