Searching for the Spatial Exit
The Heavy Element resources here are insufficient for humanity to upgrade its industries and technological creations, so humanity must leave. However, humanity still has no clue how to leave this space.
The Awakener 'Illusion'' said that once humanity advances to Level 4 Civilization, an exit will naturally appear. But now humanity has mastered the Grand Unified Theory, yet the so-called exit has not materialized.
This matter had already attracted attention the moment humanity grasped the Grand Unified Theory, and it also made the Scientific Exploration Team that were still exploring the edge of space pay attention to this development. They launched many probes in various directions in this space, but the entire space remained unchanged.
Some people now even suspect that the Awakeners may not have set up an exit properly.
Yue Yuan is currently preoccupied with this matter. He is certain that the Awakener 'Illusion'' told him this directly, but it didn't specify how to activate the exit. Sometimes he really dislikes these kinds of "you'll know in time" statements. Couldn't they just tell the humans what conditions must be met for the Exit Passage to appear?
Even knowing this, Yue Yuan was helpless. The Awakener 'Illusion'' disappeared right after saying that he was going to participate in the war of civilizations. Even if he wanted to ask, he had no chance to.
So now we can only treat this as a test.
However, if the Awakener 'Illusion'' did not intend to toy with humanity, then his statement that "Exit Passage will appear after reaching Level 4 Civilization" must be true. In other words, the Awakener 'Illusion'' must have set up some kind of listening and triggering device somewhere in this space, so that humanity could trigger the command to 'open the Exit Passage's after meeting certain conditions, but humanity simply could not detect it.
So the condition is now clear.
The hallmark of Level 4 Civilization is the Grand Unified Theory. Therefore, to reach the Level 4 Civilization, one must either master the Grand Unified Theory at the theoretical level or demonstrate its practical application.
Humanity has already mastered the Grand Unified Theory in theory, but the so-called Exit Passage has not appeared, so there is only one possibility left—application and manifestation.
Humanity must bring the Grand Unified Theory to life as it should, and that is what humanity is currently doing.
Human scientists believe that applications such as Warp Speed Travel, Tachyon Communication, Force Field Shield, Gravity Bomb, and Antimatter Bomb are all possibilities, so they plan to work with weapons experts and military departments to try out all these new technologies.
Under the guise of testing various weapons.
Currently, only Tachyon Communication has been tested, but it did not trigger the "Exit Passage opening" switch. There are two possibilities: either the application of Tachyon Communication is not included in the triggering conditions, or the application of Tachyon Communication is one of the triggering conditions.
Regardless of the type, humanity must experiment with and implement it.
The reason why humanity plans to build a New Warship and a new Residential Spaceship first is also due to this consideration.
What worries scientists most is the discovery of Tachyon species suitable for weapons applications. Humanity currently has no clue about this. For some time now, Astronomical-Level Particle Collider have been operating and collision experiments have been ongoing, but apart from the Tachyon that has already been used in communications, no other types of Tachyon have been discovered.
If the conditions for opening the passage also have this kind of application, then it's really going to be a bit tricky. Well, it's just tricky. This space is large enough, it's practically a Small Universe, so entropy won't increase that quickly. Plus, there are still eight stars and many Gaseous Planet, so humanity isn't worried about energy shortages in the short term.
Judging from the vastness of this space alone, humans can sense that 'Illusion' genuinely doesn't want to make things difficult for them. He truly cares about humanity, and those who understand this can't help but feel more favorably toward the Awakeners.
"If only 'Phantom' could come back right now!"
"Perhaps 'Illusion' has returned, and he may be hiding somewhere in this space watching over humanity!"
Some humans have already expressed such sentiments, but they don't know that the Awakener 'Illusion',' can no longer return here.
As time went on, humanity made breakthroughs in applied technology. New experimental ships were successfully built, Force Field Shield were implemented, Warp Engine were implemented, powerful Planet Destroyer Cannon were tested, and Neutron Kill and Neutron Burst weapons were also developed.
Gravity Bomb and Antimatter Bomb were also successful.
Now, humanity has fully realized these technologies, and with years of testing, the level of craftsmanship has become increasingly sophisticated. It can be said that humanity is now fully capable and has the necessary expertise to truly build a New Flagship.
The completed Experimental Ship was first placed in the open space of space with weak Gravity to conduct experiments. With Yue Yuan's order, the Warp test of the Experimental Ship began.
"Warp Engine 1 and Warp Engine 2 are in synchronized operation. The system is performing a self-check. Self-check complete!"
"Antimatter container force field stabilized Antimatter combustion chamber is ready! Adjusting Antimatter input rate and matching corresponding Positive Matter input rate, parameter docking complete, system ready!"
"The relative position of the Experimental Ship has been confirmed. Now, reconfirm the destination and sailing time for this experiment!"
"Warp Engine ignition! 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4"
"Gravity Well has been detected."
"The target parameters for the Warp Bubble have been corrected, and the Warp Bubble has been generated."
As the experimenters operated the ship, the massive vessel, spanning hundreds of kilometers, began to turn red in their eyes. Then, they saw the experimental ship become an elongated afterimage and quickly disappear into the starry sky.
In the blink of an eye, conventional detectors could no longer detect the Experimental Ship. At this point, only the Tachyon Detection installed at human headquarters could track its trajectory.
Even though the experiments had confirmed the inevitable success of Warp, people were still filled with emotion when they actually saw Warp spacecraft in reality. This was the first spacecraft with Warp Speed Travel capability that humanity had built itself, albeit Experimental Ship.
Its emergence signifies that humanity has indeed become a faster-than-light civilization, a Level 4 Civilization. This is a qualitative leap; a distance that previously took a century to traverse can now be covered in just a few decades.
Such faster-than-light speeds do not violate relativity because they do not directly and violently push massive objects to faster-than-light speeds, but rather travel through Warp drive, just as the expansion of space itself to faster-than-light speeds does not violate relativity.
Of course, humans don't really concern themselves with whether a certain method violates relativity. If a phenomenon that does violate relativity does appear, it only means that relativity cannot fully describe all physical phenomena, not that the physical phenomenon is wrong.
