Chapter 657 Level Derivative Technology
But time flies, and more than ten years have passed in a flash.

The Grand Unified Theory is worthy of being the core theory and landmark theory of the fourth-level civilization. After humans realized the Grand Unified Theory, many technologies based on the Grand Unified Theory appeared one after another, which can be regarded as a wave of technological explosion.

Of course, scientists at the forefront of scientific research all know that it is not really a technological explosion, because they prefer to say that it is the result of long-term accumulation and quantitative changes leading to qualitative changes.

Since the realization of the grand unified theory, many theoretical physicists have faded from the public eye as usual, continuing to work quietly in their fields, continuing to improve the possible flaws of the grand unified theory, and of course, putting more energy into the future development path of mankind.

The development from theory to application is more the work of experimental physicists and top engineers in various fields. The role of ordinary people is to reserve human resources in various fields. The new government will coordinate the overall situation, each link will have its own division of labor, and each department will perform its duties, forming a thriving scene of human civilization.

Over the years, many derivative technologies rooted in the grand unified theory have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Among them, the most talked-about material is the strong interaction material, which is a typical material. It is a mechanical material developed based on the grand unified theory and the grand unified force field as the technical foundation.

It is an application of force field control technology.

Other branch technologies that belong to the framework of force field control technology include all-optical stealth technology, force field shield technology, warp drive technology, gravitational potential well technology, etc.

There are also many applications developed from these technologies.

For example, antimatter storage devices, warp engines, antimatter warp missiles, force field shields, gravity bombs, star destroyers, etc., covering many aspects of the battleship's maneuverability, defense, and attack.

On the other hand, in the field of tachyon research, there are only tachyon detection technology and tachyon communication technology. Many scientists are also committed to tachyon research, hoping to discover other types of tachyons and develop them into superluminal weapons in their phenomena, but no tachyon technology suitable for weapons has been found yet.

Any one of these derivative technologies and applications is enough to defeat the third-level civilization.

For example, the emergence of tachyon detection makes all light-speed weapons of the third-level civilization useless, and all light-speed weapons lose their suddenness, allowing warships to detect them in advance and avoid them at any time.

The emergence of force field shields makes the electromagnetic railgun completely ineffective.

Because the force field in any force field shield actually refers to the grand unified force field. According to the theoretical description, a warship equipped with a grand unified force field shield will form a protective force field like a cover outside the warship when it is turned on. These force fields will be able to play a good defensive role against incoming material attacks.

Instead of confronting it head-on, the attacking object is guided by the Grand Unified Force Field, leading it to other directions, thus avoiding direct hits on the warships. It is like artificially creating a violent turbulent undercurrent around a sailing submarine, and then rolling the incoming torpedoes to other directions.

Yes, force field shields are different from the kind of shields that people imagine can block all physical attacks, or shields that can resist all physical attacks. They cannot be created by a grand unified force field. Scientists actually believe that such shield technology exists, but they think it should be mastered by a more advanced civilization.

It is unknown whether it is a Level 5 or 6 civilization. Humans know very little about this. After all, the diamond crystals that represented the pioneers did not mention it, and the awakeners did not show such an ability in front of humans. Based on this, some human scientists speculate that the shield may be a special technology that only certain races can master.

All of these are derivative technologies and related applications of the grand unified theory.

Of course, these are mostly applications in the general direction. They are reflected in the progress of the entire civilization, directly raising the combat power of the entire civilization to a higher level. As for the changes in the human body and individual human life, there are actually some, but compared to the use on warships, they are somewhat insignificant.

For example, after the realization of the grand unified theory, human biological scientists added the concept of grand unified mechanics to the biological brain and consciousness, combined it with the previous quantum mechanics, and re-established a new biological brain model to study the technology of biological consciousness.

Then they were surprised to find that the 'mind imprinting' technology previously mastered by humans did have loopholes, or unknown side effects.

The Academy of Life Sciences spent more than a decade studying this unknown side effect, and found that this side effect seems to affect the imagination and innovation of intelligent life. In other words, any intelligent life that has been branded with thoughts may have its creativity imprisoned at the same time.

Confinement is only a phased result of the current Human Life Sciences Academy, and there may be other unknown effects, but they are still unknown. Also, biologists are not sure whether this effect will be passed down from generation to generation.

This discovery made the human leaders feel lucky. When this technology appeared, the new human government explicitly stipulated that it should not be used on humans themselves. Now it seems that this decision was really correct.

It also shows that human thought imprinting technology is not a complete technology, it may just be a derivative technology in a certain direction of technological development. In short, looking at this technology at the current level of human technology, scientists feel that it is even weirder than when they first mastered this technology.

Because their vision was still at the level of Level 3 civilization, the scientists at the School of Life Sciences thought that this technology was very reasonable and perfect. But after mastering the Grand Unified Theory and incorporating various concepts designed by the Grand Unified Theory, they felt that it was strange to master this technology at the level of Level 3 civilization.

There is even a weird feeling.

Scientists realized that this matter seemed to be a bit serious, so they reported it.

As the leader of the civilization, Yue Yuan quickly noticed the relevant reports, so he went to the School of Life Sciences to learn more about it. This trip made him a little confused. Because the scientists of the School of Life Sciences told him about the various side effects of the thought imprinting technology, and also told him many details of the implementation of the thought imprinting technology, as well as their various records of individual lives that had been used with the thought imprinting technology over the years.

After learning these details, Yue Yuan frowned even more, because he deeply felt some unspeakable malice from these records.

"We humans seem to have mastered this extremely dangerous technology inexplicably. It can even easily destroy the entire future of civilization." This is what Yi Kai said to Yue Yuan when he left the School of Life Sciences.
