Chapter 380: The Key to God-level Civilization

Shui Wangqiu put away the core components of the battle star, then sat in front of Yue Yuanzhou and said excitedly, "Did you see the 'key' in the Sea of ​​Dirac?"

"It's not accurate to say 'look', but that's about what it means."

Yue Yuanzhou took a sip of the tea that had already been brewed, and his words became a bit awe-inspiring: "I will establish this theory during this time, and then submit it to the Academy of Sciences for verification. This theory has a great relationship with God-level civilization. , any participating scientists must keep it strictly confidential, and I do not allow any words about this theory to appear in any affiliated civilization."

Speaking of this, his tone softened a bit: "The history of civilization's advancement is actually the history of the use of energy. Only with enough energy can the corresponding technology be leveraged."

Shui Wangqiu also took a sip of tea silently. He was naturally familiar with this kind of saying, just like using chemical energy, no matter how high the utilization rate is, you will never think about the stars and the sea, and you can only move around the mother star.

Only with more efficient atomic energy can civilization really get out of the cradle and sail towards the sea of ​​stars.

Yue Yuanzhou said that the progress of civilization is the history of energy utilization, which made Shui Wangqiu sound a kind of civilization classification, which is what Kardashev said.

That is, the Type [-] civilization can utilize all the energy produced by its parent star.This civilization is the master of planetary energy, which means that they can dominate the sum of energy of this planet and surrounding satellites.

A Type II civilization, one capable of harvesting the energy of an entire star system.That is the origin of the legendary Dyson ball project. According to this classification, the Dyson ball is the product of the second type of civilization.

The third type of civilization, which can use the energy of the entire galaxy system.

In fact, using the energy of one star and using the energy of hundreds of millions of stars are both star energy in essence. From the perspective of Shenzhou civilization, there is no essential difference between this.

Of course, the entire Milky Way system must include not only stars, but also the energy conversion rate generated by black hole jets. The energy conversion rate of black holes is as high as 45%, which is much higher than the highest 15% of nuclear energy.

Shui Wangqiu believes that the Shenzhou civilization does not seem to belong to any of these three types, and of course it is higher than these three types.

Although he also felt that this classification was very general, he still asked curiously: "Do we belong to the fourth type of civilization?"

"Oh?" Yue Yuanzhou was quite surprised when he heard the words. He clearly said that the key to unlocking the god-level civilization is energy that is more efficient and has a larger magnitude than vacuum zero-point energy. How did Shui Wangqiu's thinking suddenly reach the level of civilization? Sort it out.

Shui Wangqiu expanded this civilization classification at this time, and he said: "The fourth type of civilization utilizes the energy of the entire universe. The fifth type uses the energy of the entire universe."

Yue Yuanzhou frowned, looked at Shui Wangqiu and said helplessly: "It's too general, what is the energy of the entire universe, if it refers to the energy produced by all stars, how is it different from the third type, in a certain sense Speaking of it, it’s all about infinite energy. And the multiverse. Let’s not talk about it.”

"Then?" Shui Wangqiu became even more curious, how to divide it, could it be a level 1, level 2, level 10?
He seemed to have heard that the Shenzhou civilization used to classify civilizations in this way.What he didn't expect was that Yue Yuanzhou didn't say that.

Yue Yuanzhou said: "For today's Shenzhou civilization, civilization only needs to be divided into several categories. The first category is general civilization, which refers to civilizations that have not mastered the zero-point energy of vacuum. Without the support of energy of this magnitude, large Unifying power cannot be combined, so the vacuum zero-point energy can be used as a watershed to distinguish between ordinary civilization and super civilization."

Although a civilization that masters vacuum zero-point energy does not necessarily master the great unification force, without such huge energy support, it is impossible to combine the three forces into a grand unification force.

"Further up is super civilization, and we still belong to this category. Mastering the rules is the god-level civilization, and this is the key I want to talk about. In fact, this key is in the hands of all civilizations that have become super civilizations. They all There is a chance, it’s just whether you have discovered it.”

