Road to science and technology

Back to business!

Yue Yuanzhou had already collected himself and began to think about it, "The value of 185,000 kilometers is compared with the radius of the earth. The radius of the earth is 6371 kilometers, which means that each time you can only move in space within thirty times the radius of the earth. , in fact, it can only be within the scope of the earth. Is this short-range wormhole technology? This cannot meet the requirements of ultra-long-distance space navigation at all."

Yue Yuanzhou looked at the void of the universe outside the spacecraft and suddenly felt a little dazed. Since there were no other reference objects around him, he thought it was in a stationary state with the naked eye and senses. Now that it has entered the deceleration stage, he clearly felt an inertial force.

He looked at the void for a while and thought to himself: "This time value of 0.618 happens to be the golden ratio. Is this a coincidence or arranged? More than 18 kilometers... Sun Wukong somersaults 108,000 miles! This... shouldn't be a coincidence !”

With this in mind, he looked at the short-range wormhole technology model that he had calculated countless times, and sighed: "Short-range wormhole technology, Fibonacci sequence, Fibonacci spiral."

Yes, this model of short-range wormhole technology, if viewed from only one side, happens to be a pattern composed of Fibonacci spirals, and the appearance of this model is drawn through the golden section, one in a three-dimensional space Fibonacci spiral structure.

On the surface, this structure looks like the snail shell we usually see, and the complete body of this model is the fusion of the smallest points of the two middle parts. The openings of the snail shell at both ends are the entrance and exit of the wormhole.

Now the distance between the entrance and the exit can only be so far. Once it exceeds this range, it will fail due to the difference in information about establishing the wormhole at both ends, causing the wormhole to fail to open.

"I didn't expect this thing to come out! Now it seems that if you want to realize ultra-long-distance wormhole travel, the prerequisite is to break this time demonstration, which means that you must solve the problem of ultra-distance communication. This seems to be coming back again! "

I want to use unique space technology to break the barrier of light speed, but I am stuck at the speed of light. This universe seems to have been set up, and various technologies are linked one by one.

"It's not that easy to use a certain technology as a barrier to break through other shortcomings! But this can be regarded as harvesting a derivative technology. This technology is indeed very practical for short-distance movement." Yue Yuanzhou looked away, unless he directly obtained it A certain technology fills a shortcoming.

After a year of deceleration, Yuanxing finally slowed down from 30% of the speed of light to the current 0.1% of the speed of light, and reached the edge of the yellow dwarf galaxy numbered TRAPXXX-1.

The current location of the Yuanxing is near the seventh planet in the outermost part of the galaxy. It is still 0.0321 astronomical units away from the target fourth planet, which is 4,802,160 kilometers away. .

If we now head towards the target at 0.1% of the speed of light or 0.001 times the speed of light, it will take almost 4.5 hours, so Yue Yuanzhou plans to use another navigation method.

"Using short-range wormhole technology as a navigation method only requires 25.919 jumps. In other words, if the maximum distance is reached each time, 26 jumps can reach the target planet." Yue Yuanzhou said and walked towards the driver's seat. , started to activate the short-range wormhole, of course he would not really jump 26 times, but 25 times, because the last distance was reserved for the Yuanxing to slow down.

"Shenwei 2.0, start, calculate and construct the entrance and exit of the wormhole, calculation completed. Charging, charging completed, entrance coverage: Yuanxing, exit distance is 185271 kilometers, short-range wormhole calculation completed. Jump begins!"

In a cosmic starry sky with a yellow dwarf star as the background, a spacecraft about one hundred meters long disappeared out of thin air on the spot, and then appeared directly more than 185,200 kilometers away. If someone has good eyesight, If you do this, you can see that the spacecraft is teleporting, and its disappearance and appearance are almost simultaneous.

After the spacecraft appeared at a distance of more than 185,200 kilometers, it disappeared again after 0.618 seconds, and then reappeared at the same distance away.

So this scene appeared in this galaxy that perhaps no one has ever set foot on. A 110-meter-long spaceship with a shape similar to a melon seed, like the legendary teleportation, flashed regularly within the scope of this star system. .

