"Warp...engine?!"
All the wizards present were stunned for a moment, and then began to wonder what this so-called curvature engine was.
Lin En did not explain directly, but looked at the two people who had just spoken and said, "Master Dennis, and Speaker Anthony, your ideas are very insightful and indeed feasible, but there are also many problems..."
The first is Anthony’s electromagnetic acceleration method!
I have to say that this is indeed a very interesting idea. The Coulomb force of the strong magnetic field is used to continuously provide power to the spacecraft, just like the strong magnetic field tunnel of the particle collider. Every time the spacecraft goes around, the speed will increase by a level...
But the closer it gets to the speed of light, the more energy it consumes. Even if he personally uses the sun as a magnet to build a super-large electromagnetic accelerator, he can only accelerate the spacecraft to about one tenth the speed of light at most.
This is certainly very fast, but it still cannot meet the needs of interstellar travel.
The most important thing is that the acceleration and deceleration of the spacecraft will become a problem. They cannot wait for the spacecraft to circle the sun hundreds of times every time they sail. If they do that, the enemy will have already attacked.
Dennis's method is even simpler, just like the previous explosive thrusters. The protrusion is a powerful brick flying. In theory, using the energy waves generated by nuclear explosions or even antimatter explosions can indeed increase the speed of the spacecraft to a terrifying level.
However, where to find materials that can continuously withstand high temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees and ultra-high pressures is a currently difficult problem to solve. You know, even the spacecraft shell materials they intercepted would not last long under the cutting of the [antimatter sword].
After Lynn's explanation and analysis, Harov and others who were about to agree with the two plans immediately became hesitant. Dennis and Anthony also frowned. Of course, they were aware of the shortcomings, but it was the most reliable method they could think of.
"Then I wonder what propulsion your curvature engine uses?" Dennis asked thoughtfully.
Curvature... This is a term in Olympiad mathematics, which usually indicates the degree to which a curve deviates from a straight line. It is very common in differential equations.
Harov and Vittorio seemed to have some idea.
"Do you remember how Ella was able to move at super high speed when we were fighting?" Lynn asked with a smile.
Ella's speed was not much faster than theirs. The reason why they felt "unbelievably fast" was because the other party changed the curvature of space and shortened the distance! Being able to directly control time and space through magic and mental power is their biggest technological advantage over traditional technological civilization! Lin En still has a say in this. The technological level of the Federation in the previous life has actually reached the minimum requirements of interstellar civilization. The technology is at least several levels higher than theirs. They are still worried about how to find a truly stable and controllable source of gravity, not to mention being able to control space at a subtle level like a wizard!
If used well, there may be a possibility of overtaking! "In addition, I think the upper limit of the curvature engine is very high. It is the only way I can think of to exceed the speed of light!" Lin En said firmly.
Since we are going to build a spacecraft, of course we have to choose the propulsion device with the most potential!
Moreover, the resources of the parliament are limited, and they have little time, enough to focus on only one direction! "But, I remember you said that the speed of light is the upper limit of the speed of the universe..." a great wizard said anxiously.
At first, he felt that this theory was not very reliable, especially the fact that the faster the speed, the slower the flow of time, and even the concept that time stops after reaching the speed of light can only be described as outrageous. So when he heard Lin En mention superluminal speed, he immediately became excited.
Either quantum theory is wrong, or this curvature engine is not reliable! "The so-called speed of light cannot be exceeded is based on the nature of three-dimensional space itself. Any object with mass can only stop at sub-light speed at most, but the curvature engine is different..." Lin En replied with a smile.
In order to make everyone present understand the meaning clearly, Lin En stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the round table top. The next moment, the wooden table top immediately became as soft as plasticine.
"Let's assume it's a spaceship..." Lin En used elements to combine a ten-centimeter spaceship model, and then made it move at a speed of one centimeter per second.
When the spaceship model was halfway through its journey, Lin En tapped his index finger again, and the speed of the spaceship increased by more than ten times! All the wizards present were great wizards, so they could naturally see that the speed of the spaceship itself had not changed at all, only the desktop had changed.
The space in front was pulled closer, while the space behind was stretched, one in front and one behind, pushing the spacecraft forward at an extremely fast speed.
