Chapter 571: Star City No. 4 Lost Contact
The dancer's dance has just begun.
The magnetic ring of Star City 1 is installed outside the star system.
Yan Xia and Chu first observed that the dancer accelerated to 221456km/s and then completed the acceleration. The Angola funnel cooled down and all energy was exhausted.
The dancer then activated several small boosters, increasing the speed by an additional 74km/s.
Although the speed has reached such a high speed, it is still 180 billion kilometers away from the outer reaches of the star system.
After 92 days, the dancer reaches the magnetic ring.
The diameter of each magnetic ring, that is, the accelerating ring, is 20 kilometers, but only one spacecraft can pass through it every hour.
It doesn't matter whether you are a 10,000-meter-class battleship or a 100-meter-class starship.
The distance between acceleration rings was originally about 100,000 kilometers.
It can give the spacecraft 1 to 2 seconds of acceleration time.
Because of the need to test dancers, this distance was extended to 300,000 kilometers.
There are 15 rings in total.
Each ring provides an acceleration of 1200km/s.
In fact, there are versions with more rings, up to 24 rings, with a speed increase of 28,800km/s.
But only a few capital-level star cities in the Federation have them.
The main difficulty lies in establishing the stability of the magnetic field. After all, each acceleration releases a large amount of magnetic force, which can affect each other even if they are 300,000 kilometers apart.
The transmission of magnetic force is only a few times faster than that of a spacecraft. The further you go to the back, the more times the accelerating ring will bear the magnetic force.
There are 15 acceleration rings, and the last one has to withstand 14 magnetic influences.
In fact, each one has to withstand so many times, but the last one has to complete another acceleration after withstanding so many magnetic impacts, unlike the others, which can start to rest.
After all, the acceleration ring is not only turned on at the moment of acceleration. Although it is in standby mode the rest of the time, it is also in operation.
These magnetic impacts cause huge losses to electronic equipment.
The accelerator ring is one of the few pieces of equipment in this era that requires annual maintenance.
Eventually the dancer was accelerated to 23s.
"It's a pity that it didn't reach sub-light speed!" Subaru sighed after seeing the numbers and stopping.
Yan Xia doesn't care about this.
Being close is also success.
But it is estimated that Huo Si Di will not give in.
"After charging, Hoss will continue to use thrusters to accelerate until it reaches 240,000 kilometers per second."
Chu was stunned for a moment and thought about Huo Si Di's character. He would indeed do this.
Husidi was quite calm before, but after learning about the existence of Chu and Yan Xia, he seemed to have let go of some baggage, and his personality became more out-of-the-box.
"That's right."
"Then there's no regrets."
In fact, if there is a self-charging battleship, it can actually accelerate to close to the speed of light as long as it lasts long enough.
However, the battleship itself requires too much energy, and it takes too long to recharge itself. It is estimated that it will take tens of thousands of years to complete the recharge, and it is estimated that it will take 100,000 years to approach the speed of light.
That's too long. That's not what a battleship is for. After it accelerates, it still needs to use energy for war. It's impossible to accelerate a second time, let alone a third time.
In fact, Yan Xia had earlier thought about adding energy midway, which could indeed increase the final speed of the battleship, but it was completely unnecessary.
The improvement is not that big. After all, in order to increase energy, the battleship must first accelerate to half speed and consume half of the energy.
If the battleship has reached its maximum speed, how to ensure that another battleship that can continue to supply energy to the battleship can still have excess energy while maintaining the same speed as the powered battleship?
Yan Xia also thought of a way to make a charging track.
But if you have the money to buy a few acceleration rings, wouldn’t it be the same?
So this thing was shelved.
It's useful, but it's only useful for speed, and it's all disadvantages in other aspects.
"Just wait now. Contact with Star City No. 4 has been lost recently. The matter can be said to be quite serious." Yan Xia and Chu returned to the underworld from the Yang world.
In the underworld, Yan Xia asked Chu about his views on the incident in Star City No. 4.
"I believe this was a premeditated incident."
He gave the definition directly.
"Although it spans nearly a thousand years, there is one thing that has always been strange."
"That means we didn't get any information about any problems in Star City 4."
They knew something was wrong with Star City No. 4, but they didn’t know what was wrong with Star City No. 4.
If I had known, each of the three of them would have absolute permission to the Eternal Reincarnation Star Country.
They didn't even know.
This is no longer strange to describe.
"Indeed." Yan Xia nodded.
What Tsubaki didn't know was that he had contacted an attachment from Ella about Star City No. 4.
That attachment also didn't get information about Star City No. 4.
You must know that Ella's accessory permissions are only lower than Ella's.
"If it were not premeditated, it would be impossible to cut the information so without leaving any trace."
"The most important thing is that those in Star City No. 4 don't even know what the problem is."
This is equivalent to something going wrong where you live, and you know there is a problem, but you just can't find where the problem is.
In fact, you can't even tell what went wrong.
Previously, Star City No. 4 could be contacted.
And now the complete loss of contact means that things over there have entered another stage.
In fact, they had advised Huo Si Di not to go before.
It was just that Huo Sidi insisted on going.
Given the strangeness of Star City No. 4, the possibility of being attacked by a higher civilization could not be ruled out.
It was dangerous for Huo Sidi to go.
But he responded to Yan Xia and Zhuo with one sentence.
"My Star Country, if I can't solve it, then no one can solve it."
In fact, the implication was that Yan Xia and Zhuo would not intervene.
One of the three of them had to go to solve this matter.
Does Zhuo want to go?
It's probably unlikely.
Does Yan Xia want to go?
He did want to go, because of the meta-cell, he was almost immortal.
But he didn't want to waste time. His main goal had been determined, which was the civilization alliance and the flying civilization, not the matter of a star city.
He hoped to find out the matter of Star City No. 4 clearly before intervening to solve it remotely.
But that would take quite a long time.
And Huo Sidi didn't want to wait that long.
In short, their ideas conflicted on this matter.
"In fact, not only Star City No. 4, but also some places in the Federation have seen strange things."
"Maybe there is some connection."
"It's just that we can't dig deeper."
Yan Xia here knows a lot of things, including the things about the Kehua Star City Group.
"Doesn't that mean that there are advanced civilizations involved?"
"Aren't they afraid of the top civilizations inside the nuclear sphere?" Yan Xia didn't understand.
Yan Xia judged.
"I guess they are testing the bottom line!"
The war in the nuclear sphere has made some civilizations ready to move.
