"...A curvature sailing speed of fifty times the speed of light means that the power of faith is consumed a little too much."
Lu Yuanming said distressedly.
At present, there is only one way for human beings to normally travel faster than light in the material world, and that is to use the curvature generator left by the Apollo civilization to create a curvature bubble, and then enter curvature navigation to break through the speed of light.
But there are two major downsides to this approach.
The first is that the energy consumption is very huge. The curvature generator creates a layer of curvature bubbles in material space-time. The energy required is determined according to the size and duration of the curvature bubble. The larger the curvature bubble, the longer it lasts. The greater the energy required.
If we want to create humanity’s existing Unicron mothership-level curvature bubble and maintain its existence for one year, then the Dyson Cloud will need energy storage for eleven or twelve years. Of course, now humanity has created an antimatter annihilation reactor, plus the Dyson Cloud energy, then it won’t take eleven or twelve years.
But this is enough to illustrate the terrifying energy consumption required for curvature navigation. It was also because of this reason that the AIBO civilization built the Dyson Cloud.
Second, the curvature generator is underpowered.
Although the energy consumed is very huge, the vertical drop of the curvature bubble created by the curvature generator is not large.
The reason why curvature navigation can exceed the speed of light is to use the space pulling effect caused by the height difference of space-time curvature, which is to simulate the trough of space-time curvature in extreme environments similar to black holes.
It's roughly similar to when a scooter is sliding on flat ground. You need to keep using your feet to do work. The greater the strength, the more work you do, and the faster the scooter is. But if it is a slope, the scooter will automatically slide down, and The steeper the slope, the faster the scooter will go.
According to the situation detected in the Future Reunion Plan, the moon entered the gravitational range of the black hole. When it was at the edge of the event horizon, the moon detected a gap in the curvature of space and time that could exceed the speed of light by more than 1,500 times.
Of course, that is the extreme situation of a black hole, which can also be said to be the most extreme situation in the universe. It is almost equivalent to the vertical fall of the curvature of space and time. It is naturally impossible for ordinary curvature navigation to reach more than 1,500 times the speed of light, but there are dozens of times. , one to two hundred times the speed of light is consistent with the normal speed of curvature navigation.
But this curvature generator obviously cannot reach this level. Its maximum speed can only reach ten times the speed of light, and its energy consumption is more than three times higher than the figure calculated by the space ring supercomputer matrix.
This is obviously a castrated and defective version of the curvature generator. I don’t know whether it is because of its technological limitations, or whether it was deliberately made into a castrated and defective version when it was originally manufactured. Is it a trap in itself?
At present, humans are still unable to create a curvature generator. This is obviously a creation of a fourth-level cosmic civilization. Although a large amount of principle information of the curvature generator has been analyzed and calculated through the Future Reunion Plan, humans are still far away from manufacturing a curvature generator. There are also insurmountable technological barriers.
But it doesn't matter, technology is not enough, extraordinary people can make up for it.
Humanity happens to be a cheating race...
In many curvature bubble speed tests, Lu Yuanming increased the space-time curvature drop of the curvature bubble through cognition. Although the size of the curvature bubble created by the curvature generator has not changed, the space-time curvature drop of the curvature bubble has also not changed. However, Lu Yuanming's understanding is that the gap in the curvature of space and time has increased, which is equivalent to turning a gentle slope into a steeper slope.
At the beginning, Lu Yuanming just tried it out with an attitude of trying. Anyway, he had even accomplished something as unbelievable as matter reaching near-light speed. There is no reason why he couldn't do it in terms of curvature navigation, right?
Anyway, he has read a lot of scientific books on curvature bubbles, curvature navigation, and space-time curvature. He feels that he understands them all, so there is absolutely no problem.
The fact was just as he expected, he really created a space-time curvature gap, and the duration of the space-time curvature gap was determined based on the maintenance time of the curvature bubble.
The only flaw is that the consumption of colorless light particles is huge. Taking into account the maximum curvature gap of space-time that is fifty times faster than the speed of light that his current knowledge can increase, if it lasts for one year, that is, it will cover a distance of fifty light years. It requires consuming 15 billion colorless light particles!
Fortunately, this is the same as pushing matter to near the speed of light. It does not distinguish the size of the curvature bubble, but only the duration and the steepness of the space-time curvature drop. Therefore, when the mothership sails later, he can still use this method to accelerate. However, like the near-light speed of matter, this cannot be used as a regular skill.
A space battleship, plus fifteen mechas and fifteen debuggers on board, as well as three qualified special mechas and three qualified people, plus a scientific research team, and 10,000 Five thousand fully loaded astronauts, this is the advance inspection force.
