Voyage of the Stars

It is said that the more advanced the technology, the greater the impact on the natural environment.

The impact of human technology in the Earth era is only to cause some climate change. The first-level civilization can only dig the moon and build a few bases in outer space. The second-level civilization can only clean the surface of the planet. The third-level civilization has the ability to hollow out a galaxy, but that is when all the power of the civilization is used up and it takes a long time. The technology of the fourth-level civilization can easily change the environment of the entire star system.

After thousands of years of human demands, the originally quiet and peaceful binary star system has now turned into a space mine. The entire space is filled with dust particles spread by the planets destroyed by humans, which can be said to have made this binary star system a mess.

It is estimated that the main sequence stars of the binary star system and the gas planets in the galaxy will work together for tens of thousands of years to make the environment clear again.

The Milky Way is very large. Even if there are tens of thousands of civilizations like humans that are engaged in destructive mining, they are only a drop in the bucket. The damage to the original environment of the Milky Way is not even as much as a war of the sixth-level civilization.

After completing the creation upgrade, humans will soon leave here and set foot on the starry sky again.

This time, humans have no definite goal, but only a general navigation direction, which is to stay away from the direction that the awakener "Huan" told humans to go to. Staying away from that direction means staying away from the battlefield of the sixth-level civilization.

Humans are very concerned about the situation of the awakener "Huan", but they also understand that the war between the awakener and the harvester is not something they can participate in now, and they can't even get close.

And the Earth Star Region where humans are now, even though they have been sailed for more than a thousand light years by the awakener and have traveled around, they have not left the solar system too far. From the perspective of astronomical observations, the straight-line distance from here to the solar system is actually less than two thousand light years.

If humans want to return to the solar system, including mid-way supplies, it will take more than 200 years, or at most 300 years, to get there. But humans can't go there now, because that direction is the direction of the center of the Milky Way, and it is also the direction of the battlefield of the sixth-level civilization.

Humans have to go in the opposite direction, to the end of the Orion arm.

Go as far as you can, and try to stay away from the battlefield of the sixth-level civilization. The farther you are, the weaker the aftermath of the supernova. Humans really don't know what the war of the sixth-level civilization is like, but judging from the bombing of the solar system and the Centauri triple star system and the situation of the star destroyer cannon they have, the battlefield of the sixth-level civilization must be full of various stars being destroyed.

After all, humans now clearly know that the fifth-level civilization has the ability to destroy stars, so the turmoil caused by the war of the sixth-level civilization is bound to be full of stellar explosions of various sizes.

Of course, although it is said that there is no specific purpose of the voyage, humans still have things to do, such as continuing to look for the star map information obtained from the crystal drift bottle of the pioneers, finding the location marked in the star map, and finding the small universe left by the pioneers.

The key to the small universe is now in the storage room on the Lyra, and it is also in the shape of a diamond crystal, which looks like a smaller version of the large diamond crystal drift bottle.

I don’t know if it’s because of special hobbies, the awakeners and pioneers that humans have seen have their own characteristics. One likes to create a golden section rectangular shape, and the other is a diamond crystal style.

The starry sky is vast, and the galaxy is vast.

Not long after, the human fleet set foot on the star road again.

After the creation upgrade, the human civilization fleet cluster is actually smaller than before, with only 3 million planetary warships plus less than 1 million residential spaceships, biosphere spaceships and other planetary spaceships. However, if the fleets of vassal races are included, there will be more. After all, most of the spaceships and warships of those vassal races are still in the style of third-level civilization, but they are equipped with warp engines by humans.

Currently, only humans have planetary warships. It’s not that humans are stingy and don’t build planetary warships for those vassal races. It’s too time-consuming and they can’t take care of so many.

Moreover, the cannon fodder plan implemented by humans at the beginning seems to have no great effect now. After all, if they encounter other level 4 civilizations, those level 3 civilization warships equipped with only warp engines will be useless.

As for letting the kobolds drive planetary warships, it is not impossible, but that is also a matter after more warships are built in the future. Now the three million ordinary planetary warships of humans are basically operated by strong artificial intelligence, but it is not a strong artificial intelligence controlling a large number of warships, but a strong artificial intelligence controlling a warship.

The reason is that planetary warships are too complicated, and human artificial intelligence technology cannot allow a strong artificial intelligence to control a group of warships, which will cause the host to crash.

In other words, technology itself promoted the emergence of a large number of strong artificial intelligence fleets during the level 3 civilization period, but in the level 4 civilization, it has become a restriction on the emergence of large-scale strong artificial intelligence fleets.

Although they are all machines making machines, the design and manufacture of the host carrying strong artificial intelligence are still participated by humans in person, not for anything else, but mainly because they are worried about problems with these strong artificial intelligences. Yes, after discovering that the thought imprinting technology seems to be beyond the control of level 3 civilizations, humans are worried about problems with their means of preventing strong artificial intelligence from rebelling.

Therefore, when it comes to creating strong artificial intelligence, humans have always been the ones doing the work themselves, and have never allowed other strong artificial intelligences to have the ability to automatically create another self.

Speaking of which, this voyage of mankind is the first large fleet warp voyage after truly embarking on the fourth-level civilization, so the destination is not too far away, but a nearby star system only 18 light years away from the departure point.

When it was placed in the third-level civilization, humans would need at least 36 years to sail to reach this distance, but now it only takes one year, nine months and eighteen days to arrive.

With the development of technology, the Milky Way has become smaller for humans, and interstellar navigation no longer requires a long time, and interstellar civilization is truly worthy of the name.

After the departure order was issued, the ships of the human fleet wrapped themselves in warp bubbles, and then, like the scenes in movies and TV dramas, the ships in the warp bubbles were stretched and disappeared into the depths of the starry sky. This is not that the warships and warp bubbles are really stretched, but a visual illusion caused by the warp speed of 10.079 times the speed of light, just like a spaceship coming from the depths of the starry sky at superluminal speed, the optical observer first sees the spaceship appear instantly and then sees the afterimage of the spaceship retreating backwards.

If you want to see the real situation of the fleet during its movement, you have to use tachyon detection.
