In the dark, empty depths of space, two Gemini Civilization Rangers slowly decelerated as they approached Callisto.
"Report! The enemy warship has entered our radar detection range!" the Gemini Civilization AI Core suddenly reported.
"Hmm? Finally! How large is their fleet?" Both captains perked up.
"One ship. No other signal sources detected!"
"Hmm... keep a close watch on the surrounding area. Make sure the enemy has no hidden forces!"
"Yes!"
It was not until two hours later that the Sea Wolf detected the enemy ships' signals. Judging by its detection range, the Gravitational Wave Radar Nie Yun had copied from the two probes was clearly inferior to the Gemini Civilization's shipboard models. It was effectively a pair of "nearsighted eyes."
However, once they closed to this distance, with both sides equipped with Gravitational Wave Radar, all forms of stealth technology became useless. Unless they could mask their own gravity, they had basically reached the maddening stage where they could only gaze lovingly at each other from afar, looking but never touching...
And masking their own gravity was an incredibly difficult feat.
Gravity was the only one of the four fundamental forces that acted in just one direction: it attracted, but never repelled!
According to the general theory of relativity, gravity was the distortion of space caused by an object's mass. True antigravity therefore meant flattening out the spatial distortion caused by matter's mass. Extending that reasoning, if antigravity was achievable, then curvature navigation was achievable as well, because the two shared the same underlying principles.
Taking it a step further, cracking antigravity and unifying the four fundamental forces might even put the legendary theory of everything within reach!
If either side had truly mastered the extraordinary technology of antigravity, what they would be seeing would not be both sides
