Chapter 512 Heat Death

Such a massive change in rules will undoubtedly lead to an unprecedented cosmic spectacle - with the flagship fortress as the origin, the star field within a radius of 10,000 light years completely rioted at this moment! !

First of all, the speed of light constant, the most critical constant in the universe.

It can affect almost every aspect of the universe, from celestial bodies to dust, all of which are disturbed by it.

At the moment when this strange wave enveloped the starry sky, this parameter that has never changed since the birth of the universe showed some abnormalities.

It was like drinking fake wine, and it began to jump up and down without any warning.

Sometimes it accelerated to millions or even tens of millions of kilometers per second, and sometimes it slowed down to hundreds of meters or even tens of meters per second.

The speed of light that was fast and slow was scattered in the starry sky, forming a series of different light speed blocks of different sizes and shapes.

In the fast light speed block, the speed of light has even far exceeded 300,000 kilometers per second, which directly changed the fine structure constant, that is, the strength of the electromagnetic interaction force.

To be precise, it greatly reduced the electromagnetic interaction force.

This is undoubtedly a disaster.

From a microscopic point of view, atoms and molecules can no longer maintain their own existence and spontaneously disintegrate into more fragmented microscopic particles.

From a macroscopic point of view, the originally tightly bound matter began to dissipate without any signs and silently.

In the distance, in the starry sky that has not yet been impacted by the aftermath of the macro-electron bomb.

Countless giant scorpions gathered together and tried to launch a new round of offensive against the main battleship that suddenly stopped its offensive and hovered motionlessly in the starry sky.

Suddenly.

When the strange fluctuations came and the speed of light constant in this star field suddenly accelerated, the momentum of the scorpion group's forward rush suddenly stopped.

Groups of dense mist emerged around the giant scorpion, and at the same time, the dark purple strong interaction force armor began to disintegrate at a speed visible to the naked eye - the increase in the speed of light weakened the strong interaction force, and the armor formed by dense neutrons naturally could not maintain its original state.

Roar! !

A trace of pain flashed in the giant scorpion's scarlet eyes. It subconsciously twisted its body to try to save the dense armor on which it depended for survival.

But...

the moment it twisted its body, the special body formed by the combination of silicon and carbon atoms also collapsed.

Wow! ! !

But in the blink of an eye, this huge giant scorpion with a body length of more than 10,000 meters turned into a slowly spreading particle mist, dispersing in the starry sky.

The experience of the scorpion group is only an insignificant part of this spectacle.

More strange scenes still occurred on some stars and planets that survived by chance.

Needless to say, on the scale of the universe, the behemoths that are thousands or tens of thousands of kilometers are actually no different from giant scorpions. The moment the speed of light increases, they also quickly turn into countless misty particle mists.

Only stars and celestial bodies with larger mass are the protagonists of this show -

unlike stars and planets, they are actually a perfectly balanced body.

The gravity and the pressure of the internal core balance each other, allowing this nuclear fusion that can last for tens of billions of years to be maintained.

At the moment the rules changed, the originally dark red red dwarfs suddenly became brighter, surpassing the brightness of regular stars. As for regular main sequence stars, they changed towards giants and supergiants!

As they became brighter, their rotation speeds also kept accelerating.

Under the premise that the mass did not change, this change undoubtedly broke the balance that had been maintained inside the star for countless years.

So...

a supernova explosion appeared.

When the scorpion group and the planets turned into dust, the performance from the stars began!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the high-speed blocks moved rapidly, the starry sky was lit up with explosions that were enough to illuminate the entire galaxy group!

As for the low-speed blocks...

the scenes there were completely opposite to the high-speed blocks.

The reduction in the speed of light greatly increased the strong interaction force and the electromagnetic interaction force. Whether it was the scorpion group or the celestial body, they spontaneously collapsed inward at this moment, and extremely miniature neutron stars appeared in the starry sky.

Under the action of gravity, these neutron stars combined with each other and eventually formed low-speed black holes scattered in the starry sky!

These low-speed black holes run in the starry sky. When they touch the high-speed blocks, they will quickly disintegrate, and the matter and energy previously swallowed will burst out in an instant - this power is even several times stronger than the supernova explosion!

But...

the regular attack launched by Genesis Fortress from outside the cosmic bubble can never be limited to the single variable of the speed of light constant.

