Fabricating The World: Creating A Three-Body Invasion At The Beginning

The sudden speeches of the two people on the screen immediately shocked everyone.

Curvature drive technology is not a very new concept.

Before the future of video playback appeared, many scientists had already proposed similar assumptions.

This theory holds that the space of this universe is not flat, but has curvature everywhere in the space.

If you imagine the universe as a whole as a large membrane, the surface of this membrane is curved.

The entire membrane may even be a closed soap bubble. Although parts of the membrane appear to be flat, spatial curvature is still everywhere.

So some people made more bold assumptions based on this theory, one of which is space folding.

They imagined increasing the curvature of a large area of ​​space infinitely, and then folding it in half like a piece of paper, thereby pasting together two distant points on the "paper" that are tens of millions of light years apart.

Strictly speaking, this plan should not be called space navigation, but should be called "cosmic towing".

Because it is not actually sailing to the destination, but dragging the destination over by changing the curvature of space.

But for humans in this era, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to achieve such a thing.

Folding space and swallowing the universe may only be possible by God.

If we add the limitations of basic theory, maybe God can’t do it either!

In order to make the hypothesis closer to reality and more feasible, someone has proposed another way - to use the curvature of space to navigate.

This is a more modest and partial vision.

This hypothesis holds that for a spacecraft in space, if a part of the space behind it can be flattened in some way to reduce its curvature, then the spacecraft will be pulled by the space in front of it with a greater curvature. This is curvature drive.

Curvature drive cannot reach the destination instantly like space folding, but it is possible for the spacecraft to sail at a speed infinitely close to the speed of light.

But until this video played today, warp drive was just a fantasy.

Like hundreds of other hypothetical plans for lightspeed travel, no one knows whether it is feasible, theoretically or technically.

In fact, the most critical core of technological breakthroughs lies in the breakthrough from zero to one.

Because there is no technology tree in the real world, and the research on many technologies does not mean that your investment will definitely yield results!

It is often more likely that after making a huge investment in a field with an unknown future, you will end up with nothing.

On the contrary, when conducting research in a field with certain results, the relationship between investment and return can often be determined.

The so-called "the biggest secret of nuclear weapons is that they can be manufactured" is exactly the reason.

When you know the final destination of a technology, all you have to do next is to find the way to that destination!

But now, the fairy tale from Yun Tianming on the screen [the conjecture put forward by two scientists, Cheng Xin and Ai AA, has undoubtedly pointed the way for people in the real world.

"Holy crap, it's actually curvature drive technology!!"

“Witness history!”

"Brothers, please stop brushing up on the bull demon's witness history. Give me all the ptsd!"

Compared with the crazy netizens on the Internet, the Trisolarans who monitor the video information and all the countries on the earth pay more attention to the information revealed in the video.

They all hoped that Cheng Xin's guess was true and not her sudden imagination.

After all, curvature drive is the technology most likely to achieve light speed navigation in reality.

And traveling at the speed of light, even if you only read the literal meaning, everyone knows what it means!

"Control" technology will undoubtedly control the entire universe!

The audience in front of the screen was full of expectations, and Cheng Xin in the picture was also excited.

But in order to guard against possible sophon surveillance in the solar system, she did not show too much excitement.

Ai AA said to Cheng Xin with joy, "Before the Era of Intimidation, it was fashionable to wear clothes with images. People at that time were all bright and colorful, but now only children are like that, and classical clothes have become mainstream again."

But Cheng Xin could see that Ai AA's eyes were saying something else.

…………Please give me flowers…0

Her eyes dimmed, as if to say: This interpretation seems reliable, but it is still impossible to finalize it, and it probably won't be recognized.

Cheng Xin replied: "What surprises me most now is that precious metals and gems no longer exist.

"Gold has become a common metal, and these two wine glasses are made of diamonds..."

"Did you know? At that time, having such a small diamond, so small, was an eternal luxury for most girls."

Her eyes said: No, aa, this time is different, this time I can be sure!

"At least aluminum was cheap for you back then. Aluminum was also a precious metal before the advent of electrolytic aluminum. I heard that there were kings whose crowns were made of aluminum.

....0

Ai AA continued to ask with his eyes: How to be sure?

Cheng Xin knew that it would be impossible to express it with her eyes this time.

At this moment, she suddenly recalled a past incident. At that time, IDC once wanted to configure a sophon-shielded room for her residence.

It would require installing a lot of equipment that was very bulky and noisy. She didn't agree because it was too troublesome, and now she really regrets it.

"Xuelang paper." Cheng Xin said softly.

Ai AA's dimmed eyes were instantly ignited again, and the light of excitement was brighter than last time.

"Is it true that this paper cannot be flattened with anything else?"

"If it's uneven, it can only be flattened with obsidian slabs from Helsingen Mosken..."

Ai AA recalled what was described in the fairy tale - the ethereal painter stretched out the flattened section of the snow wave paper from the paper roll, laid it flat on the floor and did not roll it back.

A roll of paper with curvature was pulled out and ironed to reduce the curvature.

This image must be an obvious hint of the shape of the space before and after the spacecraft when driven by curvature, and it is almost impossible to be anything else.

"Let's go." Cheng Xin stood up and said.

Almost at the same time, the two people said the same words.

"let's go."

Ai AA also stood up. They must go to the nearest Tomoko shielding room immediately.

Only there can they further confirm the reliability of this guess!
