Chapter 384

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

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

Since the maintenance and repair work of Kunlun Mountain has been completed, it is impossible for human beings to continue to survey the planet. The whole fleet is ready to start again.

However, there has been a fairly good technological development in the past two years.

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

The design of "falcon-iii" destroyer has been started in the past few decades. In the manufacturing process of more than two years, several scientific groups have made urgent efforts to tackle various difficulties. The more powerful magnetic field has been applied to every corner of the spacecraft.

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

It is simply estimated that the firepower of one Falcon III is comparable to that of the previous two falcons II!

This is a very big progress, because the population of Kunlun Mountain is limited, and before the industrial upgrading again, there are also limited spaceships that can be maintained.

At present, there are four Falcon destroyers and 26 petrel III frigates in human military strength.

A falcon destroyer needs 3000 permanent soldiers, and a petrel frigate needs 200 permanent soldiers. In total, 17000 permanent soldiers.

It's just resident soldiers. Soldiers have to hibernate and rest in rotation, and they have to return to the mothership to recuperate. It's impossible for them to carry out long-term military missions in the vast universe. In this way, the total number of retired soldiers has 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 far more powerful than these small and medium-sized spaceships. There are a large number of logistics personnel, engineers, and all kinds of messy R & D personnel. If so, the relevant military population is more than 500000!

This kind of military strength is the limit that the society can bear, 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, or to be military engineers.

It is more important for human beings to maintain the normal operation of all walks of life and social stability. If the spaceship is built without enough population or enough maintenance capacity, it will be abandoned soon

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

If it's just quantity, it can be made up with a variety of mass-produced UAVs.

In addition, the Kunlun Mountain Mothership has also been greatly improved. After all, even the Falcon III has a stronger magnetic field, so the Mothership can also upgrade its military equipment.

In addition, the installation of the magnetic field generator will make the wear of cosmic particles on Kunlun Mountain less, and the carrier can accelerate to a higher speed. The speed of light has increased from 10% to 11% of the original rated speed. Don't underestimate the difference of 1% speed of light. This is a very good achievement. Kinetic energy acceleration is not easy to achieve. We can't ask too much for it.

At the meeting before his departure, Zhang Yuan summed up the achievements of the past two years and the main directions for tackling key problems in the future.

“…… Next, we are going to carry out two main contents. The first is to miniaturize and normalize the super-magnetic-a materials.

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

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

"Even if the theory of subatomic materials science has not been broken through But we don't demand that we develop the best that can be developed first. "

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

The development of many technologies, in essence, is the development of materials science. Only by smelting bronze and black iron, can a new era be opened.

The successful development of ultra pure silicon and gallium arsenide has led to the birth of large-scale and ultra large-scale integrated circuits, which has increased the computing speed of computers from hundreds of thousands of times per second to hundreds of billions of times per second. The core part of turbine engine is turbine blade, which requires high temperature operation at about 1500 degrees. It needs high temperature resistance and high pressure resistance. After 40 years of efforts, in 1980, the United States officially developed qualified dual phase nickel base alloy, which made the birth of turbine engine possible.Of course, these are the old almanac. Under the ultra-high magnetic field, it is an important topic to make all the atoms in the material orderly 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. It's really hard to build a foundation in this area. It takes a lot of genius, inspiration and even a little bit of luck.

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

"Can we empty a metal planet and build planetary ships? Maybe, but it will take tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years! "

"We still have a long way to go."

"Second, it's about the research of brain assisted memory chip. There are enough materials in the laboratory to waste to the next foothold So please don't worry about resources. "

"Now let's welcome Professor Luo from the Institute of human brain to introduce the latest development of brain assisted memory chips!"

Brain assisted memory chip!

There was a slight commotion among the people at the bottom, and many reporters refocused and showed interest. This is the only thing they are most interested in at every summing up meeting.

Since Professor Li Zhendong cracked part of the memory codes in neural networks decades ago, there have been some small breakthroughs in the research of brain assisted memory chips

In fact, the research on human brain chips has lasted for thousands of years, and there are many applications on earth. For example, love chips can make people feel sweet like first love when they meet a particular lover. This kind of chip controls the derailment rate of the whole society, and the hidden rules and other things have been greatly reduced, which has greatly increased the purity of the whole society.

What else can focus on chips to make people more happy in certain jobs Some boring learning is no longer so boring, but full of fun.

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