Carefully deduce the starry sky picture, and the form of civilization is full of doubts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is it over? Is this really the end?

Floating in the dark space, Xinglan quietly stared at Lanxing in front of her, still feeling a little dazed about what had happened before.

The Yelai civilization must have been destroyed, but Xinglan had never thought of arranging signalns outside the star system, so in the last silent attack, all the signalors she left there collapsed in the state of energy flow.

The spatial coordinates were completely lost, and not only did she not know what means the strange civilization used to directly destroy the entire star system, but she didn't even know what that star system ended up into, and she couldn't go back there again.

Look at the dense and brilliant stars in the universe, after all the members have been destroyed, who will remember the existence of such a civilization there, and the spectacle of the two days and four hours on their unique home planet?

It's over, a story that has lasted for billions of years just ended in an instant, quietly began, quietly ended, and left no trace in the world.

"Is it all my fault?"

Sighing softly, Xing Lan still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

If it weren't for her, the Yelai wouldn't have gotten the weird jump engine parts, and they wouldn't have ventured into the space gate experiment with a glimmer of hope, maybe they would have continued to toss in this dead end for a long time before developing a real space jump technology, and then fully entering the era of interstellar civilization.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs and ifs in this world.

As for why the parts of the jump engine provoked such a terrifying civilization, it obviously doesn't make sense to say that it originally had the function of attracting enemies, after all, Xinglan clearly knew from the broken spaceship that it was just a spaceship that had a glimmer of hope to explore the universe, and the civilization that made it didn't need to do anything about it.

With further reasoning, Xinglan suddenly thought of the last declaration across the void, which was obviously not something that the Yelai people could send, it should have been from the hands of that terrifying civilization, but the relic they were talking about...... Relic? Suddenly, a terrifying conjecture gradually emerged in her mind, could it be ......

Perhaps the civilization that created this chaotic jump engine and left quantum level of encrypted information on its internal structure...... It's actually the same civilization that attacked the Yelai civilization this time!

In this case, their motives are well explained, and those quantum-level encrypted messages are not at all to provoke destruction, but simply to contact their companions.

Some people may think that a broken spaceship that can't even survive the chaotic jump is so far from the technical level of the beam that destroyed the entire star system that it doesn't seem to belong to the same civilization at all, but have you ever thought about how much time has passed since Xinglan got that broken ship?

About 900 million years or so.

If a civilization that had mastered the rudimentary chaotic transition technology 900 million years ago still exists today, I am afraid that the level of their technology is almost beyond imagination.

Thinking of this, Xinglan discovered something even more incredible, if the quantum-level encrypted information recorded by this civilization really existed on that chaotic jump engine, then their historical records were almost uninterrupted and never discarded? This is incredible, no matter how much attention is paid to historical records, it is unlikely that an inconspicuous experimental signal will be preserved for 900 million years, right?

After all, even if it was possible to transform the members of an entire civilization into an immortal race, it would be too long...... It's been a long time even for a creature like the Locking Capsule.

No, perhaps...... Maybe it's not 900 million years old?

Thinking of the disturbance to the timeline caused by each ultra-long-range interstellar space jump, Xinglan seemed to realize something slightly, this phenomenon of synchronous time jumping along with space jumps is as insurmountable as the most basic universal law of this universe, even the long-term space gate connecting Lan Xing and the nearest red giant star is only a pseudo-time-free phenomenon caused by the proximity of its own distance and the maximum weakening of the signal...... That is, the time difference is almost so short that you can't feel it.

This seems to be an iron law written in the laws of the universe: you can use various means to shrink the time across two spaces, and constantly compress it to almost infinitesimal size, but it is destined to be impossible to shrink to zero, and there is no real space gate without time difference.

If a civilization reaches the point where it can easily make ultra-long-range space jumps, it is obvious that they will not be willing to remain in the original small space, but if this terrifying time barrier really exists, then a large number of people will be separated in different starfleets, and these starfleets will be divided in different spaces and times...... Especially the latter, even quantum communication is unlikely to solve the problem of time splitting! So, what will happen to these interstellar civilizations in a large-scale interstellar operation......

"Split, divided by endless fragments of time and space in different worlds, it is impossible for a unified government to manage fleets in countless different temporal flows, so it is bound to turn into countless ......" Xinglan stared at the bright cosmic starry sky in front of her, and clearly felt as if she had stumbled upon something amazing, "Civilization fragments! ”

However, there is still a possibility. The gap between the signal subspace gate and the simple jump engine has already told Xinglan that this time disturbance is not a definite value, but can be continuously weakened by technical means, if you can really make the time disturbance of the space channel infinitely close to zero, then what is the difference between it and the real time-free space gate?

