Prologue I
Another universe is extremely technologically advanced. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Human beings have already conquered the sea of stars, and are unremittingly exploring the ultimate mysteries of the universe, constantly expanding the colonial territory, and sending the fire of civilization into every corner of the universe.
Shattering the void is commonplace. Catching the stars and the moon is like waiting for leisure.
However, the stars are vast and full of wonders, and even with their technological prowess, there are still many forbidden areas in the universe that are difficult to set foot into.
The Yamidra galaxy is one of the most dangerous forbidden areas in the universe.
Moreover, it is the only universe forbidden area caused by man-made reasons among the ten most dangerous cosmic forbidden areas.
With the development of science and technology, more and more developed technology has brought more and more powerful destructive power of war, and the history of their civilization has a dark war history that lasts for tens of thousands of years.
These wars are not broken out in the planets, but the wars they understand are wars when the scale of the battle line is more than one galaxy.
Tens of thousands of years of war have exhausted their vitality.
If it weren't for the final Starfall War, the war would still have lasted for many years, and perhaps the war would have destroyed their entire civilization in the end.
Unlike other forbidden universes that are located at the edge of the universe, the Yamidra galaxy is located in the center of the galaxy cluster where human forces originated in the universe, and is the cradle of human civilization. Now, the cluster of galaxies, which is 10 million light-years in diameter, has been dimmed, exhausted by the war, and no longer shines in the stars.
Become a scar on the heart in the map of human power.
Most of the galaxies in this massive galaxy cluster have been reduced to the ruins of war. Everywhere you can see depleted stars, dilapidated debris, all kinds of cosmic storms, extreme celestial bodies, death black holes, space turbulence and countless void traps, so that the entire galaxy cluster has completely lost its use value and has been forgotten by mankind.
Only a few archaeologists occasionally come here to admire ancient civilizations or to educate on the theme of peace.
The former Amidra, meaning eternal light, was a super-galaxy formed by the greatest empire of the time, which spent endless manpower and spent 10,000 years to unite 99 adjacent galaxies in the center of the galaxy cluster.
It is a fortress that does not fall, it is the heart of the empire, it is the center of civilization. It is not an exaggeration to say anything about its greatness and prosperity. When ninety-nine galaxies the size of the Milky Way galaxy were united in defiance of the laws of the universe, when the Imperial Starfleet gathered here, when the ultimate weapon was successfully deployed, everyone believed that the Empire was about to win the final victory in this long war, and this would be the starting point for the Empire to conquer the entire universe, and Yamidra would become the center of the universe in the future.
And now, it has become the largest ruin in the Doomsday Cluster, a no-go zone in the universe.
It may not be quite accurate to call it ruins, although there are many ruins in several systems around Yamidra, which are littered with the remains of war fortresses and behemoths. Even judging from the level of science and technology and production capacity tens of thousands of years later, these incomparably large and hideous war machines are incomparably amazing, and it is hard to imagine how tragic the war was and how broad the battle front was. Many of these weapons are now included in the list of weapons prohibited for all mankind, and the relevant information is encrypted and buried in the corners of history. The occasional experimental weapon wreckage is even more whimsical in its construction concept, which makes people feel the madness and despair of human beings at that time. Although many of them are just delusions when viewed from the perspective of science and technology tens of thousands of years later, they have brought many inspirations and ideas for the development of science and technology in later generations, and have become an inexhaustible treasure trove.
The Yamidra System, or the Yamidra Nebula, at the center of the battlefield is more definite, but there are no artifacts left.
There is no trace of the glory days of that year, and what remains in place is a strange space with a diameter of hundreds of thousands of light years.
The whole space looks like a huge bubble from a distance, with a slight multicolored glow at the edges. The bubble resembles an ordinary nebula, with thin matter, and seems to return to the period when the universe was first born and galaxies were formed.
However, this is no ordinary nebula, and new galaxies will not form again.
If an intruder enters the Amidra Nebula, all tangible objects will undergo a rapid mass and energy transformation. For example, if a meteor or war ruins drifts into it, it may instantly turn into dazzling light and cosmic rays and disappear, but it can only emit less than one-tenth of the energy conversion equation, and no one knows where the remaining matter or energy goes. It is also possible that the dust turns into stars, creating mass out of nothing that is countless times heavier or even heavier than stars, bursting out of incomparable energy, and finally turning into nothingness.
And that's just the most superficial anomaly of this space. As it progresses, various energy fields will follow one after another and continue to strengthen, and the matter particles will undergo various migrations, which are difficult to predict and control. Most of the protective force fields will be useless, and everything will turn into energy and disappear after entering.
