The Giant Corporations that Started in Night City

Chapter 214: Superluminal Technology Family Bucket! Communications! Suppressor!

‘Superluminal particles…! ’

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

The human scientific research team had observed and speculated that the reset technology used by mimicry was actually a technological device based on "superluminal particle communication"!

This superluminal particle communication technology is the final technology that mimicry has mastered in the long evolution process.

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

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

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

They cannot really reverse the increase of entropy, change the process of time, and return themselves to the past!

But they rely on superluminal communication to outperform the flow of time, allowing the future self to eliminate the wrong answers for the present self and help themselves make the right choice.

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

'Yes, everything is right! '

When Li Ang sorted out the logic of all this 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 knows the principle of mimicry [reset] and the real function of this thing, Li Ang can take a series of actions with confidence and make the next targeted decision.

'Huh... Fortunately, I didn't act rashly. If I really learned from the male protagonist in the movie and ran to die with Omega stupidly, then this life would be given away in vain! '

Li Ang suddenly felt a sense of relief for escaping a disaster. He didn't dare to imagine what kind of punishment he would receive after his death and then going back.

Sure enough, the world of the heavens opened by the level 2 star gate is not so easy to pass. This is such a deep mine buried for him at the beginning.

Under normal circumstances, when Leon comes to a new world of the heavens, he can follow the established plot development to carry out the next action and complete the task as soon as possible.

But judging from the current situation, the world of the heavens he will face in the future may not be so easy to let him pass through all the way as he wishes.

If he wants to continue to follow the original speed-passing rhythm and complete the subsequent tasks, he must first figure out the enemy's technology points and the role of their abilities.

Only in this way can he avoid the traps hidden under the mystery.

This is the case on Pandora, and it is even more so in the world of "Edge of Tomorrow"!

'Since there is no way to learn from the male protagonist to exchange one for one with Omega and get the other party's [Reset] ability, then we can only use the matrix to force this thing into the power grid! '

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

By then, Leon can 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 have an Omega with the function of "four-dimensional space recorder", a magical species that can predict the future in advance!

From the perspective of the four-dimensional perspective, this technology point is simply too awesome.

Before making any decision, Leon can first tell the result of the choice, and finally choose the best decision.

Obviously, this technology can be used in Leon's giant enterprise operation to help him make more correct choices!

'I didn't expect that the world of "Edge of Tomorrow" directly sent a choice excluder, but this thing is probably involved in cause and effect. '

Leon, the god of the heart, who is cautious by nature, certainly doesn't dare to use this device to see the future results casually.

Even if he wants to use it, he can only use it 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!

As for Omega, who frequently uses superluminal communication to change the current decision-making state.

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

But the result is that there is no effect!

If this were another universe, the entire microscopic system would have collapsed and annihilated long ago, and the universe might 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? ’

Leon shook his head and smiled. He suddenly remembered that the divination of the male protagonist of "Lord of Mysteries" can also get some definite clues and answers in the gray fog space.

But Klein's divination is still restrained, unlike Omega who resets back and forth to get the result of the future.

After thinking about it, Leon still thinks that his system rewind function is more awesome.

Directly reverse the entropy increase of the entire world and flow back to the past. How much energy will it consume and how much extremely rare negative entropy will be burned!

That's right, this is the treatment of the top Paradox war criminals.

Retracting his chaotic thoughts, Li Ang put his attention back on the superluminal communication technology.

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

If it is processed by the technology of the scientific hub, perhaps the giant enterprise can also improve and derive other powerful technology points related to superluminal speed!

For example, the superluminal navigation technology developed by the giant enterprise itself.

So far, the navigation technology that the scientific research department of the Universal Giant Enterprise has mastered is the antimatter engine technology.

This is still in the 001 universe "Underworld", which has been developed for a long time by condensed matter technology.

And now, the giant enterprise is about to have its own superluminal engine. This technology point is a ticket that symbolizes strength for Li Ang.

Only civilizations that have mastered superluminal navigation technology can be truly regarded as advanced civilizations in the universe and are qualified to participate in the civilization duel in the high-end game!

It can be said that "light speed" is a reference table for measuring the level of a civilization. Only civilizations that control technology beyond the speed of light can get the qualification to enter the King's Game.

As for civilizations that cannot even reach the speed of light, or even sub-light speed, they are just pathetic bugs.

