Chapter 2870 New Engine
When civilization enters the speed of light, old cognition will be broken and new cognition will be established. When the time scale is no longer the same, the vicissitudes of life and the end of the world are no longer just vows, but real realities that will happen, so civilizations that enter the speed of light must learn not to be attached to external things.
Finally, with the blessing of the dinosaur people's technology, the earth has recovered, including the farms of fever microorganisms and light moss. The next step is to connect the dinosaur belt and install engines on the belt.
In order to save costs, after intense discussions, the dinosaur belt was reused. Although there are still many beast-like dinosaur people on it, it is not a problem to clean it up slowly with development.
Although the beast-like dinosaur people are very strong, they are flesh and blood after all, and cannot fight against steel and superpowers.
Finally, after intensive experiments and hard construction, it took 150 years for the new earth and the dinosaur belt to be connected together, and the curvature engine has been installed.
"This time humans will go further."
The wandering plan originally planned to fly to Proxima Centauri in two thousand years, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. Now a new plan is born, and humans will wander with the earth to the depths of the universe.
The strong interaction material connects the earth and the ring belt, and also serves as a buffer material to withstand curvature acceleration. Macro Atom has built a solid shell for the raw material, just in case.
Although the curvature engine accelerates all the materials on a rubber band in one direction, there will be no collision at all, but it may still encounter collisions when decelerating and leaving the speed of light. In short, it is safer to put on a shell.
"Start the final correction of the orbit. All units should pay attention and stay at their posts. The first test run of the curvature engine is about to begin." As the notice was issued to the world, the era of the full ring belt and the speed of light is about to begin.
"The engine preheating program is turned on."
"The gravity monitoring program is turned on."
"There is no abnormality in the strong interaction link."
"There is no abnormality in the index of each unit, and the personnel are ready." Everyone must wear special buffer armor for protection. Although experiments have been done, this is the first time for such a large-scale flight.
But according to the data of more than a dozen experiments, light speed travel is actually very safe, so these safeguards are just in case, not necessary.
"The curvature orbit calculation is complete, the value has not changed, and the test run can begin."
"Received, the main control room enters a thirty-second countdown, thirty, twenty-nine..."
The scientists in the virtual conference room were also very nervous. They had never experienced light-speed flight in their own universe, but they could get what they wanted here. As the countdown came to an end, everyone's eyes looked up and looked at the universe. In a while, they would leave this starry sky behind and go to the edge of the universe detected by humans.
The universe is so vast and the earth is so small. Humans are like a country built on the horns of a snail. They should put aside their struggles and explore the endless deep space.
"...Three, two, one, the curvature engine starts."
As the engine started, the entire space twisted, and everything in the area where the earth was located seemed to be pulled by a rubber band and accelerated rapidly. The internal force of the cosmic tension was completely converted into the acceleration energy of the matter in the area, making the speed of the earth directly exceed the speed of light.
Two hundred years ago, humans were still wandering slowly, but today they have directly entered a new era. Humans do not feel uncomfortable, and there is not even any abnormal acceleration, because the entire space is accelerating, and humans and the surrounding space remain relatively still, so the whole process is as smooth as silk, more comfortable than any flight.
Entering the speed of light, human time becomes slow, and the time scale becomes different.
When they leave the speed of light, humans will find that the starry sky will become a little strange, because in their one flight, hundreds of years have passed in the universe outside. If they fly farther, thousands of years may have passed in the universe. It really feels like one day in the sky and one year on the ground.
The curvature engine is safe and magical. When the earth comes to the edge of the known universe, of course this is not the real edge, but the limit of observation. There is a wider universe outside.
The universe is so big that even the curvature engine cannot directly see the edge.
"Faced with such a vast and boundless universe, how can we truly complete the exploration?" Scientists from different universes are asking questions, because it is the first time they can really fly freely in the universe, so they have to face a problem, how to explore the universe?
Just one planet can be explored for a long time, and now there is an entire universe. It can be said that life is limited, but knowledge is unlimited. How can exploration allow humans to develop?
At this time, we should listen to the opinions of the dinosaurs: "In fact, the great god civilization we contacted will not explore the outside world, but accept tribute. Only when they are interested will they set out to explore. Because the universe is really too big, even the great god civilization cannot fully explore it, so they will first find a few civilizations that have not entered the speed of light, let the low-end civilization explore the universe, and the great god civilization will concentrate on studying its own things."
Humans said that the great god civilization is helpless? But if the low-end civilization is really allowed to explore, many dinosaurs will destroy the earth.
"It is true. The great civilizations will basically not take action, but the low-end civilizations will fight each other fiercely. Because the resource acquisition rate of low-end civilizations is lower and it is more difficult to obtain resources, the fight will be more tragic. Don't you humans have an old saying called: There are many turtles in a shallow pond? It comes from the phenomenon that small countries fight each other because they don't have enough resources."
Before the Earth wandered, many small countries with insufficient resources fought fiercely and always cleared out the former president. This is completely traditional, because small countries have had few resources since ancient times, and once they came to power, they had to suppress their opponents.
And some small countries that rely on selling resources to survive do not have this situation, because they have many resources and don't need to rob at all.
The same is true in the universe. The lower the civilization, the more intense the competition. As a strong low-end civilization, the dinosaurs also face the situation of sailing against the current and retreating if they don't advance.
In short, every family has its own difficulties, and every civilization has its own contradictions. The dinosaurs used to be a low-end civilization that paid tribute. Now that they have entered the speed of light, they think they can also establish a tribute system. They don't need to do research themselves, but rely on a large number of low-end civilizations as thugs. As for the wars between low-end civilizations, there is nothing we can do about it. Even if there is no great civilization, low-end civilizations will still fight for resources.
If there are not enough resources, wars will inevitably occur.
Humans proposed an idea: "Can't we let more civilizations join the light speed family?"
"Yes. But there is a problem. If the civilization that joins is strong enough, then after obtaining technology, they can find a corner to establish their own business. If this civilization is weak, then they will probably suck blood when they join. We dinosaurs recognize you humans because humans are very motivated and have enough courage to dare to go to war with us. If you only fancy the technology of dinosaurs and just want to suck blood, then we will not form an alliance with you." The dinosaurs recognized humans because they had a war, and humans showed the resilience of cosmic survival.
But many civilizations do not have this resilience. They are just muddling along and have no way to sacrifice themselves.
So if they join in, they may be independent if they are too strong, and they may suck blood directly if they are too weak. They may not be willing to explore the universe and develop an alliance together.
The dinosaurs have seen many civilizations and know that they cannot establish an alliance relationship just by giving technology. Otherwise, the great civilization would have done so long ago. The reason they didn't do so is because the idea was too idealistic.
