576 An Unexpected Surprise, Building a Planetary Defense System
“We need to raise the production of antimatter to a new level and explore the legendary dark matter!”
Dark matter was a variant of matter like antimatter, but it was more mysterious and powerful.
It was said that dark matter was everywhere, but no one could capture it.
Its power was not as violent as antimatter, but it was full of destruction.
Once dark matter reacted with existing matter, it would quickly cause the destruction and collapse of everything around it.
Therefore, it was not difficult to imagine how the human world would face large-scale extinction if this happened.
Everything today is made of matter, and their basic elements form the periodic table of elements that we are familiar with.
Once these elements disappeared, the human body would also disappear completely.
“Oh, my God! We actually traveled beyond the speed of light!”
This shocking discovery shook the biggest experts in the scientific community. It still felt like a dream.
They never thought that they would be able to witness it in their lifetime, and it aroused a deeper level of curiosity.
Such a huge spaceship could travel faster than light speed.
In that case, could a person travel faster than the speed of light, go back to the past, and witness historic moments from ancient times?
This question sparked a wider discussion. Not only did scientists show interest but literati and historians did too.
However, according to the mainstream consensus, it was an unscientific idea. In theory, the human eye reflected light, so one could see beyond the reflection of light if one could surpass the speed of light.
However, the flow of time was synchronized.
Unless you could surpass the speed of light and the flow of time, you would still see things at the same time as you.
However, to Wu Mo, these discussions were meaningless.
His current goal was to return to the base immediately and check the system’s store. At this moment, the system had added some new items to the store, which surprised Wu Mo.
For one, there was the Heavenly Cannon! This super weapon’s range of attack exceeded the entire planet’s size. Usually, in the vacuum environment of outer space, the lack of air resistance could be utilized to obtain greater propulsion. This resulted in a larger explosion and wider range.
The cost of making these cannons was not cheap, but with Wu Mo’s current strength, it was completely possible to make three to five of them at once.
There was also a device called the Power Generation Center. The name sounded more like a concept.
However, it was not a real power generation center but a piece of equipment made using the same principle.
There was actually a free cruising system similar to satellite detection hidden in this ultimate power generation center.
One could set it up thousands of kilometers away from the atmosphere, and it would gaze at the universe like a single eye.
Its biggest advantage was its ability to automatically charge all kinds of equipment that passed by.
This idea might have seemed a little unrealistic, but in reality, someone had tried it a long time ago. Now, the system’s store had turned it into reality.
Wu Mo’s heart skipped a beat when he saw it. A plan to build a planetary defense system gradually took shape in his mind.
The ultimate power generation device would be placed in outer space so that it could cruise like a space station. It would also be equipped with a giant cannon to protect the entire planet.
With that in place, they would be prepared when other civilizations approached. Some civilizations would even feel fear and retreat quickly if they saw such equipment.
In the distance, the small antimatter spaceship continued its search for other civilizations in the deep cosmos. In the long run, all of this would help ensure China’s safety to the greatest extent.
With the system’s protection, the entire planet became more secure.
This stable development environment caused earth-shaking changes in the whole of human society.
Now, antimatter was no longer a rare thing. Every country had at least one small or large controllable nuclear fusion reactor.
This reactor could provide an endless supply of energy, which allowed the people of these countries to enjoy unlimited energy supply.
Therefore, each country developed at rocket speed, and development trends showed a vertical straight line.
Activating a controllable nuclear fusion reactor was like opening Pandora’s box. It raised the entire planet’s civilization to a new level.
Their planet had undergone earth-shaking changes. High-rise buildings had become the basic configuration, and there were many facilities, as well as buildings, straight out of a science fiction movie.
They had achieved unimaginable things as humans, but China had always been at the forefront of the world.
Seeing the planet’s civilization gradually progress, the Chinese people were extremely proud.
At present, China had basically confirmed their status in the eyes of the alien life forms—it was a Level 4 space civilization.
Wu Mo, who had fought with Dark Star before, knew that even though they were already a Level 4 civilization, they still had to work hard to become a Level 3 civilization.
Once they reached Level 3, they would be able to roam light-years away like the aliens from Dark Star.
Although hundreds or even tens of millions of light-years was still incredibly far, a short distance of a few light-years should be feasible.
However, their current progress was only the first step in achieving the ability to travel between universes.
The current antimatter spaceship had successfully broken through the shackles of the galaxy and arrived outside the Taal Nebula.
However, it was merely the distance between galaxies. It had not crossed the distance of light-years.
To achieve light-years of travel, they had to put in more effort in antimatter technology.
When necessary, they had to master the technology to use dark matter.
“We still have a heavy task! “Wu Mo shook his head and said with a bitter smile.
To master the use of dark matter was more difficult than he had imagined.
Dark matter was even more elusive and difficult to grasp than antimatter.
Furthermore, the equipment in the system’s store that could capture dark matter was extremely expensive and almost unattainable.
However, once he mastered the usage of dark matter, Wu Mo believed that they would be able to break through their current limitations and become a Level 3 space civilization.
Once the Heavenly Cannon and the Ultimate Power Generation Center were put into use, Wu Mo would purchase a network system.
This network system could upgrade China’s latest command system.
A real network system could record a hundred responses in a single call. As long as the center issued an order, any receiving point could receive it and respond immediately.
With intentional guidance from the command center, the various receiving points could cooperate with each other and feedback more comprehensive information.
On this day, news of the spaceship surpassing the speed of light was reported, and it instantly caused a heated response around the world.
Then, Wu Mo announced his next step to the world via the Chinese media: They would promote a planetary defense plan through the Planetary Alliance.
In this defense plan, several new space-grade weapons would emerge. When they placed these weapons in space, they would make it a live broadcast to increase mankind’s confidence and pride.
People went crazy. At this moment, the whole world went crazy!
Never in their wildest dreams did they expect to witness such a shocking scene in their lives.
