Taking advantage of the time, Cao Chuan simulated a protective force field.
The biggest difference between it and the deflection magnetic field is that the deflection magnetic field's action area is extremely small.
From the perspective of defense effect, it is only slightly reduced, but cannot completely eliminate the damage.
As for the protective force field, the most basic requirement is to be able to construct a shape at will, support a sufficient area, and have a way to withstand kinetic energy impacts from the outside world.
Therefore, just such a simple description involves several technical issues.
The first is how to freely construct shapes.
At least traditional light energy cannot be used as a thin film to wrap the spacecraft.
The second is how to effectively resist external damage.
Assuming it is a kinetic energy weapon, a cannonball must at least penetrate the thickness and density of the atmosphere to effectively reduce the power.
Therefore, the thickness of the force field will not be low, and it must be ensured that it will not affecting the interior of the spacecraft.
There are many similar questions, which has led scientists to always dream of using energy as a means of protection for spacecraft.
Compared with matter, energy is more consumable.
However, in fact, protective force fields have always been a barrier that has not yet been broken through in the scientific community.
"Let me think about it, how do I add the technology tree?
I always feel like something is missing."
The rules simulation showed vague results.
Slowly, Cao Chuan found the first step of the technical requirements for the protective force field.
That is wireless power transmission technology that has been around for some years.
"Using mature wireless transmission technology, you can create a stable, external spherical force field.
As long as you find a way to enhance the power of the wireless transmission tower, you can change its function from transmitting energy to dissipating energy. to protect us.”
"The biggest disadvantage of wireless transmission technology is energy loss, because the working environment of the protective force field is always in a vacuum and will not be lost by passing through the air, and there is also a way to keep the wireless transmission tower in a closed field.
The energy continues to circulate, and the energy consumed is the most It will be reduced by at least 95.”
"Strengthening the thickness of the force field to more than 50 meters, such as electromagnetic gun shells, meteorites, and the atmosphere, will be hindered by the energy field, resulting in a reduction in kinetic energy.
Reducing the mass can solve the second problem and achieve a sufficient level of protection."
The protective force field cannot protect energy.
It is more effective to hand over the energy-absorbing armor plate to protect energy, and the technology is more mature.
Otherwise, it is necessary to protect both matter and energy.
At least one energy will not have a counteracting effect on the other energy, except for the extremely expensive anti-energy.
Obviously, this thing can only be used by scientists for experiments at most, and it is definitely not luxurious enough to be used in the military field.
Three lolita were whispering to a drawing of a protective force field tower.
"Is it necessary to deploy multiple protective force field towers on the spacecraft to generate a spherical force field?"
"Yes, otherwise working through a protective force field tower will not only waste energy, but also affect the crew and the interior of the spacecraft."
"In terms of saving energy, through Shen's excitation effect, the defensive force field will run at a lower power during normal times.
When the external material is sensed to cut the force field, the force field tower will be in 01 seconds.
The power will increase by 10 times.
This will enhance the blocking effect and stop dangerous big guys.”
"Indeed, after repeated calculations, even if the protective force field tower is allowed to work in a vacuum environment and maintain a closed field state, the energy consumed is still a bit scary.
More energy-saving measures have to be introduced."
Loli asked questions one after another.
In their opinion, there are many problems with the protective force field, even if these problems are not actually problems and can be solved by existing technology.
If they can't figure it out, there will be no manufacturing.
As Loli started working, Cao Chuan then considered an energy extraction device that would be mature enough to meet the needs of 100 years from now.
But this time, after regular simulation, he found that the original star stream supply technology was still not valid and could be considered a wrong path.
Even if they developed hydrogen-helium fusion energy technology, so what?
They could obtain more from the universe. , at the same time, more advanced spacecraft will only consume higher energy.

Therefore, thin stardust material could never effectively alleviate the contradiction.
As the rules simulation progressed, he still set his target on stars and gaseous planets.
The main materials of these two kinds of stars are hydrogen and helium.
The difference is that the environment of the stars is slightly harsher.
The temperature of thousands of degrees Celsius on the surface makes them unable to get close easily.
Only they are enough to satisfy the huge appetite of future spacecraft, and as the spacecraft As the speed increases, the time cost of supplying supplies to and from different stars will be greatly reduced.
"Suppose there is a device that allows our spacecraft to easily dig out a large lump of hydrogen and helium after it gets close to the star, and then transports it into the spacecraft.
Then the problem is solved."
The results of the rule simulation show this.
A more vivid picture appeared.
An energy-depleted spacecraft passed through the depths of Jupiter's atmosphere at a low speed of 1,000 kilometers per second.
Then the spacecraft released a smaller moon-level spacecraft, composed of molecular-level materials that withstand high temperatures and pressures.
Even if it is close to the sun, Alpha Centaur b will not have any major problems.
Even if it is touched at close range by cosmic disasters such as solar prominences and flares, nothing will happen.
The interior of the spacecraft is empty.
As it comes into contact with the ubiquitous energy outside, the spacecraft opens its mouth like a whale swallowing.
Hot hydrogen and helium are compressed and loaded into it, and are quickly cooled into liquid or even solid state.
The amount reaches 200 tons until it is loaded.
Full.
The fully loaded Moon-class spacecraft then returns to the mother ship.
The high-altitude mother ship is further away from the star, and there is almost a risk in the replenishment process.
When the high-pressure hydrogen and helium material in the Moon-class spacecraft is dumped out, these high-quality energy can be easily used.
According to the current generation technology, the 002 deuterium, tritium and helium 3 can be filtered out.
Even a few tons are enough to satisfy the spacecraft for a long time. demand; and when hydrogen and helium fusion energy is born, these energy sources can even be 100% clean, and there is no need to worry about mining them back for use.
"Do we need to make some modifications to the Moon-class spacecraft?"
Cao Chuan said to himself.
The production of energy extraction equipment does not involve any bottleneck technology, but it will definitely take a while to modify the spacecraft.
Fortunately, there was no shortage of time for the time being.
He spent another two years transforming a Moon-class spacecraft on the Galaxy Echo into an energy-absorbing spacecraft.
In this way, the technological level of the Galaxy Echo once again surpassed the existing human technology.
A big chunk.
At present, the protective force field and energy extraction equipment only exist inside the Galaxy Echo.
In fact, both are technologies that are suitable for popularization and are widely used.
They can be used not only in spaceships, but also in space stations and ground buildings floating in the universe.
Imagine that a protective force field directly outside the military base will greatly reduce the power of kinetic energy weapons and turn it into a fortress that cannot fall.
Building a large-scale energy extraction station in the orbit of a star can withstand high temperatures of thousands of degrees Celsius and strong electromagnetic fields while continuously extracting energy for fusion.
This is a truly feasible way to realize a Dyson sphere
