This gives atomic humans the ability to interfere with macroscopic matter to some extent without building nanoscale industries.

In addition to the replacement of atomic humans, a large number of sophons were also created.

The universe is vast, and unlike the Trisolaran civilization, humanity is not lacking in resources. We are fully capable of industrializing the production of trillions of sophons for exploration.

In addition to the significant improvements brought to atomic humans by the Sophon Project, the light speed curvature technology has also brought considerable improvements to atomic humans.

The acceleration of atomic humans still relies on the working fluid, but because it is small enough, it is not very difficult to reach near the speed of light. Changing direction is achieved by colliding with other matter.

These factors severely limit the freedom of human movement. If they enter a region with sparse matter, they cannot even change their direction of movement, because they need to collide with objects to change their direction of movement.

But now that light speed curvature technology has been successful, atomic humans can travel from low speeds to near the speed of light without the aid of any matter.

Of course, this will also create a dark zone with low light speed. The essence of light speed curvature is to flatten spacetime to gain forward momentum, transferring the demand for matter in motion to spacetime itself.

However, this dark area is only the size of a single iron atom, and its scale is extremely small. Even if it spreads, it would be difficult to detect. After all, in the vast universe, a region where the speed of light is slowed by 0.00000...01 seconds is simply too insignificant. On a macroscopic scale, the natural fluctuations of spacetime are much larger than this.

As the dark region expands, it gradually pulls the low speed of light within its range back to a horizontal value, instead of maintaining a low speed of light indefinitely. Time within the dark region also slows down due to the reduced speed of light, somewhat similar to the length contraction effect. The speed of light remains the same; it is only the observer's motion that causes the observed results to differ.

The original work's declaration of cosmic safety is essentially a declaration to the universe that it is giving up its own development. After all, if you slow down time to the point where one second is equal to a thousand years in the outside world, no matter how much technology explodes, it will definitely not explode.

The defensive aspect of the cosmic security statement only accounts for a very small proportion, because the speed of light is constant. The low speed of light is only relative to external observers. For people inside the dark zone, light particles moving at near the speed of light are still moving at near the speed of light.

If it were a direct reduction in the speed of light that has no relation to time, it would weaken the electromagnetic force, one of the four fundamental forces, thus increasing the Schwarzschild radius. As a result, even a very light atom would collapse into a black hole.

During the mass production of the Sophons, all the Atomic Humans were separated from a state of near-light speed of motion. The Sophons served as detectors, and the Atomic Humans had to make sure that the Sophons were ahead of them.

They established temporary bases in multiple star systems and continuously launched sophons for ten years. These sophons spread out in all directions at a speed much closer to the speed of light than atomic humans.

Many sophons have lost contact, and those widespread sophon blind spots have become invisible traps, hindering sophons' exploration of the universe.

But this is also something to be thankful for, because if atomic humans enter these sophon blind zones, their entangled state will also be lost. For them, blind zones are dangerous places, whether they are advanced civilization settlements, dark domains, or four-dimensional fragments.

Previously, security was always ensured by atomic submachines, but now these areas are being explored by sophons, like feeling one's way across a river by touching the stones.

Ten years later, the atomic humans once again embarked on a journey to leave the Milky Way.

Occasionally, atomic humans are assigned to low-speed scales, mostly because they come into contact with new alien civilizations. These civilizations vary in their technological level, some as advanced as the one we observed before that could even influence entangled states, while others have only reached the stage of using cold weapons.

Without exception, the coordinates of these civilizations were broadcast.

Chapter 323 Light Speed ​​Warp Planet Civilization

Humanity needs to understand more about the types of Black Forest attacks so that it has ways to deal with them in the future. Even if a non-existent strategy prevents humans from being targeted, the area-of-effect damage can still affect human safety to some extent.

Through these naturally occurring 'bait', humans can obtain the information they want effortlessly, such as the two-dimensional foil in the original work, which reduces three-dimensional space to two dimensions.

Another example is breaking all the molecular bonds within a region through boiling spacetime.

