Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 832 Dissipation Trap
The space channel actually makes use of the space distortion. By discovering and searching for the space distortion produced by the massive celestial body, the purpose of interdimensional space navigation is achieved. The space channel itself does not cause space distortion, but only acts as a bridge. The space distortion parts produced by mass celestial bodies are connected together, so as to form a channel that runs through and can exist stably in a short time.

It can be seen that the premise of the space channel technology is space distortion, and the space distortion can only be caused by massive celestial bodies.

Because there are many star systems in the star system, and there are more massive celestial bodies, such as black holes, the space inside the star system is highly distorted, thus providing a good foundation for space passage.The problem is that there are no massive celestial bodies or even celestial bodies in the vast universe of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of light years between star systems. The space is completely extended, and there is no basic condition for opening space channels.

To put it more vividly, each star system in the star system, as well as many isolated celestial bodies, are actually like islands densely distributed in the sea, and the space channel technology is just a hypothetical bridge between these islands, so that it can quickly and conveniently From one island to another.The star system is equivalent to an archipelago, and the two archipelagos are extremely far apart. If the space channel technology is still used, it is necessary to build a bridge across the entire ocean, which is not only more technically difficult, but also more costly.It could even be argued that the technology used to build bridges between islands simply cannot be used to build a bridge across an entire ocean.

Of course, this ocean is not a natural moat.

Although it is impossible to build a bridge, you can use the most primitive means to reach the other side, that is, the speed of light space technology. The scientists who proposed this method are the first initiators of the "Spark Project".It's just that at the time, most scientists did not agree with this primitive method.

It’s very simple, even if you travel at the speed of light, it will take at least 1 years to reach the nearest southern Alpha galaxy, and it took humans only 5000 years to complete the exploration and development of the entire Milky Way from the end of the first era to the end of the second era .If a similar civilization exists in the Southern Alpha galaxy, 1 years is enough for it to control all star systems.After 1 years of arduous flight, human exploration spacecraft will face a powerful civilization when they reach the Southern Alpha Galaxy.Obviously, even if the technology mastered by humans is more advanced, it is impossible to use the technology 1 years ago to defeat the civilization that ruled the Southern Alpha galaxy.

At that time, the most concerned one was the "Project Project", to be precise, the "Project Project" after the second revision.

In the beginning, the "Project Oracle" was a general plan for space technology across the star system. Strictly speaking, the "Project Spark" was also a branch of the "Project Oracle".After all, in the stage of theoretical exploration, no matter whether it is feasible or not, as long as someone proposes it and proves that it is feasible in theory, it will be taken seriously, and it will become a research direction, and obtain the resources needed for continued research.After the first correction, the focus of the "Divination Project" is on the energy source for space jumping, that is, to find a kind of energy source that is powerful enough to support its interstellar system space channel, and exists stably for a long enough time, Let the spaceship pass smoothly.However, with the deepening of the research, this road was quickly blocked, because in theory, the energy needed to maintain the stable existence of the inter-star system space channel for a long enough time exceeds the energy required to form the Milky Way and allow the Milky Way to exist stably The sum of the original energy.In other words, even if all the original energy in the Milky Way is used, it is absolutely impossible for the spacecraft to reach the neighboring star system.

It was against this background that the "Divination Project" underwent a second revision.

This time, the focus is on space compression technology.

To put it simply, if the space between star systems can be compressed, to be precise, the space between star systems can be distorted, then the internal size of the space channel can be effectively shortened, the time for passing through the space channel can be reduced, and the space can be compressed The time the channel exists.

In theory, this approach must work, and more feasible.

However, its technical difficulty far exceeds any theory proposed before.

The key is, how to distort the space between star systems?
You must know that the only thing that can cause space distortion is mass, and only massive celestial bodies can significantly distort the nearby space, meeting the minimum requirements for opening space channels.In the vast space between star systems, there are no large-mass celestial bodies at all, and there are no celestial bodies worth using. There are only some extremely low-density particles, and various rays and electromagnetic waves that have no mass at all.

It can be said that if this problem cannot be solved, then this set of theories is just a theory.

It's just that human ingenuity is shown at this time.

