Chapter 13: Virtual Reality

“…… Fifty times the speed of light is a bit of a drain on the power of faith. ”

Lu Yuanming said distressedly.

At present, there is only one way for human beings to normally exceed the speed of light in the material world, and that is to use the curvature generator left by the Aibo civilization to create curvature bubbles, and then enter the curvature voyage to break through the speed of light.

But there are two sides to this approach.

The first is that the energy consumption is very huge, the curvature generator is to create a layer of curvature bubble in material space-time, according to the size and duration of the curvature bubble to determine the energy to be consumed, the more huge the curvature bubble, the longer the duration, the more energy needs to be consumed.

If you want to create the curvature bubble of the existing Mothership class of the Universe Emperor and maintain its existence for a year, then it will take eleven or twelve years of Dyson cloud energy storage, of course, now that humans have created an antimatter annihilation reactor, plus the energy of Dyson Cloud, then it will not take eleven or twelve years.

But this is enough to illustrate the horror of the energy required to sail at curvature, and it is also for this reason that the Aibo civilization built the Dyson Cloud in the first place.

Second, the curvature generator is not powerful enough.

Although the energy consumed is very large, the vertical drop of the curvature bubble created by the curvature generator is not large.

The reason why curvature navigation can exceed the speed of light is that the spatial pulling effect caused by the difference in the curvature of space-time is adopted, that is, the trough of space-time curvature in the extreme environment similar to that of a black hole is simulated.

Approximately similar to when the scooter slides on flat ground, you need to keep using your feet to do work, the greater the strength, the more work you do, the faster the speed of the scooter, but if it is a slope, then the scooter will automatically slide down, and the steeper the slope, the faster the speed of the scooter.

According to the situation detected in the future reunion plan, when the Moon entered the gravitational range of the black hole, at the edge of the event horizon, the Moon detected a space-time curvature drop that can form more than 1,500 times the speed of light.

Of course, it is the extreme case of the black hole, and it can also be said to be the most extreme case in the universe, which is almost equivalent to the curvature of space-time falling vertically, and it is naturally impossible for ordinary curvature navigation to reach more than 1,500 times the speed of light, but there are dozens of times, one or two hundred times the speed of light to meet the normal speed of curvature navigation.

The curvature generator is clearly not up to this level, reaching a top speed of only ten times the speed of light, while consuming more than three times more energy than the numbers calculated by the Space Ring supercomputer matrix.

This is obviously a castration defect version of the curvature generator, I don't know if it's because of its technological level limitations, or if it was deliberately made into a castration defect version when it was originally manufactured, and its own meaning is a trap?

Now human beings are still unable to make curvature generators, which is obviously the creation of fourth-level cosmic civilizations, although after future plans, a large amount of principle information of curvature generators has been analyzed and calculated, but human beings still have insurmountable technological barriers to make curvature generators.

But it doesn't matter, the technology is insufficient, and the extraordinary comes to make up.

Humans happen to be an open-minded race......

Although the size of the curvature bubble made by the curvature generator has not changed, and the space-time curvature gap of the curvature bubble has not changed, Lu Yuanming's cognition has increased the space-time curvature gap in its drop, which is equivalent to turning a gentle slope into a steeper slope.

At the beginning, Lu Yuanming just tried it with an attitude of trying, anyway, he even did something against the sky like matter reaching the speed of nearly light, there is no reason why he can't do it in curvature, right?

Anyway, he'd read a lot of scientific books on curvature bubbles, curvature navigation, and space-time curvature, and he thought he had figured them all out, so he was absolutely fine.

As he expected, he actually created a space-time curvature gap, and the duration of the space-time curvature gap was determined according to the duration of the curvature bubble.

The only flaw is that the consumption of colorless light particles is huge, and in terms of the maximum 50 times the curvature drop of space-time that he can increase by his current cognition, it takes 15 billion colorless light particles to maintain a year, that is, to run a distance of 50 light years!

Thankfully, this is the same as pushing matter to near the speed of light, regardless of the size of the curvature bubble, only in terms of the duration and the steepness of the space-time curvature drop, so he can still accelerate it in this way when the mothership sails later, but it is the same as the near-light speed of matter, which cannot be used as a regular skill.

