Chapter 552: Life-Saving Technology

To be honest, it is quite difficult to explain such high-tech things to a bunch of business tycoons and government heads. Although this group of people can definitely be considered elites outside, the problem is that there are different types of elites. These people are political elites and business elites, and science seems to have nothing to do with them.

Fortunately, these people didn't ask me to explain anything in detail. They probably knew that they couldn't understand it. Besides, they never cared about these things. What these people care about most is what exactly we can get from those pilgrims.

Usually when facing ordinary people, these people will pay a little attention to their influence. Now, here are all the same people as them. Who doesn't know what they are like? So there was no need to hide anything, these people asked directly.

In fact, I think it is easier for these people to communicate at this time than when they are standing in front of the camera. At least they don't like to beat around the bush.

"In terms of what you can get from the pilgrims... I don't think there's much you can get."

"Why? Aren't they very technologically advanced?" The President of the United States reacted the most, because this base is in the United States, so if there is any output here, Americans will undoubtedly be the biggest beneficiaries. Although the current situation forces all countries to cooperate in order to survive, this does not mean that the world will be unified. Even within a country, there are still different classes and groups. Even if countries around the world want to cooperate now, it is only better than before. It is impossible to say that they will suddenly become like a family and everyone will selflessly share everything. . If that happens, it's either that they are lying to you or that they have an agenda.

In fact, not only the President of the United States wants to know this question, but other people also want to know, so I can only explain it to them.

"You just haven't thought clearly about this at the moment. In fact, you can know it if you think about it a little deeper. It is strange that we can get all the technology of the other civilization from the other side. On the contrary, it is normal to only get a small amount of things.

First of all, the first thing I want to tell you is that the pilgrims we see are not scientists of the other race. They are actually warriors. Of course, they belong to the type of commander, because this race does not have warriors who charge into battle. These guys are equivalent to our frontline commanders here. They are low-level officers and can command the most basic combat units. For such a person, you can't expect him to master many skills, right? If your captains or majors were kidnapped by a group of cannibals, it would be impossible for those cannibals to suddenly develop into a powerful military civilization just because they got an officer, right? "

Many people calmed down after hearing my words. yes. The previous idea was obviously too simple. The reminder of technological strength is a holistic improvement process. Let alone an officer, even if you are given an Einstein, it is impossible to copy the technology of the entire human civilization from him, right?

After calming down, these people could finally regain their thinking ability, and some people asked more reliable questions.

"Excuse me. It's impossible to copy the overall technology, but they should know some about individual aspects, right? Does this mean we may get some substantial benefits?"

I looked at the person who asked the question and nodded: "Your guess is very correct. Just like none of you sitting here are professional in technology, but if you are asked to go to a primitive tribe, as long as the people in that tribe are willing to take the initiative Cooperate with you in the development of science and technology. I believe it should not be difficult to copy the technology of the human industrial revolution in the short term, right? The same reason. We know that these pilgrims have strong technological advantages, so we will definitely take the initiative to cooperate with each other to restore the technology. When there is With our support, they can teach us some basic theoretical knowledge they have mastered. Even if these technologies are incomplete, at least the general direction is definitely correct. With the current level of human technology, we must orient ourselves on the premise of knowing the direction. Map, the speed of climbing the technology tree is very fast. Unfortunately, the killer of the solar system came too fast, and there is not so much time for us. Otherwise, just give us ten more years... No, just give us five more years, believe in our immigration The fleet will undergo earth-shaking changes. Unfortunately, it is too late to say anything now."

"Then what can we get? You seemed to have said before that you have completed all information exchanges. That means you have mastered the technology mastered by the other party, right?"

I nodded very seriously: "Yes, I have downloaded all the knowledge of the other party, so now I am actually not much different from those pilgrims. The difference is that I still live on the earth at the same time, so I am very Understanding what technologies we can replicate today and which technologies we need most allows us to focus our efforts on what is needed."

"So what technology should we develop first?"

I stretched out my hand, and the projector that had been placed on the table in the center of the room automatically displayed a very complex mechanical cross-sectional view in the air. These people can't understand the complicated instructions inside, but the general shape of this thing is very easy to recognize. The macro shape of this thing is actually very simple, it is just a row of very neatly arranged rings.

"The thing you are seeing now is called a mass accelerator. This is not the technology of the pilgrims, but the technology of the creators. However, this thing is not a military technology but a civilian technology."

“What do we need civilian technology for?”

"Highway paving technology is also a civilian technology, isn't it useless?" I said directly: "The thing you see now is a highway in the space age, but its principle is more like a cannon. Its working principle is A special force field is used to generate artificial black holes. As you have seen, this device is composed of a series of rings, and black holes do not exist for a long time. The ring itself is a device that generates black holes, and the black holes will appear in the circle. The center point of the ring is generated, but the time will be very short. When the black hole appears, the huge gravitational field will cause the spacecraft behind the black hole to be pulled by gravity and produce an acceleration effect. However, when the spacecraft starts to move and approaches a dangerous distance, the state changes inside The black hole will close, and a new black hole will immediately appear in the next ring. Using this method of step-by-step acceleration, the speed of the spacecraft can theoretically be accelerated all the time. Because the gravity field can exist beyond time, Therefore, this device itself is not limited by the theory of relativity. As long as there are enough acceleration levels, it is not impossible to accelerate to the speed of light. Of course, it is actually impossible to do that because too many accelerators are needed. And when decelerating, it is not impossible. An equal amount of accelerator is required to start in reverse.

