Chapter 1448 Unique Techniques for Dealing with Debt Defaulters

Oh, if we're talking about unique technologies, then it's outside of human civilization.

Different civilizations have reacted differently to the fact that human civilizations have not announced their success in their own unique technological fields.

The Silverheart Civilization is very cunning; they remain silent on everything.

The Abyss Civilization and the Kroll Civilization believe that human civilization has degenerated to the same level as ordinary Level 6 civilizations.

The Divine Civilization and the Awakeners would check on human civilization every few days, even reassuring us that ordinary methods would work just as well.

In response, in order not to worry these two civilizations that were most friendly to them, human civilization told them that their situation was somewhat special and that they did not need to worry too much.

Of course, he also told Daya Civilization, his loyal little brother.

Human civilization is indeed quite special, because as early as the sixth level of civilization, human civilization already had experience in dealing with quantum tides; otherwise, the Tianqin spacecraft would not have been able to possess the ability to jump between microscopic and higher dimensions.

After entering the microscopic high-dimensional realm, the Tianqin spacecraft used quantum tides as the wind to propel itself to the predetermined exit, thus achieving a macroscopic leap.

Therefore, what all other civilizations see as a challenge to resist—the quantum tide—is nothing to human civilization. One reason why human civilization has taken so long to announce its success is that once it does, it means it has complete control over the system.

But it's best not to say this outright, lest other civilizations have their eyes on it.

The second reason is that research teams in human civilization seem to have discovered the secret here and want to kill two birds with one stone: while intercepting and utilizing vacuum zero-point energy, they also want to explore further and develop a device that can turn quantum tides into usable energy.

If we take a two-pronged approach and succeed, it will definitely take off.

Over the years, various scientific research teams in human civilization have been dedicated to this, but unexpectedly, the Feiyu civilization actually managed to come up with a conventional method.

However, we cannot abandon our unique technologies, as this is the guarantee that human civilization will remain a unique technological civilization even after it becomes a cosmic-level civilization.

Therefore, even after the Feiyu civilization produced its results, the human research team continued their work.

More than a thousand years passed before human civilization finally found a two-pronged approach.

"We don't need to pay off any debts. Quantum tides are sweeping in from the microscopic dimension. We can utilize them just like we propelled the Tianqin spacecraft back then. It's a power given by the underlying mechanism of the universe. Once our research succeeds, we can overtake all other civilizations."

The speaker was Long Xinglv. Even after all these years, he still stands at the forefront of science with vigor, leading human civilization to break through the unknown and step by step reach new scientific heights.

This is a science and technology symposium within human civilization, also taking place in a virtual venue. The Dragon Star Travel Station will first summarize the progress made this year on the podium, followed by presentations from various research teams.

"Yes, we've found a way. At least the theoretical reasoning is sound. As long as we can build the corresponding artifacts according to plan and complete the verification experiments, we can directly announce that we have mastered the zero-point energy of the vacuum."

"Look, this is a partial demonstration of the effect. The actual structure is extremely complex. Even for experimental purposes, it might still take us tens of thousands of years to complete it."

As Long Xinglv explained, he showed concept images to all the scientists present. Everyone stared intently at the holographic screen.

The holographic screen displays things that ordinary people cannot understand, such as microscopic six-dimensional anatomical diagrams and various labeled parameters, which leaves 99% of people completely baffled.

As he spoke, Long Xinglv waved his hand, and the microscopic six-dimensional spaces on the screen multiplied from one to two, two to four, four to eight, and so on, until they filled the entire holographic screen in no time.

Following this, with the assistance of powerful artificial intelligence, Long Xinglv continued to input various parameters. After these microscopic six-dimensional entities combined in a wondrous way, he continued, "Like this, what you just saw is a process that might take us tens of thousands of years to complete. These individual microscopic six-dimensional spaces are a special Calabi-Yau flow that we discovered. Yes, just like you thought, this is a derivative technology from microscopic high-dimensional leap technology. We manipulate them microscopically using certain special string oscillation methods, arranging them into a carpet-like pattern."

"Then we will refine and fold it, which is a very complicated process. If any step goes wrong, we will have to start all over again. But I believe we will succeed, just like we did when we built the Lyra."

“Once completed, it will be one of the core technologies that enable us to master unique technologies,” Long Xinglv said. “The special microstructure it forms can soften the destructive force that sweeps in when the quantum tide comes. It’s like Tai Chi. The microspace of this structure is a group of buffers and converters. In the past, we could only guide it to propel the Lyra, but now it’s different.”

"Now that we have discovered the mechanism that moves from the microscopic to the macroscopic, we can also guide it to specially made creations. Combined with the first vacuum zero-point energy, the two will have a 1+1 greater than 2 effect, just like a wave. We can then use this powerful energy to break through the initial speed of a cosmic civilization with simple and brutal force."

"According to the calculations, if there are no unforeseen circumstances, on the day we succeed, our warp speed will definitely be able to directly surpass the initial levels of 392 times the speed of light and 656 times the speed of light. Conservatively speaking, it can reach at least 1000 times the speed of light, and 1516 times the speed of light is not impossible. It depends on our technological level."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up and their expressions became excited.

Because of the existence of the Star Guardians, all civilizations in the two major voyage organizations now know about the navigation capabilities of a cosmic-level civilization.

As long as a cosmic-level civilization masters vacuum zero-point energy, its warp speed can easily reach 392 times the speed of light, which is also the level that a Type VI civilization can achieve by relying on its unique technology.

Above that is 656 times the speed of light. The transition between the two is not abrupt, but a smooth curve. In other words, the warp speed level of a rudimentary cosmic civilization will vary depending on the differences in technological development, ranging from 392 to 656 times the speed of light.

The next level is the intermediate level, generally maintained below 1516 times the speed of light, with 1024 times the speed of light being a minor technological barrier. However, in terms of travel technology, advanced cosmic civilizations face two more minor technological barriers: 1649 times the speed of light and 1909 times the speed of light.

Of course, this is not the limit; there are also speeds that can reach 3000 times the speed of light.

Based on current information, scientists from various civilizations believe that these barriers in warp speed levels are due to differences in the depth of research into the realm of rules.

Especially after reaching the intermediate stage, relying solely on the violent output of vacuum zero-point energy may have reached its limit, and it is necessary to modify the physical rules related to warp speed in order to break through the limit.

This depends on the different civilizations' understanding of the physical rules of the universe.

How to understand, modify, and build physical rules that benefit oneself is undoubtedly a vast technological tree, and it will be the direction and new journey for all civilizations that become cosmic-level civilizations.

Human civilization is certainly aware of this information, so after learning about the research findings of the Dragon Star Journey team, many scholars suddenly felt that perhaps human civilization could break through the warp speed limit of a conventional level seven civilization using this method.

And breaking through the limits of conventional civilization, isn't that what we call unique technology? Oh no, perhaps it's just one application of humanity's unique technology.
