The Record of Unusual Creatures

"There should be the border."

The corpse terminal raised his finger to the picture sent back from the external monitor, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

Hao Ren looked at the image from the outside of the spaceship with a stunned look. After a long time, he sighed: "...It’s a big dream."

The giant tortoise is gliding briskly in a quiet and whimsical space, and the speed has dropped to a low speed near the atmosphere. The world's borders are around the spacecraft, and its vision is like a child's dreams. Out of the starry sky: weird, simple, straightforward.

Countless celestial bodies pass by the spacecraft, small, and colorful.

Hao Ren and the corpse terminal came to the observation platform on the upper part of the giant turtle rock platform and personally experienced the border of this false world. He saw a group of light clusters floating in space. The light group depicted delicate patterns or auras. The stars and eggs of less than one meter in diameter were flying around him as if they were projected in a holographic planetarium. Come and fly, they run in precise orbit, glow, and die. Some planets like marbles flew in the air. They had no quality and strength. When they came into contact with the outer shell of the giant turtle rock, they appeared as if they were disturbed by the TV screen and shattered and dissipated. Hao Ren reached out and spoke to one. In the glare of the "star", he felt the slight heat and the numbness of the electric power. The star was disturbed. In a burst of vibration, it disappeared silently.

"This is the border of the world," the terminal stood in the stars, and the blonde appeared on the shining star. "A holographic projection universe... and so small, it's like a model."

"Because it is very close to Zhuo Xing." Hao Ren looked down and saw a dim blue dot shining slightly under the giant turtle rock. That is Zum, it is still in sight. "At this distance, it is enough to simulate the starry sky to create such a layer of image. As long as no one is flying into the place with a spaceship... no one will find them above the head. The starry sky is made."

“If someone finds it?”

"The world is resetting at regular intervals because it does not allow humans to develop excessive technology, or even allow humans to develop science and technology with peace of mind... but the world's simulation programs must follow the 'real' principle and cannot make the world The development has a sense of violation, so the only way to prevent humans from entering space is to constantly restart the entire map." Hao Ren believes that he has grasped the key to the problem. However, there is still a crucial answer that cannot be grasped. "But if you restart the map, you can do it in any way. Only Nolan in the world can retain the reincarnation memory. Other human beings are refreshed without any awareness. What is the significance of the last days of war?"

In the first few thousand years of this world, every reincarnation is a peaceful and idyllic world. Human beings enjoy peace and prosperity in their reincarnation, and they never find anything wrong with their own world, but in the last few dozens of reincarnations. in. The world began to go to the end of the day - every time it came to an end in the war. Hao Ren feels that this is meaningless. If you just want to use the virtual world to trap the human beings here, a peaceful, slow, and unprogressive peace and prosperity is even more suitable than the war-torn world. What is the significance of the scripts of those world wars?

"With my mind, I can come up with a lot of more suitable script maps. If you restart to the feudal era, a map can even be used for thousands of years without worrying about humans rushing out of the earth." Hao Ren frowned slightly, "So the meaning of the existence of this world is not to trap humans. The secret of not letting humans discover the starry sky should be just an incidental measure... I guess it should be a refuge."

“Why don’t we go further to the more borders?” suggested the corpse terminal. "There is still a road ahead. This virtual space seems to be quite big."

"I am worried that it will cause data overflow." Hao Ren hesitated. "If the world is simulated by a computer program, the behavior of forcibly visiting the boundary may lead to logic errors."

The corpse terminal thought: "According to the experience of this machine, such a complicated system must have a module of disaster buffering. If we forcibly rush out of the boundary, most of them will be directly bounced back. And even if the data overflows, as long as we withdraw in time There should be no problem: such a strong virtual program, there is not even a bug fix function?"

Hao Ren thought deeply about it and finally decided to try it according to the suggestion of the corpse terminal. To be honest, he is also curious about the end of the border.

The giant turtle rock station began to slowly accelerate again, and this time the progress is more cautious than before. Hao Ren and the terminal stayed on the upper observation platform and controlled the spacecraft by remote control. Beside the two "people", the small celestial bodies floating in the universe are becoming more and more dense, and the form is even more grotesque. Because they are quite far away from Zum, and it is difficult to observe the details from the telescopes on the surface, these celestial bodies tend to be shoddy. Many stars are simply a glowing flat map, and the round side faces the drom.

Going forward, the galaxies have become flat maps with dynamic images floating on them.

Eventually, the spacecraft stopped without warning, without inertia, without vibration, as if it had been suddenly suspended in space by pressing the pause button. Hao Ren noticed that the front end of the spacecraft lost its color, as if it had no ugly gray-white appearance without the three-dimensional model of the map, and his end of vision was an endless darkness, and there was no starry sky or texture anymore.

"This is the ultimate boundary of the world," the terminal observed at the end of the horizon. "There is no defined and rendered area, and it seems that this 'universe' has not collapsed because we arrived at the border. The previous fears were superfluous. ”

"We have been here, but the controllers behind the world are still not showing up," Hao Ren came to the end of the observation platform and looked around at the scene. The "universe" was divided into two in front of his eyes, and half was an endless dark scene. Half of it is a densely lit celestial body, but at the end of the world he did not hear the voice of the founder of this virtual world. "Hey! Anyone?! We are here! The end of the world! Don't you want to say something?" !"

The terminal glanced at him: "Do you think anyone can hear it? There is no air outside the platform."

“Do you think the controllers of the virtual world need to use their ears to listen to the sounds in the program?”

The terminal raised another question: "So is there really a controller in this virtual world?"

Hao Ren’s eyebrows jumped: “You mean...”

"Maybe it's all automatic," the terminal shook his head. "Or maybe there was a controller before, but... wait!"

Hao Ren Deng was nervous: "What happened?"

"This machine just seems to have received the signal to detect the drone group!" The terminal slammed his forehead and listened to the sound from the information link. "It is a direct signal... very weak, and there is distortion... but it is Direct connection signal. Some of the sensing functions of this unit seem to be restored!"

“Restoration?” Hao Ren’s eyes widened and looked at the surrounding stars. “Is it because of the ‘Boundary’?”

"Probably... probably here is the closest to the real world, so you can break through some sort of firewall-like thing and communicate with the outside world," the terminal said quickly. "It may also be the background program of the world that controls this area." Weakened, the shield disappeared... Damn, the signal is still too weak, the unit can't hear clearly."

Hao Ren immediately decided: "Don't waste bandwidth, can you launch navigation information? Just launch navigation information!"

"Try this machine!"

"You better hurry," Hao Ren said as he looked at the most dense places of the stars. He found that those celestial bodies were flashing rapidly. This is a phenomenon that was not seen before. It is clear that something unexpected is happening," This place seems to be not quite right... I am afraid that the background program of this world has finally decided to do something!"

The terminal shouted: "This machine is working hard, it is working hard!"

Time passes by, the "stars" in the universe almost all start to madly shine, and there are celestial bodies disappearing, almost at the speed visible to the naked eye, large areas of dark areas appear in Hao Ren's field of vision. A lightning-like thought suddenly popped out of his mind: collapse.

The world is beginning to collapse!

"Come out!" the data terminal shouted. "Although only part of it..."

"Let's leave this place soon!!"

(It seems to have doubled at the end of this month. When you vote, you will leave half of the monthly ticket to the end of the month and vote again. As for the 啥 is to stay half... Because of the point of view of the voting system, the vote seems to have a ceiling, and the end of the month is accumulated. Too many tickets seem to be unable to vote.)
