Voyage of the Stars

"In fact, with our current warship armor and shield technology, our fleet can withstand a supernova explosion eight thousand light-years away, even if there are consecutive supernova explosions." The physicist continued to state his point of view,

"Afraid of those space disasters that we have no idea about and don't know how to defend against. You must have seen that the Awakener has the ability to separate such a large star field from the universe with a single ship. This is a fact. From here we can easily This leads to the conclusion that the sixth-level civilization has mastered some kind of space technology.

The worst is the third type, the outer battlefield. We all know the navigation technology of level six civilization. The speed shown by the Awakener when they sent us to this star field was 213 times the speed of light. I think everyone knows what this means! "

Everyone who understood understood nodded secretly.

213 times the speed of light, eight thousand light years, it would take thirty-seven years to run all the way.

Obviously, if you look at the vast scale of the universe, even a war between level six civilizations cannot spread that far, unless it is a protracted war that extends the battlefield to both sides.

In fact, humans really guessed it right this time.

In fact, the war between level six civilizations cannot spread that far. We knew it when we first met the Awakener and were brought to this star field. At that time, it was also broadcast by the Galactic Center Alliance, and then it broke out in the star field near the solar system. During the Level 6 Clash of Civilizations, the Awakeners had only taken humans for more than two thousand light years.

In fact, the battle area of ​​the sixth-level civilization is only one to two thousand light years. At that time, the awakener "Huan" also based on his own experience, but this time it was different.

The reason is that 'Huan' received the previous battle information between 'Yu' and the Reaper battleship squadron. Before the battle broke out, the two sides came and went six thousand light years away to test each other. Because of this , 'Huan' felt that humans were not safe in this star field, and separated humans and the entire space from the universe.

Speaking of which, this 'illusion' is really good for humans. He really wants to see humans develop. I guess he has his own plans.

Just like that, during the discussion, the relevant matters after the departure of the awakener "Huan" were decided one by one. First of all, it must be the exploration of this space. This cannot be said, it must be done. The second is the issue of promoting to the fourth level civilization.

Many scientists have suggested that after truly mastering the grand unified theory and finding a way to leave this space, the human fleet can run as fast as it can in the opposite direction to the star field where the awakener said the war took place.

The war of the sixth-level civilization is not something that humans can join in the fun without even taking a look at. We must learn from the lessons of the 'Silver Mist' at that time.

This view was unanimously recognized by everyone.

As for exploring this space, you must start it immediately after you make a plan. Although mankind is now in an era of great construction, and almost all resources are invested in the construction project of the new particle collider, there is still no problem in selecting some scientific teams.

So not long after, a scientific team in the name of scientific research expedition was born. They consisted of more than a dozen scientific research ships and an equal number of warships, including the scientific research ships of Nair and Chiyan civilization.

The team was divided into six teams, starting from the area where the human fleet was located, forward, backward, left, right, up and down, and in six directions. As written in the plan, the first thing they wanted to explore was the boundary of this space.

It's considered an experiment.

The scientific research expedition team plans to keep the experimental spacecraft moving in six directions to see what will happen after touching the edge of space.

Eight stars are not very close, so the navigation phase of this experiment alone will take decades. Needless to say, this is a long experiment. But compared to the new particle collider factory that took more than a thousand years, this time is nothing.

Before the scientific research and test ships sailed to the boundary of space, scientists from the scientific research expedition team made some predictions about this experiment.

Some scientists believe that the test ship will pass through the boundary of space and then come out from the opposite boundary. There are many scientists who hold this view. Other scientists also believe that it will pass through the border, but it will not come out from the opposite border, but will come out from a random location.

There are also some alternative views that the test ship cannot cross the border at all, or even find the so-called border. These scientists feel that the spatial boundary that encompasses the entire three-dimensional space may be different from what humans perceive, and may be some kind of superspace structure.

Of course, the experiment hasn't really started yet and everything is just speculation.

However, during the voyage, some scientists also discovered some clues. They walked about halfway, and then found that there was no ninth star in the entire space.

What does this mean? It means that the light coming from the star does not come out from another edge after entering the edge of space. Otherwise, humans should now be able to see the shadows of these stars in another direction in space.

Based on this observation, it directly refutes the two previous experimental results that were supported by many people, because the distance traveled by the scientific research team's spacecraft is enough for the light of several stars to circle this space.

“Will it be an open space?”

Some scientists on the scientific research team rejected this idea as soon as it came into their minds. The observed phenomena are indeed consistent with the characteristics of open space, but it is obvious that the Awakener has told humans that he has separated this star field from the larger universe.

If it's an open space, wouldn't the outside world be able to see what's going on inside? This is completely contrary to his purpose.

However, the results of the experiment were beyond everyone's expectations.

When the six scientific research expedition teams arrived at the calculated approximate boundary position and began to let the test ship continue to move forward, they found that the test ship seemed to be unable to touch the boundary no matter how it flew, as if the boundary really did not exist.

From the feedback information from various detection equipment mounted on the test ship, people found that the front end of the test ship was always as dark as the black starry sky. The expected barrier was not encountered, and there was no edge light curtain. There was only vast darkness. , the darkness that can’t be reached no matter how hard it flies.

"No, the test ship is changing direction on its own. Look at the coordinates of the eight stars." A scientist seemed to have discovered something and immediately shouted.

Everyone looked at the orientation star map and the data display, and sure enough they found that the relative positions of the eight stars in the star map were slightly distorted. Compared with the area where the scientific research ship was located, there was indeed a slight deviation from the perspective of the experimental ship.

The test ship did fly to the edge of space, but for some unknown reason, it actually changed its course. However, the equipment on the test ship did not detect the change in its own navigation direction at all.

Regarding the scientific instruments on the test ship, everything was normal and the direction of the research ship had not changed in any way.
