Super Battleship Reborn

Just like gravitational constant and curvature constant, the speed of light c is also constant. Many constants in the universe are like threads, weaving together to form the big net of the universe. In this big net, every silk thread is very important, just like a sweater, as long as one thread end is found and pulled continuously, the sweater can be completely destroyed.

There is also a mathematical logic relationship between constants and constants. Often, one constant can be inferred from another. Just like the gravitational constant, the speed of light can be inferred from the gravitational constant. Therefore, it is impossible to change a single constant. If a constant is changed, it will cause a chain reaction, causing all other constants to be changed, and eventually lead to the destruction of the entire universe.

Or eventually lead to the birth of the universe. One thing is certain, if the constants were changed, then the universe would have evolved to look very different from what it is now, and all current laws of physics would be invalidated.

This question was quickly thought of by the scientists of the Shenzhou civilization, so another scientist asked: Have the other constants been changed?

The scientist who came in to report replied: No, the rest of the constants have not changed. Only the data of the speed of light in vacuum has been changed. Before coming, I have comprehensively analyzed the remaining trillions of data.

The scientist's answer caused an uproar again. This is a very unbelievable thing. The absurdity of this thing is like you originally had two apples, and then someone gave you two more apples, but in the end you only had three apples in total.

This leads to mathematical inconsistencies. Mathematics is the most rigorous natural science, and a little error is not allowed.

Think about it, under the condition that the gravitational constant is fixed, the speed of light calculated from the gravitational constant will be inconsistent with the actual observation? What an absurd thing this is.

Seeing that all the scientists below were discussing, the command hall was in chaos. Ares frowned slightly. He is a politician, not a scientist. He doesn't care about the scientific significance of the fact that the speed of light is changed. He only cares about whether this matter will bring benefits or harm to his own civilization.

Ares looked at Luto, the genius who occupied the seat of chief scientist of Shenzhou Civilization after Xu Junpo's death. Luto, what's going on?

Luto was thinking with his head down. After hearing Ares' voice, Luto shook his head in doubt: I don't know. I have never had such a concept in my mind. In different media, the speed of light is indeed Not the same, for example, the speed of light propagating in hydrogen gas is different from the speed propagating in water. But the speed of each light propagating in each medium is constant, and the speed of light propagating in hydrogen gas is constant. In The speed of propagation in a vacuum is also constant. Frankly, I don't know how this works.

Your guess? Ares asked again.

Luto frowned again, and said: Constants are the basic cornerstone of our universe, and every constant change will cause disastrous consequences. But now it seems that the change of the speed of light has not affected us. Then Based on this, it can be speculated that there is a certain great existence that changed the speed of light. While the speed of light was changed, he used his own power to maintain the rest of the constants. This is the power that involves the most original mystery of the universe. This kind of Power is out of our reach right now.

And... Luto continued thinking: The speed of light has only been changed for a moment and then returned to normal. Our universe has not collapsed, which may have something to do with it. After all, it is only a few hundred thousandths of a second. time is too short.

That is to say, the impact is unknown, and how the incident happened is unknown. What is going on is also unknown. We don't know everything, right? Ares asked.

Frankly, it is, Ruto replied. After all, we are only a sixth-level civilization. There are too many unknowns in the universe. Maybe a super civilization just did such a thing out of boredom—who knows?

Very well, then stop discussing this issue at the scientific level. If the Central Academy of Sciences is interested, you can apply for related topics after the war, and the social committee will allocate relevant resources for your research. Ares said lightly: I need to know why the volume of the neutron battle star changed at that moment just now, and what kind of damage this volume change will cause to the neutron battle star, and whether it will affect our battle situation.

Luto replied: The speed of light is the upper limit of speed. Except for the use of curvature navigation to circumvent the limit of light speed, the speed of any other conventional movement will not be higher than the speed of light. Electromagnetic waves, gravitational fields, etc., are all like this. I speculate that at the moment the speed of light is reduced, the propagation speed of gravitational force is also reduced at the same time. The neutron battle star is mainly dominated by gravitational force to maintain this form of existence. It is precisely because of the change in the propagation speed of gravitational force that it will There is a change in volume. As for the impact...

