Chapter 87 The universe is really dark

  Dr. Lizardman, the first 150 years of his life were mediocre, just an ordinary astrophysicist in civilization.

  But after he became the first scientist to discover the signs of the formation of the black field, his name began to be known to individuals of this civilization.

   Being famous for a piece of bad news that would lead to the end of civilization wasn't what the Doctor wanted, but he did start getting tilted for more resources.

  So after discovering the sign of the black field, he deciphered the content of the gravitational wave. Resisting all the pressure of 'don't answer', I tried to send a distress message to an unknown civilization a thousand light-years away.

   But it's too late...

  It has only been three months since he discovered that the black field is forming, and the visible boundaries of the star system have begun to blur, which means that the black field is about to block the entire civilization's path to the universe.

  The lizard civilization, which is already a third-level civilization, predicted what the entire star system would look like under the cover of the black domain.

  But they don't have light-speed spaceships, and it is impossible for the entire population of the race to escape before the formation of the black domain.

  So civilization is divided into two factions, spaceship faction and refuge faction.

  Spaceship faction drives a spaceship at 25% of the speed of light and takes the most elite population, fleeing in all directions into deep space.

  The Sanctuary faction hides in the mysterious creation with matter, so as to escape the huge influence of the change of the cosmological constant in the black domain!

  The doctor, who had become the chief scientific officer at that time, could have tried to escape with the spaceship faction, but in the end he stayed with a group of scientists and began to preside over the work of the refuge faction.

   Their refuge relies primarily on mysterious artifacts, which the lizard civilization accidentally discovered on a moon of a gas giant planet, with a space bubble large enough to house a star system.

  In the nearly one hundred years since it was discovered, the large amount of energy supplied to it by the lizard civilization can only open three space bubbles.

  But at the moment of doomsday, regardless of cost, the doctor successfully activated its program.

  It was only then that he knew that this mysterious creation like a Rubik's cube was named Base 52.

   After mastering the intelligence program of Base 52, the doctor hid in the space bubble with 40% of the population of the entire civilization and a large amount of matter.

  The black field turned this star system into a cage, but the doctor led everyone to survive, and he became the savior in everyone's mouth.

  Scientists headed by Ph.D. established a research institute, trying to start technological explosions again and again in the civilization refuge, and develop technology to the level of breaking through the black domain.

   For this reason, chip implantation and knowledge implantation technologies have been promoted to the whole people. All citizens can rely on these two technologies to obtain a large amount of knowledge from the database for free, and everyone can be a scientist.

  At first, the research institute led by the doctor achieved a lot of results, more efficient material utilization, more advanced theoretical knowledge...

  This also allowed them to figure out the truth of part of the black region, and the coverage of the black region is positively correlated with the mass loss of the star system.

  It means that they can reduce the area of ​​the black region by returning the mass to the outside of the refuge. When the black region is reduced to a certain range, because of the huge difference between the constant in the coverage area and the large cosmological constant, it will be difficult for it to continue to exist.

   As for how much substance and quality to return?

  The exact number is hard to estimate, only know that after returning the material, they will reduce the population to one hundred thousandth, and they can only maintain the living space of one space bubble.

  With such a high price, the doctor who came up with such a calculation result intends to hide this secret forever.

  But soon, he had to start to re-examine the plan to return the quality.

  Because the degeneration of lizard civilization has begun!

  Individuals in the entire civilization are aware that they have been locked in the refuge, and after a moment of excitement, hedonism begins to spread.

  A large number of planned materials were unsealed in advance, and the originally planned materials with the goal of 100,000 years were consumed rapidly. The rapid popularization of implanted chips and implanted knowledge made individuals neglect study and research, and the technology of civilization began to stagnate.

  When civilization is imprisoned, if you don’t rise up and break the windows, you can only suffocate silently in the sealed house.

  Doctor and his family could have maintained their long-term rule in this refuge by relying on the intelligence program that mastered the base.

  But after several failed attempts to reverse the trend, the doctor resolutely chose to return the substance.

  In order for the civilization to survive in the refuge for many years, the lizard civilization moved nearly one-tenth of the mass of the blue star from the star system.

  If it wasn't for the formation of the black field too fast, they could even move a planet into the shelter!

  Even if the research institute takes over the role of the governing body, the return of the material must be carried out carefully. After all, not everyone can understand what the slow death of civilization means.

   This kind of material return has lasted for nearly six hundred years. With a long-planned exposure, the people who have less and less material and their lives are getting worse finally started to rebel against the research institute.

   Around 700 years of the Black Territory Calendar, the unimpeded rebels came to the last unoccupied space bubble.

From the space bubble where the research institute is located, more than 5,000 scientists from the research institute, including doctors, came out in groups, claiming to be willing to take responsibility for this incident. They were sentenced to death, and they went outside the Rubik's Cube under the **** of the rebels. go.

  The last respect the rebels have for these great scientists is to let them choose their own way of death, and they choose to return their bodies to the big universe as matter.

  During the escort, both sides were crowded with lizardmen, and all individuals spit on them and hit them with all kinds of dirty utensils.

   This group of deceitful people threw all the materials that ordinary lizardmen depend on for survival into the black domain meaninglessly!

   All wrong!

   It is the fault of this group of people that they are suffering!

   Without saying a word, the scientists walked out of the shelter with various instruments in their arms.

  Changes in the common sense of the universe caused the atomic structure to begin to collapse, and their spacesuits could not prevent this collapse at the atomic level.

   But the instruments they carried gave the final result.

   "The black area has really shrunk! The black area has really shrunk!"

   "As long as enough energy is returned, our civilization can return to the big universe!"

  They shouted desperately, but they couldn't wake up the compatriots in the refuge at the moment. No one wanted to hear another word from these lunatics who destroyed the last paradise of civilization.

  The mass of more than 5,000 lizardmen is only exchanged for the reduction of the black area by 0.001 light second.

  The doctor in the middle of them didn't say much. If he wanted others to sacrifice, how could he not be prepared to sacrifice himself?

   After all, he is not a hard-core ruthless person, otherwise the bionics controlled by intelligent programs can slaughter the rebels. He is just an ordinary astronomer selected by civilization at the end of the day.

   "After all, the fire is still left behind, and it is their own choice for future generations."

  The former savior, now the chief culprit looked at the universe in the black domain and couldn't help sighing: "The universe is so **** black!"

  After all, the collapsed body and comrades transformed into a striking red streamer that spread out, like red circles rapidly spreading on the surface of a vast black ocean.

Those rebels divided up the wealth and scientific and technological achievements of the research institute, and became technology companies in various space bubbles. The knowledge that was once available for free began to increase the cost little by little, until the sky-high price was prohibitive for individuals. Charge heavy money.

  The star system of six billion years is dead. Fortunately, the civilization is still alive. Although it has lost most of its soul since then, they will still linger in the sanctuary for a long time.
