Chapter 1404 (1/2)
Oscar looked at the long and narrow cylinder in the bubble and wondered, ”is this the reincarnation plate later? Why does he look like a pen instead of a plate?”
”Of course, that's because it saves money!” the filmmaker smiled. ”You should notice that the gravity simulated by centripetal force is used in each layer of the reincarnation disk. Even now, the energy consumption of the gravity generator is not low for us. Generally, the gravity generator is only used on warships.
What's more, at that time, we didn't even have a clue about the technology of gravity. The earliest goal of space city was to achieve long-term survival in space.
No matter what the human being or the beast is, it is not suitable for the environment without gravity. Although early pilots always make complaints about them, those who dare not fly up to the sky are bound to the soul by gravity. But from a scientific standpoint, the human body does not adapt to the ecological environment of the space, especially in the long term life, it will cause many difficult chronic diseases.
Therefore, a stable environment simulating gravity is necessary for long-term survival in space. Naturally, the space city is made into such a slender cylinder in order to simulate gravity for a larger floor area with less materials and smaller space.
You think, when the circular area on both sides of the space city is fixed, the longer it will be. The larger the area it can get for free! So the early space city was designed to look like this cigar. ”
Oscar nodded. He could probably imagine that at that time, tulip technology was not exaggerated. At most, it was the development of different worlds, which made their material science complete rapid iteration and produced large spacecraft that could withstand the acceleration of space navigation. There were no abnormal technologies such as transmission and resurrection. In that case, It is not too much to say that building a space city is an epic project.
”I'm curious. Is such a project necessary for your development? Since you have mastered the technology of reaching other planets through transmission, there should be many habitable planets for you.
Why do you have to build a city that can operate independently in space? ”Oscar was curious.
”There are many reasons. On the one hand, we have not mastered the so-called interstellar transmission technology. The ectopic surfaces under development can only be reached through the portal left by the half plane. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between being alert to danger in times of peace and worrying about the sky. Even if these portals have operated safely for many years, we can't take it for granted This is the mature technology. There must always be PlanB. Once the portal fails, we must have other capabilities to expand the living space.
At that time, we could not see the hope of the realization of warp speed navigation technology in a short time, so we could only hope to survive in space for a long time, and then use a long time to reach Bilin for development.
On the other hand, our development was also faced with external threats. At that time, tulips had not fully grasped the response to the attack of the divine world. As quite high-grade supernatural beings, each of the gods was a great threat to our order, and space gave us great strategic depth.
Even the speed of God's flight is limited. If you want to accelerate in a short time in space with nowhere to borrow, you must carry a large amount of matter and push forward by the conservation of momentum.
