To say that the hottest topic discussed on the Internet is of course the Infinite Gravity Group’s spacecraft design competition. This is already a super-hot topic of national concern. In the competition submission area and forums specially opened on the Infinite Gravity Group’s official website, People upload their designs all the time.

Some of these designs are pragmatic, and the technologies used are technologies that already exist but still need to be further developed, or technologies that can be developed in a short time.

Of course, there is also the design of fantasy technology. The proportion of this design is not small. Those designs in science fiction movies are just the most basic things.

And there are many kinds of propulsion methods designed for spacecraft alone. Someone specially summarized these propulsion methods and published them, and gave examples. miss you

Give the most basic information to those who are still designing their imagined spacecraft. If you don’t have your own ideas, then you can use these!

One: Solar sail spacecraft: Using solar wind to drive spacecraft requires a long acceleration time. Currently, it has been applied, and it can theoretically fly to more distant space outside the solar system;

Two: Ion thruster spacecraft: Use a radio frequency transmitter to heat ions to 1 million degrees Celsius. In a strong magnetic field, the ions rotate at a fixed frequency. The radio frequency transmitter is tuned to this frequency to inject strong energy into the ions to continuously increase the propulsion. Force, eventually accelerating the spacecraft to a higher speed;

Three: Nuclear pulse thruster spacecraft: A nuclear bomb is regularly thrown at the stern of the spacecraft to be used as the power of the spacecraft. The spacecraft is designed as a huge shock absorber and has a heavy radiation shielding device to protect the safety of personnel. This research is considered the least safe and reckless space technology;

4: Nuclear fusion-powered rockets: using inertial confinement nuclear fusion, when fusion occurs, the magnetic field then guides hot ions to spray to the tail of the rocket, thereby generating huge propulsion on the rocket;

Five: Bussard jet engine spacecraft: It does not need to carry too much fuel and huge power devices. It ionizes the hydrogen substances in space and uses a powerful magnetic field to absorb these hydrogen ions as fuel. The hydrogen substances in space do not Not much, which requires the magnetic field to be large enough, and this problem remains to be solved.

...

All of the above are more realistic designs, and the sci-fi point is the kind of various superluminal warp flying engines in the future.

Interstellar travel has always been a human dream, but the biggest problem to be solved for interstellar travel is undoubtedly what kind of engine is used. Because the interstellar space is so vast, it is easily calculated in light years, and the speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second. Running at this speed for a year, this distance sounds too far!

Relying on the current aerospace technology is definitely unrealistic. Therefore, when mankind moves into space to develop the universe in the future, it will inevitably need a revolutionary engine technology as a driving force. Then what technology is best to use, in science fiction and film and television works The speed engine may help humans realize this desire.

Here we must first popularize science, what is a speed engine? Many people may have seen the "Star Trek" series of science fiction films. The huge spacecraft in it is powered by a warp engine, and its flying scenes have a good display of warp flight.

In theory, warp flight is a kind of flight that can exceed the speed of light. The flying technology it uses can be said to be a subversive concept.

And the so-called warp engine is not an engine like an engine. The spacecraft that can fly at warp speed in the movie is not its two huge engines, but the spacecraft that can change the time and space around it. .

When it is flying at warp speed, the space-time in front of the spacecraft is compressed, and the space-time behind the spacecraft is expanded, so the spacecraft is trapped in a strange space-time.

The time and space in this time and space are completely different from other places. It can also be said that the spacecraft has changed the rules of time and space, so there is the possibility of flying faster than light.

So how to achieve this vision? In the 1950s, the German physicist Heim began to explore the concept of "hyperspace dynamics". He proposed the concept of "curved speed" using space-time distortion and space-time jumping to achieve superluminal flight. A strong magnetic field can create a gravitational field. In order to promote the high-speed flight of the spacecraft.

And if the magnetic field is strong enough, the spacecraft can enter a second-degree space higher than our time and space, and travel faster than light. When the magnetic field disappears, the spacecraft will return to the current time and space.

Of course, there are other designs that use dark energy as fuel for warp engines, use zero-point energy to obtain inexhaustible engines, and use antimatter as fuel for engines. These future energies are all currently human Is actively exploring.

Regarding what kind of fuel is used as the power system of the spacecraft, there is a lot of debate, especially the professional group.

Because the participants are all people with certain scientific knowledge~lightnovelpub.net~, all kinds of quotations began to be argued. Large-scale debates broke out on the forum from time to time, and many people’s design inspirations were It emerged in such a debate, so this kind of debate is even more attractive.

"Kuafu, you look at this design is really comfortable to see, this guy is really a member of the big food empire who has carved farming genes into his body! This design is simple!

This colonial immigration spacecraft has a total of eight floors of functional warehouses, but there are only two floors for people to live in, and the remaining six floors are actually areas for planting various plants and raising herbivores! "Lei Tiantang said enthusiastically after seeing the design of a spacecraft.

"Haha, yeah boss, this contestant should be a very professional ecologist and food lover, because it is not very detailed in the design of the place where humans live, but the design of the planting area and breeding area is very detailed .

It even designed a relatively complete ecosystem specifically for them, allowing the entire planting area and breeding area to develop an ecological cycle in a relatively long period of time.

The biggest highlight is that the plants and animals in his ecosystem can basically be used in the recipes he provides!

There are more than 100 kinds of seasonings in the planting area alone. It's crazy! "Quafu said with a smile.

His current level of intelligence has improved faster with the replacement of better-performing supercomputer units, and the half-step distance from the real intelligent life is getting smaller and smaller, so his innovation and design capabilities are also After a substantial improvement, it is still very simple for him to understand the design of these spacecraft.
