At this moment, Chen Mo glanced at the man in surprise, then turned to look at Xiao Yu beside him, his eyes full of confusion. But at this moment, Xiao Yu felt a sense of relief. Xiao Yu also smiled and said
:"why not?"
"You must already know who I am. But to show my respect for you, I still have to introduce myself. I am the Defender, the one who executed the completion plan, created you, and allowed the spokesperson Chen Mo to be born on the earth.
Instead of being in the Lizardmen civilization, I will fall in love with you as a defender."
"Oh, hello, I'm Xiao Yu." Xiao Yu also said with a smile. Then Xiao Yu led Chen Mo and walked through the void towards this magnificent palace. The defender was leading him in front.
The road led Xiao Yu and Chen Mo to a magnificent small living room with a strong earth age architectural style.
On this road, the defender never looked back at Xiao Yu and Chen Mo. It seemed that he knew that Chen Mo and Xiao Yu would definitely follow him here and would not attack him halfway.
"Do you want something to drink?" The defender picked up a bottle of what seemed to be wine and asked Chen Mo and Xiao Yu. Before Xiao Yu could answer, he poured a glass for Xiao Yu.
, but did not pour it for Chen Mo. It seemed that he knew that Xiao Yu would definitely accept his invitation to have a drink, but Chen Mo would choose to refuse.
Chen Mo looked at Xiao Yu with some worry, but Xiao Yu let go of Chen Mo's hand, picked up the wine glass and touched it with the defender, and then drank it all. After putting down the wine glass, Xiao Yu praised: "Not bad, good wine.
This is better than the wine that a friend of mine spent tens of thousands of years collecting and then stored for seven million years."
"It's hard to come by a long way. It's good to have a glass of light wine to wash away the dust." The defender said.
Xiao Yu stood up and walked slowly in the small living room, looking at all the decorations here. After a while, Xiao Yu opened his mouth and wanted to ask a question.
Unexpectedly, before Xiao Yu asked this question, the defender answered in advance: "This is not the battlefield for our final battle."
Xiao Yu was stunned, another question popped up in his mind, and before he could say the question, the defender replied: "Nowhere will be the battlefield for our final battle."
Before Xiao Yu could speak, the defender replied: "No reason. There is no need for the final battle. Between you and me, there is no need for a war to declare who wins and who loses. Because the result has already been announced.
"
The defender said: "Okay, I'll let you say it."
This feeling is very bad. The defender seems to be able to detect every thought in Xiao Yu's mind.
Xiao Yu was silent for a moment and said: "Since there is no final battle...then, will you complete me, or will I complete you? Between you and me, who is qualified to get the answer to the final question?"
The defender laughed: "I said, the answer has already been revealed. I don't need you to complete me, and you don't need me to complete you. Because, you have already completed me without knowing it.
, at this moment, I am already qualified to get the answer to the final question. But unless I allow it, you will never be qualified to get the answer to the final question."
"You want to attack me. In your mind, 304,672 thoughts flashed through your mind at this moment. You are calculating how to attack me at this moment and my possible reaction. But please believe it.
I, I have no ill intentions towards you, and your attacks on me will not be of any use. So, stay quiet, please be quiet." The defender said.
Xiao Yu's clenched fists were released. Xiao Yu's eyes were full of doubts and confusion.
"When did I complete you?" Xiao Yu asked.
"From the moment you and Chen Mo appeared in front of this palace." The defender replied.
"Why?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Because...haven't you discovered it yet? I am you, and you are me." The defender sighed, "I don't know if you have ever heard a sentence, the most difficult person to understand in the world is not your life and death enemy.
Not your best friend, but yourself."
The defender stood up, looked at Xiao Yu steadily, and said: "I have had unlimited computing power a long time ago, I have occupied the source of order, and I have mastered the rules, but I found that I have never been able to completely
Know everything in this universe. Note that everything I say includes not only the past and present of the universe, but also the future of the universe. I want any changes in the universe in the future to be under my control. I not only want
Omniscient, I also want to be omnipotent.”
