"Yes, Gravity," Mako Mori replied, aware of President Zhang's doubts. "This project is a collaborative effort funded by all the countries in the Pacific Ocean Rim, but I heard that it was once stalled when PPDC's funding dried up."
"Unexpectedly, we received the first-generation product of this project not long ago."
As she spoke, she sent over the data that Zhang Tianyuan had just requested.
Tsk tsk!
Zhang Tianyuan was somewhat surprised.
Professor Brand's persistent research on gravity in the Interstellar Spacetime has made a breakthrough in the Pacific Rim Spacetime.
Let's recall the scenes from the movie.
Gravity Sling appear to only enhance the gravitational pull between objects, rather than reducing it as Professor Brand envisioned, thus allowing even a concrete space station to remain stationary in space.
Mako Mori also responded to his idea.
"Currently, the gravitational field of the Gravity Sling only has two effects: enhancing gravity."
"The first is to enhance the gravitational pull between the projector and the gravitational field projection point; the second is to enhance the gravitational pull of the gravitational field projection point on surrounding objects."
This is similar to how it's portrayed in the original work.
The first function can be understood as an invisible rope. Once the gravitational field successfully attaches, it can pull the object and bring it to the mech.
Of course, if the object itself is sturdy enough, it can also be manipulated in reverse, like a rope, to bring the mech closer to the attachment point.
As for the second function, it's the effect of a bunch of cars gathering into a large iron ball in the movie, enhancing the gravity within a small area centered on the point of attachment—a technological version of " Chibaku Tensei."
Thinking about it carefully, this news is still shocking.
Zhang Tianyuan never expected that the technology in the Pacific Rim Spacetime had gone so far as to develop a technology tree based on gravity.
Although it may not be very powerful, it can only be used as a weapon on a mecha, and incidentally, some data can be collected for improvement.
But that's still pretty awesome.
If this technology continues to develop, who knows, in the Interstellar era we might be able to pilot spaceships, spreading gravitational fields throughout the universe, and begin artificially "planting" planets...
Moreover, this is also a groundbreaking achievement in physics.
If Professor Brand and his group found out about this, they would probably go crazy.
They kept thinking
In their quest to conquer gravity, they discovered that the spacetime they had communicated with many times had already made secret progress.
Professor Brand had absolutely no idea about this.
Branches are not obligated to report their top-secret research projects to the Mutual Aid Society, and the Mutual Aid Society itself does not concern itself with such matters.
Naturally, scholars from other timelines would also be unaware of this top-secret project.
Zhang Tianyuan took a deep breath, put the matter aside for the time being, and decided to take out the reports from Moyulan Base during this period when he had time.
Mako Mori must have mentioned the delivery of the Gravity Sling Device in this document, but he hasn't checked it recently...
"Are the Wei Brothers already familiar with the use of the Pangu and the Gravity Sling?"
When this question was asked, the holographic simulation also produced its results.
In the video, the 12,000-ton Snowpiercer is still no match for the invisible force of gravity, held firmly by unseen ropes, unable to move forward even as its wheels spin freely.
This thing's power is still small, but that's relative to certain major applications, such as artificial star cores.
If it's just for pulling a building or a train, the current power is more than enough.
"Yes! They are all very familiar with it, there's absolutely no chance of any mistakes!"
"Then let them prepare to move out."
Zhang Tianyuan left with a single sentence.
The assembly bell rang Moyulan Base.
The Wei Brothers instinctively rushed out of their dormitory.
At that moment, the location of their assembly point was simultaneously transmitted through their earpieces.
"Immediately proceed to Cabin 1 and stand by at the Pangu aircraft stand; an emergency deployment is imminent!"
The triplets didn't waste a single second.
They were quickly transferred to cabin number 1 via a dedicated passageway.
They had barely stepped outside when the cabin door automatically verified their identities and opened.
What mission?
"Has the monster reappeared? Is it from our timeline or No. 0 Spacetime?"
The three brothers filed in.
What came into their view was a huge, imposing gold and red mecha, full of powerful beauty.
Just by looking at its size and shape, you can tell that even inside a giant mech, this guy is definitely an unparalleled strongman.
Mako Mori traveled through the communication Spacetime Tunnel back to the Moyulan Base from No. 0 Spacetime, and was directing her crew to transfer the Gravity Sling Projector to the mech's ankle.
This thing can be simply understood as a rope. If the center of gravity isn't changed and it's still mounted on the hand... it would be quite embarrassing if it were to be launched and pull up the entire train.
She turned her head and flicked her highlighted hair. "It's a mission from headquarters, not in No. 0 Spacetime. You need to go to the newest No. 8 Spacetime to carry out an interception mission."
The Wei Brothers have begun donning their pilot suits, with pieces of light gold and red armor, similar to those on the Pangu, being installed on them one by one. The crew members around them are still testing the interfaces to ensure they are functioning correctly...
" No. 8 Spacetime?"
"I remember the situation there was similar to No. 6 Spacetime?"
Mako Mori nodded and stated the mission requirements.
"Terrorists who hijacked over a thousand people and then drove a nuclear-powered train around the world?"
Good heavens!
"Ready to go!"
"Walk!"
Snowpiercer Spacetime.
South America.
Near the Wilford line, every few dozen meters a small team, wearing coats, stood guard against the wind and snow.
Even though the heavy snow had piled up into a small snow mountain on the shoulders and heads of these men, the soldiers did not relax their monitoring of the surroundings.
Their superiors attached great importance to this railway.
They naturally had to guard it well.
This impenetrable defense infuriated Morgan and Mather upon learning the news.
The people Morgan had painstakingly mobilized could only secretly continue walking along the railway tracks further ahead, searching for an empty spot.
Wilford's route circles South America, forming a sloping "U" shape. No matter how heavily guarded, there will always be gaps.
We can just pry it open then!
The ten men in charge of the operation worked in silence, then they saw the railway curve into a forest covered with a large pile of snow.
Inside was the area where the guards were not present.
Without further hesitation, the group immediately plunged inside.
They quickly pulled out various tools, preparing to pry and destroy the railway in silence.
"Once we complete this mission, we can go to North America and enjoy a life of luxury!"
At this moment, almost everyone carrying out the mission was thinking the same thing.
"Start!"
A junior employee had already positioned the hydraulic shears.
Whoosh!
A tremendous sound of wind suddenly arose overhead...
