Chapter 116: The Gate to Type II
At the end of the expedition, Noah managed to retrieve the Sidney dwelling ship and capture a large number of Kara ships. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although Salmos's refusal to commit suicide was somewhat unexpected by Noah, it did not affect the outcome of this victory, and the fleet had about 50,000 Kara people, all of whom were imprisoned by Noah in a ship that no longer belonged to them, waiting for Noah's sentence to pronounce on them.
Intellectually, Noah believed that he should absorb this part of the Kara people as his population resource. Emotionally, Noah thinks he should make them pay for what their civilization has done.
However, for the purpose of expanding the resources at his disposal, Noah still retained this part of the Kara people, whether it was to accept Kara as a subordinate race, or to use them as a bargaining chip to contact the other fleets of the Kara civilization in the future, which was a wealth that should not be underestimated.
But even so, the plan for the disposition of this part of the Kara people is actually only secondary, and by reading the logbook of this fleet, Noah has a general understanding of what happened to the Kara civilization.
There is an unknown powerful civilization that has turned the solar system and the Kara civilization within it into cosmic fireworks.
The girl who learned of this fact was silent for a long time, and it stands to reason that she should be happy about the destruction of the enemy, but the Kara civilization, which had been confronted by her for tens of thousands of years, actually fell into the situation of extinction so easily, which made the girl feel confused about her fate before she was happy.
Combined with the scene of the sun's brightness surge and disappearance, Noah preliminarily deduced that an unknown civilization also used the method of detonating stars to destroy the Kara civilization, but Noah did not understand how to do it, in Noah's cognition, it is not efficient to exterminate the civilization in the galaxy by detonating the star, because the civilization that is attacked cannot be too civilized, when the civilization develops to a certain extent, especially the advanced civilization like the Kara civilization and Noah, as long as you are prepared, It is possible to escape the planetary system with a fleet almost instantaneously at the moment of the star detonation, and even if the blow is very sudden, it is impossible to completely wipe out a high civilization.
But the logbook concluded that not a single spacecraft in the solar system escaped......
This made Noah have to think about whether the mysterious civilization that exterminated Kara would have a planetary system-level strike method that surpassed the light particles, and extinguishing the sun may only be incidental, if this conclusion is true, then Noah, who is 80 light-years away from the solar system, is undoubtedly quite dangerous.
Based on his own interests, Noah didn't know what the benefit of the mysterious civilization was in destroying the Kara civilization, but because he didn't know the purpose of the mysterious civilization, Noah couldn't be sure that he was not within the scope of the mysterious civilization.
80 light years is not too long a distance for any Type 2 civilization, and if the other party really launches a search, it will be a matter of time before Noah is discovered.
This undoubtedly frightened the girl, after all, in the metaphor of the Flying Dancer civilization, there is no ruling civilization and high-ranking own civilization within the 5th degree range of the galaxy where she is located, which means that this is still a primitive dark forest, but this rash appearance of the civilization undoubtedly broke this conclusion, and looking at the other party's style of acting obviously does not belong to the ruling civilization, then the other party is likely to be a powerful civilization of its own.
The existence of one's own civilization will not illuminate the dark forest, and if the existence of the first type of one's own civilization will make the dark forest even darker, Noah does not know whether this mysterious civilization is lurking within 5 degrees of this galaxy or a stowaway from other regions, but in either case, the other party is likely to be the most powerful predator in this dark forest, and in the primeval dark forest, what will happen is unknown.
The only thing that made Noah feel fortunate was the decision he had made before, the ark had already led a part of the fleet from the galaxy's home port to the Orion Spiral Arm border far away from the solar system and the Water Commission, so that even if the Water Commission was discovered and attacked, the core part of the Earth civilization would still remain.
Noah didn't know where that fleet would end up, but Noah knew that it was his second life.
Expeditions to the solar system continue, and 101 white doves are about to pass through the Centaur star and will arrive in the solar system within an Earth year.
No matter what happened, Noah also wanted to see what the end of Mother Earth, the cradle of human civilization, finally ushered in.
On the other hand, half of the stellar fleet sent by Noah began to separate to search for the various Sidnian inhabitants that still had survival signals, and a small part of the fleet escorted the Kara fleet captured by Noah back to the sea commission.
These most cutting-edge ships of the Kara civilization contain a large amount of technology, and they will be able to supplement Noah's technology tree to the greatest extent and complete the technology reserve of Noah's impact type 2 civilization.
One of the things that intrigued Noah the most was the second faster-than-light navigation technology that had recently broken through the Kara civilization - micro-wormhole transportation.
Wormholes, formally known as space-time holes, also known as Einstein-Rosen bridges, also translated as cavities or silverfishes, are narrow tunnels that may exist in the universe connecting two different space-times.
