Chapter 360 Goodbye Acquaintance
The "X-B125 star field" was recently designated as a no-fly zone by the "United Seekers" alliance, and all spaceships are prohibited from entering this star field. Only researchers approved by the alliance can go here to find out. The reason is that there are Serious unknown cosmic anomalies may cause danger to those who enter by mistake.
The alliance formed in the "Upper Trihelical Arm" is very stable overall, and the member civilizations are also very positive, but there will always be some conspiracy theorists who are used to spreading rumors and making troubles to express different opinions on this.
Some people think that the alliance is trying to cover up. They must have discovered huge benefits in this star field and are unwilling to share it with everyone, so they declare that there is a "serious abnormal phenomenon" here.
However, the alliance has been established for quite a long time at this time, and the member civilizations are almost connected to each other as a whole. This kind of public opinion was quelled without any waves, and only a very small number of explorers and space pirates will try to enter. That star field.
As for the "behind-the-scenes man" who caused this "abnormal star field", he is currently debugging an extremely large "super giant structure". reaction.
He is Li Wenyuan, and just a few months ago, he completely completed the "Pillar of Creation" that had been built for decades.
The "super megastructure", which spanned nearly 20 galaxies and was as long as 50 light-years away from the farthest point, finally started its official operation, and Li Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to survey a suitable galaxy group as the construction site of the "Pillars of Creation", he spent five years looking for the ideal galaxy.
The first requirement for the construction of the "Pillars of Creation" is a sufficiently stable celestial system. Any multi-star system is not acceptable, nor can it be special celestial bodies such as black holes and pulsars, which will interfere with the "Pillars of Creation." of the overall structure.
The second is that the group of galaxies selected as the construction site should not have too violent relative motion before. For example, a certain galaxy is approaching the central black hole at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per second, while another galaxy is moving faster. speed away.
Although the main body of the connection structure of the "Pillar of Creation" is in the subspace, according to the correspondence between the subspace and the position in the real universe, this mutual movement will also cause damage to the connection, and it may have to be carried out every once in a while. A major maintenance, such a "variable" that may cause a flameout at a critical moment is completely unacceptable to Li Wenyuan.
After searching for a long time, he couldn't find the ideal group of galaxies. As a last resort, he personally "obtained" some stars and planets by using subspace engineering, and after precise calculations and simulation experiments, he artificially constructed some celestial systems. Serve as the base of the "Pillars of Creation".
After a series of bumpy constructions, this huge interstellar project finally came to an end. Even the size of the "central processing unit" cannot be compared with this super giant structure.
This complete "Pillar of Creation" looks like a giant sea urchin from a macro perspective. The stars in each galaxy are surrounded by several rounds of huge ring worlds, and there are several rings of small ring worlds at the north and south levels of the stars. The ring gradually expands outward in layers, and seems to be channeling the energy of the star into one place.
No planets or asteroids will still exist in these celestial structures, and even the meteorites that are not in the gravity wells of these galaxies but may return to the galaxies have been targeted to prevent them from disrupting the stability of the galaxies .
The connection between these galaxies cannot be seen in the real universe. People who don’t know may think that this is a “group” of giant structures of the same type, rather than a “certain” giant structure.
But if you put the scene in the subspace into the real universe, you will find that this is a "cosmic sea urchin" covered with spikes, radiating in all directions.
A large part of this super giant structure is a "functional structure", which can be used alone even if it is separated from the core, but the influence on the laws of the universe will become very limited, and this "structural" is also the essence of the giant structure. feature, even if it occupies a very large area, it will still be called a "megastructure".
However, the energy consumed by such a giant structure is also a huge astronomical figure.
Those stars seem to be providing energy for the "Pillars of Creation", but in fact they are only the basic energy used to maintain the normal operation of the giant structure.
Modifying the laws of the universe is not something that can be changed just by saying it, which requires a huge amount of energy.
If he wants to activate the function of "Pillar of Creation" to modify the law, then Li Wenyuan needs to burn dozens of stars equivalent to the mass of the sun at one time to get the energy to activate once, and he can only do the simplest modifications .
"It's no wonder that the 'Recorder' still needs to apply when starting their so-called 'One of the Creations'... Such a 'star eater' is not easy for anyone to afford..."
The focus is not on the number of stars, but on how to transport those huge energy sources at one time.
It’s interesting to say that the multi-layer ring worlds surrounding stars in the “Pillars of Creation” are basically a kind of “battery ring world”.
There are only high-energy capacitors responsible for energy transmission and energy storage on it. Much of this universe is changing, and only energy is the eternal truth.
For this reason, Li Wenyuan also reserved a lot of supermassive stars in the subspace in advance to supply the "Pillars of Creation" to "burn".
"... How long has it been, I almost forgot the feeling of thinking about energy..."
He said with emotion, and then officially began to study how to use this giant structure to enter the "cage" galaxy.
He had experimented with the effect of the "Pillars of Creation" in the spiral galaxy where he is now, and the result was very satisfactory. There was a space of a star field that was stretched by five thousand light-years out of thin air in an instant, and this A simple "space size" modification cost him fifteen solar-mass stars.
This experiment ended in a very short time, and he didn't care about that star field anymore, but he didn't know that in the eyes of other civilizations in the spiral galaxy, the redshift of that star field had been elongated by a large amount out of thin air, just like It was those galaxies that suddenly moved faster than the speed of light in one second, and this speed was quite fast, much faster than their "hyperspace engines".
So that star field was listed as a control zone for "seriously unknown cosmic anomalies", and scientists from countless alliances flocked to this place.
Of course Li Wenyuan wouldn’t know about these things, but even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
At present, his focus is on the "cage" galaxy, and after some thinking, he activated the "Pillar of Creation" again, and began to give a small part of the huge space-time distortion area to try Return to normal curvature.
The frontal area of this part of the region he recovered is only the size of a molecular cross-section, but the length goes deep into the region, reaching the interior of the galaxy.
His purpose is not to send the spacecraft there, but just to observe the current situation inside the "cage" galaxy through this "gap".
He doesn't know the specific situation of "Hunter", so it's best to get as much information as possible before making a plan.
The space-time curvature of this "gap" quickly returned to normal, and photons could enter the interior normally, which also means that various "waves" can go deep into it.
However, Li Wenyuan immediately discovered that the curvature of the "gap" began to develop towards the original situation again, and it seemed to be gradually returning to the previous state.
For this reason, he had to continuously activate the "Pillar of Creation" to maintain the continuous opening of this "Gap Channel".
Finally, the detection wave that first entered the "cage" galaxy brought back a very interesting news.
There is a special life form in this galaxy, which is a group of life that has been assimilated by this dimension, but still maintains certain "high-dimensional" characteristics.
They have a unique high-dimensional weapon - "matter disintegrator", which can achieve the purpose of destruction by directly distorting the laws of physics.
This weapon will release a special signal, and this signal was detected by Li Wenyuan.
He knew what it was. If it wasn't for another batch of "Boundary Breakers" who came to this universe, then he had met an acquaintance.
Yes, those are the "naturalized" "Boundary Breakers" who left the galaxy long ago—or, should they be called "Silent Ones" now.
