Homo sapiens

Just when Zheng Bai and others were busy building artificial earth No. [-].

The solar system's Homo sapiens corporate headquarters aren't idle either.

After more than [-] years of development, new humans have finally made a breakthrough in the manufacturing technology of double neutron materials.

Previously, Homo sapiens could only produce a few hundred kilograms of double-neutron materials a year. After adopting the new technology, the production capacity has increased by dozens of times, and the unit energy consumption has dropped by 55%.

At the same time, the production equipment has also been compressed from the previous scale of hundreds of kilometers to tens of kilometers.

As Homo sapiens' most important colony, the Giant Star Colonial Branch immediately received relevant technical information.

The Giant Star Colonial Branch moved very quickly. In less than half a month, 8 dual-neutron material manufacturing machines were transformed, which can produce about 8 tons of dual-neutron material per year.

The importance of double-neutron materials to Homo sapiens has far exceeded that of other materials.

No matter in the field of energy, military industry, resources in the field of engineering construction, or the field of propulsion, dual neutron materials have played an irreplaceable role.

Without dual-neutron materials, it would be difficult for Homo Sapiens' spacecraft to travel at speeds exceeding 3% of the speed of light.

Now the company's latest spacecraft, the limit speed has soared to 7.8% of the speed of light.

The core technology of the new spacecraft is the magnetic field offset shield made of dual neutron materials, the strong magnetic plasma thruster and the strong magnetic nuclear fusion power generation system.

Especially the magnetic field offset shield, which is too important for a spacecraft flying at super high speed.

Without this thing, as long as the speed of the spacecraft exceeds 2% of the speed of light, the head of the spacecraft will suffer irreparable damage.

During a test, Homo sapiens replaced the magnetic field shield of the experimental spacecraft with ordinary materials. The result was that after the spacecraft’s speed exceeded 2% of the speed of light, the head of the spacecraft collided with an asteroid a few centimeters in size. Then the head of the spacecraft was opened.

Asteroids with a diameter of a few centimeters are basically densely distributed in the entire interstellar space, although from a large spatial scale, the probability of a collision between a spacecraft and a tiny asteroid is not high.

However, when the speed of the spacecraft increases and the travel distance increases, small probability events will become inevitable events.

For example, in the previous Homo sapiens expeditionary fleet, almost all warships would collide with tiny asteroids during the voyage.

Without the super magnetic field deflection shield made of dual neutron materials, the head of the battleship would have been hit into a hornet's nest long ago.

Why can't the Six Claws develop a faster spaceship?
The answer is not only because the thruster technology is not good, but also because of the shield technology.

In the era of the earth, the collision between human planes and birds, which caused the accidents of planes, is such a truth.

Entering the cosmic era, the speed of the initial spacecraft did not exceed 20 kilometers per second, and the range of travel was not far, and the risk of colliding with tiny asteroids was very high.

Not to mention that the speed of the spacecraft reaches more than 2% of the speed of light. As long as there is a collision, the power of an asteroid a few centimeters in size is no less than a few hundred tons of TNT.

The largest asteroid hit by the expeditionary fleet had a diameter of about 12 meters, and the impact force was equivalent to several million tons of TNT.

Without super shield technology, this level of impact can directly smash the entire space battleship to pieces.

Why is the limit speed of the latest version of the Homo sapiens spacecraft stuck at 7.8% of the speed of light?

The reason is that when the speed of the spacecraft exceeds 8% of the speed of light, even the super magnetic field made of double neutron materials cannot 100% deflect the tiny asteroids along the way.

Moreover, as the speed of the spacecraft increases, an asteroid with a diameter of a few centimeters can produce a destructive force equivalent to hundreds of thousands of tons of TNT after impact. In addition, the impactor hits more, and it may instantly break down the magnetic field offset shield.

After all, with the propeller and power generation system mastered by Homo Sapiens at this stage, if continuous acceleration is adopted at any cost, as long as the acceleration time is long enough, the speed of the spacecraft can be increased to about 20% of the speed of light.

But the consequence of this is that the spaceship will become a pile of scrap metal halfway.

The safety of the spacecraft cannot be guaranteed. What is the use of such a speed?

This is like the speed of intercontinental ballistic missiles can reach Mach [-], which is much faster than civil aviation airliners. Why not transform intercontinental ballistic missiles into transport aircraft?

It was also because of this reason that the omnic civilization could not increase the speed of the spaceship.

As for the quasi-secondary civilization that defeated the omnic civilization, the speed of the spaceship can exceed 30% of the speed of light, which is evident in its strength.

Now the company's spacecraft research and development department is trying to develop a more powerful magnetic field offset shield, but the management, including Li Qingye, is very clear that the magnetic field of the double neutron material has reached its limit.

Unless a material with a stronger magnetic field than the double-neutron material can be developed, the limit speed of Homo sapiens' spacecraft will stop at 7.8% of the speed of light.

Materials are the foundation of technology.

As for the research and development ideas of new materials, in fact, Dr. Yuri and others who developed double-neutron materials back then have already had some ideas.

That is an upgraded version of the study of double-neutron materials, that is, the synthesis of neutron materials such as four-neutrons and six-neutrons.

It's a pity that the double-neutron material was also produced by mistake, and even a clear theory has not been fully understood.

As for how to synthesize other neutron materials, various neutron materials research institutes can only continue to experiment, hoping to synthesize new neutron materials.

But material science, really depends on luck.

Of course, in addition to luck, it is necessary to have a rich and powerful material foundation to make good materials. Without a large amount of resource investment, even luck is useless.

For example, double neutron materials, just a Mars equatorial ring particle collider, the resources it needs to consume is an astronomical figure.

In the free world that is still on the earth, even if it does not eat or drink for 100 years, it will not be able to produce this level of experimental equipment.

There is no experimental equipment, and it is impossible to develop a double-neutron material due to luck.

In the process of technological development, the threshold will become higher and higher as the technology becomes more advanced.

The gap between a first-level civilization and a zero-level civilization is a world of difference. Without special opportunities and the determination to unite, the probability of a zero-level civilization successfully advancing to a first-level civilization is only about 0.36%.

This data comes from the omnic civilization, which originally counted all the civilizations in the control area.

Finally, it is concluded that the probability of a zero-level civilization being promoted to a first-level civilization is only about 0.36%.

In other words, if the Homo sapiens company does not turn out, there is a high probability that human civilization will continue to linger at the zero-level civilization stage, and then encounter the six-clawed people who came from the starry sky hundreds of years later.
