Start a Subspace

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, most factories, enterprises, and research institutes have reopened.

The busy work begins again.

In the captain's room of the Oriental Rock, Zhang Ran, Zhou Chengfeng, Guo Weiqiang and several other military brains were checking the first military exercise of the new year.

"The red side's battle loss ratio is 85.9%, the Oriental Rock was destroyed by the blue side, and the enemy entered the warp... The third combat exercise is over!"

"In the end, the blue side won! The exercise time, 19.2 hours!"

"Little Universe No. 3 has not yet escaped, and the red team's mission has failed. The Eastern Rock is completely destroyed!"

"The commanders' ratings are as follows..."

Of course, this new type of military exercise is carried out in a virtual world.

About 10,000 soldiers are running in the newly built training room.

They wear special VR helmets on their heads and treadmills under their feet. No matter where they run, the sensors connected to the helmets can sense the running direction at the first time, so that the treadmill tracks move with them.

In this way, the physical condition of the soldier can be perfectly simulated.

This is the important use of the virtual world!

In reality, the price of serious exercises is too high. Whether it is the fuel of the spacecraft, the launch of missiles, or the weapons such as electromagnetic guns, all resources are consumed.

What human beings lack most right now is resources, and there is nothing to waste!

Therefore, the emergence of virtual world technology is simply a relief, and it can even be said to be a savior!

After seeing the result, Zhou Chengfeng nodded, shook his head again, and said, "This time it's just so-so, facing the attack of 100 Void Amoeba army, it lasted 19.2 hours, which is much better than the previous two results. many…"

"But it still failed. Can't even the No. 3 microcosm escape? If we really encounter such a disaster, we still have to destroy it all."

3 Small universe, that is, the last hand of mankind.

Human beings have a total of 3 small universes that are suitable for life to survive.

Cosmos No. 1, where the Eden Refuge was built; Cosmos No. 2, built a large electromagnetic accelerator and a super-large laser, which is regarded as a military center.

As for the No. 3 small universe, a large shelter is being built inside, and at the same time, it is also the main storage location of the space door.

In case the Eastern Rock really blows up, human beings can still rely on this small universe to survive in the high-dimensional world and find a chance to rise... After all, most low-level civilizations do this, that is, human beings are lucky, looking for To the corpse of the void amoeba.

Of course, the premise is that this small universe can escape at the last moment of the war and not be captured by the enemy. The small universe cannot escape, and human beings are just turtles in a urn.

Zhang Ran smiled bitterly: "President Zhou, your requirements are too high."

"The enemies we preset are all disaster-level, and they are not the type that can be beaten at all. An army of 100 Void Amoeba, or the planetary fortress of the Devourer, has a higher technology than our spaceship. , the enemy spacecraft will also launch nano-clusters, and under this Zentraedi attack, we can last for 19.2 hours, which is pretty good."

"The most important thing in a cosmic war is the strength of science and technology. Conspiracy and tricks are of little significance."

Yes, cosmic warfare really depends on strength.

Zhou Chengfeng still seemed dissatisfied: "But no matter what, we have to achieve the lowest-level goal, which is to let the No. 3 small universe escape. Can pure artificial intelligence control this goal?"

Zhang Ran sighed and said, "Simple artificial intelligence can indeed accomplish the goal."

"But the artificial intelligence's operation method is very cruel, and human life is only a consumable. It sacrificed the existence of the Oriental Rock in the first place, and launched a suicidal fighting method to cover the departure of the No. 3 microcosm. But in reality, we It's hard to do that... We can't just give up on the Eastern Rock."

"However, I have to admit that some artificial intelligence commanders have surpassed human commanders. Therefore, most future battlefield wars will be taken over by artificial intelligence, and we are only responsible for setting mission objectives."

Guo Weiqiang said from the side: "War, the most important thing is resources and industrial capabilities... If we have the resources to manufacture more small spaceships, it is also possible to escape the pursuit of powerful enemies."

"Of course technology is also very important... If we can develop more advanced weapons of war, our chances of success in war will also increase."

The most powerful weapon at present is naturally the main gun located in the No. 2 microcosm, that is, the "strategic high-dimensional silicon laser", which can directly produce a nuclear reaction of matter with a high temperature of 2 billion degrees Celsius and super strong light pressure! It can even be called a serious "energy weapon", not just a laser.

The second is the "superconducting strategic electromagnetic gun", which can accelerate a 5-gram superalloy bullet to a speed of 10,000 kilometers per second, with extremely strong penetration!

In theory, this railgun could penetrate the thick hull of the Void Amoeba!

