The greatest thing about Qin Shihuang was not the construction of the Great Wall, but the "unification of weights and measures". In today's parlance, it is "standardization."
As for the importance of standardization, we will not talk about complicated sentences. You will understand with a simple example. For example, in catering, the key to why McDonald's, KFC, and Wallace's chain stores can open all over the country is standardization. It is even exaggerated to say that you can make food not delicious, but you must standardize it.
For those who run restaurants, the biggest fear is that what you cook today will have one flavor, and tomorrow it will have another flavor. Generally, repeat customers come back because they recognized the taste of your first time. If you don't bring him the same taste as the first time, then there is a high probability that he will not come again.
As for the taste, it is very subjective. What you think is delicious may not taste good in other people's mouths. People are still debating whether tofu is more delicious than sweet or salty. There is no standard for "deliciousness", but it can be achieved without changing the taste. As long as the food process you make is detailed and standardized enough, the food you make will basically have the same taste every time.
It doesn't matter if you say it's not delicious and you can't retain customers, because doing business in the market is a kind of screening behavior. What can be left behind are people who recognize your taste. As long as you can keep the taste unchanged through standardization, you can get regular repeat customers. There is no standardized catering, and a catering that relies entirely on the chef's free play to determine the taste of the dishes is bound to close down and not be successful.
The storage rings of the Mu family are handmade one by one by the master craftsmen. It can almost be said that each one is a unique masterpiece. It is difficult to find two that are exactly the same. This approach has the advantage that unique products occasionally appear, but the shortcomings are also obvious and cannot be mass-produced. It cannot meet large-scale demand, but fortunately, there are only a few cultivators after all, so there is no need for large-scale mass production.
But it is different at Yue Hong. Under the premise of successful development of the curvature engine, once they achieve cost control, they can achieve mass production and put it into the market. After all, the main consumer group that the curvature engine spacecraft will meet in the future is not immortal cultivators. But for ordinary mortals, this determines that they must mass produce on a large scale.
But drivers are also a problem they will face in the future. They must master the technology of how to use instruments to perceive and respond to changes in spatial curvature. Of course, these are all things for later. There are still many difficulties to overcome before the curvature engine spacecraft can be put on the market. But it’s still the same sentence, “It’s hard to pass every pass, and it’s hard to stay up night after night.” One step at a time, isn’t this how humans have come to today step by step? So don’t rush and just let nature take its course.
To sum up, regarding standardization, we often say: "A process without results is nothing; but a result without a process cannot be copied." Standardization solves the problem of copying. The reason why McDonald's, KFC, and Wallace are successful is because they have successfully established standardized processes. We must remember that with a good process, bad people cannot do bad things, but with a bad process, good people cannot do good things. A process designed by a genius must be executed by a fool, but a process designed by a fool cannot be executed by a genius.
So back to the curvature engine.
In the vast universe, the distance between stars is calculated in light years, so to fly across the sea of stars, you must fly at the speed of light as the ultimate goal. However, we all know that objects with rest mass cannot reach the speed of light.
To make an object with rest mass move, energy must be input to it, and the energy that needs to be input is directly proportional to the mass of the object. As the speed of an object increases, an inertial mass will be generated. Inertial mass and gravitational mass are equivalent. The faster an object moves, the greater its inertial mass, and the greater the energy input required to continue accelerating. According to the mass-energy equation, when an object reaches the speed of light, its inertial mass will increase to infinity, and To accelerate an object of infinite mass to the speed of light, infinite energy must be input to it
The universe is limited, and the energy in the universe is also limited. Therefore, without infinite energy in the universe, it is naturally impossible to accelerate objects to the speed of light.
From this point of view, it seems that no driving method can help us fly across the stars and the sea. Is it possible that we can only be trapped in the solar system? Not really. Curvature drive is fine.
The curvature engine not only allows the spacecraft to fly at the speed of light, but can even exceed the speed of light. It can also exceed the speed of light several times without violating the principle of the fastest speed of light.
We have said before that space and time are an indivisible whole, so we often call them space-time. The high degree of curvature of space represents the high degree of curvature of time, so the time of an object will flow extremely slowly. Compared with For areas outside curved space-time, this object can reach or even exceed the speed of light.
General relativity believes that the essence of gravity is the curvature of space and time. The greater the mass of an object, the greater the gravity, and the greater the curvature of surrounding space and time. Therefore, objects within the range of the earth's gravity will move quickly towards the earth. This is Realistic presentation of space curvature
The closer to the earth, the greater the curvature of space-time, so there is a significant difference in the speed of time passing on the earth's surface and in low-Earth orbit. Therefore, navigation satellites operating in earth orbit must perform time accuracy in real time, otherwise the navigation position will be There is an error of 14 meters every 24 hours. This is the reality of time warping.
This is the principle of the curvature engine. By changing the space-time structure before and after the spacecraft, the spacecraft moves forward at high speed. Since the super-light movement of the spacecraft is achieved through the curvature of space-time, this is not inconsistent with the principle of the fastest speed of light.
But as we said before, it is only possible to achieve faster than the speed of light when the power level of "human beings" reaches at least the sixth dimension. At present, human research on curvature engines is still at the very preliminary stage 3.5. Compared with the final peak version of the warp engine, there is a complete gap between the rough and tumble savages and the well-dressed modern business elites. Yue Hong and the others still have a long way to go, and mortal civilization also has a long way to go, but it doesn't matter, as long as we bravely take the first step forward, keep going, and never give up. , this is the most important

After the Longyuan flew out of Kyoto, it did not fly straight towards southern Xinjiang. Instead, it hovered over a place outside Kyoto. Below was the Little Kunlun Secret Realm. At this moment, there was a group of people below. Waiting
Ye Feng will naturally not forget Xiao Wu
But this moment is the problem.
