Aboard the [Earth], the door to Lü Yongchang's office was tightly shut.
As usual, Lü Yongchang had locked himself in his office once again.
He needed to integrate the spacetime model and curvature model he had developed, then use them to find the rules governing how spacetime waves interacted during curvature navigation!
Once they discovered how spacetime waves formed and solved the equations describing them, Human Civilization could truly claim to have mastered Curvature Navigation Technology-precise predictions and calculations of spacetime waves would allow humanity to smooth out the waves on the surface of the spacetime ocean.
Clearly, this was no easy task.
Its difficulty could even be called staggering.
Not just Human Civilization, but many level four civilizations throughout the universe had stalled at this very step.
The spacetime wave equations and the grand unified theory were the two greatest barriers separating level four civilizations from level five civilizations!
Although his quantized brain gave Lü Yongchang thinking abilities far beyond those of an ordinary individual in a level four civilization, the limitations of his own civilization's level-or rather, of his own knowledge and experience-made it difficult for him to cut straight through this first barrier to becoming a level five civilization.
Even he needed to deliberate and experiment constantly.
Of course, he also needed vast amounts of experimental data to support his work.
For that very reason, in the [Kunpeng] mobile laboratory one light-year away, the Antimatter Engine continuously poured out immense energy at full power, while explosive cracks rang out incessantly from the Vacuum Experimental Chamber-the sounds of test objects shattering as they entered curvature navigation, their materials unable to withstand the spacetime tides effect.
Every experiment generated vast amounts of data.
That data streamed into Lü Yongchang's office without pause, appearing before him one set after another.
