Chapter 568: Movements of All Parties

People cannot foresee what their final outcome will be. Their birth, growth, hopes and fears, love and faith are nothing more than the result of the accidental combination of atoms; fire, heroism, strong thoughts or feelings cannot be immortal; all labor, dedication, inspiration, the brilliance of human genius are destined to disappear in the extinction of the solar system; all human achievements will be buried in the debris and ruins of the universe - all of this is far from being free from controversy, but it is so close to certain that no philosophy against them can be expected to be established. Only within the framework of these facts, only on the solid foundation of utter despair, can the home of the soul be safely built.

This is a passage written by Russell in 1923. Limited by the technological constraints of his time, he had mastered sufficient knowledge about stellar evolution until the solar system would evolve into a red giant, and he came to this conclusion.

Indeed, without controlled nuclear fusion, Russell's words will become a reality.

Extending Russell's "utter despair" of the death of the solar system to the death of the universe, we can see how desperate the civilization that knows the end of the universe is.

Just as the rhombus crystal said at the time, the pioneers spent a billion years just to prove that they could not break through the shackles of cosmic civilization in the Milky Way. The great voyage that appeared in the end was a struggle in despair.

The same is true for humans now. Thousands of years of wandering, thousands of years of hard work, and thousands of years of diligent research have all failed. All the ways people can think of to find the formula of the grand unified theory have failed. The only thing they can grasp is this project that will take more than a thousand years to mobilize the power of the entire civilization.

Humans are also not sure whether they can master the grand unified formula with it after it is built, just like when the pioneers started the great voyage, they were not sure whether they could master the shackles of cosmic civilization after reaching their destination.

That was the only possible way in despair, and humans burst out with full enthusiasm.

Except for the truly fallen civilizations in the universe, every civilization is climbing to a higher level. Even if there is little hope, no civilization has given up. It’s just that each civilization has different ways of effort and rules of conduct.

Human morality of good and evil does not apply to all civilizations. The same is true for the moral standards of other civilizations. It is just the concept of good and evil formed based on their race and has nothing to do with the universe.

Perhaps some people think that Yue Yuan's attitude towards civilizations such as Kuntai, Nair, Gnoll and Chiyan is very evil, but from Yue Yuan's perspective, he does not think so. On the contrary, sometimes he even thinks that he is too kind.

He does not think that his attitude towards these civilizations is wrong, nor does he think that his attitude towards advanced civilizations is problematic. This is the universe, not a world under the same racial moral framework. Equal dialogue requires equal strength.

Or wait until one day when humans have the ability to formulate the moral norms of the Milky Way civilization.

As time goes by, the new particle collider of mankind is like a bee building a nest, taking shape bit by bit. Its prototype is like a space miracle project, gradually reflected in people's minds.

At the same time, somewhere on the edge of the Milky Way

The stars here are sparse and the starlight is dim. From this position, it is obvious that the center of the silver disk is a flat structure, bright in the middle and dim on both sides, like a fluorescent embellishment in the dark starry sky. At this moment, the Milky Way really looks like a long river with brilliant light, dividing the dark cosmic background into two, and there are also spots of light with different spectra next to it, which is really spectacular.

For observers, the brilliant galactic center is a scene from 60,000 years ago, but for the photons that travel from the galactic center to here, they do not consume time to reach this place from the galactic center, but arrive as soon as they set out.

Time is never absolute.

Obviously, this position is far away from the galactic center, but it is still in the eye area of ​​the galactic center's 1,000 light-year galactic disk surface thickness, otherwise the Milky Way from this unknown is not a flat galaxy.

However, the shape of the Milky Way at this moment is also different from what humans usually observe. It is brighter, but smaller. If you measure it, you will find that the width of the galactic disk is less than 100,000 light years.

It's not that the Milky Way has changed, but the perspective is different. The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy. Obviously, this perspective is to look from the two ends of the barred spiral galaxy from a distance, rather than observing among the stars in the Milky Way like humans.

There is nothing in this star field. Even the nearest star is thousands of light years away from here. Beyond that, there is nothing in the vast void.

If it were normal, there would be no civilization visiting such a place. Even the gravitational waves caused by the collision of planets in the Milky Way would be very weak when transmitted here. But now, there are obvious ripples of space-time caused by warp travel.

More than a dozen warp engines that do not even have the appearance of warships or spaceships crossed the void and rushed here at 213 times the speed of light. After arriving in this star field, they emerged from the warp bubble that wrapped them like fish in the water, and then quietly hovered in the void.

There are ruts when braking suddenly, and ripples when speedboats stop suddenly. The same is true for these warp engine-like creations. They are speeding all the way and leaving traces in the space that is invisible to the naked eye. Their sudden stops also create gravitational waves.

This space-time that has been peaceful for many years has welcomed such obvious unnatural gravitational waves for the first time.

"The Remainer!"

After more than a dozen warp engines stopped, there was a surge of metal, and then the original warp engines disappeared, replaced by things of various shapes.

Some looked like a certain device, some turned into a huge warship, and some turned into a shape that looked like a certain weapon. After these things appeared, a space gravitational wave with obvious identification signals was swaying in the void not far from them.

The sixth-level civilizations in the Milky Way seemed to know the signal form that could be recognized by each other. This signal was exactly the same as the signal form broadcast by the Galactic Heart Alliance before.

"The opportunity to eliminate the Reapers has appeared. A civilization from an extragalactic galaxy has come to our Milky Way, and the Reapers have begun to act. The Galactic Heart Alliance has persuaded a sixth-level Zerg civilization, a true Gaia consciousness, and the Perseus Community. With you and us, this time we will definitely be able to completely eliminate the Reapers and restore the Milky Way to a bright and clear world."

The gravitational wave signal was transmitted in time and space.

Obviously, the one who came here was the Silicon-based Federation that had a head-on collision with the Galactic Heart Alliance at that time. There is no more deformation technology like theirs in the Milky Way.
