Chapter nine hundred and eighty fifth circumnavigation
"Do we need to do it?" Ruto was stunned for a moment and asked, "How should we do it?"
"Before discussing this issue, let me tell you a story first." Xiao Yu said, "You probably don't know much about our human civilization. Well, when our human civilization was still at a very low stage, people generally
He believes that that small planet is the entire universe and is the core of the universe. The sun, moon, stars, and everything else are rotating around the earth under their feet. And because the ground that people see is flat, they think that,
The earth is also flat. This is the theory that the sky is round and the earth is round."
"No matter how great a civilization is, it is always in ignorance in the early days of its birth. There is nothing strange about this." Ruto replied, "Our Pegasus civilization was also like this at the beginning."
Xiao Yu ignored Ruto's statement, but continued to talk to himself: "With the slow accumulation and development of our human civilization's science and technology, people finally discovered the error of the theory that the sky is round and the earth is round. Compared with the sky, the sky is round and the earth is round.
In terms of a round place, the Earth is a sphere which can better explain the phenomena observed by people. And more and more observers have confirmed the fact that the Earth is a sphere. But unfortunately, until that time, all
Speculations are just speculation, and there is no direct evidence to prove this."
"Until a navigator named Magellan personally verified it... He led his fleet, and under the prevailing saying that the end of the sky is the devil's abyss, he bravely embarked on a journey... in the boundless
On the boundless ocean, he encountered countless difficulties. There were strong winds, heavy rain, and huge waves... Disease and fatigue plagued this weak fleet. Death lingered like a devouring ghost...
…You have to know that with the level of science at that time, it was unimaginably difficult to make a trip around the world. But this pioneer named Magellan finally succeeded. His fleet sailed from this side of his country
He set out, circled the earth once, and returned from the other side. He used his personal actions to prove that the earth is a sphere. From then on, the brilliance of science began to dispel the clouds of ignorance, and our human civilization has since entered a new era.
"In the chapter." Xiao Yu said lightly. This thrilling story came out of Xiao Yu's mouth. It was as ordinary as ordinary chat. But behind this ordinary, there is a shocking power.
.
Ruto was silent, and then said: "If you want to break ignorance. If a civilization wants to progress, it will definitely need the hard work of pioneers who come one after another."
"This matter is of epoch-making significance." Xiao Yu said, "In order to commemorate this great pioneer, the two satellite galaxies of our home Milky Way are named after this pioneer. These are the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud.
Magellanic Clouds."
"This is indeed a feat." Ruto sighed. "Okay. I understand what you want to do."
Xiao Yu nodded: "Yes, I want to recreate this scene now, and I want to explore the origin of the universe we live in. Yes, so far, with our technology, we have many
There is evidence to prove that the universe is a sphere at the four-dimensional level, but... we still don’t have the most direct evidence, right? I want to embark on another voyage and spend millions of years on a voyage around the universe. This matter
It's too important for me to unfold on my own. I need you to cooperate with me."
"The observable radius of the universe is 13.7 billion light years. Our fastest sailing speed at the moment can already reach two thousand times the speed of light. This means that it will take at least 680 years to reach the end of the universe from us.
150,000 years. But one thing is very important. The number 13.7 billion light-years is only within the observable range. Beyond this number, what is the shape of the universe, what is there, and what it is like.
We don't know anything about the environment. After all, even if we go in different directions and meet at the end, we conservatively estimate that it will take more than 10 million years." Ruto murmured, "This, this is still...
What a magnificent trip.”
If the universe is really a sphere at the four-dimensional level as Xiao Yu speculated, then the universe has no so-called center, or anywhere in the universe is the center. Just like a three-dimensional sphere, such as a basketball,
Can you say where is the center of this basketball surface?
Therefore, it doesn’t matter where the starting point of the voyage around the universe is, it’s the same everywhere.
