It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 396 The locked space is the subspace (sure
It is undeniable that——

The better the living conditions, the more developed the times you live in…

The more bizarre people's ideas are, the more bizarre their brain circuits seem to be...

After all, after crossing many different parallel worlds and seeing many various "if" line possibilities, Bao Shi Weng couldn't help but have many feelings in his heart and gradually understood this truth.

Even in the 21st century, when computer and network technologies have advanced rapidly and ushered people into the information age, people have inevitably developed various abstract cultures.

They will emerge like mushrooms after a rain and quickly become important cultural symbols of the era.

Therefore, for the world now——

The human race stepped into the sea of stars, and through etherization and long-distance interstellar travel, their footprints covered countless light years, and they set foot in various star clusters and realms...

It is conceivable that in this era, people's thoughts and behaviors must have undergone earth-shaking changes.

They no longer have to worry about material wealth and enjoyment, but are more concerned with spiritual fulfillment and pursuit.

Their lifestyles, values, and perceptions of the world are certainly very different from those of traditional humans in the old days.

It is really hard to describe the Bao Shi Weng in words.

He also did not expect that himself, an outdated old man, could truly understand the abstract thinking and expression of people of this era.

Even the other person and the “person” in one’s own perception…

In fact, it can be said that they are no longer a species...

This is not an exaggeration, but a clear division that can be made in the field of biology.

All we can say is that they experienced the ancient natural evolution and then defined the next stage of evolution with their wisdom and technology.

To some extent, they can probably be considered aliens.

If we don't look into its essence, it is still the inheritance and extension of the concept of "human race".

Then... even a being like Bao Shi Weng would find it difficult to contact and communicate with them so smoothly.

In this situation.

Knowing this truth, the second magician felt that these two guys were too casual, unreliable and abstract.

But in the end, I held my nose and reluctantly accepted this reality.

After all, in the current situation, he couldn't find any better options for the time being.

"very good……"

"The information has been uploaded, Mr. Zelrich, and your personal photo will be arranged as soon as possible..."

After completing the registration, the smile on the young man's face became more intense, and there was a barely perceptible excitement in his voice.

"No, thank you..."

The magician sighed deeply.

"You're really welcome. Like I said before, this is a team benefit!" The other party shook his head and explained enthusiastically. His words revealed a firmness that could not be refused, and he almost patted his chest to make the promise.

"Thank you so much, but you really don't need it..."

Bao Shi Weng really didn't want to dwell on this, so he forcibly dragged the topic back to the topic -

"Tell me what you said before. How long will it take us to reach the next star region?"

Although he was changing the subject, his tone revealed an eagerness, and he was obviously looking forward to the new journey that was about to begin.

Staying in this desolate and ruined former solar system is not a good option. The environment here is harsh, resources are scarce, and it is obvious that there are no useful clues to be found.

The only wise thing to do is to leave this dead land as soon as possible, enter the star region that is truly governed by the intellectual civilization, and embrace the great era stage of this glorious galaxy.

So the old magician was quite concerned about this and did not hide his urgency.

Anyway, his current character is an "ascendant" from another world, isn't this natural?

"Oh, this..."

The young man sat down in front of the chair and glanced at the holographic projection that had switched to star map mode.

"The closest star to us is the Alpha Centauri system, which is 4.2 light years away..."

"Nanmen II? Is that the next star region?" Bao Shiweng's heart trembled slightly, as this name was not unfamiliar to him.

——4.2 light years away…

——It should be the Proxima b that is said to be more suitable for human colonization...

So it seems that the star map pattern itself has not changed much?
The outline of the Canghui Milky Way seemed to gradually become clear in Bao Shiweng's mind, as if the familiar yet unfamiliar Milky Way was being redrawn, or as if the two were originally integrated.

But let’s put this aside for now. The most important thing at the moment is Proxima b.

Although the distance of 4.2 light years is awe-inspiring, it is not a distance at all for tiny individual lives on the scale of the universe.

From this point of view, it is completely reasonable to say that the star system of Alpha Centauri is a relatively close "neighbor" of the solar system.

As a close neighbor...

Then we should know more or less what happened in the solar system, right?

At least there, the hope of finding clues is undoubtedly much greater than blind exploration.

And there is another question worth pondering. If the stars on this side of the solar system have entered the red giant stage, then what is the situation of the stars on the Alpha Centauri side?
This is undoubtedly an excellent control group. By comparing the conditions of both parties, more valuable information can be obtained.

Bao Shi Weng's thoughts flashed like lightning, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. He became more and more convinced that the next destination was a very good choice, satisfying multiple needs at once.

however--

"No, although it was a very prosperous star region in the past, that was a long time ago. Its development potential has long been exhausted, and the planets there have been abandoned one by one by the Interstellar United Government..."

The young man answered honestly, directly drawing the magician's attention back to the cold reality.

"..."

"..."

Sure enough it's not that simple.

The magician took a deep breath, and felt that his journey was long and arduous. "Then what are we going there for?"

The young man answered without hesitation: "Because there is a star gate that is still in operation. We can go through it. Otherwise, it is impossible to fly over slowly..."

Even this real spacecraft can, under normal circumstances, carry out long-distance interstellar travel at sub-light speeds.

However, even at this speed, it seems so small and powerless in front of the vast Milky Way.

For a long journey between stars, it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, hyperspace jump technology came into being.

