Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 783: Big Universe Big Void
People then continued to read the content of the information.

[Yes, if you are good at astronomy, you have probably guessed it. The place we are talking about is the Bootes Void, which is 700 million light-years away from our Milky Way.

We initially thought that the local void near our Milky Way galaxy would be enough to achieve our goal, but it seems we were wrong. After our scientists calculated the structure of dark matter, the local void did not seem to be large enough and it is very likely that it would not be able to eliminate the experimental effects...

We believe in the calculations of our scientists, so we did not choose the Local Void near our Milky Way. Yes, it is a pity that there is such a local void so close that we cannot choose it, but there is no way... The diameter of the Local Void is only 1.5 million light years, which really does not meet the requirements.

Our scientists have calculated that on the huge cosmic scale centered on our Milky Way, perhaps only the Bootes Void is the most likely. Its diameter is 2.5 million light years, making it the largest of the many voids. If it is still not suitable, we may have no choice but to perish...】

Seeing this, all the humans on the First Fleet frowned. Of course they knew about the Bootes Void. It was a very huge area in the universe with almost no galaxies. It was one of the largest voids known to mankind.

The diameter of the void is about 2.5 million light-years, which was discovered and roughly measured by humans in 1981. This void is located in the direction of the constellation Boötes, about 7 million light-years away from the Earth. On average, there is one galaxy every million light-years.

Because from the earth it is roughly in the direction of the constellation Bootes, which is also the origin of its name.

To use an apt analogy to describe its size, if the Milky Way were located at the center of the Boötes Void, then humans would not have discovered the existence of other galaxies until the 1960s.

According to the density of galaxies in the universe, such a large area should have about 50 million galaxies, but the Bootes Void has only 60 galaxies.

Some people believe that the Boötes Void was formed by the merger of multiple small voids, just like small soap bubbles merge into a large bubble. This theory can explain why a few galaxies remain in a tubular area in the center of the void.

Human astronomy has developed quite well. At least the estimate of the Bootes Void has been confirmed by pioneers here.

In fact, for such a large void structure, it is normal for the observation and calculation results to differ from the actual results by tens of millions of light years.

This result is data from the human Earth era. After humans set foot on the starry sky, they have been thinking about how to survive most of the time. Most of the observations of the starry sky are also within the Milky Way, and they have not focused on the scale of the larger universe for a long time.

But now, the information left by the pioneers has once again directed mankind's attention to the vast and boundless universe that is beyond our imagination.

After silently sighing in his heart, Yue Yuan once again looked at the message left by the pioneer.

[Oh no... maybe there are other feasible ways. Maybe there is such a possibility that we will have to face the KBC Void directly at that time. However, if we really have to face the KBC Void directly, it will really be a last-ditch effort to survive, because we can't walk out of the 2 billion light-year diameter, and we will definitely not be able to get out if we go in... Of course, we estimate that some other civilizations will go to other voids, such as the Fornax Void, Capricornus Void, Sculptor Void, Cygnus Void, Canis Major Void, Microscopic Void, Corona Borealis Void, etc. ]

[Some civilizations may try their luck in these voids. After all, due to their location in the universe, some civilizations are still too far away from the Bootes Void.

Just like some civilizations born in the Capricornus Supercluster, Pisces-Cetus Supercluster, Sculptor Supercluster, Phoenix Supercluster, Horologium Supercluster, Columba Supercluster, Canis Major Supercluster, Pavo-Indian Supercluster, Ophiuchus Supercluster, Hydra Supercluster, Coma Supercluster, Perseus-Pisces Supercluster, Sextans Supercluster, Cetus Supercluster, etc., they may really choose these voids. We wish them success...】

[Of course, we believe that if possible, civilizations born in these superclusters would also give priority to the Boötes Void.

Civilizations like ours that were born in the Virgo Supercluster are still too far away. Perhaps some civilizations born in other nearby superclusters have already advanced to the Boötes Void before us.
For example, it is unknown whether the civilizations born in the Cetus Supercluster, the Ursa Major Supercluster, the Corona Borealis Supercluster, the Shapley Supercluster, the Boötes Supercluster, etc. succeeded. 】

[In fact, we all know that entering a void is almost a dead end, because there are almost no galaxies in it, and even if there are, they are extremely sparse. Therefore, the biggest problem that a civilization that enters a large void will first face is matter.
Of course, there are also matter and galaxies in the void, but there are too few of them to support the material needs of a number of civilizations. Therefore, the civilizations that enter the void not only face the test of the harsh natural environment of the universe, but also face countless dangerous civilizations...

Of course, the premise of facing these is that we can reach the Big Void. The pioneers composed of our two civilizations are already the most powerful in the Milky Way. We can no longer find any rivals in the Milky Way. But even so, we dare not guarantee that we can safely cross the distance of 7 million light years. 】

When Yue Yuan and others looked at the information left by the pioneers, they couldn't help but imagine a large fleet setting out from the Milky Way and sailing across one galaxy after another.

They all had good scientific literacy and naturally knew that the 7 million light-year journey mentioned by the pioneers was actually not just 7 million light-years, because the fleet could not sail in a straight line to the destination, it was just moving in the general direction towards the goal.

During this period, they must follow the locations of galaxies, which are also called major routes, just like humans sailing today, using stars as stopovers to replenish supplies, except that civilizations like the Pioneers use galaxies like the Milky Way as stopovers.

In this process, he will inevitably encounter strange and powerful civilizations, just like the Awakener coming to the Milky Way, and perhaps he will be buried in a certain galaxy if he is not careful.

Didn’t the pioneers say before that they destroyed a level six civilization from the Andromeda Galaxy before embarking on the great voyage?

Maybe that civilization was not the original civilization of the Andromeda Galaxy, but a civilization that sailed from other galaxies and was then killed in the Milky Way.
