Vol 22 Chapter 553: Defective shield

Popular recommendations: ,,,,,,,,
"The technology just mentioned can greatly increase the success rate of the immigration plan and allow us enough time to prepare enough immigration ships. The use of the technology below is relatively less exaggerated, but maybe some of you will I ’m more interested because this is a thorough military technology. "
"Military?" The U.S. President asked, "What type of technology? Weapons?"
"No, it should be said to be a kind of shield technology." I explained: "Everyone should have seen that we use electromagnetic shields before, and everyone knows the effect. It has a very good deflection and blocking effect on solid ammunition. Disadvantages It is poor resistance to large mass objects, and there is an extreme contrast to the protection of energy weapons. Some energy weapons will be completely blocked, and some will be completely useless. "
"Then what do you say about this technology?" Sure enough, some people are interested in this, but I think there must be many people who like this thing, because currently it is actually possible to use it for civilian purposes.
After sorting out my thoughts a bit, I started to introduce: "The theory behind this technology is a theory called the zero-degree force field. According to this theory, the shield formed can theoretically carry the known earth. The destructive power of any weapon, even a direct attack from a nuclear bomb, will not cause any problems. "
"Is it so strong?"
"It's not a matter of strength, it's a matter of principle." I said, "You are not engaged in scientific research. You may not be clear about all the cutting-edge things. I will try to explain it as simple as possible. Everyone knows that we live in space. Objects need to have enough space to exist, but what if the space disappears? This kind of shield is nothing more than to create a 'nothingness' area between itself and the enemy. This nothingnessy area is just like the outer edge of the universe , Is an absolute nothingness that does not exist. Any object and energy must have space as a support, and this nothingness cannot support anything, that is, when energy or matter enters this area, it will be like an unsupported item. same."
"You mean that thing will fall into this black hole-like thing?"
"No, no, nothingness and black holes are two concepts of safety. Black holes are space-intensive areas formed after a high concentration of mass. Due to the high concentration of space, a pile-up phenomenon occurs, which causes the three-dimensional space to collapse. So the space in this area I came into contact with the fourth dimension and produced a four-dimensional space, which is a black hole. But four-dimensional space is also space, and nothingness is zero-dimensional space. There is no time and no space here. There is nothing you can think of. It is real. nothingness."
"So what happens if an enemy attacks this piece of nothingness, such as a cannonball flew in, or a laser beam enters this area?" Of course, this technical question can only be asked by the technical officer before , I was fainted by others.
I thought for a moment and said, "In theory, nothingness can become space. But it must have a premise to become space, that is, a layer of energy to support a space. In this regard, the creators did not seem to study it clearly, but The pilgrims did a lot of research on this. According to the theory of pilgrims, space itself is an energy, it is the only energy that can exist in nothingness. If we imagine nothingness as the sea, space is a ship on the sea And the material and energy are the cargo on board. When the cargo falls off the ship, a very simple thing happens, that is, the cargo becomes a new ship. "
"The cargo turned into a ship?" The technical officer first asked in confusion, then suddenly responded. "Oh ... I see! You are talking about conceptual cargo. When these cargoes are placed on a ship, they are cargo. But once they fall into the water, the cargo becomes a float, and the essence of a ship is a float, that is, It is said that after the cargo falls into the water, it is essentially no different from a ship. If someone climbs on this floating cargo, the cargo is his ship. Is my understanding correct? "
I nodded with a smile: "Yes, that's right. After the cargo falls into the water, it becomes a ship, and space energy follows the same principle. Space energy in the nothingness creates a space where matter and energy can exist, and if there is matter and Energy leaves space, then it will disintegrate. Because nothingness can support the existence of matter and energy. However, disintegrated matter or energy will not disappear. Through the mass-energy equation, we know that mass and energy can be transformed into each other. And energy cannot be sadly created or annihilated, it can only be transformed from one form to another. Nothing can make energy really disappear. What it does is to transform all the energy that enters it into space energy, because nothingness only Allow space energy to exist. "
I explained that the tycoons and heads of state around here finally understood. A guy in military uniform confirmed: "What do you mean, as long as something enters into nothingness, whether it is a cannonball or a laser beam, it will immediately become space energy, and the attack itself is equivalent to being non-existent. ?"
