Hawk fell into a deep concern.
Basically, the "extermination of the rest of the civilization, will lead to their own civilization's luck to improve" this speculation has been confirmed, but at present, Hawk is still unclear why the civilization that detonated the Earth will let himself go, and, why to force himself to obtain the ability to interstellar navigation, immediately after leaving the solar system.
This is a bad feeling. Hawk had always been used to taking everything into his own hands, on Earth as it was, in the solar system as it was, and in the confrontation with the lizardman civilization.
But now, the information received from the lizardmen made Hawke really a bit confused.
Hawk even wondered if there was a huge trap waiting for him at ε Eri, but after thinking about it, Hawk decided to set ε Eri as the voyage destination, something he had decided early on Earth, and it was unlikely to be the result of some mysterious existence manipulation.
The idea of returning to the solar system was dismissed by Hawk without hesitation. Now the speed, has reached nine hundred kilometers per second, if you want to return to the solar system, it must first slow down to zero, and then face the sun to accelerate, Hawk can not afford such a huge amount of fuel consumption.
Moreover, the unknown existence, there is a need to lay down such a huge trap for a civilization so weak?
The combination of all these factors made Hawk determined to continue to ε Eri.
Another area of concern is about the coexistence of civilizations in the universe.
As you can imagine, under the principle of "extermination of other civilizations will lead to the improvement of their own civilization's luck", the universe must be an incomparably chaotic, cruel and dark situation. Moreover, the weaker the civilization, the more popular it is. Because the weak civilization is easy to eliminate.
"It's really lucky that the Earth can develop up to now." Hawk sighed.
"Although I don't have the mind to destroy the rest of the civilizations to obtain my own development, but I must guard against being attacked by the rest of the civilizations. In order to survive, I have to be strong as soon as possible." Hawk pondered, carefully putting away his previous optimistic thoughts.
"From now on, I must speculate about the rest of the civilization with the most malicious mind, and I must maintain the highest degree of vigilance against the rest of the civilization. If you perceive the slightest omen of ill will, then immediately preempt them, preferring to kill the wrong one rather than suffer a loss." Hawke at this moment, truly made up his mind.
On top of the barren star, Hawke obtained a large amount of supplies to replenish, so some primary, not very energy-consuming scientific experiments could already begin to research. But because of the inability to start the research of basic physical theory, Hawk does not expect these primary scientific research can get much results.
Hawk deeply appreciate the truth that the place with abundant materials and inexhaustible energy is a good place to start scientific research, such as in the solar system, in the cosmic void, then the heavenly civilization, its technological progress will be seriously slowed down.
For example, the lizardman civilization. With a planet as its home, drifting in the void for more than six thousand years, but also from the initial mastery of nuclear fusion energy, the development of just mastering the primary energy weapons.
Hawk's scientific research direction, mainly focused on the perfection of energy weapons, as well as the development of nanobots direction.
The perfection of energy weapons can give Hawk a powerful battle, nanobots, if developed successfully, can give Hawk a powerful defense capability. Before the breakthrough in energy shield technology, nanobots are the most practical means of defense.
Because the nanobots are only nano-level, so the nanobots are equipped with their own energy is not practical, only through the development of wireless energy transmission technology, can solve this problem.
Wireless energy transmission technology has been studied on Earth for a long time, dating back to Nikola Tesla in the early twentieth century.
The principle of wireless transmission energy technology is very simple, that is, by constructing an electromagnetic field, and then installing an induction device on top of the nanobots, when the induction device and the electromagnetic field resonance, the electrical energy will be transmitted to the nanobots.
When on Earth, the main obstacle of wireless energy transmission technology is the problem of excessive energy loss during transmission, but through Hawk's dedicated research, the energy loss problem has been compressed by Hawk to an acceptable level.
Hawk's initial construction of nanobots is a thousand nanometer level, that is, one ten thousandth of a centimeter. These nanorobots are all supplied with energy through wireless energy transmission technology, and normally move within the countless tiny pipes laid on the inner walls of the ship's shell.
