The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Is the second plan related to Cheng Yu?" Leo asked in a deep voice.

Mimir didn't answer Leo immediately, but stared at Leo for a while, and then slowly said: "It seems that you really haven't recovered your memory, otherwise you wouldn't ask such a question."

Leo did not fabricate a lie, but admitted Mimir's guess truthfully, saying: "Yes, the most complete memory I have now is the memory of a biochemical soldier, and that memory should still be edited and spliced. All other memories are fragments, including Cheng Yu, Tang Siming, Li Hongmei, etc.," he suddenly paused, and thoughtfully said: "These people who are very important to me seem to be They are Easterners from the old earth era, does this have something to do with my current situation?"

Mi Mier was slightly surprised and said: "Li Hongmei? I didn't expect you to be able to remember Li Hongmei. It seems that their guess is correct. The soul memory is the real core memory, and the brain memory is just a copy."

"Can you explain in more detail?" Leo asked.

"Don't worry, I said that I will answer all the questions you want to know." Mimir signaled Leo to be calm, and then thought about it as if he was sorting out his rhetoric, and said: "In the Earth Federation, you can get more information from the higher universe." When the announcement of the imminent cosmic catastrophe was announced, the Earth Federation actually knew that the cosmic catastrophe was likely to happen, and it was 2,446 years ago."

"Is there a prophet in the Earth Federation?" Leo immediately understood and asked.

"Yes." Mimir nodded and admitted.

Prophets are a very special kind of psychics. They are no different from ordinary people, and their lifespan is the same as that of ordinary people. Their only ability is to predict the future, and the future they predict is not a trivial matter, but related to The major events of the entire universe, and the future they foresee will inevitably happen, as if they are the messengers of the future.

It is precisely because of the particularity of this kind of psychic that their number is very rare. It is said that the entire universe can only have three prophets forever, and only when one prophet dies will a new prophet appear. , so in addition to their predictive ability, the prophets will also be protected by the laws of the universe itself, such as making it impossible for anyone to perceive them, or extreme good luck.

For the prophets, it is extremely good luck that surrounds them, but for those who are malicious to the prophets, and even try to harm the prophets, they are surrounded by extreme bad luck, and they can clearly die of this. There are four Omega-level advanced life forms that can see the doom of the prophet, and each of them is a real member of the Supreme Council of the universe, so the prophet has become the most difficult type of special existence in the universe.

Although the Earth Federation claimed that there were prophets in the old earth era, everyone knew what happened to that kind of prophet. Leo was a little surprised that he really had a prophet, and that prophet also made a prophecy.

While feeling surprised, Leo suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Did anyone believe that prophecy at that time?"

It's no wonder that Leo thought of such a question, because in the melting pot of the Earth Federation, all kinds of thoughts are mixed together, and among these thoughts, the thoughts of the end of the world have always been frequent visitors, and they will appear almost every once in a while. It is a kind of doomsday legend, and there are countless doomsday prophecies like cosmic catastrophe. Good opportunities are destroyed every year, so before the prophet clarified his identity, the doomsday prophecy of cosmic catastrophe uttered by the prophet will not matter how you look at it. There is a kind of grandstanding for those who are regarded as those who believe in the last days.

Sure enough, after Leo asked this question, Mimir showed a wry smile on his face, nodded, and said: "Yes, as you imagined, the Earth government at that time did not pay attention to this prophecy." Said Then he changed the subject again, and said, "But someone believed this prophecy, and that person is Cheng Yu."

Afterwards, he described all the experiences about Cheng Yu very carefully. Although his tone was very flat, it still gave people a very strong feeling. It seemed that he and Cheng Yu had known each other and were very good friends.

In fact, Cheng Yu is not the only one who believes in this prophecy of cosmic catastrophe. Many scientists in the Earth Federation have also detected abnormal fluctuations in the energy at the edge of the universe from various observations, but they are not as real as Cheng Yu for various reasons. Experiment with the feasibility of various evacuation options.

Although Cheng Yu was not the wealthiest person in the Earth Federation at that time, he also owned a lot of property, and he had a very good relationship with Li Hongmei. He also received Li Hongmei's support in politics and manpower, and he quickly targeted the cosmic catastrophe. The evacuation plan research project was established.

At the beginning, Cheng Yu was the same as Mimir's first plan, thinking that sending some human beings enough to reproduce into the subspace, so that they could preserve the fire of civilization on the earth when the cosmic catastrophe happened.

But soon they discovered that the normal universe has a deep connection with the subspace. This connection will cause any fluctuations in the normal universe, and the subspace will also undergo corresponding changes. They can't conduct effective experiments to demonstrate the extent of the impact of this connection, so they can only give up this plan and find a new one, because they dare not bet.

Afterwards, they studied several schemes, one of which was to transform a star into an eternal memory that would still exist even if the universe was destroyed, and store human gene seeds and civilization knowledge. Although this scheme failed, this kind of The star transformation technology has evolved into the most powerful weapon of the Earth Federation at that time.

Until later, Cheng Yu seemed to have received some kind of revelation, thinking that the soul is the best refuge.

Mimir didn't know the specific content of this plan, but he knew that it was related to an experiment that Cheng Yu had been conducting all his life, and this experiment was the perfect soul experiment.

Cheng Yu believes that there is no perfect thing in the universe, and any naturally derived thing is not perfect, but the perfect thing itself contains the eternal law of the universe. It is impossible for any material thing to be perfect, but the soul may be perfect. To survive the cosmic catastrophe, only rely on the perfect soul.

