Long Xinglv nodded slightly and took over. "That's right. So as long as vacuum zero-point energy keeps being extracted and used, Vacuum Decay is bound to appear. And the information we received from the Cosmic Civilization tells us that where it appears is a kind of true cosmic random number."
"Where Vacuum Decay appears is completely truly random. The Vacuum Decay caused by our extraction of vacuum zero-point energy might appear hundreds of millions or tens of billions of light-years away, or it might appear inside our ship, or outside it."
As their research into vacuum zero-point energy deepened, humanity also obtained a great deal of related information—such as Vacuum Decay, one of the Cosmic Disasters that various civilizations had been talking about for who knew how many years.
Combining the information they had obtained all the way here on The Great Voyage with his research insights into vacuum zero-point energy, Long Xinglv believed that the truly random appearance of vacuum zero-point energy was one of the reasons Level Seven Civilizations had perished.
It was what he had just said—"appearing inside the ship or outside it." Since the location where Vacuum Decay appeared was completely random, then when it appeared, its initial decay range might be a tiny point, or it might be a region spanning hundreds or even hundreds of thousands of light-years.
If a Level Seven Civilization happened to be within the range of a suddenly appearing Vacuum Decay, then it was just out of luck.
Of course, because the space occupied by a Level Seven Civilization fleet was vastly different compared with the size of the entire universe, the probability of this was extremely small, almost zero—but not zero.
Realizing all this, Long Xinglv sighed. "No wonder those Level Seven Civilizations wanted to set up some Vacuum