However, most of the time, hunters generally use light particle attacks. According to the observations of Atomic Humans, this may be directly related to economics, as light particle attacks are very 'cheap'.

Among the many destroyed civilizations, there is one that deserves the attention of atomic humans.

After their coordinates were broadcast, the civilization of the light-speed warp planet built a massive light-speed warp engine, transformed the entire planet into a light-speed spaceship, moved everyone underground to build an underground city, and escaped at the speed of light from their home planet.

Unlike the acceleration of working fluid, the curvature of light does not produce recoil. This means that planets will not be flattened and then reshaped due to acceleration, and underground cities do not need to worry about global mega-earthquakes.

Because of the emergence of this civilization, Lin Feng was once again subjected to a barrage of insults. They didn't insult him to his face, as that would be considered a personal attack and would result in being banned. So they secretly insulted him on social media platforms unknown to Lin Feng, using all sorts of sarcastic and sarcastic language.

These humans, who love Earth, are outraged by Lin Feng's forced implementation of the Sun Ascension Plan, which destroys the Earth.

At that time, although humanity did not yet have mature light speed warp technology, it had already reached the threshold. If Lin Feng could wait a little longer for the light speed warp technology to mature and build a planetary-level light speed warp spaceship, Earth would not have been destroyed. Not only could humans live, but other animals and plants on Earth could also live.

Humans are still humans, able to live in their homeland, instead of being reduced to mere atoms, drifting aimlessly in the universe like lost souls.

The group of Earth nostalgiaists is rapidly expanding exponentially. After all, many of them are native inhabitants of the solar system and it's impossible for them not to feel nostalgic for Earth and the solar system.

Lin Feng noticed this group, but he couldn't do anything about them for the time being because they wouldn't curse him to his face; they would only make sarcastic remarks when he couldn't hear them.

Because of this group, Lin Feng, who originally didn't care much about the civilization of the light-speed curvature planet, increased his attention to this civilization and had the Council of Ten issue a mission to track it down.

The other party possesses light-speed curvature technology, making tracking very difficult, but not entirely impossible.

The curvature of light will inevitably leave a trail, allowing atomic computers to track it every light-year as a unit of exploration, and they will eventually find it.

The most crucial point is that the other party is unaware of the existence of the Atomic Human tracker. They will not deliberately create disguises to deceive humans, which greatly reduces the difficulty of tracking.

After tracking for approximately 156 light-years, the atomic humans discovered the remains of a civilization on a planet with a light-speed curvature.

The planet is like a smashed egg, with two pieces of crust the size of Asia lifted up and floating in space. This is the smallest piece; the largest piece is equivalent to three times the area of ​​the Pacific Ocean.

You can see the Earth's core directly from the outside; it is exposed and shines brightly, like a small sun.

Atomic Humans did not continue broadcasting about this civilization, nor did this civilization stop its light speed curvature; instead, it continued to approach the speed of light, as can be seen from its flight path.

A massive track the size of a planet, stretching 156 light-years, continuously leaves its mark in spacetime when the light-speed warp drive is activated.

This result surprised Lin Feng. You see, in the original work, light-speed warp drive spaceships were directly linked to 'safety'. With this thing, although humanity could not reach the level of space hunters, it would not be so easy to be wiped out.

But the current reality has overturned Lin Feng's perception.

Lin Feng demanded that the cause of the destruction of the civilization on the planet with light-speed curvature be found.

During the research, some atomic beings quickly discovered that the mass of these debris objects was reduced by nearly one-tenth. In addition, sophons in other locations had observed objects moving at near the speed of light, and there had been a burst of high-energy rays in the direction of the debris objects. It was speculated that a weapon similar to light particles struck the planet and formed a miniature black hole, which then exerted a more powerful explosive destruction.

As for why a being moving at the speed of light can still be targeted, the reason may lie in its trajectory.

The trail was too large and too obvious, a dark area the size of a planet, stretching 156 light-years, which was already a Great Wall of Darkness.

