Chapter 113： First heard of the waste Saturn domain!

Du Gang still suppressed the emotions in his heart, and asked, "So, what is the standard of first-class civilization?"

Pang Ze said lightly: "Up to the standard of first-class civilization, there are two!"

"The first one, science and technology naturally evolve to the standard of first-class civilization, that is, to be able to rationally use the resources of the parent star to achieve travel and colonization between planets... In terms of energy technology, use quark fusion skillfully!"

Quark fusion, Du just happened to know that during physical education class, he discussed it with his physical education teacher.

Not long ago, an experiment on quark fusion was published in a scientific journal.

In a nuclear fusion using heavy water as the raw material, the energy released by the fusion of a deuterium atom and a tritium atom is about 17 MeV, while the quark fusion formed by the collision of two subatoms has an energy of 138 MeV. !

This experiment proved that quark fusion is a more advanced method of fusion than nuclear fusion, and its power is more than eight times that of nuclear fusion!

However, due to some technical obstacles, it cannot be applied in practice. According to inference, it will take at least one hundred to two hundred years of accumulation for humans on earth to truly master quark fusion!

Obviously, the current earth civilization has not mastered quark fusion, which does not meet the standards of their first-class technological civilization!

Du Gang asked again: "What about another standard for upgrading to the first level of civilization?"

Pang Ze smiled and said: "Meteor star!"

"As long as this civilization gives birth to the first meteorite star powerhouse, it means that their civilization has reached the standard of first-class civilization... even if this civilization does not develop technology!"

"Believe me, it is definitely more difficult to advance to the first civilization with a meteorite star than it is to advance to the first civilization with technology!"

"However, for the same first-level civilization, it is quite the opposite of how difficult it is to advance to the second-level civilization!"

Du Gang was very curious about the information of the universe at this moment, and he wanted to know everything, and quickly asked: "You mean that it is more difficult to advance to the second-level science and technology civilization? Why?"

Pang Ze smiled and said: "For the simplest example, for example, the carrier pigeon in your country is responsible for the existence of the message, and the price is ten yuan each!"

"Then, someone tells you that he will install the base station for you for free, and sell you a contact number for only ten yuan. Tell me, do you plan to use the pigeon or the phone?"

"Of course I use the phone!"

This is a naturally developed technology blockade. The same product is better than you and cheaper than you. At this time, it is very difficult for you to develop your own products!

Du Gang thought about the situation of chip technology on the earth, domestic mobile phones need to pay hundreds of billions of dollars to buy chips every year, but if the chip is re-studied, the cost is more than ten times that of buying it!

Because you are researching and others are researching, you may have studied to the fifth generation, and others are already the fifteenth generation!

The same price, different products, the market will make its own choice!

This is only the inside of the earth. The technology of two different countries has opened such a far technological gap.

If you put it in the universe, the technological gap will be even more obvious. It is a gap of hundreds of generations, thousands of generations!

Maybe, you have been studying for tens of thousands of years, and you may not be able to catch up with the technology that comes with the latest products!

The problem is that research requires funding. Consumers will pay for other people's funding, while your funding can only be borne by your civilization, unless you are willing to let your civilization use carrier pigeons all the time!

Therefore, technical barriers are naturally formed!

In just a few tens of seconds, Du Gang understood why Pang Ze said that it is difficult for the first-level scientific and technological civilization to advance to the second-level scientific and technological civilization.

Just like a computer assembly company, he makes more money from assembling as an agent than he makes himself in R&D, so he will not spend time on R&D... But in fact, this is a vicious circle, and the technology will grow bigger and bigger. !

The science and technology formed in millions or even tens of millions of years, why do you understand it in decades or hundreds of years?

After trying to understand these problems, he felt a little heavy, which means that in the field of science and technology, the earth's civilization has already entered that vicious circle.

However, he still asked curiously: "Then, what is the symbol of the second-level technological civilization?"

Pang Ze smiled and said: "The annihilation of positive and negative matter is a technology that is stronger than quark aggregation!"

"If quark fusion is still within the scope of your understanding, then the annihilation of positive and negative matter is an unimaginable existence..."

