Chapter 342: The Explosion of Science and Technology (7)

The reason for the failure of the curvature test flight was quickly found. As the spacecraft's curvature progresses, the higher and higher degree of curvature will continuously accelerate the very curvature of the flight speed. However, the continuous increase in the degree of curvature requires the continuous increase of the strength of the curvature gravitational field. However, the energy output of the antimatter powered engine of the test spacecraft is limited. The core reason is that the power output of the antimatter powered engine is not enough to sustain the increasing energy demand of the gravitational field that causes the curvature. "Hope needs to be equipped with a more powerful antimatter engine, otherwise, the curvature gravitational field cannot be made to work continuously. However, in this way, the failure increases the mass of the Hope, and the flight data entering the curvature flight state needs to be changed, and this At the same time, the output efficiency of the curvature engine will also change." "Yeah! Directly adding an antimatter power source will definitely not work. The overall design of the Hope's power system is the most appropriate. Adding a set of power systems will solve the symptoms rather than the root causes." The key is to start in the gravitational field. When flying to the curvature, the 'negative pressure' must continue to increase. If the self-contained pile body of the gravitational field can be maintained in balance,..." "No, no, it still needs to be improved. The power of the spaceship, creating a larger spaceship, and a stronger gravitational field, using 'large mass' to make the stress field 'stable', so that this kind of system will not be destroyed." "Increase How big? How to increase it? How big should it be? It is as big as a planet, is it possible? The key to the curvature of flight is the role of the gravitational field. However, the force field coefficient required for the curvature field to change cannot be ignored. Hope The spacecraft is adding an antimatter power engine, and if you want to enter the curvature field again, it is enough to triple the blasting energy of the spacecraft." ... Nuoda's command laboratory, scientists, you and I will analyze the next time. The improvement direction of the 'curvature flight' experiment, through everyone's efforts, they quickly found out the reason for the failure of this curvature flight. Hope's antimatter power engine continued to output energy, which could not meet the increasing curvature of the engine, resulting in insufficient energy supply, the spacecraft fell out of the curvature flight state, and the hull antimatter power furnace was damaged, resulting in this accident. Li Yang watched the scientists fall into an anxious discussion, but couldn't discuss a suitable direction for a long time, so he could only watch anxiously. He did not have the scientific literacy as his father, Li Yi. Therefore, Li Yang was helpless and unable to provide advice on many scientific research issues. He could only choose to trust them and trust them to quickly find a suitable scientific research direction. "Xiaoyang, it's okay, it's getting late, why don't you go back first." Zhou Shuzhi looked at his grandson, Li Yang, and gestured with a smile. "I can't help it, I have nothing to do now, just to see what they can negotiate to take over." Li Yang shook his head and insisted. "They couldn't discuss any good ideas for a while. If there is no way to increase the mass of the spacecraft, they can only continue to increase the energy burst intensity of the antimatter power engine. However, in this way, the volume of the fifth-generation curvature spacecraft will be increased. production, the production cost will increase a lot." Professor Zhou Shuzhi explained with a smile. "Grandpa, you have a way!" Li Yang asked excitedly. Zhou Shuzhi nodded and smiled, and introduced: "You don't even think about who developed the antimatter-powered engine, because of the need for safety, the energy output of today's antimatter-powered engines is suppressed in an extremely safe category. Therefore, in terms of energy output, To be more balanced, if more advanced super-strong materials are used to increase the energy output value of the antimatter power engine, and the annihilation pulse energy output is adopted, the energy output efficiency of the antimatter power engine will be increased by several times and dozens or hundreds of times." Wen Yan , Li Yang was overjoyed, the anti-matter power engine is precisely my grandfather's most proud work, he said that it can be done, it must be no problem. After Li Yang received Xingyao Technology, the company's development speed and the efficiency of technology improvement were far lower than when his father, Li Yi, was in power. He has never been able to deliver better achievements. Yang was under enormous pressure.

