I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 1554

Chapter 1554 - Gravity Belt

As the Third General Meeting of the Earth Defense Alliance came to a conclusion, two Seagull-class transport ships set off from Celestial City.

The entire project would take five years to complete. During these five years, a steady stream of supplies would be exported from Celestial City to Europa. In order to save time and cost, Celestial Trade decided to extend the Interstellar Highway from Mars and towards the Europa system first.

At the same time, with the release of relevant information about “Golovins”, the word extraterrestrial civilization once again became the center of discussion.

Apart from this name, people did not know anything else about the “Golovins”. There were rumors that they looked like humans, with one head and two legs. There were also rumors that their actual body size was huge and they looked like the giant octopus in the “Europa Report”. They lived under the ice cap of Europa all year round, used the radio waves emitted from Earth to decipher the human language, and used holographic images to pretend to be humans to deceive the countries on Earth…

Their imagination was indeed very creative to the point where Jiang Chen praised these netizens’ ideas. However, just like his previous decision, Celestial Trade did not clarify these rumors but instead allowed them to ferment in disorder.

Even with these groundless conjectures, they gradually changed from pure curiosity to suspicion and even hostility towards extraterrestrial civilization.

Only when people were afraid of the outside world, would they think about whether to work as a collective.

A week had passed since the Seagull-class transport ships began to build the road to Jupiter. According to the original promise, Golovin sent some of the technologies to Earth, and this part of the technologies was mainly related to gravitons and the gravitational field.

The technologies were not as valuable to Celestial Trade and were only considered as supplements to some of the deficiencies in these two directions by the Gaia civilization. However, for other members of the Earth Defense Alliance, the preciousness of these materials was extraordinary.

Take Hua as an example. The Hua Academy of Sciences took the lead almost immediately after they received the information. The research was distributed to research units of all levels involved in projects related to the research.

However, the result was not promising.

Because of the lack of reference, the plain technical data was extremely difficult to digest due to the large gaps in knowledge. Even in the hands of the most established scholars and researchers in the field, the data was pretty much useless.

The same thing happened to Russia. Golovins’ papers on gravitons were like science fiction in the eyes of the professors at the Russian Academy of Sciences. Because they could not even observe gravitons normally, it was next to impossible to record the parameters of gravitons. After all, at the forefront of physics, gravitons existed as hypothetical particles that transmit gravity.

It was like getting Watt from the eighteenth century to understand the alternating current from the end of the nineteenth century. There was no way to understand something invisible, and it was the problem that scientists from all over the world shared.

Many data were just summarized on paper, but for scientists on Earth, it was necessary to repeat the experiment step by step to verify it.

It was conservatively estimated that it would take several years to digest this information. After all, Golovin did not provide “Flowers of Memory” that directly instilled knowledge, but only hundreds of terabytes of electronic files.

In the next five years, Golovin would continue to provide Earth with technologies to increase its pace of development.

Interestingly, it was after seeing these materials that the senior officials of different countries began to wake up from the euphoria of “cruising at the Kuiper Belt”. They realized the gap between themselves and extraterrestrial civilizations.

At the Future Building, in the lab on the first basement level, Dr. Amos showed Jiang Chen his latest research.

Jiang Chen picked up the belt-like thing from the table, fiddled with the button in the middle, asked Amos while he examined the dial that looked like a pressure gauge.

“What is this?”

“Gravity belt.”

“Gravity… belt?” Surprised by the response, Jiang Chen cast a look of curiosity on Amos, “How is this used?”

“Just wear it on your body like a belt,” Amos said with a smile.

At the prompt of Amos, Jiang Chen tied the belt around his waist and then turned on the button hidden on the back of the belt. As the switch was turned on, he noticed that in the dial like a pressure gauge, the pointer began to vibrate slightly, and finally, it was fixed in the middle.

After he examined it closely, the end of the pointer had a small number “1” written on it.

“The center of the pointer represents 1G gravity, that is, the gravity of Earth. Correspondingly, pointing to 2 represents 2G, which represents twice the gravity. By analogy, this gravity belt can reach a minimum of 0.1G and a maximum of 3G gravity…”

Just as Dr. Amos explained the function of this gravity belt to Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen had already started following the steps in the manual, rotating the dial, and aligning the silver arrow at the 0.5G position.

With a slight hum, the pointer on the dial began to shake violently, and finally, the pointer stopped at the position of the silver arrow, and Jiang Chen’s eyes widened with the feeling coming from under his feet.

The stress point did not come from his waist, but from every part of the body.

It was like every cell in his body became lighter.

“How does this work?” Jiang Chen was surprised when he adjusted the gravity index back to the standard value.

“By interfering with the gravitons, the gravity is affected. The specific is very hard to explain and involves a lot of technical terms,” Dr. Amos shrugged and laughed, “Anyway, you just need to know that with this belt, our astronauts can walk normally on the starship.”

The application was not helpful on the starship, but it also solved the health problems of the colonists in outer space.

If humans were in a low-gravity environment for a long time, it had a considerable impact on their health. Among all the health-related problems, osteoporosis was enough to kill mammals. Otherwise, Celestial Trade did not need to specifically build a large bowl-shaped building that rotated to generate simulated gravity on Lunar and Heavenly Palace City, in order to provide health services for the residents in colonies.

“You have digested Golovins’ technology that quickly?” Jiang Chen asked Amos in shock.

In his impression, the electronic files of the data related to gravity field and graviton from the Golovins were several hundred terabytes. Although they contained a lot of holographic diagrams, even the amount of text was not a small number.

Even if someone could read ten lines at once, it would take at least two weeks to finish glancing through the files.

Ruins stretched across the landscape in the apocalypse after the nuclear war.

If you accidentally survived on the wasteland, then you must be ready to face the endless hunger, ceaseless dangers, the mad zombies at night, and the peculiar mutant creatures that are the aftermaths of the constant radiation.

But for Jiang Chen, this place was heaven.

Mansions stood tall, luxurious cars parked on the street, high tech products and gold abandoned everywhere.

What? You were the president of a game development company before the war? You were responsible for the development of the 3D virtual reality online multiplayer game? Well, that’s great, why don’t you come work for me. The salary is two pieces of bread a day.

iPhone? Ultra thin design? Don’t you see that the phone I invented are thinner than condoms?

Aircraft carrier? Fighter jets? Oh, I have those things as well, but they are designed for space combat.

Watch the story of Jiang Chen, who possessed the ability to travel through space and time, as he witness the creation of an empire stretched across space and time..