"It turns out that my inference was correct, you are Laplace's demon." Xiao Yu said.
"No, I am not a Laplace demon yet. At least, until I grasp the answer to the ultimate question, I can only be regarded as an incomplete Laplace demon. Continuing with the topic just now, I know that at this moment
Among them, I know the position, speed and direction of rotation of any microscopic particles in the universe. I know all the physical rules in the universe. I know almost everything. According to common sense, knowing these, I can know how the universe will change in the future.
Any state at a point in time. But I found that I couldn’t do it. Do you know why?”
Without waiting for Xiao Yu to answer, the defender continued to talk to himself: "Because... the most difficult person to understand in this world is yourself."
The defender sighed and said: "Intelligent creatures are also combinations of microscopic particles. Any of their thoughts and ideas can be known to me. However, I don't know myself well enough. It is precisely because of this that I am the leader of this universe.
The largest variable in . According to chaos theory, any initial small variable, after a long enough time, can produce changes that can affect the entire universe. Precisely because I don’t know what I will do in a moment,
Therefore, even if I master everything in this universe, I cannot know the future of this universe."
"So there is a supplementary plan." The defender said, "I created another me, which is you. I created the Milky Way, the solar system, and the earth, so that life can multiply on the earth, and then in the appropriate time
When I made you and Chen Mo appear on the earth, and then I detonated the earth and forced you to embark on a journey into the universe... all of this was to observe another me who was exactly the same as me, and when I encountered various
When the situation arises, what kind of judgments and choices will I make to help me understand myself more completely and control myself. So I will not interfere in any of your actions. And because the completion plan is destined
You will be blocked, and I cannot come forward, so the spokesperson Chen Mo was born beside you. I am using the spokesperson Chen Mo to protect you from growing up safely."
"This is the entire content of the completion plan." The defender spread his hands and said: "So, when you finally choose to come to the palace gate, the completion plan has been successfully completed. Oh, maybe it can be like this
Say, even if you choose not to come here in the end, the completion plan will still succeed. Because this is your last choice, I don’t care which option you will choose, I just want to know which one you will choose in the end. As long as there is
Choose, and I will understand that the completion plan will be successful. So there will be no final battle, so there will be no question of whether you will complete me or I will complete you."
"It turns out that not only Xiao Yu is a chess piece, it turns out that I, the rebels, the Emperor of Darkness, the Mechanical Civilization Group, and everyone else are chess pieces. Everyone is part of your plan to complete the plan. You calculated everyone, and everything is...
It's under your control..." Chen Mo stood up suddenly and said in a faint tone.
Xiao Yu was silent. Xiao Yu remembered what the last survivor of the rebel camp said to him before he died.
"Xiao Yu, we are waiting for you in hell."
Xiao Yu remembered what the rotating chairman of the rebel camp had said to him.
"No matter how powerful you are, you cannot be a match for the defenders. Your existence is the biggest mistake in the universe. You should die. Only if you die can the completion plan be destroyed."
"We don't know what the completion plan is, but we know that once the defender's completion plan is successfully implemented, all intelligent creatures in the universe will be worse than death. Every thought and idea we have will be destroyed by the defender.
Mastery, each of us will become a puppet."
Those who defend the Way will be omniscient and omnipotent. And if the defenders are omniscient and omnipotent, all intelligent creatures in the universe will become puppets. This is a very simple cause and effect relationship.
Xiao Yu said: "So now you have grasped the future of this universe? Now you not only know everything in this universe, but by completing the plan, you also completely understand yourself. What does this universe mean to you?
Said, there is no unknown anymore. You can already understand every thought and thought of mine, and now I am probably just a puppet in your hands."
"Sorry, not yet." The defender said, "I have completely understood myself and the universe, but I still have not grasped the future of the universe. That can only be done after I get the answer to the ultimate question.
.But it’s going very quickly, Xiao Yu, look.”
