Chapter 189: Eternity

"Time and space, time and space, time and space have always been inseparable from each other, and talking about time without space is like talking about gravitational acceleration without gravity, which has no practical meaning at all. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but this provides a possibility for intelligent life to pursue eternal life. Time in the universe is constantly draining, which causes intelligent beings to have a limited lifespan.

No matter how technologically advanced a race is, as long as it is forever in the great universe and is affected by the internal space of the great universe, it will inevitably come to the end of its life. Because space is in constant motion, this creates a constant passage of time. If you want to have an endless lifespan, you must transcend the great universe.

There are two easier ways to achieve this possibility: the first is to build a small cosmic space like the Eternal Island, which is independent of the larger universe, so that you can set the speed of the space by yourself, so that time is in a relatively slow flow state. However, the space is too stable to have a certain impact on the survival of intelligent beings, but this impact can be minimized through certain technical means.

This method is the easiest to achieve, and it is the means used by the vast majority of civilizations that have developed to a higher level. Because this is the safest and most operable, even if they fail, they will not be devastated, and the powerful dimensional shield technology can provide sufficient guarantees for their safety. The vast majority of advanced civilizations live in an independent space like the Eternal Island, and it is not wrong to say that it is a small universe.

However, there will be no life in the universe established by the intelligent civilization itself, not even the lowest life, which is an unsolvable problem. If the big universe is an oasis full of life, then this artificially created small universe is a desert of life, absolutely barren except for the life brought in by man.

Moreover, such a small universe is very unstable, and a huge energy core is needed to provide it with continuous energy support. This huge energy source is far from what ordinary energy crystals can provide, it requires at least one neutron star or even a black hole!

The second way is to evolve the whole race, so that the entire race becomes a pure energy body that is more flexible than space. Yes, according to the known laws of physics, matter and energy can be converted into each other, nuclear fission can convert matter into energy, and energy compression crystallization is the conversion of energy into matter. Why, then, is it that only matter can make up intelligent life? Energy is also perfectly fine.

In fact, there have been civilizations that have found signs of life in the stars. Pure energy life, although very primitive, is like a prion in carbon-based organisms, which is only composed of a polypeptide chain, and there is no so-called intelligence at all. Not only that, but prions don't show signs of life at all after they leave their hosts. But even then, it is the simplest carbon-based life (known).

Since pure energy life forms can be found in the stars, it is not only very possible for intelligent life to evolve from the physical body to become pure energy life forms, but it is also possible. As long as it is done, then the lifeforms of this race will get rid of the coolness of lifespan, forever transcend reincarnation, and live with heaven and earth. As long as they can replenish their energy consumption in time, and this universe still exists, theoretically they will not die naturally.

There is one civilization in the universe that has achieved this, and they are the Blue Civilization. After 20 million years of civilization development, their entire clan got rid of the cool, transcended the physical body, and became an immortal and immortal existence like a pure energy body, and all the people of the tribe passed through the four-dimensional wormhole at the end of the universe into another universe, and only a small number of people remained in this universe. If my prediction is correct, there are now only two people left in the entire universe of the Youlan civilization," Natalie took Chen Peilin on the super advanced Eternal Island, and at the same time began her old habit of telling Chen Peilin about popular science.

Eternal Island deserves the name of eternity, at least Chen Peilin found that it was eternal. During this period of time, Chen Peilin did not even find even a single yellow fallen leaf on the island, and the physiological monitoring of the personal terminal showed that all his physiological status after entering the Eternal Island was maintained at the level of the moment he entered, and there was not even the slightest change.

"The Blue Civilization, such a wonderful civilization, can actually become an immortal and immortal existence like a pure energy body. In other words, there will definitely be many civilization attempts like this, even if there are some dangers, at most, it is good to leave some of the seeds of civilization to exist," Chen Peilin asked curiously.

