Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Earth calendar year 3760.

The space rift manufacturing technology is approaching maturity, and the longest survival time can reach 10 minutes, and the flight speed has also been extended from 500c to 600c.

The killing range of 100 light hours is not far, but it is enough to replace various close-range weapons on human civilization warships.

As for ultra-long-range strikes...

Yevgeni also proposed a proposal.

Directly integrate the space rift generation device into the curvature missile, so that human civilization can launch space attacks on targets hundreds of light years away.

Of course, as of now, this is just a proposal.

Before mastering a more powerful grand unified field generation device and a higher-power antimatter pile, integrating space weapons into curvature missiles is still an unattainable goal.

Yevgeni naturally knows this.

He quickly proposed an alternative plan without giving up.

Build a batch of disposable small unmanned warships equipped with space weapons.

These small warships are not large in size, with an average size of 500 to 800 meters.

According to Yevgeny's plan, these small warships will only carry a space rift manufacturing device in addition to a large number of antimatter reactors and some basic functional modules.

Although they are a little larger, they can already complete the work of curvature space missiles - launching space attacks on targets hundreds of light years away.

This attack is a one-time attack and the cost is extremely high.

But in any case, human civilization has a little trump card.

On the other hand, after a small breakthrough in the grand unified field technology, Wilson has also become a busy man.

The power of energy weapons is strongly related to the strength of the grand unified field. Therefore, compared with Yevgeny, Wilson is only busier and happier at this time.

The Academy of Sciences' reserved program has come to an end, which even made the researchers in the weapons research and development department feel a little regretful.

...

In addition to a small breakthrough in the grand unified field technology, the research and development of space weapons has also led to a breakthrough in space-time theory.

As a new generation of academicians specializing in space-time theory, Lin Yongnian also proved his strength to Lv Yongchang and Fang Xu during the research and development process.

He not only successfully incorporated the phenomenon of space-time fault into the original space-time theory system, but also greatly filled the gaps in the original space-time theory.

More importantly.

Through the study of the phenomenon of space rift, he proposed several further applications related to space-time theory.

[Space-time trap technology]

The prototype of this technology had already appeared during the decisive battle of the Enroget civilization.

By applying stimulation to key space-time nodes, the resonance of the space-time ocean is triggered, thereby limiting the opponent's curvature engine and space weapons.

After the space-time theory was further improved, Lin Yongnian found that this technology that triggers space-time resonance did not interfere with space weapons seriously.

As long as the "depth" of the space rift exceeds a critical value, the impact of space-time resonance on it will tend to be flat.

Simply put, in that decisive battle, humans were lucky.

If it were a real space weapon, or if the energy power of the Enroget civilization was several times higher, the shallow space-time tsunami created by human civilization would not have any effect at all.

This does not mean that space-time resonance technology is useless.

In the report submitted by Lin Yongnian, the [space-time trap] based on the space-time resonance effect has an extremely strong restrictive effect on the curvature engine.

As long as the enemy cannot crack the fluctuation law of the [space-time trap], they cannot enter the curvature navigation state.

For human civilization, even if they are in the [space-time trap], through specific algorithms, they can still ensure the low-power operation of the curvature engine-traveling at a low light speed of less than 1c.

The effect is similar to the tripwire in the ancient times of human civilization.

At the beginning, the opponent's "horse" was surrendered.

Regardless of whether this technology can be realized, at least, Lu Yongchang was very satisfied when he saw this plan.

You understand the human alliance.

The second one is the enhanced version of the space rift based on the space-time theory system.

[Space annihilation].

It is somewhat similar to the principle of space-time resonance. By applying external force to several key space-time nodes, the flat space-time is directly damaged.

Just like hitting the edge of explosion-proof glass with a hammer.

Theoretically, the lethality of this space fragmentation phenomenon is extremely huge!

It can directly crush any object inside the target space to the atomic level!

From ancient times to the present, attacking is always the simplest.

Therefore, although Lin Yongnian proposed several plans to apply space-time theory to weapons, he did not have much idea about how to defend against these attacks.

Lv Yongchang was not in a hurry, but asked Lin Yongnian to study the several plans at hand thoroughly first.

After all, the space-time theory mastered by humans is still in its primary state. When the theory is broken through, the necessary technology will appear.

Of course, after sending Lin Yongnian away to report to the office, Lv Yongchang also entered the technology tree space again.

After a few years of precipitation, the technology and theory mastered by the Academy of Sciences have increased day by day.

The originally extremely dim technology tree now has some bright light at the bottom.

Lv Yongchang turned his attention to the middle trunk area of ​​the technology tree.

The theory of space-time constitutes the main trunk of the sixth-level civilization technology tree. On this trunk, there is a cursor with a brightness of less than 20%.

The handwriting on it is also very blurred, but the word "shield" can be vaguely seen.

Undoubtedly, this is a defense method for the sixth-level civilization.

Looking at the cursor whose brightness has hardly changed in the past few years, Lv Yongchang couldn't help but feel a little confused.

The technology on the same trunk has more or less changed in brightness in the past few years - the change at the top of the technology tree is relatively small, and the change at the bottom area is relatively large.

Only this cursor involving defense methods has not changed much.

Is it because of insufficient understanding of space-time?

Or is it because of the lack of some crucial pre-technology?

Lv Yongchang was a little puzzled.

Because the brightness of the cursor is too low, it is not convenient for him to force the technology tree system to analyze it.

In desperation, he can only temporarily put the defense method aside.

He has more important things to do now.

...

The breakthrough in basic theory has brought unprecedented "vitality" to the Academy of Sciences.

This is true for weapons research and development departments, and even more so for other departments.

The simultaneous breakthroughs in the grand unified field and space-time theory have led to a surge in the number of papers and research results recently published by the Academy of Sciences.

The same is true for the Optical Computer Research and Development Center led by Academician Mo Zeyang.
