Chapter 902: Self-deception
"It was once said that the greatest strength of humanity is the ability to see hope in times of despair. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Who said that?"
"You."
Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and did not react for a moment.
"Do you think there's hope?" The man smiled faintly and said, "You know, there is no transstellar system astronautics technology at all, and not only no, but even the basic conditions required for transstellar system astronautics are not available. The universe was limited when it was created, and not only us, but all intelligent life in this universe, could not travel to other star systems without damage. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Although it is possible to reach neighboring or even any star system by traveling at the speed of light with current technology, the cost is too great."
"If you have no choice......"
"It's not just time, it's not just luck. There is no doubt that the civilization of the Milky Way, including humans, is very lucky to be able to come to the Southern Alpha Galaxy, and it cannot be replicated. What's more, something like that, or such good fortune, is gone. ”
Yang Yi frowned and looked at each other incomprehensibly.
"Quite simply, the galaxy has been destroyed."
"It's because of the imminent destruction of the galaxy that we escaped, what does that have to do with luck?"
The man shook his head with a smile and said, "You mean, if the galaxy hadn't been destroyed, the civilization of the galaxy wouldn't have ventured out of the galaxy?" In other words, if the Milky Way hadn't been destroyed, it would still have existed when you came to the Southern Alpha System in your spaceship? Obviously, you really don't understand anything, you don't understand the universe at all. To put it simply, before you come to the Southern Alpha system, with or without that catastrophe, the galaxy will be destroyed. In fact, even without that catastrophe, the consequences of your escape from the galaxy, or the catastrophe it caused, would have destroyed the galaxy. Obviously, there is no turning back. ”
"This ......"
"The key is the original energy."
"What do you mean?"
"You should know that the basis of all aerospace technology, including space jumps, is primal energy. We are able to rely on the Primordial Energy to obtain those unthinkable abilities only because the Primordial Energy is so widespread in the universe that it is inexhaustible, inexhaustible, and everywhere. It's just that the original energy is also the basis for the stable existence of this universe. To put it simply, the original energy is actually the foundation of space, which directly determines the scale and form of space. It is in this way that we are able to open spatial passages to distant destinations through primitive energy. In the same way, we were able to reach the speed of light by allowing the spaceship to reach the speed of light. So, have you ever thought about a question. Why is it space jumping technology that allows us to sail across star systems, not at the speed of light? Don't tell me it's to save time. ”
"Why is that?"
"Quite simply, the damage to space caused by space jumping technology is almost negligible, which is clearly not the case with light-speed flight technology."
"What's the difference?"
The man shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The space jump technology actually uses the fourth dimension, that is, the so-called space debris, to connect two points that are far apart in the three-dimensional universe, and shorten the distance between the two points, so as to achieve the purpose of reaching the destination quickly." Obviously, the space passage that makes the space jump is detached from the real universe, so the impact on the cosmic space is minimal. The technology of light speed flight is different, that is, it completely uses the original energy in the universe to forcibly increase the spacecraft to the speed of light, to be precise, it uses the original energy to change the internal structure of space, and through the natural expansion of space, the objects located at the compression point of space reach the speed of space expansion, that is, the speed of light. It is precisely because of this that the speed of light will inevitably have an impact on the structure of space, and the greater the mass of an object traveling at the speed of light, the greater the impact on the structure of space. Because photons have no mass, they have no effect on the structure of space. Obviously, a huge spaceship must have mass, and that is bound to have an impact. ”
"What impact?"
"Spatial Displacement."
Yang Yi was very puzzled, because he couldn't understand what the harm was at all.
"Don't forget, the universe is one. More importantly, all the matter that exists in this universe is necessarily related to space, or to be precise, a part of space. If space is displaced by external actions, even a small displacement, it can have a devastating effect on nearby matter. Of course, the range of this influence is determined by the magnitude of the displacement. If it's big enough, it can destroy a star system. ”
"What!?"
