Chapter 206 Warp Engine
The antimatter bullet collided with it, and the shell of the antimatter bullet automatically cracked, and zero point and one gram of antimatter contacted together with the strong-acting material.
The positive and negative matter annihilate each other, and the structure of the strongly acting material is destroyed, like a pile of bricks stacked together. Suddenly one piece is pulled out from the middle, and the entire "brick pile" begins to collapse.
The energy that instantly bursts out from the annihilation of positive and antimatter accelerates this process. From an external perspective, it is the antimatter bullet that smashes the water drop aircraft!
"Broken!" Huang Qi shouted in the deep space base of the sentry tower.
This water drop aircraft completely destroyed a human exploration fleet and millions of detection satellite weapons, and was broken by an antimatter bullet!
With the first water drop aircraft shattered, the second, third, hundreds of water drop aircraft were tracked and fired by antimatter bullet networks, all shattered!
The enemy's first temptation ended in failure!
"Collect materials and arrange detection satellites to install antimatter bullets." Du Xingyu ordered.
"Yes!" The frontline commander immediately adjusted his arrangement and released millions of detection satellites from the unmanned warships. These detection satellites carried several antimatter bullets. When they encountered water droplet aircraft, they also had the ability to destroy them!
"Perfect!" Yang Shaolin shouted, "Now they can't detect our intelligence in depth!"
"Don't be anxious." Du Xingyu was still observing, seeing that the enemy had no subsequent attacks.
They waited for several hours, and after the Water Drop Vehicle, the enemy did not release any detection and attack weapons. Perhaps they discovered that humans already possessed antimatter weapons and adjusted their tactics.
"This attack should give us some breathing time." Du Xingyu said, "But the next attack should be the enemy's fleet!"
"So during this period, we must build a star-level annihilation warship!"
"Yeah." Chen Hong nodded, "In the outer space of Neptune, we built a warship factory that can be used to build a stellar annihilation warship."
...
The wreckage of the Water Drop Vehicle was sent to the institute as quickly as possible, and humans began to analyze it.
"The shell of the water droplet is actually an ordinary material, the key lies in the inside!" Du Xingyu had to be amazed at the structure of the water droplet. The force field inside and the overflowing force locked the atoms, creating this extremely powerful material that is almost "invincible"!
It also has an ultra-small curvature engine, allowing it to accelerate, steering and other functions.
"Director Du, we analyzed the internal structure of the water droplet. A preliminary judgment was that it was not a kinetic energy weapon, but a detector!" said the academician of the Academy of Sciences.
"It's true. The enemy wants to use a water drop detector to detect our information." Du Xingyu thought so at the beginning.
"Further analyze the force field generator and super-small curvature engine in the water droplet!" Du Xingyu ordered.
This time, crushing the water drop aircraft is of great significance to humans. First, it can deter the enemy, and second, the devices in the water drop aircraft will bring a new scientific understanding to humans.
Although he did not really see the enemy's appearance, Du Xingyu could already determine that the enemy's civilization level had entered the third level of civilization.
According to the technology simulator, a second-level civilization is a civilization that can freely move in several star systems.
Human civilization is currently at level 2.5. If we improve it, we need to study antimatter reactors and curvature engines and other technologies.
If you want to break through from a second-level civilization to a third-level civilization, the iconic technology is to master the "great unified theory" and technology.
The theory of great unification has become the principle of all things again!
There are only four interaction forces between microscopic particles, gravity, electromagnetic force, strong interaction force, and weak interaction force.
Theoretically, all phenomena in the universe can be explained by these four forces. By further studying the connection and unity between the four forces, finding a theory or model that can uniformly explain the four interactive forces is called the Great Unification Theory.
If a civilization masters the theory of great unification, it can transform these four basic forces, such as converting electromagnetic force into gravity and into strong interaction forces.
This is how materials such as the water drop aircraft shell are made.
In addition, it can have more functions.
Humans currently only master the unified theory of strong interaction forces, weak interaction forces and electromagnetic forces, and humans still don’t know how to transform gravity.
"There are too many things to do." Du Xingyu discovered that he had to carry out multiple research projects at the same time.
The only thing that is, today's human scientists have made much progress than they once did, and they also have biological computers or smart brain chips for assistance.
While Du Xingyu was analyzing the structure of water droplets, particle scientists from the Academy of Sciences also made new discoveries.
"In the particle collision test, we discovered a new particle," said particle physicist Butler. "After many experiments, he was the Higgs boson that humans once predicted."
Higgs boson, a boson with zero spin, is not charged, color-charged, extremely unstable, and will immediately decay after generation.
In the Higgs mechanism, the Higgs field causes spontaneous symmetry failure and gives mass to normative propagators and fermions. The Higgs particle is the field quantization excitation of the Higgs field, which obtains mass through self-interaction.
