Chapter 66 Lifeline
The flagship command room is divided into two floors, the first floor is large, and the departments in charge of the warship have all marked areas below, and the information from each department is constantly summarized and transmitted to the podium. The second floor is relatively small, and all are the center of the flagship's command platform, which is where General Cheng Didong works.
Cheng Didong took Han Zhen to visit the entire warship, while his mother and Zhao Kaiyuan went to the room provided by Cheng Didong to rest.
"Korean scholars, our fleet sailed along this channel for ten days and could enter the teleportation position of the Yanhuang Star in the space channel. After entering from here, all personnel entered the dormant period. After 54 days, they arrived at the teleportation point on the other side of the earth. I heard that the Korean scholar was born in the Earth channel when he was transferred to the Yanhuang Star, and after a few days of dormant, he had 56 days of suffering. It can be said that you should be the user of the youngest space channel. Maybe the national record is also written by your name?" The space channel that contacts the Earth and Yanhuang Star, people in China call it the lifeline of China. The exchange and development of the two places depend entirely on it. If it were gone, the country really didn't know what it would be like.
Han Zhen smiled. It was really possible. It was not that there was no situation like me. But all the babies died. I was lucky, but it was definitely not a good thing to be on the verge of death for more than ten years! "General Cheng was joking. I was also a tough guy back then. By the way, don't call me a scholar. In fact, I am just a college student who has just graduated (Han Zhen brought great honors to his alma mater. Of course, I can get the diploma in advance. The title of honorary lecturer of Agricultural University was also the title of honorary lecturer of Agricultural University. I was too young and could not even hang up one. After Han Zhen got it, he threw it into the trash can.) Then I called Xiao Han, so I felt comfortable listening."
"Han Xue... Haha, okay, Xiao Han, I, old Cheng, I am shameless." Han Zhen was a little curious when he saw the general for the first time. In addition, he had to operate whether he could reach the earth smoothly this time. Of course, he had to make friends deliberately. Cheng Didong didn't dare to underestimate Han Zhen. A person who could bring a huge sensation in the agricultural industry was definitely not a simple character, although he was so young. For a moment, the atmosphere was very good.
"General Cheng, can you tell me about this lifeline of our country? You often run back and forth, so you must have a better understanding." The space channel has been established for hundreds of years, but until now, China is still unable to build a similar one on its own! The conditions required to upgrade the level of civilization from level one to level two are one of the important signs of being able to build a space channel that lasts five light years. Han Zhen's understanding of the space channel is still in some superficial knowledge online, and of course, it is not as much known to Cheng Didong as the people who have been in contact with it all year round.
"The lifeline of China has been more than 500 years, and is still as important as 500 years ago. The lifeline can be maintained until now, and it is guaranteed by Tiandun every ten years. To be honest, our efforts are too great for this lifeline. The maintenance cost per decade is definitely astronomical, but no matter how expensive it is, we can only accept it, because we cannot do without it. Who makes us not understand this technology and do not have the minerals required for maintenance? We can only exchange it for a high price for Tiandun." Cheng Didong said this lifeline, and he looked annoyed. The means of exploiting low-level civilizations by superior civilizations can be said to be bloody, and the methods are endless, and you can force you to come to ask him for it yourself!
Han Zhen knew more than ordinary people and nodded solemnly. The foreign exchange that he only obtained after selling grain and minerals every year has to be used to pay off most of the debts, which is a very heavy burden for the country. It is not easy to improve civilization under such circumstances!
"General Cheng, have you never thought of any solution for so many years? For example?" Han Zhenyi asked with some intent.
Cheng Didong understood Han Zhen's meaning and shook his head directly: "It's impossible. Every ten years of maintenance, Tiandun people operate independently and are not allowed to watch. If you want to buy this technology, the price is not a decimal, and you must trade it in their currency. You just want to buy it privately from other countries, such as the second-level Republic of Reynolds and the third-level Principality of Virda, etc. In this way, the price should be cheaper, but it doesn't work. In their eyes, we countries at the lowest level are raw materials supply sites and garbage dumping places. They all have agreements with each other. How to do it and how to do it, there is a standard.
, We don't know the specific content of this standard, but we still know the space channel. It was the first Tiandun that discovered the earth civilization. No other countries or individuals are allowed to intervene. Therefore, we really have no other way to imagine except to buy it. Of course, if we can find a civilized country higher than Tiandun to give it to us, it would be a different matter, but this can only be YY!" Unexpectedly, Cheng Didong's personality is not as majestic as his appearance, and he actually enjoys suffering and has a cold humor. Not to mention, a civilized country higher than Tiandun, has never heard of it in so many years.
"Actually, what if I bought the technology of this space channel? We don't have the minerals needed to build the channel, we don't have the machines needed, and we don't even have the spaceship that can run to a distance of five light years!"
