As the Third Earth Defense Alliance Congress came to an end, two Seagull-class starships set off from Halo City.
The entire project will take five years. During these five years, a steady stream of supplies will be transported from Halo City to Europa. In order to save time and cost, Star Ring Trading decided to advance the star system highway from Mars to the Jupiter system before starting construction.
At the same time, with the disclosure of relevant information about "Golovin", the word extraterrestrial civilization has once again become a hot topic of discussion on the Internet.
Apart from the name, nothing is known about Golovin. There are rumors that they look like humans, with one head and two legs. There are also rumors that they are actually huge and look like the giant octopus in "Europa Report". They live under the ice cap of Europa all year round. The radio waves scattered through the earth deciphered human language, and used holographic images to pretend to be human to deceive other countries...
It has to be said that many of the ideas are quite creative, so much so that Jiang Chen couldn't help but admire that these netizens really have great ideas. However, just like his previous decisions, Star Ring Trading did not clarify these rumors, but allowed them to ferment in disorder.
Even these groundless conjectures have gradually changed from pure curiosity to suspicion and even hostility towards extraterrestrial civilizations.
Only when people are afraid of the outside world will they think about whether they should unite.
…
About a week has passed since the Seagull-class transport ship set off to build roads in the Jupiter system. According to the original promise, Golovin delivered some technologies to the earth's civilization. This part of the technology is mainly research information on gravitons and gravity fields.
For the Star Ring trade, these things are not too precious. They are just supplements to a certain extent for Gaia civilization's deficiencies in research in these two directions. However, for other members of the Earth Defense Alliance, the preciousness of these data is extraordinary.
Taking China as an example, almost as soon as the information was obtained, the Chinese Academy of Sciences took the lead and distributed these documents to research units at all levels for reference by scientific research units involved in the research project.
However, the final result was not ideal.
There is no physical object as a reference, just pale technical information, because the technical span is so large that even in the hands of China's most authoritative scholars in this field, it is as obscure as a heavenly book.
The same is true in Russia. Gorovin's paper on gravitons is like science fiction in the eyes of professors at the Russian Academy of Sciences. Because let alone recording the parameters of gravitons, they cannot even observe gravitons normally. After all, at the forefront of physics, gravitons still exist as a hypothetical particle that transmits gravity.
This is like asking Watt in the 18th century to understand alternating current at the end of the 19th century. It is impossible to understand something that is completely invisible. This is the case with most of the problems faced by scientists in various countries.
Many data can be summarized in just a few strokes on paper, but on the human scientist's side, it requires step-by-step re-experiments to verify.
A conservative estimate is that it may take several years to digest this information. After all, what Golovin provides is not a "flower of memory" that directly instills knowledge, but just a string of hundreds of terabytes of electronic files.
In the next five years, Golovin will continue to provide the earth with the technologies it needs to help earth civilization develop at a faster speed.
Interestingly, it was only after seeing this information that senior officials from various countries began to wake up from the dream of "cruising the Kuiper Belt" and truly realize the gap between themselves and extraterrestrial civilizations.
In the laboratory on the underground floor of the Future Man Building, Dr. Amos showed Jiang Chen his latest research results.
Picking up the belt-like thing from the table, Jiang Chen fiddled with the button in the middle, looked at the dial like a pressure gauge on it, and asked.
"What's this?"
"Gravity Belt."
"Gravity... belt?" Jiang Chen glanced at the belt in his hand in surprise, and turned his questioning gaze to Amos, "How to use this?"
"Just wear it like a belt," Amos said with a smile.
At Amos' prompt, Jiang Chen tied the belt around his waist and then opened the button hidden on the back of the belt. As the switch was turned on, he noticed that the pointer on the pressure gauge-like dial began to vibrate slightly, and finally settled at the middle position.
Looking carefully, there is a medium-sized number "1" written on the end of the pointer.
"The center of the pointer represents 1G gravity, which is the gravity of the earth. Correspondingly, pointing to 2 represents 2G, which represents twice the gravity. By analogy, this gravity belt can reach a minimum of 0.1G and a maximum of 3G... "
Just as Dr. Amos was explaining the function of this gravity belt to Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen had already begun to follow the steps in the instruction manual, rotating the outline of the dial and aligning the silver arrow with the 0.5G position.
With a slight buzzing sound, the pointer on the dial began to shake violently, and finally the pointer stopped at the position of the silver arrow, and Jiang Chen's eyes widened with the feeling coming from under his feet.
The stress point does not come from the waist, but from every part of the body.
It's like every cell has become lighter.
"How is this done?" Jiang Chen asked in surprise after adjusting the gravity index back to the standard value.
"It affects gravity by interfering with gravitons. The specific explanation is very troublesome and involves a lot of technical terms," Dr. Amos shrugged and said with a smile, "In short, you only need to know that with this belt, It is enough for our astronauts to be able to walk normally on the starship."
Not only on starships, the health problems of residents of outer space colonies will also be solved.
You know, being in a low-gravity environment for a long time can have a considerable impact on people's health. If nothing else, osteoporosis alone is enough to kill mammals. Otherwise, Xinghuan Trading would not have specially designed large bowl-shaped buildings in Guanghan City and Tiangong City to generate simulated gravity through rotation to provide health services to the residents of the colonies.
"You digested Golovin's technology so quickly?" Jiang Chen looked at Amos in surprise and asked.
In my impression, the electronic files related to gravity fields and gravitons provided by Golovin seem to be several hundred terabytes in size. Although it contains a large number of holographic compositions, even the pure amount of text is not a small number.
Even if you read it ten lines at a time, you may not be able to finish it in two weeks.
