Chapter 6: The Eye of the Deep Sky
The Sea of Stars, the highest institution for astronomical research, the research organization codenamed "Eye of Deep Sky", and one of the highest academic organizations of the Sea of Stars Alliance, has fallen into a state of near-madness at the moment.
"There it is, it appears again!"
"Quick, hurry up and inform all the sages of the Eye of the Depths of Space!"
"The fifty-first Great Void space-time collapse phenomenon has been observed!"
"Blu-ray, it's Blu-ray!"
"The tide of time and space is here again!"
What makes this public welfare Sea of Stars supreme academic organization so crazy is because of a phenomenon that borders on the paradox of the universe.
In the past, all observations have shown that the Sea of Stars, including all known observable universes, is constantly expanding.
This is in line with the principle of the universe observed by scholars and apostles under the sea of stars, that the universe is a space-time unity that constantly produces heat death.
The closer you get to the edge of the observable range, the clearer this heat death becomes.
It also foreshadows the end of the universe.
According to the known laws of thermodynamics, as an "isolated" system, the entropy of the universe increases with the flow of time, from ordered to disordered.
When the entropy of the universe reaches its maximum, all other effective energy in the universe has been converted into heat energy, and the temperature of all matter reaches thermal equilibrium, this state is called heat death.
In such a universe, there is no longer any energy that can sustain movement or life.
The temperature and luminosity of the star gradually decrease until the nuclear fuel is completely depleted and the star dies. When all the stars in the universe are extinguished, everything falls silent.
Scholars have been arguing about this for tens of thousands of years, but they have not been able to come up with a correct answer.
Until a certain accidental observation, the "Eye of Deep Space", which was only a small cutting-edge research unit at that time, discovered the phenomenon of "space-time tides" from the impassable great void.
Moreover, some incredible fragments of images were captured from the Great Void by some means of observation, and finally an unbelievable conclusion was reached.
As the universe grows, it shrinks intermittently.
Although small collapses are only found in the tidal phenomena of space-time in the Great Void, and the diffusion constant of the universe will also become a little smaller.
It was as if a small hole had been made in a huge balloon that was constantly expanding, and some gas was slightly released into the balloon in the infinite heat death.
The observable size of the universe, and therefore shrinks a bit.
Although this reduced value is insignificant on an astronomical scale, it is enough to make people ecstatic compared to the endless meaningless heat death.
This means that there are formulas in the universe that cannot be understood by scholars of the Sea of Stars.
In other words, in the seemingly insurmountable void, there are secrets that the apostles of the Sea of Stars cannot decipher.
"Speed, speed, unfold all the observable eyes of deep space at full power!"
"We want to get the most up-to-date first-hand information, at all costs!"
"Funding, what kind of funding to talk about at this time!"
"The tide phenomenon of time and space is random, and if you miss this time, you don't know when the next one will be!"
"Which Eye of Deep Sky is the closest observation point this time?"
"The newly built observatory in Stardust Academy, good!"
A group of white-haired scholars gazed at the boundless void from different planets and different deep space eye observatories with pious eyes.
The Eye of the Deep Sky they use is a huge mirror, and not only does it cost an astronomical amount, but so do the resource crystals that are burned when they make full power observations.
It can be said that each eye of deep space is a wonder burned by the sea of stars, and it is the crystallization of the highest wisdom of science and mystical power.
Between these deep space eyes, the apostles themselves are connected by the star network, which can allow the entire academic research institutions in the sea of stars to get the news as soon as possible.
At this moment, a seemingly faint blue light was emerging on the edges of the eyes of deep space.
When this blue light first appeared, it was too short for a short time, so that the original prototype Deep Sky Eye thought that the observation data was wrong.
And this time, when the first blue light lit up, half of the observatory where the Sea of Stars was equipped with the Eye of the Deep Sky was boiling.
When the second blue light appeared, all of the astronomical observing institutions aimed their eyes in the direction of Stardust Academy.
Some of these deep space eyes are built in the vast desert, and the surrounding area is deserted for dozens of kilometers, and countless radars are arranged around them like an army being reviewed.
Some are built on the majestic mountains, isolated from the world, looking at the sky in the distance.
Some are completely suspended in the universe, surrounded by attack warships responsible for escorting, and are themselves strategic astronomical weapons.
These astronomical devices were set up for different purposes, with different functions, and in very different locations.
In the beginning, many observatories did not think of arranging any deep space eyes.
But at this moment, all the completed Eyes of Deep Space involuntarily aimed in the same direction.
All the eyes behind the camera were fixed on the blue light curve calculated by the observation of the Deep Sky Eye.
This curve is like the electrocardiogram of a dead patient, which should be a straight line with no future in sight, but these highly respected scholars are like the most conscientious doctors, waiting for the heart-palpitating beat!
Reality did not disappoint them, and after a while, another blue light appeared.
"Appeared, appeared!"
"Quick, quick, quick, use the latest technology to restore the image of the collapse of time and space!"
All the scholars involved in the observation seemed to resonate with the curve, and they all held their breath before each fluctuation of the curve.
