Through the quantum long-distance communication device, the command instantly traversed a distance of one light-year and reached the Gravitation Satellite.
With Zero's remote control, the antimatter engine's power began to increase first.
The enormous energy generated by the annihilation of matter and antimatter flowed through a complex and orderly system of pipes into a massive device located in the central region of the Gravitational.
This is the core component of the Gravitational spacecraft—the gravitational field generator.
The device is a silver-white hemispherical structure.
Its surface is very smooth, without any extra joints or protrusions.
The entire gravity field generator was firmly embedded in the starship deck without any gaps, as if it were cast in one piece.
Nearby, all the equipment was also firmly fixed to the starship deck.
All of this is to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring under the influence of enormous gravity.
The inside of the gravitational field generator is an extremely complex structure of circuits and pipes.
These lines and pipes enclose a huge, high-purity vacuum cavity.
The cavity is filled with a large number of captured gravitons.
This is also the core component of the gravitational field generator.
Similar to electrons.
The movement of electrons creates an electric current, which in turn creates a magnetic field.
The regular movement of gravitons will form a regular gravitational field.
Due to the special nature of gravitons, controlling their regular motion is not an easy task.
Therefore, given the limited technological capabilities, the gravitational field generated by this experimental machine was not particularly strong.
According to estimates by Lü Yongchang and a group of academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the gravitational field it can create is not much different in strength from the gravitational field generated by the Earth.
A gravitational field of this strength produces an extremely weak spacetime curvature.
Therefore, the observation equipment inside the surrounding starships has reached the highest level of precision in human civilization.
...
As energy from the antimatter engine continued to flow in, the gravitational field generator also began to operate.
Through a series of complex processes, a large number of gravitons began to move in the predetermined direction.
A regular and weak gravitational field then began to appear, and gravitational waves were born, which then spread their gravitational pull to the surroundings at the speed of light.
At this moment, if viewed from the perspective of gravity, it appears as if a massive celestial body has suddenly appeared in the vast universe.
Over time, the mass of celestial bodies is increasing dramatically.
From asteroid level to satellite level, and then from satellite level to planetary level...
Almost simultaneously, the surrounding probe starships, under Zero's control, adjusted their attitudes and activated their antimatter engines—because of the close proximity, they needed the power generated by the antimatter engines to maintain their posture.
Otherwise, under the influence of gravity, these probe-type starships would crash head-on into the Gravitational!
Inside the distant Earth.
On the holographic projection directly in front of the laboratory, the gravitational field strength value from the probe starship is increasing rapidly!
0.98 N/kg!
1.96 N/kg!
...
9.7 N/kg!
9.75 N/kg!
Ultimately, the gravitational field strength remained at 9.8 N/kg!
Upon seeing this familiar number, Lü Yongchang's face immediately lit up with ecstasy!
9.8 N/kg, that's the strength of Earth's gravitational field!
In other words, true artificial gravity technology has been realized at this moment!
With just a few minor improvements and adjustments, humans living on starships will no longer need to rely on electromagnetic boots, electromagnetic adsorption devices, and gravity chambers!
"It's a success... We finally succeeded..."
Lu Yongchang stared at the almost perfectly straight line in the holographic projection and murmured to himself.
The next second.
Enthusiastic applause and cheers came from all directions, completely drowning out Lü Yongchang's voice.
...
The experiment is not yet over.
The successful activation of the gravitational field generator is only the first step in this experiment.
Therefore, after a brief period of cheers and celebrations, the laboratory quickly returned to its original calm.
"Initiate targeted adjustments to the range and intensity of the gravitational field!"
Lu Yongchang straightened his expression and said in a deep voice.
If successfully generating a gravitational field is the foundation of this experiment, then directional adjustment of the gravitational field is the core of this experiment.
Only when it is confirmed that the gravitational field generating device can adjust the gravitational field in a directional and quantitative manner, thereby producing different degrees of spacetime curvature, can this experiment be considered a complete success.
All of this is just the first step in the development of the warp drive.
"First adjustment of the gravitational field range, now commencing, with the preset adjustment direction as follows:..."
"Detection area successfully changed by the probe-type starship!"
"Adjust the countdown: 3, 2, 1!"
"Adjustment begins!"
The researchers' reports echoed one after another in the laboratory.
The moment the command was given, Zero began to control the precision instruments inside the gravitational field generator via a long-range communication device.
The gravitational field that was originally spreading evenly in all directions slowly dissipated, and in its place, a gravitational field that spread forward in a fan-shaped region was formed.
The reduced area significantly increased the strength of the gravitational field.
According to data transmitted back by the probe starship, the gravitational field strength even reached 14.7 N/Kg, which is about 1.5g.
"Successfully observed change in spacetime curvature!"
"The first experiment to adjust the gravitational field has been a success!"
"Experimental data storage complete, one set, begin analyzing relevant data."
"Second gravitational field adjustment experiment, prepare!"
"..."
