Road to science and technology

After Yue Yuanzhou left NWX188, he headed towards the target

Stopping and stopping along the way, and having to maintain the spacecraft, collect resources, supply enough supplies, and then continue moving forward after decades of walking, this is also a familiar path for Yue Yuanzhou.

The starry sky is both empty and crowded. It is said to be crowded because the vacuum of the universe is not really a vacuum. It is filled with light waves, electromagnetic waves, and gravity that extends to infinity, all acting on this universe, and there are more than 400 billion stars. Like countless fireflies gathered tightly within this mere 100,000 light-years.

And it is empty. At the edge of the cantilever of the Milky Way, stars are sparse, and it is often at least twenty or thirty light years away from one star system to the nearest star system.

This is a hopeless distance that conventional chemical energy can never reach.

In the case of civilizations that have not developed controllable nuclear fusion, their fate will be the same - born here and buried here.

And this first step may block most civilizations.

It has been three hundred years since Yue Yuanzhou set out from Yuan Star. He has never encountered even a single civilization. Of course, this is a good thing. If he did encounter one, Yue Yuanzhou would probably turn around and run away.

Three hundred and thirty-seven years to be precise. If he hadn't spent most of the time sleeping while upgrading his body, he would have died of loneliness.

A spaceship is traveling alone in the starry sky, and the background is a dark-themed starry sky dotted with faint dots, which is empty and lonely.

Yue Yuanzhou took a sip of tea and said, "Heaven's course is always consistent. It will not exist for Yao, nor will it perish for Jie."

Today, Yue Yuanzhou is wearing casual clothes. His appearance has not changed much, but he looks more mature and comfortable. He seems to be in a good mood. At this moment, he is humming a tune and drinking tea. Although the taste of soilless tea is not good, it is Better than nothing.

Yue Yuanzhou thought to himself: "Since when did I learn to drink tea? Am I getting older?"

"Yeah, he's over three hundred years old."

"Alert! Alert! Detection of gravitational anomalies in the current area."

"The space speed is disordered, and the Yuanxing will exit the warp navigation state in ten seconds. Countdown 10, 9"

"what's the situation!"

Yue Yuanzhou hurriedly sent a series of instructions to the spacecraft, and then stared at the various detection parameters displayed on the holographic screen. The data on gamma rays, electromagnetic waves, and space curvature were like a roller coaster, sometimes suddenly increasing, and then disappearing immediately.

Seeing this Yue Yuanzhou first ruled out encountering a supernova explosion. Although a supernova explosion will be accompanied by electromagnetic radiation, gamma rays, etc., it will also eject a large amount of material and radiate shock waves to the surrounding interstellar material. This shock wave causes the formation of an expanding shell of gas and dust called a supernova remnant. Supernovae are potentially powerful sources of gravitational waves in galaxies.

From the current data, it is obvious that this is not the case, and this can be ruled out.

And a black hole is impossible. If it were a black hole, he should have detected a huge gravitational source and guessed it right.

It's not like it's going left and right now.

Fortunately, not long after, Yue Yuanzhou saw a frightening picture from the Yuanxing's optical telescope.

A dense group of warships shining with metallic luster suddenly appeared in the dark starry sky. They suddenly appeared without any warning. At the same time as the fleet group appeared, a dozen warships headed by the group, which was obviously twice the size of the others, showed a burst of red light. Shining, then a black line began to appear on the edge of the fleet group, and the black line turned into a black curtain in an instant.

For a long time after that, Yue Yuanzhou kept staring at the screen, but the scene of a passionate battle between interstellar battleships that he expected did not appear.

At this time, Yue Yuanzhou already understood that he might encounter a civilized interstellar war. "The spacecraft has stabilized. It seems that it can enter the curvature and escape at any time. It's a pity that I didn't see the war scene."

"How about we find a place to live first, and then come here to fish for the wreckage in a few hundred years?" Yue Yuanzhou is considered a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, or he is quite confident in himself, and he still wants to fish for it at this time.

The expected scene did not appear, Yue Yuanzhou looked away and prepared to sigh.

Suddenly, the originally dark screen lit up again, and then a familiar scene appeared: a densely packed group of warships shining with metallic luster suddenly appeared in the starry sky with a dark background. They suddenly appeared without warning, and in the fleet At the same time as the group appeared, a dozen warships, which were obviously twice the size of the others, showed a flash of red light, and then a black line began to appear on the edge of the fleet group, and the black line turned into a black curtain in an instant.

"Uh?!??" Yue Yuanzhou was suddenly confused, "This is a movie."

Yue Yuanzhou thought for a while and understood that this was obviously not "another group", but the same group.

After a while, while Yue Yuanzhou was still thinking, the screen lit up again and the previous scene was cycled through.

At this time, Yue Yuanzhou woke up in horror, "Whale Eyes, launch all the detectors on the Yuanxing around."

"The shipboard computer prioritizes allocating computing power to the detector."

"All types of detectors on board the ship are working at full capacity immediately."

"Maximum power of warp engine, far away from the direction of the screen."

…

…

After issuing a series of orders, Yue Yuanzhou also assigned his built-in genetic supercomputer to try his best to detect such unheard of things.

The same image was played over and over again, and Yue Yuanzhou's heart became heavier and heavier.

I don’t know about the others, but my current guess is that I must have encountered an interstellar war, and he only saw one protagonist in this war, just like a group of fleets vs. an invisible enemy.

And he obviously broke into their battlefield. It might also be a temporary battlefield for a chase, after all, the fleet suddenly appeared.

Regardless of the outcome, there was only one sentence in Dao Yuezhou's mind at this time: The fire at the city gate would affect the fish in the pond.

"Just now I was thinking that there was no civilization in more than three hundred years, but I was instantly slapped in the face." Yue Yuanzhou cried with sadness on his face.

At this time, the detector finally sent back the data, and it was first determined that the interface of the back and forth waves was related to light. In other words, the photons carrying the information of the picture kept circulating back and forth, and were detected by Yue Yuanzhou's spacecraft every once in a while. .

Seeing this, the first thing Yue Yuanzhou thought of was the Klein bottle, "My location has become a space similar to a Klein bottle? So the directional light will always circulate back and forth in this space?"

"But what is the black screen? According to the picture, the black screen should be an offensive weapon. Could it be possible that a black screen came over and knocked me into a Klein bottle space?"

Yue Yuanzhou touched his chin and thought seriously, "What does this mean, a cage attack?"

"Um?"

"This data is wrong, the screen cycle frequency has become faster!"

Could it be that this space is shrinking?

Yue Yuanzhou suddenly had an untimely and absurd idea in his mind: "Could this be a small universe, a space storage bag, cultivating immortals? Uh, Da Luo Jinxian VS Civilized Fleet?"

This is all nonsense. Yue Yuanzhou shook his head, threw away such unrealistic thoughts, and thought seriously, "According to the data, it is certain that the space is getting smaller. Doesn't this mean that when the space keeps getting smaller until Finally disappears.”

“Then naturally I returned to the big universe.”

"No, there is another possibility, that is, it turns gray."

"Huh?! The gravity of this space has disappeared." Yue Yuanzhou looked at the latest data from the detector with some confusion.

It stands to reason that in a small universe within a large universe, the gravitational force will not disappear in the small universe no matter what. Gravity is an infinite force. As long as it is still in this universe, it will definitely not disappear.

Gravity is everywhere. Even if the nearby giant attraction sources are removed, how can the dark matter disappear? And now this disappearance is like a kite with a broken string.

"Line Kite"

"Hi~ No way!"

"But why?"
