Chapter 360 Breeding and Interstellar Propulsion Technology
In the blink of an eye, time came to the year 427 of the Rune Calendar, and 4 years had passed since Nesta broke through;
All the existing high-level spellcasters here have entered a state of seclusion, and Nesta, after completing the gene cracking work, recently completed the cultivation of integrated organs and distributed them, and then started non-stop
Modification of banked germ cells.
But no matter what, everything is unfolding in an orderly manner. Even if there are as many reproductive cells in stock as the sea, there will always be a day when it will be completed due to Nesta's size and speed.
Then, new problems will appear, or have already appeared
Under the new gene, the elf will start from a small fertilized egg and run rampant, and eventually develop to a natural size of one million tons. The resource supply requirements during this period cannot be ignored.
After calculating the scale of supply, the ruling government decided to adopt more scientific breeding methods to cultivate meat including volcanic salamanders, and to expand production capacity as much as possible in terms of source abundance and speed.
First, they selected the strongest batch of various warcraft as breeding animals, and created a controlled breeding environment on the two modified stars above their heads;
Later, scholars compiled a series of magical formations related to fertility and breeding, including domestication, control, aphrodisiac, labor induction, nurturing, etc., and gave them to various sects and city-state forces in different categories, so that they could at least master them.
Several breeding techniques for different strains of Warcraft;
The special ecosystems on the two stars that had undergone targeted rectifications were gradually handed over to them during the Houlu period, so that they could become professional farmers of the Republic and produce more food for the elves.
There may not be a simpler way, it’s just that the ruling government didn’t choose to do it.
At least, the industrial production technology of genetically modified synthetic meat is already available and mature, but in the end it was decided to leave related production matters to sects and city-state forces.
Reasons such as taste, time consumption, and level of trouble only account for a small part of the reasons for selection. The more important consideration is to increase the actual use of the vassal forces to the Republic, allowing them to have more production types, jobs, and
business choices, thereby making the social system healthier and more stable.
From the preparation of divine spells, to breeding selection, and then to the transformation of the park, and after that, there are also matters such as the migration of breeding targets and the construction of supporting Shen’en factories, so it will take a certain amount of time for the entire system to be finally perfected;
Therefore, preparatory work in this area is still in progress and is expected to continue for about several years.

On the other hand, even though fusion is about to replace fission as the main source of energy, the demand for super-heavy metals and heavy metals is increasing instead of decreasing, and the reason is naturally due to the growth trend that is coming and will continue.
There are actually many such resources in the mantle and core of the parent star. A lot of them have been collected from the inner ring belt that was swept away and the outer ring belt that is being swept away. Moreover, the mother star system is considered a "Jedi" for the elves.
There are very few areas. Except for a few areas such as the core of stars, most places are in a state of being free to pick and choose;
Even the most ferocious four-orbit star has obediently lifted off its thick and surging outer atmosphere at this time, revealing the metal ocean under the super-heavy pressure inside.
Therefore, in the short term, the existing resources within the parent star and parent star system alone are enough to support its development for a considerable period of time.
But elves with long lifespans are not a species that only looks at the 'short term', and their desire to explore the vast starry sky has been unbearable long before, let alone have a new excuse now?
As a result, the mining and colonization plan for the Proxima Centauri star system was truly launched, and the research and development of faster voyage technology had long been written into the experimental plan, and several technical route considerations based on different starting points were generated.
Nesta's clone had already visited the entire research and development system earlier, and the interstellar engine was naturally one of his key inspection projects. Besides visiting, he also personally participated in it, spreading the benefits of his breakthroughs.
go out.
Generally speaking, the Republic's current interstellar engine research and development has several directions.
First of all, it is the most traditional and most diverse working fluid propulsion. Chemical fuel propulsion and ion propulsion are the representatives of this category;
Among them, the former has been basically eliminated, and now it is more of an ancillary project of chemical research;
The latter, after the introduction of fusion energy, fusion-auxiliary charged products, magnetically confined particle accelerating jet engines and other supporting assistance, has shown a rather limited second spring;
After Nesta joined, it compressed the volume to a certain extent and achieved a theoretical sailing speed of 0.15 times that of light, which requires a long acceleration period and huge energy investment, at least in terms of 'cheating' mass acquisition.
There is no doubt that the means of mechanism have failed to produce a 'qualitative change' at the moment.
Therefore, whether in the past or today when fusion products are used as working fluids, this kind of thruster can only exist as an auxiliary driver for light sails during long-distance voyages across star systems, and can provide some limited trajectory adjustment.
It has functions such as extending the high-speed travel period.
Secondly, it is the light sail propulsion technology that has the widest range of applications and is relatively mature;
Due to a series of problems such as the light pressure being too small and the mass of the quasar fortress being too large, the light sail system does not rely on pure stellar natural light or laser beams to propel the spacecraft forward;
The laser beam used in the process will first complete an additional superposition of the concept of faith, at the expense of reducing its absolute speed and adding stronger pressure to it;
While offsetting part of its own mass, the terminal spacecraft also needs to regenerate into a wide-area photosensitive field based on hedging beliefs, and then receive the force endowed with concepts such as holy light, and use the opposition between the two parties given by the subjective consciousness of living beings to
realize advancement;
In order to utilize them most efficiently, the Republic has also deployed a large number of holy laser generators in various areas within the parent star system, from the inside to the outside, from dense to sparse;
In addition, there are several "lost spaceships" in the neighboring star system, which have also been transformed by the projections into the holy laser generating end. Presumably, when the spacecraft carrying immigrants and flesh and blood metal arrive, an effective formation has been formed there.
Passage to and fro.
The progress made this time in energy, intelligence, and inscription techniques has also promoted the propulsion of the light sail in three aspects, and has increased it from the original upper limit of 0.55 times the speed of light to 0.58 times again.
Around the level.
Although the difference does not seem to be much, 'light' is, after all, the most extreme speed base in the universe except for imagination and thoughts. Therefore, when it is expanded to kilometers or ten thousand meters per second to measure, you can find that this is enough.
Obvious progress.
However, after the light sail propulsion takes effect, it can only travel on a fixed route, which is not enough to deal with various accidents that may occur when traveling across star systems. Therefore, the spacecraft must have a built-in engine system for adjustment;
This is how we have the combination of fusion reactor and magnetic confinement particle accelerator, and the particle jet engine that can only be accommodated by the quasar fortress. Their combination is what was previously called the 'auxiliary engine', which will use the accelerated jet.
The charged fusion products produced are used to generate thrust, which in turn plays a role in fine-tuning the flight path.

