"First, the first project we need to tackle is communication technology."
Lu Yongchang stood in front of the command center, looking solemnly at all the academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences present.
"Currently, the Space Starship Factory has successfully manufactured its first planetary-level starship."
"Although it is only a small engineering vessel and does not carry many advanced weapon modules, its overall performance has far exceeded the scope of the original satellite-class starship."
"The planetary starship equipped with a new generation of warp drive has increased its warp speed to 30c, which is still far from the theoretical limit of 50c."
"However, these limits are just a string of useless numbers for us today."
"Due to limitations in communication technology, the starship's speed can only be maintained at 10c or less."
"Communication technology has become the biggest weakness hindering the fleet's strength!"
Lü Yongchang's voice echoed in the command center.
The expressions on the faces of the academicians gradually became serious.
Everyone is aware of this problem, but...
"Yongchang, what other communication methods do you think, besides quantum communication, can exceed the speed of light?"
Fang Xu sighed softly and said with some confusion, "Academician Mo Zeyang has been working hard to improve quantum communication technology."
"He also reported to me on the progress of the work, but... we have not found a way to circumvent the [event form] theory."
Lü Yongchang chuckled and waved his hand gently.
"Quantum communication is definitely not going to work."
"We need to forge a new path."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and manipulated the azure blue holographic projection beside him.
A line of bright white text slowly appeared in the projection.
Tachyon communication technology
After a brief silence, low, dense murmurs of discussion came from all directions of the command center.
...
Two days ago.
Lu Yongchang sat in his office, one of the few areas inside the Earth that was covered by artificial gravity.
He stretched out his body, lay back in his office chair, and let out a long sigh of relief.
A brand new star system means a lot of complicated chores.
Fortunately, with everyone's efforts, these trivial matters were resolved one by one, and the human fleet gradually got back on track for development.
With a slight smile on his lips, he slowly closed his eyes.
With a slight movement of consciousness, it sank into the technology tree system in its mind.
The mottled background of the technology tree, as always, exuded a mysterious aura, constantly attracting his attention.
With his purpose clear, Lü Yongchang paid little attention to the strange background and instead focused his attention on the glowing white technology tree floating in the air.
Since entering the era of technological explosion, the technological tree of the fifth-level civilization has been illuminated in many ways.
His gaze skipped over the bright cursors and went straight to the dim, indistinct font.
Tachyon communication technology
Kuaizi?
Countless pieces of information about kuaizi immediately flooded Lü Yongchang's mind.
Does this thing really exist?
At the same time, a deep sense of confusion arose in his mind.
But he quickly put these doubts out of his mind—the technologies marked on the technology tree have not been wrong so far.
He began to focus his attention.
Inspiration also sprang up in his mind like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
...
"Kuaizi?"
Mo Zeyang, who was not far away, frowned slightly and muttered to himself, "Does this thing... really exist?"
Since the beginning of Earth's history, the tachyon, a subatomic particle, has been a subject of speculation among human scientists.
(Subatomic particles, also known as subatomic particles, refer to particles with a structure smaller than an atom, such as electrons, protons, neutrons, etc.)
Theoretical predictions suggest that tachyons travel at infinite speeds, far exceeding the speed of light.
Therefore, in a sense, it can achieve true long-distance communication!
No matter where you are in the universe, tachyons can arrive in an instant!
but……
"To date, tachyons still only exist in the mathematical framework; we have never observed any evidence of their existence," Fang Xu said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Lü Yongchang nodded slightly.
"The observation of tachyons, or rather, the observation of faster-than-light objects, far exceeds our previous technological level."
Lu Yongchang's words touched a nerve with many academicians.
"I understand! I understand!"
"You mean..." Tao Yuda suddenly realized, a hint of excitement in his eyes, "To observe tachyons, we have to sit on a warp drive?!"
Lu Yongchang nodded with a smile in his eyes.
"right."
"If we compare the universe to an ocean..."
"The speed of light is an insurmountable watershed, which is the sea surface."
"Below the speed of light, there is seawater, and also our visible universe. Protons, neutrons, electrons... these sub-light-speed particles can never exceed the speed of light under normal circumstances."
"And those superluminal particles, such as tachyons, can never travel at a speed lower than the speed of light."
"Their location is in the sky above the sea."
"This has created a phenomenon."
"Living in a sub-light-speed universe, we will never be able to glimpse the phenomena occurring in a faster-than-light universe!"
"Unless we break free from the sea's embrace and soar into the sky!"
"The warp drive has given us a breakthrough!"
"I suspect that once our travel speed exceeds the speed of light, some of the same experiments might yield some additional discoveries!"
P.S.: Thanks to the amazing verification from the expert Shuimozi.
