It was not until this time that Yang Yi had enough understanding of the situation of human civilization in the second era.
In the late Second Era, hundreds of years before the "destroying catastrophe", mankind had learned enough about other star systems, and even knew that there were intelligent civilizations in the Southern Alpha Galaxy. Only limited by the long distance, human beings cannot smoothly cross the barriers between star systems, at least they cannot guarantee that they can reach other star systems smoothly and in time, so they did not march to other star systems. However, mankind has not given up the idea of going to other star systems, and has been working hard for it, that is, exploring and searching for technologies and methods for crossing star systems and navigating across star systems, and has made various attempts.
Of course, it was these attempts that led to subsequent disasters.
However, when the disaster was predicted to happen, some scientists, including Yu Tingxuan, realized that humans and other civilizations of the Galaxy Alliance might be forced to leave the galaxy and go to other star systems. Leaving aside whether it can succeed or not, after reaching other star systems, it will inevitably conflict with local indigenous civilizations. If war is unavoidable and cannot coexist peacefully with indigenous civilizations, then you must be prepared for war, and you must bring advanced weapons that can defeat indigenous civilizations. It is precisely in consideration of these factors that in the preparation stage, human scientists equipped the fugitive spacecraft with weapons and brought all the spacecraft with human scientific and technological materials.
It can be said that human scientists have prepared for the worst.
The problem is that people are not as good as heaven.
"Although before we set off, we already knew that the Southern Alpha galaxy has enough star systems, and many star systems have suitable terrestrial planets, some of which must have produced intelligent civilizations, but we do not know the development of these civilizations. It is not clear whether we can defeat these civilizations with our technology. More importantly, no one can be sure whether we are adequately prepared. Simply put, we must prepare for the worst, and even self-defense when necessary. Sacrifice to preserve the overall situation." The memory sighed, and then replied, "But after we came to the Southern Alpha Galaxy, we discovered that the indigenous civilizations here are very backward, even if some of them have entered the industrial age and mastered science. Technology, the gap with us is also very huge. More importantly, most of the indigenous civilizations are still in the ignorant period. Obviously, we don’t need to go to war with these indigenous civilizations at all. We can completely appear before them as gods. It is also the arrangement we made after coming to the Southern Alpha Galaxy. If there is no rebellion, we will be able to control the entire Southern Alpha Galaxy while preserving the indigenous civilization and become the masters here."
"It's just that there was a rebellion."
The memory reluctantly smiled and said: "According to our plan, after controlling the indigenous civilization, we will build a powerful army as quickly as possible."
"You mean..."
"Do you think, why should we choose the Southern Alpha Galaxy instead of other star systems?"
Yang Yi shook his head and waited for the memory to continue.
"It's very simple. Before the disaster, we not only discovered the existence of intelligent civilization in the Southern Alpha Galaxy, but also the Northern Alpha Galaxy, and through the intercepted space fluctuation signals, we concluded that there is one in the Northern Alpha Galaxy, at least one technologically very Advanced civilization. According to the judgment at the time, this civilization has already mastered space technology, or space technology that can be controlled. Obviously, this civilization has enough ability to fly over the greenwich meteorite belt, which is not long, and can control South Alpha. The galaxy can at least appear in the Southern Alpha Galaxy as a god, thereby controlling the indigenous civilizations in the Southern Alpha Galaxy."
"and then?"
"Obviously, this is different from our discovery. It is very simple. There is no such civilization in the Southern Alpha Galaxy, and we have not detected any signals that are powerful enough to be related to the space channel. In other words, the Southern Alpha Galaxy has not mastered this kind of The civilization of technology."
"What does it matter?"
"Of course it's relevant and extremely important."
"what relationship?"
The memory sighed and said: "Human beings can make a leap, dominate the entire galaxy, and become a god-like existence in the eyes of other civilizations. In fact, it has something to do with a person and a major discovery we made at the end of the first era. This major discovery. , Let us first come into contact with the technology related to primordial energy, and also let us discover that we can control space through primordial energy, thereby overcoming the limitation of the speed of light and crossing the long distance between star systems. It is this technology that allows us Leaving the solar system and walking towards other star systems in the Milky Way. However, apart from knowing that the technology is related to a person, we don’t know the specific source of the technology."
