Technology Tree related to Negative Matter and Negative Energy; Technology Tree related to Dark Matter and Dark Energy!

Everyone present deeply memorized the short sentence from the Rhomboid Crystal. After learning about the classification of Low-level Civilization from the encounter with the Silver Mist Consciousness, humanity finally received information about the classification of civilization levels again.

For a developing civilization like humanity, such news is invaluable.

Although the two related Technology Tree described by the Rhomboid Crystal seem like science fiction to modern humans, and are no different from listening to gibberish, at least we have a concept of them.

"With such abundant Dark Matter technology, would Level Six Civilization Dark Matter that has mastered Dark Matter technology still face immense difficulties in its long-distance voyages?" a scientist remarked, his gaze becoming unfocused as his thoughts drifted to the vast starry sky and the boundless universe.

With current human travel technology, it would take decades to travel from one star to another, and even a thousand years wouldn't be enough to search a star field spanning hundreds of light-years.

Imagine Galactic Disk 100,000 light-years—how vast that would be! And crossing galaxies for millions of light-years would be an astronomical figure. It's hard to imagine what the Great Voyage would be like.

Everyone present remembered the encounter with the Awakeners. When the Awakeners brought humanity to this star system, the Strong Artificial Intelligence 'Invincible Great Treasure Sword' on the warship said that the warship's speed was 213.75 times the speed of light.

If other factors are not taken into account, at this speed, it would take approximately 9,345 years to cross from the Milky Way Galaxy to the Andromeda Galaxy.

Nearly ten thousand years, though a long time, shouldn't be much for Level Six Civilization, considering that even modern humans can live for over ten thousand years. However, things are not that simple. As the Rhomboid Crystal said, Level Six Civilization simply does not possess the ability to travel on a cosmic scale, and embarking on the Great Voyage is a last resort.

The Awakeners also stated frankly that without the Civilization Ruins, they wouldn't have been able to reach the Milky Way Galaxy so easily. This indicates that the Great Voyage is not simply a matter of long distances; there are many dangers in the Void, and that dark universe without stars is not as peaceful as people perceive when they look up at the stars.

It is quite possible that some places, just as the rules of Quantum Hyperdistance Communication, as described by the Rhomboid Crystal, have been modified, have been attacked by some kind of rule, and have become dangerous areas.

This is similar to the Dangerous Star Region of the Milky Way Galaxy marked on some star maps.

The Great Voyage is not Milky Way Galaxy. In the Milky Way Galaxy, some star charts are marked with information about Dangerous Star Region, which is only because civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy have explored them. However, no one draws star charts for the Great Voyage, because none of the civilizations that went out have returned. Even if the Precursor explored them, they couldn't inform the New Generation Civilization in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Finding a route entirely in the dark greatly increases the risk of accidentally entering a dangerous area and causing the destruction of civilization.

Moreover, wise people have long considered that the dangers are not limited to these presumed dangerous areas, but also include other civilizations, or other civilizations that have embarked on the Great Voyage.

None of the people present are stupid. If they had only come into contact with the Rhomboid Crystal, they might not have thought of these things. But before this, humanity had encountered the Awakeners, and the Awakeners happened to come from outside the Milky Way Galaxy.

In other words, the Awakeners is very likely a civilization that is currently on the Great Voyage.

The Milky Way Galaxy has its Precursor, the Triangulum Galaxy has its Awakeners, so what about the other galaxies? Any Level Six Civilization that discovers a hopeless reality could potentially embark on the Great Voyage.

If Awakeners from the Triangulum Galaxy have arrived in the Milky Way Galaxy, then what about the Large and Small Magellanic Cloud, the Milky Way Galaxy's two Satellite Galaxy? Could civilizations also have arrived in the Milky Way Galaxy from there? What about the Andromeda Galaxy? If a civilization there were to embark on the Great Voyage, would they first arrive in the Milky Way Galaxy, or would they depart directly from a certain route to that unknown future?

It's hard to say about the Andromeda Galaxy, but if the civilizations in the Large and Small Magellanic Cloud were to embark on the Great Voyage, they would probably choose the nearest Milky Way Galaxy, as their first stop. It's just unknown whether a Strong Force Level Six Civilization in a place as small as the Large and Small Magellanic Cloud would be qualified to undertake the Great Voyage.

"It's a pity that some information in the Rhomboid Crystal was lost, otherwise humanity would know the destination of the Great Voyage now, or at least the destination of the Precursor," Yue Yuan said.

Regardless of the circumstances, from this perspective, one of the dangers during the Great Voyage would inevitably be encountering civilizations from other galactic systems.

These civilizations embarking on the Great Voyage are like fleets belonging to different powers on the high seas; when they meet, war could break out at the slightest mishap.

Natural disasters and man-made calamities can both occur.

Could it be that the Level Six Civilization in the Milky Way Galaxy formed an alliance or organization for this very reason? But why don't the Harvesters form an alliance or organization?

Suddenly, Yue Yuan had a thought, recalling the several Level Six Civilization Milky Way Galaxy the Milky Way that he had heard about on the radio.

"The Great Voyage!" he sighed inwardly.

The Precursor's the Great Voyage took away almost all Interstellar Civilization, leaving a window of opportunity for civilization development in the Milky Way Galaxy. Perhaps this voyage will be similar, and those Level Six Civilization may take the same action, taking away all the Advanced Civilizations of the Milky Way Galaxy.

However, if the information currently available to humanity is correct, then the several Level Six Civilization that appeared in the broadcasts in the Milky Way Galaxy seem to still be fighting each other, and it is definitely not possible to take away all the advanced civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy under these circumstances.

Yue Yuan estimated that the Milky Way Galaxy would only be able to function when it had only one Strong Force voice, just like the Precursor had done. From the information conveyed by the Rhomboid Crystal, it was known that Thirty Billion Years Ago, the Precursor, with absolute power, brought almost all Advanced Civilizations of the Milky Way Galaxy into the Great Voyage.

Three billion years have passed, and New Generation Civilization in the Milky Way Galaxy is about to set sail again. It remains to be seen whether humanity will be able to catch up with this the Great Voyage.

Just then, the voice of the Rhomboid Crystal rang out again. "You've oversimplified the Great Voyage and the crossing of galaxies. Well, we can't blame you for that. After all, you know almost nothing about Dark Matter or related technologies. It's true that Dark Matter is extremely abundant and almost everywhere, but that's only almost. It's almost everywhere in our area of knowledge, not everywhere in the entire universe."

"For newly intelligent life forms, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult for them to cross from one island to another, or from one continent to another. It may take millions of years for them to complete such a feat from the birth of intelligence to their ability to cross oceans."

For Primitive Civilization that have not yet mastered Controlled Nuclear Fusion, the planets within their Main Sequence Star appear as isolated islands in the night sky. And for Low-level Civilization, aren't the brilliant stars in the night sky also isolated islands?

Similarly, each galaxy, often millions of light-years apart, is like an isolated island on a vast scale to Level Six Civilization, impossible to traverse. Galaxyes like the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way Galaxy are relatively manageable, but those with relative velocities are even more difficult to cross.
