The Three Laws of Conservation of Mass-Energy
Chapter 151 The Three Laws of Conservation of Mass-Energy
Despite the fact that human civilization currently seems to be on par with the Trisolaran civilization, and even that Earth's development is more vibrant,
However, in terms of technology, humanity is still far behind the Trisolarans. For example, the technology of using the gravity of stars to accelerate matter to sub-light speed has not yet been mastered.
After listening to Jiang Fan's explanation, Shen Zhou suddenly realized that he had been blinded by the prosperity of human civilization and had forgotten that the fundamental physics of Earth had only broken through the blockade of protons a little over a decade ago, and that he simply did not have the ability to send them back.
Finally, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say it.
“Mr. Jiang Fan, we do not intend to return to the Trisolaran system immediately, but rather to convey our request to you in advance,”
"I believe that under your leadership, the Blue Star civilization will advance its technology at a speed that is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people,"
"I only hope that when humanity has the ability to send us back to the Trisolaran system, you will be able to help us without holding a grudge."
Jiang Fan nodded.
"Very well, human civilization will put the concept of civilizational unity into practice with concrete actions. One day, when we master high-speed space travel technology, we will definitely help you go back and save your compatriots!"
Chen Zhou bowed in respect.
"On behalf of the Trisolaran civilization, I thank you for your selflessness."
In Jiang Fan's view, it would be at least several decades before human civilization mastered high-speed space travel technology.
By then, due to internal conflicts, the Trisolaran civilization will either be overtaken by humanity or face self-destruction.
Therefore, agreeing to Shen Zhou's request would not only gain the favor of the Trisolarans, but would also bring no loss to oneself.
But what no one expected was that just four years later, the distance between the Earthlings and the Trisolarans was about to be closed!
In the 28th year of the Xinyuan era,
The Eternal flew out of four-dimensional space and traveled for another four years before finally seeing the beautiful blue and white exterior of its home planet.
Chu Tianshu, Noah, and the other new generation members on the ship stared at the shimmering fluorescent layer of gas for a long time, unable to come back to their senses.
Bubbles floated around in front of the crowd, constantly murmuring.
"Xiling, Xiling"
They seemed even more excited than the others.
Noah, annoyed by this, reached out and scooped it up, then began to rub it.
"Could you please keep your voice down?"
Since seeing Xiling, the tomb keeper of this monumental civilization has undergone a complete personality change, and his attitude towards human civilization is completely different from before.
"I need to find Xiling, your spaceship is so slow!"
Noah held him and asked,
"You still haven't answered me what the conservation of spirit is. Believe me or not, we won't take you back to Earth."
The bubble expanded slightly.
"Your civilization level is not high enough; knowing this will not do you any good."
Noah then asked,
"Then tell me, how are civilization levels divided? What are the standards?"
Bubble seemed to ponder for a moment, then replied after half a minute.
"I can only tell you that the first three levels correspond to the conservation of energy for matter, the conservation of energy for antimatter, and the conservation of energy for dark matter,"
"And you haven't even discovered antimatter and dark matter, so you wouldn't understand the levels beyond that."
Noah's expression was far from calm. According to this theory, human civilization was definitely at the very bottom of the cosmos. With a hint of defiance, he continued, "..."
"What is the basis for this judgment? Humanity has gone through primitive society, feudal society, imperial society, and republic."
"It has also experienced technological leaps from slash-and-burn agriculture to the steam revolution, the electricity revolution, the information revolution, the nuclear energy revolution, and the intelligent revolution,"
"It's still at the most basic level of civilization, which seems a bit unreasonable, doesn't it?"
"Is it possible that we just haven't discovered antimatter or dark matter yet, but have already surpassed the first level in other aspects?" Bubble shrank and slipped from his hand, speaking in an extremely disdainful voice.
"What a frog in a well! He doesn't know the immensity of the world!"
"A civilization that has reached the second level only needs to throw a tiny bit of antimatter at you to wipe you out, understand?"
"Neither of them are antimatter weapons; all we need is antimatter. The energy released by the annihilation effect of one kilogram of antimatter and matter is enough to destroy the surface environment of a medium-sized planet!"
"You feel safe now because this area has no value. As long as Xiling is not exposed to any civilization, no one will travel thousands of miles to destroy you."
Noah scoffed, indicating his disbelief.
"So, according to you, it would be easy for a Type III civilization to wipe out a Type II civilization?"
The bubble bounced onto his head.
"Of course, it's even easier than a second-level civilization wiping you out. Dark matter also has another name: information matter!"
"It records all the information about the universe's evolution from the Big Bang to the present day, and has an extremely high entropy value!"
"In terms you can understand, 99 percent of the universe is filled with dark matter,"
"Normal life activities and interstellar activities do not interfere with dark matter; it acts like a celestial observer, recording all matter activity."
"However, if dark matter is used on a certain area, it will cause the matter information in that area to become disordered. For example, an iron atom might turn into a carbon atom in the next second,"
Can you imagine that situation?
"Because energy must be conserved, if matter changes, for example, if it becomes lighter, a Big Bang will occur; if it becomes heavier, a Big Collapse will occur!"
"Dark matter is far more destructive than destroying planets; it directly affects all matter!"
Noah gasped.
"Hiss! Is it that terrifying? By the way, if the Monument Civilization uses this classification method, which level of civilization does it belong to?"
Bubble, caught up in the conversation, immediately replied,
"The monument civilization has reached the limit of matter, that is, it has mastered the conservation law of all positive, negative, and dark matter and energy."
Central Building,
Upon hearing this information, Jiang Fan immediately compared it to the technology of the Super God Universe.
The development paths of both sides are the same in the material stage, both being positive, negative, and dark.
As for the future direction, the Shenhe civilization is still exploring.
Based on my initial observations of this anime, it's speculated that after the material world comes the spiritual world, which might be what's known as the void.
Xiling sat beside him, tilting her little face up and asking,
Why do you think that bubble thinks I'm special?
Jiang Fan snapped out of his reverie and shook his head. This concept of spirit conservation also touched upon a blind spot in his knowledge; the concept didn't exist in the Super God Universe.
"I don't know, let's ask them ourselves when they get back."
Xiling's pale fingers twirled her own hair.
"But he doesn't want to see that bubble, it's so annoying."
This was the first time Jiang Fan had seen Xiling like this; she looked like a cub afraid of a stranger.
The man's protective instincts grew wildly like bamboo shoots after a rain, leading him to do something he never expected.
He gently put his arm around the girl's shoulder, his eyes filled with tenderness as he spoke.
"I'm always by your side, don't be afraid!"
There is only one person in this world who can bring Xiling a sense of security, and that person is Jiang Fan.
