Chapter Forty-Eight: This Is the Universe!
Yao Yuan has been thinking about the issue of spatial transition for nearly half a year, and in fact, in the past few months, he has felt the spread of a certain atmosphere.
That's the spread of lazy thinking.
It's not that the people of the Hope have become lazy, in fact, in the past few years, everyone on the Hope has been in high spirits, working late every day, for several years in a row, basically no one is lazy and slippery, this is a feast for mankind!
The real idea of laziness comes from another area, and that is comfort...... Yes, the universe is so cruel, how many times has Hope been in danger since its departure from Earth? How many times have you survived? It is impossible for this situation not to make people feel afraid, in fact, even Yao Yuan himself is often afraid, every time he dreams of the previous scene in his dream, he is directly awakened from the dream, and then he can't sleep for a long time.
Even someone with restraint and tenacity like Yao Yuan is still like this, let alone most of the hundreds of thousands of civilians on the Hope? They are more afraid, I am afraid.
So, they are actually quite satisfied with the current situation, although there is no sunshine, no blue sky, no sea, only the cold and pitch-black universe and the equally cold but bright enough inner space of the Hope, but at least there are no danger zones everywhere in the universe, and there are no terrifying disasters of any kind.
Many people are even willing to stay here for the rest of their lives, of course, this is only a very small part of the population, I am afraid that the entire number of people on the Hope is only a few hundred, but many more people want to stay longer, they hope for the unlimited growth of technology, the middle and end of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and even the Fifth Industrial Revolution...... But is it possible?!
The lifespan of human beings is only between one hundred and fifty and two hundred years!
Most of the people of this generation are about thirty years old, and among them, great scientists like Allen and Silvey are sixty or seventy years old, they can still live for a hundred years, but can human science and technology reach the fifth industrial revolution in a hundred years?!
No way! If it weren't for the technology of the alien ruins, humanity would not have even reached the Fourth Industrial Revolution in 200 years!
According to the central computer of some warships in the alien ruins, this alien fleet, before they were completely destroyed, had been drifting in the universe for more than 1,700 years!
Halfway to meet a small alien spaceship with the end of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the beginning of the Fifth Industrial Revolution, according to the alien race, they are cosmic merchants, they can sell technology, and they can also buy various materials, and the information left in the exchange claims that this alien merchant race has been looking forward to the end of the Fourth Industrial Revolution for nearly 10,000 years, and there is no way to really cross into the Fifth Industrial Revolution so far, Even the curvature engines used in their ships were traded from other alien races at the beginning of the Fifth Industrial Revolution!
According to the speculation of this ruin alien race, since the beginning of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, every industrial revolution is almost a leapfrog revolution, and it is really difficult to ascend to the sky every time you ascend to a level, just like their civilization, since they left their home planet, it is the end of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, more than 1,700 years later, it is still the end of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, at most it is the side branch science and technology that has progressed!
Of course, if this is the case, I am afraid that it will not be able to make Yao Yuan make up his mind to jump immediately, what really makes Yao Yuan frightened is the appearance of another set of records.
In this set of data, the ruins of the alien civilization recorded in detail about the new humans (cosmic adaptors), according to its historical records, when this civilization left the home planet, there were fourteen new humans, three of whom had skills, namely the sensor, the prophet, and the soul network, and it was these three people who led them to overcome many difficulties in the early days, so that their civilization could sail in the universe for more than 1,700 years!
But then, as the new generation became more and more in the fleet, they had not seen the sea and green sky of the home planet (the planet was a pale green sky), and they had not personally felt the warmth and gentleness of the planet with an atmosphere, and gradually, new humans appeared less and less, especially since the death of the last new human with skills nine hundred years ago, a whisperer, when they met the cosmic merchant civilization three hundred years ago, there were only two new humans, new humans without skills...... But even so, the cosmic merchant civilization is still willing to exchange the two items of technology of the fifth industrial revolution for them, it is conceivable that the value of the new human beings in the cosmic civilization, maybe in the fifth, or sixth, or seventh industrial revolution civilizations, these new human beings have mysteries that the lower civilizations cannot imagine, but this is something that the ruined alien civilizations and the cosmic merchant civilizations cannot know.
Based on these information, Yao Yuan discussed with a large number of scientists and researchers, and the result was that once a civilization stepped out of the home planet where the civilization is located, the more low-level its technology is, and the more unsuitable it is to adapt to the cosmic environment, the greater the probability of generating new human beings.
