Chapter 887 Planetary Warp Technology

Shaking his head to put aside these things in the distant future, Yue Yuan turned his attention back to the present.

It has been more than two hundred years since humans came to this starry sky. Judging from the current research progress, we will probably have to stay here for a long time.

The negative matter production experiment has been going on for some time, and perhaps because we have taken the right path and have reached the right technology, the experiment has been a complete success. It took humans only two and a half years to complete the transformation of negative matter from experiment to mass production. However, because the theory of everything has not been fully mastered, humans still cannot create a device that can store negative matter.

Therefore, at this stage, it can only be used for experiments in the form of negative energy after it is produced, or it can be stored in the form of negative energy. For this purpose, humans have also built several spacecraft specifically for storing negative energy and used them as oil storage tanks.

As we all know, the emergence of a technology will inevitably infer technological progress in technology-related fields. The same is true for the emergence of negative energy. In order to build these "oil storage tank" spacecraft, humans racked their brains and tried every possible way, and finally achieved a breakthrough in material technology through continuous efforts.

That is, the production and processing technology of fermion condensed matter related to the transmission and storage of negative energy. Humans have officially developed this material from quantum shutter manufacturing in the almost microscopic quantum field to a practical macroscopic conduit.

As we all know, the fundamental type of particles that make up what we call matter are fermions, because they obey the Pauli exclusion principle, which requires that no two or more particles can be in exactly the same state in order to constitute matter.

Therefore, this condensed matter composed of fermions can itself form matter like the one we see.

Unfortunately, this kind of fermion condensed matter, which calls itself a negative energy pathway conduit, cannot exist stably at room temperature. It can only exist stably below minus 200 degrees Celsius and under a certain pressure. This is indeed a disadvantage for them to be used as pipelines, but it is not difficult to solve with current human technology.

In fact, the more difficult part is the process of making a negative energy conduit using Fermi condensate matter. It requires that there will be no positive energy pulses in the conduit to drown out the negative energy. Therefore, this kind of conduit is not really a pipe like a water pipe, but a grid-like interior designed based on the detection results of the wormhole negative energy field.

It can effectively allow the passing negative energy to form magical turbulence when filling the grid. This turbulence can not only avoid the occurrence of positive energy pulses, but also speed up the transmission efficiency of negative energy.

The emergence of such materials has given humans a real foundation for utilizing negative energy, just like humans created the first electric wire.

With this catheter material, many scientific research teams have turned their attention to the fourth-generation warp engine technology.

At this time, humans are certainly continuing to explore the theory of everything, but there are more than one or two scientific research teams in the world. While there are those exploring the theory of everything, there are naturally also those engaged in scientific research in other directions.

The advancement of science and technology is a comprehensive advancement, and naturally different disciplines must also advance in parallel.

Therefore, humans have been conducting research on warp engines. Now, with the maturity of negative matter production technology and the emergence of negative energy application technology, the research on the fourth-generation warp engine has officially entered the right track.

Planetary warp engines, everyone yearns for them. However, as time goes by, scientists in the field of dynamics realize that the existing warp engine framework seems incompatible with negative energy, and it seems impossible to upgrade the original warp engine structure.

After realizing this problem, scientists conducted several feasibility analyses and ultimately concluded that the original framework could not support the negative energy system. If they wanted to create a fourth-generation warp engine, they had to start from scratch and build a warp engine suitable for the negative energy framework.

It was like starting from scratch, and for a moment even the dynamics experts were at a loss as to where to start.

However, with collective efforts, some smart people always come up with a solution, and the solution is simple, which is to start from the properties of negative matter and negative energy and the structure of the Fermi condensate conduit.
At first, engineering experts believed that the fourth-generation warp engine was very different from the previous ones. It should be an engine driven by negative energy based on the framework of the Theory of Everything. However, as the research deepened, although humans understood more and more about negative matter, negative energy and wormholes, they realized that they were wrong.

Negative energy can indeed be used as a driving energy, but negative energy alone cannot meet the requirements of driving a planet. When they first saw the calculation results of mathematicians, they thought the reason was just like the fourth-level civilization, with the first-level warp speed just entering the fourth-level civilization, followed by the second and third-level warp speeds.
But continuous corrections to experimental data and precise mathematical solutions told them that this was not the case.

Negative energy alone cannot power a planet.

If humans didn't think anything of it when they didn't know that Level 5 civilizations possessed planetary warp capabilities, they might have continued down this path to the end, but humans have known about this for countless times.

Now, the mathematical solution obtained based on the prototype of the framework of the Theory of Everything clearly tells human scientists that it is indeed not feasible. Doing so will definitely not be able to drive something as massive as a planet. Battleships are fine, but the warp speed will definitely not reach 100 times the speed of light.

The answer appeared after human beings' understanding of negative energy and the theoretical model of everything were further optimized.

Theory tells humans that if they want to master planetary-level warp technology, negative energy alone is not enough, but they must also combine it with traditional warp engine technology that utilizes positive energy. Of course, this traditional technology must now be based on the framework of the Theory of Everything.

The principle can be roughly summarized in four words: "pull from front and push from back".

As we all know, the operating principle of the warp engine is the curvature of space-time. Under the action of the force field, a distorted space-time bubble is formed outside the spacecraft, also called a warp bubble. Then, through the different warp force fields at the front and back ends, the space-time in front is extremely distorted and the space-time at the back is stretched, thus achieving warp navigation.

In the past, only the force field formed by positive energy distorted the space-time in front of the warp bubble, but now the negative energy field must be added. The negative energy field is responsible for the stretching of space-time behind it, because the negative energy field itself has this property, which is why they can maintain the stability of the wormhole.

The adjustment of the front and rear force fields needs to be based on the framework of the Theory of Universal GEOGRAPHY, because only the super force field under the framework of the Theory of Universal GEOGRAPHY can perfectly manipulate the force fields formed by the positive and negative energy fields to avoid the positive energy swallowing up the negative energy, thereby achieving planetary warp speed.

Now mankind has finally come to a profound understanding of why the Theory of Everything is the hallmark of Level Five Civilization.
