Chapter 275 “Entertainment Terminal”

Beyond the speed of light, this is such an imaginative term.

This is also a problem that all civilizations must face after entering the interstellar world. When they want to go to other galaxies, the travel time of years, even hundreds, or thousands of years is enough to discourage everyone.

There may be civilizations that use "hibernation" technology as an alternative, but this is only a temporary solution, not the root cause. Not every galaxy in the universe is habitable. What if the nearest habitable star is thousands of light-years away?

Decades of hibernation are enough to make a person lose touch with civilization. After a thousand years, their civilization may have been destroyed due to some drastic change.

It can be said that if you want to develop in the starry sky, exceeding the speed of light is a high wall that cannot be bypassed. Only by crossing this obstacle can you have the possibility to go further.

But not every civilization is lucky enough to reach beyond the speed of light.

Theoretically speaking, virtual realm passage is the easiest way to achieve faster-than-light speed. As long as you master a certain degree of spiritual energy, you will have the opportunity to complete "instantaneous movement" between galaxies through the virtual realm. Even humans initially passed through the virtual realm.

To lay out hyperspace.

But this is also the most difficult method. Awakening spiritual energy requires luck, and a stable virtual realm also requires luck. What's more, those beings born from the virtual realm are not very easy to talk about.

Under normal circumstances, the virtual realm is a place where opportunities and risks coexist. Most people will not choose to just use the virtual realm to complete a cross-galactic movement. This is completely not worth the cost and risk.

The jump engine is not suitable for use in early space exploration. Its own limitations in use and technological difficulty determine that this is not a technology that early interstellar civilizations should master.

Taking into account the current situation of the galaxy being lost in hyperspace, Li Wenyuan believes that the technological level of the civilization that did this is definitely not low, at least to unify the galaxy, so the traces it left behind cannot be small.

Not to mention the subspace, it is a place similar to the virtual realm, and more primitive. If you are not careful, you will get lost in it.

And Li Wenyuan also knew that the technology needed to develop hyperspace channels was probably the ninth-level technology "Creation Theory". It seemed that all technologies related to "space" would eventually reach this point.

[Name: Special Planetary Machinery - Variable Terminal·Change (for entertainment use)]

And judging from the star field currently being monitored by his sentinel array, he didn't find any conspicuous clues.

At the same time, not all civilizations can destroy hyperspace channels. Although creation is generally more difficult than destruction, they are similar in hyperspace because hyperspace is stable enough.

Or maybe it's just not far from Li Wenyuan.

The celestial environment here is quite special, with only one star, one planet, and a few satellites orbiting the planet.

"This kind of planet structure...artificial intelligence planet?"

The fluctuations of the transition flashed again, and in the blink of an eye, his spaceship arrived at the target galaxy.

And this is what early interstellar civilizations lacked. They often fell into an endless loop of "I need resources to develop technology - I need technology to obtain resources - then go research technology - how can I research technology if I don't have resources?"

.

Although there is no evidence that this planet comes from the same civilization as the previously discovered artificial intelligence planet, we still need to be cautious.

Li Wenyuan immediately focused his eyes and was about to jump the fleet here, but stopped the order midway.

The activation of the jump engine requires precise interstellar space coordinates and requires civilization to have profound achievements in physics. It is a technology that requires comprehensive technology to reach a certain level before it can be developed.

There seems to be a technical gap from level eight to level nine. Apart from waiting through time, only luck can speed up this research process.

Judging from the information on the "observation terminals" in the Milky Way and "Elliptical Galaxy Alpha", this is at least a civilization 1.7 billion years ago.

A large hole visible to the naked eye quickly appeared on the surface of the satellite. Although no weapons were seen, huge energy fluctuations were condensing inside, aiming directly at his spacecraft!

"I was not recognized. It seems that I have not been invaded by humans... But how could those guys let go of such a novel thing? Did it only appear after they left here?"

At present, it seems that the only common free and simple method of super-light speed is "hyperspace navigation".

The artificial intelligence planet here seems to have appeared after humans left here, which shows that this civilization is likely to continue to this day.

[Type: Artificial Intelligence Planet]

After all, the opponent's civilization level seems to be quite high, so it stands to reason that he will know more.

The artificial intelligence planets he knows so far all perform a single function and are truly "planetary machines". This artificial intelligence planet that attacks civilization everywhere seems somewhat similar to the "Purification Terminal".

After setting himself as the identification target, Li Wenyuan finally obtained the basic information of this artificial intelligence planet.

"The 'Ghost Signal Generator' installed on the scientific research spacecraft may not be strong enough. We need to bring a few Titans over and use a suppressive stance..."

But Li Wenyuan understood that the "Purification Terminal" could never be so "gentle". Its name of "purification" was not just rhetoric. If it didn't move, it would become a natural disaster.

So what will be the "function" performed by this new type of artificial intelligence planet discovered here?

However, before his spacecraft could approach, he found that the satellite orbiting the planet suddenly stopped, seemingly discovering his "intruder".

In order to find traces of this possible "Galactic Empire" and decipher the mystery of the broken hyperspace channel, Li Wenyuan followed the clues in the history of the "Ancient River People" and began to search for that civilization that seemed to unconditionally attack any suspected civilized galaxy.

Li Wenyuan felt a little incredible, surprised to see new artificial intelligence planet types in addition to "observation terminals" and "purification terminals" in such a place.

So the Titan flagships in each fleet were individually mobilized and jumped to this special galaxy. Only when the number increased to 50 ships could they complete the signal invasion work.

Without a hyperlane, light and a hyperdrive are useless.

However, what surprised him was that the one carrying out the attack in this galaxy was not actually a "civilization", but a somewhat familiar "planetary machine".

Because he remembered that in different galaxies at this time, there was a "curtain" blocking all external communications. If he lifted the protection of this artificial intelligence planet, then the mysterious civilization that left this planetary machine would probably discover him.

With the help of the Sentinel Array, it is not difficult to find that "civilization". Under the premise that they cannot exceed the speed of light, these civilizations that attack each other will not be too far away.

Currently, his "Creation Theory" research progress bar has turned one-fifth, and it is quite difficult to study it with his ability. This is only possible because he has gained insights from the "Miniature Galaxy".

However, after learning about some of the indigenous civilizations here and the history of space civilizations that cannot exceed the speed of light, Li Wenyuan discovered that such a huge "Galaxy Empire" seemed to have never existed here.

However, how to open a hyperspace channel is still a difficult problem. "Hyperspace Engine" is easy to study, but "hyperspace channel" is not. The difficulty of the two can be said to be the same as that of heaven and earth.
