Chapter 214: A complete collection of FTL technologies! Communications! Suppressors!

"Superluminal particles...!"

After a while, Li Ang recalled some details he had seen in the original content of "Edge of Tomorrow".

Human scientific research teams have observed and speculated that the reset technology used by mimicry is actually a technological device based on "superluminal particle communication"!

This superluminal particle communication technology is the ultimate technology mastered by mimicry in the long process of evolution.

With the help of this powerful "precognitive" ability, they have become one of the dominant species in the universe.

In other words, mimicry is an extraordinary alien species that uses "time" to win. They rely on predicting the future to win every battle.

Therefore, the [reset] technology of mimicry is actually not psychic power at all, let alone fantasy. It is just a trick of mimicry to transplant flowers and trees.

They cannot truly reverse the increase in entropy, change the course of time, and return to the past!
Instead, it relies on superluminal communication to outrun the flow of time, allowing its future self to eliminate wrong answers for its present self and help itself make the right choice.

This thing... is actually very similar to the Chinese divination technique, even the principles are somewhat similar!

"Yes, all of them are correct!"

When Leon figured out the logic of it all and the origin of the mimicry reset technology, the invisible pressure in his heart was instantly relieved.

People's fear often comes from the unknown.

As long as he knew the [reset] principle of mimicry and its true function, Leon could take a series of actions with confidence and make targeted decisions for the next step.

"Huh... Fortunately, I didn't act rashly. If I had followed the lead of the male protagonist in the movie and stupidly ran to die with Omega, my life would have been wasted!"

Li Ang suddenly felt a sense of relief that he had escaped a disaster. He couldn't imagine what kind of punishment he would receive if he died and then went back to the past.

Sure enough, the world of the universe opened by the level 2 star gate is not so easy to pass through. Such a deep landmine was buried for him at the very beginning.

Generally speaking, when Li Ang arrives at a new alien world, he can completely follow the established plot and take the next actions to complete the mission as soon as possible.

But judging from the current situation, the worlds he will face in the future will not be so easy to pass through as he wishes.

If you want to continue to complete subsequent tasks at the original speed-pass pace, you must first understand the enemy's technological points and their abilities.

This is the only way to avoid the traps hidden under the puzzle.

This is true on Pandora, and even more so in the world of Edge of Tomorrow!
"Since we can't do what the male protagonist did and exchange one for one with Omega to get his [Reset] ability, we can only use the matrix to forcibly integrate this thing into the power grid!"

After knowing Omega's background, Leon immediately made a decision that he had to lock Omega in his own matrix and keep him as a tool.

By then, Leon will be able to improve and develop more technical points related to superluminal technology based on Omega's superluminal particle technology through the scientific hub megastructure.

But now, Leon is about to own an Omega with the function of a "four-dimensional space recorder", a magical species that can predict the future in advance!

Looking at the results from a four-dimensional perspective, this technological achievement is simply too amazing.

Before making any decision, Li Ang would first tell fortunes for himself to see the consequences of the choice and then choose the best decision.

Obviously, this technology can be fully used in Li Ang's giant enterprise operations to help him make more correct choices!

'I didn't expect that the world of Edge of Tomorrow would directly give me a choice excluder, but I'm afraid this thing has long been involved in cause and effect.'

Li Ang, the god of the heart, who is cautious by nature, certainly does not dare to use this device to see future results.

Even if it is to be used, it can only be used in this 003 universe "Edge of Tomorrow".

After all, the microscopic quantum field of this universe is so damn stable that it can be said to be indestructible!

Omega frequently uses superluminal communication to change the current decision-making state.

Under normal circumstances, it should have a series of impacts on the microscopic field of the entire universe.

But the result was that there was no effect!

If this happened in another universe, the entire microscopic system would have collapsed and annihilated long ago, and it is possible that the universe would have crashed and restarted on the spot.

"What is the chosen gray fog? The gray fog of Xiao Ke in "Lord of Mysteries" is actually in this universe, right?"

Li Ang shook his head and smiled. He suddenly remembered that the divination skills of the protagonist in "Lord of Mysteries" could also get some definite clues and answers in the gray fog space.

But Klein's divination skills were relatively restrained, unlike Omega's ability to reset back and forth to get answers to future results.

After thinking about it, Li Ang still felt that his system rollback function was more powerful.

Directly reversing the entropy increase of the entire universe and flowing back to the past would consume tremendous amounts of energy and burn up a lot of extremely scarce negative entropy flow!
That’s right, this is how top Paradox war criminals are treated.

