Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 1024 Sixth Level Civilization
The emergence of the Neutron Battle Star seems to have given the Reapers a sense of crisis. They no longer support a certain force and then harvest it as usual.

After defeating the Neutron Battle Star, the entire Reaper civilization became active frequently. Not only their electronic warships, but their conventional fleets were also searching the galaxy. Whenever they found hidden small universes or hidden level-6 civilizations, they would ruthlessly destroy and harvest their technology.

However, this behavior also caused the Reapers' combat power to be more dispersed. Their regular fleets were not bad when encountering ordinary level six civilizations, but they would not be able to defeat a civilization with special technologies. Some unlucky fleets would be directly destroyed if they encountered the Awakeners.

However, once the Awakeners or the small universes of the Galactic Core Alliance and the Silicon-based Federation are discovered, the Reapers generally let the fleet hold them back and wait for the electronic warships.

Over the past two thousand years, the Milky Way has been turned into a dark forest by the Reapers, but not all civilizations in this dark forest are hunters. Instead, there are only Reapers, and other level six civilizations are prey. Once the Reapers discover their spearheads, they will be greeted by electronic warships.

However, the Harvesters have no interest in lower-level civilizations. Their target is always level-six civilization. Even if they discover a level-five civilization during the search, the Harvesters will ignore it in most cases. This is very different from the Galactic Heart Alliance.

It is for this reason that since the battle on the Neutron Battle Star, the living environment of civilizations below level 6 has improved a lot. The reason is that the Galactic Heart Alliance has been suppressed and many of their small universes have been destroyed by the Reapers, which has greatly curbed their behavior of gathering low-level civilizations.

The six-level civilizations in the Milky Way were hiding in such an environment. However, what made them despair was that a transformable warship appeared in the Reaper's regular fleet at some unknown time.

Its transformed form is exactly the same as that of the Silicon-based Federation's warships. If it had not appeared together with the Reaper's regular fleet, it would definitely be mistaken for the Silicon-based Federation.

The level six civilizations that encountered this fleet were terrified, they thought the Reapers had successfully harvested the Silicon-based Federation. The Reapers could even harvest the special technologies of other civilizations, and the level six civilizations that received this news were even more desperate.

They wanted to beg the Reaper to let them go, and even if the Reaper just shouted: Let's go on the long voyage together, they would definitely follow him without saying a word, but the Reaper would not.

You can neither fight nor run away. You could survive in the past, but now you can only hide from place to place. Maybe one day you will be discovered by the Reaper, and then the entire civilization will perish in the long river of time.

However, in such an environment, two civilizations were promoted to the sixth level of civilization. Similarly, this also means that they encountered the worst environment in the Milky Way in millions of years.

These two civilizations are human civilization and Dayan civilization.

After two thousand years of hard work and cooperation, the two civilizations have finally perfected superstring theory, mastered dark matter technology, and successfully linked dark matter-related theories to the theory of everything.

That crucial experiment took place in the laboratory of human civilization. The moment the experiment was successful, humans received a message from the Shenju civilization.

After all, humans and Daya civilization have always been in the small universe of the Shenju civilization, so their every move naturally cannot be hidden from the Shenju civilization, and there is no need to hide it.

[Congratulations to you, especially your human civilization. You are truly amazing. You have successfully completed this experiment in such a short time without a dark star as an observation object. It seems that the civilization whose mother star was destroyed really seems to have some kind of magical will.]

[There is more than one kind of dark matter. You have successfully completed the annihilation reaction between dark matter and dark antimatter. I believe you all know its principles and related formulas. Congratulations, human civilization! You are indeed qualified to embark on a great voyage with us! ]

[When our Neutron Battle Star comes back, we can broadcast the news of a new round of great voyages to the entire Milky Way. It has been two thousand years, so the Neutron Battle Star should have returned. How come there is no news for so long? It is really strange! ]

Neutron Battle Star hadn't returned yet, so the Shenju Civilization Headquarters in the microcosm naturally didn't know about its situation, but a long time had passed, so much so that they could faintly reveal a hint of worry in their words. "Thank you for your care. Without your microcosm, we might not have had such an opportunity to complete this experiment in such a short time." The human interstellar government replied to the Shenju Civilization on behalf of human civilization.

Thank you very much indeed.

In the past, especially after humans and Dayan civilization successfully created dark matter probes, Shenju civilization provided a lot of help in dark matter minerals.

In a nutshell, whatever is available in the small universe, humans and the Daya civilization can develop it themselves. As for what is lacking in the small universe, as long as humans and the Daya civilization can accurately state the composition and structure of the dark matter they need, the Shenju civilization will take out the stock from their warehouse and give it to the two civilizations for experiments.

Just like the dark antimatter this time, there is no such thing in this small universe environment, because it needs to be produced by technological civilization itself.

However, after humans and Daya civilizations came up with detailed descriptions of dark antimatter, the Shenju civilization handed it over to the two civilizations.

This allowed humans to master the reaction mathematical formula of the annihilation of dark matter and dark antimatter in such a short time. At the same time, it was also a dark antimatter sample of the Shenju civilization, which allowed humans to quickly master the production method of dark antimatter through the scientific data obtained from its analysis in a very short time.

The energy source of the warp engine used by level VI civilization is the annihilation reaction of dark matter and dark antimatter.

However, the annihilation reaction between the two does not produce dark energy, but normal energy, but on a larger scale than the annihilation reaction of bright matter.

This is also the reason why it can drive the warp engine of the sixth-level civilization and propel larger mass spacecraft to reach a higher warp speed.

However, during the warp engine experiment, humans made an unexpected discovery.

Originally, human scientists thought that once the warp speed level of Level 213.75 civilization was achieved, it would be fixed at 150 times the speed of light, but in fact it was not the case. The first set of warp engine equipment that allowed humans to successfully break through the limit of Level light warp speed only showed a level of times the speed of light.

What's even more amazing is that humans have tried to enhance it with the Pioneer's warp enhancement equipment, and the result is still 150 times the speed of light, without any change.

This result almost made humans think that this equipment was ineffective against the warp engine of the sixth-level civilization. Fortunately, the pioneers had told us about their warp level at the time.

It is definitely effective, but it will only be effective when humans improve their warp engine technology to a higher level.

This phenomenon also caused many human dynamics experts to turn their attention to the Pioneers' warp enhancement equipment. They tried to figure out the working principle of the warp enhancement equipment. Although they knew that this was a unique technology of another civilization among the Pioneers, they were still unwilling to give up and wanted to try hard to see if they could figure it out.

Furthermore, after reaching the sixth level of civilization and mastering its iconic technology tree and principles, the scientific research cooperation between human civilization and Daya civilization came to an end.

Other branches of technology are the two civilizations’ own business. Of course, the possibility of continued exchanges in the future is not ruled out. After all, the two civilizations have been getting along pretty well for more than two thousand years.
