But when you raise your head and look up at the stars, will you feel incredible? How much have we paid to get used to all this?
What does this mean?
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, all four seasons of the year, three hundred and sixty-five days, twenty-four hours a day, sixty minutes every hour, sixty seconds every minute... Children all know this, and they will even tell you that one hour
It’s 3,600 seconds!
These are too common, just like we breathe, oxygen is not poisonous to us, we are used to it.
We are used to this...
"But this is not the earth... This is the Gaia star. How can it be exactly the same as the earth?" Dongfang Ruo sat on the roof, quietly watching the sun rise.
Although Bai Ze still didn't fully understand what Dongfang Ruo saw clearly, this sentence alone was enough to make him realize a lot.
A shuddering feeling arose spontaneously.
yes……
This is Gaia, a planet very far away from the earth. It and five other planets exist around Yuanyang. It is true that it is very similar to the earth, but it is indeed not the earth.
But why has no one discovered this problem?
Is it because it’s too familiar?
Bai Ze couldn't help but fell into a daze. He smiled silently, and his smile was very empty, as if he was laughing at himself, and at the same time as if he was satirizing the reality in front of him.
"Then...what is the real world like? Where have we arrived?" Bai Ze asked.
Dongfang Ruo shook her head, she didn't know and didn't have the courage to understand.
Because with the emergence of this understanding, she began to doubt more questions.
"I don't know... I don't know what happened, but this is indeed not the earth, and those habits cannot be completely inherited... because the price we paid to get used to all this is too low..." Dongfang Ruo hugged
She had her legs buried in her knees and her head was buried in her knees. She felt very cold now and was in a terrible mood.
Bai Ze was trembling physically and mentally, but he still had hope, so he said with a smile: "Maybe... maybe all this is an illusion? In fact, Gaia is no different from the earth, but... are we just overthinking it?"
If Dongfang didn't answer this question, she only asked: "Brother, do you think if we all live in a world created by an omniscient and omnipotent God, then it is possible for us to resist him?"
Bai Ze was stunned by the question. He had never thought about this kind of question.
So he sat down a little embarrassed and smiled bitterly: "I really haven't thought about this, but if there is an omniscient and omnipotent God, he should not bother to interfere with our world, right? Why should we resist him?"
Dongfang Ruo raised her head after hearing this, her face full of confusion and uneasiness, and she murmured to herself: "But Linsen thought that maybe he was aware of this problem from the beginning, so he tried every means to arrange such a mystery.
The Bureau is trying to disrupt God's view of the world, but you are right... If there really is an omniscient and omnipotent God, why would he be an enemy of mankind? What value does it have to him whether we are dead or alive?
?”
Value... Bai Ze was startled when he heard this, and then asked tentatively: "By the way, value! Junior sister! That's the value!"
"What?" Dongfang Ruo's thinking was very confused now.
Bai Ze was unexpectedly sober: "It's value! Junior sister, think about it, what kind of god would think our existence is valuable?"
Dongfang Ruo frowned, she thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "You mean the only interstellar passenger on the Quantum Origin? Prometheus?!"
Bai Ze nodded seriously: "Yes! This is the only possibility, because I really can't think of other answers, but what I don't understand is, since he has brought us to this planet, why does he want to rule us?
?Is it because he thinks he should become a god? Is this too cliché?"
"Cliché..." Dongfang Ruo couldn't help but laugh: "Yes... the clichés purely for selfish desires have been corrupted and degenerated countless times by movies and TV dramas... Does this Prometheus really think he is a god?"
Bai Ze also fell into deep thought. He wanted to say that it was impossible, because if humans in the Earth period really chose this person to be responsible for continuing humanity, then he must be able to shoulder this responsibility. How could he become a dictator?
Or even go one step further and become a god?
certainly……
"Perhaps we are overthinking, and the reality may be so cliché. He really turned himself into a god, and then hoped that everyone would live according to his script. If humans deviate from this axis, he can also build it anytime and anywhere.
A new stage, a fresh start!" Bai Ze concluded.
Dongfang Ruo looked at Bai Ze quietly, and she also thought of this possibility, and her long-term pursuit of the truth made her more inclined to believe that all this was true, because she was tired, and she really needed an end, not
A never-ending direction.