After the fluctuations appear, they will shout in surprise and then quickly subside, waiting for the next beating with expectant eyes.
The significance of this beating can only be described by miracles in cosmic observation and astronomy, and it is the forefront of the study of the nature of the universe.
Every beating is like the heartbeat of the universe.
After receiving the highest-level report from the Deep Space Eye Agency, the apostles of the Sea of Stars also set their sights on the Great Void that was still full of mysteries.
They know more secrets than pure scholars.
Even so, the phenomenon of "Tides of Time and Space", which had been continuously discovered in the Great Void since 20,000 years ago, was an unknown mystery to them.
They are the apostles who wield the power of the stars, but they cannot penetrate into the Great Void.
For them, who rely on the power of the stars, there is almost no material supply, let alone the stars, and the Great Void, where even observable objects are almost extinct, is a veritable forbidden area.
Not even God can overcome the great void of despair.
"Another Tide of Time and Space......"
"Recently, the number of times the tides of time and space have appeared a lot more than before."
"Observable data, too, is increasing."
"The kings of the seven seas, don't you have anything more to say?"
"Although they are visitors from foreign lands who have crossed the Great Void, they do not rely on their own strength."
"The Great Void is still the forbidden area of the uninhabited deep space, and they just used the power of that one to come to our sea of stars."
"Anyway, we'll see what happens."
The Star Apostles, who ruled the Sea of Stars, began to wait for the results.
With the help of an artificial astronomical wonder called the "Eye of the Deep Sky", you can observe the Great Void.
Wait, the unknown space-time collapse appears.
"Ready!"
"It's time to output images!"
"This time it's sharper than any time before!"
"I can finally get rid of the mosaic quality, and the budget is cost-effective!"
Even if every second of connecting all the Eyes of Deep Space to observe the Great Void was enough to burn a mountain of gold, it would be worth it for the scholars of the Sea of Stars who thirst for the truth of the universe.
Truth is priceless!
The eyes of the deep sky of the entire sea of stars are using the Stardust Academy Observatory, which is closest to the location of the collapse point of this Great Void space-time, as a hub to carry out the largest scale of the technique.
Science, the power of the miracles of the stars, is perfectly integrated into one at this moment.
One after another, the Apostles of the Stars also invested the greatest resources at their disposal to assist in this observation of the Eye of Deep Space.
The picture gradually became clearer.
It's like looking through a curtain of water to observe a glass sphere with an incomparably chaotic interior.
In the past, all the observations of the tides in time and space were to see the flowers in the fog and the moon in the water.
For this reason, the Deep Space Eye Agency has spent an astronomical amount of money, and finally completed the upgrade of observation methods not long ago, and can accurately observe the phenomena inside the tides of space-time.
In the dark black glass ball, blurred light jades gradually appeared, each light jade seemed to carry fragments of time and space, rising and falling in the tide of time and space.
"Sure enough, as has been inferred in the past, every space-time tide leads to the emergence of discontinuous space-time fragments."
"Isn't that the history of our sea of stars?"
"The Great Void is really fascinating, as if it has precipitated all the depths of the universe."
Thanks to the upgrade of observation methods, the Deep Sky Eye can now record the images inside these light jades.
However, most of them are things that have no reference value, like a damaged movie that has been accelerated many times, and the phenomenon of frame extraction and frame loss is particularly serious, and a large number of important factors are missing.
It can't be repaired because the image itself is badly damaged and distorted too much.
"Wait!"
"There, there!"
"That light jade is glowing!"
"Oh my God, is this the first complete light jade ever observed?"
"No, it should be that our observation methods have been upgraded, so we can see this light jade!"
"All the eyes of the deep sky are locked on this light jade!"
Under the fanatical gaze of the astronomers, all the Eyes of the Deep Sky converged on the location of the jadeite, locking on to the complete jadeite that had ever been observed for the first time.
The picture quickly sinks, and dense swarms appear, which are innumerable enough to make people feel dense phobia.
Zerg!
One of the largest civilizations in the Sea of Stars.
The reaper, the terminator, and the natural enemy of humanity who have destroyed countless civilizations.
The monster named "Worm Queen" is one of the very few enemies that poses a mortal threat to the immortal apostles.
"Is it an unrecorded swarm, a fragment of space-time tens of thousands of years ago?"
"Quick, quick, this is the first time that the internal image of the light jade that has completely and clearly recorded the tides of time and space is about to be recorded in history!"
Temporal tides only occur in the Great Void.
The principle is unknown, the interval is unknown, and the only observation is that every time a tide occurs in space-time, the scale of the universe will change very little.
If you really want to know what happened, I'm afraid you have to go deep into the Great Void, but unfortunately this is absolutely impossible.
Even the power of the Apostles of the Sea of Stars Dominator could not do this.
At the same time, the Pure Land of Bliss.
Ximo's eyes sparkled.
Caught it!
The target, the insect queen "reverse scale".
Peculiarity, the offensive begins!
The difficulty is one hundred and fifty, it's a big guy!
