Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 1755: A Civilization Trapped in Deep Space

These elves seemed to be excited about the existence of different civilizations that had drifted to this planet. After all, given their current situation, whether the other party came from another world or from the distant other side of the starry sky, it was good news.

"What race are you? Where is this place? I should be able to ask, right?" Lan Nuo asked while quickly learning the language of this world through the comparison of the translator. At this moment, his eyes were already in a state of confusion. It was very fast to learn a new language when the genetic lock was unlocked.

"Hello, you can call me Wim. I am Hilda's temporary regent. This is Hilda's Star Island. We call ourselves elves, and judging from our appearance, we should be a similar race. May I ask if you can provide information about your planet and universe?"

"I cannot reveal the planet I am on for now, because it involves the safety of my civilization. In my world, it is dangerous to reveal the location of my home planet. However, I can provide the cosmic background radiation of my universe so that you can determine whether it is the same universe."

His words immediately brightened the eyes of Wim and the other elves around him. They were originally worried that Lanno was a being from a lower civilization and could not provide them with much help, and he didn't even know what was happening to him.

After all, when I saw him just now, he appeared out of nowhere in a burst of white light. He was wearing camouflage combat uniform, with cold weapons and a crossbow slung around his waist. This equipment didn't look like that of a member of an advanced civilization. After all, in an advanced civilization, who would use weapons like a crossbow?

But now that he mentioned the cosmic background radiation and was even able to provide information about it, that was different. Even if his civilization was not as advanced as the elves on Hilda's planet, it must have a good understanding of astronomy and aerospace. In this way, more information could be obtained, and perhaps this could be used as an opportunity to find a way to teleport or jump across space.

"No problem. Please tell us the cosmic background radiation of your universe. We will compare it with the cosmic background radiation of our world to help you determine whether you have traveled through time and space."

There was a hint of excitement in Wim's tone. Although they had long anticipated that Lan Nuo might be a time traveler, it was still very important for these elves to confirm this.

The existence of the phenomenon of time travel is a great encouragement to their civilization. After all, they have invested countless energy and resources in the technology of time travel, but have not been able to successfully develop this technology. Many people have already suspected that the rules of the universe do not allow time travel at all.

Even in an experiment not long ago, a huge accident occurred. This made the situation even worse for Hilda, which was already short of resources. Even though they managed to control the order within the civilization, the people were still in a low mood and extremely pessimistic about their future. If they continued like this, their civilization would collapse before the resources in the galaxy were exhausted.

The Hilda civilization is an extremely special civilization. They were born on an extremely remote planet. There are no other galaxies within hundreds or even thousands of light years around this planet. In their own galaxy, there are only their home planet and their sun. This makes it impossible for this civilization to develop aerospace technology. However, if they do not develop aerospace technology, they will be trapped on this planet forever until the planet's resources are exhausted.

At this moment, they are on the verge of running out of resources. Today, Hilda no longer exists, but has been dismantled into a chain of floating islands. Almost all the resources inside the planet have been used for space shuttle experiments, but no valuable results have been achieved so far. Perhaps in a few decades or even years, the resources on this planet will be completely exhausted, and they will face the end of complete annihilation in this cold and lonely universe.

The appearance of Lan Nuo undoubtedly gave them a shot in the arm when they were on the verge of extinction. Unlike humans on Earth, when facing a time traveler, they would be extremely vigilant, control the other party, or even send them to the laboratory for human experiments.

For the elves of this world and this civilization, the traverser is an extremely precious existence. The fact that he is still alive and that he has traveled to his own civilization is a significant and morale-boosting benchmark.

At this moment, their conversation was being broadcast live throughout the entire civilization, and when the different cosmic background radiations of the two worlds were compared and presented, the entire civilization was boiling. The originally low morale was being revived.

The failed space teleportation experiment was not without results. It was not just that their queen died unexpectedly. Judging from the arrival of a traverser shortly after the experiment, their experiment may have achieved some results. It broke the barriers between the worlds to a certain extent, leading to the emergence of the traversal phenomenon.

There is no more exciting news than this, even though the scientific research team is not sure about conducting another experiment. They don't even understand why this experiment allowed the time traveler to appear in their civilization. But it doesn't matter. The most urgent task for them now is to save the Hilda social system that is about to collapse. When the last scientific research resources are about to be exhausted and the last hope is about to be shattered, no one has the will to continue working.

  If we don't give them hope at this time, there is no way to organize people. After all, everyone will die in the end, and there is no hope. There is no point in continuing to work hard. So why not relax before death?

If we cannot give the whole society an exciting news, then even the social organization will collapse directly. For this era, hope is really the most precious thing. Nothing can inspire this civilization more than hope.

Lan Nuo also realized what his appearance meant to this civilization. At the same time, through the information obtained from previous exchanges, he roughly guessed which world he might have come to, so he directly followed the other party's words and said, "It seems that I have indeed traveled to another world. Can you send me back? Theoretically, if I can travel here, there is a possibility of traveling back. The civilization I belong to has mastered relatively mature space jump technology and relatively less mature world jump technology. If you have any technical difficulties in time and space travel, I may be able to provide some help. But considering that the physical laws of the two universes may not be exactly the same, my theory may not be applicable here."

