Voyage of the Stars

It has to be said that the pioneers really like to set up tests. After entering the real microcosm, humans still haven't found what they left behind. The scene detected by the detector is just like the previous maze, all rhombus crystals.

There are differences, but it seems that the rhombus crystals are just enlarged, and each rhombus crystal contains a red dwarf star.

With such detection results, Yue Yuan even suspected that it was still a maze, and a bigger maze. Because as time goes by, humans get more and more information about this microcosm, and they also know the approximate size of the microcosm.

Its diameter is about 937 light years.

It is really too big. With the third-generation warp speed navigation technology that humans now master, it will take at least 25 years to run from one end to the other. Compared with the hundreds of years of navigation in the past, it is short, but it is very long for humans with limited resources.

And wanting to find the things left by the pioneers in such a huge microcosm seems to be no different from finding a needle in a haystack. Just think about how desperate it is.

At this moment, many humans have the urge to curse.

If you give something, then give it. If you don't give it directly, you really can't solve the mystery and find the thing. I'm afraid you'll lose yourself.

If Yue Yuan knew that it was such a pitfall, he probably wouldn't come back no matter what. But now that things have come to this, time can't be reversed, so we can only bite the bullet.

But where to start?

The leadership and relevant scientists on the Tianqin, the first fleet of mankind, held several rounds of meetings and finally decided to start the analysis from the monochromatic light refracted by each large rhombus crystal, because before the meeting, mankind had tried several large rhombus crystals, all of which were solid.

So most experts believe that the secret should be hidden in different types of monochromatic light spectra. Therefore, they plan to repeat the old trick, let the detector collect spectral information, and then have the computer summarize and analyze it to see if there are any clues.

Humans think that the pioneers have already tested it once, and if it is tested again this time, it may not be the same as last time, otherwise it will be meaningless.

Therefore, some people also believe that there is actually no test at all. Maybe it won't be long before the intelligent system left by the pioneers will come to the door by itself. After all, humans have passed the test and entered the small universe, and they are already qualified successors.

It has to be said that this statement has a little truth, but in the eyes of most people, it is just a flat statement.

However, just when humans were still struggling to explore all possible information, the detector sent back a message that shocked everyone, or an image.

It was a place about 64 light years away from the location of the first fleet of mankind at the moment, specifically next to a large diamond crystal.

At first, the detector only found that the light emitted by the large diamond crystal was a little abnormal, but when it got closer, it found that this place was very different from other places.

There, the detector photographed a pile of ruins, to be precise, a pair of ruins formed by dilapidated spaceships, warships and various space debris.

When they first saw the warship, Yue Yuan and his group were shocked. They thought they had encountered a dynamic picture civilization or an orange star civilization. After magnifying the video effect, they found that it was a ruin.

Later, as the probe got closer and closer, subsequent probes also came here from all directions to conduct exploration, and humans gradually saw the appearance of this ruin.

Looking at the overall situation, it is probably composed of a fleet of 180 million ships of various types. Judging from the alien structure of the ships, 40 million of them may be warships, and the other 140 million should be a collection of various types of spaceships.

They all have one thing in common, that is, all the spaceships are planetary warships.

Although the size of its ships is much smaller than that of human warships, about three-quarters of the size of human ships, they are definitely planetary warships. In other words, this is a fleet of a fourth-level civilization, no. Judging from the number, it may still be an entire fourth-level civilization.

The entire fleet exists around the large translucent diamond crystal, very close, but with a stable orbit. The ruins composed of all the warships and other creations are like countless floating leaves, moving on the orbit of a celestial body as large as a star.

Probably because the time is too long, the original appearance of many things can no longer be seen in the picture. Of course, the shapes of objects such as warships and spaceships can still be identified.

Based on this, after collecting enough data, humans began to use advanced computer technology to restore the picture. This kind of object restoration is not a random restoration, but a pseudo-restore of it in time based on various detailed information of the current object.

Of course, it is not a real restoration, but a computer simulation based on strong artificial intelligence.

As the picture refreshed several times, humans saw a glimpse of the past picture of this fourth-level civilization fleet, but the more they looked, the more frightened they were.

Because everyone saw a series of shocking and horrifying pictures.

This fleet seemed to have experienced the experience that humans mentioned casually not long ago. Their entire 180 million ships gathered on the large diamond lattice, and then deployed solar panels there. These solar panels are very familiar to humans. They are exactly the same as the solar panels developed in the 21st century, but here they are used in space.

The light-receiving surfaces of all solar panels face the diamond crystals, using the pitiful photoelectric effect to obtain energy.

In the partially restored images based on detailed information, humans saw that all the ships in this fleet were motionless, the warp engines had been extinguished for many years, and no antimatter annihilation images were seen.

They were like pieces of Dyson clouds, rotating around the diamond crystals, and were discovered by humans from the ancient past until now.

Because there is no detailed exploration, humans currently do not know how many years this ruin has experienced, but judging from the appearance of the ships that have been completely changed, it is probably more than tens of millions of years.

As the detectors observe more and more deeply, humans gradually have a judgment on this ruin.

They seemed to be a level 4 civilization that entered this small universe many years ago, and then they experienced many years here, and finally an energy crisis occurred. As a result, the entire civilization gathered around the diamond-shaped crystal that sealed the red dwarf star to keep warm, as if to survive the most difficult time.

This civilization must have come here to find the inheritance of the pioneers, but they failed in the end. They were trapped in this vast small universe, and finally could only hold the nearby star for warmth, and then for some unknown reason, they perished.

"A tomb of a civilization" Seeing this, someone murmured.
