Somewhere in the void where Orion's cantilever is close to the center of the Milky Way, the space was originally very calm, without a trace of waves, just like it had been for a long time, with an eternal and unchanging atmosphere.
Suddenly, ripples appeared in the space, and a colorful space-time wormhole quickly opened, and space battleships flew out from it. These space battleships were huge and brightly lit, like palaces from the depths of the universe.
.
"Everyone, take a good rest, we are about to enter the realm of death."
On the "Jianyuan" space battleship, Xie Jin, the ambassador of the Naga civilization sent by the Xinghan civilization to the center of the galaxy, looked at the void in front of him and gave instructions to his men.
Not long ago, Xinghan officially established friendly relations with the fourth-level cosmic civilization Naga civilization. Sradha was officially appointed as the first Naga civilization ambassador to Xinghan civilization. He will stay in Xinghan for a short period of time and be responsible for communication between the two parties.
and contacts.
Naturally, Xinghan also needed to send a team of ambassadors to the Naga Civilization. Xinghan's senior management made many choices, and finally chose Xie Jinlai to be the ambassador of the Xinghan Civilization to the Naga Civilization, responsible for leading a huge team to the center of the galaxy.
, go to Naga civilization.
Xie Jin is the first master in Xinghan to reach the realm of Heavenly Master, and his current cultivation is even more unfathomable. With him leading the group to the center of the galaxy, he can easily solve any troubles they encounter.
Of course, he has many tasks. It is not just as simple as going to the Naga civilization. It is the first time for Xinghan to step on the big stage of the Milky Way. There are too many things to know. Therefore, Xie Jin also shoulders the heavy responsibility of collecting intelligence information about various civilizations in the center of the Milky Way.
In addition, Xinghan's appearance on the big stage of the galaxy will definitely attract various civilizations and forces. In a short period of time, the team led by Xie Jin is equivalent to the face of Xinghan, and naturally it is necessary to maintain the majesty of Xinghan.
This is also the reason why Xie Jin was chosen to be the ambassador.
Xie Jin looked in the direction of the center of the Milky Way. Looking from this place, he could clearly see that the center of the Milky Way was like a dazzling galaxy, stretching across the dark starry sky.
The Milky Way as a whole has a flat shape. When viewed from the cantilever of Orion, the center of the Milky Way looks like a galaxy. This is also the origin of the name of the Milky Way. In ancient China, the Milky Way was also called Yinhan, Xinghe, Xinghan, Yunhan, etc.
From the third cantilever, the Orion cantilever, to the center of the Milky Way, the shortest route is to cross the Dead Realm in front of you. In addition, you can also reach the center of the Milky Way along the direction connecting the third cantilever to the center of the Milky Way.
Both routes have their own advantages. They go directly from the Realm of Death to the center of the Milky Way. The advantage of this route is that it is very close. The straight-line distance is less than five thousand light-years. However, because there are no stars in the Realm of Death, naturally
There is no such thing as a living planet, so flying in such an area will not get any supplement at all.
If the warp engine technology is not up to par, and something happens once it enters such an area, it means that it will be left in the realm of death forever.
In history, many fleets in the center of the Milky Way entered the Realm of Dead Silence and never came out. This is also the origin of the name of the Realm of Dead Silence.
Another route is that there are stars along the way, which means that there are living planets and civilizations that can be replenished. Even if something happens to the spacecraft, you can slowly fly to the nearest planetary system and wait slowly.
Rescue.
But the disadvantage is that this route is very long. The distance to the Milky Way along the third cantilever is more than 30,000 light-years away. With the warp engine technology of the Naga civilization, this warp speed flight cannot reach less than 30,000 light-years.
A distance of 3 light-years. This 30,000 light-year distance requires 30,000 flights.
So many warp flights are enough to destroy the warp engine, which is why Slarda risked his life to come to the third cantilever from the Dead Realm.
Of course, for the nearest space battleship in the galaxy, the Realm of Death is nothing at all.
As early as hundreds of years ago, Xinghan's warp engine technology had exceeded three digits, and a warp flight could span a distance of hundreds of light years.
As for the latest space battleship that Xie Jin rides on, it is equipped with the latest warp engine. One warp speed flight is enough to span a distance of five hundred light years.
The Dead Realm is only 5,000 light-years away, and only ten warp speed flights are enough, so there is not much pressure on anyone at all.
This time Xie Jin went to the center of the galaxy and led a very large team.
The entire team consists of twelve Xinghan's latest dragons and space battleships. They are equipped with the latest warp engines, energy shields, and energy attack cannons. It can be said that they are armed to the teeth and are enough to cope with any situation.