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

But in other sci-fi planes, it is an invincible existence.

As the highest executive officer of the universe giant, Li Ang must of course use the attitude of dimensionality reduction to crush the world of the heavens.

Obtaining superluminal navigation technology is naturally a must.

‘Now that things have come to this, let’s take a look at what the research and development line of superluminal technology is. ’

Immediately, Li Ang switched out of the research and development area interface of the scientific hub megastructure and found the technology points related to superluminal technology.

[Superluminal particles] - [Superluminal communication technology] - [Superluminal engine] - [Planetary superluminal suppressor]

As expected, there are quite a few research and development products related to superluminal technology, and these technology points are all things that make Li Ang very greedy!

There is no need to say more about superluminal particles. The mimic species rely on this thing to create their superluminal communication devices.

And this is also the technology point that Li Ang has the most hope of getting immediately.

In addition to the legendary "divination and prediction", the superluminal communication technology can also be used by giant companies to manage the vast universe in the future.

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

In this way, the administrative efficiency of the giant company can be infinitely improved, and Li Ang's control can also completely cover the entire power map of the giant company.

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

The world giant company is based on efficiency!

'Comfortable. '

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

Then, Li Ang turned his attention to the superluminal engine technology behind.

Judging from the content displayed on the system interface, the superluminal engine technology is actually quite diverse, reaching 6 different driving methods.

For example, subspace navigation, hyperspace navigation, wormhole shuttle, curvature flight, gravity drive... and the last shock point drive!

Needless to say, the gravity drive, Li Ang's Infinity-class warship uses this type of superluminal engine to achieve superluminal space jump.

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

But now it is different. Once Li Ang takes down Omega and obtains the simulated superluminal communication technology, he can immediately start developing the superluminal engine.

With the most critical drive, the world giant enterprise is not far from realizing the mass production of the Infinity-class warship!

'Shock 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 secretly said, and then he clicked on the information about the shock point drive.

[Superluminal engine technology (shock point drive): "Dead Space" Ishimura]

'It's really a technology point in Dead Space! ’

Through the text on the interface, Li Ang quickly learned about the technical features of the oscillation point drive.

The spacecraft equipped with this drive can shrink the space-time field in front of the spacecraft, and the spacecraft will sail in the oscillation space.

During this period, the spacecraft will be wrapped by the warp bubble to avoid being distorted by the strong gravitational field in the oscillation space.

‘Does this thing achieve superluminal speed by oscillating space-time? This is very similar to the principle of the warp engine! ’

Li Ang thought thoughtfully.

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

The first is the pioneer civilization in "Pacific Rim", which directly learns from Lao Wang next door, makes a hole in space-time, and steals from the neighbor's house.

This is wormhole travel.

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

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

As for the third type of superluminal navigation technology, it is quite special!

Whether it is subspace navigation or hyperspace navigation, its essence is to abandon the conventional space and use other spaces for smoother navigation.

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

These extra dimensions exist in the gravity wells between stars, forming a network of space lanes.

And these channels can be used for faster-than-light navigation!

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

It's like Mr. Wang next door, who disliked that his Internet speed was not fast enough, so he directly pulled a separate network cable from the server terminal to his own computer.

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

To put it more vividly and simply, the Transportation Bureau specially opened a highway for Lao Wang with very few people, or even just him.

In this case, Lao Wang just accelerated the speed to 200 miles, and he could have as much fun as he wanted on this road.

There is no need to worry about "there are thousands of roads, safety comes first".

Of course, this super-light navigation technology is actually more like a combination of the characteristics of the first wormhole traversal and the second space distortion.

But no matter what kind of faster-than-light navigation technology it is, it is one of the compulsory skills for advanced civilizations, and it is the most basic course.

A civilization that has not even learned this technological point is not worthy of being called a so-called advanced civilization.

Naturally, they cannot participate in high-end games among advanced civilizations.

After reading the above three different methods of super-light travel, Li Ang still felt that the third super-light engine technology was more in line with his bohemian style.

He likes drifting.

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

Of course, Li Ang learned something different from such a wasteful and low-quality method.

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

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

So Li Ang still wants to experience other super-light voyages.

The hyperspace navigation technology is quite good!

