745 years of the galactic calendar, a permanent star.

"Because of the scholars of the University of Shinina, the current time is 17863 hours, 4 minutes and 75 seconds in the galactic calendar year 3165, and the eternal time is April 36, 5376...... Good Life AI at your service. Your itinerary for today is ......"

When he opened his eyes, the mechanical arm built into the sleeping cabin had deftly dressed himself, restrained his sleeping cabin and opened it, his boots stepped on the floor, and the small autonomous robot suspended next to him was telling the time and preparing for the trip for Inshi Nana.

About 7,000 years after the destruction of the legendary human home planet, the scope of human activity is no longer limited to the small solar system, but has spread to more than 120,000 star systems more than 5,000 light-years, and the number of administrative planets has reached more than 400,000, and the number is increasing every day.

Among these countless stars, some administrative planets have a population of only a few hundred people, and in an extremely cold and cold environment, there are very few scientific researchers and settlers, and some are as high as more than 100 million, the sky, the earth, and everywhere are densely covered with buildings, and the population density has reached more than 1 million people per cubic kilometer.

"The trillion-sharp sword towered, the sky was torn open, and the blade of the sword pointed straight at the stars in the sky......"

On the planets known as "urban worlds", humans have maximized the use of space. The huge building complex with a height of tens of thousands of miles is like a sharp sword plunged into the sky, showing the majesty of human wisdom in the cold.

A city is a planet, and a planet is a city.

Correspondingly, in order to adapt to this vast human territory, human life and political mechanisms have also undergone extremely drastic changes. Unable to exceed the speed of light, the vast human civilization can no longer be unified, and instead it is fragmented.

In the midst of these stars, you can see the idyllic scenery of the Middle Ages, but also the highly mechanized urban world, with political systems ranging from commercial city-states, theocratic dictatorships, aristocratic monarchies, electoral republics, and slave oppression...... All the social systems and social structures that have appeared in the history of mankind are all present in this starry sky.

Even the simplest way of recording time has changed.

People have retained the system of years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds as much as possible, but they have formed two calendars: the galactic calendar that is common to the whole galaxy, roughly takes the rotation of the galaxy as an epoch, and an epoch is divided into 100 million years, 22,000 hours per year, 60 minutes per hour, and 60 seconds per minute. The other is the native calendar used by each planet, which sets the year, month and day according to its different living needs.

With the galactic calendar, you can keep track of the time changes on an astronomical scale as you travel from planet to planet, and the native calendar allows you to know when the sun rises and sets.

And on this permanent star, as one of the most well-known scientific research planets in the entire galaxy, Innanai is one of the most famous university scholars.

"Inshinai University Scholar ......"

The university scholar had a grim face and hurried feet, ignoring the greeting crowd, calling out for the autonomic machine, and then flying on the frisbee-like machine on the planet full of magnificent buildings.

In front of him, those dense and huge buildings inserted into the sky even obscured the trace of the stars, and the clouds were only half up to their waist, in fact, the inhabitants of the eternal star had not seen stars and space for two thousand years, and those buildings that were tens or hundreds of kilometers high had already completely obscured the sky.

However, there is no need for daylight, the weather changes and light regulation of the entire planet are completely under the control of humans, and there is a special agency on this planet to manage all this. And in the depths of this planet, the fiery core has even become one of the sources of human energy supply.

Morning and evening, thunder and lightning, once regarded as a natural phenomenon of divine authority, are not much more difficult for human beings today than to turn on a lamp.

This is a time of great glory, where humanity stands at the top of the galaxy, and the children of the stars are growing to become the masters of the stars. But for this scholar, humanity is still a little short of the path to the Creator and the Creator God, and this is about to be filled by him.

"Please accept the authorization ......"

"Poof!"

In the face of the AI machine that tried to check the authorization, the university scholars did not look at it, and the AI machine that was invaded by massive data and information automatically retreated.

"Bang !!"

Relying on his repeatedly genetically modified body, he forcibly smashed open the security door in a brutal posture that was extremely inconsistent with his identity as a university scholar, causing the ground to be full of debris, and in front of the university scholars, a scholar who was doing his own scientific research looked up.

Looking at the broken door, he didn't seem surprised.

"Oh, Inshinana, why are you here......"

"I'm done!"

