As the place where the Xuanhuang civilization fell, and even more so as the place where the Tianyuan Star civilization rose, Tianyuan Star is still a super planet, and its importance is naturally self-evident. Moreover, such a huge life planet as Tian Yuan Star is rare in the entire universe.

Most rocky planets of this size will attract more gas, interstellar dust, and even compete with real stars for the atmosphere due to the huge gravitational pull, and eventually evolve into gaseous planets, or attract moths such as asteroids to fight fires. Perhaps if you accidentally suck too much, you will trigger nuclear fusion and become a star.

Of course, more large 'planets' will gravitationally get closer to the star and eventually fall into the star and become part of the star.

However, although Tian Yuan Star has many benefits, it is no longer the core of Tian Yuan Star civilization's 'handling of major affairs' at this time.

In order to better integrate into the Blue Star Group, the important office of the Tianyuan Star Civilization has migrated to Chizhuxing. In fact, this itself is also a kind of protection for Tian Yuan Xing, so that everyone can focus on this place, not Tian Yuan Xing.

It's just that there are a lot of problems here in the Red Pearl Star: the Red Pearl Star is more than 8,000 light years from the Tianyuan Star, and it is nearly 10,000 light years away from the constellation of the Celestial Society. When it comes to dealing with the constellations of the Celestial Society, especially the upcoming exploration of the Carp Nebula, there is always something out of reach.

Today's meeting will also be a closing of exploration activities.

In the future, Chizhuxing will be mainly responsible for the affairs of the Blue Star Group, and the exploration of the Carp Nebula will focus on Tianyuan Star in the future. They will even consider establishing a 'branch' similar to the Red Pearl Star in the constellation of the Celestial Society.

This time the matter discussed is very important, and Zhang Hao has arrived. And Liu Xinyu, who sits in Tianyuan Star all the year round, has also arrived. Of course, there is no need to discuss the private affairs of a pair of eating men and women who do not see each other all year round.

The seminar was held in the scientific research hall of Dayang Group. This time it was an interstellar exploration, which could be seen more as a scientific research operation than a military plan. Therefore, the meeting was placed in the research hall.

The research hall is not open to the public, it is a place for technical discussions within the Neptune Group, a place for discussion, not a place for research, and it is not completely top secret. Some technology-related things, often discussed here.

When everyone arrived, Zhang Hao, the president of Dayang Group, and Liu Xinyu, the president of the United Nations Parliament of the Tianyuan Star Civilization, sat side by side in the first place.

Bai Yutang made a speech first. The speech sounded impassioned, but there was not much new in it - nothing more than survival, progress, and self-improvement, all of which were clichés.

After the plan to explore the Carp Nebula was confirmed, everyone could already listen to such a speech. It's just that as a serious meeting, these formats still have to go a little bit.

Fortunately, Bai Yutang's speech was very brief. After announcing the official start of the meeting, Zhang Hao first asked: "Zhao Dahe, have you found a gravitational string in the constellation of the Heavenly Society?"

"Yes!" Zhao Dahe said categorically, "According to the data of the Tianyuan constellation provided by Eternity, we have extracted the corresponding means of observation and determined the existence of the gravitational string in the constellation of the Celestial Society.

According to research, we believe that the Zhoutian Great Array of the Zhoutian Galaxy is a large array constructed of gravitational strings. Using gravitational strings, it runs through the four-dimensional world and the three-dimensional world.

We are currently trying to explore the gravitational strings between the constellation of the screen and the constellation of the elderly, and several segments have been discovered. ”

Zhang Hao nodded, but then turned his head to look at Huang Mingshan, the representative of the scientific research theory of the Ocean Group, "Huang Mingshan, the theory of gravitational strings should be fine." But how to use the gravitational string, do you have results here?"

Discovering the gravitational string is only the first step, how to use it is the key. Previously, everyone also used it simply, that is, to travel through time and space within the influence of the gravitational string, which is more like going down the river, which can increase the fleet's forward speed by more than 50%.