The defender stretched out his hand and pointed at the chandelier that emitted a faint white light on the roof of the small living room. The defender did not make any move, and the chandelier went out, and a black particle floated down from it.
fell into the hands of defenders.
This black particle seems to be infinitely small, but also seems to be infinitely heavy. There is an inexplicable and faint meaning constantly conveyed from it.
"This is the singularity of the source of order." The defender said, "After thoroughly understanding the universe and yourself, you can use it to get the answer to the ultimate question. And after getting the answer to the ultimate question, you can completely master the universe and know
The past, present, future of the universe, everything. Now, it’s time.”
Xiao Yu's body was trembling slightly. Xiao Yu didn't want his every thought and thought to be known and controlled by others. Xiao Yu didn't want to be a puppet on strings and continue to exist according to his arranged destiny.
Xiao Yu didn't want to think about it. No intelligent creature in the universe would want this. But Xiao Yu still didn't move. Because Xiao Yu couldn't move at this moment. Because the defenders didn't know what means to use, maybe they were against Xiao Yu.
Understanding, or understanding of this universe, the defenders have completely imprisoned Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu's heart was completely despairing. Xiao Yu finally knew why the rebel camp said that no matter how far he grew, he would never be an opponent of the defenders. Because the defenders were another version of themselves, and their own growth process was
The completion process of defenders. Defenders can only be stronger than themselves, know more, and master more. They have no chance of winning.
The source of order is the center of the three-dimensional universe. The singularity is the center of the source of order. Now, the singularity is in the hands of the defender. The defender smiled lightly and looked at Xiao Yu. In the palm of the defender's hand
There seems to be some mysterious information circulating between it and the singularity.
But the smile on the defender's face was fading quickly, and he finally calmed down completely. The defender removed his palm, and the black singularity was still suspended in the space. The defender walked to the sofa and sat down.
, picked up the wine glass, poured the wine in, and drank it all in one gulp, his face still expressionless.
"You have completely mastered everything in this universe. You know all the information about the past, present and future of this universe. You know the position of a microscopic particle in any time period, even one trillion years later. You
You already know the answer to the ultimate question, you know where the universe comes from, why it exists, you know the meaning of the universe and the meaning of life, you know it all, right?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Yes, I know everything." The defender nodded: "From now on, I know everything in this universe. Just because I know everything, I can do anything."
"Then, can you tell me the answer to the ultimate question." Xiao Yu said tremblingly: "It is impossible for me to compete with you. Even if I know the answer to the ultimate question, I will not be your opponent. So, can you tell me
I……"
At this moment, Xiao Yu is like a drug addict. At Xiao Yu's level, although it cannot be said that he knows everything in the universe, what he doesn't know is limited after all, and they are all trivial things.
.Everything in the universe can no longer arouse Xiao Yu's interest. There is only one thing that Xiao Yu wants to know at any cost.
That is...the answer to the ultimate question. Xiao Yu has an infinite desire to know where the universe comes from, where the rules come from, and an infinite desire to know the meaning of the universe...
"Okay." The Defender said indifferently, "The singularity of the source of order is where it is. With your knowledge and strength at the moment, plus my permission, you can also know the ultimate problem through it.
Answer: Go ahead, I won't stop you."
This is the biggest temptation for Xiao Yu. After millions and millions of years of pursuit, Xiao Yu began to recognize the first word, come into contact with the first formula, start to make the first calculation, and set his sights for the first time.
Xiao Yu has been looking forward to this day since the beginning of this infinite universe. Xiao Yu almost went crazy waiting for this day. But now, this final opportunity is placed in front of Xiao Yu. As long as Xiao Yu reaches out and puts his hand on this
At the singularity of the source of order, Xiao Yu will know everything.
The defender's eyes were calm, without any fluctuation.
Xiao Yu's body swayed, and after a moment he arrived at the singularity. Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and touched the singularity without any hesitation. However, Xiao Yu's palm was only less than one centimeter away from the singularity.
