Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 917 Our Universe Seems to Have Been Modified

"The star gate that the previous generation of great voyagers passed through? Where does it lead to?" the being in the nebula asked curiously.

Huan did not hide it: "The data we discovered is from the Andromeda Galaxy. It is also possible that it is a stargate from the Andromeda Galaxy to the Milky Way. The civilization that built the stargate should have been to our Triangulum Galaxy. However, we have searched the entire Triangulum Galaxy and found no other stargates, so we found the Milky Way."

The being in the nebula seemed to be unfamiliar with this matter, so he asked again: "Andromeda Galaxy? What about after arriving in the Andromeda Galaxy? How much do you know about the previous generation of great voyagers?"

"Then we will continue to follow the route of the previous generation of great navigators, hoping to find it. Otherwise, we can only open up a route ourselves, but no one is willing to open up a route by themselves unless it is absolutely necessary." The Awakener Huan slowly told what he knew:
"The sea of ​​stars is vast, and there are no shortage of rule traps, high-dimensional fragments, low-dimensional fragments, and space-time turbulence in the interstellar space. Some of those things are naturally formed in the universe, and some are the product of wars between advanced civilizations. Once you accidentally fall into them, you will be doomed. If you encounter other civilizations on long voyages, it will be impossible to live in harmony, because in that case, except for our own people, other civilizations are just materials.

Of course, the actual situation is more than that. We only got this information from a certain ruin in the Triangulum Galaxy. We came here from the Triangulum Galaxy thanks to activating the star gate in that ruin, and we did not really encounter that kind of situation.

But even with the help of the Star Gate, we almost died on the way. The journey is too long. No civilization can travel millions of light years at a time. With our current navigation technology, it is inevitable that we will die if we want to travel directly from the Milky Way to the Andromeda Galaxy. "

"As for the previous generation of great voyageurs, we don't know much. We only know that they are an ancient civilization that once visited our Triangulum galaxy and left some legends there, some legends about the great voyage. It was after we learned those legends and combined them with our conclusions from our exploration of the seventh-level civilization path that we confirmed the necessity of the great voyage.

There seems to be something in this universe that is limiting our wisdom. You should also know about vacuum zero-point energy. We know that such a thing exists, but we don’t know what is interfering with our exploration. No matter what we do, we cannot get the correct experimental conclusion.

The Awakener paused and asked, "Have you ever seen a Level 7 civilization?"

"No, but I'm sure they existed. There are traces of their presence in our galaxy. The star gate you mentioned might be it." said the being in the nebula.

The Awakener said leisurely, "Yes, our Awakener civilization has ruled the Triangulum Galaxy for countless years. We have searched almost the entire galaxy, but we have never seen a Level 7 civilization. It stands to reason that they have appeared before, which means that our universe is suitable for their existence. In a sense, this means that other civilizations can also become Level 7 civilizations, but now they have all disappeared. What a coincidence that all of our Level 6 civilizations cannot master vacuum zero-point energy.

We can clearly see and prove that energy exists, but we can never get it. Our universe seems to have been modified. Why is there only a little bit of vacuum zero-point energy leaking out? Its secret is either hidden in the giant attractor 2.5 million light-years away, or in huge cosmic voids. We chose the latter based on our understanding of the universe and the information obtained from some civilization relics.

The words of the Awakener Huan left the being in the nebula speechless for a long time.

He is not from a technological civilization and does not know what vacuum zero-point energy is, but he can subjectively feel that there is a kind of usable energy in the universe, but he cannot control it.

However, this feeling became more obvious the farther away from the star system, so he thought that he might as well embark on a long voyage with the technological civilization, and maybe he could master it if he went far away from the star system. That's why he wanted to embark on a long voyage.

For thousands of years, he has always felt that these galaxies are cages.

"By the way, your existence is quite special. Are there many beings like you in the Milky Way? It is hard to imagine how you, who don't understand technology, can achieve all those means. It is incredible." Seeing that the existence in the nebula did not speak, the Awakener Huan asked curiously.

“Don’t ask too much.” Seeing that the Awakener was interested in him, the being in the nebula changed the subject and said, “It seems that about 30 million years ago, I heard a technological civilization say that they went on a long voyage to find a true vacuum.”

"True vacuum?" The Awakener Huan was indeed attracted to it. "Perhaps they are right. The dark matter in this universe has been moving in a certain way. We don't know if it is due to the Great Attractor or something else. In short, that kind of movement will cause the dark matter to emit some kind of magical waves. The disappearance of tachyons is related to this wave that almost covers the entire tree-like structure of the universe. According to our cosmological speculation, it may be the reason for the disappearance of the true vacuum."

"Maybe!" The being in the nebula replied indifferently, and then said: "I'm leaving. Don't come to me for anything important in the near future. After this battle, the conventional forces of the Reapers suffered heavy losses, and the electronic warships should have returned from the turbulence of time and space. They have nowhere to vent their anger, so don't go back to the Milky Way and cause them trouble."

As he spoke, a transparent shadow was seen leaving the nebula and gradually disappearing into the void behind. However, this movement did not cause any changes in the tiny molecules in the entire nebula.

The Awakener Phantom watched the phantom leave from a third-person perspective without saying anything. He felt that discussing technology with this guy would be a waste of time.

But he was grateful to this guy from the bottom of his heart. If this guy hadn't blocked the electronic battleship in the wormhole, he would probably be dead now, and more of his companions would have died.

"The Milky Way?"

Extending his senses toward the center of the Milky Way, Huan murmured unconsciously, and then the golden section rectangular ship representing him gradually disappeared, as if blending into the dark background and becoming invisible. Only the murmured words continued inside the golden section rectangle.

"Human civilization. I don't know how you are developing now. You must have built an astronomical particle collider. Under such desperate pressure, you should have broken through that barrier and become a Level 4 civilization. Hurry up, hurry up. With your talent, you will definitely be able to make a consciousness link device. When the time comes, don't think you are invincible because of it and go find the Reaper."

The whispers of illusion gradually disappeared, and the void returned to its former tranquility.