"The energy that this technology can generate is about a hundred times that of your nuclear fusion? A thousand times? Sorry, I don't really understand this stuff either!"

He thought about it, then said:

"Well, how should I say, the spacecraft in the sky is a three-star E-class spacecraft of our association. It has the technology of space jumping and can span a distance of 20 light years... What it is loaded on is the annihilation technology of positive and negative matter. Only the energy generated by this technology can achieve a space jump!"

"Of course, the raw materials that can carry out the annihilation of positive and negative matter are very expensive, you don't understand at all, how expensive are the civilizations that control this technology..."

For the second-level civilization, Du Gang has a simple understanding and is very powerful!

"Is this secondary civilization very rare?"

Pang Ze smiled and said: "The second-level civilization is not rare, but the second-level technological civilization is very rare!"

"Let me put it this way, the entire Waste Saturn domain has even a third-level civilization, but there is not a second-level technological civilization!"

Du Gang pointed at the spaceship suspended in the sky, and asked, "Then what are your spaceships?"

"Bought it from the Star Domain next door!"

Pang Ze suddenly pressed a button of the watch, and suddenly, a bunch of pictures were projected out of thin air.

"Let me show you the real universe!"

Soon, a spiral galaxy appeared on the projection.

Du Gang blurted out, "The Milky Way?!"

Pang Ze nodded and said: "Yes, this is the Milky Way!"

He asked rhetorically, "Do you know where the Milky Way is in the universe?"

Du Gang shook his head. On this point, he discussed with the physical education teacher. The earth has not yet discovered how big the universe is and where is the center of the universe.

Pang Ze smiled and said: "The center of the universe is there!"

said, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Tianyu.

Du Gang's mouth twitched, and he ignored him.

Pang Ze smiled and continued: "Well, in fact, I don't know where the center of the universe is. I didn't expect you to be fooled..."

"Close to the subject, no matter where the center of the universe is, it does exist!"

"There are about two trillion galaxies like our Milky Way..."

Regarding this, Du Gang did not deny that there are 5 billion galaxies the size of the Milky Way that the Earth has discovered so far. With these advanced civilization levels, it is reasonable to discover more!

"Our Milky Way is far from the center of the universe. It can be said that it is in the suburbs, roughly at the position of the fifth ring. Of course, between each ring, there may be hundreds of billions of similar galaxies..."

"Speaking of the Milky Way, other places are not what we should know!"

He asked again: "Do you know how many stars there are in the Milky Way?"

"More than 125 billion?" Du Gang said tentatively, this is the number of stars that the earth has detected.

"More than that!"

Pang Ze smiled and said: "The Milky Way has about one trillion stars, which means that there are one trillion galaxies..."

"The universe is too big, and the Milky Way is too big. Just talking about galaxies is too complicated. Therefore, we generally name some star regions with other meanings. Each star region contains a bunch of galaxies..."

"For example, in remote places, there are powerful civilizations that rule hundreds of thousands of galaxies and form a country that belongs to them alone. In this way, the star field will be named after the country..."

"The position where we are now, in the third cantilever of the Milky Way, at the end of the ninth segment, is called the Waste Saturn Field!"

"Waste Saturn Domain..."

Du Gang chewed it again and asked, "Are we under the rule of a country called Wasteland?"

"No!"

Pang Ze looked at him regretfully, and smiled: "The real situation is worse than this, I will tell you later..."

"Now, what I want to say is the purple orchid star field!"

As he said, he waved his hand to bring the Milky Way rotating in the projection closer.

Soon, a strange star field appeared, densely packed with a bunch of stars shining in it.

"The Purple Orchid Star Territory, also known as the Purple Orchid Principality, has a territory of 300 light-years in diameter. It has more than 1,000 galaxies and is the closest star field to us..."

"The Purple Orchid Principality is what I said. We are the only second-level scientific and technological civilization here. Their actual civilization level has reached the fifth level, but the scientific and technological civilization is only at the second level. From here, what can you understand?"

Du Gang blurted out, "They are also blocked by technology?!"