The scholar put down what he was holding and was about to say something, but because Shi Nanai interrupted him directly and rudely.

Solved?

The scholar was stunned, and then he reacted, his face surprised.

"What do you mean ......"

"Yes. ”

"I really found a way???

Because Shi Nana didn't speak again, there was a deep conceit in her indifferent pupils.

The scholar who knew the character of Inshi Nanai did not question it anymore, because he knew that the guy in front of him was a complete perfectionist, and he would never tell the outside world if he did not test the theoretical model dozens of times to ensure that it was flawless.

"It's incredible...... Are you going to discuss this at the PermaStar Science Conference?"

The scholar was surprised, and then asked.

"Perpetual Science Conference? Ha, my result is not something that the Permareal Science Conference can decide, you should understand this. ”

"Then what do you mean ......"

"The Supreme Scientific Conference of Humanity. ”

"You're going to make it?"

"Why would I spend forty-three years designing it?"

The scholar who was frightened by Shi Nanai's ambition was stunned and couldn't help asking, but the famous university scholar obviously couldn't say the wrong thing, and there was only fanaticism and ambition in his pupils.

The scholar was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath.

"Well, we can try our best to win over the scholars of the entire Eternal Star, and if all the scholars of the Eternal Star approve of it, then it will be much more likely to be approved at the Supreme Scientific Conference of Mankind. ”

Listening to his friend's words, the university scholar named Inshnana curled his lips.

......

After about 3,000 galactic hours, a new session of the Supreme Scientific Conference of Mankind began.

More than a million scholars from more than 400,000 administrative planets converge here, each of whom is an absolute authority on their respective planets, one in a trillion people on average, but on this eternal star of the galaxy's pride, their glory is only that.

It's a place where scholars from across the galaxy exchange ideas, and in an age of science, they unanimously make decisions that are enough to upend any interstellar regime.

And here, there is one person's issue that robs almost everyone of their brilliance.

"My fellow men, our science has come to a standstill!"

Within the spiritual network that transmits information at near the speed of light, a perverse scholar yells, and in front of him are millions of scholars.

"No matter how many more scientific meetings like this are held, it will not help, and in this cold void where the speed of light cannot be surpassed, our science has stopped. We can't do this anymore, we have to change that reality!"

Because Shi Nana's speech, like his character, is always so rough and wild, stubborn, but his wisdom is enough to convince everyone.

Apparently, though, not everyone thinks so.

"No, I don't think so, I think our science is still improving, at best at a slower pace. ”

Within this spiritual network where spirits can be materialized, one scholar shook his head and objected.

Looking at the scholars who refuted, Inshi Nanai did not refute directly, but asked a question first.

"Master Yununomo, can you tell everyone which planet you are from in which star field? ”

"Twenty-seven star districts, green swamp planets. ”

"How far is it from the Perma?"

"62.8 light years, Inshinai Scholar. ”

The scholar known as Ununomo was polite and fluent in answering Inshina's questions.

Inshi Nana nodded.

"Scholar Npuhum, can you tell us which planet in which star field you are from, and how far away is it from the eternal star?"

"Seventy-six Star Sector, Broken Diamond Planet, 185.6 light years, Scholar. ”

"Scholar Ziezan, can you tell us which planet in which field you are from, and how far away is it from the Eternal?"

"Eighty-three star district, Yellowstone, 171.2 light years, scholar. ”

“......”

"One hundred and fifty-nine star districts...... 288.3 light years, scholar. ”

Along with the questions of Inshina Nana, many scholars were long and short, some were a few light years, some were hundreds of light years, but many of them took nearly a hundred years and a long hibernation to come to the eternal city to participate in this scientific conference once every hundred years.

And in the end, the scholars who were the most distant from the entire scientific conference appeared.

"One thousand five hundred and eighty-eight star districts...... 1357.6 light years, scholars. ”

Among the many scholars, a calm scholar bowed down.

Even Inshina stopped talking.

