Chapter 711 The Lost Mother Star and the Methuselah Stele [Postscript 1]
In 3221, twelve-year-old Chen Qingdu woke up from freezing.
She gently opened the sealing cover of the freezer and sat up straight.
After stretching comfortably, she put on her personal biochemical armor and walked out of the hatch.
Far ahead is a huge planet, slowly orbiting a red giant star.
The extremely radioactive Envelope Nebula tumbles outside the planet's surface following its rotation, forming a spiral-shaped vortex.
The mountains on the surface of the planet are intertwined and layered in order.
Covered by a light sulfide atmosphere, the rust-colored red sea is churning with hedgehog-shaped waves unique to magnetic fluid.
Qingdu smiled, this is it, we have reached the right place.
Two seconds later, the holographic scan of the planet was entered. She connected to the ultra-long-range quantum communication and said: "Report to the command post that I have found the home planet of the Lost Tribe. You can inform other explorers to return the same way, or come to me and talk to you.
I'll join you."
At this time, two hundred and eleven years have passed since the Battle of the Galactic Center. Human beings finally found the Mystery home planet that humans had suspected for more than a thousand years at the border of the other end of the galaxy, and established a base here.
The first person to set foot on the home planet of the Mi clan was Chen Qingdu, the daughter of Chen Feng and Tang Tianxin.
For the past two hundred years, Qingdu has been in physiological cryogenic slumber.
Physiological cryopreservation is a new human cryonics technology that combines absolute link with new freezing. Its biggest feature is that it can make the cryogen's physiological functions infinitely close to the frozen state, but the mind can be active in the virtual space at a very low cost.
middle.
Physiological freezing saves human time to a great extent and extends human lifespan.
Chen Qingdu's biological age is only twelve years old now, but she has been studying in the virtual space for nearly two hundred years.
In the more than two hundred years since Chen Feng destroyed the Galactic Channel, human civilization has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Humanity has been digesting the new knowledge in the evolved bodies of the epiphysics. At the same time, it has never studied the remaining laws and force fields in the Galactic Surge Cannon, and has been constantly absorbing the knowledge of the boundaries of the super universe.
In order to obtain faster thinking speed and quickly absorb these things that are beyond the current human knowledge system, Freders Sergey made a huge sacrifice. He re-enacted the path that Chen Feng once walked and transformed quantum thinking into
Send yourself into a black hole and turn yourself into a black hole being.
The life-bearing black hole he chose was the galactic center restored to a sphere.
This is the super-giant black hole with the largest mass, the strongest gravity, and the highest collapse effect that humans can touch in a short period of time.
According to calculations, once his mind enters the galactic center black hole, under the constraints of excess gravity that leads to qualitative change due to quantitative change, his mind will not be able to escape the black hole like Chen Feng did back then.
It is a lifelong prison.
With Freders' current thinking stability, he will survive in the black hole in a quantum state for 40,000 years until he dissipates like Chen Feng in the ninth timeline.
Before Freders entered the black hole, Chen Feng asked him if he wanted to change his mind and use reproductive technology to reshape a bionic body and integrate it into human society. Freders refused without hesitation.
He told Chen Feng that he had no interest in living like a human being. Turning the black hole in the center of the galaxy into his own body could not only speed up his thinking, but also extend the time during which his thinking was active, which was better than physiological freezing.
He said: "The only temptation I can't resist in my life is to move towards the end of science."
Nowadays, countless academies of science across the empire are doing their best to transform the knowledge transmitted from the heart of the galaxy into applied science.
Among them, the technologies produced in this universe generation are generally in line with the essential scope of human exploration of the universe. Even if humans have not discovered some things now, it is just because the focus of human science and technology was not here before, and it was just absorbing other people's things.
It saves some time.
But those things from the previous universe generation, that is, the virtual energy universe, are at a level that humans should not have access to. In the real energy universe, virtual energy can maintain its existence for too short a time, and there is no virtual energy technology at all.