And with its adaptation to the cosmic environment, or the longer it steps into the universe, the less likely it is to produce new human beings, and with the reduction of various resources after entering the universe, the long-term navigation in the universe does not change, and various factors will cause the civilization's science and technology to gradually stop, unless it is to produce new stimulus mechanisms, such as war and various social changes, it is possible to stimulate the recovery of science and technology, but such things are absolutely forbidden in the universe, unless it is a war with an external civilization, But once that happens, a civilization is basically bound to fall, so it has caused such a result.
Because of this, Yao Yuan decided to launch a space jump, not waiting for science and technology to reach the end of the fourth industrial revolution, because they can't afford to wait, the current hope can be said to be the best golden development period, with humans from the earth as the main body, the new generation in its education, and a large number of documentary films, will inevitably have a strong longing for the earth, but two generations later? And even three or five generations later?
Could it be that human civilization will also be crushed at the end of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and then drift in the universe for thousands of years, and then be destroyed by stronger civilizations?
Yao Yuan will never allow such a thing to happen!
Since it is the golden period of development, let's take advantage of the aftermath to make more jumps and collections, and lay a solid foundation for entering the fifth industrial revolution in the future!
According to the information obtained from the ruined alien civilizations, the cosmic information they purchased from the cosmic merchants shows that the universe is currently divided into levels according to progression, and the third industrial revolution is just a first-level civilization, that is, it can go to the satellite stage, without satellites or terrestrial planetary colonies, it is basically impossible to carry out space navigation, which can be called the stage of primitive civilization.
The second-level civilization has found and controlled the genesis particles, has the technology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, can have colonies on moons and terrestrial planets, can slow the space, and because of the anti-long-range factor of the genesis particles, it has the capital to talk to the third- and fourth-level civilizations to a certain extent.
The third-level civilization has touched the door of the early stage of the Fifth Industrial Revolution, but has not completely entered the Fifth Industrial Revolution, and has the ability to travel faster than light, but cannot overcome the problem of rapid consumption of time, such as the cosmic civilization similar to the curvature navigation technology.
As for the fourth-level civilization, it is very rare, or there is, but it is not a ruined alien civilization, and the cosmic merchant class can have access, they have a complete fifth industrial revolution technology, a preliminary attempt at short-range wormhole technology, but it is not yet safe to use, and it is not possible to make interstellar gates at all, and a mature cosmic civilization with humanoid robot technology!
The fifth-level civilization above it is vague and basically undocumented.
But one of the records is that, in addition to the primitive civilization has no power, the higher civilization has absolute jurisdiction over the lower civilization, and one of them is that it can freely loot all new humans and no more than 50% of the total population of the lower civilization!
Rebels...... Destroy!
These materials are all top-secret information of the Hope, which is deeply buried in the Hope's central supermagnetic computer, and without Yao Yuan's permission, even ordinary scientists cannot easily see the classified information.
These materials also let Yao Yuan and other high-level people have a new understanding of the universe, it turns out that the universe is not lonely, the reason for loneliness is that human beings are too weak, and they actually ran out of the earth directly with primitive civilization before, this is really ignorant and fearless, if the previous human civilization encountered even a very low-level second-level cosmic civilization, the result of waiting for human beings is definitely better than death!
It is precisely because the more he knows, the more he is afraid, Yao Yuan's emotions are not fear, but a deep sense of responsibility, he has a burden on his shoulders for the future of the entire human civilization, and every decision he makes may make human civilization take off or fall, because of this, it is impossible for him to pursue comfort!
Just as Yao Yuan was discussing the preparations for the space jump with a large number of scientists, researchers, and the top management of the Hope, at this moment, a piece of news made him make up his mind to make the decision to jump immediately.
"Captain, we deciphered the piece of computer fragment in the center of the alien master ship, and we found a surveillance video from inside...... That's the whole process of the destruction of this fleet! ”
"It's just an alien spaceship, plus a humanoid robot that doesn't conform to the laws of space warfare at all, but the result is ......"
Immediately afterward, Yao Yuan saw a video that prompted him to make the leap decision, which truly showed the truth of this universe...... And it also tells the great horror that when a low-level civilization encounters a high-level civilization, it is impossible to even escape!
