Start a Subspace

Dr. Xia Yu pondered for a while and continued: I will not consider the safety issue for the time being. Unless we really run over and have a look, it is unprovable. But if my conjecture is true, it means there is no next time Time and space are turbulent. It is impossible for us to leave this universe and wander again!

The space-time turbulence we encountered more than a year ago was not an accident, but an inevitable phenomenon caused by the Big Bang of the nascent universe. The groundbreaking energy level led to the birth of space-time turbulence, which blew us into this area of ​​sparse matter. .”

Therefore, it will be very difficult for us to use the next time-space turbulence to go to areas where three-dimensional debris is denser.

We may have to wait tens of thousands or millions of years for the emergence of a naturally reborn universe. Humanity's current technology cannot predict this time period.

So we currently have only a few choices, either choose to believe this piece of information and go to the black hole to see the situation first. Of course, we need to take a very big risk. We may encounter many enemies, or we may encounter one Higher civilizations lay traps.”

Or you can only choose not to believe it and spend a huge amount of time traveling to high-dimensional space to try your luck in finding the remaining three-dimensional fragments. According to the speed of our Oriental Rock, it will take 600 years to move one light-year distance. Every few seconds You only get the chance to win the lottery once in a thousand years.”

Perhaps all lottery tickets lead to this strange universe we have now.

If there is a breakthrough in technology in the future, it may be faster... But if you want to go faster, you must reach the level of a fifth-level civilization. This is not possible in the short term...

Or you can stay here for a long time and develop technology. With the resources brought by the Blue and Gold Era Alliance, we will not be short of materials in a short time. After we have enough combat power, we can go there and have a look.

Dr. Xia's words poured cold water on everyone's heads.

If there is no next time-space turbulence, human beings will really have to endure the turtle crawling speed, crawl slowly in the high-dimensional universe, and spend thousands of years to touch the lottery ticket...

Obviously impossible!

Even if the current material reserves are relatively sufficient, this kind of sailing speed is not something humans can endure.

Thousands of years are too long. What if the Oriental Rock is destroyed in some disaster? What if we encounter any natural or man-made disaster?

Humanity has encountered so many crises in just a dozen years in the high-dimensional universe. Thousands of years are really an unimaginably long time. What if we encounter some devourer or destroyer? I really can’t eat and walk around.

When he thought of this, Zhang Ran felt a deep sense of worry in his heart.

He didn't know how to choose.

But at this moment, he suddenly received a message from Lin Qiuyue.

There are only a few sentences above: Maybe it is to create the 'Ultimate', a life form at the cosmic level. I finally understand why it is called the 'Ultimate' because its neural network is composed of cosmic strings. At this level, there can be no civilization more powerful than it.

Lin Qiuyue sent another photo, which is the distribution of cosmic strings on a cosmic scale.

Zhang Ran raised his head and suddenly felt a numb scalp.

Looking at this kind of information on hand, the more I think about it, the more I think... it's possible!

Especially the second image, how come the densely packed cosmic strings in the newborn universe look so much like a super-large neural network?

Is this new universe the ultimate civilization created by man? !

In this indescribable shock, his mind was buzzing and he was in a daze for a long time.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He took a few glances at the information and whispered: Share this piece of information with our allies... Let's all think about it together and then make a decision.

We don't need to be too anxious. Even if this carbon universe is real, with our mobility, we won't be able to get there in a while. It doesn't matter if it's one day earlier or one day later.

He paused for a while: But I still prefer the third option at the moment. Stay in the void for a period of time to tap out all human potential and transform it into combat effectiveness.

We are so short of time right now.

Not long after, the leaders of the Blue and Gold Era Alliance also received the news. Amidst the shock that was difficult to describe in words, a new round of more lively discussions began.

The black hole 0.42 light-years away is placed there, and the Hawking radiation signal it emits can be observed at any time. With a simple deciphering method, the corresponding image can be obtained.

Immediately afterwards, scientists from both sides discovered another very strange conclusion: The physical constants of the current universe are changing slightly!

This change is extremely weak, not a change of one day or two, and even current instruments are difficult to accurately measure. But it has been almost two years since humans came here, and these two years have changed the scope by about one billionth.