Simply put, it represents that the mutual conversion of energy and mass is completely true.
"Very good. After discovering this kind of particle, it proves that the unified theory of the three basic forces of human beings is correct." Du Xingyu said happily. According to this idea, human beings can continue to move forward on the original path of particle physics and study the great unified theory.
...
The Academy of Sciences has replicated strongly interacting materials for the first time in two months since the human eradication of the water droplet detector.
This material is far better than the alloy material used in space warships before, and it will be used on the latest warships.
At the same time, Du Xingyu also began physical testing of antimatter reactors.
The energy of the reaction between antimatter and positive matter is too terrifying. If it cannot be converted and controlled well, the reactor will become an "antimatter bomb"!
For safety reasons, the test process will be carried out in space.
This is a huge control device, comparable to a small spacecraft!
Many of its parts are somewhat similar to nuclear fusion reactors, and the reaction efficiency of the reactor is controlled by controlling the mass of the added antimatter.
The magnetic field stores and constrains antimatter, and the kinetic energy system will continuously and stably output energy.
"Add antimatter!" Du Xingyu ordered that several grams of antimatter were added in the reactor, and it immediately began to annihilate with the positive matter, releasing huge energy.
Converting heat energy into other energy, humans have long matured. The energy reaction system of the reactor shows that the energy value is soaring rapidly.
"The reactor is stable."
“The cooling system is stable.”
"The energy storage system is stable."
"Increase the investment in antimatter." Du Xingyu improved the mass of antimatter again. Every moment next, energy exceeds the explosion of the hydrogen bomb occurred in the reactor, and the magnetic field and plasma shield had to constrain all of this energy to prevent it from exploded.
Maintaining stability is the most difficult!
The energy level is gradually increasing, and the reactor remains stable.
A few days later, the reactor was still releasing energy stably. Du Xingyu could basically determine: "The antimatter reactor is completed."
"Humans can finally use the energy of antimatter!" The scientists present were very excited, which means that humans can finally break through to level 2.5 civilization and explore higher fields.
Du Xingyu was not too excited. The completion of the antimatter reactor does not mean the completion of the curvature engine and warp warship.
Antimatter reactors can provide energy far exceeding nuclear fusion reactors, but how can they conduct warp speed navigation?
He is analyzing the super-small warp engine of the Water Drop Vehicle.
"During the warp speed of the water drop vehicle, a warp field will be generated around the water droplets, which is to slightly distort the surrounding space-time!"
"This twisted space-time is equivalent to a warp bubble, and water droplets pass through the warp bubble and enter subspace for navigation."
"The warp speed navigation method of warships is similar to that of water drop aircraft, so I first have to find a way to use antimatter reactors to create warp speed fields."
Du Xingyu began to simulate on a technology simulator. The generation of the warp speed field is actually the time and space near the distorted curvature engine.
In nature, massive celestial bodies, such as stars or black holes, can distort space and time by their own gravity.
The warship obviously cannot achieve this, so Du Xingyu adopts the second method, using the energy field to squeeze the surrounding space, causing space distortion and creating a warp speed field.
"In the warp engine compartment, the antimatter reactor instantly releases a large amount of energy, converting the working fluid into ultra-high temperature plasma."
"These ultra-high temperature plasmas squeeze each other through the warp coils to create a warp field, gradually changing the shape of the surrounding space to achieve the effect of warp navigation."
Du Xingyu already had a idea, and the super-small warp engine of the Water Drop Vehicle gave him a lot of inspiration.
While simulating the warp engine, he transformed the design model of the warp warship.
Because warp warships have to withstand the squeeze of the warp speed field, they will inevitably be completely different from the previous star-class warships.
"Invest ten million energy points and start simulating the warp engine."
Du Xingyu combined the original antimatter reactor and warp chamber to form a complete system.
"Ignite the reactor." Du Xingyu added antimatter to the reactor, and the annihilation effect began to occur.
Energy is added to the working fluid, which is heated into ultra-high temperature plasma like the core of the star. They move along the magnetic conduit, creating an energy field and squeezing the space.
This is an extremely difficult process to control. Du Xingyu failed in the first few hundred tests. Because he had limited knowledge of the warp speed field, he would destroy the energy field structure if he was not careful, and even directly destroy the engine itself.
After thousands of attempts and data collection time and time again, Du Xingyu established a mathematical model of warp field manufacturing in his brain, referred to as the warp field model for short.
Through this model, he can know how much energy is input, how many ultra-high temperature plasma is produced, how to control the magnetic intensity and direction in the magnetic conduit.
Technology Simulator: "The warp field has been generated!"
In Du Xingyu's mind, an artificial warp field has been formed around the warp engine, and even if the light passes here, it will be distorted!