"What is this key?" Shui Wangqiu frowned, because he wanted to get a possibility, so he said, "Didn't it mean that a super civilization had a technological explosion by accident and mastered this key?" Key, open this door, and then surpass all other super civilizations? Doesn’t it mean that other super civilizations may also catch up with or surpass us?!”

"Correct!"

"Then what if we encounter other super civilizations?"

"Find a way to lock their technology, no matter what, they must not surpass us." Yue Yuanzhou said quietly.

"As for what the key is, it starts with the Dirac Sea and the zero-point energy of vacuum."

Yue Yuanzhou leaned on the sofa, spread his hands, and continued to speak: "The bottom layer of the Dirac Sea is actually the bottom layer of the universe, and the vacuum zero-point energy is actually a little bit of energy penetrated by 'cosmic breath'!"

"Cosmic breath? Penetration. You mean. Chaos Sea?"

"You're a quick brain." Yue Yuanzhou first praised Shui Wangqiu, and then explained: "Actually, cosmic breathing is just a metaphor, and the source of vacuum zero-point energy is actually the chaotic sea seeping in from the cosmic membrane. Just a little bit of it, and then a sliver of energy produced by melting with the universe itself.

During this process, there will be slight fluctuations in the entire universe, and I guess that is the truth of vacuum quantum fluctuations. "

"This! You mean the kind that melted the energy and space when we sailed in the chaotic sea back then?" Shui Wangqiu forgot to put down the teacup in his hand, and he has almost confirmed it now.

Sure enough, Yue Yuanzhou smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I call it time-space ablation energy, or space-time energy for short."

Shui Wangqiu nodded. In fact, the ablated space is not just space. The space mentioned is familiar with the change of time, because the unification of information has shown that time and space are produced at the same time, and they are inseparable.

Now he can also understand why the energy of this time-space ablation is so huge. The time-space of the entire three-dimensional universe includes three dimensions in the macroscopic and eight dimensions shrunk in the microscopic. All 'burning' becomes pure energy release.

Its hugeness can be imagined, and it leaks just a little bit, forming the vacuum quantum fluctuation of the entire universe, and the almost endless vacuum zero-point energy appears.

Now he also understands why the vacuum zero-point energy is infinite according to the quantum field theory, and why energy can be extracted from any point in space through the Casimir effect and TF interference.

Yue Yuanzhou continued at this time: "Actually, I have always been curious about how the civilizations in the chaotic sea that can't go out of the universe discover void energy. At that time, I had two ideas.

The first is to have special technology like us, such as cutting space or something, but later I found that the space cut out cannot be studied at all, and any communication in that kind of fault cannot transmit information.

Then there is only one kind left, that is to discover and skillfully apply the vacuum zero-point energy first, and then continue to dig deeper to discover the truth of the vacuum zero-point energy.

That is to say, according to the normal development of civilization, one must first possess vacuum zero-point energy before it is possible to master space energy! "

Shui Wangqiu has always been a scientist, calmness is one of his attributes, so he quickly said calmly: "Doesn't it mean that other civilizations that have not mastered the zero-point energy of vacuum have all lost their qualifications to advance to the god level?"

"Based on what I know so far, it can be said that."

Yue Yuanzhou stood up at this time and said, "This matter is only known to the Academy of Sciences. As for Wen Mang who is traveling with you this time, you can just tell him the result. You know what to say."

"I understand!" Shui Wangqiu nodded.

Before Yue Yuanzhou walked out of the office, he stopped and said: "People with a bit of social science, try to spread the news that the stars are the eternal energy, the greatest energy, and just broadcast the universe once in a while, they know what to do.

For civilizations that have mastered the zero-point energy of vacuum, they already hold the key in their hands, and they may find the right door on this road at any time. Therefore, we have two countermeasures for this kind of civilization. The first is to become our vassal.Second: Eliminate possible future threats. "

Of course, he doesn't need to say much about the way to eliminate the threat. The same is true for those civilizations who are researching vacuum zero-point energy. Wen Mang knows how to do it.

As for those civilizations that have not mastered the vacuum zero-point energy, Yue Yuanzhou didn't mention a word. Those are destined to perish in the universe and cannot become a threat.
