Road to science and technology

Putting himself in his shoes, Yue Yuanzhou, who has experienced the desolate, despairing and lonely atmosphere of the degenerate universe, feels that it is understandable for the Returners to do this.

"Sit wherever you want!" Yue Yuanzhou said casually when he saw the person coming, sitting on the sofa and sipping red wine.

After the visitor bowed and sat down, he signaled to the other party that he didn't want a drink before he continued, "How about it? Do you think this is possible?"

"Thanks, I don't really like drinking."

The speaker was Yun Guangyu. He was originally writing the book called Shenjiao, but he rushed over immediately after receiving the speculative message from Yue Yuanzhou.

Because he had been thinking about it for a while on the road, he said without hesitation: "It must be like this. Before, I felt that the existence of stellar leapfrog technology was a bit unreasonable for this dark forest. It's just that I have been busy writing a book recently, so I haven’t paid much attention to it. Now that I think about it, it must be for this reason.”

"It stands to reason that the space-time jump and ultra-distance communication technology with a basic unit of two hundred light years are enough to break the dark forest. Even if there are differences in civilized species, it is impossible for the entire universe to be in the dark forest. So now it seems that this This picture must be deliberately created by the great civilization. It is beneficial to us to understand the real picture of the universe, so that we can know what can be done and what cannot be done."

"Well, yes, now it seems that our previous broadcast was a bit reckless!" Yue Yuanzhou put down his wine glass and sighed and continued: "I originally thought it was an ordinary dark forest, but who would have thought that it turned out to be a forest darker than a normal dark forest? , perhaps in the future we will try to use the Star Leap as little as possible, after all, that method is too conspicuous."

"It is true, that kind of behavior is like a firefly in the dark night, and should not be a large searchlight in the dark night."

After Yun Guangyu said this, he fell silent and seemed to be considering some possibilities. After a few seconds passed, he continued: "But it's not necessarily true. After all, we have the ability to leave at any time."

Yue Yuanzhou said: "Don't be blindly confident, it's hard to fathom a god-level civilization!"

Yun Guangyu nodded when he heard the words. He understood the meaning of these words, so he was silent for a while before saying: "So we try not to expose our trump cards. The universe is so big, and it is impossible for a great god to stare at one place all the time. I think as long as we are careful, even if we encounter trouble, we can still escape unexpectedly."

When Yun Guangyu said this, he glanced at Yue Yuanzhou and saw that he was still looking forward to tasting wine, so he returned to his previous insights about the picture of the universe: "Having said that, because we know the purpose, we can look at it in reverse. The behavior is much simpler, so I think it is normal for the Nullifiers to behave like this. On this basis, we can boldly speculate that the Nullifiers may be an organization. If they are an organization, they will try their best to eliminate the universe in order to restart the universe. Civilizations that cannot be eliminated or are allowed to grow accidentally, let them become a part of ourselves, and then restart the universe together."

"It is possible that they have restarted the universe more than once, so their behavior of annihilating other civilizations can also be understood as the minimum mass that restarts the universe has a value, which makes the remaining positions in the Zero Returner organization less and less. This has led to the fact that the universe that may not have been a dark forest before has been restarted more and more times, and there are more and more members of the Zeroers. Eventually, adding another one will have an impact on the restart of the universe, so the universe is getting darker and darker. Of course, Zeroers may also be a civilization, but I still prefer it to be an organization."

Yue Yuanzhou nodded. He also believed that it was more likely that the Zeroers were an organization.

After understanding the general picture, Yue Yuanzhou also understood why the law of the dark forest could not be broken. He had previously thought about establishing a feasible communication method in the universe, and then building large space bridges everywhere and setting up some technology trading markets. But now it seems that it is not feasible. If we do this, we will probably finish it the next day. Unless you have the ability to face someone who has just returned to zero, but this is obviously unrealistic.

From this point of view, those civilizations in the universe that shoot at other civilizations have tacit approval. The universe is too big, and Zeroers need more scavengers. Some of these scavengers are organized and some are spontaneous.

Yue Yuanzhou said: "The dark forest is inevitable! But we have nothing to fear. From the battle with the Pharaoh civilization, we can confirm that some basic black forest strikes are useless to us."

