In the hall, Aita's voice kept ringing.
"Course correction in progress, speed 84.37."
"Course correction completed, accelerating...speed 353."
"The aircraft continues to accelerate and will be broadcast every 30 seconds."
"The aircraft has been flying for 60 seconds and its speed has accelerated to 570."
"The aircraft has been flying for 90 seconds and the speed has accelerated to 930..."
The entire hall was silent, except for Aita who kept announcing the speed of the aircraft - she omitted the unit behind the number, but everyone knew that it was the standard kilometers per second.
At this time, the virtual projection also simulated a proportional modeling of the Earth-asteroid belt.
In the dark night sky, a small light spot representing a grain of rice is approaching the asteroid marked as the target from the direction of the Earth.
Time passed minute by minute.
Aita's voice continued to report calmly.
"The aircraft has been flying for 180 seconds and its speed has accelerated to 2990."
As the announcement ended, there was finally a low commotion in the hall.
2990 kilometers/second!
This number means that an aircraft built by humans has entered the realm of percentage light speed for the first time!
But Ye Ming's expression remained unchanged. He just looked at the small light spots in the projection quietly.
"The distance of the target is 4.8 astronomical units, which is 718 million kilometers. The electromagnetic wave transmission time takes 2393 seconds. The total flight time of the rice grains should be more than 8000 seconds, with 6000 seconds in between, which is a reaction time of nearly two hours."
Ye Ming turned to look at He Mo, who looked nervous before, but now stared at him: "It seems that the enemy's reaction time is enough."
He Mo heard this and immediately said: "Can't rice grains be tracked?"
"It can be tracked, but the faster the speed, the greater the G force, and the turning radius will be extremely large."
Ye Ming bit his lip: "It seems that in future space battles, releasing detectors and grasping the target's coordinates for head-on interception or pursuit will be the focus."
"...Where's the power?"
"There is no need to consider its power. No man-made building or even non-planetary celestial body can stop it - even if it just hits it, it can burst out with energy that destroys the world."
Ye Ming said and smiled: "According to the special theory of relativity, you will know just by doing the math."
He Mo: "..."
"Hmm... Although this method is powerful, it is still too primitive. It is okay for destroying relatively stationary buildings, but it is still a bit troublesome to destroy a fleet with strong maneuverability."
As he spoke, Ye Ming closed his eyes, his eyeballs beating constantly under his eyelids.
He Mo and Su Zi looked at each other, and then waved their hands to the other people in the hall who were getting restless, signaling everyone to be quiet and calm.
Time passed minute by minute, and when the rice grains accelerated to ten percent of the speed of light, Ye Ming opened his eyes again.
"You guys find me a quiet office. I want to discuss the design of a two-dimensional reactor stack with Professor Huo Laien and Lao Zhou."
He Mo immediately glanced nervously at the simulation screen in front of him, which had begun to display the remaining flight time - there were still 6,000 seconds left.
This guy who co-wrote can’t wait for 100 minutes?
"A two-dimensional reactor stack? What do you want to do?"
"I want to try to see if I can achieve curvature of rice grains - only by traveling faster than the speed of light can we preemptively strike."
Ye Ming stood up as he spoke.
He Mo and Su Zi looked at each other, and the latter immediately nodded and led Ye Ming to the next door.
"By the way, hold the teacup for me."
…
After sitting down in the office, Ye Ming took a sip of tea with just the right temperature, and then directly woke up Aita in the room.
"Aita, inform Professor Huo Laien, Professor Tang Ruchuan, Professor Ezio, Professor Zhou Xiangnan, Professor Tao Zegang, um...and Director Niu Jianjun, General Qin Jianguo, and Chief Engineer Gao Min, that the meeting will take place in 10 minutes."
"Okay, we're in contact."
"Su Zi, please take the minutes of the meeting later." Ye Ming said, looking at his wrist, and ordered: "Also, report the meeting to BOSS, so that he won't come to me later."
Su Zi pursed her lips and smiled, then nodded immediately: "What about planning the meeting now?"
"Yeah." Ye Ming nodded, then closed his eyes and started thinking quickly.
After a while, a virtual conference room space descended into the office.
Director Niu was the first to join the meeting. As soon as his virtual projection popped up, his voice sounded in the room: "I thought you went to the bathroom, why is there a meeting suddenly?"