Retracting his chaotic thoughts, Li Ang turned his attention back to the superluminal communication technology.

Once Omega is successfully captured, it means that the Universal Corporation will obtain this extremely incredible technology in the 003 universe.

If it undergoes technological processing at the scientific hub, perhaps the giant enterprise can also improve and derive other powerful technological points related to superluminal speed!
For example, the superluminal navigation technology developed by a giant company.

Up to now, the only navigation technology that the research and development department of the world's giant company has mastered is the antimatter engine technology.

This is a navigation engine that was developed in the "Underworld" world of the 001 universe after a long period of research and development using condensed matter technology.

And now, the giant company is about to have its own superluminal engine. For Li Ang, this technology is a ticket that symbolizes strength.

Only a civilization that has mastered the technology of superluminal travel can be truly considered an advanced civilization in the universe and is qualified to participate in high-end civilization showdowns!
It can be said that "the speed of light" is a reference for measuring the level of a civilization. Only civilizations that master technology that exceeds the speed of light can qualify to enter the King's Game.

As for civilizations that cannot reach the speed of light, or even sub-light speed, they are nothing but pathetic insects.

You know, in the "Stellaris" universe, superluminal technology can only be regarded as the most basic technology.

But in other science fiction dimensions, it is an invincible existence.

As the chief executive of a giant corporation in the universe, Li Ang must of course use the attitude of dimensionality reduction to crush and overthrow the world.

Naturally, we are determined to obtain the superluminal travel technology.

"Now that things have come to this, let's take a look at the research and development line of FTL technology."

Immediately, Li Ang switched to the R&D area interface of the scientific hub megastructure and found the technology point related to superluminal technology.

[Superluminal Particles] - [Superluminal Communication Technology] - [Superluminal Engine] - [Planetary Superluminal Inhibitor]

As expected, there are quite a few research and development products related to superluminal technology, and these technological points are all things that make Le Ang extremely greedy!
There is no need to say much about superluminal particles. Mimic species rely on this thing to create their superluminal communication devices.

This is also the technology point that Le Ang has the most hope of obtaining immediately.

In addition to being able to achieve the legendary "divination and precognition", superluminal communication technology can also be used by giant companies to manage vast cosmic territories in the future.

Whether it is across the universe or across billions of light years, the device can achieve real-time information transmission.

In this way, the administrative efficiency of the giant enterprise can be infinitely improved, and Leon's control can completely cover the entire power map of the giant enterprise.

Even if it is on the other side of the world across the star gate, Le Ang can directly give orders to the employees there, so there is no need to build so many signal base stations and transmit instructions one by one.

As a global giant, efficiency is our top priority!

'It feels good.'

Li Ang smiled with satisfaction. For him who pursues efficiency, he must get this thing.

Immediately afterwards, Li Ang turned his attention to the superluminal engine technology.

Judging from the content displayed on the system interface, the superluminal engine technology is actually quite diverse, with as many as 6 different driving modes.

Such as subspace navigation, hyperspace navigation, wormhole travel, curvature flight, gravity drive... and the last one is the shock point drive!
There is no need to say much about the gravity drive. Leon's Infinity-class battleship uses this type of superluminal engine to achieve superluminal space jumps.

But after all, he got this technology point for free from the system, and the giant company simply does not have the ability to develop a superluminal engine on its own.

But now it’s different. Once Leon takes down Omega and obtains the simulated superluminal communication technology, he can immediately start developing the superluminal engine.

Now that the most critical driver has been mastered, the Universal Giant Enterprise will not be far from realizing the mass production of Infinity-class warships!
"Oscillating point drive? Isn't this the engine technology in Dead Space? I didn't expect to see it here."

At this time, Li Ang was slightly surprised, and then he clicked on the information about the shock point driver.

[Flash-speed engine technology (shock point drive): "Dead Space" Ishimura]

'It's really a technological highlight in Dead Space!'

Through the text on the interface, Li Ang quickly understood the technical characteristics of the oscillation point driver.

A spacecraft equipped with this drive can shrink the space-time in front of the spacecraft, and the spacecraft will navigate in the vibrating space.

During this period, the spacecraft will be wrapped in a warp bubble to prevent it from being distorted by the strong gravitational field in the vibrating space.

"This thing achieves superluminal speed by oscillating space-time? This is very similar to the principle of warp drive!"

Li Ang said thoughtfully.

