Chapter 814: Cosmic Civilization

Of course, the spoils that the Earth civilization has harvested from the Iron Battle Star this time are actually far more than what has been mentioned above.

In addition to the obvious physical materials such as various sophisticated and cutting-edge equipment and various scarce biological resources inside the Iron Battlestar, the information stored in the various intelligent storage centers of the Iron Battlestar is a bottomless treasure.

In the foreseeable future, the earth civilization will undoubtedly be able to scavenge more and deeper secrets in the steel battle star, some of which are outdated and effective, and no longer have value to the earth civilization.

However, there is a large amount of relevant information about the ancient civilization of the meteorite star sea, which can undoubtedly bring unexpected benefits to the civilization of the earth.

Not to mention, if one day the earth civilization can dig out the layout of the wormhole channel network that the ancient civilization painstakingly managed in the steel battle star, it will undoubtedly have incomparably far-reaching significance for the earth civilization, and the earth civilization is likely to be able to fully receive all the wormhole channels left by the ancient civilization, so that the living space of the earth civilization will skyrocket even more.

Although today's earth civilization has inherited a considerable part of the wormhole channel facilities of the ancient civilization on the meteorite star sea, compared with the huge wormhole network that the ancient civilization once had, there is no doubt that the wormhole route mastered by the current earth civilization is only a very insignificant part of it.

On the one hand, through the knowledge inheritance of the Canglan civilization, the earth civilization clearly understands the huge family background of those real cosmic-level civilizations, and knows the strength of the ancient civilizations, and the wormhole network it has painstakingly managed must be at least hundreds of times more than the number of wormhole passages discovered by the earth civilization today.

On the other hand, this is also because the earth civilization has direct evidence, and the wormhole channels that have been discovered by the earth civilization have corresponding sequence numbers, according to the numbered numbers, the wormhole network mastered by the earth civilization is undoubtedly only the tip of the iceberg compared to the overall wormhole network scale of the ancient civilization.

With such an understanding, it is no wonder that the earth civilization will do everything possible to explore the wormhole network resources of the ancient civilization, because this is a huge temptation that cannot be resisted by the current earth civilization.

The wormhole channel is such a thing, its convenience is really who uses who knows, the role of interstellar long-distance transportation is fundamentally unparalleled, this is the cosmic civilization-level high-speed transportation network that can only be built by a cosmic civilization, as long as it has it, a civilization can develop calmly on the scale of tens of thousands of light years, and can carry out large-scale transportation of materials and troops across long distances.

It can be said that the most fundamental reason why the earth civilization has been able to develop at a speed unimaginable in the meteorite star sea at an unimaginable speed is that the earth civilization has mastered some wormhole technology and can rediscover and use the wormhole channels left by ancient civilizations.

Without the help of the wormhole channel, even if the earth civilization had the great convenience of the planetary teleportation array, it would be difficult for it to form such a rapid expansion in the meteorite star sea.

After all, the planetary teleportation array also has a lot of defects compared to the wormhole channel, not only the teleportation distance cannot be compared with it, but also the teleportation scale, teleportation quantity, teleportation efficiency, etc., cannot compete with the wormhole channel.

It can be said that without the great convenience provided by the wormhole channel for the earth civilization, the earth civilization would not have come to such a level of development so quickly, and the importance of the earth civilization to the wormhole channel is naturally conceivable.

Up to now, in the star fields that the earth's civilization has expanded, there are still a large number of wormhole exploration ships shuttling and busily in various star fields, hoping to rediscover new wormhole passages in the star fields that the earth's civilization has expanded.

The growing number of wormhole passages of the earth civilization, a considerable part of which has been excavated in this way, sometimes once a wormhole channel is successfully excavated, through the wormhole channel to control the information residue in the base, the earth civilization can also follow the vine, find the location coordinates of other different channels in the same network line, so that the earth civilization can find more wormhole channels.

But I have to say that the difficulty of rediscovering those hidden wormhole passages is quite huge.

