Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 871 Passing by
Yue Yuan then asked Zheng Jiuyuan about some related matters. Yi Kai was also listening nearby, occasionally missing a sentence or two. The three of them talked for more than an hour before going back to deal with their own work.

After the two left, Yue Yuan called Manyuemei again and asked her to arrange the Star Alliance's patrol rotation. He then discussed the future direction of mankind with the headquarters think tank and officials from various departments. The final conclusion was to look for possible natural wormholes.

Regarding this aspect, humans certainly don't know the direction, so the so-called search is just wandering around. Of course, we should try our best to do what we can, such as increasing the batches and intensity of detection spacecraft, and letting the fleet exit the warp state every once in a while, and then let the telescope array observe the starry sky.

In short, humans will use every method they can think of. After all, the top priority now is to find a natural wormhole.

This is actually very difficult, because in the current human cosmological theory, the manifestation of natural wormholes may be different from that of black holes. It may not exhibit extremely strong gravitational effects like black holes, so it is very difficult to find. Humans don’t even know where to start.

Of course, there are also some scientists who believe that the current human cosmological theory is wrong. They believe that the external manifestation of natural wormholes may not be much different from black holes, and humans should not look for them blindly, but use gravitational lens observation to find them.
That is to say, we need to find black holes and then conduct field investigations. Perhaps a celestial body that humans think is a black hole may actually be a natural wormhole.

Scientists are refusing to give in to the two opinions, but the second view has too little data support, so many of their voices are not that confident.

Humanity as a whole certainly cannot change direction just because of a different point of view, so now and even for a long time to come, humanity will still search according to the first method.

So time passed as the fleet stopped and went. One year, two years, three years, thirty years, and then half a century passed. The Star Alliance fleet led by humans was already very far away from the Deep Blue Star, but the search strategy that was originally formulated still did not yield any findings.

There is no other sound in the universe except the noise of various types of pulsars. It is so quiet that humans have discovered nothing.

Scientists' expectations have turned into disappointments time and time again. Humanity's array of sky survey telescopes conducts a scanning observation of the starry sky every once in a while, and then many scientists from many departments will analyze the results of the observations and scans, trying to find possible strange phenomena in the universe.

As long as some unexpected observations are discovered, the Star Alliance fleet led by humans will immediately turn around and set sail to explore the star regions where strange universes may exist.

But even so, humans are still disappointed in their expectations time and time again. Over the years, humans have discovered possible strange cosmic phenomena, but when they arrived at the place, they found that it was not. Either the observation data was wrong, or the place was simply nothing special.

Human beings just went further and further away, or maybe the word far can no longer be used to describe it, because human beings had no fixed place to live, and hundreds of years passed by in a hurry.

Humans found themselves at the top of the Milky Way's flat disk, which is also in the middle and rear section of the Perseus spiral arm. There are no more stars to go up. Going up is definitely not an option, so the remaining options are to either continue to go to the end of the Perseus spiral arm or go to the center of the Milky Way.

Humans were not so bold, so they chose to continue to move forward to the end of the cantilever. So after replenishing some resources in one of the star systems, humans continued to sail far away. This time, the strategy of the human route was not to sail at warp speed for hundreds of light years before stopping to replenish and then continue, but to sail at warp speed for a hundred light years, then exit the warp speed, and then accelerate with conventional power, so that the entire fleet reached a certain speed and then floated at a constant speed.

And try to maintain this regular uniform speed route for as much time as possible.

The purpose of doing so is obvious, that is, to allow humans to observe the starry sky for a longer time and more accurately. After all, if the fleet is in a warp-speed state, the sky survey telescope array cannot observe the starry sky, which will be distorted due to the distortion of the warp bubble.

Then again, human civilization can also stay in a certain star system, developing resources to build Dyson clouds while observing the starry sky. In fact, humans did this before, but every time they stayed in a star system for a period of time, Yue Yuan always felt uneasy, not knowing whether it was psychological factors, and always felt that staying in a star system for too long would cause trouble. He always felt that being in a star system was like being in the sun, with a feeling that the enemy was in the dark and I was in the light. He always felt that one day he would suddenly detect a fleet from the depths of the universe coming to his docking place to meet him.

Therefore, human civilization changed its strategy after that and put the observation state into a state of uniform wandering among the stars. Now Yue Yuan felt much more comfortable and no longer had that feeling.

In fact, it was not that Yue Yuan had any telepathy, he was just worrying about nothing. He thought too much and had experienced something like this before. He often thought of the scene of his encounter with Kuntai civilization that year, and he began to think in this direction unconsciously. This was a kind of persecution delusion.

However, his paranoia saved humanity once without anyone noticing, but no one knew about it, and he himself was not aware of it.

About three hundred light years after humans left the star system where they were docked, this star welcomed its second guest since its birth. They were three level five civilization exploration spacecraft, which looked exactly like the one that humans had destroyed before.

It was obviously the level five civilization of the Perseus Trade Federation. After the three spaceships explored this galaxy, they found traces of humans staying here.

It's not that humans have lost a screw, but they have discovered traces of development on the rocky planets outside the star system. Of course, they only know that a civilization has been here, and can roughly judge the approximate technological level of the civilization that developed the resources, but they don't know which civilization it is.

It is actually not difficult to judge the level of science and technology. It can be seen from the situation of resource mining areas. To sum it up in one sentence, a civilization will make corresponding movements depending on its level of science and technology.

Just like a level 4 civilization, they are likely to use star destroyers to destroy asteroids in the process of resource mining to facilitate the acquisition of various minerals, while a level 3 civilization does not have this ability. Therefore, if such a situation is discovered, it can be judged that the other party is a level 4 civilization.
