Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 1417 Stepping on a Meteor to Cross the Void

This galaxy has a diameter of 1.5 light-years, and the "Star Accelerator" is a large structure composed of 1.53 million large rings, shaped like a spiral mosquito coil. Its outermost ring is actually the outermost edge of the original galaxy disk.

In other words, if one were to enter the "Star Accelerator" at a normal speed, even if it were at the speed of light from the moment one enters, it would still take approximately 47,000 years to circle the outermost ring of the accelerator.

However, even at the moment the "Star Accelerator" was completed, the cosmic catastrophe was only 20,000 light-years away. Therefore, the acceleration of the planet could not be just a conventional acceleration. Otherwise, with a slow acceleration using conventional power, everyone would be swallowed up by the cosmic catastrophe zone before they even left this place.

The Divine Ju civilization certainly wouldn't allow such a thing to happen, so the "Star Accelerator" they designed also had a function similar to traversing wormholes. That is, when the "Star Accelerator" was running, a fast passage would appear between every two "large circles".

The accelerated planets use the same mode of jumping through the acceleration channels as the neutron war stars of the Divine Moment civilization, which utilizes spatial elasticity for jumping.

Not just planets, but all of them allow us to experience the hopping movement of a neutron war star.

The Star Accelerator is a device that combines jumping movement with acceleration through a special gravitational field to allow the accelerated planet to quickly reach near the speed of light.

It is a galaxy-level matter accelerator. With the technological strength of a level six civilization, only by building something that big could they empty an entire galaxy.

Ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was time to set sail.

All civilizations arrived at the entrance of the "Star Accelerator." At this time, in addition to spaceships scattered throughout the void, there were also various planets at the exit. With the support of 515 Level 6 civilization technologies, they were scattered across the void.

Shortly afterward, a command message was sent from the Divine Moment Civilization, and the command message immediately acted on each of the large circles of the "Star Accelerator" in the form of quantum entanglement.

At that moment, 1.53 million large circles suddenly trembled at the same time, and then they began to rotate, starting slowly and then speeding up.

As the giant circle rotates, the surrounding stars also slowly rotate.

As the rotation speed gradually increases, gravitational waves ripple through the starry sky, caused by the massive rotation and entanglement of the stars. However, these gravitational waves cannot travel billions of light-years like the gravitational waves from the merger of black holes, because after their formation, they are absorbed by the larger rings at the center, thanks to the technology of the Divine Moment civilization, and become the driving force for the "stellar accelerator".

From a distance, the groups of stars revolving in large circles look like a bunch of fiery wheels spinning in the void, except that the flames around them are the flickering tongues of fire from the stars' movement, making it look quite spectacular.

As the rotation reached the threshold preset by the Divine Moment civilization, the "Star Accelerator" was finally officially activated. And it was at this very moment of activation that an invisible passage was formed.

The planet, which was prepared in advance, will be rapidly orbited around the central black hole through the channel formed by this peculiar gravitational field, eventually being accelerated to near the speed of light, and then flung towards the target direction.

After ten thousand years of effort, the three great voyages, involving 515 civilizations, finally embarked on their journey once again.

Watching the planets being drawn into the "Star Accelerator" like floating objects being slowly sucked into a vortex, all the intelligent life forms of the 515 Level VI civilizations felt an unprecedented sense of security welling up within them. They knew that these planets being sucked into the "Star Accelerator" were supplies for their future journey. Although the road ahead was more distant than before, they felt more at ease than ever before.

It's a feeling of "having food in hand and not panicking".

"What a dreamlike scene!"

As planets were sucked into the horn-shaped entrance by the storm, countless intelligent life forms echoed the same sentiment.

The unique technology of the Divine Ju civilization is so powerful and useful that the "Star Accelerator" built with its unique technology is like an automatic vacuum cleaner. Under the action of its special gravitational field, the funnel-shaped entrance instantly becomes a gravitational vortex of the starry sky, drawing stars into the acceleration channel.

During this process, some civilizations that were arranged to set off first also entered the passage along with the planet in a rotating, circling trajectory in the entrance space.

Eight hundred million stars, plus billions of rocky planets, and fleets from 515 civilizations were gradually sucked into the channel over the next period of time, just like a giant whale in space opening its mouth and swallowing all the fish and shrimp in an area of ​​the ocean.

One lap, two laps, three laps, four laps.
Like a mass accelerator, a vast number of stars and fleets that appear like fragments compared to the stars are circling inside the "star accelerator," their speed increasing with each lap.

Finally, they arrived at the acceleration channel near the central black hole. The powerful gravity of the black hole gave all the planets and the fleet a final push, accelerating them from near the speed of light to a speed that was extremely close to the speed of light.

In the process of being accelerated from relative stillness to relative light speed, the intrinsic timelines of the stars and the fleets of various civilizations have been constantly changing, and the spacetime relationship between the two has undergone earth-shattering changes until they are meaningless to each other.

At this moment, from the perspective of the "Star Accelerator" observer, the launched stars and planets all turned into streaks of light. And all the life forms of the 515 civilizations, like beings riding on shooting stars, gradually disappeared into the deep darkness.

Intelligent beings, as insignificant as grains of sand, used their wisdom to shake the stars and mountains, and used their great technology to leave evidence of their existence in the universe once again—the Star Accelerator. Although this so-called evidence, this so-called trace of their presence, will be ruthlessly destroyed by a cosmic catastrophe in about ten thousand years, it can still be considered as shouting to this vast universe.

Although such a cry seems so insignificant to the vast universe, and can be described as laughable as a constant struggle, it is the courage of life to strive for self-improvement and the wisdom to explore the endless unknown.

This ultra-long-distance voyage, with 515 civilizations accompanied by stars, was a journey bathed in light and heat. However, the distance of 3980 million light-years was still no small matter, so everyone chose to slumber, choosing to close their eyes and accept the darkness.

Outside the ship, the stars shone brightly, a world of light, but inside the ship, the world remained dark, and people slept in darkness like the dead.

They immerse themselves in darkness, blending into it, all so that they can better embrace the light in the future.

The universe watches all this silently, without a word, without sorrow or joy, without anger or resentment. It disregards everything, yet embraces everything; it endures forever!
Looking at the vast starry sky and endless galaxies, Shi Jiao said, "The four directions above and below are called the universe, and the past and present are called the cosmos!"
