Start a Subspace

However, no matter how small a spaceship is, it is still a spaceship. Energy sources, engines, and corresponding computers are indispensable. With the current productivity of human beings, it is difficult to quickly manufacture these things in large quantities. Mass production.

The cost is not much, an engine, about 0.1 of the creation energy, are all loose parts, and then let the workers assemble.

But after the number goes up, it still takes a lot of creation energy.

In addition, there is also the "Flying Sparrow" class drone. As a drone, it doesn't even need a life support system.

Each "Flying Sparrow" can carry a hydrogen bomb. As long as it can hit the target, even if it never returns, it will not feel bad if it is shot down by the enemy.

...

"Each spacecraft needs fuel. A flight of a Haiyan-class spacecraft needs to consume 20 tons of chemical fuel."

"The weight of the fuel is higher than the spacecraft itself. And these substances are not recyclable."

"It means that our oil reserves have to be used to make chemical fuels."

"Wars are about resources and technology... Now our resources are not enough."

"In terms of technology... it can barely be regarded as an interstellar civilization, at least there are still nuclear fission engines. Most of the spaceships are chemical energy spaceships."

"The first batch of reconnaissance drones have been released, and they will soon arrive in the Wave Valley area, where they can detect more information."

"I hope the opponent's intelligence level is relatively low. If the void amoeba's intelligence is high, then this battle is really difficult to fight."

"The design of the hydrogen bomb... is not a problem."

Humans are still too weak, too poor...

After Zhang Ran held a combat meeting, he came to the East Laboratory a little tired.

No matter how I think about it, I feel that all the current battle plans are not very reliable.

He is like a bearing in a machine, which cannot be stopped for a moment.

When I came to the East Laboratory, I looked at the huge tokamak device in front of me.

The project of controllable nuclear fusion is still advancing steadily. At present, it can discharge stably for 4000 seconds, which is not far from real commercial use.

A small number of elite scientists such as Lin Qiuyue had to be drawn out to participate in the design of high-yield hydrogen bombs. It is best to make these hydrogen bombs smaller.

After all, they are the people who know the most about nuclear reactions in the whole world.

"Don't worry, we will get you a nuclear bomb with a million-ton equivalent soon. It's not too difficult. We humans produced Ivan the Big Seventy or Eighty years ago. Scientists at that time didn't even have supercomputers. , don’t underestimate us.”

"It shouldn't take a month. Not only can we reproduce the big Ivan, but we can also improve it so that it has a larger equivalent but a smaller quality."

Lin Qiuyue already looked like a strong man.

She said one month, but actually... only half a month.

The rapid development of nuclear fusion engineering has brought her full confidence. After all, she is an all-round scientist, and she has a huge advantage that other people can't match in terms of interdisciplinary.

But what troubled Zhang Ran was that every time he visited Sister Qiuyue, the conscientious No. 1 worker always looked haggard and exhausted...

It's really hard to know what to say.

But in recent days, he himself has been haggard and worried about the war.

"It's not that I don't believe in your scientific research strength...but I'm worried that nuclear bombs won't work."

Zhang Ran sighed: "There are too many variables in war. What we have to fight against is an enemy that can move with curvature."

"It's like shooting a plane with a bow and arrow. Does a sharp bow and arrow make sense?"

Lin Qiuyue shook her head: "Don't worry too much, it is probably an alien life form that jumped out of another universe."

"In another universe, perhaps the laws of physics are different. It is very common to use the uneven curvature of space to move. There may be many such creatures."

"Our nukes, even just atomic bombs, can obviously hurt it."

While Lin Qiuyue was exhausted, she was also faintly excited.

As an excellent scientist, it is very natural to be curious about unknown life forms.

Of course, this kind of excitement has a lot to do with the loud debate between "physics" and "biology" in her mind.

Especially the "creature", wanting to dissect the "Void Amoeba", it has been idle for a long time, and now it is completely useless to study nuclear fusion engineering.

"Hey, let's hope, I hope everything will go in a good way..."

For some reason, Zhang Ran always had a sense of urgency in his heart.

He wasn't dazzled by the flames of revenge, but... he was very worried that the "Void Amoeba" would reproduce!

This is also the focus of discussion in these combat meetings.

In the painting of the painter Erwin, the "spider" has a big belly, which is so big that it is against common sense... Although it was his painting eight years ago.

After Erwin woke up from the hospital, he couldn't explain why he drew the spider's belly so big.

[It is a kind of inspiration in the dark, which is equivalent to intuition, which tells me that I should draw like this. 】

That's how Erwin replied.

【intuition】!

The only possibility is to reproduce.

Thinking of the appearance of hundreds of these things makes one's scalp tingle!

"If it can really reproduce, it means it is a kind of life, not some alien spacecraft, and the probability of it having high intelligence is also smaller."

"Our productivity is limited. Even though a large number of industrial factories are working overtime, the people are working hard, and everyone is preparing for revenge, but...some things cannot be changed with subjective will."

Lin Qiuyue also agreed: "Weakness is the original sin...so let us quickly become stronger! The nuclear fusion project can barely be used in a year or so if it is fast, and it will take two or three years if it is slow. Then I will help you overcome it." More difficulties. As long as we live, there is hope."

