"To solve the decisive energy problem, we must have more efficient energy storage batteries, or ultra-small antimatter reactors with a volume of less than three cubic meters. But we can't do the latter. Don't say we can't do it. Four Even super cosmic civilizations can’t do it!”
Liu Yan, a great scientist, said with great certainty.
Among the many matters after the war, the summary and study of this battle is naturally the top priority. While high-level government and military leaders are excitedly perfecting the Golden Star Han plan, scientists, weapons experts, and engineers are discussing this. Problems with human weapons, battleships, mechas, etc. in war.
Among all the discussions on weapons and mechas, the decisive battle mecha is the top priority, because it represents the highest combat power of mankind, and it is also the most likely key to defeating mankind when facing the fourth-level cosmic civilization, so again It cannot be emphasized enough.
In the last battle, the performance of the decisive battle mecha lived up to its description. The final strategic decisive battle weapon, during the strategic decisive battle stage of the handshake plan, really made the final decision, allowing Lu Yuanming to complete the almost impossible task and force the surrender in one fell swoop. The eleven silver races of the third-level cosmic civilization now give mankind a strategic choice, directly changing from a state of desperation to a state of great gain.
However, the decisive battle mecha also showed a very huge flaw, and that was the energy problem.
Let’s not talk about charging. The energy level obtained by mankind’s current technological level is still unable to quickly charge the decisive battle mecha in a short period of time. Even if the decisive battle mecha is 100% charged, this is still impossible. To meet the entire energy consumption of a large-scale war, this means that humans need to find ways to supplement the two major shortcomings of energy charging and energy storage for the decisive battle mecha. Otherwise, the decisive battle mecha may not be able to actually fight in the fourth-level universe. Civilized war scenes.
When Liu Yan spoke, although no one refuted it because of his status, at least no one here could refute it, but someone still made other suggestions: "At least we can solve the charging problem of the decisive battle mecha first. On the other hand, we can actually learn from the energy combination technology of the alliance civilization."
Someone immediately objected: "The energy dissipation effect is too serious. Our energy dissipation theory is not yet mature. Even if we absorb the relevant theories of these eleven alien civilizations, we still cannot answer the question of energy at the quantum level." The core problem of the fugitive phenomenon is that it is not only a huge waste, but also will cause information imprinting. The government has issued an announcement the day before yesterday banning large-scale joint energy experiments in order not to leave information imprinting. There’s no way to solve it.”
In the third-level cosmic civilization stage, the acquisition of extremely large amounts of energy is its core, and this core is the antimatter reactor.
Compared with the energy obtained from nuclear fusion, the energy source of antimatter reactors has directly increased hundreds of times.
However, compared with mature miniaturized nuclear fusion reactors or heavy fusion reactors, antimatter reactors have a very huge flaw, that is, they must first have enough energy to expand the energy field, and then obtain a large amount of energy at an extremely microscopic level. Short-term curvature bubbles can be used to extract enough antimatter, and then the antimatter annihilation reaction can be carried out to obtain the energy supply of the antimatter reactor.
This is actually the same principle as the hydrogen bomb in the earth age.
The power of the hydrogen bomb is naturally far greater than that of the atomic bomb, but the reaction of the hydrogen bomb requires a critical value. The technology of the earth age cannot directly make the hydrogen bomb explode. The atomic bomb must be used as a "lead" to use the critical value of the atomic bomb to explode. hydrogen bomb.
Because of this, the antimatter reactor occupies a very large area, and every time it shrinks a little, the energy supply under the same volume will also increase a lot. According to scientists' calculations, if the antimatter reactor can be miniaturized to only the size of an ordinary fire in the Earth's era, The size of a power station, then you only need to build a site the size of an existing antimatter reactor, and its energy supply has already reached the Dyson sphere level of a star the size of the sun!
It's a pity that humans can't do it, or in other words, level three cosmic civilization can't do it. The technology here needs to involve the microscopic space level, which is the category of level four cosmic civilization!
Because of this, all existing antimatter reactors are very huge. Even the antimatter reactor reduction technology of the Alliance civilization is extremely large and can only be deployed on ships of the main battleship level or above. This is actually smaller than that of humans. The antimatter reactor has only reduced its volume by one-fifth. Although its energy supply power has increased by at least 30%, this is still not a true qualitative change.
