v4 Chapter 1416： Dark matter reactor

The Spring of Crisis Era 82.

The second year of the human expedition fleet stationed in the Yufu dwarf galaxy v232.

As a roar of dark energy exploded in the laboratory, the first dark matter reactor was successfully manufactured.

In fact, the Palestine civilization had already developed a dark matter reactor ten years ago and completed the process of transforming dark matter into energy.

However, the dark matter reactor studied by the Palerce civilization requires too much ignition and requires huge energy consumption, which makes it impossible to maintain a continuous dark matter response.

The best scientific research team of human civilization took a year to open the door of the dark matter reactor with the "key", and solved the problem of high energy demand for dark matter reactor ignition.

And this key is Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan has conducted thousands of experiments and successfully helped the dark matter reactor to ignite.

However, the current ignition process has a shortcoming, that is, Fang Yuan must personally use dark energy to ignite.

The scientific research team is working hard to solve this defect. According to the progress of the experiment, it is expected to be able to ignite autonomously in one year.

Because v232 has been in the Yufu dwarf galaxy for a year.

The Carbon-based Alliance has repeatedly proposed that mankind go to other frontal battlefields to participate in the war.

Among them, the three-eyed civilization has begun to be yin and yang in terms of words.

If the human expeditionary fleet continues to stay in the Yufu dwarf galaxy v232, it is likely to arouse the suspicion of the Carbon-based Alliance.

...

"We have stayed in the Yufu dwarf galaxy v232 for too long and we need to fight head-on, otherwise the Carbon-based Alliance should be suspicious. Professor, when will the dark matter reactor be assembled on the fleet?" Fang Yuan is not sure when the dark matter reactor will be implemented. Installed.

"The dark matter reactor currently manufactured requires you to assist in the ignition. If it is installed in the expeditionary fleet, it is not difficult. It is okay to expand the manufacturing of the current laboratory version and install it directly. It is not difficult to replace the energy system of the battleship. But if you wait another three months, the dark matter thruster should also come out." Yang Yuping said.

Fang Yuan opened his eyes sharply and asked, "So fast?"

"Not fast, science and technology will not be difficult, but not difficult. Once the dark matter reactor breaks through, the corresponding series of technologies can be upgraded." Yang Yuping replied.

"If even the dark matter thrusters are installed in the entire fleet, how long will it take?" Fang Yuan pondered carefully.

"The whole fleet is installed, and there will be no problem after half a year."

The speed of scientific research projects carried out by the power of all mankind is beyond imagination.

Half a year is not a long time, just find a reason to upgrade the battleship, clarify the time of the battle, the mechanical empire will not be too tough.

However, there is a problem, and that is how much combat power can be improved after the battleship is upgraded. If the improvement is not much, then there is no need to upgrade now.

"If the dark matter reactor and the dark matter thruster are all installed, how much can the combat effectiveness of the battleship be increased?" Fang Yuan asked the question of most concern.

Yang Yuping laughed and said, "I guessed you would ask this question a long time ago, and this question has been simulated and calculated many times.

"Let's tell you this. In the case that the warship structure can withstand a higher curvature speed, the speed can be at least doubled.

"This is not the point. The most important feature of the dark matter reactor is that it does not need to carry reaction materials.

"At this stage, the antimatter reactors used by Palerce and the Mechanical Empire need to carry a large amount of antimatter materials.

"Because of the existence of antimatter materials, warships need to vacate a lot of space to load these materials, which invisibly drags down the combat effectiveness of warships.

"The dark matter reactor is different. This is an energy system that is more advanced than the vacuum zero point energy. It does not need to carry raw materials and can extract dark energy from the space to supply energy."

Fang Yuan understood it as soon as he heard it.

At this stage, the design principle of warships manufactured by advanced civilization is the use of space.

Battleships, cruisers, and destroyers, the three most common warships, have different functions.

The destroyer is fast and has relatively weak firepower.

The battleship has strong firepower, but its speed is relatively slow.

The reason for this situation.

The reason is that warships must have four major systems: energy system, power system, weapon system, and shield system.

The four major systems all need to occupy part of the space of the warship.

As the space occupied by one system becomes larger, the space of the other systems naturally becomes smaller.

In the end, there will be several directions in the design of the battleship.

Either highlight the firepower, or highlight the speed.

Warships with outstanding firepower need to face off against enemy warships, so the shield system needs to be strengthened.

The increase in the proportion of weapon systems and shield systems will further squeeze the space of energy systems and power systems.

The energy system is the foundation of everything. If there is no energy system, the other three systems cannot operate.

Therefore, the only thing that is squeezed is the power system.

This is also the real reason for the slower speed of battleships.

"How much can it be improved?" Fang Yuan couldn't wait to know how the battleship would be improved after the dark matter reactor and dark matter thruster were installed.

"At the current level of the dark matter reactor, upgrading only the energy system and power system can double the speed of the battleship. Due to the upgrade of the energy system, the data of the corresponding weapon system and shield system will also increase by more than 50%. This is just the initial improvement of dark matter technology, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future.

When Fang Yuan heard this, his eyelids jumped again.

At this stage, warships of advanced civilization are designed after compromise, and every detail has been designed to maximize the combat effectiveness of warships.

Therefore, although there is a generation difference between the warships of civilizations such as Palese, the Mechanical Empire, the warships 20,000 years ago and the main battleships in active service, the gap is not very large.

Because there is no technology that breaks the balance, even with continuous optimization, there is actually not much room for improvement.

Now, the advent of the dark matter reactor has directly doubled the speed and increased the data of the weapon system and shield system by 50%.

The weapon system and the shield system are increased by 50% at the same time. The result is not a 50% increase in the combat effectiveness of the battleship. The increase in combat power data is a multiplier increase.

The increase in combat power value will be 125%.

This means that facing the boom, 1vs2 can be achieved.

However, this is not the most terrifying thing, the most terrifying thing is the speed.

"The speed of battleships can be doubled? Doesn't it mean that battleships all have the speed of destroyers?" Fang Yuan's breathing was a little short.

"Yes, as long as the warship's structure is strong enough, after the dark matter reactor and dark matter thruster are assembled, the speed of the battleship can reach the speed of the current destroyer. This is the simulation result." Yang Yuping confirmed.
