So, how shocking is what you see now? It's beyond imagination!
The Chinese civilization is certainly good, but no matter how wonderful it is, it is just a civilization that has just crossed the threshold of the seventh-level civilization; there are about 10,000 such civilizations in the Universe Civilization Alliance—this number will only increase year by year! After all, civilization is not about a single person. In theory, a civilization can exist forever, with endless descendants - this is the power of a civilization.
In principle, a civilization is inherently capable of immortality, as long as its decisions are not too useless.
Of course, no matter how many advanced (seventh-level civilization and above) civilizations there are, it is also a very happy thing that one's own civilization can cross the threshold of seventh-level civilization. Especially since Chinese civilization has achieved such achievements in just a short period of ten thousand years, that is certainly something to be proud of!
Therefore, both ordinary Chinese citizens and imperial princes, emperors, etc. are all proud of this. But right now, looking at the world in front of me, people have lost the ability to think!
Is that a galaxy in front of me? Or city? Or a palace?
Generally speaking, in the ground era, what we think of as a city is a concentrated living area on the ground; but in the primary interstellar era, a planet is a city; and when the Chinese civilization enters the fifth-level civilization or even the sixth-level civilization, A planet, a galaxy, even a space continent or even a starry sky continent is a city! Such a city has exceeded ordinary imagination!
But what about now?
Looking ahead, there is a brilliant scene, wandering in the universe all year round. Zhang Yingxiu can see at the first glance that the "existence" in front is almost equivalent to a galaxy slightly smaller than the Milky Way! But this galaxy is extraordinary, because it is not made up of stars, nebulae, or various celestial bodies; it is made up of huge "temples"!
These are space continents that need to be calculated in light years - and these space continents do not exist alone, there are many smaller space continents superimposed above and below them; these space continents are stacked together like a layer cake. A three-dimensional layer cake is formed. But the fillings of these mille-feuille pancakes are not ordinary, their fillings are stars! Even entire star systems!
And these stars are not ordinary stars. These stars are colorful, not only the dark red, red, orange, yellow, white and blue lights that are common in the universe, but also green, golden, ruby red, azure, etc. Deep blue and so on, these stars are actually used as "lanterns"! And the brightness and size of the stars here. Completely different from what exists in nature! Why? Because almost all the stars here are man-made!
In fact, in the Grand Alliance of Universal Civilizations, nuclear fusion is still the main source of civilian energy; only military technology, etc., will use other forms of energy. Just like in China now, although the latest form of energy is photon energy, the society still uses old-fashioned electricity!
The reason is simple, low cost! The technical threshold is low! Simple operation and maintenance, etc. Only military technology will use the latest photon energy technology; or some high-tech technologies that must use photon energy will be used.
The stars here are not only used for lighting, but are also the main source of energy for these "temples".
Such a space continent about ten light years away. There are more than a thousand layers up and down, requiring at least one hundred billion stars! If we calculate the materials needed to create such a space continent, we would basically dismantle the Milky Way and only be able to build about ten such space continents!
Such a huge building is only part of the miracle in front of you! Thousands of these space continents are suspended in space, and they have actually formed an artificial galaxy and a complete technological world. Here, most are man-made objects. Of course there are normal space buildings between these huge "temples", all of it. Make this place a technological paradise!
"Every seventh-level civilization and above will try to build such a city of their own! And the entire galaxy is a big city! The entire galaxy, or this huge city. Her name is: Light of Civilization! Originally This refers specifically to the central starry sky city; but now the central starry sky city has been renamed: Capital of Civilization
However, so far, only more than 70% of the seventh-level civilizations have built their own cities. Because everything here can only be imported from the outside, the cost is extremely high, and countless social resources must be used.
But only if such a giant space city is successfully built. Only then can we be regarded as an advanced civilization truly recognized by the entire universe! ”
Green Alva Xian stood next to Zhang Yingxiu with a calm tone; but inexplicably, Zhang Yingxiu heard challenge and contempt from it!
The tone here is analyzed: Although your Chinese civilization seems to be a seventh-level civilization, it has developed too fast and has insufficient foundation. If you want to build a small wormhole, you will have to use the power of the whole country; if you want to build such a huge wormhole The giant space city. Dream on! Since you cannot build such a huge space city, you can only be a low-level civilization, a low-level civilization...
