Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 762: Radiant Light
Only after more than two thousand consciousness-linked warships entered the channel did people have time to think about the causes and consequences of the previous and current situations.

Finally, the experts analyzed the reasons why humans can trigger the channel themselves, just like their colleagues did later. They believed that the diamond lattice maze is indeed a test and a screening method.

First of all, the pioneers did not consider that a level 3 civilization could cross the galaxy to find the small universe they left behind, so the civilization that entered the diamond lattice maze must be at least a level 4 civilization. And the things inside can only be used by a civilization with at least the peak speed technology of a level 4 civilization, otherwise they would not have set it up so that only this speed can trigger the channel.

As for why a battleship cannot be triggered, experts believe that it should be a test of whether a civilization truly masters this technology. If the engines are purchased, there cannot be so many.

Or there is indeed some kind of surveillance equipment in the diamond lattice maze, which will trigger the channel only after discovering that the engine technology is created by civilization itself.

So if the civilization that comes in is one that obviously does not meet the standards, such as human civilization, Orange Star civilization, and dynamic picture civilization, then it will have to work hard to improve itself here, which will test the potential of this civilization.

Because the diamond lattice maze has no available energy at all, the civilization entering the diamond lattice maze must achieve a technological breakthrough within a limited time, otherwise they will be trapped here.

Pioneers are pioneers, not philanthropists.

What they left behind does not need to be inherited by waste civilizations, because their fundamental purpose is to allow a new generation of civilization to embark on a long voyage to pursue that slim glimmer of hope. It would be a waste for a civilization without certain potential to get it.

This is quite reasonable.

Based on this, experts also said that if a level five or six civilization came in, it might be able to directly bypass the diamond lattice maze and enter the real microcosm. After all, being able to reach a level five or six civilization has already proved that this civilization has great potential.

Humanity was very lucky. With only over 200,000 people, they made a breakthrough in speed technology in a short period of time. However, such luck was actually a combination of various factors. If it was not the First Fleet that came in, but other fleets, it would probably be a failure.

It’s not that the people in the First Fleet are so smart, but that the First Fleet has the largest number of people, and the most important point is that the First Fleet’s flagship, the Lyra, has very complete scientific data, including almost all the technology of human civilization from the era of Callisto to the current level.

Without such accumulation of scientific data, success would be absolutely impossible.

All eggs will not be put in one basket. In addition to the complete set of human civilization's database on the Lyra, there is also a copy on a certain spaceship in the main fleet of human civilization. However, many people do not know about this. It is a civilization secret and will probably only be activated after the Lyra is destroyed.

Having said that, these 2,994 human warships have been observing the passage since they set foot on it, and have also discovered some clues.

The appearance of the passage is similar to the small universe of the awakener, but not exactly the same. When humans came out of the awakener's small universe, they walked directly through a space passage and returned to the big universe.

The reason why it is so obvious that it is a space channel is that when passing through that channel, the detector detects that the space around it is curled. Of course, what the detector detects is not the space itself, humans do not have such technology yet, but the starlight propagating in the space. What humans see are stars inlaid on the inner curved surface like gems.

And now this channel seems to be the same, but in fact there are no stars on the inner surface, but only the shadow of his own fleet.

It looks like a shadow, but humans know that it is oneself who is seeing oneself, not a reflection. The space here is distorted in some way, so when you look to the left, you can see your right side. It is a magical scene.

The awakener 'Huan' once told humans that the iconic technological achievement of the sixth-level civilization is the mastery of dark matter and dark antimatter, and using them as a source of energy, but he did not say that the sixth-level civilization also has such attainments in space.

But some things need no explanation, after all, seeing is believing.

Human beings have been in the small universe created by the Awakener, and now they have entered the small universe of the Pioneer. This is enough to show that the sixth-level civilization has mastered a certain degree of space technology, but it is unknown how deep their mastery is.

However, it seems that the sixth-level civilization can already create small universes at will, otherwise the awakener Huan Jue would not have been able to do it with his own individual life. Of course, it may also be because the awakener civilization is quite special.

Moreover, the way the Awakener creates the micro-universe is to directly cut out the large universe and make it an independent space, rather than creating it out of thin air.

I don’t know how the pioneers created their own microcosm.

As a place where something is kept to be left for the new generation of civilization, the pioneer's microcosm is obviously much more complicated than what the awakener created casually.

After entering the channel, the more than 2,000 consciousness-linked warships of the first fleet of mankind did not return to the universe, nor did they have a feeling of reaching the end of the channel. Instead, after passing a certain place unknowingly, the scene in front of them changed.

There was no sudden enlightenment. The first thing humans saw from the perspective of the detector was a pitch-black space.

"Is it because it's too old and the energy devices have become outdated?" Seeing this scene, many people had this thought in their minds.

"No, that's not right. There is light! And there seem to be quite a lot of light sources!"

Soon people found that their first judgment was wrong. The information fed back by the detector told them that the darkness was just a detection delay. In fact, this place was very empty. The detected darkness was only the internal background of the small universe. Against the background of dark space, there were indeed many light sources.

However, judging from the intensity of the light sources fed back by the detector, these light sources do not seem to come from stars, because even the dimmest stars cannot be so dim, and their light cannot be so soft.

What surprised humans was that they also detected that these lights were not white light, but seven colors of light after white light was separated, namely red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, indigo and violet.

At first glance on the battleship, people thought that the strong artificial intelligence deliberately displayed the light in this way on the display device, but it turned out not to be the case. The colorful light was directly detected in the space within the microcosm, and the strong artificial intelligence was simply feeding back the detected image to humans.

Curious people have already looked out of the portholes with their naked eyes, and the result is as shown on the monitor. What they saw was brilliant rays of light, as if endless rays of light appeared on the dark background, which was very beautiful.
