"Someone once said that the most powerful thing about human beings is that they can still see hope when they are desperate."
"Who said that?"
"you."
Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, but didn't react.
"Do you think there is hope?" The man smiled faintly, and then said, "You know, there is no trans-star system aerospace technology at all, and not only there is no, even the basic conditions required for trans-star system aerospace are not available. When this universe was created, it was restricted. Not only human beings, but also all intelligent life in this universe, cannot travel to other star systems without damage."
"What's the meaning?"
"Although relying on current technology to travel at the speed of light, you can reach nearby or even any star system, but the cost is too high."
"If there is no choice..."
"It's not just time, nor just luck. There is no doubt that the civilization of the galaxy, including humans, can come to the Southern Alpha galaxy is a very lucky thing, and it cannot be replicated. More importantly, similar things, or Saying that such good luck is gone."
Yang Yi frowned and looked at each other without understanding.
"Very simple, the galaxy has been destroyed."
"It is precisely because the galaxy is about to be destroyed that we escaped. What does this have to do with luck?"
The man smiled and shook his head, and said, "You mean, if the Milky Way is not destroyed, the civilization of the Milky Way will not risk leaving the Milky Way? In other words, if the Milky Way is not destroyed, then you will take a spaceship to the Southern Alpha Galaxy At the time, the Milky Way still existed? Obviously, you really don’t understand anything, and don’t understand the universe at all. Simply put, before you come to the Southern Alpha Galaxy, whether there is that disaster or not, the Milky Way will be destroyed. In fact, Even if there is no such disaster, the consequences of your escape from the galaxy, or the catastrophe caused by it, will also destroy the galaxy. Obviously, there is no turning back."
"This… "
"The key is the original energy."
"What's the meaning?"
"You should know that all aerospace technologies, including space jumping, are based on original energy. We can rely on original energy to obtain those incredible abilities, just because original energy exists widely in the universe and is inexhaustible. It is endless, and there are everywhere. However, the original energy is also the basis for the stable existence of this universe. To put it simply, the original energy is actually the foundation of space and directly determines the scale and form of the space. That’s why we Only through the original energy can we open the space channel to the distant destination. In the same way, we can pass the original to make the spacecraft reach the speed of light. So, have you ever thought about a question. Why is space jump that allows us to achieve cross-stellar navigation? Technology, not the speed of light technology? Don’t tell me it’s to save time."
"why?"
"It's very simple, the damage caused by space jumping technology to space is almost negligible, while the speed of light technology is obviously not the case."
"What's the difference?"
The man smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said: "Space jumping technology actually uses the fourth dimension, that is, the so-called space debris, to connect two distant points in the three-dimensional universe, and shorten the two points. Therefore, the goal of quickly reaching the destination is achieved. Obviously, the space channel for space jump is separated from the real universe, so the impact on the space is minimal. The speed of light technology is different, it is fully utilized The primordial energy in the universe forcibly increases the spacecraft to the speed of light. To be precise, it uses the primordial energy to change the internal structure of space. Through the natural expansion of space, objects located at the compression point of space reach the speed of space expansion, which is the speed of light. In this way, when flying at the speed of light, it will inevitably have an impact on the structure of space, and the greater the mass of an object flying at the speed of light, the greater the impact on the structure of space. Because photons have no mass, they have no effect on the structure of space. The space structure does not have an impact. Obviously, a huge spacecraft must have quality, and it must have an impact."
"What effect?"
"Space displacement."
Yang Yi was very puzzled, because he didn't even understand the harm.
"Don’t forget, the universe is a whole. More importantly, all matter in this universe has an inevitable relationship with space. To be precise, it is a part of space. If space is displaced by external forces, even if it’s just A small displacement has a devastating effect on nearby matter. Of course, the range of this influence is determined by the displacement. As long as it is large enough, a star system can be destroyed."
"what!?"