Zhang Yingxiu remained silent for the time being; sometimes speaking out would make people look down upon her even more! Yes, we really can’t build such a giant space city now! This is reality, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about; but Rome was not built in a day, and China will definitely have its own giant space city in the future.
The giant space city is not a simple, enlarged version of the space continent; if it is just a flat space continent, with China's current technology, it is completely feasible to build a space continent that is ten light-years in size - of course, the consumption involved will definitely make it Chinese civilization grimaced in pain. But the construction of a huge space city involves countless space continents stacked together, and countless stars and planets mixed in. The construction difficulty here is simply incomparable!
It's like ordinary workers are the same as the construction elites of high-rise buildings; ordinary workers can level the ground, and in theory they can level the entire planet; but now you ask them to build a "high-rise" that is elevated , and like layers of eggshells, the planet is wrapped in layers, and wrapped in hundreds and thousands of layers! How is this possible!
The current Chinese civilization is like that ordinary construction worker, and building a giant space city is like building eggshells that wrap the planet - these eggshells must be very strong, and there must be various fillings in the middle!
Therefore, it is almost impossible for China to build such a giant space city! Why almost? Because there is another possibility - hiring other civilizations to help with construction, but what about the cost... Hey, it's enough for you to pay back tens of thousands of years!
In fact, in the process of building such a giant space city, a civilization certainly cannot bear all the technologies - there are many necessary technologies that still need to seek foreign aid; in fact, building a giant star city is not only a symbol of the appearance of civilization, but also a symbol of civilization. It is a symbol of technical power!
If a civilization can completely rely on its own strength, or rely mostly on its own strength to complete the construction of a giant city in the starry sky, it at least shows that the technological level of this civilization is high enough and its technology is comprehensively developed! In a sense, the most direct way to become a true seventh-level civilization recognized by all civilizations is to build a giant city in the starry sky!
But China really does not have such ability for the time being! Even if you have such ability, you might as well use these resources to fully develop and build your own country! From this aspect, the construction of a giant city in the starry sky is also a manifestation of the rich material and technology of civilization! It’s so rich that I still can’t throw it all away!
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Yingxiucai suddenly shook his head, "For the time being, such a starry sky city is flashy to us; we have the time, energy, manpower, financial and material resources to build these face-saving projects, so why not care about the living issues of the domestic people! ”
"No, you're wrong to say that! But it's not my fault that you said that, because you have just arrived here and have not truly joined the arms of the Universal Civilization Alliance. Therefore, there are many things for you and your entire Chinese civilization. Don't know.
Do you think the Alliance of Universal Civilizations are all fools, just for the sake of so-called face-saving projects, demolishing a galaxy today and destroying another galaxy tomorrow just to build these cumbersome face-saving projects?
No, you are wrong! This is not only a face-saving project, nor a test of civilization, but also the maturity of technology. After our analysis and verification, if a civilization can build such a giant city in the sky, it will greatly shorten the development process of a civilization! Because the process of building such a starry city is a process of technological innovation, research and development, and breakthroughs! It is also the most excellent and effective stimulation method to digest and absorb everything in the past and develop the future!
And in building such a giant space city, if you want to allow such a huge building that completely violates the rules of nature to exist, you need a kind of technology - this is time technology! Of course, the time technology applied here is the most basic and can only be regarded as pseudo-time technology strictly speaking.
The complete use of space technology is simply not enough to support the existence of such a huge building!
Without time technology, during the movement of this behemoth, the different time flow rates in various places would cause tearing; it would eventually fall apart and then collapse. In other words, without time and technology, it would even be impossible to build such a behemoth!
If it were just space technology, only a single structure could be built. For example, a huge wormhole, or a flat world that can theoretically extend infinitely—such as your starry sky continent. But, once the two planes are superimposed, everything changes completely! At this time, only time technology can adjust this huge object! Otherwise, such a giant space city will inevitably collapse! The consequences would be disastrous. The entire alliance of cosmic civilizations may be swallowed by this huge black hole! "(To be continued...)
