Universe dominance

Once such technology is mastered, communication and communication between various galaxies in the empire will become very convenient, and the time spent will be greatly reduced. The empire's control of each galaxy and the dispatch of power can also be greatly improved. Of course, more Importantly, it also means that the empire can continue to expand its territory in the universe.

"Brother Fu, please look."

Seeing Li Fu's anxious look, Chen Bin stopped playing tricks and turned on the supercomputer in the laboratory nearby. A star map appeared on the monitor. On this star map, lines connected the galaxies and combined them into a star map. Huge network map.

"Galaxies that are relatively close to each other are connected by space and time. We all know that through the ocean currents of space and time, we can cross long distances at speeds exceeding the speed of light, and we can easily reach another galaxy."

"However, through the time we have recorded over the years for spacecraft traveling within the empire to and from the currents of time and space, we have gradually discovered some patterns."

"No matter how fast the spacecraft enters the space-time ocean current, the time it takes to pass through the space-time ocean current is the same. That is to say, whether it enters at a speed of 100 kilometers per second or 500 kilometers per second, in fact, They are all the same. Of course, this is most likely because the speed is too fast. In the face of speeds that are several times faster than the speed of light, this speed difference is simply insignificant. "

Chen Bin enlarged the diagram of space-time ocean currents and began to explain it in detail.

"Another point is that in the space-time ocean current, entering it at both ends at the same time will not collide in the space-time ocean current, nor will they meet each other. We speculate that it should be similar to the situation on a highway, although it is The same space-time ocean current, but they should have different directions, so they will not collide in the space-time ocean current."

"The speed of a spacecraft in the space-time ocean currents generally depends on the distance between two galaxies. Generally, the farther the distance, the faster the space-time ocean currents. The speed of each space-time sample is different. "

As Chen Bin explained, the space-time ocean current map connecting the two galaxies on the entire star map also started to flow. At the same time, with text beside it, you can directly know the research on space-time patterns by imperial scientists over the years.

"Of course, until now, we still have many, many things that we don't understand about space-time ocean currents. For example, why are there space-time ocean currents between galaxies?"

"Where do meteorites, asteroids, etc. come from in the ocean currents of time and space?"

"Why are there no space-time ocean currents connecting galaxies beyond a certain distance?"

"There are many questions like this, and so far we have not come up with a convincing answer, such as why the universe exists, how it was born and evolved, and the universe we observe now is still too small. If it is too small, it is impossible to understand the nature of the universe by sitting in a well and looking at the sky.”

Chen Bin sighed softly. The more he knew about the universe, the more he was in awe of the universe. There were too many, too many secrets in the vast and boundless universe waiting for him to discover.

Li Fu nodded while listening to Chen Bin's explanation quietly, but in his mind he was making comparisons with the information contained in the civilization seeds of the super-civilized Han Technological Empire.

In the universe where the Han Technology Empire is located, there is no space-time ocean current connection between galaxies. Therefore, ordinary civilizations can only truly gallop in the universe after they have developed warp engines. There is no universe that has mastered warp engine technology. Civilizations can only circle within their own home galaxy.

It will not be like the current situation in our empire. There are time-space ocean current alliances between galaxies. Therefore, even civilizations that have just left their home star can travel among the stars and occupy multiple galaxies. Therefore, the entire Orion The spiral arms were all divided up by the civilizations that developed first.

"Have you developed a warp engine?"

Thinking of this, Li Fu's eyes suddenly lit up. The warp engine is a truly powerful power technology for interstellar navigation. With the warp engine, there is no need to pass through the ocean currents of time and space, and it can travel very far. Across distant galaxies in a short time.

"Brother Fu, you think too highly of us. The warp engine is still in the theoretical stage. I don't know how long it will take before it is manufactured. However, this time's scientific and technological achievements are also related to some results obtained in warp engine research. "

Chen Bin shook his head. As the president of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, he was very aware of the latest developments in the various disciplines under the Imperial Academy of Sciences. The warp engine is a new power technology that the empire is currently concentrating its efforts on researching. But it is still only in the theoretical stage.

