Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 1602 Entropy Element

As for what happens after we discuss the news, then naturally we should take it into consideration.

Although humanity has developed technologies such as quantum life forms in life sciences, even so, their lifespan cannot compare to that of stars.

Yue Yuan, and even the scientific teams of the Yinxin, Daya, and Awakener civilizations who are now silently hiding on public communication channels, all want to know how to achieve a lifespan comparable to that of a star, or even to obtain eternal life.

Although the four-dimensional life form theory states that if the children of the universe do not progress after birth, they will gradually die of old age, they still possess a lifespan like that of a star, even without progress.

Just like that remnant in the Milky Way back then, if he hadn't been killed by the electronic warship, living for over 10 billion years in his star form would have been a piece of cake.

That said, after all these years, the four-dimensional life form has recovered with the help of humans and is now traveling through the void with humans, Daya, the Awakeners, and the Star Guardians. This voyage has no destination, only a direction.

After leaving the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall through the Da Yan Civilization Super Stargate, the policy everyone set was to continue the Great Voyage, heading in the direction away from the Milky Way, in order to find a way to become a god-level civilization on the Great Voyage.

Thus, the current void travel came into being.

Throughout their long voyage, the four technological civilizations also continuously engaged in scientific research, innovated technological applications, and improved their overall strength.

Of course, there are also times when people get together to exchange ideas, like we are doing now.

"Of course they made something. Otherwise, why do you think they captured so many of our individual life forms?" the four-dimensional life form said silently.

It is both a rhetorical question and an answer.

"Tell me more?" Starry Sky Defender chimed in.

The four-dimensional life form did not react to the stress, but pondered quietly for a moment: "Alas, at the beginning, we did not pay attention, and almost no one could have imagined that the group of insects would actually succeed. They actually found the secret of 'life feeding on negative entropy' from our many individual life forms through repeated experiments and years of experimental results."

"Before I was captured by them, I heard that the insects had something they obtained by referencing our way of life called anti-entropy element, which is similar to your current anti-entropy factor, but it is more effective. It is something that can give the individual insects a lifespan of billions of years. As long as there is a continuous input of negative entropy, the individual life that has been modified by anti-entropy element can have such a long lifespan."

"I've forgotten what that civilization was called. After all, in my time, there was actually more than one civilization that possessed the technology to create anti-entropy elements. But it was precisely because there was more than one that I later heard they started fighting each other."

"Oh? A fight broke out?" Yue Yuan seemed to have caught something and pressed, "Could you tell me more about the anti-entropy element?"

“Yes!” the four-dimensional life form continued in the public communication channel: “Some insects have mastered the technology to produce anti-entropy element, while others do not, so they fight each other. There’s nothing strange about that; that’s just how insects are.”

After a pause, the four-dimensional life form continued, "However, it was precisely because of their war that the anti-entropy element spread widely. From the perspective of the insects, it also provided many research samples for the insects that were born later."

"You have to understand that those civilizations that had the technology to produce anti-entropy element back then did not just produce a little anti-entropy element, but were manufacturing it on a large scale, and had already formed an industrial chain, and even had interstellar trade."

"As far as I know, the interstellar trade of those insectoids back then had even spread to the level of lower-level civilizations. That was probably when they were most united, actually allowing such high-end anti-entropy element to circulate among lower-level civilizations. Well, of course, this is just information I received from other beings; I don't know the specifics of how those insectoids used anti-entropy element." Hearing this, Yue Yuan suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Wait, you mean anti-entropy element fell into the hands of lower-level civilizations?"

He heard it clearly, and his repeated questioning seemed somewhat unbelievable because he had considered a possibility.

The four-dimensional life form responded, "Yes, according to the background at the time, those things should have flowed into the hands of those low-level insects from the so-called black market. Unfortunately, the insects later had internal conflicts and fought each other, making the world dark."

"Actually, if they had started fighting amongst themselves earlier, we, the children of the universe, would still have had a chance to turn the tide. Unfortunately, at that time, we were either killed or captured, and we had no power to resist. After that, I don't know what happened."

I don't know what happened after that, but he must have been arrested.

Yue Yuan stopped provoking the four-dimensional beings' sensitive nerves, because he felt that he had found a clue to the anti-entropy factor.

Or rather, it is the anti-entropy element.

According to the four-dimensional life form, the anti-entropy factor manufacturing technology of many subsequent technological civilizations may have come from the research on anti-entropy elements, so they created anti-entropy factors that are somewhat lower in level than anti-entropy elements.

It is also possible that the research focuses on individuals modified by anti-entropy elements, or that some related anti-entropy element technologies have been passed down through civilization relics or other means.

As for the outcome of that internal conflict among technological civilizations back then, if Yue Yuan's guess is correct, it must have resulted in the annihilation of countless civilizations, with the surviving technological civilizations either fleeing, hiding, or going into hiding.

As a result of the internal strife and chaos among technological civilizations, anti-entropy elements were carried to various parts of the universe by various fleeing civilizations.

Thinking of this, Yue Yuan took a deep breath and asked the four-dimensional life form again, "Do you know what anti-entropy element is like?"

"That thing was obtained through studying our children of the universe, of course I know it," the four-dimensional life form thought to itself, then said somewhat speechlessly, "a kind of red gaseous substance."

"Well, to your current visual perception, it should be scarlet."

Seemingly aware that humans had altered his visual perception, the four-dimensional life form thoughtfully added a comment, but Yue Yuan could no longer hear it.

Because his mind is now filled with "a red, gaseous substance".

Based on the historical background described by the four-dimensional life form, Yue Yuan is now certain that there is a 90% probability that the red gas he inhaled on Europa was the anti-entropy element mentioned by the four-dimensional life form.

"That must be it!" Yue Yuan muttered to himself. "That must be it. No wonder I haven't shown any signs of aging. So that's why. That thing is the so-called anti-entropy element!"
