235: Chapter 235 Orion Arm Spin

This was the first interstellar organization Gao Yuan had encountered.

At this time, Gao Gan had already dismantled the information ship, found the control system inside, and begun analyzing the information it carried.

The analysis would take time.

The Human Fleet continued to advance toward Sirius.

Two months passed...

News came from the Academy of Sciences.

Saying that the results of the analysis were out.

Gao Yuan arrived at Aerospace Carrier No. 5; Gao Gan and Zhong Guoqiang were both there.

Their expressions were all incredibly solemn.

"What's wrong? Why the long faces?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"The news is not optimistic!"

"What could be so pessimistic? Could it be worse than us being trapped in the Solar System?"

Soon, the data was handed to Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan began reading the data word by word.

This reading lasted for a full two hours.

"What do you think?"

Seeing Gao Yuan put down the data, Gao Gan asked.

"Isn't it just a guess coming true? It's no big deal. If it comes down to it, we can just charge straight into the Milky Way's Spiral Arm!"

Gao Gan sighed.

"A civilization like ours, emerging from a three-dimensional world, is like a rat crossing the street in this universe. Furthermore, as a three-dimensional civilization, human civilization has a fatal flaw!"

Gao Yuan remained silent.

"Because our civilization was not naturally produced but born under the influence of a Four-Dimensional Civilization, the Polaris Civilization can be said to be the mother civilization of human civilization! Once they discover that humans have escaped the Solar System, they can use a civilization factor string code! This string code can lock onto humanity..."

"Yes, as long as the Polaris Civilization publishes our civilization string code, we will no longer be able to hide in the universe; they can find us at any time! This is a property of the civilization factor... Furthermore, the cosmic laws of the Milky Way do not allow three-dimensional civilizations to be independent! Once our civilization string code is published, if we encounter a monitoring team in the future, we will be marked immediately! What awaits us won't be an inquiry, but destruction!"

Gao Yuan also felt this was quite tricky.

In the universe, civilizations are driven by civilization factors. When a civilization enters the interstellar stage, the civilization factor will have a specific string code, and the human string code is similar to that of the Polaris Civilization.

So, in theory, the Polaris Civilization can use this civilization string code to locate humanity at any time.

Once located, they can open a space wormhole and arrive in no time.

The Human Fleet currently cannot contend with the Polaris Civilization; this is the consensus among all high-ranking human officials.

They had previously thought about going to Sirius and then to Tau Ceti, but now they were in despair; nowhere was safe.

Gao Yuan pondered...

He opened the star map.

The star map had also been brought over by Gao Gan.

It clearly displayed their current position.

The Human Fleet was located on the outskirts of the Orion Arm, 12 light-years away from entering the Orion Arm's Spiral Arm!

"If we want to evade the pursuit of the Polaris people, we can only enter the Spiral Arm. Inside the Spiral Arm are gas clouds, nebulae, and supernovae! As long as we enter the Spiral Arm, no one can locate us! We can take the opportunity to develop within the Spiral Arm!"

Gao Gan pondered.

"Twelve light-years. At a conservative estimate, in thirty years at most, the Polaris people will discover our escape and perform a civilization string code localization. With our current technology, it would take us over sixty years at the fastest to fly there! So... we would be discovered before we even arrived!"

"If we can increase the fleet's speed to 50% of the speed of light within ten years! Then we still have a chance!"

"50% of the speed of light? That's impossible... The Polaris Civilization's fleet reached 50% of the speed of light tens of thousands of years ago, and even now, they've only just broken 55% of the speed of light! Every 5% increase in a warship's speed represents a comprehensive upgrade of the civilization. Our current maximum is only 20%! To reach 50% within ten years! It's impossible..."

Zhong Guoqiang shook his head.

Gao Yuan also knew it would be difficult.

"Everyone, do we have a choice right now? Or look here, there is a star, Barnards Star. We can reach the Barnard system in eight years. At that time, we can use Barnard's gravitational slingshot to accelerate the fleet to 30%!"

"Impossible. If we truly reach 30% of the speed of light, our warships will disintegrate... they simply can't withstand it!"

A young scientist said.

"We still have eight years; we have plenty of opportunity to iterate on our materials! Alright, that's it! Going to the Orion Arm's Spiral Arm is our only chance!"

Many things are just like that...

When there's a choice, one feels conflicted and pained.

But when there is no choice, it becomes very simple. No matter how hard it is, just get it done.

"Quickly analyze the warship materials from the previous probe team... If we can crack it, it will be an upgrade for our warships too! I believe that with human wisdom, it's absolutely possible!"

Gao Yuan returned to his office and saw his second son, Gao Yu, snatch off a gaming helmet.

"Idiots, they're all idiots!"

"What's wrong?"

Gao Yuan sat in front of his son, who looked like an elven prince.

There are many such hybrids among humans now, mainly between humans and Saturnians, but almost no hybrids between humans and Venusians...

"Old man, the people who made this game are idiots. For a new type of material, I said just shrinking the atoms would work! But they actually said I was being fanciful!"

"Can atoms be shrunk?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"Why not? Atoms are composed of an atomic nucleus and electrons, with electrons orbiting the nucleus. In an atom, the nucleus occupies less than one percent of the volume... Electrons are just virtual charges with no mass; why not find a way to compress the electron orbits? Increase the electron's orbital speed?"

Gao Yuan hearing this...

...thought it made some sense.

So he simply recorded these words and sent them to Gao Gan.

"Your nephew said this; try to refute it..."

Gao Gan received Gao Yuan's message and frowned while watching Gao Yu's video.

After thinking for a while...

...he suddenly felt it really could work.

If you treat an atom like a star system, the nucleus is the sun, and the surrounding planets are electrons. Taking the Solar System as an example, the mass of planets like Earth and Mars is negligible compared to the Sun...

So calling them massless particles makes sense.

Electrons rotate around the nucleus because of electrostatic and gravitational forces. The closer the distance, the greater the force, but if the orbital speed of the electron can be increased, it can indeed maintain balance.

As the electron distance decreases and the orbital speed increases, the force of the dipole magnetic field generated by the vortex electrons will also strengthen, thereby strengthening the molecular forces...

As the forces strengthen...

...the hardness and strength of the matter formed by such atoms will naturally increase as well.

So, is it possible to achieve?

It really is possible!

Humans produce Antimatter by bombarding atoms with decaying neutrons to reverse the atomic charge!

Now, just by slightly changing the production method of Antimatter to bombard electrons and compress the distance between the electrons and the nucleus... the impact will also make the electrons rotate faster...

Having figured this out, Gao Gan immediately called in experimental personnel to begin testing.

They brought a small piece of iron into the lab...

...and began modifying the iron atoms!

...

A month later, the modification of the iron was finally complete. The volume of this piece of iron had shrunk by three times... but its hardness had increased three hundredfold.

Its hardness even far exceeded the current warship hulls...

And this was just a piece of ordinary iron. If it were a special alloy material, after such modification, it should be possible to withstand 50% of the speed of light.
