Curvature Bubble No. 2 is about to arrive at the target area.
It is already July of the 20th year of the new century, and there are still more than two years until the ten-year gathering plan is completed.
In the communication hall, everyone was waiting silently.
Curvature Bubble No. 1 reached the target area at ten times the speed of light, but the curvature bubble was not destroyed.
A few months ago, the exploration ship arrived at the coordinate point and found that there was indeed a wormhole at the location. At the same time, the exploration ship did not receive the reward in the screening mechanism. Many people felt that Tang Zhe'an's screening mechanism might be wrong.
However, some people support the screening mechanism proposed by Tang Zhe'an. The key to verifying the existence of this mechanism actually lies in the No. 2 curvature bubble.
If the curvature navigation at five times the speed of light really has this screening mechanism, then there will definitely be a reaction. Even if it is not directly destroyed, other changes can also be observed.
"I feel very complicated."
A group of high-level government officials all came to the scene. They looked at the screen with serious faces. Although there were still more than ten minutes before the curvature bubble reached its target position, it was obvious that they were not in the mood to talk and each seemed preoccupied.
The screening mechanism proposed by Tang Zhe'an is actually very logical, especially when Lu Yuanming told senior officials and experts about the pastoral era, the age of gods, and the golden age that Ace mentioned. In this calculation of the history of cosmic civilization, , if the golden race can really fight against the corpse civilization of the gods, then the possibility of this screening mechanism appearing is as high as 80 to 90%.
The most important thing is that if there is a screening mechanism, it means that human beings will face countless wars and deaths in the future. At the same time, they will also receive the rewards left by the golden civilization because of the screening mechanism, which will increase the hope for mankind. opportunity.
This is the mood of these senior executives now.
But at this time, Tang Zhe'an, who proposed the screening mechanism, was not present. He seemed to have gone to the world of Xian Xia Preface, looking careless and not worried at all.
"Sixty seconds countdown."
As time passed, the countdown began to count down to the last sixty seconds left, and everyone looked more and more focused. But just when the countdown had just reached fifty-one seconds, on the screen representing the dual-particle quantum entanglement communication device On the ground, circles of inexplicable ripples suddenly appeared.
As the ripples spread, the entire screen disintegrated inch by inch, and at the same time, all the structural lines connected to the screen began to disintegrate.
Naturally, there were security personnel at the scene, and they were about to step forward to protect or overwhelm the high-level dignitaries. However, before they could do anything, the ripples disappeared suddenly, and at the same time, the disintegrating mechanical structure also stopped. Except for some sparks, there were still some sparks. Indiscriminate shooting, nothing unusual can be seen at the scene.
Except for the security personnel and experts at the scene who were organizing firefighting and disaster relief, Lu Yuanming and the senior management remained silent. After the situation was under control, Lu Yuanming asked: "Can we confirm the situation of the second test spacecraft now?" How about it?"
Naturally, there were experts on site to confirm the situation, and soon the expert team gave the answer. The dual-particle quantum entanglement communicator was currently damaged, and they needed urgent repairs before they could confirm the situation.
Lu Yuanming and many senior executives did not leave. They were waiting in the communication hall, and they did not wait long. These instruments were all standardized and the module replacement was very fast. It took less than ten minutes to replace the damaged ones. The instruments had been largely replaced, and after the experts inspected them, they all exclaimed.
"What happened?" Lu Yuanming asked immediately.
"Impossible, the quantum entanglement state has disappeared!?"
One of the people who seemed to be the team leader pulled his hair and said: "We have created a total of six sets of twin particles. They are all high-precision instruments that are in a quantum entangled state. According to the oscillation frequency we input during creation, this kind of Entanglement is extremely difficult to break, unless you encounter a special environment similar to that around a black hole, or one of the particles is annihilated, or you know the original oscillation frequency and reverse engineer it, otherwise this kind of information level The entanglement will never be broken."
After hearing this, Lu Yuanming already understood.
It's not a big deal, it's just that science has been broken again. Anyway, it has been broken so many times, and this time is no different.
