Voyage of the Stars

And most of these technical application studies will be used on new warships.

The design of the new warship is constantly updated as many technologies become reality. The reason why it is updated with new technology-related creations is that many original design plans are found to be seriously inconsistent with the warship design plan after a certain technology-related creation appears. In this case, it is natural to re-plan the warship layout to adapt the design plan to the new creation.

After these new technology-related creations appear one by one, the design blueprint of the new warship is finally determined after multiple rounds of screening.

In the design plan, the main frame of the new warship is made of strong interaction force materials, and the rest of the parts are all made of No. 2 alloy. Only in this way can the huge body of the main new warship be supported to perform various actions without collapse. As for why not all strong interaction force materials are used, it is naturally because the production cost of this material is too high.

Engineers estimate that if humans want to use strong interaction force materials to build the main frame of a warship, it is estimated to be a huge and time-consuming project, because this material is not only difficult to produce, but also more difficult to process, and even impossible to process. Because it is too hard and strong.

If you want to break its strong interaction force structure, you have to put it back into the grand unified force field and re-melt it. In addition, you can directly use antimatter for annihilation destruction. Antimatter annihilation destruction becomes uncontrollable because it will produce incomparable huge energy, so this material is basically what it is when it leaves the factory.

High strength and hardness are its advantages and disadvantages. It is difficult to be used in other delicate creations, but it is good for supporting the main frame of large creations or the shell of small detectors.

For this reason, the warship built according to this so-called new warship design plan will definitely not be the first new warship of mankind, but will be used only after the shipbuilding technology for manufacturing fourth-level civilization warships is fully mature.

At this point, this shipbuilding plan seems to be useless, but it is not, because it is not based on the design concept of ordinary warships. It is the design plan of the new flagship of mankind.

As for ordinary warships, the material of their main frame is a modified version of No. 2 alloy material, which is an improved version of No. 2 alloy material made by humans. Although it is an improved version, its high temperature resistance and impact resistance have not been improved. Humans have only improved its toughness by a large level through the operation of the grand unified force field, so that its parameter performance can be used as the main frame structure of new warships and spacecraft.

It can also be said that this is a material for the main frame of an ordinary warship and various giant creator bearing structures.

In the design plan, an ordinary new warship will be equipped with two warp engines working together, which is a twin-engine warship. There are two options for its main gun, one is a positive/anti-neutron gun.

The so-called positive/anti-neutron run is a neutron gun and an anti-neutron gun. This does not mean that a warship has two main guns, but that this main gun can both fire super-strong neutron jets and super-strong anti-neutron jets.

It is a weapon driven by a grand unified force field and is one of the applications of the grand unified theory. Because neutrons are not charged, if you want to accelerate neutrons directly, you naturally cannot use traditional electromagnetic fields, but a grand unified force field.

Because neutrons are not charged, this weapon can ignore the protection of the magnetic field shield and directly penetrate the shield to hit the warship. Polarization shields can't do anything to this weapon, because polarization shields are specially designed to defend against high-energy lasers. Its defense target is high-energy laser beams, which are essentially photons.

When this weapon is filled with neutron beams, it is also called neutron killing by weapon experts. When it is filled with anti-neutron beams, it is called neutron explosion.

It can be said that all shield technologies of level 3 civilization are useless in front of neutron weapons. The only thing that can defend it is the position shield of level 4 civilization. The force field shield can protect neutron jets like electric fields protect positron beams.

However, this weapon is still a weapon below the speed of light.

Yes, at level 4 civilization, the movement of warships has exceeded the speed of light, and weapons naturally have superluminal weapons, that is, warp antimatter missiles, warp gravity bombs, etc. Before the discovery of the tachyon type that can be used for weapons, superluminal weapons are of this type. As can be seen from the name, they all need the support of warp engines, just like intercontinental missiles and hypersonic missiles have engines and need rocket technology to propel them.

According to the current human thinking, if there is no accident, the main guns of human conventional warships should be of this type of warships in the future.

Another option is a warship with a star destroyer as the main gun.

Compared with warships with neutron killing/neutron explosion as the main gun, the requirements for the star destroyer to be installed on the ship are much greater, because the star destroyer is too large. The length of this gun alone reaches 150 kilometers, and ordinary warships cannot carry star destroyers at all.

Therefore, if you want to carry star destroyers, you have to design larger and stronger warships.

In the plan proposed by humans, the length of the warship equipped with star destroyers will reach 300 kilometers, and the parameters of width and height will also reach the level of 100 kilometers. Only by building it so large can it accommodate a star destroyer with a length of 150 kilometers, and there will be enough surging energy to drive the star destroyer.

And this is the human planetary battleship plan.

The level of human warships ranges from the mountain level of the first-level civilization to the lake level of the second-level civilization, and then to the sea level or continent level of the third-level civilization. When it comes to the fourth-level civilization, humans simply call it the planetary level.

This level of warship is not called a planetary warship randomly, nor is it that the warship is really as big as a planet. The main reason is that this kind of warship can destroy stars.

It is worth mentioning that the star destroyer can not only destroy stars, it is not a weapon specifically used to destroy planets, because human weapon design experts are already evaluating the possibility of installing a warp engine on the antimatter warhead of the star destroyer.

If successful, the antimatter warhead fired from the muzzle of the star destroyer will be able to enter the warp state after leaving the gun. At the same time, because of the powerful kinetic energy propulsion system of the star destroyer itself, it also has unparalleled powerful kinetic energy.

However, there are still some problems with this design that have not been solved, such as the preservation of antimatter in the warhead during the violent acceleration process of the grand unified force field. This requires humans to study the gravitational potential well technology more thoroughly, otherwise once it is started, the end is the explosion of the barrel.

Of course, it can also use no antimatter as a warhead, but in that case, its power will be much smaller, and it will directly become a warp + kinetic weapon.

In addition to these two options, there is actually another design plan, but it requires humans to find a type of tachyon suitable for combat, so this battleship design plan is still in the conceptual stage. And humans currently do not know whether their conjecture about the tachyon technology tree is correct, so this plan can only remain in the conceptual stage for the time being.

In addition to the main gun, each battleship design plan will also have different types of secondary guns, such as many sub-light weapons, close-in defense guns, warp missiles, warp gravity bombs, etc.
