The experiment officially began the moment the order was given.
Under Zero's control, the antimatter engine inside Warp One began operating at full power.
"Gravitational field generator is ready!"
"Anti-gravity field generator is ready!"
"Curvature bubble formation has begun!"
"..."
The announcements echoed throughout the laboratory.
Meanwhile, that peaceful space-time gradually became grotesque.
But at the heart of the "storm," all was calm.
A small, constantly fluctuating gravitational field smoothed out all the wrinkles in spacetime, creating a small, peaceful paradise.
And Warp Speed One is located right in the center of this paradise!
"Prepare to enter warp drive!"
"Countdown: 5, 4, 3..."
As he watched the rapidly flashing data on the holographic projection, Lü Yongchang clenched his fist slightly and subconsciously held his breath.
As the countdown ended, [Curvature One] disappeared from everyone's sight.
The sounds in the laboratory grew increasingly "noisy," and almost every academician began to get busy.
"Quickly!" Lü Yongchang shouted urgently, "Zero, confirm the operational status of the quantum communication device!"
The moment 【Curvature One】enters curvature state, it means that ordinary electromagnetic wave communication has failed—it has left electromagnetic waves behind!
Based on what happened near the black hole, quantum communication devices at a distance will also exhibit quantum decoherence under the influence of a strong gravitational field.
If the long-range communication device also fails completely...
That means that every time the human fleet enters warp drive, the quantum long-distance communication module will be damaged in all directions!
Upon realizing this, Lü Yongchang's face immediately turned grim.
"Current entangled state quantum loss rate: 1.72%."
"Communication connection status is normal."
Information loss rate: 1.72%.
"【Warp Drive One】has successfully entered warp drive mode. Current speed: 1.1c!"
The moment the electronic synthesized sound started, Lü Yongchang breathed a sigh of relief!
As the event form theory states, under the influence of gravity, quantum entangled pairs will experience probabilistic loss.
During the detection of miniature black holes, Lü Yongchang discovered that the probability of loss of quantum entanglement pairs is directly related to the strength of gravity.
When the gravitational strength exceeds a threshold, that is, when the spacetime curvature reaches a threshold, entangled quantum states have a probability of decoherence.
The stronger the gravity, the higher the spacetime curvature, and the greater the probability of decoherence!
Therefore, after rigorous calculations, Lü Yongchang came up with a conjecture.
When the warp drive speed is below 10c, the quantum communication device does not completely lose its function!
This means that, currently, human civilization can still communicate using quantum long-distance communication!
However, the probabilistic loss of entangled quantum states means that the transmitted information will also be probabilistically lost.
But this can be remedied!
By regularly shuffling the order of information and transmitting it at high frequency, humans may be able to avoid information loss during transmission.
Simply put, it involves arranging and combining a sentence using a specific algorithm, and then sending out all these combinations.
During this process, information may be missing probabilistically.
After receiving the information, the receiving end uses an algorithm to reconstruct the information.
By comparing each missing piece of information, the complete information can be obtained.
The second objective of the Curvature-1 experiment was to verify the feasibility of this plan!
"Report! Warp fluctuations have been detected on the first probe-type starship!" an academician excitedly reported. "The spacetime curvature is normal!"
"Good! Good! Good!" Lu Yongchang said repeatedly, his face beaming.
"Zero, initiate the curvature communication 1.0 program and re-verify the integrity of the transmitted information."
After a short wait.
"Curvature Communication 1.0 has been successfully launched."
"Communication connection status is normal."
Current information loss rate: 0%.
Before Lü Yongchang could even speak, thunderous applause erupted from behind him!
...
11. The light is exceptional.
(A fraction of a light beam, the distance light travels in one minute.)
The last probe starship remained silently at the end of the "runway".
It needs to collect relevant data when [Curvature One] exits curvature state.
Time flies.
Ten minutes are almost up.
"Professor, the thirtieth probe-type starship has detected fluctuations in spacetime curvature!"
He Bilin's excited voice came from the side: "The experiment was a success!"
"We have successfully mastered warp drive technology!"
"Wait a little longer!" Lü Yongchang took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart. "It's not too late to celebrate after [Warp One] has safely exited warp state."
In the distance, announcements rang out once again.
"The gravitational field is beginning to weaken."
"Curvature bubble is working normally!"
"Preparing to exit curvature mode!"
"Countdown: 10, 9, 8..."
The bright red countdown ticked on the giant holographic projection, making the hearts of all the academicians present pound.
The moment the countdown reached zero, a broadcast simultaneously announced: "[Curvature One] has successfully exited curvature state."
"The ship is in normal condition."
Before the academicians could even smile, a piercing alarm filled the entire laboratory!
The azure holographic projection instantly turned blood red.
"warn!"
"Signal lost from the thirtieth probe starship!!!"
"Reconnecting..."
"Connection reconstruction failed!"
"Correction: The 30th probe-type starship has not yet been observed."
"Repeated! No detection of the 30th probe-type starship!"
"Suspected attack by an unknown entity!"
"The fleet has been placed on Level One Alert!!"
As the blood-red warning lights flashed incessantly, an extremely urgent electronic synthesized voice echoed within the [Earth].
Meanwhile, the Golden Crow, which had been sailing around the Earth and remained silent, began to move under Zero's control.
Countless cannons began to slowly turn their direction, pointing towards the test site 0.1 light-years away!
