Road to science and technology

"Young civilization, although you have cracked the method of entering here, but if you want to know the truth about the darkness of this universe, you still need to confirm some things, because we are not sure whether your civilization born 20 billion years later will have enough Enterprising. Civilizations that are not enterprising enough will be led into corruption by this news and eventually perish. According to my creator's settings, I must ask you a few questions first."

"Don't worry, our civilization sincerely hopes that there will be a latecomer who can re-enter the road of breaking out of the prison."

Yue Yuanzhou is not interested in the truth about the universe told by the artificial intelligence of degenerate civilization, but he thinks that since this extinct civilization still leaves such a large warehouse, does it mean that there will also be some technology, such as this Civilized gravity technology.

According to what this artificial intelligence said, they can actually create a gravitational source and gather interstellar gas and dust. This fact makes Yue Yuanzhou very interested. Now he can achieve gravitational shielding, and making a gravitational source is not something he can do in theory. It can be done, but it has not been practiced. In his imagination, the principle of warp drive could be used to distort space and time to create a gravitational effect.

This time he had the opportunity to encounter this degenerate civilization. If he had that kind of technology, he could just refer to it.

There is also the technology to create a small universe. What Yue Yuanzhou lacks now is the technology to create a small universe membrane, which can be embedded in the large universe without being noticed. Even if he hadn't been cut before, he wouldn't have been able to find it.

"go ahead!"

After Yue Yuanzhou sent the information, the artificial intelligence started asking questions as it was set.

"What do you think of this universe? From what purpose do you strive to enter here?"

"A dark universe. As for why we are here, it is all accident and curiosity."

Seeing that the question was not about where you came from and where you are going, Yue Yuanzhou answered very simply, but what he said was the truth.

And the artificial intelligence of the degenerate civilization said without hesitation: "Very good, no matter how you answer, it doesn't matter, because you have only been here for so many years, and this system has reached the emergency level." It’s time for a mechanism, and asking questions is just a matter of process.”

"Don't be anxious, you have to be mentally prepared, because there is a reason why our universe is dark. When it comes to the truth of the universe, we have to talk about this warehouse of civilization. When our civilization was glorious, the stars gathered were enough to illuminate The dark universe thousands of light-years away is like us bringing light to the universe, and the various stars we light up are moving around the giant attraction source. At that time, our civilization once thought that we were the masters of the universe."

"You are intelligent beings. You should be able to imagine that within 200,000 light years, only our civilization lights up thousands of stars to illuminate the universe. Except for us, other places are still dark, but as mentioned before, we I don’t know what the darkness is two hundred thousand light years away.”

Yue Yuanzhou saw whether this artificial intelligence would stop for a while until he finished talking about the greatness of their civilization. He also wanted to use some of their technology for free, thinking that it might be triggered by some program, so he continued to be patient. Listen.

"The Academy of Civilization and Science at that time made a great guess after studying the universe we live in for tens of millions of years, that is, there is one or even more giant attractors outside the endless darkness. They speculated that these giant attractors There may be a large amount of material that can be ignited to become stars just like here within a dozen or twenty light-years range."

"At that time, this conjecture, which was completely opposite to the cosmic phenomena we observed, was not taken seriously by civilization. It was not until about 10,000 years after the conjecture appeared that our sensitive detectors detected gravitational waves that lasted for hundreds of years. Later, according to the Academy of Sciences, It is calculated that this gravitational wave comes from the darkness about more than 30 million light-years away. This news immediately reminds civilization of the conjecture of that year, and it proves that this conjecture is correct."

"Our universe is composed of countless material regions tens of millions of light years apart. After confirming this conjecture, we once despaired. However, under the leadership of the wise and powerful civilization leaders at that time, civilization rekindled its fighting spirit, and the continuation of civilization was Put it first, so our degenerate civilization began a vigorous exploration of endless darkness. Unfortunately, no matter how many expedition teams went out, no matter how advanced the spaceships were, they were all gone forever, and every spaceship stopped at the end. Before running, the same quantum message was sent - insufficient energy!"

"The endless darkness is like a behemoth of the abyss, swallowing up countless civilization explorers. We have tried every means, whether it is time and space jumps, warp navigation, or even bringing stars with us to explore, but there is no doubt that all It failed. The more mass it carries, the greater the mass. The greater the mass, the more energy it consumes to propel its navigation. This seems to have become an infinite loop. Now you already know that our exploration failed. The endless darkness is like the sea, we cannot reach it. Another island!”

"But this is not despair. After millions of years of exploration by our civilization, another distant gravitational wave was detected. This gravitational wave lasted for more than a thousand years. When the Academy of Sciences calculated the distance, we were desperate. Because according to calculations, this gravitational wave produced by the merger of giant attractors is 50 million light-years away from us. We can’t go even 30 million light-years, let alone 50 million light-years! But this is not the most desperate The most desperate thing is that after thousands of years of gravitational wave observation, the Academy of Sciences at that time discovered that the source of gravitational waves is moving away from us at an extremely fast speed! But we don’t know why, why they are moving away from us! "

This should be the truth about the universe discovered by the degenerate civilization. Yue Yuanzhou, Karl, and Azui listened quietly. No one laughed at this civilization. It is already great for a civilization born in this period of time to discover the picture of the universe.

At this time, the artificial intelligence continued to follow the instructions of its maker, saying without any hesitation: "This is the truth of the universe we have discovered. The 'island' is far away from us. Our civilization will never reach the next 'island'. People In despair, they began to give up on themselves. After using up the materials they had worked so hard to collect here, there was no way to survive. As a result, hedonism prevailed and civilization gradually lost its heart for exploration. However, superb artificial intelligence technology provided people with convenience. Service, gradually fewer and fewer people learn new knowledge. As generations of people die, science gradually begins to fall apart. So civilization begins to regress."

"Twelve million years later, civilization is hopeless, so the plan to seal civilization was launched. Following the instructions of the creator, I sealed the last batch of degenerates who still had the ambition to make progress into the most advanced freezing warehouse. In order to look forward to the civilization that will inherit all the resources in our warehouse in the future, continue to step on our shoulders to further explore the endless darkness. We only hope that when you know why they left us, you can awaken the few remaining ones. Degenerate people, tell them why.”

"The universe was obviously born from darkness, and gravity obviously pulls every 'island' in existence. Why are they so far away from each other almost as if they repel each other as soon as they are born!"

"A warehouse of materials that we collected in order to explore the unknown during our most powerful period has also decayed. Only these four dying red dwarfs are left. If you are short of energy, just take it. They can still burn for at least tens of thousands of years. .”

"We have been waiting for a long time, and finally we have arrived at the future civilization. Unfortunately...the people who have been waiting for the answer have fallen asleep forever because they have been waiting for too long. The answer has no meaning to my creator, the degenerate civilization."

"Fortunately, the creators have considered this situation. This is the last request of our degenerate civilization: If future civilizations find these remaining resources helpful, then please remember that there was once a civilization that struggled for 300 million years to explore the dark truth of the universe. Forty million years, this civilization is called a degenerate civilization!”

"We died on the way to explore the dark universe, but we want to work hard to live in the memory of future civilizations!"

The artificial intelligence has finished speaking. This is the truth about degenerate civilization. Yue Yuanzhou looked at Ah Zhui and Karl who were silent. They must also know that degenerate civilization did not know why from its birth to its demise. Degenerate civilization is indeed Knowing the truth but not knowing why, they are still one step away from the answer.
