Chapter 143 Military Materials

(ps: That, please give me some genuine tickets, and add it to your collection!)

No matter what, at least now humans can be 100% sure that the biosphere of a life planet is still precious in an interstellar civilization.

Because according to the civilization level mentioned by the 'Silver Mist Consciousness' based on the aircraft of the Mok Star civilization, the spacecraft that crashed on Callisto had a warp engine, which should belong to an interstellar civilization.

And the red gas in the spacecraft of that unknown civilization has no way to make intelligent life last forever.

Speaking of warp engines, the two warp engines are still on the Hope, but there has been no major breakthrough in their research, and the same is true for deciphering the built-in system of the antimatter storage device.

This is the reality. There is no such thing as a low-level civilization picking up something from a high-level civilization and then being able to crack and build it in a few days.

The barriers of science and technology make it almost impossible for humans to understand their operating mechanism.

Sometimes, Yue Yuan even feels that humans may only be able to fully understand the true working mechanism of the warp engine if they master the grand unified theory of the four fundamental forces.

However, there are also many good news in the development of these years.

Humans have analyzed many powerful alloy manufacturing technologies from the wreckage of the spacecraft, and these alloys are now being used in the new warship that will be used as the flagship of mankind.

How powerful is the alloy that was imitated from the wreckage of the alien spacecraft that crashed on Callisto?

Humans once made a two-meter-thick, eight-meter-long and wide alloy, and then dug a pit on the planet Wolf 1061 c, placed it in, and used hydrogen bomb explosions for experiments. A hydrogen bomb exploded above it, and the 30 million degrees Celsius and powerful shock waves generated instantly only slightly deformed it.

The ability to resist impact damage is extremely strong.

Of course, the temperature at the center of the hydrogen bomb explosion is not only 30 million degrees Celsius, but 350 million degrees Celsius, but humans already knew its melting point when they made this alloy, otherwise they would not be able to make it, so the experiment actually tested its impact resistance.

On the wreckage of the spacecraft, other metals were in tatters, but this alloy was still shining. In the end, it was dismantled by humans, moved to the Hope, and packed away.

However, this alloy is extremely difficult to manufacture. Human factories have worked non-stop for more than ten years, but only produced ten tons.

Because its melting point is as high as 150 million degrees Celsius, humans can only manufacture this alloy by mastering the high temperature generated by controlled fusion of helium nuclei.

To ignite helium, at a pressure of 0.5 times the mass of the sun, it needs to reach at least 100 million Kelvin, and controllable operation requires 200 million Kelvin.

It is almost the same when converted to Celsius. Kelvin minus 273.15 is Celsius temperature.

It is conceivable that it is completely impossible to equip all warships with it with the current productivity of humans, so humans can only equip it on the outer shell of the flagship.

Tests have shown that this alloy is not only highly impact-resistant, but also has excellent heat insulation. If this alloy is used as the outer shell of a warship, as long as a large-yield hydrogen bomb does not explode next to the alloy, basically nothing can burn through it.

Anyway, none of the current laser weapons of mankind can burn through it.

What does this mean?

It means that this is a material that exceeds the current level of civilization of mankind. A warship with an outer shell made of this material, in the same level of civilization, almost no weapon can penetrate it. After all, as a warship, it is impossible to rush into the center of a hydrogen bomb explosion stupidly, right?

This alloy material is a new height that humans have reached in the field of materials in the past decade. Although it is copied from the research of alien spacecraft materials, it can also be regarded as a material that humans can master.

Based on this material, the flagship plan of mankind came into being.

Humans plan to fully produce this alloy in the next 20 to 30 years, and then use it to build a flagship with extremely strong comprehensive performance.

Of course, humans will definitely build more than one new warship. After all, the population is increasing. Moreover, even if no one drives it, it can be built as a reserve warship, or directly controlled by AI.

Because of the population problem, humans have to work hard on AI control, that is, combat AI research.

In the combat configuration envisioned by the headquarters, there is such a way, that is, to use a new battleship as the main force, equipped with dozens of battleships like Callisto as auxiliary, to form a small team of combat power.

As of now, humans have 70 battleships of the Callisto level, and there are only two new battleships. The new alloy flagship is still under construction.

In addition to these two types of battleships, humans have also built many small frigates and destroyers. This type of battleship is much smaller, generally about 200 meters.

In addition, humans also plan to build several space carriers, mainly to carry self-destructing unmanned fighters.

To be honest, humans have never fought a real space war, but not having fought does not mean that they know nothing. The universe is called the sea of ​​stars, so let's build a fleet according to the navy model.

Anyway, there is a star system as a support, and resources are almost inexhaustible. Small ships like frigates and destroyers do not require large space docks. Build as many as possible. As for space carriers, build one first. The hangar must be filled with self-destructive unmanned fighter jets.

In short, we must have a fleet of a certain size before setting sail again. One principle is to build as many as possible with the best productivity.

It is true that humans have been studying tactical armor, but the weapons design department knows very well that relying on a single soldier to drive a mecha to fight is tantamount to seeking death.

There is no need to do such tests. From the energy level that the tactical armor can carry, we know that it can't penetrate the outer shell defense of the warship.

Besides, it is impossible to break through the layers of frigate defense to get close to the main battleship, and the battleship's defense laser weapon is not vegetarian.

Therefore, in the human imagination, boarding battles are impossible, and the kind of killing into the enemy's warship by a single person is even more of a fantasy plot.

At least with the current technology mastered by humans, it is impossible to happen if the imaginary enemy has the same technology.

In the past ten years, in addition to breakthroughs in military industry, human technology in other fields has also made varying degrees of progress.

In terms of biotechnology, although another life medicine formula has not been developed, after all, humans have only been in this galaxy for more than ten years, not even the fifty years that Yikai vowed at the beginning, but many phased results have been achieved.

For example, anti-cancer factor enhancer, cell activity enhancer 1.0, anti-weightlessness calcium loss 2.0 drug, etc., obesity gene expression editing, and gene loss repair technology.

The emergence of all these drugs and technologies has basically brought the physical condition of human individuals to the peak level of normal people.