At the same time as the speed of light changes, a seemingly insignificant law that is actually the foundation of the universe has also changed.

Pi.

It started from a string of irrational numbers and continued to grow, approaching a nearby integer.

In the end, under the strange fluctuations from outside the cosmic bubble, it successfully became 4.

The circle, at this moment, became a square.

No, to be precise, at this moment, this star field no longer has the concept of the past circle.

This change in the law is also a catastrophic blow to the macroscopic and microscopic objects in the universe - the smooth organs in the giant scorpion's body suddenly appeared with sharp edges and corners, and before the fluctuating speed of light enveloped them, they were pierced by the edges and corners "growing" in the body.

As for the more macroscopic scene…

the original spherical and ellipsoidal appearances of the planets and stars gradually disappeared, replaced by square edges and corners, but this shape greatly destroyed the balance of the stars.

Undoubtedly, it further intensified the intensity of the starburst.

To put it bluntly, the changes in pi and the speed of light are actually presented by relying on external objects. If there are no microscopic particles and no macroscopic stars, these changes will not actually have any impact on the universe itself.

But!

When the strange fluctuations develop to the extreme, the most basic laws of the universe are quietly rewritten.

In the empty starry sky, a dazzling flame appeared out of thin air, but in the blink of an eye, the energy level of this flame soared from a tiny flame to a level far exceeding the explosion of a supernova.

But in the next second.

This dazzling flame went out without any warning, and the temperature in the starry sky dropped from billions of degrees Celsius to -273.14 degrees Celsius in an instant.

It is only half a step away from absolute zero.

The extremely powerful energy that was previously diffused in the starry sky dissipated in this instant!

The conservation of energy is broken!

In this star field with a radius of 10,000 light years, even the law of conservation of energy, which is unshakable, collapsed at this moment! !

Of course, this is only a phenomenon that occurs within a 10,000-light-year star field.

The vacuum zero-point energy from the Dirac Sea is like a reservoir that has burst its dam, pouring back into this small star field almost crazily.

Intense light and heat instantly filled this 10,000-light-year star field. Even though a series of basic laws such as the speed of light and pi have undergone fluctuating changes, the final outcome of this star field has not changed at all.

In just a few minutes, the entropy value in this 10,000-light-year star field has expanded rapidly, and the matter in the star field has also changed from order to disorder as the rules change rapidly.

Heat death has occurred.

All effective energy has been converted into heat energy, and even photons have been completely extinguished at this moment.

This 10,000-light-year star field has completely turned into a dead space without energy flow at this moment.

Theoretically, no matter and life can exist in this dead space.

The scorpion group cannot exist, and the three huge giant scorpions cannot exist even more.

But...

when this 10,000-light-year universe was extinguished, tens of thousands of golden fluorescent lights quietly lit up in this dark and deep dead space.

That was the main battleship of the peacekeeping fleet.

The brilliant golden light of the ship's shield completely isolated the surrounding universe that was in heat death, and the Genesis unit inside the starship, after executing the "003" command, locked all the rules of the ship firmly in their original form.

...

"The rule attack has ended."

"Genesis Fortress is in the final stage of closing, please wait patiently."

A cold electronic synthesized voice sounded in the command center, stimulating Xu Mingqi's fragile nerves that had not yet recovered.

He took two deep breaths, stood up with difficulty, moved to the porthole step by step, and looked out of the porthole.

Looking at the dark and desolate space without even a little starlight, Xu Mingqi shook his head helplessly.

This star field is dead.

Even if Genesis Fortress ends the rule attack now, even if the rules here return to normal, this starry sky is completely ruined.

Although the Human Union has not yet figured out the true source of this seemingly inexhaustible vacuum zero-point energy, the Human Union is still certain of one thing.

That is, the extraction of vacuum zero-point energy has a price.

When the vacuum zero-point energy of a universe is consumed excessively, the universe will fall into collapse again and completely disappear on the hyperspace membrane.

Similarly, when a piece of space in the universe bubble consumes a lot of vacuum zero-point energy...

this space will also fall into "collapse".

At that time, neither curvature navigation nor wormhole jump can operate normally in this dead space.

Accordingly, this place will become a real forbidden zone for advanced civilizations.

The deep darkness outside the porthole gradually faded, and the stars scattered from the distant starry sky, illuminating the starry sky that was losing its vitality again.

