Chapter 258 Where does the mobility come from?

The name "Amir's Mobile VII" itself reveals that the essence of this maneuver is "mobility".

In other words, it is a series of actions that involve controlling the body of a mech to carry out actions and ultimately achieve tactical objectives.

The entire process may place certain requirements on the mecha equipment, such as reaching a certain strength, but the core lies in the control by the mecha pilot.

Then the problem is coming.

The first form, the leaping swing, can be practiced using the Iron Mountain Lean technique, but how is the second form, a movement linked to the timeline, performed by the physical body?

Even if you shook his brains to even them out, it wouldn't be enough to shatter the void or affect the timeline.
Therefore, Gu Wei was genuinely puzzled and curious.

"how to say"

The instructor seemed to have anticipated Gu Wei's questions and began speaking without hesitation: "First of all, the second maneuver definitely has some requirements for the mecha equipment—but these requirements don't refer to rare and expensive custom-made equipment, but rather to modules whose parameters meet the baseline of the maneuver."

"This set of actions involves a total of thirteen modules. Generally speaking, the sixth generation and later mechs are basically equipped with them by default, while the earlier generation can be modified by spending some money. The price is not too high, and there is no situation where modification is not possible due to generation difference."

Gu Wei nodded slightly.

He believed that.

Of course.

They didn't trust the instructors, but rather their own captain.

After all, given that stingy old man's nature, if the modification modules were really expensive, he obviously wouldn't let him practice Amir's Seventh Form—Milo had said he would cover all the costs.
Meanwhile, the instructor, unaware of Gu Wei's inner thoughts, continued his explanation: "Once the equipment conditions are met, the remaining part is the pilot's operation—this step is called virtual axis collapse, which you can understand as collapsing the timeline and 'pulling' it into reality."

"One of the essential aspects of virtual axis collapse is that it still requires energy. This energy is either a pre-set energy pack that you store inside the mech before the battle, or it is the power borrowed from the surrounding environment."

"Taking the battlefield just now as an example, where do you think the Zero Element Mech's power comes from?"

Gu Wei's mind raced.

As a super-level mech that has been on the list, the Zero Element Mech must have a backup of its pre-set energy pack, but the situation at the time clearly made it impossible to activate it.

at the same time.

This energy is definitely not the fluctuation energy of the nearby system—because this fluctuation energy is used to generate the seven projections.

In other words...
The only ones left for the mech pilots to use are those from this universe.
Think of this.

Gu Wei stroked his chin thoughtfully: "Could it be spacetime tension?"

"Congratulations, you got it right," the instructor snapped his fingers in satisfaction, and then demonstrated with his other fist: "It's like when you punch a stone in the sand, the stone will absorb the impact from your fist, and at the same time, the idiots around the stone will also exert a reaction force on the stone."

“And unlike the fluctuations in the adjacent system, the activity level of this spacetime tension is extremely high; simply put, it is exceptionally proactive.” Gu Wei nodded again.

This is also easy to understand.

Imagine a robber suddenly breaking into your house. You would obviously be very cooperative with the police officer in the hat who follows you. It might be a little difficult to do it yourself, but you would definitely offer all kinds of help within your power, or you would wholeheartedly support the police officer's idea of ​​breaking into the next room through the window to catch the thief.

This is what the instructors call initiative.

Then the instructor clenched his right fist and made a gesture similar to adjusting a car gear in front of him: "The pilot of the Zero Element Mech performed the virtual axis collapse when the spacetime tension was about to reach its maximum critical point. The specific steps were to push the power control lever forward three times at a specific frequency to fully expand the heat dissipation grille and synchronize its working frequency with the energy wave that was about to erupt."

"Then the knee hydraulic rod is compressed to its limit, causing the leg thrusters to spray in reverse to form a ring-shaped vortex. The body completes more than 125 symmetrical vibrations in a very short time, generally within 0.05 seconds, through the spatiotemporal tension."

"This level of tremor can release instantaneous spatial energy with an intensity greater than 10J, generating a large amount of degenerate neutron flux in the surroundings, which eventually causes temporal probability amplitude fluctuations, causing the probability cloud to collapse into a physical projection on the time axis."

Space and time.

These are two enduring topics or research directions in physics throughout human history.

Even the word "universe" itself is related to time and space—the word "universe" comes from the Warring States period book "Shizi," which mentions that "the four directions and the up and down are called Yu, and the past and present are called Zhou."

Up to the point before Gu Wei's time travel.

The physics community on Earth has made some progress in the study of space. Although it is far from being a basic understanding, the general outline has been established.

For example, quantum teleportation can now be achieved between chips within a 12.3-kilometer optical fiber.

For example, in the study of wave-particle duality of matter, the physics community has now achieved double-slit interference with a small peptide with a molecular weight of 5674 without impairing its biological activity. (Note: I must once again marvel at the progress of the scientific community. When I wrote this 23 years ago, we had only completed the experiment on a short bacitracin with a molecular weight of 1886. Now, that has tripled.)

These can all be seen as achievements of space research, and they are all on the right track.

However, the research on another topic, namely time, seems somewhat lacking.

Still taking the time before Gu Wei's time travel as the starting point, the only thing that could be loosely connected between the physics community and time was the response experiment of indium tin oxide, or ITO, and in reality, it was mostly just a gimmick to hype up the stock price—Gu Ge's people claimed that this thing was an ideal candidate material for time crystals.
However, despite the limited practical results, one theory is still considered a near-universal theory in the physics community.

That is.
Excessive gravity can slow down time.

In other words, the smaller the gravitational potential, the slower time passes.

This theory comes from Einstein's theory of general relativity, and the physics community has basically confirmed this point. In 2022, Boswell's team conducted an experiment using ultracold strontium to measure the time difference between two positions with a height difference of only millimeters. This time dilation effect is exactly what gravitational redshift is.

虽然只有0.0000000000000000001的差异，但它是可测量的，也是人类对时间膨胀进行过的最精确的实验。（doi.org/10.1038/s41586-021-04349-7）

However, limited by Earth's technological capabilities, those physicists could only verify the accuracy of theories; accessing the timeline was extremely difficult.
In other words...
The starting stance of Amir's second maneuver also utilizes changes in gravity to activate or stretch the time axis.