They are responsible for first exploring the coordinate point 42 light years away, studying whether there is really a wormhole at that location, and if there is a wormhole, conducting research around the wormhole, and building a forward base at the same time. , waiting for the arrival of the large army.
This fleet carries a two-particle entanglement communicator, which can communicate with another particle inside the moon at any distance. So far, humans have only created three two-particle entanglement communicators, plus other Based on the personnel composition, it can be said that this reconnaissance has already spent a lot of money.
On the other side, with the completion of the first five-year plan, the second phase of great development continues.
Sixty percent of the construction of the mothership Unicron has not yet been completed, and half of the construction of the four major space fleet groups and the mechas equipped on them has also not been completed. All of these need to be completed in the next It will be completed in five years. However, with the achievement of the first five-year plan, both the operating spacecraft and the proficiency of workers, etc., have all been greatly improved and optimized, so the remaining workload is expected to be It can be completed in about three and a half years.
Everyone's urgency has also slowed down to varying degrees, especially as the life span of the entire population has increased to the limit of 350 years, the urgent threat of the sterilization curse seems to have gradually faded away.
This is actually human nature.
The previous situation where the clockwork was wound to its limit and everyone was stretched to the limit was pathological.
Therefore, after discussions with senior government officials, they decided to change the working hours to eight hours a day inside the moon and ten hours a day outside the moon. At the same time, after discussions and calculations by relevant experts, collective rest rooms were built at multiple transportation nodes in the Epbo system. Rooms, collective entertainment rooms and other space buildings provide all staff with as much rest and entertainment space as possible.
On the other side, with the leaps and bounds in the level of human science and technology, people's calls for technological entertainment are getting louder and louder. The most important one is naturally the call for video games... It just so happens that Lu Yuanming also wants...
"...No, I just don't understand."
Lu Yuanming found Bai Ye, and he murmured dissatisfiedly: "Why are your generation so hostile to video games? There are just public opinions saying that immersive virtual reality games can be developed, why do you even Are you also planning to introduce the most stringent video game review system? Not only will you not be able to produce virtual reality games, but you will even outlaw all private or corporate research on brain-computer interfaces?"
Bai Ye looked at Lu Yuanming with a half-smile, and said, "The reason why you didn't make a decision directly, or even hold a discussion meeting, but came directly to me, doesn't this prove that you know the reason? ?”
Lu Yuanming didn't want to deny it. He said straightforwardly: "Yes, I can probably understand the reason why you do this, but let's all be more rational, okay? You are worried about the people because of the birth of the Yuan Universe and because of virtual reality games. The birth of the game, and you are addicted to it, ignoring the real universe, right? But you must also understand that entertainment is human nature, and with the advancement of science, virtual reality games will definitely appear. This is not up to your will or mine. The transfer cannot be banned by administrative power!"
Bai Ye was silent for a while, and then he suddenly said to Lu Yuanming: "Have you read the development exploration report of Xian Xia Preface Vision?"
Lu Yuanming was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what Bai Ye meant by suddenly changing the subject, so he said, "Of course I watched it."
"You must not have read those detailed experimental reports about martial arts people..." Bai Ye said, lighting a cigarette.
Lu Yuanming did not read every report in detail, otherwise he might not be able to read even one-tenth of it 24 hours a day. As for the reports involving the development of the Xianxia Preface world, unless they were issued by personnel from the material world, Otherwise, he would only pay attention to the general idea.
Bai Ye stood up and said: "Let's go and take a look... In the world of Xianxia Preface, we conducted brain-computer interface experiments on some of the most heinous people in the martial arts world, and created a virtual reality game tailored for them. , it’s written in the report, but since you haven’t read it, then witness that horrific scene with your own eyes…”
"It's not just as simple as being addicted."
Lu Yuanming was surprised. He went back to the office to find out the relevant report, and then took Bai Ye to the dark matter world. As he walked, he looked at the report.
This is a report from almost more than a month ago, and the public opinion about the development of virtual reality games started more than three months ago. The report also clearly mentioned the various advantages and disadvantages of developing virtual reality games. The five major management Senior executives also held discussions. Indeed, as Lu Yuanming said, some were conservative and felt that it might cause people to become addicted, while some were radical and felt that with the advancement of technology, virtual reality would inevitably come.
So I then used those martial arts people from the Xianxia Preface world to conduct experiments.
Some of these martial arts people are really guilty of heinous crimes, such as those who cannibalize human flesh. In the eyes of the unified government, they are not even human beings, and it is natural to use them for any experiments.
Then, in the world of Xianxia Preface, Lu Yuanming saw a monster...
A literal monster!