On a more macroscopic scale, the speed of light is not that fast. Through real-time communication via quantum entanglement, the discovery of the trajectory can be communicated to other attacking units. By calculating the lead time, the position and time of the encounter between the light-speed attack and the target in the light speed curvature can be predicted, and the target moving at the speed of light can be struck.

This civilization on a planet with light-speed curvature might not have discovered that quantum entanglement can transmit information in real time, which is why it uses light-speed curvature so recklessly, constantly approaching the speed of light, instead of stopping the light-speed curvature engine after reaching near the speed of light.

Perhaps, in the eyes of this civilization, faster-than-light transmission of information is impossible, and the speed of light is the fastest speed for information transmission. Therefore, only they dare to use the speed of light curvature so recklessly.

Of course, some people believe that this was caused by internal strife, and that the civilization committed suicide by activating an accelerator to create a miniature black hole during the internal strife, and that the object moving at the speed of light may just be a particle of light that happened to pass by.

But Lin Feng believed the former more, because the curvature of the speed of light still could not escape the effect of length contraction, at least in this universe. The key is that they are still approaching the speed of light. They have traveled 156 light-years, which may only be a few minutes to the people on the planet. What kind of political system would start to fall into internal strife in just a few minutes?

Then create miniature black holes to self-destruct?

The destruction of the civilization on the planet with light-speed curvature once again thrust Lin Feng into the eye of the storm. The number of nostalgic voices has increased significantly. Many believe that the destruction of these civilizations was largely due to Lin Feng. They think that Lin Feng, enraged by the nostalgic voices' criticism of him, tried to leak information about this civilization to the hunters of the universe, using the hunters to destroy this pitiful civilization that had brought him such infamy.

Of course, these people still didn't dare to say these things to Lin Feng's face, and continued to hide in a corner and speak sarcastically.

Such people have never disappeared since the dawn of humanity.

In the foreseeable future, unless humanity completely changes its thought structure, it will not disappear.

Chapter 324 A Bold Idea

If you throw a galaxy into it, a large number of stars and planets will collide. After the humans at the center of the galaxy become atomized, society will initially be very dull.

Unfortunately, atomization is equivalent to smashing and recombining the original social structure, and the original biological nature of mankind is completely subverted. Therefore, atomized people can only communicate information, and have no other forms of entertainment.

Storytelling was once a common form of entertainment for humans in the early days of atomization, and later music and crosstalk gradually emerged.

Later on, there were purely dialogue-based TV series and movies, which included narration, background noise, and sounds from objects, in addition to the characters' voices.

This purely informational entertainment did not end until the first atomic humans who traveled to low-speed scales returned to near the speed of light.

These atomic humans, who regressed from a low-speed scale, edited an interactive system. Data from the atomic computers could be interpreted through this system, allowing image information to be deciphered from the information exchanged between the atomic computers.

People have no nostalgia for this entertainment model that only involves information. After all, images have a more direct impact on them than information. Moreover, the pure information exchange phase only lasts for five or six hours, which is too short to make people feel nostalgic.

But some people are exceptions, and Lin Feng is one of them.

He enjoyed this fleeting, purely informational entertainment because it kept him constantly aware that he was in a dark forest, a forest teeming with unknown dangers that could easily kill him.

Listening to the purely dialogue-based crosstalk, Lin Feng's thoughts drifted to a low-speed universe, floating to the extinct civilization of a light-speed warp planet.

The demise of this civilization had a significant impact on him.

It's important to know that in the original novel, a light-speed warp spaceship is like a lifesaver. According to Guan Yifan's description in the original novel, the biggest threat to a light-speed warp spaceship is the Dark Domain Trap.

The Dark Domain forcibly 'locks' the light-speed warp spaceship by slowing down the speed of light and slowing down time. Although the light-speed warp spaceship itself is still traveling at the speed of light, this speed of light is very slow relative to the normal spacetime outside the Dark Domain. By deploying a destructive attack outside the Dark Domain, such as a two-dimensional foil, the light-speed warp spaceship can be destroyed without any escape.

