Sword of Daybreaker

  The first thousand and thirty-ninth chapter of the text of the sword of dawn, the generation of the final critical point is mostly extinguished.

A word from Enya was like a cold wind, which made Gao Wen who was about to get excited instantly calm down from the inside out, his face became calm, and he savored the information revealed behind the "extinguishing". It took a long time to break the silence: "It's extinguished... how did it go out? Do you mean that they are all extinct for various reasons?"

"Those signals are like the lights in the night flickering in the distance. Perhaps it is limited by technology. The flickering lights can only reveal very limited information. Sometimes the information is so simple that it can only convey the meaning of'I am here.' Then at a certain moment, some signals will suddenly disappear, and there will be no new news. The vast universe has buried too many secrets and truths. In the darkness, I can't see anything."

  Enya spoke slowly, as if picking up those yellowed pages in a long vague memory.

"I don't know what happened to them. Just like other minds trapped on this planet, I can only guess the end of those civilizations by speculating on known phenomena, but some of them... I successfully deciphered Based on the information they sent, it was basically certain that they were either destroyed by natural disasters or perished by gods."

  Gawain subconsciously repeated the last few words of the other party: "Death to the gods?"

Enya whispered: "The gods who died to the gods and their own. Among the few signals that were successfully deciphered, I did hear them calling out the final call sign in the anger of the gods, even though the voice crossed the distant stars. , But still desperate enough to be unbearable to hear."

"So as we guessed before, if there are intelligent creatures on other planets, and if their world also follows the laws of nature as we understand, then they will also face everything we face..." Gao Wenqing He took a breath, "After they developed to a certain extent, they also triggered the ritual of'final disobedience', which led to the loss of control and destruction of the gods..."

  Enya did not speak, but after a pause, Gao Wen then asked: "What is the situation that was destroyed by natural disasters? What kind of natural disasters are they?"

"The signals that were lucky enough to be able to cross the galaxy are mostly vague and seldom can transmit clear and detailed information, especially when the'natural disaster' broke out, the civilization that sent the message often fell into chaos, which is more chaotic than the gods descended. Even more serious, they can no longer organize manpower to launch an orderly "dying call" into outer space," Enya said quietly, as if analyzing a corpse in a calm tone, telling Gao Wen about her past 100 years. The cruel clues I have come into contact with for thousands of years, "So, the description of the'natural disaster' is very messy and broken, but it is this messy and broken state that I can almost be sure that they are encountering the'magic tide'. ."

  Magic Tide.

  At this moment, Gawain’s expression did not change at all. Although he had already stirred a strong ripple in his heart, the strong ripple only confirmed the speculation he had already had a long time ago.

Enya's conclusion is that he expected that the magic wave is not limited to this planet, but a common phenomenon in this universe. They will sweep the entire starry sky fairly and periodically, smoothing out the civilization in the stars. Records under.

The golden dome in the room remained quiet. Enya seemed to be carefully observing Gawain’s expression. After a moment of silence, she said again: "All of this is just a conclusion I have speculated based on the observed phenomenon. I dare not. They are guaranteed to be accurate, but one thing is certain that the universe is more prosperous than we thought, but it is also more deadly. The dark and deep starry sky is filled with countless twinkling candlelights of civilization, but under those candlelights, there are more numbers. Many graves that have been extinguished and cooled."

  "These things...Does the Dragon Race also know?" Gao Wen suddenly asked curiously.

"They only know a small part, but no dragon dares to go deeper," Enya said calmly. "In the long period of 1.87 million years, there have been dragons watching the starry sky at a critical point. There was movement, but I blocked all signals from the outside world and interfered with their perception of the starry sky. As you know, looking up at the starry sky was a taboo thing in the old Talrond."

"But their gods and gods have been paying attention to the voices among the stars, and even done so much research," Gawain looked at the golden dome in front of him with a weird expression, "If no dragon can look up at the stars , How did you..."

"Close your eyes and listen carefully," Enya said, with a smile in her tone, "Remember? On the top of the Tarrond Temple, there is the highest observatory, and I always stand there to listen. It is a dangerous thing for sounds from the universe to take the initiative to move towards the starry sky, but if those signals have already been transmitted to this planet, passive listening will not be so easy to lose control.