In the case of the wormhole passage being closed and hidden, its space-time fluctuation signal is quite small, and the wormhole exploration ship can often only be found when it is very close to the wormhole channel, and sometimes there will be omissions, which makes the re-excavation of the wormhole passage of the earth civilization appear difficult and extremely difficult, and the earth civilization usually cannot find a wormhole channel for several years.

As the territory area owned by the earth civilization is getting larger and larger, the demand for wormhole passages is also getting higher and higher, knowing that there are still a large number of wormhole passages hidden in this starry sky, but it is always difficult to dig them out, which is already a kind of torture for the earth civilization.

After the capture of the Iron Battle Star, the earth civilization quickly collected, excavated and screened the internal information of the Iron Battle Star as much as possible, and one of the important purposes was to see if it could dig out the specific location and coordinate information of some wormhole passages from the Iron Battle Star as much as possible.

Although Iron Battlestar is a tool of foreign warfare, the wormhole channel information within the civilization is not something it needs to care about, and theoretically speaking, there should be no relevant information inside Iron Battlestar.

But after all, the Iron Battlestar was once a heavy weapon of war that was manipulated and controlled by humans, and before this Iron Battlestar was given a new mission to guard the meteorite star in the dust, a large number of operators and combat personnel were stationed on this Iron Battlestar, and the information generated by the exchanges between these personnel and the news transmitted by them may not be without news about the wormhole channel network.

The earth's civilization is holding information similar to archaeological excavations, trying to refind those relevant information millions of years ago, even old information that has been covered by information, and after repairing them, they want to find something valuable from them as much as possible.

Although it is difficult to say that such work is cumbersome and complicated, and whether it can achieve the goal that the earth civilization wants to achieve in the end, from the perspective of the earth civilization, such an investment is obviously very worthwhile, but anything that can be unearthed from it is worth a lot of manpower and material resources.

In fact, even the valuable information that the Earth civilization has already harvested from the Iron Battle Star is already a huge boost for the Earth civilization.

Some senior top scientists within the earth civilization have briefly analyzed the scientific and technological data, material production process data, etc. harvested from the steel battle star, and believe that once the earth civilization can fully absorb and transform into the scientific and technological system of the earth civilization, then in the last one or two hundred years, a large number of breakthroughs will be born in all aspects of the scientific and technological fields of the earth civilization, and the earth civilization will be expected to leapfrog to the level of cosmic civilization in the next few hundred years!

The biggest feature of cosmic-level civilization is that the activity ability and communication ability of the civilization have reached the level of cross-galaxy development, and it can crisscross hundreds of thousands of light-years and even more distant space-time across the stars.

Of course, a true cosmic-level civilization is not just capable of crossing a distance of hundreds of thousands of light years, it must have the ability to be independent.

For example, the earth civilization, even if it has a steel battle star, can take the steel battle star to carry out ultra-long-range space-time jumping, jump to other galaxies hundreds of thousands of light years away through a few decades, and carry out cross-galaxy colonization, exchange, trade activities, etc., but because the steel battle star is not independently manufactured by the earth civilization itself, the earth civilization is not a cosmic scientific and technological civilization in the true sense.

For example, this kind of civilization that has captured from other civilizations, or purchased vehicles with interstellar activity capabilities, is not a cosmic civilization in the real sense at all, at best, it is equivalent to a parallel interstellar civilization that does not have the ability to independently produce faster-than-light spaceships during the interstellar civilization period, on the surface, it seems that it has entered the level of interstellar civilization, but in fact, such civilization is just a vassal of a real cosmic-level civilization.

This kind of slapping a swollen face and filling a fat man to improve the level of civilization strength is naturally not the development method that the earth civilization wants to pursue, even if the earth civilization wants to enter the era of cosmic civilization, it must rely on its own hard power.

With the scientific system of the earth's civilization, the profound civilization inheritance, and the strength to independently master the core science and technology of the cosmic-level civilization, the earth's civilization is fully possessed.

