Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 1572 A Sudden Turn of Events

In the time that followed, the four civilizations made no further progress in the technology of proportional spatial scaling; there was absolutely no progress.

This situation persisted for several centuries, and gradually, scientists had to admit that this was the best result that could be achieved through the joint efforts of the four civilizations.

Although the size requirement still cannot be met in pixel space, there is nothing that can be done.

Of course, although the proportional scaling technology did not achieve the expected results and could not help the four civilizations explore the pixel space, from another perspective, it could shrink large objects to the size of an embroidery needle.

Putting aside the issue of entering pixel space, this level of technology is already considered groundbreaking.

Thanks to the research results of these years, things like the "Ruyi Jingu Bang" can indeed be made, and the immortal cultivation weapons that everyone imagines, such as flying swords that can be enlarged or shrunk, can also be made.

If we were to master quantum form technology and its derivative technologies, then the transformations of the Heavenly Stars and Earthly Fiends would truly be under human control.

"There's no need for you all to worry too much. What can we do if our technology isn't up to par and we can't get in? If there really is any opportunity inside, it can only be left to the 'destined ones.' They're probably a race with exceptional talent in 'spatial scaling technology.' Perhaps they've already achieved 'spatial scaling technology' similar to what we have now in a Level 6 civilization," said the Awakener, Huan, whose body remained in the form of a human female, at the final technology exchange meeting.

Another Awakener, existing in the form of an individual life form of the Silver Heart Civilization, followed up on what Awakener Illusion had said: "That's right, I think it's time for us to give up. Although we haven't achieved our ultimate goal, we have mastered many related technologies, we just haven't researched them to the ultimate level. There's no need for everyone to dwell on it. There's an old saying in human civilization, 'A loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise,' and we are now the old man in the story."

The leader of the Silverheart Civilization looked at the Awakener who had spoken, thinking he was seeing things. He couldn't believe he was seeing a Silverheart person opposite him. So he blinked his four eyes and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, Awakener, this is a bit unfair of you. You actually let the system map our forms onto you. Don't you have your own forms?"

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Yue Yuan with his four bright, sparkling eyes. The meaning was clear: Look, that Awakener Huan is actually using the form of your human civilization. We are now on the same side. Do you want to say something to them?
Yue Yuan understood the Silverheart Civilization leader's expression, but before he could say anything, the Awakener Huan nodded to the Silverheart Civilization leader and said, "Yes, wearing the cloak for too long is a bit stuffy. Let the system use your forms to get some fresh air, okay?"

Yue Yuan: "Okay!"

The leader of the Silverheart civilization paused for a moment, then said, "Uh, okay."

Yue Yuan understood that the Awakener, Huan, did not want the Silver Heart Civilization to know that this was an application of quantum morphology technology.

It wasn't that the Awakener was afraid the Silverheart Civilization would find out, but rather that she didn't want the Silverheart Civilization to be affected by her development path, and wanted them to continue evolving along their own path.

Just like how she hasn't spoken out until humanity has mastered quantum morphology technology.

The leader of the Silver Heart Civilization, unsuspecting, waved his tiny hand and said, "Alright then, let's get back to the point. We also think it's time to leave. We've stayed in this star field for too long. Even though it's far from the area where the Ruins Returners and Rebooters appeared, there's an old saying in human civilization: 'A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall.' It's time for us to leave."

The leader of the Daya civilization said, "We fully agree with the views of human civilization."

Upon hearing this, the other three civilizations in the virtual hall all looked over, because humanity hadn't expressed any opinion at all.

To agree without even expressing an opinion is truly unbelievable. This level of opportunism is so outrageous that even the leader of the Silver Heart Civilization is speechless. Yue Yuan completely ignored the leader of the Daya Civilization and said, "Then let's retreat. There's no point in staying here any longer. As for where to go, Star Guardian, do you have any opinions?"

The Star Defender, unusually serious, replied, "Let's go through the super stargate at the end of the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall. It leads to more distant star systems. At this stage, it's best for us to stay away from the areas where the Ruins Returners and Rebooters are active."

When Yue Yuan asked the Starry Sky Defender for his opinion, it wasn't just that he genuinely wanted his advice, but also that he was testing him.

In fact, after the Star Defenders said that there were traces left by the Dayan Civilization in this area, and after encountering this pixel space, Yue Yuan had been wondering in his heart whether the Dayan Civilization was manipulating everything behind the scenes, whether the Dayan Civilization wanted the four civilizations to enter the pixel space to explore, and then arrange the future path for these four civilizations.

But now that everyone has decided to leave, the Star Guardian hasn't said anything to encourage them to stay and continue exploring the pixel space.

Does that mean that none of this was arranged by the Dayan civilization?

"That can't be it," Yue Yuan asked himself in his heart. "No matter how powerful the Dayan civilization is, it couldn't have foreseen this!"

The Star Guardians offered no explanation, and the decision to leave was made. Although everyone still had regrets, they all had to leave the conference room and return to their own civilizations to prepare for their departure.

However, Yue Yuan, who had already given up hope, had just left the virtual meeting hall when he received a message from the School of Physics.

Yue Yuan immediately opened the message and found that it was sent by the scientific team that participated in the research and construction of the Dream Lyra. It said that there had been a new breakthrough in the research on the Calabi-Yau manifold type of the Dream Lyra itself.

A new breakthrough?
Yue Yuan was taken aback. Since the completion of the Dream Lyre, he had not paid much attention to the follow-up research, but he had not forgotten about this aspect of research.

So as soon as he received the news, he rushed to the Academy of Sciences. Although he could directly extract information from the database, scientists often do not upload new things they have researched directly to the database before they have been verified. Therefore, to understand the progress of the entire project, it is best to go to the Academy of Sciences for on-site investigation.

The new breakthrough was undoubtedly good news. Yue Yuan took it as a way to dilute the negative emotions caused by the failure of the proportional scaling technology to meet expectations. He also drifted towards the Academy of Sciences with this mindset.

But the moment he stepped into the Academy of Sciences, he felt that something was off, because he saw that all the scientists and researchers were beaming with joy.

Logically speaking, the Lyra Dream is already so powerful that any new breakthrough would be nothing more than a small step forward, so there's no need to be so happy.

Before he could speak, a scientist approaching him excitedly exclaimed, "Commander Yue, we did it! The Dream Lyra can now enter pixel space!"

? !
What?
Yue Yuan was taken aback.

He didn't recall this scientific team being involved in the space proportional compression technology research project!

So, what's going on here?
