When the memory body said these words, Yang Yi was silent. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Well, did you think of something?"

"Senior ......"

"Although I only thought of this issue after you mentioned the God Emperor of the Silicon Charm Alliance, there were already some of us who had made similar points before that. Quite simply, we couldn't tell for sure how long the powerful civilization in the North Alpha system had existed, so there were all kinds of speculations and inferences. Although only a handful of scientists believe that the civilization in the North Alpha system has been around for a long time, we cannot deny the possibility of such speculation. In other words, if this inference is correct, then none of our efforts are meaningless. The fact that a civilization that is comparable to ours and has existed for a long time has not flown out of the North Alpha system is enough to prove that the technology we have mastered is also unable to overcome the long distances between star systems. It's just that most scientists don't want to believe this speculation, or don't dare to accept such a reality."

Yang Yi smiled bitterly, this is indeed a reality that no one can accept.

It is precisely because of this that the speculations given by these scientists have been ignored and even excluded. Only, they didn't give up. In fact, in the Second Age, each of our scientists has a high degree of autonomy, and all scientific research projects have access to sufficient resources. In fact, most scientists devote their lives to research in a certain direction, and many devote their lives to it. ”

"You mean ......"

"These scientists have been concentrating on research in related fields and have published research results one after another. Although no one paid attention to their research, according to the rules of the time, their research results were all included in the scientific and technological archives and became part of the scientific and technological achievements of mankind. The memory let out a long sigh and added, "There's a paper that's almost entirely speculation, unconfirmed, and unverifiable. ”

Yang Yi frowned, waiting for the memory to continue.

"At the time, almost all the scientists who read the paper thought that the guy who wrote the paper was either crazy or idle. All in all, no one believes the thesis's point of view, they all think it is nonsense. It's just that the person who wrote this paper is indeed a scientist, or a registered scientist with an official status. Otherwise, the paper would not have been included in the Human Science Council's internal search directory. ”

"What kind of paper?"

"Because I think it's ridiculous, I didn't look at it carefully, and I don't know the specific content, which roughly means that all star systems are prisons, and star systems are cells in prisons, and we are prisoners in prisons. Although we had the key to open the cell door and were able to go to other cells, the guards who left the key did not leave the tools to open the prison door or climb over the prison walls. ”

"This ...... How is this possible!? ”

"Why, you think it's nonsense too?" The memory smiled faintly and said, "The paper also mentions that the creators made the various star systems into prisons, not to imprison us, but to protect us, to be precise, to prevent the prisoners in the prison from killing each other. ”

"This ......"

Of course, we also thought it was ridiculous. But now, don't you think that's really the case? The key is the time it takes to sail across a star system. The memory paused slightly, and then said, "In the universe, star systems are very far apart. Comparatively speaking, the Milky Way is relatively close to the Southern Alpha Galaxy, only 10,000 light-years, while most of the adjacent star systems are separated by more than 100,000 light-years. It's just that even 10,000 light years is far enough. Because there is no reliable space technology, even if you travel at the speed of light, it would take 10,000 years, or even longer, to reach a nearby star system. As I said at the beginning, any civilization that enters the age of technology will be able to thrive in a few hundred years, at most, a few thousand years, as long as it finds the legacy left by its creator. As a result, civilizations from other star systems are unlikely to defeat indigenous civilizations. In this way, all civilizations are confined to the star system in which they were born, and even if they are lucky enough to reach a neighboring star system, they cannot become the master of the place. In fact, some of our discoveries at the time have proved this theory in disguise. ”

"What discovery?"

"For thousands of years in the Second Age, we have been exploring and gathering information about other star systems, and we have never found any signs of transstar system navigation."

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and looked at the memory body very suspiciously.

"There are only two ways to sail across a stellar system. One is to use space peers, and the other is to fly at the speed of light. The former requires a lot of original energy, and it is necessary to grasp the spatial parameters between star systems, which is very difficult and difficult to break through, at least we have not achieved substantial results. The latter has relatively low technical requirements, and the key is the technology that uses the original energy, but the time required to sail is too long. However, in either case, there will be detectable signs when navigating across the star system. In the case of the former, the spatial fluctuations generated by simply opening and maintaining the space channel can be detected hundreds of thousands of light-years away. If the latter is the case, the disturbance of space caused by a large number of spacecraft traveling at the speed of light, as well as the large amount of origin energy dissipated, can also be detected. To put it simply, for civilizations that have mastered the origin and space technology, there is no secret to sailing across star systems. ”

Yang Yi nodded, indicating that he understood the meaning of the memory.

