Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 1442 Dawn of Victory

However, we haven't reached the point of utter desperation yet.

Two major expeditionary organizations and 84 civilizations have almost accomplished all the prerequisites for finding the correct answer, yet even so, the research work remains incredibly difficult.

But they were not discouraged.

Once you embark on your long voyage, there is no turning back.

In fact, all civilizations that have come this far have not made no progress; at least they have gone from "absolutely impossible" to "possible."

And all the work done over the past 100,000 years can be summarized as "finding that possibility".

Perhaps it was the trial and error, the exhaustive method that worked, that finally, 110,000 years after the desperate measures were taken, everyone saw the first glimmer of victory.

The source of the dawn is that the Awakener civilization obtained a set of energy reactions far exceeding those of previous experiments during a membrane collision experiment.

The Awakener civilization called it a great success, believing it to be the energy reaction that should occur with vacuum zero-point energy, consistent with the predictions of the vacuum zero-point energy theory.

The news of the Awakener Civilization was like a ray of dawn in the darkness, exciting scientists from all civilizations. In response, the various civilizations quickly convened an exchange meeting, where the Awakener Civilization shared its experiments.

After the meeting, a large number of civilizations replicated the experiment according to the methods provided by the Awakener civilization.

If they can also obtain the same results as the Awakener civilization, then it proves that the Awakener civilization is correct, because the results can be replicated and are in line with science.

Unfortunately, the Awakener civilization's experiments relied heavily on their own observational methods, and no civilization other than human civilization could directly replicate the Awakener civilization's experiments.

However, it is not entirely impossible, but they would need to use other detection methods instead, which is not easy. They would need to invent unprecedented instruments and then use abstract and invisible methods to verify the results.

It was difficult, but all civilizations knew they had to achieve it.

Because just a few years after the Awakener Civilization released its data, human civilization announced that it had successfully replicated the experiment, and that the energy response parameters were consistent with the results of the Awakener Civilization's experiment.

This can truly be described as a single stone stirring up a thousand waves.

The fact that it can be replicated means the result is correct, and that result most likely contains the correct answer. Following this path might lead to a way to truly master the zero-point energy of the vacuum.

Even more encouraging is that less than a thousand years after the successful experiment using the method of the Awakener, human civilization has put forward a brand new theory, which is to successfully replicate the experiment again from the perspective of cosmic strings by plucking strings.

At the same time, human civilization also provided details on the manifestations of microscopic high-dimensional space during the occurrence of experimental phenomena, and described in detail the string vibration phenomena in microscopic high-dimensional space when energy reactions occur for each civilization.

Unfortunately, because it involves too many technologies unique to human civilization, virtually no civilization can understand it.

But this is enough to excite everyone, because many civilizations believe that human civilization and the awakener civilization have already "dug a hole in the technological barrier of a level seven civilization" from different angles, and have already glimpsed the scene on the other side of the wall, and are not far from success.

As long as one civilization succeeds, everyone will inevitably rise to prominence along with it; how could this not be exhilarating?

However, no civilization wants to advance by receiving handouts after others have succeeded. Instead, they want to advance through their own efforts, using their own methods, or methods that any ordinary level-six civilization can use. This is the true universal path.

Of course, the progress of human civilization and the Awakener civilization is certainly valuable for reference. Immediately after their progress, many civilizations began to think in reverse or conduct various analogical experiments based on their successful data.

The two great voyages, involving 84 civilizations, have officially entered a new phase due to the initial success of the Awakener Civilization and the Human Civilization.

Over the next 50,000 years, the Divine Cube civilization successfully replicated the Awakener civilization's experiments, and what's most exciting is that they used conventional methods.

The Divine Ju civilization initially started from the perspective of gravity, hoping to find the same answer by taking a different approach through its unique expertise in gravity. Who would have thought that as they went in this direction, they would come up with a new theory.

It is not a theory of gravity, but a theory of energy.

They believe that energy is inherent in the universe and simply exists as it is. All the energy we see is actually a transformation of the inherent energy of the universe. From the forces between particles to the gravitational and electromagnetic forces on a cosmic scale, all are manifestations of the inherent energy of the universe.

That inherent energy of the universe is the zero-point energy of the vacuum.

So how is vacuum zero-point energy converted into other forms of energy?

At a research progress exchange meeting, the Divine Ju civilization told all other civilizations that it was because the universe was in motion.

Vacuum zero-point energy is omnipresent, like an energy field spreading throughout the universe, a boiling ocean of vacuum quantum fluctuations, with endless random quantum jumps keeping that ocean vibrant. In this context, the movement of the universe is like a machine as large as the universe itself, performing a motion of "cutting magnetic field lines."

In this motion, energy is transformed from vacuum zero-point energy into various manifestations, such as gravity through the mass effect and the strong force through the quark confinement effect.

The expansion of the universe, the distortion of spacetime, and the curvature of spacetime are all results of the dynamic universe and the vacuum quantum energy field that permeates the entire universe.

Vacuum zero-point energy, or vacuum quantum fluctuations, is the source of all this.

At the symposium, the Divine Mobility Civilization told all civilizations that this "cosmic movement" was not movement in the conventional sense, but rather the result of the interaction of time and space.

The so-called "cutting magnetic field lines" should actually be understood as the universe moving along a timeline that is constantly extending in a vector.

The new theory provides a way forward for all civilizations.

Now, they truly saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

Although all civilizations, including the Divine Curve civilization, knew that this theory was imperfect, since it was imperfect, they would improve it and continue to exhaustively search until they found the correct answer.

After the Divine Curve civilization proposed this theory, almost all scientists believed that as long as it was perfected, the correct answer could then be found through exhaustive search.

Of course, finding the answer doesn't end the story.

Because all scientists understand that after finding the answer, the problem of "borrowing and returning" still needs to be solved, which is the final step in using vacuum zero-point energy.

Theoretically, zero-point vacuum energy is borrowed from the universe. It's like paying back a debt; you borrow and you repay. But if you have to repay it, then it's meaningless.

None of the civilizations wanted to repay their debts, so after seeing a glimmer of hope, many civilizations' research teams were already proactively studying how to "become deadbeats."