Creators will use this kind of thing to build a space highway. The spacecraft will constantly pass through this accelerator and obtain external acceleration along the way. In this way, civilian spacecraft do not need to carry powerful engines and can sail at high speeds with only simple thrusters. , and because of the existence of this space highway, the acceleration performance of civilian spacecraft is actually very average, and the government will restrict the sale and installation of high-speed engines. In this way, it will be difficult for criminals or anti-government armed personnel to obtain high-speed spacecraft that can match those used by the military and police. In this way, the management of civilians will become very simple and easy, and the effect will be the same as that in many countries today. The gun ban in place is pretty much the same.

Of course, we don’t have time to build space highways right now, but we don’t necessarily need to build that many of them. The biggest advantage of this device is that it can be built independently. Each ring is a basic accelerator. There is no need to produce all the equipment at once. We cannot build the entire highway, even if we can only complete two or three rings. Then forming a series accelerator, the immigrant ship can be accelerated directly from the earth to obtain an initial velocity, and this initial velocity is provided by the accelerator. This can be achieved without consuming the spacecraft's own fuel. Imagine that each spacecraft can have hundreds of tons of extra fuel, and the initial acceleration can be several times faster than the original speed. How much time can this save? "

After understanding my explanation, many people at the scene became excited. Why is everyone so anxious to prepare to launch the spacecraft now? Isn't it just to prevent being affected by the upcoming supernova explosion? In fact, the real Destroyer is still decades away from crashing into the solar system. But according to previous calculations, we must launch at the end of the year, because if it exceeds this time point, the speed of these immigrant ships on the earth will not be able to escape the absolute killing radius, and in that case immigration will be meaningless. This is why everyone reluctantly abandoned a large number of civilians and forced the launch of immigrant ships. It’s not that we are cruel, but we really have no choice but to run away. Either save some people or die together. Which one do you think we should choose?

However, the situation now has changed.

If this kind of accelerator can be built, it means that the time required to escape the absolute killing radius is shortened, so there is no need for everyone to hurriedly launch immigrant ships. Having more time to prepare does not just mean that you can take more people, it also means that everyone can be safer, because more time means better preparation. Everyone knows which is safer, the calm completion of the entire plan or the burning haste to launch. Not to mention, this accelerator can also leave a lot of extra fuel for each spacecraft. More reserve fuel means more opportunities to avoid obstacles, and it also means that it can be accelerated or delayed when necessary. Deceleration time can speed up the voyage. Therefore, the significance of this acceleration is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and its usefulness is simply too outrageous.

The President of the United States asked again uncomfortably: "Can you calculate how many of these accelerators we can build, how much longer these accelerators can allow us to fight, how much the speed of the spacecraft can be increased, how much fuel can be saved, all of these are Detailed data?”

I first contacted Nuwa to borrow her computing center, and then said after more than ten seconds: "I just called the computing center at the headquarters to help with the calculations. Not counting the powers you have hidden, as far as the production is concerned, everyone knows Ability, we should be able to complete eight to ten accelerators before the final launch node, but if the power hidden in everyone’s hands is counted, I think 12 to 13 accelerators should not be a problem.”

"So these accelerators..."

As soon as the President of the United States started asking, I stretched out my hand to stop him and continued to speak directly: "Because of the material technology on the earth, our accelerator cannot perform extreme acceleration like the creators, otherwise the gravity of the black hole may tear it apart. spaceship, so our accelerator can't actually achieve the acceleration effect of the creators, but one-third of the effect is still there. We are more conservative and calculate based on 11 accelerators. As long as the spacecraft passes through 11 accelerators, its own speed will be There is hope that it can accelerate to 7,500 kilometers per second, which is much higher than the speed we can achieve by relying solely on the power of the spacecraft itself. Therefore, if nothing happens, I think we can at least postpone the final launch time by two years. "

"Really?" A large number of people cheered and stood up. This conclusion was so shocking. Two years! How many more immigrant ships can this create? Not to mention how many more people we need to take with us, it might even be possible to take more supplies with us. This conclusion is really exciting.

"Is this data reliable?" Chief No. 1 asked.

I nodded seriously and said: "This is still the most conservative calculation, and even if we postpone the launch for two years, the actual safety threshold will be much higher than the current data. With these 11 accelerators, we can even If we launch two years later, when a supernova explosion occurs in the solar system, we will be much farther than the current design, and the impact we will receive will definitely be lower. We will definitely be able to withstand the shock wave by then. Besides, as I just said, I actually expect There should be 12 or 13 accelerators, and 11 is the result of my intentional reduction of the number. This kind of accelerator is actually just a special theoretical basis. Humans have not yet mastered this theory, but the construction difficulty of this equipment itself is not high. After all, the creators use this thing as a high-speed kilometer. There are all these things on the planets in their territory. You can imagine how they can build so many if they are difficult to build?"

After hearing what I said, Chief No. 1 nodded happily and wiped his tears with a handkerchief. He was really excited. Postponing departure for two years, how many more things can be prepared? This is just like a flash flood forcing you to flee immediately and receiving a flash flood warning in advance, giving you two extra days to prepare. There is a huge difference between the two.

"Everyone, please don't get too excited. This is just one of the technologies that needs to be produced immediately. The Pilgrims actually have several very good technologies that we need to start researching and producing immediately."

"You say it, you say it." With the previous foreshadowing, now everyone looked at me with hope and waited for my introduction. (To be continued ~^~)
