Voyage of the Stars

No matter what technology or transformation it is, as long as science and technology are still progressing, it will not be the ultimate version.

Just like the overclocking mode, according to scientists from the Institute of Life Sciences, that is only the first version. If there is another breakthrough in the future, there will definitely be a second version and a third version.

As Yi Kai said, the future research direction of overclocking mode is to solve the appearance problem. Maybe the second version will be released, which should be able to solve the problem of overclocking mode becoming a scaly man.

The reason why the first version of the overclocking mode appears to be covered in scales is entirely due to the genetic sequence of the Kuntai people. As long as the relationship between the appearance expression sequence and the gene fragment that enhances the overall quality is found and distinguished, Or cut and replace it with other sequences, it is entirely possible to strengthen the original shape.

The same is true for technologies such as bioalloy skeletons and internal organ enhancement. As long as humans are still running on the road of science, they will all be updated.

And all individual enhancements can only be long-term and develop if they keep up with the pace of civilization and technology.

The new humans who have strengthened their bodies understand this truth, so even if they become stronger, they cannot do without human civilization, because once they leave, not to mention the problem of body maintenance, after a hundred years, their current very powerful bodies may not be able to survive. It became vulnerable.

Of course, the so-called body enhancement is not studied for individual combat. Its starting point is for the high-G acceleration and deceleration of battleships.

After all, no matter how human beings are transformed, they cannot move around on a planet with no atmosphere and a temperature difference of more than 200 degrees Celsius using only the physical body.

This kind of planet has the most environments in the universe.

So for individual soldier operations, just wear tactical armor. No matter how powerful the human body modification is, it is still bioenergy after all. After all, there is no tactical armor that is directly powered by a nuclear fusion reactor.

Having said that, overclocking mode requires three minutes to enter the state, which is not suitable for fighting in emergencies.

Another point is that in addition to acquired modifications such as the bio-alloy skeleton, other modifications based on genetic tailoring are hereditary, such as overclocking mode. However, the expression of overclocking mode is based on recessive expression. After a newborn reaches a certain age, it needs to be registered and then go to the relevant department for gene activation to have it.

Based on this, the new government is not worried about the overclocking mode causing any trouble in society. After all, the technology is in the hands of the new government.

Back to the subject, it was said that after the new human fleet left Aldebaran, it sailed all the way in the sea of ​​stars.

The hibernation and rotation system allows the new humans to cross one star system after another in their lifetime, century after century. The new humans go from one star system to another, stopping to replenish their supplies, and then continue moving forward.

After the speed increased from 15% of the speed of light to 30% of the speed of light, the pace of the New Humanity fleet also became much faster. Including midway supplies, the New Humanity only took 350 years to cross a distance of one hundred light years.

However, one hundred light years is not enough. It still belongs to the dangerous star field mentioned by the broadcast, and humans must continue their voyage.

In the 355th year after leaving Aldebaran, the new humans set out on the star journey again after completing supplies in a red dwarf star system.

After slowly leaving the red dwarf star, the new human fleet quickly reached 30% of the speed of light, and then sailed at a constant speed.

If you follow the normal procedure, the next step is to enter the rotational hibernation as usual, but this time, the new humans discovered some unusual phenomena.

First, the gravitational wave detection array located on the fleet detected a trace of space-time ripples. At first, scientists thought it was a measurement error caused by distance deviation between the warships carrying the gravitational wave detectors. However, after verification several times, they found that this was not the case.

In other words, the gravitational wave detection array in the fleet did detect gravitational waves. This discovery immediately made astronomers excitedly get into work. They must analyze the wavelength and source of gravitational waves as quickly as possible. So as to determine what exactly caused the gravitational waves.

Well, that's right, it's a gravitational wave detection array, or it's on a battleship.

There is no doubt that the new humans have the ability to detect gravitational waves. This technology has existed as early as the age of the earth. As for the gravitational wave detector, it sounds advanced, and it is indeed advanced, but it is not like an instrument installed on a spacecraft or battleship as people imagine.

And the reason why it is called a detection array is that it is undoubtedly not the small gravitational wave detection antenna mounted on a spacecraft in the novel. That kind of technology may exist, but with the current technological level of New Humanity, it is simply impossible to realize it.

Therefore, the new humanity’s current gravitational wave detection actually uses methods and technologies from the Earth era.

As for the gravitational wave detection technology in the Earth era, there are mainly three types.

One is the laser interference gravitational wave observatory. The method used in this kind of gravitational wave detection is laser interference. To put it simply, this method emits a laser beam from the laser source and splits it into two beams after passing through the prism. The two split laser beams enter two mutually perpendicular channel 'arms' respectively.

Generally, the length of the two 'arms' is different, about 4 kilometers. One of the lasers is in the 'arm', and the laser will be reflected by the mirror inside about fifty times. After that, the distance becomes 200 kilometers. Due to the other If the length of one arm is different, the distance of the two laser beams will be different.

Finally, the two beams of light converge at one point for interference.

If gravitational waves arrive, then the two laser beams with different distances will have different optical path differences. In this way, the interference pattern caused by the two beams of light will shift.

Scientists will determine whether a gravitational wave signal has been detected based on the interference pattern.

However, such gravitational wave detectors are generally built on planets, and the earth in the 21st century has many such gravitational wave detectors.

The second type is actually laser interference. It was just that the equipment originally built on the ground was moved to the earth's orbit. Therefore, this gravitational wave detector was also called a laser interference space antenna by people at the time.

The method of this kind of gravitational wave detector is to place three detectors on the space plane of the earth facing away from the sun. These three detectors form an equilateral triangle with a side length of five million kilometers.

The same is also the principle of laser interference.

If gravitational waves are transmitted to the detector, the space-time distance of this equilateral triangle will change, causing the laser interferometer pattern to change.

The longer the arm, the more sensitive it is to gravitational wave signals, that is, it can detect lower frequency gravitational wave sources.