Alien objects cannot exist in this strange space, and the meager matter in the nebula cannot be brought out, and forcibly taking them out will only turn into energy and disappear. It is not surprising that technology has advanced to their level, and antimatter and many other matter have similar properties. But the matter in the Yamidra Nebula emitted is fierce and unpredictable, and there are very supernatural phenomena.
There were people who tried to sell it as cheap antimatter energy, but unfortunately these motes have not been able to get out of the nebula, and after bankruptcy, they plunged into the nebula and committed suicide, and there are many similar examples. Even after tens of thousands of years, human beings have to admit that some things in the universe are still in their unknown territory, and human beings are not gods yet.
These particles appear to be ordinary and inconspicuous, and their composition seems to be ordinary matter in the original galaxy, but there is no theory that can fully explain their properties.
This is the dust of Amidra, the ghost of history, a mystery that remains unsolved to this day.
For tens of thousands of years, countless brave explorers have been able to barely navigate the nebula by relying on various starships and relying on strong multi-dimensional isolation positions, but the energy consumption is very huge, and they can often only hold on for a short time.
And in the vast area of hundreds of thousands of light-years of the nebula, any means of faster-than-light navigation cannot be realized, and any means of long-range detection will fail.
Here, humanity seems to have returned to the beginning of civilization, helpless in the face of the vast void.
Brave explorers, even if technology has advanced to the point where they have a near-endless energy source to generate a multi-dimensional isolation protection field, can only sail in the shallow places of the nebula. And his eyes are black, he can't fly quickly, and he is helpless in the face of such a huge nebula.
What's more, the farther you fly to the central region of the nebula, the denser the dust becomes, and all kinds of sudden, extreme phenomena that violate the laws of physics and the laws of the universe come one after another, and those are the more deadly dangers.
The technology that conquered the sea of stars and dominated the universe with new humans was not able to explore the inner core of space until 7,000 years ago.
At that time, with the power of all mankind, hundreds of millions of starships were launched at once, and countless forbidden destructive weapons reappeared in front of the world from the dark corners of history, just to dispel the dust and fog inside the Yamidra Nebula in a short period of time and achieve faster-than-light travel.
Try to discover the truth of the lost history and try to find the treasures of the vanished empire.
However, the expedition team invested a lot of losses, except for seeing various extreme cosmic phenomena, no pre-war ruins were found, and the entire nebula was vast with fine dust, and there seemed to be nothing left. When the investment became larger and larger, and the tolerance limit was exceeded, the expedition was stopped, and the entire star field was designated as a forbidden area.
Fortunately, the bubble-like Yamidra Nebula has been slowly shrinking for tens of thousands of years, and it becomes very active every 3,000 years or so, lasting about a year, during which the nebula shrinks inward at a thousand-fold rate of normal. Over the years, the bubble has shrunk by almost a third.
Perhaps in the distant future, the entire Yamidra Nebula will disappear completely. The former dynasty and glory, the current cosmic forbidden area, will completely disappear into history.
During sharp contractions, however, the degree of danger becomes infinitely greater. If the Yamidra Nebula is one of the top ten forbidden areas in the universe in normal times, then when it is active, it is the most dangerous area in the universe, and no one has yet been able to penetrate into the core of the nebula during the active period of the Yamidra Nebula.
Until now.
Ignore distance, distort space. A starship appeared silently at the edge of the bubble, and the powerful stance brought by the space jump of the starship with a mass that surpassed the vast majority of planets caused the surrounding void to be chaotic for a long time. Although it is insignificant compared to a nebula with a diameter of hundreds of thousands of light-years, it is extremely large, dozens of times larger than the volume of mainstream cosmic-class starships.
With the current level of science and technology, it is not impossible to build such a huge starship, but after so many years of development, technology has long passed the era of pursuing blocks. Now miniaturization is the trend, and beauty and magnificence are the directions.
However, this starship has a strong retro style, with rough and hideous lines, a fierce appearance like a giant beast, and a writhing like a living creature when flying.
And from time to time, there were faint spatial streaks flickering around the starship, which seemed to be repelled by the laws of this universe.
The Yamidra Nebula not far in front of the starship is in the active period of once in three thousand years, and it is shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the edge of the nebula emits a far more brilliant colorful light than usual.
"Finally this day has come. A powerful thought came out of the starship, and then the behemoth-like starship slowly accelerated, passed through the colorful edge of the Yamidra Nebula, and silently entered the forbidden area of the universe.
Without a strong multi-dimensional isolation stance, without strong rejection and energyization, the starship flew faster and faster like a ghost through the mist in the Yamidra Nebula.
until the speed of light is breached.
