Chapter 905 Gravitational String Channel Technology

Sometimes, the stupidity of the enemy is beyond imagination. Countless historical facts have proved that the two words "leadership" and "smartness" do not have a strong correlation. Instead, the word "butt" has more correlation.

Because the butt determines the head, Chu Fei is now facing such a stupid thing, which is the "counterattack" of Xianyunxing.

However, Chu Fei and others took the remaining warships and used the sun's gravity to accelerate their speed. When they were ten days away from Xianyun Star, Xianyun Star launched a "counterattack".

Battles in space are dangerous and boring, with everyone attacking each other across millions or even tens of millions of kilometers. There are none of the gorgeous effects seen in the movies - except for the scenes when the spacecraft is damaged and the attacks of particle cannons/plasma cannons.

But long-range attacks are usually lasers and electromagnetic guns. There is not enough air and dust in space, so there is no Tyndall effect, and lasers cannot be seen. The physical projectiles fired by electromagnetic guns do not emit light, are small in size and fast in speed, and are also difficult to detect.

Since there are no flashy effects, the attacks are almost invisible, increasing the danger to the extreme.

He had almost no idea whether he was being targeted, locked, or attacked.

This is not like the ground, which can be locked by radar. The distance is over a million kilometers, and light takes three seconds. The spacecraft is so fast that no one knows where it has flown after three seconds.

The entire space combat process is "high-tech blind shooting". The hit result depends entirely on luck, and whether you can be hit also depends entirely on luck.

The reason why it is "high-tech" blind typing is that high-tech calculations are required throughout the entire battle process. However, due to practical reasons, the entire attack process is blind typing.

In short, because of this special combat environment, Chu Fei prepared to dodge and attack in advance.

But less than three minutes after Chu Fei launched the attack, another fleet...well...or should I say "fleet" set off.

Hundreds of large and small spaceships appeared from the other side of the planet. Because they were blocked by the planet, Chu Fei did not notice them immediately, and the fleet had already accelerated. From this point of view, the other side's commander was still a smart man.

But what are so many spaceships for?

Then Chu Fei saw this huge, bloated fleet entering a huge ring one after another. According to the proportions and calculations of the planets, the diameter of this ring can reach hundreds of kilometers. It is located between Xianyun Star and the satellite "Red Moon", making full use of the gravity between the stars to maintain balance.

A large number of ships entered the ring, but none emerged from the other side.

Chu Fei watched silently through the astronomical telescope for a while, and exclaimed: "Is this the gravitational string channel? It's incredible."

The Holy Spirit master beside him was also stunned. The former Holy Spirit, or the former Salon civilization, was only one step away from becoming a true interstellar civilization. And now, the Holy Spirit saw this key technology.

Wang Bing said with emotion: "The gravitational string is the 'meridian' of the Milky Way. Here the speed limit of light is broken, and the spacecraft can continue to accelerate without increasing its mass due to the increase in speed.

However, are these people stupid? They are using the gravitational string channel to escape when facing a powerful enemy. Are they courting death?"

Wang Bing's following words can be said to have expressed Chu Fei's inner thoughts, which is why Chu Fei thought the other party was stupid.

On the solar exploration fleet, Chu Fei had come into contact with the technical theory of the gravitational string channel: once the entrance or exit of the gravitational string channel collapses, the gravitational string will swing or fling, and in extreme cases it will even cause the gravitational string to collapse.

You can imagine the scene when one end of a suspension bridge falls off. Of course, the suspension cable (gravity string) is still there, and the fleet can continue to move forward, but the danger inside the gravity string is beyond imagination. Of course, it is also possible that the suspension cable (gravity string) breaks due to excessive load.

The technical theory of the gravitational string channel is this:

Just like rivers in nature, there are also "rivers of gravity" in the interstellar space. These rivers of gravity are actually "super-dimensional channels" folded up by nature (interstellar gravity).

Taking the river as an example, we can see a series of "gullies" as the river flows. Some gullies are deep and will instantly roll up to become a small channel.

Of course, due to changes in the river water, this channel only existed for a short time.

But in interstellar space, this situation is relatively stable. And gravity naturally has super-dimensional properties - there is a theory that gravity is a projection of high-dimensional forces.

When the "gully" of gravity rolls up, a special state appears - folding, super-dimensional folding! This is the protein folding and super-dimensional folding theory that Chu Fei had previously studied crazily, and from this he launched the mathematical tool of "supermanifold".

Supermanifold is a concept that has only been recently deduced. Although the Yanhuang Federation did not have supermanifolds in the past, it still used other technical means and mathematical theories to study gravitational strings.

There are no efficient tools. Inefficient tools are equally effective. The worst that can happen is more calculations.

