Chapter 553 Defective shield

"The technology I just mentioned can greatly increase the success rate of immigration programs and give us enough time to prepare enough immigration ships. The purpose of the technology below is relatively less exaggerated, but some of you may be more interested because it is a thorough military technology. ︽,"

"Military?" asked the US president: "What type of technology is it? Are weapons?"

"No, it should be said to be a shield technology." I explained: "You should have seen us using electromagnetic shields before, and you all know that they have a very good deflection and blocking effect on physical ammunition. The disadvantage is that they have poor resistance to large-scale objects, and there is an extreme contrast in the protection of energy weapons. Some energy weapons will be completely blocked, while some are completely useless."

"Then what is the technology you are talking about?" It turns out that some people are interested in this, but I think there must be many people who like this thing, because at present, this thing can be used for civil use.

After sorting out my ideas for a little, I began to introduce: "The theory of relying on this technology is a theory called a zero-degree force field. According to this theory, the shield it forms can theoretically withstand the destructive power of any known weapon on the earth. Even direct attacks from nuclear bombs will not cause any problems."

"Is that strong?"

"It's not a matter of strength, but a matter of principle." I said: "You are not engaged in scientific research. You may not be very clear about all the cutting-edge things. I try to explain it briefly. Everyone knows that when we live in space, any object needs to have enough space to exist, but what if the space disappears? To put it bluntly, this shield creates a "nothing" area between oneself and the enemy. This area of ​​nothingness is the same as the edge of the universe, and it is an absolute nothingness that does not exist. Any object and energy must have space as support for it, and this nothingness cannot support anything. That is to say, when energy or matter enters this area, it will be like an item that has lost its support."

"You mean that thing will fall into this black hole-like thing?"

"No, no, nothingness and black holes are two concepts of security. Black holes are space-intensive areas formed after the mass is highly concentrated. Because the space is highly concentrated, there is a accumulation phenomenon, causing the three-dimensional space to collapse. Therefore, the space in this area comes into contact with the fourth dimension and produces four-dimensional space, which is the black hole. But four-dimensional space is also space. To put it bluntly, it is zero-dimensional space. There is no time, no space, and nothing you can think of. It is real nothingness."

"So what happens if an enemy attacks this void, such as a shell flying in, or a beam of laser entering this area?" Of course, the only question that can be asked is the technical official before, and everyone else is a little confused by me.

I thought for a moment and said, "Noniature can become space in theory, but it needs to have a prerequisite for it to become space, that is, there is a layer of energy to support a space. In this regard, the creators seem to have not studied it clearly. However, the pilgrims have studied it in depth. According to the pilgrims' theory, space itself is an energy, and 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 matter and energy are cargo on the ship. When the cargo falls off the ship, then a very simple thing will happen, that is, the cargo becomes a new ship."

"The cargo becomes a ship?" The technical official first asked in confusion, and then suddenly reacted. "Oh... I understand! You are talking about conceptual goods. When these goods are placed on the ship, they are cargo. But once they fall into the water, the goods become floating objects. The essence of the ship is floating objects, which means that after the goods fall into the water, it is essentially no different from the ship. If someone climbs onto the floating goods, the goods are his ship. Is my understanding right?"

I smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, very correct. After the cargo falls into the water, it becomes a ship, and space energy also follows the same principle. Space energy produces a space in nothingness that allows matter and energy to exist. If matter and energy leave the space, it will collapse because nothingness cannot support the existence of matter and energy. However, the disintegrating 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 created or destroyed sadly. It can only be transformed from one form to another. Nothing cannot really disappear. What it does is to convert everything that enters it into space energy, because nothingness only allows space energy to exist."

I explained that the tycoons and heads of state around me finally understood. A guy in military uniform confirmed: "What you mean is that as long as something enters nothingness, whether it is a shell or a beam of laser, it will immediately turn into space energy, and the attack itself is equivalent to no longer exist, right?"