At the same time, the third-level cosmic civilization of the Silver Tribe at this stage has basically entered the fourth coordinate river system in various regions. They have come into contact with a large number of alien civilizations and realized the existence of the fourth-level cosmic civilization. At the same time, the cosmic war, Silver Racial fighting, genocide, massacre, etc., in order to obtain a new generation for their own race, etc., have been happening all the time. This has forced the Silver Races to make more manufacturing and upgrades in armaments. At the same time, it has also consumed a large number of middle and lower-class tribesmen, and they have After being integrated with the battleship, the core mothership is getting bigger and bigger, and the curvature navigation technology is also being steadily developed.
This series of actions caused the Silver Level 3 cosmic civilization’s battleships and weapon groups to expand even more. Any Silver Level 3 cosmic civilization would have hundreds of thousands or millions of main battleships, various auxiliary ships, gunboats, etc. There are countless of them, and the energy they need to consume also increases exponentially, and later it becomes an extremely exaggerated magnitude.
To achieve this level of energy demand, one has to settle down and build multiple Dyson spheres. But how is this possible? These silver species want to hide in the void and never be discovered. How can they spend hundreds or thousands of years in the star system with peace of mind? What about building a Dyson sphere?
Either that or the energy is being combined in an unstable way.
Energy union theory, which is the scientific level of the third-level cosmic civilization. After the energy field can be slightly controlled, as long as the energy band is set, the energy within a certain range will appear the convergence phenomenon caused by quantum tunneling, so Silver Only a third-level cosmic civilization can carry millions or tens of millions of main battleships and planet-level motherships at one time for curvature navigation, and can conduct ultra-long-distance navigation at a speed of more than fifty times the speed of light.
All this is thanks to the energy combination technology. In fact, if this technology is flawless, then the size of the antimatter reactor may not be a big problem anymore. Anyway, the silver third-level cosmic civilization is very accustomed to using quantity to accumulate strength.
However, this technology is obviously a semi-finished product. Once the energy is too huge, there will be a very obvious energy dissipation effect. Not only the charging efficiency will plummet, but there will also be energy flashes and information residues. Perhaps there are even more terrifying things. Energy helium flash or even energy implosion, and there are many civilizations destroyed due to energy escape in this river system.
Energy combination is the only way that human scientists can think of to efficiently charge the decisive battle mecha at the current technological level. If it can be used to charge the existing seven motherships of the alliance civilization, plus millions of main battleships Through joint charging, the energy of the decisive battle mecha is expected to be fully charged once every ten days.
The premise is that humans and the eleven silver civilizations will not become dust in the universe due to an energy helium flash or energy implosion.
The power of a helium flash with energy of this magnitude will never be lower than that of a real helium flash from a medium-sized star, and the energy implosion... although the probability is very low, once it occurs, its power is enough to compare with the direct flash explosion of a small star. Entire star systems will be completely destroyed.
The expert who just made the suggestion smiled and said: "Of course I know the shortcomings of energy combination. The greater the magnitude of energy, the greater the probability of accidents once the energy is combined. And aren't we going to implement the Golden Star Han Grand Plan? ?So the leakage of information is an absolute prohibition, and I know all this, so the energy union I propose is another kind of energy union."
Everyone looked at the expert, who continued: "...Actually, to put it bluntly, it doesn't have much high-tech content. Why don't we use cables to link all the main battleships together?"
The people around were stunned when they heard this. They looked at each other, and then laughed loudly. Some of them even mocked: "Use cables to link the main battleships? Please, do you know how many main battleships there are? The specific number is with the military, but at least there are more than five million main battleships. Do you know why energy joint technology is used? It’s because they can’t be linked to each other with cables. These are main battleships and they need to be mobile!”
Another expert also said loudly: "That's not all. Although it is just a main battleship, with such an order of magnitude stacking, the gravitational field of the main battleship will also be highlighted. When two main battleships are too close together in the fleet group, When, interference-type tidal tearing force will be generated. If you really plan to use cables to connect all more than five million main battleships, then congratulations, the amount of work is enough to rival a Dyson sphere. Then the question is... why don't we How about building a Dyson ball with greater energy and more stability?"
The expert just smiled and didn't answer, and suddenly a voice from the crowd at the back said: "Because we can't run away with the Dyson ball, but we can let the main battleship group follow us."
Everyone looked over, and they saw someone who surprised them... Tang Zhe'an.
Tang Zhe'an ignored them and just said to the expert who proposed to use cables to connect all the main battleships: "Hello, what should I call you? Shi Yuan, or... Feng Chu?"
Everyone looked at the expert strangely, a guy who didn't look amazing, like a passerby, but he got a serious question from Tang Zhe'an, and then they suddenly discovered to their surprise...
How come none of them know this expert?
he……
who is it?