"Combined with the theory I mentioned before." Xiao Yu said, "The speed of light is the upper limit of this universe, and our super-light detection methods cannot detect such a long distance. Then, the age of the universe is one hundred and thirty-seven years.
For billions of years, the limit of our cognition is a radius of 13.7 billion light years. All information beyond this range is unknown to us. And the unknown means the superposition state, and the conditions there are unknown to us.
It is said to be uncertain. So... I want to detect things beyond the visible universe. A circumnavigation of the universe is of great significance to us. As long as we can succeed, then we will see the origin of the universe clearly. There will be no obstacle to us.
Entering the eighth-level civilization category or higher, we will truly become the pinnacle of this universe."
"If everything goes well..." Ruto murmured to himself, with a confused look in his eyes. He seemed to have fallen into fantasy: "If everything goes well, we, walking with our backs to each other, will be around ten million.
Years later, we will meet at a place about 27 billion light years away from here. But there are too many changes, and we will probably lose contact forever and never be able to find each other again. Well, it is better to keep the place where we want to meet.
Here, in the Feiyuan Galaxy, but in that case, it will take us more than 20 million years and the voyage will reach more than 50 billion light years."
"It doesn't matter where we want to get together." Xiao Yu said, "It doesn't even matter that we lose contact forever. This is a road of seeking the truth full of thorns, and it is very likely that there will be many obstacles on this road.
I am even ready to die on this road. I think... the pioneer of our human civilization, the navigator named Magellan, must have been in the same mood when he decided to set out on a long voyage.
Same as me."
"Yes, as long as you can find the origin of the universe and see the true face of the universe, the life of an individual or the rise and fall of a civilization is really nothing." Ruto said, "Very good, you have already
You have successfully convinced me, and I will give you my full support. However, our civilization is not under my control. You have to discuss it with Ares on how to implement this matter."
"No need to discuss, I agree with this matter." Ares' image also appeared here at this time, "I am absolutely sure that our people will also agree with this matter. We are making history, we
We are creating the future. Although I am not a scientist, I understand the significance of this matter."
"Very good." Xiao Yu said with a slight smile: "It is my honor to have you accompany me on this road full of thorns. Ares, Ruto, thank you."
"No need to thank us." Ares said, "We should thank you. Xiao Yu, thank you for giving us the qualifications to embark on this path. This is something I never dared to imagine before."
"We are comrades in arms, aren't we?" Xiao Yu said. Then several people looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"It's just... we probably won't see the day when success comes." Ares said, "Although our life technology is advanced, and although it is claimed that everyone can have eternal life, this is only a superficial statement.
.In fact, our lifespan is unlikely to exceed one million years. This is the limit of the universe on collective intelligent life. In the future, our descendants may meet you on our behalf."
"The inheritance of life is so wonderful." Xiao Yu said, "Your body will die, but your spirit will always be passed on. At our level, there seems to be nothing to fear between life and death."
Several people smiled again.
"We need to do some preparation work. We must deduce what we may encounter during the voyage, and then make as thorough preparations as possible. At the same time, we must also formulate some methods on how to find each other after the voyage is over...
Well, there are a lot of things that need to be prepared, so let’s set the start time of the voyage a hundred years later.”
"Okay, one hundred years from now."
Xiao Yu and the Shenzhou and Pegasus civilizations are undoubtedly powerful, but this kind of power is still a bit small compared to the vastness of the universe. Xiao Yu has only been a few hundred thousand years old since his birth.
Now it will take at least 10 million years for Yu to make this unprecedented great journey.
The vastness of the universe will be vividly displayed in front of Xiao Yu. No one knows what things and strange situations he will encounter along the way. But Xiao Yu still decides to set off.
"What I have pursued all my life is nothing more than these few things." Xiao Yu murmured to himself, "Looking for Chen Mo and exploring the unknown. Everything else is integrated into these two biggest goals. For
For me, even if I die on the road of exploration, it is not a bad thing."
"My friends, goodbye, I look forward to our reunion in ten million years... Goodbye, goodbye." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