Pang Ze nodded, "Yes, the Purple Lan Principality has existed for millions of years. It has only reached the second-level scientific and technological civilization after such a long period of development. It is conceivable that in the field of science and technology, the advanced civilization is opposed to the lower-level civilization. The dominance of civilization..."

"Five-level civilization..."

Du Gang asked quickly: "This five-level civilization you are talking about refers to force?"

"Yes, the meteorite star can be called the first-level civilization. The strongest meteorite is the second-level civilization, and the strong comet-star is the third-level civilization. In our waste Saturn domain, the strongest is the third-level civilization. Civilized..."

"However, generally we are not called civilization, but are commensurate with power, such as first-level power, second-level power, and third-level power!"

"understood!"

Du Gang nodded and asked: "Then what you have been saying, how big is our waste Saturn domain? What do you mean?"

Pang Ze quickly adjusted the star field map and released the galaxies including the solar system.

"You can see it, the spherical star field with a diameter of more than 100 light-years here is the waste Saturn field..."

In the 　　 projection, all galaxies are not placed on a plane, but three-dimensional, floating up and down, left, right, left, and right.

"We call the side of the Milky Way galaxy the silver plate or the silver surface. The one above the silver plate is the upper silver surface, and the one below it is the lower silver surface..."

Du Gang frowned and said, "How do you distinguish between upper and lower?"

Pang Ze reopened the projection of the Milky Way, saying: "All celestial bodies are moving, the Milky Way is moving around the center of the universe, the stars are moving around the center of the Milky Way, and the planets are moving around the center of the stars..."

"The Milky Way is composed of four parts: a silver heart, a silver core, a silver plate, and a silver crown..."

"Did you see this small ball in the center of the Milky Way? This round ball is the silver core. This is composed of a very dense star system..."

"When we look from the silver side to the silver core, you will find that one side has a large silver core and the other has a small core. We call the side with the large silver core the upper side and the side with the small core as the lower side. , In this way, even in the cosmic space, the upper and lower are distinguished..."

"So, you only need to center on this surface to determine the position of each galaxy..."

"It's a coincidence that the star system you are in is located on the silver surface, which is relatively central!"

Du Gang nodded, he understood what the universe said about the upper and lower silver surfaces.

"This waste Saturn domain where we are located is a spherical space about a hundred light-years in diameter. There are more than 300 stars in it, that is to say, there are more than 300 galaxies..."

"Among them, there are four third-level forces, more than 20 second-level forces, and several first-level forces..."

Pang Ze smiled and said: "The star system you are in is a newborn star, and it doesn't have many planets. Some star systems have hundreds of planets..."

Du Gang interjected and asked: "Your Association for the Protection of Universe Civilization, is one of the third-level forces?"

"That's right!"

Pang Ze nodded and said: "Although our Cosmos Civilization Association has branches all over the galaxy, we basically manage our own affairs..."

"Here in the waste Saturn domain, if our association does not have a comet star, believe it or not, the star pirates dare to copy our hometown, their hatred of me is not small..."

Du Gang said in surprise: "Star thief? Does this exist?"

"Yes, there are a lot of people who are willing to do this kind of business for nothing. The Waste Saturn domain does not have a unified power, so the star thief is very rampant here. Basically there are a lot of forces. It is a caravan on the surface. There is a star thief..."

"Then why didn't the star thief come to us?"

Pang Ze smiled and spread his hands, "You are too naive, everyone is a star thief, isn't it just to grab the ready-made ones? What do you have here? Even if there are minerals, can they still be miners?"

Du Gang thought for a while, and it is true. Since this Association for the Protection of Universe Civilization is a third-level force in the Waste Saturn Domain, it is covered by them. Even if the Star Pirates lay down primitive civilization, they dare not mine, so primitive civilization is nothing to them. use.

"Star Thieves, generally stay outside the prosperous star field, ready to hunt caravans passing by various civilizations, or grab some rich planets..."

Speaking of money, Du Gang quickly asked: "Then what is the general settlement currency in cosmic civilization?"

Pang Ze smiled and said: "I don't know other places, but we waste Saturn domain, usually settled in Zilan coins, which is the currency of Zilan Principality..."

