In fact, without the possibility of warp navigation (in the absence of exotic matter), there are not many options for the astronautics of the new human population.

It is nothing more than three types: baresail, non-working fluid, and swimmer.

For example, the new human in front of Mu Cang, the flying ship he piloted was still a sub-light speed spaceship of the Swimmer series.

But that's different.

After nearly two centuries of dozens of iterations of technology, today's Swimmer spacecraft is capable of propelling its hull to 99% of the speed of light in a vacuum.

Flying through the stars in a spaceship at this speed, from Earth all the way to Pluto, takes only a few hours.

Therefore, in the 88th century AD, the new human beings have set their feet on all the stars of the entire solar system.

In other words, the entire vast area of the starry sky, which starts from the Sun and ends in Pluto's orbit, has now become the 'territory' of the Earth-planetary civilization.

The remnants of the old humanity hiding on the edge of the Kuiper Belt had fled into the deeper depths of the Kuiper Belt like frightened birds in the depths of the Kuiper Belt long before the new humans expanded their sphere of influence.

However, the large army of these old humans will not last long.

Because, in the future that Mu Cang 'sees'.

In another half century at most, the new humans who have been concentrating on 'big things' will be free to enter the Kuiper Belt and wipe out all the remnants of the old humanity.

As for this so-called 'big deal'...... It's about wormholes.

To be precise, it is the unmanned exploration ship of the new humans, in the opposite direction of the Kuiper Belt area where the old humans are hiding...... A small wormhole has been discovered in an empty area deep in the Oort cloud, 9,580 billion kilometers away.

After the discovery of this wormhole, the Earth Star Civilization sent a large number of personnel to settle down and began various research work on it.

Due to the cosmic iron rule that 'effective information cannot travel faster than the speed of light', over the course of half a century, the new humans have built dozens of space bases around this wormhole with the function of synchronous backup of consciousness bodies.

At the same time, in the past half century, relying on a large amount of experimental data obtained from this wormhole, the scientific and technological development of new humans has also advanced by leaps and bounds, becoming more and more powerful.

In particular, the research on spatial structure and gravitation has entered a very deep level.

But for the greatest value of this wormhole - time travel.

In the past half century, the new humans have never succeeded in experimenting.

In other words, they didn't officially start the shuttle experiment at all.

Because the new humans have found that compared with this real wormhole, they have been making all kinds of assumptions about wormholes...... It's completely wrong.

For example, this wormhole in the depths of the Oort cloud has a physical nature at its entrance that is very similar to that of the legendary black hole.

It can even be said that the entrance to this wormhole is in the form of a black hole with a terrifying gravitational effect.

So much so that the space bases built around this wormhole can't be too close to it.

Otherwise, it will easily be torn apart by the powerful gravitational pull of this wormhole, and while releasing a large amount of high-energy radiation, it will turn into countless blazing high-temperature plasma, which will turn into a shiny 'accretion disk' around it.

What's even more dangerous is that this wormhole will also shoot out strong streams of high-energy photons into the outer void from time to time.

Under the impact of this terrifying flow of photons, all the materials that the new humans currently possess appear to be so fragile and completely vulnerable.

In addition to removing the photon stream, the wormhole occasionally ejects clumps of exotic material of considerable quality.

The danger of this kind of thing is even more exaggerated. (See Chapter 181 for details on Strange Matter settings.)

It can be said that even a small piece accidentally hit the surface of the planet, it will definitely bring the entire planet back to the Underworld period and turn into a blazing magma ball.

It may even make the entire earth star disappear directly and become history.

In the face of this too dangerous substance, the current new humans naturally do not have enough technical strength to fence it down, nor do they have the ability to properly preserve it.

Even so, it is precisely the exotic substance that is most needed for warp sailing technology.

In short, in the face of that 'irritable' wormhole, with the current technical strength of the new human beings, there is indeed nothing to be done.

However, in the course of long-term research and experimentation, new humans have also gained a deep understanding of the many properties of wormholes.

For example, after a lot of calculations, the new humans found that at the mathematical level, the overall energy of the wormhole is counted as zero.

Therefore, theoretically, even if a fly rubs its small paws, there is a certain possibility of rubbing a wormhole.

Of course, this possibility is very slim, so small that it is almost non-existent.

At the same time, the new humans also learned more about the reason why the energy of the wormhole is counted as zero.

However, it is only because of the strong negative energy in its internal channels and the physical manifestations of the 'black hole' at the entrances and exits at both ends.

And because wormholes tend to collapse on an overall level, rather than expanding.

Therefore, according to the complicated research data, the Earth Star Civilization boldly speculated.

After any macroscopic positive energy substance enters the wormhole, it is likely to cause the collapse of the overall space-time structure of the wormhole.

If you want to improve the stability of the space-time tunnel inside the wormhole, you may need a large amount of orderly negative energy as a 'support'.

However, this requirement far exceeds the technical ceiling of the new humans.

Therefore, after nearly half a century, the new human group decided to use the subatomic intelligent particles that currently represent the most cutting-edge technological level of the terrestrial civilization to penetrate into the space-time tunnel inside the wormhole to conduct more in-depth scientific research.

But this risky move triggered what can be described as the largest and most terrifying explosion in the billions of years since the birth of the solar system.

The whole process of this terrifying explosion was only observed by Mu Cang, who was present at the 'scene'.

As for the distant Earth-planetary civilization, it took a full year to receive the optical and electromagnetic signals of the suspected wormhole explosion through astronomical instruments.

It took them a whole year to reach the depths of the Oort Cloud and found out after they gathered people to organize an investigation and rescue team, and arrived at the target area...... It had become a vast expanse of empty space that did not even exist in interstellar dust.

