Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 942: One Step at a Time
That is not the mass reduction caused by normal black hole evaporation, because the mass of the black hole in front of humans has reached 1,700 times the mass of the sun, which is a medium-mass black hole. The larger the mass of the black hole, the slower the evaporation speed, and it is impossible for it to show mass changes in such a short time.

Of course, the reduction in black hole mass caused by humans is very small. With humans' ability to extract negative energy, they cannot drain the black hole's mass even if they extract it here for hundreds of millions of years.

Yes, quality!
It is obvious that humans are extracting negative energy, and the mass of negative matter formed by the compression of negative energy is still negative, but the overall appearance of the black hole is a decrease in mass.

According to normal cognition, the mass should increase.

This immediately makes human scientists realize that black holes have even more magical unknown phenomena, and that there must be some intrinsic connection between negative energy and mass.

It should be a mass-conferring Higgs mechanism.

Human scientists have discovered that negative matter compressed from negative energy manifests itself as negative mass, but it also takes up spacecraft payload.

Logically speaking, if there are ten kilograms of positive mass cargo and ten kilograms of negative mass cargo on a spacecraft, then the mass of the cargo on the spacecraft should be zero, but the reality is counterintuitive.

The positive and negative mass here does not manifest itself as the mass being offset to zero, but rather the superposition of the effects.

Whether it is conventional acceleration or warp speed, there will be a mass effect of total addition, as if the universe itself adds an absolute value to the negative mass before the mathematical calculation.

This involves the secret of mass and the mechanism of the Higgs field, which are unknown to humans.

As for the mass issue, I don’t know whether humans have mastered the sixth level. I don’t think they have, otherwise if they make the spacecraft into zero mass, long voyages wouldn’t be so difficult.

Of course, it is not easy for a spacecraft with zero mass to travel such a long distance. After all, zero mass is only the speed of light, and the life inside it needs to feed on negative entropy!

As for the Higgs field, humans have tried to study it since the Earth era, but still have no clue until now.

To get back to the point, human civilization has stayed in this black hole for about four hundred years. During this period, in addition to the creation of negative energy extraction devices, there have also been some advances in other areas of technology.

It is mainly reflected in the manipulation of some creations and super-force fields.

It can be said that it took mankind 400 years to turn many technologies that a fifth-level civilization should have into reality, and many branches of scientific and technological achievements have been applied among the people.

For example, applications related to the repulsion of negative matter.

Now on human habitable spaceships, in addition to mecha enthusiasts flying in tactical armor, there are also many that appear to be flying in ordinary clothes.

Of course it’s not ordinary clothing, otherwise it wouldn’t be able to fly.

Their clothes are all custom-made and are the product of the combination of nanotechnology, negative matter technology, and force field technology.

The seemingly ordinary clothes actually hide many high-tech products including energy systems, human microcurrent sensing systems, and brain wave control systems.

Negative matter is also encapsulated in the interlayers of parts such as the soles of shoes, hands and legs of clothing. This kind of clothing achieves the flying effect by relying on the repulsive field generated by them and the interaction with the gravitational field on the spacecraft.

Flying in this kind of clothing is as agile as performing aerial acrobatics.

If there are special requirements, the nano clothing can also be equipped with enhanced deformation systems, self-repair systems, etc.

Advances in technology in the microscopic field have made nano-clothing less like clothing and more like pieces of light armor.

And this is just one successful example of the civilianization of human civilization technology.

If this technology is put on a planet where humans can survive, then humans will definitely fly all over the sky like immortals. Of course, the effect is also good on a living spaceship, because the spaceship is big enough for humans to fly freely.

In addition, humans now have thick skin and flesh, so it is difficult for them to die even if they fall from the air. Therefore, this new technology has been widely praised as soon as it appeared. It coexists with the mecha flow and becomes the two mainstream modes of travel on human spacecraft.

There are many successful civilian technologies like this, which mainly serve individual humans.

Unfortunately, after so many years, humans have made no progress in areas such as consciousness uploading, warp optimization, modular shields, and macroscopic space dimension research.

From a broad perspective, humans still belong to the primary level five civilization, because except for the Lyra which is equipped with the Pioneer warp enhancement device, all other human warships need 5 seconds to enter warp speed.

There was no progress in the development of new life medicines, but the School of Life Sciences unexpectedly made a breakthrough in a body strengthening technology based on cell dynamics during its research.

This technology treats each cell as a strengthened unit. Through genetic engineering, the cell kernel is edited into a biological information buffer, and the cell nucleus is edited into a biological information processing center.

At the same time, the aerobic respiration function of mitochondria is optimized to produce more powerful energy and provide energy for all the transformed organelles.

Other organelles such as the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, etc. also need to be re-edited at the genetic level so that they can form an enhanced resonance with other organelles and ultimately realize the appearance of a biological magnetic field in a single cell.

Finally, under the subjective brain wave instructions of the brain, cells throughout the body realize the whole-body biomagnetic field effect and form a biomagnetic defense layer on the human epidermis.

The overclocking mode that humans previously entered by relying on the "goose bumps" ability has also been edited into this human body enhancement system.

Technology in the field of spiritual awareness also plays a big role here.

In the future, if humans want to activate overclocking mode, they no longer need to train hard to master it. They just need to give orders to the body from their subjective consciousness.

Moreover, it will be more powerful than the original overclocking mode. It can crush rocks and break iron without any problem. It is definitely a super human.

Theoretically, in overclocking mode, the strength of a single person can hit a train, and the acceleration that can be sustained is doubled.

If this happened in the Earth era, it would be no different from superpowers.

The emergence of a new generation of body enhancement technology has given humans more confidence in the successful development of a new generation of life-enhancing medicines.

After several years, humans who have already completed the supply of negative matter will embark on the star journey again.

As the order was given, the negative energy extraction device, which was half the size of the moon, slowly split into dozens of structural pieces and were then pushed into the belly of specially designed star-class transport ships.

Humanity’s large-scale creations are, as always, modular in design, which can be said to fully embody the characteristics of a nomadic civilization.

Once these transport ships meet up with the main fleet, the Covenant fleet will officially set sail, but where they will go has not yet been determined.

In this vast universe, humans don’t know where to go, because it seems like they’ll just be wandering around everywhere.

How about following the star map given by the Daya civilization and visiting the Star Sea Alliance of Level Five Civilizations?

Just when the decision-makers were worried, Adley came rushing in from deep space and sent a message to the Lyra: "Human civilization, I found a strange warp trail while wandering around!"
