Voyage of the Stars

The human probe continued to probe deeper into the tomb, but found nothing else useful. There are indeed all kinds of things in this tomb of civilization, but none of them can help humans translate the text wall of the distant ship.

At first, humans were thinking about whether there were any intact equipment inside, but the result made everyone silent. After entering the tomb of civilization, various small probes wandered around, entering as long as there were cracks and holes, but all they saw were pieces of broken pieces that collapsed at the touch.

The warships were all rotten, the spacecraft were all rotten, and there were holes everywhere on each ship. The metal materials on them had undergone natural molecular diffusion due to their age. The various structures of the ship that were originally distinct in material had been glued together at the joints. This phenomenon was caused by the fact that different structural materials had been attached for too long, and molecules diffused with each other.

The things in the ship were no longer recognizable, and they had all become pieces of blurred ruins.

Old, devastated, stale, aging, riddled with holes, dilapidated, and a whiff of decayed air was blowing in the face.

The instruments and equipment can only roughly distinguish the shape, and no equipment can keep running. In such a huge tomb of civilization, humans can't even detect the position of a potential difference.

All its energy facilities have been shut down, all instruments and equipment can no longer work, and as for the life forms in the ships, it is even impossible to tell whether they are life forms or not. They all return to dust.

Time seems to be using this ruin to prove its power to humans.

Time makes everything go to silence, makes everything be smoothed out in the increase of entropy, and makes everything go to death.

A civilization that can easily cross the stars just died with reluctance and helplessness. The information they tried their best to leave behind also gradually disappeared under the power of time.

If no human beings came here, it is estimated that no civilization would know that such a civilization had been here, and at the last moment of extinction, it tried hard to leave its own information in the universe.

Unfortunately, the reality did not match expectations. Humans could not read these words arranged by countless warships like QR codes. It was considered very powerful for humans to recognize that they were some kind of words. In other words, this level 4 civilization failed to leave its name despite its last efforts.

Except for the fact that humans knew that there was such an unknown civilization trapped and died in the Pioneer microcosm, they did not leave any information. How were they born, which star field was the civilization, what was the environment of the mother star, what was the experience of developing from a low-level civilization to a star-level civilization, what was the form of their individual life, what technology they were good at, what interesting things they experienced during their growth, what astronomical phenomena they discovered, and how did they come to this microcosm

All the experiences of this civilization, all the love and hatred of individual lives within the civilization, and the information about entanglements with other civilizations, no one knows anything.

Whether they were a civilization that once dominated the world, or an unknown civilization, whether they were a benevolent civilization or a malicious civilization, everything turned into the long river of time.

Sad, lamentable!

Humans searched several times, but did not find anything else to help decipher the ship's text wall. The linguists of human beings tried every possible way to understand the patterns composed of ships like QR codes, but they could not understand their meaning.

In the end, humans could only silently save the pictures as a memorial.

"We don't know what civilization you are, nor can we understand the meaning of the information you left, but we just know that you have been to this universe. Rest in peace, unlucky unknown civilization."

Humans silently sent a belated prayer to this unknown in their hearts. Of course, it was just a way of mourning. There was no god or master in this universe. Perhaps such mourning was just self-comfort and self-warning in the hearts of humans.

Because now no one dared to guarantee whether they would follow the footsteps of the unlucky unknown.

The people on the Tianqin moved their eyes away from the picture with thousands of sighs. Only the group of language experts still did not give up. They were still trying to understand these patterns composed of ships that were already difficult to distinguish, hoping to read something useful for humans to find the legacy of the pioneers.

In fact, this unfortunate unknown civilization not only left behind this piece of distorted ship text, but also told humans the approximate age they were in.

Of course, they did not really tell humans, but humans learned it through their own technical means after detecting and dating the remains of the unknown civilization.

This unknown civilization fleet should have arrived here 2 billion to 2.2 billion years ago. For such ancient archaeology, an error of 200 million years is actually very accurate. Just like human archaeology of the ancient era of the earth, an error of one million years is normal, especially during geological surveys.

2 billion years, such a long time compared to the history of the earth's development, it must be the same era as blue algae.

After obtaining this archaeological information, some experts have deduced an argument that is only a guess but no evidence, that is: this unfortunate unknown civilization may not belong to the category of the new generation civilization defined by the pioneers, so even if they can enter, they will not find anything.

This is certainly untenable. Not to mention that the time when the pioneers started the great voyage was a billion years apart from the time when this level 4 civilization came in, even if time is used to determine whether it is a new generation civilization, then this level 4 civilization should not even get the key to the small universe.

Unless it is really as the conspiracy theorists say: the pioneers made this scene just to destroy the new generation civilization.

This is obviously impossible. Perhaps the pioneers just want to tell the inherited civilization about the dangers of the universe.

Unable to find more clues from the ruins, humans have no choice but to continue to send out more detectors to continue searching.

This time it is not a random search, but to explore each large diamond crystal one by one. As for the empty space, there is nothing to find, but humans are observing various monochromatic lights in space in another way.

The purpose is still the same as before, hoping to find clues from it.

Time passed year after year, and humans tried all kinds of methods, but never found any relevant clues, but waited for an unexpected fleet.

When the human detector discovered them, the fleet also discovered that it had been detected.

The affiliation of this fleet was very familiar to humans. It was undoubtedly the Orange Star Civilization Fleet. They actually didn't know when they broke through the maze and came to the small universe.
