Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 1432 Difficult, Difficult, Difficult

In the exploration of vacuum zero-point energy, almost all distinctive technological civilizations follow this approach, viewing and exploring problems from the perspective of their own unique technologies.

Human civilization enters the microscopic higher dimensions through a third-person perspective, exploring new fields by plucking the strings of the universe.

The Divine Mole civilization explores vacuum zero-point energy through gravity-related physical phenomena, and it is said that they have even developed a creation experiment device with the support of their unique technology.

While the experimental device might seem like a small piece of equipment, the so-called creation experimental device of the Divine Mobility civilization was actually a colossal space behemoth.

To build this laboratory, they exhausted the resources of an entire planet, and the laboratory itself is as large as a planet.

And their laboratory, just like its name suggests, conducts creation experiments, which are experiments simulating the environment of the Big Bang.

They attempted to simulate the environment of the early universe in this way, then observe environmental changes, collect data, and thus find the operating mechanism of vacuum zero-point energy. Finally, they successfully mastered the method for large-scale extraction of vacuum zero-point energy.

The Galactic Heart civilization, on the other hand, started with tachyons. Using their unique understanding of tachyons, they extended their research into the tachyon world, employing exotic tachyons as an auxiliary tool. They also had another research project, which explored the topic from the perspective of time travel; these two research paths were being pursued simultaneously.

This is a unique phenomenon among the various distinctive technologies of the Silver Heart civilization, because they have two races.

As for the Falcon Civilization, as far as Yue Yuan knows, they are currently conducting various spacetime-tearing experiments in a region about a thousand light-years away from human civilization.

Yue Yuan had listened attentively to their feasibility study report. They were conducting various comparative experiments using their unique technologies as auxiliary tools. For example, they were investigating whether the restored spacetime after being torn apart behaved differently from the original spacetime in terms of the Casimir effect, and whether the zero-point energy of the vacuum would differ due to changes in spacetime.

Like humans, the Awakeners civilization uses a third-person observation mode as a research tool. However, unlike humans, they do not enter the microscopic higher dimensions to study target areas using strings as research points. Instead, they start their research from the realm of dreams and mental consciousness.

From the perspective of human civilization, the research approach of the Awakener Civilization may seem somewhat mystical, but for them, it is based on scientific principles that can be followed.

The research of the Daya and Feiyu civilizations seems to be closer to that of ordinary level six civilizations, which is probably because they have not made great strides in their own unique technological fields.

The Abyss Civilization and the Kroll Civilization were somewhat better. Like the Divine Moment Civilization and the Human Civilization, they all followed their own unique technological paths when researching vacuum zero-point energy.

So sometimes when people sit together and share information, there are some points of knowledge that they don't understand, especially when it comes to those unique technological civilizations explaining their exploration process from the perspective of their own unique technologies.

However, this did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm for communication, nor did they feel that there was anything wrong with the actions of a few distinctive technological civilizations, because all civilizations knew that vacuum zero-point energy was a hallmark of becoming a cosmic-level civilization, which meant that mastering vacuum zero-point energy was something that all civilizations possessed.

If a unique technological civilization truly succeeds in finding a way forward, then their research findings can certainly be verified by ordinary level-six civilizations using their own methods.

This is like everyone's goal being to climb from the foot of a mountain to the top. A technologically advanced civilization might take a helicopter to the top, while an ordinary civilization doesn't understand why airplanes can fly. However, they can have the civilization that successfully reached the top throw down a rope for the other to climb up.

Their process of following, or even climbing, is how they verify and master the entire process of zero-point energy in a vacuum using their own methods. They will grasp the underlying principles in this process. The power of technological civilization lies in mass production; once the principles are mastered, they can declare themselves to have reached the summit.

A typical Level 6 civilization believes that conventional methods will certainly work. So what are conventional methods?

That means we should start by exploring the simplest Casimir effect, and continue down this path that everyone knows how it works.

Continuously design experiments that may detect different phenomena, and conduct them one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million times.
We continuously improve our methods, constantly try and fail, gradually eliminating incorrect answers, and advancing step by step using the simplest and most direct exhaustive method.

For thousands of years, everyone has been doing it this way. This method must be effective, and we will definitely find a way that works.

The conventional approach will definitely work, because the Star Guardians have told all civilizations that even cosmic-level civilizations have their own unique technological civilizations.

Yue Yuan still remembered what the Star Defenders had said: Level 7 civilizations have unique technologies, but not just one type. Civilizations that have mastered the four fundamental forces and the ultimate applications of special fields such as time, space, and spirit are war-oriented civilizations with unique technological features.

Since cosmic-level civilizations have distinctive technological civilizations, there must also be ordinary cosmic-level civilizations, so the conventional route must be feasible.

In truth, if we weren't defenders of the stars, everyone would have been fooled by the theories of the paper-thin civilization. But thinking back, the paper-thin civilization's claim that only civilizations with unique technologies could succeed might not necessarily be a lie; perhaps they themselves simply didn't know.

Three months later, this science and technology development exchange meeting came to an end.

But Yue Yuan, who had just emerged from the virtual hall, was still immersed in the feeling that science had no limits. In particular, after listening to the research methods of those ordinary civilizations, he pondered there.

Exhaustive search, trial and error!
Keep trying and you will find the answer, but it will be a profound study that takes a long time. And just because this path works now and has always worked doesn't mean it can continue indefinitely.

Because cosmic-level civilizations are not the end; there are even more powerful god-level civilizations.

Advancing from a cosmic-level civilization to a god-level civilization through exhaustive exploration and trial and error is not guaranteed to succeed, because Yue Yuan knows that infinity is one of the universe's safe havens, which is infinitely large and infinitely small.

Perhaps it's because he's lived too long and likes to overthink things, but Yue Yuan has thought more than once that the hallmark of a Level 1 civilization is controlled nuclear fusion, a Level 2 civilization is cold and heavy nuclear fusion, a Level 3 civilization is true nanotechnology, a Level 4 civilization is the Grand Unified Theory, under which the annihilation of matter and antimatter is applied on a large scale, a Level 5 civilization is the Theory of Everything, under which negative matter and negative energy are applied on a large scale, and a Level 6 civilization is also under the framework of the Theory of Everything, further exploring and developing dark matter and dark antimatter as energy sources.

A Level 7 civilization, or a cosmic civilization, uses vacuum zero-point energy.

What about god-like civilizations?
Is it also a new energy source?

Based on all the information currently available, Yue Yuan felt that it might not be a new type of energy, but rather an unimaginable achievement like discovering a "cosmic safe."

Considering the current state of the universe, Yue Yuan felt that this speculation might be correct. After all, the rule barriers inside and outside the Great Void might be the work of a god-level civilization, and if so, god-level civilizations must be very rare.

After all, if one truly understands the "cosmic safe," then exhaustive methods of trial and error would inevitably fail.