This was undoubtedly more exciting news, and even Wim could no longer maintain his composure. He had originally intended to use this opportunity to boost the morale of the people. In this way, even though he knew that this time traveler could not bring any substantial help, at least he could help him reorganize the elves and resume production.

But I never expected that the person who came through was actually an individual from a higher civilization. Although individuals in a civilization cannot have a comprehensive understanding of the technological system, the higher civilization still has an unparalleled advantage in terms of the overview of technology. At least the other party can provide a direction for development. If we develop in this direction, we may really be able to open up a transmission path in a desperate situation with limited resources, and revitalize the civilization that has already reached a dead end.

As the regent, Wim bore the pressure of the entire civilization. When he heard the news, he felt relieved.

After a brief exchange of information between the two civilizations, the public live broadcast ended. In this era of extremely scarce resources, even live broadcasts on the Internet are a luxury, and are only conducted when important information is announced. The appearance of Lan Nuo is a life-saving and unexpected turn for the Hilda civilization.

Wim personally brought Lanno to the civilization's library. Even though the previous experimental accident caused huge losses to people, the large number of technical books stored by the civilization were still preserved, at least their backups were preserved.

"You can communicate with the staff here and ask for all the details about the technology we have mastered. You can learn about all the resource reserves on our planet. I hope that through your perspective, I can help us plan for the future and see if there is any way to create space teleportation facilities.

You should be able to see that our resources are extremely scarce. If we can't build space teleportation facilities within a few years, we may be extinct."

Wim was not worried about the technology leak. Even if there were some civilizations that were hostile to the Hilda government, they were all in the same boat. At most, they just had different ideas. In essence, they all prospered and suffered together. There was no such thing as technological espionage.

  After obtaining the right to freely browse materials in the library, Lan Nuo gained a deeper understanding of the civilization born on this planet. In what kind of harsh environment did it grow tenaciously to its current state?

In history, the planet Aerim was a habitable planet like Earth, but without a moon. In the era of living on the planet, the elves and humans were not much different. They all developed slowly. They experienced wars on the surface of the planet again and again. They consumed and wasted a lot of resources. Until they entered the interstellar era, they discovered the difficulties faced by the planet they were on, and finally faced the threat of extinction. They united and concentrated all their efforts to try to develop teleportation technology that could cross space.

In order to keep the civilization going, all items in the civilization are recycled, almost all entertainment facilities are abandoned, all resources are rationed, and in order to build experimental equipment, the original planets are dismantled into floating islands one after another. But even so, they spent endless time and invested a lot of resources. Luck is still not good enough. So far, resources are about to run out, but the technology of time travel has not been developed.

Lan Nuo looked at the technological route of this civilization's development process, and then couldn't help but shake his head secretly in his heart. Their civilization level is already very high, and in fact it is even higher than many civilizations that have mastered the skills of space travel. However, it is estimated that there are certain problems with the technology tree, which has resulted in space technology not being pointed out.

He didn't know much about the rules of the universe, and he wasn't sure he could implement space technology with such limited resources.

After reading the information for three days and three nights, Lan Nuo's ordinary human body finally couldn't bear it anymore. He had to take a nap after eating a tasteless meal of synthetic organic matter to relieve his mental fatigue.

After waking up, he immediately found the scientist he was in contact with and explained his plans for the future development of technology.

"There are certain differences in the physical parameters of our two universes. I'm not sure whether the space teleportation device that can be used in ours can also be used in yours. And the manufacture of such a device requires a lot of resources. For you who are about to run out of resources, this is tantamount to a gamble."

The elf scientist who was in contact with him had actually thought about this issue. When he heard the human time traveler give the same opinion, he couldn't help but sigh.

"If there is no other way, we have to take the gamble no matter how slim the chances are. Otherwise, we will have no future at all. Tell me, what do you think is the probability of successfully replicating your space teleportation device in this world?"

"With the current resources, we can only conduct one or two experiments at most. And the probability of being able to produce a mature and usable space teleportation device in one or two experiments... is infinitely close to zero."

Lan Nuo did not comfort the elf scientist at all, but gave a very sincere data. Before the hope in the other party's eyes gradually extinguished, Lan Nuo mentioned another thing, and the expression on his face looked a little strange.

"Although the probability of success of direct experiments is infinitely close to zero, I have discovered some strange mineral resources in the crust of your island." When he said this, the expression on his face was a little strange.

"I remember from your information that your current resources come from stars. You have built a small spaceship called Corona Station, which relies on shields to get close to stars to obtain stellar materials to replenish the resources lost by the floating island. Every action to obtain resources may cost the life of the pilot of the spaceship. Even so, the resources that can be obtained and the resources lost are basically in a state of balance, which can only barely maintain the survival of civilization.

But I found a special mineral on your floating island. If you process it, I am 100% or even 90% sure that I can greatly strengthen the armor of your warships and reduce the difficulty of obtaining resources from the sun. At least before this mineral is exhausted, you will gradually get rid of the shortage of resources and have more resources to repeat the experiment. "

As for the reason for his weird expression...
