11 Rolands Public Lecture Part 2 (2/2)

Newton nodded subconsciously. ”It needed a specialized material. If not, this might not work.” He whispered to himself regretfully. Is migrating through space will just happens in his dreams? He wondered.

The immortal king paused again.

[He was quite melodramatic, I must say.] Newton commented amusingly in his heart.

What came next from His Majesty's mouth was music to Newton's ears.

This erudite immortal king begun to introduce a series of special materials, which he termed as exotic matter to the audience. These materials were not composed of baryon, as opposed to other normally occurring matter. The most astonishing of all, these materials exuded negative energy; when applying positive forward force on this particular matter, it will produce an acceleration on the opposite direction. This characteristic was ideal for initiating the 'warping effect' of space-time according to the equations.

The benevolent immortal king even painstakingly explained in detail about the negative mass and complex mass along with dark matter, antimatter and mirror matter to enrich the masses of the new kind of knowledge; an innovative way of viewing physics.

Newton glanced around the hall to see familiar faces showing signs of comprehension similar to him. Professor Rogers from a few seats away noticed him and gave him a congratulatory nod. They both understood that they had managed to gain enlightenment and inspiration from this public lecture.

”To date, I could not say there is an exotic matter present naturally. However, our team of experts have found a way to artificially create one.” The next statement by the immortal king finally made everyone behaved like people being injected by chicken blood. Surprise exclamations were heard from the crowd everywhere and it became noisy again.

The immortal king gestured them to calm down.

Newton didn't hear anything else anymore.

He planned to immediately apply to join the research team responsible for building the Warp Drive after the lecture was over.

He knew his inspiration right now will definitely contribute substantially towards the device's development.

...

Roland was feeling hopeful when he looked at the crowd.

He could see unfeigned understanding from various faces, especially the older ones. He felt extremely gratified and proud.

The empire he built with his own two hands has truly come far.

He continued, ”Let's talk about the second option present for space migration.”

”Another way to travel across the universe is by making a teleportation device, the Interstellar Gate. It has the effect of making an artificial wormhole which links two separate points in spacetime. This needed more work. However, the basis of powering up the portal similarly might fall on the same exotic matter discussed earlier.”

”I believe there is no need to start from scratch for this technology. Although we might not have background knowledge on this matter, we already have a lead for this technology. The team main responsibility will be to research how to utilize this gate including the energy mechanism. I have a feeling that the same theory will greatly help our research in this area”

”So, hope is not lost, everyone!” Roland increased his volume, exuding a confident stance. He knew, how he viewed things will affect the mindset of the masses.

”Both methods are potentially possible, but needed time to be realized, which we're lack of. So we must substitute it with human resource. You all.” He gestured to everyone present.

”We needed the help of all of you to make this a reality. Let's work together to make the survival of the inhabitants of this planet possible. If you think you could and should contribute, please join the teams that you're interested in to make it a reality.”

As Roland stepped down from the podium, a thunderous clap were heard.

The professionals of Graycastle stood up from their seats and saluted Roland reverently. Everyone's gaze was filled with hope and positivity.

A standing ovation ensued.