"The main consideration is that we cannot proceed step by step. Now that 2D packaging has been successful, we must immediately start the next step."
"Next step?" In the picture, Director Niu, who is currently at the headquarters in the provincial capital of Taiyue, was waiting for time with a cup of tea in his hands - he was also remotely watching the command hall in the office - and was startled when he heard this. He immediately put down the teacup and his eyes became intense: "Do you want to go faster than light?"
Ye Ming nodded slowly.
"Damn it...is this step too big? Have the technical problems been solved?"
"So today I plan to push it forward and solve it."
While talking, the picture in the projection flashed, and Zhou Xiangnan's figure also appeared. Seeing Director Niu and Ye Ming, Zhou Xiangnan was startled, and then smiled and said: "Hello Director Niu, I thought it was an academic conference."
"Professor Zhou, I didn't disturb your rest, right?" Director Niu looked at Zhou Xiangnan and responded with a smile: "Where are you flying to now?"
Zhou Xiangnan laughed: "You ask this, I really don't know... Anyway, I have been in the spaceship every day, and I am completely in a daze."
"Well, let's have a good get-together after your triumphant return."
During the chat, other people also came online, and even Professor Ezio appeared in his pajamas.
But when the experts and professors present saw that Director Niu, General Qin, and the senior engineer in charge of general equipment were present at the meeting, those with a keen sense of smell knew that this meeting was probably not as simple as an ordinary academic meeting.
"Let's solve the secret first." Ye Ming looked at General Qin and Director Niu: "Otherwise, we won't be able to open this meeting."
Director Niu and General Qin looked at each other, then nodded.
The two of them were notified by He Mo personally, so they naturally knew why Ye Ming hurriedly called everyone for a meeting.
"I'm on the moon now. Just half an hour ago, we test-fired mankind's first sub-light speed missile." Ye Ming looked at Professor Ezio and others, paused and said: "There is still about an hour and a half, the missile The missile will hit a metallic asteroid in the asteroid belt 780 million kilometers away."
In the picture, except for Professor Huo Laien, the other scientists' faces immediately showed surprise, especially Zhou Xiangnan, who was extremely excited.
But everyone still didn't speak, but waited for Ye Ming's next words.
"There is no doubt about the power of rice grains. The impact of its body alone can directly destroy an asteroid with a diameter of five kilometers. But as a strike weapon, its speed is still a little too slow."
Ye Ming took a deep breath as he spoke: "Some people may already know that the enemy we are about to face has super-light strike weapons."
At this time, Professor Huo Laien said in a deep voice: "Is it a tachyon aggregation beam?"
Ye Ming nodded: "Assuming it is a tachyon, then it is a tachyon."
"According to the tachyon model, its speed will have the highest energy when it is infinitely close to the speed of light, and cannot be reduced to the speed of light - then it is naturally faster than all our weapons, faster than the speed of light, and can even Achieve super light cone strike!"
As Ye Ming's voice fell, everyone's faces were filled with solemnity.
The light cone of time is the basis for human beings to experience the entire universe.
If there really is such a super-light weapon, then... humans cannot detect it until the energy of the weapon reaches the earth, or reaches human battleships.
The super light cone strike will make you die without being noticed.
"Unfortunately, even if the Blue Star people master strange substances, they cannot achieve super-light strikes."
"But thankfully, we actually have the theoretical basis for super-light speed."
"Curvature."
Ye Ming took a deep breath and looked at Professor Huo Laien and Professor Tang Ruchuan - these two scientists have made the most achievements in the field of multidimensional space so far.
"We have hypothesized about curvature spacecraft before, but the energy required to change the curvature is limited by mass, so this idea only remains in theory."
As he spoke, Ye Ming unfolded his tablet and shared a simple composition into the virtual screen.
"It doesn't need to be big, or even need to carry an additional energy source to cause damage. We only need to send it accurately into the designated target - such as the structure of the spacecraft, and then we can rely on the high-dimensional space it expands. membrane to complete the swallowing of three-dimensional objects, and then destroy the structure of its spacecraft."
Following Ye Ming's explanation, Director Niu's eyes suddenly lit up!
Isn't this the upgraded version of rice grains that Ye Ming said at last year's joint conference?
