Unless it reaches the god-level cosmic civilization, even the ninth-level cosmic civilization must be dependent on the universe to survive.

Don't think that advanced cosmic civilizations don't need to consume anything, the source of its energy is actually all from the universe itself, matter, energy, all need to interact with the outside world, whether it is from planets, stars, or other stars, or nebula matter, or the microscopic level of the material world, in short, civilization can't leave the universe, unless it's a self-created universe like a god-level cosmic civilization, but even if it's a self-created universe, it is estimated that something is needed as a material, right?

All in all, any known civilization, except for the gods and the current remnants of the gods, needs to live on the universe.

The investigation continues, but more and more bad news is being discovered.

The exact figure for the size of this cosmic dark hole is 220 million light-years away, and the human fleet is not in the center of this void, which is about 40 million light-years away.

Unfortunately, the location of the third coordinate point is at the very core of this void, which means that humans have to travel a distance of 40 million light years to reach the third coordinate point.

For a while, Lu Yuanming felt that the golden race had made a mistake? Sent him to the White Road?

Otherwise, why is there nothing here, there is nothing, and the distance to the coordinate point is a terrifying 40 million light years!?

What is this concept!?

The current curvature of human beings is about 9,600 times the speed of light, after all, the gravitational well built on the Blue Star is not a complete version of the gravitational well miracle building, and it is about 10,000 times the speed of light here.

At this distance, humans would have to use their maximum gravitational slingshot to accelerate at all times, and then spend 4,000 years to reach their destination.

This is not the most desperate, the most desperate thing is that the gravitational slingshot needs to consume an extremely huge amount of energy every time it is used!

This is a matter of course, the more advanced the technological creation, the more energy it consumes will be a large level higher than the previous level.

If the human beings of the Earth Era were allowed to obtain the current fourth-level space battleship, I am afraid that the energy of the whole earth would be added up to charge for a year, and these fourth-level space battleships could sail for a few minutes, maybe even tens of seconds.

The energy gap between them is too big and too big, and now human beings can just take out an antimatter reactor and provide the pleasure of "infinite" energy for human civilization in the 21st century, which is enough to make the human beings of that era like a miracle.

And to convert the situation here, 40 million light years, if you use gravitational well technology, that is, nearly 10,000 times the speed of light of gravity slingshot, to travel for 4,000 years, it will probably consume enough energy to extinguish at least hundreds of stars!

The reserves of the Blue Star are seriously insufficient!

Not to mention that it has been sailing for 4,000 years, I'm afraid that even the energy reserves for sailing for 1,000 years are insufficient!

The material reserves are barely enough, the Blue Star is huge enough, the internal circulation system is self-contained, there is no need to save, four thousand years of time can be spent in the Blue Star, but the energy is not, the antimatter reactor is not a void energy, but uses energy to obtain a greater power energy output, and its essence is still the upper system of atomic energy.

Unless...... Vacuum zero point can!

Human beings use the zero-point engine prototype to perfectly develop the vacuum zero-point energy, so that they can perfectly use matter to obtain energy, which is possible to bring the Blue Star to the coordinate point.

“…… So, is it really something that has to be used in this coordinate area? Lu Yuanming smiled bitterly.

Since the investigation of the surrounding star field, this information was immediately banned by Lu Yuanming's order, and it was never allowed to be transmitted to the middle and lower levels except for high-level personnel.

It's a national riot.

Although this order is somewhat contrary to Lu Yuanming and Tang Zhe'an's decision to return power to the people, the premise itself is that it can only be made in the era of peace and when human civilization has developed to a very high level, and now it is natural that Lu Yuanming must make a personal decision at this time.

In this conference room, the discussion has been going on for three days and three nights, but fortunately, now the physical fitness of human beings has been fine-tuned a lot, and there is a fourth-level cosmic civilization level of genetic lifeology, and the entire Blue Star is shrouded in the garden of life, so even ordinary people can stay up late for many days, and it will not hurt them mentally and physically.

High-level government officials, military personnel, scientist teams, think tank members, trusted silver high-level officials, almost all personnel gathered together, and the content of the discussion was naturally the empty black domain where the human fleet is now located.

