"Perhaps, having no way out is the biggest blow to a civilization." Xiao Yu thought silently, "Being restricted in such a small river system is really a terrifying thing..."
Xiao Yu has roughly restored the entire process of the matter. In the gravitational battle between the two river systems, this open star cluster was thrown out of the river system and advanced in the lonely universe for billions of years.
The nearest river system was millions of light years away. But at this time, a civilization was born from this river system.
This river system is too small, with few stars and few planets. Under such circumstances, intelligent life was born. For this civilization, I really don’t know whether it is lucky or unfortunate.
This is a very sad civilization. Xiao Yu knows that they have never seen what a sky full of stars looks like. In their sky, there are only thousands of scattered stars, and because of the angle, brightness
Etc., the number of stars that can be seen without the aid of observation instruments will never exceed a thousand.
Under such circumstances, this civilization was developing silently. They relied on the strength of their own civilization without any exchanges with other civilizations, and thus developed to the level of fifth-level civilization. After becoming a fifth-level civilization
Afterwards, due to restrictions, the technological development process of this civilization came to a standstill. Because for them, all things that could be detected have been explored, some deeper mysteries, and because this river system is too large.
Because it is so small, there is no way to study it at all.
This is a very embarrassing and desperate situation - everything that can be known is known, and there is no hope of knowing what cannot be known. They are not like other civilizations. For example, Xiao Yu can always be slow
To develop forward. Their civilization has developed to this extent, and the way forward has been blocked.
So this civilization is in despair. This civilization puts its energy into other places, such as war, such as conspiracy, such as division and reunification, such as a more intoxicating life. If it does not break out in silence, it will perish in silence.
This civilization finally broke out. They chose a road that they knew was a dead end, and unswervingly began to move forward along this fatal road.
What was the final result? - Of course they all died, in this boundless and lonely starry sky. Even the sixth-level civilization did not have the ability to sail across the river system, let alone the fifth-level civilization. After experiencing the solar system to
Xiao Yu, who was on a voyage to the four star systems in Tianyuan, knew what a desperate scene it was.
As we move further and further away from home, the reserves of supplies will become less and less, and the living standards of the people will inevitably become lower and lower. Perhaps, after a certain period of time, this civilization will begin to dismantle the remaining spaceships and use the remaining
The spaceship was used as fuel to support them to continue moving forward, but the dismantling of the spacecraft could not sustain it for long, and they finally ran out of resources.
When the final moment came, they broke away from the warp voyage. They used the last fuel to accelerate these spacecrafts for regular voyages - they accelerated these spacecrafts to a relative speed of 70,000 kilometers per second, and then began to move slowly.
approaching the target at a fast speed.
They were like travelers stranded in the desert. Even when they were about to die, they kept on moving forward.
This is a civilization full of luck and tragedy. They were lucky to be born in such a small river system, but tragically they were severely restricted by the small river system. They finally dedicated their lives to escaping from their hometown.
During his journey, he devoted himself to the process of finding a way out for his own civilization.
This caused Xiao Yu to think deeply. Xiao Yu began to think about a question.
"This civilization fell into despair because this river system was too small, and because the development of civilization was subject to unbreakable restrictions, and eventually died in the process of pursuing a way out. So what about me... So what about this universe?
What about all the intelligent civilizations in the world..."
This question is a very deep question. For example, for Xiao Yu, the current universe is still vast and full of unknown existences. Even if Xiao Yu spends all his energy, Xiao Yu will not be able to explore the entire universe.
Even if it is one in a billion. But Xiao Yu knows that in the early stages of the development of the extinct civilization, when they were still restricted to the planet, that tiny river system was equally vast and exhaustive to them.
I have spent my whole life exploring the existence that I cannot understand.
In other words, what is the difference between the entire universe and this tiny river system?
