Chapter 288： Vacuum zero point reactor (4000)

Chapter 288 Vacuum Zero Point Reactor (4000)

In two years, Luo An has built a defense system at base 19, and the new battlestar and force field generator have been completed.

During this period, the enemy is not unconscious, the enemy also has reconnaissance ships.

"No. 19 is stationed in the fleet again?" Commander Fu Long under the command of Yunxiao Hou noticed this phenomenon.

"My lord, this fleet is not like the fleet of Ptolemaic civilization. Their ships are lower level. They are all Tier 4 hyperspace warships."

"You mean, this is the fleet of Blue Star Civilization?" Fu Long asked.

"It may be. Our intelligence shows that this fleet is not well connected with the Ptolemaic civilization fleet. The No. 19 stronghold, which had been abandoned by them before, is now probably lost to the Blue Star civilization defense." Next analysis.

"The third-level civilization also wants to visit the muddy water here?" Fulong understood the situation and snorted coldly: "Send a fleet over and wipe them out!"

"Yes!"

They immediately dispatched troops to send a hyperspace fleet to stronghold 19.

Outside   19, hyperspace fluctuations appeared, and a fleet leaped quickly.

They jumped almost instantaneously, and the hyperspace jammers did not work.

"Warning, enemy attack! Warning, enemy attack!" The space outpost issued a warning.

"Come!" Luo An immediately arranged the fleet to meet.

The information of the enemy fleet has also been learned by the reconnaissance device. According to the analysis of energy radiation and hyperspace fluctuations, the lowest tier of these warships are all Tier 7 hyperspace warships, and there are also Tier 8 hyperspace warships!

Luo An also contacted Carmen, the commander of the Ptolemaic civilization, and asked him to mobilize the fleet to assist in defense.

The war has begun.

The weapons of the Blue Star Civilized Fleet have not yet hit the opponent, a large number of weapons appeared in front of them, various gravity bombs, kinetic energy weapons, and gravitational wave weapons.

These weapons seemed to appear in front of the battleship instantly, and the Blue Star Civilization's fleet was blocked in the stronghold before it was dispatched.

"Defense, fully defend!" Although the captains were mentally prepared, they did not expect that they would be blocked by various weapons without even leaving their "home".

"Can you attack?" He Xingzhou was also watching the war here, he asked.

"There is no way to attack." Luo An said, "The other party uses hyperspace weapons and attacks us instantly."

"Under the interference of the gravitational field, we can't even launch our weapons. If we hadn't built defense facilities, we would be hit hard in the first round."

"Now it can only be attacked by hidden warships arranged in advance outside the stronghold. If you send out the battle stars, you should be able to fight out."

"Try your best to defend and collect enemy intelligence. If you can't stop it, then withdraw! Wait until the staff of the Ptolemaic civilization arrives before attacking." He Xingzhou exhorted. Now he didn't expect the Blue Star Civilization Fleet to be able to beat the opponent, and now let them accumulate experience and collect the scientific and technological information of the fourth level of civilization.

"Received!" Luo An ordered, "Full defense, with the preservation of the warship as the first goal."

"Received!" The ships began to execute. Although they could not be defeated, it was impossible for the enemy to destroy them quickly.

They delayed for a while, and the support fleet of the Ptolemaic civilization also jumped through the hyperspace jump to attack the enemy.

"Support is coming, dispatch the battle star!" Luo An shouted.

The destroyed and rebuilt Golden Battle Star battles out, directly against the enemy’s firepower and rushes out of the stronghold.

"What a powerful battle star!" Carmen saw the battle star and was full of envy. Although the Ptolemaic civilization was a level four civilization, it did not create a battle star.

Because their interstellar building ability is not too high.

"This is the battle star? The defense is amazing!" Fulong is also observing, "but its mobility is still much weaker than ours. As long as we are not trapped by the gravitational field, it can't reach us at all!"

Their warship is moving or jumping quickly, adjusting its position to attack.

Golden Battle Star can't lock his attack target.

"The support of the Ptolemy civilization is here, withdraw." Fulong has determined that this is the fleet of the Blue Star civilization, and the intelligence has been mastered, and there is no need to continue fighting.

They retreated directly and jumped away with a hyperspace jump. The Ptolemaic civilization's fleet locked the opponent's position and carried out jump tracking. They sent the coordinates to Luo An, and the Blue Star civilization's fleet also carried out jump tracking.

Jumped once, and did not chase the enemy.