1357 light-years, which is an extremely long distance, means that it took the scholar more than a thousand years to even get to Eternal.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Supreme Scientific Council of Humanity was announced 2,900 galactic years ago, and even if the news kept spreading to you, it would take 1,357 galactic years. ”

"Yes, scholar, you're right. About 1450 years ago, the 1,588th Star Sector received the news of the convening of the Human Supreme Science Conference, and our Star Region spent nearly 100 years collecting all the scientific and technological achievements of the 486 administrative stars in the entire Star Sector, and commissioned me to come to participate in the Human Supreme Science Conference. However, it seems that many of the scientific results we have summarized are outdated, and unfortunately they have not been able to help you. ”

The scholars speak calmly, but the content is not at all calm.

Human beings have only used the Milky Way for 3165 years, and the establishment of the Eternal Star is only about 1,500 galactic years, that is to say, almost soon after the establishment of the Eternal Star, in the distant starry sky, one of the most remote star regions got the news, and immediately sent the best scholars in their own star regions to come here with all their scientific achievements to participate in this supreme scientific meeting of mankind that no one knows what the outcome will be.

"Mamgu Midona Scholar...... You don't really have to spend your years. ”

Mamgumidana shook her head.

"No, because of Scholar Schnanai, I don't think my presence was wrong. Although many of the scientific research achievements I brought are outdated, we have thought of this long before we set off, but we firmly believe that among all the wisdom crystallization of the 486 administrative stars, there must also be human beings belonging to our star region, and their own unique opinions, which will definitely be able to help the scientific progress of human beings in the whole galaxy. ”

Inshina looked at him, and the scholar, who had always been arrogant, bowed solemnly to the scholar in front of him.

Mamgu Midana did not shy away from it, but accepted Inshnana's respect, because this respect was not for him, but for the entire star district he represented, and all the scholars who had worked so hard to do so.

Then, Inshina raised his head, looked at the many scholars in front of him, and then said.

"Fellow travellers, our science has come to a standstill. In this universe where the speed of light cannot be surpassed, we are forced to disperse, scholars can only discuss their results on a very small scale, and the whole universe is full of repetitive research and waste. Not only scientific knowledge, but also ambitious warlords cannot overcome this barrier of light years. ”

"My companions, my dear friends in the world of science, we should find a way to change this......"

The speed of discussion in the mental network is very fast, far more than a million times that of verbal discussion in reality, but even this efficient speed of discussion still does not reduce the passage of time in reality.

Three hours later, the session of the Supreme Scientific Conference of Mankind was over.

And under the decision of the Supreme Scientific Council of the Whole Mankind, all the human kingdoms within the range of communication received a message that was half command, half threat.

In the face of this news, no human kingdom would refuse, after all, in front of those scientists who have mastered countless black technologies, no human kingdom can withstand their retaliation.

After all, this is an era when science reigns supreme.

......

In a galaxy 23 light-years away from a permanent star.

The dazzling blue giant, whose dazzling light is hundreds of times brighter than the sun, is the brightest star in the universe, but the excessively bright red-hot heat also makes it extremely easy to drain its own energy, and it is usually very short-lived, only tens of millions of years, which is extremely short-lived among stars that often live billions of years.

But for academics, this kind of thing doesn't matter at all, all they need is a star big enough to support their goals, and they have a way to maintain the longevity of blue giants anyway.

"Build a ring large enough to circle the entire blue giant, sustained by the energy of the blue giant?

Looking at the news, many human kingdoms felt that these people who were full of brains and didn't know what to think about were finally collectively crazy.

But the Supreme Scientific Council had its own detailed plans and engineering drawings, as well as the technology to build the massive building.

"This super-man-made will be unprecedentedly large, countless times larger than any structure we've ever seen or known. ”

"A normal planet, even if it is built into an urban world, its population capacity is only about 100 million, which is basically the limit, even if it is a larger planet, it will not exceed 100 or 10,000 times, this is the limit of the planet that naturally exists in the universe. The limit of what the universe can create is the limit of what it can create. ”

"But since none of the forces of the universe can create a more suitable planet than this, then why don't we build a ?!! ourselves?"

"Look! a super artificial star that is trillions times larger than the largest administrative star in the human world! This star will be able to hold the entire population within 5,000 light-years!"

"If there are not enough planets in a galaxy to build, then we will use ten, a hundred, even if we extinguish the stars and dismantle tens of thousands of planets, we will build this unprecedented behemoth!"

In the spiritual network, in the face of millions of scholars, because of Shi Nana's unbridled laughter.

"Hahahahaha...... Let us be the Creators!!"
