Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 535 Curvature Engine
Zhong Cheng didn't boast too much, because he had already heard the news that Ye Wenxin's team was about to make a breakthrough.

Fortunately, Ye Wenxin did not disappoint him, and finally discovered and confirmed the existence of Yuanli Field three months later, making the "deep space fleet" promised by the people of the Federation Zhong Cheng become a reality.

The so-called deep space fleet is different from the space fleet flying in the inner space of the star system, it is a more advanced armed force that can sail between the star systems.

Its sign is that it must have the ability to travel faster than the speed of light, otherwise the distance between star systems calculated in light years is an insurmountable gap.

The abnormal situation of the remnants of the demon clan made Zhong Cheng restless!

The demons have integrated the power of the four intelligent races in the solar system, and combined the advantages of each race, the potential and speed of development are not necessarily slower than the federation.

According to the information collected and analyzed from Yixun City after the war, the former Imperial Industrial Science and Technology personnel headed by Hans and his son and Dr. Martin's genetic technology team were all taken away by Sargeras.

Coupled with the artificial intelligence of the Forsaken, and the powerful reproductive evolution ability of the Zerg, the powerful spiritual power of Xel'Naga.

Finally, coupled with Sargeras' commanding ability, the new devourer civilization is a freak. They combine technological civilization and cultivation civilization, and even artificial intelligence civilization.

To what extent the devourer civilization will eventually develop, one can imagine from the name that it must be the enemy of all other life races.

Perhaps humanity unleashed a group of real demons for other civilizations or races of life in the galaxy.

For the future safety of mankind, extinguishing the Devourer civilization before it grows stronger has become the most important thing for the Federation at present.

Only one month after the breakthrough of the concept of grand unification, in January 2054.

The curvature engine research team led by Zhong Xin achieved success and completed the simulation experiment of the curvature engine in the Taixu experimental system.

This is the result of long-term accumulation and a natural result. It has been nearly 30 years since Zhong Cheng established the curvature engine research team of Kunlun Research Institute.

Zhong Xin has also joined this team for 20 years, and he has replaced Lorna as the team leader for eight years.

Before that, they had actually made some substantial progress.

Five years ago, Zhong Xin and his colleagues created a small curvature-driven device called a "curvature field interferometer" in the laboratory. Simply put, it basically uses a beam of laser light to trigger the movement of space-time on a microscopic scale. distortion.

Curvature field interferometers have been successful, realizing the distortion of space, but they cannot be explained from physical theory.

Moreover, progress in using space warping to accelerate aircraft has been slow, and experimental aircraft can only be accelerated to a degree close to the speed of light.

However, the energy consumed to accelerate an experimental aircraft weighing less than one ton requires ten super-large Suihuang nuclear fusion reaction generator sets to provide, which has no practical value at all.

Zhong Xin never gave up. Through a lot of experiments and deduction, he determined that the direction of the curvature engine is correct, but the current physical theory's interpretation of space is wrong.

To obtain a correct understanding of space, it is necessary to simulate and deduce through ultra-high-energy particle collisions.

Since then, he has become the most staunch supporter of the construction of the Very Large Hadron Collider.

Zhong Xin has played a vital role in this human technological revolution.

It was he who provided the idea. After the VLCC was put into use, Ye Wenxin and other talents discovered and confirmed the Yuan Force Field in just two years. The space phenomenon is the external manifestation of the Yuan Force Field.

Soon, Zhong Xin's curvature engine research team improved their curvature field interferometer by using the theory of meta force field.

Changed the way of using laser beams to trigger space-time distortion, and changed it to directly use the interaction of electromagnetic field and element force field to achieve the effect of space distortion or even folding.

The energy consumption of the new curvature field interferometer is only one-thousandth of the original one, and it has successfully accelerated the aircraft to twice the speed of light in the Taixu experimental system.

The curvature engine technology works in theory!

When Zhong Cheng received the news, he was very pleasantly surprised. He ordered Zhong Xin's team to rush to Yinghuo City on Mars, and use the most advanced starship base here to manufacture the first space battleship flying faster than the speed of light.

And ordered Zhao Wei, Gui Bin, Liu Hang and others to provide full cooperation.

2054 1 Month 23 Day.

Zhong Cheng held a remote video conference to discuss the manufacturing technology of super-light space battleships.

Participants included key members of the Kunlun Research Institute and space vehicle design experts from the Red Star Ship Manufacturing Group.

This new type of space battleship is just a test sample ship, used to verify that the curvature engine drives the space battleship to fly faster than the speed of light.

The specific warship designers are not very clear about what will happen to a space battleship flying at 2 times or even 10 times the speed of light, and what impact it will have on the battleship hull and the crew on board.

If they don't figure it out, they can't design a faster-than-light space battleship.

Because according to the theory of relativity, when the object reaches or approaches the speed of light, what relativistic effects in terms of time and space will occur.

If the moving object approaches the speed of light, time will slow down and the distance in space will change.

If the moving object is equal to the speed of light, the time will become 0, and the space distance will become 0.

If a moving object exceeds the speed of light, time will flow backwards, and space itself will become something like time.

Among them, time is relativistic time, and space is only the space of moving objects.

In the last case, once the moving object exceeds the speed of light:
First, for example, if you are going to travel, you should start first and then arrive, but because the speed of light exceeds the speed of light, as if time is reversed, you will arrive first and then leave.

Since this is against causality, it cannot happen.

Second, the essence of time and space is the same. If time is measured with imaginary numbers, the difference between time and space will disappear completely.

Once the speed of light is surpassed, it is equivalent to rotating a space-time coordinate system established on a plane 90 degrees clockwise, and no one knows what the result will be. It is equivalent to turning the ruler into a clock and turning the clock into a ruler at the same time.

Third, if the speed of light is exceeded, a considerable amount of energy will be released, large enough to make matter itself disappear.

The reason light can reach the speed of light is that the rest mass of light is zero.

Existing physics theories have left warship designers at a loss as to how a space warship could travel faster than the speed of light.

Zhong Cheng convened this video conference to allow experts from the Kunlun Research Institute to explain the latest basic physical theory and space theory to them.

After the breakthrough of the grand unified theory, it is not an easy task to form a new physical system and be backward compatible with classical physical theories so as not to collapse the existing scientific system.

Therefore, at present, the new theory is not known to the world except for the experts of the Kunlun Research Institute who specialize in this field.

As the inventor of the new curvature engine, Zhong Xin is responsible for the explanation.

He explained this complicated issue clearly in a few simple words.

First of all, Zhong Xin emphasized that the theory of relativity in the classical physical theory has not failed in the new physical theory. In the three-dimensional space-time we live in, the speed of light is still unsurpassed.

The discovery of the elemental force field only allowed human beings to understand the essence of space for the first time, and thus discovered the four-dimensional space.

The super-light space battleship uses the four-dimensional space to achieve the transcendence of the speed of light. In the three-dimensional space, it is still impossible to exceed the speed of light.