If any civilization observes this scene, they will surely quickly discover this pattern, that is, the spacecraft flashes forward in a straight line, and the interval between each appearance and disappearance is 0.618 seconds.

Although the Yuanxing was actually moving during the time between its appearance and disappearance, due to the short distance between worlds and the starry sky as the background image, it was indeed difficult to find a reference object to compare the sailing distance of this short period of time. , so it looked like the Yuanxing was like a technological artifact that was teleporting with a metallic sheen, flashing a long series of shadows continuously within 15.45 seconds.

If an observer looks at it from the target planet, the effect of this continuous ghost shadow will be more obvious, because from this angle, the time when the protostar, which is more than 4.8 million kilometers away, is seen is 16.018 seconds later. As the original star continues to flash closer, the time interval observed during the period will become shorter and shorter. If the Yuan star starts to move as soon as it appears at a distance of more than 4.8 million kilometers, when the Yuan star flashes 25 times, When it appeared in the eyes of this observer, the time had passed 15.45 seconds. Of course, it cannot be calculated like this. It also takes time for the Yuanxing to enter and exit the wormhole. However, due to the fast movement of the Yuanxing, this time becomes very short. That is to say, the time interval between the observer discovering the Yuansongxing 480,000 kilometers away and the Yuansongxian appearing in front of him is about 1 second. He will observe that the Yuansongxing appears at 25 flash points almost at the same time. , he would not be able to tell whether these were twenty-five yuan stars. Seeing from here, within a short range, Yue Yuanzhou had mastered a method of movement that was close to the speed of light through trickery.

If they were a civilization that had just looked from their own planet to space, they might have exclaimed, this is god-like technology!

Because in their perception, flying out of their own planet to explore the starry sky in their own star system is already out of reach, let alone this flickering navigation method.

But no one appreciates this picture now, because after Yuanxing drove the Yuanxing in about 25 flashes and took about 16 seconds to arrive near the planet, after careful detection, he found that the third star of the star system was There is no sign of life on the surface of the four planets, let alone civilization.

Yes, to be precise, it should be 15.8 seconds. Yue Yuanzhou crossed 4.8 million kilometers. The problem of this seemingly fast way of traveling has also been highlighted, that is, the energy consumption is huge, and this limit time shift It puts a huge strain on the equipment.

In just ten seconds, the fuel consumed by the Yuanxing was almost equal to the fuel used to accelerate the spacecraft to 30% of the speed of light in one year. Of course, this also required the super celestial computer Shenwei 2.0 The energy used in the operation is taken into account.

If Yue Yuanzhou uses his own nuclear engine to provide energy for the calculations of Shenwei 2.0, the amount will be much lower, but even so, this method is still not suitable for ultra-long-distance navigation.

"It's very suitable for combat use, and it doesn't need to jump to the extreme distance every time." Yue Yuanzhou is quite satisfied with this derived technology.

"It's a frozen world. Since the signal comes from here, let's explore it closely!"

Yue Yuanzhou drove the Yuanxing directly towards the frozen planet. At the same time, he said to the whale eye that had been fixed in front of the cockpit: "Since it is the fourth planet in the TRAPXXX-1 yellow dwarf star system, then Record it as a T4 planet!"

"Roger~" Whale Eyes made an electronic sound.

The planet T4 is located exactly in the habitable zone defined by humans. It has an atmosphere, of which oxygen accounts for 12.8%, and the rest is mainly nitrogen. The density of the atmosphere is slightly greater than that of the Earth, and its radius is 1.37 times that of the Earth. Its orbit The cycle lasts for 208 days, and the temperature near the poles is around minus 100 degrees Celsius all year round.

Since the angle with the ecliptic plane of its main sequence stars is only 1.2 degrees, there is basically no difference between spring, summer, autumn and winter. Its equator is therefore uniformly illuminated by main sequence stars, and the average temperature is much higher than other places.

Thank you to the giants who send you recommendations and monthly tickets every day. Hehe... In fact, it is already the third world. I hope you all learn to truly spacewalk.
