Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 548 Outside the Light Cone

He was wondering if the failure of quantum entanglement meant that quantum entanglement communication could be used in other parts of the universe. The modification of the physical rules that acted on the Milky Way three billion years ago has always existed. Does it mean that once the physical rules are changed, they are permanent? of.

If this is the case, then which parts of the universe have physical laws that are the real laws of nature, and which places are the actions of the unknown advanced civilizations mentioned by the pioneers.

And how many such entities are there in the universe? Will changing the rules really not cause the collapse of the universe?

No one could answer his question.

After everyone on the Tianqin discussed the survey telescope array for a while, under the auspices of Yue Yuan, they turned their attention to the site selection for the future construction of a new particle collider by humans. At the same time, they were also planning the next course of the human fleet. .

And when humans are preparing to find an area with denser stars to start large-scale construction, somewhere in the Milky Way.

This is a starry sky far away from the stars, with nothing but darkness and silence. However, looking around from here, you can also see the bright starry sky, especially the brightest point in the distance. Anyone who has seen the Milky Way star map knows that it is the gathering of stars in the center of the Milky Way.

However, the view of the center of the Milky Way from this position is different from what humans observe on Earth. Here we can clearly see the bright stars in the direction of the center of the Milky Way, but there are only a few light spots in the starry sky in one direction.

Obviously, this position is not in the center of the silver plate, because the center of the silver plate will not have such a perspective effect. As can be seen, the unknown is either above or below the silver plate.

It's a place with few stars.

Under normal circumstances, unless this kind of place leaves the Milky Way, there will be very few civilizations visiting it, and there will be no traces of civilizational activities.

But now, it has an uninvited guest.

"Come out, we know you are here." A message with obvious traces of civilization appeared immediately, as if for no reason.

There is no sound in the universe, so the information that can appear with the arrival of uninvited guests can only be other ways of information transmission.

If someone stares at the starry sky with a telescope, he will find that when the information appears and spreads everywhere in the void, he will see that there is a huge warship here out of thin air.

It indeed appeared out of thin air. There was no sign of its appearance in the visible universe, just like what people often see, using video editing to conjure a stone in the hand of nothing.

Since this time there was nothingness and no reference, it was difficult to judge the size of the battleship through the naked eye. Well, the reason why it is called a battleship rather than a spaceship is because its appearance looks so beautiful.

The appearance of the entire ship body presents a streamlined shape that makes people feel very constrained at first glance. From a human perspective, its overall color is silver-gray. There are still things like dots of stars emerging from the hull shell, like Special effects have been added, and the overall shape looks like a piece of soap with one end cut smaller.

The amazing thing is that there are no thruster nozzles visible on its hull. Instead, there are a series of somewhat flat and concave grooves at the front end, but they do not go straight into the interior of the battleship. They are just a little more concave than other places. It looks like it is on soap. I don't know what the purpose of the several small grooves smoothly cut out with a knife is.

"You haven't come out yet, do you want me to knock on the door?" There seemed to be no response, and the battleship, which seemed to be wrapped in starlight, sent out a message again.

If there were precision detectors to annotate this place, they would find that every time the warship wrapped in starlight "speaks", there will be a regular gravitational ripple in the void.

Obviously, the information it "speaks" is in this gravitational ripple, or it is "speaking" in the form of gravitational waves.

Its voice was like raindrops falling on a calm lake, making waves in the void, and then swept away to every corner of the star field at the speed of light.

The battleship seems to have good control over the "voice". The gravitational ripples it releases extend for a certain distance in space and time, then attenuate to the point where they are difficult to discern, but they cover the entire starry sky area just right.

This is very similar to being unable to hear people speaking from far away on Earth.

"Do you really want to force me to do something before you come out? In this case"

The warship wrapped in dots of starlight seemed a little impatient, so it shouted again. However, before the words could be completed this time, it suddenly disappeared into the visible universe. When it reappeared, it had already been within a few seconds. outside astronomical units.

At the same time, a black line suddenly appeared where it disappeared, cutting the bright background of stars in the center of the Milky Way galaxy in half, an unknown number of thousands of light-years away. Of course, cutting in half is just an illusion of light propagation. In fact, the black line only appears for less than a millisecond before disappearing.

"You dare to come without a frigate. Your Galactic Alliance is a little arrogant and arrogant this time. Then let me put out the fire and let you calm down."

Another message appeared, causing ripples in the void, and swept away in all directions just like the battleship wrapped in starlight before 'speaking'.

It stands to reason that if you use this method of gravitational waves to have a conversation, it will take several minutes or even ten minutes before the other party wants to hear it. After all, the battleship wrapped in starlight just moved a few times between disappearing and appearing. astronomical unit.

Although this kind of gravitational wave appears like raindrops falling into a calm lake, it is impossible to throw the "sound source" into the opponent's face. However, in this way of "speaking", it was received in real time by the warship wrapped in starlight. .

There is no doubt that this battleship wrapped in dots of starlight is not using my power to "hear" the message, but it has mastered some kind of detection method for such close-range gravitational wave ripples.

Of course, the same goes for the existence of its voice. They all have mastered some kind of long-distance detection technology, so that they can talk to each other in the void in this way.

This kind of conversation is actually very strange. It's like two people 34,000 meters apart talking without the use of communication tools. They should have shouted loud enough and 100 seconds would pass before the other party could hear them. However, the amazing thing is that as soon as one party spoke, the other party heard the sound before it traveled even one kilometer.

It was as if the information had been read in advance before it arrived.

If there is a civilization with the technology to detect gravitational waves near one of the two, then this civilization must be very confused, because they only receive one party talking to itself.

These few sentences and the way they spoke seemed to tell all galactic civilizations the story beyond the light cone. It is a pity that no other civilization can see such a scene.

"Are you finally willing to come out~! We are not here to fight. Besides, if we want to leave, you can't stop us."

The battleship wrapped in starlight didn't seem to care about the blow just now. After escaping the blow, it remained stationary in the void, as if it was very sure that the other party would not hit it again.