Experimental conditions. Without the ability to conduct experiments, in-depth research is naturally out of the question.
What Freders was doing began to be similar to Chen Feng's. One was to steal knowledge from time and give it back to mankind, and the other was to steal information from space that humans could never touch.
In addition, over the past two hundred years, mankind's theoretical progress has generally been related to the epiphyseal evolution body and the galactic surge cannon, but its achievements in the field of engineering have been earth-shaking.
Humanity has built a large-scale stargate transportation network with the Orion Arm and the Galactic Center as the two central points.
Nowadays, through countless super-large jump star gates that are derived from the Tiandong Star Gate, humans can leave the solar system and reach the galactic center in less than half a year.
With the assistance of new cryonics technology, the lifestyle of human civilization has undergone tremendous changes.
It took the unknown fleet three hundred years to reach the center of the galaxy. Nowadays, an ordinary young couple can take a trip to a new galaxy development zone tens of thousands of light-years away on their honeymoon.
The space transportation network that Ryan mentioned when chatting with Chen Feng was realized in another way on a scale that exceeded Ryan's imagination. Moreover, in the foreseeable future, the human stargate network will also be
The space ladder leads to more distant places, such as the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Andromeda Galaxy. And beyond, there is no end.
Of course, in areas that are temporarily out of reach of the Stargate, there are still human pioneers and explorers one after another who have frozen themselves in ultra-fast small spaceships and kept moving forward.
Their tasks include exploration, pioneering, and road construction. Just like the pioneers on the ancient earth, they went to one inaccessible mountain cliff after another, built bridges and roads here, and opened up territory for those who came after them.
The most typical characters are Chen Feng and Tang Tianxin’s disobedient daughter Chen Qingdu.
Qingdu passed the examination when he was five years old and became an S-class professional explorer who can carry 100,000 frozen embryos and independently pilot a Tianfeng-type scientific research vessel with the ability to fly at a stable curvature of 1,500 times the speed of light.
Afterwards, she went to say goodbye to her parents.
Tang Tianxin tried to dissuade him, but was blocked by Qingdu.
"Mom, you joined the army and fought in the war when you were three years old. I am already five years old, why can't I travel far away?"
This eternal saying that women fail to succeed in college took effect several years earlier in later generations.
…
In addition to the gradually built galactic transportation network, mankind has also completed another engineering miracle.
Although the Galactic Surge Cannon composed of 200 million stars poses a huge threat to mankind, it also raises human engineering imagination to a new level on another level.
In the past, even if humans built very large engineering projects, they were at best based on planetary systems or a few stars.
After all, mankind has just stepped out of the earth and become an interstellar civilization for less than a thousand years, and its horizons have not been fully opened, and some of the "poor people's thinking" of the past is still left in the mind.
Humanity's exploration of the universe also habitually tends to go to the micro level, which is not macroscopic enough and always seems to be fussy.
Of course, this is also limited by objective reasons. In the past, the enemy was still close at hand. If we blindly pursued large and beautiful buildings, we would often lose mobility, and the difficulty of defense would increase exponentially with the decrease in mobility and the expansion of volume.
As the level increases, it can easily be attacked and destroyed by the compound-eyes' special attack fleet. At the same time, it has to guard against the prism ship that has not shown up for a long time.
Improving the performance of small and medium-sized creations is the right choice. But now, with the destruction of the Galactic Center Channel, mankind has gained at least 40,000 years of peace, and some things that were previously impossible and inconvenient have become possible to practice.
.
Relying on the abundant energy brought by the ultra-high density of stars in the galactic center, mankind took 83 years to build a computing power system consisting of as many as 180 trillion super computing modules within a 4-light-year radius near the galactic center.
Giant brain center.
Each supercomputing module has a volume 1.5 times that of the Earth and a mass three times that of the Earth. They are wired to each other using the latest super-flux real-energy quantum resonance technology.