Wormhole was first proposed by Austrian physicist Ludwig Flaim in 1916, and hypothesized by Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen in 1930 when studying the gravitational field equation, that instantaneous space transfer or time travel can be done through wormholes.
Wormhole transportation technology is also a technology that has been widely mentioned in the human era, at a time when it was limited by the speed of light constant c, and curvature navigation was also only a theory, many scholars believed that it was a more likely means of navigation to break the speed of light limit than curvature navigation.
Theoretically, a wormhole is a multi-dimensional space tunnel connecting two distant space-times, like a whirlpool in the ocean, which is ubiquitous but fleeting. These space-time vortices may be caused by a combination of star rotation and gravity. Just as a whirlpool can bring a local water surface closer to the bottom of the water, two local spaces that are far apart can instantly get closer together.
In Noah's research on curvature navigation, the discovery of the sea surface in time and space has increased the credibility of the existence of wormholes in a sense.
But even so, Noah never officially observed the existence of wormholes. The realization of micro-wormhole transportation technology has raised Noah's evaluation of the Kara civilization to a higher level.
According to the current technology tree of the earth's civilization as a blueprint, if the technological explosion and some accidental factors are excluded from the technological mutation, microwormhole transportation is likely to be the technology that the earth's civilization will only come into contact with after it is officially upgraded to a type 2 civilization.
The Kara civilization is indeed quite close to a Type 2 civilization, and their achievements in the field of faster-than-light travel far exceed their current civilization level.
Every civilization may have a field of expertise, just as every scholar has a specialization, even the extinct human civilization in the Gamma Age, they also have the grand unified theory.
This made Noah feel a little lost, it turned out that his technology tree was quite "balanced".
While equilibrium may mean being well-rounded, those who do not have a specialization may be at a disadvantage to a certain extent when facing civilizations with a similar level of civilization that possess a specialization.
Just like the current Noah is almost the same as Kara in the spaceship, with the interstellar battlefield advantage of intelligent life, Noah's fleet was originally invincible, but the gap in curvature and speed still puts Noah at a certain strategic disadvantage.
After all, you can beat the opponent, but you can't outrun the opponent, you can run if you win the opponent, and you can't outrun the opponent if you lose......
This is the rather helpless and embarrassing truth.
Noah has decided that he will cooperate with the inspiration brought by the microwormhole transportation technology to increase the extreme curvature speed of his spacecraft as much as possible to make up for this last shortcoming.
At the same time, when everything is stable, Noah will start to develop unique technology that belongs to the earth's civilization.
Just as the entropy enhancement weapon is the unique technology of the Flying Dancer civilization, although the high-level civilizations in the universe that may exist in other universes similar to the Flying Dancers will also make achievements in entropy enhancement technology, it is likely that they have not achieved the same level as the Flying Dancers, and with the passing of the Flying Dancers, if no other civilization has obtained the inheritance of entropy enhancement weapons, below a certain level of high-level civilization, entropy enhancement technology has become the unique technology of the earth's civilization in a sense.
However, entropy technology is so unconventional that Noah can't use it at all, which is a very embarrassing fact.
According to the revelation of the Dancer civilization, a correct path of development is unknown to all civilizations, with the continuous deepening of science and technology, each civilization may have different understandings of the universe, one civilization can learn from the technology of another civilization, but with the continuous evolution of the technology tree, rashly accepting the technology of another civilization with too different technology trees may have an impact on the original technology tree of their own civilization.
Therefore, although there is no correct path of development, there is a correct way of development, if you want to truly move to the high position of the universe, after all, you must rely on the development of civilization itself, and it is not advisable to blindly learn to copy the science and technology of other civilizations.
But for Noah, the technology tree of the Kara civilization is a special case, after all, when Noah was still in the solar system, the lost Kara spaceship was the first enlightenment of the earth civilization from the universe, and Noah obtained a lot of science and technology from it, and the earth civilization at that time had just opened the door to the universe, just like a sprout under the watering of the technology of the Kara civilization that was already above 1.70 type at that time, the technology tree after the earth civilization grew, and in a sense, the shadow of the Kara civilization was in it.
Therefore, although the Kara civilization is an enemy, they are also Noah's teachers in a sense, and accepting the Kara civilization's technology tree will not have a negative impact on Noah's technology tree, it will only make Noah's technology tree grow stronger.
Noah knew that the capture of this Kara fleet announced that Noah had opened Generation 1.90, which was the true apex of Type 1 civilizations, and after that, when the antimatter technology made a breakthrough, Noah would be able to completely open the door to Type 2 civilizations.
The Flying Dancer civilization said that Type 2 civilization is also a very rare high-level civilization in the entire galaxy, and every Type 2 civilization can be a ruling civilization or a high-level civilization, after Noah successfully becomes a Type 2 civilization, as long as there is no war with other Type 2 civilizations in the future, there will basically be no pressure to survive in the universe.