The Yanhuang civilization used to be able to develop nuclear bombs with the help of abacus, so what is the point of studying gravitational strings now? Not only have they developed gravitational strings, but they have also developed many "by-products", such as secret realms and portable storage space - folding space.

Before, Chu Fei didn’t understand why the storage space technology was called folding space. Now Chu Fei understood, because the folding technology was really used.

Okay, let’s talk about the case of gravitational string channels.

There are rivers of gravity in nature - gravitational strings, so all humans need to do is enter the gravitational strings.

Although the gravitational string is a "string" and sounds thin, that is relative to the universe. For humans, it is wider than the ocean, and there are wandering planets in some places.

There are not just wandering planets, there are also wandering black holes.

In addition, there is tremendous energy and a large amount of matter inside the gravitational string, and there may be some super life forms existing here.

It is still very dangerous inside the gravitational string, so it is not easy to develop the gravitational string or establish imports and exports.

If you want to open the entrance and exit of the gravitational string, you must rely on the gravity of the planet - only a large enough gravity can break the gravitational string, open the channel, and merge the gravitational string with the gravity of the planet to establish a gravitational string channel.

The relationship between a planet and the gravitational string is just like the relationship between the tower and the iron cable on a suspension bridge.

Once the gravity string (steel cable) on one side is disconnected, the gravity string will swing. At this time, the aircraft entering the gravity string will be like a submarine in a tsunami, which is infinitely dangerous.

In fact, the newly built gravitational string channel is very calm. But the starry sky is not calm, and the planets are also moving, so the gravitational string channel after construction will quickly accumulate stress. Once it is disconnected, these stresses will explode instantly.

The longer the gravitational string channel exists, the more stress it accumulates - or reaches a new equilibrium point. At present, this channel has existed for at least thousands of years. Once the gravitational string collapses, the steel inside can be torn apart.

This is like building a dam to block a river. During the construction of the dam, as long as the process and design are reasonable, it will be relatively calm; but after the dam is built and water begins to be stored, the pressure on the dam will be beyond imagination. If the dam collapses at this time, it will definitely cause a flood of thousands of miles.

Therefore, entering the gravity string channel to escape in this critical situation is like taking an elevator during a fire, for fear that one is not in danger enough.

In addition, when a spacecraft enters the gravitational string channel, it does not arrive instantly. This is a gravitational string channel, not a wormhole, let alone a teleportation array.

The biggest feature of the gravitational string channel is that it is no longer limited by the speed of light, and the mass will not increase with the square of the speed.

Entering the gravitational string channel, you can continue to accelerate up to ten times the speed of light or even a hundred times the speed of light.

Because it can continuously accelerate, it can achieve superluminal movement, and a distance of more than ten light years can be reached in a few months.

But if it is within a star system, between two close planets, the gravitational string channel is not very effective - it is useful, but not that useful.

It's like taking a plane to a nearby city. The plane starts to descend before it even reaches the stratosphere. If you take into account the time it takes to wait for the plane, it's still faster than driving a private car.

However, gravity strings do have some advantages. The first is that acceleration does not increase mass, which allows the spacecraft to accelerate crazily.

At the same time, movement in the gravitational string channel cannot be seen by the outside world, which is equivalent to entering a different dimension - perhaps this is the only advantage of entering the gravitational string channel in the current state.

But the problem is that Chu Fei estimated that he could only shoot down a dozen spaceships in the outside world. If something went wrong in the gravity string channel, even Xiaoqiang would not survive.

Could it be that they were betting that Chu Fei wouldn't dare to attack this passage?

Or should we bet that the fleet in front can intercept Chu Fei and others?

While thinking, Chu Fei did not order an attack on the gravitational string channel. The reason for this was not because Chu Fei was kind-hearted, but because of three important considerations.

First of all, there is the channel itself. Chu Fei is going to disassemble it for research; this is the technology that Chu Fei is very much looking forward to!

Secondly, in the face of a disaster, leaders are always allowed to leave first. Those who are leaving now are all leaders; with so many leaders pouring into Dragon and Tiger Twin Stars, the results will be exciting.

Chu Fei had seen some war prisoners before, and generally the brave ones were killed and the timid ones were released. Now it was almost the same effect.

Finally, Chu Fei had to consider people's hearts and public opinion. The role he was playing now could actually be considered a conqueror, not a "liberation hero." As a conqueror, he was born with many disadvantages; if he showed that he was not bloodthirsty, he would get a good start.

Chu Fei was certain that these leaders who left first would make all kinds of exaggerated statements, but he could prove his innocence by not attacking the gravitational string channel.