‘It’s you! ’

After determining the specific research and development direction of super-light navigation technology, Li Ang set his sights on the last super-light technology point——

[Planetary FTL Suppressor]!

‘The other name for this thing is actually the Gravity Well Projector. I seem to 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.

Immediately, he simply cut out the introduction about the device on the system interface while recalling the information about this technological point.

After reading the relevant introduction, Li Ang remembered the role of the super-light suppressor.

"This thing is a highway checkpoint!"

Li Ang suddenly made a sound of surprise, his eyes flashing with surprise.

The working principle of the super-light suppressor is to increase the gravitational intensity of the target area to the extreme state by manipulating the gravitational field, forming an impenetrable natural barrier.

Any objects and spacecraft that try to enter hyperspace can only stay in regular space.

This technological point is equivalent to blocking a section of the highway. Lao Wang who wants to race can only be forced to slow down and change lanes, or return to the original road!

Almost subconsciously, Li Ang understood the importance of the super-light suppressor.

It can establish a "forbidden zone" to protect the important assets of giant companies in the world and restrict advanced civilizations from invading the areas of giant companies!

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

‘Good guy, I’ve got a high-end treasure! ’

Li Ang smiled and said, although he won't need this thing for a while, but later, this super-light suppressor will definitely be used.

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

Antimatter clouds that can annihilate countless interstellar battleships in an instant can be used to deal with civilizations sailing in regular space.

But it can't stop advanced civilizations that can sail from hyperspace!

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

This is like a landmine buried in the soil that cannot blow up the birds in the sky.

The dimensions of the two do not overlap at all, so naturally the annihilation property of the antimatter cloud cannot be triggered.

And now, if Li Ang has this technological point, no matter which dimension the hostile civilization comes from or which space it uses to sail at super-light speed, it must stop honestly!

After all, this road has been blocked by Leon's suppressor, and spacecraft sailing in hyperspace or subspace cannot get through at all.

Either take a detour or go back the way you came!

If the hostile civilization does not take the highway of hyperspace and chooses to take the ordinary path of regular space, then Li Ang can sow a dense cloud of antimatter.

An idea to prevent the other party from entering the sphere of influence of giant companies!

'What a pity...this thing is simply not something I can afford now. It's too wasteful of resources! ’

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

Just to create a local area, it requires a huge energy supply and a huge base.

How big is it? It only burns the energy and resources of a sun...

This is just the beginning of the device startup, not including the subsequent continuous operation and daily maintenance!

If the device is always turned on to maintain such a local restricted area, half of the sun will be burned every month.

This level of expenditure is not something that the current giant companies can afford.

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

Just a simple superluminal suppressor can make him sweat profusely, not to mention other heaven-defying technology points!

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

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

Sure enough, such a high-tech device involves many extremely complex technologies, including but not limited to particle physics, gravitational field, 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 hyperspace area that is partially inaccessible.

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

‘It is indeed a sci-fi version of the field expansion. Before the high-end civilization goes to war, it will first come with a wave of [field expansion, infinite space]. ’

Li Ang chuckled. He looked at this "special particle" with high energy that can produce a gravitational field distortion effect. It can be divided into two types.

The first particle is the graviton.

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

The second particle is the superluminal particle.

That is what Omega in "Edge of Tomorrow" is using.

It distorts space-time by changing the microscopic field.

No matter which of these two particles is used, a superluminal suppressor can be made.

After thoroughly understanding this information, Leon already knew what he should do next.

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

The first level of this world is to arrest Omega.

‘Every time at a critical moment, I have to rely on the magic weapon I draw out first, which provides 100% control stably! ’

Leon is getting more and more pleasing to the eye of the matrix. This technology point has killed too many bosses for him.

Whether it is the strongest transcendental AI Europa in the cyber world or "Eva" on Pandora, they are all killed in front of the matrix!

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

Just let V lead the team to raid Paris and go straight to Omega's lair.

However, this time, everyone has only one chance, including Leon!

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

Leon does not want any changes or accidents to happen in the middle. After all, the more chaotic the situation is, the more disadvantageous it is for the giant company.

If the UDF is attracted and blocked, Leon will have to withdraw his hands to deal with the human forces in "Edge of Tomorrow".

So the best plan is to summon V and others, explain the situation clearly, and personally observe the front line to make a series of decisions for them.

If the operation fails, Leon 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.
