Space channels actually make use of space distortions. By discovering and searching for space distortions caused by massive celestial bodies, the purpose of inter-dimensional cosmic navigation is achieved. The space channels themselves do not cause space distortions, but only serve as bridges, i.e. The space distortions generated by the mass celestial bodies are connected together to form a continuous channel that can exist stably in a short period of time.
It can be seen that the premise of space channel technology is space distortion, and the only thing that causes space distortion is massive celestial bodies.
Because there are many star systems in the star system, as well as more massive celestial bodies, such as black holes, the space inside the star system is highly distorted, which provides a good foundation for the space channel. The problem is that there are no massive celestial bodies or even celestial bodies in the vast universe of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of light-years between star systems. The space is completely extended, and there is no basic condition for opening the space channel.
To put it more vividly, the various star systems in the star system and the many isolated celestial bodies are actually like islands densely distributed in the sea, and the space channel technology is just to assume a bridge between these islands, so that it can be quickly and conveniently From one island to another island. The star system is equivalent to the archipelago, and the two archipelagoes are extremely far apart. If the space channel technology is still used, it is necessary to build a bridge across the entire ocean, which is not only more technically difficult, but also more expensive. It can even be said that the technology used to build bridges between islands cannot be used to build a bridge across the entire ocean.
Of course, this ocean is not a moat.
Although it is impossible to build a bridge, the most primitive means can be used to reach the opposite shore, that is, light-speed aerospace technology. The scientist who proposed this method is the first initiator of the "Spark Project." Only at the time, most scientists did not approve of the use of this primitive method.
Quite simply, it takes at least 10,000 years to reach the nearest southern Alpha galaxy even at the speed of light. From the end of the First Era to the end of the Second Era, it only took a total of 5,000 years for humans to survey and survey the entire Milky Way galaxy. Development. If a similar civilization exists in the Southern Alpha Galaxy, 10,000 years will be enough for it to control all star systems. When the human expedition spacecraft arrives in the Southern Alpha Galaxy after 10,000 years of arduous flight, it will face a powerful civilization. Obviously, even if humans have more advanced technology, it is impossible to use technology 10,000 years ago to defeat the civilization that ruled the Southern Alpha Galaxy.
At that time, the most concerned was the "God Show Plan", or to be precise, the "God Show Plan" after the second revision.
At the beginning, the "Shenshe Project" was the master plan of trans-star system aerospace technology. Strictly speaking, the "Spark Project" was also a branch of the "Shenshe Project". After all, in the stage of theoretical exploration, no matter whether it works or not, as long as someone proposes it and proves that it works in theory, it will be valued, become a research direction, and get the resources needed to continue research. After the first revision, the focus of the "God Show Project" was on the energy source for space jumps, that is, to find a sufficiently powerful energy source to support its cross-stellar system space channel, and to exist stably for a long enough time. Allow the spacecraft to pass smoothly. However, as the research progressed, this road was soon blocked, because in theory, the energy required to maintain the stable existence of the cross-stellar system space channel for a long enough time exceeds the formation of the Milky Way and the stable existence of the Milky Way. The sum of the original energy. In other words, even if all the original energies in the Milky Way are used, it is absolutely impossible for the spacecraft to reach the neighboring star system.
It was against this background that the "God Show Project" was revised for the second time.
This time, the focus is on space compression technology.
To put it simply, if the space between the star systems can be compressed, to be precise, the space between the star systems can be distorted, then the internal size of the space channel can be effectively shortened, and the time for passing through the space channel can be reduced, thereby compressing the space. The time the channel exists.
In theory, this method is definitely feasible and more feasible.
However, its technical difficulty far exceeds any theory put forward before.
The key is how to distort the space between star systems
You know, the only thing that can cause space distortion is mass, and only large-mass celestial bodies can significantly distort the nearby space and meet the minimum requirements for opening space channels. In the vast space between star systems, there are no massive celestial bodies at all, or even celestial bodies worth using. There are only some extremely low-density particles, as well as various rays and electromagnetic waves with no mass at all.
It can be said that if this problem cannot be solved, then this set of theories is just a theory.
It's just that human ingenuity is shown at this time.