But Lin Feng never imagined that a light-speed warp spaceship could be killed in one blow while maintaining a constant speed relative to normal spacetime. In other words, his understanding that "it is safe to maintain a light-speed warp state before encountering a black domain trap" was overturned.

Looking back now, Lin Feng realizes that his understanding was wildly wrong.

Although all of Hessian's attack methods are still limited to the speed of light so far, this does not mean that light-speed attacks cannot threaten light-speed warp spaceships. The attacker can set up many attack points, and the point that receives the attack information from the light-speed warp spaceship will notify other attack points in front of the light-speed warp spaceship to launch attacks in advance.

If the upper limit of information transmission speed is only the speed of light, then maintaining a light-speed curvature state is indeed not a threat. Subsequent information cannot outrun a light-speed curvature spaceship, thus informing the forward strike point of a target to be attacked in advance.

Unfortunately, this universe has quantum entanglement real-time communication, a faster-than-light transmission technology. Information can indeed travel faster than light, so the point of attack ahead can launch a light-speed attack in advance.

If the civilization on the planet with light-speed curvature did not continuously activate its light-speed curvature engine, creating a dark space trail stretching 156 light-years, but instead shut down the engine after reaching near-light speed, then they would actually be safe. A single trail cannot indicate the exact location of the civilization on the planet with light-speed curvature.

The problem lies in the fact that the light speed curvature engine is constantly running, generating and spreading planet-sized dark space tracks. On a larger scale, its shape resembles an arrow, broadcasting the location of the light speed curvature planet to the entire universe.

Based on Guan Yifan's description in the original work, Lin Feng guessed that the civilization of the light-speed curvature planet was preparing to go to the end of the universe. As for why they wanted to go to the end of the universe, they might be tired of the competition in the dark forest, or they might want to witness the final moment of the universe, which is the idea of ​​'giving civilization to the ages'.

Of course, these are all just speculations. No one knows the specific reason. The Black Forest attack destroyed all the records of information of that planet's civilization. The high temperature melted even the stone, let alone carving words on it.

Unfortunately, the failure to develop a technology resulted in such destruction...

Lin Feng could understand this line of thinking. After all, the universe is a dark forest, and one of the foundations of the dark forest is the chain of suspicion. With the technology of transmitting information faster than light, everyone can communicate effectively in a timely manner, so wouldn't the chain of suspicion be easily broken?

Quantum entanglement real-time communication technology is essentially a reverse of the dark forest theory, and since the dark forest is prevalent in the universe, the Trisolaran civilization that developed quantum entanglement real-time communication technology is the truly 'abnormal' one.

Lin Feng recalled his past life. Although there was quantum entanglement, it was impossible to transmit effective information. The speed of light was still recognized as the fastest speed for information transmission.

"Fortunately, someone risked their life to tell me these things beforehand, otherwise who knows what would have happened." Lin Feng felt both grateful and terrified.

"However, since the curvature of light can be used on planets, then doesn't that mean..."

The enlightenment that the civilization of the light-speed curvature planet brought to Lin Feng was not only a correction of his cognition, but also pointed out many things.

If planets can move at the speed of light in a warp motion, can stars do the same?

If an entire star system were equipped with a light-speed warp drive, would we be able to create a star system capable of light-speed warp?

If celestial bodies like neutron stars and black holes collide with a light-speed warp drive, they should also be able to move at the speed of light, right?

If we expand this a bit further, what if we equipped all the celestial bodies in the entire Milky Way with light-speed warp drives? Would the entire Milky Way then be able to achieve light-speed warp drive?

What? What's the use of making these celestial bodies have a light-speed curvature? That would be incredibly useful.

Even if you use a dimensional reduction attack on a black hole, it won't work, because it's a zero-dimensional matter structure, and the universe can only be reduced to zero dimensions at most.

Aside from using dark regions to slow down the speed of light, there really aren't many things that can intercept black holes.

Then there are neutron stars. Their hardness goes without saying, and they constantly release terrifying pulse beams capable of boiling Earth's oceans.
