From black technology to super engineering

"I'm so stupid, really."

Ye Ming stood up and kept walking up and down the basement.

Ita's neck also twisted and twisted with his movements.

"You're right, but you're also wrong." Ye Ming's mind was racing with 10,000 thoughts, he stood still in front of Ita, and kept taking deep breaths.

Ita looked at him, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his voice: "Please don't use uncertain and illogical sentences."

"Well, you're right, it's true that the power isn't enough. But you're wrong because it's not useless—it's a fact that it can disturb spacetime and change its curvature."

Ita: "... let's talk about your stupidity."

"Well, I should have thought a long time ago that the gravitational confrontation will definitely bring about a change in curvature-of course, it assumes that we can travel through at least some kind of 'black hole' to complete the long-distance travel."

"Thus, we don't have to think about whether it is strange matter, dark matter, or simply high-dimensional space that maintains the wormhole."

"Then what?"

"Then, the curvature engine may be feasible." Ye Ming looked at Ita with burning eyes: "You said, is there a possibility that this is the technology of the curvature engine? At least it has the same origin and the same theory."

"have no idea."

"Well, you don't know." Ye Ming continued to walk around.

"We assume that the civilization where the system is located has mastered the grand unified theory—in my opinion, that is inevitable—then they must also touch the dimension, and it is impossible for them to be inferior to me."

Ita entered the state of proficient flattery: "Yes."

"Then, logically, they have the ability to allow spaceships to travel across space—and according to the principle of Occam's razor, if a set of force field generators can solve the problem, it will definitely not be a pain in the ass. Make a set."

"Yes."

"Then," Ye Ming stopped again, looking at the disassembled parts: "What it generates is actually a space bubble—when the high-dimensional membrane completely wraps the spaceship, it becomes a space bubble."

"30 years ago, Alcubieri created the Alcubieri metric based on a science fiction drama, and proposed the model of the bubble curvature engine."//This is true.

After he and Professor Hollein kicked off the prelude to touching the dimension, the mathematics and theoretical physics circles began extensive research, and of course the involvement of curvature spacecraft was also essential.

If only the Alcubieri metric was reliable in the past, now, various hypotheses emerge one after another, compressing the space ahead, and passing through wormholes, especially recently, with the confirmation of long-distance communication, there is another voice Noisiest the loudest - sending the ship into high-dimensional and back out again.

All in all, it's hot.

But among many hypotheses, Alcubieri's "bubble scheme" is actually the most perfect in theory - because it conforms to the general theory of relativity.

According to Alcubieri's plan, the curvature spacecraft is to continuously change the curvature of space-time around the spacecraft, so that the spacecraft can continue to move forward in space.

It’s just that the biggest problem with Alcubier’s plan is that in this model, a large amount of “negative energy strange matter” is needed to distort space-time.

"Obviously, in addition to the negative-energy exotic matter that can distort space-time, high-dimensional space can also distort space-time."

Ye Ming exhaled slowly, a smile rose on his face.

"However, I trust my intuition." There was still a little stubbornness in Ita's voice.

Ye Ming nodded: "Well, because there is a limit value that needs to be requested."

"What limit value?"

"The minimum energy to maintain the space-time membrane, if it is too small, will directly produce the effect of singularity dissipation, similar to the performance just now - it's very simple, wait for me to make a formula."

After speaking, Ye Ming immediately grabbed a pen and paper.

When he calculated inter-dimensional communication before, he discovered that there are two solutions to the theory of inter-dimensional and long-distance communication, one is the singularity of escape, and the other is that information cannot escape.

His intuition told him that if it was not a problem with design or experimental equipment, then maintaining the space-time membrane should be related to another singularity.

Listed out the formula, Ita just glanced at it and reported the answer.

"P=S*C^V/Nt*G*F"

Ye Ming frowned for a while.

This fucking volume space is an index?

...

Half an hour later, Ye Ming's face was a little ugly.

He and Ita took it into calculations, and found that the minimum threshold for actual use is that to maintain a space membrane with a volume of one cubic meter for 1 second, the minimum power required is about 0.75 kilowatts, but since space is an index, as the space Expansion requires a sharp increase in energy.

And if it is changed to the size of Yaoyue... the power required is about 100,000 megawatts.

Well, not many, so we installed 8 of the current engines on the Yaoyue.

"It's so stupid..." Ye Ming cursed.

And this is just the need to maintain the space membrane.

He hasn't yet calculated the power needed to warp the curvature to approach or exceed the speed of light—clearly, the power requirements will be higher.

Ita ventured: "Energy is conserved."

"Well, it seems that there is a reason why the system uses antimatter as the ultimate energy source. The energy conversion of helium-3 fusion is still a bit low."

Ye Ming closed his eyes and began to calculate quickly.

Now that the lowest limit has been reached, it must be tried—at least the black hole must be drilled.

After doing the calculations, he found that if he wanted to use a spaceship to drill a black hole, then the spaceship really had nothing but an engine.

And with such a high power, the circuit design of the whole ship must also use superconductivity.

Then it is safest to launch a detection module first.

After a moment, he opened his eyes.

"With the current design, five times the power is enough. Shall we try again?"

"good!"

...

Three hours later, the two completed the replacement of the power supply and components again.

During this period, the father came down to take a look, and left angrily after finding that he was completely speechless. Finally, the mother came down with another plate of fruit.

Ye Ming held an apple, put on glasses, turned on the monitor, and still hid behind the supporting pillar.

It was fine last time, but this time...

Who can tell?

"start."

"start."

As Ita's voice fell, Ye Ming also looked at the picture in the glasses without blinking.

Then, he saw a strange, unspeakable mist rising around the model boat in the picture.

The entire ship model seemed to be placed between thousands of mirrors, and it became extremely clear, but it was impossible to see clearly.

The space around the model ship, even the light, became distorted.

Like soap bubbles in the sun, with all sorts of weird halos.

The numbers of the gravitational wave measuring instrument on the side also began to jump rapidly.

Ye Ming took off his glasses, walked to the workbench, and quietly watched this high-dimensional reflection that he had never seen before with Ita.

Although, it's just a membrane.