If the fifth-generation curvature spacecraft can be researched, then the pressure from the alliance and from within Xingyao Technology will definitely disappear. Li Yang desperately hopes for a grand victory, proving that there are no dogs. Once positive and negative annihilation occurs, the mass of positive and negative matter will all be converted into energy. According to Einstein's mass-energy formula E=c^2, huge energy is released. For all known physical reactions, this is the way of positive and negative matter annihilation. It is the most efficient way of generating energy under known conditions. For example, the annihilation of half a gram of antimatter produces the same amount of energy as the explosion of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. (That is, the energy produced by the annihilation of one gram of antimatter is about 20-30 kilotons of TNT equivalent. You can compare the effect of nuclear fusion fuel for each kilogram of interstellar spaceship engines. An ideal chemical reaction can produce 1×10^7 Joules of energy, Nuclear fission produces 8×10^13 joules, nuclear fusion produces 3×10^14 joules, and the annihilation of antimatter can produce 9×10^16 joules, which is 10 billion times that of the chemical reaction of hydrogen oxidation and 300 times that of the thermonuclear reaction of the sun’s core. Times. The energy generated by the annihilation of antimatter and matter the size of an aspirin is enough for an interstellar spaceship to cruise for hundreds of light-years. Increasing the number of instant annihilation of positive and negative matter will definitely increase the output energy of the antimatter power engine. According to Professor Zhou Shuzhi's suggestion, Scientists began the design of a new generation of antimatter power engines, and accelerated the improvement and development of the second enhanced version of the Hope, in preparation for the next curvature voyage. Li Yang was full of expectations and focused most of his attention on this project. However, , Just when Li Yang was looking forward to the second curvature flight experiment, he was interrupted by Da Hei's sudden and unexpected news. "What? How do you wake up father! Why?" Li Yang was refreshed and asked Da Hei with concern. "The White Eagle has discovered a complete alien civilization. When an alien civilization is discovered, it will automatically trigger the awakening of the master." Zhinao-Da Hei responded. "Okay! Good! When will I wake up, I will let everyone prepare. "Li Yang became excited and asked with concern. As for the news of the alien civilization discovered by the White Eagle, Li Yang had already forgotten about it. In the 57th year of the Alliance Calendar, under the strong request of Li Yi, his parents chose to choose together. Frozen dormancy, now 64 years have passed, I thought that they would not be awakened until they reach a hundred years. Who knows, my father also set a prerequisite, and the discovery of alien civilizations can wake them up. Knowing this condition earlier, Li Yang will definitely invest in a large number of expedition fleets to go to extraterrestrial galaxies to find alien civilizations. "At 10 o'clock in the evening, the wake-up mission has been issued." Zhinao-Da Hei feedback. "Okay! Good! Immediately inform all the Li family. People, let them all be present, as well as my grandfather, uncle, Director Sun, and others, ready to welcome the ceremony." Li Yang said excitedly. "Mr. Li, is this notice list ok?" Da Hei answered the order, A list of notifications was listed on the holographic screen. "Too many, children and grandchildren, don't participate yet." Li Yang frowned and gestured as he looked at the full screen list. After 64 years, the four brothers and sisters, all of them He has already married and established a business, and his expenses are scattered. He himself has three children. The children have married, and there are as many as seven grandsons and granddaughters. In addition to the younger brothers and sisters, a large family, Xiaorong, this boy got married early, and his son The marriage was early, and the great-grandchildren were about to hug him. "Okay, Mr. Li!" Da Hei answered the order, and the holographic screen immediately eliminated most of the candidates. "Father! Suddenly there are so many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, he is sure Don't get used to it! Even my son is 'older' than you, hum, let you freeze and sleep, let's see what you do when the time comes." Li Yang smiled badly, his face full of longing. 64 years! So many years have passed , Li Yang really misses his father and mother's company Companion, however, a company as big as Xingyao Technology needs him to manage and be responsible, so he can only barely hold on, and has no time to worry about his parents. Now, Li Yi's frozen dormancy was to be unsealed ahead of time. Li Yang stood up and walked back and forth, thinking about what to say to his father when we met, and to report on the achievements of Xingyao Technology? He hadn't been so happy for a long time, and for a while, his emotions were a little uncontrollable. "Da da da...," came the sound of rapid footsteps with high heels stepping on the floor. The next moment, the door of the office was pushed open, and it was a woman with a rhythm, with a similar resemblance to Li Yang. "Brother! What's the situation? We have to unblock it ahead of time, is it true?" The woman who entered the door looked at Li Yang excitedly and asked with concern. "Yes! Yes! Da Hei just informed me that the expedition ship White Eagle has discovered an alien civilization in an extrasolar galaxy. My father preset the awakening conditions in advance. If an alien civilization is discovered, he must be awakened in advance." Li Yang hurriedly explained. "What alien civilization, what's the situation?" Li Qing asked with concern. "Damn it! I was so happy that I didn't have time to watch it, Da Hei, hurry up and report the situation of the alien civilization in detail." Li Yang suddenly woke up, looked at the holographic screen quickly, and instructed. "Okay, Mr. Li, White Eagle, Captain-Lin Kai, after 136 years of ultra-long-distance voyage, when exploring the Kurt T86 galaxy 60 light-years away, he accidentally obtained a signal from an alien civilization. The attached content is divided, locked in a galaxy called Monica 131 light-years away, and discovered this alien civilization on the sixth planet of the Monica star. They call themselves the Thales civilization, which is a kind of carbonyl life outside the main body. Star civilization has a great similarity with human civilization, and next, are the characteristics of their civilization, and the history of the birth of civilization, ..." Zhinao-Dahei explained.

