The blue raccoon star who is far away 4.3 light-years away is still living happily in his own world as usual, unaware that his destiny has been decided by others.

Of course, it is not a simple matter for earthlings to conquer the blue raccoon people a few light-years away. Although the distance of these few light-years is insignificant to the universe, for today's human beings, then Like a moat!

With the current science and technology of the Empire, only large-scale spacecraft with a speed of 0.3 times the speed of light can be developed. Even without considering the long acceleration and deceleration time, it will take more than ten years to fly to the 4.3-light-year Centaur.

More than ten years is too long for the empire. In the early days, Qingquan technology developed rapidly, and in less than ten years, it has become a global giant. Although the empire has not had much in these ten years. development, that is because the empire spends its energy on improving its technology in an all-round way.

If the empire, like the previous Qingquan technology era, devotes most of its energy to improving important technological fields, I believe that more than ten years will be enough for a leap-forward development!

After more than ten years of precipitation in the current empire, various technologies have been developed, and it is time to develop technologies in some key areas, such as warp engines for interstellar navigation!

Warp engines are also known as curvature engines. It is a general term for a superluminal propulsion system and a jump engine, a superluminal engine, and an interstellar teleporter!

The so-called warp engine has actually been proposed by scientists a long time ago. In the 1950s, German physicist Heim began to explore the concept of superspace power. He proposed: warp travel is to use the Space-time warping and space-time jumping to achieve superluminal flight.

He believed that a strong magnetic field could create a gravitational field that propels a spacecraft at high speed. If the magnetic field is strong enough, a spacecraft can enter a second dimension higher than our own space-time and travel at superluminal speed. When the magnetic field disappears, the spacecraft will return to the present time and space.

Heim supplemented Einstein's four-dimensional space-time theory with the second-dimensional space theory, so the universe became a six-dimensional space-time. In Heim's view, gravitational and electromagnetic forces can be converted into each other, so the rotating magnetic field will weaken the earth's gravity, allowing the spacecraft to leave the ground (the principle of antigravity!).

When Heim published his theory in 1957, many physicists at the time expressed difficulty in accepting it, because they believed that it was difficult to create such a huge magnetic field under the conditions of material technology at that time. Until Heim's death in 2001, his theory also disappeared.

In 2005, Hauser, a physicist at the Salzgitter University of Applied Sciences in Germany, and his colleague Drescher co-authored an experimental paper based on Heim's theory to explore the feasibility of making a hyperspace engine. Unexpected: suddenly awarded the 2005 Nuclear Energy and Future Aviation project award by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

At the same time, the U.S. Air Force showed great interest in the hyperspace engine capable of exceeding the speed of light, and sent representatives to meet with Hauser. During the meeting, Hauser emphasized that the plan is still at a very preliminary stage. If the theory is proved to be feasible, a test model spacecraft can be built in five years.

Therefore, this paper award issued by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics has caused a lot of shock in the global physics community.

Then Roger Reynard, a space dynamics researcher at the U.S. Department of Energy's Sundia National Laboratory, publicly announced that they now have an x-ray generator—the z-machine—that can provide the magnetic fields needed for the experiment.

Even if the experiment turns out to be wrong, it's a successful experiment in my opinion, he said.

As early as May 2015, NASA scientists had carried out research on the warp engine and tested this sci-fi power system. The announcement attracted global attention!

In fact, based on his research on Alpha data, Liu Qingquan knows very well that the warp engine is the tool for the vast majority of cosmic civilizations to navigate the universe. If human beings want to develop freely in the universe, they must develop this warp engine!

At the same time, Liu Qingquan also had to lament the greatness of earth scientists, because according to their published theories, the direction of earth science to explore the warp engine is correct, that is to say, the theory proposed by earth scientists to manufacture warp engines is no problem. It is materials, specific methods, and powerful energy!

These three things are the real obstacles that restrict geoscientists from researching warp engines! Materials, huge energy sources, methods!

The working principle of the curvature engine is to use a strong magnetic field to resonate with the space, so as to achieve the purpose of distorting the space and folding the space, and then using the strong magnetic field to open the folded space, so as to achieve space jumping flight, from a space to quickly reach A very distant space!

