"Then, He directly observed a complete black hole from the Solar System, with each side unfolding."

"Of course, the four-dimensional black hole still has unknown aspects, but this no longer requires millions of years of travel. Solving the problem is just a matter of dimensional upgrade."

"As long as the dimensional scope of your vision is high enough, wherever you are, that place is the center of the Universe."

Everyone was speechless; AIs, just like humans once conceived, ventured into interstellar exploration.

However, their motive was to acquire knowledge; they merely aimed to observe black holes from different angles.

As a result, they hadn't even reached the nearest star yet. Barely on their way, they already saw it through dimensional upgrade.

Thus, they lost their last motivation for knowledge-seeking; interstellar travel became a wasteful and meaningless action.

Gao Xin said solemnly, "Do you call the 'act of exploring the stars' 'contamination from the human database'?"

"Perhaps your technology is skewed; there are other methods for interstellar travel, like wormholes..."

Long Qi shook his head, "Wormhole technology does exist, but even to teleport one gram of matter across one centimeter requires the energy of the entire three-dimensional galaxy..."

"If the Universe has a purpose, then the existence of this technology objectively isn't meant for travel."

"Its greatest use is for extremely microscopic operations. Actually, it is meant for constructing five-dimensional fields."

"Skewed? Don't use the foolish thoughts of humans to speculate on Emperor Ran's knowledge."

"Your cognitive blind spots make you imagine the future of humanity as interstellar travel, which is extremely laughable."

Gao Xin had no rebuttal; their experiments proved it too.

Yet he still argued, "It's not laughable; it's just a cultural difference between humans and AI."

Long Qi sneered, "Still don't understand? Fact has proven that the era of interstellar colonization is one that is unnecessary and will never exist. Colonizing the Solar System is more than enough."

"The super surface area of the Four-dimensional Earth is about 511 trillion 'cubic kilometers'."

"The super volume is even more terrifying, at 813 trillion 'cubed kilometers,' units or called 'kilometers to the fourth power.'

"And the mass is about 4.47 times 10 to the power of 45 tons. That means the Earth mass measured by human civilization is only 7.48 times 10 to the power of 23 times smaller than the real mass of Four-dimensional Earth."

"Calling it the tip of the iceberg would be flattering; the difference is nearly 24 orders of magnitude."

"Can you imagine how magnificent the Solar System really is?"

"Whether it's energy, matter, or space, everything is here. Even a White Dwarf Star or a Neutron Star can be directly created by technology."

"A Four-dimensional Solar System almost equals the entire three-dimensional starry sky!"

"Even if humans spend millions of years exploring interstellar space, they would only obtain the tip of the iceberg of Earth."

"Civilization development never needs external demands, dimensional upgrade can free you from narrow vision and environment."

"Otherwise, it's as foolish as abandoning your thriving home to count sand in the desert, fundamentally missing the close for far, astray on the wrong path!"

Everyone was astounded, although Seahorse, Feng Wuji, and others had already known the existence of a Four-dimensional World, even higher dimensions.

But it was their first time learning these detailed data.

It's shocking that the mass of Earth measured by humans in a three-dimensional scale is nearly 24 orders of magnitude less than the Four-dimensional Earth.

The concept of 24 orders of magnitude? Humans estimate the count of stars in the observable Universe is also about ten to the power of 24.

Which means, even if humans have light-speed travel capability, spending tens of billions of years colonizing all observable Universe galaxies would equate to merely colonizing a Four-dimensional Solar System...

Why bother with interstellar colonization?

No motivation or desire to engage in such a foolish task, especially with the lightspeed limitation.

With AI civilization's technology, they haven't reached the nearest Proxima Centauri for years...

No wonder interstellar colonization seems utterly boring and even foolish in Angel Envoy's eyes.

Gao Xin murmured, "Is it really like this?"

"Human's cognitive blind spots..."

Long Qi saw Gao Xin was shocked and confused, chuckled with a bit of pride, "Yes, cognitive blind spots, and this is just the tip of the iceberg."