From the perspective of the scientific and technological strength of the current earth civilization, in order to reach the level of interstellar travel ability, the earth civilization has two more realistic development routes.

One is to break through the bottleneck of science and technology, integrate the full set of scientific systems of the earth's civilization, conduct in-depth analysis and interpretation of various scientific and technological elements contained in the Iron Battlestar, and finally imitate the construction of a powerful transport vehicle similar to the Iron Battlestar with ultra-long-range space-time jump ability.

Of course, this path to promotion to a cosmic-level civilization is actually easy and difficult, it seems that the earth civilization has scavenged all kinds of advanced technologies within the Iron Battlestar, and the Iron Battlestar repairs and maintains itself, and the various technologies that maintain its long-term combat effectiveness The Earth civilization has been able to master it relatively easily, and then it seems that it can further develop the ability to create similar war vehicles.

But in reality, this is an extremely difficult route to development.

Even if the Earth civilization does not directly create a behemoth similar to the Iron Battlestar, but only creates a large vehicle with ultra-long-range space-time jumping ability, this is by no means something that can be done in a short period of time.

Because although there is a large amount of extremely high-level science and technology inside the Iron Battlestar, it does not really contain a complete set of technical information for building the Iron Battlestar.

This includes the overall planning and construction blueprint of the Iron Battlestar, the production and manufacturing process of each important core component, etc., all of which are not available.

The technology inside the Iron Battlestar is only limited to tinkering with the battlestars, and some of the core secret technologies are not even a word in the Iron Battlestar.

Other interstellar civilizations may not be clear, but the earth civilization is very clear, don't look at the Iron Battlestar There are a lot of scientific and technological materials and production and construction resources stored inside, but in fact, for the construction of a complete Iron Battlestar, the content it contains is really less than one ten-thousandth.

The reason why this is so is because the internal space of the Iron Battlestar is too small after all, even with the use of space expansion technology, it is completely insufficient to really carry an industrial system that can self-replicate the Battlestar.

Just looking at the fact that the Steel Battlestar does not even have a full set of production processes for the superlight gun, it can be seen that the production equipment and means of production inside the Steel Battlestar are actually quite limited.

Of course, in fact, not to mention the actual equipment inside the Iron Battlestar, even a full set of technical information is not available, the most fundamental reason for this is undoubtedly to keep it secret, although the possibility of the Iron Battlestar losing contact with the problem is not even one in a billion, but the ancient civilization has undoubtedly eliminated the possibility of leakage of related technologies in the heel, and the important core technical information is not stored in the Iron Battlestar at all, which is actually what any civilization will do, and no one will leave a full set of technical secrets in the war equipment。

The reason why Iron Battlestar has a large amount of technical information is also because of the particularity of Iron Battlestar, it is a super war weapon that can be self-sustaining for hundreds of millions of years, and in order to be self-sustaining for a long time, it has to have a large amount of technical data, equipment, resources, etc., which are stored inside Iron Battlestar.

Otherwise, if you change to other war vehicles, some of the operation manuals or something in them are already the limit, and there will not even be maintenance technical manuals, and if there is a failure, go directly back to the maintenance base and be repaired by professionals, that is the normal logic.

However, the lack of a full set of technologies of the Iron Battlestar has become a barrier for the earth civilization to imitate similar equipment, which makes it impossible for the earth civilization to make a breakthrough in a short period of time, and this road is simply not working.

In fact, there is no shortage of technology in the earth's civilization, and if we want to talk about technology, what technology does the earth's civilization not have? But no matter how much technology there is, the earth's civilization is now lacking the step of localization and practicalization.

In the technological inheritance of the Canglan civilization, there are already more than one set of manufacturing technologies for battle-star superweapons, among which the production technology and manufacturing process of the white dwarf star battlestar, which is countless times more advanced than the steel battlestar, the earth civilization has also had a complete inheritance, and even the more advanced neutron star battlestar technology, the earth civilization also has a relatively complete set of technology.
