I’m A Wasteland Giant

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

Pang Ze said indifferently: "To reach the standard of a first-level civilization, there are two!"

"First, technology has naturally evolved to the standard of a first-level civilization, that is, it can rationally use the resources of the parent star to realize travel and colonization between planets... In terms of energy technology, it is proficient in using quark fusion!"

Du just happened to know about quark fusion. He discussed it with his physical education teacher during physical education class.

Not long ago, experiments on quark fusion were published in the journal Science.

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

This test proved that quark fusion is a more advanced fusion method 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, humans on earth need at least one hundred to two hundred years of accumulation before they can truly master quark fusion!

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

Du Gang asked again: "What about the other criteria for advancing to the first level of civilization?"

Pang Ze smiled and said, "Meteor star!"

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

"Believe me, the difficulty of advancing to the first level of civilization with meteor stars is definitely more difficult than advancing to the first level of civilization with technology!"

"However, for the same first-level civilization, the difficulty of advancing to the second-level civilization is exactly the opposite!"

Du Gang is very curious about the information of the universe at the moment, wishing to know all the situations, he asked quickly: "You mean that it is more difficult for a first-level scientific and technological civilization to advance to the second level? Why?"

Pang Ze smiled and said, "To give you the simplest example, for example, the carrier pigeons in your country are responsible for delivering messages, and the price is ten yuan each!"

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

"Of course I used the phone!"

This is a natural technological blockade. For the same product, other people’s products are better and cheaper than yours. 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. To buy chips for domestic mobile phones, you need to pay hundreds of billions of dollars every year, but if you re-research chips, the cost is more than ten times that of buying it!

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

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

This is just the interior of the earth, and the technology of two different countries has already widened such a technological gap.

If it is placed in the universe, the technological gap is even more obvious, it is a gap of hundreds or thousands of generations!

Maybe, after tens of thousands of years of research on your side, you may not be able to catch up with the technology attached to other people's latest products!

But the problem is that research requires funds, and other people's funds are paid by consumers, while your funds 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 formed naturally!

In just a few tens of seconds, Du Gang understood what Pang Ze said about why it was difficult for a first-level technological civilization to advance to a second-level technological civilization.

Just like a certain computer assembly company, he earns more money from assembly as an agent than from his own research and development, so he will not spend money and time on research and development... But in fact, this is a vicious circle, and the technology will grow bigger and bigger !

Why do you understand the technology that has been formed for millions or even tens of millions of years in decades or hundreds of years?

After trying to understand these problems, he felt a little heavy, which meant that, in the field of science and technology, the earth's civilization was about to step into 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 matter and antimatter is a more powerful technology than quark fusion!"

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

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

He thought for a while, then said:

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

"Of course, the raw materials capable of annihilation of positive and negative matter are very expensive. You have no idea how high the fees charged by the civilizations that control this technology..."

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

"Is this kind of secondary civilization very rare?"

Pang Ze laughed and said, "Level 2 civilization is not rare, but Level 2 technological civilization is very rare!"

"Let me put it this way, the entire waste earth star field has even a third-level civilization, but there is no second-level technological civilization!"

Du Gang pointed suspiciously at the spaceship floating in the sky, and asked, "Then what are these spaceships of yours?"

"Bought from the star field next door!"

Pang Ze suddenly pressed a button of the watch, and suddenly, a bunch of images 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 back: "Do you know the position of the Milky Way in the universe?"

Du Gang shook his head. He discussed this with his physical education teacher. The earth has not yet found out how big the universe is and where the center of the universe is.

Pang Ze laughed and said, "The center of the universe is there!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to Tianyu.

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

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

"Come back to business, no matter where the center of the universe is, it does exist!"

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

Regarding this point, Du Gang did not deny that the earth has detected 5 billion galaxies similar to the size of the Milky Way. With the level of these advanced civilizations, it is reasonable to detect more!

"Our galaxy is far away from the center of the universe. It can be said that it is in the suburbs, roughly on the fifth ring. Of course, there may be hundreds of billions of galaxies of the same kind between each ring..."

"Let's talk about the Milky Way, other places are not what we should understand!"

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

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

"more than!"

Pang Ze said with a smile: "There are about one trillion stars in the Milky Way, which means that there are one trillion galaxies here..."

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

"For example, in a distant place, there is a powerful civilization that rules hundreds of thousands of galaxies and forms a country that belongs to them alone. In this way, the star field will be named after the name of the country..."

"The position we are in now, at the end of the ninth segment of the third cantilever of the Milky Way, is called the Wasteland Starfield!"

"Waste Earth Starfield..."

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 said with a smile: "The real situation is worse than this, I'll tell you later..."

"Now, what I want to talk about is the Purple Orchid Starfield!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and brought the rotating Milky Way closer in the projection.

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

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

"The Principality of Zilan, as I said, is the only second-level technological civilization here. Their actual civilization level has reached the fifth level, but the technological civilization is only at the second level. From this, what can you understand?"

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

Pang Ze nodded, "That's right, the Zilan Principality has existed for millions of years. After such a long period of development, it has reached the second-level scientific and technological civilization. It is conceivable that in the field of science and technology, high-level civilizations are more important than low-level civilizations." The dominance of civilization . . . "

"Level 5 civilization..."

Du Gang quickly asked: "The five-level civilization you mentioned, do you mean force?"

"That's right, Meteor-level civilization can be called a first-level civilization. Those who have meteor-level powerhouses are second-level civilizations. Those who have comet-level powerhouses are third-level civilizations. In our waste earth star field, the strongest is the third-level civilization." civilized..."

"However, generally we don't call it civilization, but we call it power, such as first-level power, second-level power, and third-level power!"