After a short distance, Xiao Yu's palm stopped. Xiao Yu's eyes were very complicated, containing many things, including desires, conflicts, and struggles.
Xiao Yu slowly retracted his hand and left the singularity.
"As expected." The defender sighed, "Is it true that the future cannot be changed? Even the huge temptation of mastering the answer to the ultimate question cannot break the destined future... It's boring, it's really boring."
The defender picked up the wine bottle, poured two glasses of wine, and handed one of the glasses to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu took it hesitantly. The defender stretched out his wine glass, clinked it with Xiao Yu's, and then
Drink it all in one gulp.
"This glass of wine is a farewell." The defender said, "This universe will be yours from now on."
As he spoke, the defender's body began to gradually fade away.
"No one in this universe can kill me or hurt me, except myself." The defender said, "Yes, I am committing suicide. I will completely disappear from this universe and never be seen again."
There will be some traces left. Xiao Yu, goodbye."
"The singularity of the source of order remains here. If you want to know the answer to the ultimate question, you can put your hand on it at any time. As long as you come into contact with the singularity, you will know everything in the universe, and you will
Know the past, present, and future of the universe, know why the universe exists, know where the rules come from, know the meaning of the universe, and know many, many things... You will take my place, and all intelligent creatures in this universe will become
Your puppet."
"Xiao Yu, goodbye. No, we will never meet again." After saying these words, the defender's body disappeared without any sign of existence.
"Xiao Yu..." Chen Mo stood up and looked at Xiao Yu with some worry. Xiao Yu waved his hand as if he was tired and said, "Let me be quiet for a while."
Xiao Yu also sat on the sofa, picked up his wine glass, and poured a full glass of wine, but never drank it. Xiao Yu remained in this posture, thinking here for an unknown length of time. Chen Mo then
He has been sitting opposite Xiao Yu, and has been looking at Xiao Yu with eyes full of admiration.
Time seemed to have passed for hundreds of millions of years, and it seemed that only a moment had passed. Time has no meaning here. Xiao Yu finally picked up the wine glass, drank it all, then stood up and took Chen Mo's hand.
"Let's go home." Xiao Yu said.
"Okay." Chen Mo followed Xiao Yu and stood up without any hesitation. Before leaving, Chen Mo asked: "Is this...singularity like this?"
"That's it." Xiao Yu said.
"I support any decision you make." Chen Mo said, "But I'm curious...why did the defenders choose to commit suicide after knowing the answer to the ultimate question and mastering everything in the universe, and why did you give up on your own initiative?
Did you get this opportunity that you have been pursuing for thousands of years?”
"Let me tell you a story." Xiao Yu said, "In the past, there was a person who hated another person so much that he always dreamed of killing his enemy. But his enemy was very powerful, and he did
This was not enough. So he began to manage his own power. He started from the bottom of society and gradually gained huge wealth, a beautiful wife and lovely children. Of course, in this, he paid a lot of effort that ordinary people cannot.
The hardships as imagined. In the end, his power became large enough, and he finally made his enemies kneel at his feet and killed his enemies with his own hands."
"But, after killing his enemy, he committed suicide." Xiao Yu said, "Do you know why?"
Chen Mo shook his head.
Xiao Yu sighed and said: "Because... the goal of killing his enemy has become his spiritual support and the meaning of his life. His life exists just to achieve this goal. Those past experiences on the journey of life
, such as a superior life, huge wealth, a beautiful wife and lovely children, he could not see any of them. When he completed his ultimate goal, his life was meaningless. So he chose to die."
"Did you know? All intelligent beings are drug addicts, and one unknown after another is the only fatal poison that can temporarily relieve drug addiction. In this process of constant pursuit of the unknown, drug addicts continue to become addicted to drugs.
When the earth was satisfied, science and technology began to make continuous progress. However, the unknowns in this universe are limited..." Xiao Yu continued to sigh and said: "At the point where the defenders and I have reached the point where the universe has basically already
There is nothing unknown anymore. The only unknown thing is the ultimate question... But what happens after knowing the answer to the ultimate question? What unknowns can we pursue?"
