Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 780: The Great Voyage Three Billion Years Ago

"Then can you tell us what the pioneers left behind?" The humans were a little impatient, which was normal. After all, this journey had been full of hardships.

From encountering the drifting bottle to discovering the location of the star map, crossing an entire spiral arm, and finally going through layers of mazes to finally reach the so-called "land of inheritance", how can humans not care?
"Of course, the thing is the crystal you see now, but before you understand its use, aren't you interested in the great voyage? Oh, it seems that you should have known it from the drifting bottle left by my creator..."

"No, no, no, we are interested. We do know something, but not much. We only know that the pioneers are going to a very far place, and most of the other beings that have reached the sixth level of civilization also have this goal, but we don't know where they are going. The drifting bottle said that some information was lost because of the long time..."

Humans actually want to complain about the so-called information loss, but when they think about it, they don't say anything because it is indeed possible. After all, for humans, the destination of a long voyage is important information, but for a drifting bottle, preserving the location information of the pioneer's microcosm is the most important thing.

Besides, humans just heard that this intelligent system said that it has been updating itself for countless years.

Considering the structure of this small universe, it is estimated that it is only because there has been a fixed energy supply that it can preserve information for such a long time, while the drifting bottle is most likely floating in the universe and it is difficult to update itself.

"My timer shows that three billion years have passed. It is normal for some information to be lost over three billion years. Even this place cannot have existed for so long unless it was unworthy. But even so, this small universe is not far from collapse."

"Ah?! Will this small universe collapse?" Such information suddenly popped up and everyone on the Lyra was stunned.

This is a huge matter. If my microcosm really collapses, I’ll be doomed!
"Of course it will. Once the energy system that supports it is exhausted, it will collapse."

Oh...it turns out that the collapse occurred because the supporting energy was exhausted. We were shocked...Red dwarf stars have a long lifespan, so it seems to be a false alarm.

Just as the humans were rejoicing, the intelligent system added: "It can probably last another 7,000 years!"

Ah, only seven thousand years? But it doesn’t seem short!

Everyone was confused and relieved at the same time. They were confused because the lifespan of a red dwarf is very long, and three billion years is just a drop in the bucket. They didn't expect that there are only seven thousand years left.

It seems that there are some complex mechanisms involved. Human scientists believe that the pioneers used some kind of technology to accelerate the death of stars.

After all, given the lifespan of a red dwarf star, it would be no problem for it to exist in the natural universe for 100 billion years.

The reason for the relief was that even seven thousand years was long enough, and now that humans had arrived at the 'Land of Heritage' they should not have to stay here for another seven thousand years.

"Thank goodness. Can you tell me about the Great Voyage?"

"Of course," the intelligent system said, "There are records of this in the database left by my creator, so what do you want to know?"

"Everything about the great voyage, all the information left by the pioneers." The human was not pretentious.

"That story started three billion years ago. At that time, my creators, or what you call pioneers, had already reached the top civilization level in the entire Milky Way. At that time, we called it the pinnacle of interstellar civilization...

It was called this because at that time a powerful being passed through the Milky Way and brought information about extragalactic galaxies and some levels of civilization divided according to technological barriers. It is said that the civilization came from the Andromeda Galaxy and they were the first to bring news of the great voyage.

Because it is said that the civilization at that time used our Milky Way as the first step of the Great Voyage, but later they clashed with us because they intended to forcibly sweep away many Level 5 civilizations in our Milky Way, and were finally destroyed by my creator. "The intelligent system continued: "As for the destination of the Great Voyage you asked about, I do have relevant information here, which is also what my creator wants to tell the new generation of civilization that inherits what he left behind...

All the information is stored here. According to the program settings, I will pass them all to you! You can take your time to look at it. Of course, the things are also given to you. After all, your technology has reached the activation standard. According to the data, the largest battleship should be your flagship. Very good. "

The intelligent system did not say it directly, but let humans see it themselves.

After receiving this message, Yue Yuan immediately became alert and notified all the drivers to connect to the consciousness link device again.

Everyone who received the order immediately executed it.

The intelligent system said that it would pass all the information left by the pioneers to humans so that humans can read it themselves. At the same time, it said that it would give things to humans and mentioned the human flagship. It seems that it wants to get the things on the flagship? But now the diamond crystal is about 0.71 astronomical units away from the human fleet. Yue Yuan is very curious about how the things were brought here.

Of course, he was actually very wary of this way of "giving". After all, it was not like the equipment left by the awakener to humans that had to be moved by humans themselves. The feelings of active and passive were different.

Although Yue Yuan and everyone knew that if this intelligent system had malicious intent, their more than 2,000 warships would probably have no room for resistance, they still instinctively became alert.

So, Yue Yuan on the human flagship Lyra, who had just entered the third-person driving state with a group of pilots, felt a familiar feeling of movement in the starry sky, and the source of this feeling was exactly where the diamond-shaped crystals were.

It’s worthy of being called Awakener Technology, it’s so powerful!

Yue Yuan sighed in his heart, then focused his attention on the diamond-shaped crystal. Then he saw the whole process of the diamond-shaped crystal disappearing.

Pixel-like spots first appeared on its surface, and then gradually disappeared like smoke fading away, which was exactly the same as the way the message in the bottle disappeared.

It’s quantum macro-tunneling!

"Seeing" this situation, Yue Yuan shouted in his heart, but then his consciousness discovered a situation that the detector had never discovered before.

When the diamond-shaped crystals gradually disappeared, Yue Yuan felt as if he "saw" the appearance of curled microscopic space undercurrents around the space there. The undercurrents were very chaotic but seemed to follow some kind of rules. At the same time, his 360-degree third-person vision also noticed that the warp engine room of the Lyra also had curled microscopic space undercurrents.

Two places 0.71 astronomical units apart simultaneously experience a tiny phenomenon...

Is this a teleportation point?

Yue Yuan realized it quickly, but he was also surprised to see the so-called curled up microscopic space undercurrent. After all, this was too unexpected and he didn't understand what was going on.

And this "seeing" is somewhat psychedelic, like a dream.

The Awakener's technology once again refreshed his knowledge.
