Deep Space Wandering Fleet-Chapter 613 - 609: Large Curvature Equation (Four updates!)
Chapter 613: Chapter 609: Large Curvature Equation (Four updates!)
"He really figured it out, he really did!"
"Hahaha, the large curvature equation has been solved, solved! A set of characteristic solutions has emerged!"
The chief curvature expert named Li Chatu, his face flushed with excitement, screamed loudly, while the dozen or so assistants beside him stared at the data on the screen with shaking excitement.
Even one of the girls was so excited that she foamed at the mouth before collapsing to the ground with a "thump"!
To the uninitiated, it might seem as if these folks had caught some collective epileptic fit!
"Beep beep!"
The piercing sound of a doorbell rang through the room, followed immediately by several robot nurses rushing in, lifting the fallen girl and urgently transporting her to the hospital.
It took a while for this group to recover from their euphoria, finally stopping to catch their breaths.
"Where’s Jin Meilin? How did Jin Meilin faint?" A few of the guys seemed to remember something and started looking for their female colleague who had been carted away.
They ended up scratching their heads in deep thought, bewildered that a living person had been taken away by robots without them noticing.
Then, the collective celebration began again, filling the room with an air of joy.
Technology has this unpredictable element; sometimes it gets stuck for hundreds of years, and at other times, it makes a breakthrough in an instant!
"Large curvature! The large curvature equation has been cracked! Hahaha!" Li Chatu, overcome with joy, bounced around and accidentally slammed his forehead against the wall, forming a large bump.
Then the middle-aged scientist dashed out crazily...
Planet Curvature Technology was a critical issue for Planet Fortresses, involving many equations that needed to be studied. Some were mathematical problems, others engineering ones.
The larger the space you want to distort, the more complicated the equation solutions become.
To twist a planet-sized space not only presented immense industrial challenges but also theoretical difficulties as well. One complexity was known as the "large curvature equation", which, in layman’s terms, involved the technology of merging multiple "curvature bubbles".
It’s nearly impossible to envelop an entire planet in a single "curvature bubble".
Thus, it was necessary to use a multitude of Planet Curvature Engines to "merge" the curvature bubbles into one another.
Of course, this is just a simplified explanation – in reality, the process is far more complex. It’s not so straightforward as to simply want to merge them. One would need to solve the "large curvature equation" lest the "curvature bubbles" simply "explode". And such an explosion could generate a massive gravitational wave strong enough to tear apart a whole planet!
This conundrum had mathematicians racking their brains for many years without a solution, watching engineers breach some barriers, with production all set, and even several War Stars negotiated, ready to be purchased at a moment’s notice!
But without solving this, they were stuck at the final hurdle!
It was infuriating!
It was as if a bunch of incompetents were holding them back!
... And they were the incompetents!
Consequently, the mental stress on the related scientists was mounting drastically, making them increasingly irritable. Over the years, their shouts and commotion were a common sound in corridors and elevators; they were on a hair-trigger over the tiniest things.
The management, though outraged, dared not speak against these scientists, who couldn’t be scolded directl and still need to be well taken care of.
Even some council members contemplated purchasing with AmiBa Points, without this technology, a War Star was just a sitting duck, utterly useless!
Despite the urgent, rushed purchase, they were bound to be severely overcharged.
Until today, that is, when Li Chatu’s team cracked the secret of the "large curvature equation", announcing a significant fact: Damn it, there’s no need to buy anymore!
...
One day later, in the grand conference room of Departure No. A District...
"...From the aforementioned laws, we can see that the general solution of the large curvature equation can be facilitated by a technique called MAS, which is a problem-solving approach invented by my research team. I believe there is significant room for improvement, to increase its precision. This algorithmic improvement will need everyone’s collective effort to accomplish."
Li Chatu, the physicist on stage, with a ruddy complexion, was presenting his research findings.
This work was so important that it had not yet been compiled into a complete paper; it was only hastily organized overnight for this presentation.
Below him was a dense crowd of people, including government workers, physicists, industrial scientists, and more, all nodding and listening to the expert above describe the solutions.
A wave of discussion occasionally broke out in the meeting room.
Most of them didn’t really understand and couldn’t even interpret the symbols above. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Li Chatu, still immersed in the euphoria of solving a world-class problem, floated on cloud nine.
However exalted he felt, he still needed to explain the theories to his peers; it wasn’t enough for just him to be happy... If the approach couldn’t be translated into industry, then it was merely theoretical in nature.
He demonstrated his problem-solving technique and then the experimental data; no theory is complete without experimental validation, and the results looked fairly solid.
Then came the formulas, charts, dazzling the audience...
Journalists eager for big news, naturally couldn’t understand all this; there were so many people in the room that they didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly, let alone complain.
Peer review lasted three days in total, with the atmosphere growing more festive by the second and third days during the debates, is culminating in thunderous applause.
"Looks like we can settle on this; there’s an 80% assurance that this solution is correct!" declared a physicist who understood some of the proposals, explaining to a companion.
"Is there potential for industrial application?"
"There should be... However, it will require some time for experimentation. The newly constructed laboratory will prove very useful!"
Zhang Yuan, listening from below, also heaved a sigh of relief and discussed the risks and opportunities with a few colleagues.
A member of the government think tank said to Zhang Yuan, "What a huge surprise. It seems it really was worth it to purchase a semi-finished War Star."
"This AmiBa Points, I think it’s very worthwhile, now that conditions have matured, we could save a couple thousand years of foundational work."
He spoke, and as if struck by another thought, he quickly changed topic, "But after purchasing the War Star, we will have to stay here longer. The Curvature Engine won’t be constructed in a hurry, and once the Amoeba Faction’s trade market leaves, we’ll still be here developing the War Star. That’s a significant risk."
