Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

After all, the hyperspace network is one of the most important means of transportation in the star sea.

The 'natural disasters' that occurred in it have to be taken seriously by all civilizations.

No one wants to encounter this kind of thing, and researching prevention methods is a matter of course.

All major civilizations have basically conducted research on this aspect.

Basically, we design a series of observation equipment to prevent and avoid in advance.

but.

The technology of 'hyperspace detection' is relatively difficult.

'Hyperspace storm protection', that's even more head-scratching.

It's not something that just anyone can easily master.

Even Su Wen directly used the technology obtained from the Fei tribe's core database for prevention.

——It is too expensive to develop hyperspace storm protection technology yourself.

He could afford to burn the money, but he didn't want to burn it at all.

We can only engage in borrowingism.

As for the locals here in the Haijin Star Territory...

...All right.

This is a technology that Su Wendu finds difficult and expensive.

Naturally, they are like mice dragging the turtle behind, unable to speak.

But let's be honest.

The reason why the hyperspace storm that occurred during the 'Great Collapse Era' was able to bring huge harm to all civilizations in the Haijin Star Territory is that they are still in a state of confusion and find it difficult to recover from the past disasters.

It’s not just because of their low technical level and inability to deal with it.

The main reason is that this hyperspace storm, which according to historical records ended more than 15,000 years ago at the latest, is obviously not something that should happen under normal circumstances:

——It’s so big!

——It lasted too long!

"...covering the hyperspace network that can be jumped to from all areas within a radius of more than two hundred light years,

And the duration...the earliest observation in unofficial history can be said to be more than 30,000 years ago? "

Su Wen looked at this part of the record with surprise.

"Doesn't it mean that for almost 20,000 years, the entire Haijin Star Territory was almost completely covered by this hyperspace storm?

All hyperspace passage navigation is cut off;

And all the separatist forces are completely sealed in the material universe?

this..."

...No matter how you think about it, this is a bit outrageous!

"Are there any similar records in the empire's database?"

Su Wen turned his head and looked at Guang Hui sitting next to him.

"Regardless of whether there is any solid evidence, it is just an interstellar rumor."

"...No, there is nothing similar in the database."

Hear Su Wen’s question.

A burst of white light flashed in the glorious lake blue eyes.

It only took less than half a minute to complete the screening of 'all known hyperspace storm records'.

"That said, this is indeed an isolated case,"

Su Wen touched his chin and frowned.

"It's still a very abnormal and isolated case..."

..

No wonder he was suspicious.

Mainly because this is too abnormal:

Hyperspace storm, that’s why it’s named storm.

Just because they are really like storms.

As quickly as it comes, it goes as quickly as it comes.

According to the records in the database.

Whether within the empire, it was directly observed through various means.

Or from the Fire Reef Star Territory, Tianyuan Star Territory, and Fei Clan Star Territory,

Even judging from the data inherited from the ancient Suzheng civilization that created the system.

All the records related to hyperspace storms that Su Wen received from the above-mentioned camps,

No single storm lasted more than a year.

In fact, most storms appear and disappear within a day.

The coverage range is within one or two light years at most.

This 'squall' type of storm is the most common recorded.

accounting for more than 80% of the total.

As for the duration...

If not counting a single time.

However, there are many places where "on and off for dozens or hundreds of years" may occur.

This is already an exaggeration.

It belongs to the standard 'hyperspace storm prone area'.

All ships sailing through the webway in nearby star fields,

As long as you don't want to die, or you're not here to get insurance.

You have to go around this hyperspace.

But for tens of thousands of years, there really isn’t.

No matter how severe a storm is, there will always be a certain amount of time for the storm to weaken.

They appear unstable, but usually subside for years or even decades once they appear.

It is precisely because of this.

Sudden appearance, sudden disappearance, recurring and elusive characteristics.

That's why many interstellar civilizations are so confused about this ghost thing.

There is simply no way to effectively prevent it.

But now this.

A hyperspace storm that can continue in a fixed area and even last for at least 10,000 years, and probably close to 20,000 years...

Compare the two sides.

This is completely out of the same order of magnitude!

——Is this really normal?

..

One day versus twenty thousand years;

The radius is two light years, and the contrast radius is two to three hundred light years.

This is really not an order of magnitude thing.

Compared with this 'abnormally huge hyperspace storm' that occurred in the Haijin Star Domain more than 10,000 years ago.

