Chapter 34 Long Voyage
Just as Wei Qingyang thought, with the addition of this batch of materials, various scientific problems that have plagued everyone for decades have ushered in breakthroughs on the Qingyang Star.
Electrical computers were first developed successfully and were actually used.
Because of the application of power computers, mathematics first ushered in a breakthrough, and a series of disciplines limited by the lag in the development of mathematics have ushered in development, such as engineering, mechanics, physics, etc. There are no longer theoretical obstacles in the research and development of hydrogen bombs.
In the rest, in terms of chemistry, a series of complex compounds were developed, and several genius chemists proposed the two aspects of physical chemistry and theoretical chemistry, and began to study the discipline of chemistry from the theoretical level, instead of just focusing on experiments.
Physics has begun to develop to a more basic place, and has even begun to try to verify a series of predictions of relativity. Quantum mechanics has also made preliminary progress and has a deeper understanding of the microscopic world.
Everything is developing thriving. When the level of technology has been around until the 1970s and 1980s in the previous life, when personal computers were just launched, and the manned moon landing project was forcibly launched and was lucky enough to complete, the shortage of population once again became the main factor restricting the development of science and technology.
You should know that it is great advantage to conduct scientist research by practitioners. The most intuitive point is that their lifespan is very long, which means that these excellent brains will not retire too early, but will continue to fight on the front line of scientific research.
Imagine Einstein, Bohr, Planck, Landau, Schrödinger and other big bulls in their previous life lived to hundreds of years old, and always kept up with the times, always learning and thinking in their lives. What kind of scene would it be?
Moreover, the brain power bonus brought by practice makes them far superior to ordinary people in terms of memory, thinking agility, energy, etc., and this is not as simple as one plus one equals two, because there is also a communication process between ordinary people, and the thoughts that language and words can carry are very limited.
It can even be said that they can beat at least four or five ordinary scientists alone.
After so many years of reproduction, more than 2,000 people at the beginning have now become more than 7,000 people.
A simple calculation based on one equals four is equivalent to more than 28,000 people. In addition, there is basically no need to rest, which is equivalent to more than 50,000 people.
Even if some young people who are not suitable for scientific research are removed, at least about 40,000 people can be around 40,000.
The 40,000 outstanding full-time scientists are still not enough even if they only face the scientific level of the 1970s and 1980s in their previous life.
However, the population has almost reached a limit since now. If the normal rate of growth is slow, the star power reserves on Qingyang Star are sufficient, but if fertility is encouraged on a large scale, no matter how much star power reserves are, they will not be able to withstand it.
Wei Qingyang knew that in the next hundreds of years of voyage, he would probably never encounter macroscopic celestial bodies again and would receive a lot of supplies to replenish them. His current reserves would have to save some money.
At this moment, Qingyang Star is about 8.7 trillion kilometers away from the sun, about 0.9 light years.
Because the new protective formation was applied and the protection of the Breaking Sky Sword Formation was enhanced, Qingyang Star's forward speed has been increased to 4,000 kilometers per second. The remaining range originally took 350 years, but now it only takes 260 years.
Due to the slowdown in technological progress, it took more than 30 years for computer equipment to develop from power computers to large-scale integrated circuit computers. It took more than 40 years for its computing power to develop to the early 21st century in its previous life.
In terms of weapons, practical atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, neutron bombs, etc. have completed theoretical reserves. They have arrived at the new galaxy and obtained a large amount of material supplements again and were actually built. Interstellar missiles have also been pre-researched, and a few satellites have been made now, but they are just doing things and have no practical use.
The formation version of the space telescope that has played an important role before has long been retired and has been replaced by a technology version of the telescope developed using the latest technology. Among them, visible light, radio, infrared, ultraviolet, etc. are all available. The gravitational wave telescope has also completed theoretical reserves, but it is not possible to build it in reality for the time being. After all, the accuracy required by this thing is too high.
It is said to be a technology version, but in fact it also adds some things from the practice system. For example, refrigeration, complex refrigeration equipment under the technology system is far less practical than a simple ice technique. If it weren't for the development of interstellar missiles, Wei Qingyang would never have developed the rocket thing.
Just kidding, what kind of missile can be as convenient, fast and pollution-free as a monk flying directly into space to set up orbits for satellites?
In short, Wei Qingyang has always adhered to one principle, that is, whether it is scientific or practiced, it is used for whatever convenience.
No matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, it is a good cat to catch a mouse, and everything is practical.
The hard work of thousands of monks and scientists day and night has produced a huge amount of knowledge. In the previous life, Wei Qingyang could not learn all the knowledge, but it was simple here. It is just the most basic skill to never forget it after reading it. Learning it all, learning it thoroughly, and being able to deeply understand it and flexibly apply it. You can even develop the next step on this basis. This is how you describe Wei Qingyang's current state.
Those with low cultivation can only be professionals, while those with high cultivation can be universal talents.
Time slipped away quietly, and after a while, the distance between Qingyang star and the sun increased to 1.02 light years. At this time, Wei Qingyang's telescope controlled by Wei found a macroscope.
It is an asteroid with a diameter of about five meters, mainly composed of water ice, dry ice, etc. Wei Qingyang also doesn't know where it comes from, and even does not know whether it orbits the sun.
It hangs there alone, without any meaning. It seems that no change in the external world will affect it, and its existence will not affect anything outside.
But if you meet Wei Qingyang, it will be different.
Wei Qingyang spent several days, went for a trip and brought it back.
This thing can be said to be very valuable, and in a sense, it can be regarded as a very well-preserved museum.
It is precisely because it does not affect others, and others cannot affect it, that the things on it can be preserved intact for billions or even tens of billions of years. By studying the things on it, you can indirectly understand some of the early history of the universe.
The scientific development above Qingyang Star is extremely scientific. All the developments are useful technologies, such as weapons, telescopes, and certain auxiliary disciplines. However, the evolution, development of the universe, the evolution of the star body, etc., have been very limited.
If conditions permit, Wei Qingyang would not want to let go of any subject, no matter which discipline, even in humanities, economics, psychology, etc.
Now let’s practice with this asteroid to make up for your shortcomings.
Science is better to develop comprehensively.
Wei Qingyang knew that this was probably the last star that he could encounter that might be related to the solar system.
This distance has exceeded the range of the Alt Cloud and has truly entered interstellar space.
Even if that invisible "barrier" does not block the gravity of the sun, the matter in this space will no longer be affected by its gravity.
This is the battlefield of stellar gravity.
Qingyang Star continued to move forward and sailed in nothingness for a full 170 years. Just as Wei Qingyang estimated, in these 170 years, he really did not encounter any macroscopic celestial bodies again.
At this moment, there is about one light year away from Proxima Centauri, and it may have entered its Alt cloud range.
The reason why it is possible is that Wei Qingyang cannot be sure of it.
Proxima Centauri is a small star with an influence that can extend less than a light year. But the second of the South Gate is a triad star, with three stars, and the combined mass is far greater than that of the sun. Maybe the three stars have the same Orte cloud.
But it is also possible that in the gravitational battle between these three stars, all the frozen stars that make up the Orte Cloud were thrown away, which was possible that there was no Orte Cloud at all.
Wei Qingyang's knowledge of the evolutionary process of stars is still extremely limited, and he cannot draw a conclusion on this issue for the time being.
It is worth noting that above this distance, Proxima Centauri has been separated from the two stars, South Gate 2 A and South Gate 2 B, and can be seen alone - before, because the distance between the three stars is too close, only one spot of light can be seen.
Wei Qingyang's telescope still couldn't directly see the planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, but through the sun-blocking method and the star disturbance method, he could have more intuitively confirmed that the planet did exist.
This planet is the ultimate goal of Wei Qingyang's voyage.
It was because he knew that there was a big planet here that he chose this place as his target. Otherwise, when he arrived at a star system, there would be no planets. Just a big star stood there stupidly, and Wei Qingyang would be stunned.
No matter how small a star is, it is still a star. The wind on it is extremely violent and the star power is extremely violent. Even Wei Qingyang cannot get close to it, let alone use the star power on it to maintain survival.
After another few decades, an irregular asteroid with the longest distance of about thirteen kilometers and seven kilometers wide appeared in Wei Qingyang's vision.
Wei Qingyang's heart suddenly became excited.
There is no doubt that this is an asteroid belonging to the Nanmen Two-Three-Combination Star System.
This is the first time that Wei Qingyang discovered a macroscopic celestial body after discovering the asteroid with a diameter of only a few meters more than two hundred years ago.
It is also the first time I have seen macroscopic stars outside the solar system.
Wei Qingyang knew that the South Gate Two Galaxy, Proxima Centauri, was really coming soon.
