Chapter 217 Research Dilemmas and Breakthrough Hopes
After the research base on the Silent Star was officially put into use, top scientists began their research on the spacetime technology of the ancient civilization with both anticipation and caution. They were well aware of the difficulty and importance of this task; every experimental step and every data interpretation was related to the future of the Alliance.
Initially, scientists conducted multi-dimensional scans and probes of the core sphere of spacetime technology, based on data brought back by the exploration team and preliminary analysis. However, the energy structure and operating principles inside the sphere were extremely complex, far exceeding their expectations. Conventional detection methods proved largely ineffective against this ancient device, and despite the vast amount of data generated, it was difficult to glean any useful clues.
The research had reached a stalemate. Scientists had worked tirelessly for days and nights, yet they still couldn't find a breakthrough. The atmosphere at the base was oppressive and heavy; while their eyes still held determination, they were also tinged with exhaustion and anxiety.
During a team discussion, a young scientist proposed a bold hypothesis. He argued that perhaps the sphere couldn't be understood solely based on existing scientific theories; the technological systems of ancient civilizations might be grounded in a completely different understanding of the universe. He suggested trying to find hidden clues in the signals left behind by these ancient civilizations to construct new research approaches.
This idea was like a ray of light in the darkness, bringing new hope to everyone. Therefore, scientists refocused their attention on the signals from the ancient civilization they had previously received, analyzing them word by word, attempting to extract information related to spacetime technology from between the lines.
After weeks of effort, they finally discovered some crucial clues. The ancient civilization's description of spacetime differed subtly from the Alliance's existing understanding; they seemed to view spacetime as a malleable substance, manipulated through specific energy frequencies and geometric structures.
Based on this discovery, scientists began to adjust their research direction and experimental methods. They used advanced equipment at the base to simulate the energy frequencies and geometric structures described by ancient civilizations, attempting to establish a special resonance with the sphere.
After numerous failures, the sphere finally responded to energy of a specific frequency in one experiment. The runes on the sphere's surface began to flicker, and faint energy fluctuations emanated from within, a change that thrilled all the scientists present.
As the experiments continued, scientists gradually grasped some of the patterns in the sphere's energy fluctuations. They discovered that by precisely adjusting the energy frequency and intensity, they could control the sphere to open small spacetime channels. Although these channels could only be maintained for extremely short periods and were very small in range, this was undoubtedly a major breakthrough.
However, achieving true spacetime manipulation is still a long way off. Subsequent research has revealed that maintaining the stability of spacetime channels requires enormous amounts of energy, far exceeding the capabilities of current energy supply methods. Furthermore, maintaining these channels open for extended periods could have unpredictable impacts on the surrounding spacetime structure.
To address the energy problem, scientists began studying a unique energy conversion method mentioned in signals from ancient civilizations. They attempted to utilize dark matter and dark energy in the universe, converting them into usable energy through a specific device. After countless trials and improvements, they successfully developed a new type of energy conversion device capable of meeting the energy needs of maintaining a spacetime tunnel to a certain extent.
While addressing energy issues, scientists are also working to stabilize spacetime channels. They have discovered that arranging a specific energy matrix around the channel can effectively counteract some of the effects of spacetime distortion, thereby extending the channel's lifespan.
As research deepens, scientists have made increasing achievements in spacetime technology. However, they are also well aware that every advancement comes with new risks and challenges. In exploring this powerful and mysterious technology, any small mistake could have catastrophic consequences. Therefore, they maintain a high degree of vigilance and rigor, with each experimental step undergoing repeated verification and testing.
Within the research base on the Silent Star, scientists continued their tireless work, day and night, with only one goal: to fully explore the potential of the ancient civilization's spacetime technology while ensuring safety, thus paving a new path for the future development of the Interstellar Alliance. Meanwhile, other members of the Alliance were also closely monitoring the research progress, hoping that this technology would bring about revolutionary changes to the Alliance and lead them to a more glorious future.
