Chapter 12 Stargate
At this time, "Yanyun" was slightly shaken, started the jump engine, and the outside of the window suddenly became dark, because the jump speed of the non-stargate jump reached 1AU/S (5AU= 1 meters), which is 149 times the speed of light (light per second = 597 meters). At 870AU/S, there is no light outside the window. The energy carried by conventional starships can only jump arbitrarily within the star system. If you want to go to other star systems that are often calculated in light years, you must pass through the star gate. The principle is to create an artificial space wormhole, which can quickly pass through the folding space from one star system to another. The folded space is the most stable.

Specifically, the construction of stargates is based on artificial wormholes, formed by gravitational resonance in binary star systems.This resonance is equivalent to the friction between the gravitational waves of stellar objects.The greater the mass of celestial bodies, the stronger the resonance between them will be.The positions of planets in star systems and the complex structure of dust rings of large planetary bodies are affected by this resonance phenomenon.Due to the strong resonance phenomenon in the binary star system, in a stable binary star galaxy, the gravitational fields of the two stars will interfere with each other, just like the waves from the two wave sources will affect each other.

These steady waves form a series of standing waves, like the waves created by the vibrating strings of a guitar when it is strummed.The strongest resonance is the 1:1 resonance (called the first harmonic), where there are two stable points of the force field, one at each center of the two perseverances.The second strongest resonance is the 1:1 resonance (called the second harmonic), and its stable point exists at the middle point of the line connecting the two stars (assuming that the masses of the two stars are equal), and so on.At the nodes, a pair of opposing dynamical tensors formed by two rapidly oscillating antigravitational fields generates a strong shear force.

Normally, the interaction between this pair of shear forces is emitted by high-frequency gravitational radiation without producing any significant macroscopic quantum phenomena.But if that stress (the interaction described above) is confined to a finite range, then this tensor field ends up forming an ever-extending tentacle of high curvature, like a structure in the space-time continuum.Specifically, this tentacle will form a self-avoiding four-dimensional flow pattern, which makes the tentacle continuously extend outward.Just like the magnetic field in time-space, the curvature of the top of the tentacles reaches the maximum point, and a large enough curvature will make a small tentacles form in the distant high-density star field, and the two tentacles will touch and merge naturally.

A similar phenomenon in life is that when the lightning strikes the ground, the top of the falling lightning actually produces a small lightning that diverges upwards from the ground, and the two merge somewhere above the ground to form a closed current loop.Stargates are primarily composed of a sphere called a super-large boson, based on a fundamental force field of intermediate mass, that interacts strongly with gravitational waves.The object is filled with a plasma of superlarge bosons, which reflect gravitational waves in much the same way that a mirror reflects light.By adjusting the density of the plasma and reflecting high-frequency gravitational waves to counteract the shear tension, the generated radiation will be stored in the celestial body, and the internal gravitational stress at the resonance point will grow steadily like a network, and finally form a high-curvature tentacle.

Similar to this is the laser, which generates extremely interfering beams of dense electromagnetic energy by resonating in reflective cavities.The distance between the ends of the two wormholes depends on two factors: the mass of the stars in the binary system and at which resonance point the stargate is located.In order to connect two stargates, the application of trial and error methods is necessary, and usually takes many years.This is because we cannot predict where the tentacles formed by tensor fields will appear.But we can build up gravitational stress fields in neighboring galaxies, and the tentacles keep extending without reaching a critical point.Although it is still necessary to continue to try, the possibility of connecting the two stargates in this way increases.This is the same as using a lightning rod in a thunderstorm.

The first stargate built by the Elenites had a big limitation: Once a wormhole was formed and a ship passed through it, another wormhole had to be formed if another ship wanted to go through it.Since it takes days or even months to reconnect the two gates, it takes a lot of time for the ship to pass through the gate and wait for the tentacles to rematch.Whereas "stargate jumps" were built later to keep wormholes open for long periods of time, modern stargates can keep connections between wormholes open for decades before they reset.Furthermore, the first stargates built by the Erenians could only connect to and keep one wormhole open at a time, whereas today, several wormholes can be kept open at the same time, and the stargate can connect to multiple other stargates at once.In an ordinary binary star system, the effective jump distance of the star gate is about 15 light-years, with the exception that the star gate is built on the second star-to-star resonance point.This is because these nodes are very far away from the star system (usually up to 0 light-years away) and are difficult to use, and they have not been slowly developed until the last few hundred years.From another point of view, the stargates built on these points have a much larger distance range than ordinary stargates.

