It was only at this time that Yang Yi had enough understanding of the situation of human civilization in the Second Age. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the latter part of the Second Age, hundreds of years before the "Apocalypse", humanity had learned enough about other star systems to even know that there were intelligent civilizations in the Southern Alpha Galaxy. However, due to the limitation of long distances, human beings cannot successfully cross the obstacles between star systems, at least they cannot guarantee that they can reach other star systems smoothly and in time, so they have not marched into other star systems. However, human beings have not given up the idea of going to other star systems, and have been working hard to achieve this, that is, to explore and find the technology and methods to cross the star system and sail across the star system, and have made various attempts.

Of course, it was these attempts that led to the subsequent disaster.

It's just that when predicting the imminent catastrophe, some scientists, including Yu Tingxuan, realized that human beings and other civilizations of the Galactic Alliance might have to be forced to leave the galaxy and go to other star systems. Regardless of whether it can succeed or not, after reaching other star systems, it will inevitably clash with the local indigenous civilizations. If war cannot be avoided and can not coexist peacefully with indigenous civilizations, then it is necessary to prepare for war, and it is necessary to bring advanced weapons that are sufficient to defeat indigenous civilizations. It is with these factors in mind that in the preparation stage, human scientists equipped the escape spacecraft with weapons, and also made all the spacecraft carry human scientific and technological information.

It can be said that human scientists are prepared for the worst.

The problem is that people are not as good as heaven.

"Although we already knew before we set out that there were enough star systems in the South Alpha Galaxy, and that many of them had terrestrial planets with suitable environments, and that some of them must have produced intelligent civilizations, we did not know the extent of the development of these civilizations, and it was not clear whether we could defeat them with our technology. What's more, no one can be sure that we are well prepared. To put it simply, we must prepare for the worst, and even sacrifice ourselves if necessary to preserve the bigger picture. The memory sighed and replied, "But after coming to the Southern Alpha System, we found that the indigenous civilizations here are very backward, and even if some of them have entered the industrial age and have mastered science and technology, the gap between them and us is very large. What's more, most indigenous civilizations were still in the period of obscurantism. Obviously, we don't have to go to war with these indigenous civilizations at all, and we can appear to them as gods. In fact, this is what we did after we came to the Southern Alpha system. If there is no rebellion, we will be able to control the entire Southern Alpha system while preserving the indigenous civilization, and become the masters here. ”

"It's just that there was a rebellion."

The memory reluctantly smiled and said, "According to our plan, after taking control of the indigenous civilization, we will build a powerful army as quickly as possible. ”

"You mean ......"

"Why do you think we chose the Southern Alpha system over other star systems?"

Yang Yi shook his head, waiting for the memory to continue.

"Very simply, before the catastrophe, we not only discovered the existence of intelligent civilizations in the Southern Alpha Galaxy, but also discovered the Northern Alpha Galaxy, and concluded that there was one in the Northern Alpha Galaxy, at least a very technologically advanced civilization, through the intercepted space fluctuation signals. According to the judgment of the time, this civilization has already mastered space technology, or space technology controlled by the original energy. Obviously, this civilization has enough ability to leap through the not very long Greenwich meteorite belt, and it will be able to control the Southern Alpha system, at least to appear in the Southern Alpha system as a god, so as to control the indigenous civilizations in the Southern Alpha system. ”

"And then?"

"Obviously, this is not what we found. Quite simply, there are no such civilizations in the Southern Alpha System, and we have not detected any signals that are strong enough to be associated with space channels. In other words, there is no civilization in the Southern Alpha system that has mastered this technology. ”

"What does it matter?"

"Of course it's relevant, and it's extremely important."

"What's the relationship?"

The Memory sighed and said, "The fact that humanity was able to make the leap and dominate the entire galaxy and become a god-like existence in the eyes of other civilizations is actually related to one person, and to a major discovery we made at the end of the First Age. This major discovery gave us the first contact with the technology related to the original energy, and also allowed us to discover that the original energy can control space, so as to overcome the limitation of the speed of light and cross the long distances between galaxies. It is this technology that allows us to leave the solar system and move towards other galaxies in the Milky Way. It's just that we don't know where the technology came from, other than knowing that it was related to a person. ”

Yang Yi frowned, but he was shocked in his heart, because he knew who the person the memory was talking about.