I nodded again. "That's right. Any matter or energy will become spatial energy after entering nothingness. The device I mentioned cannot essentially operate on nothingness. What it does is to extract the space energy within the range of action and convert it into other energy, so that a large hole will appear in the space, and there is only nothingness 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 incoming matter does not exceed the speed of the energy absorber absorption, it cannot pass through this barrier. By the way, after the device is completed, not only does not need to consume energy, but can be used as a generator. It only needs to input energy for initialization when it is started. Once the device is started, it does not need any energy support, but will continuously output energy outward."

"Your consciousness is that this thing can not only be used as a shield but also provide additional power for our spacecraft?" A very fat tycoon stood up and asked with a fat body trembling all over his body.

I answered with certainty: "It can be understood in this way. In fact, this device is not very effective in terms of protective shields. Although the area in the middle of this device is almost invincible, the shield itself is actually quite easy to destroy. As for the reason... you will know after looking at this structure."

I have shown you a new design drawing. To be honest, except for the difference in details, the shape of this thing is almost not much different from the previous space ring. This thing looks like a ring, the difference is that there is a U-shaped structure on one side of the ring connecting both ends of the ring. In fact, this U-shaped structure is a structural reinforcement and a thruster bracket, and the main equipment is actually in the ring.

When we first saw this thing, we were a little confused, but soon everyone reacted.

The void space generated by this Void Shield is a circular plane inside the ring, and the surrounding ring is actually exposed outside the Void Shield. That is to say, if the enemy can hit the outside ring, the shield itself will be destroyed. I say that this is not very meaningful. The shield's own protection is the biggest problem, because the edge part of the shield cannot be built behind the Void Force Field, so this Void Generator becomes 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 not more than the volume of the spacecraft that needs protection, we can use the strongest metal to build the outer ring of the ring. Although we may not necessarily have enough high-end metal to build the immigration ship, if it is just a ring, it will be much simpler. Second, the ring itself is not fixed. So it is not that simple to hit.

According to the actual experience of pilgrims, they usually build these shield devices very small, generally the diameter of each ring is no more than fifty meters, and most of them are even less than ten meters. Compared with the volume of space warships that are several kilometers long, the volume of these shields is really not large. The way they use this small shield is to use it as a floating shield. These small shields all have automatic power systems, which can fly around the warship. When the warship is attacked, these shields will take the initiative to block the attack route, and then use the void area in the center to catch the enemy's attack. This is 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 the net but the frame of the racket, it means that the "rack" will be destroyed. Of course, it is worse to not catch the ball, because it means that the spacecraft will be hit directly.

"In fact, this kind of thing is mainly used as a blocking device for energy extractors and low-speed weapons, such as it is good to deal with space torpedoes."

"Aliens use torpedoes to fight interstellar wars?" someone asked.

"Generally speaking, many people in modern times guess that missiles may not have any meaning in future space wars, because the distance between the two sides in the universe must be very far, with the foreseeable technology now. The battle in the universe can actually start firing artillery at 200 million kilometers away. Various directional energy weapons at this distance will take more than ten minutes to hit the target, and physical kinetic energy weapons such as missiles may take several hours to fly to the opponent's near the opponent. In this way, the probability of being intercepted by the opponent's weapons is too high, so many science enthusiasts believe that missiles and other things in space war have no future. But according to the situation of the pilgrims and creators, space torpedoes are not only not eliminated, but are quite useful. At least there are a large number of spacecraft using space torpedoes in the three parties."

"how so?"

"Actually, the answer is very simple." I said: "The first is to surprise. The use of space torpedoes is often not direct attacks, but to launch the torpedoes into space by electromagnetic catapulting. Let these torpedoes float around on the battlefield like cosmic garbage. When it is needed, these dormant torpedoes will suddenly ignite and launch attacks, which is very difficult to deal with, because they may launch attacks from any direction, making you unable to defend against.

