Chapter 114 Gravity Stone, Five Years of Development
Fang Heng also had some guesses about the space crystals needed to build the teleportation device.
First, the Space Stone in the Marvel universe is definitely a type of space crystal, and it should be the highest-grade space crystal.
However, it's unclear how long it will take to find the so-called Marvel world coordinates. After all, current teleportation devices search for coordinates randomly, and often what they find are just random characters, not world coordinates at all.
Searching in the universe also requires luck, and the time involved is uncertain.
However, Fang Heng quickly came up with another solution: the Star Ocean Community of the Terminator world.
As a Starsea organization with a Type 5 civilization, it must possess cosmic artifacts similar to spatial crystals. As long as one can reach the nearest communication station, one can join the Starsea community and become a member.
At that time, at some cost, we can at least obtain a space crystal.
With the spatial crystal, they could have a second fleet capable of traversing time and space, and their mobility would be greatly enhanced.
Thinking of this, Fang Heng also looked at the secondary teleportation device.
Currently, the construction of the secondary teleportation device requires two core materials. One is space dust, which can be obtained from the teleportation device on the Punishment ship, and the output is not small.
Another material is Gravity Stone.
This is a unique type of raw stone that can only be formed under strong gravitational conditions. After searching across several worlds, thousands of these gravitational stones have been found so far.
Because they are products of a high-gravity environment, these gravity stones are shaped like an egg and are about the same size. It is only because Fang Heng's gravity technology has made breakthroughs that he was able to discover these gravity stones.
"Ethan, how's the search for the Gravity Stone here going?"
"Commander, the Gravity Stones in the current timeline are even rarer; so far, we've only found 10."
One.
"Sigh, this thing is strange. Some timelines have plenty of it, while others have very little. It's really true."
Fang Heng also shook his head. The properties of the Gravity Stone, under the exploration of gravity technology, are like a beacon, impossible to hide.
Because of the universal law of gravity, every object has gravity. However, the Gravity Stone is different; it has no gravity of its own. Therefore, after detecting the Gravity Stone, you can see that the originally smooth gravity curve of the detection device will have a break in the middle.
That's why Fang Heng had such feelings.
"By the way, have you explored those high-gravitational environments, such as neutron stars and white dwarfs?"
"Commander, with our current technology, even if we can confirm that there are a large number of Gravity Stones in these places, we cannot collect them. The strong gravitational environment prevents our warships from landing."
Unless there is another breakthrough in gravity technology, the conditions for data collection will not be available.
"Alas, technological development cannot be achieved overnight; we can only wait."
As one of the four great forces of the universe, gravity technology is a technology developed based on the study of universal gravitation.
Meanwhile, there is also corresponding scientific research on the other three major forces: the strong interaction, the weak interaction, and the electromagnetic force.
For example, electromagnetic deflection shields are a study of electromagnetic forces.
The strong and weak interaction forces can be considered a manifestation of nuclear force, with fission and fusion cores being one example.
These four forces are the fundamental forces that reveal the workings of the universe. If a grand unified theory can be found, then the civilization's level of civilization in the universe will definitely not be low.
Having experienced these different timelines, Fang Heng has not made any breakthroughs in this area of research, so he is now looking forward to whether there will be any new discoveries within the Star Sea Community.
At the scene, with the warship's testing completed, Fang Heng returned to his residence, where he will now dedicate himself to development for the next five years.
At this stage, as long as I haven't returned to the main world after being transported to the new world, the ratio of time spent in the new world is basically one month to one year.
Fang Heng has set a goal to stay here for a total of 12 years, as he has spent 10 years here.
For someone with a lifespan of 1500 years, these 12 years are a manageable amount of time.
Five years passed quickly, and the Neptune Galaxy has undergone tremendous changes.
Eight years is neither a long nor a short time.
Over the past five years, as Fang Heng's cooperation with the Earth Federation has increased, the two sides officially established diplomatic relations four years ago, forming the Human Community Alliance.
Therefore, the Neptune system was also opened up as a place for exchanges between the two sides.
Meanwhile, the Earth Federation also figured out some details about Fang Heng's side. At least they knew that this so-called Human Alliance was either fabricated or had lost contact with its headquarters.
However, seeing Fang Heng's powerful fleet, the Earth Federation could only watch helplessly. After Fang Heng completed the testing of the battleships, he formed a temporary fleet and directly flexed his muscles on the side of the Earth Federation, which intimidated them.