I nodded again. "Yes. Any substance or energy will become space energy after entering nothingness. And the device I am talking about does not operate on nothingness in essence. What it does is extract the space energy in the action range and convert it into Other energy, so there will be a big hole in the space, there is nothing in this hole. When other matter and energy fall into this hole, it will become new space energy, and then be reabsorbed, as long as the entered material It cannot pass through the barrier without exceeding the speed absorbed by the energy absorber. By the way, this device does not need to consume energy after it is completed, but can be used as a generator. It only needs to input energy when it is started. For initialization, once the device is started, it does not need any energy support, but will continuously output energy. "
"Your consciousness is that this thing can not only be used as a shield, but also provide extra power for our spaceship?" A fat tycoon stood up and asked in excitement.
I affirmatively answered: "It can be understood this way. In fact, in terms of the shield, this device is actually not very effective. Although the area in the middle of this device is almost invincible, the shield itself is actually quite equivalent. It ’s easy to be destroyed. As for the reason ... just look at this structure.

I showed you the new design drawings. To be honest, except for the differences in details, the shape of this thing is almost not different from that of the previous space ring. This thing looks like a ring, the difference is that there is a u-shape on one side of the ring The structure connects the two ends of the ring. In fact, this u-shaped structure is a structural reinforcement plus a support for the thruster. The main equipment is actually in the ring road.
When we first saw this thing, everyone was a little confused, but soon everyone responded.
The void space created by this void shield is a circular plane located inside the ring. The surrounding ring is actually exposed to the shield of nothingness. In other words, if the enemy can hit the outer circle, the shield itself will be destroyed. That's why I say this thing doesn't make much sense. This shield's own protection is the biggest problem, because the edge part of the shield cannot be built behind the void field. So this circle of nothingness generators has become the biggest weakness.
Of course, it cannot be said that this thing is absolutely useless. First, because the exposed part of the ring is obviously unlikely to exceed the volume of the spacecraft to be protected, we can use the strongest metal to build the ring outer ring. Although we don't necessarily have enough high-end metal to build a migrant ship, if it's just a ring. It would be much simpler. Second, the ring itself is not fixed, so it is not easy to hit.
According to the practical experience of pilgrims, they usually build these shields very small. Generally, the diameter of each ring does not exceed 50 meters, and most of them do not even reach 10 meters. Compared to the volume of several kilometers of space battleships, the volume of these protective shields is not really large. The way they use this small shield is to use it as a floating shield. These small shields all have automatic power systems. They can fly around the battleship. When the battleship is attacked, these shields will actively block the attack line, and then use the void area in their center to catch it The enemy's attack. It's a bit like playing badminton with others. You must try to catch the ball with the net in the middle of the racket, and if the ball hits not the net but the frame of the racket, it means that the "racquet" will be destroyed. Of course, not catching the ball is even worse, because it means that the spacecraft will be hit directly.
"In fact, this kind of thing is mainly used as a blocker for energy extractors and low-speed weapons, such as being good against space torpedoes."
"Aliens still use torpedoes for interstellar warfare?" Someone asked.
"In general, many people in modern times speculate that missiles may not have any meaning in future space wars, because the distance between the two sides in the universe must be very long. With the technology foreseeable now, the battle in the universe can actually be 200 million kilometers away. At the beginning, the two sides fired at each other. It took more than ten minutes for various directional energy weapons to hit the target at this distance. It would take several hours for a solid kinetic weapon such as a missile to fly near the other side. The probability of interception is too high, so many science enthusiasts think that missiles and other things in space warfare have no future. According to the situation of pilgrims and creators, space torpedoes have not been eliminated, but actually It's quite easy to use. At least among the warring parties, there are a lot of spaceships using space torpedoes. "
"How could this be?"
"Actually, the answer is very simple." I said, "The first is to be unexpected. The use of space torpedoes is often not direct attack. Instead, the torpedoes are launched into space by electromagnetic ejection and left to the torpedoes on the battlefield like cosmic trash These dormant torpedoes will suddenly ignite and launch attacks when they need to be used, which is very difficult to deal with, because they may launch attacks from any direction to make you invincible.