"The defenders know the answer to any question. The defenders know what they will be doing even one trillion years from now. They know the position and speed of any microscopic particle in the universe even one trillion years from now. For the defenders, tomorrow is
It's just a repetition of today, because the defender knows everything about tomorrow. In other words, when the defender knows the answer to the ultimate question and knows everything, the defender has been living according to the written script. The defender's life will not be the same.
Without any passion and expectation, the defender will not have any goal worth fighting for. So... what is the meaning of the defender's life? What else can he do except die? "
"Why is it necessary to explore all the unknowns in this universe?" Xiao Yu said, "It may be better to keep a little unknown, a little sense of mystery and expectation."
"But..." Chen Mo said hesitantly, "Can you resist the temptation of the ultimate question? Don't you want to know the answers to questions such as why the universe exists and where the rules come from?"
"I want to know, I want to know so desperately that I would even sacrifice my life. But I also know that when I know the ultimate unknown, my life will be more painful than my death. I don't want to give up on you and
Everything I have now. I will not be that person who kills his enemy and then commits suicide. If I were him, I would rather give up hatred and concentrate on enjoying the huge wealth I have now, my beautiful wife and
Cute child." Xiao Yu looked at Chen Mo affectionately and continued: "I don't want to give up on you, so I have to give up on the answer to the ultimate question."
"I support you in whatever decision you make." Chen Mo snuggled into Xiao Yu's arms, his eyes filled with unbreakable tenderness.
"Although I gave up the opportunity to know the answer to the ultimate question, there is one question that I have always wondered about..." Xiao Yu said, "Why do you always love me? You know, we have only been together for a few years on earth.
Time. When you became the spokesperson and I was still struggling between life and death, why did you still not give up on this relationship? "
"It won't be because it's the arrangement of the defenders." Xiao Yu said, "I know this, it's absolutely not."
Chen Mo chuckled and said, "As you said, isn't it good to keep a little unknown and mysterious? Why do you want to know everything?"
"I gave up the chance to know the answer to the ultimate question. Can't I even know this question?" Xiao Yu said.
"Okay, okay." Chen Mo hugged Xiao Yu gently, and both of them remained silent, neither of them spoke. After a while, a few words came out of Chen Mo's mouth: "Because I am a woman.
"
………………
Xiao Yu and Chen Mo finally walked out of the Source of Order and came to the outer starry sky. Xiao Yu took Chen Mo's hand and disappeared from here, and the next moment they came to an ordinary medium-sized river system.
"This is the Milky Way." Xiao Yu said, "Let's start over."
Chen Mo nodded, and Xiao Yu waved his hand. Then, under the control of a mysterious force, the formation of the entire Milky Way, and even the Andromeda Galaxy, the Triangulum Galaxy, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, and more satellite galaxies began.
Crazy particle recombination and time reversal. This magical scene unfolded in front of Xiao Yu's eyes, until the familiar sun reappeared in Xiao Yu's eyes, until the earth that had exploded reappeared about a distance from the sun.
There are 1.5 billion kilometers of orbit.
A large number of satellites with various purposes reappeared in the earth's synchronous orbit. Among these many spacecrafts, Xiao Yu saw a very familiar figure.
Xiao Yu used it to escape the earth that was about to explode. But at this moment, it has not been completed yet.
"There is no need for it to exist anymore," Xiao Yu said. Then, the unassembled spacecraft disappeared out of thin air.
Xiao Yu took Chen Mo's hand and returned to the ground again. All the scenery on the ground felt very familiar to Xiao Yu. Because all of this was Xiao Yu's particle reconstruction according to the pictures he had seen before.
Restored in the form of going back in time.
Xiao Yu raised his head and saw a tall building in front of him. There was a plaque hanging on it with the words "Xiao Institute of Physics" written on it.
