The Wandering Planet

Finally understanding the cause and effect of everything, Qiao Lv no longer feels confused.

Sure enough, it is not that there is no way out in this dark forest of the universe, it is just that this black curtain that blocks the sky and the sun must be broken, so that the sun can shine in again.

"What are we going to do?" Joey asked.

"First of all, it must be clear that our goal is not to prevent the restart of the universe. After so many generations of human civilization's efforts, it is not to let the whole universe and the return to zero perish together, but to let the restarted universe get rid of this desperate reincarnation. "

The restart of the universe is of course conditional. Other civilizations can steal mass from the large universe by building small universes. If the total mass of the universe decreases below the critical value, the universe will change from closed to open.

At that time, the universe will not be able to break through zero dimension and restart smoothly, all life and memory will die, and everything will cease to exist.

Because of this, the zero-returners had to issue a statement of the universe return movement, to prevent other civilizations from seizing the mass from the large universe together, which eventually led to the failure of their plan.

Qiao Lu couldn't help but think of the ending of the Three-Body Problem, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Can the restart of the universe fail by hiding five kilograms of matter?"

"Of course not, but in fact, it is impossible to do so. The statement of the universe return movement is only a salute before the soldiers. Of course, the zeroers will not hope that all civilizations can take the initiative to return the quality they took away. In the end, they will still use force. , Clean up the civilizations that refuse to return the quality one by one. Not to mention the quality of five kilograms, even if it is only five grams, those who return to zero will not let it go!"

Sure enough, the zero-returners will not hand over their fate to others. Since they have technological capabilities far superior to other civilizations, how can they allow the other party to refuse to return the quality?

This is also the guarantee for the success of every restart of the universe. Those who return to zero will directly clean up all other civilizations, and only they can reach the new universe after the restart.

The system administrator shook his head and said, "So the Cosmic Return Movement statement is a complete lie, just to save a little trouble."

"The zero-returner will promise to return the quality of the civilization, which can send the memory to the new universe, and even leave a drift bottle, which preserves almost all the information of the civilization, so that the civilization in the new universe can restore that civilization based on this information. "

"However, the fact is that these memories and drift bottles will be completely destroyed by the zeroers, and they will not allow civilizations other than themselves to reach the new universe. As I have said, other civilizations may regard the zeroers as saviors, but they actually Above is the god of death who destroys the common people."

In fact, Qiao Li also vaguely guessed that it is impossible for the Zeros to let all this go. Only when all other civilizations are wiped out can they restart the universe with peace of mind.

But this raises a new question. Now that all the memories and drift bottles have been destroyed, how did the system escape the end of the universe and come to this new universe after reboot?

The administrator seemed to have expected that Qiao Lv would ask such a question, and smiled slightly:

"Of course we played a little trick. The zeroers do not allow other civilizations to leave any matter, but they will leave a large small universe for themselves, in which they can escape the collapse of the universe. As long as the total mass of the universe is not reduced to a critical mass Below the value, they can keep as much stuff as they want."

This is a luxury that only the Zeros can enjoy, the small universe that wiped out all other civilizations, and they themselves have a vast space to spend the end of the universe.

Other civilizations can't even leave a drifting bottle behind, but the zero-returners have too much quality to use up.

The total mass of the universe is under the control of those who return to zero, and the small universe that can be distributed to everyone is unimaginably huge for other civilizations.

The administrator further said: "The return to zero is a group of intelligent life forms. They may have come from different civilizations a long time ago, but because of restarting the universe, they formed a community of interests to monopolize the entire cycle of the universe. So internally, they are not It is monolithic. The zero-returners have a good way of restricting other civilizations, but they are not so strict with their own people."

"There are many weirdos in the zero-returners. When they reach their level, they no longer have to worry about survival and security needs. So in our opinion, what they pursue is very strange. We have contacted low-temperature artists, mirror performances Wait, there is no normal one anyway."

"Among them was a collector who was very interested in human things, and even called himself Li Bai. We once called it Li Bai Wenming, but we didn't know until later that he was a member of the Zero Returnees."

Qiao Li had this story in his memory, and before he could react, the administrator went on to say:

"Yes, he created a cloud of poetry. Using algorithms that exhaust all permutations and combinations, he wrote all the poems in the world, including any poems that may appear in the past and future. But this is not the point I want to say. Li Bai is a A person who pursues art, but also a collector."

"Don't you..."

Qiao Li quickly realized that there was only one answer!

"That's right, we disguised the things we wanted to pass on to the next generation as cultural relics, and tried to get Li Bai interested in them. Finally, before the end of the universe, he came to take this cultural relic and kept it in the small universe as his own collection. among."

There is still such a method, Qiao Lv has to marvel at the wisdom of the previous generation of human civilization, in this way to hide from the world, using the zero-returner itself to transmit information.

"Can it be so that it won't be discovered? What's more, since it has become Li Bai's collection, how will it be taken out of the small universe in the end?" Qiao Lu asked.

"First of all, Li Bai is a willful weirdo, otherwise he would not have created poetry cloud, which is meaningless in the eyes of other civilizations. He only wants to see the right eye, and other things don't care so much. So we actually Countless pieces of cultural relics have also been forged, which also aroused his interest in an almost exhaustive way."

It is true that he treats his own body with his own way. When Li Bai created Shiyun, would he think that he would also be calculated by human beings in this way?

The administrator finally said: "Secondly, he is still a person who likes the new and dislikes the old. The poem cloud consumed the material equivalent to a solar system, but not long after it was completed, Li Bai didn't care about it, and put it there at will, without any regrets .”

"Therefore, the cultural relics collected by Li Bai are also the same. If we want to preserve all the cultural relics collected in countless reincarnations, the quality is not enough. Therefore, Li Bai basically collects new collections every time the universe restarts. Previous The things collected in reincarnation are of course discarded by him to make room."

"However, on the whole, he still shows that he cherishes cultural relics, so he will not directly destroy his collection, but just randomly scatter it in the new universe. This gives us the opportunity to let the things that human civilization has accumulated so far be finally passed on. To you!"