"For thousands of years in the Second Age, we have been monitoring the entire universe, transforming dozens of star systems, building stellar stars in these star systems, and detecting space fluctuation detection systems at a distance of more than 100 million light-years. Obviously, within this range, we will detect any transstellar system navigation. Unfortunately, we have not found any signs related to transstellar system navigation. ”

"And then?" Yang Yi talked to himself, feeling very speechless.

"Even so, we didn't give up and we didn't think there was anything wrong with that. Quite simply, a few thousand years is too short for a universe that has been around for tens of billions of years. In addition, we have not yet made a breakthrough, so it seems to us that even if there are civilizations similar to ours in other star systems, it is possible that they are working on related technologies, so it cannot be concluded that we cannot make a breakthrough. The memory paused slightly, then added, "Obviously, we were wrong, and we were wrong. If we had given that paper at the time, we wouldn't have gone in this wrong direction. However, we were also lucky because we made it to the Southern Alpha System, and there is no civilization comparable to ours here. Even though there is a formidable enemy in the Northern Alpha System, we have grown by the time the Silicon Alliance arrived. In any case, we have deep roots here. According to the paper, we have successfully escaped from prison. Perhaps, we are also the only civilization that has managed to escape from prison. ”

"From one prison to another."

"With the first, there will be a second. Besides, at least so far, we haven't found any other civilization that has completed a transstellar system voyage. ”

Yang Yi smiled reluctantly, knowing that the memory body was laughing at himself, so he didn't answer.

"More importantly, we have enough reason to believe that the Silicon Charm Alliance, or at least the God Emperor who created the Silicon Charm Alliance, has a great resemblance to the person we are seeking. Perhaps, this is why we came to the Southern Alpha System and grew here. ”

"You believe in fate?"

The memory smiled faintly and said, "It's not a question of believing it or not, but we can't deny the facts. ”

"What facts?"

"Do you think it was through persistence and luck that we got to the Southern Alpha System? Also, why do you think we chose the Southern Alpha System in the first place? ”

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and his brows immediately locked together.

"We already knew that that man had gone to the Southern Alpha system. However, this is not the main reason why we chose to come to the Southern Alpha System when we left the Milky Way, at least not the only reason. To put it bluntly, we were only thinking about how to survive, not whether we could thrive in other star systems. If you can't even survive, how can you talk about development and growth? In other words, when choosing an escape destination, we first consider feasibility, that is, whether we can reach the destination smoothly. As for whether the destination is suitable for us to live, it is actually a secondary question. To put it bluntly, there are enough star systems in any star system, and there must be planets suitable for us to live in. It is precisely for this reason that we must seek stability, that is, we must have the fundamental goal of reaching the destination. As for the rest, it is not in our consideration at all. So, why did we choose the Southern Alpha System in the first place? In fact, it is very simple, because before us, there were people who went to the South Alpha Galaxy, which proves that there is a line to the South Alpha System. Relatively speaking, the existence of routes to other star systems is unknown. ”

"That's the truth?"

"It's not just a fact, it's fate, the fate of us human beings. Believe it or not, the man who started it all may have seen this and knew that sooner or later we would have to leave the galaxy and seek a place to live in other star systems, so he set out one step ahead of the curve, showing us the way forward, opening a route to the Southern Alpha System, and letting us follow in his footsteps. ”

"This ......"

Of course, this can also be said to be our purpose, or our hope. In fact, what happened in the thousands of years since we arrived in the Southern Alpha system has proven this. Whether it is to defeat a strong external enemy or to quell an internal rebellion, hope lies in the forerunners. Only by finding him, figuring out what he found at that time, and finding out the root cause of all this, can we have a future at all. ”

Yang Yi was slightly stunned and looked towards the memory. (To be continued.) )
