City: World's No. 1 College

Early October.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

inside a classroom.

Professor George Smoot is giving ~ students a physics class.

He is the winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Physics and a world-renowned astrophysicist and cosmologist.

Every student is listening carefully and immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

George has just talked about the possibility of interstellar travel.

A student named John immediately asked: "Professor, with today's technology, can a warp drive be developed?"

"impossible!"

George on the railroad: "The warp drive is impossible!"

John puzzled: "Professor, the theoretical physicist Alcubiere, perfected the theory of the warp drive back then.

Moreover, the Ligo Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory discovered naturally occurring gravitational waves, proving that nature exists to build the basis for warp engines.

Since 1996, our space agency has been working on warp drives, and it's not going to make any progress, right?"

Many students in the classroom were at a loss when they heard the conversation between the two.

What is a warp engine?

Professor George looked around, saw the blank eyes of the students, and took the initiative to explain:

"In 1994, theoretical physicist Alcubierre proposed the theory of warp drive.

The warp drive is a superluminal propulsion system, which can theoretically help humans achieve interstellar travel and truly enter the space age.

Its principle is to generate a warp bubble by a certain method, so that the warp bubble can compress the space-time in front of the spacecraft, and at the same time expand the space-time in the back, so as to achieve superluminal flight.

In the early years, when the scientific community mentioned the warp drive, it was often ridiculed that it was impossible to achieve.

However, in recent years, White, the head of the Eagle Factory Laboratory of my country's National Aeronautics and Space Administration, said.

Alcubiere's warp engine theory is very reasonable.

Since then, the Eagle Factory Laboratory has been working on the warp drive.

Unfortunately, with the existing technology, we can't develop it at all!"

John asked again: "Professor, what are the difficulties in the development of the warp engine? 99

George said bluntly: "There are so many difficulties!

First, to create a warp drive, we must master the technology of using energy to alter the gravitational field.

Second, we need electromagnetic fields or masses of extremely high energy density to cause space-time distortions, which must consume staggering amounts of energy.

Third, we need to master the technology of no working substance engine.

Fourth, we need breakthroughs in materials science.

Fifth, we need to develop a light speed deflector to control the direction.

Sixth, we need to make breakthroughs in the field of quantum physics and quantum mechanics.

Seventh, if there is not enough research funds in the field, everything is empty talk. ""

Hear this.

John was stunned for a moment, then excitedly said: "Professor, what you just said can theoretically be realized! 95

"Oh?

George was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

John said excitedly: "Professor, Xia Guo has mastered anti-gravity technology, controllable nuclear fusion technology, non-working substance engine technology and artificial intelligence.

Nebula University also has Nebula Materials Center and Nebula Quantum Center, and the basic conditions are fully met!

More importantly, they have massive scientific research funds!

The voice just fell.

George waved his hand and said: "Xia Guo's technology does have the prerequisites for developing a warp engine.

But what the future holds for the warp engine is anyone's guess.

No country will invest huge amounts of money into a phantom scientific research project.

All in all, it is too difficult for humans to really fly out of the solar system.

After speaking, he said with a sigh: "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's continue the class. 99

Just a few minutes later.

A student named Warren suddenly exclaimed.

A good physics class was interrupted by students continuously.

This makes Professor George Smoot somewhat dissatisfied.

He glared at the student who had just exclaimed, and said in a heavy tone, "You are a student at MIT, what do you look like at first glance?"

Warren got up quickly and said: "Professor, I'm very sorry, I just saw a big news on social media, saying that Xia Guo developed a real warp engine, and I lost my temper for a while.

The voice just fell.

All the students in the classroom were in an uproar.

Originally, they may not feel deeply when they hear the warp engine.

But Professor George just finished explaining to them what a warp engine is, and they were naturally surprised.

"God, Xia Guo actually developed a warp engine!"

"My God, why does that mysterious eastern country create scientific research miracles every time?

"Doesn't this mean that we humans can really go into space and leave the solar system?

"amazing! unbelievable!

At this time, Professor George asked: "Are you sure that Xia Guo has developed a warp engine?"

Warren nodded and said: "That's right! Xia Guo Nebula TV is holding a press conference for the warp engine! Professor, do you need me to cut the live broadcast?

George urged: "Hurry up and switch the screen!""

Warren understood, and quickly used the Nebula holographic bracelet to project the picture in the classroom.

on the screen.

A professor is explaining the principle of the warp engine.

He said slowly: "Our Nebula Engine Center produces ultra-high temperature plasma gas through the reaction of matter and antimatter.

These plasma gases are then transported to the warp nacelle and passed through the warp coil.

These coils are made of verte-rium-cortende composite material.

When the plasma passes through them, a warp field is created.

and gradually change the shape of the air around them.

0.. ask for flowers.....

The warp nacelle generates a series of nested energy fields.

That is, a warp bubble that can cover the entire spacecraft, that is, an 'artificial bubble.

By manipulating this warp bubble, and then depending on the torque intensity, the energy fields squeeze each other into space, making the spacecraft travel faster, reaching the speed of light! 35

before the screen.

The host Ai Ping interviewed: "Academician Qin, what technologies did the Nebula Engine Center use in the process of developing the warp engine?"

Academician Qin replied: "The research and development of the warp engine requires teamwork.

During this research and development process, the Nebula Engine Center and the Nebula Antigravity Center, the Nebula Materials Center, the Nebula Nuclear Energy Center, the Nebula Quantum Center, and the Nebula Artificial Intelligence Center cooperated in many ways.

With the concerted efforts and joint efforts of many institutions.

We have successively conquered new ion thrusters, magnetic ion thrusters, pulse thrusters, etc., to overcome all theoretical difficulties.

.0...

In addition, the artificial intelligence Huanhuan of Nebula University and the Nebula Quantum Computer have made great contributions to the final development of the warp drive!"

Ai Ping nodded with pride.

She asked: "Academician Qin, the warp engine can make the spacecraft break through the speed of light and achieve super-light speed.

I don't know what level the warp engine developed by the Nebula Engine Center has reached?

Academician Qin replied: "The scientific community divides the warp engine into several levels, the higher the level, the faster the speed.

A level 1 warp engine can reach 1x the speed of light.

Level 2 warp engine, can reach 10 times the speed of light.

The 9.9-level warp engine can reach 3053 times the speed of light.

At present, the warp speed engine we have developed has only reached level 1, which is 1 times the speed of light.

This is certainly a landmark scientific breakthrough.

But for the vast universe, this speed is still too slow!

However, the research and development of the warp engine by the Nebula Engine Center has just begun.

In the future, we will also develop a higher-level warp engine!

Ai Ping nodded and said impassively to the camera: "Scientific research is a never-ending road, and we need to keep going step by step.

Sooner or later, the distance of the universe will be constantly broken by us.

Humans will eventually become the masters of the stars and roam the universe!"

Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Inside the classroom, Warren retracted the holographic projection.

Because the holographic projection has a real-time translation function, all the students present were shocked.

The Nebula University Engine Center has really developed a warp engine!

How incredible is this?

The students present were all top students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

They are proud.

They are confident.

They are fearless.

Behind them is the world's top university MIT!

But all this pride.

In front of Nebula University, it seems as thin as a piece of paper... on.
