After realizing that if you want to truly exceed the speed of light, you must transcend the law of cause and effect, which is an incomparably cruel cosmic iron rule.

For a time, all the new humans who survived the Big Bang in the solar system...... All were silent.

Because, they are the product of the law of cause and effect...... How can we go beyond the law of cause and effect?

This......

It's just an impossible task.

The so-called cone of light is fate.

Even after these new humans have undergone superhuman upheaval, they have become far more powerful on an intelligent level than the old humans.

But in the end, they are still just small creatures living under the shadow of fate.

Do you have the ability to challenge the boundless sea that gave birth to itself and gave birth to itself?

This is obviously impossible.

The new human beings, naturally, cannot transcend the law of cause and effect.

They can't even imagine the means to transcend the law of cause and effect.

Subsequently, the remnants of the new humans were collectively depressed for a while.

But they are still driven by the spirit of curiosity, and through the overall review of this solar system explosion, they have reversed the "means" to "stop" the occurrence of faster-than-light events in their own universe.

In summary, the manifestation of this 'means of stopping' in the universe is likely to be the physical destruction of all the [causes] that produce the [result] of faster-than-light events, such as the warp engines made by the Earth-star civilization.

This method of destruction may be based on autologous disorders at the quantum level, or it may be a random large-scale cosmic catastrophe, or it may be a massive black hole that emerges out of thin air for no reason to swallow everything.

In short, no matter what, the vast universe will never 'allow' anything to exceed the speed of light.

And the countless intelligent civilizations that live in this cosmic space-time can only be trapped in that narrow cage called the light cone for eternity until the end of time.

"So next...... What are you going to do? ”

Mu Cang, who was sitting in the depths of the Oort Cloud, was constantly observing countless multi-dimensional dimensions while exploring the boundless thoughts beyond this time and space, while accelerating the passage of time in the entire universe and leisurely observing the development of the new human race.

"I'm curious......"

He sat in the boundless void, quietly looking at these new humans who had been exhausted by the rules of the universe, and whispered, "Now that you are in a desperate situation, can you find a new way?" ”

While Mu Cang was whispering, this vast universe that had been deliberately 'accelerated' by him passed away in a hurry.

Mu Cang saw that in the first half of this century, seven million new human consciousnesses conceived and discussed various future development strategies.

Some of these strategies tend to be conservative, while others tend to be aggressive.

The conservative group wants to leave the solar system in a swimmer spaceship, spread the entire race into many star systems with a larger starry range, and then establish a relatively loose interstellar civilization, or a large alliance of superintelligent entities.

The radical group wants to become the so-called interstellar people, embark on an endless journey to the universe, like a thorn bird that never lands, flying and eating wherever it goes.

Among them, those who are willing to become the former account for more than half of the total number of new humans.

Those who are willing to become the latter are only about 14% of the new humans, only about one million.

The idea of the conservative new humanity is to submit to the rules of the universe and, within the rules, develop a good race and a good civilization.

The most important thing is to live your life safely.

The idea of the radical New Humanity is...... Since Heaven has left 'me' without a way, then 'I' will go against the sky.

They want to challenge the rules, challenge fate, and turn this universe upside down.

And the means by which this million radical individuals become the 'thorn birds', or the assumptions, transform themselves into ......

Nanoscale von Neumann self-replicating automata.

Or it can be called, the nanoscale von Neumann star probe.

As for the so-called von Neumann probe, it is a starry sky exploration machine with three characteristics: thinking on its own, copying it on its own, and repairing it on its own.

According to the radicals, this wonderful ultra-micromachine should contain five basic components:

1. Precision detection system for exploration and navigation.

2. Self-maintenance system for self-repair and modification.

3. Micro-factory facilities for collecting, storing and using various material resources.

4. A central repository for collecting, storing, and operating software programs and digital information.

5. The power engine is an energy collection, storage and supply device.

With the combination of these five components, this machine will be able to seize and use all the resources in the surrounding environment to create and generate its own components, so as to continuously replicate itself and continuously iterate and upgrade.

