A Sudden Gravitational Wave
No matter what technology or modification it is, as long as science and technology continue to advance, it is not the final version.
Just like the Overclock Mode, according to scientists at the Life Science Research Institute, that was only the first version. If there are further breakthroughs, there will definitely be a second and third version. As Yi Kai said, the future research direction for Overclock Mode is to solve the appearance problem. Perhaps when the second version appears, it should be able to solve the problem of Overclock Mode turning people into scales.
The reason why the first version of the Overclock Mode resulted in the body being covered in scales was entirely due to the genetic sequence of the Kuntai People. As long as the relationship between the external appearance expression sequence and the gene fragment that enhances overall quality is found, and it is possible to differentiate or replace it with other sequences, it is entirely possible to enhance the original appearance.
The same applies to technologies such as Bio-alloy Skeleton and internal organ reinforcement; as long as humanity continues to advance on the path of science, these technologies will be continuously updated and improved.
Only by keeping pace with the advancement of civilization and technology can any enhancement targeting individuals be sustainable and sustainable.
The New Humans who have undergone physical enhancement all understand this principle. Therefore, even if they are powerful, they cannot leave Human Civilization. Because once they leave, not to mention the problem of maintaining their bodies, even after a hundred years, their currently very powerful bodies may become vulnerable.
Of course, the so-called physical enhancement is not designed for individual combat; its starting point is for the high-G acceleration and deceleration of warships.
After all, no matter how much humans modify themselves, they cannot survive on a planet without an atmosphere and with a temperature difference of more than 200 degrees Celsius, relying solely on their physical bodies.
And the most common type of environment in the universe is this kind of planet.
Therefore, for individual operations, Tactical Armor is sufficient. No matter how advanced human modification is, it is still ultimately bioenergy, and it is ultimately not as powerful as Tactical Armor powered directly by Fusion Reactor.
Besides, the Overclock Mode, which takes three minutes to get into the zone, is completely unsuitable for sudden combat situations.
Another point is that, apart from acquired modifications like Bio-alloy Skeleton, other modifications based on gene editing are hereditary, such as Overclock Mode. However, Overclock Mode expression is based on recessive expression, and newborns need to be registered and have their genes activated by relevant departments after reaching a certain age to acquire it.
Based on this, the New Government is not worried at all about the Overclock Mode causing any trouble in society, since the technology to be enabled is in the hands of the New Government.
Getting back to the main point, after the New Humans fleet left Aldebaran, it sailed through the starry sea.
Hibernation and Rotation System allow the New Humans to traverse one Star System after another in their lifetime, century after century. The New Humans from one Star System to another, stop to resupply, and then continue their journey.
After increasing their speed from 15% to 30% of the speed of light, the New Humans fleet moved much faster. Including resupply along the way, the New Humans traversed a distance of 100 light-years in just 350 years.
However, one hundred light-years is not enough; it still falls within the Dangerous Star Region mentioned in the broadcast, and humanity must continue its voyage.
Three hundred and fifty-five years after leaving Aldebaran, the New Humans resupplyed in a Red Dwarf Star system and embarked on their Starry Road once again.
After slowly leaving the Red Dwarf Star, the New Humans fleet quickly reached 30% of the speed of light and then traveled at a constant speed.
If things had gone according to plan, the next step would have been the usual Rotation System hibernation. However, this time, the New Humans discovered some unusual phenomena.
First, the Gravitational Wave Detection Array on the fleet detected a ripple in spacetime. Initially, scientists thought it was a measurement error caused by distance discrepancies between the warships carrying the Gravitational Wave Detector, but after several verifications, they found that this was not the case.
In other words, the Gravitational Wave Detection Array in the fleet did indeed detect Gravitational Wave. This discovery immediately excited astronomers, who were eager to analyze the Gravitational Wave and source of the Gravitational Wave as quickly as possible to determine what caused them.
Yes, that's right, it's Gravitational Wave Detection Array, and it's on a warship.
The New Humans undoubtedly possess the ability to detect Gravitational Wave; this technology existed long before Earth Era. And while Gravitational Wave Detector sounds advanced, and it truly is, it's not, as people might imagine, an instrument mounted on a spaceship or warship.
The reason it's called a detection array is undoubtedly because it's not the kind of small Gravitational Wave detection antenna mounted on a spaceship like in the novel. That kind of technology may exist, but it's simply impossible for the New Humans to achieve it with their current technological level.
Therefore, the Gravitational Wave detection methods and technologies used by the New Humans are actually the same as those used in the Earth Era.
There are three main types of Gravitational Wave detection technology in the Earth Era.
One method is the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). The method used for Gravitational Wave detection is Laser Interference. Simply put, a laser beam is emitted from a laser source, passes through a prism, and is split into two beams. The two beams then enter two mutually perpendicular channel arms.
Generally, the two "arms" are of different lengths, about 4 kilometers. One of the laser beams is inside the "arm". After being reflected by the mirrors inside about fifty times, its journey becomes 200 kilometers. Because the other arm is of different lengths, the two laser beams will have different journeys.
Finally, the two beams of light converge at one point to interfere.
If Gravitational Wave is transmitted, the two laser beams with different paths will have different optical path differences, and thus the interference pattern caused by the two beams will shift.
Scientists can then determine whether a Gravitational Wave signal has been detected based on the interference pattern.
However, these types of Gravitational Wave Detector are generally built on planets, and there are many such Gravitational Wave Detector on Earth in the 21st century.
The second type is also Laser Interference. However, the equipment, which was originally built on the ground, was moved to Earth orbit. Therefore, this type of Gravitational Wave Detector was also called Laser Interferometer Space Antenna at the time.
This method of Gravitational Wave Detector involves placing three detectors on the space plane opposite to the sun, forming an equilateral triangle with sides of five million kilometers.
It also follows the principle of Laser Interference.
If a Gravitational Wave reaches the detector, the spacetime distance of the equilateral triangle will change, thus causing a change in the pattern of the Laser Interference.
The longer the arm, the more sensitive it is to Gravitational Wave signals, meaning it can detect Gravitational Wave with lower frequencies.