"Of course, only one thing is certain." The memory glanced at Yang Yi and said, "That person left the solar system after mastering this technology, and the only information he left was that he went to a place more than 10,000 light years away, a distant place. ”

"Southern Alpha System?"

The memory nodded, and said, "Although we have made the leap to become the overlord of the galaxy after the end of the First Age, it is for all of us scientists to find that person and figure out the origin of it all, and it is our goal. Of course, in the millennia of the Second Age, we have been exploring, and we have been working on all sorts of efforts. More importantly, our exploration and efforts are not meaningless. Before the catastrophe struck, we had a crucial issue figured out. It was this discovery that made us decide to travel to the Southern Alpha System in search of the final truth. ”

"What discovery?"

"The roots."

Yang Yi was very puzzled, and he didn't understand the meaning of the memory at all.

"To put it simply, the technology we have that allows us to make a leap forward, that is, the technology that uses primordial energy to distort space and create space colleagues, does not actually belong to us, nor does it belong to any civilization that was born in the known universe and developed through its own efforts." The Memory Man sighed with a wry smile. "The point is that we are beings in the known universe, or rather products of the known universe, so no matter how far we develop, our knowledge cannot go beyond the scope of the known universe. We all know that the known universe is a three-dimensional space, and it is extremely vast, and we have not seen the edge of the known universe so far, and perhaps it does not exist at all. The problem is that the space channel that we have opened with our original energy has gone beyond the three-dimensional space and belongs to the fragments of the four-dimensional universe. From this, we conclude that the known universe is only a projection, or part of a four-dimensional universe that has died. ”

"This ......"

"It's hard to understand, isn't it?" The memory smiled faintly and said, "Actually, when we made this judgment, we also felt very strange, and even couldn't believe it. However, later discoveries are enough to prove this judgment. The point is that no physical theory based on three-dimensional cosmic space can explain the existence of spatial peers and the resulting phenomena, such as the realization of speeds beyond the speed of light through space channels. ”

"And then?"

"After making this judgment, it immediately occurred to us that the discovery at the end of the First Age was most likely unrelated to that person, or that he was only the discoverer, not the inventor. In addition, the fact that he left us after that and embarked on a solo journey to the Southern Alpha System may also have something to do with it, i.e., he believed that the answer to the mystery could be found in the Southern Alpha System. ”

"Mystery?"

"If the three-dimensional cosmic space we are in is not a natural occurrence, but only a relic of some existence, then what is this existence?"

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, he really hadn't thought about such a problem.

"Think about it a little more, if the three-dimensional cosmic space we are in is the product of other beings, then what are we, the beings born in the three-dimensional cosmic space, or intelligent beings? In other words, if the three-dimensional space we are in is a building, such as a chicken coop, then who built the chicken coop and who raised chickens like us in it? ”

"Wait, you mean ......"

"If the three-dimensional space we live in was created, are we too?"

Yang Yi was silent, or he didn't keep up with the rhythm of his memory at all.

"If these speculations are true, then who created us, why did they create us, and why didn't they appear to us after they were created? Also, is that great discovery that we made at the end of the First Age related to the Creator, or was it left by the Creator specifically for us so that we can discover and use it after our technology has reached a certain level. If so, what do the creators want us to do, or what kind of value do they want us to achieve with the technologies they find? The memory let out a long sigh and added, "Of course, if these speculations are wrong, how can those contradictions be explained?" ”

"What does it matter?"

"Of course it is!" The memory gritted its teeth before saying, "In the Second Age, we were kind to other civilizations and helped them grow and thrive. To put it simply, if we were created, then so are other civilizations. If we can find the answer, then we need the help of other civilizations. Besides, maybe the creators just want us to find the answer together. ”

Yang Yi rolled his eyes, although he did not refute the view of the memory, but obviously felt that the memory was talking nonsense.

"Of course, it's not just civilizations in the galaxy that have been created. Quite simply, the spatial fluctuations we have detected from the North Alpha System are enough to prove that there are also civilizations that have been created, and that the treasure left by the creator has been found, and that the leap has been made. ”

When the memory body said this, Yang Yi was secretly surprised, because he thought of a person, a memory body to be precise. (To be continued.) )