Its self-replication will multiply in the form of one to two, two to four, four to eight, and eight to sixteen, indefinitely expanding the size of the population like a virus proliferating.

According to the simulation data of the radical new humans, theoretically, a sufficiently small von Neumann probe with self-maintenance and self-replication functions may only need 1,000 joules or even hundreds of joules of energy to accelerate itself to 50% or more of the speed of light in a vacuum.

Therefore, in just a few million years or less, a single probe could fill the entire vast galaxy in a print-like self-replicating 'multiplication'.

And this level of occupancy will reach a level of almost 'ubiquitous as far as the eye can see'.

At that time, the new humans who have been transformed into von Neumann probes wandering the vast interstellar space can complete their perfect evolution by absorbing and 'harvesting' the science and technology and life forms of all alien civilizations.

"Oh~ very interesting idea."

Mu Cangpan sat in a slightly humble space venue, watching the fierce quarrel between the two factions of new human beings, while chuckling lightly, "By transforming yourself into a starry sky mechanical 'bacteria' that can reproduce infinitely, the purpose of conquering the entire universe can be achieved in the form of quantitative change to qualitative change, tsk, interesting." ”

Generally speaking, the essence of an argument is the catharsis of emotions and the desire to overlay one's thoughts over others.

Therefore, all quarrels often fail to bring unity of opinion in the end.

At most, it can only be relatively unified.

Thus, in the half-century that followed, a pact was made between the conservative and the radical new humanity.

The content of this agreement is that the conservative new humanity promises that it will not start a war to interfere with the self-transformation of the radicals.

Radicals, on the other hand, must 'weld' the source code deep within their self-consciousness to the civilization that originated from the Earth...... That is, the goodwill of the conservative new humanity.

The radicals, who agreed to this request.

Subsequently, under the strict supervision of the conservatives, they put a 'mental steel seal' on the source code of their consciousness to the effect of "never attack the conservative new humanity".

The conservatives reciprocated by giving most of their valuable equipment and instruments to the radicals.

After that, the two new human groups completely parted ways.

Conservatives, heading towards the cluster of Alpha Centauri four light-years away from our solar system.

The radicals, on the other hand, remain in the solar system, intending to use the remaining resources here to reinvent themselves.

Although because of that big bang, the solar system is now almost 'dead'.

But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the resources that exist within its territory are still innumerable to the radical new humans.

So, there is no need for the radicals to leave here at the moment.

In the time that followed, they collected billions of interstellar dust from the inner solar system, as well as nearly half of the Kuiper Belt of various shattered stars and cold dead stars, and smelted them into countless trillions of tiny and delicate mechanical components.

Eventually, as half a century passed.

All of the millions of radical new humans, after consuming countless solar system resources, have transformed themselves into von Neumann self-replicating machines.

No, it's out of place to call them new humans.

They should be called...... Starry Sky Wanderer.

Because every radical super-intelligent consciousness has now become a hazy sea of fog composed of hundreds of trillions of von Neumann probes the size of human cells.

Theoretically speaking, this million clusters travel at 99% of the speed of vacuum light in the vast void of the solar system, and basically each mass can easily tear apart and penetrate the Earth Star, and in a short period of time, it can be 'devoured' and transformed into its own 'limbs'.

It is quite strange that after all the radical new humans have been transformed into von Neumann machines, all of them have inexplicably developed an awareness.

This realization is ......

It seems that they were born to create the von Neumann machine, activate it, and let it fly into the vast universe.

This...... It seems to be the meaning of human existence.

In short, after all the people were mechanized by von Neumann, this group of radicals occupied an unknown number of billions of kilometers in the dark and void...... No, it was the Starry Sky Wanderer, who left the broken solar system in the dim starlight and flew into the infinite void in the opposite direction of the conservatives.