In fact, the so-called superluminal navigation technology can be roughly divided into three types.

The first type is the pioneer civilization in "Pacific Rim", who directly learned from Lao Wang next door, dug a hole in time and space, and went to the neighbor's house to steal.

This is wormhole travel.

The second type is warp drive, oscillation point drive, and gravity drive, which achieve superluminal movement by distorting the surrounding space-time.

Just like the two points A and B marked on the paper, they are originally very far apart, but after folding, the distance between the two points AB can be greatly shortened.

As for the third type of superluminal travel technology, it is quite special!
Whether it is subspace navigation or hyperspace navigation, its essence is to abandon conventional space and rely on other spaces for smoother navigation.

The principle of this navigation is to rely on specific devices to infinitely expand the multi-dimensional space, just like the crisscrossing silk threads on a spider web.

These extra dimensions exist on the gravity wells between stars, forming a network of space channels. And these channels can be used for faster-than-light travel!

When the spacecraft enters the channel, it can take advantage of the distortion characteristics of the space to shuttle and jump between dimensions and quickly reach its destination.

This is just like Mr. Wang next door, who was dissatisfied with the fact that his internet speed was not fast enough, so he directly pulled a network cable from the server terminal to his computer.

Without other network congestion and redundancy, the Internet speed will naturally be extremely fast.

To put it more simply, the Transportation Bureau opened a highway specifically for Lao Wang with very few passengers, or even just him.

In this situation, Lao Wang just drove the car at a speed of 200 miles per hour and had as much fun as he wanted on this road.

There is no need to worry about “there are thousands of roads, but safety is the first.”

Of course, this superluminal travel technology is actually more like a combination of the characteristics of the first wormhole crossing and the second space distortion.

But no matter which type of superluminal navigation technology it is, it is one of the compulsory skills of advanced civilizations and is the most basic course.

A civilization that has not even mastered this technological point cannot be called an advanced civilization.

Naturally, they will not be able to participate in high-end games between advanced civilizations.

After reading the above three different ways of superluminal travel, Leon still felt that the third superluminal engine technology was more in line with his unruly style.

He likes drifting.

Although opening a wormhole is convenient, the energy consumption is also high. For example, the pioneer civilization in "Pacific Rim" almost hollowed out its own home planet.

Of course, Li Ang would not learn such a wasteful and low-class method.

What's more, he already has a star gate and has obtained a reliable and stable natural wormhole from the pioneer civilization, so there is no need to light up this technology point.

And relying on the engine device that distorts time and space, the Infinity-class warship already has a gravity drive.

So Leon still wants to experience other superluminal travel.

The hyperspace navigation technology is quite good!

"It's you!"

After determining the specific research and development direction of FTL navigation technology, Li Ang turned his attention to the last FTL technology point -

[Planetary Superluminal Inhibitor]!
"This thing's nickname is actually a gravity well projector. I think I know this thing..."

Li Ang's impression of this device was a bit vague, and he couldn't remember the specific function of the suppressor for a while.

Then, he simply opened the introduction of the device on the system interface and recalled the information about this technology point.

After reading the relevant introduction, Li Ang remembered the role of the superluminal suppressor.

"This thing is a checkpoint on the highway!"

Li Ang suddenly exclaimed in surprise, with surprise flashing in his eyes.

The working principle of the superluminal inhibitor is to manipulate the gravitational field to increase the gravitational intensity of the target area to the limit, forming an impenetrable natural barrier.

Any object or spacecraft attempting to enter hyperspace can only remain in conventional space.

This technology point is equivalent to directly blocking a section of the highway. Lao Wang, who wants to drive fast, can only be forced to slow down and change lanes, or return to the original route!

Almost subconsciously, Leon understood the importance of the superluminal suppressor.

It can establish a "forbidden zone" to protect the important assets of the giant corporation and restrict the invasion of advanced civilizations into the area of ​​the giant corporation!

This is somewhat similar to the bunker plan in "The Three-Body Problem".

"My goodness, I got a high-end treasure!"

Li Ang smiled and said that although he would not need this thing for a while, this superluminal suppressor would definitely be useful in the future.

In the state of space navigation, it can generally be divided into conventional space, or subspace or hyperspace navigation.

An antimatter cloud that can annihilate countless interstellar battleships in an instant can be used to deal with civilizations traveling in conventional space.

But it can't stop advanced civilizations that can travel through hyperspace!

Because they don't take the path of conventional space at all, but directly "fly" over from other dimensions at superluminal speed.

