During the brief hiatus of the Observer Project, after more than 50 years of previous regular simulations, Cao Chuan figured out the prerequisites for the fourth generation spacecraft.
The purpose of the fourth-generation spacecraft is to allow humans to travel across the galaxy.
Therefore, it must have at least 100 times the speed of light, shuttle through black holes and jump channels, survive in extremely harsh conditions, and provide a larger space for various uses. comprehensive needs.
If we extrapolate according to the above conditions, we can probably get the following technology Dark energy supply technology can increase the endurance of the spacecraft by dozens of times.
If the dark energy supply equipment did not take up a lot of space, the endurance of the spacecraft would be almost infinite. e dark particles provide a more considerable energy density, thereby allowing the spacecraft to output more energy per unit time for driving the spacecraft and saving part of the hull space.
Phase propulsion allows the spacecraft to reach a speed of 2.95 million kilometers per second in regular space, which is almost infinitely close to the speed of light.
If multiplied by the increase provided by the jump, the ultimate speed of the spacecraft will easily exceed 100 times the speed of light.
Cheap molecular-level and atomic-level material production technology, these technologies obtained from aliens, have allowed the strength of a spacecraft built entirely of molecular-level and atomic-level materials to rise to the limit of matter.
Otherwise, if the quality of the materials is not enough Guan, no matter how fast the speed is, it is just a daydream.
Although the above technology allows the spacecraft to reach 100 times the speed of light, the time it takes for the spacecraft to cross the Milky Way is still more than 1,000 years, which is too long.
Therefore, there is a stargate device for black hole crossing, which opens the jump of wormholes in high-dimensional space.
There are tunnel buildings and temple-like active jump equipment that are only used by large spaceships.
If there is a suitable route.
Humanity's voyage across the galaxy may be shortened to 200 years, which is a barely acceptable number.
Society will not be cut off from each other's development because of this, and the integrity and unity of the Eastern Galaxy Company and the human world can still be maintained.
Among the above three technologies, active jump technology has just been broken through recently.
In essence, active jump technology is equivalent to installing a jump channel on the spacecraft.
Therefore, only a large enough spacecraft can bear the volume occupied by the jump channel and the terrible energy consumption.
Active jump technology and jump channel technology are connected, which is why Cao Chuan was able to develop a shipboard active jump channel in such a short period of time.
Next, after the spacecraft enters the high-dimensional space, it has to sail for a period of time.
During this period, it is not as easy as a black hole.
It depends entirely on the spacecraft's own positioning and pathfinding to have a chance to find its way out.
High-dimensional space positioning technology needs to be used here again, and the only way to do this is to take a mature route.
Or a stable space with little fluctuation can save this step, but this is undoubtedly a necessary prerequisite for the fourth generation spacecraft.
With this technology, it is a pity that the spaceship produced is undoubtedly a bare-board spaceship with no special purpose.
If it is a prototype, it will make sense, but if it reaches the trial production stage.
In the mass production stage, various other technologies must be used.
For example, for combat use.
The Star Destroyer Cannon is bound to be used.
As a weapon temporarily banned from use by the East Galaxy Company, when the fourth generation spacecraft comes out, it will be enough to become the standard weapon of the fleet.
With dark energy supply technology, it may be easier to use.
There are also fourth-generation unmanned units and mechas.
As weapons and equipment for ordinary soldiers within the fleet, it will increase the combat effectiveness of the fleet composed of fourth-generation spaceships.
Relatively speaking, there will be less high-tech for civilian and commercial use, but in fact there will still be differences, such as the pursuit of warehousing space.
For example, the pursuit of comprehensive capabilities, the desire to create an ecological environment, and the pursuit of absolute comfort must be combined with the design drawings of the spacecraft.
Fortunately, these small technologies can be handed over to the Academy of Sciences and research institutes.
It doesn’t take them long to develop these technologies, and they don’t even need to establish projects.
They rely entirely on the needs of the people to drive factories.
Companies, maybe they can also develop them.
These technologies come.
After spending several years working on the design drawings alone, the first prototype spaceship was designed by Cao Chuan's "creation".
The spacecraft of this class are called the Home-class, which is an upgraded version of the old third-generation spacecraft Home-class.
"Home-class, performance parameters are 22 kilometers in length, 450 meters in width, 320 meters in height, 8 million tons of empty weight, 85 million tons of load, 350,000 crew members, 6 million passengers, maximum speed of 2.95 million kilometers per second, and space folding magnification 135 times.”
Since the Home-class is relatively small among the fourth-generation spaceships, its overall performance is the best, especially in terms of speed.
It is suitable for transformation into a trading spacecraft for large companies, an immigration spacecraft, and a main cruiser in the fleet.

As for the upgraded version, even if the national-level Cao Chuan is designed, due to its excessive size, some performance will be compromised, and the cost will be so terrible that it would take several planets to support it. , more often than not, represents the glory of East Galaxy Company.
Even if they own Galaxy as their base, it will still not be a mass-produced mass product.
"National level, performance parameters are 48 kilometers in length, 850 meters in width, 720 meters in height, 40 million tons of empty weight, 1 billion tons of load, 100,000 crew members, 50 million passengers, maximum speed of 260,000 kilometers per second, and space folding magnification 90 times.”
National level, as its name suggests, only the flagships of the East Galaxy Company's trade fleet, the flagships of several major fleets, or the flagships of the unmanned corps can use it.
Of course, although the national level is not as perfect as the home level, there is no doubt about its sense of existence.
It is equipped with unlimited soldiers, unmanned units, war supplies and star destroyer cannons.
It is almost capable of fighting the unknown until the end, unless the resources in the surrounding area are available. exhaustion, otherwise, the war will not end easily.
The amount of losses suffered by the country will be replenished through escort fleets, star energy extraction and other methods.
On Earth, a Home-class ship is undergoing a comprehensive transformation.
Engineers mobilized from the research institute under the Academy of Sciences are working day and night, while Cao Chuan is patiently waiting for the Home-class transformation to be completed.
The transformation of the Home-class will be relatively smooth, and it will help humans better understand the significance of the fourth-generation spacecraft.
However, there are also more advanced national-class, as well as early moon-class, sun-class, and star-class spacecraft upgrades.
Over the past eight centuries, several pioneers with strong industrial capabilities and powerful private factories have developed knock-off versions and upgraded versions of magic modifications.
If you make statistics, you will find that the main models involved are actually There will be at least more than 100 types, which is not an easy task
