Chapter 783: The Sigh of the Immortal Palace's Alien
Lu Yuan stood on the highest observation platform, looking at the black hole through the reinforced glass.
It's pitch black there. In the visible light band, nothing can be seen. Even light is completely swallowed up and cannot escape. But if you use a radio telescope, you will find that the black hole is constantly emitting X-rays.
That is truly a science fiction-level celestial body, hidden in the center of the city, acting as the gravity source of the entire starry sky port. It is really hard to imagine this power of picking stars and embracing the moon unless you see it with your own eyes.
"My dear seniors, I have already taken the legacy! What I have before me now is a super small black hole!"
Lu Yuan transmitted the scene he saw back through the Immortal Palace.
At the same time, a button in the control room was pressed.
Artificial intelligence threw some stones into the black hole, and under the influence of gravity, the stones fell rapidly.
As the black hole draws closer, spacetime groans, stretched and twisted. The fragments themselves begin to deform, their front and back ends experiencing different gravitational pulls, stretching them endlessly like taffy—a process known as spaghettification.
Matter compressed to the extreme runs at a speed close to the speed of light, and the particles collide and rub violently, converting gravitational potential energy into unimaginable heat and radiation.
This is the so-called "gamma-ray burst". The more matter is put in, the stronger the gamma-ray burst will be, and it will eventually become a cosmic-level killer weapon!
"The technology of the sixth-level peak civilization..." The aliens in the Immortal Palace widened their eyes and sighed.
This is really like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. The strongest among them, the "Crystal Concrete Civilization", is only at the peak level of the fifth-level civilization, which is similar to the current Green City.
As for the highest-ranking Kamedi civilization, although it briefly reached level six, there is still a gap between level six civilizations. They are really a long way from the "era civilization."
"I really want to see this star port myself..." the crystal man sighed, "We can come here after the disaster of the era ends and we gain freedom. I hope it won't be destroyed by war."
"But if I lose, then I'll just be free... and put an end to it all."
"You can't say that!" another old snakeman retorted, "In the past, we were just the caretakers of the warp point, living in a muddle every day."
"But this time we are the managers of the Inhuman Foundation, and we have hope every day!"
"Haha, that's true." The big crystal man laughed, "I'm busy every day and don't have time to reflect on life!"
Prince Jin Bot of Lanpeng was also excited when he saw this starry sky port.
This is the real interstellar civilization!
"Once the epochal disaster is over, we, the Lanpeng people, will also embark on a new journey!"
From a technical perspective, the process of separating the Blue Peng people and the monsters has gradually matured.
However, after discussions within the Lanpeng civilization, they decided to assimilate this "monster" as their trump card for future development.
What's more, they really have to be at the warp point, serving as the Inhuman Foundation's logistics staff, otherwise these few people alone cannot manage the entire foundation.
Times are indeed different from the past, and everyone is more confident than before.
Lu Yuan walked around the observation platform, stopping and starting, and gave everyone an introduction. In fact, he didn't recognize many of the devices at all, so he could only mention them briefly, but it still made people excited.
He changed the subject and said, "I think the greatest legacy of this Star Port is actually the Encyclopedia of Civilization. Peak civilizations also have a legacy. The Encyclopedia of Civilization integrates most of the world's technology and encompasses the history of a large number of civilizations."
Starting from the sixth level of civilization, you need to cultivate an omnipotent person and travel the world.
The so-called "Encyclopedia" should be written by these "almighty people".
"I also read about your civilization in this book..."
"Oh, what does the sixth-level civilization think of us?"
Everyone was really interested, even the old cat's eyes were shining and he was excited.
It really wants to know which civilization it comes from.
Lu Yuan pulled out the data and read aloud: [Seventh Era, Crystal Concrete Civilization, Level Five Civilization, Silicon-based Lifeforms. Birthplace: Eastern Continent, Great Crystal Rift. This civilization occupies the best psychic crystal veins on Pangu Continent. This civilization's personalities are relatively stable, with a general obsession with cleanliness and a penchant for hoarding wealth.]
