Chapter 346 - Terrifying Civilization (2/2)
Kalan said, “You might not have heard of it. There have always been three types of limits in the universe. The first are the limits of an individual. They refer to the limits an individual can reach in a race. The second are the limits of a creature, which refer to the limits of biological evolution in the universe. The third are the limits of physics. They refer to the limits of the laws of physics in the universe. Mythical creatures surpass the limits of physics. The limits of physics are the barrier of science. No matter how advanced science and technology are, they can’t surpass the limits of physics. That’s why Mythical creatures can defeat any civilization in the universe unless there’s a Mythical creature in that civilization.”
Wei Huo nodded. “So there’s actually such a saying in the universe. Are the limits of physics the barrier of science?”
Kalan replied, “Yes, science relies on the laws of physics of the world to develop. That’s why science can’t do anything beyond the laws of physics. There are two reasons for this. First, it can’t be observed. Second, it can’t be experimented.”
Wei Huo nodded. After all, he had changed his occupation to a Battle Scientist before. He knew that science was most afraid of things that could not be observed. If one could not observe, one could not verify one’s conjecture. If one could not verify one’s conjecture, one could not carry out experiments. If one could not carry out experiments, one could not apply them to reality.
It was just like scientists had postulated: Tachyons existed. The term ‘tachyon’ referred to an existence that could surpass the speed of light. However, scientists could only imagine this with their brains. They could not use instruments to measure it. Before measuring it, scientists had to create an observation device that surpassed the speed of light. However, that was impossible. According to the mass-energy formula, objects with mass could not reach the speed of light, let alone surpass it.
People could only employ tricks like space-folding. If they could not increase their speed, they could only shorten the journey by folding space.
The speed of light referred to the limits of physics. It was a scientific barrier, but it could be broken by a Mythical creature. A Mythical creature could move at the speed of light. It was not folding space, but it could surpass the speed of light.
Wei Huo said, “Is that why Mythical corpses are so precious?”
Kalan smiled bitterly. “Yes, Mythical corpses can’t be manufactured. They can’t be studied clearly, but they can be used directly.”
Wei Huo nodded. At that moment, the Leviathan had already landed. Upon looking at the Leviathan, Kalan sighed. “The Leviathan is also known as a biological battleship. It seems to be a transport ship of the Zergs.”
Wei Huo said, “Speaking of that, I’ve heard rumors about the four terrifying races. One of them is the humans, and the other is the Zergs. How did this rumor come about?”
Wei Huo was about to embark on a journey to the starry sky, so he planned to learn more about the starry sky from Kalan.
Kalan said, “I’ve only seen this in the ancestral records. The four terrifying races refer to the humans, the Zergs, the robots, and the phantoms. They are called the four terrifying races because their potential and destructive power are huge. In the ancient universe, the four terrifying races ruled the entire Milky Way. However, they declined later on. We don’t know what the current situation is in the Milky Way.”
