The road to technology

Chapter 252 Isn't this the truth?
The universe is so dark, so vast, and so silent, only those gigantic stars that turn into dust-like spots of light try to illuminate it.

But at this time, these dust-like star points were suddenly blocked by a thin black screen, and then three spheres flashed on the screen.The largest is 1.6 times the radius of the earth, and its appearance is a layer of dark silver hexagonal network structure.The medium one is only as big as the moon, and the whole body is silver.The smallest radius is only 500 meters, and its sphere reflects the medium-sized silver sphere on one side and the stars on the other side. If it were not for its special surface, no one would have noticed it.

These three spheres are naturally the Shenzhou civilization that is sailing towards the Orion constellation in the way of stellar leapfrog. So far, they have sailed more than 1000 light-years.

Because it is necessary to sail across the cantilever, and Yue Yuanzhou does not want to detour to the direction of the galactic center, so on this travel route, about four or five hundred light-years later, he will enter the star-thin region. At that time, each leap can only span a maximum of two hundred light-years Stellar Leapfrog can no longer be used anymore.

Although a yellow dwarf star is placed in the space storage device as an energy source, including the strong interaction force battleship, the energy consumed by star leapfrogging is huge. If the same star is used to provide energy, it may accelerate the aging of the star, so At that time, it can only cross the star desert area directly between the two cantilevers by sailing at a warp speed.

After continuing to broadcast and mocking the civilization hiding in the dark, the Shenzhou civilization came to the edge of the Percyon spiral arm.Although they were on their way, in fact, those people in the Shenzhou civilization still had to do what they were supposed to do. There were not a bunch of people gathered in the lobby to watch this situation, because they were used to it.

So now in the lobby only Yue Yuanzhou is idling and driving the main planet of civilization. Of course, someone is also driving the Yuanxing and the unnamed strong interaction battleship. The artificial intelligence is only an auxiliary after all.

Yue Yuanzhou is now leaning on the throne. In front of him is a full-scale map. When the full-view mode is turned on, it is as if the seat is hovering in the starry sky. At this time, a star with a width of more than 3000 light-years is displayed in front of him. The thin region, across this region, directly reaches the Orion cantilever.

If the warp speed voyage driven by the warp speed crystal advances, it will undoubtedly take more than 3000 years.Therefore, Yue Yuanzhou intends to cross this distance by means of spatially elastic acceleration into warp speed navigation. This method actually takes more than 3000 years, but that is the external time, and people in the voyage only feel that the past few years or even days have passed.

"Light of Taihu Lake, anchoring the time and space where Shenzhou star is, 10% 60% anchoring is completed, import space elasticity parameters, load energy support, space elasticity parameters reach the rated value. Ejection countdown 3, 2, 1"

Since the place where the last stellar leapfrog appeared was near the star, when the Shenzhou star was ejected, the formed flight path about one kilometer wide and about ten kilometers long was like a huge black pillar pulling the star away. Divided into two halves, and the Shenzhou star disappeared at the end of the black giant pillar.After the disappearance of the Shenzhou star, two smaller tracks appeared next to its channel.

From relatively static to nearly the speed of light, it only takes a short acceleration distance of more than ten kilometers. If it is a conventional acceleration, then even the individuals with the lowest generation of gods in the current Shenzhou civilization will be crushed into meat sauce, but this is based on The ejection of space elasticity theory perfectly circumvents this problem.

This is a brand-new navigation method, and it is also a navigation method that can theoretically sail to the end of the universe, so Yue Yuanzhou and even the entire civilization are very curious, because this is the first time for them.

So when it first entered the sailing state, almost the entire Academy of Sciences turned its attention to various detection instruments, trying to find out a little bit of anomaly, so as to explore the meaning of time, a defined physical quantity.

But they didn't find even the slightest abnormality. If they didn't see an occasional star turning into a long line of light and receding from the panoramic view, they would have thought they were not moving.

Yue Yuanzhou was not idle either, but his main thing was to watch, to watch the scientists of the Academy of Sciences conduct experiments.Although theoretically the correctness of the principle of the constant speed of light is very clear, the experiments to derive this theory are all done in a relatively static state, so scientists still don't want to let go of this rare opportunity.

