How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 420: Sublight Journey (Part 1)

"After debugging all aspects of data, each section begins to charge to increase the strong magnetic field, and start the final countdown countdown, 4998..."

   "……,,, 2043……"

   "...10, 9...3, 2, 1, 0, launch!"

After the initial speed brought by the initial propulsion of gunpowder, the metal object enters the strong electric field area at a speed of 230m/s per second. Under the acceleration of the strong electric field, the speed is still rising sharply, and the scenery in the corridor that generates the strong electric field changes from a clear picture. It was blurry, the glimpse of the scenery, only the corridor in front of it remained unchanged. 

  10km/s……

   This speed has exceeded the speed of the first universe of this planet, and I think that the speed of the second universe is getting closer, but at this time the uniformly increasing metal body still has not escaped from the accelerating electric field of the corridor, and the speed is still rising steadily.

  100km/s……

  The corridor is in a vacuum environment. If it is filled with gas, this kilogram of metal will quickly wear out in just a few minutes. After all, moving at such a high speed, air can be roughly understood as a solid.

   At this time, from the perspective of the metal body, the surrounding scenery has changed from a fuzzy floating light to countless thin lines. Only the scenery ahead has not changed, and the acceleration is still continuing.

  1000km/s……

  ……

  /S……

At this time, the metal body has circled the equator for eight and a half times, and is completing the ninth circle. At this time, observing the outside world from the perspective of the metal body, the countless thin lines around have become more and more blurred. It is almost impossible to say that the naked eye It can be seen that the brightness of the scenery ahead increases, like a light bulb that is gradually lighting up, changing from dim to dazzling.

   The acceleration continues.

The metal object in the strong electric field is a living body. The metal exoskeleton with titanium as the main body is constructed into a cone shape, which is very similar in appearance to titanium snails, but is very different inside. It is not like titanium snails. The solid-state propulsion organs, where there is a brain that dominates the subject.

Different from traditional cells, in order to adapt to acceleration from normal speed to sub-light speed, the collectors designed a new form of cell whose cytoplasm is a concentrated solution of high molecular polymer. The magic of this liquid lies in ordinary stirring. It appears as a liquid, but if it is hit hard, it will appear as a solid.

   The main reason that the concentrated solution as a liquid has such properties is because the shear stress of the concentrated solution itself is not linear with the shear strain rate.

Cells use this liquid as cytoplasm. During acceleration, the entire interior will show solid properties to avoid tearing of the internal cells. If ordinary cells are used to accelerate to sub-light speed, I am afraid that when they leave the sub-light speed orbit, the metal is just It has an appearance structure, and inside it is a muddy corpse.

   During the acceleration period, it is necessary to ensure the activity of each cell. Cells also need to breathe and also need nutrients. After all, they are biological, not machinery, and machinery does not have such troubles.

  In order to solve this problem, each cell has a vacuole design. During acceleration, every cell inside the metal can consume the nutrients inside the vacuole to maintain life activities.

This organism is not designed to store too many nutrients. Due to the influence of the relativity's shrinkage effect, from the time perspective of metal objects, the travel time to the target star system does not need to be as long as five years, it will be even shorter, so there is no It is necessary to expand the storage of nutrients.

   Under normal conditions, when the naked eye is accelerating in the sub-light speed orbit, black vision will be formed due to recoil, making it impossible to see anything in the outside world or even ahead.

In the final analysis, the eyes also need to undergo a chemical reaction of fluid matter to enable the organism to see everything around it. During acceleration, strong recoil will squeeze the fluid matter at the microscopic scale of the visual system, resulting in short-term blindness or short-term blindness. The vision is blurred, and the specific situation is determined by the strength of the recoil at the time.

   To solve this problem, the collectors used two sets of vision systems, one is a traditional vision system, and the other is a non-biological vision system, which is the same principle as the monitor.

During the acceleration period, all the cells inside the metal body will show solid properties, and even the blood will appear to be solidified. The cells of the eye are naturally no exception. Therefore, the biological visual system is basically in a state of strike, and then the biological will spontaneously Activate another set of visual senses.

In the sensory part of the eye, there is a set of ionic networks all over the cells. Under normal circumstances, the flow of cytoplasm causes them to exert their ability to receive visual information. This can be different during the acceleration period. These non-Newtonian fluids such as high-molecular polymers are here. Time will appear as a solid state, so these ion channels can play a role at this time.

   converts the captured electromagnetic waves into 1 and 0 digital signals, which are transmitted to the brain through neurons, and the brain processes this information by itself.

   But even so, in this accelerated state, the accelerated metal body cannot determine its current position by observing external electromagnetic waves, because the speed has been increased too high.

Fortunately, this is not impossible. If a metal body wants to know where it is, it only needs to feel the force it bears. Because part of the sub-light orbit is a circular acceleration orbit around the equator~lightnovelpub.net~ so After the speed increases, the metal body has to withstand a strong centrifugal force, and with this, you can roughly judge your position.

If the centrifugal force exists, it means that the metal body itself has not deviated from the circumequal part of the sublight orbit. When the centrifugal force disappears and the recoil still exists, it means that the metal body has entered the vertical part of the sublight orbit. Reach 90% of the speed of light and leave the acceleration orbit into the deep space of the universe.

   When the centrifugal force and recoil force disappear, at this time, it has reached the sub-light speed, and has departed from the sub-light speed orbit, and the accelerating strong electric field has embarked on the journey to the target star system.

   The acceleration phase is controllable, so despite the existence of strong centrifugal force and recoil, it can only be regarded as a surprise. The real risk of this journey is that after reaching the sublight speed, the metal body embarks on a journey to a star.

   The race in that star system begs you-the Supreme Will.

   "My will to reach there safely, everything is for the ethnic group."

   The danger of the journey did not arouse the negative emotions in the metal body. At this moment, its heart is surprisingly calm, enduring the discomfort caused by acceleration, and waiting for the state to recover.

   In fact, it hasn't waited long. With the increase in speed, the shrinkage effect has also intensified. From its perspective, the acceleration of several months has not even reached a day.

   When the force exerted by the whole body disappeared, it knew that an extremely dangerous journey had begun.