Second, torpedoes in the Star Wars were disguised when they were launched. To consider air resistance on earth, missiles must conform to hydrodynamics. You need a slender structure. But the space torpedo does not need to consider the shape, it can be any shape. At present, most space torpedoes are disguised as meteorite fragments. This kind of thing is very common in space. Moreover, both sides will throw a lot of camouflage in camouflage into space before the war begins. This balloon-like meteorite has air inside and a layer of high-tech camouflage skin on the outside, which can fool most detectors. Moreover, the cost of this thing is very low. Basically, every time a space encounter encounters, a battleship can throw out millions of these meteorite balloons in a few seconds, and it is mixed with many detectors, space torpedoes and floating guns. It is unrealistic to completely clean up these floating objects, so the torpedoes camouflaged in them have a great chance of successful attack. Because sometimes these torpedoes are activated even when they float near the enemy's spacecraft, the other's interception weapons have no time to respond.
third. Although the speed of space torpedoes is very slow, it is compared with energy weapons such as lasers. Compared with battleships, the speed of space torpedoes still occupies a huge advantage, and these small speeds are very fast. Usually there are multiple warhead shunting techniques. Some of the large space torpedoes are even equipped with shields, as long as they can be carried hard. The attack can rush to the enemy's side, such a torpedo cannot be stopped at all. Moreover, although the price of a torpedo with a shield is not low, if it can seriously damage an enemy space battleship, it will make a lot of money. The value of a space battleship is at least several hundred thousand times that of such a torpedo, that is, as long as it can kill a battleship with hundreds of thousands of torpedoes, it is a good deal. Based on the above characteristics, guided torpedoes in space combat are actually very versatile. Combined with kinetic energy weapons and energy weapons, it can form a multi-level mix of high, medium and low, fast, medium and slow, and the battlefield flexibility is very high. In addition, these torpedoes can be recycled if they are not used after the war, which is very economical. Some models of torpedoes even actively detached the warhead at the last moment, and then the projectile slowed down and could not hit the enemy ship. After the war, the main body of the torpedo was recovered and another warhead was added. There are many types of torpedoes in the space age, and everything is very powerful. "
Suddenly the Chief One asked: "The void shield you said before is mainly used as an energy generator, not a shield, right?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, this device can continuously generate energy, as long as it does not fly beyond the boundaries of the universe, there will be an endless source of energy."
"So, I want to know how efficient the energy conversion is, how much energy can be produced, and what effect can this energy be used to produce?"
"About this ... how do you say ... the amount of energy produced is not very large. The production of nothingness by the shield of nothingness consumes a lot of energy, so most of the energy it produces is used to generate the shield itself. So, it ’s not going to export much. But we ca n’t replenish chemical fuel in space. It ’s always good to have energy. These devices generate enough energy to keep our super electromagnetic engines running continuously at low power without shutting down. Before we The design of the super electromagnetic engine in the space immigration ship is designed to be started at intervals. After all, even using nuclear power and solar energy may not be able to last for thousands of years ~ EbookFREE.me ~ so we still need to save some use. It can keep our super electromagnetic engine running at low power all the time, which can greatly increase the acceleration capability and cruise speed of the spacecraft. In addition, this is an extra energy reserve and an insurance. "
"Do you say that this thing can speed up the spacecraft, does it mean that our fleet can continue to launch sailing time?" Chief One asked.
I shook my head: "I'm afraid not. The super electromagnetic engine itself is a low-thrust engine. Its advantage is that the propulsion does not decrease with increasing speed, but its output is actually very low. Its strength lies in the thousands of miles of the entire voyage The ability to continue accelerating over time instead of short-term, so even if we can delay our launch, it will at most give us more than ten days, which is of little practical significance. "
Chief No. 1 nodded and sat down and said, "A few days is also good."
"Is there anything else than this technology?" The US president asked.
I continued to nod: "Yes. In addition to this, there is actually a technology that I think makes sense."
"Say what it is." (To be continued.)