This is like a landmine buried in the soil, which cannot explode the birds in the sky.

The two dimensions do not overlap at all, so naturally they cannot trigger the annihilation properties of the antimatter cloud.

And now, if Leon has this technology point, no matter which dimension the hostile civilization comes from or which space it uses to fly at superluminal speed, it must stop honestly!
After all, this road has been blocked by Leon's inhibitor, and spacecraft traveling in hyperspace or subspace cannot pass through at all.

Either take a detour or return the same way!

If the hostile civilization does not take the hyperspace highway and chooses to take the ordinary road of conventional space, then Leon can spread a dense antimatter cloud.

The idea of ​​using it to prevent the other party from entering the sphere of influence of the giant enterprise!
"What a pity... I can't afford this thing right now. It's too resource-intensive!"

Li Ang looked at the resources needed to develop this technology, as well as the cost of construction and maintenance. That thing is simply burning money like water.

Just to create a local area, an extremely large energy supply and a huge base are required.

No matter how big it is, it will only burn up the energy and resources of a sun...

This is just the initial startup of the device, and does not include subsequent continuous operation and daily maintenance!

If the device is kept on all the time to maintain this local restricted area, half of the sun will be burned up every month.

This level of expenditure is simply not something that the world's largest companies can afford.

At this moment, Li Ang, who had long been accustomed to attacking other worlds by dimensionality reduction, felt for the first time so clearly the "money-burning" pressure from the high-end game.

A simple FTL inhibitor alone would make him sweat profusely, not to mention the other incredible technological points!

"We still have to speed up the development of science and technology. The giant enterprise has not even touched the threshold of advanced civilization. How can we talk about reviving the giant enterprise and supporting the world? ! "

Before officially exiting the system panel, Li Ang took a last look at the research and development technical points of the superluminal suppressor.

As expected, such a heaven-defying technological device involves many extremely complex technologies, including but not limited to particle physics, gravitational fields, and in-depth research on hyperspace.

The specific working process of the superluminal inhibitor is to first use the microscopic properties of special particles to create a locally inaccessible hyperspace area.

It directly distorts the structure of space and time at a microscopic level!

'This is truly a science fiction version of a domain expansion. Before a high-end civilization goes to war, they will first perform a wave of [Domain Expansion, Infinite Space].'

Li Ang chuckled. He looked at these "special particles" with high energy that can produce gravitational field distortion effects. They can be divided into two types.

The first particle is the graviton.

This is an existence beyond elementary particles, which interacts with the gravitational field and has the property of transmitting gravity. It can achieve a strong gravitational field through precise adjustment and guidance of graviton beams.

The second type of particle is the superluminal particle.

This is the thing that Omega in "Edge of Tomorrow" is using.

It distorts time and space by changing the microscopic field.

Either of these two particles can be used to create a superluminal suppressor.

After thoroughly understanding this information, Li Ang already knew what to do next.

That is to send out his most capable men, lead the most elite team members of the giant company, and use the matrix to forcibly integrate Omega into the power grid!

The first level of this world of the universe is to arrest Omega.

"Every time at a critical moment, I still have to rely on the magic weapon I pulled out first, which provides 100% stable control!"

Li Ang is becoming more and more fond of the matrix. This technology has helped him kill too many bosses.

Whether it is Europa, the most powerful transcendental AI in the cyber world, or "Eva" from the planet Pandora, they will all be killed instantly in front of the Matrix!

Now, Leon, who has learned about the current situation, will naturally not go to great lengths to test Omega like the protagonist of "Edge of Tomorrow".

All we need to do is let V lead the team to raid Paris and go straight to Omega's lair.

However, in this operation, everyone only has one chance, including Li Ang!

If the mission fails and Omega triggers the [Reset] mechanism, it will be difficult for them to carry out such a surprise attack again.

Li Ang doesn't want any changes or accidents to happen along the way. After all, the more chaotic the situation is, the more disadvantageous it will be for the giant company.

If it attracts the attention and obstruction of UDF, Leon will have to withdraw his hands to deal with the human forces in "Edge of Tomorrow".

Therefore, the best solution is to call V and others together, explain the situation clearly, go to the front line in person to observe, and make a series of decisions for them.

If the operation fails, then Li Ang can only prepare for the worst!
Thinking of this, Leon immediately ordered AI Europa to send a message to V, Jack Wells, Reed and others, asking them to come to the command room for a meeting.

"I hope this operation will be as smooth as before!" Leon prayed in his heart.
