Vol 3 Chapter 985: Circumspace

"Need us to do it?" Ruto paused and asked, "What should we do?"
"Before discussing this issue, let me tell you a story." Xiao Yu said, "You should not know much about our human civilization. Alas, when our human civilization was still at a very low level, people generally I think that the small planet is the whole of the universe, the core of the universe, and the sun, moon, and stars, everything revolves around the earth under their feet. And because the ground that people see is flat, people think that, The earth is also flat. That's what the Tianyuan place says. "
"No matter how great a civilization is, it is in the obscurity at the beginning of its birth. This is not surprising." Ruto replied, "our Pegasus civilization was the same."
Xiao Yu did not pay attention to Ruto ’s statement, but still said to himself: "With the slow accumulation and development of human civilization and science and technology, people have finally found a mistake in Tianyuan place. Compared to Tian In terms of circles, 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, by that time, all Speculation is just speculation, and there is no direct evidence to prove it. "
"Until a navigator named Magellan has verified in person ... He led his fleet, and bravely embarked on the journey at the end of the sky when the abyss of the devil said it was popular ... On the boundless ocean, he encountered countless difficulties. There were strong winds, heavy rain, huge waves ... sickness and exhaustion plagued the small fleet. Death was like a ghost that ate people ... … You know, it was difficult to imagine a world trip at the scientific level at that time. But this pioneer named Magellan finally succeeded. His fleet came from this side of his country. Set off and returned from the other side after orbiting the earth for a week. He proved the saying that the earth is a sphere with his own actions. Since then, the glory of science has begun to dispel the dark clouds of ignorance and our human civilization has stepped into a new In the chapter. "Xiao Yu said lightly. This thrilling story was told from Xiao Yu's mouth. It's as bland as an ordinary chat. But behind this bland, it has its own shocking power.
Ruto was silent, then said, "If you want to break ignorance. If a civilization wants to progress, it must inevitably work hard for this pioneer."
"This thing has epoch-making significance." Xiao Yu said, "In honor of this great pioneer, the two satellite galaxies in our home galaxy are named after this pioneer. This is the Large Magellanic Cloud and Xiao The Magellan Nebula. "
"This is indeed a feat." Ruto sighed. "Okay. I understand what you want to do."
Xiao Yu nodded: "Yes, I want to reproduce this scene now, I want to explore the origin of the universe we are in. Yes, by now, with our technology, we have a lot of Evidence to prove that the universe is a sphere at the four-dimensional level, but ... we still do n’t have the most direct evidence, right? I want to start a long voyage again, which will take millions of years. Take a space voyage. This thing Too big, I can't do it myself. I need you to cooperate with me. "
"The universe's observable radius is 13.7 billion light-years. Our fastest speed at this moment can already reach 2,000 times the speed of light. This means that it takes at least 680 to reach the end of the universe from us. 150,000 years. But one thing is very important. The figure of 13.7 billion light-years is only an observable range. Outside this figure, what form is the universe, what is there, and what is it like? We do n’t know about the environment. Even if we calculate in different directions and merge at the end, we conservatively estimate that it will take more than 10 million years.
Ruto murmured,
This, this still It was a magnificent journey. "
If the universe really looks like Xiao Yu's conjecture, it is a sphere at the four-dimensional level, then the universe has no so-called center, or any place in the universe is the center. 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 universe is sailing, it's the same everywhere.
"Combined with the theory I said before." Xiao Yu said, "The speed of light is the upper limit of this universe, and our super-light speed detection methods cannot detect such a long distance. Then, the age of the universe is 137 In billion years, our cognitive limit is also a radius of 13.7 billion light years. All information beyond this range is unknown to us. Unknown means superposition, and the conditions there, for us to come It is uncertain. So ... I want to detect things outside the visible universe. A voyage around the universe is of great significance to us. As long as we can succeed, then we will see the origin of this universe. We will have nothing to hinder Entering the eighth level of civilization or higher, we will truly become the pinnacle of this universe. "
"If all goes well ..." Ruto muttered to himself, with a look of confusion in his eyes, he seemed to have fallen into a fantasy: "If it goes well, we who walk away from us will be about ten million After a few years, we will meet at a place about 27 billion light-years away from here. But there are too many changes in it, and we are likely to lose contact forever and never find each other again. Alas, it ’s better to decide where we want to meet Here, in this flying kite galaxy, but in that case, we will need more than 20 million years and the range will reach more than 50 billion light years. "
"It doesn't matter where we want to meet." Xiao Yu said, "It's not even important that we lose contact forever. This is a path full of thorns and truth-seeking. It is likely to be full on this path. Danger and death. I have even prepared to die on this road. I think ... our pioneer of human civilization, the navigator named Magellan, must be in the mood when he decides to go to sea. Like me. "
"Yes, as long as you can find the origin of this universe, see the true face of this universe, the life of an individual, or the rise and fall of a civilization, it really does not matter." Ruto said, "Very well, you have Successfully persuaded me, and I will fully support you. However, we are not in charge of our civilization. How to implement this matter, you have to discuss with Ares. "
"No need to discuss, I agree with this matter." Ares's image also appeared here at this time, "I have absolute confidence that our people will agree with this matter. We are making history, we The future is being created. Although I am not a scientist, I also understand the significance of this matter. "
"Very good." Xiao Yu said with a smile. "It is my honor to have you accompany me on this thorny road. Ares, Ruto, thank you."
"Don't thank us," said Aris. "We should thank you. Xiao Yu, thank you for giving us the qualification to embark on this path. This is something I have never dared to imagine before."
"We are comrades in arms, aren't we?" Xiao Yu said. Then they looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"It's just ... we probably don't see the day when success comes." Ares said, "Although our life technology is advanced, although we claim 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 universe's limit to the intelligent life of the group. In the future, our children and grandchildren may meet us on your behalf. "
"The inheritance of life is so wonderful ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Xiao Yu said," Your will die, but your spirit will continue forever. At our level, there seems to be nothing to fear between life and death. "
Several people smiled again.
"We need to do some preparations. We must deduce what may be encountered during the voyage, and then make as thorough a preparation as possible. At the same time, we also need to develop some ways to find each other after the voyage ... Alas, there are a lot of things that need to be prepared, so let's set the start time of the voyage to a hundred years later. "
"Okay, a hundred years later."
Xiao Yu and Shenzhou and Pegasus civilizations are undoubtedly powerful, but in the face of the vastness of the universe, they are still a bit small. It is only hundreds of thousands of years since Xiao Yu was born. Xiao Yu now spends at least 10 million years on this unprecedented great journey.
The vastness of the universe will be displayed in full in front of Xiao Yu. No one knows what will happen on this way and what weird situation will be. But Xiao Yu decided to set out.
"What I have pursued in my life is nothing more than these few things." Xiao Yu muttered to himself, "Looking for Chen Mo and exploring the unknown. Everything else is integrated into these two biggest goals. For For me, even if we die on the road of exploration, it may be a good thing. "
"Goodbye my friends, and look forward to our reunion ten million years later ... bye bye, bye." (To be continued ...)