"Of course, there are civilizations trying, and in fact there are quite a few such civilizations. Many civilizations will hide and silently study such technologies when they reach an advanced stage, some civilizations have failed, and some civilizations have voluntarily terminated the experiment because it was too difficult. The latter is still better, the former is not so wonderful, and the only outcome of the failure of the overall evolution of civilization is the collapse of all intelligent life forms and souls, and the complete disappearance of the entire civilization.

One of the prerequisites for the evolution of civilization is that all civilized creatures must participate, and even one less will work. This is the experience of the Blue Civilization, and it is the only necessary condition for the right one, and as for why, I am not very clear. Therefore, once many advanced civilizations carry out civilization promotion experiments, they will soon become known to the entire universe, because they will search for their own people in the whole universe, and they can't let people know about it," Natalie said.

Isn't the first way to achieve eternal life as well? Why do so many civilizations risk so much to evolve into pure energy bodies? Chen Peilin asked puzzled. In fact, it is not much to evolve into a pure energy body, well, there is a way, the more you gain, the more you lose, there will always be regrets.

"Do you know what is the coolest thing about the development of civilization to the end?" Natalie asked.

"What? Could it be that you know too much that the universe has no secrets in front of you? Chen Peilin asked suspiciously.

"Knowledge is endless, there is no end to exploration, and the universe is diverse, even if you complete the exploration of one universe, you can go to another universe and start over, there is no such problem" Natalie said with a mocking face.

"Aha, what do you say?" Chen Peilin asked awkwardly.

"It's energy. If you think about it, when civilization was in the primitive period, the energy obtained by burning a few plants was enough, and after the beginning of the industrial period, all the fossil fuels on the entire planet could not meet the needs of civilization. The third-level civilization can only use nuclear fission, the fourth-level civilization must use more advanced nuclear fusion, and the fifth-level civilization, the ordinary fusion reactor can no longer meet the requirements, and the cold fusion reactor with higher output and greater energy needs to be used. The low-energy energy spar is far from enough, and the energy must be artificially purified and compressed. On this basis, the sixth-level civilization must upgrade the energy spar by two levels in order to be able to basically meet its needs. By the time it reached the seventh level of civilization, ordinary energy crystals were far from being able to keep up with the demand, and they were consumed too quickly.

During the period of tertiary civilization, a fission reactor could be used for several years with a single charge. At level 7 civilization, a finished SSS-level energy crystal is only enough for a space cannon to be launched once! In order to meet the energy needs, some seventh-level civilizations even directly wrap the entire star, collecting all the star upheaval to produce energy as an energy source.

And what about the eighth-level civilization? What about the ninth-level civilization? What about even the legendary god-level civilization above it? The eighth-level civilization knows that they directly extract energy from neutron stars and black holes, and the ninth-level civilization is said to directly annihilate the small universe to obtain energy, which is already very terrifying, I doubt that one day a god-level civilization in our universe will be directly destroyed for energy needs to extract huge energy! Natalie said in horror.

"So what does this have to do with the evolution of civilization?" Chen Peilin asked puzzled.

"If it can't change energy from the outside to meet demand, why can't civilization change itself to adapt to energy?" Nina looked at Chen Peilin with a stupid expression and said speechlessly.

"Yes, that's it. A dozen kilograms of meat may not be enough for a large carnivore to meet the energy requirements of a meal, but for a group of ants, it is a winter ration for several years. Look at our fleet, and every time we pass through a star system, we will completely drain the resources of the entire star system to build generation ships to meet the needs of the newly increased population. But if we were only the size of an ant, an average individual fighter would be able to fit us all.

Therefore, after the intelligent civilization finds that level, it will either evolve into a pure energy body, or make itself infinitely smaller to adapt to the needs of energy, which is the most conventional way out for advanced civilizations, otherwise, the civilization will regress or even perish because of energy problems," Natalie said solemnly.

"Why do you know so well about the Blue Civilization, even how many of their clansmen know?" Chen Peilin asked curiously.

"Because we are the two people left" Natalie blinked, and then glanced at Nina, Chen Peilin only felt that a white light flickered in front of him, and the blue figures of Nina and Natalie appeared in front of Chen Peilin, gentle, peaceful and holy like angels in myths and legends............
