Voyage of the Stars

As he spoke, his voice gradually became quieter, because the awakener named Huan also knew that it was not easy because the road was too far away.

Although the awakeners have obtained clues from the previous generation of voyagers, the entire awakener civilization has a common understanding, that is, even now, the previous generation of voyagers may not have reached their destination.

Because that place is too far away for the sixth-level civilization, so far away that all sixth-level civilizations feel despair, but for the only hope, they have to embark on this road.

In the process of crossing one galaxy after another, it is bound to encounter civilizations from other galaxies, just like the awakeners coming to the Milky Way. Therefore, it is extremely difficult for a single civilization to reach the destination of this road. Know.

At first, humans marveled at the Awakener's feat of crossing from the Triangulum Galaxy, but only the Awakener himself knew how difficult it was to cross from the Triangulum Galaxy to the Milky Way.

And the Milky Way is not the end yet, it is just a transit point for the Awakeners, but the Awakeners do not dare to leave the Milky Way at will, because they clearly understand that in the face of this vast and vast universe, level six civilization is not enough.

Moreover, the Awakener does not know that if he sets sail alone rashly, even if he successfully reaches the next galaxy, he will encounter other unknown and powerful civilizations, whether there will be conflicts, and whether the entire civilization will be destroyed as a result. It's a risk.

It is precisely because of understanding this that the Awakeners were so cautious after arriving in the Milky Way, as if they were afraid that other level six civilizations would know of their existence.

Of course, the Awakener also knows that his whereabouts will be hidden sooner or later. As long as he is still exploring the galaxy, he will be discovered by other level six civilizations sooner or later.

The best proof is that 'Yu' met the Yingxian Community fleet before, and this time will probably not be too long.

We are all sixth-level civilizations, and they must all know which path they must embark on, because only by leaving and going to a destination that only exists in the speculations of scientists and the clues left by some previous generations of voyagers can they, the sixth-level civilization, The hope of super civilization.

At present, the awakeners do not know what the attitude of the sixth-level civilizations in the Milky Way is towards the alien civilizations in other galaxies, so all actions are based on caution.

After an unknown amount of time, the rectangular battleship where the individual awakener named "Huan" was located also disappeared. Only the unknown black hole is still left, following the physical laws of the universe and continuing to show its existence with gravity.

At this moment, the human civilization mentioned by the awakener has reached a new level as expected.

Magnetic thrust technology was declared successful. In the experiment of the sample spacecraft, the thrusters made with magnetic thrust technology forced the experimental spacecraft past the 30% light speed threshold in a very violent way.

During the experiment, humans clearly discovered the slow clock effect by comparing the clocks placed on the sample spacecraft and the human fleet itself.

Through simple calculations, humans can easily calculate the relative speed to which the sample spacecraft was pushed, and the conclusion is 50% of the speed of light.

Just the newly successful magnetic thruster can push the sample spacecraft to such a speed, which makes the entire human civilization boil. Even in the eyes of scientists, if we continue to improve and optimize, it may not be impossible to continue to increase the speed.

Because as mentioned before, magnetic push technology is a technology that 'steps on' the unipolar magnetic field that is undergoing phase change. If the power is large enough, it may not be able to continue accelerating.

After all, during the course of the battleship, the reaction magnetic field appears along with the position of the battleship in space. Just make sure that after the monopole magnetic field is generated at the end of the thruster, it can 'borrow' the force as it moves away.

Of course, such borrowing will become more and more difficult as the spacecraft speeds up.

The reason is very simple. It is just like a person stepping on air bricks to jump up in a weightless environment. When the person's speed is so fast that he has not had time to touch the air bricks before he steps on the air bricks, the air bricks will Just stay away from the farthest length of the kicking leg, then he won't be able to borrow any strength.

When it comes to magnetic push technology, the so-called increase in power is equivalent to increasing the speed and intensity of that person's kicking.

Based on this, some scientists even believe that if this technology develops to a high level, it may be possible to push the spacecraft to sub-light speeds.

When it came to sub-light speed, engineers' minds were opened. They felt that this technology could be applied to weapons.

Ever since, after the success of magnetic push technology, a group of weapons experts and weapons design engineers have been wondering how to improve this technology to turn this technology into a new weapon.

In fact, at first, these engineers thought that they could simply use magnetic thrust to replace the electromagnetic propulsion of the electromagnetic rail gun. However, when they truly understood the size of the magnetic thrust device, they gave up this naive idea.

Some weapons design experts have also proposed that the power coil of the gun barrel can be transformed into an Alice ring nested structure, and the same layout can be made on the shell to push the shell out. However, this idea requires the miniaturization technology of the magnetic propulsion device, but it is not known whether this technology can be realized by today's humans.

Therefore, the idea of ​​using magnetic propulsion technology in weapons is still just an idea.

However, despite this, the prospects of this kind of weapon are very good. If it can be realized, humans may have sub-light kinetic energy weapons.

When this kind of weapon has been developed to its extreme, everyone with common sense can imagine that it is the legendary weapon that can destroy stars, a near-light speed kinetic energy weapon, also called a stellar weapon, a mass point, or a light particle.

Of course, humans can only think about near-light speed kinetic energy weapons now. As far as we know so far, even if we use magnetic thrusters to continuously accelerate the spacecraft, it is impossible to reach near-light speed.

Because during the acceleration process, spacecraft fuel needs to be consumed, and if you want to accelerate an object with such a large mass as the spacecraft to near the speed of light, the energy consumed is greater than the total amount of energy converted from the mass of the entire spacecraft.

This is the same as limiting the speed of a second-level civilization spacecraft. The greater the mass of the spacecraft, the greater the thrust required to accelerate it, and the more energy it consumes to continue accelerating. The greater the thrust required, the more energy it consumes, and the more energy it needs to be loaded. The more fuel, the heavier the spacecraft.

This is an infinite loop, so the spacecraft cannot continue to accelerate.

It is precisely because of this that scientists understand that it is impossible to turn a spacecraft of that size into a weapon. If you want to use magnetic push technology in weapons, you still have to take the miniaturization technology route.

Human beings don’t know whether this technology can be realized at the level of third-level civilization, but with such a promising goal, we must continue to study it.

Don't be afraid of not succeeding, just be afraid of not thinking.

You know, before many technologies are realized, especially when they are first proposed, they always seem so whimsical, but those technologies that look almost science fiction are all slowly being realized by humans.

Therefore, when the magnetic propulsion technology was announced to be successful, scientists and engineers in various fields of mankind were thinking about it, and everyone hoped that this technology could also play a role in their own fields.

Especially the group of scientists who study the field of antimatter, they even believe that the Alice Ring is the basic technology for humans to produce antimatter on a large scale in the future.