But this means of exploitation is very primitive.

In order to use the gravitational string to travel to the Carp Nebula, you have to find a 'real way to use it'.

This difference is like using fire, but it is only with the advent of the internal combustion engine that the flame can be used to a new level. Zhang Hao wants to ask if there is a technology that can directly use the gravitational string.

Huang Mingshan opened a document very calmly and said word by word: "There is a little result, thanks to the Three Turns Tongtian Pill taken at that time, plus the recent research on "Zhou Tiangong".

Based on the available data and results, our research theory research department believes that the gravitational string itself fluctuates, which is the fluctuation of time and space. Between the crests and crests, troughs and troughs, there may be 'absolute straight lines across the three-dimensional world'.

To put it simply, our ordinary time and space seem to be the same, but there are actually many folds. This fold ...... It's like water with different densities stacked on top of each other. ”

As he spoke, Huang Mingshan turned on the projection equipment and projected a piece of 'sea water' of about ten meters.

"Look, this is our space, and it looks crystal clear. However, in fact, the refraction of different parts of water is different due to the difference in salt content, etc. We think of it as a straightforward one, but from the outside, the path of light through the sea is an irregularly curved curve.

In actual space, due to complex reasons such as the gravitational pull of the stars and the movement of galaxies, the fluctuations in time and space are more intense.

Therefore, in normal flights, our flight path is curved, and we are not yet aware of it.

But the gravitational strings are different!"

As he spoke, Huang Mingshan opened a new picture, in which an imperceptible undercurrent appeared in the seawater.

Huang Mingshan continued: "Look, this is an undercurrent. In the actual ocean, there are also ocean currents. Ocean currents are the vein of life in the sea. Through ocean currents, fish can migrate around the world. This is the ability of ocean currents.

And the ocean current itself is also because of the huge energy, directly through the sea water of different densities, forming a 'shortcut'.

In the same way, there are ocean currents in the starry sky, and that's what ...... Gravitational strings. There are a lot of energies in the interstellar space, and these energies are not splashed indiscriminately, especially under the constraints of the Zhou Tian Great Array.

However, the interpretation of ocean currents can only explain the three-dimensional world. The gravitational string, on the other hand, involves the existence of a four-dimensional world. The reality is more complicated.

But the explanation is also simple, we believe that the gravitational string is like alternating current, but the fluctuation of the gravitational string is not positive or negative, but the fluctuation in the three-dimensional world and the four-dimensional world.

The fluctuations of the three-dimensional world, the real space in series. This is the trough of the gravitational string.

The fluctuations of the four-dimensional world are the absolute straight lines we are looking for. This is the crest of the gravitational string.

We want to enter the gravitational string at the trough, borrow the power of the gravitational string to jump from the four-dimensional world, appear in the next trough, and then enter the gravitational string again. As long as we can catch the waves of the gravitational strings, we can achieve a real jump.

This kind of jump is not a simple teleportation. The distance of teleportation is limited, while the jump of the gravitational string is ...... Because it is through the jump of the four-dimensional world, the temporary theoretical research believes that the farthest can jump tens of thousands of light-years at a time. And the energy consumption is very low, because it is the gravitational string that carries the spaceship away, not the spacecraft breaking through space.

In the current research on gravitational string fluctuations, we still found something from the jumping ability of the giant beasts in the Heavenly Demon World. The demon beasts of the Heavenly Demon World are so powerful that this kind of pure energy can have a faint resonance with the fluctuations of time and space because of the powerful power of qi and blood.

Now we have used this method of energy pole resonance to study the first 'gravitational chord thruster'.

For the technical details of the gravitational chord thruster, please explain to Lin Yinghao, Leng Fengxue, and Ge Dong. ”

The technical research of Dayang Group is clearly hierarchical. Exploration and discovery, theoretical research, specific scientific research, technology and engineering construction have formed a strict but effective scientific research system layer by layer.

It was Lin Yinghao who spoke.

"It was an honor to have the opportunity to present the new technology on behalf of the entire research team.