"Obviously, so many civilizations in the Milky Way escaped. Although less than one percent of the escaped ones reached the Southern Alpha Galaxy, the impact did not disappear. Millions of civilizations fled at the same time, that is Tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of spacecraft. When these spacecrafts all reach the speed of light, the resulting spatial displacement is extremely terrifying. Although I have not experienced it, but in my estimation, at least the position of the center of the Milky Way has moved hundreds of light years. Do you know what this means?" The man sighed before saying, "Such a spatial displacement is enough to destroy the entire Milky Way galaxy in a blink of an eye, to be precise, to crush all the matter in the Milky Way into elementary particles. Obviously, Even if the Milky Way is not destroyed by the explosion of the central black hole, it will be destroyed by space displacement. Of course, the Milky Way does not exist anymore. To be precise, it has become a super black hole. All matter is transformed into energy, so the influence of space displacement is not affected. It appears. However, this is enough to prove that the speed of light flight technology cannot be used for trans-star system astronautics."
"What if it's just a spaceship?"
"Do you think that a spaceship is meaningful?" The man looked at Yang Yi and shook his head, and said, "The key to interstellar system aerospace technology is not to let you fly to another star system, but to establish between two star systems. A stable two-way transportation system that can be maintained at a low cost. If it is just a spacecraft, it is meaningless to conduct expeditions without return. According to you, it is not called navigation at all, but flight. . Not to mention that it is meaningless to humans, even to the unique intelligent creatures of the Dumen tribe. You must know that the essence of intelligent life is wisdom, not life. Even if you bring the human gene pool, you will not The stellar system in the future can regenerate all people. It’s just life, not wisdom. Those people you know and those you care about have already perished or are about to perish. What do you think is the point of such a voyage?”
Yang Yi was silent, which was obviously a question he couldn't answer.
"Of course, when there is no other choice, this is the only way to protect yourself, but whether it succeeds depends entirely on luck. I have to say that the civilization of the galaxy is very lucky, because tens of thousands of civilizations survived. It is almost impossible for a person to successfully reach a star system 10,000 light-years away and become the owner of this star system. This also means that it is never possible to be so lucky again. Yes, you can do it the same way, But I can assure you that in the next star system, what is waiting for you is definitely not those indigenous civilizations that have not yet been civilized, but an already very powerful civilization similar to the Silicon Magic Alliance."
"That's why you left the solar system and left all your loved ones?"
The person was taken aback for a moment, and did not answer Yang Yi's question.
"So, what I want to know is, since there is no hope, why are you leaving, why are you coming to this far away place?"
"I said, I am different from other results."
"So, there is hope?"
The man sighed and said: "Although I am not a human, half of my blood is from humans, so I inherited some of the advantages of humans. Of course, this is just my personal opinion, maybe it’s self-deception. After all, despair will make us give up efforts. Only hope can make us persevere. Even if the final result is no different from giving up immediately, we will deceive ourselves with hope and make ourselves think that as long as we persevere, we can get better. Even a satisfactory result."
"So, where is the hope?"
"I said, this is just my personal opinion."
"Then tell me and let me know."
The man hesitated for a while before he said, "As I said at the beginning, there are countless star systems in the universe, and the universe has existed for tens of billions of years, and maybe it can exist for tens of billions of years. If in every star system There is a legacy left by the creator, and it will inevitably produce a result. The question now is that the universe has existed for tens of billions of years, why are there so many star systems?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Obviously, mankind is not the first intelligent life to find the creator’s legacy, nor will it be the last. There must be many intelligent civilizations that have found the creator’s legacy before mankind, and according to our previous analysis, these intelligent civilizations will inevitably be Great progress has been made in science and technology, reaching new heights in a very short time, thus consuming the resources of the star system at a very fast rate. Compared with the existence of the universe for tens of billions of years, a smart civilization consumes The time spent on the resources of the star system is very short, whether it is thousands of years or tens of millions of years. Obviously, in the past 10 billion years, many star systems must have been destroyed due to the rapid development of intelligent civilization. Therefore, There must be many blank areas in the universe. But the actual observations are just the opposite. The universe is very full and there are almost no blank areas. In addition, we have not found many signs of the destruction of star systems."
"This… "
"This discovery made me realize that we are special, not just humans, but also myself, and I believe that I am different from other results."
"So, do you think that as long as you can find other results, you can solve all the mysteries?"
