Chapter 687 Holographic Technology

The so-called cockpit must naturally be connected to the consciousness-synchronous device, but it is obvious that humans cannot and do not need to make such advanced things. Humans only need to build at least 8,000 cockpits according to their own ergonomic design and reserve the connection ports as required.

According to the intelligent system, when the "consciousness synchronization device" is deployed, it will automatically connect to these reserved ports to achieve consciousness connection. Humans don't know how the awakener's "consciousness synchronization" device will connect to their creations, but they don't need to know, just do it.

Fortunately, humans had already carried out another round of industrial upgrades before this, and factories producing new force field materials and strong materials had already appeared, so they could be put into use the moment the new ship plan began. The same was true for other manufacturing industries, such as antimatter factories.

So after the astronomical-grade particle collider, mankind once again entered a vigorous era of large-scale construction, and this time, it was only to build a new flagship.

Five hundred years of vicissitudes, in the Earth era, is considered a great change. But in the interstellar era, it is only enough for humans to complete the construction of a flagship.

As the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes. But in this human flagship construction plan, changes have promoted the plan.

During this long period of time, in addition to dismantling astronomical telescopes, recycling their materials and then using them to build new flagships, humans have never stopped their exploration and research in the field of science and technology.

During this period, mankind continued to improve in applied technology, and many branches of science and technology had endless application results, which all played a promoting role in the construction of the new flagship. Many new technologies and new creations were used on this new flagship.

Similarly, over the years, mankind's application technologies at the fourth level of civilization have become increasingly mature, and various manufacturing processes have also reached the fourth level of civilization.

The most noteworthy thing is that under the framework of the grand unified theory, mankind has finally succeeded in mastering holographic imaging technology.

Holographic imaging technology is also called holographic screen technology. Humans are actually very familiar with this technology. After all, basically all movies and TV series related to science fiction have holographic screens, which is considered a standard technology of science fiction.

From this perspective, it is a common technology.

But in reality, this technology is not as easy to achieve as in science fiction movies, because the technology it involves is not just video display. To truly master it, this civilization must have extremely deep research in optics, electronics, aerodynamics, and informatics, and research in force fields is even more important.

It can be said that the holographic screen technology, which seems to appear in every science fiction movie, contains a lot of pre-existing technologies. The core ones are force field shaping extended from force field control technology, optoelectronic confinement technology, sensing technology between ergonomics and force field, as well as data collection and processing, holographic imaging technology, interaction and display technology, etc.

After all, a true holographic screen is not just a holographic projection, but a three-dimensional screen without physical frames. At the same time, the content and displayed objects on the screen can be grabbed, moved, rearranged, etc. through manual touch.

If it is just traditional holographic projection, then humans have already done it in the Earth era, which is a technology that uses the principles of diffraction and interference. For example, some museums and stages use this technology for display, and people can see virtual singers such as Hatsune Miku appearing, which is the application of holographic stereoscopic projection equipment.

But that is just holographic projection, which is completely different from the technology that appears in movies and TV shows, where you can grab every structure in the holographic screen with your hands and rearrange it according to your own wishes. And now humans have achieved this technology.

After the holographic technology is upgraded, people will only need to press a button like turning on a computer, and a holographic screen that can be operated by hand will appear on the workbench in front of them. People can also set whether their operations are synchronized to the server in real time.

This technology not only facilitates the crew on the warship, it can also provide a very concrete research perspective for scientific researchers such as those conducting mechanical structure research.

For example, for an engine, designers previously needed to use a mouse to operate a computer to draw its structure, and then use various software to test its feasibility. But now it is no longer so troublesome, because designers can directly grab parts one by one and add them to the visual 3D model. After the simulation runs, they can even zoom in or out the 3D model to see every detail of the model's operation.

It can be foreseen that this technology will be applied at all levels of human society.

When the humans have completed the comprehensive upgrade, the new living spacecraft will be full of these touchable three-dimensional projection screens in the operation room. It is conceivable that the living environment of humans will be completely new, and it will become a sci-fi environment at a glance.

If the virtual operating UI created by the brain chip is a technology in the field of spiritual consciousness, then today's holographic technology is an advancement in the operating system at the physical level of the visible real world. Compared with the virtual UI created by the brain chip, its advantages are more precise operation and more comprehensive functions.

Now, all display devices on the new flagship use holographic technology.

Time cuts at every life like a blade, while also shaping civilization. As the planned construction time gradually approaches, the void that was originally empty is gradually replaced by a huge warship.

The warship's head is a huge caliber naval gun, which is now covered by its glittering silver shell, and its various secondary guns are also hidden under the movable shells. Therefore, at this moment, the new Lyra looks like a large melon seed with a smooth surface and a very streamlined beauty.

In fact, there is no air in the universe, so humans don't need to design warships into such a streamlined shape. After all, the new Lyra is unlikely to land on the surface of a planet. But the designer did not allow his aesthetic cells to be wasted, so such a battleship came into being.

This design has been approved by the new government, and new warships built by humans will follow this template. Of course, warships manufactured in batches will not have the same configuration as the Tianqin, after all, the cost of building a Tianqin is too high.

Just looking at the time cost, it would take five hundred years of the entire civilization's efforts. If humans build new warships according to the standards here in the future, they won't have to go anywhere else.
