Voyage of the Stars

If a theory can explain the actual universal physical phenomena, it is considered to be correct, not all phenomena in all fields. Just like classical mechanics, it cannot explain the phenomena in the quantum field, but it is still correct in the phenomena in the macroscopic world.

In the various mechanical relationships involved in daily life, and even the calculation of planetary gravity, humans still use classical mechanical equations, and these things are the same whether on Earth or in other places in the universe.

The theory proposed by human scientists now is the same. It is not applicable to the various mechanical relationships involved in daily life, but it is applicable to the environment of the black hole photon ball and even the event horizon, so in this respect it is also applicable to any black hole.

This is the isotropy of the universe. No matter where in the universe, the physical rules are the same. Of course, artificial changes are not counted, just like the rhombus crystals of the pioneers told humans that quantum entanglement could be used for long-distance communication in the past but cannot be used now. That is the result of interference from a certain god-level civilization.

If the pioneers had not left this message, the civilizations in the Milky Way or the civilizations born in the large star field near the entire Milky Way would not know about this. In this case, one day when they travel far to other areas where the quantum entanglement rules may not have been modified, they will doubt the spatial isotropy principle that they have always believed to be correct.

Once this principle is overturned, the cosmological view of this civilization will change dramatically, which may cause this civilization to give up on itself, think that exploring the unknown is futile and eventually perish, and of course it may also lead this civilization to another path and give birth to another extreme cosmic sociology.

Time flies, forty years have passed in a flash. If it were in the Earth era, such a long time would be enough for a person to experience vicissitudes, but in today's human society, forty-year-olds must still be in school. In the eyes of normal people, it is just a flash of time.

However, during this period of time, humans have completed the exploration of this black hole, not all of it, but all the exploration that can be done within the scope of their own scientific and technological capabilities. The theory of the physical rules of the black hole photon ball has also been developed from germination to a relatively complete theory during this period.

At the same time, humans have also obtained forty years of close-range black hole observation data.

Whether it is theoretical or actual detection data, it is the wealth of mankind. Although human technological creations cannot cross the innermost stable circular orbit, cannot really get involved in the photon sphere, and cannot step into the event horizon and the black hole, these data will also lay a solid foundation for human exploration of black holes in the future.

This experience of close exploration of black holes and the data obtained can be obtained relatively easily by wandering civilizations. Of course, you must be lucky enough to encounter a black hole during your cosmic journey, just like humans. Or you can go on a long voyage to explore black holes. If settled civilizations want to obtain these data, they must form a long-distance fleet to travel to the star field thousands of light years away.

Take humans as an example. If you can stay on Earth all the time, then if you start a black hole exploration scientific research mission, you have to form a large fleet to travel 2,800 light years away to reach the nearest black hole.

Obviously, the navigation technology of the third-level civilization is difficult to achieve, because it means a long voyage of more than 6,000 years. After all, the time for supply and maintenance must be counted, and it may be even longer if you encounter some cosmic emergencies.

Only a Level 4 civilization can effectively carry out long-distance voyages of this scale.

However, on the other hand, as long as civilization wants to progress and continue to improve its technological level, long-distance voyages are necessary. Even if the main civilization does not go, it must send out scientific expedition fleets to explore, because perhaps the embryo of a certain pre-scientific and technological thought is hidden in a special celestial body in the vast sea of ​​stars.

Perhaps the proposal of a certain scientific and technological theory requires close observation of black holes or other special celestial bodies to obtain relevant data.

This black hole exploration not only allows humans to obtain tangible scientific data, but also makes human leaders realize the value of these data. The leaders even think that if there is really the legendary fair interstellar trading market, these observation data may be sold.

Where there is market demand, there will be related products.

Just like the life potion, alloy materials, scientific and technological information, scientific and technological creations, biosphere resources, etc. that people know, after all, news can become a commodity. Humans still remember that they sold false news to the Nair civilization.

Even so, humans actually have a good impression of the Nair civilization. It is the first civilization of the same level that lives in peace with humans. Unfortunately, the starry sea is vast, and it is difficult to meet again since they parted in the past. Moreover, humans have now left the Orion Arm, so it is even more difficult to meet.

But it doesn't matter. Now humans also have a Nair civilization here, of course they are not the real Nair civilization. It's just that these Nair people miss their civilization, so they didn't change the name of the civilization.

In the past forty years, in addition to exploring black holes, humans have docked in nearby star systems to replenish various resources. After forty years of stable development, human civilization and even the entire Star Alliance's ships are filled with various supplies, and various matters related to the establishment of the Star Alliance have also been improved in these years, so it's time to set off again.

The destination has not changed, and it is still heading to the location shown on the star map along the originally planned route.

This is the last leg of the journey. After setting off, the Star Alliance, led by human civilization, is extremely cautious. Every time they arrive at a star system, there will be a detection team to explore the way first. These are all exploration tasks accepted by the member civilizations of the Star Alliance. There are also detection ships patrolling the route of the fleet.

These things are now mostly carried out by the member civilizations of the Star Alliance. They are like the marching scouts of the Star Alliance, traveling between the Star Alliance fleet and the exploration area. With their constant patrols, the vision of the Star Alliance fleet has been greatly increased, and the possibility of being attacked by other civilizations has been reduced to the minimum.

The performance of the Star Alliance, led by humans, that is, the Star Alliance, seems to have some cosmic forces.

The star road is long, one light year after another, hundreds of light years after hundreds of light years. With the crossing of distances, the planned route has also been traveled by humans in the first half. The journey here is no different from the previous journey. I still haven't encountered other civilizations, nor have I encountered life planets.

This feels great. As long as the last 800 light years can be maintained, then the human race's journey across the spiral arm will be perfectly completed.

But there is no coincidence in the world.
