Chapter 392

The short maintenance period of two and a half years passed in a hurry

The human army almost turned the planet Riley upside down, but still did not find any more traces of "enlightener civilization". The other party seems to come and leave in a hurry, leaving only an elusive breeze.

Now that the maintenance and repair work of Kunlun Mountain has been completed, it is impossible for mankind to explore the planet all the time. The whole fleet is ready to start again.

However, there have been fairly good scientific and technological developments in the past two years.

First, the first Falcon III destroyer appeared in the world.

The design of "falcon III" destroyer has begun in the past few decades. In the manufacturing process of more than two years, several scientific teams have urgently tackled various difficulties, and a more powerful magnetic field has been applied to all corners of the spacecraft.

"Falcon-iii" spacecraft uses super magnetic-a materials to realize interstellar ramjet technology with better performance. Its mobility will become better, and electromagnetic guns, ion guns and other weapons will become more powerful, faster and faster.

Simply estimate that the firepower of one Falcon III is comparable to that of the previous two Falcon II!

This is a great progress, because the population of Kunlun Mountain is limited. Before another industrial upgrading, the spacecraft that can be maintained is also limited.

At present, there are four Falcon destroyers and 26 petrel III frigates.

A falcon destroyer needs 3000 permanent soldiers, and a petrel class frigate needs 200 permanent soldiers. Together, there are 17000 permanent soldiers.

This is just a resident soldier. Soldiers also have to hibernate, take turns, and return to the mothership to recuperate. It is impossible to carry out military tasks for a long time in the vast universe. In this way, the total number of soldiers taking turns has almost reached 100000.

In addition, Kunlun Mountain itself needs a large number of soldiers to give full play to its real strength. The firepower of Kunlun Mountain is much stronger than these small and medium-sized spacecraft. There are a large number of logistics personnel, engineers and all kinds of messy R & D personnel. If so, the relevant military population exceeds 500000!

This kind of military strength is already the limit that society can carry, and there can be no more.

It is impossible for the whole civilization to be militaristic. It is certainly unrealistic for everyone to be soldiers, or to maintain spaceships and be military engineers.

It is more important for mankind to maintain the normal operation of all walks of life and maintain social stability. If the spacecraft is manufactured, there is not enough population, or there is not enough maintenance capacity, and it has been idle, it will soon be abandoned

Therefore, what people can do is to improve the quality as much as possible, not the quantity.

If it is only quantity, it can be made up with various mass-produced UAVs.

In addition, the Kunlun Mountain Mothership has also been greatly improved. After all, even the "falcon-iii" uses a stronger magnetic field, so the Mothership can also upgrade relevant military equipment.

In addition, the installation of the magnetic field generator will reduce the wear of cosmic particles on the Kunlun Mountain, and the Mothership can accelerate to a higher speed. From the original rated 10% light speed to 11%, don't underestimate the 1% light speed gap, which is a very good achievement. Kinetic energy acceleration is really not easy, and you can't ask too much.

At the meeting before departure, Zhang Yuan summarized the achievements in the past two years and the main research directions in the future.

"... there are two main contents to be carried out next. The first is to miniaturize and normalize the ferromagnetic-a material.

"If this magnetic field technology can be applied to UAVs, the performance of UAVs will change qualitatively."

"If a larger magnetic field can be used in industry, it can also drive the upgrading of some industries... Especially the plasma smelting system in the environment of ultra-high magnetic field and the research and development of special metal materials. This is a top priority. "

"Even if the theory of subatomic material science has not made a breakthrough... But we don't insist on developing what can be developed to the best first."

Material science is not only the material basis for human survival and development, but also the core of all scientific and technological progress industries; The continuous development of new materials is an important yardstick to measure the level of social technology and future scientific and technological development.

The development of many technologies is essentially the development of materials science. Human beings have smelted bronze and black iron to open a new era.

The successful development of ultrapure silicon and gallium arsenide has led to the birth of large-scale and very large-scale integrated circuits, and the computer operation speed has increased from hundreds of thousands of times per second to hundreds of billions of times per second; The core part of the turbine engine is the turbine blade, which requires operation at a high temperature of about 1500 degrees. It needs to be resistant to high temperature and high pressure. After 40 years of efforts, the United States officially developed qualified dual phase nickel base alloy in 1980, which made the birth of turbine engine possible.

Of course, these are old calendars. Under ultra-high magnetic field, it is an important topic to sort all atoms in materials in order to achieve higher performance.

Many people in the conference room were silent, and no one issued a military order saying that there would be a breakthrough in the next few decades. The basic construction in this area is really difficult. It requires a lot of talent, inspiration and even a trace of good luck.

At this point, Zhang Yuan paused for a while and then continued: "don't think that our civilization is already very strong and can easily feed everyone. We are far from enough. Can we build Dyson ball? Not at all. "

"Can we dig out a metal planet and build a planetary spaceship? It may be possible, but it will take tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years! "

"We still have a long way to go."

"The second is the research on brain assisted memory chip. There are enough materials in the laboratory to squander to the next foothold... So please don't worry about resources. "

"Now let's invite Professor Luo of the human brain Institute to introduce the latest progress of brain assisted memory chip!"

Brain assisted memory chip!

There was a slight commotion among the people at the bottom, and many journalists refocused their attention and showed interest. In every summing up meeting, they are most interested in only these.

Since Professor Li Zhendong cracked part of the memory code in the neural network decades ago, there have been some small breakthroughs in the research of brain assisted memory chip

In fact, the research on human brain chip has lasted for thousands of years, and there are many application achievements on earth. For example, love chip can make people feel the sweetness of first love when they see a specific lover. This chip controls the cheating rate of the whole society, and things such as hidden rules have been greatly reduced, which has greatly increased the clarity of the whole society.

What else can focus on chips make people happier to engage in some work... Some boring studies are no longer so boring, but full of fun.

In fact, these chips achieve a certain purpose by controlling the secretion of some hormones in the brain, that is, regulating the production conditions of "happiness". The principle and practical operation are not particularly difficult.
