Great Power Technology

One day less, one hundred red envelopes will be distributed in the group

.

.

The stars will always be there, and the human race will always be prosperous.

Familiar subtitles appeared in front of Ye Zhou's eyes, but every time he saw them, Ye Zhou would have a different feeling.

This should have been an extremely grand proposition. If he went back a few years, he could not even imagine what kind of connection he would have with it. But now, "Stars" has become a proposition that everyone is concerned about.

Will our star go out?

According to the inference of the adjacent dimension theory, when energy theft reaches a mature stage, even star-level energy will be lost. Although this loss cannot achieve the so-called "extinguishing" effect, the temperature and heat will be greatly reduced. For humans who rely on light and heat to survive, there is indeed no difference from "extinguishing".

Ye Zhou sighed lightly and entered the simulation selection interface. According to his plan, this time he will conduct a simulation related to the divertor. After completing this simulation, human beings' control of nuclear fusion will enter a new stage. , ultra-large-scale nuclear fusion becomes possible, and humans will be able to open the door to stellar-level fusion.

Of course, the so-called stellar level is actually just a romantic title. It represents giant, high-energy level fusion, rather than actually creating a star.

To achieve this step, humans still have a long way to go.

After entering the simulation selection interface, Ye Zhou opened the simulation plot about the divertor without hesitation. The title of the plot is called "Furnace", and the introduction is as short as one sentence:

"Heat the hearth until the house is warm."

Ye Zhou didn't understand the true meaning of this sentence, but he could probably guess that this simulation should be related to temperature, or climate.

In the last simulation, he saw a drop in global temperatures due to the invasion of adjacent dimensions, and the only way to change this situation was to create new high-temperature heat sources.

Humanity needs more and larger fusion devices. As for where these fusion devices are set up, we have to actually enter the simulation to see them.

Ye Zhou took a deep breath and selected the simulation plot. Then, everything he saw in front of him disappeared, and the two big characters "furnace" appeared in the darkness.

When Ye Zhou opened his eyes again, he found that he was still in darkness, with only stars twinkling in the distance.

He realized that he was lying on some kind of bed that conformed perfectly to his body, with restraints wrapped around his chest, and he became aware of his situation almost instantly, before the flow of information began to flow in.

This is on a spaceship - the light I saw just now was the starlight outside the porthole or the spaceship displayed on the projection screen.

Ye Zhou subconsciously wanted to untie the restraints on his body, but as his thoughts flashed, the restraints broke away automatically, and he also felt a small area of ​​slight numbness on his left temple.

As the data flow slowly came in, he gradually understood it all.

This is an extension of BCI technology. In this era, the connection between humans and tools has been strengthened to the point of almost omnipotence. Except for those actions that are necessary or are more suitable to be done by hand, all other things can be done by hand. This can be accomplished through the combination of BCI systems and machinery.

The lights gradually turned on, and the voice of artificial intelligence echoed in the empty spacecraft.

"Good morning, Ye Zhou, your sleep time yesterday was 7 hours and 12 minutes. The quality of your sleep has been declining in the past few days. I detected that you had multiple brain activation signals at night. Is it a nightmare?"

Ye Zhou was stunned for a moment, then answered:

"I don't have nightmares because I've been exercising less recently and my need for sleep has dropped. Let's resume the daily exercise plan today, turn on the air circulation system in the gym, and inject air."

In order to avoid unnecessary losses, artificial intelligence has set all idle spaces in the spacecraft to unmanned mode. The air is drained and all energy sources are turned off. They will only be enabled when needed.

"Understood, the oxygen injection is expected to be completed in three hours, and the power will be restored after entry. Also, do you need me to prepare breakfast for you today?"

Ye Zhou waved his hand.

"No need to prepare, I'll just drink some milk."

"Understood. Your protein intake has been significantly reduced recently, and your overall muscle strength has dropped by 1.7%. It is recommended that you start supplementing with protein."

"talk later."

Ye Zhou didn't respond too much, so the artificial intelligence could only send a signal to the central warehouse according to his request. After he stood up and walked a few steps, the screen of the corridor sank into a palm-sized hole, and a cup of heated milk appeared in the hole. , the composition information of this glass of milk appeared on the screen above the hole.

He took out the milk, drank it in one gulp, and then put the cup back into the hollow. A slight mechanical sound sounded, and the screen returned to its original state.

Ye Zhou did all this naturally, as if he had long been accustomed to it, but in fact, this was just an instinctive reaction formed by this body during the long voyage, and Ye Zhou's consciousness itself was actually still full of this. Curious about the futuristic scene.

He reached out and touched the screen again, and the hole opened again. This time, he carefully observed the structure in the hole, and found that it was actually a somewhat clever and convenient design. The back of the screen was directly connected to the warehousing and logistics track, which was hidden behind the screen. , as if appearing out of thin air.

From this point of view, this is not a technology beyond his cognition, but just a further squeeze on mankind's existing technology.

