Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 558 After Many Twists and Turns

The universe is turbulent. The awakeners, silicon-based consortiums, and harvesters are all busy because of the content broadcast by the Silver Heart Alliance.

In fact, it is not just them. Some ordinary level 6 civilizations that have detected the broadcast are also secretly paying attention to the starry sky, or coming out to explore, or realizing that something big may happen in the near future, and simply hiding in their own small universe.

In that dark starry sky, there are countless civilizations shuttling, but those civilizations are too advanced for humans to be discovered at all.

Therefore, the starry sky that humans see is still very quiet, and it is still a peaceful starry sky.

Now humans have given up looking for the remains of alien civilizations. After receiving the news from the Red Flame Civilization that there may be remains of alien civilizations in this star field, humans have tried hard to find them. Unfortunately, after thousands of years, nothing has been found.

Perseverance is a good virtue, but humans can't waste all their time looking for remains. Humans still have many important things to do, such as the new particle collider project, the sky survey telescope array project, and the Little Gray military version upgrade project and other large-scale projects at the civilization level.

Because of the communication delay, humans certainly cannot divide the entire civilization into many parts to disperse and search for the remains of alien civilizations. It is possible to let each strong artificial intelligence lead an exploration fleet to explore, but it also costs a lot of time and technology to create strong artificial intelligence. If you have the time to create so many strong artificial intelligences, it is better to use them to mine in various star systems and serve the new particle collider project in the future!

One is an experimental project that can be seen and at least verified for authenticity, and the other is the remains of alien civilizations that only have news but do not know whether they exist or not. Humans still know which is more important.

Of course, it is not impossible to send out one or two unmanned exploration teams led by strong artificial intelligence. In fact, when human civilization decided to find a star field with a relatively dense star to start the new particle collider project, it had already made this arrangement.

However, strong artificial intelligence is not life after all. Although it surpasses humans in many aspects, it is not omnipotent. Putting them in exploration is far less effective than engineering manufacturing, production and the like.

It's better than nothing. Before heading to the appropriate star field, humans put a strong artificial intelligence exploration team here to continue searching. Anyway, it will take a long time for humans to build a new particle collider, so they just let the strong artificial intelligence slowly search for stars one by one, maybe there will be surprises.

So, when the major level 6 civilizations were busy, humans entered the Great Hibernation peacefully and started the road to the predetermined star field.

The predetermined star field is about 200 light years away from where humans set sail. It will take about 300 to 400 years to calculate the voyage. However, interstellar navigation is not just about dividing the distance by the speed and adding the time dilation effect. It also takes time for mid-way replenishment.

The navigation technology of the level 3 civilization has not reached that level yet. Of course, hundreds of years of navigation are not a problem. Just stop a few more times for maintenance and replenishment of resources. There is no problem with navigation safety without human intervention.

Generally speaking, for such long-distance voyages, the new government will launch the Great Hibernation Plan, but this time it is not the case. The new government only issued a navigation schedule notice and opened hibernation permits for ordinary people.

During the voyage, whether ordinary people hibernate or not is entirely voluntary.

Now that human life span has increased, it can be said that they have a long life span. In this case, the question of whether to hibernate for hundreds of years or not is no longer the focus of people's attention.

And if only you hibernate and others do not, then you may face social adaptation syndrome after waking up from hibernation. For this reason, after the fleet set sail, even if the new government opened up hibernation, many people did not hibernate, but chose to live awake all the time.

Perhaps this will become the norm for human navigation in the future.

This is a good thing, but also a bad thing.

The good side is that humans can continue to develop during the voyage, instead of falling into a state of technological stagnation as before, and the bad side is that the navigation supply task is heavier.

Tens of billions of people plus the massive number of individual lives of the Chiyan civilization, as well as the dog-headed people army and the Kuntai people army, add up to more than 100 billion. It is also an astronomical figure to supply such a large number of intelligent life resources, and the logistical pressure is greater than ever before.

So that humans have to replenish one step at a time and slowly go to their destination.

Of course, humans did not waste this period of voyage. Most people were awake, and Yue Yuan and the scientists naturally had no reason to hibernate. After all, they still had important things to do.

As Yu Nanfeng said when the new particle collider was first proposed, in order to make this kind of high-energy particle collider with a length of astronomical units a reality, in addition to the biggest difficulty of the resources required for manufacturing, there are many problems that need to be overcome in the design and theoretical stages.

Since it has been decided to build it, these things must be solved in advance, otherwise it will be a big joke if the drawings are not finished before the construction starts.

The new particle collider is related to the key to human beings' search for the grand unified theory and promotion to the fourth-level civilization, and it has become the top priority of the preliminary preparations. Almost all relevant human scientists have participated in this project. Of course, not only human scientists, but also the scientist team of the Chiyan civilization has been included in the project system.

Humans will package the scientific problems that need to be solved in the project and assign them to the Chiyan civilization, so that their scientific team can participate in the project in the form of "outsourcing".

Work together to build a new particle collider.

In fact, the scientific team of the Chiyan civilization was also shocked when they learned that humans were going to build such a long collider. They did not expect that humans would be so crazy and really start such a suffocating project.

Of course, there is also an excitement about exploring the unknown.

Chiyan civilization is also a third-level civilization. As scientists of the Chiyan civilization, they also thought of many ways to master the grand unified theory, but they have worked hard for thousands of years, thought of countless ways, and made countless experimental attempts, but they have not been able to find a trace of the possibility of unifying the strong force.

And now, humans are starting this crazy plan that seems feasible in theory.

It has to be said that if it were in the Chiyan civilization, it would be impossible to promote such a project. That is, only human civilization with mature strong artificial intelligence technology is possible, and only with information can such a huge project be completed.

When the scientific team of the Red Flame civilization learned that humans were going to carry out this project, they felt that compared to the new collider project, the sky survey telescope array and the Little Gray military version upgrade project were all small projects.
