The Path Toward Heaven Chapter 46: The greatest work of the creator

To disappear into the darkness does not mean that you are dead.

In fact, none of the stars in this universe have really died, but just like the star of the 857 galaxy, the surface or the outer space a little closer to it is blocked by the dark spores of dust. Those light and heat gradually accumulate in the confined space, and I don't know when it will gush out.

"This is a slow process. There is no need to worry about star collapse in a short period of time. In addition, the star's insufficient light will cause the temperature in the galaxy to drop, which will be troublesome for lower civilizations. Fortunately, humans There is no need to worry about these issues now." Shen Yunbu's voice rang from the battleship.

At this time, the battleship Jiaowei is millions of kilometers away, relying on the micro-torsion rate hollow communication technology, there will be no delay in the dialogue.

"It's just a spore?" Jing Jiu asked.

The amount of organic matter in the universe is relatively small. Why are there so many spores that are enough to block the 857 star and the stars in front?

He thinks those black motes are a little weird.

Shen Yunjian said: "The concentration of the sea of ​​dark matter cannot reduce the temperature of the star for the time being, but it slows the speed of photons and other particles a lot, so it will become darker."

This explanation has some truth, but it is not enough to convince Jing Jiu that he is going to ask something more, but the battleship Lieyang shakes slightly and begins to slow down.

The point-like battleship Jiaowei in the distant universe began to slow down at the same time, and then changed course in a certain direction.

"Bypassing the Big Aram Black Hole, you will go to the beach and be prepared." After saying this, Shen Yunjian turned off the intercom.

After passing through the torsion hole, bypassing the extremely wide range of influence, the Big Aries black hole that has become a myth in the Galaxy Alliance, came to a corner of the local galaxy group.

The universe is still extremely dark, and distant stars are hard to see in the endless void ocean.

There was a brilliant starry sky in front of the two warships.

The reconnaissance fleet of Starlink Fleet is performing missions here.

More than 7,000 warships are in the universe, facing the dark world far away, looking like countless people holding surfboards and preparing to rush into the sea.

The spores sprayed by the life that is not infiltrated are the medium, and the self-proliferation speed of the sea of ​​dark matter can be described as extremely slow compared with the speed of the celestial bodies in the universe, and there is no spray. Then these warships are located on the shore, but I don’t know how far they are from the front coastline.

It can be seen that the military is very clear about the scope of the Sea of ​​Dark Objects.

The level of science and technology of the Galaxy Alliance has not been able to observe the existence of dark matter, let alone capture, so how did humans judge it?

The invisible light curtain hangs down from the floor-to-ceiling windows, thickening at a rapid rate, forming an extremely complex three-dimensional star map.

Those dim spots are stars, those densely packed bright spots are warships, and those dark spaces are the sea of ​​dark matter.

Jing Jiu quietly looked at the star map, and was not bothered by this question, because he knew the answer when he was at the base.

Humans cannot observe the dark matter, so they cannot know where the boundary of the sea of ​​dark matter is, but they can observe indirectly through the infiltrated life forms.

Those life forms will be released into the universe, where they begin to be infiltrated, it shows where the sea of ​​dark matter has been submerged.

In a sense, this method is very similar to the sonar used by ancient humans, and those living bodies are sound waves.

Of course, these lives can also be understood as scouts, but they are performing missions with no return.

All life forms that are infiltrated will become monsters, so the selection conditions for this type of life form are very strict. It is necessary to ensure that they can survive in a vacuum for a long enough period of time, and to ensure that they do not become monsters. It will be too strong, otherwise the Sea of ​​Dark Things will expand faster and faster with these lives.

Those life scouts can't be humans—again, this has nothing to do with humanitarianism, but they can't.

These conditions also directly exclude beasts and birds.

Those microorganisms and viruses are too small, and they are easily killed by cosmic rays. They are also difficult to clean up after becoming blood thumbs, and they cannot be selected.

So logically speaking, plants have become the best choice. Many early human experiments have proved that living plants survive for a period of time in the universe, and mosses and certain algae survive longer. The problem is that it takes the longest time for plants to be infiltrated by the sea of ​​dark objects... This is completely inconsistent with "reconnaissance". The need for soldiers. Dead organic matter, such as fat alone, will also be infiltrated by the sea of ​​dark matter, and there is no threat, but it has a similar problem with plants, that is, it is difficult to observe its changes in a short time. When humans observe that they are infiltrated, the sea of ​​dark matter has already surrounded the warship. What's the point?

In order to find the most suitable life scouts to detect the boundary of the sea of ​​dark objects, scientists and even ordinary people of the past generations gave full play to their imagination and put forward countless solutions, some of which are extremely weird and do not know their origins, such as E. coli. Some programs sound reasonable but they are just stereotypes, such as guinea pigs, and some programs are indeed very operative, such as maggots, but they still failed in the experiment. Even the most vigorous maggots cannot withstand the low temperature. Conversion between and high fever.

In the end, humans were forced to choose a species of life that most humans hate and are unwilling to deal with, and that is the cockroach.

The cockroach.