Yang Yi frowned, but he was shocked because he knew who the memory was talking about.
"Of course, only one thing is certain." The memory took a look at Yang Yi and then said, "That person left the solar system after mastering this technology, and the only message he left was that he went to more than 10,000 light A place outside the year, a far away place."
"Southern Alpha Galaxy?"
The memory nodded and said, "Although we made a leap after the end of the first era and became the overlord of the galaxy, for all of us scientists, finding that person and figuring out the origin of all this is the key. , And it is our goal. Of course, in the thousands of years in the second era, we have been exploring and making various efforts. More importantly, our exploration and efforts are not without Meaning. Before the disaster, we had figured out a crucial issue. It was this discovery that made us decide to go to the Southern Alpha Galaxy to find the final truth."
"What found?"
"The root cause."
Yang Yi was very puzzled and couldn't understand the meaning of memory at all.
"To put it simply, the technology we have that allows us to achieve a leap, that is, the technology that uses the original energy to warp space and create space in the same way does not belong to us, nor does it belong to any one born in the known universe. And a civilization developed through our own efforts." The memory sighed with a wry smile. "The key is that we are an existence in the known universe, or a product of the known universe, so no matter how far we develop, our knowledge cannot exceed the scope of the known universe. We all know that the known universe is A three-dimensional space, and extremely vast, we have not seen the edge of the known universe so far, maybe it does not exist at all. The problem is that the space channel that we used to open up has surpassed the three-dimensional space and belongs to the fragments of the four-dimensional universe. This makes the judgment that the known universe is only a projection, or part of the four-dimensional universe that has decayed."
"This… "
"It's hard to understand, isn't it?" The memory smiled faintly, and said, "In fact, when we made this judgment, we also found it strange, or even dare not believe it. However, the later findings were sufficient to prove this judgment. The key is , Any physical theory based on three-dimensional cosmic space cannot explain the existence of the same path in space and the resulting phenomena, such as the realization of speeds exceeding the speed of light through space channels."
"and then?"
"After making this judgment, we immediately thought that the discovery at the end of the First Era might have nothing to do with that person, or that he was only the discoverer, not the inventor. In addition, he left us afterwards. , Embarking on a journey to the southern Alpha galaxy alone is probably also related to this, that is, he believes that the answer to this mystery can be found in the southern Alpha galaxy."
"Mystery?"
"If the three-dimensional cosmic space we are in is not produced naturally, but is just a remnant of an existence, then what is this existence?"
Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, he really hadn't thought about such a problem.
"Think more about it. If the three-dimensional universe we are in is the product of other existences, then what are the lives or intelligent bodies of us born in the three-dimensional universe? In other words, if we are in the three-dimensional space Space is a building, such as a chicken coop, then who built this chicken coop, and who raised chickens and poultry like us in it?"
"Wait, you mean..."
"If the three-dimensional cosmic space we are in was created, then are we also the same?"
Yang Yi was silent, or did not keep up with the rhythm of the memory at all.
"If these conjectures are all valid, then who created us, why did we create us, and why did not appear in front of us after creating us? Also, the great discovery we made at the end of the first era, is it related to The creator is concerned, is the creator specially left for us, so that when our technology reaches a certain level, we can discover and use it. If so, what the creator wants us to do, or wants us to use it What kind of value do these technologies have found?" The memory exhaled, and said, "Of course, if these guesses are wrong, how should the contradictions be explained?"
"What does it matter?"
"Of course it's related!" The memory gritted his teeth before saying, "In the second era, we treat other civilizations well and help other civilizations develop and grow. It's related to this. To put it simply, if we were created, The same goes for other civilizations. If we can find the answer, then we need the help of other civilizations. Besides, maybe the creator just wants us to find the answer together."
Yang Yi rolled his eyes. Although he did not refute the view of memory, he clearly felt that memory was talking nonsense.
"Of course, it's not just the civilization in the galaxy that was created. It's very simple. The spatial fluctuations we detected from the Northern Alpha galaxy are enough to prove that there were also created there, and the treasures left by the creator were found, and Realized a leap of civilization."
When the memory said these words, Yang Yi was surprised, because he thought of a person, to be precise, a memory.