Of course, there are some strict restrictions on traveling through star gates.First of all, since the star gate needs to be built on the resonance point, it can only be realized between galaxies with two or more stars.In this case, there will be one-third of the galaxies that do not have the objective conditions for building stargates.Second, in a galaxy, only one stargate can be activated at a time.This is due to the random vibrations in the resonant field generated by the super large boson sphere. If more than one sphere is active in the same galaxy at the same time, they will become extremely unstable and difficult to control.For a ship to travel between wormholes, the ends of the two wormholes must be connected to corresponding stargates.

This means that ships can only jump in regular spaces where wormholes can be created.Because the tentacles will expand extremely in the longitude direction, it means that in the space coordinates, the wormhole will also expand in the longitude direction, and at the same time, the ray is in a ring shape.If the ship passes through the wormhole, there will be a large tilt, which will inevitably endanger the overall structure of the ship.Of course this can also be counteracted by the opposing forces of adjacent ships.Here, the super-large boson sphere is also playing an important role in the structure of the star-gate.As the spacecraft passes through the sphere of superlarge bosons, a monoatomic layer of superlarge bosons coats the surface of the ship.This surface layer can prevent the ship from being stretched and tilted to a certain extent by the resonance field, which protects the overall structure of the ship when the ship passes through the wormhole.Of course, this does not mean that the tilt does not exist at all. Even those experienced pilots will experience the feeling of the ship tilting downward when passing through the wormhole.

Because of the current science and technology, due to the limitation of expensive and scarce energy sources, generally only flagship-level starships are equipped with ultra-long-distance jump engines. As long as the energy tank is not damaged during flight, there is no need to replenish energy for a lifetime, and it only needs to be maintained in time.As for the ultra-long-distance jump engine used by flagship starships to jump between star fields, conventional energy sources cannot provide such a huge amount of energy, and can only consume 5 kinds of extremely rare energy sources that have been discovered so far that are kept secret by various countries, such as the small starry sky of Huaguo's regular flagship. The "Fairy Crystal" used by the mothership and the dreadnought ship, it is said that the super flagship large-scale starship carrier and the newly developed other side use the "God Crystal" whose purity is far superior to the "Fairy Crystal", the "Holy Light Energy" of the Ellen Empire, etc. Wait, and the specific minerals that these super energy sources are extracted from, this is the top secret of the state, and it will not be announced to the public at all.

However, if the flagship wants to jump to a star system within a certain star field, an induction force field must be prepared in advance for positioning in that star system. Turn it on before the flagship is ready to jump, but because the signal wave of the induction force field is too strong, the enemy will detect it immediately and prepare for the battle in advance, but when the induction force field is turned on, there are generally a large number of conventional starship troops Defend to ensure the safety of the starship that releases the induction force field, so it is difficult to obstruct it. Of course, the flagship can also perform space jumps autonomously when the fuel is sufficient, but this kind of jump based on the judgment of the gravitational field of different stars cannot be accurate Jumping to the position in the star system that you want to reach often requires azimuth correction after the jump to perform a second star system jump. This risk factor is relatively high. Once the conventional battle starship fails to escort it in time, it is likely to be taken The enemy seized it in advance and was destroyed by group fire, which would have caused a much greater loss, because the cost of an ordinary small flagship is about ten times that of a conventional battleship, and the Dreadnought-class starship is 25 times that of a battleship. The cost of the super flagship large-scale starship carrier is more than 200 times that of the battleship, not to mention the other side of the ultimate strategic starship, that is even more expensive, only Huaguo, Ellen Empire and other powerful superpowers to be able to build.
