Voyage of the Stars

The entire fleet of ships in the warp voyage is led by humans, and the small boats of other races follow behind the large group. They are all spaceships replaced by humans with warp engines.

Seeing that each spaceship is larger than their own civilization, it would be a lie to say that these vassal races are not envious, especially the Chiyan civilization, whose almost entire civilization has surrendered to humans. In their society, envy is simply written on their faces.

The entire social elite is basically "human boasting", and some Lin and some alien version belongs to it. Their network is full of praise for humans.

For example, in order to satisfy the dream of individual life to fly, humans specially designed personal mechas to show their respect for life, humans' dining environment is cleaned seven times a day, and humans' living spaceship environment is as beautiful as the mother planet, etc.

There are even more outrageous ones. I don't know where the fake news came from or whether it is the imagination of the netizens of the Chiyan civilization. On their website, there are even remarks such as human toilet water is so clean that it can be drunk directly. This kind of statement is obviously boastful.

In order to show that what he said was true, the individual of the Chiyan civilization who expressed this view also wrote a long article about his experience of having the honor of visiting the new human spaceship, and also specifically stated that he had tried toilet water. He said it in a very concise manner, and those who didn't know thought it was true.

And this kind of thing was brought to the human intranet by human residents who climbed over the wall to the Internet as entertainment after dinner. The titles were generally: "How do people from the Chiyan civilization view humans", "The reaction of people from the Chiyan civilization after seeing humans living on the spaceship", "Shock! Individual life of the Chiyan civilization actually claimed to like drinking human toilet water".

Some netizens who are curious about things also showed a very professional look, and then made some titles on the intranet such as "From the fact that people from the Chiyan civilization like to drink human toilet water, it is derived from the research on their individual life characteristics".

Of course, there are naturally people who clarify rumors. These people are either people on the human side who often climb over the wall to go to the affiliated civilization, or vice versa.

In fact, these behaviors of climbing over the wall to the Internet are seen by the human high-level, but they are just folk nature and they don't pay too much attention to them. They are all entertainment projects for individual lives, so they turn a blind eye.

However, after the human fleet had sailed for more than a year, it stopped at the first target star for a while, carried out some simple material replenishment there, and then continued to move forward along the previously planned route. The second voyage spanned a longer distance. Humans directly crossed several stars and sailed a hundred light years. After arriving at the destination, they carried out another large replenishment there, which was probably to stop and use the matter and energy in the star system to produce antimatter or something, and then continued to move forward after completing the replenishment.

In this process, humans did not find any traces of other civilizations, nor did they encounter any strange phenomena, as if they were the only ones left in the entire universe. This is a normal phenomenon of cosmic navigation, and there is nothing to be surprised about. Humans have been accustomed to it for many years. It is abnormal to encounter a civilization every step of the way.

In this way, humans have traveled one section after another, crossed one star after another, and have unknowingly traveled thousands of light years.

And now, the human fleet, which is sailing at a warp speed of 10 times the speed of light, suddenly detected that there is a very dense nebula on the route of the fleet.

According to the detection data feedback, the nebula is very large, with a diffusion radius of at least fifty light years, and its overall shape is a flat sphere. Judging from its appearance and structure alone, human astronomers believe that there should be a gravitational source in the center of this star field, otherwise the nebulae in the universe generally do not appear in such a regular shape, but will present various irregular shapes.

The disk of the nebula, or its ecliptic plane, is exactly at a 90-degree angle to the Milky Way disk. If you look from the position of the solar system, if the technology is advanced enough, you can probably only see a thin line.

Of course, you have to be able to see it.

This is an interstellar star field, which can be said to be in the middle of nowhere. There is no starlight to illuminate the nebula. It is extremely difficult to discover the existence of the nebula with only the faint light of the stars in the universe, but using other detection methods is another matter.

At least now humans can clearly see its shape and size.

After discovering the nebula, humans have further increased their detection efforts, and then they realized the special features of this star field. Its density is much richer than the nebulae that humans have encountered before.

Soon, human scientists came to the conclusion that such a dense nebula is very unfavorable for the fleet's warp speed navigation. If the human fleet continues to advance at a warp speed of ten times the speed of light, it may cause a huge load on the engine and it is not suitable for long-term maximum speed navigation.

There are two solutions, one is to take a detour, and the other is to reduce the warp power to pass through. Reducing the speed to pass through is obviously the worst option, because it is not as fast as taking a detour, so after reaching this conclusion, humans decided to take a detour without much hesitation.

However, as the first magical phenomenon of the universe encountered on the voyage, humans did not intend to just leave it alone, but sent a detector to observe and record it.

After all, this is the first time that humans have encountered such a dense nebula, and it is appropriate to conduct a scientific investigation on it.

However, such a sparse and ordinary decision has made humans discover more magical places in this nebula. After the probe came to the edge of the nebula for close detection, humans were surprised to find that this dense nebula was not dark, but would flash from time to time like fireflies.

In the visual effect picture sent back by the probe, humans decided that this picture was like seeing a flashing firefly in the distance on a dark night on Earth.

These lights are very weak, and most of them are blocked by the density of the nebula itself and are difficult to transmit outside the nebula. That is, the human probe is close to the edge of the nebula, otherwise it would not be discovered.

From the feedback of the spectrometer, the composition of the nebula is mainly common hydrogen molecular cloud, doped with a small amount of helium. Such a large nebula should be gathered together over a long period of time due to the difference in gravity, and then form a new star or become a failed star.

But after observation, humans found that this nebula has no tendency to gather further.

Such strange phenomena soon attracted the interest of scientists, so more unmanned probes were sent out. Scientists plan to send unmanned probes deep into the nebula to see what these twinkling lights are.