As for whether it can penetrate the crystal mothership of the nano-cluster, it is unknown for the time being. The crystal mothership was so big that it was comparable to a planetary fortress, and most experts still responded with a pessimistic attitude.

In addition, there is no need to say more about hydrogen bombs and ordinary electromagnetic guns.

There are as many as 500 electromagnetic guns with a firing rate of 1000 kilometers per second.

Relatively speaking, the hydrogen bomb is a relatively backward weapon. Although the power is great, the speed is too slow. It is a major flaw. Engineers are developing the electromagnetic catapult to launch the hydrogen bomb.

If the hydrogen bomb can be projected at a speed of 300 kilometers per second, or 500 kilometers per second, it will be able to effectively make up for this shortcoming.

"The combat effectiveness of the Eastern Rock is no longer a problem, but the number of small and medium-sized spaceships is too small, and the reconnaissance ability is worrying. Your Highness, if there are some small spaceships..."

The small and medium-sized spacecraft that Guo Weiqiang refers to refers to a 100,000-ton-class nuclear fission engine spacecraft with a rated load of 600 soldiers.

Each ship has a length of 100 meters and can be used as the main army, equipped with electromagnetic guns, hydrogen bombs, high-dimensional silicon lasers, drones and other combat weapons.

This kind of spacecraft, code-named "Flying Dragon", has a rated speed of 300 kilometers per second.

If there are a thousand "Flying Dragon" class combat ships, then the military strength of mankind will undergo huge changes.

The Eastern Rock is like an aircraft carrier on the earth. An aircraft carrier with encouragement alone will not be able to use it in a war. Therefore, it must be equipped with frigates, reconnaissance ships, cruisers, destroyers, etc. to form a battle group.

But... poor!

Building a spaceship is expensive, and maintaining a spaceship is even more expensive!

A "Flying Dragon" weighs 100,000 tons naked and costs 30 billion yuan. For one voyage, the fuel that needs to be consumed is almost 100,000 tons!

These fuels are sprayed out and difficult to recycle.

Oh, by the way, the nuclear fission engine is also very expensive. After all, it is a new generation of particle bed engine with higher specific impulse and better performance, which is expensive.

A thousand flying dragon-class battleships need to consume 100 million tons of fuel for one voyage... It's impossible to have the ability to create things all the time, right? !

So, resources are a big issue.

Now only some cheap drones have been produced, which can eject these small spaceships through the electromagnetic ejection device of No. 2 Microcosm, and the fuel consumption is not high.

Zhang Ran watched the scene on the screen where the soldiers took off their helmets one by one, sweating profusely, and he took a breath: "Although the goal has not been achieved, there is still progress."

"I recently added a small amount of creation energy to the science and technology development department, almost all of which are the most basic raw materials, such as superalloys, carbon nanotubes, high-purity wafers, etc., about 10 million tons, and there are low A billion tons of end material, and we make some more equipment.”

"If we expand our army, our finances will not be able to bear it. You must know that the maintenance of the army cannot depend on the ability of creation."

Guo Weiqiang nodded quickly: "Our current resources are at most 10 Dragon-class spaceships, 500 Ocean-class shuttles, and drones, which are almost the limit."

The maintenance of the army is a long-term expenditure, and there is an expenditure every day. If he relies on the ability of creation, Zhang Ran cannot afford this long-term expenditure.

Zhang Ran frowned: "In this way, productivity is not enough. We have to build a fully automatic universal factory to solve the lack of productivity."

"Ultimately, we have to return to the question of finding matter... There are no resources in this area. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

"By the way, Simonson has telepathy again, have you heard?"

Zhou Chengfeng, Guo Weiqiang, and some people around were stunned for a moment, and then they all thought of a possibility.

A scientist immediately said: "Could it be... is this space area going to collapse again?"

Zhang Ran sighed, nodded, and looked at the starry sky outside the window.

"Yeah... This place is about to collapse again."

The galaxies are dazzling and there are countless civilizations.

Even the Milky Way next door is shining brightly, as if it is full of vitality.

If not the real insiders, who can guess that they are dead? Who can know that there has been nothing there for a long time?

He looked in the distant direction again, the pitch-black void revealed a higher dimensional space...

There is nothing there.

There is life again.

Zhang Ran said seriously: "Yes, there are cosmic strings in this area, which lasted longer and did not collapse immediately."

"Not only Simonson's prediction, but many cosmologists also believe that the tension on this cosmic string is slowly increasing, and it may burst like a rubber band."

"Since there is nothing here, we must leave. Looking for material, looking for a new home..."

"So the proposal to return to high-dimensional space will be on the agenda."

"In about two months, we will leave."
