Road to science and technology

Old Spock spoke in an old voice: "Then why did you find me? Since you know everything, there is no need to look for me. As far as I know, there will be no Shenzhou civilization in the future."

Shenzhou does exist. Spock remembers that the Interstellar Federation also has something related to Shenzhou, but it is the Shenzhou starship, not the Shenzhou civilization.

Thinking of this, Old Spock raised his head slightly and looked at Yue Yuanzhou, as if he wanted to find traces of non-human beings on him. But unfortunately, he didn't find it.

Could it be that the Shenzhou in a parallel universe broke away from the Interstellar Federation and then ran to the Shenzhou civilization established somewhere in the universe?

Could it be that his own time travel caused a problem in a certain timeline? The more Spock thought about it, the more likely it became.

"You came from the future, so there should be a way to go back to the future. That's why I came to you." Yue Yuanzhou was not talking nonsense. This was really his purpose of coming to Spock.

Old Spock did not answer immediately, but asked first: "Are you human?"

"Obviously." Yue Yuanzhou spread his hands as Spock did just now.

Seeing this, old Spock made a cheeky expression. He shook his right hand like a dying old man: "Unfortunately, the future Vulcan spaceship I came here on has already exploded. Destroyed, so there's nothing I can do about going back to the future."

"Spock. You know that's not what I'm asking."

Yue Yuanzhou shook his head, "We are not coveting the technology of future Vulcans, and we are not interested in future spaceships. We have reached a higher level. It's just that, as I said just now, we come from another universe, which is a little different from what you imagined. Likewise, the rules of another universe are a little different from here. In our place, time travel is almost impossible."

"But you did it easily, so we are very curious about what physical laws control the physical quantity 'time' in different universes."

"As you can see, we have access to the level of rules of the universe, but we have not mastered them, so we have to look for the hidden mysteries in different universes."

"Our pace will not stop, we continue to explore deeper mysteries of the universe. So I am looking for you to provide some information about time travel. You should know that at our level, you can actually see it for yourself, but we don't like to do this Treat the Vulcans, who are known to be peaceful and friendly.”

Old Spock originally wanted to ask how you can prove that you are from a different universe, but after thinking about it for a while, he did not say anything.

Instead, he sighed: "You can travel in different universes to explore the rules of the universe. The rules of the universe. It's hard to imagine that you are actually doing such a thing. What a great civilization. But as you know, my coming here was a complete accident." , besides, the spaceship has been destroyed, and I have no way to go back."

Spock chose to believe Yue Yuanzhou's words with reservation.

"Is there no other way? Are you sure you're not lying to me, Spock?" Yue Yuanzhou raised his eyebrows.

Spock said seriously: "Vulcans never tell lies. You may not have heard of them from other universes."

"But humans can!" Yue Yuanzhou replied.

He means that Spock is half human, which leads to Spock talking nonsense. Old Spock also heard about this, but he didn't express anything.

Yue Yuanzhou continued: "As far as I know, you took the initiative to travel through time, but I won't force you. Since you don't want to say it, forget it. I think we will wait at most a hundred years before we can see the young Shi Bo in this universe. We can travel through time again. This little time actually doesn’t matter to us who have a long-term view, but we just don’t want to waste it on waiting.”

"And you should also know that you and them, who are young now, have been doing what you have done, but it is slightly different. After all, it is a parallel universe! Don't you want to return to your own universe?"

Of course, Spock knew about the multiverse theory. At that time, he thought he was in the past, but now that Yue Yuanzhou said it, he was more and more sure that this was another parallel universe. A universe created by traveling through time

Will there be parallel universes created every time we travel through time?

Old Spock suddenly felt that if this was the case, wouldn't there be many parallel universes born?

Old Spock is old, but his mind is still very flexible. He feels that he came here because he fell into red matter and opened a space-time wormhole. At that time, he and Kirk traveled through the past and sent the extinct humpback whales to the future. This was achieved using warp speed and related space-time algorithms.

He didn't think much of it at the time, but now that he heard what Yue Yuanzhou said, he suddenly felt that the two should be different.

Thinking of this, Old Spock immediately thought that red matter was the key to his arrival here, and the method of making red matter would be mastered by Vulcans in the future, but the Vulcan star in this universe is gone.

Maybe there will be no red matter in this universe.

The Vulcan star in his own time and space can produce red matter, but only Vulcan scientists can do that. Old Spock is not omnipotent, so he really doesn't know how to create red matter.

From Yue Yuanzhou's words, old Spock also knew that Spock in the current time and space, including the Enterprise, should still be under the surveillance of the Shenzhou civilization.

"Perhaps we can't go back. There is an old saying on earth: once you come, you will be at ease."

After Old Spock said this, he paused and said, "How is Spock?"

Of course Yue Yuanzhou knew that the Spock the old Spock was talking about was the young Spock, and he also thought that these were probing words, but he didn't care.

So Yue Yuanzhou stretched out his left hand with the palm upward, and then a holographic projection appeared from his palm.

When Old Spock saw Yue Yuanzhou's actions, he turned around and looked over, only to see the figure of young Spock appearing in the projection. At this time, the Enterprise discovered another primitive civilization, and young Spock was recording everything about this primitive civilization on the Enterprise.

Seeing this scene and the appearance of this primitive civilization, old Spock thought of himself back then. It was really similar. He remembered that he had also encountered such a primitive civilization at that time.

As Old Spock watched, his thoughts began to wander. It was not until Yue Yuanzhou turned off the projection for a long time that he began to make any movement.

Perhaps thinking about the stakes, old Spock said: "Can you reach warp speed 10?"

"Infinitely close. You should understand that this universe does not allow reaching warp speed 10."

Old Spock nodded. This was the first time he had heard this statement that the universe does not allow it. He continued: "It is hard to imagine that you who have such heights have not found a way to travel through time."

Yue Yuanzhou didn't care about what Spock said. He smiled and replied: "A ruler is long and an inch is short. We are not omnipotent."

"Are there many people in the universe who have reached the same level of exploration rules as you?" Old Spock seemed curious.

Yue Yuanzhou did not answer directly, but said: "Civilizations are different, and the special technologies derived from their specialties are also very different. The universe is so vast and empty, and a civilization that has reached a certain height is actually very difficult to find as long as it does not actively expose itself. Just like us, if we don’t want to appear in front of the Interstellar Federation, they will never know that we exist.”

"I understand." Old Spock nodded, and then spoke out the warp formula he used to travel through time.

Seeing this, Yue Yuanzhou nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the dying old Spock and said, "You are a wise Vulcan. We don't take things from our friends in vain, but we don't know what you need in return, so we ask for them." What’s your opinion? How about giving you another five hundred years?”

"Hahaha" Old Spock suddenly laughed, which was very un-Vulcan. After he finished laughing, he sighed: "Five hundred years, it is indeed very attractive to an old man like me."

Old Spock finally confirmed in his heart that Yue Yuanzhou really came from a higher-level civilization. He continued: "But my time has passed. If possible, I am willing to give these five hundred years to New Vulcan."

"As you wish, New Vulcan will be disaster-free and prosperous for the next five hundred years." Yue Yuanzhou nodded. It would be okay to take care of Vulcan. He had this arrangement in the first place.

Besides, now he actually admires old Spock. He gave up his five hundred years for his own race.

Maybe he felt that it was his own fault that caused the Vulcan star in this universe to be destroyed, causing the Vulcan people to wither now, Yue Yuanzhou secretly said.