Zhang Ran sighed. Although Qiuyue spends money like water, she has to spend one billion or even tens of billions a month. She is the most difficult girl in the world to raise.

In comparison, the stupid zero earns 5,000 yuan a month; the upside-down Sakurai earns 4,000 yuan a month and works 16 hours a day, which is very easy to support!

Of course, he wanted more Lin Qiuyue now. After all, it was hard to raise, and the results were real. The funds spent are not for herself, but for the future of all mankind.

Seeing that there are no other people in the room except Zero, he whispered: "Qiuyue, I still... still have a lot of creative energy."

"The creation ability of creation energy is directly proportional to the development of civilization. As long as we survive this hurdle, nuclear fusion will be more valuable in the future."

"But this level, we have to get through it! If we can't get through it, the creation energy in my hands can't save human beings."

"Do you think I should put it all in at once, or leave some...for future scientific research and industry?"

The investment in war is a bottomless pit, no amount of creation energy is enough. Zhang Ran was worried that if he didn't put in enough energy and didn't win, it would be a disaster.

Lin Qiuyue was stunned for a moment, and then took a deep breath, her haggard expression suddenly cheered up.

Even Zero, who was secretly listening, couldn't help pricking up her ears. She really wanted to know His Highness's ultimate secret... How much creative energy there is is still a mystery.

The parallel thinking in Lin Qiuyue's mind kept discussing.

"Your Highness seems to have a lot of money... If the amount is enough, we seem to be able to win this battle..."

"I don't think there may be many...otherwise he wouldn't be so hesitant."

"Oh, it would be great if we could win."

Lin Qiuyue thought for a while, and ignored the voice in her head. She said softly: "Your Highness, you cannot tell me the amount of your creation energy. This is your personal privacy. Your current status is detached, and it depends to a certain extent on your emptiness. ability to create."

"It's the power base that you have over others ... yes, it matters. It matters."

"Of course, I'm not denying your prestige. Even if you don't have the ability to create objects in the void, your current folk reputation is already high enough."

"But if there is no way to create a void at all, the people's self-confidence will definitely decrease..."

"Even if you occasionally create a supercomputer, even a ton of steel, this ability cannot be completely exhausted. Never exhaust it, this is what you must do."

Lin Qiuyue thought for a while: "As for the war... In fact, our biggest hole card is the 1.2 trillion-ton meteorite. Its huge kinetic energy is equal to the energy released by 2.1 billion billion-ton equivalent hydrogen bombs. This order of magnitude is ours. A number that is unattainable by humans. Even with the ability of creation in the void, it is impossible to create so many hydrogen bombs, right?"

Zhang Ran shook his head. It is indeed impossible for him to build 2.1 million hydrogen bombs.

"So, you only need to spend 56 creation energy to open a huge space door, throw the meteorite out again, hit that monster, and we have a high probability of winning. If this can't kill it, our human weapons won't be able to kill it. Might have wiped it out."

"Of course, you need to take a huge risk yourself."

This battle plan is also the plan that has been studied in the past few meetings, the plan with the highest reliability, the highest success rate, and the fastest combat speed!

What billion-ton hydrogen bombs, billion-ton hydrogen bombs are nothing compared to the powerful kinetic energy of meteorites!

But the degree of difficulty is also very high. It is necessary for the supreme leader of the Great Xia Kingdom, the master of the subspace, to open the space door at close range!

up close!

...

There are many restrictions on opening the space door. The first is that macroscopic matter is needed as a medium.

This can be regarded as a much-discussed issue. Macroscopic substances must be ring-shaped and cannot be disconnected in the middle.

The second is the need for physical touch, not to say that the space door can be opened from a distance with the mind.

In addition, the speed of the meteorite is 38 km/s, which seems to be very fast, but it is pitifully slow compared to the Void Amoeba, which moves at 200 km/s, or even 500 km/s.

It's like the target is an airplane with a flying speed of 100 m/s, but the stone thrown is only 10 m/s. It is impossible for normal attack methods to hit it.

Only when they are very close can they suddenly open the space door, throw meteorites, and smash the opponent to death before it reacts.

The human spaceship has a maximum speed of only 100 km/s.

Therefore, the flagellum of the void amoeba can easily capture the human spaceship.

How can it get close?

This is a big question.

"I also know that meteorites are very powerful, but it's even more impossible to hit the target." Zhang Ran couldn't help shaking his head, "Meteorites are slower than hydrogen bombs..."

Lin Qiuyue showed a faint smile, "Then I need your brains to come up with suggestions."

"I think, two or three hundred, if we invest two or three hundred creation energy, we may win this battle. It takes more than fifty energy to open the space door, and more than two hundred to make various spaceships and so on. "

"Of course the most important thing is the battle plan. I will help you get out the hydrogen bomb soon, but for a better battle plan, you still have to ask your staff."

"Okay, hey... you rest more, eat more, it's better to be fatter, it's better to be fatter."

...

Looking at the backs of Zhang Ran and Ling Liai, Lin Qiuyue once again devoted herself to the intense work.

"Are you fat?"

