Magnetic Propulsion's Great Success

As he spoke, his voice gradually faded, because even the Awakeners named Illusion knew that it was extremely difficult, as the path was far too long.

Although the Awakeners obtained clues about the Previous Generation Voyager, the entire Awakener Civilization shared a common understanding: even now, the Previous Generation Voyager may not have reached their destination.

Because that place is far too far for Level Six Civilization, so far that all Level Six Civilization feel despair, but for that only hope, they have no choice but to embark on this path.

In the process of traversing one Star System after another, they will inevitably encounter civilizations from other star systems, just as the Awakeners came to the Milky Way Galaxy. Therefore, it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to get a single civilization to reach its destination along this path.

Humanity was amazed by the Awakeners's feat of crossing from the Triangulum Galaxy, but only the Awakeners knew how difficult it was to travel from the Triangulum Galaxy to the Milky Way Galaxy.

Furthermore, the Milky Way Galaxy is not the end point, but merely a Relay Station for the Awakeners. However, the Awakeners dare not leave the Milky Way Galaxy casually, because they clearly recognize that even Level Six Civilization is no match for this boundless and vast universe.

Moreover, the Awakeners doesn't know that if it rashly sets sail alone, even if it successfully reaches the next Star System, it might encounter other unknown and powerful civilizations, cause conflicts, or lead to the destruction of its entire civilization. These are all risks.

It is precisely because they understand this that the Awakeners has been so cautious since arriving in the Milky Way Galaxy, as if afraid that other Level Six Civilization will find out about their existence.

Of course, the Awakeners was also aware that its whereabouts would eventually be exposed, and as long as it continued to explore the Milky Way Galaxy, it would be discovered by other Level Six Civilization sooner or later.

The previous encounter between 'You' and the Perseus Commonwealth fleet is the best proof of this, and this time should not be too far off.

As Level Six Civilization, they all knew they had to embark on that path, because only by leaving and heading to that destination that existed only in the speculation of scientists and the clues left by some Previous Generation Voyager could they find hope.

The Awakeners are currently unaware of the attitudes of the Level Six Civilization in the Milky Way Galaxy towards alien civilizations from other Star System, so all actions are being taken with caution.

After an unknown amount of time, the rectangular warship containing the Awakeners named 'Illusion' also vanished. Only the unknown black hole remained, continuing to demonstrate its existence through Gravity, in accordance with the physical laws of this universe.

At this moment, the Human Civilization that the Awakeners spoke of has indeed reached a new level.

The Magnetic Propulsion Technology was declared a success. In the experiment of the prototype spacecraft, the propulsion device manufactured using the Magnetic Propulsion Technology forcefully pushed the experimental spacecraft past the threshold of 30% of the speed of light in a very violent manner.

During the experiment, humans clearly discovered the Time Dilation Effect by comparing clocks placed on the sample spacecraft and the human fleet itself.

With simple calculations, humans easily determined the relative speed to which the prototype spacecraft was propelled, concluding it was 50% of the speed of light.

The fact that the newly successful Magnetic Propulsion Thruster could propel the prototype spacecraft to such speeds has caused a sensation throughout Human Civilization. Scientists even believe that with further improvements and optimizations, it is possible to increase the speed even further.

As mentioned before, Magnetic Propulsion Technology involves "stepping" on Monopole Magnetic Field that is undergoing a phase transition. If the power is large enough, it may be possible to continue accelerating.

After all, during the warship's course, the reaction magnetic field appears depending on the warship's spatial position. As long as Monopole Magnetic Field is generated at the end of the thruster, it can 'borrow' force as the warship moves away.

Of course, such leverage becomes increasingly difficult as the spaceship's speed increases.

The principle is simple. It's like a person jumping up while stepping on an air block in Gravity Environment. When the person's speed is so fast that the air block is far away from the maximum length of the leg push before the person's stepping motion even touches it, then the person can't get any leverage.

In the context of Magnetic Propulsion Technology, the so-called increase in power is equivalent to increasing the speed and force of the person's leg push.

Based on this, some scientists even believe that if this technology is developed to a high level, it might be able to propel spacecraft to Sub-Light Speed.

When the topic of Sub-Light Speed comes up, engineers' imaginations run wild, and they believe that this technology could potentially be applied to weapons.

Therefore, after the success of Magnetic Propulsion Technology, a group of weapons experts and weapons design engineers pondered how to improve it so that it could be turned into a new type of weapon.

Initially, these engineers thought they could simply replace the Magnetic Propulsion of the Electromagnetic Railgun with Magnetic Propulsion. However, after they truly understood the size of the Magnetic Propulsion device, they abandoned this naive idea.

Some weapons design experts have proposed modifying the power coil of the gun barrel into Alice Ring nested structure, and applying the same layout to the projectile to propel it forward. However, this idea requires miniaturization of the Magnetic Propulsion device, a technology that is currently unknown to humankind.

Therefore, the idea of using Magnetic Propulsion Technology in weapons is still just an idea at present.

However, despite this, the prospects for such a weapon are very good. If it can be realized, humanity may one day possess Sub-Light Speed kinetic energy weapons.

When this weapon is developed to its ultimate form, anyone with common sense can imagine that it is the legendary weapon capable of destroying stars, Near-Light-Speed Kinetic Weapon, also known as Star Weapon, Mass Point, or Light Grain.

Of course, for Near-Light-Speed Kinetic Weapon, humanity can only dream about them for now. As far as we know, even if we use Magnetic Propulsion Thruster to continuously accelerate a spaceship, it's impossible to reach near-light speed.

Because acceleration consumes spacecraft fuel, and the energy required to accelerate an object of such mass as a spacecraft to near the speed of light is greater than the total energy converted from the entire mass of the spacecraft.

This is similar to limiting the speed of Level 2 Civilization's spaceship. The larger the mass of the spaceship, the greater the thrust required to accelerate it, and the more energy is consumed to continue accelerating. The greater the thrust required and the more energy consumed, the more fuel is needed, and the heavier the spaceship becomes.

This is a vicious cycle, so the spaceship cannot keep accelerating indefinitely.

This is why scientists understand that it's impossible to turn such a large spacecraft into a weapon. To apply Magnetic Propulsion Technology to weapons, the focus must shift to miniaturization.

Humanity doesn't know if this technology can be achieved at the Level 3 Civilization level, but with such a promising goal, we must continue to research it.

I'm not afraid of failing; I'm afraid of not daring to even dream about it.

It's important to understand that many technologies seem far-fetched before they are realized, especially when they are first proposed. Yet, those technologies that seem almost like science fiction have been gradually realized by humankind.

Therefore, the moment Magnetic Propulsion Technology was declared a success, scientists and engineers from all fields began to pay attention to it, hoping that this technology could also play a role in their own fields.

In particular, the group of scientists who study Antimatter even believe that the Alice Ring is the foundational technology for the large-scale production of Antimatter by humankind in the future.
