I have to say, the magic of magic is simply like a plug-in.
If this spaceship had been obtained by the Federation in the previous life, with its level of technology, it would have taken decades to thoroughly study a new material and manufacture it on a large scale. However, for Lin En, who had mastered magic powers, he overcame the technical difficulties in just an hour.
This is due to the quantum-level observation and control capabilities of [Star God].
And judging from the difficulty, legendary wizards should be able to do it, but it’s not as easy as it is for me.
But anyway, they have mastered the method of making this special material, and if necessary, they can start mass production immediately!
With this achievement, Lynn, Harof and others began to further study the various facilities of the spacecraft. Relying on the cutting work of the [Antimatter Sword] and the analysis of the [Divine Art - Matter Deconstruction], after a few days they were able to barely understand the general structure of the entire spacecraft.
For example, there is a unique ring-shaped "decoration" on the top of the spacecraft. According to inspection, it is an energy generator used to make the protective energy shield of the spacecraft. For another example, when cutting open the protective shell on the side, they found a launch port with a unique structure inside, which may be the weapon system of this spacecraft...
As for the interior of the spacecraft, it can be roughly divided into an ecological circulation area, a storage area, a crew cabin, and a hall that looks like a control area, but there are no joysticks, projection screens, or the like as imagined by Harov and others.
This means that the other party has completed highly intelligent control and no longer needs buttons. However, Lin En has not found any trace of artificial intelligence in the past few days. Perhaps it has been damaged.
"What are these strips?" Vittorio pointed in amazement at the long, square, triangular and polygonal decorations placed on the ground in the control room and spoke curiously.
These things don't look like decorations, they give people a creepy feeling when looking at them.
"Is it some kind of sacrificial utensil?" Harof said thoughtfully.
Lin En walked forward and used the material deconstruction technique to decompose it. He immediately looked strange and hesitated for a while before speaking. "I think this should be the alien we are looking for."
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of Harov and others beside him suddenly widened, and they almost thought they were hallucinating.
Raphael was even more astonished, and said in disbelief, "This is actually an alien life form? How could a creature grow like this? How do they eat, move, and communicate?"
"Who knows? For a galactic civilization with unlimited technological possibilities, nothing is a problem." Lin En replied with a raised eyebrow. The reason why he was so sure was because the other party was also a carbon-based creature, so it must be a living being. It's just that a thousand years have passed, and the other party's consciousness or soul has long dissipated, so it is impossible to obtain any information from it.
“Let’s go. There’s only one area left!” Lin En froze the corpses with his hands to avoid the possibility of resurrection. Then he led Harov and the others into the most critical area of the entire spacecraft—the spacecraft engine and energy storage area…
Chapter 569 Lin En: We want to build our own superluminal spacecraft!
What is the most important indicator for a spacecraft? Naturally, it is the power system!
After all, when sailing in the endless void of the universe, speed is the most critical factor. How fast and how far it can fly will always be one of the most important indicators for measuring a spacecraft.
However, this area is also the most severely damaged. It seems that the crash of the spacecraft is related to this...
In fact, Lin En also found a lot of wreckage parts under the rock layer of the moon, and brought them back. However, in terms of shape and size, they did not match the damaged parts of this spacecraft.
This most likely means that there was more than one spaceship that reached the moon, but the main bodies of the other spaceships were completely destroyed and wiped out directly at the microscopic level. It must have been some kind of divine art similar to the "Great Disintegration", so only this one ship, which looks like the main ship, was left.
Fortunately, despite the serious damage, Lin En and others still made a lot of discoveries, such as a set of strong magnetic field restraint devices, which could sense strong energy fluctuations.
"Is this... a nuclear fusion device?" Vittorio immediately became interested. After all, this was the only thing he could understand.
"No, to be precise, it should be an anti-hydrogen fusion device!" Lin En explained.
"Anti-fusion?"
This novel concept surprised Harov and others greatly, and Lin En quickly explained that antimatter is like the mirror image of matter. Apart from the completely opposite properties, there is no other difference.
Since normal elements can undergo fusion reactions, combining with each other to form elements with larger mass, and changing their positions in the periodic table, antimatter is of course no exception.