"But even so, it's not easy to do this...every time I stand on the stargazing platform, I have to fight against two forces at the same time. One is my own resistance and fear of the unknown deep space, and the other is my behavior. God’s impulse to destroy the mortal world, so I will be very careful to control my frequency of going to the observatory and keep myself at the critical point of losing control."

   Gao Wen listened to Enya telling these secrets that no second person knew, and couldn’t help but curiously asked: "Why did you do this? Since doing so will cause you so much pressure..."

   "Curious," Enya said, "Aren't you curious?"

"...Nature and instinct are not inconsistent, do they?" Gao Wen smiled bitterly and shook his head after a brief astonishment. "You know, these things you told remind me of a... spread in'My Hometown' 'Theory."

  "Your hometown... the hometown of foreign wanderers?" Enya's tone changed, "What kind of theory is it?"

"Big filter," Gao Wen sighed gently, and explained patiently, "a filtering mechanism that lies in front of all civilizations and determines whether they are lucky enough to step out of the starry sky. We believe that life grows out of nothing and develops gradually. The process of the highest interstellar civilization can be divided into several stages, and at least one of these stages is extremely dangerous and the chance of survival is slim. A certain kind of crisis will cause almost all species to become extinct and disappear at this stage, making them unable to step in the end. Out of its own planet, and this harsh screening and elimination mechanism is the'big filter'.

"We can’t be sure when the big filter will appear in what form. Before we actually step into the stars, we can’t be sure whether a civilization has passed the test of the big filter by chance, or the test is still tomorrow... In this world, it seems that this puzzle that has plagued scholars has already been answered."

"Is the magic tide and the divine disaster the'big filter' we are going to face?" A gentle and calm voice came from the golden dome, "Ah, this is really a novel and interesting theory... Outer wanderer, it looks like In your world, there are many scholars with brilliant eyes who are paying attention to the mysteries in the depths of the world... I really hope to get to know them."

This question has involved complex areas that are difficult to answer. Gawain was very careful to stop before the topic went deeper. In fact, he has already said a lot of things that he would never say to others on weekdays, but he never thought about it. The world talked with people about these topics related to the starry sky, the future, and extraterrestrial civilization. The feeling that a confidant was hard to find made him want to continue to discuss more things with Dragon God.

"You mentioned just now that you have'heared' hundreds of times in the universe," he thought of a new question, "and the senders of those signals did not suffer from divine disaster at least when they made the call. Does this mean that the act of constructing interstellar communications does not cause the gods to lose control?"

  This is very critical, because “where is the ultimate tipping point for the loss of control of the gods” has always been the most concerned issue of the Theocracy and the past rebels.

At present, scholars have separated "the collective out-of-control phenomenon of all gods in the world" from the "divine disaster" corresponding to the loss of control of a single god, and named it the "ultimate divine disaster", so it can be said: Before the crisis of the out-of-control gods, the "Ultimate Divine Disaster Critical Point" means that the world’s mortal civilization is at the limit of development. The more accurately this critical point and all the technical limits related to it can be grasped, the more countries can be in the ultimate Prepare as much as possible before the real disaster of the gods, so that mortal civilization will have a greater chance of survival in the future.

So far, the "Ultimate Divine Disaster Critical Point" estimated by the Theocracy Council is the "ultimate disobedience" determined by Tarrond's rites of maturity, that is, "mortal civilization relies on its own technological accumulation to allow explorers to substantively and physically Sexually break away from the home planet and step into a space environment that civilization has never explored.” Scholars can already be sure that this kind of behavior will lead to a symbolic “ultimate disobedience”. If it survives, it means that humans and gods are free and cannot survive. It is the destruction of civilization.

  However, there are still many uncertainties at this critical point. The biggest question is whether the "ultimate disaster" really will not erupt until the stage of "final disobedience"? Is the conclusion of the practice of the dragon clan the "standard answer" to the law of the gods? At a certain stage before the final disobedience, is there a possibility of the ultimate disaster also breaking out?

  If the explorer is physically and physically separated from the parent star, it will lead to the ultimate disaster. What about the preparation stage before the launch of the spacecraft? What about the world's large-scale observation phase of the starry sky? What if mortals launch an unmanned detector? If... other interstellar civilizations send greetings to this planet, and the mortals on the surface respond to this voice, what will it cause?

