Chapter 343, Time and Space Ocean Current Sail
Once such technology is mastered, the communication and exchange between the various galaxies of the empire will become very convenient, and the time spent will be greatly reduced. The important thing is that it also means that the empire can continue to expand its territory in the universe.

"Brother Fu, please take a look."

Seeing Li Fu's anxious look, Chen Bin stopped playing tricks. He turned on the supercomputer in the nearby laboratory, and a star map appeared on the monitor. On this star map, lines connected galaxies to form a picture. Huge network graph.

"The galaxies that are relatively close to each other are connected in time and space. We all know that through space-time ocean currents, we can cross a long distance at a speed faster than light, and easily reach another galaxy."

"However, through the time we have recorded over the years for the spaceships in the empire to and from space-time ocean currents, we have gradually discovered some patterns."

"No matter how fast the spacecraft enters the time-space ocean current, the time it takes to pass through the time-space ocean current is the same, that is to say, no matter 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 very likely because the speed is too fast, and the difference in speed is insignificant when faced with a speed several times faster than the speed of light."

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

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

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

Following Chen Bin's explanation, the space-time ocean current map connecting the two galaxies on the entire star map is also flowing. At the same time, there are words next to it, so that we can directly know the research of space-time samples by imperial scientists over the years.

"Of course, until now, we still have many, many unclear points about space-time ocean currents, such as why there are space-time ocean currents between galaxies?"

"Where do meteorites, asteroids, etc. come from in the space-time ocean current?"

"Why is there no space-time ocean current connection between galaxies beyond a certain distance?"

"There are so many questions like this, and we haven't come up with a convincing answer so far. It's like why the universe exists, and how it was born and evolved. The universe we observe now is still too small. It is too small to look at the sky from a well, and naturally it is impossible to understand the universe from its essence."

Chen Bin sighed softly. The more he knows about the universe, the more he is in awe of the universe. There are too many, too many secrets waiting to be discovered in the vast and boundless universe.

Li Fu nodded while listening to Chen Bin's explanation quietly, but in his mind he was comparing the information 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, so ordinary civilizations can only truly gallop in the universe after they have researched the warp drive, and there are no universes that have mastered the warp drive technology Civilizations can only circle within their home galaxies.

It's not like the current situation in our own empire. There are space-time ocean currents between galaxies, so even civilizations that have just left their home planets for a short time can wander among the stars and occupy multiple galaxies. Therefore, the entire Orion constellation The spiral arms were all carved up by the civilizations that developed first.

"Did you develop a warp drive?"

Thinking of this, Li Fu's eyes lit up at once. Warp speed engine, this is a powerful power technology for interstellar navigation in the true sense. Across distant galaxies in a short amount of time.

"Brother Fu, you think too highly of us. The warp drive is still in the theoretical stage. I don't know how long it will be until it is manufactured. However, the scientific and technological achievements this time are also related to the achievements of the warp drive research. .”

Chen Bin shook his head. As the dean of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, he is very clear about the latest situation of the various research institutes under the Imperial Academy of Sciences. The warp drive is a new power technology that the Empire is currently concentrating 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 the ocean currents in planetary oceans. If we could develop a space-time ocean current sail, would it be possible to speed up the time-space ocean currents? , greatly reducing the time to pass through space-time ocean currents."

Chen Bin continued to control the computer to simulate the space-time ocean current, a pattern of space-time ocean current appeared on the monitor, and the colorful streamer world in the space-time ocean current was presented.

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

"In layman's terms, it is two points on a piece of paper. Normal walking is to fly in a straight line on the paper. Space folding is to fold these two points together, and then make a hole to use them. A very short distance to another point."

To improve the technology of the warp speed engine, Chen Bin gave a simple explanation of the warp speed on the computer. There is no way to start.

Although the empire has concentrated a lot of excellent scientists and resources on it, it is still only in the stage of theoretical research. It is unknown how many various experiments have been done, but there is still no real progress.

"What is the relationship between this warp drive research and space-time ocean current sails?"

Li Fu frowned when he heard this and thought about it. Li Fu himself is a top scientist. Although he is the emperor of the empire now, Li Fu spends at least half of his day in the laboratory. He is very good at all aspects of technology.

"Of course it has something to do with it. Although our warp drive has not achieved any major surprises, it has achieved some small results, such as adding intervention to space."

"So after some scientists put forward such a conjecture and idea, we went to conduct experiments and actions. We installed some equipment on the spacecraft that could intervene in space, and then activated this equipment when passing through space-time ocean currents. Unexpectedly, the speed of ocean currents passing through space and time has been increased by more than ten times."

Chen Bin smiled triumphantly, 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. On both sides of the spaceship, there were two wing-like things constantly stirring, and the surrounding space began to rippling like water waves.

"Even if flying in the normal void, the speed and flexibility of a spaceship equipped with space-time ocean current sails have been improved to a certain extent. This space-time ocean current sail can directly apply force to space, thus It’s like the oars are paddling in the water, which can generate power to accelerate the speed of the spaceship accordingly.”

"Theoretically speaking, if this technology can continue to develop, it should be able to be studied as a power technology alone, but at present we have only scratched the surface, and it is not enough for this technology to be used as a power alone. "

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

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

Following Chen Bin's words, the screen changed suddenly, and became 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 rough waves. It is not comparable to the small water waves in the normal void.

Although it is impossible to use specific methods to measure the speed of the spaceship in the time-space ocean current, the speed of the spaceship can only be calculated through time when it passes through the time-space ocean current and finally reaches the other end. With continuous work in the middle, the speed of the colorful stream of time and space ocean currents is several times faster at once. Obviously, this speed has been accelerated many times at once.

"Space-time ocean current sails that directly act on space?"

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

"This is mostly 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 apply force to space, its role is obviously also was magnified."