The Ptolemaic fleet continued to jump, but the battleships of the Blue Star civilization had to return.

Because an embarrassing thing happened, the energy on the battleship was insufficient, and the hyperspace jump consumes a lot of energy, so if you jump twice, the battleship will be "out of fuel".

Seeing that the Blue Star Civilized Fleet was no longer following, Carmen also ordered a retreat.

The first collision between the two sides did not cause much loss, but Blue Star Civilization has exposed its shortcomings.

……

The past five years.

Not only was the Blue Star Civilization Fleet attacked in the M34 star cluster, it was also the same in the M97 star cluster. The Blue Star Civilization fleet was repelled many times, losing more than a dozen hyperspace warships, and losing strongholds twice.

The record is very ugly, not once won.

Even the Fox Hunting Court has never sent a main fleet to fight with them, otherwise they can be solved in one go.

"If it weren't for the battle stars, our fleet would have been wiped out." He Hongwei said with emotion, "The gap is too big!"

"Hmm." He Xingzhou said, "I almost understand."

"The main difference between us and the enemy lies in two points."

"The first point is that the enemy has hyperspace weapons, but we do not, so we can only passively be beaten forever!"

"The second point, the enemy's hyperspace warship jumps more stable, the jump distance is longer, and the endurance is stronger, and it can jump multiple times."

"Our warship jumps two or three times, and it consumes 70% or 80% of its energy. The enemy knows this, so it consumes our energy by jumping multiple times against us, which also causes us to be passively beaten!"

"That's it, does the Ministry of Science have a solution?" He Hongwei asked.

"Give us some more time, we are already thinking of a way." He Xingzhou said, "Continue to maintain a defensive posture until our new technology breaks through."

……

In the past few years of temptation, He Xingzhou not only didn't feel afraid of the Orion King Court, but felt that the other party was not as powerful as he thought.

The weapons they use, except for the ability to transition into hyperspace, are similar in performance to Blue Star civilization weapons.

"Then only need to consider one problem. Increasing the reactor energy will increase the battery life and create a small one-time hyperspace transition engine for use in weapons." He Xingzhou believes that all the problems they have encountered so far indicate that As a result, the energy output of the antimatter reactor is no longer enough!

"The enemy's warships can jump many times and can retain a lot of energy for battle. They definitely don't use anti-matter reactors, otherwise, how can the warships store so much anti-matter?" He Xingzhou pondered that there is only one possibility. The enemy uses more advanced energy technology. .

He turned on the Quantum Optic Brain and found the answer.

"Vacuum Zero Point Reactor!"

The so-called vacuum zero-point reactor is a reactor that directly draws energy from the vacuum to power weapons and equipment.

This sounds mysterious, but it is a very scientific thing.

Vacuum is not nothing, but a system composed of rotating wave packets of positrons and negative electrons. The energy associated with this phenomenon is called zero-point energy, that is to say, this vacuum activity is still maintained even at absolute zero.

Dirac described the vacuum state from quantum field theory, comparing vacuum to a sea of ​​fluctuating energy.

Vacuum zero-point reactor is to extract energy from the vacuum "sea of ​​energy"!

This is a kind of dynamic energy. Compared with nuclear reactors and antimatter reactors, its biggest advantage is that it can be drawn at any time!

No nuclear fuel or anti-matter is needed. Wherever the warship goes, it can draw energy from!

As long as there is a vacuum, the warship can go on forever.

On the surface, it looks like a "perpetual motion machine", but it's not.

After the energy of the positive and negative electrons in the vacuum is absorbed, the vacuum will collapse. The visual understanding is that the reactor consumes "space" to power itself.

If it is in a fixed space, doing so will reduce the volume of the space, which is not conducive to long-term development. But they are in an expanding universe, and this shrinking space is nothing compared to the expanding universe.

"Consume one hundred energy points to unlock the vacuum zero-point reactor technology." He Xingzhou unlocked the technology and began to research.

As long as they conquer the vacuum zero-point reactor, their hyperspace warships will be able to break through level five and reach the standards of the Galaxy-class warships.

At that time, warships could repeatedly perform hyperspace jumps and battles, and conquered hyperspace weapons.

Blue Star Civilization can be promoted to Level 4 Civilization, which is of great significance!

He Xingzhou’s research has begun.

……

The war between the star cluster M34 and the star cluster M97 continues.