Yun Guangyu nodded proudly. A civilization that was fearless against basic Hessian attacks could at least be considered an advanced civilization in the universe.

Yue Yuanzhou discussed with Yun Guangyu for a long time about the picture of the universe.

A few hours later, watching Yun Guangyu leave the discussion, Yue Yuanzhou nodded with satisfaction, and then thought about the content of the conversation just now.

It seems that we need to pay more attention to our behavior in the future, at least not to engage in any interconnection, otherwise it will be over if the zeroers come to check the water meter.

After all, interconnection is equivalent to helping other civilizations communicate, which may lead to the collision of ideas and the explosion of technology. Then the rise of civilization means that more cosmic materials are used to build small universes. Wouldn’t that add to the problems of Zero Returners?

It is a good habit to plan ahead, and it is necessary to be prepared to run away at any time.

So Yue Yuanzhou sent this idea to the staff department.

As a result, it didn't take long for the staff department to come up with three plans for him.

Yue Yuanzhou was a little surprised that one escape plan could actually produce several plans.

So he opened it and read it. The first plan: seek to join the Zeroers to witness the restart of the universe. Below is a bunch of seemingly feasible operations, as well as statements that are beneficial to civilization...

The second plan is simple and clear. When in danger, directly retreat strategically, go to other worlds to develop and then come back to find a place. However, this must be done under the premise of possessing the world anchor technology, otherwise it will be difficult to come back.

The third plan is a tactical detour. At the beginning, it is said that the escape of the Shenzhou civilization is not an escape. It is a tactical retreat, and then a detour and counterattack!

Yes, it’s counterattack.

Of course, it is not a direct confrontation with Zero, but one that uses one's own advantages to prepare. As long as the Zero Returner has the tendency to make dangerous moves, he will become a porter and throw all the matter in this universe into the Sea of ​​Chaos. Then we will see who is in a hurry...

These three plans all have a premise, that is, the technology for cutting out the world must be effective.

After reading it, Yue Yuanzhou nodded with satisfaction, and then closed the projection screen showing the plan. At this moment, he was more determined to keep his trump card.

At the moment when Yue Yuanzhou crossed the two cantilevers, more than three thousand years of time in the universe had passed. It was also at this time that in the distant solar system of the Orion cantilever, an ancient civilization discovered the strangeness in the sky and took it Recorded in history.

In March of the first year of Jiayou's reign, Si Tianjian said: "The disappearance of the guest star is a sign that the guest has left." At the beginning, in the fifth month of the first year of Zhihe, I went out to the east in the morning and guarded Tianguan. During the day, I saw it was as white as the sky, with awns and horns sticking out in all directions, and the color was red and white. Every day on the twenty-third day.

Yes. This is the Song Dynasty's record of the Crab Nebula, and the supernova explosion they saw and recorded was the star that was struck by light particles when Yue Yuanzhou first came to this world.

The supernova explosion has only now been observed for the first time by people on Earth.

But Yue Yuanzhou doesn't know now that the supernova explosion happened to become the Crab Nebula by chance.

Without knowing anything else, he had already arrived at the Orion Cantilever. After some rest, he continued to move towards the direction of the solar system in the star map.

However, in order not to expose his whereabouts, after using space-time jump to sail for a period of time, he switched to warp speed navigation more than 900 light-years away from the solar system.

Due to the time dilation effect, Yue Yuanzhou quickly spanned more than 900 light years. He is currently parked near a star system 286.5 light-years away from the solar system.

It was obvious that he wanted to treat this place as a station, and he stopped here because he discovered that this star had two planets.

From the outside, the two planets are gray and blue.

After sending out the probe, he was even more surprised to find that according to the data returned by the probe, the blue planet not only has a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere and a relatively simple ecosystem, but also has large areas of blue vegetation similar to the Earth. The appearance shows that this blue planet is a habitable Earth-like planet with similar characteristics to the Earth and a complete ecosystem.

Yue Yuanzhou, who was lucky in the secret passage, looked at the galaxy projection constructed based on the data returned by the detector on the projection screen and nodded with satisfaction. Because of the obvious color characteristics of the planet's appearance, he decided to call the two planets Gray Star and Blue Star respectively.
