Chapter 686 White Dwarf Mine

After this kind of mental linker was put into use, the efficiency of the Empire's operation increased exponentially!

In particular, the efficiency of the Empire's scientific research can be described as rocket-like!

Communication between scientists has become extremely convenient. After eliminating the tedious details of typing or waiting for calls, things that originally took ten minutes to complete can now be done in two minutes.

Not only that, scientists can also share their inspirations and new discoveries through the mental network in a timely manner.

The level of scientific research in the Empire began to rise rapidly, and now the research and development results of ten years can catch up with the previous thirty years.

Various new technologies began to erupt like a volcanic eruption, and the Empire seemed to have returned to the time when it just stepped out of the starry sky.

At that time, because technology was still in its infancy, it only took a very short time to make a breakthrough. When the Empire's technology developed to a certain level, the improvement of technology became difficult.

The improvement of each small technology may mean that the Empire needs to break through thousands of new technologies!

Because of this, the Empire's development in the later period was extremely slow. Although the territory continued to expand, the technology did not improve much, and the Empire's foundation was still insufficient after all.

But now it is different. After the emergence of the mental network, the speed of scientific research in the Empire seems to have returned to the time when it just left the Sith Star. New technologies are born almost every day.

In the fourth year after the popularization of the neural linker, the Empire broke through the new wormhole technology. Not only did the time required to pass through the wormhole greatly shorten, but the energy used to maintain the stability of the wormhole was reduced by more than half.

Based on this technology, the Empire also developed a short-distance wormhole system for use on planets.

Through the powerful computing power of the new computer, the Empire can now calculate the new coordinates of the wormhole in real time, which makes it possible to open a wormhole on a planet with high-speed rotation.

The capacity of this new short-distance wormhole is very small, most of which are only the size of a truck. All the colonies on this planet can be connected through this wormhole, greatly shortening the time required to cross two cities!

Not only that, going from the surface of the planet to space has also changed from the original use of spacecraft and orbital elevators to direct use of wormholes.

From the wormhole transfer stations in various cities on the ground, the citizens of the Empire who need to go to space can directly pass through the wormhole to reach the space station.

The new mode of transportation has once again improved the efficiency of the Empire's operation. The connection between factory clusters no longer requires spacecraft, but can directly and conveniently reach the factory on the other side of the planet through the wormhole transfer station built in the factory.

In addition, a new reactor has also been manufactured in the laboratory. This new reactor is a special reactor based on dimensional technology, which can directly cause the material to collapse in dimension to obtain energy!

Whether it is a diamond or a stone on the roadside, as long as it is thrown into the reactor, the reactor can convert it into huge energy, and finally the reactor will spit out these materials to collapse into a two-dimensional image.

However, the output energy of this reactor depends on the density and mass of the material put into it. The greater the density and mass of the material, the more energy the reactor can provide!

This new reactor makes it possible for the Empire's wormhole transfer station to work normally without the need to build a stellar energy extraction device or a huge supporting power plant.

Each transfer station only needs to add a reactor component that is less than 50% of its own volume to work stably!

Not only that, the Empire's warships can also be equipped with more powerful weapons and use more equipment that originally consumed unacceptable amounts of energy.

The time for the Empire's warships to travel in hyperspace has also been greatly extended, and they have to jump out of hyperspace to store energy after traveling for a period of time.

This reactor has also eliminated many of the Empire's original power plants. Now this reactor that can generate energy by putting in stones can be built on barren planets without any available resources.

The sand and stones that can be found everywhere on these planets can provide the Empire with a steady supply of energy.

In addition to energy, the Empire has also made great progress in materials science.

Originally, the Empire's strongest metal was the Ring World Metal that was cracked from the Ring World.

But now it is different. The Empire, which has enough energy, has set its sights on materials that were previously unimaginable.

In a star system 1,300 light years away from the capital of the Empire, a white dwarf is quietly hanging in the starry sky.

The ordinary planets around this white dwarf have long been swallowed by it and become a member of this white dwarf.

On the outer layer of this white dwarf, a layer of buildings similar to Dyson spheres covers the surface of this white dwarf.

These buildings are the mines used by the Empire to mine the mineral spar on the white dwarf.

The Empire used a gravity control device to shield the huge gravity generated by the entire white dwarf, making it possible to build buildings on its surface.

The high temperature on its surface has also been isolated by the Empire with a stand, and the equipment for cutting minerals on the surface of the white dwarf is no longer a simple laser.

A device called a stand cutter directly separates spherical stone balls from the surface of the white dwarf through the stand.

This stone ball will be processed into a special mineral ball without any high temperature and gravity through processes such as cooling and isolating gravity.

The Empire will have special mines to further process these mineral balls, and directly use the stand to slowly shape them.

In one year, this new Xinjing stone can be used to make the accessories needed by the Empire.

This extracted spar has a very high density, and its strength far exceeds the Empire's ring world metal!

Even if the original Empire could successfully mine this mineral, it could not use it at all, let alone make it into the outer armor of warships, because the energy required to maintain this layer of armor without generating gravity is too huge, far beyond the original reactor of the Empire's warships!

Therefore, the Empire did not dare to put this material into use until the Empire's new dimensional reactor was developed.

For warships forged with the spar extracted from this white dwarf, 70% of the reactor's energy output must be used to maintain the harmless state of this armor.

Once the energy supply is cut off, these warships equipped with white dwarf spar armor will absorb all surrounding objects to themselves, just like the Empire's super weapon gravity shells, and integrate these things with themselves!

However, it must be said that this also makes the Empire's warships have a way of suicide attack for no reason.

This terrible characteristic also forced the Empire to modify the distance between warships in the textbooks of all Imperial Officers Academy. Any warship must maintain a safe distance to prevent being destroyed and affecting other surrounding Imperial warships!