The Great Crystal People were stunned. Did the Peak Civilization really say this about us? Universal mysophobia?
But the other strangers just laughed, saying, "You will be humiliated one day too!"
[The racial talents are longevity and a private library, but the reproductive capacity is low. The population is approximately 7.8 million.]
[At the end of the Seventh Era, the Crystal Concrete Civilization and the Gear Civilization reached a deal, and the main body of the civilization left Pangu Continent.]
[Its main achievement: high-precision crystal lens... (a lot of information)]
I have to admit that the information about the fifth-level civilization is recorded quite completely in this encyclopedia.
Lu Yuan took a closer look and saw that the Crystal Concrete Civilization had made 63 contributions, which was definitely an amazing civilization!
[As of the end of the Seventh Era, there were thirty-seven members of the Crystal Concrete Civilization located at the warp point of the Pangaea Continent, guarding this place for a long time.]
There is also a photo attached at the back.
Thirty-seven crystal people stood in a row, full of confidence.
At that time, the disaster had not yet happened and they were optimistic.
Another line was added at the end, possibly a later addition: [By the end of the Eighth Era, the Crystal Concrete Civilization had six surviving Inhumans. Investigation revealed that they had buried themselves in the earth and, through deep sleep, had survived an entire era.]
Six crystal people stood in a row, expressionless and covered in dust.
There is no such thing as general mysophobia.
As the administrator, Lu Yuan added the final line: [As of the 801st year of the Ninth Era, three members of the Crystal Concrete Civilization still survive.]
"Three seniors, why don't you take a photo as a souvenir?"
The three crystal people looked at this information and were suddenly stunned and speechless.
There was a faint emotion brewing in my chest.
Surprise? Anxiety?
Emotion? Sadness?
Hard to describe.
Their memories have long been in a mess, and they don't even remember their own names.
But now, suddenly seeing the message of my own civilization, the emotions surged like waves.
"Okay... okay, they left with the Gear Civilization... okay..."
"But many of our companions...died."
The big crystal man's voice was trembling. He looked at the thirty-seven bright and handsome companions in the photo. Now, there were only three old people left.
He couldn't help but burst into tears.
The other strangers also felt the same way, but they could not say anything to comfort them.
Aren't they the same?
"Seniors, do you need me to help you find some specific information? Just give me a few details and I can search for it."
The other three strangers were both excited and nervous.
After a long silence, they all refused!
The Crystal Concrete Civilization itself is a powerful level five civilization, so it is normal for it to have a good ending.
But the other aliens actually only come from level four civilization.
Coming to this "warp point" to do hard labor is for the sake of one's own civilization, so that one can escape with a powerful civilization.
They themselves are just bargaining chips.
"Forget it, let's not look at it. If I don't look at it, I'll still miss it. But if I look at it, what's the point? Compared to the peak civilization, what are we?"
"What if I see a bad ending and have a mental breakdown..." The old snake man spit out his scarlet tongue, looking lacking in confidence.
The other batman nodded and said, "Well, that's right. How long have we lost our memories? What the past civilization was like has nothing to do with us. At most, it's just a home from the past."
Home, this word, is so haunting that the old bat seems to be lost in thought, as if his mind has emptied.
The old cat was convinced and wagged its tail a few times. "My current state is the best. Even if they knew my civilization was still alive, what would it matter? All our efforts have been spent in this era. Even if they return, it will only be related by genes, not by culture."
It seemed to strengthen its confidence: "That's right! There are so many civilizations that are genetically related, so just one or two won't make a difference."
Lu Yuan could understand the anxiety of these old men and secretly looked it up.
There are a full 500,000 "cat civilizations" that have existed since the Fifth Era, but there are not many level 4 civilizations and above, which have been reduced to 3,000.
The endings of these cat civilizations were both good and bad. Most of them became extinct, a small number became aliens, and a very small number successfully escaped.
As for whether the second generation of civilization will return, that is something we really don’t know…
"The old cat can't figure out which civilization it belongs to anyway, so I'll just pick a few civilizations with good endings and fool it."