It was now morning, the sun was rising, the weather was neither hot nor cold, it was a good time in spring. Xiao Yu smiled slightly, held Chen Mo's hand and walked into the research institute.
"Director Xiao, morning." A girl hurried in, seemingly anxious because she was going to be late for work. But even though she was anxious, she did not forget to say hello when she saw Xiao Yu.
After saying this, she hurried over without waiting for Xiao Yu to reply. But suddenly, she stopped, and then slowly turned around like a robot, speaking with an incredible expression.
He looked at Xiao Yu and Chen Mo holding hands with Xiao Yu.
Chen Mo also smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Fei, good morning."
"Good morning..." Xiaofei started to stutter a little when speaking.
Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Xiao Fei, go inform all employees to put down their work and go to the large conference room on the second floor for a meeting. I want to tell everyone a big news."
"Okay... okay." Xiao Fei said, turned around and walked away. He walked smoothly at first, but when he turned the corridor, Xiao Yu heard a burst of chaotic footsteps, mixed with Xiao Fei's
A unique girlish voice: "Everyone, come and see, everyone, come and see, Director Xiao is in love! Director Xiao and Chen Mo are holding hands! They are holding hands!"
Xiao Yu smiled lightly and said, "Xiao Fei is still so lively."
"Yeah, it's been a long time." Chen Mo said.
The two of them continued walking and reached the large conference hall on the second floor. All the employees had arrived here in advance and were noisily waiting for something. There were constant exclamations from inside: "Xiao Fei, what you said is true.
Is it true? Is Da Mu really in love? "
"Who is it? Who is it? What? Chen Mo? Alas, it's a pity, I don't have a chance."
"Wow, it's Chen Mo. No, I'm going to have a fair duel with Director Xiao."
"Come on, you, with your size, are no match for Director Xiao. Why don't you consider me? What do you think of me?"
Xiao Yu coughed lightly, opened the door and walked in. The noisy conference hall immediately became quiet.
"Today, I want to announce two pieces of news to you." Xiao Yu looked around and said, "The first piece of news is... I am getting married to Chen Mo, and the wedding is scheduled for three days. Everyone here, please listen to me.
No one is allowed to be less, and everyone must come to help my wedding. Whoever dares to be absent will have all the bonuses at the end of the year deducted. Anyone who comes to help will be counted as one, and the bonus at the end of the year will be paid five times. The second message is, from now on,
All employees of our institute will take a month's paid vacation. After attending Chen Mo and I's wedding, it's time for everyone to relax and unwind, right?"
"Yeah! That's great! Mu Mu, ah no, Director Xiao, I love you!"
Waves of cheers immediately erupted in the conference room.
"Okay, let's disperse!" Xiao Yu announced that the meeting was over, and everyone quickly rushed out.
Xiao Yu also returned to his office. Looking at the familiar clothes, Xiao Yu felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
Xiao Yu turned on the computer, then opened the homepage of his research institute, and posted a message.
"I'm sorry, because of the malfunction of our institute's instruments, I mistakenly announced the prediction that the earth would explode. Now that the alarm has been lifted, I deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused to everyone."
Just after this message was posted, there was a comment. Xiao Yu clicked on it and saw a message.
"Is your research institute a pig farm? Are all the instruments in your research institute operated by a group of pigs?"
This comment is in English and the source address is Europe.
Xiao Yu smiled faintly and ignored the message, but said to himself: "I scolded you like this at the beginning, and now you scold me like this... Well, it's even, no one owes anyone anything.
"
Xiao Yu turned off the computer. At this moment, Xiao Yu suddenly saw a black stone in the corner of his eye, which was quietly placed on his desk. Xiao Yu picked up the black stone.
Played quietly.
After a while, Xiao Yu put the stone on the table again and said to himself: "It seems suitable to use it as a paperweight."
Xiao Yu stood up and opened the window, and the warm spring breeze blew in.
The sky is cloudless, and it is a nice warm spring weather.
