Dahan Technology Empire

Click on the empire of the branch of atomic material science, science and technology once again ushered in a revolution, materials science as a basic subject has achieved a new development, which in turn led to leapfrog breakthroughs in other disciplines!

As the so-called foundation determines the superstructure, the ability to create the materials you need from the atomic point of view has ushered in a revolutionary development in the entire field of materials science, and countless new materials have emerged. Naturally, other scientific fields that are limited by materials will be liberated out of the constraints and shackles of their own hands.

The manufacture of spacecraft has always been limited by materials, from the manufacture of aerospace vehicles in the ground era, those expensive aerospace materials, to engines, and even every screw, whether it is an aircraft inside a planet or an aircraft used for space flight, The material is everything that determines their fate!

The same is true in the interstellar era. The spacecraft manufactured by the empire are getting bigger and bigger, and the quality is naturally getting bigger and bigger. So far, the empire has been able to manufacture large spacecraft with a diameter of several hundred kilometers, but at this point, scientists Suddenly found out.

If the empire still wants to manufacture a space vehicle the size of a planet with a scale of thousands of kilometers, then it must face a test, the test of fluid static balance, also called the test of gravity balance!

The load difference caused by the undulation of the planet's surface terrain will be fully compensated in the deep crust and even deeper parts. Below a certain compensation depth, the pressure of the earth is in a state of hydrostatic equilibrium. Therefore, the weight in the unit cross-section cylinder above the compensation interface must be equal. Excessive surface loads will cause equal volumes above the compensation interface The quality deficit can reach static equilibrium, and vice versa.

In layman's terms, all cosmic celestial bodies, as long as their mass reaches a certain level, will be affected by the balance of gravity and become a spherical shape!

Because the planet is the most stable only when it is in a spherical state, then why is the planet the most stable when it is round?

When the mass of cosmic celestial bodies reaches a certain level, the extrusion of gravity will cause the interior to melt and become lava (fluid).

At this time, the shape of the celestial body will be determined by the gravitational force and the repulsive force between the molecules. Although the repulsive force between the molecules is strong, it will only be effective within a very short distance. The gravitational force can reach infinity, but it is the weakest force.

When molecules get too far apart, gravity pulls them closer to each other and squeezes them together. When the molecules get too close, the repulsive force kicks in and easily overcomes the gravitational force, pushing the molecules away from each other until they get far enough that the gravitational force defeats the repulsive force again and pulls them closer together.

The overall structure of the planet will be adjusted repeatedly in such a cycle until it reaches a balanced state. When every part is in a state of balance between gravitational and repulsive forces, the planet will become spherical!

We can blow up a balloon, the binding force of the balloon plastic can be regarded as the gravitational force, the repulsive force in the air is the same as the repulsive force between the molecules of the planet, try to squeeze and pull up the balloon, and you will see the same effect, the balloon is It is most stable when it is round.

At this point in the manufacture of the empire's spacecraft, both the mass and the volume of the spacecraft have reached a level, and if it gets bigger, it will be like a planet. If there is no strong keel to support it, it will collapse and change. Into an iron ball, not a flying machine.

Therefore, before the keel technology has not improved, the empire has no way to continue to manufacture larger spacecraft, and the keel that can support an aircraft of thousands of kilometers will never require more materials than those used to manufacture warp speed engines. The material is poor!

One can imagine, a keel that can support the strong gravity of a planet, the material of this keel can be imagined!

But now, the empire has activated the technology of atomic materials, and can create the materials it needs from the atomic point of view, whether you want to build a warp drive, or a spacecraft the size of a planet with a diameter of thousands of kilometers,

There is no problem at all, the material is no longer a condition to limit everyone! Do whatever you want!

So the empire's first real space battleship used to sail the sea of ​​stars and hang aliens was finally built. Its name is Star!

Star means the empire's ambitions for the stars and seas of the universe, and also means the empire's ambition to expand outwards, which is used to conquer the stars and seas!

Because the designed Star is a space battleship with a diameter of thousands of kilometers and is as huge as a planet, it was built here in the already empty asteroid belt.