As a result, at the advent of 10,000 A.D., the intelligent race called the Earth Star Human Race ended the long history of civilization of its own race with its own hands, and rushed to the vast universe with a new and terrifying appearance.

At this point, the conservatives and the radicals, the two so-called 'human races', who have long since completely abandoned their fragile biological bodies, have entered their own new era.

At the same time, Mu Cang, who has been watching all this, thinks that today's Starry Sky Wanderer still has great shortcomings.

Because according to Mu Cang's understanding, the so-called von Neumann probe is not just a space exploration machine, it is more like a way to explore and study the mysteries of the universe.

Because of this kind of machinery, almost all the resources in the universe can be used to reproduce itself in an infinite way, so as to achieve infinite exploration in the de facto sense.

Once they reach any star system, they can disassemble the objects there and turn them into material resources for printed replication, thus creating a large number of new von Neumann probes.

Or build a large number of giant construction machines, and then use these giant machines to build larger energy supply facilities, computing centers, interstellar detection devices, and various types of bases, large and small.

At the same time, if the probe discovers primitive life or low-tech intelligent civilization, it can also conduct a long period of silent observation, or try to contact it, or even interfere with its normal development in some way, so as to obtain valuable data and evolve itself.

Of course, the concept of the von Neumann probe's so-called 'evolution itself' would be more appropriate to use the term 'self-changing original design'.

According to Mu Cang's understanding, qualified Feng probes should and must be able to design and manufacture a new generation of Feng probes to adapt to different tasks and environments.

As a result, each generation of Feng probes will be slightly different from the previous generation, and there will be some slight differences between them.

It is this process of continuous iteration that allows the Feng probe to have the wonderful properties of continuous evolution like a creature.

And so on and so forth.

"Huh?!"

At this moment, Mu Cang's expression suddenly froze.

Immediately, he turned his mind and looked at the countless trillions of trillions of time and space.

There, there is a diameter numerical ...... It completely surpasses the super-giant five-dimensional non-static cosmic space-time of G360 light years.

"This cluster, does it really exist in the [Ancient Universe]?"

Mu Cang's eyes shone brightly, "Hehehe, such a superior 'resource' should be devoured by me!" ”

For a long time, the concept of [Ancient Universe] exists in many singularity clusters.

The content of this concept is very simple, it refers to a multi-dimensional non-static supersuper-super, which has never been discovered by the immortals, and has never been affected by the war of the immortals, so that it has been able to safely and quietly skyrocket, and has been skyrocketing for more than a few years of Ge Liheng...... Super Ancient Universe.

Theoretically, such a universe would necessarily exist in clusters that are old enough.

It's just that the number of universes of any type or year in any cluster is bound to be endless.

Therefore, if you want to meet or find this kind of ancient universe, it is completely an ultimate small probability event.

Many immortals may be difficult to meet in their lifetimes, but there may also be an immortal who meets them every day.

In fact, for almost all immortals, the biggest role of this kind of ancient universe is actually only to serve as a large enough residence, and it will not have any other special meaning.

But for Mu Cang, this kind of ultra-ancient universe, especially those ultra-ancient universes that completely surpassed him in scale.

But it's completely equivalent to a ...... Blockbuster package.

As long as he devoured one casually, Mu Cang would be able to immediately possess the magnitude of this super ancient universe.

The reason why he has such an ability is precisely because Mu Cang is ...... Yuzun.

As long as it is any finite space-time, no matter how large it is, as long as it is not truly infinite.

Then for Yuzun, it can be regarded as a small part of Him. (See Chapter 530 for details of Yuzun's ability setting)

As long as all the finite universes within the range of Uzun's perception are all Him.

As long as all the finite universes within the scope of Uzun's interference, they are all Him.

Therefore, even if there is a multi-dimensional non-static universe with a scale of G, for Mu Cang, it is equivalent to a delicious cake.

As long as you swallow it in one bite, you can upgrade in place.