"No? Didn't we buy a warship from the Tiandun Empire? It doesn't work either?" Han Zhen asked in confusion. A hundred years ago, during the Four Kingdoms War, in order to deal with the increasingly fierce enemy offensive, the whole country bought a warship in a tight manner, making great contributions to the country's resistance!
"Xiao Han, correct your mistake first. This is something that non-military middle-level personnel cannot know. But your situation is special. I will tell you! The warships purchased by our country are not one, but five one after another! In addition to the five warships, there are eight transport ships, all of which are big guys with a length of over kilometers! Unfortunately, my country only bought one hundred laser cannons, and that thing is more expensive than warships. These hundred laser cannons cost the price of three warships, and the energy blocks required for one hundred volleys can be filled with the entire warship after being converted into minerals! It's so fucking black! Later, we installed these hundred laser cannons on average on thirteen ships. It was because of these thirteen main ships as deterrence that we withstand the counterattack of the enemy."
Han Zhen was stunned. He didn't expect that there was such a big difference between what he knew and the facts. "Didn't it mean that our country can build large ships on its own? Those thirteen main ships were really all bought?"
"Of course, our country can only build four models of the Flash Arrow Ship," Cheng Didong stopped and rubbed his head and continued: "In fact, a large ship about 500 meters should have been built, but the quality is very poor. Our technology cannot make such a large hull run freely, which is far less convenient than the Flash Arrow Ship Four, and it also costs a lot more minerals and resources, which is really unpaid."
So that's it! Han Zhen recalled the alien ship he saw last year and compared it with the one he was riding on. The advantages and disadvantages were too obvious.
It’s not his turn to worry about the ship matter now. Han Zhen continued to ask: “Then, General Cheng, the thirteen main battleships cannot sail to a distance of five light years? Didn’t it mean that they can jump?”
"No!" Cheng Didong replied very simply, "The bastards of the Herman family who sold warships were extremely cunning. They took out all the things and sold them. The price of the space jump device was more expensive than the warships! It's expensive. Our predecessors wanted to buy one to use for research, but they didn't expect that the thing would also require a galaxy map - not a galaxy map seen with the naked eye. The thing was useless. It had to be a galaxy map strictly based on the star mark. This thing was even more expensive, and there were less than fifty jump points around the earth in the past ten light years. They opened a higher price than five warships. We couldn't afford it, and he didn't want to sell it. What's more damning is that they said that they did not guarantee that fifty points would be used. If something happened, they would bear all the consequences!"
The jump points of the space channel and the battleship are both wormholes, but one is fixed and the other is active. When the active jump points want to jump, they must calculate the place they want to reach and be sure to be correct before they can act. The more accurate the calculation value, the better. If there is a slight deviation, the ship will be destroyed and the person will die. If there is no jump point star to calculate, the jump will be directly opened. The survivor rate is also as difficult as finding the benign variant among billions of rice seedlings.
"What a fuck! The Herman family is really a beast family. You can think of such a bad move!" Han Zhen cursed, immediately attracting Cheng Didong's response.
Uncle Zhao told himself a few days ago that the people in the army were full of anger towards the Heman family in the Tiandun Empire, but this anger was not only unable to be vented, but also could not be revealed in person. If you want to have a good relationship with the soldiers, it is necessary to scold the Heman family's mother!
After scolding someone else's mother together, Cheng Didong became much more kind: "Xiao Han, in fact, they have only set up a short-distance passage for our country with the lowest level. Over the past few hundred years, our country's scientists have not been a good meal. At the beginning, it took a full half year to go from Yanhuang Star to the Earth. Now, it has been reduced to two and a half months.
, the time in the channel has been reduced to 54 days, which is already a great achievement. When one day we can enter from the point of Yanhuang Star and immediately come out from the point of the earth, it is time for us to truly master this technology!”
Space jumping technology, the current physics theory, has long believed that space is multidimensional. When it was still studying in three dimensions, people believed that two points in space could be lined into a plane, and then from one point to another was closest. This is the earliest understanding of space jumping.
Space is moving. Planets are moving, nebula is moving, galaxies, and the entire universe is moving! So, if you want to form an intersection of two moving points, you need wormholes. What are wormholes? Simply put, wormholes are thin space-time tubes connecting distant areas of the universe. They can connect two parallel spaces and provide the possibility of instantaneous transfer.
From point A to point B, when transmitting, you need to enter a medium space. This space can also be called a channel. This channel will connect with the face where point A has just been opened and the face where point B is to pass. It can also be understood as the docking between wormhole A and wormhole B.
Why does it take time? It is because the plane formed by the two wormholes is not thorough and the technology is not enough! It is necessary to spend a lot of time staying in the media space. In this media space, people cannot move, just like sleeping for a long time, but this sleep is just long enough.