There will definitely be many people who will follow suit, but they are not the people Chu Fei needs. Such people will be troublesome. The real elites can distinguish between the real and the fake, and these people are the ones Chu Fei needs to win over.

Chu Fei finished his thoughts in an instant and commanded the fleet to continue moving forward while attacking the fleet in the distance.

But after observing for a while, Chu Fei frowned slightly, "This fleet doesn't seem to have launched an attack, it's just accelerating!"

After everyone looked carefully, they were suddenly stunned.

If the spacecraft attacks, it will inevitably affect the power; especially the recoil of the electromagnetic cannon attack is very large, the spacecraft will look like it is having epilepsy and its speed will drop instantly.

In short, if you draw a curve, the acceleration performance of the spacecraft when attacking will be like a wave line; if the electromagnetic cannon is used, there will be an obvious "trough".

However, the acceleration of the fleet in front was uniform, and there were no fluctuations in the power system, which meant that the fleet accelerated continuously without attacking.

Some people may ask, can't one power system be used for acceleration and the other for attack?

It's theoretically possible, but in practice it's stupid.

Instead of designing two power systems, why not use a larger one?

In aerospace technology, "self-weight, specific impulse" and other parameters are very important. Designing two power systems will cause the equipment's self-weight to exceed the standard and the specific impulse to decrease. The end result is that the performance of the spacecraft will be reduced, which will make it even more dangerous.

The spacecraft does have a backup power system, but it is an emergency power system, usually only one-tenth of the normal power or even lower. In extreme cases, it can also run in parallel with the main power system, but this backup power system is usually very weak.

In addition, the weapons on the spacecraft are very powerful and the backup power cannot be used to drive them. For example, when the electromagnetic catapult system on the aircraft carrier is activated, the power system of the aircraft carrier has to be suspended.

In short: by observing the movement, we can basically determine the attack situation of these spacecraft.

Wang Bing frowned slightly, "Is the other party preparing to get close to fight? Isn't this courting death?"

Jiang Guangyuan: "Is it possible that these spacecraft have not yet accelerated to a sufficient speed and are still accelerating?"

Chu Fei shook his head: "The opponent is on the defensive, attack is more important than speed; and speed is relative in space, the opponent can move sideways. It feels more like a missile than a spaceship!"

"Missile?" Wang Bing frowned. "A bomb this big can cause us huge trouble."

The bombs we usually use are only three to five meters in diameter. But if a spaceship is converted into a bomb, the bomb diameter is tens or hundreds of meters, which is enough to make people tremble.

Wang Bing nodded again, "This possibility is very high. Now we can only intercept them frantically."

Chu Fei: "We will also launch bombs. According to the current acceleration, we will meet in three days. There is enough time."

There are production equipment on the spacecraft, especially the flagship, which can expedite the production of bombs; there are also some bombs on the spacecraft, but they need to be modified. Just one day later, the opponent's "spacecraft" is still accelerating, and it is basically confirmed that it is an oversized bomb.

Lasers, electromagnetic cannons, etc. began to attack, but they were attacking some scattered, irregularly flying targets across millions of kilometers, while their own spacecraft was still in motion, and the hit rate was touching.

After being attacked, one of the "spaceships" exploded, and the flames of the explosion rushed out thousands of kilometers in space, and the shock wave range was larger than the planet. Such a crazy scene made Chu Fei sweat on his forehead.

Fortunately, hundreds of bombs flew out soon.

One day after these bombs were launched, they exploded out of thin air, scattering countless steel balls and steel fragments into space.

A large amount of debris was like a fishing net, covering the sky and the earth, and finally more "spaceship-type bombs" were damaged.

As more bombs flew out and more steel balls covered the void, all the super bombs were finally cleared. Three of them exploded, but most of them did not explode. The advanced explosives technology was still very stable.

However, after all this, the area of ​​tens of millions of kilometers around Xianyun Star was covered by various debris. Flying in this space will be very dangerous. In the future, spacecraft must use defense shields, barriers and other technologies throughout the flight, or shells made of hadron materials, ultra-pure iron technology, etc.

However, after all this trouble, the "escape fleet" on Xianyun Star has been completely wiped out.

Even seeing that Chu Fei did not attack, many hesitant people chose to run away. Chu Fei let these people leave.

When a large number of elites fled, the remaining people were actually very "clean". These abandoned people had only one choice - surrender.

Nine days later, when the spacecraft began to slow down, a few poor old aircraft appeared in the space, displaying a welcoming slogan:

The brave leader of the resistance army arrived at his loyal Xianyun Star, and was warmly welcomed by the one billion people on Xianyun Star. After thousands of years, the breath of freedom finally came to Xianyun Star again. (End of this chapter)
