Voyage of the Stars

I believe everyone is familiar with what strong interaction force materials are. They are the materials used in the water drop detectors made by the Three-Body Civilization in the novels of the human Earth era.

Of course, novels are different from reality after all. The strong interaction force materials described in novels use a special force field to eliminate the electromagnetic force between particles, so that the strong force becomes dominant, and the protons and neutrons are firmly pressed together, turning into a material with zero surface friction coefficient, indestructible, no longer vibrating particles, and a temperature infinitely close to absolute zero.

It is a light total reflection material.

However, scientists of human civilization now have discovered through the grand unified force field equation that the grand unified force field equation cannot theoretically eliminate the electromagnetic force. The existence of the four fundamental forces is objective. The grand unified theory is to unify three of them. Therefore, one of the forces can never be eliminated in the equation, and it cannot be eliminated in theory, let alone in actual research and experiments.

However, it is possible to change the force range and interaction range on a certain specific creation to a certain extent through force field operation, such as swapping the range and force range of strong force and electromagnetic force, so that strong force becomes a macroscopic apparent force. Of course, this force field manipulation process must have strong energy support. As for how to operate it specifically, scientists and engineers are still studying experiments. Generally speaking, it is to operate the three basic forces in the creation through some kind of force field probe based on the grand unified force field equation to achieve the desired results.

It is worth mentioning that this operation process is not possible in any environment, but must be under the background conditions of the grand unified force field. In other words, if you want to produce strong interaction materials, humans have to build corresponding material manufacturing factories.

There is no doubt about this.

As for how strong the strong interaction materials can be, we can only really understand it after testing them after they are actually produced. However, this kind of material that can only be produced by reaching the fourth-level civilization is, needless to say, a crushing level for the third-level civilization creation.

Sooner or later, human beings will have their own strong interaction material detectors.

Strong interaction materials are one kind, but force field manipulation is a general direction, and its branch technologies are more than just gravitational potential wells and strong interaction materials. During the preliminary research, a scientific research team used the No. 2 alloy that humans currently have to conduct relevant firm experiments. They found that this alloy material, which was determined to be a quantum material at that time, actually showed a certain shadow of force field control, but not much.

It is a quantum material, but if you look at it from the perspective of the grand unified force field equation, it is also a special electromagnetic force performance material. It presents a field distribution different from that of ordinary objects in the force field structure, such as a physical property that appears after some microscopic quantum interweaving of electromagnetic force and weak interaction force.

From this perspective, it is indeed a quasi-fourth-level civilization material. When humans made No. 2 alloy, they did not have the fourth-level civilization technology. It was extremely unlikely that they could make it. It was a blind cat that met a dead mouse.

In terms of force field control, humans have found that the branch technology that can be studied is not only material technology, but also some optical-based technologies, such as optical invisibility.

Optical invisibility is not visible light invisibility, but optical full-band invisibility.

Scientists have found that in theory, they can start with force field control and adjust the performance of the electromagnetic field force field, so that the surface of the object is covered with a layer of strange electromagnetic field. This electromagnetic field has no other effects, only the effect of full refraction of light.

Regardless of the wavelength of light, any light that enters this special electromagnetic field will be affected by the special magnetic field, refracted, and then bypass the object in the direction of the magnetic field. Just like water passing over a duck's back, there will be no reflected light, no diffuse reflection, and no diffraction.

Scientists call this special electromagnetic field an invisible electromagnetic field, because light that penetrates the invisible electromagnetic field will go around the electromagnetic field and then be emitted from the other end of the object in the same direction as the incident angle, so from the perspective of an optical observer, the object is completely invisible.

All optical means cannot detect the object, which is truly invisible.

However, it is obvious that from a theoretical point of view, this kind of invisibility can be detected by gravitational technology, such as gravitational wave detectors, but the required gravitational wave detectors must be very accurate, and special "particles" such as tachyons can also be used as detectors.

From this perspective, this invisible electromagnetic field seems to be useless. It is indeed useless. After all, there is no fourth-level civilization that does not master the tachyon detection technology. However, it is not useless. For example, a warship equipped with electromagnetic field cloaking is invincible to civilizations below the fourth-level civilization. Without high-precision gravitational wave detection and tachyon detection, such a warship cannot be discovered at all.

It can be said that if humans are willing, they can completely create a detector with electromagnetic field cloaking, and then hang it on the mother planet of the third-level civilization to observe them all the time without worrying about being discovered, unless the blind cat hits the dead mouse during operation and hits the spacecraft in orbit.

The advantage of a higher-level civilization over a lower-level civilization is so outrageous that a fourth-level civilization can easily take out a technological creation, whether it is a strong interaction material or an invisible electromagnetic field, which is enough to crush the third-level civilization.

So are there any other derivative technologies in the field of force control? Of course there are. After mastering the grand unified theory, scientists have already had their minds blown. They think that force field control can also be used on the shields of warships. Based on the grand unified theory, force field control is used as a means to construct a grand unified force field.

Scientists call this shield, which is still only in the theoretical demonstration stage, a force field shield. If successful, it will be the main defense shield for human warships in the future.

As for the research on related new weapons, humans will naturally not fall behind. Not only did they not fall behind, but many experts have actually been doing research on new weapons after mastering the grand unified theory.

First of all, it is still in the opposite direction of force field control technology. Experts immediately thought of gravity bombs. They think that they can create a powerful bomb that can cause force field turbulence based on gravity potential well technology. Yes, anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that gravity bombs are weapons that exist specifically to destroy force field shields.

The competition of contradictions still exists even in space and interstellar.

On the other hand, there is the application of antimatter. Since the fourth-level civilization uses antimatter as its core fuel, it must have the ability to mass-produce antimatter, so humans naturally cannot ignore antimatter-related weapons.

The appearance of weapons such as antimatter bombs and antimatter warp missiles is a foregone conclusion.

In addition, some weapon experts who advocate miracles with great power also believe that the electromagnetic cannon mastered by the third-level civilization has a lot of room for improvement. It can be further upgraded with the technology of the fourth-level civilization, and its electromagnetic structure can be changed to a grand unified force field drive, and then the electromagnetic shells can be directly replaced with antimatter.

The weapon is still in the conceptual design stage, and these weapon design experts who advocate miracles with great power have claimed that this is a powerful weapon that combines the advantages of extreme kinetic impact and antimatter destructive power.