"When we were studying space-time ocean currents, some scientists asked whether the space-time ocean currents would be the same as those in the planet's oceans. If we could develop a space-time ocean current sail, could we speed up the space-time ocean currents? , greatly reducing the time it takes to pass through space-time ocean currents.”

Chen Bin continued to control the computer to simulate the space-time ocean currents. A pattern of space-time ocean currents appeared on the monitor, and the colorful world of streamers within the space-time ocean currents appeared.

"According to theories related to warp engines, curvature flight, etc., space can be folded infinitely. As long as two distant spaces can be folded, and then pass through the folding point, it can be folded in a very short time. Arrive at the other side.”

"In layman's terms, they are two points on a piece of paper. Normal walking means flying in a straight line on the paper. Space folding means folding the two points together and making a hole in the back. You can reach another point in a very short distance.”

To improve the warp engine technology, Chen Bin gave a brief explanation of the warp speed on the computer. This seems very simple, but when you really study it, it is not that easy at all. The space is illusory and ethereal. No where to start.

Although the empire has concentrated many outstanding scientists and resources on this, it is still only in the theoretical research stage. I don’t know how many various experiments have been done, but there is still no substantial progress.

"What does this warp engine research have to do with space-time ocean current sails?"

When Li Fu heard this, he frowned and started thinking. Li Fu himself is a top scientist. Although he is now the emperor of the empire, Li Fu spends at least half of his day in the laboratory. They are very good at all aspects of technology.

"Of course it is related. Although our warp engine has not achieved any major breakthroughs, it has achieved some small results, such as adding intervention to space."

"So after some scientists put forward such a conjecture and idea at that time, we carried out experiments and actions. We installed some equipment on the spacecraft that can intervene in space, and then activated this equipment when passing through the space-time ocean currents. Unexpectedly, the speed of space-time ocean currents suddenly increased by more than ten times.”

Chen Bin smiled proudly, and then began to simulate the working principle of this space-time ocean current sail on the computer.

I saw a spaceship flying in the normal void. There were two wing-like things on both sides of the spacecraft that were constantly inciting. The surrounding space began to ripple like water waves.

"Even if it is flying in the normal void, the speed and flexibility of a spacecraft equipped with a space-time ocean current sail have been improved to a certain extent. This space-time ocean current sail can directly apply force to space, thus It's like a paddle moving through the water, which can generate power to speed up the spacecraft."

“Theoretically, if this technology can continue to develop, it should be studied as a power technology alone. However, we have only scratched the surface, and it is not enough to use this technology as a power technology alone. "

Li Fu stared at the screen tightly, while Chen Bin next to him continued to explain.

"This kind of space-time ocean current sail is still relatively limited in the acceleration of the spacecraft in normal void. However, when the spacecraft equipped with this kind of space-time ocean current sail enters the space-time ocean current, it can generate more energy. The powerful thrust shortens the time for the spacecraft to pass through the ocean currents of space and time by more than ten times. "

The picture suddenly changed following Chen Bin's words, turning into a simulated space-time ocean current picture. In the picture, on both sides of the spaceship, the space-time ocean current sails were constantly swinging, and the space ripples in the space-time ocean current were like turbulent waves, completely It is not comparable to the small water waves in the normal void.

Although there is no specific method to measure the speed of the spacecraft in the space-time ocean currents, the speed of the spacecraft can only be calculated through time when it passes through the space-time ocean currents and finally reaches the other end. However, as the space-time ocean currents sail in the space-time ocean currents, As he continued to work, the speed of the colorful stream of light in the space-time ocean current suddenly increased several times. Obviously, this speed suddenly accelerated many times.

"A space-time ocean current sail that directly acts on space?"

Li Fu read it carefully from beginning to end, thinking carefully about the work of this space-time ocean current sail. This space-time ocean current sail has little effect in the normal void, but in the space-time ocean current, its ability It seems to be magnified countless times at once, and it can actually greatly increase the speed of the spacecraft through the ocean currents of time and space.

"This is generally related to the particularity of the space-time ocean current itself. Ordinary spaceships flying into it can quickly reach distant galaxies. This kind of space-time ocean current sail that can directly exert force on space obviously has the same function. was amplified.”

PS: The time and space ocean current sail was an opinion given to me by a book friend, thank you very much!
