Inside the office.
Lu Yongchang looked at the holographic projection above his desk, which showed the basic configuration of the main warships of human civilization.
Warp drive.
It adopts the latest technology, and its maximum sailing speed can even exceed 900c, approaching 1000c.
Without a doubt, with the breakthrough in the Grand Unified Field Theory, humanity's warp drive technology has essentially reached the pinnacle of a Type VI civilization.
Weapon systems.
Also benefiting from the breakthrough in the Grand Unified Field Theory, the power of space weapons has increased significantly compared to the beginning.
Speaking of the [Space Rift] alone, its longest duration has exceeded one hour, and its travel speed has reached the limit of 1000c.
Energy system.
The more powerful antimatter reactor has significantly improved energy efficiency, and at least for now, power consumption is not a concern.
Therefore... Lü Yongchang could only turn his attention to the starship's defense system.
At this point, Lü Yongchang considered the Star Gold-Carbon Dithylene Composite Armor to be an extremely outdated technology.
The refinement of the Grand Unified Theory aroused some "ambition" in Lü Yongchang's heart.
I still remember the strong interaction force armor on the surface of the Imperial Fortress, which was constructed from neutrons.
Based on current theoretical foundations, human civilization should have such technology!
Thinking of this, Lü Yongchang slightly raised his fingers and tapped them lightly twice on the table.
"Zero, I remember there should be a laboratory researching the technology to manufacture materials with strong interaction forces, right?"
There was almost no waiting; Zero responded.
"Five years ago, with the improvement of the Grand Unified Field Theory, Academician Ding Chengwang led the Materials Research Center to start research projects in this area."
Upon hearing this, Lü Yongchang slowly rose from his seat and walked towards the office door.
"Take me over there."
With a casual remark, the office door closed.
More than ten minutes later.
An anti-gravity vehicle took off from the tarmac, drew a perfect arc in the air, and flew away into the distance.
...
Humanities Academy of Sciences, Materials Research Center.
Without anyone noticing, the door quietly opened.
"The 149th experiment on the fabrication of a strong interaction material is now beginning."
A slightly hoarse voice reached Lü Yongchang's ears from a distance.
Lu Yongchang was momentarily stunned.
The 149th time?
Have you tried this many times already?
"Chief Researcher Lü?!" A young researcher's eyes widened slightly, and he subconsciously exclaimed in a low voice, "What brings you here?"
Lü Yongchang glanced at the insignia on the researchers' chests.
Level III Researcher.
It seems to be a new generation member who has recently joined the Academy of Sciences.
He smiled and nodded to the researcher, then gestured for silence before pointing to the holographic screen in front of the researcher.
The Level III researcher's face flushed slightly, and he nodded excitedly, quickly turning his attention back to the holographic projection in front of him.
It was obvious that he became much more excited after meeting his idol.
Lu Yongchang tiptoed toward the research center's main control panel.
The holographic projection in front of the main control console is showing real-time images of the experimental area.
Unlike ordinary grand unified field generators, grand unified field generators that manipulate strong interaction forces occupy a larger area and have a more complex internal structure.
Moreover, there is a complete set of equipment for materializing light within the experimental area.
To prevent interference from other particles, the experiment employed the latest light materialization technology—the entire process of constructing the strong interaction material was placed on a large, horizontal "light plate".
The experiment began.
A slender nozzle protrudes from above the flat experimental platform; that is the neutron ejection port.
The entire process of building strong interaction materials is similar to that of 3D printing.
Neutron nozzles eject neutrons into a material-constructed platform, which is made of materialized light rays and is simultaneously enveloped by a powerful unified force field.
Once neutrons fall into it, they will arrange themselves in a regular pattern under the influence of the grand unified field.
At this point, there are still gaps between the neutrons.
Once the entire "blank plate," which serves as the material building platform, is covered with neutrons, the Grand Unified Field changes mode, thereby manipulating the strong interaction force between neutrons and pressing them tightly together.
Numerous blank areas reappeared on the "blank panel," and the neutron nozzles once again emitted neutrons into these blank areas...
Theoretically speaking.
Repeating the above operations will eventually yield a piece of strongly interacting material of a specified size, constructed from dense neutrons.
Of course, theory is one thing, but in practice it's quite another.
Otherwise, the materials research center wouldn't have conducted 149 experiments, would it?
...
The atmosphere in the laboratory was extremely tense. Apart from the Level III researcher who had just arrived, no one noticed Lü Yongchang's arrival.
Lu Yongchang remained silent, simply observing the entire experimental process and making simple inferences about the experimental results based on the data from other sources.
Time passed second by second, and in the holographic projection, a small piece of strongly interacting material composed of dense neutrons had appeared on the "light panel".
It was a square with a side length of one micrometer.
It is very small, but it is the strongest material in human history, bar none.
"Attention all units!"
Academician Ding Chengwang's hoarse voice suddenly rang out, intensifying the tense atmosphere in the laboratory: "The material size has reached the critical point. Continue to increase the Grand Unified Field Strength. The increase in this experiment is 3.76 percentage points!"
The academicians began to focus on making adjustments.
"Intensity adjustment complete, continue the experiment!" Academician Ding Chengwang checked the situation and, after confirming everything was correct, issued the order again.
The neutron nozzles continued to spray neutrons.
Suddenly, Lü Yongchang's expression changed slightly as he stared at the data on the right side of the screen. He sighed heavily and then shook his head: "It failed."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a piercing alarm blared.
Bang!
A violent explosion occurred in the experimental area, but fortunately, due to the constraint of the force field, the power of the explosion was not too great.
The neutrons that make up the dense material escape from the light plate in an instant and decay at an extremely fast speed, transforming into hydrogen and helium.
The experiment failed.
