After the "lost sixty years" passed, humans suddenly woke up from their sleep.

To be precise, it was after the "Primary" arrived at the "Sawman A" galaxy that humans woke up as if they were dreaming and found that the threat that made humans tremble and terrified for one hundred and forty years did not exist.

At that time, the information sent back by the "Primary" showed that "Saber A" was a galaxy that was completely impossible to have a high-level civilization, because in this galaxy, the star is a supergiant with a diameter of 150 times the sun, and it is in a very active youth. There is no fixed life zone near the stars, and the only three planets are giant planets with a much larger volume than Jupiter. One of them has a mass very close to the sun and is in the stage of evolution to a star. It is expected to evolve into a star within 10 million years.

Obviously, this is a very young galaxy.

According to scientists' estimates, the age of "Saw A" is less than 100 million years, perhaps only 10 to 20 million years, and is in an extremely unstable period.

Obviously, in such a galaxy, it is impossible for high-level civilization to exist at all.

After the news was announced, nearly 800 billion people thought they had been deceived, and all the fingers were pointed at the universe and human politics. Severe social unrest lasted for nearly ten years.

During this period, even military rebellions occurred.

As a result, humans in the universe experienced the first civil war.

Fortunately, the scale of this civil war was not large, and the damage caused was not serious, and the cosmic army quickly quelled the large-scale rebellion.

It is not the army that contributes, but the scientists.

After the outbreak of a large-scale insurgency, the Federation of Scientists issued a statement emphasizing that the light-speed spacecraft that visited the solar system more than 140 years ago was definitely an unknown alien civilization. However, the spacecraft may not return to the galaxy, but flew to other galaxies for scientific exploration. Perhaps this alien civilization did not discover that humans had entered the cosmic era or had no interest in humans.

In short, there is no rumors in the universe, and the threat of alien civilizations still exists.

In fact, this statement does not have much political flavor, because the Federation of Scientists is a relatively powerful structure in the universe and a group with the third influence among humans in the universe. There is no need to obey the command of politics, let alone speak for politics.

At that time, the conclusions given by scientists were relatively reliable.

In response to the invasion of alien civilizations that did not expect to arrive, scientists have summarized four possibilities. First, the alien civilization visiting the solar system did not discover human civilization, or did not discover that human civilization had mastered the theory of gravity field and had the ability to enter deep space. Second, the alien civilization was not interested in human civilization at all. Perhaps it was too far away from the solar system, perhaps more advanced than human civilization, perhaps it was not very warlike, or perhaps it was any other reason that caused this alien civilization to not destroy human civilization. Third, the galaxy where the alien civilization is located was in another direction. In order to hide itself, the light-speed spacecraft flew to other galaxies. Fourth, the alien civilization was in the direction of "Saber A", but not the "Saber A" galaxy, but a more distant galaxy, because in this direction, there are almost countless galaxies on the scale of 13 billion years.

These four possibilities can explain why the solar system has not suffered a devastating blow.

Of course, this does not mean that humans can rest assured.

If it is the first possibility, it means that alien civilizations may not have discovered human civilization at all. Even if it is discovered, it is unlikely to pose a threat to human civilization.

In other words, only when this possibility occurs can humans temporarily let go of the fear of destruction.

If it is the second possibility, it means that alien civilizations will send spacecraft to them, or in other ways, continuously monitor human civilization, and when human civilization reaches a certain stage, such as when the technological level has posed a threat to alien civilization, it will take action to destroy human civilization.

Of course, this is not something that will happen soon, and human civilization can at least breathe a sigh of relief.

If it is the third possibility, it means that the level of this alien civilization is similar to that of human civilization, and it may also be destroyed by the counterattack of human civilization, so it deliberately hides itself. The purpose of doing this is to gain time, that is, to destroy human civilization before human civilization takes action.

Obviously, the threat still exists, and destruction may still come to humans at any time.

If it is the fourth possibility, it means that the threat is even greater, because in the direction of the "Saber A" galaxy, there is a galaxy almost every five to ten light years, and any galaxy may have a civilization higher than humans. Therefore, every ten to twenty years, human civilization may encounter devastating disasters and will continue until 26 billion years later.

You should know that the known lifespan of the universe is only 13 billion years, and it can exist at most more than 10 billion years.

In other words, during the life cycle of the universe, as long as human civilization remains in the solar system, it will experience a great panic every ten to twenty years.

