Road to science and technology

Yue Yuanzhou was curious about what prompted this civilization to build this thing.

Is it emotion or ignorance of the universe?

Or is this universe not dark?

In a universe where the warp speed cannot exceed the speed of light and quantum long-distance communication cannot be realized, Yue Yuanzhou does not believe that civilizations can communicate happily. You must know that the three-body universe can realize quantum entanglement to transmit effective information, but it is still a dark forest.

"Go over and take a look." Yue Yuanzhou said at this time.

It was just a civilization that built a Dyson sphere. It was no big deal, so the infrastructure directly determined the coordinates and jumped to the target star system.

According to conventional operations, the detector should be passed through the space-time jump first, but in a universe where quantum entanglement cannot transmit effective information faster than the speed of light, it is better to go directly.

Of course, Infrastructure did not jump directly into its star system, but set its position one light-year outside. The reason for this distance is that it is within the strike range of the Shenzhou civilization.

Not only that, within this range, the Shenzhou civilization can also directly conduct four-dimensional scanning of the target.

In this way, the Infrastructure was silently transmitted from the other side of the starry sky to the outside of the star system, and then quietly hid in the cracks of space, and then began to further detect this civilization.

The detection was very simple. The infrastructure directly started four-dimensional scanning and scanned over. A beam swept from the four-dimensional direction towards the star system, and it didn't take long to get information about the star system.

"It's indeed Dyson Cloud! That's what I said." Seeing the same result as expected, Yue Yuanzhou laughed.

The technical difficulty of a Dyson sphere is much greater than that of a Dyson cloud, because to make a ball to wrap a star, not only a large amount of material is needed, but also the interaction between itself and the star's gravity must be taken into account. A slight improper correction may lead to a direct collision between the Dyson sphere and the star, resulting in catastrophic results.

You must know that stars are not fixed in space. So unless there is anti-gravity technology, the Dyson sphere is useless.

"Although it's just Dyson Cloud, it's really spectacular! Boss, I'm afraid this is not a civilization obsessed with spectacle." At this time, Long Linpiao exited the driving state, then floated over and joked a little.

"It is indeed spectacular, but it also shows that their energy technology still relies on stars." Yue Yuanzhou said, his eyes still fixed on the illusory projection.

What is displayed inside is of course the result of the four-dimensional scan.

It is a giant structure composed of huge energy collection sails. There are a large number of collection sails, a total of 7.8 million pieces. Their inner and outer three layers are densely moving around the stars. Against the background of the dark starry sky, they look like a group of colorful butterflies flying.

The matrix they form follows the laws of physics and circles around the huge star over and over again. The light of stars shines through the gaps, and it feels like moving and looking at lights through a grid window, flickering.

Yue Yuanzhou noticed that except for one planet that was obviously the birthplace of this civilization, there were basically no other planets in this star system.

According to astronomical common sense, there are very few single-planet star systems, especially this planet, that have given birth to life.

Therefore, judging from the behavior of this civilization in building such a magnificent Dyson Cloud, they should have dug up all the other planets and used all the resources to build this extraordinary Dyson Cloud project.

Yue Yuanzhou looked beyond the Dyson Cloud and landed on the stars inside.

The Dyson Cloud surrounds a yellow dwarf star that is relatively rare in this universe. Its surface is 4960 Kelvin and has a diameter of 650,000 kilometers. Its core is undergoing a fusion reaction in which hydrogen is fused into helium, just like a common star.

Through spectral analysis, Yue Yuanzhou knew that this yellow dwarf star is very young, only 300 million years old, and it can live to be approximately 9.8 billion years old.

"Perhaps it is because of the lifespan of this star that this civilization allowed this civilization to build a Dyson cloud." Yue Yuanzhou sighed.

He said this not without reason.

Because this universe is so young, it lacks heavy elements. And just now he noticed that the star system where this civilization is located has relatively abundant heavy elements. Coupled with the temperature of the starry sky environment in this universe, it is a perfect geomantic treasure for the birth of life.

Only galaxies rich in heavy elements have enough resources to build Dyson clouds. And this civilization has obviously discovered the current stage of the evolution of the universe, so they want to guard this treasure land.

As a result, a majestic and magnificent mega-structure that fully reflects technological civilization was born under this background.

At this time, Long Lin grabbed an illusory projection and pushed it into the air, and then said: "Boss, look, this is an indigenous creature in this galaxy, a very strange carbon-based creature."

This is the projection of the data after four-dimensional scanning and calculation by the supercomputer on the shipboard of the infrastructure. The simulation is accurate to the microscopic particles and appears to be quite realistic.

Yue Yuanzhou looked at the illusory projection and saw that the creature in the projection was covered with a layer of dense blue scales. It had no legs on its lower body and only had a snake-like tail curled on the ground. The tail is very long. When projected, the tail is 4.7 meters long, about the thickness of a bucket.

The color of the lower body and abdomen is slightly lighter, and the scales are rectangular. The scales are covered in layers and extend to the excretion port of the tail like tiles. There are 3 to 5 rows extending and overlapping from the bottom to the tip of the tail. This arrangement is conducive to ground swimming. move. The scales on the back are in a hexagonal shape, and are inlaid in layers like fish scales.

Obviously, this is a reptile creature. Walking is not called walking, but wandering.

"Snake-skin walking" is the most appropriate way to describe this civilization's walking style.

Compared with the lower body without legs, the upper body of this kind of life seems a bit crowded, because there are four arms, each with four fingers at the end. Three of them are side by side and the other one is larger and in a confrontation position, obviously for easy grasping. It evolved from holding hands, and its arms are also covered with blue scales.

The head looks like a lizard, but the eyes are insect-like hard compound eyes. Such a creature is a constant-temperature organism, which is amazing.

There is no distinction between females, but there are three different forms, and the gene has a triple helix structure. Just from the appearance, it is difficult to distinguish them because of the scales all over the body and whether there are any obvious characteristics. Especially when viewed from a human perspective, it is even more difficult to tell the difference.

According to various data, this creature has extremely strong radiation resistance.

At this time, Yue Yuanzhou looked at other data and found that this creature with four hands and four fingers on each hand was indeed using hexadecimal.

Overall, it looked very strange. Yue Yuanzhou had never seen anything like this. It actually moved all its limbs to the top, and crawled on the bottom with its tail.

"What would be a good name for such a civilization?" Yue Yuanzhou looked away and thought to himself.
