Although humans and the affiliated Alien Race do not live on the same Residential Spaceship, they are connected to the same network. Humanity's internal network is the Main Network, while the other Alien Race use human Sub-Network. Because all Residential Spaceship are located in the same cosmos, the network latency, while somewhat low, is still acceptable.

Since they have become subordinate to humanity, sovereignty and the internet must be primarily human-centric.

To the average person, the relationship between the human network and the networks of several Alien Race is like that of Internal and External Network. Humans frequently use the network to browse various websites of other races. Human videos and similar content appearing on other races' networks are transmitted by these individuals.

These people initially intended to observe how extraterrestrials communicate internally, and to see how their behavior and thoughts differ from those of humans. They also frequently uploaded videos of other races to human networks for entertainment purposes.

In fact, these are all forms of spontaneous cultural exchange that can broaden people's horizons and knowledge, and the New Government is happy to see them happen.

While ordinary people are still basking in the success of the Grand Unified Theory formula, human scientific teams have already set their sights on something much further ahead.

First, there was the improvement of the Warp Engine. After mastering the Grand Unified Theory, humanity upgraded the Warp Engine they had created, producing a higher-quality Warp Engine based on the principles.

Meanwhile, research in other areas is also continuing, also based on the Grand Unified Theory. Humanity is formally challenging various applied technologies, such as research on Warp Speed Travel technology, Tachyon Communication Technology, Force Field Manipulation, and related Three Fundamental Forces under the Grand Unified framework, which may lead to derivative technologies.

Humanity is well aware that under the framework of the Grand Unified Theory, many derivative technologies will inevitably emerge, just as Controlled Nuclear Fusion was achieved in the past.

The first breakthrough among all these research efforts was in Tachyon Communication Technology.

The year after mastering the formula of the Grand Unified Theory, humanity built the first Tachyon Detection based on the principles of the Grand Unified Theory. After installing this Tachyon Detection on Astronomical-Level Particle Collider, it successfully detected Tachyon generated during the collision experiment.

This discovery essentially proves the correctness of previous related Tachyon theories.

Building on this foundation, humanity successfully created a Tachyon Generator the following year, and achieved successful communication experiments in the laboratory later that year. Then, in the third year, humanity created the first mass-produced Tachyon Communication device.

Through various actual communication tests at both ends of this space, humans discovered that Tachyon Communication has a very low latency, less than 1 millisecond over a distance of more than ten light-years. It was later discovered that this latency is actually caused by the reaction speed of human electronic devices. In other words, Tachyon Communication is almost instantaneous and real-time over a range of more than ten light-years.

Why "almost"? Because many scientists believe that although Tachyon are faster than the speed of light, they are not infinite. From the perspective of speed, they still have a speed, at least the Tachyon that humans currently use for communication are like that. It's just that humans cannot yet measure at what spatial scale they will experience delays.

Meanwhile, some scientists believe that there is more than one type of Tachyon, and that there are differences in their speeds, just like photons and other particles. However, humans have not yet discovered other hypothetical Tachyon.

Based on this, the Academy of Human Academy of Sciences has categorized Tachyon as a major branch of science and technology, a technological system known as Tachyon Technology. Currently, this system only includes Tachyon Communication Technology, discovered and applied by humans. Other applications and discoveries related to Tachyon Technology remain speculative, such as the discovery of other Tachyon that could be used in weapons; some scientists have already begun research in this area.

If we were to name the most exciting technology that has emerged since humanity mastered the Grand Unified Theory, aside from Tachyon technology, it would undoubtedly be Gravity Well technology.

Human scientists have discovered that they can modify the input energy ratio through the Grand Unified Equation to influence the effect of the fusion of Electromagnetic Force, Strong Interaction Force, and Weak Interaction Force under specific environmental conditions, just like the effects of Warp Bubble and Warp displacement, thus producing a spatial effect similar to Gravity, which they call the Gravity Potential Well Effect.

This technology is called Gravity Potential Well Technology.

What is Gravity Potential Well Technology? As the name suggests, it is a device that humans can create to produce a Gravity Potential Well Effect. The Gravity Potential Well Effect is easy to understand; it is exactly what it sounds like, causing an object in Gravity Well to experience an effect similar to gravity.

For example, if a force is applied to an object suspended in space, it will easily veer around due to the force, just like touching an object in a Gravity Environment. However, if a Gravity Well is applied to the location of this object, the effect will be different.

The object will be firmly fixed in this area, and even if you try to move it, it will spring back to its original position like a spring, just like a small ball placed in a funnel.

And this invisible funnel is the Gravity Well.

The object will move towards the center of the Gravity Well as if it were being pulled by gravity.

This is a great technology, a great technology based on the Grand Unified Theory, because its emergence will bring about earth-shattering changes to Human Civilization.

Firstly, regarding Antimatter. The existence of Gravity Potential Well Technology makes it possible to store large quantities of Antimatter. Humans can use Gravity Potential Well Technology to safely place large amounts of Antimatter in containers made of matter without worrying about Antimatter colliding with matter and triggering an annihilation reaction.

Secondly, there are spaceships and warships.

The emergence of Gravity Potential Well Technology will completely change the form of human warships and Residential Spaceship. Especially for Residential Spaceship, humanity will bid farewell to the cylindrical type. This is because it is foreseeable that after the large-scale application of Gravity Potential Well Technology, humanity will no longer need to simulate gravity effects using the centripetal force generated by the rotation of a large disk on the spacecraft; instead, it can directly simulate them using Gravity Potential Well Technology.

This means that human Residential Spaceship no longer need various rotating structures, making them more robust and allowing for greater usable space, as human living space on these Residential Spaceship will no longer be limited to the outer ring of the rotating disk.

After this, the interior of Residential Spaceship can be designed with a multi-layered structure, much like Cruise Ship. Similarly, human warships will bid farewell to the era of Magnetic Boots, and the rotating structures of internal office and living areas can be eliminated, freeing up ample space for other uses.

In other words, humans can finally feel the presence of gravity on a warship again, just like they would on Earth.

Technology has indeed changed lives.

Some might say that humans are too fixated on Gravity Environment, and that once we're in space, we can just live in a weightless environment. But Earth's Gravity Environment is an environment that the human body has adapted to for billions of years, and it is certainly the most comfortable environment for humans.

Moreover, humans who have mastered Gravity Potential Well Technology are not foolish enough not to install a switch.
