"Warp...engine?!"
The wizards present were stunned for a moment, and then they thought about what this so-called curvature engine was.
Lin En did not explain directly, but looked at the two people who had just spoken and spoke. "Master Dennis and Speaker Anthony, your ideas are very insightful and have the possibility of implementation, but there are also many problems..."
The first is Anthony's electromagnetic acceleration method!
I have to say that this is indeed a very interesting idea. It uses the Coulomb force of a strong magnetic field to continuously provide power to the spacecraft. Just like the strong magnetic field tunnel of a particle collider, the speed of the spacecraft will increase by one every time it goes around. Grade...
But the closer it gets to the speed of light, the more terrifying the energy consumed will be. Even if he personally creates a super large electromagnetic accelerator using the sun as a magnet, it will only accelerate the spacecraft to about one-tenth of the speed of light at most.
Although this is already very fast, it still does not meet the needs of interstellar navigation.
The most important thing is that the acceleration and deceleration of the spacecraft will be very problematic. They cannot wait for the spacecraft to circle around the sun hundreds of times every time they sail. By that time, the enemy will have already attacked.
Dennis's method is even simpler, the same as the previous explosive thruster. What stands out is a big brick flying. In theory, using the energy waves generated by nuclear explosions or even antimatter explosions can indeed increase the speed of the spacecraft to a terrifying level.
Just where to find materials that can continue to withstand hundreds of millions of degrees of high temperature and ultra-high pressure is a problem that is currently difficult to solve. You must know that even the spacecraft shell material they intercepted cannot last long under the cutting of the [Antimatter Sword].
Under Lin En's explanation and analysis, Harrov and others who were about to agree with these two plans immediately became hesitant. Dennis and Anthony also frowned. Of course, they were also aware of these shortcomings, but they were already The most reliable method they could think of.
"Then I wonder what your warp engine uses as the driving force?" Dennis asked in a deep voice.
Curvature... This is an Olympian term, which usually indicates the degree of deviation of a curve from a straight line. It is very common in differential equations.
Harrov and Vittorio vaguely thought of something.
"Do you still remember how the other party achieved super-speed movement when we fought with Ella?" Linn asked with a smile.
Ella's speed is actually not much faster than them. The reason why they feel "unbelievably fast" is because the opponent changes the curvature of space and shortens the distance!
Being able to directly control time and space through magic and mental power is their greatest technological advantage compared to traditional technological civilization!
Lin En still has a say in this matter. The technological level of the Federation in the previous life has actually reached the minimum requirements of interstellar civilization. The technology is at least several levels higher than theirs. They are still struggling to find a truly stable and controllable gravity. Worrying about the source, let alone being able to control space at a subtle level like a wizard!
If used well, there may not be any possibility of overtaking in corners!
"In addition, I think the upper limit of the curvature engine is very high. It is the only way I can think of to achieve faster than light speed!" Linn said decisively.
Since you want to build a spacecraft, of course you must choose the propulsion device with the most potential!
Moreover, the resources of the parliament are limited, and they don’t have much time. They only have enough time to specialize in one direction!
"But, I remember you said that the speed of light is the upper limit of the speed of the universe..." A great wizard said eagerly.
At first, he felt that this theory was not very reliable, especially the faster the speed, the slower the flow of time. Even the concept of time stopping after reaching the speed of light can only be described as outrageous. So after hearing Lin En mention super-light speed, he immediately Got excited.
Either quantum theory is wrong, or this curvature engine is unreliable!
"The so-called insurmountable speed of light is based on the nature of three-dimensional space itself. Any object with mass can only stop at sub-light speed, but the curvature engine is different..." Lin En replied with a smile.
In order for everyone present to clearly understand the meaning, Lin En reached out and tapped lightly on the round tabletop. The next moment, the wooden tabletop immediately became as soft as plasticine.
"Let's assume it's a spaceship..." Linn used elements to combine a ten-centimeter spaceship model, and then let it move forward at a speed of one centimeter per second.
When the spaceship model was halfway through the voyage, Linn tapped his index finger again, and the speed of the spacecraft suddenly increased by more than ten times!
Those present were all great wizards, and they could naturally see that the speed of the spacecraft itself had not changed at all, only the desktop had changed.
The space in front was pulled closer, while the space behind was stretched, one after the other, pushing the spacecraft forward at an extremely fast speed.
