Chapter 1610 Planetary Highway System

Without giving them time to digest the huge amount of information contained in their own words, Lu Zhou stood up from the sofa, stretched out his index finger and swiped in the air.

Soon, a translucent holographic panel appeared in front of him, and with a light tap of his index finger, it instantly diffused into light particles in the sky, and reorganized into the appearance of the solar system in the air.

Looking at the holographic image projected in front of them, Chairman Li Guangya and Commander Sun Liwei's faces were already full of surprise, and they involuntarily became more confused.

After staring at the star map for a long time, Commander Sun Liwei frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking first.

"This is……"

"Interplanetary highway system," looking at the trajectories outlined among the planets, Lu Zhou index finger casually selected the one connecting Mars and the Earth-Moon system, "In short, in addition to the warp drive, We also have a special and relatively stable method to realize the rapid exchange of matter and information by means of hyperspace channels."

Li Guangya frowned slightly.

"Can this... be achieved?"

"Of course it can be achieved, otherwise I wouldn't have said that."

After glancing at Li Guangya, Lu Zhou continued in a calm tone.

"Even, in theory, this acceleration method will make it easier to jump than a warp drive installed on a single ship. We only need to open a fixed channel at both ends of the space, and the exchange of matter and signals will naturally occur in the channel." It happens at the endpoints on both sides. And considering that the gravitational coordinates of the two doors are relatively fixed, the real-time calculation steps for the hyperspace channel will be much simpler than the single-ship jump.”

In fact, the things Lu Zhou described were not entirely his ideas.

A large part of it comes from what he saw and heard in the second void memory. Using the gravitational bond between massive celestial bodies to open the hyperspace channel is the core principle of the warp speed technology mastered by the Jialan Empire.

Related speculations have been successful on the Z particle vibration device, and Lu Zhou has reason to make further guesses. Those "star gates" deployed around the world around the capital of the Jialan Empire also use the same technology.

As for how those stargates managed to keep the hyperspace channel stable...

This is the next thing to think about.

At least, in the general direction, he already knows that this technical idea is feasible.

After listening to Lu Zhou's description, Sun Liwei fell into deep thought.

After about a minute, he spoke in a hesitant tone.

"...I don't know if my understanding is correct. It means that this hyperspace channel maintained by two portals is equivalent to inserting a pipe in space. Every exchange of information and matter It goes through the same path, so the energy consumption is relatively low? And the warp drive is equivalent to installing a drill bit on each starship, and each transition is equivalent to re-drilling a hole in the universe? So the energy consumption will be relatively high .”

"If you really don't understand the theory of hyperspace...it's not a problem if you understand it this way."

Lu Zhou didn't expect much from the old man's theoretical knowledge, so Lu Zhou continued to click on the holographic image with his index finger.

Soon, with the touch of his fingertips, the line connecting the Earth-Moon system and Mars continued to expand outwards, and two circles of inverted rings spread out at the positions of the endpoints.

The tiny structure looks dazzling, but it is unexpectedly simple from a macro perspective. The whole device is like a fishing line, connecting the two planets together.

"The technical principle of the whole project is actually very simple. According to the disturbance of the gravitational field when the Z particle falls from high latitude to low latitude, it changes the space-time curvature distribution between the Earth-Moon system and Mars, forming a folded area."

"As you can see now, we deploy a Z particle vibration device on both sides and keep it vibrating at a specific frequency, so as to form a stable and open ultra-stable line between the earth-moon system and Mars. Space channel."

Saying that, a virtual starship appeared on the holographic image.

When the starship slowed down and passed the ring on the side of the earth, the entire starship was like a bullet being pushed into the chamber of a gun, and was "sucked" into the symbol at an incredible speed into the transparent tube of the hyperspace channel, and then less than two seconds later, it was "spit" out from another channel.

Looking at the two people who were shocked by the holographic model in front of them, Lu Zhou smiled lightly and continued.

"The whole project is divided into two parts, and the technical difficulty may be relatively large. After all, even here, many concepts are just vague guesses, and more experiments are needed to further verify. But compared to the technical difficulties , with the magnetic field generation technology of this era, the engineering difficulty and engineering volume of the entire project should not be very large."

It took a long time to recover from the shock, Commander Sun swallowed, his tone could not help but tremble slightly because of the excitement.

"What about safety? Is the hyperspace channel opened in this way reliable? In case of a sudden power outage, or similar technical failures that cause the channel to suddenly close, will the starship inside... be unable to come out?"

This is his biggest concern.

Speed ​​is the eternal pursuit of the Aerospace Forces, but if the consideration of safety is ignored because of speed, then the cart before the horse.

It took Pan-Asian cooperation a century to build their strongest armada in the solar system. It would be a terrible loss if they were stopped halfway because of a superluminal leap...

"Don't worry about this. Even if the hyperspace channel is suddenly closed, the spacecraft inside will reappear at the source of gravity—that is, somewhere between the two planets. The specific location depends on the stage of the transition, but it must be It can come out," Lu Zhou continued, "This is a conclusion based on the data I collected on the Qinling, so you don't have to worry about getting lost in hyperspace. In fact, if you want to cross dimensions , it is not so easy to enter the gap between the curved surfaces of the universe from the n-dimensional universe."

Unable to hold back the curiosity in his heart, Li Guangya couldn't help asking the bottom line.

"If you want to enter the gap between the curved surfaces of the universe? Is there any way?"

"The center of the Milky Way may be the nearest entrance. Of course... this is just my speculation. There may be other ways." Lu Zhou glanced at Li Guangya, smiled and continued, "But I bet you must Wouldn't want to go in there."

Li Guangya asked curiously, "Why?"

"Because there is nothing there, our universe is so fragile that it is not even as good as a piece of paper." Looking out of the window, a hint of memory floated in Lu Zhou's eyes, as if remembering something far away, concise and to the point said, "And those who have been there, or have seen it, call it void."