In cosmic space, the speed of light is constant, and the speed of all objects must be limited by the speed of light, but warp drive is a law that can circumvent this law and avoid the limitation of the speed of light by distorting space-time. A spacecraft built according to this theory will be able to achieve a cosmic speed of 10 times the speed of light, or even dozens of times the speed of light, without breaking the speed of light limit.

According to Alpha's information, Liu Qingquan learned that the warp engine technology can actually be divided into conventional warp engine technology and super warp engine technology!

The conventional warp engine is divided into 10 levels according to the speed of the speed, 1-10 times the speed of light is a level 1 warp engine technology, 11-20 times the speed of light is a level 2 warp engine technology, and so on, 10 times the speed of light is a level , when it reaches 90-100 times the speed of light, it is a 10-level warp engine!

A warp engine that exceeds 100 times the speed of light is called a hyperwarp engine. This is a thing belonging to an advanced cosmic civilization, and few junior and intermediate cosmic civilizations can develop it.

The empire that has developed in an all-round way has already set its sights on the cosmic starry sky, and naturally the research on the warp engine has also been put on the agenda.

With the current science and technology of the empire, it is very possible to manufacture the warp engine, which restricts the three major influences, materials, huge energy sources, and methods!

In terms of materials, the materials used for the warp engine are definitely not comparable to the materials currently used. This is not just a matter of hardness, but to build materials according to the design needs from the perspective of atoms!

Macroscopic things are handled very well. When smelting materials, what ratios are needed, and the manufacturing steps, etc., scientists can easily and slowly find out.

But designing and manufacturing materials from an atomic perspective has never been done before, because the current technology simply cannot carry out detailed construction in such a small world. An atom is really too small, even a small piece material, and there are innumerable atoms that make it up.

There is still a long way to go to build materials from an atomic perspective. Just how to influence atoms so that they are arranged according to our wishes is a thing that drives scientists crazy, not to mention It is the material needed to realize large-scale atomic structure to manufacture warp drive.

It is only a material problem that needs to be studied by scientists. After all, the warp engine requires huge energy and a strong magnetic field. These will produce severe tests for the material. If the material is unqualified, everything else is empty talk!

The second problem, the huge amount of energy, is relatively easy to solve for the current empire. After all, the controllable nuclear fusion technology has already been researched!

Controllable nuclear fusion technology should be the most powerful energy technology that can be obtained in addition to positive and negative matter annihilation. For warp drive technology, the energy provided by nuclear fusion technology should be sufficient.

The scientists of the empire still have their own confidence. If the energy generated by nuclear fusion technology cannot meet the needs of the warp drive, then human beings will temporarily stop thinking about it. The importance of energy will not be more important than the material. Low sex!

As for the last problem encountered, that is, the problem of the method, it is actually the theory!

Scientists on Earth have been able to roughly predict the theory of manufacturing warp engines, but these theories are all speculated based on the technology and knowledge at the time, and have not been verified. Although the general direction is correct, there are many details. The place is definitely full of loopholes.

However, in one piece, the scientists of the empire don't have to worry about anything. Liu Qingquan, who has obtained the seeds of the Alpha civilization, can give the scientists of the empire the most correct guidance.

In terms of specific theory, there is no problem for the imperial scientists at all. After such a simple analysis, it seems that the three major problems of the warp engine, the scientists of the empire only need to specialize in the first problem, the material problem!

The other two problems are achievable under the existing conditions. The energy relies on powerful nuclear fusion energy technology. The method is based on the most mature methods and theories that the Alpha people have explored, compared to the Empire's warp drive technology. , as long as it is researched, it is definitely not the most elementary warp engine.

The material problem is a key issue. Although Liu Qingquan also has Alpharen technology materials, he is more and more unwilling to interfere too much with the development of imperial technology. It is good to have plug-ins, which can greatly improve the speed of development, but Always relying on plug-ins is also prone to problems.

Just like a person who plays games, you habitually rely on plug-ins to play games. Over time, dependence will form, and your own talents and abilities will gradually be buried in it. I don't know how to play this game.

When it comes to the development of civilization, the same is true for the development of science and technology. In many cases, it is beneficial to be a little harder at the beginning, but it is easy to cause problems if it is too smooth! (To be continued.)