If the ship's shell is damaged, the nanobots will carry out raw materials from the nearest raw material storage point, and then use themselves as the adhesive to repair the gap.
But this means extremely large computing power requirements. Hawk had calculated that a village ship, to achieve fast enough repair requirements, would require at least billions of nanobots, and more than a thousand ships would require a total of more than a trillion nanobots. To operate these trillions of nanobots at the same time, the amount of calculations needed can be imagined.
But fortunately, Hawk has two super photonic computer, and the nanobots carry out the work, most do not need Hawk direct intervention, directly thrown to another photonic computer on the line, Hawk only need to make some direction above the mastery of the big picture. But even so, in Hawke's expectation, this trillion nanobots into use, the main computer's utilization rate will also rise five to seven percent.
It took Hawk five years to build the first one billion nanobots for the test. After all the preparations were completed, Hawk planned to test the nanobots to see what they could do.
The village-class ship left the fleet alone, then another village-class ship lifted its guns and aimed at it.
Hawk gave the order to fire, and immediately, the high-speed bullet, which was accelerated to nearly 10,000 kilometers per second by the electromagnetic coil acceleration technology, shot out and instantly reached the place where the shell of the test ship collided fiercely with it.
Ten seconds later, the shell of the test ship was torn out of a one-minute diameter mouth. Shooting stopped, and then Hawk saw an amazing scene.
At the metal gap, the special material that constituted the shell of the ship seemed to have instant life, began to wriggle and move, and constantly extended, ten seconds later, the gap was first plugged by a thin layer of special material, and then this layer of material began to thicken on its own, a hundred seconds later, the gap disappeared completely.
Huo Ke gently exhaled, the mind relaxed.
Within these hundred seconds, Hawk manipulated more than five million nanobots near the gap, transported the specially treated raw materials from six material storage points, and then used himself as the adhesive to glue the raw materials cut into individual particles in the gap.
From a macroscopic point of view, it was as if the ship's shell would grow on its own and then plug the gap.
A gap of one minute in diameter consumed six hundred and seventy thousand nanobots.
"Nanorobots are disposable consumables, which means that a nanorobot production workshop must be built within each ship, especially in times of war, and a constant stream of nanorobots must be produced to replace the ones that are constantly lost. Moreover, after equipping the nanobot repair system, the total energy consumption of the ship is expected to increase by five percentage points, which also needs attention."
"But finally, it was built successfully and verified to be feasible. With this technology, in the midst of an interstellar war, my ship's attrition rate will be greatly reduced."
Hawk thought with joy and began further research work, such as how to reduce the energy loss rate of wireless energy transmission technology, such as reducing the energy consumption of nanobots, improve the flexibility of nanobots and other aspects of research.
There was also a breakthrough in the research of the Dragon God cannon, the speed of the energy mass it fired reached one-third of the speed of light, and the energy also had some improvement.
Time, in the busy research slowly slipped away. In the blink of an eye, one thousand years had passed.
Less than six hundred years from reaching the ε Eri system, the voyage, there are less than two light years left.
Epsilon Eri has become the brightest star in the sky. She emitted an eerie red light and looked exceptionally beautiful.
Just at this time, Hawke received a strange message.
In fact, it is not appropriate to say received, this message, so abruptly appeared in the main control computer, was detected by Hawk.
The message, which did not need to be translated, automatically turned into words that Hawke could understand.
"Thirteen thousand six hundred dark energy broadcasts, third star field."
"If you can receive this message, it proves that you already possess at least primary interstellar navigation ability. The information broadcasted below may be of vital importance to you, so please be sure to analyze it carefully."
"The Scavengers have increased their efforts to clear the third star field, and at the same time, the first traces of the Ghost Race have appeared in the third star field. Your situation may be very dangerous. This message contains a simple method of manufacturing a hyper-range communication instrument, please import this message into your central computer and the program will automatically begin the manufacturing process, then please communicate with us so that we can locate your coordinates. At that time, you will be greeted by special personnel to reach the safe zone."
"Repeat, your situation may be dangerous! Very dangerous!"