At this time, a senior executive asked: "So is it the extreme environment of the universe, or is it the work of high-tech weapons and other cosmic civilizations?"
The experts were all speechless. Lu Yuanming sighed and said: "What else could it be? The extreme environment of the universe cannot cross the network cable to hit us. This slap really hurts..."
This is actually an obvious thing. If two particles lose their quantum entanglement state, it is indeed possible in the extreme environment of the universe. However, the other party received a critical hit directly across the screen. This is already an obvious thing.
"...Input the self-destruct command to the third test spacecraft, and at the same time disconnect the two-particle quantum entanglement form." Lu Yuanming gave the order.
This kind of twin particles is very difficult to create. It can be said to be the most cutting-edge technology in human science. The scientific level involved is extremely high. Thanks to 10,300 years of calculations in the space ring and the journey to the black hole, the last one close to the event horizon Only by using close-range parameters can this miraculous creation technology be achieved.
In the words of scientists, this kind of two-particle quantum entangled state communication technology is actually beyond the control of Level 3 cosmic civilizations. Without the cosmic string information oscillation data under extreme space-time curvature, this technology cannot be achieved at all.
Human beings happen to have extreme environmental data next to the black hole's event horizon, and at the same time have an ultra-long calculation capacity of 10,300 years, so they can create this kind of communication equipment across the level of civilization.
Lu Yuanming is not clear about the specific manufacturing mechanism. He only knows that scientists use strong energy fields to simulate string information and input information into two particles in a quantum entangled state, similar to programming.
In short, this thing is very precious, and each pair of twin particles requires an extremely large amount of energy. This is not something that humans can create at will at the current level of civilization.
But no matter how precious it is, a decision must be made at this time.
"Ten times the speed of light can pass through safely, but five times the speed of light means the ship is destroyed and no one is dead. The meaning of this screening mechanism is very simple. If you are not qualified, you will be slapped, but you will not be killed. You can go back and improve your technology and civilization level before coming back."
Lu Yuanming said with a serious expression.
Just next to the communication hall, Lu Yuanming found a room and discussed the current situation with the senior officials.
"Then what if we continue to send three times the speed of light spacecraft without realizing it? According to the other party's method of coming along the network cable to attack us, I'm afraid this time it won't just be done by this machine..."
Not only Lu Yuanming looked ugly, but the other senior executives also looked ugly.
The situation just now was actually very urgent, because when the ripples appeared on the screen, what everyone saw was a mechanical collapse, that is, it was as if there were no bolts, no welding, and no metal support connections. The entire machine was torn apart. The posture spreads out directly. This is not a physical attack, explosion, or energy attack, but directly disintegrates the machine!
You must know that the interior of the moon where humans live, whether it is the storage area, residential area, or core area, is actually all mechanical structures!
If this disintegration did not stop and spread all the way to the entire moon, and even the moon would disintegrate, then humankind would be declared extinct today...
This is why Lu Yuanming ordered the destruction of the No. 3 test ship and the erasure of the entangled state of the twin particles on it.
Humans can’t afford to gamble!
"There is no doubt that Tang Zhe'an is right again. These five sets of coordinates are indeed five screening levels. The outermost screening mechanism is the speed of light. If it is less than five times the speed of light, you will be slapped. Any lower than that is probably the reason why those curvature bubble fragments exist. Yeah, beat him to death on the spot..."
When Lu Yuanming said this, he shook his head and couldn't go on.
The rabbit dies and the fox is sad...
Not only Lu Yuanming was in this state, but the senior executives sitting in the same seat were also in the same mental state.
As a civilized race that suffered the sterilization curse, it headed towards that coordinate point with the highest hope. In the end, it exhausted all the potential and strength of the race and finally obtained the energy that can activate the curvature generator. In the end, less than half of it got through. He was slapped to death.
This kind of frustration and sadness is so similar to the current situation of human beings.
