The road to technology

Chapter 691 Dyson Cloud

Yue Yuanzhou was considering the scope of the attack.

Naturally, the Infrastructure was not idle either. Following the appearance of black passages that should have been invisible in the void, the Infrastructure also moved in the universe like a teleport.

This type of movement used to be called stellar leapfrog, but since the Shenzhou civilization has long been able to move without relying on star energy, it is basically called time-space leap now.

It is by locating the coordinates of the destination, and then distorting the time and space with powerful energy, and pulling the time and space of the two places together to achieve the purpose of rapid movement.

There is a very vivid metaphor, moving from any point on a piece of paper to another point, the shortest path is not to connect the line segment between the two points, but to fold the paper in half so that the two points coincide.

The current mobile method of the infrastructure number uses this principle.

In a universe where the warp speed is limited to the speed of light, this is undoubtedly the best way for the Shenzhou civilization to choose.

Because it is an unfamiliar galaxy, the infrastructure number has no clear destination, and even the closest star system did not stop, but jumped to a position a few light-years away, released the probe, and then continued to start the jump, so Repeatedly send a large number of probes to the vast galaxy.

These probes are not only responsible for detection tasks, but also travel to the appropriate galaxy, duplicate themselves and establish star gates.

The universe is vast and boundless. Although this galaxy cannot represent the entire universe, it is still 190 light-years in diameter.Taking a jump of more than [-] light-years, and stopping for a while to release the detector in the middle, the infrastructure cannot complete the detection at once, so this kind of navigation exploration is actually a waste of time.

But none of the people on the infrastructure cared about it. After all, none of them had to worry about their lifespan, and it didn't matter how long they drove.

In this way, as the exploration progressed, time slowly passed, and the probes also began to spread to the starry sky.However, due to the unavailability of quantum long-distance communication, in the case of using gravitational wave transmission as an alternative, the speed of transmitting information is the same as that of electromagnetic waves, so it must wait dozens or even hundreds of years to send back the message.

At this moment, Yue Yuanzhou once again felt the vastness of the universe.

And in the following days, he also experienced another characteristic of the universe again, that is desolation, death and loneliness.
"In such an active galaxy environment, there probably is no life!" Yue Yuanzhou shook his head, turned around and walked towards the research institute.

In this environment, Yue Yuanzhou devoted his time to the research of dimensions and time and space. The Jijian has a complete database and has synchronized the data of the Shenzhou Academy of Civilization and Science.Therefore, he can continue to study on the basis of the achievements of the Academy of Sciences, and he is not used to the lack of ultra-long-distance real-time communication.

As soon as he walked near the research institute, he heard Gongsun Xing, who had already entered the working state, said crisply: "From the information we know, the space structure of this universe has a stability constant, which is similar to this universe. When distorted When the force of space-time does not exceed this stability constant, space-time is a stable and normal four-dimensional space-time,

Once it exceeds, a series of chain reactions will occur in time and space, or rupture, extreme distortion or even collapse, an extremely strong state of space-time gravitational potential energy will appear, and finally a black hole-like destructive force will appear, causing the curvature bubble to burst. This is the curvature of the universe. The reason why the speed cannot exceed the speed of light. "

In addition to Gongsun Xing, many researchers in the research institute are listening to her speech.

I saw Gongsun Xing continued: "So warp speed navigation can only approach this limited value infinitely, and it is impossible to reach or even exceed it. Because warp speed itself is carried out by using space to drag warp speed bubbles. It is conceivable that it is like the speed of light. Like the limit, the warp speed can only approach infinitely and cannot be reached or surpassed.

In such a universe, the only way to break the speed of light is through wormholes and stargates, just like we do now.Of course, there is also dimension jumping. Based on these materials, now we will discuss the dimension and communication issues, and strive to find the problem earlier than those old guys in the Academy of Space Sciences! "

Speaking of this, Gongsun Xing raised her long leg and slammed on the chair, shouting like a pyramid scheme: "Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" The researchers replied.

"A group of men didn't eat? Answer my mother, do you have confidence?"

"Have!!!"

"very good!"

"..." Yue Yuanzhou, who hadn't shown his face yet, was speechless. He didn't expect Gongsun Xing to have such a side, and he didn't know where he learned it from.

At this moment, Yue Yuanzhou, who was about to continue walking, suddenly paused, and then heard the voice of Dragon Scale ringing in his ears through the communicator.

"Boss, this ship has discovered a star with an abnormal spectrum. Its luminosity has significant changes in brightness and darkness. Preliminary analysis shows that the star is frequently blocked. The infrastructure has switched to a giant optical telescope for observation."

"Oh?"

Yue Yuanzhou paused, and continued to observe the situation of the research institute for a while. He felt that it was okay if he didn't participate, so he turned and walked towards the bridge.

When he came to the bridge, the specific observation results had already come out.

So he looked at the illusory projection, but when he saw it, Yue Yuanzhou froze for a moment: "Eh, this is? Dyson ball?"

Really, oh. It should be said that it is the Dyson cloud. How can civilization be so painful to build this thing!
He was very interested, and there is a good saying: civilizations without Dyson spheres long for Dyson spheres, and civilizations that can build Dyson spheres do not need Dyson spheres.

Well, the so-called Dyson sphere refers to the use of technical civilization to build a giant artificial structure to wrap the entire star, so as to obtain most or all of its energy output.

But because the mass of a star often accounts for about 99.8% of the star system it constitutes, it is impossible to have enough material in the star system to build a Dyson sphere that wraps the star.

Then it can only be constructed by transporting materials from other galaxies, but since they can already go to other galaxies, then this civilization does not need to use star energy in one place. There are so many stars in the universe, and for those capable of large-scale interstellar There is definitely no shortage of energy for the civilization of long-distance voyages.

Few civilizations built Dyson spheres like this.

A Dyson sphere is of course impractical, but a Dyson cloud is possible.

For example, humans in the 21st century already have the technology to build Dyson clouds, and there is no need to add new theoretical breakthroughs. Orbiting satellites or solar sail technology can be used to build Dyson cloud structures.

Utilize the powerful industrial capabilities of technological civilization to build a dense number of independent structures surrounding stars, similar to clouds in the sky.Numerous solar sail-like clouds form a huge ring-star structure.

The advantage of this is that it can be modularized, which is easy to build gradually, and the material requirements are much lower than that of Dyson spheres, and the size of various 'clouds' can be chosen by oneself.But there is also a downside, such a 'cloud' of stellar energy collectors would alter the intensity of light emitted by a star system into space.

In this way, it is easy to be exposed to the eyes of civilizations hidden in the depths of the universe.

Just like the current civilization, it was discovered by the infrastructure number.
