Chapter 208: Chapter 208 Seed Plan
At the end of the conversation with Marvin, the head of state turned his attention to other science chiefs.
"Sir, the Empire has some questions to consult you. I hope you can use your knowledge to solve the problems of the Empire."
These chiefs of science behaved a little, and their expression showed a trace of consterrenment, and then they became cautious, just because the words of the head of state just now used the empire, not him.
This shows that in the next conversation, the head of state asked them on behalf of the empire as a whole, and its importance will be directly related to the foundation of the empire.
Under the awe-inspiring gaze of several chiefs of science, the head of state spoke slowly.
"The war is about to begin. Just in case, the empire needs to sow some seeds. With the current technology, can it sail safely and reliably across the stars? I want to know the feasibility of sailing across stars.
"If it\'s just safe and reliable interstellar travel, the empire already has such technology, but it can\'t be manned."
The answer was Neil, the chief astrophysicist of the Empire, who participated in all the space vehicles and architectural designs of the Empire. Although it cannot be said that every field has reached the top, but in terms of the comprehensive understanding of the space system, he said that no one dares to say the first and the second, and no one present has more say than him.
"The safety and stability of interstellar navigation is directly proportional to the time of navigation. The longer the voyage, the greater the probability of problems in the middle. Moreover, the celestial bodies are moving all the time. The slower the flight speed, the easier it is to lose its destination. Therefore, the faster the speed should be. According to my expectation, the safest and most stable Interstellar navigation is more than sub-light speed navigation.
"The empire can already sail at sublight speed?"
The Fier, who had been calm, couldn\'t help but be moved. Not only he, but also other generals. Neil nodded, but shook his head again.
"It\'s just that it can achieve the sublight speed of three adult body weight objects. Considering the factors such as life maintenance, deceleration, human endurance limit, food and so on, it is still not human to carry."
"I\'m curious, how do you do it at sublight speed? With the existing propulsion technology of the empire, the efficiency should not reach that level.
General Moppsch asked curiously that he couldn\'t think of any way Neil could do a sublight voyage.
Neil shook his head slightly and told the Fier his own idea of sublight navigation method.
"The so-called promotion, In fact, in essence, it is still the conversion of energy into kinetic energy. In an empty place like the universe, this essence is very obvious. Whether it is a cannonball or a missile, it can be easily intercepted by a laser. Change your mind to change the difference between sitting on a missile and sitting on a warship. Isn\'t it just a one? ? To navigate at sublight speed, you don\'t have to be limited to the propulsion engine.
"You can use the parent ring as an accelerated orbit to give the emitted object a high initial speed at the beginning, and then we can arrange a focusing lens in the stellar orbit and use the pulse beam to continue to accelerate the object out of the ring. After calculation, the object will eventually be t-light in this process. Get out of our galaxy quickly."
"How to accelerate to the sub-light speed is never a problem. The problem is how to slow down. It can be done through the long distance between stars, but after arriving at the destination? How to stop the launcher?
At this time, every general suddenly asked.
"Can\'t you use antimatter?"
"No, the mass of the emitter has determined that it must not be able to slow down by itself, even if it uses the precious antimatter of the empire."
The meeting fell into a brief silence. The dean did not say anything, and his eyes were tly, as if he was thinking about other things.
At this time, someone broke the silence.
"Serra, I have an idea that maybe it can solve the problem of deceleration."
A chief scientist spoke to everyone and explained his plan.
"You can use the gravitational force from the star to slow down."
"You mean, that gravitational slingshot accelerates?"
The head of state\'s eyes fell on the man and was a little confused about the other party\'s plan. According to his understanding, the gravitational slingshot is to accelerate the aircraft, but they are discussing how to slow down.
"Yes, but you misunderstood the head of state. The gravitational slingshot can accelerate or slow down, so that the emitter rotates and slows down against the celestial body. The kinetic energy consumed comes from the rotation of the celestial body. I think it is completely no problem to slow down the emitter at sub-light speed with a massive object as a star."
For the convenience of understanding, a projection of the reverse planet rotation appeared in front of the head of the state.
Looking at the projection and tapping the desktop with his fingers, the head of state is thinking about the feasibility of this deceleration scheme.
"But that kind of deceleration may continue to slow down for thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years after the launchant arrives at the destination. No one knows what will happen in this process."
The chief scientist already had an idea on this question, he answered.
"In the process of deceleration, you can gradually close the distance to the star. The greater the gravitational pull-in distance, the more obvious the deceleration effect will be."
"But in this way, the launcher needs to carry fuel, and the quality will undoubtedly increase." Neil reminded him.
At this time, another chief scientific officer made a proposal.
"In fact, the head of state can also add Guangfan technology."
"Light sail? That is the product of the light pressure theory you proposed not long ago?
The head of state turned his eyes to the man, who nodded and replied.
"Yes, the light pressure comes from the star, not the emitter. By changing the direction of the light sail, the fuel on the emitter can be banned. Only a small capacitor bottle is enough. At the same time, the light sail can also be used to generate electricity, so that the emitter will not have the problem of electrical energy depletion."
In this way, has a feasible solution for sub-light navigation across stars.
However, the seeds of the empire need not only sub-light speed sailing, but also some other technologies. At this time, the head of the state, who fell half of the big stone in his heart, gave his sister an inquiring look.
"Marvin, how is your hibernation technology going?"
"It is still in the experimental stage, with a success rate of 35%, and it will take some time."
"That can be put into use, and 35% is enough."
Before Marvin finished speaking, the head of state interrupted her words. The success rate can be made up by people. The most indispensable thing in the empire is people. The longer it takes, the more changes, and it is better for the seed plan to be implemented as soon as possible.
Sub-light speed navigation, light sail, hibernation, cloning, and the Finitives spliced these technologies in series in their hearts, and the seed plan of the empire gradually took shape.
"The last jigsaw puzzle of the seed is also collected. If there is anything else missing, it should be a suitable candidate."
