Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

a few days later.

[Earth], Lü Yongchang's office.

After several days of adaptive training, he has basically mastered how to use the quantum brain.

At least now, he can control his instincts and stop chasing after those ever-rising bubbles of inspiration in his mind.

He carefully raised his hand and tapped the holographic projection in front of him.

A line of bright white formula quickly appeared in the azure holographic image.

Superstring gravitational field equations.

Lu Yongchang silently gazed at the equation that he had poured so much of his heart and soul into, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Within the quantum brain, past memories quickly surfaced.

[Preliminary Applications of Superstring Gravitational Field Equations: Warp Drive Technology]

A faint, burning light flashed in Lü Yongchang's eyes.

Curve navigation.

Perhaps this is why the technology tree space classifies the superstring gravitational field equation as the threshold for cosmic civilization.

Just like nuclear fusion technology was once considered a threshold for interstellar civilization.

Only by mastering warp drive technology can a fleet exceed the speed of light and truly take center stage in cosmic civilization.

Otherwise, simply traveling between star systems would take a civilization more than 95% of its time.

Such a civilization might be called an interstellar civilization, but it can never be called a cosmic civilization.

Thinking this, Lü Yongchang said softly.

"Zero, notify all academicians of the relevant disciplines to assemble in Laboratory 1."

"receive!"

As the electronic synthesized sound rang out, the virtual image waiting on the side transformed into particles of light and slowly dissipated into the air.

……

"Professor, in the past few days, we have conducted a comprehensive verification and analysis of the superstring gravitational field equations."

Inside the laboratory, Tao Yuda, with a hint of excitement on his face, followed closely beside Lü Yongchang, telling him about his discovery in a low, hurried voice.

"You were right back then."

"The Randall-Sundrum model is correct."

"Although there is no direct observational evidence to prove this, I believe that gravity absolutely exists across all dimensions."

"The spacetime we live in is five-dimensional."

"But we all live on a 1+3 dimensional hyperspace membrane."

"Electromagnetic force, weak force, and strong force all transmit on this membrane and do not enter the fifth dimension."

"Only gravity can pass through this membrane and enter the so-called fifth dimension of spacetime."

Lü Yongchang chuckled softly, slowed his pace, and turned to look at Tao Yuda, who was following closely beside him: "Do you remember what [Hua] said?"

"The pastoral dimensional beings need to constantly consume large amounts of energy to resist the assimilation of the universe."

"Now it seems that it may be because of this 1+3 dimension hyperspace membrane."

Tao Yuda was slightly taken aback, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "That makes sense!"

But the next second, Tao Yuda's expression dimmed slightly.

"This hyperspace membrane should have strong confinement and recovery capabilities. It seems that it won't be so easy for us to jump out of this membrane and realize wormhole technology..."

Lu Yongchang smiled gently again and waved his hand, saying, "We've gone off on a tangent."

"Wormhole technology is too far removed from current human civilization."

"Our primary goal now is to control gravity using superstring gravitational field equations."

"Then, by utilizing gravity, we can achieve warp drive technology!"

……

Earth year 3265.

In the blink of an eye, seven years have passed.

In the distance, the brightness of the black hole's accretion disk dimmed even further.

At the same time, the lush greenery on the Lost Star also diminished somewhat.

Seven years of research and development have brought about a leap forward in human civilization.

Under Lü Yongchang's leadership, the Chinese Academy of Sciences finally achieved a certain degree of control over gravity by relying on the superstring gravitational field equations.

"I hereby announce the official commencement of the first gravitational field occurrence experiment!"

Inside Laboratory One, Lu Yongchang's somewhat excited voice could be heard.

To eliminate the influence of the black hole's gravity and ensure the experiment's success, and of course, to ensure the safety of the Earth and the human fleet, the experimental site was not located on the Earth.

They're not even in the human fleet!

One light-year away in the endless depths of space, a small fleet of a dozen or so starships lay silently in place, awaiting orders.

At the center of the fleet was a square, cube-shaped starship.

It's more accurate to call it a mobile gravity laboratory than a starship.

Inside the cube is the latest gravitational field generator developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

That is why it was given a name with profound meaning.

Gravitational rover

Around it, a dozen or so starships, fully loaded with various high-precision detection equipment, were quietly moored.

Their function is simple—after the gravitational field generator is activated, they conduct comprehensive observations of the Gravitational spacecraft.

"Attention all units!"

One light-year away, on the Earth, Lü Yongchang's voice rang out once more.

"Prepare to activate the gravity field generator!"

P.S.: Thanks to the amazing verification from Wo.Jendes.Nidie!
