After the Milky Way split apart, hundreds of large bases suddenly appeared in the empty space in the middle. These bases were industrial and residential bases of the civilizations that were still resisting in the galaxy. In the Secondary Universe, the people did not have to worry about their safety. Now that they have returned to the main universe, there are many more things to be aware of.
Meanwhile, the people in the Secondary Universe were still unaware of what had happened. Faced with the sudden appearance of a sky full of stars, everyone rushed to look up and admire it. This was a rare spectacle, and no one was worried about any danger. Having experienced many storms, the people's nerves had become more thick-skinned.
However, everyone soon realized how familiar these starlights were. Aren't they the starlights of the Milky Way? Why would they suddenly appear in the Secondary Universe? Filled with questions, everyone was speculating.
Hu Yu immediately contacted Academician Zeng. Humanity's base in the Secondary Universe is very deep. Now that the Secondary Universe and the main universe have merged, humanity's base is almost near the black hole. Therefore, Hu Yu contacted Academician Zeng as soon as possible and informed the public about the situation, telling everyone not to panic.
In no time, almost everyone in the Secondary Universe knew about the merging of the Secondary Universe and the macrocosm. What worried everyone most was not unexpected situations, but that the time of the Secondary Universe had been unified with that of the macrocosm, and there would be no more time advantage in the future. Scientists, in particular, sighed in despair.
Daozi felt somewhat embarrassed. Although these people were unaware of the specifics of the events and even less aware that Daozi was the representative of the Galactic Consciousness, their sighs still made Daozi feel a little ashamed. After all, it was indeed his oversight. However, Daozi truly did not know that such a thing would happen. If he had known, everyone would have demanded that the Secondary Universe be preserved, including the Demon Scorpion Civilization itself.
"Alright, goodbye everyone, I need to head back to base now," Hu Yu said.
Inside the base, human scientists were busy tidying everything up. Secrets existed in the Secondary Universe, but with the merging of the Secondary Universe, the fragmented Alliance Space also disappeared. All of humanity's base equipment was now exposed to the eyes of all civilizations, and much of this equipment and base contained humanity's top secrets.
Hu Yu gave the academicians a brief explanation of the recent events. Upon learning that the Demon Scorpion Civilization had suffered such severe damage, everyone expressed their understanding. The loss of the time advantage did not necessarily mean that they could not defeat the Fish Horse Star Civilization. As long as they had confidence, there was hope.
" Academician Zeng, you and Academician Gao should go to the Eagle Nebula together to investigate what exactly happened there, why the matter increased for no reason, where this matter came from, and whether it poses a threat to us. The same matter increase event also occurred in the NGC 3109 galaxy, and you know the situation there. Find out the cause as soon as possible. The Milky Way really cannot withstand a greater disaster."
"I'll go with Old Gao right away, General. We've made great breakthroughs over the years, so there's no need to worry too much about the Fish Horse Star Civilization. We still have hope. Combining Basic Space Theory, Academician Li's Sixth Reversed State has made some progress, and Academician Liu's matter inversion is also at its final stage. Inspired by the different time flow rates in various parts of the Secondary Universe, Old Gao's research on time has also made rapid progress over the years."
"What about the Third Energy?" Hu Yu was most concerned about this, because the Third Energy involved rules.
"There's been no progress on this for now." Academician Zeng gave Hu Yu the answer he knew. If it were that simple, wouldn't every civilization be able to easily shake the rules?
"I was too hasty."
"I understand. With such immense pressure, everything is progressing steadily. If the Secondary Universe continued to exist, perhaps everything could be resolved in a short time. However, now that the Secondary Universe no longer exists, we need to spend more time solving these problems."
"Academician, now that the Secondary Universe no longer exists, the safety of the people is difficult to guarantee. Is there any way to ensure the absolute safety of the people?"
"We had considered this beforehand, and we specifically researched a set of technologies for it. Actually, it's not that difficult. We conduct dimensional upgrade operations inside the warship, then fold three-dimensional space into it, and with the addition of space compression technology, a single warship can contain the entire Solar System. The safety of the civilians among the Expeller should not be a problem."
"We now have tens of trillions of people. Let's try to expand their living space as much as possible. Consuming a few dozen more Expeller won't affect the war."
"This technology was developed collaboratively by scientists from the entire Star Ring Academy of Sciences. We have Expeller, but they don't, General. Should we offer them some assistance?"
"Yes, we can share the technology of using black holes to stabilize warships with them, and at the same time provide them with some ship hulls built using the Fifth Reversed State, so they won't have any worries."
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away, and then I'll go to the Eagle Nebula with Old Gao."
Nearly 100,000 years later, I returned to the Eagle Nebula. The Eagle Nebula had not changed much. For the universe, 100,000 years is just a blink of an eye. Academician Zeng somewhat moved by the scene. Back then, he was chased by the Fish Horse Star Civilization and forced to hide in this nebula. Later, he was threatened by the Nebula Main Consciousness. Fortunately, everything turned out well, and that's how humanity came to be today.
While examining the Eagle Nebula, Academician Zeng recounted to Academician Gao Zhengyang everything that had happened there back then. The Nebula Consciousness still exists within the Eagle Nebula, but they are all Branch Consciousness Entity. Faced with the powerful Galaxy-Level warships, these Branch Consciousness Entity have long since hidden themselves away, but Academician Zeng is fully aware of their every move.
These Branch Consciousness Entity posed no threat, and Academician Zeng did not seek trouble with them. Li Zhixiong led a large Conqueror Fleet to guard the outer edge of the Eagle Nebula, while Academician Zeng and Academician Gao began to carefully explore the Eagle Nebula.
Daozi said that there were extra substances here for no reason, but these substances were just ordinary substances. Academician Zeng had no way to distinguish which substances were added out of thin air. He could only randomly grab substances and particles from the space for research, and even study the Basic Space in this space.
Both were among the most outstanding scientists in humankind, pillars of humanity. Their accumulated knowledge and scientific insights were top-notch. Combined with the Basic Space Theory of humankind, it wasn't long before they discovered some clues: the Basic Space here was somewhat different.
The Basic Space is the most basic structure that constitutes the three-dimensional universe, and it is also the most basic building block of energy and matter. The two academicians discovered that in some places here, the Basic Space and Void are reversed.