"Well, other aliens deal with it this way."
"If they want to see it, I'll doctor it a little, put some nice words on it, and then send it to them. They can even tell I'm doctoring it, but so what? It doesn't matter whether it's real or not."
This may be what is called a "white" lie.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan had an inexplicable inspiration: In the idealistic world, what is the boundary between truth and falsehood? What is the connection between spirit and matter?
The so-called seven emotions and six desires, joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire, are innate and everyone has them, but if you want to achieve great things, you more or less need some higher-level spiritual attributes.
Some people need faith, some people hypnotize themselves, and some people do things even though they know it’s impossible…
Lu Yuan suddenly thought of Pangu, the powerful man who opened up the Pangu Continent.
"Perhaps the essence of 'conceptual ability' is actually something left behind by Pangu. We are all part of Pangu and are naturally affected by certain rules."
This inspiration flashed through his mind like lightning. When Lu Yuan wanted to explore it carefully, he found that there was a layer of fog covering the truth.
He was startled and quickly sealed this brief memory, waiting to dig it out slowly later.
After this episode, Lu Yuan saw several coffin-like objects near the "event horizon" of the black hole.
That should be the so-called cage that imprisons the ghost. The "event horizon" is the curved boundary of space-time, where the speed of time flows is almost zero.
Unfortunately, all the ghosts were imprisoned in the Boundless Realm, so these coffins were empty.
In addition, there is the so-called "Central Treasury". Lu Yuan grinned. Mortal bodies must not get close to a black hole, otherwise they will be crushed directly.
"AI, how should I get the property in the treasury?"
"Central Artificial Intelligence, the Spirit of the Times, dedicated to serving you!" A light appeared beside him.
"Greetings, Your Excellency the Governor! The treasury contains: 1.113 billion tons of antimatter, 98.1% of which is positrons, along with a small amount of antiprotons and antineutrons. This matter cannot be touched directly and can only be extracted through the Alpha Space Tunnel in the Time Fortress."
"21.91 billion tons of high-pressure metallic hydrogen."
"988.21 billion tons of high-density electron degenerate state material."
"782.2 billion tons of strong matter. The above three substances can be touched, but at absolute zero, they will cause damage to the human body."
Lu Yuan was stunned. It turned out that the so-called "property" was all material wealth, which was of little use to him!
The heart of the greedy demon was chilled.
Moreover, the so-called "strong matter material" was actually produced through black holes, which gave him a sense of sudden enlightenment.
"I need to obtain the knowledge and the wealth related to the epochal disaster, which is kept in the central treasury."
"I don't have sufficient authority to answer," the AI said. "Living forms cannot enter the central treasury. You can enter through your 'thinking form' and search for yourself."
"Currently, the time flow rate in the black hole's central treasury is one ten-thousandth of that in the normal world. For every day you spend inside, ten thousand days will have passed outside. I suggest you use the thought acceleration system to speed up your thinking before entering."
"Okay..." Lu Yuan suddenly thought of a large group of leaders trapped in the first two levels. If he stayed near the black hole for a day, wouldn't those leaders starve to death?
He quickly called out to the AI: "After one day of Pangaea time, you must release them all. There's no need to erase their memories; they haven't gained any knowledge."
He received the inheritance so quickly, in less than an hour.
So he asked the AI to carry out the order after a day.
The AI said, "The order has been received."
"It must be reminded that the current stability of the central black hole is 98.27%, and sufficient matter needs to be added to ensure the stability of the black hole."
"Please be civilized and replenish your supplies in time."
Black holes evaporate continuously, and the smaller the mass, the faster the evaporation rate.
This black hole is naturally of the smallest class, requiring regular replenishment of matter to maintain its lifespan. After an epoch, it is indeed less stable.
"Currently, 45.21% of the equipment in the city is in a state of minimum maintenance, 32.1% is in normal working order, and the remaining equipment cannot be connected to the AI and is suspected to be completely damaged. Please arrange for personnel to be stationed as soon as possible to repair the damaged equipment."