"Wonderful!" Dennis immediately exclaimed. The curvature engine did not directly increase the speed, but directly shortened the sailing distance. Its true speed still did not exceed the speed of light!
In other words, it is the space that moves, not the spacecraft itself!
This is the most unreasonable thing about the warp engine!
After Linn finished describing the design principles of the curvature engine, the focus of the next discussion quickly turned to how to implement curvature drive.
As the saying goes, one person can think short and everyone can make mistakes. This is why Lin En brought it up for discussion. In many cases, inspiration suddenly comes from the brain.
For example, Harrov suggested that maybe they don't need to build any engines at all, and can directly use the wizard's domain to achieve this, which is convenient and fast...
It's just that if you want to create such a powerful gravitational field, at least several legendary wizards must take action.
"It's better to take a two-pronged approach. It's best to use alchemy to achieve it. Otherwise, it will be difficult to provide long-distance navigation with the magic power of a wizard alone." Linn reminded.
Vittorio nodded. After listening to Linn's idea of the curvature engine, he already had a rough plan in mind, and he immediately opened his mouth to discuss it with everyone.
This discussion lasted for a full week, and the curvature engine drawings that Linn took out had been changed beyond recognition. After that, he began to modify the entire spacecraft.
There is no doubt that this is another big project. Even if a hundred great wizards work together, it will take more than half a year to complete.
Lin En did not spend all his energy here, because he also needed to study the second topic, which was the establishment of the space-time gate!
Both the Moon Goddess Diana and the Lord of the Dead have mastered this extremely high-end ability in the eyes of technological civilization and can jump through time and space over long distances.
After this period of research, Lin En had some clues. The first was the positioning of the two space-time gates, which used the entanglement response of microscopic particles at a high-dimensional level, which was regarded as an extension of quantum communication technology.
Then there is the most important issue, how to open the space-time tunnel.
The Lord of the Dead opened a door in front of him once, and it might have been a time-space node across different universes, using all the energy released by the soul of a nine-ring legendary wizard!
However, they obviously do not have so many legendary wizards to sacrifice, not to mention that there is currently no one in the Nine Rings Legend Council. Sacrificing Harrov and several people may not be enough to open the door.
Lin En then paid attention to the annihilation of antimatter. In this universe, what can affect space and time on a large scale is extremely fast speed, huge mass and extremely strong energy!
Of course, these three can also be said to be the same thing!
When he was dueling with the Lord of the Dead, the last anti-matter cannon even broke the vacuum and triggered a quantum tide.
Using the quantum entanglement effect as a positioning method to allow two super-massive matter and antimatter particles to collide, can space-time be distorted to a level that connects to higher dimensions in an instant?
Magic is also very important, because the annihilation of massive particles cannot continue, so it is necessary to use magic that can directly affect time and space to stabilize this channel.
…
In the next few months, the first phase of major construction in the entire kingdom has been basically completed, and the second and third phases of construction are also on the agenda. Fortunately, after three years of preliminary study, the students of the Civilian College have also After graduation, there were suddenly 30,000 more wizards through the magic network link, which greatly alleviated the problem of labor shortage.
For the common people in the kingdom, life is changing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Every common person is full of enthusiasm, various novel creations emerge in endlessly, and trade is extremely active.
As for the threats from the universe and the world outside the time and space gate, only the congressmen who are great wizards can understand the inside story.
The legendary wizard's promotion ceremony has also been restarted. Linn personally asked a thousand questions about quantum mechanics, and those who can successfully pass will be eligible for promotion.
In this way, even if the promotion fails, it will not end up being destroyed.
Harrov, Vittorio and others frequently use the magic network to experience high-dimensional space and time, and are not far away from breaking through the eighth-ring legendary wizard.
Aurora also developed a magic projection device based on the analysis of the display instruments on the spacecraft, which can record the movements of mimic elements in a certain area, and store this information in a special container, which can be restored as long as the container is activated. Show up.
After Lin En got the report on this technique, he was also very interested. Isn't this the magic version of the video recorder?
The magic [Time Backtracking] he developed is much more advanced than this, but not everyone can use it, but the magic developed by Aurora has the potential to be popularized.
With this, they might be able to create a magical version of the movie, which would be a great propaganda tool...
