Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 940 Research and Chit-chat

The fifth-level civilization has mastered the Theory of Everything on the basis of the Grand Unified Theory, and with the support of the Theory of Everything, it has mastered even more powerful force field technology.

This makes human technological creations more robust in the gravitational field of a black hole, and places that were previously inaccessible can now be reached.

However, it is still impossible to cross the black hole's event horizon, because beyond that, even light cannot escape.

In other words, the escape velocity must exceed the speed of light.

Human creations certainly cannot exceed the speed of light, so even if they are not torn apart by the gravity of a black hole as they approach it, they cannot cross the event horizon.

It should be noted that the superluminal speed mentioned here refers to the superluminal speed of massive objects relative to the black hole, not the warp speed superluminal speed. These are two different concepts.

Massive objects cannot break the speed limit of light. This is a basic law of the universe. No civilization can do it without changing the laws of physics.

However, humans now do not need to retrieve the detector. They just need to obtain the detection data. It does not matter if the detector falls into a black hole.

The detection operation soon produced results.

It took only half a month for human scientists to complete the construction of the space-time field structure model of this Kerr black hole based on the data.

The mathematical tools used come from Earth Age, namely the gauge symmetric wave equations.

Mathematicians and physicists applied the wave equation to solve the solution for the rotating gravitational field of a Kerr black hole at every point in space and time.

If every point in space and time rotates the same, the equation remains unchanged, and the equation has global symmetry, corresponding to a force field structure of the black hole. Conversely, the equation remains unchanged, but it means that the equation has a more complex symmetry, corresponding to another black hole force field structure.

With this model, engineers can modify the negative energy extraction device accordingly according to each black hole type.

The transformation of creation went smoothly, and it only took two and a half months. Human civilization even built backup equipment.

However, when the new negative energy extraction equipment was put into actual experiments, all the scientists involved in the project were stunned.

Because the experimental results showed that nothing happened except the extraction of a large number of useless mesons.

What went wrong? There was nothing wrong with the calculation process, and it made sense in principle, but it just didn’t work.

This feeling of being puzzled is like taking apart an electric fan motor and putting it back together, only to find that the fan won't turn at all... I put it back the same way I took it apart, but it just won't turn.

This situation where the process is obviously correct but something goes wrong in the end is the most difficult to deal with. A group of human scientists have repeatedly studied it for decades but have not been able to find the answer.

Not finding the answer means that humans will continue to stay here.

There are many black holes in the universe, and they are not difficult to find for a level five civilization, but running around sometimes does not solve the problem. The new government has decided not to leave until this technology is broken through.

In this way, as time passed year after year, the Covenant fleet stayed one light-year away from the Kerr black hole, and all the necessary supplies were transported from nearby star systems by transport ships.

Adley, on the other hand, couldn't stand the loneliness and wandered back and forth among several nearby star systems.

And in this process, humans discovered that Adélie actually needed to sleep.

This was discovered by a transport ship while it was delivering cargo to a nearby star system. They first found that there seemed to be something wrong with the lighting of the star, so they thought they had encountered some strange astronomical phenomenon or another civilization. After some detection, they found that it was Adélie who was sleeping on the surface of the star.

After being awakened, Adeli told the humans that he was sleeping because he was tired from running, and passively absorbed stellar energy to replenish his physical strength. Special life forms always do things that make technological civilization feel strange. Adeli's behavior immediately made human scientists realize that he is really a special life form. His name is Adeli, not the extinct Adeli technological civilization.

Perhaps there are still many unknown secrets about Adli...Humans seem to have made a strange friend unintentionally.

"Adley, what are your plans for the future?" It was an ordinary day. Yue Yuan came to the Tianqin command center again and started chatting with Adley, who had just returned from a stroll.

Ever since humans encountered difficulties in the research of extracting negative energy from the black hole force field, Yue Yuan, in addition to paying attention to the research progress every day, often chats with Adley whenever he has time.

"Plans? I don't have any plans. I feel good now. This universe is so beautiful, and I'm very happy to slide around in the silky space every day. Oh... what specific plans do you mean?" Adley slid through the space and came to the side of the Lyra. He knew that the human who was talking to him was in this powerful battleship.

"For example, go see more beautiful scenery in the universe." Yue Yuan coaxed.

"Oh, for that, of course I will go. But I think we should destroy that evil civilization first. It's just that I don't know where that civilization is, and I don't know if they have become more powerful. I don't know if I can defeat them if I meet them." Although Adeli is not the technological civilization Adeli of the past, he has always been brooding over the demise of the Adeli civilization, and it has become a mental illness for him.

"We will definitely find them. We will help you." Yue Yuan took the opportunity to say.

Hearing this, Adli rolled in the air, seeming very happy: "Great, thank you, leader of human civilization. I was just about to tell you about this. When the time comes, I will kill them all. After we get our revenge, we can go see more scenery in the universe."

"You're welcome. You and our human civilization are good friends, right? There's no need to be so polite between good friends!"

"Yes, we are good friends."

"Adley, if one day we leave the galaxy, will you go with us?"

"Of course, but it's difficult to leave the Milky Way. As far as I know, the Large Magellanic Cloud, the closest to us, is 16 light-years away. We can't go there at all."

"It's not possible now, but it will be possible in the future. And we are not going to the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, but somewhere farther away."

"Farther away?"

"Yes, we will first go to the Andromeda Galaxy, and then leave the Local Group of galaxies and go to a very far place called the Bootes Void."

"Of course I want to go. We are friends so of course we should go together, but why should we go there?"

Because of the long voyage!

Yue Yuan said this because he wanted to tie Adeli to the chariot of human civilization. Now that Adeli said so, he began to introduce Adeli to the great voyage.

Adley has a long life. Perhaps he has existed before humans entered civilization, and he will continue to exist in the future.

Maybe everyone is dead now, but Adley is still here.

Moreover, Adeli is a special life form. Perhaps his existence can inspire the development of human technology in the future. There will definitely be many benefits in tying him to human civilization.

Before, Yue Yuan didn’t know that Adeli could leave the planet, so he would have to stay with humans forever, so he didn’t think too much about it. But now it’s different.

Adley could leave at any time, so that would have to be considered.

Feelings need to be cultivated, which is why Yue Yuan chats with Adeli whenever he has time. There is no other way. As the leader of a civilization, it is difficult for him to really do something without motivation.
