The last human in the universe

Chapter 169 Peak
Everyone knows in their hearts that as long as they wait long enough, there will always be cosmic high-energy particles that happen to have the parallel trajectory of this semi-open particle collider, and thus collide just under people's observation field of view.Because in the final analysis, it is just a matter of probability.

What people didn't expect was that people's luck was so good that they only waited for such a short time before ushering in this crucial collision.

In this instant, people observe that a large number of particles are generated in an instant.Among them, because of the extremely short half-life, most of the particles decay into other particles immediately after they are produced.But it doesn't matter, by observing the energy and type of other particles, it is still possible to deduce what particles decayed into them through physical formulas.

This whole process can be described and calculated with formulas.The formula is used to predict the generation, decay and final product of particles, and the actual experimental environment and the data generated in turn verify the correctness of the formula.

This is the highest-energy particle collision ever observed in the history of human civilization.It can be predicted that it will inevitably generate a lot of data that has never been seen before.

At this moment, the entire physics world boiled.

Zhao Changxing also felt inspired by this.Because the scientific data from the Moyun Litar civilization clearly shows that a considerable part of the ladder from the second-level civilization to the third-level civilization is hidden in the microcosm.

Under Zhao Changxing's watchful eye, with the continuous increase of population and the continuous metabolism of civilization, starting with this particle collision, many scientific research discoveries have emerged one after another.

The scientists and scientific materials from the Moyun Litar civilization have no way to promote human civilization to enter the third-level civilization level.The reason is very simple. The scientific system of the third-level civilization is complex and huge. Just passing on this knowledge without any promotion, the number of professional scientific research scholars required is as high as hundreds of millions.

Those scientific materials and the knowledge mastered by scientists only occupy a small part of the entire three-level civilization science system.Of course, this can give a great impetus to the scientific and technological system of human civilization, and even accelerate the scientific and technological progress of human civilization, and prevent the scientific and technological path of human civilization from going astray, but more blank parts still need to be filled by human civilization itself. .

Under this background of development, items that were originally blank were written, and items of technology that people had not mastered before, nor obtained from the Moyun Litar civilization, were developed by people themselves.

More complete star and galaxy evolution theory, universe evolution theory, microscopic particle model, space-time environment model, etc., are all produced from these many basic scientific research facilities that can be called scientific research tools.

Gradually, the total population of human civilization reached [-] million—this does not contradict the previously proposed upper limit of [-] million.

The population limit of [-] million refers to the population when leaving this galaxy.And at this moment, there is still some time before leaving this galaxy.During this period of time, the large-scale production of newborns through artificial wombs will be completely stopped, and all incentives for childbearing will be cancelled, and childbearing is completely voluntary.

Then, according to the calculation of the population birth rate and death rate model, from the current stage, the population of human civilization will spontaneously and slowly decrease, until the time of departure arrives, it will drop to about [-] million.

Human civilization at this moment has truly reached an unprecedented peak state after leaving the earth.

At this moment, human beings have footprints all over the three large planets and thousands of asteroids in this star system. There are more than 3000 roller-type space cities, which are distributed around the three large planets.

There are numerous factories and resource bases all over any slightly larger planet, and millions of spaceships of various types are busy shuttling between different planets.

In their spare time after work, people can go to planet No. 100 to feel the huge storm that has spread over the entire hemisphere, has been blowing violently for hundreds of millions of years, and will still exist for at least 2 billion years, and they can walk more than [-] meters In the deep seabed, you can feel the majesty and romance of the thousands of miles of ice field on the back of planet No. [-] under the endless starry sky, and you can also feel the power of super giant volcanic eruptions on planet No. [-] and the steel jungle of planet No. [-]. Feel the desolation and coldness of asteroids, and you can also feel the eruption of ice springs from billions of years ago on top of comets.

The development of genetic modification technology has made people almost far away from the entanglement and torture of diseases, and has a strong body and abundant energy.The great abundance of materials allows people to enjoy everything in life to the fullest. Anyway, everything is very cheap - because nuclear fusion fuel is almost unlimited, everything is almost cheap.

Compared to the time when I was in the solar system, on Sedna Star, and held back for a little resource, now, I can undoubtedly think that I am in heaven.