Luto pondered for a while, and continued: According to the neutron star model, this degree of change has little effect on the neutron star. It's like we are standing on a planet and experiencing a second-order earthquake, except for the psychological fear. The outside world will not be affected in any way. Of course, we may be able to use this influence to achieve some strategic goals, which requires you to plan.

I see. Ares nodded, and put his gaze on the display screen again.

Time is slipping away quietly, and hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye. During this period of time, the scope of the distorted space has been continuously shrinking. The fact that the speed of light was changed was like an episode, and it didn't have much impact on the battle between the two civilizations. After the neutron battle star left the distorted space, he also seemed to realize that the change in the speed of light was just an accidental event, so he continued to attack the distorted space after a slight adjustment.

The situation of Shenzhou civilization is not very good. In fact, being able to support it until now is already thanks to Ares' outstanding command ability. If there are the same resources, Xiao Yu may not be able to do as well as Ares when Xiao Yu is allowed to command and fight against the sweeper civilization.

The neutron battle star once again violently rushed into the twisted space. One year, two years, a full hundred years have passed, and the neutron battle star has not been sent out again by the Shenzhou civilization. The transformation of the distorted space has been so fast that it is dizzying, and various lights and shadows are changing very quickly, but it still cannot cause too obvious influence on the neutron battle star.

The neutron battle star has been advancing slowly, and every time it advances, pieces of space will be shattered like glass, and then they will be swept away by the violent space turbulence and disappear. At this time, no conventional warship can approach the neutron battle star. Any conventional warship that tries to approach here will be torn apart by the berserk space. Even star-class warships cannot withstand the berserk energy here.

Even the neutron battle star is constantly getting hurt. A large amount of debris was stripped from the neutron battle star, and the amount of gas formed by these stripped debris was so large that even the violent space energy couldn't disperse it in a short time. The radiation of the neutron battle star became more and more intense, to the point that it had begun to rotate slowly and was constantly accelerating.

It moved forward a little bit again. Just this distance has already caused earth-shaking changes. It was as if the curtain on the stage was suddenly closed, and all the scenes behind the curtain appeared in front of it at a glance.

The fragmented space and the ever-changing broken light and shadow all disappeared suddenly at this moment, and the universe became clear again. Ahead, a tractor spaceship is suspended in the void, thousands of huge space gates are suspended in the universe, and a large number of spaceships are constantly entering and leaving these space gates.

The distorted space has been completely breached by the neutron battle star. From this moment on, the Shenzhou civilization and the ruins of the seventh-level civilization in this travel direction have been exposed to the neutron battle star and the sweeper civilization without protection.

In the command room, Ares' face was pale. He knew that even though he had fought hard for so long, he had failed in the end. Being able to persist for so long under the attack of the neutron battle star, even with the help of the distorted space of the seventh-level civilization, is something to be proud of, but this is an era in which heroes are judged by success or failure, no matter how powerful Ares is. Outstanding, how much effort he put in, his final result was failure, and this alone was enough to obliterate his achievements.

Do you want me to see the situation where the fifth-level civilization alliance collapsed under the attack of the Shenzhou civilization again? Is the Shenzhou civilization going to be like a fifth-level civilization alliance, and finally destroyed in my hands?

Xiao Yu, I'm sorry, you handed over the Shenzhou civilization to me, but I failed to make the Shenzhou civilization flourish. Ares murmured.

At this time, in the distance of this space, a strange flash suddenly appeared. This flash was like a flame of hope, and it was expanding rapidly from the moment it appeared. At this time, the neutron battle star also stopped moving. Ares sensed a bit of solemnity from the actions of the neutron battle star.

Back to the Small Magellanic Cloud galaxy more than 600 years ago.

Finally arrived at the Small Magellanic Cloud Galaxy, and we can start relevant experiments to impact the seventh-level civilization... Xiao Yu sighed. (to be continued..)
