But things had not yet reached a dead end.
The two Great Voyage Organizations, eighty-four civilizations, had done almost everything needed as a prerequisite for finding the correct answer, yet even so, the research remained unimaginably difficult.
But no one was discouraged.
The moment they set foot on The Great Voyage Road, there had been no way back.
In truth, the civilizations that had made it this far had not made no progress at all. At the very least, they had gone from "absolutely impossible" to "possible."
And over these one hundred thousand years, all the work they had done could be summed up as "finding that possibility."
Perhaps trial and error, the method of exhaustion, had finally worked. In the one hundred and tenth thousandth year after they burned the boats, everyone finally saw the first glimmer of victory.
That glimmer came from the Awakener Civilization, which, during one Membrane Collision Experiment, obtained a set of energy reactions far beyond any previous experiment.
The Awakener Civilization called it a great success. They believed that this was the kind of energy reaction Vacuum Zero-Point Energy should have, matching the energy reaction predicted by Vacuum Zero-Point Energy theory.
The news from the Awakener Civilization was like a ray of dawn in the darkness, stirring all the scientists of every civilization into excitement. Because of this, the various civilizations hurriedly convened an exchange conference, and the Awakener Civilization shared its experiment at the meeting as well.
After the meeting, a large number of civilizations began replicating the experiment according to the method provided by the Awakener Civilization.
If they could also obtain the same result as the Awakener Civilization, that would prove the Awakener Civilization was correct, because the result could be reproduced, satisfying the requirements of science.
Unfortunately, the Awakener Civilization's