"Great!" Dennis clapped his hands in amazement. The curvature engine did not directly increase the speed, but directly shortened the distance of travel. Its actual speed still did not exceed the speed of light! In other words, it was the space that was moved, not the spacecraft itself! This was the most unreasonable part of the curvature engine! After Lynn finished explaining the design principle of the curvature engine, the focus of the discussion soon shifted to how to achieve curvature drive.
As the saying goes, one person's plans may be short-sighted, but everyone else's plans may be long-sighted. This is also the reason why Lin En brought this up for discussion. In many cases, inspiration suddenly pops up in the brain.
Just to create such a powerful gravitational field, at least several legendary wizards are needed.
"Let's try two plans. It's best to use alchemy to achieve it. Otherwise, the magic power of a wizard alone will not be enough to support long-distance voyages." Lin En reminded.
Vittorio nodded. After listening to Lynn's idea about the curvature engine, he already had a rough plan in his mind, and he immediately started discussing it with everyone.
The discussion lasted for a full week, and the curvature engine drawings that Lin En brought out had been changed beyond recognition. After that, work on the transformation of the entire spacecraft began.
This is undoubtedly another huge project. Even if a hundred great wizards work together, it will take more than half a year to complete.
Lin En did not use all his energy here, because he still needed to study the second topic, which was the establishment of the space-time gate! Both the Moon Goddess Diana and the Lord of the Dead have mastered this ability that is extremely advanced in the eyes of technological civilization and can jump long distances in time and space.
After a period of research, Lin En had some clues. The first was the positioning of the two space-time gates. It utilized the entanglement response of microscopic particles at a high-dimensional level, which was an extension of quantum communication technology.
Next comes the most important question: how to open the space-time tunnel.
The Lord of the Dead opened a door in front of him once, and it might be a time and space node spanning different universes, utilizing all the energy released by the soul of a nine-ring legendary wizard!
However, they obviously did not have so many legendary wizards for sacrifice, not to mention that there was not a single Nine-Ring Legend in the parliament at the moment. Even if they sacrificed Harof and others, it might not be enough to open the door.

Lin En then focused his attention on the annihilation of antimatter. In this universe, the only things that can affect time and space on a large scale are extremely fast speed, extremely large mass, and extremely strong energy! Of course, these three can also be said to be the same thing! When he was fighting the Lord of the Dead before, the last antimatter cannon even broke the vacuum and triggered the quantum tide.
Using the quantum entanglement effect as a means of positioning, by making two supermassive matter and antimatter particles collide, can it be possible to distort space-time to a level that connects higher dimensions in an instant?
Magic power is also very important. Because the annihilation of massive particles cannot continue, it is necessary to use magic power that can directly affect space and time to stabilize this channel.
…
In the next few months, the first phase of construction of the entire kingdom was basically completed, and the second and third phases of construction were also put on the agenda. Fortunately, after three years of initial study, the students of the Civilian Academy have graduated one after another, and through the connection of the magic network, 30,000 more wizards were added, which greatly alleviated the problem of labor shortage.
For the common people of the kingdom, life is changing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Every commoner is full of enthusiasm, all kinds of new creations emerge in an endless stream, and trade is extremely active.
As for the threats from the universe and the world outside the space-time gate, only the senators who are great wizards can understand the inside story.
The promotion ceremony for the legendary wizard has also been restarted. Lin En personally gave a thousand questions about quantum mechanics, and those who can pass them successfully will be eligible for promotion.
In this way, even if you fail to get promoted, you will not end up with both your soul and body destroyed.
Harof, Vittorio and others frequently use the magic network to feel the higher-dimensional space and time, and they are not far from breaking through to become the eight-ring legendary wizard.
Based on her analysis of the display instruments on the spacecraft, Aurora also developed a magic projection device that can record the movements of mimic elements in a certain area and store this information in a special container, which can be reproduced as long as the container is activated.
After receiving the report on this magic, Lin En was also very interested. Isn’t this a magic version of a VCR?
The magic he developed, [Time Rewind], is much more advanced than this, but not everyone can use it, while the magic developed by Aurora has the potential to be popularized.
With this, they might be able to make a magic version of the movie, which would be a great propaganda tool...