"If you can develop here unscrupulously without leaving here, then this place really is heaven..."

Looking at the virtual star map in front of Roller Base No. [-], Zhao Changxing sighed slightly.

It's a pity that human civilization will leave here after all.

Even in order to improve the safety of human civilization, Zhao Changxing had no choice but to promote strict "environmental protection" measures to strictly limit the emission of various gases and dust while the civilization was developing recklessly.

For example, major mining plants, major metal smelting plants, chemical plants, etc., are all equipped with gas and dust filtration and recovery devices, which will compress all waste into solids, then package them, and transport them to garbage dumps for storage to avoid other wastes. into the planet's atmosphere.

To promote this, of course, is not really for environmental protection.Its essential use is to avoid changing the elemental structure of the planet’s atmosphere, causing other civilizations to spy on the existence of a civilization in an extremely distant place through the change of the spectrum of the planet’s atmosphere.

Fortunately, because the energy is abundant and cheap, except for a little more work and a certain decrease in efficiency, this did not cause any other impacts.

Now, the development of human civilization on this planet has entered the peak stage in an all-round way.And Zhao Changxing knew very well in his heart that after the peak, there was a decline.

It is already 1436 in the new calendar, and there are still about 200 years left before the final departure.

Zhao Changxing knew that civilization's development strategy should be changed again.

In the previous period of time, the scientific research power of civilization was more concentrated in the field of basic physics, and great efforts were made in the exploration of basic physical theories, and many gains were made.Now is the time to make a pivot and translate these discoveries in fundamental physics into applied physics.

In a normal scientific system, its theoretical system is always ahead of its applied system.Depending on the direction, some places may even be hundreds of years ahead.

Just like the original earth era, it took decades after the theory of relativity was put forward to be applied in practice, and powerful weapons such as the atomic bomb were produced, as well as subsequent nuclear power plants.

However, even the string theory, superstring, and M theory that have been proposed since the earth age have not been applied in practice until now, more than 1000 years later.

Of course, this does not mean that research and exploration in the field of fundamental physics will stagnate from now on.In fact, it's just a different focus.

With the change of civilization development strategy and the slow decline of the total population of human civilization, breakthroughs in many application levels have emerged one by one.

Steel with better performance, small-scale industrial preparation of metal hydrogen, more advanced shielding materials, more efficient propulsion engines, supercomputers with more powerful computing performance, etc., are emerging like a tide.

People even feel a certain amount of numbness to this kind of significant breakthrough that will appear every now and then, giving people an intuitive feeling that the world is changing rapidly.

This is the change that a breakthrough in basic theory can bring to the application level.

However, all of these breakthroughs were finally reflected in a technological creation that Zhao Changxing and many civilization leaders, scientists, and people of insight in civilization valued most—combat spacecraft.

Whenever there is a new technological breakthrough, the military will always be the first to apply it.

At this moment, a ship adopts the most advanced technology that human civilization has mastered, and combines part of the technology of Moyun Litar civilization-this part of technology, human beings have not yet figured out their specific principles, but it does not prevent people from applying them- The most advanced battleship manufactured was presented in front of Zhao Changxing and the leaders of civilization.

It presents a not-so-standard spherical shape as a whole, with a diameter of about 400 meters.The shell is made of new special steel plus metal hydrogen, and has a combination of passive and active blasting armor protection systems, which can withstand the bombardment of extremely powerful electromagnetic projectiles, and has considerable stealth and electromagnetic protection capabilities.

It uses antimatter as its energy source, and its propulsion method adopts a propeller that imitates the Yuanhang spacecraft and has about 60% of its propulsion efficiency.

The weapon system adopts a large number of small and medium-sized and miniature electromagnetic guns as conventional weapons, with large electromagnetic guns and high-power laser cannons as the main gun, large and medium-sized interstellar missiles as guided weapons, supplemented by miniature missiles loaded with antimatter bombs as the final card .

Zhao Changxing very much hopes to decipher the relevant technology of the "vacuum cannon" equipped in the Yuanhang spacecraft. Even if the vacuum cannon he imitates can only have 10% of its power, it is acceptable. After all, this is truly beyond the second level. Civilization's super weapon.

Unfortunately, the human science community has not succeeded.It cannot be equipped on this most advanced spaceship.