180 trillion modules are combined together to form the most powerful brain center in history with information transmission efficiency, computing power and data storage capacity far beyond the human brain, exponentially increasing the computing power and data storage capacity of Fanxing by more than 100 million
times.
At the same time, as Fanxing's computing power increases again, its auxiliary capabilities become stronger and stronger, and the internal and external environment gradually stabilizes, human beings have completely regained the instinct to pursue "big and beautiful", and more and more super-giant experimental equipment and production tools are emerging one after another.
.
Get rid of the short-term shadow of war, and have the prospect of 40,000 years of war. These two inevitable future patterns have a profound impact on everyone. Thanks to the advancement of super artificial intelligence stars again, human productivity has increased in these two hundred years.
Really explosive growth was achieved.
The growth rate of civilization's productivity is even higher than that brought about by the first, second, third, and fifth scientific revolutions when humans were still on the earth.
…
On the home planet of the Mizu, Qingdu only went out for a brief look, then returned to his Tianfeng-type scientific research vessel, and put his consciousness into a humanoid multi-functional armor through an implanted chip.
.
This is a new type of brain-linked remote control armor that is a one-to-one replica of herself. It has multiple functions such as combat, scientific research, and productivity base.
If judged by the standards of three hundred years ago, Qingdu's armor is equivalent to a productive fleet that can develop a planetary system.
Three minutes later, the armor landed on the surface of the Myzu home planet.
A large number of nano-microrobots swarmed out from the back of the armor and swooped across the planet's surface. They began to act like microorganisms on the earth, collecting resources to expand their size with extremely high efficiency, just like what Chen Feng's Flying Tigers did on the epizoan planet.
In this way, we use existing resources to develop rapidly.
Three days later, a scientific research base on the surface of the planet that could accommodate a thousand people was built.
Half a month later, the base expanded to a population of 10,000 people. During this period, other scientific expedition personnel and explorers arrived at the base.
Ten months later, the size of the base was increased to accommodate 200,000 people, and the number of staff increased to 13,000.
At the same time, as the first baby cried, a highly simulated robot nanny took a newborn baby out of the artificial embryo breeding room.
This means that a new human base is officially completed here.
Two years later, when an excavation team excavated into the mantle of the Myth home planet two thousand kilometers deep, they encountered a powerful self-defense super weapon.
Chen Qingdu's remotely controlled armor arrived at the second moment and was defeated.
The elite soldiers patrolling the surface of the planet arrived at the third moment, but were still defeated and all were killed.
Subsequently, Chen Qingdu, despite the opposition of tens of thousands of people in the base, arrived in his true form in a personally customized miniature version of the Silver Wing Armor, and fought fiercely for nearly half an hour with the Mizu super armor that was about dozens of kilometers tall.
, finally dismantled it into parts.
Not only that, Chen Qingdu also relied on his exquisite on-the-spot performance to save the large-scale brain core of the Lost Clan's weapons and handed it over to Fanxing for processing and absorption.
This is the last wealth left by the Mizu as a tool of the Void, assisting human evolution throughout the entire process. This core database contains bits and pieces of how humans evolved from mediocre primates to today's high-level civilization.
It contains a large amount of micro-change data at the genetic level. These data have greatly improved all the information collected by Chen Feng before, and suddenly brought human eyes back to millions of years ago.
After this battle, Chen Qingdu's personal ranking in the warrior sequence skyrocketed.
According to the comprehensive combat strength assessment hosted by the mastermind Fanxing, it was deduced that the ability index displayed by Chen Qingdu in this small-scale battle could at least rank among the top 100 humans.
If she hadn't happened to meet him at the right time, this lost weapon could have destroyed the entire human base on the planet by one person. At least a whole special operations squadron would have to be mobilized from other areas and a huge price would have to be paid to annihilate it.
.
The value of super soldiers is evident here.
After that, a total of ten years passed, and Chen Qingdu, who was biologically twelve and a half years old, left the Mizu home planet and rode a Tianfeng-type scientific research ship that had undergone another round of modifications to go to a distant target.
