Chapter 214 Genius’ Idea
Milky Way Year 9375.
A fleet consisting of 500 battleships, nearly a thousand small and medium-sized ships of various types, and a small aircraft carrier with a length of 10 kilometers slowly passed through the Alpha Centauri star gate.
Then, led by the aircraft carrier flagship, the fleet entered a jump state.
A few minutes later, the fleet arrived at the edge of the solar system in front of the Alpha Centauri system.
Immediately afterwards, the fleet pushed forward at full speed, accelerating towards the solar system in a mighty manner.
This huge mutation was discovered and reported by Ah Dai through the phase monitoring satellite at the first time.
Milky Way Year 9379.
After traveling at the speed of light in interstellar space for four years, the electromagnetic waves sent by that fleet finally arrived at the solar system.
After this electromagnetic wave was received, Ah Dai translated it immediately and finally delivered it to Fan Ren's desk.
“Hello, strange civilization.
We are from the Hans civilization, which is located in the Wolf star system, 359 light years away from you.
Please do not panic, we come here in peace to establish diplomatic relations with your civilization.
We will arrive at the galaxy where your civilization is located in 90 years.
Once again, we come here in peace, please do not panic."
Fan Ren's mouth twitched.
Five years ago, Ah Dai had already detected all the relevant data of this menacing fleet.
In communication with the fox.
This is a standard deep space navigation fleet consisting of a small flagship, more than 500 battleships, and more than a thousand small ships.
In the Galactic Alliance, this is a standard small flagship combat formation.
In the Galactic Alliance, the default general rules are:
When coming into contact with an unfamiliar civilization, only fleets below the flagship and with no more than 10 combat ships are allowed to enter the territory of the other civilization.
Fox swore that the other party must have launched the invasion after finding out that the solar system was not registered in the Galactic Alliance.
Fanren was not in a hurry.
A key factor here is the size of the other civilization's fleet. Judging from Fox's professional vision, he concludes that this civilization is not rich and powerful.
The conclusion of his analysis is also very simple.
Take the fox’s previous plan of action, for example.
His pirate group was led by him in a spaceship with super-high speed and induction device, and they arrived at the solar system first.
Finally, the induction device was used to instantly jump the dreadnought from light years away here.
The entire process is saved in half.
But the other party did not do so. Instead, they took the trouble to form a fleet for a long-distance voyage in interstellar space and headed for the solar system.
Obviously, the other party is not wealthy in terms of financial resources and cannot even afford the fuel cost of a million star coins for a flagship jump, so they use this "stupid" method.
It seems that the other party is really very "poor", so much so that they have set their sights on the human civilization that has just entered the space.
Fan Ren looked at the "establishment of diplomatic relations" information with a playful look on his face.
80 years! He can’t wait that long.
Huomu Hub, shipyard construction plant.
A Punisher was slowly pushed down the dock.
Unlike the previous Punisher, the current ship, the Punisher, has a hull color that is somewhat moving towards dark green.
The overall shape of the ship has not changed much. The only change is that a new hybrid engine developed by the Xinghai Engine Laboratory is installed at the rear.
As reminded by the fox, his spaceship was equipped with the so-called 'afterburner', which mainly used liquid metallic hydrogen as fuel to provide huge power.
Then, a great and crazy idea was put forward by those crazy scientists in Xinghai.
A long time ago, some scientists proposed that in the future, when material technology matures.
When humans travel into deep space, they can use the shock waves of a nuclear bomb explosion to create a reaction force for the spacecraft, thereby giving it additional thrust.
However, this genius idea was not possible because the original material of the spacecraft could not safely withstand the shock wave.
Also, at that time, the space on the spacecraft was very limited, and there was not much room left to store bombs, as well as other difficult problems, so it was eventually forgotten.
However, there are now spacecraft made of highly compressed silver-like supermetal materials.
The shock wave generated by the bomb explosion is unlikely to affect the spacecraft.
At the same time, the dense bomb is liquid metallic hydrogen, which has an extremely high energy density, even exceeding the energy produced by nuclear fusion reactions.
The space problem has been solved again.
The two are combined, one using a nuclear fusion engine as the main conventional power.
At the same time, a nuclear fusion phased container furnace is added in the middle, so that it can provide a high-temperature and high-pressure environment for liquid metal hydrogen to explode.
When needed, after careful control, extremely rare liquid metallic hydrogen can be sprayed out from the tail of the spacecraft, thus causing an explosion effect.
The shock wave of the explosion will provide a large amount of reaction force to the spacecraft, giving the spacecraft huge, additional thrust.
This genius idea was eventually implemented on the Punisher, a ship built of silver-like supermetal that had just been used for the first time and had been reinforced.
After hearing this, the fox was confused for a while.
He knew that liquid metallic hydrogen could explode, but the problem was that in a vacuum environment, without the atmosphere as a medium, the shock wave range was prioritized and the power was greatly reduced.
He had also been under the influence of human density explosions, which slowed the ship down significantly, but that did no harm to the ship itself.
And he only has one chance to use this method.
Considering the speed of his spacecraft at that time, compared with the flying speed of human missiles, it is impossible for humans to have a second chance to use this kind of bomb against him.
In the Galactic Alliance, such backward and barbaric methods are generally not used when targeting high-speed small boats.
There is a piece of equipment in the Star Domain Market that can use gravity technology to force the target to slow down significantly at a certain distance.
Most civilizations use this method.
That's why the fox didn't expect it at all, so he fell into this trap.
But now, this method has been applied to engine systems by human scientists.
how to say?
It's very barbaric, but at the same time there seems to be no logical problem.
The afterburners available on the Star Domain market use liquid metallic hydrogen as fuel.
This so-called hybrid engine group also uses liquid metallic hydrogen as a power source.
But in an explosive way.
It was such a genius idea that he couldn't find any reason to refute it.
The nuclear fusion engine at the tail of the Punisher slowly started to power, and it will head to the distant Qingluan Legion to make preparations.
Soon, a team of professional test pilots will conduct test flights to test the various performance features of the spacecraft.
At the same time, the thrust capability of its hybrid engine group will also be tested.