  Each of these questions is not unreasonable. Every question is marking the tipping point of the end of the world, marking the survival range of the entire mortal civilization.

Enya obviously also knew what Gao Wen was worried about, so she was very cautious in answering this question. After a long time of thinking, the former **** broke the silence: "I think it really determines whether the gods will completely lose control. It's not exactly a symbolic'ultimate disobedience' ceremony. You should consider the meaning behind this ceremony."

   Gao Wen frowned: "What is the meaning behind the final rebellion ceremony?"

"Mortals have come into contact with the truth outside the realm of cognition, and this'truth' is irrefutable and unshakable," Enya said. "As a god, I don't know how to look at this process from the perspective of a mortal. The resulting...meaning, but as you can imagine, if there is a person who firmly believes that we live on a flat world instead of a planet, he firmly believes that the sun is a ball of light that rises and falls from the edge of the earth. It's not that the planet under our feet is moving around the sun, so how can his perception be broken?

  "External sounds are not good, because those sounds may be lies; the universally recognized knowledge is not good, because the world may be deceived; even the images from space are not good, because the images can be fake...

"No matter how bizarre these explanations are, as long as they can be explained, then the person who believes that the earth is flat can continue to put himself in a closed-loop and'self-consistent' model. He does not need to pay attention to the true shape of the world. As long as his own logical barriers are not breached.

   "Unless, let him see with his own eyes."

Gao Wen listened carefully to Enya's words, and couldn't help frowning: "I understand what you mean, but this is exactly what we have never understood. Even though there are so few observers among the mortals, they have to work hard. In space, I used my own eyes and experience to personally confirm the appearance outside the known world. This only changed their "personal perception". How this individual behavior produced a ritual effect, Affected the changes in the entire trend of thought? Why did the gods, who are the products of the trend of thought, lose control directly because a few humans suddenly see a scene outside the world?"

"...This shows that you are still in a misunderstanding," Enya suddenly laughed softly, "The stubborn and poor guy I just mentioned that needs to'see with your own eyes' is not any mortal who launches into the air. It's the **** himself."

   Gao Wen: "You mean..."

"Your understanding of thoughts is a bit one-sided," Enya said. "God was clearly born out of the thoughts of a large number of mortals. This is a macro process, but it doesn't mean that the only way to get the gods out of control is to make the thoughts have a macro. Sometimes a tributary of change at the microscopic level produces ripples, which are enough to destroy the entire system.

"If the gods are regarded as a huge'entanglement body', then this entanglement body includes all the cognition of a certain thinking tendency of the world beings. For example, I am the dragon gods, then my The essence includes all the cognition logic of the dragon family to the world in the age of mythology. These logics are tightly entangled like a thread. Even though there are thousands of threads, all the threads are included in the inside of the thread. In other words, it is closed-loop, extremely exclusive and rejects external information.

  "Then only one thread needs to be out of the order of the coil, and the probe jumps out of the closed-loop system, which is equivalent to breaking the basic rule of the establishment of the coil.

"Under normal circumstances, in this closed-loop system, it is almost impossible for such a'jumping thread' to appear, because the trajectory of all the threads has been determined, and the thread itself is also preventing the occurrence of cross-border behavior. The closed-loop system itself cannot produce a “window” for one of its members to leave the system, so in most of the stages of civilization development, the only way to make the coil collapse is the gradual overload and chaos of the entire system. The theory of understanding is that'the dramatic changes in group thoughts at the macro level have caused the gods to lose control', that is, the changes in thoughts generated by a large number of mortals in this closed-loop system cause qualitative changes and ultimately destroy the entire system.

  "The closest example to you is God of War.

"In another case, the information outside the closed-loop system intervenes in the system. This information is completely beyond the control of the'cluster'. It only takes a little bit to make a certain thread jump out of the closed loop, which will make it self-explanatory. Suddenly, the system becomes inconsistent. It means that there is a “factor” that violates the rules in the original perfect operation logic of the gods. Even if this factor is small, it will pollute the entire system.

  "The closest example to you is me."