A large number of equations appeared on the screen, as well as several papers, all of which were past hydrogen bomb design materials. Due to the existence of parallel thinking, she can read two papers at a time... I have to admit that the number of eyes limits her learning ability.

As the design drawings continued to be completed, a barely satisfied smile appeared on his face.

It is not a sense of accomplishment, after all, it is a subject that predecessors did not use supercomputing to solve, but it is a good choice to share some worries.

After several meetings, Lin Qiuyue also realized the current poverty of human beings.

The Kunlun Mountain society's finances are almost betting on nuclear fusion. The nuclear fusion project is the only future, which caused some pressure in her heart.

...

Kunlun Mountain, Shelter No. 1.

In Daxia No. 1 Manufacturing Center, a large number of workers are busy.

The manufacture of drones, the production of missiles, the manufacturing speed of the Haiyan shuttle, etc., are all gathered in this office to facilitate various discussions at the decision-making level.

If it is said to be the first, then it is the real first. There are as many as 60 eight-level fitters alone, and the most top-notch machines can be produced here.

"Your Highness, the manufacture of the Haiyan shuttle machine lacks a batch of superalloy materials...the shortage is not much, about 2 tons!"

"Understood, send them there soon!"

"The dismantling of the atomic bomb has completed 40% of the amount, and the nuclear material has been successfully taken out. Now we are waiting for the hydrogen bomb manufacturing plan from the Eastern Laboratory."

"Well, she said that it will be finished within a month...but based on what I know about her, half a month may be enough."

"Is Your Highness so confident in her?" Sakurai trotted around the office holding a thick stack of documents.

"Qiuyue is already a strong person." Zhang Ran sighed.

These days, everyone is really busy.

Zhang Ran's Void Creation ability is very strong, but he can't use it casually, and needs strict review.

Although Sakurai is not as versatile as Lin Qiuyue, she is diligent and studious, and she handles these trivial matters very well.

And the most important thing is that her physical fitness is extremely strong, she can run at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, she works 18 hours a day, and the number of steps she walks every day is comparable to a marathon.

"I went over there to check."

...

So it was like this, time passed slowly, two weeks passed again, and various preparations continued to be enriched.

On this day, an important breakthrough was made in the investigative work.

"Your Highness, there is news from the front line!" Major Guo Weiqiang hurried over from the corridor, his face a little anxious, "We have made a big discovery!"

"How to say?" Zhang Ran's expression changed.

"Please come to the big conference room."

Standing up and walking in a hurry, hundreds of experts gathered in the large conference room, discussing something softly.

When they saw Zhang Ran, they didn't salute or anything, they just nodded in greeting.

After all, this is what Zhang Ran has emphasized. It is too troublesome to salute every time we meet, so we can save it, just say hello and nod.

Before the Ark spacecraft escaped from the "Valley of Waves" area, it dropped a lot of unmanned detection instruments.

In fact, the detection performance of these detection instruments is very poor.

In the dim starry sky, the number of photons is too rare, and there are cosmic rays in the space, and the main detection method of human beings is electromagnetic waves, causing most detection instruments to be in a state of blindness.

Either only very expensive instruments can automate the work.

This is also the main reason for sending the Yuyan scientific research spacecraft at the beginning. People must have high-power light-emitting devices and advanced detection instruments in order to gain a better insight into this starry sky.

Guo Weiqiang clicked on the report on the screen: "We have launched a total of 171 unmanned detectors. These detectors have relatively poor performance and can only transmit some simple information."

"In the past week, 42 ​​were destroyed by void amoebas."

"Among them, 26 of the 31 detectors loaded with living things were destroyed!"

After hearing this key message, everyone gasped.

Zhang Ran frowned slightly, 26 of the 31 that carried life were destroyed, this ratio is really too big!

Because the distribution of these unmanned probes is very sparse, they may be separated by millions of kilometers from each other. Just like in a vast ocean, some mosquitoes were placed, and as a result, these mosquitoes were accurately captured.

"A total of 49 detectors that emitted strong light were destroyed, and 6 were destroyed."

"Probes emitting a large amount of heat energy, a total of 31, 5 were destroyed."

"The remaining detectors had no strong light, no heat emitted, and only one was destroyed."

"Thus, we can conclude that the void amoeba is more malicious to life, and has a whole set of unknown detection methods, which can accurately capture life..."

"At the same time, it can distinguish light and heat, but its sensitivity to light and heat is far less than that of life. It will attack life first."

This piece of information is simply shocking!

Zhang Ran took a deep breath and analyzed the data on the screen.

There are all kinds of life in the unmanned detectors, including mice, birds, reptiles, etc., 26 of the 31 detectors were destroyed, this ratio is seriously abnormal!

The remaining 5 survivors are all kinds of lower organisms, such as bacteria, plants and so on.

Then survived until now.

That is, it is not sensitive to bacteria and plants.

"It can detect life forms tens of millions of kilometers away, and then travel long distances to destroy that detector?" A professor said incredulously, "Tens of millions of kilometers?"

"Although it sounds strange, it is indeed the case." Guo Weiqiang spread his hands and said, "Our investigation department was also shocked when we got the news."