Speaking of this, Ponze paused, his face gradually becoming serious.

"About the basic situation of the universe, you have a rough idea. Next, I will talk about the waste of the Saturn domain. The next content may exceed your cognition..."

"I really don't want to talk about these things~!"

Pang Ze's expression was a bit complicated, but he still spoke, "Speaking of the Waste Saturn Domain, I have to talk about the Realm of Death!"

"In our universe, there is a place called the Realm of Death..."

"The Realm of Dead Silence?" Du Gang was taken aback. This name was like a noun in a fantasy novel, and it felt strange to appear in the real world.

Pang Ze nodded and said, "The realm of death and silence, a place where there is no life!"

"Do you know how long a colorful purple rank powerhouse can live in the waste Saturn domain?"

He said to himself without waiting for Du Gang to answer:

"Can live for 200 years!"

"Then do you know how long the colorful purple ranks living near Yinxin can live?"

"Can live for 2000 years!"

Du Gang looked at him in surprise, not understanding what he meant.

Pang Ze said sternly: "You heard it right, and I didn't say it wrong. If the purple fighters of the same level are in two different places, their lifespans are different!"

"It's not just the Silver Heart. I can say that in the center of the universe, the Purple Warrior can live longer, maybe 20,000 years or 200,000 years..."

He suddenly showed a complex expression, and continued: "It may also be immortal!"

"what?"

Du Gang looked at him in shock, not understanding what these words meant.

Pang Ze stretched out his left and right hands, gestured, and said, "If the finger of my left hand is the center of the universe, then the finger of my right hand is the edge of the world of death!"

"The center of the universe represents life and beauty!"

"The realm of dead silence represents death, loneliness!"

"The Waste Saturn domain where we are located is on the edge of this world of dead silence, and will fall into the realm of dead silence at any time..."

"The most desperate thing is that all the galaxies in the Waste Saturn domain where we live are circled around the Galactic Center, but in fact, they are far away from the Galactic Center and close to the realm of death!"

After saying this, Pang Ze paused for a while, and after Du Gang digested the information, he continued: "Have you heard of entropy?"

"Entropy?"

Du Gang was shocked. There is indeed an entropy theory on the earth. He once discussed it with his physical education teacher.

"I have heard of the law of entropy..."

has something to do with entropy and the second law of thermodynamics, which he has heard a little bit.

Pang Ze nodded, and said, "Just know the entropy. Our universe has entropy. Although it can't be seen or touched, it really exists..."

"The entropy in the textbook is too complicated. I can't figure it out for three days and three nights. Let me make it more popular!"

"You can understand this way, our entire universe has entropy, the center of the universe, the entropy is relatively small, people can live long, the world of death, UU reading is full of entropy, no life can live!"

"Entropy is something that absorbs your vitality...More than that, it will take away the lives of all objects!"

"The reason why we have a life limit is because of the existence of entropy!"

"Including other objects or planets, under the influence of entropy, all will go to extinction..."

"The law of increasing entropy means that entropy is always increasing, and everything in the universe cannot escape the persecution of entropy. Everything will be destroyed under the influence of entropy!"

"Now, do you understand why we are called the Waste Saturn Domain? The next star domain that enters the entropy and dead world is ours!"

"Of course, the realm of death is very big, and there are many waste Saturn fields. We can only be regarded as the third cantilevered waste Saturn field in the Milky Way..."

Du Gang frowned and said: "Then how far is our star from the realm of silence?"

"Ten light-years, your star's orbital speed is one thousand three hundredths of the speed of light, and it will be involved in the entropy realm in about one to two thousand years..."

"Then if I run to Yinxin now, does it mean that my life span will increase?"

"Yes, the closer you are to the silver center, the less entropy is relatively speaking. For humans, they can live longer..."

These theories shocked him a bit.

He thought that all human beings are the same and have similar life spans, but in the end, this is not the case.

The life of the human beings living in the silver heart is nearly ten times longer than that of them!

And if human beings live in the center of the universe, they might even live forever...

incredible!