All similar disasters that have occurred in other star fields are not considered disasters.

The former is the heavy rain that lasts for several months during the rainy season in the Amazon rainforest basin.

So the latter was at best... a naughty kid stood behind the balcony railing and peed downstairs.

Such a terrible and terrible disaster happened in the Haijin Star Territory.

It’s no wonder why local civilization has never developed:

Hyperspace network channel is already the most useful and affordable one among so many FTL methods.

none of them.

This is the consensus that most civilizations in the entire endless sea of ​​​​stars, from the fallen fathers to the rookies in the star field, will agree with.

In addition to it, whether it is 'Star Gate Teleportation', 'Space Jump', or 'Wormhole Jump'...

...or even other technologies.

Whether it is difficulty level, cost consumption, industrial level requirements, or usage condition restrictions.

They are much higher than the hyperspace network.

It is simply not something that ordinary civilization can care about.

And this kind of good and cheap thing was destroyed by an 'eternal storm' of ridiculous scale.

That is equivalent to, during these tens of thousands of years,

The natives of the Haijin Star Region were directly banned from FTL navigation.

Suddenly returned to the sub-light speed range.

Even setting off to the 'next door galaxy' two light years away would take almost three years of sailing.

This can only be sustained by using a dormant warehouse.

As for those further away...

If not, we will have to go to the "ship-based biosphere" and engage in "generational voyages".

——Who can withstand this!

This is like banning the global Internet, banning mobile communications, banning telephone and wireless telegraphy overnight.

If we go back to the era of wired telegraph, post office, and even flying pigeons to deliver letters, long-distance communication is possible...

For modern people, it is almost like dreaming back to the Stone Age.

Even if modern people talk about 'slow life' and 'anti-impetuousness' every day,

It would really drive people crazy if they were allowed to go back and live such a slow life.

..

Losing the means of faster-than-light navigation will have an extremely negative impact on the development of civilization.

In the home of Yusan Technology,

Although 'Transportation' is second to 'Energy' and 'Materials', it ranks at the bottom.

It doesn’t look very impressive.

The style doesn't seem to be high enough.

But since it can outperform all other fields of science and technology, it ranks among the three royal families.

It itself shows that its importance is also unparalleled.

Once traffic efficiency is reduced and navigation time is significantly lengthened,

The development speed of all civilizations in the entire star field will have to be reduced accordingly.

Especially the blow to the 'economic and trade' field is simply catastrophic.

..

Hyperspace navigation cannot be directly compared with sublight navigation in the material universe.

After all, it also involves quite troublesome issues such as 'different proportional conversions of distances in the material universe in different hyperspace regions and hyperspace distances'...

Many times, the hyperspace entrance of the starting star system and the hyperspace exit of the target star field are in different locations.

In addition, when the fleet is traveling long distances in hyperspace,

In order to avoid dangerous terrains such as 'hyperspace storms', 'space holes', and 'discontinuous faults' that appear randomly,

There are also inevitable twists and turns, which will naturally lead to faster and slower speeds.

...but even so.

Its efficiency is still many times higher than that of sublight navigation in the physical universe.

The latter is locked in the limit of '<30 kilometers/second', and compared with the former, it is like a tortoise taking a walk.

He has to be regarded as an old turtle who unfortunately suffers from rheumatoid arthritis.

The Fire Reef Starfield Joint Exploration Team, who have fought to the death in the solar system, must be very touched by this:

It only took them more than a month to set sail from the Fire Reef Star Domain and arrive at the 'Hyperspace Channel Interruption Zone' near the solar system.

That's all because I jumped in and out repeatedly along the way.

In many galaxies along the way, you constantly meet team members from various civilizations.

And along the way, they recruit mercenaries, engage in trade, and even stay in some gold selling caves for a few days to do happy things...

The time spent simply traveling in hyperspace may be less than a week.

It is equivalent to cruising at full speed for one week in hyperspace, spanning more than fifty light years in the physical universe.

On the contrary, it is the last section of the road.

Jump out from the end of the channel and head towards the blue star.

It was only a few light years away and it took nearly two years to sail.

——It is conceivable that if an interstellar civilization completely loses its FTL means, it will collapse.

Trade was cut off and the transportation system collapsed.

All production, life, scientific research, and military fields that rely on the above behaviors are all dead.