Fortunately, the first decade has passed and humanity has not been destroyed.

Of course, the human nerves tensed again.

After quelling the rebellion, the human politics in the universe immediately introduced new measures, while lifting the military control state, and formulating the "Cosmic Constitution".

This constitution fundamentally stipulates what humans should do and what they must do.

In the seventh decade of the 24th century, the "Pilot" left the "Sawman A" galaxy and continued to move forward, exploring whether there are high-level civilizations in the galaxies ahead.

Although it took a lot of time, in about eighty years, the discovery of the "pioneer" can provide early warning time for human civilization.

To put it simply, if the "Prior" discovers a high-level civilization in a galaxy eighty light-years away from "Sawman A", it can be preliminarily determined that the light-speed spacecraft was discovered by this civilization. Even if this high-level civilization dispatches a light-speed fleet at the first time, it will take this time to reach the solar system and attack humans. Of course, there must be a prerequisite, that is, the civilization will send a light-speed fleet after the light-speed spacecraft returns from the solar system, rather than immediately dispatching a light-speed fleet after discovering the humans in the solar system.

Of course, there are also such possibilities. After all, not all civilizations have mastered quantum communication technology before mastering the speed of light flight technology.

You know, humans are an exception.

If the civilization of the light-speed spacecraft visiting the solar system had mastered quantum communication technology, then the "pioneer" could not provide early warning to mankind no matter how far it flies. To put it bluntly, if this is the case, I can only pray that the civilization is not so warlike and has delayed precious time.

Regardless of whether the exploration work of the "Primary" is valuable or not, human civilization has at least returned to normal and rationality and has begun to find ways to fight against high-level civilizations.

At that time, the second thing the human politics in the universe did was to vigorously encourage cosmic exploration.

To put it bluntly, it is an adventure to the alien system.

You should know that before this, human civilization forbidden to explore alien galaxies, and even forbidden spacecraft to fly more than one-tenth of the speed of light in the solar system.

There is no doubt that this is a typical ostrich policy.

At that time, human politicians took it for granted that as long as the speed of the spacecraft did not exceed one-tenth of the speed of light, the gravity field fluctuations generated would not be discovered by alien civilizations.

By the 24th century, this was obviously an extremely wrong understanding.

You should know that as long as the anti-gravity field propulsion is used, no matter how fast it is, the gravity field fluctuates will be generated and will be detected. The reason is very simple. The anti-gravity field propulsion system uses space energy, and as long as the space energy changes, it will cause space fluctuations, that is, gravity field fluctuations. The difference is only the intensity of the fluctuation. In the face of detection methods of high-level civilizations, these behaviors of human beings are obviously unable to disappear.

Continuing to adopt the ostrich policy is obviously waiting to die.

Of course, sixty years of panic have also made most people realize that if human civilization wants to survive, it is not to hide itself, but to go to the universe to eliminate those alien civilizations that pose a threat to human civilization, and to take the initiative to win the opportunity to survive.

There is no doubt that this is also a typical logic of human civilization.

Since you want to expand, you must first find the destination for expansion. You must know that in the vast universe, only galaxies have the necessary resources for civilization to survive and develop. Since you have to take the initiative, you must find the target of attack, that is, those alien civilizations that pose a threat to human civilization.

To this end, cosmic adventures must be encouraged.

At that time, the human politics in the universe clearly stipulated that the politics would participate in all cosmic exploration activities by means of investment, providing spacecraft, etc., and share the income with explorers. To put it bluntly, the universe politics signed a contract with the explorers to allocate resources found in the universe.

However, it is not the explorers that occupy the majority, but the human politics in the universe.

The main thing is that as long as the explorer discovers an alien civilization, the human politics in the universe will take military actions to occupy the galaxies of these alien civilizations, or directly destroy them. Theoretically, any galaxy suitable for human survival may have an alien civilization. In this way, it is almost impossible for the explorer to turn the discovery into his own, and must rely on the military support provided by the human politics in the universe.

Obviously, this is very similar to the Age of Discovery.

Therefore, the following tens of thousands of years were also called the "Age of Cosmic Discovery" of mankind.

This is an extraordinary era, an era of heroes, and an era of heroes. It is an era that makes everyone feel extremely yearning for and extremely excited. However, at the beginning, this era did not progress so smoothly, and it could even be said to be bumpy. Perhaps, this is like the first batch of navigators driving canoes deep into the turbulent ocean.