It seems that the invasion of adjacent dimensions has indeed greatly restricted the development of basic science - this seems understandable in the context of struggling for survival.

After walking out of the rest cabin, Ye Zhou came to the public space of the spacecraft, but to his surprise, the overall structure of the spacecraft was much smaller than he expected - he originally thought that a spaceship with a gym should have a complete life. The system is correct, but in fact, everything here seems very crowded. I am afraid that even the gym is just to maintain the basic health of the crew.

All this made him feel a little uneasy, because it was inconsistent with the basic rules of long-distance navigation.

"Morning."

Just when he was confused, someone from behind gently tapped his shoulder and greeted him.

Ye Zhou turned around and responded with a smile as well.

"Morning, have you finished your shift?"

Standing in front of him was the navigator of the spacecraft. According to Earth time, he was flying the "night shift" - of course, in this space at the edge of Jupiter's orbit, there is actually no clear concept of day and night. of.

"It's handed in. We still need to fly for the last two hours before we reach our scheduled assembly point."

"The Zhenghe is also close to the rendezvous point. The news we just received is that they have started orbiting. The 'stove' is working well. The channels in adjacent dimensions have begun to enrich. From the earth to here, the channel loss rate does not exceed 2%."

"This proves that our strategy is effective. Those things on the opposite side can indeed only make extremely rudimentary judgments on energy categories."

"The Zheng He is about to make a slingshot flight and is expected to reach its final destination two days early."

"Next, we have to see the actual effect of the reverse irrigation plan."

Ye Zhou nodded. The flow of information was still flowing in, but he already knew the mission of this spaceship, or the 12 spaceships with it.

They have used the Szilard enrichment effect to gather a small number of adjacent dimensional channels that appeared on the earth near the orbit of Jupiter over a period of nearly a year. Next, they will use the instantaneous high burst of energy impact to move the "water flow" "Pour it into the "water pump" on the opposite side and try to burst the water pump!

No one knows what the final result will be, but in the only experiment conducted on Earth, a megaton nuclear bomb did successfully close several adjacent dimensional channels and caused obvious channel chaos.

For as long as two hours, the distribution of adjacent dimensional channels on the entire earth showed a disordered state. There were a large number of channels gathered in the energy valley, and fusion power stations, large cities, etc. that should have been important targets. Near the beacon device, the adjacent dimensional passages almost disappeared without a trace.

This shows that energy backflow should have a certain impact on the layout of adjacent dimensional civilizations - at least, it can interrupt the full range of energy theft in a short period of time.

The opponent's water pump is obviously a matrix. When a certain unit in the matrix has a problem, the entire matrix needs to be shut down for maintenance.

So, is it possible to use absolutely abundant energy to directly blow up a water pump on the opposite side?

As a result, the reverse irrigation plan came into being.

The first thing that humans thought of was to use the power of stars, but they soon discovered that with the current level of human technology, the thermal energy of stars that they could use was "progressive". That is to say, even if the spacecraft could use a mobile beacon device to light the phase, The adjacent dimension channel is attracted to the sun, but the gradually increasing high-energy reaction will also make the enemies on the opposite side aware of it. They will actively close the channel or move the target to avoid danger.

What mankind needs is explosive energy, such as nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs.

However, even if all human power is gathered, it is still too difficult to create nuclear weapons sufficient to cause a sustained blow to adjacent dimensional passages.

The yield level of these nuclear weapons is like a candle and a large pond in front of the vast adjacent dimensional passage.

Therefore, there is only one choice left for mankind.

Potential energy, or gravity.

The initial solution is actually very simple, that is, to land a spacecraft on other planets, gather space channels to the surface of the planet, and then use other spacecraft to push the small satellites into the surface of the planet, triggering a big explosion, and then releasing them in a short time Huge amount of energy.

But this plan was quickly rejected. Although the plan itself has indeed achieved the effect of "four taels can move a thousand pounds", the problem is that even these four taels cannot be produced by humans.

Therefore, this plan was further upgraded, and humans focused on Jupiter.

There are more than 12 retrograde planet groups in the orbit of Jupiter, and these groups themselves have the risk of colliding with the prograde planet group. All humans need to do is to join their retrograde orbits and impose a small, as a driving force for perturbations.

The Carme, Valetudo, and Carpo retrograde planet groups came into human sight one after another. After a series of calculations, the Carme star group was finally selected, and the target it needed to hit was the most violent one among the Galilean stars.

Io, Io.

This is why the life system of this spacecraft is so crude.

Because all its space has been occupied by huge fusion engines, its only role is to use its own body to push the satellites in the Carme satellite group that generally exceed one kilometer in diameter, causing them to fall into the surface of Io. In the high temperature purgatory.

The energy released at that moment would exceed the combined yield of all human nuclear weapons—to be precise, it should be hundreds of times the total.

This is a crazy plan.

If this plan can bear fruit, then it is very likely that humanity's counterattack on the adjacent dimension will begin immediately.
