The Enclosed Space

"In fact, with our current warship armor and shield technology, even if Supernova Explosion eight thousand light-years away, or even if there are consecutive Supernova Explosion, our fleet can withstand it." The physicist continued to Chen Shu his point of view. "What we fear are those space disasters that we know nothing about and do not know how to defend against. As you have probably noticed, the Awakeners have the ability to peel such a large area of star system from the Great Universe with a single ship. This is a fact, and from this we can easily conclude that Level Six Civilization has mastered some kind of Space Technology."

The worst scenario is the third one: the outer battlefield. We all know the travel technology of Level Six Civilization. The speed at which the Awakeners transported us to this star system was 213 times the speed of light. I think everyone knows what that means!

Those who understood nodded secretly.

At 213 times the speed of light, across 8,000 light-years, it would take 37 years to travel at full speed.

Obviously, from the perspective of the vastness of the universe, even a war between Level Six Civilization could not affect that far, unless it is a protracted war in which both sides expand the battlefield.

In fact, humans were right this time.

The war between Level Six Civilization couldn't actually reach that far. I knew this when I first encountered the Awakeners and was brought to this star system. It was the Silver Heart Alliance Broadcast, and then a Level Six Civilization conflict broke out in that star system near the Solar System. At that time, the Awakeners had only taken humanity a little over two thousand light-years away.

In reality, the battles of Level Six Civilization only affected a range of one or two thousand light-years. Back then, the Awakener 'Illusion'' acted based on his own experience, but this time it was different.

The reason is that 'Phantom' received the battle information from 'You' and the Harvesters warship squadron. Before the battle broke out, the two sides traveled back and forth, probing each other, for a distance of six thousand light-years. It was because of this that 'Phantom' felt that humanity was not safe in this star field and separated humanity and the entire space from the Great Universe.

Speaking of which, this 'illusion' is actually quite good to humanity. He genuinely wants to see humanity develop, so he must have his own plans.

And so, during the discussions, matters concerning the departure of the Awakener 'Illusion'' were settled one by one. First and foremost was the exploration of this space—that was a given, it had to be done. Secondly, there was the issue of advancing to Level 4 Civilization before leaving.

Many scientists have suggested that once the Grand Unified Theory is truly mastered and a way to leave this space is found, the human Great Fleet should Awakeners directly in the opposite direction of the star system where the war is said to have occurred, as fast as possible.

The war Level Six Civilization is not something humans can get involved in, or even glance at. We must learn from the lessons of the 'Silver Mist'.

This viewpoint was unanimously accepted.

As for exploring this space, that will definitely begin immediately once you've finalized the plan. Although humanity is currently in an era of massive construction, with almost all resources invested in the construction of the New Particle Collider, selecting some scientific teams from among them shouldn't be a problem.

Soon after, a scientific team was formed under the guise of scientific research and exploration. It consisted of more than a dozen Research Ship and an equal number of warships, including Research Ship from the Nair People Crimson Flame Civilization.

The team was divided into six squads, each starting from the area where the human Great Fleet was located in one of the six directions: forward, backward, left, right, up, and down. As stated in the plan, their first task was to explore the boundaries of this space.

It's like conducting an experiment.

The research team plans to keep the experimental spacecraft moving in six directions to see what happens when it touches the edge of space.

Eight stars are not exactly close together, so the space travel phase alone will take decades. Needless to say, this is a long experiment. However, compared to the New Particle Collider factory that took over a thousand years to build, this time is nothing.

Before the Research Ship and experimental vessels even reached the boundary of space, the scientists in the research expedition team made some predictions about this experiment.

Some scientists believe the experimental spacecraft will cross the boundary of space and emerge from the opposite boundary; this view is held by a considerable number of scientists. Others believe it will cross the boundary, but will not emerge from the opposite boundary, but rather from a random location.

Some alternative viewpoints suggest that the experimental spacecraft was unable to cross the boundary at all, or even find the so-called boundary. These scientists believe that the spatial boundary enveloping the entire Three-Dimensional Space may be different from what humans understand, and may be some kind of hyperspace structure.

Of course, the experiment has not actually started yet, and everything is just speculation.

However, during the voyage, some scientists discovered some clues. They had traveled about halfway when they found that there was no ninth star in the entire space.

What does this mean? It means that the light emanating from the stars did not exit from one edge of space after entering the other. Otherwise, humans should be able to see the phantom images of these stars from another direction in space.

Based on this observation, the previous two experimental results, which had a large number of supporters, were directly refuted, because the distance traveled by the scientific research team's spacecraft was enough for the light from several stars to circle this area of space.

"Could it be an open space?"

Some scientists on the research expedition had barely entertained the idea when they dismissed it. The observed phenomena did indeed conform to the characteristics of open space, but it was clear that the Awakeners had already informed humanity that it had separated this region of space from the Great Universe.

If it's an open space, wouldn't the outside world be able to see what's inside? This completely contradicts his purpose.

However, the results of the experiment were beyond everyone's expectations.

After all six research teams reached the approximate boundary position calculated and began to propel the test vessel forward, they discovered that the test vessel seemed unable to touch the boundary no matter how it flew, as if the boundary did not exist.

Information from various detection devices mounted on the experimental ship revealed that the front of the ship remained as dark as a starry night. The anticipated barrier was not encountered, and there was no edge Light Screen; there was only endless darkness, a darkness from which no matter how far the ship flew, it could not reach the end.

"No, the test ship is changing direction on its own. Look at the coordinates of the eight stars!" a scientist shouted, seemingly having discovered something.

Upon hearing the sound, everyone looked at the positioning star map and data display screen, and sure enough, they found that the relative positions of the eight stars in the star map had changed slightly. Compared with the area where the Research Ship was located, there was indeed a slight deviation from the perspective of the test ship.

The test ship did indeed fly to the boundary of space, but for some unknown reason, it changed course on its own. However, the equipment on the test ship did not detect the change in its course at all.

The scientific instruments on the test vessel showed that everything was normal and the Research Ship's orientation had not changed.
