Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

The atmosphere in the laboratory became heavy again.

"You're talking about... gravitons in this state..."

"Can it exhibit anti-gravity?"

After a long silence, Lü Yongchang said again in a low voice, "Or rather, anti-quality."

boom!

The moment he said those words, Lü Yongchang felt as if the tough membrane that had been blocking his inspiration had been pierced!

The quantum state brain spontaneously entered an overclocking state.

In an instant, countless inspirations burst forth from the quantum brain!

Lu Yongchang's eyes gleamed, and his voice gradually grew louder.

"Under the influence of a gravitational field, spacetime is concave."

"So, if we let... let's call it an antigraviton! If we make the antigraviton move, will it create an antigravimetric field?!"

"Under the influence of an anti-gravitational field, the originally flat spacetime might bulge out!"

"This might significantly lower the barrier to initiating warp drive using wave-like spacetime!"

Upon hearing this, He Bilin's expression changed drastically!

After a brief moment of thought, his breathing became rapid, and a blush of excitement appeared on his face.

"Yes, Professor, you're right!"

"By utilizing gravitational and anti-gravitational fields, we can create larger spacetime waves with the same power, which will significantly lower the threshold required for gravitational field strength!"

Suddenly, the excitement on He Bilin's face vanished, replaced by endless confusion and doubt.

"only……"

"How do we obtain antigravitons, and how do we create antigravitational fields?"

"It's impossible for the black hole detector to escape the black hole's gravity." He Bilin stood there blankly, looking bewildered. "Currently, it's impossible for us to obtain antigravitons from the vicinity of a black hole."

"That's not difficult!"

A hint of madness appeared on Lü Yongchang's face: "Although I don't know why gravitons exhibit opposite properties, I'm certain it's a change that occurs under the influence of black holes!"

"Since that's the case..."

"Then let's build a black hole!"

……

After leaving the laboratory, Lü Yongchang hurriedly climbed onto the robotic arm waiting at the door.

"Quick! Take me back to the office!"

Zero, having received the order, carefully controlled the robotic arm to secure Lü Yongchang to the robot's back deck.

Then, accompanied by a sharp friction sound, the electromagnetic adsorption track started spinning at high speed, carrying Lü Yongchang quickly towards the office.

"hiss……"

He Bilin, who had just stepped out of the laboratory, happened to see this scene.

He took a deep breath, a hint of interest in his eyes: "This thing... seems to work pretty well, doesn't it?"

"Zero, request a robotic arm for my office, equipped with electromagnetic adsorption tracks."

"……receive."

Hearing Zero's synthesized voice coming from the side, He Bilin nodded in satisfaction and stepped out of the laboratory.

Before leaving the laboratory, Lü Yongchang gave him a task.

Lacking relevant experience, he needed to seek help from Fang Xu, Cao Liangcai, and others.

……

Back in his office, Lü Yongchang sat down at his desk and hurriedly closed his eyes.

After breaking through this crucial juncture, the tech tree system can now provide him with the necessary assistance!

Compared to the past, after the brain is quantumized, the speed at which users can enter the technology tree system is much faster.

The colorful, mottled background of the technology tree reappeared before his eyes.

Although he had seen it many times, he would still frown every time he saw this mottled and seemingly messy background.

He pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the meaning of the mottled background.

He shook his head and focused his attention on the luminous white technology tree floating in the mottled background space.

Warp Drive Technology

A cursor, half dim and half bright, hangs silently at the top of the branch of the technology tree.

Lü Yongchang skillfully focused his attention on the cursor and then unlocked the restrictions on the quantum state brain.

My previously calm thoughts were once again thrown into turmoil.

As attention gradually focuses, the tech tree system begins to function.

The chaotic ideas in my mind began to gradually dissipate, and were replaced by ideas similar to "precision push notifications".

Time slips away, bit by bit.

A model of warp drive gradually took shape in his mind.

……

One day later.

Inside Laboratory One of the Earth-class spacecraft.

Lu Yongchang stood before the assembled academicians, with a deep blue holographic image beside him.

The holographic image presents a model constructed from translucent white lines.

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Lü Yongchang slowly began to speak:

"Everyone, this is a schematic diagram of how a warp drive works."

These words immediately ignited the previously silent atmosphere in the laboratory!

"Based on our observations of the anomalous gravitons, we can basically draw a conclusion."

"Under the influence of some unknown mechanism of black holes, gravitons exhibit opposite properties."

"Although there is no conclusive experimental evidence to support this yet, I believe that anti-gravity fields exist and spacetime bulges are achievable."

"And this is also the core working principle of this warp drive."

Lu Yongchang cleared his throat and began to explain again.

"By using an anti-gravity field, we can make the spacetime behind the spacecraft expand and bulge, while the spacetime in front of the spacecraft contracts and dents."

"In this way, spacetime will become waves that are constantly surging forward."

"And the aircraft, propelled forward by this wave, continues to move forward."

"Of course, in order to prevent the spacecraft from being torn apart by the spacetime tides, we need to smooth out the spacetime waves around the spacecraft as much as possible."

"In other words, under the influence of the warp drive, it's not the spacecraft that's moving, but rather the entire spacetime in which the spacecraft resides!"

"Because the spacecraft itself is almost stationary relative to spacetime, it not only avoids the relativistic time slowing effect but also allows us to break the relativistic speed limit!"

"To achieve true faster-than-light travel!"

The moment the words were spoken, a burst of enthusiastic applause erupted in the laboratory!

Lu Yongchang slightly raised his hands and pressed them down in the air.

The applause gradually subsided, and the laboratory returned to silence.

"As for the creation of an anti-gravitational field..."

"First, we need to create a miniature black hole."

"As for how it's made..."

"This is the main point I wanted to make."

As he spoke, he ran his right hand across the holographic projection beside him.

The curvature engine model quickly disappeared, replaced by several bright white Chinese characters.
