Voyage of the Stars

Of course, if this technology is to be truly installed on warships and residential spacecraft, more scientific research investment is still needed. After all, it takes a process from theoretical proposal to experimental verification, large-scale application, and batch creation.

But one advantage of scientific and technological civilization is that once a certain technology is mastered, it can be mass-produced.

After the theory of gravitational potential well was proposed and the experimental verification was completed, human scientists have been considering its practical application.

Using it in the floors of warships and spacecraft to act as a gravity effect is one aspect, and it is also the first application that people think of. However, there are still many difficulties in this application, such as how to make the huge floors of warships, residential spacecraft, scientific research ships, and biosphere spacecraft evenly receive the same traction.

This aspect is much more difficult than applying it to preserve antimatter. To preserve antimatter, you only need to create a gravitational potential well, and then you can preserve antimatter in a closed material container. This is something that experimental scientists can already do when doing experiments with matter. It is not too difficult. You only need to continue to improve the stability of the creation, and there will be no big problem.

However, the difficulty of using it as a gravity effect on warships has increased exponentially. Although it is the same technical principle, the difficulty in different applications is also very different. At present, humans want to apply it to warships and various types of spacecraft to act as a gravity effect. There are several main problems.

The first is the distribution of gravitational potential wells, that is, the structural distribution problem. The second is how to insert the gravitational potential well equipment into each floor of the warship, and how the warship should be designed after inserting it. The third is how to solve the problem of the interweaving of the traction potential energy field of the gravitational potential well.

In fact, the first two points are not really difficult. The most important thing is the third point. Human scientists must figure out what kind of physical phenomenon will appear when two gravitational potential wells are intertwined and superimposed. Is it the traction force of the potential well field superimposed or superimposed in other ways, or it becomes a chaotic gravitational potential well field.

You should know that the potential well field energy size distribution of the gravitational potential well is actually a bit like a vortex funnel. The potential well field received at the center of the hole is large, and the edge is relatively small. Of course, this is just an analogy. In fact, the gravitational potential well is different from the vortex funnel. One is the traction force of the three-dimensional space to the point, and the other is the horizontal plane falling to the center.

But no matter what, human scientists must understand what kind of physical phenomena will be caused by the close influence of two gravitational potential wells, and what kind of physical phenomena will appear when three or more gravitational potential wells are arranged and combined in different ways and directions. All these must be understood clearly, so that they can be safely applied to warships and spacecraft.

Any technology, from theory to application, must ensure its safety, and of course comfort.

In today's interstellar era, due to the development of life gene technology, human life individuals are now considered to be thick-skinned and thick-skinned. After entering the overclocking mode, basically all kinds of thermal weapons in the Earth era can be directly resisted by the body.

Of course, weapons of mass destruction can still kill overclocked humans. After all, human genetic modification today still stays in the human form and impact resistance of the flesh, and has not yet involved things like super-strong biological force fields. Naturally, it cannot withstand heavy weapons, even if it is just a heavy weapon of a primitive civilization.

In fact, human resistance to impact is a by-product of strengthening. After all, the original purpose of human strengthening itself is to resist the high G generated by the acceleration of warships, not to study in the direction of specialization and hard resistance to missiles. And if you really want to resist missiles, just put on tactical armor.

Therefore, the research on the application of gravity potential well technology on warships is more about comfort, so that humans will not feel the change in the size of the gravity field they receive after taking two steps, and try to find the best matching plan so that people can feel the traction of the gravity potential well of uniform size.

This is the problem that scientists are currently trying to solve by applying gravity potential well technology to warships and spacecraft, and it is also the focus of their work for some time to come.

Of course, not all scientists do this. For one aspect of application, there are basically only dozens of scientific teams and engineering teams to do it. Other scientific teams have other things to do. After all, there are more than one application technology extended from mastering the grand unified theory.

Speaking of which, gravity potential well technology is actually a product of force field manipulation research, or it can be said to be a phased result of force field manipulation research.

As for force field manipulation, it is a major research direction derived directly from the grand unified theory, mainly focusing on various physical phenomena of the three basic forces of strong interaction, weak interaction, and electromagnetic force under the background of grand unification. There are comprehensive studies of the grand unified force, and there are also studies that analyze the basic forces individually and then try to control the range, scope, and intensity of some of the forces.

There will be many subordinate branch scientific and technological research in both directions, and in the process of researching in these directions, various related derivative technologies will be born. It can be said that force field manipulation research is a major direction, and many application technologies will be born in this research in the future.

Gravitational potential well is just one of the more advanced application technologies.

As for other application technologies, although they have not yet appeared, some derivative technologies can be foreseen, such as the range research in force field control research. If there is progress in this research, then humans will be able to control the range of each interaction force inside certain specific creations through the grand unified equation, so it is very likely that humans will obtain new materials based on the research of grand unified theory force field control.

What material is that?

Experimental physicists and engineers in various fields have already made scientific and technological reports in this regard while studying this topic. The report pointed out that if humans can use the grand unified force field equation to operate the range and action range of a single force, then the action range and force range of the strong force can be lengthened, and the action range of the electromagnetic force can be shortened to the extent that the range and action range of the two forces can be replaced with each other, so that a certain specific creation can show the physical phenomenon that the strong interaction force is a macroscopic force.

The report pointed out that if this can be done, then humans will obtain a new material, which they call strong interaction force material.

According to the force field equation description of the grand unified theory, this kind of material is achievable, and its appearance is only a matter of time. As long as humans continue to delve deeper into force field manipulation, it will appear in human civilization in the near future.