The world is in motion. And any movement will have fluctuations. The best way to communicate fluctuations is to synchronize fluctuations and resonance.

Thanks to the accumulation of technology in the past, especially thanks to the data provided by Eternity and the powerful computing power of quantum computers, we have finally developed an experimental gravitational chord thruster.

We currently name this engine technology: space-time wave engine. The fluctuations caused by the gravitational strings are the fluctuations of space-time. That's why it's called space-time waves.

This is the second-generation chrono engine technology of the Ocean Group and the Tianyuan Star Civilization.

The first generation of chrono engine technology is a warp engine born 60 years ago. Later, although our technology has developed a lot, its core is still warp speed technology.

Warp speed technology is a kind of ultra-three-dimensional technology.

But the current space-time wave engine is a quasi-four-dimensional technology. Yes, quasi-four-dimensional, for the time being, we still haven't really reached the height of four-dimensionality. At present, it can only be said that some four-dimensional forces can be borrowed, and it is limited to gravitational strings.

Experimental space-time wave engines have been tested several times before, and the energy consumption per 1,000 light-years under the same load is only one-third of the best current warp engine. In the future, as the technology matures, it is expected to be reduced to 1/10. ”

"A tenth?"

Many people at the scene exclaimed, and even Liu Xinyu couldn't help but exclaim.

After so many years in the starry sky, everyone certainly understands what the concept of reducing energy consumption to one-tenth of the original is the concept.

Although the current starry sky is prosperous, the core area of the Zhou Tian Great Array is about 80,000 light years in diameter, and there are countless countries and cultivators like sea sand.

But everyone's use of energy is very pitiful.

Reiki comes from the transformation of living planets, and its direct source is the earth's core, and the energy source of the earth's core is nuclear fission.

The power of the stars comes from the stars, mainly under the influence of the Zhou Tian Great Array, and later the Ocean Group has the star transformation technology, but to put it bluntly, it still uses the power of nuclear fusion.

In spacecraft technology, nuclear fusion has always been used.

It wasn't until the explosion of Dayang Group's technology that there was cold nuclear fusion recently, but it was still nuclear fusion that was exposed.

At present, the utilization of energy in the entire Zhou Tian Great Galaxy has reached the ceiling, and nuclear fusion is considered the apex.

As for the dark matter energy cores, antimatter reactors, and quasi-four-dimensional space-time tidal energy stations in science fiction works, they all only exist in fantasy.

In short, under the current reality technology, it is almost impossible to improve the performance of the spacecraft on a large scale. Because energy itself is the biggest limitation. And the various material technologies are born out of the means of refining, and they have also almost touched the ceiling.

Currently, warships have two major energy consumption systems: the power system for flight over time, and the weapon system. As for the energy consumed by the life support system, etc., it is almost negligible.

In normal navigation, the energy consumption of overtime flight accounts for almost 80% of the energy consumption of the spacecraft, and the remaining 20% is cooling, defense, etc.

In the process of spacecraft combat, even if the spacecraft does not fly over time and space, the energy consumption of the weapon system can reach almost 60% of that of the spacecraft, and the other 40% is the stability, defense, and cooling of the spacecraft.

It can be seen that in the comprehensive energy consumption, time-space flight is the majority.

If there is a technology that can reduce the energy consumption of chrono flight by half, even if other technologies are not changed, the combat performance of the spacecraft can be increased by at least 60%. If the energy consumption is reduced to one-tenth of the original, even if other technologies do not improve at all, there will be no pressure to double the comprehensive performance of the battleship.

What's more, if the space-time wave engine is really added, the ship's maneuverability will evolve dramatically.

Under the exclamation and attention of everyone, Lin Yinghao proudly made a summary: "The space-time wave engine has completed the inspection, and we are already starting to design the production line. Mass production is expected in up to three years!

And the speed of the space-time wave engine, the speed of the temporary test, is already as much as five times that of the warp engine. When the technology matures, the speed will increase. ”
