Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 587: Goal-Tabby Star! (End of this volume)
When Zhang Yuan saw these parameters, he wrinkled his nose and nose, 2 light minutes, this number is only a small number in the astronomical unit, the distance from the sun to the earth, 1 astronomical unit is equivalent to 8.3 light minutes . One light year is equivalent to 63241 astronomical units.
But for human high-precision equipment, it is a very big number.
On the curvature missile, it is impossible to install a super telescope with a diameter of several kilometers, nor can it install a super-powered radar. How can it find a small target and then accurately guide it?
As for other space weapons, such as lasers and ion cannons, they have no guidance capability after they are launched, and the distance they can hit is within 2 light seconds.
Yes, only 2 light seconds!
Slow electromagnetic guns can hit within 0.5 light seconds.
Ordinary nuclear bombs are so slow and pitiful, they can only use drones for short-range projections.
"In other words, distance is still the best way to protect between civilization and civilization."
"In short, the curvature missile is the only weapon that can cause high damage to the curvature spacecraft at ultra-long distances, so we still have to develop...vigorous development!"
There was silence in the conference room, and some members who didn't know much about it began to whisper and discuss.
Zhang Yuan swallowed, what does this general mean? Just take this opportunity to ask for money nakedly!
Isn’t one curvature missile equal to a spaceship? The missile has to be equipped with a curvature engine, a super calculation with a high amount of calculation, and a dark matter tracking device to vaguely judge the opponent's track, and the cost is ridiculously high!
Oh, yes, it's already so expensive. The destructive power of this missile must be amazing, and the most powerful antimatter must be used in it!
Even so, the hit rate is still very low, one in ten thousand?
Zhang Yuan licked his dry lips, and saw the ugly face of the captain on the stage, and he couldn't help feeling happy... Fortunately, he was not the captain of this era.
Fortunately, the entire civilization is strong enough, otherwise it would simply not be able to withstand such expensive weapons.
The general ignored the experts in charge of national funding: "... Through long-term military exercises, we believe that the place of action of the fourth-level civilization is no longer limited to the cosmic string, but to avoid the cosmic string as much as possible, because Fighting near the cosmic string, high gravitational fluctuations will destroy the curvature motion."
"If we lose the curvature of navigation, even if we are stronger than the third-level civilization, it will become the difference between fifty and one hundred steps...We don't need to be on the same starting line as the third-level civilization."
Next, the cellular combat mode in the sub-light speed state is displayed on the screen.
Because the communication environment of the spacecraft is very poor under the super-light speed state, sub-light speed environmental warfare will become the mainstream mode of warfare in the fourth-level civilization.
The swarm of drones is like a burst of lightning, which wipes out the target on the planet at once, and even this "target defense system" hasn't reacted at all.
Various smashing differences, video display, watching Zhang Yuan dazzled.
He doesn't know if it's amazing or not, at least it looks pretty good, quite a gimmick. With his neural reflex speed and vision, it is impossible to observe the sub-light speed spacecraft in a semi-invisible state.
The problem is that the cost of the "curvature" UAV is surprisingly high. It has to be equipped with a quark energy chamber and a curvature engine. The capacity is limited. Unlike traditional UAVs, it is a disposable consumable... The cost of the human spacecraft is actually about the same. If you want to form a swarm, the budget is a lot.
The last link is to display the latest weapons: electromagnetic kinetic energy weapons, nuclear weapons, lasers, ion cannons, etc., are all old toys, but they have been upgraded.
The latest toy is the photon torpedo, which is an anti-matter weapon, and there are special electromagnetic pulse bombs that can specifically disrupt battlefield communications.
"People who have no long-term worries, must have near worries!"
"We will not choose to invade others, but we should have the ability to defend ourselves... I hope these weapons will enable us to protect ourselves from future crises! Thank you everyone!"
After the military representatives finished speaking, there was a round of applause from the audience.
Next, the two civilizations began to discuss the direction of future development, and most people still felt that they should go out and communicate with other civilizations.
Continue to stay here and study slowly, and there may be some progress, but it will certainly not progress by leaps and bounds as it was at the beginning. The technology that can be mined is almost finished.
