Chapter seven hundred and eighty eighth fire of hope
Just like the gravitational constant and the curvature constant, the speed of light C is also a constant. The many constants in the universe are like threads, which together form the big web of the universe. In this big web, every thread is
It is very important, just like a sweater. As long as you find a thread and keep pulling it out, the sweater can be completely destroyed.
There is also a mathematical logical relationship between constants. Normally, one constant can be used to infer another constant. Just like the gravitational constant, the speed of light can be inferred from the gravitational constant. Therefore, a change in a single constant is not
What may happen is that if one constant is changed, it will cause a chain reaction, causing all other constants to be changed, and ultimately leading to the destruction of the entire universe.
In other words, it will eventually lead to the rebirth of the universe. One thing is certain, if the constants are changed, then the universe will definitely evolve into something completely different from what it is now, and all current physical laws will become invalid.
This question was quickly thought of by the scientists of the Shenzhou civilization, so another scientist asked: "Have the other constants been changed?"
The scientist who came in to report replied: "No, the other constants have not changed. Only the speed of light in vacuum has been changed. Before coming, I have comprehensively analyzed the other trillions of data."
The scientist's answer once again caused an uproar. This is a very incredible thing. It is as absurd as if you originally had two apples, and then someone gave you two more apples, but in the end you ended up with a total of two apples.
It's the same as having only three apples.
This will cause inconsistency in mathematics. Mathematics is the most rigorous natural science and does not allow for any error.
Think about it, when the gravitational constant is determined, the speed of light calculated from the gravitational constant is inconsistent with the actual observation? How absurd is this?
Seeing that all the scientists below were discussing and the command hall was in chaos, Ares frowned slightly. He was a politician, not a scientist. He didn't care how serious the matter of changing the speed of light was.
Of great scientific significance, he only cares about whether this matter will bring benefits or harm to his own civilization.
Ares looked at Ruto, the genius who occupied the position of chief scientist of the Shenzhou civilization after Xu Junpo's death. "Ruto, what's going on?"
Ruto was looking down and thinking. After hearing Ares's voice, Ruto shook his head in confusion: "I don't know. I have never had this concept in my mind. In different media, the speed of light is indeed
For example, the speed of light propagating in hydrogen gas is different from the speed of propagating in water. However, the speed of light propagating in each medium is certain, and the speed of light propagating in hydrogen gas is constant. In
The speed of propagation in a vacuum is also constant. Frankly speaking, I don't know what's going on."
"What's your guess?" Ares asked again.
Ruto frowned again and said: "Constants are the basic building blocks of our universe. Every change of a constant will cause catastrophic consequences. But now it seems that the change of the speed of light has no impact on us. So.
Based on this, it can be inferred that there is a great being who changed the speed of light. While the speed of light was changed, he used his own power to maintain the other constants unchanged. This is a power that involves the most fundamental mystery of the universe. This kind of
Power is beyond our current reach.”
"And..." Ruto continued thinking, "The speed of light returned to normal after only being changed for an instant. Our universe did not collapse, which may have something to do with it. After all, it only lasts a few hundred thousandths of a second. This
time is too short."
"In other words, the impact is unknown. How the incident happened is unknown, and what happened is also unknown. We don't know anything, right?" Ares asked.
"Frankly speaking, that's the case." Ruto replied, "We are only a level six civilization after all, and there are too many unknown things in the universe. Maybe a certain super civilization just made it out of boredom.
Something like this—who knew?”
"Very good, then stop discussing this issue at the scientific level. If the Central Academy of Sciences is interested, you can apply for related projects after the war ends, and the Social Committee will allocate relevant resources for you to conduct research." Aris said lightly: "
I need to know why the Neutron Battle Star changed in volume at that moment, and what kind of damage this volume change will cause to the Neutron Battle Star, and whether it will have any impact on our battle situation."
Ruto replied: "The speed of light is the upper limit of speed. Except for the almost cheating method of curvature navigation to avoid the speed of light limit, any other conventional movement speed will not be higher than the speed of light. This is true for electromagnetic waves, gravitational fields, etc."