However, the atmosphere only lasted for a moment, and a senior executive smiled and said: "Actually, we don't have to be so pessimistic. Thinking better, at least we can get through this level safely, and if it is really a screening mechanism, then according to Tang Zhe'an , we have 1.2 billion natural people, and at the same time, there are no mechanical ascension bodies or genetically modified bodies among us. Even if we extend our lifespan, we have not touched the genetic modification at all. Then we rush straight into the coordinate point at fifty-seven times the speed of light. You guys Said... If this mechanism does not directly escort us to the fourth-level cosmic civilization, then the reward will not be very good. "
Everyone around them laughed.
Directly send a fourth-level cosmic civilization?
This is really a dare to think about.
The higher the cosmic civilization goes, the more difficult it becomes, and the longer it takes. This is after taking into account the bonus from the Big Bang of science and technology. When you reach the third level of cosmic civilization, if there are no adventures, or if there are no adventures in the racial civilization, If the children of destiny are born continuously, it may not take thousands or tens of thousands of years to enter the fourth level of cosmic civilization.
This is that on the scale of the universe, both time and space are so long and huge that any life is hopeless.
Lu Yuanming also cheered up.
He said: "If that's the case, then why don't we fight hard? Fifty-seven times the speed of light doesn't sound good, how about sixty times the speed of light? The maximum power of the curvature generator, coupled with my cognitive acceleration, the maximum speed of light is superimposed ...If we want to play, let’s play with a big one!”
Many senior executives were stunned for a moment, and then they began to think carefully.
"...There are still more than two years left. In fact, according to the planned progress, it will be almost completed in a year and a half at most. The mothership will be built, the space fleet will be built, and the antimatter reactor will be built. But if you want to reach 60 times the speed of light, ." Someone among the senior management silently calculated, and then everyone shook their heads slightly.
Lu Yuanming naturally knew the reason.
Although they can achieve seven times the speed of light with a curvature generator now, but if they want to increase the speed of curvature navigation to ten times, the energy required by the curvature generator is at least dozens of times that of seven times the speed of light. According to human There is absolutely no way the existing antimatter reactors and the broken Dyson cloud structure can produce such a huge amount of energy in more than two years.
"It all depends on people. It's all here anyway, right?" Lu Yuanming thought for a while and said, "And I can also participate in labor, such as taking the built Dyson cloud structure directly into the orbit of the sun at near light speed?"
Several people in the senior management raised their eyebrows, and one of them immediately said: "It seems that it is really possible to use particle printing to quickly create a Dyson cloud structure, and then shoot it directly to a fixed orbit without transporting it? This seems to be very efficient."
"Actually, you don't need to use near-light speed, just use the most economical one-tenth of the speed of light. The distance within a galaxy is luxurious with a near-light speed platform..."
The senior executives began to discuss it in a flurry of discussions.
Ever since, in the next ten years of development, all operators working in outer space have seen a wonder of the universe.
On the parking platform of the mothership shell, which is almost completed, a huge conveyor belt continuously transports umbrella-shaped structures from the inside to the outside, and Lu Yuanming is standing next to this conveyor belt. When a structure arrives, it is slapped, and then this The structure fell straight into the universe at an incredible speed and disappeared, and then there was the next one, and the next one...
In just two years, people working in space suddenly discovered that the broken Dyson Cloud seemed much larger and more complete, but it shouldn’t be. The Dyson Cloud itself was meant to be given up, and there was no way to pack it up and take it away. , who will repair it? And how could it be repaired so quickly?
Naturally, it is impossible for the government to release any information on this, because it involves a screening mechanism, and it is naturally impossible for the public to know.
And time passed in such final busyness. In the month when the ten-year gathering plan was completed, Lu Yuanming listened to the curvature test results, and he could only sigh in the end.
"...Can it still only reach nine times the speed of light?"
This has really reached the limit. According to calculations, to go from nine times the speed of light to the ultimate ten times the speed of light, the energy required directly increases dozens of times, which is equivalent to the area of the current Dyson Cloud structure needing to expand dozens of times. …
But there is really nothing we can do. Human beings can no longer waste time at this last double the speed of light.
On the same day that the ten-year life gathering plan was completed, the government issued an announcement of the Great Expedition Plan.
Three days later, human civilization...
Set sail towards hope! .
