Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 753 Lattice Maze
The first human fleet seemed to be trapped in a maze. It seemed a bit far-fetched to say that the fleet was trapped in a maze, but it would make sense if it was a space maze.

Judging from what humans have seen and heard now, it is a lattice maze. After all, the First Fleet has been traveling for a long time and is still within the lattice matrix.

Of course, there is also the reason that the small universe is too big, but it is only a small universe, how much bigger can it be? The speed of human beings has reached ten times the speed of light, so we can go to the galaxy, and even if we can't go there, we can still see it.

But now the diamond lattice matrix is ​​outputting what humans expected. The scenes detected by the detector are all neat and tidy lattice matrices that stretch as far as the eye can see. After sailing in one direction for several months, there is no slight change.

There is another reason why humans are sure that it is a lattice maze, that is, so far, humans have not found any traces of other civilizations. It can be confirmed that the dynamic picture civilization and the orange star civilization have entered, but they are nowhere to be seen in this endless lattice matrix, which means that they are probably trapped in the same lattice maze as humans.

Moreover, the information of the mazes where each civilization is located is not interoperable, or it may be blocked by some kind of spatial structure.

A level six civilization that can open up a small universe must have certain attainments in space technology. Humans already understood this when they studied the small universe created by the Awakener. Therefore, the small universe left behind by this pioneer may have some kind of peculiar space structure.

Human experts believe that it is because of this peculiar spatial structure that the First Fleet of Humanity and the fleets of the Dynamic Picture Civilization and the Orange Star Civilization do not encounter each other. It is also because of this peculiar spatial structure that this place has become a lattice maze.

And since this maze is characterized by being composed of countless lattices, the key to unlocking the answer may also be the lattices, so humans have to continue studying lattices if they want to solve the maze.

This is just one of the views held by human experts, and it does not represent the views of all think tanks and scientists.

Some social scientists believe that this is a test from the pioneers to the later ones, and only the civilization that passes this test can reach the real microcosm. Some people agree with this view, but the scientists who put forward this view do not know what the test they are talking about is. They just say it like that without any evidence, let alone how to pass the so-called test.

However, although there is no evidence, what humans have seen and heard since entering the microcosmic channel has confirmed that the top priority is not to find the fleets of the other two civilizations, but how to see through this diamond lattice matrix that may be a maze.

So humans now have two choices: one is to stop and continue the possibly fruitless research on the diamond lattice, or the other is to continue moving forward in one direction and mark the way along the way to see if they can get out of this maze.

Although it is called a choice, humans can actually do both. However, in order to prevent the fleet from getting separated during the voyage, humans dare not do both at the same time.

Therefore, after some consultation, the human leadership on the Lyra decided to stop again and study the lattice closest to the fleet.

There was no need to repeat the previous experiment. As for the new experimental method, humans planned to use weapons to try it out. As for the experiment, various observations and various radiation irradiations had been tried before, and the feedback they got was that this thing was just like crystal, and there seemed to be nothing special about it.

Humans are certain that these things are definitely not normal lattices. Normal lattices cannot be so firmly fixed in the void with no fulcrums. It's just that human technology cannot tell the difference.

Then the so-called research is only about using weapons to fight.

Naturally, some people oppose this behavior. Their reason is that this is a small universe left behind by the pioneers. It is a treasure left by the last voyager to the civilization of this era. We cannot destroy it at will!
This statement is not without reason, but it also depends on the situation. The current situation is that when humans enter here, they inexplicably enter the lattice maze, and they can't even see a way out. If they do nothing, they may be trapped here. When the fleet runs out of fuel, they will all die here.

You have to know that in this void, humans have not yet discovered any usable planets, and there are not even hydrogen molecular clouds or dust clouds. If we really stay here and do nothing, something will happen sooner or later.

Of course, the First Fleet's resource reserves were not going to run out so quickly, and they could at least continue to run for another 500 light years. Fuel was still plentiful, but if they couldn't find the exit of the maze, they would inevitably face fuel problems. The weapon strike experiment was carried out under everyone's attention, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the feedback.

First, various types of laser weapons bombarded. A planetary battleship approached the diamond lattice directly and opened its close-in defense laser cannon to fire. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, thousands of lasers arrived in an instant and hit the lattice.

However, what everyone saw was that all the lasers were deviated, and they did not cause effective heating to the diamond lattice at all.

Since laser weapons didn't work, they used various energy-type particle weapons, but the results were no different.

If ability-based weapons don't work, then use kinetic weapons. A kinetic weapon shell that is powerful enough to destroy an asteroid is fired from the muzzle under the acceleration of the grand unified force field.

Humans originally thought that this time the attack would hit the diamond lattice but leave it unscathed, but the result was beyond their expectations, because according to the images fed back by the detector, they saw that the kinetic energy shells went straight through the inside of the diamond crystal.

This shot was like hitting a shadow, with no point of force.

"Could this lattice be a phantom?"

Seeing this situation, the only thing humans could think of was the existence of phantom lattices. If phantom lattices really existed, then perhaps there was some kind of pattern in it. After all, those lattices that humans had tried to push with warships before must have been real, otherwise how could they be pushed!

"Shadow, entity."

"The arrangement and combination of the two forms of lattices may be some kind of binary signal! If so, then maybe we just need to find the pattern and we can find a way out of the maze!"

Seeing that the experiment was unexpected, some scientists used their imagination and murmured there.

"Is this the content of the pioneer assessment? But what kind of assessment is this? Observation and judgment, and computer skills?"

No matter what, now that the existence of virtual diamond lattices has been discovered, the most urgent task is to send out a detection flight to confirm how many of them are real and how many are virtual, and then place signal recognition devices near each virtual and real diamond lattice.

Because the entire void is made up of diamond lattices, it is impossible to tell which is which when observing from a distance, so humans have to mark them themselves.

Seeing hope, humans are full of energy and do it without any hesitation.

Of course, everyone understands that time is running out. This time is not only the time that human fuel can last, but also the time to compete with the other two civilizations.

After all, I originally thought that it would be a battle when I came in, but now it is in the form of a test. Doesn't that mean that whoever completes the test first will have the opportunity to get the things left by the pioneers? ! ! !