The asteroids in the asteroid belt have been basically cleaned up after these mining. Now the interstellar mining companies are going to mine asteroids in the Kuiper belt, which is richer in resources, so the asteroid belt here is very empty. Dang, used by the empire to store various smelted resources.

Choosing to build here is because it is close to the place where resources are stored, which is convenient for extracting various resources and saves the trouble of transportation; secondly, it is also very close to Mars, so scientists and engineers can get here quickly;

Countless huge space vehicles have come to a void in the asteroid belt, which is far away from all the waterways in the solar system, and also far away from the two huge planets Jupiter and Mars, especially far away from Jupiter. The gravity of Jupiter is really strong. It is too big, and it has a great impact on the construction of spacecraft, so it must be far away from it.

A huge planet with a distance of tens of kilometers, made entirely of smelted steel, was dragged over by several large space vehicles. These resources will be used when flying the aircraft.

The massive amount of steel needed to build the Star, especially the keels in it, are all made of Qijin. These consume an unknown amount of steel, so the empire began to reduce the construction work of other spacecraft and prioritize resources. To the construction of the Zvezda.

Because the Star is too huge, there is no way to build it in the aircraft factory. It can only be placed in the void, and scientists and engineers will build it on a spacecraft.

The first construction of the Star was naturally the load-bearing keel. The steel planet with a diameter of tens of kilometers was firmly fixed in the void by three huge spacecraft with thick and long carbon fiber ropes.

Then several spaceships of the same size slowly activated the internal magnetic field concentration devices. These spaceships are specially used to create atomic materials. They have no other functions, they can only generate strong magnetic fields, and conduct Constraint and concentration.

The powerful magnetic fields inside these spaceships began to operate, and at the same time they were continuously concentrated, aiming at the fixed steel planet, and several fluctuations visible to the naked eye acted on the planet. These magnetic fields used to create atomic materials were strictly calculated. Yes, it can pull atoms, but it cannot pull them away.

Several magnetic field waves have been strictly calculated. The angle and area of ​​fluctuations are in accordance with the pre-set area. Under the continuous effect of several strong magnetic field fluctuations, the iron planet began to undergo obvious changes. The original circular surface , the entire planet began to be slowly stretched.

This feeling is like when we are kneading the dough, the already kneaded dough is slowly stretched into noodles. To be precise, this steel planet is stretched into a stick, a thick stick!

This process is very slow and takes a very long time. During this period, metal materials of various other elements need to be continuously added into it. At the same time, the spacecraft dragged smaller steel planets to continuously add them.

Building materials from the atomic point of view is not a simple matter. Even if the empire has countless scientists, it can only do so for the time being.

This process continued until more than ten months passed, and the entire steel planet with a diameter of tens of kilometers had completely changed, from the original ball shape to a stick thousands of kilometers long. , The diameter of this stick is more than ten kilometers.

Monkey King's Golden Cudgel is nothing more than that!

Scientists couldn't help sighing when they saw the huge bones quietly placed in the void. Sun Wukong's stick was only one hundred and eighty thousand catties, but the stick in front of him weighed more than one billion and eighty million catties!

Before and after, the scientists did not know how many steel planets were put into it. The original steel was not enough to make a stick with a length of thousands of kilometers and a diameter of more than ten kilometers. To be precise, it was a keel!

If you do any calculations, you will know that if its mass is placed on an ordinary celestial body, it will definitely be affected by the balance of gravity and collapse into a huge planet, but this keel does not have it, and it shows no sign of collapsing at all!

Materials created from the perspective of atoms have incredible capabilities. You must know that this is a kind of material that is second only to quark materials and degenerate materials. Let’s not mention quark materials. Just degenerate materials, even neutron stars are also degenerate One of a kind!

The neutron star is one of the few end points that a star may become after a supernova explosion through gravitational collapse at the end of its evolution. In short, a star between a white dwarf and a black hole is formed by the collapse of a star whose mass is not high enough to form a black hole at the end of its life!

The material made from the atomic angle is second only to the degenerate material. It is conceivable that it is powerful. The quality of the keel is not enough to make it collapse into a planet. If it can’t support it now, how can it support the mass in the future? The Star!