Immediately, the holographic screen appeared photos of the external image of the Thales people, the structure of the planet, the text of the civilization, the ecology on the Thales star, ..., etc., all kinds of strange alien knowledge, a Time washed away, Li Yang and Li Qing's cognition. The Thales civilization is an ancient civilization. It has been 30,000 years since they appeared in writing and recorded history. It has entered modern civilization for more than 4,000 years. The long night, because of the emergence of "electricity", finally revealed the dawn. However, it took them a thousand years to set foot on the planet and develop space, which is still a recent thing. This civilization believes in Thales, the universe god, many religious people, ... Now, they have formed a unified government, outward space development. However, limited by the speed of the spacecraft, they have not yet flown out of their own star system, so they have sent many nuclear-powered 'broadcast' spacecraft that can continuously accelerate, seeking to establish diplomatic relations with alien civilizations. This is highly similar to the operation before human civilization. After human beings entered modern civilization, they felt powerless to the vast universe, and there were many unknown things to human beings. At that time, human beings launched Voyager into outer space. The Voyagers carry the most creative space missions. Humans have done their best to drive Voyager's journey with the most remarkable achievements. They are the windows to the unimaginable world. Many mysteries of the solar system have been revealed by it. Voyager carried a kind of message in a bottle, a record that stored information about humans on Earth, to provide information to alien civilizations that might find them, and each probe carried a gold disk that carried silhouettes of humans, It's a messenger sent to the stars,... However, with the continuous advancement of human technology, a sub-beam spacecraft was created and leaped out of the solar system early. However, the Voyager is still working hard to leave the solar system. The galaxy of the Thales civilization in the holographic screen, from the 'Voyager' of the Thales civilization, it has been three hundred and sixty-three years now. At that time, Thaleswen, which was more advanced than human civilization, sailed with their broadcasting spacecraft. The speed has reached a speed of one hundredth of a light-year. After so many years of development, the level of technology of Thales civilization should be more advanced than that of human civilization. I don't know if they have developed a curvature engine, or wormhole spaceship technology. If their technological civilization is much higher than human civilization, how should they contact this civilization? Although they learned the information of the other civilization, they also carried a trace of goodwill, but the two civilizations were separated by more than 200 light-years. At such a close distance, once an interstellar war broke out, there would be no escape for human civilization. It was found that the impact of the Thales civilization on human civilization was enormous. Even Li Yang couldn't come up with an idea for a while, how to deal with this unexpected situation. "Brother, this civilization is so dangerous! Do you want to communicate with them?" Li Qing frowned, looking at Li Yang and asked worriedly. Li Yang was questioned, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while. However, his father, Li Yi, specially set the condition for waking up early for this reason. So, does he have a plan to solve it! "I don't know what to do! However, my father is about to wake up. Otherwise, ask him for his opinion." Thinking of his father, who was about to wake up from the freeze for this reason, Li Yang immediately had the backbone. Father can pre-set this wake-up condition in advance, there must be his reasons, and quickly signaled. "Yes! Dad is about to wake up, let him make up his mind on this matter! You are so cunning!" Li Qing was relieved and gave Li Yang a thumbs up. Li Yang smiled happily, like a child in his nineties. (
