Chapter 686: The Last Century

Peter tells Donner that the Jingwei has never crossed a wormhole, and that it was a strange electrical glitch that caused the ship's parts to fail and the hibernation chamber to die. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

According to Peter's recollections, Jingwei flew for a total of 162 years, traveling just over one-seventh of the speed of light, and its target was Vega in the constellation Lyra, just 25 light-years from Earth.

This was extremely shocking information for Donner, who always thought that he was in an unknown cosmic space, and he had no idea that the Earth was not far away—25 light years was insignificant compared to the nearest one of the seven iris stars, which was nearly 70,000 light years.

However, when he came to Blue Star, he immediately received a piece of news that made him feel a little sad.

The Femont Academy of Sciences has been exploring extraterrestrial intelligent life, and according to the data obtained from the electromagnetic signal radar set up in the space station, no planet in the vicinity has produced a meaningful electromagnetic leak in the past 100 light-years.

In other words, either Peter's memory is wrong, or more than 10,000 years later, there is no intelligent life on Earth.

Downer did not give up, and in the following ten years, the Republic of Rand launched more than 300 unmanned spacecraft.

In the year 834 of the new calendar, Donner finally saw the wreckage of civilization on Earth in the picture of an unmanned spacecraft returning to the Blue Star. The spacecraft's hyperspace probe also proves Donner's conjecture - the star field where the Earth is located, hyperspace has been abnormally distorted, and it seems that it has curled up to a microscopic state.

Donner wasn't too surprised to see the planet, which once gave birth to life and created a glorious history, turned into ruins, because the same thing is now happening on the planet Rand.

Because most of the forces of the Femon Empire's military headquarters have colonized Blue Star, and almost all of the Academy of Sciences have moved away, the gap in military strength between the countries of the Rand has been narrowed all of a sudden. The growing population of the various federations and the existence of anti-synthetic food laws have created a scarcity of land resources. War arose from this.

As a result, the two planets in the light star system are developing in completely different directions, like two carriages running in opposite directions.

In 874 AH, Blue Star opened a limited window of immigration to the Rand Star, but then a series of terrorist activities by new immigrants soon shut down the policy.

In 935 AH, the largest international war in history finally broke out in the Rand, and in almost a month, civilization went back by centuries.

At the same time, the Republic of Rand is already a super civilization with a population of 40 billion and a range of activities of nearly twenty light years.

At the end of the year 970, the Rand Academy of Sciences made significant achievements in the reverse engineering of the magic network, and a project called the wisdom network was filed.

This invention of imitating Shenhai, using high-dimensional proliferation of the brain, connecting human wisdom, and sharing an online knowledge base, has become the largest scientific innovation in the history of the Republic of Rand. The resulting explosive development of science and technology is unprecedented.

In the year 1021 of the new calendar, Downer left tens of thousands of descendants in Blue Star, took his three wives, and flew to Iris Alpha 63,800 light-years away in a near-light speed spaceship.

For the Republic, its founders began a journey of almost 70,000 years. But for Donner, Ricke, Lucia, and Una, it's just over sixty years.

If all goes well, they will live in isolation in a well-equipped spaceship for more than sixty years.

In the year 1119 of the new calendar, a spaceship of the Republic of Rand was destroyed by an unknown force after passing through the hyperspace curled up zone, and traces of intelligent life appeared in the image transmitted back to the blue star.

For more than 2,000 years, the Republic of Rand has been under the dual pressure of the invasion of demonic web creatures and the unknown civilization behind the hyperspace curling belt, but this pressure has been transformed into motivation.

In the 37th century of the new calendar, at the last moment in the face of the invasion of magic web creatures, Wesley opened a letter left by Donner more than 2,000 years ago, and according to the instructions on the letter, sent a threatening statement to the unknown civilization behind the hyperspace curling belt, threatening to disarm more than 6,000 hyperspace curling devices and asking for colonial permission.

After a desperate sixty years of waiting, the Republic of Rand was officially accepted into the Holy Third Federation, and tens of billions of people were able to emigrate to the interior of the galaxy under the protection of the starry locks, gaining access to the living areas of seventeen star systems.

At this time, Downer was in the inertial frame of a faster-than-light spaceship, and only three years had passed. He had nothing to do but pray secretly for the republic he had created, for his friends, and for the descendants of him and his three wives.

In fact, the journey to Iris Alpha is equally fraught with threats. Although it can sail into hyperspace in a vacuum densely populated by magic web creatures, the spacecraft does not carry enough energy to keep it hiding in hyperspace - it needs to consume energy to maintain a three-dimensional membrane.

As the journey progresses, the creatures of the magic web become more and more dense.

Downer felt the pressure all the time, and he was only one step away from solving the final mystery, but in the end, the pressure fell short. He has been hiding this sentiment for the sake of his three wives. For them, life is full enough, even if they die on the journey, they probably don't have any regrets.

One day, more than fifty years after the ship's inertial frame, it finally crashed into a magical creature.

Just before the ship was completely scrapped, Donner entered the reincarnation device, and with the help of Ricke, Lucia, and Una, concentrated all the remaining energy on the ship, and sent the reincarnation data in the direction of Iris Alpha.

In the end, Rickeau, Lucia, and Una held the dead body of Donner and walked towards the end of their lives in a brilliant light.

One day long later, a black hole that had existed near Iris Alpha for more than a million years suddenly absorbed a beam of foreign energy. As a result of the addition of this special energy, the black hole undergoes a slight anomaly, and a long-standing equilibrium is upset.

At the same time, the magic rings on the four planets of Iris Alpha suddenly peeled off, turned into a pure form of energy, and actively entered this black hole. A protracted battle has begun, with tens of millions, billions of nets coming here from every corner of the galaxy.

In less than 100,000 years, the magic web in the galaxy disappeared, and the magical creatures were on the verge of extinction soon after.

And the war inside the black hole is becoming more and more intense, flying from millions or tens of millions of light years away, the energy invested in this war can almost swallow the entire galaxy, but all disappear in this abyssal black hole.
