The faster-than-light experiments were carried out many times, lasting more than a year, and the Hogu were finally able to put faster-than-light technology into practical use.

During this time, they found a lot of problems, such as:

The mass of the gravitational ring is very large, although it is a moving mass, but the flow of particles moving in a circle at nearly the speed of light in the ring can be approximated as a whole, and the energy required to move the gravitational ring is equivalent to the energy required to deflect the particle beam.

Due to the gravitational pull of the particle beam, the protons of the gravitational ring are tightly bonded to the protons, and it is not easy to move such an object that reaches the density of a neutron star.

So the ability of faster-than-light organisms to turn is a big problem.

If it is a giant creature that does not move like a ripple giant, the problem of consumption is fine, because it can be replenished at any time, but a faster-than-light organism is a movable unit, and if it needs to consume a huge amount of energy to turn in one direction, it needs to carry a huge amount of antimatter.

Otherwise, if you run out of antimatter in a few turns, how can you still go into battle?

Fortunately, the problem can be solved, and the negative matter is also used for deflection, and by releasing the negative matter generated on the side of the gravitational ring in front of it, when the repulsion is unbalanced, the faster-than-light organism can be turned.

And the energy consumed is very small, after all, the negative matter produced does not require faster-than-light organisms to invest energy, so it only needs to consume the energy of the on/off valve.

There is also a structural ring that stores negative matter at the back end, with the increase of negative matter, the repulsion force will increase, and after reaching a certain peak, the electromagnetic force of the molecular material has no way to restrain the negative substance.

This question is troublesome and directly related to the upper limit of the faster-than-light that faster-than-light organisms can reach.

Theoretically, the speed of superlight can at least reach the rate of superluminal expansion of the Big Bang, and it can run tens of thousands of light-years in a Planck time, easily and stress-free.

However, there is a prerequisite, that is, the encapsulated container of negative matter can withstand such a strong negative matter 'universal repulsion', which is equivalent to the gravitational force close to the order of a black hole, and the repulsive force of universal repulsion will not be lower than the order of a black hole at least.

There are two basic forces that collectors can use, one is electromagnetic force, the other is gravity, electromagnetic force materials are molecular materials, and it is undoubtedly a bit whimsical to fight against the power of black holes, while gravity and repulsion are opposite, and the two will only neutralize each other when they meet, that is, the universal repulsion force will weaken.

This problem has been bothering the collectors for a long time, but fortunately, there is no solution, and the problem is finally solved.

Another example is the communication between each other, the speed of electromagnetic waves in the medium is the speed of light, but the speed of living organisms when traveling faster than the speed of light is faster than the speed of light, although the same speed and the same direction are relatively stationary, but this speed of light is not a motion with inertia, so it cannot be used as an inertial frame reference.

It's like sitting on a train and throwing a stone out of the window, the stone falls to the ground in a parabola from the perspective of the person on the train, and the stone falls to the ground in a parabola from the perspective of an outsider.

Because the train is moving, the movement has its own inertia, but the superluminal speed developed by Hogu does not have inertia, and the limit of the speed of light still exists, so the radio is delivered horizontally to other faster-than-light organisms with the same speed and direction, and by the time the radio reaches the position of the organism, the faster-than-light organism has already run away.

Therefore, in order to use radio to construct information exchange, it is necessary to calculate the advance amount and release the radio in front of other faster-than-light organisms, so as to ensure the reception of radio information.

And the higher the speed of light, the greater the tilt angle of such radio communication, and the longer it takes for information to be transmitted.

After solving all the problems, faster-than-light technology began to mature, and collectors began to build practically fast-moving organisms.

This time, the gatherers constructed four gravitational rings in space, all equal in size and mass.

These gravitational rings are used as gravitational sources for the production of negative matter, and are placed at the front of the keel of the organism, which is the head of an antimatter shield.

The four gravitational rings were then wrapped, using the metal skeleton to construct the pipes as before, and spiraling twisting towards the rear end of the keel, where the ring container was built to store the negative matter.

Such a structure does not look high-end, that is, a straight keel is covered with a cylinder at the front end and a cylinder at the rear end.

Such a design was discovered by the Hogu after many experiments, and the complex gravitational rings and structural rings that store negative matter can increase the distortion of space-time without increasing the strength of the material.

The plural rings are integrated into a cylindrical structural design.

In addition, this time, the structure ring and the pipes were covered with a circle of small gravitational rings, and the collectors planned to use the strength of the gravitational rings themselves to fight against the universal repulsion.

Although the universal repulsion force will cancel out the gravitational force, if the gravitational efficiency of the small gravitational ring is negative to the repulsion force of matter, the repulsive force will still exist, and then the repulsion will oppose the structural strength of the gravitational ring.

Needless to say, the structural strength of the gravitational ring will not be easily disintegrated even if it is extended to the stellar scale.

Biological pulses are no longer needed, and faster-than-light creatures can move around the universe entirely on negative matter, and the energy consumed may be much smaller than lighting a campfire.

On the reactor carried by the organism, the gatherers who were supposed to carry the antimatter reactor were stopped by Hogu.

"This time we will use a fission reactor, don't rush it, ensure safety first, and then consider going further."

"Understood."

Although it is a practical faster-than-light organism, this is the first sea trial, not a battle with a high energy demand, so it was decided to use a relatively safer fission reactor, and the collectors do not need to think about the cost of modification when modifying their own bodies anyway.

The solid brain is placed in the middle of the organism, where the gravitational and repulsive forces of the gravitational ring cancel each other out, where space-time is not distorted, and the passage of time is the same as that of normal space-time.

Then, multiple biological atomic clocks are attached around the solid-state brain to accurately display the time in real time and transmit the time information to the solid-state brain.

This is to grasp the distance traveled, the balance between gravity and repulsion, and the time recorded in the normal space-time environment will not be distorted, so the actual distance traveled can be obtained directly through the speed formula, multiplying the speed and time.

"So, let's start the sea trials."

"Set sail!"

Faster-than-light creatures that have completed the construction of their own bodies gradually move in the expanding space-time distorted by negative matter.