And after a month-long meticulous survey, the rescue team estimated the specific diameter of this empty area suspected to be the "ruins" of the wormhole explosion.

Approximately ...... Seven hundred and thirty billion kilometers.

That's nearly ten times the distance from Pluto to the Sun.

In other words, with the volume of this bombed area, it is enough to hold thousands of solar systems.

In the face of such a terrible explosion.

Naturally, the dozens of space bases, tens of millions of new human scientific research experts and personnel from all walks of life in this area, as well as the crucial wormhole, have now all been turned into boundless heat, meaninglessly radiating to the vast starry sky, and can no longer be found.

Since then, the plan to use wormholes to travel faster than light time and space has been completely abandoned by the Earth-Star civilization.

And Mu Cang, who 'watched' all of this throughout the whole process, knew more about this than the Earth Star Civilization.

He knew that the chord group was different from the main plane.

In this three-dimensional universe that belongs to the Absolute Soul Cluster, the wormhole simply does not allow any macroscopic matter larger than elementary particles to enter it, let alone use it for time travel.

This is true not only of this wormhole, but of all wormholes.

As soon as anything larger than the elementary particle level enters it, it will inevitably cause greater or lesser disturbances to the wormhole.

And even the smallest disturbance will cause a large amount of negative energy, strange quark flows, strong photon beams, and more dangerous substances that are difficult to understand and recognize in the space-time tunnel inside the wormhole, which will then lead to the destruction of the macroscopic things that enter it, and the collapse of the entire space-time structure of the wormhole.

Eventually, everything will come to naught in the grand bang.

There is no other reason for all this, but because the physical laws of time and space are like this.

This universe does not allow any macroscopic things to travel through time and space through wormholes.

Therefore, there is no effective solution to this problem.

In short, there is no help.

Affected by this, in the years that followed, the new humans who had given up the wormhole could only pick up the warp engine plan again in order to break through the shackles of the speed of light.

This time, they whimsically wanted to develop a ...... This is a warp speed navigation technology that can travel through time and space without the involvement of strange matter.

In this regard, it can only be said that courage is commendable.

In the Adm form of general relativity, space-time can be compared to a leaf-like structure composed of hypersurfaces.

The only constant coordinate is time.

The benefit of warp sailing is that it can exceed the speed of light without destroying the general theory of relativity.

Because it can compress the three-dimensional space to achieve the effect of local low speed and overall high speed.

And the voyager that exists in the warp bubble is not affected by the so-called acceleration in any way.

It's interesting to say.

So far, Mu Cang has found that at least in this cosmic space-time of the Peerless Soul Cluster, the general theory of relativity is not too wrong.

In fact, this space-time is more consistent with the general theory of relativity than the main space-time of the string cluster.

However, this also means that it will be more difficult to break through the shackles of the speed of light in this universe than the string cluster.

After deliberately speeding up the passage of time in the entire universe, Mu Cang saw it 'very quickly'.

In just five centuries, those new human beings in such a harsh cosmic environment have overcome many scientific research difficulties and successfully developed the so-called "zero negative energy warp navigation technology".

As the name suggests, this technique is able to generate a stable loop of Lorentz manifold warp without the involvement of exotic matter at all.

However, in order to generate a large enough warp ring for use, even if it is only a ring with a diameter of 10 kilometers, the overall size and mass of the warp engine need to be stacked to extremely exaggerated values.

According to the calculations and derivations of experts from the R&D department of the new human sciences, this value ...... That's 180 million trillion tons.

In other words, if the Earthstar civilization wanted to make a warp engine that was sufficient, it would need to disassemble a full three hundred Earthstars to be sufficient.

In the face of this result, the new humans on the earth and planet were not frightened, but were stimulated with an almost battle-like enthusiasm for fighting.

It took them all five centuries to tear Jupiter into countless 'pieces'.

Then it took half a century to smelt the 'fragments' of Jupiter like a starry sky into countless billions of large or small parts, components, and structural components, and then it took half a century to assemble a super-giant celestial-level warp engine that fully met the experimental standards.

Thus, in the ninety-ninth century AD, the Earth-Star civilization began its first formal warp navigation experiment.

The experimental site was set in the orbital region of the original Jupiter, because it was empty enough.

This time for the faster-than-light experiment, Mu Cang watched the whole process again.

As for the results of the experiment, it can only be said that ...... It's tragic.

The word 'miserable' is used here because all the engine parameters and simulation data are perfect.

But when the warp engine was officially started, it was inexplicable...... turned into a 'bomb'.

A power ...... A 'bomb' that is even more terrifying than the 'crazy' wormhole more than a thousand years ago.

Yes, the warp ring went out of control, and the warp engine went out of control with it.

Eventually, in a grand bang, the entire solar system was devastated.

After the explosion, the Sun turned into a dim and ugly mutilated black dwarf.

Venus, Mercury, Mars, Earth...... and other major planets, as well as planetary moons, were all blown up into interstellar dust and plasma.

The New Humans, on the other hand, lost 99.9 percent of their members in the Big Bang.

Only about seven million new human consciousnesses remain.

It was also this terrible explosion, as well as the large amount of data fed back from the warp engine before it exploded out of control, that made the remaining new humans realize a cosmic truth.

Or rather, the iron rule of the universe.

This iron rule is the [Timing Protection Rule].

To put it simply, this rule is the speed at which the law of cause and effect is transmitted in this cosmic space-time...... It's the speed of light.

Therefore, in order to 'maintain' the normal existence and operation of the law of cause and effect, the universe will 'forbid' all macroscopic things and all possible possible transmission and movement of all valid information beyond the speed of light.

So, if you want to go beyond the speed of light in a vacuum, you have to ...... Beyond the law of cause and effect.