The tenacity and strange characteristics of life like cockroaches do not need to be repeated here.

Scientists have used multiple rounds of experiments to prove that no better candidate can be found. The military finally selected a cockroach that is a special product on a certain planet as a scout.

Unfortunately, even if it has been officially certified and started to play a more important role in human history than in the past tens of thousands of years, the image of cockroaches has not improved. Even the officers and soldiers of the Star Fleet were reluctant to mention this "comrade-in-arms", and were transferred to the reconnaissance warship to release the cockroach, which became the most severe form of military discipline punishment.

……

……

The expansion of the sea of ​​dark matter is smooth, and there is no need to worry about a channel suddenly emerging from it, so in fact, humans do not need to release too many cockroaches to complete the work of delimitation. According to the usual three-level defense standard, if one cockroach is dropped every 10,000 kilometers, this universe only needs... 7,000 warships to drop 700 billion cockroaches.

It sounds like a lot, but it's really not a lot. Cockroaches have a very strong reproductive ability, and they can be easily and continuously supplied.

Thank the gods.

The real trouble is the need to implant microchips in each cockroach's body for remote control, observation and ultimate destruction.

This is thanks to the girl in the yukata by the hot spring, she is best at this kind of thing, and it only took a short time to solve the problem.

If 700 billion cockroaches appeared at the same time, it would be the most violent and dense rain of insects in the world. Fortunately, the infinite space completely dilutes this possibility.

In the universe, these bugs are the tiniest point. Except for remote monitoring equipment, people on the battleship can't see their existence at all.

Jing Jiu's gaze passed through the floor-to-ceiling windows and fell into the depths of the universe, and a very dim flame suddenly flashed in the depths of his eyes.

A cockroach encountered a sea of ​​dark objects and was soon infested, and the microchip exploded.

No one cares about the death of a bug, but the death of this bug is like a superphase nuclear bomb of the largest equivalent exploding in the universe, with invisible shock waves oscillating everywhere.

Seven thousand warships withdrew at the same time, like seaside tourists who were scared by the tide.

……

……

The retreating warship maintained a relatively stable speed, like leaves floating in the breeze.

The officers and soldiers on the battleship were used to this process, and did not feel nervous, but a little excited.

Most of the monitoring equipment was aimed at the bug’s burial place, and tens of millions of people looked towards it.

There is a very ordinary star system in that cosmic space. It was not until a few years ago that the Academy of Sciences inferred its submergence time that this star system had its own name-the long-foot galaxy.

The galaxy is getting darker, and the color of the star is getting lighter and then darker.

The officers and soldiers of the Starlink Fleet sail and live in the universe all year round, and have seen countless magnificent scenes of the universe, but not many people have seen this kind of concrete picture of stars being swallowed by the sea of ​​dark matter. The communication system of the entire fleet is quiet, scientists from the Alliance Academy of Sciences and various research institutes are nervously preparing to collect data, and tens of millions of officers and soldiers wait for the arrival of the last moment with complex emotions.

I don’t know how long it took for the star to completely dim. It’s not that it really no longer emits light, nor is it because of the spores, but because it was blocked by the strange existence of the sea of ​​dark matter.了光。 The light.

More than 7,000 warships were quiet as if tourists were shocked by the sea, as if countless inaudible sighs were sounding.

At this moment, a sigh sounded in the fleet's communication system.

Countless surveillance devices are aimed at somewhere in the universe.

Tens of millions of officers and soldiers also looked at that place.

They can't see there, but they know who is there.

The battleship Lieyang and the battleship Jiaowei are facing the sea of ​​dark matter, and two people are standing in the space at the intersection of the hull extension line.

"If there is a creator, the cockroach must be his greatest work."

Shen Yunbu looked at the sea of ​​dark objects in the distance and said: "Although my favorite is the water bear, it is too small to be observed and controlled remotely."

Jing Jiu said: "It's a human being."

Shen Yunbu thought for a while and found that his statement made sense.

Since the birth of mankind, I don’t know how many disasters, floods, earthquakes, wars, and viruses have encountered, but they still survived.

This civilization has unimaginable resilience. Every time it looks destroyed, it can be reborn from the ashes—ancient civilization is a new product after a catastrophe.

When the sea of ​​dark matter was about to swallow everything~IndoMTL.com~The **** ignited countless stars. The galaxy group was swept away by an energy storm. The traces of radiation that can be observed now prove that How terrible the storm is. Regardless of the Stargate, the Qianjin No. 2 base or the Topaz No. 3 planet, these more than a hundred spare planets are not within the burning range of the star, and they are still being washed by those energy storms. The people who hid under these planets and those who were in the fleet were all dead. Who would have thought that human beings could reappear. Except for the role played by that person, I have to say that human beings are really strong lives like cockroaches.

Now that countless stars are disappearing, human beings are still alive, and they can still be seen as landscapes.

Shen Yun flicked his fingers and flicked out a wine ball from the pot, opened his mouth to bite off half, looked at the disappearing star, and said: "It's so beautiful."

Jing Jiu gave a hum.
