Voyage of the Stars

At this moment, humans have mastered the manufacturing process of warp engines, and of course, they also understand the driving principle of warp navigation, but they still don’t understand the interaction of various forces in the warp engine. This is like knowing how to make various things, but not understanding the force analysis of these things.

Then it is obvious that the next step for humans is to understand the mechanism, to understand what happened in the core driving component of the warp engine during the process of forming warp navigation, and how the various forces inside drive the distortion of space and time.

Human scientists believe that the principle of the grand unified theory is hidden here.

There is nothing wrong with working hard in this direction. Of course, there are also various experimental data provided by astronomical particle colliders. Humans believe that at this point, as long as they continue to move forward, it is only a matter of time to discover the knowledge of the grand unified theory.

It is just around the corner.

When the successful experiment of the warp engine was announced, humans began to look forward to it. Humans are just one step away from the fourth-level civilization, and ordinary people are naturally happy.

Because this is a matter for all mankind, they all know that every time the level of civilization is upgraded, it will bring earth-shaking changes to the entire human race, and the so-called earth-shaking changes will definitely include all human individuals.

Even the entire social form, social relations, human living standards, and lifestyles may undergo tremendous changes, just like when the second-level civilization was upgraded to the third-level civilization. The full use of true nanotechnology has made everyone a superman-like existence, and everyone has therefore obtained the super-powerful transformation of "overclocking mode".

This is the real enhancement that technology brings to human individuals.

This is the case with the third-level civilization. When it reaches the fourth-level civilization, even if the individual's physical strength is not enhanced, it will be reflected in various tools, and many foreseeable technologies will appear in people's lives.

For example, superluminal communication and warp speed navigation, these two things alone will change the previous human mode, which will make humans no longer worry about communication delays. It is conceivable that the scope of human activities will inevitably expand, and interstellar navigation will truly become commonplace.

By then, ordinary human individuals can even drive their own spaceships to leave the civilization fleet and go to some nearby planets to play or explore, without having to worry about communication delays causing loss of contact. This will greatly enrich people's lifestyles.

Enriching life is also a way to improve the spiritual civilization of human individuals. For people who stay on residential spacecraft all year round, they are also eager for new changes. Some people have begun to imagine that after humans step into the fourth level of civilization, they will develop their own new lifestyle.

In this way, in people's eager anticipation, humans have accumulated for half a century and finally have a set of self-consistent theories of various data brought by experimental data and research on the working principle of warp engines. And it is this set of self-consistent theories that humans see the background environment of astronomical particle colliders during the collision process and make an analysis of the interaction of three basic forces in this environment.

And these analyses, after the efforts of countless mathematicians and physicists, finally converged into a formula expressed in human mathematical language.

In this formula, strong interaction force, weak interaction force, electromagnetic force, and symbols describing space-time changes and superluminal factors are included. They are practiced together through a group of mathematical symbols to form an equation.

After getting this formula, scientists brought various input data of the previous warp engine into it and found that all of them were self-consistent, and even the size and shape of the warp bubble generation could be reflected in the formula.

It is worth mentioning that this formula has many variant formulas, that is, derivation formulas in certain aspects, which are mainly used to express the three basic forces with different emphases. This formula perfectly unifies the three basic forces and perfectly explains the fact that the electromagnetic force, strong force and weak force are one force under certain conditions.

Human beings have finally found the formula of the grand unified theory and finally mastered the symbol theory of the fourth-level civilization.

This formula looks so simple. When it was announced, every human could easily write it down, but behind every symbol and every letter of this simple equation composed of mathematical symbols, there are countless human scientists' firm belief and struggle.

The emergence of the mathematical expression of the grand unified theory is not the credit of a mathematician's intelligence, but the result of the joint efforts of human scientific teams behind the scenes. If the hard-working engineers had not put in the effort to design the astronomical particle collider, if the new government had not made up its mind, if countless scientific teams had not climbed up from failure again and again, and if batches of scientists had not continued to try and make mistakes, this formula would not have appeared.

So it belongs to the entire human race, it is the progress of mankind at the peak of science, and it is the progress of the entire human civilization.

At this moment, all human beings can shout: "Level 4 civilization, here we come!"

There was originally no civilization level division in the universe, and the logic behind the civilization level division was not a rigid rule, but was determined by a certain extremely difficult to achieve theory or technology. After a civilization obtains this theory or technology, it can form an absolute strength to crush the civilization without this theory or technology.

The essence behind it is the depth of understanding of the laws of the universe.

Later, some good-hearted civilizations divided these barriers more clearly, and then they were recognized by later civilizations, which formed the civilization level that circulated among cosmic civilizations.

Just like the different classifications of civilization levels by the pioneers in ancient times, if we follow that classification method, what humans now master is the necessary theory to step into the threshold of interstellar civilization.

The current level 1, 2, and 3 civilizations are all aerospace civilizations, while level 4, 5, and 6 civilizations are interstellar civilizations. As for level 6 and above, the pioneers called them cosmic civilizations, but even the pioneers themselves did not reach that level.

In other words, after the mathematical expression of the grand unified theory was announced, the news that humans mastered the grand unified theory spread throughout human civilization and even several other affiliated races.

At this moment, all humans and the intelligent life groups attached to human civilization were boiling, and countless humans spontaneously celebrated in various ways, and every living spaceship became very lively.

Happy humans gathered together to open champagne, drink beer, or cook some strange food, wear their favorite clothes, and gather in groups of three or five to pay tribute to every scientist who silently contributed behind the formula in their own way.

At this moment, the human race seemed to be united as one, and everyone was proud to be human. After seeing some of the human videos being reposted to the Chiyan Civilization, the Nairs, the Kobolds, and the Kuntai groups, and then seeing the praise comments posted by these aliens under the videos, these ordinary humans were even more proud.