A slight movement sound came from the side, interrupting Xu Mingqi's meditation.

It was the movement of the ship-borne robots carrying the personnel on the ship - in the attack of the information flow, the personnel on the ship who had not yet fully awakened were being sent to the medical cabin for treatment one by one.

Suddenly.

"Go... go!"

An unclear voice came from the main control console at the back, followed by a series of clanging sounds: "I... I'm fine!"

"Just, just a little dizzy, you iron lump..."

"Don't get close to me!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Mingqi couldn't help but reveal a bit of surprise in his eyes. He turned and looked at the main control console: "General Fang?"

"Hey..."

Looking at Xu Mingqi standing pale by the porthole, Fang Yunsheng grinned: "Academician Xu, I didn't expect you to be alive!"

Xu Mingqi's face froze, and the caring words he had just organized were suddenly stuck in his throat.

"..."

God damn, he's still alive!

He's not bragging. According to the previous situation, even if everyone on the flagship fortress died, he might not die!

"What happened?" Fang Yunsheng didn't care about what he just said. He turned his head and looked around, his face slightly shocked. "Those giant scorpions..."

"We were attacked by information flow."

Xu Mingqi shrugged, bent his fingers and tapped the porthole beside him: "Fortunately, Genesis Fortress arrived in time, but those three Titan motherships..."

"Still crashed."

Fang Yunsheng's face sank, and a trace of grief flashed in his eyes.

Three secondary flagships were lost at once!

This was the first time in his fleet career that he had encountered such a situation. Not to mention him, I'm afraid that the entire human fleet rarely suffered such a degree of war damage.

From this, we can also see how terrifying the strength of those giant scorpions is!

"Is this... heat death?"

Fang Yunsheng suppressed the grief in his heart and looked in the direction of Xu Mingqi's finger, with an even more surprised look in his eyes: "Is Genesis Fortress serious this time?"

"Yes." Xu Mingqi nodded in affirmation, "As for the three giant scorpions... they should be dead."

"I can't imagine any creature that can survive such a blow."

Fang Yunsheng laughed dryly.

"Yeah..."

"It's already heat death, if it can still survive, it's too damn..."

The words haven't been finished.

"Beep-beep-beep-"

The harsh alarm sounded suddenly in the command center: "Warning! High-intensity information fluctuations detected!"

Accompanied by electronic synthesis sound, a comparison result of information entropy fluctuations popped up on the azure holographic interface.

[Similarity: 99.9%]

Looking at the information that popped up in the holographic interface, Fang Yunsheng was silent for a moment, and struggled to complete his unfinished words:

"... Weird."

...

Under the control of the ship-borne main brain, the jump engine of the flagship fortress issued a series of rumbling roars-the sequelae of the high-intensity rule attack finally appeared.

Although the heat death has just ended, the collapse and decline of this starry sky has begun.

Whether it is curvature navigation or high-dimensional jump, at this moment, any navigation method based on space technology has been hindered to varying degrees.

Fortunately, the degree of collapse is not serious.

After increasing the output power, the flagship fortress and the main battleship, which were shining with golden light, successfully broke free from this space quagmire.

As soon as they left this star field, a scene that they least wanted to see appeared in front of Xu Mingqi and Fang Yunsheng.

The leader of the giant scorpion, the strongest among the five giant scorpions, also showed his figure in a wave of increasingly strong information entropy fluctuations.

Although compared with the previous one, this giant scorpion obviously received a lot of trauma - the dark purple outer armor was almost completely peeled off, the broken tendons and skeleton were exposed naked in the starry sky, and the light green body fluid gushed out of it, and finally condensed into "dewdrops" under its own gravity, attached to its body surface.

But even so, it is still alive.

It gently blinked its only remaining scarlet eye, which was filled with hatred, anger...

and panic.

"Damn bug..."

Enemies are particularly jealous when they meet, and the giant scorpion is like this, and Fang Yunsheng is naturally the same.

He clenched his teeth and squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "How did this thing... survive?!"

There was also a hint of panic hidden in the extremely angry voice.

A creature that cannot be killed by the Genesis Fortress!

Since the birth of the Human Alliance, this is the only one!!

"I don't know..."

Xu Mingqi looked solemn and pressed the communication button in the holographic interface: "It..."

"What is its origin?"
