Volume 10 Dream-like Fantasy _ Chapter 2 Hyperspace Core

Please turn your attention to more than 4,000 years ago, around the 56th century of the Universe Standard Calendar. At that time, almost all the current interstellar civilizations were still surrounded by the speed of light. Even if some of them could barely escape the constraints of gravity, they would at most carry out some primitive and clumsy orbital explorations. The reason why they were able to successfully develop interstellar civilizations was almost without exception because of the Bentussi's descending from the sky.

Since when, the Bentusi people have become interstellar travelers and have established trade corridors throughout the entire spiral arm region. Perhaps because of fear of loneliness, or for some other reason, they have begun to frequently visit some star systems that have developed intelligent life, and sell them advanced navigation technology to help those nations that are shackled within the planets but have infinite yearning for the stars in the sky to enter a broader space stage.

What really allowed the later planetary civilizations to wander freely in the sea of ​​stars one by one was the spread of the hyperspace jumping technology of Bentusi.

Just like the practice of historical development, when a civilization is still limited to its own planet, it is likely that it is considered the only life in the entire universe. However, with the mastery of jumping technology, they have seen various alien life and cultures. The broadening of this vision made everyone very happy and involuntarily thanked Bentusi, who spread hyperspace technology.

However, one thing makes those young civilizations who have stepped into the Milky Way dissatisfied, because according to the technology provided by the Bentusi, although they can create a thruster with a hyperspace module that can instantly travel across the starry sea, the longest distance of the jump is still limited. According to the research of hyperspace physics, the energy required to effectively increase the jump distance is unimaginable, but the Bentusi's super mothership does not have such a range limitation. They can jump as far as they want, and go wherever they want!

People see this as a manifestation of the Bentussi's resignation, believing that they deliberately sell the relatively superficial technology to others and leave the most advanced ones for themselves. However, because this is just a skepticism, people have no definite reason to refute this view, but they cannot find any definite reason to support it.

In fact, the Bentusi's hyperspace technology originated from an ancient relic they picked up - the Hyperspace Core.

It is also the first hyperspace core discovered in this universe. The Bentusi people then imitated the hyperspace module based on the supercore technology. However, this imitation brought many limitations, so other civilizations could not think about jumping as far as possible, so this limitation also brought dissatisfaction among all ethnic groups. After all, the enviable ultra-long-range jumping ability of the Bentusi people comes from the direct application of the hyperspace core. However, because there is only one supercore, there is only one of the Bentusi's own spacecraft that can really jump at will - a super giant spacecraft called the "home port".

However, the truth was not widely known until a long time later, because the Bentusi deliberately concealed it for some reason.

Although they were dissatisfied with the performance of Bentusi treasured the most advanced technology, it was understandable to think about it from the perspective of others. Therefore, in the initial period, the various races of the universe were still grateful to Bentusi. Although the contact and interaction with aliens brought joy at the beginning, with the in-depth exchanges and collisions between different biological characteristics, different social models, different moral concepts and different value orientations, disputes and conflicts between civilizations gradually increased, and finally evolved to the top-level violent conflict - war.

The Bentusi, who had always pursued free trade, responded to the smell of smoke. Whenever an armed conflict occurred between two neighboring civilizations, the Bentusi's home port armed fleet could always arrive from afar with its excellent jumping ability. Several orders of magnitude beyond other civilizations allowed the Bentusi to stop the war from happening without scattering. If the other party did not buy the Bentusi's tent and tried to fight, the home port fleet would always easily defeat them. It was precisely with the rapid response ability brought by this extraordinary jumping ability that the Bentusi's silenced all the battles and wars everywhere in the Milky Way.

Bentusi concluded a peace agreement with the various civilizations sitting at the negotiating table. Bentusi caravans will maintain equal trade contact with all civilizations, on the condition that people must actively maintain peace between the stars and seas, and no force is allowed to have the idea of ​​being involved in the territory of neighboring countries. After seeing the overwhelming strength of Bentusi's fleet, no one will be so stupid that they openly oppose this proposal, especially for all races who have just become interstellar countries, technology trade with Bentusi is an important factor in the smooth development.

With the efforts of the Bentusi people, the entire Galaxy became a huge trading community, and peace lasted for nearly 500 years. During these 500 years, young civilizations became full of wings, and their awe of the universe was replaced by the desire to conquer. Diplomacy and communication between the planets became increasingly frequent, and civilizations with similar starting points gradually diverged from strength to weakness. With the continuous development of space, some strong people will naturally have the need for external expansion. However, the Bentusi people's "free" will have been pressing on the hearts of all races with great revenge, so objections and dissatisfaction began to grow, and the growing children wanted to be independent. They believed that the Bentusi people had no right to impose their ideas on the entire Galaxy.

Then the grudges about the Bentusi remote jumping technology were raised again, which is now explained as: the Bentusi did not want all civilizations to truly enjoy the right to equal communication from the beginning. They wanted to be the only privileged race that could surround the galaxy and become the uncrowned king.

Dissatisfaction is like the gas heated in an airtight container that has expanded/swelled to its extreme and will soon explode.

In fact, there were several times before that, but people were forcibly pressed by people themselves... The scene more than 500 years ago reappeared in my heart. Faced with the complete fear of Bentusi fleet, the current Galaxy civilization has developed greatly with the progress of the times, and the technological gap with Bentusi is narrowing, the advantages of the Bentusi people are still obvious. Moreover, most people generally believe that Bentusi has many "home port" spacecraft, so they have many fleets that can jump from a long distance. 500 years ago, they appeared in various places of the Milky Way to suppress. If anyone now acts rashly and causes them to appear in the same place together, the opponent will face more complete failure. Even if they still act alone, each fleet will be enough for anyone to have a headache.

However, there is also a view that the Bentusi people actually only have one "home port", so there is only one long-range jump fleet. If a battle starts in various parts of the universe at the same time, the Bentusi people will be unable to resist.

Finally, some races decided to believe in the second view.

The details of who led the great uprising that affected the entire galaxy and how it was organized before have been flooded with the long river of history, because almost at the same time, thousands of battles broke out in all parts of the universe.

These people bet the right chips, and there was only one fleet in the universe that could jump long-rangely. Then, facing the war in the entire universe, the Bentusi stammered and ran away, but all efforts were not enough to make up for the overall situation. The Bentusi could only try to extinguish a few wars as much as possible, and then prayed that the chaos of snatching territory would end soon.

When all the war finally subsided, the rule of many star systems was redistributed, and a large number of scattered star systems were replaced by more than a hundred transgalactic empires.
