Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 936: Adley's Changes
The technology demonstrated by the fifth-level civilization on black holes is naturally self-evident, it is a negative energy extraction device.

Humans have long speculated that black holes are the gas stations of level five civilizations, and this was later confirmed by the Daya civilization. Unfortunately, the Daya civilization did not pass this technology to humans, or humans were unwilling to buy it.

Because the original condition of the Dayan civilization was that humans must exchange the materials and technology of the Lyra.

The two sides failed to reach an agreement for one reason or another, and generally speaking, they just couldn't trust each other.

However, humans are not discouraged. It would be great to buy it, but if they can't, they can just research it themselves. It's just a branch technology under the force field technology tree. Human scientists think it's just a matter of time.

Sure enough, after hundreds of years of hard work, the theories involved in this technology have gradually become clear and have now reached the demonstration stage.

A successful demonstration means that the relevant theories created by humans are self-consistent and in line with the laws of nature, and we can then enter the stage of moving from theory to scientific and technological creation experiments.

In fact, every scientific and technological achievement obtained by mankind is not achieved overnight. They all require a long period of research and accumulation. This is true even for the technology that all level five civilizations are predicted to master.

The various difficulties encountered in the research process also tell mankind that perhaps the so-called "what all level five civilizations should master" is not something that all level five civilizations can master, but is just a premise based on the theory of everything.

Just like in theory every country on Earth has the ability to land on the moon, because humanity shares the same basic scientific theories, but in reality only two countries have that capability.

Having said that, human civilization has been circling in the Perseus Arm for hundreds of years. It has not encountered any other civilizations, but has found a quiet black hole.

It's right on the Covenant Fleet's route, about three months away.

However, at this moment, a signal indicator light in the command center of the Tianqin suddenly lit up, and at the same time, a specially set up translation voice system sounded.

"Leader of human civilization, I'm Adli, can you stop for a moment? I found that I seem to be able to walk on my own, but when I tried to walk on my own, I found that your warp engines had some effect on me!"

Adley has been cooperating with the research since he left with humans. As a result, humans have learned his way of transmitting information, so they installed a communication device based on their habits on the Lyra.

After being analyzed and translated, the information sent by Adeli will become voice and text familiar to humans.

This is the normal way of communication between humans and Adeli. There is also a more special way of communication that requires humans to enter the third-person perspective and direct stream of consciousness.

Unless it is an emergency, normal communication methods are basically used.

"Have you learned warp speed travel?" Yue Yuan, who happened to be on duty at the command center, was looking at the planet on the holographic screen. That was where Adeli's body was, or it could be said to be its body.

"Ah! I think you can say that, but what I mean is not that I can warp, but I think I can get out!"

I don’t know if it’s because of the translation system or if Adeli is just like that, but he doesn’t express himself very clearly.

But Yue Yuan understood: "You mean, you can exist outside the biosphere?"

Adley showed a hint of excitement: "It seems that I know how to get out, so I want you to stop and turn off the warp engine and give it a try."

"Wait another three months!" Yue Yuan replied.

The conversation between Adeli and Yue Yuan was public, so after Adeli made his intentions clear, Yue Yuan could already feel the eyes of several scientists in the field of spiritual consciousness who were also on duty on the Lyra shining.

It was Adley who found a way to exist apart from the planet. This was something humans had tried before with other biosphere spacecraft but had failed. Now Adley actually said that he seemed to be able to do it. How could this not arouse curiosity?

Yue Yuan was actually very curious and looking forward to it, but now the fleet was only three months away from the target black hole. It was a bit ridiculous to stop just for Adley. Besides, it would be the same if they stopped once they arrived at the destination.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Adley didn't think too much about it.

He just felt that human civilization was trustworthy and had gotten along well with them for hundreds of years. It was a kind civilization and worthy of trust. Indeed, although human civilization had also massacred other alien civilizations, there were reasons for it, and compared to the Level 5 civilization that killed the Adeli civilization, it was indeed true that human civilization was kind.

In the interstellar era, three months passed quickly.

When the Covenant fleet gradually withdrew from warp speed, many scientific research spacecraft were already heading towards the black hole ahead.

At the same time, Adley finally waited until the human race's planetary warp engine was shut down.

"Adley, it's time to start."

Scientists in the field of human spiritual consciousness have been eagerly waiting. They have already deployed various consciousness detection equipment in advance to aim at Adeli, for fear of missing any details of Adeli's transformation.

Transporting Adli's planetary warp drive was accomplished by the cooperation of many ships, and evacuation was also quite simple.

"Okay, I'm going to start!"

Adley was very generous in allowing humans to observe and even gave a reminder before starting.

However, after the words fell, human detectors did not find any changes in Adeli, and the life fluctuations remained the same.

"No, there are changes, but they are very slow. Look, the detector is responding!" A scientist in the field of spiritual consciousness pointed at the data on the information synchronization screen.

Those detectors are improved versions of the Gaia life detectors, which were specially modified based on Adélie's situation, so they can detect Adélie's changes.

At the same time, scientists who used consciousness to connect to a third-person perspective to observe Adélie's changes also discovered this change.

They only felt that Adley's consciousness was becoming thicker and thicker, just like the thickness of a physical body.

"Hey, what is this?! Look, what is that? It seems a little weird!"

Everyone followed the direction of the voice and saw the person speaking looking at one of the images showing the surface of the planet Adeli.

The Adélie life form is quite special. Although it is a product of a Level 5 civilization experiment, it is more like the legendary Gaia life form. Humans have always regarded it as a semi-Gaia life form.

So when Adeli was transforming, most people's attention was focused on spiritual consciousness, and few people paid attention to the situation on the surface of the planet.

But at a glance, everyone understood why they said "something was wrong".

Something is definitely wrong.

Because they saw that the prosperous biosphere that represented the Adélie was withering, and although it was only the beginning, the situation was already obvious.

People saw that death was spreading on the planet Adélie. Animals that had been living well suddenly died without any warning. Whether they were large or small, flying in the sky or swimming in the sea, they all died without illness.

This is true for the entire planet's biosphere, and as the perspective switches to probes on the planet, people discover that even microorganisms are dying.

If microorganisms cannot escape the disaster either, it will not be a simple mass extinction of organisms, but a precursor to the disappearance of the entire biosphere.

"Adley! Adley, are you okay Adley!"

Seeing this situation, people are really worried that Adélie will die. After all, everyone knows that Adélie depends on the biosphere for its existence.