Second, the torpedoes in interstellar war are all camouflaged when they are launched. The earth needs to consider air resistance, and missiles must comply with fluid mechanics and need to have a slender structure. However, space torpedoes do not need to consider appearance, they can be in any shape. At present, most space torpedoes will be disguised as meteorite fragments. This kind of thing is very common in space. Moreover, both sides will throw a large number of camouflage meteorites into space before the war begins. This kind of meteorite, which is similar to a balloon, is air inside, and there is a layer outside.

High-tech camouflage skin can deceive most detectors. Moreover, this thing is very cheap. Basically, every space encounter, a warship can throw out millions of such meteorite balloons in a few seconds, and there are many detectors, space torpedoes and floating cannons. It is unrealistic to completely clean up these floating objects, so the torpedoes disguised in them actually have a great chance of sneak attack successful. Because sometimes these torpedoes even float near the enemy's spacecraft before they can be activated, and the opponent's intercepting weapons have no time to react.

Third, although the space torpedo speed is very slow, it is compared with energy weapons such as lasers. Compared with warships, the speed of space torpedo still has a huge advantage. These small points are very fast, and usually have multiple warhead split-guidance technology. Some of the large space torpedoes of some models are even equipped with shields. They can rush to the enemy as long as they can withstand a few attacks. Such torpedoes cannot be stopped at all. Moreover, although a torpedo with shield is not low, if they can severely damage an enemy space warship, it will make a fortune. The value of a space warship is at least hundreds of thousands of times that of this kind of torpedo, which means that as long as it can be used, it will be a big profit.

It is cost-effective to kill a warship with tens of thousands of torpedoes. Based on the above characteristics, guided torpedoes in space combat are actually very widely used. Cooperating with kinetic energy weapons and energy weapons, they can form a high-middle-low-level combination, fast-middle-slow-level combination, and the battlefield flexibility is very high. And if these torpedoes are thrown out, they can be recycled after being thrown out, which is very economical and affordable. Some models of torpedoes will even actively separate the warhead at the last moment, and then the bullet body will actively slow down and not hit the enemy ship. After the war, the torpedo will be recycled and replaced with a warhead. Another new torpedo will be added. The space age has a variety of torpedoes, and they are all kinds of things, but they are very powerful anyway."

Chief No. 1 suddenly asked: "The Void Shield you mentioned before is mainly used as an energy generator rather than a shield, right?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, this device can continuously generate energy. As long as it does not fly out of the boundaries of the universe, there will be endless energy."

"So, I want to know how efficient energy conversion is, how much energy can be generated, and what effects can these energy be used to produce?"

"About this point... how to say... the energy generation is not very large. The Void Shield generates Void itself requires a lot of energy, so most of the energy it produces is used to generate the shield itself, so it will not be too much. However, we cannot replenish chemical fuel in space, so it is always a good thing to have energy. The energy generated by these devices is enough for our ultra-electromagnetic engine to continue to operate in a low-power manner without shutting down. The ultra-electromagnetic engine plan we designed in the space immigration ship was started at intervals. After all, even using nuclear power and solar energy may not last for thousands of years, so we need to save some effort. However, with this thing, our ultra-electromagnetic engine can be kept in a low-power operation state, which can greatly improve the acceleration and cruise speed of the spacecraft. In addition, this is an additional energy reserve, which can also be considered an additional insurance."

"You said this thing can accelerate the spacecraft, does it mean that our fleet can continue to roll out for a while?" asked Chief One.

I shook my head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. The ultra-electromagnetic engine itself is a low-thrust engine. Its advantage is that the propulsion will not drop with the increase in speed, but its output is actually very low. Its strength lies in the continuous acceleration capability over the entire range of thousands of years rather than short-term acceleration capability. Therefore, even if we can delay the launch, it will give us more than ten days at most, which is of little practical significance."

Commander No. 1 sat down while nodding his head and muttering: "It's good for a few days."

"Is there anything else besides this technology?" the US president asked.

I continued to nod and said, "Yes. In addition to this, there is actually a technology that I think makes sense."

"Tell me what it is." (To be continued...)