Thirdly, it is the ‘time and space transfer’ technology that was born out of the Faith Tunnel, and the ‘sublight speed navigation’ technology that was born out of the life force field, and the prerequisites for the two are roughly similar;
The former requires converting real matter into 'virtual particles' that carry thoughts, and virtual particles can travel through the corridor of belief, thus forming a phenomenon of 'transition through time and space', which only needs to be transformed into a material form again after arriving at the destination.
Just do it;
The latter requires converting matter into electromagnetic and light states to achieve the purpose of traveling at the speed of light or sublight.
For now, scholars will not deny the effectiveness of these two methods.
Because in reality, there are warriors who have completed the extremely limited electromagnetic transformation, photochemical transformation, gas transformation, and even gravitational field transformation of themselves, and there are also warlocks who have completed the same extremely limited ideological transformation, and have possessed the transformation parts.
The corresponding natural and conceptual properties.
Even if the degree of transformation is less than one billionth of the total mass of the body, the ‘two-state nature’ displayed by this part alone is enough to prove the feasibility of the direction;
And from this, by extending this transformation to inanimate objects, and extending it to the state granting achieved through the inscription array, it may be possible to transform an entire quasar fortress, along with the personnel within it;
Then either insert it into the Corridor of Faith to complete the time-space transfer, or extend the state duration as much as possible to achieve overall sub-light speed, or even the ability to sail at the speed of light that is not yet known whether it can be achieved.
But when you think about it, you know that this is a path that is difficult to reach the end. In the process, in addition to letting the warriors and warlocks rely on the life force field to grind out the results, they can only wait for the spellcasters headed by Nesta.
, can continue to overcome obstacles in the microscopic realm. Perhaps when their 'self' penetrates into the more microscopic world, the current situation may be different.

Either there is some kind of hard defect, or there are convenience restrictions at the application level, or it is too far away from implementation. In short, the above-mentioned technologies are all inappropriate in one way or another;
Although the direction mentioned in the end cannot be called perfect, it has gradually begun to exude its unique brilliance after long-term research.
When Nesta and Azshara broke away from their home star for the first time and flew to low-Earth orbit, the latter had observed the essence of the anti-gravity effect in the inner field of view, that is, a huge gathering place of matter strings.
'The anchoring effect on the casting target;
And at the same time, she sensed the "fragility" of the space in her inner vision due to the strange arrival method of the spell's effect.
From today's perspective, this so-called "grand gathering place of matter strings" undoubtedly refers to the constituent units of the universe such as stars, galaxies, and even river systems;
The "fragile feeling" it creates on the space comes from the multi-directional gravitational effect being seduced for no reason and acting on the target of the spell, causing distortion to the space along the way.
Therefore, after many years of observing internal disturbances of this type of magic, the now popular 'anti-gravity surface aircraft' was born as a matter of course.
Now, we want to further extend its application scenarios to interstellar navigation, and there are two kinds of ideas that arise from this.
First, the progress is fast and the difficulty of implementation is relatively low. It is an upgraded version of the anti-gravity surface aircraft, that is, a space gravitational field towing aircraft;
This technology has already made certain breakthroughs and has been widely used in the process of the spacecraft entering orbit. It can also play the role of a 'traction beacon' during long voyages, which can effectively guide the direction of the spacecraft;
What is being carried out now is research aimed at capturing, amplifying, canceling, and shielding the gravitational field of stars and even river systems acting on the spacecraft, thereby creating an ultra-long-distance directional traction effect.
It is envisaged that this will be applied to star system routes and has high flexibility. The difficulty lies in amplifying the traction effect of multiple gravitational fields on the spacecraft at the same time, and capturing and transforming new fields in real time along the way;
And in this process, we have to deal with those very significant ultra-close pulling forces at any time, especially those stars in the same inertial system.
For example, when sailing into outer space, the sun is the biggest offset object for the spacecraft.
At this stage, the research team has successfully captured and limitedly amplified the gravitational effects of Proxima 5-1 (neutron star) and Proxima 5-2 (main sequence star) on the experimental spacecraft, and at the same time limited the pull of the sun on the spacecraft.
', thereby initially achieving a working-material-free navigation similar to the advancement of a slide rail;
Moreover, scholars have summarized the relevant formulas and integrated the preliminary brain control program accordingly, taking factors such as the mass of the traction source, the distance between the target, and the mass of the target into consideration when selecting the terminal;
The next step is to capture and amplify more than ten gravitational sources at the same time, so that other stars in the same direction as the Piling 5 double star in space can also become a boost, and realize rapid switching of traction source selection during navigation;
The next step is to capture and amplify the gravitational fields of more distant massive neutron stars and black holes, and it is expected that attempts will be made to integrate the traction force at the galaxy level, so that those neutron stars, black holes, galaxies, and even more
A river system can simultaneously act as a traction force for a spacecraft;