"Obviously, so many civilizations in the galaxy have escaped, and although less than one percent of them have finally reached the Southern Alpha system, the impact has not disappeared. Millions of civilizations fled at the same time, that's tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of ships. When these ships reach the speed of light, the resulting spatial displacement is terrifying. I haven't experienced it, but in my estimation, it has shifted the position of the center point of the Milky Way galaxy by at least a hundred light-years. Any idea what that means? The man sighed before he said, "This spatial displacement is enough to destroy the entire galaxy in the blink of an eye, to be precise, to be precise, to shatter all the matter in the galaxy into elementary particles." Obviously, even if the Milky Way is not destroyed by the explosion of the central black hole, it will be destroyed by spatial displacement. Of course, the Milky Way no longer exists, to be precise, it has become a super-black hole, and all matter is converted into energy, so the effects of space displacement are not apparent. However, this is enough to prove that transstar system astronautics cannot be carried out with light-speed flight technology. ”
"What if it's just a spaceship?"
"Do you think a spaceship makes sense?" The man looked at Yang Yi and shook his head, and said, "The key to transstellar system astronautics technology is not to let you fly to another star system, but to establish a stable two-way transportation system between two star systems that can be maintained at a lower cost. If it's just a spaceship, there's no point in going and going on a test voyage with no return. According to you, it's not a voyage at all, it's a flight. Not to mention that it is meaningless to humans, even to such a strange intelligent creature as the Dumen. You know, the essence of intelligent life is wisdom, not life. Even if you take the human gene pool and get to another star system and you can regenerate everyone, it's just life, not intelligence, and the people you know, the people you care about have perished, or are about to perish. What do you think is the point of such a voyage? ”
Yang Yi was silent, this was obviously a question he couldn't answer.
"Of course, when there is no other choice, this is the only way to protect yourself, but whether you succeed or not depends entirely on luck. It has to be said that the civilization of the galaxy is very lucky, because it is almost impossible in probability to let tens of thousands of survivors of civilization successfully reach a star system 10,000 light-years away and become the master of this star system. It also means that it will never be so lucky again. Yes, you can do the same, but I can assure you that what awaits you in the next star system will not be the uncivilized indigenous civilizations, but a civilization that is already very powerful, similar to the Silicon Alliance. ”
"That's why you left the solar system and all your loved ones behind?"
The man was slightly stunned and did not answer Yang Yi's question.
"Well, what I want to know is, why did you leave and why did you come to this faraway place when there was no hope?"
"As I said, I'm not the same as the others."
"So, there's hope?"
The man sighed before he said, "Although I am not human, half of my blood comes from humans, so I have inherited some of the advantages of humans. Of course, this is just my personal opinion, maybe it is self-deception, after all, despair will make us give up our efforts, only hope can make us persevere, even if persevering to the end of the result is no different from giving up immediately, we will use hope to deceive ourselves, so that we think that as long as we persevere, we can get a better, even satisfactory result. ”
"So, where is the hope?"
"As I said, it's just my personal opinion."
"Then tell me and let me know."
The man hesitated for a moment before he said, "As I said at the beginning, there are countless star systems in the universe, and the universe has existed for tens of billions of years, and maybe it will exist for tens of billions of years. If there is a legacy left by the creator in every star system, there is bound to be a result. Now the question is, the universe has been around for tens of billions of years, why are there so many star systems? ”
"What do you mean?"
"Obviously, humanity is not the first intelligent life to find the legacy of its creator, nor will it be the last. There must have been many intelligent civilizations that found the legacy of their creators before humans, and according to our previous analysis, these intelligent civilizations will inevitably make great strides in science and technology, reaching new heights in a very short period of time, thus consuming the resources of this star system at a very fast rate. Compared with the existence time of tens of billions of years in the universe, the time it takes for an intelligent civilization to consume the resources of the star system in which it is located is very short, whether it is thousands of years or tens of millions of years. Obviously, in the past 10 billion years, there must have been many star systems that have been destroyed due to the rapid development of intelligent civilizations, so there must be a lot of blank areas in the universe. However, the actual observation shows the opposite, the universe is very full, and there are almost no empty spaces. In addition, we have not found many signs of the destruction of star systems. ”
"This ......"
"This discovery made me realize that we are special, not only human, but also myself, and I believe that I am different from other results."
"So, you think you can solve all the mysteries if you can find other results?" (To be continued.) )