A space battleship, plus fifteen mechs and fifteen commissioners on board, as well as three qualified special mecha and three qualified people, plus a scientific research team, and 15,000 fully loaded astronauts, this is the advance research force.

They were responsible for exploring the coordinates forty-two light-years away, studying whether there was really a wormhole at that location, and if there was a wormhole, they would investigate and study the area around the wormhole, and at the same time build a forward base and wait for the arrival of a large army.

This fleet carries a two-particle entanglement communicator, which can communicate with another particle inside the moon at any distance, and mankind has only created three two-particle entanglement communicators so far.

On the other hand, with the achievement of the first five-year plan, the second phase of great development continued.

There are still 60% of the work of the mothership Space Emperor that has not yet been completed, and half of the construction of the four major space fleet groups and the mechs equipped on them has not yet been completed, all of which need to be completed in the next five years, but with the completion of the first five-year plan, whether it is the operation of the spaceship, or the proficiency of the workers, etc., all have been greatly improved and optimized, so the remaining workload is expected to be completed in about three and a half years.

Everyone's urgency has also eased to varying degrees, especially as the national life expectancy has increased to the limit of 350 years, and the imminent threat of the sterilization curse seems to be gradually fading.

This is actually human nature.

The previous state of clockwork going up to the limit, and everyone being tense to the limit, was sick.

Therefore, after some discussion among the high-level government officials, it was decided to change the working hours to eight hours a day inside the moon and ten hours a day outside the moon.

On the other hand, with the leapfrog improvement of human science and technology, the people's demand for technology and entertainment is also increasing, the most important of which is naturally the voice of video games...... It just so happens that Lu Yuanming also wants to ......

“…… No, I don't understand. ”

Lu Yuanming found Bai Ye, and he muttered dissatisfiedly: "Why is your generation so hostile to video games?" But there are public voices saying that immersive virtual reality games can be developed, why do you even plan to introduce the strictest review system for video games, not only will you not make virtual reality games, but even declare all private or corporate research on brain-computer interfaces illegal? ”

Bai Ye looked at Lu Yuanming with a smile, and he said, "The reason why you didn't make a decision directly, or even hold a discussion meeting, but ran directly to me, doesn't this prove that you know the reason?" ”

Lu Yuanming didn't want to deny it, he said bluntly: "That's right, I can probably understand the reason why you do this, but we are all rational, right?" You're worried that people will become addicted to the metaverse and ignore the real universe because of the birth of virtual reality games, right? But you must also understand that entertainment is human nature, and with the progress of science, virtual reality games will definitely appear, which is not transferred by your will, let alone by administrative power! ”

Bai Ye was silent for a while, and he suddenly said to Lu Yuanming: "Have you read the development and exploration report of the Xianxia Preface Vision?" ”

Lu Yuanming was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what Bai Ye meant by suddenly changing the topic, so he said, "Of course I have it." ”

"You definitely haven't read those detailed experiment reports, about the ...... of martial arts people," Bai Ye said as he lit a cigarette.

Lu Yuan really didn't read every report in detail, otherwise he might not even be able to read a tenth of it twenty-four hours a day, and those reports involving the development of the Xianxia Sequence World, unless it was a person from the material world who died, he would only pay attention to a general idea.

Bai Ye stood up and said, "Let's go, let's take a look...... In the world of Xianxia Order, we conducted brain-computer interface experiments on some of the most heinous people in the martial arts, and tailored virtual reality games for them, which was written in the report, but since you haven't seen it, let's witness the terrifying scene with your own eyes......"

"It's not just about addiction."

Lu Yuanming was surprised, he first went back to the office to find the relevant report, and then took Bai Ye to the dark matter world, looking at the report as he walked.

This is almost a month ago report, and the public opinion on the development of virtual reality games began more than three months ago, the report also clearly mentioned the various advantages and disadvantages of the development of virtual reality games, and the five senior management executives also discussed, indeed as Lu Yuanming said, some people are conservative, thinking that it may cause people to become addicted, and some people are radical, feeling that with the progress of science and technology, virtual reality will inevitably come.

So after that, I used those martial arts people in the Xianxia Order World to do the experiment.

Some of these martial arts people are really heinous, such as those who eat human flesh, they are not even human beings in the eyes of the unified government, and it is natural to use them for any experiments.

Then, in the world of Xianxia Order, Lu Yuanming saw a monster......

Literally a monster!
