Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 1116 Resentment
From this moment on, all the fourteen civilizations were left with was the vast void.

The 254 million light-years have only traveled 10 light-years, and according to the sixth-level navigation level, it will take another years. However, this requires non-stop sailing, and it is obvious that the long-distance fleet cannot sail continuously for more than years.

The first is that the continuously working warp engine needs maintenance, and the second is the replenishment of material energy.

With the normal technological level of a level six civilization, a battleship can only travel 100,000 light years at most after it is fully fueled, and then it has to stop to recharge the battleship.

The source of supplies and fuel is the large-scale transport fleet.

According to calculations by scientists from various civilizations, such a large-scale transport fleet is sufficient for the 10 to 20 million warships. In other words, in theory, the long-distance fleet can reach the Andromeda Galaxy.

They even took into account the losses caused by some special situations, such as losses due to failures, losses due to unknown dangers in the void, etc. The fact that the transport fleet can be so large is the result of comprehensive calculations.

However, there are many factors that cannot be calculated no matter how much, and each civilization can only prepare some contingency plans in case of emergency.

When it comes to such extremely long-distance voyages, the first problem that every civilization has to face is always fuel.

As we all know, the longer the journey, the more fuel the ship needs, but the more fuel the ship is heavier. The heavier the ship is, the more energy is needed to drive the ship, and the greater the navigation consumption.

And this factor is what affects the maximum distance that a level six civilization or a level six civilization warship can travel.

Under the influence of this factor, even if the warship could be built to be large enough to be measured in light years, it would not be able to break through the maximum distance without mid-journey replenishment.

Unless, unless we can explore the principle of the Higgs mass mechanism, master the technology of how the Higgs mechanism gives mass to objects and its reverse application technology, that is, eliminate the mass manifestation of objects.

It is a pity that none of the civilizations in the Milky Way have mastered this technology, otherwise the great voyages would not be so difficult.

If a battleship could be made to have no external mass and then filled with energy fuel inside, it would be like pushing a massless object forward.

However, the Higgs mechanism is not equal to the gravitational effect.

Civilizations like the Shenju civilization have mastered special technologies related to gravity, which can strengthen and weaken gravitational effects to a certain extent, and can even block gravitational effects.

But that only blocks the manifestation of gravity, and the mass mechanism is an intrinsic property of an object, just like the microscopic particles must have the intrinsic property of spin. Even if you block its gravitational manifestation, its intrinsic mass effect is still there.

That is to say, the energy required to drive it is still that great.

When the fifth-level civilization first appeared, some scientists placed their hopes on negative matter. The reason was that according to existing scientific theories, the mass of negative matter is a negative number, and the mass of positive matter is a positive number. Logically speaking, when positive and negative numbers of the same mass are put together, the total mass should be zero.

According to this logic, if half of the negative mass objects are stuffed into the warship, the mass of the warship will be zero. However, the facts slapped the faces of all civilizations. It is an existence that goes against common sense. The added mass performance is superposition, not cancellation, and the energy required for warp speed travel is also doubled.

As a result, long voyages became extremely difficult.

However, the fourteen civilizations in this period have not yet realized it, but they have also begun to consciously propose various resource-saving strategies. Human civilization has also restarted the hibernation plan.

But this hibernation is different from the low-temperature freezing hibernation when we first set foot in interstellar space. Human technology has obviously made great progress as a level 6 civilization.

Today's hibernation capsules are very comfortable. When humans lie down in them, it's just like sleeping. The advanced technology will allow humans to fall asleep peacefully and make them forget the passage of time during their sleep. A dream of a thousand years has come true.

In long voyages like this, each civilization reduces the activities of individual lives to save resources. Scientific research activities and projects also enter a semi-dormant state because scientific research consumes more materials and energy.

This is one reason. Another reason is the technological barrier of the seventh-level civilization. Everyone knows that no matter how much research is done, it is impossible to truly master vacuum zero-point energy, otherwise there would be no need for long voyages. Therefore, the so-called scientific research is nothing more than the research of various sixth-level civilization derivative technologies. There is limited room for improvement, and there is really no need to conduct research under such circumstances.

Among the fourteen civilizations, there is one exception, the Galactic Core Civilization. While other civilizations have entered hibernation, they are still working hard on the construction. They need time to build the new Galaxy.

Seeing how enthusiastic the Galactic Center civilization is, those civilizations without distinctive technologies are extremely envious, but they just don’t have them.

The Tianxing civilization has even greater resentment. Originally, they did not want to be the "leader" and wanted to negotiate with other civilizations only after they actually set sail. But now that each civilization has found a legitimate reason to go into hibernation, they are using this as an excuse to delay with justification.

We can hold a meeting to discuss, but there are many things we cannot decide. We have to wait for our leader to wake up from hibernation before we can give you an answer. If you want to ask when our leader will wake up, we don't know. Our civilization's hibernation technology is actually not that good. You should wake up after waiting for 1,800 years.

what?
You mean forced awakening?

How can this be possible? We have already said that our civilization's hibernation technology is not very good. Forcibly awakening him will cause irreversible effects. He is the supreme leader of our civilization.
For various reasons, the resentment of the Tianxing civilization is growing, and some of their violent individuals have even discussed internally whether they can use force to threaten other civilizations into submission.

Of course, the other civilizations here refer to those civilizations that do not have distinctive technologies.

The four civilizations with unique technologies are as stable as a rock. The Tianxing civilization has not even one complaint against them. They know very well who can be bullied and who cannot be provoked.

Especially in such a long voyage, there is nowhere to run.

In this way, as the voyage progressed, the resentment of the Tianxing civilization became deeper and deeper. In just a few hundred years, they frequently contacted the Gutes civilization, the Yalan civilization, and several other level six civilizations, trying to exchange their own technology with them in order to gain their support.

In fact, the requirements of the Tianxing civilization are very simple and reasonable.

Everyone takes turns to be the "leader". They can rotate according to the number of years or the distance traveled, for example, once every 100,000 light years.

Although the Tianxing civilization is a newly promoted level-six civilization, their level-six civilization technology tree is very complete. The reason is that they had an adventure in the past and obtained a complete set of level-six civilization technology trees from the ruins of a destroyed level-six civilization.

It was for this reason that they were able to reach the sixth level of civilization in such a short time after rebelling against the Persian Community.