When this civilization developed enough to fully explore this river system, they fell into madness. So for Xiao Yu, if one day, Xiao Yu also develops to the point where he can fully explore the entire universe, will Xiao Yu also
Will it fall into madness? When it fell into madness, this civilization chose to embark on the road of sailing to other river systems, knowing that it was bound to die, and finally died on the journey as expected. So when Xiao Yu fell into
What should Xiao Yu do when he is crazy, and what will he do?
This question seems to be connected with another question, that is, what is the meaning of the existence of life? Perhaps life is originally meaningless, and the meaning of life lies in the constant pursuit of the unknown.
Constantly completing one goal after another. But... what would it be like if there were no more unknowns ahead and no goals in life?
Xiao Yu felt a bone-chilling chill spreading in his spirit. Xiao Yu had never doubted his life, but if one day, Xiao Yu really stood at the top of the universe, everything in the universe
It was all known to Xiao Yu. What should I do at that time?
Is it like this crazy civilization, embarking on a path that continues to pursue the unknown knowing that it will lead to death?
Xiao Yu doesn't know.
"When this civilization dies, I fulfill their last wish and take them to their destination. So, what should I do when I also die because of madness?" Xiao Yu murmured to himself
I was thinking about this issue.
From this aspect, there is actually no essential difference between the entire vast universe and that tiny river system. They are both breeding grounds for intelligent creatures, and at the same time, they are also cages that restrict intelligent creatures.
"Actually, all intelligent creatures are drinking poison to quench their thirst. All intelligent creatures are satisfying their desire for exploration through continuous technological progress and constant exploration of the unknown. These technologies, theories and knowledge are not good things; they are
Poisons, they will make civilization develop a strong dependence. When all the unknowns are explored, the poison will finally attack, and the civilization will eventually fall into a situation of poisonous death. But the most ridiculous thing is
The thing is, although this truth is very obvious, all civilizations, including mine, cannot escape this vicious circle."
"I...how can I stop? Even if they are obviously poison, I still have to keep eating them." Xiao Yu murmured to himself, "If my technology cannot progress, if my progress is cut off now
I will go crazy now. This is destined. When I was still on earth, when I picked up a pen and a book, I learned the first mathematical formula and the first physical theorem.
By that time, this kind of poison had already taken root deep in my soul, leaving me unable to escape for the rest of my life. My drug addiction would get bigger and bigger, and the amount of poison I needed would get bigger and bigger.
It’s getting more and more, so I can only continue to maintain it like this. It’s better to have it in the future than to have it now.”
This civilization that died during the journey made Xiao Yu think a lot and deeply touched Xiao Yu's soul. But Xiao Yu could no longer stop himself. The vast starry sky and the boundless universe
, is like an extremely beautiful poppy. Although they know the danger, there are still countless civilizations, including Xiao Yu, who have stepped in, and they are all very enthusiastic, fearing that they will take drugs faster than other civilizations.
A little slower.
"From this perspective, those civilizations that were destroyed by war and those that died in the process of exploring the unknown are quite lucky. But this kind of luck... there are a few civilizations that can feel it. At least for me now.
, I still don’t want this kind of luck, I still want to continue smoking, even if my addiction will get worse and worse." Xiao Yu thought about these things with a wry smile.
Xiao Yu has been thinking about this problem for a thousand years, but has not come to a clear conclusion. Xiao Yu doesn't want to die yet, and there are still many things waiting for Xiao Yu to do. So Xiao Yu can only follow this path.
Continue to move forward.
"The Mafei Galaxy has arrived... Let's think about this issue later." Xiao Yu shook his head and shook the question out of his mind.
Xiao Yu released the relics of that civilization and gave them a little initial speed. Driven by this speed, they will enter the range of Mafei Galaxy. Maybe with luck, they will be captured by someone.
It is not certain that star capture will eventually lead to a stable orbit.
What appeared in front of Xiao Yu was a brand new vast river system. Xiao Yu paused for a moment, and then resolutely embarked on the route into this river system.
"Even if the final result is death from drug addiction, let me get over my current addiction first." Xiao Yu thought. (To be continued...)
