The side that holds the advantage in humanoid armor will certainly gain a significant edge in combat.

It can be said that merely through a single collaboration exercise, the entire trajectory of human future combat was altered, as well as the development directions of many nations and states.

Numerous nations and states began to prioritize humanoid armor, investing substantial resources into the research of related technologies.

From then on, humanoid armor became the hottest topic, and the most concerning issue for all nations and states.

It can be said that this exercise changed many things, and also altered the direction of overall human development.

Perhaps this change was what Jiang Cheng hoped to see; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so attentive to the exercise.

Because Jiang Cheng knew that humanoid armor is indeed the trend of the future, especially the mechas developed based on humanoid armor, which are the primary weapons of the interstellar era.

Mechas can serve as a marker measuring the level of civilization, so Jiang Cheng is, of course, very concerned about this aspect.

Once Jiang Cheng returned to Luo City, he immediately immersed himself in the lab to continue his research work.

This time, his intended research is not related to mechas but other research projects in different fields.

Although mechas are indeed an indicator of a civilization’s development level and are crucial to humanity, it’s not currently the time to research mecha technology.

Although Jiang Cheng also wishes to develop real mechas, instead of these downsized humanoid armors we have now.

However, the current technological conditions cannot meet the requirements, and real mechas remain a distant goal for Jiang Cheng.

Because real mechas involve far too many technologies, most of which humans currently can’t achieve, and not even Jiang Cheng can overcome yet, so he can only wait for the development of human technology.

Thus, Jiang Cheng plans to research something else this time, something equally important to humanity.

”Lucy, help me list the previous checklist; let me see which technologies are yet to be completed.”

Jiang Cheng stood in front of the lab table, speaking to Lucy in the air.

”Okay, Master,” Lucy replied obediently.

Quickly, a light screen appeared in front of Jiang Cheng, displaying a complete technological tree densely packed with various technology projects.

From the results on this technology tree, it seemed to be a technological tree for a large-scale project.

At its top is a model of a large spaceship, which is the final goal of this technological tree.

This is a technological tree related to spaceships, listing all the specific technology projects concerning spacecraft. This spacecraft technological tree was organized by Jiang Cheng a while back.

Since Jiang Cheng cannot manufacture mechas for now, he might as well delve into the matters concerning spaceships.

The technological tree lists the specific technologies required for spaceships; if all of these technologies are developed, Jiang Cheng can create his envisioned spaceship.

Many technologies on this technological tree are already highlighted, indicating that these technologies have been developed.

However, some technologies remain dim, indicating they are yet to be completed.

As seen from this technological tree, many of the spaceship-oriented technologies have been conquered, with most technology names brightly lit and few remaining dim.

Many of the technologies on the technological tree were developed by Jiang Cheng’s research team.

Especially most of the branching technologies, which resulted from the efforts of the technical personnel working under Jiang Cheng.

Looking at the lit names on the technological tree, one can recognize the significant contributions made by this team.

The technology needed for spaceships is countless, and now a large portion of them are completed by them.

Of course, what they accomplished were relatively less challenging technologies; the most difficult core technologies were all addressed personally by Jiang Cheng.

Like the largest core nodes on the technological tree, all the technologies originated from Jiang Cheng’s handiwork.

The gravitational control technology that Jiang Cheng developed a while back holds an essential position on the technological tree, marking an unavoidable core technology.

Now that the gravitational control technology has been highlighted, this signifies Jiang Cheng’s irreplaceable role.

Without Jiang Cheng tackling those extremely challenging core technologies, humans would still not know how many years it would take to build spaceships.

Now, the vast majority of the technological tree’s technologies have been highlighted, leaving only a few core technologies to be completed, and the entire technological tree will be entirely completed.

This suggests that the technology for spaceships is now quite mature. As long as Jiang Cheng conquers the final few core technologies, the construction of spaceships can commence. For this reason, Jiang Cheng focuses on researching this technological tree, preparing to complete the last few core technologies.

Once all technologies are completed, spaceships can truly be realized.

This is the object of Jiang Cheng’s dreams, the realization of his ultimate space plan.

If humanity possesses spaceships, they can roam in space, with efficiencies far surpassing those of rockets.

Jiang Cheng is holding his chin in thought, pondering over the technological tree before him.

”Let’s see which technology is better to research first; the remaining core technologies are all quite challenging, nothing that can be solved in a day or two.”

Originally, Jiang Cheng was figuring out which technology to research first, which is why he had Lucy display the entire spaceship technological tree.

”Better to tackle the issue with the curvature engine first. Although this technology is the toughest, it’s something that must be resolved eventually.”

This is the most critical element for spaceships; without a curvature engine, a spaceship is just a joke.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Cheng finally decided on his next research project, ready to tackle the technology of the curvature engine.

This technology is indispensable in the universe since the curvature engine enables genuine faster-than-light travel.

The universe is indeed vast, and even traveling at the speed of light would require a significant amount of time.

If a spaceship cannot exceed light speed, it loses its practical significance.

Traveling within the solar system is manageable, but attempting to traverse a fixed star system would take excessively long, even at light speed.

Thus, genuinely engaging in space travel necessitates confronting the challenge of surpassing light speed.

A genuine spaceship must at least achieve several times the speed of light.

Otherwise, the time spent on space journeys might have to be counted in centuries.

However, enabling a spaceship to exceed light speed is a very challenging task.

According to the principles of relativity, no object can move faster than light — this is the fundamental axiom of relativity.

The faster an object moves, the more energy required for acceleration — this is a basic tenet of relativity.