Accompanying her are hundreds of scientific research ships of various types aboard thousands of explorers, soldiers, and engineers.
She and her team members aimed directly at a target beyond the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy.
Tang Tianxin once tried to stop her reckless behavior, but Chen Qingdu's attitude was very firm.
Tang Tianxin looked helplessly at Chen Feng, who was smiling next to him.
My daughter's talents are still gradually revealed, but in terms of personality, she has fully inherited the most stubborn parts of herself and Chen Feng.
Chen Feng patted Tang Tianxin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay. Trust her. She has been waiting for nine worlds today and nothing will happen easily."
Tang Tianxin said angrily: "Are you also superstitious?"
Chen Feng shrugged, "This is not called superstition, this is called judgment. Have my judgments been wrong so far?"
Tang Tianxin, who was originally a little anxious, slowly calmed down.
She thought for a while and then said: "The previous fire ships and escape ships heading to Andromeda are still on the way. The ships of that fleet can only reach five hundred times the speed of light. After technological innovation, they are limited by the original hull
The design can only barely maintain a thousand times the speed of light, and it will take more than 1,600 years to reach Andromeda. Although the Qingdu expedition set off late, it will only take a total of more than 1,400 years to arrive.
Calculating this, I'm afraid I will have to stay frozen for a while, and I don't want to wait for her to wake up and receive the news of my death first."
Chen Feng nodded, "Of course."
He knew that there would eventually be a time to say goodbye, but it would be better for that day to arrive later than earlier.
After sending Tang Tianxin into the freezing cabin, Chen Feng left alone.
Tang Tianxin needs cryogenic sleep, but he doesn't.
Just now, the patrol team on the planet Methuselah sent back information that this ancient planet with a lifespan longer than the current generation of the universe evaporated and exploded.
Chen Feng silently remembered Lai Wenming and Glennie in his heart for a moment, then boarded the shuttle to go to the Silver Wing Armor floating in the same orbit as the earth.
He has to go over there and check out the situation.
If nothing unexpected happens, this is the virtual farewell to the current generation of the universe.
It is impossible for the Xu clan to come back.
However, other fourth-level civilizations enslaved by the Void will still live in deception and will still attack humans.
Perhaps according to the historical process of the Xu clan, this kind of war is inherently necessary in the iteration of the universe.
The process of human beings annihilating other civilizations is itself absorbing the achievements and resources of other civilizations.
There is no need for too many level four civilizations in the universe.
Even if the universe is infinite.
When Chen Feng arrived at Methuselah, it was already tightly surrounded by a large number of engineering ships, scientific research ships and garrison warships.
Detailed and comprehensive research work is in full swing.
At the core of the original location of the planet, there is still energy leaking with astonishing intensity, making it difficult for ordinary warriors to enter.
Chen Feng switched the Silver Wing Armor to remote control mode. He stayed outside and flew in with his consciousness controlling the Silver Wing Armor.
Finally, he brought out a metal tablet from inside.
The surface of the metal monument is engraved with mysterious symbols, numbering in the hundreds of billions.
Each symbol stores trillions of terabytes of data.
This metal tablet is the last wealth left by Lai Wenming and Glennie to their people who have been hiding in the Methuselah star for seven hundred years.
For seven hundred years, these two people, living in a corner almost forgotten by mankind, have never stopped exploring the core of Methuselah.
Their research direction is the same as that of Ou Qinglan, aiming at the "ether" that can span the generations of the universe.
Suppose the median value refers to the length, width and height of "ether", but the two also want to know the density, extensibility, specific shape and other basic characteristics of "ether".
The depth of this information is too astonishing, and the amount of information contained inside is too huge. With the information transmission methods the two have mastered, there is no way to transmit it through word of mouth with liaison personnel.
Over the years, the two simply engraved it directly on the metal tablets they had used.
Now, this metal monument that connects two universe generations has finally seen the light of day and has become an "asset" of mankind.