"understood!"

Du Gang nodded, and asked: "Then you keep saying, how big is our Wasted Earth Starfield? What do you mean?"

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

"See, the spherical star field with a diameter of more than 100 light-years here is the waste earth star field..."

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

"We call the moving surface of the Milky Way galaxy the silver plate and also the silver surface. The one above this 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 moves around the center of the universe, the stars move around the center of the Milky Way, and the planets move around the center of the stars..."

"The Milky Way is composed of four parts: the galactic core, the galactic nucleus, the galactic disk, and the silver crown..."

"Have you seen this small ball in the center of the Milky Way? This small round ball is the silver core, which is composed of very dense star systems..."

"When we look at the silver core from the silver side, you will find that one side has a large silver core and the other side has a small silver core. We call the side with a larger silver core the upper silver side and the side with a smaller silver core the lower silver side. , In this way, even in the space of the universe, the distinction between up and down..."

"So, you only need to use this plane as the center to determine the orientation of each galaxy..."

"Coincidentally, the star system you are in is located on the silver plane, which is relatively central!"

Du Gang nodded, and understood the saying in the universe about the upper and lower silver sides.

"The waste earth star field we are in is a spherical space with a diameter of more than 100 light-years. There are more than 300 stars in it, that is to say, there are more than 300 galaxies..."

"Among them, four third-level forces, more than twenty 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, "Is your Cosmic Civilization Protection Association one of the third-tier forces?"

"That's right!"

Pang Ze nodded and said, "Although our Association of Cosmic Civilizations has branches all over the galaxy, they basically manage their own affairs..."

"Here in the Wasteland Starfield, if our association doesn't have a comet class, believe it or not, the star thieves dare to copy our hometown, and their hatred for me is not small..."

Du Gang was surprised and said: "Star Thief? Is there really such a thing?"

"Yes, there are still many people who are willing to do this kind of business for nothing. There is no unified force in the waste earth star field, so star robbers are very rampant here. Basically, there are many forces. On the surface, there are caravans, and behind the scenes Here is the star thief..."

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

Pang Ze smiled and spread his hands, "You are too naive. They are all thieves, just to grab ready-made ones. What do you have here? Even if there are minerals, can't they still be miners?"

Du Gang thought for a while, and it is indeed the case. Since the Cosmic Civilization Protection Association is a third-level force in the waste earth star field, with their cover, even if the star robbers take down the primitive civilization, they will not dare to mine it, so the primitive civilization is nothing to them. use.

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

Speaking of money, Du Gang quickly asked: "What is the general settlement currency in the universe civilization?"

Pang Ze said with a smile: "I don't know about other places, but we usually settle in Zilan coins in the Abandoned Earth Starfield, which is the currency of the Zilan Principality..."

Having said that, Pang Ze paused, his face gradually became serious.

"You have a general understanding of the basic situation of the universe. Next, I'm going to tell you about the Wasted Saturn Starfield. The following 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 opened his mouth, "Speaking of the Wasted Earth Starfield, we have to talk about the Realm of Dead Silence!"

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

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

Pang Ze nodded and said, "The realm of death and silence, a place without life!"

"Do you know how long a colorful purple-level powerhouse can live in the Wasteland Starfield?"

Without waiting for Du Gang to answer, he said to himself:

"Can live for 200 years!"

"Then do you know how long the colorful purples living near the center of the galaxy 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 me right, and I'm right, if purple fighters of the same level are in two different places, then their lifespans will be different!"

"It's not just the center of the galaxy. I can say that at the center of the universe, purple fighters can live longer, maybe 20,000 years, or 200,000 years..."

He suddenly showed a complicated 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, made gestures, and said, "If the fingers of my left hand are the center of the universe, then the fingers of my right hand are the edge of the realm of death and silence!"

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

"The realm of death and silence represents death and loneliness!"

"The waste earth star field we are in is on the edge of this dead silence, and will fall into the dead silence at any time..."

"The most desperate thing is that in the wasteland star field we live in, all the galaxies circle around the center of the galaxy, but in fact, they are far away from the center of the galaxy and approaching the realm of death!"

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

"entropy?"

Du Gang was stunned for a moment. There is indeed a theory of entropy on the earth. He once discussed it with his physical education teacher.

"I've heard of the law of increasing entropy..."

He has heard a little bit about entropy and the second law of thermodynamics.

Pang Ze nodded, and said: "It is enough to know entropy. Our universe has entropy. Although it cannot 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 put it in a more general way!"

"You can understand it this way. Our entire universe has entropy. The center of the universe has less entropy. People can live a long time. The dead world is full of entropy, and no life can live!"

"Entropy is something that sucks your life force... more than that, it will take away the life of all objects!"

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

"Whether it includes other objects or planets, under the influence of entropy, everything will perish..."

"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 our place is called the waste earth starfield? The next starfield to enter the deadly world full of entropy is our place!"

"Of course, the Realm of Dead Silence is huge, and there are also many wasteland starfields. Our place can only be regarded as the wasteland starfield of the third cantilever of the Milky Way..."

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

"Ten light years, your star's revolution speed is 1300th of the speed of light, and you will be drawn into the entropy world in about 10,000 to 20,000 years..."

"Then if I run to the center of the galaxy now, does that mean my life expectancy will increase?"

"Yes, the closer to the center of the galaxy, the less entropy is relatively speaking. For human beings, they can live longer..."

These theories shocked him a little.

He thought that all human beings are the same and have a similar lifespan, but it turns out that's not the case.

The human beings who live in Yinxin live nearly ten times longer than they do here!

And if it is a human being living in the center of the universe, it is even possible to live forever...

Incredible!
