Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 782 We go to the abyss for hope

Listening to the intelligent system's words, the humans present were all silent.

Although we already knew that there was a gap in the advanced civilization in the Milky Way and that it was due to the pioneers, we did not expect that the specific reason would be this.

From this point of view, the great voyages back then were not like they are now. They should have been known to everyone, otherwise it would not have been possible for so many level 4 and 5 civilizations to be tempted to take a ride.

Moreover, under the dominance of the Pioneers at that time, the entire Milky Way should have had a long period of relative peace. It is estimated that the Pioneers also set some rules for those civilizations. Only in this way would there be a situation where level 4 and 5 civilizations were willing to follow on the great voyage.

If it were like it is now, with advanced civilizations enslaving lower civilizations at will based on their mood, the situation at that time would never have occurred.

For example, the Galactic Heart Alliance is avoided by lower-level civilizations. If they want to make a long voyage, it is impossible for lower-level civilizations to follow them.

It is estimated that the pioneers at that time not only did not enslave other lower-level civilizations, but also established some rules to give us room for development.

What a good era!
Thinking of this, all human beings couldn't help but sigh.

After expressing their feelings, humans once again asked about the warp space enhancement device.

The intelligent system said again: "You can read the operation manual yourself, don't worry... you can understand it. You only need to enter the information that needs to be transcoded into its built-in system and it will automatically translate it into your language.

Well, my mission has been completed. You can leave at any time. I will open the microcosm channel for you.

But before that, I suggest that you make a final modification to your warp engine room and install the warp space enhancement device."

"Uh," the human was stunned when the intelligent system said this, and then asked cautiously: "Aren't you going back to the universe with us?"

Many people on the human side think that with the existence of such an intelligent system created by pioneers, there may be many things to be asked in the future, but some people think that having such an intelligent system is tantamount to being an emperor and is very risky.

The reason is that the intelligent system is a creation of the pioneers, not the pioneers themselves, and who can guarantee that it will not suddenly become a self-aware being in the future?

Although this intelligent system itself said that it is not strong artificial intelligence, humans still think in this direction.

It's a bit like judging others by one's own mean character.

"No, although I call myself "I", I am just an intelligent system. I cannot leave this small universe because those diamond-shaped crystals you saw before are actually the necessary hardware for my existence."

This is... There is no ship in the new era that can carry me!
"Well, thank you anyway! So what about our warships?"

Everyone had mixed emotions and didn't know what to say, so they could only ask a question related to themselves.

Although the intelligent system says that it is just an intelligent program, it does feel like a consciousness to humans. At least in its various interactions with humans, there is no trace of an artificial intelligence program.

"Your unmanned fleets?" asked the intelligent system.

The Tianqin sent out a signal and replied: "Yes!" As the humans looked expectant, the intelligent system replied mechanically: "I'm sorry, there is a program in the system that senses strong artificial intelligence warships. In order to prevent civilizations enslaved by intelligent machines from obtaining equipment here, the pioneers have stipulated that no strong artificial intelligence will be able to leave. The program settings cannot be changed!"

Ah this? !
Could it be that this pioneer had been betrayed by artificial intelligence?

"Okay! What about the other two civilizations?"

It would be a lie to say that I didn't feel bad about the direct loss of 990,000 planetary battleships, but there is only one battleship that can be rebuilt, so it is not a loss.

And if there is such a setting, then other civilizations will definitely receive the same treatment.

The intelligent system replied in a very programmatic way: "A passage leading to the macrocosm will appear. Any unmanned spacecraft without a light path will be lost in the passage and will eventually be left in the microcosm forever, and finally destroyed as the microcosm collapses."

Doesn’t this mean that this small universe will become a trap for an intelligent civilization in the future?
Humans don’t know how the Pioneers distinguish between strong artificial intelligence warships and manned warships like the Lyra that are also equipped with strong artificial intelligence, nor do they know how the channels set up by the Pioneers make those ships get lost, but since that’s the case, there must be a way.

"We understand." The human replied, and also told the intelligent system that he wanted to install and turn on the device before leaving.

If you encounter a problem when starting the device here, you can occasionally ask the intelligent system. After leaving, you have to read the instructions and do it yourself. Humans didn’t want to miss the opportunity in the past.

Actually connecting the device to the warship requires modifying the engine room, and everything must be done according to the instructions. This cannot be done overnight. Taking advantage of this time, Yue Yuan and other leaders turned their attention to the information sent by the previous intelligent system.

They had long been curious about what information the pioneers had left behind, and also about the destination of the so-called great voyage.

The information has been received by humans and stored in a database after being translated.

After opening the document, a text message caught everyone's eyes. After clicking it, lines of text appeared inside.

It has been translated, but the information transmitted by the intelligent system before was actually in this form. It is really an ancient form of information preservation. The fact that this form of information preservation can be preserved for such a long time is closely related to the maintenance and update of the intelligent system.

Everyone was not vague and looked at the information one by one.

[Unknown new generation civilization, the fact that you can see these data means that you have obtained the ten warp space enhancement devices we left behind...]

What ten sets? Nine of them have been killed by time due to the age, leaving only one.

After complaining in their hearts, everyone continued to look at the information.

[You must have known that it was a product of special technology in terms of speed. We originally wanted to leave enough equipment to equip a fleet of level 6 civilizations, but it was too difficult to manufacture, and large-scale storage would inevitably damage it over time.
We don't know how long it will take for a new generation of civilization to obtain them, so we can only carefully manufacture a small number of devices and leave them behind.
They are undoubtedly powerful and unique technological creations. We have left them behind for two purposes. One is to provide a sample reference for talented civilizations, and the other is to hope to escort the growth of the new generation of civilizations, and then embark on a great voyage!
The journey is too long and too dangerous, and we don’t know if we can successfully reach our destination...

We know that our destination is actually the abyss, but we have no choice but to move towards it, because the Milky Way and the larger Andromeda Galaxy, as well as the Local Group and the Virgo Cluster, are all cages.
Only in the abyss 700 million light years away is there a glimmer of hope. Perhaps we can find the answer to hope there. If we cannot find it in that dark abyss, we will continue to sail... Of course, the premise is that we can get out after entering...

We believe that there should be no factors that can affect the results of the experiment. Let's hope... If you hear that we have perished on your way to the Great Voyage in the future, please carry our wishes with you and continue on your journey...】