“…the physical constants are slowly shifting in the direction of the carbon universe.”

It is expected that in fifty years' time, the physical rules of our universe will be completely consistent with those of our carbon universe. By then, matter will not undergo chemical transformation, and carbon-based life will be able to live normally in this universe.

The slow deviation of physical rules is most likely caused by the advanced civilization of the carbon universe.

Because Lanhua is actually a process of entropy increase, which is spontaneous. The law of entropy increase is basically a universal law in all major universes. This law only does not apply at singular points. The current physical rules, from the silicon universe to the carbon universe, are a counter-entropic process.

In the natural environment, it is difficult for this special situation to occur.

But why do high-level civilizations spend so much effort to change the rules to the type of carbon universe? This is not a new carbon universe. This is just a former battlefield...

The two sides pondered for a long time before coming to a barely reliable conclusion: in order to maximize the combat effectiveness of the Carbon Universe camp!

In a carbon universe environment, carbon-based technology can reach its strongest form, and life can survive more easily.

In this aspect, silicon-based products will cause slight discomfort.

Under the ebb and flow of one another, the combat power of the Carbon Universe camp will be maximized!

All the participating members were shocked after analyzing this matter. Even this kind of technology that can change the rules of physics has appeared, and it feels like a storm is coming.

But even if the combined strength of humans and the Blue-Gold Age Alliance is just two little ants!

So there are still 50 years left... Zhang Ran smiled bitterly, In 50 years, this place will become a carbon universe and a real battlefield.

Immediately afterwards, the god-created civilization Poison Pattern Civilization, that is, those octopus people, told a fable that has been circulated for a long time in history with a shocked look on their faces.

[...We are like an old man who yearns to explore, using bright red paint to create. 】

【Simple wisdom cannot satisfy our thirst,】

[Although many drivers salivate for it, it lies quietly in the void,]

[As the inheritance of wisdom, receiving a double love for life does not make the hero a slave of life. 】

[Cherishing is not only its ornament, but also adds glory to the driver. 】

[Just like this, we use our own virtues and our fighting spirit without fear of sacrifice,]

[Blood soaked its strong brain. 】

[It will become the ultimate, the ultimate end of all wars. 】

Glutathione

This nonsensical fable was difficult to understand in the past.

But looking at it now, it seems to reveal the fact that if a war breaks out, the octopus people must participate in the war no matter how weak their abilities are.

This divinely created race started an internal discussion after telling this fable. Some leaders were very excited, as if they had been stimulated by something, and created their civilization, existing like gods in their culture...

Dear friends, since our creator has made a revelation, we choose to participate in this war as soon as possible.

We will arrive at our destination as quickly as possible. We are needed on the battlefield. The octopus man, who has always been gentle, actually became tough this time.

Something seemed to be awakening deep in their genes, allowing them to make this difficult choice.

I'm sorry, this is a choice within our race. Even though we are very weak... we still decided to participate in the battle... We have some inherited weapons from higher civilizations, which should be able to come in handy.

The Octopus Man's last secret is a weapon of mass destruction called a gravity bomb. It is useless against ghost bodies, but it will shine in a real interstellar war.

The human side was stunned for a moment after hearing the other party's choice. Zhang Ran didn't expect that the octopus man would be so impulsive and directly choose to join the war.

The leader of the Blue-Gold Era Alliance, Kachajin, also looked at the octopus men with some worry.

It has only been two short years since the last catastrophe, and their alliance's recovery level is not even one-tenth of what it was at its peak, and it will take a lot of time to recover.

As for the signals sent by higher-order civilizations... In the past, no matter how tempting it was, they would not have taken excessive risks to pursue this opportunity...

But now those octopus men are going crazy and want to join the battle, with a very tough attitude. Is it possible that the alliance that has been maintained for three thousand years will be split because of this?

After a long discussion, he said to Zhang Ran very worriedly: Leader of human civilization, we have no experience in contact with high-level civilizations. The most powerful civilization we have ever encountered is only a fourth-level civilization... …”

But now one of our own races insists on joining the war...

After discussion, we also agreed to join the war. There is already a lot of evidence that this camp war is real. We need to rush to the black hole as soon as possible to support the battlefield there.