A detailed vein gradually formed in his mind, connecting countless information, and a large amount of data was frantically calculated and deduced in the signal subnetwork, and finally, the most likely form of cosmic civilization was displayed in front of Xinglan.

Low-level civilizations include primitive civilizations that have not set foot on the planet and space civilizations that can explore the star system in which they are located, which is a division that covers the exploration of primitive societies all the way to other planets. Judging from Xinglan's experience, the peak of civilization at this stage should be to develop to the arbitrary use of nuclear fusion and nuclear fission, and at the same time begin to initially apply antimatter energy, and have the ability to travel freely in the interior of the star system, but there is no perfect interstellar transition technology.

Intermediate civilizations, the civilization that has really developed the perfect space transition technology, they will step into the river system era from the original star system era in one fell swoop, and the coverage of this stage is also very wide, from being able to jump between neighboring star systems to being able to travel between different river systems, however, the timeline disturbance caused by space travel will bring unpredictable huge pressure to their social structure, and the life span brought by the long span, Ethical and even technological gaps will further exacerbate the contradictions within these civilizations. If Xinglan's reasoning is correct, the peak state of this stage will be the complete disintegration of the entire civilization, turning into countless fragments of civilization floating in the sea of stars, but even these small fleets have the power to destroy most ordinary civilizations.

Eventually, these intermediate civilizations will break through to advanced civilizations, at this time perhaps the timeline disturbance still exists, but the impact caused by it has been weakened by superb technology to the extent that it is no longer enough to break the entire race, the form of civilization fragments still exists, but most of the members of the race will once again explore the universe in coordination under the same government, which will be a form of loose management mode, but the degree of centralization is far greater than that of intermediate civilizations...... In a mid-level civilization, if you rebel, no one will be able to catch you if you drill into the endless starry sky, but an advanced civilization will inevitably have the ability to locate its members in the universe and intercept and kill them through the main fleet.

As for what is above the advanced civilization...... It is difficult to determine whether there is a real super-civilization or not, because this itself is a very general way of dividing, just a rough standard.

After determining the standard, Xinglan slightly recalled the civilizations he had encountered, whether it was the Yelai civilization or the Earth civilization that was a hundred years more advanced than it, both of them were obviously still in the transition stage from primary civilization to intermediate civilization, and they were both arbitrary explorations within the star system, but there was no perfect system for transition technology...... The difference is that the latter has gone a little further than the former, perhaps slightly entering the intermediate civilization.

Since most of Qing Cheng's technology was obtained from Xiao Cheng, even after a lot of improvements, Xing Lan felt that the technology at hand was still stuck in this transitional period, and the terrible travel method that Chaos Jump was completely unlocatable obviously could not be counted towards the perfect space travel ability.

However, if it is a signal sub, it may not be as fine as the technology system in terms of details, but it is definitely a real mid-level civilization in terms of energy progression, destructive power and interstellar travel ability! Xing Lan remembered the spherical space city that only three individuals piloted and wanted to invade here, considering the other party's perfect space leap technology and the technical strength that almost crushed Xinglan's technological weapons, plus those strange ways of acting were very similar to the fragments of civilization that Xing Lan guessed, then they should belong to the intermediate civilization.

And being able to defeat them so directly, even if it's just a squad, proves that the signalman does have mid-level civilization-level abilities in battle.

In the end, there are the most terrifying guys, the terrifying existence that makes Xinglan completely powerless to fight at this stage, whether it is the Aerial Disc that almost plays with space technology at his fingertips, the Yuchen that can create a terrifying nebula and lightning on a terrifying scale, or the mysterious civilization that destroyed the entire star system by just sending a beam of light this time, they should at least be at the level of a high-level civilization...... Even a super-civilization may be.

However, after such a careful analysis, Xinglan couldn't help but feel that something was wrong, she had carefully observed the nearby starry sky when she had not yet created Lanxing, and it was certain that there was no civilization in the starry sky within tens of thousands of light-years near Lanxing that could reach the space age. Even if tens of thousands of light years may be just a drop in the ocean for the huge universe, it is enough to show that the distribution of civilized races in the universe should be very sparse......

Random and random, so many journeys seem to be randomly chosen destinations, but isn't the probability of encountering strange things a little ridiculously high? Thinking of this, Xing Lan felt a slight uneasiness in her heart, either it was really a purely coincidental event, or it was ...... Something you don't know is influencing the progress of all this, making pure randomness become so-called pseudo-random!

This question is destined to be unanswered in a short time, and with a slight sigh, Xinglan still set her eyes on the lightning clouds that are hidden by the lightning clouds, although this interstellar journey seems to be a little shorter, but it is time to go back......