"To achieve super-light curvature changes and displacements, theoretically, we need all the curvatures of the three-dimensional space. Even the smallest inconsistencies in the curvature parameters may lead to differences of thousands of miles. This requires that we must Get a complete understanding of the space you’re in. Of course, it’s not too difficult.”
"The real difficulty lies in energy. I just made a simple calculation. If we want to drive a neutron configuration the size of a bottle of mineral water to super-light speed - assuming a displacement of twice the speed of light, then the energy it requires will be two times. The power generation capacity of the most powerful controllable nuclear fusion power station to date.”
"Obviously, it is unrealistic to install two controllable nuclear fusion power stations as big as Shanghai No. 1 into a two-dimensional membrane - even if we have enough patience to complete the two-dimensional configuration and then two-dimensionalize it, this Time is also measured in ten years.”
Ye Ming said, looking at Ezio, Zhou Xiangnan and others - they are leaders in the field of two-dimensional materials.
"But if we can realize the stacking of two-dimensional space reactors, or solve all the problems in two-dimensional reactors, we can quickly build such an energy source."
"Now, there is only one biggest problem in two-dimensional reactors, which is the heat death problem in two-dimensional space."
Ye Ming took a deep breath and scanned everyone one by one, finally stopping on Zhou Xiangnan's face.
Zhou Xiangnan has been listening carefully since Ye Ming started presiding over the meeting. After all, he is the least senior person in this meeting.
But just because he has low qualifications does not mean that his ability is low.
In fact, when he heard Ye Ming talking about rice grains, he knew that Ye Ming might want to make super-light rice grains!
who is he?
He is the gossip king in the brain-computer center! He knows a lot of what Ye Ming is doing!
Otherwise, he would not have shifted his direction to the field of two-dimensional materials and directly aimed at the field of two-dimensional energy!
And when Ye Ming looked at himself for the last time, Zhou Xiangnan's heartbeat accelerated instantly.
He almost blurted out: "Establish a high-dimensional vent in the two-dimensional space brane!"
"Yes!" Ye Ming nodded: "This is also the most effective way to solve the heat death problem in limited two-dimensional space that I can think of so far - but the only problem is..."
"Model, we don't have a mathematical model that directly spans two dimensions, we can only try."
As he spoke, Ye Ming looked at Director Niu and General Qin again.
“And because there is no model, no one knows what will happen if we make a trial and error.”
…
Facing Ye Ming's gaze, Director Niu and General Qin closed their mouths tightly at the same time.
Even if they don't understand mysterious things like dimensional space theory, they still know... Once this thing goes wrong, it may cause an unmanageable situation - when a high-dimensional space is opened in a low-dimensional space, the consequences if it gets out of control are even worse than those caused by man-made things. The singularity is even more serious!
Now more than one academic school is warning the scientific direction of mankind, saying that we should be wary of the use of two-dimensional and high-dimensional space, especially the two-dimensional space membrane. Once this thing gets out of control, it is very likely to make the entire solar system two-dimensional. ——At the very least, the moon will be two-dimensional.
what does that mean?
This means that the moon will be directly two-dimensionalized into a photo by that thin two-dimensional space film that looks harmless to humans and animals!
Some scholars have even suggested that this two-dimensionalization may not be terminated or reversed, but will expand infinitely, swallowing up everything it touches.
You said, now Ye Ming proposes to open a high-dimensional space membrane exit in the two-dimensional space leading to the four-dimensional space...
this……
What if?
At this moment, Aita's voice suddenly sounded in the room.
"Received high-dimensional detector information, do you want to read it?"
Everyone was slightly stunned, especially Ye Ming, who frowned instantly - Aita was very sensible and would never disturb him when he was in a meeting.
What does it mean today?
But immediately, Professor Huo Laien opposite asked in a deep voice: "Is it a multi-space curvature detector?"
"Yes."
Professor Huo Laien took a breath instantly. The multi-space curvature detector is a detector built by his team with the assistance of Uda for the coordinates of the entire detected wormhole network.
It was just sent into high-dimensional space just a month ago.
Its function is very simple, which is to detect gravitational waves from the galaxies where the wormholes are located - if they are emitted near the wormhole, it means that someone has crossed the star gate.
Then, Professor Huo Laien's voice trembled slightly.
"Did you detect the abnormal curvature of the wormhole?"
"yes."
As Aita's voice fell, Ye Ming's eyes shrank instantly!
The enemy...is coming?