I speculate that the moment the speed of light is reduced, the propagation speed of gravity is also reduced at the same time. The neutron battle star is mainly controlled by gravity to maintain such a form of existence. It is precisely because of the change in the propagation speed of gravity that it will
There is a change in volume. As for the impact..."
Ruto pondered for a moment and continued: "According to the neutron star model, changes of this degree will have little impact on the neutron star. It is just like us experiencing a second-level earthquake while standing on the planet. In addition to psychological fear,
There will not be any impact on the outside world. Of course, we may be able to use this influence to achieve some strategic goals, which requires you to plan."
"I understand." Ares nodded and looked at the display screen again.
Time is slipping away quietly, and hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, the scope of the twisted space has been continuously shrinking. The change of the speed of light is like an episode, and there is no
It had a great impact on the battle between the two civilizations. After leaving the twisted space, the Neutron Battle Star seemed to realize that the change in the speed of light was just an accidental event, so after a slight adjustment, it continued to attack the twisted space.
violent attack.
The situation of the Shenzhou civilization is not very good. In fact, the fact that it has been able to survive until now is due to Ares's outstanding command ability. If there are the same resources, let Xiao Yu command the battle against the sweeper civilization.
At that time, Xiao Yu may not be able to do as well as Ares.
The neutron battle star once again violently rushed into the twisted space. One year, two years, and a full hundred years have passed, and the neutron battle star has not been sent out again by the Shenzhou civilization. The transformation of the distorted space
It was so fast that it was dizzying to see, and various lights and shadows were changing very quickly, but it was still unable to have a significant impact on the neutron battle star.
The neutron battle star has been advancing slowly. Every time it advances, the space will be shattered like glass, and then it will be swept away by the violent space turbulence and disappear. At this time, there is no conventional warship that can
Approaching the neutron battle star, any conventional battleship that tries to approach here will be torn apart by the violent space. Even stellar-class battleships cannot withstand the violent energy here.
Even the neutron battle star is constantly being damaged. A large amount of debris is peeled off from the neutron battle star. The amount of gas these peeled off debris turns into is so large that even the violent space energy cannot remove it.
Dispelled in a short period of time, the radiation from the neutron battle star became increasingly intense, to the point where it began to rotate slowly and continued to accelerate.
It moved forward a little again. This small distance has already caused earth-shaking changes. It was like the curtain of the stage suddenly closed, and all the scenes behind the curtain appeared in front of it at a glance.
The fragmented space, the ever-changing broken light and shadow suddenly disappeared at this moment, and the universe became clear again. Ahead, a tractor spacecraft was suspended in the void, and thousands of huge space gates were suspended in the universe.
Among them, a large number of spaceships are constantly entering and exiting these space gates.
The twisted space has been completely broken by the Neutron Battle Star. From this moment on, the Shenzhou Civilization and the remains of the seventh-level civilization in this direction of travel are exposed to the Neutron Battle Star and the Sweeper Civilization without protection.
In the command room, Ares's face turned pale. He knew that even if he fought hard for so long, he eventually failed. He could persist for so long under the attack of the Neutron Battle Star, even with the help of Seven
The twisted space of a super civilization is also something to be proud of, but this is an era where heroes are judged by success or failure. No matter how outstanding Ares is and how much effort he puts in, his final result is failure. On this point,
It's enough to erase his achievements.
"Do you want me to see another situation like the fifth-level civilization alliance falling apart under the attack of Shenzhou civilization? Do you want Shenzhou civilization to be like the fifth-level civilization alliance and eventually be destroyed in my hands?"
"Xiao Yu, I'm sorry, you handed over Shenzhou Civilization to me, but I failed to make Shenzhou Civilization flourish." Ares murmured.
At this time, in the distance of this space, a strange flash of light suddenly appeared. This flash of light was like a fire of hope, expanding rapidly from the moment it appeared. At this time, the neutron warfare
Xing also stopped moving. Ares noticed a bit of solemnity in Zhong Zhan Xing's actions.
Time goes back more than 600 years to the Small Magellanic Cloud.
"Finally we have arrived at the Small Magellanic Cloud. We can start relevant experiments and attack the seventh-level civilization..." Xiao Yu sighed.
