Voyage of the Stars

"Oh, human civilization, I almost forgot, I promised you this." While everyone was melancholy, a familiar voice suddenly appeared.

"You didn't leave?"

Everyone looked around, but did not see the rhombus crystal. They only saw a similar rhombus crystal block, only the size of a fist. It was completely different from the rhombus crystal that was like a building before, but its appearance was still quite similar. , are all in the shape of rhombus crystals.

"No, I've already left. This is a key." The voice of the rhombus crystal sounded like a 3D surround effect, explaining to humans: "A key to the small universe. Before our civilization left the galaxy, in addition to formulating a drift bottle In addition to the plan, a small universe was left in the Milky Way, which contained some of the creations of our civilization.

Well, for now, those creations are considered antiques, and I don’t know if they can still be used. These things are reserved for the new generation civilization. You are also considered a new generation civilization, although the level is lower. Even the unified theory I haven’t mastered it yet, but you were able to magically wake me up. I should give you a chance. "

"But I have to remind you that the 'Bottle Project' involves more than just me and the bottle. There are naturally more than one keys to the small universe. And three billion years have passed. I don't know what happened to the place where the small universe was originally placed. The relevant information has been sent to you, this time I really have to say goodbye to human civilization!”

As soon as the four words "human civilization" fell, the sound of the rhombus crystal disappeared completely.

Really gone!

Everyone came back to their senses and looked at the small rhombus crystal, which was called the key to the small universe by the rhombus crystal.

Rhomboids are also rhombus-shaped. This appearance, if you don't distinguish it carefully, if it is not the rhombus crystal just now, everyone will think it is the rhombus crystal after shrinking!

It can be seen from the video that it appears in a similar manner to the rhombus crystal. It also appears out of thin air inside the Tianqin and is also suspended in mid-air.

Don't get me wrong, this is not anti-gravity technology. After all, the Tianqin is not performing acceleration and deceleration movements, and there is no gravity effect at all in the command center.

So it was suspended in mid-air just because it was moving synchronously with the Tianqin. At the moment when everyone turned around, due to the air flow on the ship, it was slightly displaced. It was accelerating and decelerating in sync with the previous rhombus crystal and the Tianqin. Completely two different things.

With the emergence of air turbulence, this small crystal is now floating there quietly like those objects placed in the space station.

In fact, everyone was a little stunned when they first heard the rhombus crystal say that the key to the small universe was this thing, but after thinking about it, they were relieved, because they all learned about the creation style of the pioneer civilization from the rhombus crystal.

Many things in the pioneer civilization, including 'drift bottles', spaceships, equipment, etc., like to be shaped into a diamond shape. Therefore, it is not strange at all to say that this diamond crystal is the key, but it is just that it is rare for humans.

The appearance of rhombus crystal is very similar to that of ordinary crystal, at least to the naked eye. It is completely impossible to tell what kind of technology is contained in this fist-sized thing.

To be honest, Yue Yuan felt that if he threw this diamond crystal into a pile of ore, he might think it was an ordinary crystal mine.

The rhombus-shaped crystal-shaped drift bottle is gone, leaving behind a small rhombus-shaped crystal-shaped key to the universe for mankind!

The transformation was a bit fast, and I was completely unprepared. Is this an adventure for humans?

"This Yue Shuai, Yue Shuai!"

For a moment, the people present were unable to react, and Yue Yuan was also a little dazed, so much so that the rhombus-shaped key slowly floated in the command center without him noticing.

Feeling someone poke his arm, Yue Yuan focused his pupils on the rhombus crystal again. At this moment, the rhombus crystal was floating slowly like an ordinary masonry, and at the same time, it had a tendency to fly and spin.

The reason for its change of motion state is the circulating air flow in the command center, and its tendency to rotate and fly is due to the conservation of angular momentum.

Looking at the slowly floating rhombus, Yue Yuan did not reach out to grab it recklessly. Instead, he motioned to the staff to use a smart robotic arm to grab it, stop it from floating around, and then make a suitable container to put it in.

Of course, it's okay to grab it with your hands, because the rhombus crystal said in the message sent behind it that when the small universe key is not triggered, its appearance is not much different from an ordinary crystal.

As the robotic arm stretched out to grasp it and put it into a transparent container, a few experimental physicists were eager to try it, but it was obvious that this thing was not for research, and they had seen rhombus crystals before. They know that even if they take a magnifying glass and look at it, they won't be able to see anything.

The technological gap is too big, but humans still have this kind of self-awareness.

"Chief, we are next." A scientist hesitated to speak. He was talking to Yue Yuan, but his eyes were blazingly looking at the so-called small universe key rhombus.

Yue Yuan waved his hand and turned around to face the people who had stayed here from beginning to end: "First, take a look at the starry sky positioning map left by the rhombus crystal."

As he spoke, he pointed to the big screen in the command center.

What is displayed inside is a simple star positioning, which is probably where the Pioneer Microcosm in the mouth of the rhombus crystal is located. But after everyone looked at it for a while, they found that the positioning was very simple, with only a few stars.

This is a bit of a test of human computer skills and the depth of information on the Milky Way starry sky.

The staff soon recovered from the absence of the rhombus crystal. When they saw Yue Yuan pointing at the big screen, they started comparing the star maps mastered by humans with their computers without saying a word.

However, the results are a bit confusing, because through comparison, it is found that the positioning map given by the rhombus crystal does not seem to be the current star map of the Milky Way, but like that of three billion years ago.

The Milky Way three billion years ago is very different from the Milky Way now. Not to mention that the stars are always moving, the Milky Way is also moving relatively close to the Andromeda Galaxy. If it were really the positioning map of the starry sky three billion years ago, it would be enough. Human astronomers have a headache.

"It's really testing our computers and our ability to grasp dynamic information about the Milky Way!"

Seeing this result, everyone was shouting in their hearts.

The key is that the diamond-shaped crystal is just thrown away without saying when it is the starry sky positioning map.

"Is it possible that this is not the positioning map of the starry sky three billion years ago, but a star field that is not covered by our human database?" an astronomer said, but as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he realized that he seemed to have said something A nonsense sentence.

Of course it is possible. After all, the Milky Way is so big. How can a civilization like humans, which does not even have the technology to travel at the speed of light, possibly get a glimpse of the entire Milky Way?

Humanity's current star map has many blind spots. The more accurate ones are the star field where the solar system is located and the star field that has been wandering for thousands of years.
