Just like the gravitational constant, the curvature constant, the speed of light C is also a constant. The many constants in the universe are like silk threads, which together weave into the great net of the universe. In this big net, every thread is crucial, just like a sweater, as long as you find a thread and keep pulling it, you can completely destroy the sweater.

There is also a mathematically logical relationship between constants and constants. Often, one constant can be inferred from another. Just like the gravitational constant, the speed of light can be estimated by the gravitational constant. Therefore, it is impossible for a single constant to change, and if one constant is changed, it will cause a chain reaction, causing all the remaining constants to be changed, and eventually leading to the destruction of the entire universe.

Or ultimately lead to the rebirth of the universe. One thing is for sure, if the constants were changed, then the universe would have evolved radically differently from what it is now, and all existing laws of physics would fail.

This question was quickly thought of by the scientists of the Shenzhou civilization, so another scientist asked, "Have the rest of the constants been changed?" ”

The scientist who came in to report replied, "No, the rest of the constants have not changed." Only the speed of light in a vacuum has been changed. Before I arrived, I had synthesized the rest of the trillions of data. ”

The scientist's answer caused another uproar. It's an incredible thing, it's as absurd as if you had two apples and someone gave you two apples, and you ended up only having three apples.

This can lead to mathematical inconsistencies. Mathematics, on the other hand, is the most rigorous natural science and does not allow for error.

Think about it, when the gravitational constant is determined, the speed of light calculated by the gravitational constant is not the same as the actual observation? What a ridiculous thing this is.

Seeing that all the scientists below were talking about it, there was chaos in the command hall. Ares frowned slightly. He is a politician, not a scientist. He didn't care about the scientific significance of changing the speed of light, he only cared about whether it would bring benefits or disadvantages to his civilization.

Ares looked at Ruto, the genius who had occupied the position of chief scientist of the Shenzhou civilization after Xu Junpo's death. "Ruto, what's going on?"

Ruto was looking down to think, and after hearing Ares's voice, Ruto shook his head a little confused: "I don't know. I never had that concept in my head. The speed of light is indeed different in different media, for example, the speed of light travels at a different rate in hydrogen than it travels in water. But the speed at which every light travels through every medium is constant, and the speed at which light travels in hydrogen is constant. The speed of propagation in a vacuum is also constant. Frankly, I don't know what's going on. ”

"Your speculation?" Ares asked again.

Ruto frowned again and said, "Constants are the basic building blocks of our universe, and every constant change will cause catastrophic consequences. But now it seems that the change in the speed of light has no effect on us. Then it can be speculated from this. There is a great being who changes the speed of light, and at the same time that the speed of light is changed. He used his own strength to keep the rest of the constants unchanged. This is the power that involves the most primordial mysteries of the universe. This is a power that we do not have access to at the moment. ”

"And ......," Ruto thought about and continued, "the speed of light has only been changed for a moment before it returns to normal, and our universe has not collapsed, which may have something to do with it." After all, it is only a few hundred thousandths of a second, which is too short. ”

That is, the impact is unknown, and how the incident occurred is unknown. It's also unknown what the hell is going on, we don't know anything, right? Ares asked.

"Frankly, that's right." Ruto replied. "After all, we are only a sixth-level civilization, and there are too many unknowns in the universe. Maybe some super civilization did something like this out of boredom - who knows? ”

"Very well, then stop talking about this issue at the scientific level. If the Central Academy of Sciences is interested, you can apply for a project after the war is over, and the Social Committee will allocate resources for your research. Ares said lightly: "I need to know why the Neutron Battlestar changed in volume at that moment just now, and what extent of damage this volume change will cause to the Neutron Battlestar, and whether it will have an impact on our battle situation." ”

Ruto replied, "The speed of light is the upper limit of speed, and no other conventional movement can be faster than the speed of light, except for the near-cheating of curvature navigation." Electromagnetic waves, gravitational fields, and so on, all like that. I speculate that the moment the speed of light is reduced, the speed of gravity propagation is also reduced. Neutron warstars are mainly governed by gravity to maintain such a form of existence, and it is precisely because of the change in the propagation speed of gravity that it changes in volume. As for the impact......"