As far as Mimir knows, the prerequisite for a perfect soul is perfect psionic power, so the first half of the research on this perfect soul experiment is related to perfect psionic power.

This research is extremely confidential, and Mimir does not know the details, but he knows that the result is that the perfect psychic power was created by Cheng Yu, but what makes people puzzled is that the Earth Federation government has suspended all related research for some reason. All the materials and experimental results are sealed up and set as the top secret, that is to say, only a few high-ranking people of the Earth Federation have a joint meeting and agree to be allowed to view some of these materials .

"Have these materials been recalled later?" Leo asked at this time: "It is after knowing the cosmic catastrophe and starting to formulate an evacuation plan, they should call up all these materials and re-research, right?"

Mimir replied: "It is true that part of it has been tuned out, but the rest is lost."

Leo froze for a moment, and said, "Will the information classified as top secret be lost?"

"This is politics." There was a mocking smile on Mimir's face.

Hearing this, Leo didn't know what to say. In fact, in the memory of his biochemical warriors, many tasks were related to the destruction of some confidential information. Now that the top secret information is lost, it is not incomprehensible. things.

"What happened next?" Leo asked.

"Although there is only a part left, that part is the key content of the whole research. Through reverse deduction, the Earth Federation gradually restored some experimental content, and even created an artificial soul." When Mimir said these words, His eyes also fell on Leo.

Leo asked in a deep voice: "That means the experiment has been successful, and the evacuation plan is feasible."

Mimir immediately shook his head and said: "No, you misunderstood, we just completed the experiment of creating an artificial soul through those materials, not creating a perfect soul. To have a perfect soul, the prerequisite is to have perfect psionic power .”

"Us?" Leo heard some information accidentally leaked by Mimir, and understood that Mimir in front of him should be one of the participants in those experiments, and he was also the core participant.

Mimir didn't realize that he had leaked some of his own information, so he continued to talk, saying: "Later, the scientists involved in the project repeatedly deduced the data left over, and the conclusion they gave was the result of what Cheng Yu conducted at the beginning. The experiment has been completed, and it is even very possible to create a perfect soul, and endow the fire of earth civilization into that perfect soul, and then send it to a safe place, waiting for the catastrophe of the universe." He said , He stared at Leo again, and said: "Only those who have perfect spiritual power have a perfect soul. Although I have never seen perfect spiritual power, the spiritual power in your body gives me a very perfect feeling."

Leo said solemnly: "So you suspect that I am the perfect soul created by Cheng Yu?"

Mimir shook his head again and said, "No, I suspect that your soul is Cheng Yu's soul, or in the religious terms of the old earth era, you are the reincarnation of Cheng Yu."

"Why do you guess so?" Leo asked.

Mimir said solemnly: "Because I am sure that Cheng Yu has most likely completed the experiment of perfect psychic power before he disappeared, and he is the result of that experiment, the owner of perfect psychic power, but his soul is not Perfect, because according to his theory, everything that evolves naturally is not perfect." Then, he looked at Leo again, and said: "If you really have a perfect soul, then you can't just recover now. Some memory fragments, as for the memories of biochemical people that are pieced together, should come from the soul protection layer that Cheng Yu said, those are all composed of artificial souls, and the memories possessed by those artificial souls are also pieced together biochemical people The purpose of memory is to use the artificial soul of this protective layer to protect the perfect soul at the core when an accident occurs. As far as I know, this artificial soul protective layer has only been tested on Cheng Yu. And the content is recorded in that part of the preserved data."

Hearing Mimir's words, Leo was silent for a moment, then, as if changing the subject, he asked, "What happened later? After you deduced that Cheng Yu's experiment had been successful and created a perfect soul? You haven't looked for an experiment yet. Relevant participants, restore the content of the experiment?"

"All the most core participants are dead, before the experimental materials were sealed up. There are only a very small number of non-core participants such as Li Hongmei..." Mimir paused, and continued: "For example, I, still Alive, but we don't know anything about the core and can't help."

Leo guessed: "So this evacuation plan died aborted?"

Mimir sighed and said: "If we have enough time, we may be able to restore all the experimental results of Cheng Yu, but we don't have time. A thousand years is a long time for ordinary people, but for the entire universe civilization But for a moment."

Leo confirmed with great surprise: "You mean that when the supreme council of the universe and the advanced civilization convey the news of the cosmic catastrophe to the entire universe, there is only one thousand years left for the cosmic civilization to save itself?"

Mimir sighed, nodded, and continued: "I was the first group of people to implement the refuge plan. At that time, the place where we took refuge was a relatively stable subspace plane, although there is land in that subspace plane. And some special subspace creatures, but we did not migrate to land, but adopted the survival plan of combining the brood fleet and living in the spaceship. This survival plan played a big role when the subspace collapsed later. Although we were thrown out of the subspace plane and involved in the turbulence, fortunately, there was not much loss. Afterwards, we discovered this world composed of nine different subspace planes, and in A large number of relics and ruins from the normal universe were found in these worlds, and only then did we determine that the normal universe had encountered catastrophe and chose to settle here."

Leo was silent for a moment, as if sorting out the information he had just obtained, and then asked: "Have you not tried to return to the normal universe?"

"Of course I tried, but we can't identify any space beacons in the normal universe." Mimir replied, and emphasized: "Including the eternal beacons on the Supreme Council of the universe have disappeared, which means we can determine the normal universe. The cause that has been destroyed in the cataclysm.”
