Chapter 224: Snake of the Stars, Interstellar Civilization Gathering Area(2/2)
…
The Orion spiral arm has a large number of active star forming regions and is the most complex and diverse spiral arm in the Milky Way.
It is located on the periphery of the galactic center and is 25,000 light-years long.
If converted into kilometers, it would be 2.365 trillion kilometers.
The scale of this space is despairingly large.
In comparison, it is even much larger than the world in the shape of "round sky and earth" in many fantasy works.
However, if you fly non-stop through the Advanced Tunnel at tens of millions of times the speed of light, it will only take about twenty-two hours to completely penetrate the entire Orion spiral arm from beginning to end.
But this is just an idealized state. In reality, the high-level corridor is not that long at all.
In today's Milky Way, the transportation network of the spirit world tunnels is more often in an intermittent and fragmented state.
Many times it ends after flying for tens or hundreds of light years. It is necessary to fly a certain distance through the symbolic realm at super-light speed, and then fly at high speed after reaching the next available passage. And the new passage, whether long or short, will eventually end.
After flying to the end, you have to fly through the symbolic realm of super light again. According to the records of the corridor distribution map, you can use the spiritual world corridor for the next section.
But it is extremely regrettable that most of the spiritual corridors that exist in the vast sea of stars are abandoned and useless.
Its greatest function is to tell visitors that this seemingly deserted star field may have been a prosperous place many years ago.
Moreover, the speeds of different levels of the spirit world tunnels are also different, or even very different. (For details on the levels of the spirit world tunnels, see Chapter 172)
For example, the corridor where Mu Cang is located is one of only three high-level corridors in the Orion spiral arm. It is also the only corridor in this spiral arm that is not broken from beginning to end.
So starting from 50,000 years ago, an interstellar civilization gathering area with a palm leaf structure gradually formed around this high-level corridor and the larger number of secondary corridors connected to it.
Since it is like a leaf, it naturally has petioles and leaves.
But it is different from the wider and thicker structure of other types of leaves.
Palm leaves grow from the end of the petiole to the end of the leaf, and will split from both sides of the columnar petiole to produce thirty to fifty pieces, about three to four centimeters wide and six to seventy centimeters long, wrinkled linear sword-shaped pieces.
blade.
There is an obvious distance between each narrow blade, which makes it extremely independent and sharp from a viewing angle.
And the same is true for this vast civilized area.
The petiole is the high-level spiritual tunnel that Mu Cang travels through and runs through the vast 6,000 light-years.
A blade is a narrow star field composed of dozens or hundreds of blades, about ten to hundreds of light years wide, hundreds to thousands of light years long, connected by a large number of secondary corridors and even more secondary corridors.
Between each star field, there are similarly narrow and long broken channel star fields of varying sizes.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course, palm leaves in nature have a flat structure, with neat sword-shaped pointed leaves only on both sides of the petiole.
The "palm leaf-shaped civilization area" in reality is 3D.
Naturally, all the 'leaves' that grow from the 'petiole' will not stick to a planar structure, nor will they be limited in number, nor will they be neatly arranged.
There will even be connections and interoperability between many sword-shaped star regions.
This makes the Broken Channel Star Field, which has a wider area, look like it is broken and messy distributed in every corner of the 'palm leaf-shaped' star field.
The so-called ‘palm leaf-shaped civilization area’ was Mu Cang’s temporary name.
Its official name is defined by various civilizations as [Feedpopeniv Interstellar Civilization Zone].
Because this title is too awkward.
Mu Cang improvised and gave it another name.
Considering that there are millions of stars contained in those sword-shaped star fields, they are all shining with blazing golden light.
He thought for a moment and named it [Golden Palm Interstellar Civilization Zone].
At this time, Mu Cang, who had already traveled hundreds of light years, finally entered the prosperous area of the Golden Palm Civilization District.
From time to time, some spaceships of different shapes and sizes, or even a huge interstellar fleet, would fly towards us.
When these spacecraft finally discovered the solar system entity that he was dragging at a very high speed at close range, they were all shocked beyond words.
But it was too late, one spacecraft after another quickly hit the sun that stretched millions of kilometers.
The next moment something strange happened.
These spaceships were like phantoms, passing directly through the sun without any damage.
Likewise, the sun that collided with them was not damaged at all.
It is as if the two exist in parallel time and space, and as if both have become dark matter at this moment, passing through each other like illusory bubbles.
They will never have any impact on each other on a mechanical level.
After discovering this, Mu Cang, who was standing at the front, finally realized:
"It turns out that the complex spatial structure in the 'acceleration' field around the corridor...is responsible for this."
"Then this state entered with the blessing of the speed of the corridor... can be called a [dark-like] state."
