There are endless galaxies in the universe, which are bright and gorgeous.
But in fact, once you set foot on it, you will find that every planet is full of desolation and loneliness, without the breath of life.
Just like when humans set foot on the moon, they found endless desolation and craters.
Even though the "Eternal Kingdom" has the ability to cross the stars, they have not found any other living planets after so many years...
The biggest problem is speed!
That's right, it's sailing speed.
Even if the "Eternal Kingdom" has mastered space technology and can open up and build dimensional spaces at will, and travel at speeds far exceeding the speed of light, it is still too slow on the scale of the universe and galaxies.
Eternal said: "In the cold and dark depths of the universe, only within the star system, with enough stable energy and light and heat, can there be a chance for life to be born."
As soon as she opens her mouth, she has a weathered feeling that can make people forget that she is an artificial intelligence.
"And when civilization develops to the extent that it can leave its home star, it will face a dilemma - speed."
"Before we left our home planet, we discovered the remains of civilizations from the previous era or even the era before that..."
"There are also some civilizations that have developed enough to escape the protection of their home planet..."
"But even if they master the technology of flying with photons, they can't do without the star system they are in..."
Photon flight?
When Hong Kang asked, he realized that it meant flying at the speed of light.
Eternity continued: "Because even if you can fly in the form of photons, not to mention the huge energy consumed, the flight time alone will take more than two years to reach the edge of the solar system..."
It sounds so incredible!
You know, the speed of light is theoretically and even the fastest speed in the known universe! ~
Such a comparison can help us understand the vastness of the solar system.
But the solar system, on the scale of the universe, is so small, as if dust and sand are compared to the vast ocean!
Hong Kang asked: "So, didn't civilizations in previous eras think about transforming other planets?"
“Making them habitable.”
Yongheng said: "As the scope of exploration of the universe expands, it is inevitable to start building a survival system outside the home star, but this will also depend on the supply of the home star."
"For example, Yinghuo Star, Suixing Star, Rising Star, etc., their planetary barriers have the handiwork of civilizations from previous eras."
"However, the sky remains unchanged and the earth remains unchanged."
"The energy required to pack a massive amount of materials, fly in the form of photons, and then transform the planet's environment is too huge..."
“Then they gave up the behavior because the gain was not worth the loss.”
Hong Kang understood what Eternal said.
The so-called "the sky remains unchanged and the earth remains unchanged" can be understood as the law of conservation of energy.
Eternity means that because the planets are too far apart, civilizations in previous eras had to carry materials and equipment to fly at the speed of light to transform the planets, which consumed too much energy.
By calculation, if you want to completely transform a planet, the most likely result is to make the mother planet barren.
Therefore, the plan to transform the planet was stopped.
Eternity continued: "Therefore, due to the lessons of prehistoric civilization, our ancestors began to study space technology and achieved certain results."
"Not to mention opening up space, we applied space technology to navigation and achieved a flight speed that is faster than the speed of light and consumes less energy. We named it - space speed."
Hong Kang perked up.
He knows, when it comes to the practical stuff.
…
…
"Our space technology has reached 0.018 light years per second!~"
One sentence shocked Hong Kang.
This speed may not feel special just by looking at the numbers, but as long as you compare it...
To leave the solar system, even light has to fly for more than two years, but the "eternal kingdom" only takes more than two minutes!
The difference is huge.
"However, when the last "catastrophe" was destroyed and we built the "Eternal Kingdom" and left the home star, it reached 0.016 light years per second..."
"In other words, over millions of years, our speed has only increased by 0.002 light-years per second..."
Hong Kang was surprised.
This difference——
However, he thought of the great catastrophe he saw in the eternal space. All the top wise men in the previous "catastrophe" perished, and only a few ordinary tribesmen escaped.
"They can't even reproduce Pangu particles, and they can't create the Pangu clan..."
"Then it's not incomprehensible that space technology is progressing at a snail's pace..."
Moreover, as long as any technology continues to be improved, the difficulty will increase exponentially as it goes on.
However, the universe is too big!
Vast, vast, vast... these words cannot describe it.
Is 0.018 light years per second very fast?
If it is only within one solar system, it is naturally enough.
But looking at the scale of the universe, the solar system is just a speck of dust in the Milky Way.
Space jump is faster than the speed of light!
Can be 0.018 light years per second,
This level of space speed only causes the "Eternal Kingdom" to fall into a larger space torrent...
On a cosmic scale, the "eternal realm" is like a flea.
Even if you keep jumping, how far can you jump? !
What's more, space jumping does consume less energy than pure light speed flight, but the size of the "Eternal Kingdom" is placed here, and if the entire civilization is to jump together, it will still consume terrifying energy and resources...
According to eternity.
There used to be many small planets in the solar system. They used them as fuel for three space jumps. As a result, they exhausted their resources, became wastelands, and even were destroyed.
Yongheng said: "The space technology you have mastered, Hong Kang, is very superb. Space is like a toy in your hands. Therefore, we hope that you can help us research faster space speeds."
"In exchange, I can give you complete permission to open the eternal space."
Hong Kang thought for a while and agreed.
"It's a deal."
In fact, the technology he most hoped to learn, the most advanced technological achievement of Eternal Civilization - Pangu Particles, has been lost.
However, by studying space acceleration, Hong Kang may have a new understanding of his own application of space power.
then.
Hong Kang and the space technology experts on the "Eternal Kingdom" began research on the topic of "Space Express Advancement".
Both sides have their advantages.
Scholars of Eternal Civilization have the advantage of longer and more detailed research. After all, Hong Kang is not even a fraction of the age of others.
Hong Kang’s advantage is that he is “well-informed”.
He has thoroughly understood the power of space rules in the Qiankun Pearl. Moreover, he has traveled through several worlds and compared the space constants in different worlds, gaining a deeper understanding.
At the same time, he also practiced [Huntian Baojian—Xuan Universe].
This is the perception of the heaven and earth by God Nuwa of the other big world, which includes the power of space in that world.
In addition, after being sublimated in the infinite world, it is like an oven, integrating Hong Kang's own rules and understanding into one...
Once the two parties cooperated, they immediately felt like a fish in water and became even more powerful.
In addition, the database of eternal space is completely open, and all the difficulties in the subject of [Space Express Advancement] have been overcome one by one.
In this process, the wisdom of both parties collided, and their thoughts converged... Hong Kang could feel that his spatial attainments were slowly improving.
Knowledge can induce wisdom and is the key to opening the door to wisdom, but it does not mean wisdom.
Because wisdom exists not only in knowledge, but also in the ability to use knowledge.
Years pass by, time is like running water.
If you are addicted to one thing, everything around you will pass quickly.
Ten years, thirty years, seventy years, one hundred and fifty years...
More than six hundred years later.
This day.
"We succeeded?!
"Some people were surprised and couldn't believe it.
"It's successful, and it has reached the current technical limit..."
"Thanks to Mr. Hong Kang..."
"That's right! In just over 600 years, we have improved by 0.003 light years per second...!"
Some people marveled.
Compared with the previous tens of millions of years, it has only increased by 0.002 light-years per second. This is simply a miracle!