Shortly after the theory was proposed, a human scientist proposed a solution technology, which was also verified in the laboratory, namely "mass transfer technology".The core of this technology is actually still the space channel, but what is used to transmit is not a spaceship, but a massive object.To put it simply, it is to transfer a large-mass object to a certain target point through a space channel that is opened in advance and only exists for a very short time, thus causing the space distortion of the target point.Although the existence time is very short, it is enough to open a larger space channel and allow the spaceship to reach the target point at the speed of light.Because the space distortion caused by massive objects will disappear as the forward space channel is closed, the spanning distance of the main space channel opened later must be strictly limited.Of course, this is not the main problem, as long as the forward channel is continuously opened, the main space channel can be continuously opened through the space distortion generated by it, so as to realize the cross-star system navigation.The real problem is the limitation imposed by the size of the forward space channel on massive objects.Simply put, the object must have a large enough mass but a small enough size.

After in-depth research, human scientists have discovered that the only massive object that meets the requirements is a black hole.

If that's all, it's not a big problem, because there are many black holes in the Milky Way, and with the technology mastered by human scientists, transferring an ordinary black hole is not troublesome, at least there are no obstacles that cannot be crossed, all that is needed is time, and enough input.

The problem is, that's not all there is to it.

After conducting an experiment for the purpose of theoretical research, human scientists discovered a new phenomenon, and it was an insurmountable obstacle.That is, when the black hole leaves the star system and is in the space between the star systems, it will die out quickly.Later, this phenomenon was theoretically explained, that is, in a fully extended space, the original energy density is too low, and the black hole itself is an accumulation of original energy, so when it is in an environment with low original energy density, the huge The mass will be transformed into primal energy to fill the surrounding primal vacuum.In fact, this process has been going on, just because the space inside the star system is highly distorted, and the original energy density is not low, so the dissipation speed of the black hole is very slow.In the space between star systems, black holes dissipate at an alarming rate because there is little original energy.More importantly, the speed of dissipation has little to do with the mass of the black hole, because the greater the mass of the black hole, the higher the original energy accumulation, and the faster the dissipation speed, so the time from dissipation to death is related to the mass of the black hole Not directly related.

How long is this time?

According to the theoretical calculation results, it is between tens of milliseconds and hundreds of milliseconds.

Obviously, too short.

Even if the spaceship enters the space channel at the speed of light and flies at the speed of light, the compression rate reaches [-] times, which is the limit level at that time, and the distance that the spaceship can fly through the space channel is only a few hundred to a few thousand light seconds. The number of space jumps required for [-] light years is an astronomical number.

This barrier is called a "dissipation trap" by human scientists.

However, human scientists did not give up because of this.

In order to overcome the obstacles posed by the "dissipation trap", human scientists can be said to be exhausted, not only using a lot of resources, but also a lot of manpower.It wasn't until the last few hundred years of the Second Era that a key breakthrough was made with the "instantaneous jump" theory.

The theory of "instantaneous jump" is not complicated, the key is only one point, which is to sequentially open multiple space channels that have been set up in a very short time, and to greatly shorten the internal size of the space channels through a highly compressed method, so as to achieve extremely To achieve the purpose of sailing across the star system in a short time.The core of the theory is still "mass transfer technology", but it is necessary to transfer multiple black holes at almost the same time.

Strictly speaking, "instantaneous jump" is not a theory at all, but a technical innovation.

Because there is no breakthrough in theory, the technical difficulty of realizing "instantaneous jump" is more difficult, and the requirements for all aspects are also higher.

The most critical thing is that it is necessary to transfer multiple black holes at the same time, and they must be black holes with a large enough mass, so as to generate a large enough space distortion, and ensure that the internal size of the opened space channel is small enough, so that the spacecraft can pass through the space within a limited time aisle.

In fact, this is also the root of disaster.

Very simply, there is only one black hole that satisfies the condition, that is, the central black hole of the Milky Way.

Although after that, human scientists have made many innovations in technology to reduce the difficulty of realizing "instantaneous jump", but limited by theory, none of these technological innovations can solve the most critical problem, that is, to realize "instantaneous jump". The "jump" had to take advantage of the central black hole of the Milky Way.

After hundreds of years of research and the resolution of related technologies in all aspects, the Human Science Committee finally passed the resolution to activate the "Momentary Treaty".As for the final result, it is not a secret at all, that is, the "world-ending disaster" that led to the complete destruction of the Milky Way.