It allows spacecraft to travel across vast distances of hundreds or thousands of light years in an instant. It can be said that the popularization and application of this technology is the key to the expansion of civilization into the galaxy.

"Wait, you... don't you have that jump drive on your spaceship?"

The magician thought about it and it seemed that this guy had mentioned this kind of thing when he was bragging and trying to get him to join his gang.

It was said to be a groundbreaking technological marvel.

It can shatter the local space-time continuum and reorganize it into a state exactly the same as the target location at the quantum level, allowing the ship to complete an inter-galactic "jump" in an instant.

Their starships are masterpieces equipped with such high-end engines, and in theory they can also achieve this incredible "jump".

——Is it false advertising? The old man wondered in his heart. He had just joined this team, was he going to face the embarrassing situation of having his team benefits cut?

"Yes, there is, but this place is too remote..."

The young man seemed to see the old man's doubts and explained with a slightly unnatural expression.

"Unless it is the most advanced jump engine, it is impossible to leave here with a single hyperspace jump..."

"For most spaceships, hyperspace jumps cannot be performed continuously. The engines need to be recharged..."

He continued to explain, his voice gradually becoming awkward, "And we just happened to have already jumped once before, so we are now in the energy charging and cooling stage..."

"..."

"..."

Ok……

Bao Shi Weng waved his hands: "Then this is the only way. We can only go through that star gate?"

——Star Gate.

—It’s some kind of interstellar megastructure, an engineering marvel.

They do not exist independently, but are huge structures widely scattered throughout the galaxy, consisting of a network of interconnected "gates".

Because it is possible to create a channel that travels through closed space, a spacecraft can be teleported from one star gate to another star gate thousands or even tens of thousands of light years away in an instant.

"In other words, this is actually the main mode of travel in the galaxy, like an interstellar highway?"

After listening to the explanation, the second magician felt that he roughly understood it, and concluded thoughtfully:

"And the spacecraft's own jump technology, although equally amazing, is more suitable for movement within a specific small range, showing a more flexible way of use?"

"But then again-"

"What is that 'locked space'?"

"..."

"..."

"I have no idea--"

The two people opposite looked at each other, then spread their hands and gave a high-quality answer.

"It could be a crack in a dimensional fault or something, but so far it's just academic speculation because there's no physical way to get in..."

"So, it is like an untouchable fog. It is impossible to observe it, and we cannot get any accurate data or stable parameters."

One of them said slowly, adding: "Naturally, there is no way to conclude what it is."

"..."

"..."

The entire space fell into silence.

Only the stars are twinkling outside the window, as if telling the mysteries and unknowns of the universe.

Although he felt that he had heard a lot of shocking things, at this moment, Bao Shi Weng was shocked again.

This experienced old man, who remained calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai, couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "Wait, how did you build your star gate? Could it be that you didn't build it?"

"It wasn't like that in the first place, we all know that..."

The young man coughed lightly.

"The stargate network that is spread throughout the Blue Glow Milky Way was created by the information integration thought entity in the SOS cluster and the wide-area cosmic existence in the sky canopy area..."

"We don't know why, but it is said that a long time ago, the two did cooperate briefly, but now they are once again in a state of opposition..."

The companion next to him also added: "It is for this reason that some people speculate that these two may have come from the closed space themselves."

"Whether it is an information-integrated thought entity or a wide-area cosmic existence, it is the manifestation of the contradictions in the inner world of an unknown goddess..."

"It was the manifestation of the goddess's desire for destruction that created the situation where the two are constantly fighting and confronting each other. Only in this way can they vent their emotions and prevent the world from being truly destroyed..."

"..."

"..."

Bao Shi Weng was listening attentively, and subconsciously asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Because although there is no physical means of entering the closed space, people can occasionally touch its edge on a spiritual level..."

The young man explained it enthusiastically, as if he had studied it specially and spoke in a very clear and concise manner.

"So, as time went by, some scholars boldly speculated that this closed space might be a dimension that runs parallel to the material world and is constructed from pure spiritual energy..."

"But what kind of emotions and thoughts can gather such a huge amount of energy and create a parallel realm that is comparable to the material world..."

"The answer is obvious—"

At the end, the young man suddenly raised his voice: "Isn't it!"

"Ignore him. He always gets angry occasionally when he talks about something that excites him..."

The companion next to him coughed lightly and summarized: "But that's basically it."

"Through dreams, divination, or other unknown means, we can occasionally catch a glimpse of that fleeting realm..."

"The closed space is always portrayed as dark and strange, with chaotic existences that seem to wantonly destroy the reflection of the real world, like a nightmare in the mirror."

"All of this is indeed very likely a subspace formed by the externalization of a god's mental pressure."

"..."

"..."

Bao Shi Weng remained silent.

Although the other party spoke cautiously, most of the words he used were modified with words like "maybe", which meant they were not so certain.

But considering that this is the "common sense" of people in this era, it is inevitable that some shocking things will be revealed in it.

--very good.

——At least I know what a terrifying concept god-level power is in this glorious galaxy.

The magician decided to first discard all the shameful impressions of the gods that he had formed in his mind.

He briefly reviewed the new information he had obtained.

gods...

Information integration thought body...

The wide-band universe exists...

The stargate webway left behind by an unknown pioneer race in the galaxy...

The subspace called the locked space is described as dark, strange, and filled with chaotic existences...

——emmmmm, I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that this style of painting seems a bit weird.
