Chapter 261: Warp Drive Technology Nanoengineering technology, the unlocking of this technical knowledge has enabled Fanren to understand the new direction of nanotechnology development in the future. As a technology that is currently widely used in human civilization, nanoengineering can not only produce nano-coats that allow carbon-based organisms to live in harsh cosmic environments and adapt to frequent space activities. Moreover, in the medical field, nanoscience and technology also play a huge role in increasing the lifespan of carbon-based life. For example, up to now, humans have been able to increase the overall average human life expectancy by a full 70 years through the use of nanomedical technology. Not only that, nanotechnology and the last emerging quantum engineering can be combined in future scientific research fields. For example, by precisely controlling quantum dots at the nanoscale, quantum bits can be prepared and manipulated. This is also the prerequisite for studying quantum computing itself. Although the demand for computer computing power is not strong at present, Fan Ren can fully predict it. As time went on, humans set foot on rocky planets such as Venus Base, Mercury Base, Io Base, and began to collect minerals.
With the establishment of metal refining, processing and other factories near these bases, it is necessary to ensure harmonious connection between these projects and minimize waste of resources and duplication of projects. There are only two ways. One is to use A-Dai's photon computer to manage and operate the entire project. The other way is to rely on the huge computing power of human computers to avoid these problems as much as possible. Now, with the analysis of these two disciplines, humanity's subsequent research and development work on quantum computers will be much smoother. It took Fan Ren nearly a day to thoroughly digest and absorb this information, and he finally set his sights on the jump engine technology unlocked by space science. It takes no effort at all! A long time ago, Fan Ren had always had some complaints about this kind of technological classification that seemed to have made no contribution to him or the development of human civilization. But as humans become more and more involved in space, and after a series of discoveries such as the Conqueror, battles with the Hans civilization expeditionary force, and involvement in various matters of the Galactic Alliance, Fan Ren gradually discovered that the system's technological unlocking is generally unlocked along with his understanding of each technology. There seemed to be a pair of huge hands on the other side, pulling him and human civilization back to the ancient times, the connection between the existence of pre-human civilization. Now, as humanity's demand for intergalactic space travel grows ever deeper, jump engine technology, a technological product that is not expensive in the star market but must be used on warships on a large scale, has also been unlocked. It has to be said that this mysterious spark of civilization seems to be pushing him and human civilization deeper into space. But at the same time, this will also bring another problem. Jump engine technology exists as a criterion for judging a Level 4 civilization. So if today's human civilization were to openly use this technology, would it attract the covetousness of other civilizations? Fan Ren closed his eyes, his sharp brows slightly wrinkled. Although his mind was absorbing the technical information of the jump engine, he devoted a small part of his energy to analyzing this matter. It is undeniable that this product is cheaper than afterburners, spacecraft armor repairers and many other ship equipment. Although it is cheap, it is an essential equipment for galaxy navigation for a short period of time, and its sales in the star market are extremely large. Judging from the development of the Galaxy Alliance, precisely because of the low price, this device has reached a penetration rate of 99% in the ships of the Galaxy Alliance's second-level civilizations and above. Only a very small number of spacecraft responsible for flying between the ground and the air will not deliberately install this propulsion system. What can be inferred is that human civilization will also follow this development path in the future. After all, compared to sailing billions of kilometers that takes several days, or even more than a month for super-large ships, the jump engine is a device that can move at superluminal speeds at a fixed point within a galaxy. This will certainly facilitate space development, there is no doubt about that.
Just from the performance of Fox and Mail on the way to Sirius Prime, it can be observed that the current way of human beings relying solely on conventional propulsion to navigate within the galaxy is really difficult for the intelligent creatures of the Galactic Alliance to get used to and accept. From this, we can also infer that the jump engine has an astonishing sales volume in the star domain market. Moreover, because it can only be manufactured at level four and five, there are currently very few civilizations that possess this kind of technological product. This also brings another problem, which is the lack of competition! After all, compared to the huge market of hundreds of millions of civilizations in the entire Galactic Alliance, the output of their small number of level 4 and 5 civilizations is insignificant. Fan Ren even knew that it was precisely because of insufficient production that the output of the jump engine would first be appropriately distributed to the various arms of the Milky Way. Subsequently, further appropriate quotas will be made among the star fields on the cantilever based on the needs of each star field. This is why Fan Ren could directly purchase this kind of equipment in the star market of Sirius Prime. It is because of the existence of the Sirius civilization in this star field that the war crisis is not serious among other civilizations within the time range of Alpha Centauri as the circle star, as they are all in resource difficulties. For example, the number of fleets of the Hans civilization, taking battleships as an example, was only over 100,000. Even if other types of ships are included, the total number of ships is only about one million. This number level is pitifully small compared to the hundreds of years it took to enter the second-level civilization. But Fanren knew that the Hans civilization currently had a large number of empty ships of various types in the dock. They were waiting for the arrival of all the required equipment before they would install and debug the entire ship, and finally ship out of the factory and be equipped to the troops. But the problem is that the resources of the Hans civilization have been exhausted, which has resulted in the lack of conditions to purchase equipment for these subsequent airships. This phenomenon currently seems to be a common occurrence among the other seven second-level civilizations in this star field. As a result, the sales of jump engines in this star field are mediocre, and there is always excess stock available for sale. But that’s fine too. As he thought about it, Fan Ren couldn't help but smile. (End of this chapter)