“…… Judging from the detected results, this 2200 million light-year star field is a blank, with no planets, no stars, and no nebula matter, which is a vacuum relative to the entire universe. ”

"Our material reserves are quite sufficient, in terms of current consumption, we can last 32,000 years for all life consumption, and if we save a little more, then we can also use it for 40,000 years."

"But the energy reserves, that is, the energy consumed in the antimatter reactor, are seriously insufficient, if the gravitational slingshot is not used, it can consume about 10,000 years, and then the refusion reactor will have to be used, but even so, it will consume a maximum of 30,000 years."

"If you're going to use a gravitational slingshot...... We can only travel about fifteen million light-years at most, after which we run out of energy. ”

Some experts made a summary report through video, and everyone present actually watched the report several times, and at this time it still sounded like their faces were pale.

Lu Yuanming sighed and said, "What about vacuum zero?" What about the prototype of the zero-point engine? ”

The great scientist Liu Yan stood up and sighed: "The technology is too high, although it is not completely impossible to analyze, but it will take at least a few years to more than ten years to reverse engineer, this is not the key, the key is that the power of this prototype type will definitely not be able to support the gravitational slingshot, and to make a new zero-point engine, it means that we need a lot of materials, and there is a possibility of failure, at least in the early ......stage."

"This is the same as the original antimatter reactor, the size is extremely huge, and the same is true of the zero-point engine, the principle is that through the ultra-high energy of the antimatter reactor, with the help of space technology to reach the curvature limit in the local space, that is, the black hole horizon range, with the black hole horizon Hawking radiation form to achieve the extraction of vacuum zero-point energy, the prototype type technology is very high-tech and not to mention, the current calculation formula shows that a zero-point engine made with our current technology, its size is at least half of the size of a moon."

"Unless we find a geological planet, I'm afraid we will only be able to build four Zero Engines with our current reserves."

The crowd was silent again.

Naturally, in the galaxy, I don't think that the technology of the fourth-level cosmic civilization is enough to easily disintegrate the planets, what matter can't be obtained?

If you want to test new technology and make new equipment, the material is piled up, damaged, and failed, so let's do it a hundred times, doesn't it say that failure is the mother of success?

But it is naturally impossible to do this here, although many substances can be recycled, but once it comes to the high-intensity curvature space, or even the experiment of the black hole horizon, the loss of the substance is really lost, and it is impossible to give you a share of recycling.

In order to create the main energy used in the next stage of cosmic civilization, that is, vacuum zero-point energy, even if this kind of cross-civilization technology has a specific creation to reverse engineer, if you want to create the original version, you need to test and fail repeatedly, not to mention too much, ten failures are considered lucky.

The material consumption in this middle is enough to reduce the already abundant material reserves of mankind to a dangerous line, and it is very likely that it will not be able to support it for even 4,000 years.

This is the current desperate situation.

Human beings are not fully prepared when they are in the galaxy of the fourth coordinates, and no matter how they are, they will not carry the galaxy to this third coordinate area, right?

But who knew that this third coordinate area was actually such a situation, if it had been known, not to mention carrying the galaxy, at least it would be an endless cluster of carrier fleets.

Everything is difficult to buy, and it is too late to say anything at this time, and everyone is depressed, but they have to keep thinking of ways to break the situation.

In a word, when the sky falls, there is a tall one, and one here is counted as one, Lu Yuanming is the tallest, and the rest are the second tallest, and now they must find a way to go up.

At this time, someone asked: "What about Tang Zhe'an's use of a gravitational slingshot?" Spiritual ability, or order transcendence, doesn't always use so much energy, right? ”

Tang Zhe'an was stunned when he heard this, he sneered, but he didn't say a word, Wei said for Tang Zhe'an at this time: "What do you say, spiritual ability is not a perpetual motion machine, nor does it come out of thin air, this is essentially a use of dark matter, but what is consumed is our life, don't look at the great psyker is so powerful, he can use his spiritual ability to the cosmic scale, which is also a symbol of our vitality prying thousands of times more energy, not to mention that our vitality will naturally be consumed in this process, and it will also be distorted by terrorist information, It's not just me, it's Tang Zhe'an. ”

Someone whispered, "Isn't the one who decids able to cure your aberrations?" ”

Wei also noticed something at this time, and she immediately sneered.

