Voyage of the Stars

Technology trees related to negative matter and negative energy, technology trees related to dark matter and dark energy!

Everyone present deeply remembered the short sentence of the rhombus crystal in their hearts. After learning about the classification of low-level civilization levels from encountering the Silver Mist Consciousness Body, mankind finally got information about the classification of civilization levels again.

For a developing civilization like humankind, this kind of news is extremely precious.

Although for today's humans, the two related technology trees mentioned by the rhombus crystal are like science fiction, no different from listening to the heavenly book, but at least we have a concept.

"Dark matter-related technologies are so rich in dark matter. Is it still extremely difficult for a sixth-level civilization that has mastered dark matter technology to conduct long-distance voyages?" A scientist said with emotion. As he spoke, his eyes began to blur, as if his thoughts had wandered across the vast sea of ​​​​stars and the boundless universe. .

With today's human navigation technology, it would take decades to run from one star to another. If you want to search a star field covering hundreds of light-years, even a thousand years would not be enough.

Imagine how vast it is to be one hundred thousand light-years across the Milky Way, and the millions of light-years across the river system are even more astronomical. It is hard to imagine what the Great Voyage was like.

Everyone here remembers the first time they met the Awakener. When the Awakener brought humans to this star field, the strong artificial intelligence "Invincible Great Sword" on the battleship said that the battleship's sailing speed was 213.75 times the speed of light.

At this time, the voice of the rhombus crystal sounded again: "You think the Great Voyage is too simple, you think the voyage of the Kua River System is too simple. Well, I can't blame you. After all, you understand dark matter and are related to dark matter." It can be said that we know nothing about science and technology. It is true that dark matter is extremely abundant. It is almost everywhere, but only almost in our cognitive area, not in the entire universe.”

Just like the dangerous star areas of the Milky Way marked in some star maps.

Nearly ten thousand years, although a long time, should be nothing to a sixth-level civilization. After all, even humans today can live more than ten thousand years. But things can't be that simple. As the rhombus crystal said, level six civilizations simply do not have the ability to sail on a cosmic scale, so embarking on a great voyage is a last resort.

The Great Voyage is not the Milky Way. Some star maps in the Milky Way are marked with information such as dangerous star fields. They are only marked because the civilization of the Milky Way has explored them. However, no one can draw a star map for you during the Great Voyage, because none of the civilizations that went out came back. Even if the pioneers explored it, they would not be able to tell the new generation civilizations in the galaxy.

"For newly born intelligent beings, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult for them to cross from one island to another, from one continent to another. From the birth of intelligence to the time when they can cross the ocean, it will even take millions of years. To accomplish such a feat.

But, if the information currently known to mankind is correct, then it seems that the six-level civilizations in the Milky Way that have appeared in the broadcast are still fighting each other, and want to take away all the advanced civilizations in the Milky Way. This state is definitely not possible.

It is very likely that there are some places that have been attacked by some rules and become a dangerous area just like the rules of quantum long-distance communication mentioned by the rhombus crystal have been modified.

Disasters, both natural and man-made, may occur.

In other words, there is a high probability that the awakener is a civilization that is on a great voyage.

The Awakeners also bluntly said that without the ruins of a miraculous civilization, it would not be so easy for them to reach the Milky Way. This shows that the Great Voyage is not just as simple as the distance, but there are also many dangers in the void. The dark universe without stars is not as peaceful as people see when they look up at the stars.

If other factors are not considered, the time it would take to cross from the Milky Way to the Andromeda Galaxy at this speed would be approximately 9,345 years.

Suddenly, Yue Yuan's heart moved, but he thought of those sixth-level civilizations in the Milky Way that he heard on the radio.

It is a route that is completely searched for in the dark. In this case, the risk of straying into a dangerous area and leading to the demise of civilization is much greater.

The Milky Way has the Pioneers, and the Triangulum Galaxy has the Awakeners, but what about other galaxies? Any sixth-level civilization that discovers the reality of despair may embark on a great voyage.

There are awakeners in the Triangulum Galaxy who have come to the Milky Way. So, as the two satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, will there also be civilizations coming to the Milky Way? What about the Andromeda Galaxy? If the civilization there wants to embark on a great voyage, will they come to the Milky Way first, or will they leave directly from a certain route and head to the unknown front?

It’s hard to say what the civilization of the Andromeda Galaxy is, but the civilizations of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, if they want to go on a long voyage, they would probably choose the nearest Milky Way as their first stop. I don’t know if there are places as small as the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. There is no powerful level six civilization that is qualified to carry out the Great Voyage.

"It's a pity that part of the information in the rhombus crystal was lost, otherwise humans would now know the destination of the Great Voyage, or at least the destination of the pioneers," Yue Yuanxin said.

Could it be that the sixth-level civilizations in the galaxy formed an alliance or organization for this reason? But why don’t the Reapers form an alliance or organization?

What's more, smart people have long thought that the danger must not only be in the dangerous areas in these dangerous speculations, but also in other civilizations, or other civilizations that have made great voyages.

No matter what, looking at it this way, during the Great Voyage, the so-called danger will definitely be this: encountering civilizations in other river systems.

Everyone here is not stupid. If they had only come into contact with rhombus crystals, they might not have thought of this, but before that, humans had encountered awakeners, and the awakeners happened to come from outside the galaxy.

The great voyage started by the pioneers took away almost all interstellar civilizations, leaving a window for civilization development in the galaxy. Maybe this voyage will be the same, and those six-level civilizations may also do the same. This move will take away the advanced civilization of the entire galaxy.

Yue Yuan estimated that the Milky Way would only work if it had only one powerful voice, just like the pioneers at that time. From the information told by the rhombus crystal, we can know that three billion years ago, the pioneers had absolute say in including almost all advanced civilizations in the galaxy into the Great Voyage.

What a great voyage! He sighed inwardly.

Three billion years have passed, and the new generation civilization of the Milky Way will set sail again, but we don’t know whether humans will be able to catch up with this great voyage by then.

These great voyage civilizations are like fleets belonging to different forces on the sea. When the two meet, a war may break out if they are not careful.

For primitive civilizations that have not yet mastered controllable nuclear fusion, they look up at the starry sky and see that the planets in their main sequence stars are isolated islands in the starry sky. But for low-level civilizations, the bright stars in the starry sky are not the same. Isolated islands?

Similarly, every river system that is often millions of light-years apart is as difficult to cross for a Level 6 civilization as isolated islands in the galaxy that are vastly apart. Things like the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way are pretty good, but if it’s the kind of galaxy where the two have relative speeds, it’s even more difficult.”
