Voyage of the Stars

"Don't you already have the answer? I saw that there are relevant records in your database. Oh. Sorry, I didn't mean to look at your database. It's just that your encryption technology is too backward. Don't worry, I don't have it. The habit of voyeurism.”

The rhombus crystal seemed quite polite, but what he said made everyone call him a good guy.

Some people were still immersed in the shock of the failure of quantum long-distance communication. Just when they came back to their senses, they heard the words "The rhombus crystal is coming", and instantly felt that human beings were completely transparent in front of it.

"We have records, how come we don't know?" At this time, Yue Yuan asked again.

"This." The rhombus crystal didn't talk nonsense and directly pulled a piece of stored information recorded in the Tianqin database onto the screen for everyone to see.

"A star older than the age of the universe? Is this true?"

This piece of information records a star that was observed by humans that is over 13.8 billion years old. At first, humans thought that there might be two reasons. One was that the observation results were wrong, and the other was that the calculation of the age of the universe was wrong. For this reason, there are The theory is that the true age of the universe is actually 26.7 billion years.

"Yes, it's not that your observations are wrong, nor that the calculation of the age of the universe is wrong, but the result of a change in some rules. I don't know the specifics, but there is no doubt that there must be something hidden behind this strange phenomenon. There is some kind of danger, it may be a danger that even we must avoid," Rhomboid Crystal said.

Yue Yuan looked at the diamond-shaped crystal with eager eyes, and asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time: "Why don't you think like other existences, because our human civilization is too weak, or the development of civilization is diverse?" Because you choose not to tell us some things, don’t you think the news you said will affect our future development?”

"Haha, you are talking about the awakeners recorded in your database. I don't know why they didn't tell you about the Great Voyage. Maybe they have different ideas." The rhombus crystal did not give an accurate answer, and it continued: "In my opinion, if you can activate my mechanism, it proves that your human civilization meets the standards of our civilization. As part of the drift bottle plan, of course I will tell you all. In fact, if it hadn't been for too long, Some of my stored information is lost, and I don’t mind telling you the destination of our civilization’s original voyage.”

"But these are not big problems. When you reach a certain height, I believe you will know why and the destination of the Great Voyage. Because, after you reach a certain height, you will discover the same as we did. A hopeless future."

It took a lot of effort to have such a knowing person. Yue Yuan definitely didn’t want to miss the opportunity. He thought for a while and said again: "You keep talking about a hopeless future. Can you tell us what it is? Is it a plan set up by a cosmic civilization? Shackles to stop all civilizations from reaching the interstellar level?”

The rhombus crystal is also unambiguous: "As for the question of whether the shackles are caused by our civilization at the cosmic level, our civilization has also thought about this question, but unfortunately, we do not have an answer. As for the discovery of a desperate future, I think interstellar civilization .Oh, perhaps it is more accurate to use the new generation's classification of six-level civilization. Everyone in the sixth-level civilization should find it, so it is not a secret.

In fact, your human civilization itself has relevant theories. Although it is very difficult to understand how you discovered it, I have to say that some of your human civilization’s theories are indeed far beyond your level of development. Although many theoretical knowledge is only superficial, it still has some superficial knowledge. You did see it.

You know, at least those civilizations three billion years ago, some of them have reached the level of interstellar civilization but have not discovered relevant theories or phenomena, but you have discovered various theories at a stage where you have not even reached the level of first-level civilization. , although there are mostly fantasy elements, it is undeniable that you are really amazing.

In contrast, compared to the few words you have about the scientific and technological theories of aerospace-level civilization, your involvement in the relevant symbolic scientific theories at the fifth-level and sixth-level civilization levels is very lacking. I have to say that this is an interesting phenomenon. "

"Can you be more specific?" Yue Yuan couldn't help but asked, sounding confused.

"In your words, it's called the Casimir effect." The rhombus crystal was now crisp, but it also made the scientists present a little confused.

What?

Casimir effect!

The scientist who reacted immediately said: "You mean vacuum energy?"

"Yes, vacuum zero point energy." said the rhombus crystal.

ah? !

Is vacuum zero-point energy? In fact, human scientists have always had a guess about vacuum zero-point energy. They thought that vacuum zero-point energy was the hallmark technology of level six civilization, but now the rhombus crystal says it is not.

"That is the basis for civilization to truly create infinite energy devices. It is the necessary technology for civilization to travel the universe. We saw the direction, but desperately found that we can never master it. All experiments on it will not have the correct answer. All six Super civilizations are blocked at this hurdle.”

Rhomboid Crystal continued: “Only by mastering these technologies, cosmic civilization can continuously absorb energy from the void, thereby ignoring the fact that galaxies see a lack of matter, and truly possessing the ability to navigate on the cosmic scale.

In fact, the sixth-level civilization does not have the ability to sail across the river system, but we have no other choice but to bite the bullet and embark on a long voyage, because if we do not sail far, the final result will definitely stop at the sixth level, and eventually we will inevitably Over time, the river system became extinct due to the lack of resources.

But to travel across the river system, you must master the vacuum zero-point energy, and if you want to master the vacuum zero-point energy, you must stay away from the river system and go to the unknown voyage destination to have a glimmer of hope. This is like..."

Just like crossing a river requires a boat, but the boat can only be obtained after crossing the river. It is a completely endless cycle.

After hearing what the rhombus crystal said, everyone present probably knew what the Great Voyage was. It was a way that a group of civilizations trapped in the river system thought might be promoted to a cosmic-level civilization.

The billion years of exploration by the pioneers have shown everything, this is the only way. Of course, this so-called only path may be wrong, and the answer may not be found, but those who question it should first be prepared to explore the river system for a billion years.

"You said that our scientific theories related to the symbols at the fifth-level and sixth-level civilization levels are very lacking. May I ask what the standard scientific and technological theories of these two levels of civilization are?" a scientist asked curiously.

"The former is a technology tree related to negative matter and negative energy, and the latter is a technology tree related to dark matter and dark energy." Diamond Crystal said.

Although these words are very general, they undoubtedly point the direction for mankind, and at the same time, they also make many scientists think deeply.
