The slipstream is a narrowly-focused, directed warp field that is initiated by manipulating the fabric of the space-time continuum at the quantum level. It works by focusing a quantum field through a deflector dish to generate massive changes in local space curvature; this creates a subspace tunnel, which is projected in front of the vessel. Once a ship has entered this tunnel, the forces inside propel it at incredible speed. In order to maintain the slipstream a ship has to constantly modify the quantum field with its deflector dish; however, the calculations involved are too complicated, and the time available too short, for current Starfleet technology.
来自MA的解释
大致含义如下:滑流是一种通过在量子级别改变时空连续统一体的构造来产生高度集中的,定向的曲速场。它的工作原理是是通过偏导仪盘聚焦量子场来急剧改变局部空间曲率;从而产生一道在飞船前端投射出的子空间通道。一旦飞船进入此通道,其内在推动力就能极速推进飞船。为了维持滑流状态,非船必须不停的用偏导仪修改量子场;但是,就目前星际舰队的科研水平,其所需计算太过复杂,而且持续航行时间过短。
10楼的形容很确切
