Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones-Chapter 312: YC Draco

Through this continuous and dedicated research, Tom finally fully digested and absorbed the scientific and technological data accumulated over thousands, even tens of thousands of years from the Havilah Civilization and the Black Mountain Civilization within 400 years.

Furthermore, the collision and integration of his own technological system with two external technological systems has allowed Tom to go a step further, reaching a level that surpasses any of the previous three.

This even gave Tom a glimpse into the direction of the next major stage of civilization advancement.

The unification of different fundamental forces is the sole criterion for measuring the level of civilization.

The unification of electricity and magnetism is the beginning of electromagnetic civilization.

The unification of electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces constitutes the Electroweak Civilization.

The unification of electroweak force and Strong Nuclear Force constitutes Strong Nuclear Civilization.

Now, based on the collision and integration of the three major civilizations’ technological systems, Tom has finally developed a vague, general, and directional idea about how to unify gravity.

Gravity is the most unique of the four fundamental forces.

Even now, Tom can only use a single theory to describe gravity, while the other three fundamental forces use a different theory.

Imagine a field of potato with four potatoes. If you manage them using the usual methods, three of them will grow well, but the last one will wither and turn black.

We’re all potatoes, so why are you so special? Why can’t you grow properly?

Having no other choice, Tom had to develop a completely different planting method for this last white seed so that it could continue to grow.

But why is this last potato so special? Why does it have to be treated differently?

Tom originally didn’t know. But now, he had a vague idea.

"Perhaps, compared to the other three fundamental forces, gravity is more fundamental..."

If we consider the other three fundamental forces as stainless steel basins, bowls, and cups, unifying them is equivalent to finding their raw materials, that is, recognizing that no matter how the basins, bowls, or cups change in shape, they are essentially stainless steel, then gravity might be "iron".

It is more fundamental, closer to the origin, which is why it is so special.

But at this point, it’s just a conjecture and speculation. To truly implement it and unify it, Tom needs to make further progress in the fields of mathematics and fundamental physics.

This will be possible only if more mathematical tools are found and more theories are developed.

This is not something that can be accomplished overnight; it can be done gradually. Now that he has finished digesting and absorbing all the technological data from the two great civilizations, Tom has another task that he can do immediately.

The real application of these technologies is to transform them into combat power and industrial capabilities!

In this vast void, Tom decided to carry out a complete upgrade and transformation of his fleet!

All the spaceships, whether aerospace carriers or small warships, whether transport ships or industrial ships, all of them, every single one of them, were to be scrapped and rebuilt, not one left!

Replace them all with new spaceships!

These new spacecraft will be equipped with variable energy shields, ultra-high-speed ion thrusters, combined high-efficiency fusion engines, new Strong Nuclear armor, a completely redesigned overall structure, and so on, completely new spacecraft unlike any before!

With the massive resources of "Flying Star" at its disposal, and relying on hundreds of giant aerospace carriers and thousands of industrial ships, a massive industrial construction operation was launched.

One after another, warships that were extremely valuable to the vast majority of Strong Nuclear Civilizations, which had never even seen a single battle, were dismantled by Tom without hesitation.

Everything that could be recycled was melted down in the furnace. Anything that couldn’t be recycled was temporarily stored in a junk ship, to be thrown into a star at the right time to completely destroy all traces.

On one hand, spaceships of all sizes were being destroyed, while on the other hand, new spaceships were being born in an endless stream.

After working for hundreds of years, Tom finally completed this task.

At this moment, apart from some junk spaceships, Tom has upgraded all the spaceships, whether warships, civilian ships, or even those giant habitation spaceships.

The massive Flying Star has now shrunk to a radius of only 80 kilometers, and its mass has shrunk by more than 80% compared to before.

After setting the trajectory of the junk ship and allowing it to leave the fleet under the control of the intelligent program and fly towards a nearby star, Tom finally issued a long-awaited order. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Fleet... accelerate!"

Thus, at its original speed of 55% of the speed of light, Tom’s massive fleet began to accelerate once again.

The acceleration reached 0.8 m/s^2

At this acceleration, the fleet took a full three years to come to a stop.

At this moment, the fleet’s speed has reached 80% of the speed of light, 240,000 kilometers per second!

Even the previous Mechanical Disaster did not reach such a high speed.

At such high speeds, in addition to the changes in star color caused by the redshift and blueshift effects, Tom also clearly perceived another change.

The time dilation effect is becoming increasingly apparent.

After a simple calculation, Tom knew that the ratio of the flow of time inside the fleet to the flow of time outside had reached approximately 1:1.6.

That is, about 100 minutes have passed outside, while only 60 minutes have passed inside the fleet.

These profound physical laws were presented to Tom in such an intuitive way.

Looking into the distance, one after another slightly blue star shines brightly.

With the help of a telescope, Tom was able to find the star that was too faint to be seen with the naked eye.

That’s the Sun.

At this moment, after a long journey through the vast expanse of time, Tom is now more than 900 light-years away from the Sun, and the distance is still increasing.

Ahead, another yellowish-white star is already visible to the naked eye, about 100 light-years away.

That star is designated YC Draco in Tom’s star catalog.

At the same time, it has another identity.

That is, The Purple Moon Civilization testing ground.

It was there that the Purple Moon Civilization conducted a series of humiliating and brutal experiments on his fellow Electric Disasters, which the Electric Disasters described as such, leading to its intense hostility toward orthodox intelligent civilizations.

The Havilah Civilization also secretly "stole" the Electric Disaster on the edge of that system, which triggered a series of subsequent events.

Now, Tom has also come here.

He hopes to find clues here that the Purple Moon Civilization might have left behind, and thus further determine the whereabouts of the Purple Moon Civilization.