Soon after the theory was put forward, a human scientist proposed a solution technology, which was also verified in the laboratory, that is, "mass transfer technology." The core of this technology is actually still a space channel, but it is not a spacecraft that is used to transmit it, but a massive object. To put it simply, it is to transfer a massive object to a target point through a space channel that is opened in advance and only exists in a very short time, which causes the target point to be spaced distorted. Although the existence time is very short, it is enough to open a larger space channel and allow the spacecraft to reach the target point at the speed of light. Because the space distortion caused by massive objects will disappear as the advancing space channel is closed, the spanning distance of the main space channel that is subsequently opened must be strictly limited. Of course, this is not the main problem, as long as the forward channel is continuously opened, the main space channel can be continuously opened through the space distortion generated by it, so as to realize the navigation across the star system. The real problem is the restriction imposed by the size of the advance space channel on the massive objects. Simply put, this object must have a sufficiently large mass, but its size must be sufficiently small.
After in-depth research, human scientists discovered that the only massive object that meets the requirements is a black hole.
If this is the case, there is not much problem, because there are many black holes in the Milky Way, and with the technology mastered by human scientists, it is not a trouble to transfer an ordinary black hole, at least there are no obstacles that cannot be crossed. All it takes is time and enough. Investment.
The problem is, this is not the whole problem.
After conducting an experiment for the purpose of theoretical research, human scientists discovered a new phenomenon, and it was an insurmountable obstacle. That is, the black hole will die out quickly when it leaves the star system and is in the space between the star systems. Subsequently, this phenomenon was theoretically explained, that is, in a completely extended space, the original energy density is too low, and the black hole itself is the original energy-rich product, so when in a low-density environment, the black hole is huge. Mass will be transformed into primal energy to fill the surrounding primal energy vacuum. In fact, this process has been going on all the time, just because the space inside the star system is highly distorted and the original energy density is not low, so the dissipation rate of the black hole is very slow. In the space between star systems, because there is almost no original energy, the black hole will dissipate at an alarming rate. More importantly, the speed of dissipation has nothing to do with the mass of the black hole, because the larger the mass of the black hole, the higher the original energy accumulation, and the faster the dissipation speed. Therefore, the time from dissipation to extinction is related to the mass of the black hole. There is no direct relationship.
How long is this time
According to the theoretical calculation result, it is between tens of milliseconds to hundreds of milliseconds.
Obviously, it's too short.
Even if the spacecraft enters the space channel at the speed of light and flies at the speed of light, the compression rate reaches 10,000 times, which is the limit level at that time, the distance that the spacecraft can fly through the space channel is only a few hundred to a few thousand light seconds, and it crosses The number of space jumps required for 10,000 light-years is astronomical.
This barrier is called a "dissipative trap" by human scientists.
However, human scientists did not give up on this.
In order to overcome the obstacles constituted by the "dissipative trap", human scientists can say that they do everything they can, not only using a lot of resources, but also a lot of manpower. It was not until the last few hundred years of the Second Era that, with the "instantaneous jump" theory, a critical breakthrough was made.
The "instantaneous jump" theory is not complicated. The key is only one point, that is, to open multiple space channels that have been set in a very short time, and greatly reduce the internal size of the space channels through a high degree of compression. Achieve the purpose of navigating across the star system in a short time. The core of the theory is still "mass transfer technology", but multiple black holes have to be transferred at almost the same time.
Strictly speaking, "instantaneous jump" is not a theory at all, but an innovation in technical means.
Because there is no theoretical breakthrough, the technical difficulty of realizing "instant jump" is more difficult, and the requirements on all aspects are also higher.
The most important thing is that multiple black holes need to be transferred at the same time, and they are black holes with large enough mass to produce large enough space distortions to ensure that the internal dimensions of the opened space channels are small enough to allow the spacecraft to pass through space in a limited time. aisle.
In fact, this is also the root cause of the disaster.
Quite simply, there is only one black hole that meets the conditions, that is, the central black hole of the Milky Way.
Although after that, human scientists have made many technological innovations to reduce the difficulty of achieving "instant jump", but due to theoretical limitations, these technological innovations have not been able to solve the most critical problem, that is, the realization of "instant jump". "Jumping" must use the central black hole of the Milky Way.
After hundreds of years of research and various related technologies have been resolved, the Human Science Committee finally passed a resolution to initiate the "instant treaty". As for the final result, it is not a secret at all, that is, the "disaster of the world" that led to the complete destruction of the galaxy.