"Doesn't that mean we can use anti-uranium 235 to perform [Skyfall]?" Anthony said with a creative mind.
"Of course, no problem!" Lin En nodded, and then continued, "But this is meaningless. Although the power of the anti-【Skyfall】 is strong, it is much weaker than the energy generated by the direct annihilation of matter and antimatter!"
This thing should be used to create more massive antimatter elements, just as they can combine hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium into helium in a normal fusion furnace, and then fuse helium into carbon.
After all, it is not so easy to directly capture and produce heavier antimatter, so Lin En used antihydrogen elements or simply anti-electrons when fighting with the Lord of the Undead.
He guessed that there should have been a hydrogen fusion reactor here, which, while synthesizing elements with larger mass, continuously used the annihilation effect of matter and antimatter to generate huge energy to provide kinetic energy for the spacecraft.
"What an unimaginable masterpiece..." Vittorio couldn't help but sigh after listening to Lynn's story.
A fusion furnace composed entirely of antimatter, he couldn't even imagine what that would be like.
Perhaps it could be called the Anti-Solar Forge?
What would happen if this thing collided with the real sun?
Thinking of this, Vittorio shuddered.
Harov and Anthony were equally shocked and terrified.
Lin En was relieved. Although antimatter was powerful, it was still within his understanding. This was good news for him, as it proved that the gap between the two sides was not as huge as he had expected.
During the time he traveled through time, the Federation was also developing an anti-fusion furnace. There were many records in the intelligent computer's database, even design drawings.
Judging from the technology of energy acquisition alone, the technological level of the galaxy civilization they encountered was certainly more advanced, but it was not yet enough to crush the Federation by several levels in terms of technology.
This is like a civilization that is still undergoing the First Industrial Revolution, and directly encounters the three Western European countries at the end of World War I. Although the technological gap is huge, there is also hope of catching up.
If the other party uses quantum tides or dark matter and dark energy as driving energy, then they will have no second option except surrender.
Just as Lin En was thinking, Aurora's voice suddenly came.
"Come over here and take a look!"
Several people present immediately turned their heads to look over and saw Aurora standing in front of a broken device, speaking in confusion.
Inside the device is a constantly rotating energy ball that flashes red light.
"Could this thing still be working?" Anthony asked in amazement. Since they entered the spaceship, everything they saw seemed to be destroyed or silent due to loss of energy supply. Suddenly, he found an instrument that was still working, which naturally surprised him greatly.
Lin En observed carefully for a moment, then stretched out his hand and placed it on the instrument. After exploring for a few minutes, he suddenly took action and a strong magical wave immediately erupted in the spacecraft.
Harov and his companions looked at Lin's sudden explosion in astonishment and confusion. The red light inside the device began to vibrate violently. After about five seconds, it flashed suddenly and completely disappeared in front of everyone.
There was also an illusory bottle in Lin En's hand, and a red light was spinning inside the bottle.
"Is there any new discovery? What is this thing?" Vittorio asked hurriedly.
"This is probably a quantum communication device!" Lin En said with a serious expression.
The so-called quantum communication is the use of quantum superposition and entanglement effects to transmit information. Since it involves high-dimensional links, it can even exchange information at superluminal speed. It is a relatively convenient means of communication on the scale of cosmic space.
Just at that moment, Lin En also detected the other party's position through this high-dimensional connection.
"I have explored many locations, and the closest point is about tens of light years away..." Lin En said thoughtfully. This feeling is very vague, and there may be some delays or errors.
Hearing this, Harov and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. Dozens of light years, that's too far. It would take decades to travel at the speed of light...
This means they still have a lot of time.
But the next moment, Lin En continued, "They are approaching this side at a very fast speed... It is not ruled out that they have the ability to cross space, just like the simultaneous space gate."
The worries that Harov and others had just put to rest were instantly lifted up again. They looked at Lin En speechlessly. It would have been better if they had told him the worst possibility at the beginning.
"No matter what, we must build our own lightspeed, or even superluminal spacecraft as soon as possible!" Lin En said firmly.
……
Following Lin En's bold words, all the high-level alchemists in the entire council devoted themselves to the research of disc-shaped spacecraft in the next few months.