In the decades since the Blue Star Civilized Defense Fleet arrived, although it has been defeated, it has not lost much.

As the enemy fully understands their weaknesses, the war becomes more difficult, and the damage in each battle increases.

Even two battle stars were almost blown out, and they were sent back twice for repairs!

Ptolemaic civilization and Yexiao civilization did not have the energy to take care of them. They themselves were caught in the quagmire of hard fighting, and the defense line around the star cluster was eroded step by step.

The Yexiao civilization is worse than the Ptolemaic civilization, and their outer space has been blocked by half!

Qingfenghou and Mingyuehou have arranged a large number of hyperspace detectors and jammers on the periphery of the M97 star cluster, so that the Yexiao civilization now needs to be extremely careful if it wants to communicate with other civilizations or exchange resources. In case they are discovered and destroyed, they It's going to be hurt once!

Many members of the   Star Trade Group realized that it was not good and began to surrender to the Royal Court of Orion.

The power of the Star Trade Group is declining every day!

In order to prevent allies from falling too fast, leave room for development.

Blue Star Civilization decided to send a large number of interstellar engineering teams and transportation teams to build defense measures, energy measures, transportation resources and so on for allies.

This did relieve their pressure to a certain extent, but the real threat of the enemy has not been relieved.

……

M4 star cluster, a starry science test site.

He Xingzhou is testing the vacuum zero-point reactor designed and developed by himself.

This reactor is suspended in a vacuum, there is nothing around!

There is no electricity, solar energy, nuclear energy...

"The reactor starts!" He Xingzhou began to operate.

The vacuum zero-point reactor begins, it begins to absorb the energy of the electric particles in the vacuum.

These energy is collected by the device and converted into various energy.

One minute later, the data showed that this vacuum zero-point reactor had collected almost one kilowatt of electricity.

This wisp of energy is pitiful, but for researchers, it is a surprise!

Anything, the process from scratch is the most difficult. Once it is developed, it is much easier to upgrade and improve!

"We have absorbed the vacuum zero-point energy!" He Xingzhou was satisfied, "The design idea is correct, Lumi, detection device, analysis of reaction data, ready to improve!"

"Okay, master!" Lumi began to analyze the data.

Vacuum zero-point reactor, after more than 150 years of improvement, tens of millions of experiments, finally got a vacuum zero-point reactor that can function as a hyperspace warship.

Because the technology is not yet fully mature, the vacuum zero-point reactor cannot be said to completely enable the warships and battle stars to "unlimited battery life", so He Xingzhou used it and the antimatter reactor to design the reactor group.

Let the anti-matter reactor and the vacuum zero-point reactor provide energy at the same time. Compared with the previous five-tier hyperspace battleship, the new reactor group has more than one hundred times the ability to continue fighting!

Hyperspace transition can also make multiple transitions without rushing back home to supplement energy.

At this point, Blue Star Civilization has also made a logical breakthrough to level 4.0 civilization.

After solving the problem of the vacuum zero-point reactor, the Military Research Institute quickly broke through hyperspace weapons.

Blue Star Civilization recalled the warships fighting outside in batches, and upgraded them one by one.

And that star-level ultimate weapon, the gravitational wave mid-end station, has also been built for most of it, and it will be completed in a few years.

……

M34 star cluster.

The transformed Blue Star Civilized Warship came here again. Their stronghold has been changed from No. 19 to No. 122.

The previous strongholds have been occupied by the enemy.

Yunxiao Hou's commander Fu Long once again ascertained the situation of the Blue Star Civilized Fleet.

"The Blue Star Civilization Fleet is stationed at the 122 stronghold, this is our opportunity!" Fu Long said, "Compared with the Ptolemy Civilization Fleet, the Blue Star Civilization Fleet is weaker and more suitable for us to break through and attack."

"The Ptolemy civilization is also exhausted. Let the third-level civilization to help defend the stronghold. Isn't this giving us a place?"

"When the order is passed down, the fleet will attack immediately. Just like before, it will flash the riding face directly with a quick flash strike!"

"Received!" The subordinates understood, jumped directly into the opponent's defense zone and bombed. If the Ptolemaic civilized fleet comes to assist in the defense, they will temporarily withdraw.

The opponent has no ability to chase. Repeat this several times, and you can win a stronghold at a very small cost.

Over the past few years, the captains have regarded the strongholds defended by the Blue Star civilization as a kind of "welfare". Whoever can find out in advance is equivalent to picking up a battle for nothing!