Even if she is not human, and she used to be enemies with Tang Zhe'an, but as the only two great psionics, she must also speak for Tang Zhe'an, but when it comes to this, there are obviously other meanings in it.

Lu Yuanming's face was angry, he stared at the two government officials who spoke, and these two officials were cramped, but soon one of them said with righteousness: "Everyone can be sacrificed, even the decision-maker can be sacrificed, and we can naturally be sacrificed, so can Tang Zhe'an be sacrificed?" ”

Lu Yuanming ignored it.

There is really no need to follow this, because if you want to talk about the right, you can't finish talking, but this world is not pure black and white, and sacrifice can be made, and it needs to be voluntary, not that the superior forces the lower to sacrifice, or asks others to sacrifice with "rightness".

"I thought there was no soil for these bed bugs to live in, but I didn't expect it to be."

Lu Yuanming looked at Wu Changdao, who had been silent next to him: "Check, send it to the roots, and then directly send them to the life-sustaining ship, send them to the universe to find freedom, if you want to be right, then I will give them all the right!" ”

After saying this, Lu Yuanming ignored the two pale officials, and he said: "Test the dark matter dark energy four-piece set again, since it is the reward given by the previous coordinate area, and it is given four pieces at one time, it means that these four pieces must be used here, test it first, and use the other method we are talking about." ”

Everyone nodded, but they were all stunned, they didn't know that there was another way.

Tang Zhe'an scratched his hair and said, "Are you going to go down?" Bring the entire human fleet into the world of dark matter and then go on a shuttle? Can you do this now? ”

Lu Yuanming said bluntly: "Now I can do it, but I feel that it will be dangerous to go down like this, although I don't know where this danger comes from...... So in the end, I won't choose this solution, and I'll try to solve it in the material universe first. ”

Although everyone was a little sorry, they finally had a bottom in their hearts.

Compared with the curvature navigation in the material universe, the gravitational slingshot these faster-than-light navigation technologies, unless the scientific and technological progress is to directly carry out space jumps, otherwise the speed of shuttle from the dark matter world is faster, as long as the dimensionality reduction and annihilation of matter into the dark matter world can be overcome, and then the coordinate system of the dark matter world corresponding to the material world is clarified, then the dark matter shuttle speed can no longer be calculated at the speed of light, maybe a day of sailing in the dark matter world, the conversion to the material world is thousands of light years away.

It's just that Lu Yuanming has always sensed that there is a faint danger in the dark matter world, and it doesn't matter if he goes down alone, or Tang Zhe'an or the inhabitants of the dark matter world, but once he brings more than 100 million material beings into the dark matter world, there may be any big changes.

This is the last resort.

In the next few days, the scientists immediately began to test the four creations involving the dark matter and dark energy according to Lu Yuanming's instructions, but the technology level involving dark matter and dark energy is extremely high, perhaps higher than the technology level of zero-point vacuum energy, and the reverse engineering of these four artifacts is very unsmooth...... To put it bluntly, almost zero.

Scientists don't even know what the parts of these four creations are.

After several days of futile work, scientists had to temporarily abandon the reverse engineering of these four objects and instead test their safety, but this was also in vain, and they did not even understand their construction and basic principles, just like primitive people got the atomic bomb and wanted to test the safety? Test it with an atomic bomb barbecue?

Naturally, this will not work, so in the end, the scientists can only compromise and write a joint letter, and can only put it to practical use, and stay away from the Blue Star just in case.

There's really no way around it.

The four pieces involve the creation of dark matter and dark energy, the dark matter temporary field maker, the dark matter technology stabilization device, the dark energy wide-area detection radar, and the dark matter lifting space ladder, of which the dark matter trio is obviously used for dark matter, which is a practical application, the field and technology are stably applied in the dark matter world, which can defend the human world tree and popularize the material world weapons on a large scale in the dark matter world, and the dark matter lifting space ladder can allow the material world legion to enter the dark matter world on a large scale.

All three of these pieces are apparently used to defend against the Human World Tree.

Only the dark energy wide-area detection radar is very suspicious, so the first test object is this.

Soon, the test results came out, this radar is not harmful, it shows a scanning range of ten light years, and it is displayed in real time at the speed of light, these are not harmful, what really moved everyone is......

Within ten light-years of human beings, two dark energy markers have been discovered!

Something is in the midst of nothingness!