Because they have followed the Shenzhou star into a state of motion close to the speed of light, what they are still testing now is the speed of light in this state.After obtaining the same results, they tested the light emitted by a test point that had been placed on the way forward, and the light emitted from the departure point to the destination before departure.

According to normal thinking, they measured that the relative speed of the light coming from the front and the Shenzhou star should be twice the speed of light, and the light that had already been emitted in the rear should be stationary relative to the Shenzhou star.But the result was not like this. They proved once again that the principle of constant speed of light is still valid in their own high-speed state.

Because although they observed that the light in front is blue-shifted and the light in the rear is red-shifted, the speed of these two lights is the speed of light relative to the Shenzhou star.

Yue Yuanzhou also watched the whole experiment process, and the result was as he expected, but he was secretly amazed, as if the speed of light had been set, this feeling was very weird.

Yue Yuanzhou even thought that if he had the opportunity to experience the world under the low speed of light in the future, he would do this experiment again, which reminded him of Heiyu.Now civilization has mastered the black domain technology, that is to say, it is possible to reduce the speed of light, but he will never take risks until he is sure that it can come out.

As for increasing the speed of light, he would like to study the speed of light again in that environment, but the technology of increasing the speed of light is not even possible for a great master, let alone him.

Thinking of this, Yue Yuanzhou couldn't help but think of Return to Zero, and he didn't know if it was a civilization or an organization.

However, Yue Yuanzhou didn’t quite agree with their ideas, no matter what kind, he felt that the return movement that called on all civilizations to return the matter of the universe was more reliable than returning the universe to zero-dimensional and then returning to the original eleven-dimensional some.

The method of returning to zero should be to change the universe from three-dimensional to two-dimensional foil to make the whole universe into two-dimensional, and then continue to drop to zero-dimensional, and the return movement is to directly shrink the universe into a singularity and explode again from three-dimensional.

Maybe the return movement was done by another great god civilization?Maybe it's the zeroers that have changed their ways?But no matter how you say it, the method of calling on all civilizations to return materials is still a bit low. Thinking about this, Yue Yuanzhou suddenly felt that he had grasped something, but it seemed that there was nothing.

It was a strange feeling to have that epiphany.

Yue Yuanzhou got down from his seat, pondering as he walked.

"The purpose of the Return to Zero is to restart the universe. The same goes for the Return to Movement"

During the voyage, he was bored, so for a while, Yue Yuanzhou thought wildly. He thought of the powerless call when he returned to sports. Thinking of the five kilograms of ecological balls, he thought that many civilizations may still have more. substance.

"what?!!!"

"What the hell!" Yue Yuanzhou knew what his flash of inspiration was just now, and he couldn't help but gasped after grasping the content of this inspiration.

"This shit is the truth of the dark forest, right?" Yue Yuanzhou walked in the hall and looked at the pitch-black starry sky in the full exterior view. Now he felt that the pitch-blackness was like devouring giant beasts, devouring all civilizations!

After a while, he muttered to himself: "What survival is the first need of civilization, what civilization keeps growing and expanding, but the total matter of the universe remains the same."

Yue Yuanzhou now feels that these are all secondary. No wonder he was wondering before, why the civilization of the whole universe can not break the chain of suspicion even though the Three-Body Civilization can achieve real-time communication. Of course, there must be differences in civilizations. .But now he feels that the main reason is that the Great God wants to restart the universe.

"The more civilizations that reach the top level, the more civilizations that are capable of creating small universes, so the more matter will be taken from the big universe. In this way, there will be enough matter for the universe to restart smoothly." Yue Yuanzhou said The pupils that were slackened by thinking refocused on the black starry sky, and said with a serious face: "In order for the universe to have enough species to restart smoothly, we can only kill all possible intelligent civilizations in the entire universe, cosmic sociology? Hehe , It should be more accurate to say that this kind of cosmic picture was deliberately created by the great god civilization! This is so fucking black! The abyss is hugely black!"