In addition, there are a large number of scientists in the entire team, more than 1 million in number, covering various fields of disciplines. They specialize in going to the center of the galaxy to study the center of the galaxy, and at the same time studying the technological development of these civilizations in the center of the galaxy.
.
In addition, a group of masters have been recruited from the Temple of Practitioners. There are twelve masters who have cultivated to the realm of Heavenly Masters, enough to deal with some special situations.
Soon, twelve huge space battleships took off again, disappearing into the void with waves of space fluctuations.
In the Realm of Dead Silence, ripples appeared in a pitch-black void, and twelve huge space battleships flew out of the space-time wormhole.
"咻~咻~"
As soon as the warp flight ended, various detectors on the space battleships were launched into the surrounding pitch-black void for free.
"Didi~Didi~"
Astronomy scientists are the busiest on the space battleships. The advanced detection instruments on the space battleships, coupled with the launched detectors, continuously gather data and information from the surrounding void.
Judging from the information obtained from the Naga civilization, the Realm of Dead Silence is very desolate, without any civilization or life, and even the cosmic matter in the Realm of Dead Silence is extremely barren.
This made Xinghan's cosmic astronomy scientists full of interest. They finally came to the Realm of Dead Silence, so naturally they wanted to have a detailed understanding of the Realm of Dead Silence.
Only by understanding the Realm of Death can we better understand the structure of the Milky Way, and then explore the historical evolution of the Milky Way. Even further, we can deduce the history and evolution of the universe.
"Sure enough, it is the same as the information provided by the Naga civilization. This dead realm is very desolate, and even the matter in the universe is very scarce. There is not a large celestial body within a few light-years around."
Aboard the 'Jianyuan' space battleship, the Cosmic Astronomy Research Center, the person in charge of the entire team in the field of cosmic astronomy, and the authoritative expert in the field of Xinghan cosmic astronomy were looking at the detected data, and they were also thinking deeply.
"Why is the matter in the universe so scarce in the Realm of Death?"
"Perhaps the ultimate reason is related to the black hole at the center of the Milky Way."
Beside Xie Zheng, a young cosmic astronomer said.
"Oh? Tell me what you think."
Xie Zheng looked at the other party. This young man's name is Wei Yuan. He is an outstanding representative in the field of cosmic astronomy in the new generation. He has published many of his own research and understandings in the field of cosmic astronomy, and his many understandings on black holes have also gained many authorities.
Recognized by scientists.
"The black hole at the core of the Milky Way is very massive. Because its mass is so huge, it exerts tremendous pressure on the surrounding space, causing the surrounding space to distort and fold, etc."
"In addition, the black hole at the core of the Milky Way is also moving at an extremely high speed in the universe, so the combination of the two, the black hole distorts space, causing huge distortions in the space within the entire Milky Way."
"We may be able to explain this distortion with a simple metaphor. For example, this piece of paper is the plane of the Milky Way. Now I am twisting it hard at the center of the paper."
Wei Yuan took out a piece of paper, showed it to everyone, and then twisted the center of the paper hard, and the whole paper suddenly became wrinkled.
"Please see, this piece of paper is like space. In this space, some places are raised and some are sunken. If there is something on this paper, it will slowly gather towards the sunken places. As for the
Where there is a bulge, the original content on it will slowly flow away."
"So the civilization in this concave place can be regarded as a cantilever, which gathers the surrounding cosmic matter. As for the convex place, it is almost equivalent to the realm of death and silence. There is very little matter in the realm of death and silence, because it has all flowed to the cantilever.
Already."
Wei Yuan's metaphor is very vivid and easy to understand. But when it is enlarged to the scope of the Milky Way, the surrounding cosmic astronomy scientists can't help but ponder.
For cosmic astronomers like them, studying celestial bodies and studying the shape, structure, history, origin, evolution, etc. of the Milky Way are the most interesting things.
About the Milky Way, about the origin and evolution of the universe, these are also topics that cosmic astronomical scientists have been tirelessly exploring.
"A very good hypothesis, but how to prove your conjecture?"
Jie Zheng pondered for a while, thought about it and said.
Scientists' opinions and conclusions need to be supported by theory and experiment, otherwise it is just empty talk and random false assumptions.
"Well, for now, I haven't thought of any way to support my point of view."
Wei Yuan smiled and said awkwardly, the difficulty in cosmic astronomy is that humans are very small, and the universe is very vast. What humans can see and understand is very limited, so many times their understanding is limited.
