Chapter 168 Multiverse
It seems that Number Zero is listening to these things, but in fact it is Lu Yuan who is listening.
Lu Yuan was a little surprised.
He didn't expect that a mechanical race actually existed in this universe, and that they had done such big things.
However, there is a big difference between the number zero machine race and the machine race in this universe.
Leaders are different.
One is called Cybertron and the other is called Mechanical Heart.
This shows that this mechanical family of mine should actually come from another universe.
Lu Yuan was already accustomed to the settings of other universes.
He has now basically figured out his abilities.
If the multiverse is compared to a piece of land, then each single universe is a well.
Most single universes will remain wells until their wells run dry.
But there are some cases where they found weak points in the wells, connected them to other wells by drilling holes, and found ways to plunder the water from other wells.
The hell world is such an existence.
If it continues to develop, the well may become a pond, a lake or even the sea.
By that time, not only will the well water be difficult to dry up, but even if other wells find it, it will probably only be reversely merged.
What is related to this is the problem of "drilling holes".
As mentioned before, the entire universe can be roughly divided into three things: baryonic matter, dark matter and dark energy.
Among them, baryonic matter represents all things that humans can see and touch, and is one of the important components of the "water" in the well.
Dark matter is something that humans cannot directly observe and can only rely on some phenomena to deduce its existence. It is not only "water", but also part of the "well wall" that constitutes the well.
As for dark energy, it is actually everything that is unobservable and immeasurable, but does exist in the universe. It can even directly affect the space-time structure itself. At the same time, it is also the most important component of the "well wall".
For this reason, dark energy does not even exist in a single universe, it floats between different universes.
It is not only an important part of the "well wall", but also an important part of the "land"!
But at the same time, it is precisely because of this characteristic of dark energy that if someone can use it skillfully, many things can be easily done.
For example: making holes.
No, it opens the door to parallel universes and connects the two universes.
Traditional science believes that a physical singularity is likely to be a point that can be used to create and travel through the universe.
A singularity is a point with infinitely small volume, infinite density, infinite gravity, and infinite space-time curvature. All physical laws at the material level cannot be applied.
In fact, this description is just a way of peeking into the dark plane from the material plane.
Dark energy itself does not have any defined mass at the level of baryonic matter, so it can be packed infinitely into a point.
But the energy it contains is extremely huge, so huge that it can even distort time and space, and even travel through time and space!
In the description of the third-level civilization given by Goldfinger, there is this paragraph: It can successfully utilize the energy released by all celestial bodies in the local galaxy, including black holes, and can transport the energy to the planet where the civilization is located within a few minutes. With such a Technical ability is called a third-level civilization.
But in fact, what Level 3 civilizations only have is the use of gravitational radiation from black holes at a certain distance.
Only when you reach the fourth level of civilization can you truly be qualified to spy on black holes.
But that's just "peeping".
Because in a sense, a black hole is a singularity that continuously accumulates dark matter under the influence of huge gravity, and then pulls baryon matter to the side, and finally forms a huge celestial body, or even a celestial system.
And through the surface of the black hole, we can reach its essential core-the singularity and study it.
If a certain civilization can master the method of creating and controlling singularities, then it is a well-deserved level five civilization!
At the same time, it can also successfully break away from the level of the single universe and extend the tentacles of civilization to the multiverse.
This is powerful from a technological level.
There is another special case.
They do not use technological means, but are similar to metaphysics.
Because they are in the dark plane themselves, they are a collection of certain dark energies, and they are only connected to the material world because of certain relationships.
Some say such existences are called: Demon Gods of Different Spaces, Evil Gods of Different Dimensions, and the like.
Others are called: Great Dao Consciousness, Heavenly Dao Consciousness, etc.
In short, the names are very rich, and may also include many human self-righteous understandings.
But you must know that such an existence itself cannot be understood.
So, you can just call it Goudan.
It won't care about you either.
Of course, if it wants to argue, there is a high probability that you will not have the chance to defend yourself.
Seeing that this existence that once made him uneasy was now easily solved, Lu Yuan looked very calm.
The installation of the [Invasion of Advanced Civilizations] DLC means that the Abyss civilization has completely integrated into the interstellar space of this universe.
But now, the Luyuan Star civilization is unprecedentedly powerful.
Human civilization has reached level 1.3 in terms of technological level, but the social form in which everyone cultivates exceeds many first-level civilizations.
The technological level of the mechanical race has reached level 3.0. However, because they have been trapped in the solar system, in order not to affect the stability of the sun or even the star Lu Yuan, the size of the mechanical race has been in a state of control.
It’s okay to work hard to climb the technology tree before.
But now, since it has been connected to the interstellar world, and the civilization level of the mechanical race has temporarily entered a period of decline, it has tended to level off.
Nowadays, the resources of a single planetary system have become a constraint for them. Rather than letting them continue to be trapped here, it is better to let them out.
It is foreseeable that the mechanical race will enter an explosive development stage next.
As for the ants, now the entire Mars has been completely occupied by the ants and has become the mother nest of the ants.
A few years ago, the ant clan, with Lu Yuan's permission, continued to throw immigrant organizations carrying ant queens and mycelium into space.
They will be transformed into interstellar coordinates, lighting up the fog of war in the universe for Lu Yuan.
As long as the ants take root on a certain planet, Lu Yuan can obtain the coordinates of that planet and even exert influence on it!
——
The Ice Bear Fleet is a prisoner of war of the Machine Tribe, and Lu Yuan allows Zero to freely arrange for them.
As a result, all members of the Ice Bear Fleet were rushed onto one of the space destroyers and drove to a desolate planet in the Proxima Galaxy to park.
As for the subsequent decision of No. 0 to negotiate with the Luyuan Star Federation, if they want it, he will trade these guys to them.
The technology of these guys is useless to the mechanical race, but to the Luyuan Star Federation, it is real "alien technology"!