Ruto pondered for a moment and continued: "According to the neutron star model, this level of change has little effect on neutron stars. It's like when we stand on a planet and experience a seismic quake, with no impact other than psychological fear. Of course, we may be able to use this influence to achieve some strategic goals, and this is something you need to plan. ”

"I see." Ares nodded, his gaze on the display screen once more.

Time is slipping away, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed. During this time, the scope of the warp space has been shrinking. The fact that the speed of light was changed was like a small episode, and it didn't have much impact on the war between the two civilizations. After leaving the warped space, the Neutron Warstar also seemed to sense that the change in the speed of light was just an accident, so after a slight adjustment, it continued to attack the warped space.

The situation of the Shenzhou civilization is not very good. In fact, the ability to survive until now has been due to Ares' outstanding command ability. If there were the same resources, when Xiao Yu was in command of the battle against the Sweeper civilization, Xiao Yu might not be able to do as well as Ares.

The Neutron Battle Star once again violently rushed into the distorted space, a year, two years, a full hundred years have passed, and the Neutron Battle Star has not been teleported out by the Shenzhou civilization again. The transformation of the distorted space has been dizzying, and all kinds of light and shadow are changing very quickly, but it has never been able to have a too obvious impact on the neutron battle star.

The Neutron Warstar has been moving slowly, and with each advance it will shatter pieces of space like glass, and then be swept away by the violent spatial turbulence and disappear. At this time, there are no conventional warships that can get close to the Neutron Battlestar, and any conventional warship that tries to get close to here will be torn apart by the furious space, even a stellar-class battleship can't resist the berserk energy here.

Even the Neutron Battlestar is constantly taking damage. A large amount of debris was stripped from the neutron warstar, and the amount of gas that was turned into these stripped debris was so large that even the furious space energy could not disperse it in a short period of time. The radiation of the Neutron Battlestar has become more and more intense, and it has even begun to rotate slowly and is constantly accelerating.

It moved forward a little bit again. At this point, distance has already caused a sea change. It's like the curtain of the stage is suddenly closed, and all the scenes behind the curtain appear in front of it at a glance.

The fragmented space, the constantly changing broken light and shadow suddenly disappeared at this moment, and the universe became clear again. Ahead, a towing spaceship is suspended in the void, thousands of huge space gates are hanging in the void, and a large number of spaceships are constantly entering and exiting these space gates.

The distorted space has been completely broken by the Neutron Battlestar, and from this moment on, the Shenzhou civilization, as well as the remains of the seventh-level civilization in this travel direction, have been exposed to the Neutron Battlestar and the Cleaner civilization without protection.

In the command room, Ares' face turned pale. He knew that even if he had fought hard for so long, he would eventually fail. Being able to hold on to the attack of the Neutron Battlestar for so long, even with the help of the distorted space of the seventh-level civilization, is something to be proud of, but this is an era of heroes judged by success or failure, no matter how outstanding Ares is and how much effort he puts in, his final result is failure, and this alone is enough to erase his merits.

"Do you want me to see the fifth-level civilization alliance collapse again under the attack of the Shenzhou civilization? Could it be that the Shenzhou civilization is like a fifth-level civilization alliance, and it will eventually be destroyed in my hands? ”

"Xiao Yu, I'm sorry, you handed over the Shenzhou civilization to me, but I failed to let the Shenzhou civilization flourish." Ares muttered.

At this moment, in the distance of this space, a strange flash suddenly appeared, and this flash was like a flame of hope, which was rapidly expanding from the moment it appeared. At this time, the Neutron Battlestar also stopped moving. Ares sensed a bit of solemnity in the actions of the Neutron Warstar.

Time goes back more than 600 years to the Magellanic Galaxy.

"Finally arrived at the McEllanic Galaxy, we can start relevant experiments and impact the seventh-level civilization......," Xiao Yu sighed. (To be continued......)
