Chapter 502: Laniakea Supercluster

Back to the Laniakea Supercluster, in the universe, large-scale star structures have always been the tireless pursuit of scientists, in short, the pursuit of a larger and stronger comparison psychology, including Cao Chuan himself.

According to current astronomical technology, the universe as human cognition, from the Milky Way upwards, is first of all the local galaxy cluster containing a total of 500 large galaxies and dwarf galaxies, such as the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy, and the Triangulum Galaxy, with a diameter of 10 million light years.

Further up is the Cluster of Hostos, the Virgo Cluster, the Canis Cluster, the Virgo II cloud... The 100 million light-year-diameter Virgo Supercluster, also known as the Ben Supercluster, contains more than 2,000 galaxies.

In the early days, astronomers usually combined galaxies close to each other into galaxy clusters and superclusters, and later gradually developed to divide them according to the direction of rotation and recession, which is essentially a division of galaxies affected by common gravity, including nebulae and star clusters inside galaxies.

Then there is the Laniakea Supercluster, its three major components are the Virgo Supercluster, the Serpent-Centauri Supercluster, and the Peacock-Indian Supercluster.

The Laniakea Supercluster, its diameter is 520 million light-years, it includes 100,000 galaxies, it is almost the largest independent star structure that houses human beings, and it can distinguish such a huge star structure in the ancient light, which means that the enemy of mankind is unknown to be on such a front, and even the condescending view of the Laniakea Supercluster like God can present such an extreme scene.

"However, even the shadow of Andromeda, even a more eternal and supreme being than the shadow of Andromeda, cannot control such a vast starry sky, in which we are bound to find territory for us to explore." Cao Chuan didn't panic because of this, "Sylvie, let's present the unknown distribution of forces in the second part." ”

The unknown is cosmic life, and their activities will continue to modify the galaxy environment, such as dark energy, and then reach a critical value, so the galaxies they conquer are bound to be able to be expressed through ultra-long-distance observation.

Unfortunately, what they saw was light from 5 million years ago, and considering the time it took for light to travel through the Laniakea Supercluster, the margin of error would be magnified to 5 million to 500 million, which is completely meaningless.

However, there is an advantage to this time, the location of this observation point is at the edge of the Laniakea supercluster, there is no large amount of stardust material, and the clarity of the dazzling galaxy and dark matter cloud can be said to be amazing, and it still has considerable reference significance.

The first thing they set their eyes on was the Andromeda Galaxy, "Sure enough, that sea of stars was conquered." Cao Chuan muttered, "The Andromeda Galaxy is the closest galaxy to us, and we can't go in that direction, otherwise we will face an enemy that is even more terrible than the Deep Dive Parent Type." ”

"The Triangularity Galaxy is peaceful and silent, that is, it is close to the Andromeda Galaxy." Nana suddenly found a nice place, and her eyes flashed with essence, as if she wanted to go there to develop.

"As for the dwarf galaxies, such as the Big Magellanic Galaxy, the Small Magellanic Galaxy, and the SagDEG are not occupied at all, and at most there is some V-class unknown activity."

The Local Cluster is the only thing they can think about now, and after breaking away from the Local Cluster, the Laniakea Supercluster has less to do with them

But curiosity is human nature, and Cao Chuan still keeps shrinking the map of the universe, hoping to see the macro world clearly.

More and more galaxies are presented in front of the unknown, with a total of more than 5,000, and it must be added that this represents the kind that has been completely conquered, and more galaxies are still in the deep diving mother type and other unknown reclamations, and there are no traces of them in the starry sky from 5 million years ago.

"Originally, I thought Dalakpu was joking, but now it seems that the fact that the unknown conquered the sea of stars is indeed good, and if human beings want to accomplish such a great cause, they can't do it without killing the unknown."

Cao Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, he saw that there were traces of unknown distribution in so many galaxies, so the remaining galaxies that had not yet been explored should become the coveted objects of human beings, and it was the right way to grab the territory as soon as possible.

Even so, this is just self-consolation, so many galaxies conquered by the unknown are simply a dark cloud hanging over the heads of mankind, lingering, irresistible, and causing great stress and even despair.

It's a pity that there are never two words of despair in Cao Chuan's dictionary, "You guys, it's almost time to do something serious, I admit that this map of the universe is very beautiful, it can be used for us to look at for a few years, don't you do the remaining two things first?" This will allow you to return to the regular universe sooner. ”

Nana guessed what the master was trying to say: "The first thing the master said was to confirm the location of the great presence that had shot at Ursa, and according to the clues of that light, it was in the Peacock-Indian Supercluster. ”

Nana manipulated and marked some information, "The unknown social structure is not stable and united, suppose we divide this galaxy cluster into a small unknown sphere of influence, and the Peacock-Indian supercluster into a large block, and the two are opposites. ”

"If we use this antagonism to our advantage, whether it's onlookers or something else, experience so far shows that it can make us live longer."

Nana finished analyzing, and Cao Chuan agreed, he really wanted to fight with the unknown, but well, there is no reason to refuse this kind of point that they can use, right? He kept it in his heart.

"The second question is why there are no alien 'allies' in the Laniakea Supercluster. Assuming that for such a long period of time for civilization to develop, theoretically they are enough to develop to an extremely high level, and the Star Destroyer is a trivial matter, maybe they can destroy the galaxy and kill the great existence. ”

"Did they show too much and be hit by the unknown? So our allies are still gone? Imagine the unknown nature, and there seems to be nothing wrong with that. Whatever the truth is, we should search for it. ”

Sylvie repeatedly patrolled the map of the universe, "Master, I'm sorry... I really didn't find any signs of an alien civilization taking over the galaxy, maybe the direction of their tech tree allowed them to hide themselves completely? Or is their tech tree in the same direction as the unknown, and the results are mixed up and indistinguishable? ”

"There is this possibility, it seems that humanity should pay a little attention, the road ahead will be more and more difficult, since so far, we still can't find allies, then we can only rely on our own to go on, and in the process, to ensure a steady enough pace and some aspects of the advantage, is the key to the survival of civilization."
