The Milky Way is so big that it takes a hundred thousand years for light to travel from one end to the other. If you want to unify the galaxy, you will definitely need the high technology of super-light communication.
Even a fifth-level civilization cannot run from one end to the other in an instant. Running around is too strenuous. According to human analysis of the detector ruins, the hyperspace engine of a level five civilization can reach a speed of one hundred times the speed of light.
One hundred times the speed of light sounds very scary, but facing the huge galaxy, it is still too slow.
As for why the super-light speed communication site should be built near a black hole, it may be because the black hole itself has extremely high gravity, distorts space to the extreme, and has certain spatial properties unknown to humans. Wasn't the Abel Ring, which Zhang Yuan had seen in the Hicks civilization, also near the black hole?
Maybe black holes can be connected to so-called "wormholes" and are a natural place for super-light communication?
This discovery has aroused the interest of many communication scientists and physicists. As the most extreme celestial body in the universe, black holes have not been well studied and people do not know much about them.
If black holes can really be connected to wormholes, can they be used to "travel" to other parallel universes, or to teleport to very distant extragalactic galaxies in an instant?
"Or find a way to study black holes?"
"But, what methods can be used to study it?"
"What about cosmic strings? What do you think would happen if a certain cosmic string happened to pass through a black hole?"
"Interesting, very interesting!"
The combination of cosmic strings and black holes must be a small probability event. Human beings have not discovered such a star structure so far. The Milky Way may not even exist.
I will not go into detail about these miscellaneous physical conjectures for the time being. If they really want to speak freely, these scientists can talk about the same thing for three days and three nights.
Finally, Captain Feng slammed the table and said loudly: "In short, because of the discovery of the 'Hawking Ring', we have to start again. It is too dangerous to continue to stay here. Now all the heritage in this place has been cleared It's over, there's no benefit in staying here."
"The location of Hawking's ring is about 1.4 light-years away from here. We have been here for more than a year... If when we had a war with strong artificial intelligence, strong artificial intelligence sent a distress signal, theoretically, Something wrong in the Hawking ring is about to get a signal, and no one knows what will happen."
"Yes, it is true..."
Although scientists are very interested in Hawking's ring, that artificial structure is being constructed rapidly, and its defense power is not comparable to that of a small detector base. If you really think you have a basic grasp of the digital virus, just rush over and spy on it, and make sure you die without even a bone left!
So after some discussion, everyone was able to give up the idea.
The truth is to leave as soon as possible.
…
"Stay here for the last three days!"
Zhang Yuan enjoyed the good times of the New Year very much. He made a small amount of money in the Jiuzhou trading market and sponsored some poor Gliese students to travel to the space port.
For these pangolins, going to the space port and embracing the wider sky is currently the most cost-effective way of education.
As for money... For Zhang Yuan, who has maintained a well-off life for a long time, there is really too much money, and thousands of years of accumulation cannot cover it.
The future prospects are still unclear, but remaining cautiously optimistic has always been his attitude towards life.
"Where are we going next?" Lin Xuanxuan asked. She looked at the stars in the sky. The Milky Way was very big, but under the influence of a powerful civilization, it seemed not so big.
No one knows whether intelligent life in the galaxy will get better or worse in the future. The universe never cares about so-called "good" and "bad." It doesn't even care about the definition of good and bad. Only intelligent life cares about good and bad. If you think it is good, then it is good; if you think it is bad, it is bad.
Zhang Yuan said: "We should go to the edge of the Milky Way, which should be safer. We still need more time to develop, and we also need to look for overlapping stars of cosmic strings and black holes..."
"However, we will not leave the Milky Way directly. Although we have battle stars and can spend a lot of time to barely cross the Milky Way, the time to cross the Milky Way is too long, and we do not know the situation outside the Milky Way. How about it, maybe it's even worse than the Milky Way…"
Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and said again: "According to the information obtained from the Dyson sphere, the activity range of each level 5 civilization is closer to the center of the galaxy, so there are more high-level civilization heritage in the center of the galaxy, and even level 5 civilizations will be produced. A clash of civilizations...but we won't take that risk anymore."
Although stars are relatively sparse at the edge of the Milky Way, due to the low frequency of supernova explosions, the probability of life being born will be greater.
Astronomers have found a more suitable path through star road maps.
This path is basically yellow dwarf stars, with more intelligent life. People can absorb more potential species along the way and join the entire alliance; on the other hand, the new human civilization must become a level five civilization as soon as possible!
Whether it is the memory template method of the people in the hemisphere, or whether you find a way to find another way, you must do it as soon as possible!
Zhang Yuan sighed and said: "Didn't you notice? The army is already undergoing the final reorganization work. In three days, after the New Year, we will start again."
Lin Xuanxuan also said: "I hope everything will be fine in the future."
"Yeah, everything's fine."
…
Three days later, the alliance was ready to start again.
This star field can be said to be a lucky place for human beings. Human beings have promoted the collision of neutron stars here and become a true level four civilization.
Here again, the entire alliance broke through a detection base of the Aleph civilization and obtained part of the technology of the fifth-level civilization. I believe that this technological dividend will continue for decades or hundreds of years to come.
But here, the Toss civilization, an old friend of mankind, encountered disaster. Until now, people still don't know how many giant salamanders escaped this disaster, and they don't know whether they have the possibility of restarting civilization and rebuilding its glory, or whether they have been unable to recover because of it...
All in all, this incident reminds everyone that the environment of the Milky Way has undergone major changes. It is no longer as peaceful and relaxed as before. All civilizations will be ruthlessly cleaned up by the Aleph civilization. Level 4 civilizations still have the possibility of escape and sinking. Those who are involved will definitely be cleaned up.
So, it's time to start again.
Everyone has packed up their New Year mood and returned to normal work.
For the Gliese people who have recently joined the Alliance, this is their first experience of warp navigation. They have been here for a year, and they know how vast the world is and how small they are.
The days of sitting in a small cave and happily playing in the mud no longer exist...
There is always the 80/20 rule in the world. When they come to this world, they feel too many new facts. There are many ordinary individuals who are attracted by the colorful world. What they see is a better way of entertainment here. , enjoy higher benefits, and hope to improve your life through your own efforts.
But there are also a small number of Gliese people who have developed a deep awe of nature, the universe and destiny.
Maintaining a humble and curious mind is the first step to fight against sinking...
A pangolin's pitch-black eyes looked into the distance, with dim starlight reflected in its pupils. His name was Kadofo, the most outstanding mathematician of the Gliese civilization, and the initiator of the foundation within the Gliese civilization.
As the highest-status individual in the entire civilization, he deeply knows that compared to the civilization of the sect, the entire civilization is weak, so weak that it cannot even produce a car or even a tire.
However, most people in civilization do not know it.
And the suzerain civilization is not the most powerful civilization in the galaxy, but it is also tirelessly pursuing the distance. This kind of spiritual quality made him feel shocked and awed.
The curvature engine started, and all the starlight was concentrated in the front, but behind it was pitch black.
The same is true for the pace of civilization. If you don't chase the front, you will be quickly swallowed by darkness.
