As the Third Earth Defense Alliance Congress came to an end, two Seagull-class starships set off from Celestial City.
The entire project would take five years. During these five years, a steady stream of materials would be transported from Celestial City to Europa. In order to save time and cost, Celestial Trade decided to advance the galaxy highway from Mars to Europa before construction began.
At the same time, with the disclosure of relevant information about "Golovin", the word extraterrestrial civilization once again became a hot topic on the Internet.
Apart from the name, people knew nothing about "Golovin". There were rumors that they looked like humans, with one head and two legs. There were also rumors that they were actually huge, like the giant octopus in the "Europa Report". They lived under the ice sheet of Europa all year round, deciphered the human language through the radio waves scattered from Earth, and used holographic images to pretend to be human to deceive countries …
Many of the ideas were quite imaginative, so much so that Jiang Chen couldn't help but admire the creativity of these netizens. However, just like the decision he made before, Celestial Trade did not clarify these rumors, but allowed them to ferment in disorder.
Even if these unwarranted fantasies had gradually changed from pure curiosity to suspicion and even hostility toward extraterrestrial civilization.
Only when people were afraid of the outside world would they think about whether they should stick together.
…
It had been about a week since the Seagull-class transport ship set off to Europa to repair the road. As promised, Gorovan sent some technology to the Earth civilization. This technology was mainly research data on gravitons and gravitational fields.
For Celestial Trade, these things were not too precious. They were just a supplement to the inadequacies of the Gaia civilization's research in these two directions. However, for other member states of the Earth Defense Alliance, the value of this information was extraordinary.
Take Hua as an example. Almost as soon as the information was obtained, the Chinese Academy of Sciences took the lead and sent these documents to research units at all levels for reference.
However, the final result was not ideal.
There was no physical object as a reference, just pale technical information. Because the technological span was too large, even in the hands of the most authoritative scholars in the field, it was as obscure as a book from heaven.
It was the same in Russia. Gorowen's paper on gravitons was like science fiction in the eyes of the Russian Academy of Sciences' professors. Because they couldn't even observe the graviton normally, let alone record the graviton's parameters. After all, at the forefront of physics, gravitons existed as a hypothetical particle that transmitted gravity.
It was like asking an eighteenth-century watt to understand the alternating current at the end of the nineteenth century. It was impossible to understand something that could not be seen. This was the problem faced by scientists from all over the world.
A lot of data could be summarized in just a few strokes on a piece of paper, but on the side of human scientists, they needed to carry out experiments step by step to verify the data.
Conservatively speaking, it would take several years to digest all this information. After all, what Gorowen provided was not a Flower of Memories that could directly instill knowledge. It was just a string of electronic files that were hundreds of terabytes long.
In the next five years, Gorowen would continue to provide Earth with the technology it needed to help Earth's civilization develop at a faster speed.
Interestingly, it was also after seeing this information that the leaders of various countries began to wake up from the dream of "cruising in the Kuiper Belt" and truly realized the gap between themselves and extraterrestrial civilization.
In the laboratory on the first floor of the Future Building, Dr. Amos showed Jiang Chen his latest research results.
Jiang Chen picked up the belt-like thing from the table, fiddled with the button in the middle, looked at the manometer-like dial, and asked.
"What is this?"
"Gravity Belt."
"Gravity … belt?" Jiang Chen looked at the belt in his hand in surprise, then turned to Amos with a questioning look. "How do I use this?"
"Just wear it like a belt," Amos said with a smile.
Under Amos's prompt, Jiang Chen tied the belt around his waist and then opened the button hidden on the back of the belt. As the switch was opened, he noticed that the pointer on the manometer-like dial began to tremble slightly and finally stopped in the middle.
Upon closer inspection, the number "1" was written at the end of the pointer.
"The center of the pointer represents 1G gravity, which is the gravity of the Earth. Correspondingly, pointing to 2 represents 2G, which means twice the gravity. In this way, this gravity belt can reach a minimum of 0.1G and a maximum of 3G gravity … "
Just as Dr. Amos explained the function of this gravity belt to Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen had already begun to follow the steps on the manual. He rotated the outline of the periphery of the dial and aimed the silver arrow at the position of 0.5G.
Accompanied by a slight buzzing sound, the pointer on the dial began to shake violently. Finally, the pointer stopped at the position of the silver arrow, and Jiang Chen's eyes widened with the feeling from his feet.
The point of force did not come from the waist, but from every part of the body.
It was as if every cell had become lighter.
"How did you do this?" Jiang Chen adjusted the gravity index back to the standard value and was amazed.
"By interfering with the graviton, it affects gravity. It's troublesome to explain and involves a lot of technical terms. " Dr. Amos shrugged and said with a smile, "In short, you only need to know that with this belt, our astronauts can walk normally on the starship."
Not only on the starship, but the health problems of the colony residents in outer space would also be solved.
Being in a low-gravity environment for a long time would have a considerable impact on people's health. Other things aside, the problem of osteoporosis alone was enough to kill a mammal. Otherwise, Celestial Trade would not have specially designed the huge bowl-shaped buildings in Lunar City and Tiangong City to simulate gravity through rotation to provide health services for the residents of the colony.
"You've digested Golovin's technology so quickly?" Jiang Chen looked at Amos in surprise.
In his impression, the information provided by Golovin related to gravity fields and gravitons seemed to be hundreds of terabytes in size. Although it contained a large number of holographic compositions, the sheer volume of the text was not a small number.
Even if he read ten lines at a glance, two weeks might not be enough.