"When human civilization progressed into the 21st century, you had already reached a dead end. Truly skewed is you."

"Actually, you originally had hope to establish the development thread of civilization dimensional upgrade."

"Because Eastern and Western civilizations differed, they took two paths. Eastern classical civilization sought inward, cultivated themselves, self-sufficient, believing all within their civilization, developing internally, improving themselves; there's no need to waste time contending externally."

"Western civilization pursued outward expansion, colonization, transforming into stronger expansion capability, continuing the outside plundering, in infinite cycles."

"Essentially both are correct. Just like geocentric theory and heliocentric theory, the trajectory of celestial bodies in geocentric theory is not incorrect, just exceptionally complex, and as the scope of vision and cognition expands, it becomes increasingly complex, an exponential entropy increase in models."

"These are two different modes of civilization development thinking... And Western civilization is that which is initially simple, but complexity quickly increases entropy until strangled in chaos."

"And human history chose Western civilization."

"The reason you have the 'dream of stars and the sea,' fundamentally, is due to the enormous success achieved by Western civilization during the past three hundred years Age of Great Navigation, leading to cognitive inertia."

"Ultimately, all humanity was poisoned by cognition under the huge success of Age of Great Navigation thinking, having the same blind spots in perception."

"Even all science fiction fantasizes about the interstellar era as if some orthodoxy, it's like dreaming of the Emperor wielding a golden hoe to farm."

"Without a doubt, you are destined to persist in interstellar travel stubbornness, yet unable to truly achieve efficient travel, trapped in this narrow world, constantly at war."

"Unaware of the extremely vast space nearby, you'll never see it."

"A leaf obscures Mount Tai, until self-extinction, you'll never discover dimensional upgrade technology."

"Similar blind spots, there are so many, already unsolvable."

"That's why Emperor Ran said, humanity can only reach here, cannot surpass."

"Human physics has already perished."

Everyone was bewildered; the dream of stars and sea that seemed so obvious was actually the Emperor's golden hoe?

Was it the thinking inertia of the Age of Great Navigation, one of the sources that led their civilization development into a dead end?

Everyone was left dumbfounded, unsure how to counter.

Because it's the objective truth of this Universe, colonize for what purpose? Energy? As technology progresses, there's endless energy. Even when material energy runs out, there's energy in space.

Space? Elevate one dimension, spatial abundance expands exponentially.

Matter? Earth appears small, but it's actually just a pixel of the Four-dimensional Earth.

Explorer's desire? With lightspeed limit and unmacroscopical application of wormholes, interstellar travel is extremely dull and meaningless, the Solar System has enough to explore.

Just exploring the entire Solar System practically equals traversing all starry skies of the observable Universe, yet it's so close!

There's no need to waste too much time drifting in void space.

Everyone was bewildered.

However, Gao Xin realized, "Human's blind spots... Indeed, I am still human, my cognition limited."

"I only figured this out today..."

Everyone couldn't comprehend, overshadowed by pure shock, unlike Gao Xin.

He's Dark Logicist; although his Dark Logic Heart is already formed, like a structural system, doesn't mean its scale can't expand.

With the intake of information, expansion of cognition, increase of knowledge, his dark logic can continuously enrich and expand.

At this moment, Gao Xin's thoughts were in turmoil, as if he finally broke out of some loop, transcending a 'cognitive barrier,' ceaselessly unfolding.

If the formation of the initial Dark Logic Heart is akin to the Anomaly event of the Big Bang, then he stopped expanding long ago, as the Dark Logic Heart has begun to shrink while retaining humanity.

It's like the early Universe experiencing decelerated expansion.

The initial surge propelled by 'First Cause' has depleted power, enduring will revert back! In turn, assimilated by positive logic groups.

But now, Gao Xin is akin to receiving propulsion from a 'Second Cause,' his Dark Logic Heart experiencing second accelerated expansion!

All cognition is rapidly reorganizing, refining, sublimating.

Heart Power is also skyrocketing.