In addition, the construction of the six large motherships is about to be completed, and the latest curvature engine will be installed, and the test flight will begin in a while.
So, after some discussion, people's discussion came up with their own goal-Tabby Star!
That is the Dyson ball!
This is the goal reached after a long period of discussion.
Tabby Star, code-named KIC8462852, humans have observed this planet for a long, long time.
In the 21st century, humans have discovered this planet whose luminous intensity changes periodically. Scientists at the time were very puzzled, thinking that some celestial body periodically obscured the star.
But after long-term observation, people finally identified it as a Dyson ball, and then believed that there was a more powerful alien civilization in the universe, which caused a huge panic at that time!
Speaking of which, this Dyson ball has a certain relationship with the "Earth Age" project.
If you have not observed this Dyson ball, people may still be obsessed with the idea that "human beings are the only intelligent life in the universe", just like a tribal chief in an isolated island, because they rule the entire island And triumphant......
The discovery of the Dyson Ball had a huge impact on humans at that time, and it first proved the existence of extraterrestrial life. Secondly... this is simply as powerful as the world, the difference between the sky and the ants!
Whether it is panic or excitement, the discovery of Dyson Ball at this moment has had a profound impact on the history of the entire human society.
Of course, up to now, people are no longer unfamiliar with alien civilization, but the Dyson sphere found in the galaxy is still the only one.
This is very mysterious and weird...
As far as mankind’s current perception is concerned, the Dyson Sphere is really useless. It is just a large solar panel that can collect all the energy of a star. It is indeed very, very powerful, but the fourth-level civilization will not lack energy. Why do you want to do this? Even if there is a real lack of energy, you can build thousands of quark energy chambers instead of building the difficult Dyson balls.
This is very strange.
It wasn't until later that people faintly guessed.
According to the star road map exchanged from the fourth level of civilization, it is a gathering place of a large number of interstellar civilizations, about 400 light years away from the current location, and members of the Amoeba faction form a trading market there.
In other words, a planet with periodic brightness changes can naturally attract the attention of interstellar civilizations. It has become the most important symbol of Orion's cantilever, and most interstellar civilizations will be interested in it.
Combining these kinds of things, human beings are still very willing to go to that place to explore the truth. By the way, they also want to invite the ally of the Thos civilization to go with them. One more ally is always more power.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, the Toss actually rejected this proposal: "It's a pity, friends of the new human civilization, we are indeed very interested in that Dyson ball. But we have just gained visual perception and think It will take a long time for this technology to spread to the entire civilization."
"After having optical perception, we collectively believe that the technological tree of my civilization is too crippled. We need to adapt to this new perception ability and develop corresponding technologies for optical perception to adapt to the new era. Therefore, we also intend to continue to develop here for hundreds of years or so."
"After this, we will choose to go there."
The choice of the Tussian civilization is also within people's expectations, because people have clearly discovered such defects in the process of long-term contact. The other party's choice is quite reasonable.
To have a new perception, you must first study its safety, and then slowly popularize, adapt, and develop new adaptive technologies. Maybe all the existing machinery and equipment will have to be modified. This is a huge amount of engineering.
And there is no need for human beings to wait for three to five hundred years. The so-called friendship between gentlemen is as pale as water, and most of the time, people still have to rely on themselves.
In this way, after the meeting, all the Thoths boarded their spacecraft and were about to leave. Before leaving, people also gave away some cheap technology, such as LCD screens, foldable personal phones, clocks, computers, VR glasses, etc. These technologies are cheap, but easy to use.
If the other party really adopts these things, they might have more common topics when they meet in the future.
Finally ~IndoMTL.com~ The two parties bid farewell to each other.
"May your civilization progress forever..."
A standard interstellar etiquette.
I really know the life in this set of etiquette, and I will never despise it, I know its weight.
As a representative of civilization, Zhang Yuan stooped slightly: "I also hope that your civilization will continue to improve."
"Goodbye, friends."
……
Thos civilization started its own spacecraft and left, and the new human civilization will embark on a new journey...
Goal, Tabby Star!