The scene is still vivid in my mind: the powerful defense, the energy shield, the warp speed of travel exceeding a hundred times the speed of light, and the antimatter cannon that could blast a hole in a planet with a single shot—all of these demonstrated the formidable strength of Fang Heng's side.
So on the surface, the Earth Federation was on good terms and had established trade relations with Fang Heng.
As for Fang Heng, because its core is based on Chinese civilization, it has also attracted many East Asians from the Earth Federation to settle there.
After all, the Earth Federation had only been established for a few hundred years, and the settlements of the Eastern people still preserved the inheritance of traditional culture.
So after discovering the core of Fang Heng's culture, these people were overjoyed, feeling that they had finally found their community, and they all applied for immigration.
The Earth Federation welcomed this wholeheartedly, because the mainstream culture is Western, so these groups with Eastern cultures have always been unpopular.
However, this type of population is the largest, so cultural differences sometimes lead to many conflicts.
Therefore, dealing with such matters is always a major headache for the Federation. After all, Western culture values freedom, and cultural freedom is one of those freedoms. They cannot force these people to change their cultural beliefs; they can only change the next generation through generations of education.
Unfortunately, the core of Eastern culture caused all these attempts at transformation to fail.
Now that Fang Heng is willing to accept it, the Earth Federation is very welcoming.
Meanwhile, Fang Heng was also reviewing the developments over the years.
"Commander, after nearly five years of development, we have received a total of 5 million immigrants. The number of immigration applications has gradually decreased and is expected to return to normal levels in a year."
These immigrants are currently settled in Atlantis and on three habitable planets within the Nantian system.
"Very good, now these planets are comparable to Earth, right?"
"Based on the data and actual experience, it is much better than the Earth is now."
"That's good. These people can be considered part of our core group. Although there are many spies among them, as long as the overall situation is fine, these people will be the best source of soldiers after a few generations."
Fang Heng was very satisfied with his cheat system. These immigrants had a high sense of belonging to this place, which meant they were his subjects. So, as time went on, their loyalty would increase. As long as the large group was safe, any spies would be overwhelmed by the vast sea of people. At the same time, according to the data, the Nantian system, which was the Heng system that had been occupied by the insect swarm, had three planets in its habitable zone. After all the alien insects were eliminated, these three planets were also transformed and became habitable again. Now, these 5 million humans are evenly distributed across these four planets.
Their main tasks were to increase the population and grow food.
The popularization of education for all has enabled all school-age children to attend school, while those with a skill have joined various factories to work.
Now that the entire social system is operational, as long as development proceeds step by step, there will soon be no shortage of manpower to operate the warships.
In terms of people's livelihood, there are naturally professionals to handle it. As for corruption and abuse of power for personal gain, with the assistance of the artificial intelligence monitoring network, as long as there is a report, a verification team will appear. If no problem is found, the whistleblower will be punished, but if a problem is found, the whistleblower will be rewarded.
With public oversight, the social atmosphere is also very good.
After taking a quick look and confirming that there were no problems, Fang Heng turned his attention to the military aspects.
"Ethan, do we have enough crew members on the warship now?"
"Yes, Commander. We have enough operators. Once this batch of personnel graduates, our fleet will be fully operational."
"Indeed, it seems that establishing the Interstellar Naval Academy was quite necessary. When we return, we will establish one according to the current standards."
"Yes, Commander."
Since the start of the immigration process four years ago, Fang Heng has established several military academies to address the shortage of crew members, including the Interstellar Naval Academy, the Army Command Academy, and the Military Technology Academy.
Among these, the Interstellar Naval Academy specializes in teaching knowledge about warship command and operation.
The Army Command Academy is an exclusive academy for the Marine Corps and Space Infantry, since ultimately it is the Army that needs to conquer territory.
The Military Science and Technology Academy serves two purposes: firstly, to train personnel for research and development of military technology, and secondly, to train maintenance personnel for warships.
The emergence of the three academies also brought fresh blood to Fang Heng's military talent pool. Under the high-intensity learning model, the first batch of students graduated in just three years and began serving in the fleet.
Once this year's students graduate, my first mixed fleet will be fully staffed.
Thinking of this, Fang Heng was also very happy. He had almost completed all of his missions in this time and space, except for the last one.
Thinking of the last task he had set for himself, Fang Heng immediately instructed his men to contact the Earth Federation to initiate a meeting and discuss a joint operation against the Zerg.