Thanks to the power and magic of magic, even if the other civilization's technological level is far superior to theirs, they can still obtain a lot of useful things by analyzing and reorganizing matter through material deconstruction.
There are some new discoveries almost every few days.
New elements, new materials, new technologies, every discovery is exciting enough to win a Morning Star or even a Silver Moon Medal!
Lin En even gave everyone a crash course in quantum mechanics. No matter whether they could learn it or how much they could understand, he would first use divine power to instill knowledge in them.
This behavior is no different from pulling up the seedlings as a team leader, which makes Raphael and other great wizards dizzy for a while, but it is still somewhat useful.
In addition, their primary goal was not to build an interstellar battleship from scratch, but to modify this relatively intact spacecraft on the existing basis and accumulate some experience first.
After all, the entire spacecraft remains intact, and the weapons and various technologies on it are ready-made, comparable to the combat power of a god.
If they could build a hundred such spaceships, they would have the capital to wage an all-out war with the main world!
However, due to the serious damage to the power and energy areas, how to make this huge guy weighing millions of tons fly, and even reach a speed sufficient for space travel, became the most troublesome problem for Harov and others.
"In my opinion, why not use electromagnetic drive?" In the research institute of the Land of Death, Anthony looked at the alchemists who were deep in thought and made a suggestion.
Accelerating the internal conductor through electromagnetic fields is a very common method of speeding up, but it has great potential!
For example, the high-speed particle collider created by Lin En can accelerate protons to one-fifth the speed of light, and this is not the upper limit. As long as there is enough energy, it can almost unlimitedly approach the speed of light!
"But how much energy will that consume?" A great wizard frowned. They were able to accelerate the proton to an incredible maximum speed because its mass was very small. According to the formula of relative mass and relative speed proposed by Linn, this would definitely be an astronomical figure.
"We can fully utilize the planet's own magnetic field to provide power!" Anthony explained again. Linn's method of dealing with the Lord of the Undead gave him a lot of inspiration. They could use the planet as a magnet and set up an extremely large and strong magnetic field, and have the spacecraft continuously speed up as it orbits the planet.
The principle is similar to that of a particle collider, except that the magnets and conductors are enlarged more than a billion times!
"This method is not bad!" Harof nodded thoughtfully, and immediately discussed the possibility of a planetary accelerator with Aurora, Vittorio and a dozen great wizards who were proficient in electromagnetism.
Dennis even proposed a new idea, which is to use the energy waves generated by the antimatter explosion as propulsion!
As soon as these words came out, all the wizards present broke out in cold sweats. Dennis's idea was not only out of the ordinary, but could be described as crazy. However, they had to admit that it was indeed feasible. If they could find a material that could resist the explosion of antimatter...
"Anyway, we can start with a nuclear explosion!" Dennis said excitedly, ready to do a big job at any time. Then he turned his head and looked at Lin En in the main seat, wanting to win the recognition of this Magic Star, no, now it should be called the God of Magic!
But Lin En ignored their discussion and was drawing a pattern on a piece of paper, frowning and thinking from time to time.
About three minutes later, Lynn suddenly stopped what he was doing, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and spoke concisely.
"Actually, I already have some ideas about the power system of the spacecraft..."
"I call it the warp drive!"
Chapter 570: Curvature engine, the concept of superluminal spacecraft!
"Warp...engine?!"
All the wizards present were stunned for a moment, and then began to wonder what this so-called curvature engine was.
Lin En did not explain directly, but looked at the two people who had just spoken and said, "Master Dennis, and Speaker Anthony, your ideas are very insightful and indeed feasible, but there are also many problems..."
The first is Anthony’s electromagnetic acceleration method!
I have to say that this is indeed a very interesting idea. The Coulomb force of the strong magnetic field is used to continuously provide power to the spacecraft, just like the strong magnetic field tunnel of the particle collider. Every time the spacecraft goes around, the speed will increase by a level...
But the closer it gets to the speed of light, the more energy it consumes. Even if he personally uses the sun as a magnet to build a super-large electromagnetic accelerator, he can only accelerate the spacecraft to about one tenth the speed of light at most.
This is certainly very fast, but it still cannot meet the needs of interstellar travel.