Zhang Ran didn't know whether Kachajin's choice was correct. He swallowed and said, We still have a lot of room for progress. The brain chip technology developed based on the principle of brain in a vat can take us one step further. It is even possible to reach level four civilization standards.”

As for the black hole battlefield, we can first send some unmanned detectors to detect the situation there. There is no need to rush there, right?

Kachajin said: Alas, the leader of human civilization is not as simple as you think. It is not just the Poison Pattern Civilization that wants to participate in the war. The culture promoted by our alliance is a high moral culture... The so-called high morality is It is artificially created and needs to be maintained and maintained all the time. If you are not careful, there is a risk of falling back to low morality.

Faction war is an absolutely just war in our eyes. Making contributions to the camp is the high moral spirit we advocate.

Once we don't choose to join the war, the high moral culture of our alliance will likely collapse. After all, fear of life and death is an absolutely abhorrent behavior in our culture.

Zhang Ran swallowed, somewhat understanding the other party's choice. In fact, high moral culture is a kind of political correctness. The Blue and Gold Era Alliance cannot go against the political correctness that it has spent 3,000 years shaping.

Kachajin continued: But you don't have to worry too much. We are 0.42 light-years away from the black hole. Even if we travel at the highest speed, it will take fifty, sixty or even hundreds of years to get there. During this time The development is enough for us to resume production and become stronger.”

He suddenly thought of something: Dear human friends, is your civilization willing to accept some newborn children?

Even if we fail, our genes can be passed on. No matter what culture or lifestyle they choose, we won't care. We just ask you to treat them well.

Human civilization is also a civilization that aspires to progress. We have no doubt about this. It is also good to have an escape route.

Zhang Ran was really surprised. He thought about it for a while and sighed: I understand your choice. We will train these new children well, and we will let them inherit the culture of your alliance. .”

At this moment, he really admired the Yayan people who advocated spiritual eternity and ascetic culture.

I also admire this leader.

Which race is not afraid of death?

Naturally born carbon-based organisms are all afraid of death. This is a natural law.

A civilization that can overcome death may have jumped out of the genetic philosophy system to a certain extent...

But even with a role model, he still hasn't made up his mind. After all, human beings still have too much potential that has not yet been tapped.

And human society is absolutely unable to participate in a war of unknown intensity...

Kachajin said very understandingly: You don't have to feel guilty. It is a difficult decision to make. If there was no strong request from Poison Pattern Civilization, maybe we would choose to stay where we are and develop for a while.

Finally, I hope that your civilization can use electromagnetic ejection technology to send our small universe out at a higher speed.

Well, that's no problem.

According to the current electromagnetic ejection technology, the speed of sending a small detector can reach 3,000 kilometers per second, and it can reach the destination in 42 years.

If the small universe is sent, the speed is slightly lower, about 2000 kilometers per second, and it will reach the destination in 63 years.

This time period is acceptable for a civilization...

So after this meeting, in the next month, the Oriental Rock first sent a batch of high-speed detectors to spy on the movements of the black hole.

Immediately afterwards, the final wave of technology and resource transactions was carried out with the Blue and Gold Era Alliance.

The number of this transaction is extremely large, simply exceeding the total of the previous transactions. In the face of a survival crisis, there is no need to worry too much.

After that, the two sides said goodbye reluctantly.

Zhang Ran and the leaders of the other party shook hands one by one and said goodbye.

It was probably a permanent farewell, resulting in a very solemn atmosphere.

Don't worry, friends of mankind, it will take more than sixty years for us to travel there.

We will deliver the information back to the battlefield in a timely manner.

If we encounter an enemy that is difficult to resist, we will also jump into the black hole. So don't worry about us.

Zhang Ran nodded slightly, We will also develop ourselves as quickly as possible to arrive at the battlefield as soon as possible.

In addition to the lack of trade in the four-dimensional protective cover, some of the good things on the human side, including high-dimensional silicon crystals, have also been traded, which actually doesn't help much.

It was also on this afternoon that the Oriental Rock launched the Blue and Gold Era Alliance's small universe in the direction of the black hole through an electromagnetic catapult.

As the small universe left at high speed, it announced that the short alliance career had come to an end for the time being...

What awaits mankind is...an unknown and confused tomorrow.
