Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 879 A glance for ten thousand years

The conclusions drawn by philosophy experts who study cosmic sociology are not made out of thin air, but are deduced based on the theoretical progress that humans have made. In other words, the theoretical progress that humans have made is correct, and their inferences are likely to be correct as well.

Such a conclusion is undoubtedly very important. Although it cannot directly promote the development of science and technology, it points out many feasible paths for the future of mankind. It also allows humans to know where to go, where not to go, what information can be answered, and what not to do. It is a deeper understanding of the universe and cosmic society, just like when humans first knew the cruelty of the universe. It is knowledge that interstellar civilizations must master in order to survive in the universe.

Now, this conclusion, first of all, is to let humans understand the power of the fifth-level civilization. They may have mastered the technology of traveling through wormholes, or even created some wormholes. Then there is the interstellar gas station. For the fifth-level civilization, the gas added is negative energy. With this understanding, when humans reach the fifth-level civilization level in the future, they can take fewer detours and directly focus their scientific research on this aspect.

That is the technology of extracting negative energy from the negative energy field of a black hole.

And since it is a gas station, the negative energy extracted from the black hole's negative energy field must be easier than that produced by the fifth-level civilization itself. As far as current human cognition is concerned, the possible way to produce negative energy is the 'laser energy state' method, which is definitely not comparable to a celestial body.

And energy must be consumed when it is manufactured, just like the manufacture of antimatter must consume more energy than the energy contained in the manufactured antimatter itself. I don’t know whether negative energy, a strange energy, also follows this rule. It probably does.
After all, even modern humans cannot solve the problem of "process energy loss", and the overall entropy increase is irreversible, which is what the second law of thermodynamics says. Perpetual motion machines do not exist, so the same is certainly true for creating negative energy.

Through calculations, humans already know that the negative energy required to open a wormhole and stabilize it is actually not much, but it is only limited to the almost microscopic wormholes that theoretically exist in the laboratory. As for creating a wormhole through which a spacecraft can pass, the negative energy required is much greater.

Human scientists have previously said that this energy is too great, so space travel through wormholes is simply not possible. Even if a civilization can produce so much negative energy, it will still be a loss. It is better to travel at warp speed directly. There is really no need for this.

For this reason, people should be clear that the negative energy required for civilization to survive through wormhole travel is intangible, and now this idea has given this path a feasibility, which is the black hole gas station.

For a level-five civilization, black holes are a type of energy from which they extract negative energy, just as lower-level civilizations use stellar energy.

Energy! It can be said that it is a negative entropy field that exists naturally in the universe!

This means that the technology of a level five civilization must be centered around negative energy, including the planetary warp engine that humans have long known about, which is definitely a product of negative energy technology.

Level 38.941 civilizations use positive energy to drive warp engines. Even if they have studied and perfected their craft, they cannot break through the times light speed barrier. This is an open secret to humans. The scientific community knows that the Tianqin has the special technology plug-in of the pioneer, which is another matter.

And since there are special technologies that can break through this limit, it means that positive energy can still break through the limit, but it requires some technology that cannot be understood by the current level of civilization, or it requires an energy level that cannot be mastered by the current level of civilization.

The emergence of negative energy broke the cognitive limits of the fourth-level civilization, because that was another technology tree, a technology tree under the framework of the theory of everything.

It can be imagined that the space travel of those level five civilizations must use black holes as coordinates, sailing from one black hole here to another black hole outside the distant starry sky. Of course, it is not transmitted from the black hole, but a more advanced warp speed travel.

It is easy to imagine that a level-five civilization must have mastered a lot of information about the locations of black holes. Even at the moment of becoming a level-five civilization, the most important and necessary thing a civilization must do is to conduct large-scale detection of black holes in the universe.

Just like when low-level civilizations look up at the starry sky, they consciously look at the stars. Thinking about it, Yue Yuan couldn't help but lose his concentration, his thoughts seemed to float back to the Earth era, but his eyes were full of the bright stars.

The universe is vast and the stars are shining. When intelligent life looks up at the starry sky for the first time, the curiosity deep in its wisdom has already raised the sail of seeking knowledge.

And this first time that intelligent life looked up at the starry sky was on their home planet. For humans, this glance lasts for ten thousand years, a glance lasts for ten thousand years.

Now that we have reached the fifth level of civilization, when we look up at the starry sky again, we are not seeing stars, but black holes that seem to be the background of the universe.

The first-eye's spirit of seeking knowledge is enough to support the development of civilization to the fourth-level civilization, while the second-eye's spirit of seeking knowledge is necessary for civilization to step into a higher level. Without the exploration and pursuit of knowledge about the countless black holes in the starry sky, it will always be trapped at the fourth-level civilization.

And it is unknown how far this second black hole can support intelligent life. Maybe it can reach the sixth level of civilization, or maybe it cannot even reach that.

Because according to the current knowledge of human beings, the sign of a level 6 civilization is that they can master the technology tree related to dark matter and dark energy. Although dark matter covers the entire large gravitational zone, the densest place is undoubtedly the center of the Milky Way, because of gravity!

So does it mean that by then I will have to look up at the starry sky once more, which would be the third time.

The first time you look up at the starry sky, you see bright stars. The second time you look up at the starry sky, you see deep black holes. What about the third time? Is it that you see the vast nothingness?

Oh, universe, how many secrets do you have?

By the time Yue Yuan came back to his senses from being absent-minded, the meeting had already ended. However, he would definitely review the content of the meeting afterwards. After all, humans might really have to make changes from now on.

After searching for a natural wormhole for so long, there is still nothing to be found. If this continues, there is no telling when it will end. Yue Yuan was mentally prepared for this, but he did not expect it to be so far away. He did not expect that the obstacle to human progress is the endless search.

He believed that humans had the ability to master the theory of everything, but now humans are like a skilled cook without rice, unable to find a natural wormhole to study.

Yue Yuan thought that a level five civilization must have some kind of black hole and wormhole detection technology that is more convenient, more accurate, and has a wider range, because current human cosmic theories show that there are a lot of black holes in the universe. They are definitely not as many as stars, but they are definitely not as few as humans have observed so far.

The same is true for natural wormholes.

But humans have traveled thousands of light years and still haven't found any.
