The road to technology

Chapter 213 Degenerate Civilization

"Young civilization, although you have cracked the way to enter here, but if you want to know the truth of the darkness of the universe, some things still need to be confirmed, because we are not sure whether your civilization, which was born 200 billion years later, is aggressive enough Heart, civilizations that are not aggressive enough will be led into degeneration by this news, and finally perish. According to my creator's settings, I must first ask you a few questions."

"Don't worry, our civilization sincerely hopes that there will be a latecomer who can embark on the road of breaking free from the prison again."

Yue Yuanzhou is not interested in the truth of the universe that the degenerate civilization artificial intelligence said, but he thinks that since this extinct civilization still leaves such a large warehouse, does it mean that there will be some technology, such as this Civilization's gravitational technology.

According to what this artificial intelligence said, they can actually create a gravitational source and then gather interstellar gas and dust. It can be done, but never practiced.In his imagination, the principle of the warp drive can be used to distort space-time and cause gravitational effects.

This time, he had this opportunity to encounter this degenerate civilization. If he had that kind of technology, he could just refer to it.

There is also the technology to create a small universe. For Yue Yuanzhou, what is missing is a technology to create a small universe membrane, which can be embedded in the big universe without people noticing.Even if he hadn't been cut before, he wouldn't have been able to find out.

"go ahead!"

After Yue Yuanzhou sent the information, the artificial intelligence began to ask questions as it had been set.

"How do you see this universe? From what purpose did you work hard to enter here?"

"A dark universe. As for why I came here, it's all accidents and curiosity."

Seeing that the question was not about where you came from and where you were going, Yue Yuanzhou answered very simply, but what he said was the truth.

And the artificial intelligence of the degenerate civilization was just as it was set, and said without hesitation: "Very well, in fact, it doesn't matter how you answer, because you have only come here for so many years, and this system has already activated emergency response. It's time for a mechanism, and inquiries are just a process."

"Don't worry, you have to be prepared, because our universe is dark for a reason. When it comes to the truth of the universe, we have to talk about the warehouse of this civilization. When our civilization was brilliant, the gathered stars were enough to illuminate The dark universe thousands of light-years away is like we have brought light to the universe, and the various stars we light up move around the giant attractor. At that time, our civilization once thought that it was the master of the universe.”

"You are intelligent beings. You should be able to imagine that within 20 light years, only our civilization lights up thousands of stars to illuminate the universe. Except for us, other places are dark but dark, but as I said before, we are not Don't know what the darkness is 20 light-years away."

Yue Yuanzhou wondered if the artificial intelligence would stop for a while if he didn't finish talking about the greatness of their civilization, and he also wanted to prostitute some of their technology, thinking that this might be triggered by some program, so he continued to be patient listen.

"At that time, the Academy of Civilization Sciences put forward a great guess after tens of millions of years of research on the universe we live in, that is, there is one or more giant attractors beyond the endless darkness, and they guessed that these giant attractors The surrounding ten or twenty light-years may also have a large amount of matter that can be ignited to become stars, just like ours here."

"At that time, this conjecture, which was completely opposite to the cosmic phenomenon we observed, did not receive the attention of civilization. Until about 1 years after the conjecture appeared, our sensitive detectors detected gravitational waves that lasted hundreds of years. Calculating that this gravitational wave comes from the darkness about 3000 million light-years away, this news immediately reminded civilization of the conjecture back then, and it proved that the conjecture was correct."

"Our universe is composed of countless material regions tens of millions of light-years apart. After confirming this conjecture, we once despaired, but under the leadership of the wise and mighty civilization leaders at that time, the civilization rekindled its fighting spirit, and the continuation of civilization was ruled out." Put it first, so our degenerate civilization began to explore the endless darkness vigorously. Unfortunately, no matter how many expeditions go out, no matter how advanced the spaceships are, they are all gone forever, and every spaceship stops at the end Before running, the same quantum information was sent—insufficient energy!”

"The endless darkness devours countless civilization explorers like a giant beast in the abyss. We have tried every means, whether it is time-space transition, warp speed navigation, or even carrying stars to explore, but there is no doubt It failed, the more mass it carried, the more energy it took to propel its voyage, it seemed to be an endless loop. Now you know, our exploration failed, the endless darkness is like the sea, we can't reach it Another island!"

"But this is not hopeless. After millions of years of exploration by our civilization, we have detected a distant gravitational wave. This gravitational wave has lasted for more than 1000 years. When the Academy of Sciences calculated the distance, we were desperate! Because according to calculations, the gravitational waves produced by the merger of giant attractors are 5000 million light-years away from us, and we can’t even go 3000 million light-years, let alone 5000 million light-years! But this is not the most desperate, the most desperate After thousands of years of gravitational wave observations, the Academy of Sciences at that time discovered that the sources of gravitational waves are moving away from us at an extremely fast speed! But we don’t know why, why they are moving away from us!”

This should be the truth of the universe discovered by the degenerate civilization. Yue Yuanzhou, Karl, and Ah Zhui listened quietly. No one laughed at this civilization. It is already great for a civilization born in this period of time to discover the universe.

At this time, the artificial intelligence continued to follow the instructions of its creator, and said without a wave: "This is the truth of the universe we discovered. The 'island' is far away from us, and our civilization will never reach the next 'island'. People Desperate, they began to give up on themselves. Anyway, after using up the hard-earned materials here, there is no way to survive, so hedonism prevails, civilization gradually loses the heart of exploration, and superb artificial intelligence technology provides people with convenient Serve, and gradually fewer and fewer people learn new knowledge, and as generations die, science gradually breaks down. So civilization begins to regress."

"After 1000 two million years, civilization is hopeless, so the plan to seal civilization was launched. I followed the creator's instructions and sealed the last batch of degenerate people who still have the spirit of self-motivation into the most advanced freezer. In order to look forward to the civilization that inherits all the resources in our warehouse in the future, continue to step on our shoulders to further explore the endless darkness. We only hope that when you know why they are far away from us, you can wake up the few remaining Jane And people, tell them why."

"The universe was clearly born from the darkness, and the gravitational force clearly pulls each existing 'island', why are they almost as if they repel each other as soon as they are born away from each other!"

"A storehouse of matter that we tried our best to explore the unknown in the most prosperous period has also decayed. Only these four dying red dwarfs are left. If you lack energy, go ahead and take them. They can still burn for at least tens of thousands of years. .”

"We waited for a long time, and we finally got the future civilization. Unfortunately...the people who waited for the answer fell asleep forever because of the long time. The answer is meaningless to my creator, the degenerate civilization."

"Fortunately, the creators have considered this situation. This is the last request of our degenerate civilization: if the future civilization finds the remaining resources helpful, please remember that there was a civilization that once struggled for 4000 million people to explore the dark truth of the universe. For [-] million years, this civilization is called degenerate civilization!"

"We died on the road of exploring the dark universe, but we want to live in the memory of future civilization!"

The artificial intelligence is finished, this is the truth of degenerate civilization, and Yue Yuanzhou looked at Ah Zhui and Karl who were silent, presumably they also knew that degenerate civilization did not know why from its birth to its demise, degenerate civilization did Knowing the truth but not knowing why, they are still one step away from the answer.