But is it possible?
Dongfang Ruo had no answer in her mind at first, but it wasn't until she discovered the final agreement between Lin Sen and Bai that she had a hunch that this might never be possible.
Because there are various signs that Lin Sen has witnessed countless destruction and rebirth in search of the truth.
He was lonely and stubborn and reincarnated endlessly over a long period of time. The figure from his back made Dongfang Ruo feel sad and afraid at the same time.
The pain was due to his sacrifice, and the fear was because even so, even if Lin Sen spanned 360 million years, he still gained nothing... After all, he had to resist an omniscient and omnipotent god... This kind of dead end will really have consequences.
?
Dongfang Ruo's eyes dimmed and she closed her eyes, feeling suffocated by the pain in her heart.
However, Dongfang Ruo also understood that everything Lin Sen did was not completely meaningless, otherwise he might have quit enjoying his beautiful life long ago.
Unless he really finds something, something that allows him to fight against the world and against this god.
It's just that Dongfang Ruo, as the "voice", moved a little slower, but she still hasn't found the treasure left by Lin Sen for her final resistance.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Ruo raised her head again. She stood up, looked at the people who had started fighting in the ruins, and then said: "No matter what, I have to believe in him. I believe that all this is not meaningless."
Bai Ze also stood up after hearing this. He didn't have so many worries and was more free and easy.
So he smiled and said: "Well, maybe we all guessed wrong, or maybe I have to give up on the role I was supposed to play, but now that I persist, maybe this god will make other plans for me."
Dongfang Ruo smiled slightly, looked into the distance, took a deep breath and said: "Jin Yu is back, I hope he is not empty-handed."
Bai Ze followed Dongfang Ruo's gaze and looked to the south side of the ruins. Sure enough, Jin Yu, who was stepping on the azure matrix, was back, but his expression was solemn, and it felt like he had returned without success.
Dongfang Ruo's smile faded, and she and Bai Ze came over to meet him, and the three of them met on the shoulders of the Star Destroyer.
"Did you find anything?" Dongfang Ruo asked.
Jin Yu said: "Yes, but it's not good news. You'd better be mentally prepared."
really……
Dongfang Ruo and Bai Ze looked at each other, but they were both ready to wake up now.
"Tell me, our time is precious."
Jin Yu nodded and said: "First of all, the ruins we are in now and the scene we see are not so-called illusions, but real existence. It is just a mirror space that does not blend with the dimension we are in, so I think
It's impossible to fast forward it."
Dongfang Ruo nodded. She had actually realized this last night, because a pure illusion could not be described in such detail, but it was acceptable because she had already seen what the mirror image in the sky was trying to convey.
"continue."
Jin Yu was a little surprised, but he didn't ask much and said directly: "In addition, after I confirmed that this mirror space was untouchable, I started looking for the edge. Then when I really found the edge and walked out, I discovered that the quantum origin
The internal structure and craftsmanship far exceed the current level of human science and technology. Its complexity and precision are even many levels higher than the first-generation star-level mecha next to me, so I can only hold the tourist in my arms.
I searched forward with an attitude, and I found many 'egg'-like things inside the Quantum Origin. Then through preliminary analysis, I determined that this was something similar to an incubator."
The first concept that came to Dongfang Ruo's mind after hearing this was "fire", but she was still surprised because she heard Jin Yudao next.
"But after determining their properties, I found that they seemed to have been damaged and could no longer function normally."
Dongfang Ruo felt a chill in her heart... The picture that came to her mind was that the Quantum Origin was destroyed when it approached Gaia, then fell, and then sank into the sea...
Many years later, it reappeared, but the huge wound still told all discoverers what happened on the day humans arrived on Gaia.
Bai Ze on the side also seemed to understand. He looked at Dongfang Ruo. Although he didn't explain it clearly and didn't have a very specific concept in his mind, he already knew that the crash of the Quantum Origin itself might be part of the truth!
After Jin Yu finished speaking, he looked at the two of them and continued: "The last and the worst part..."
besides?!
Dongfang Ruo is really not calm this time.
"...That is, all the information collected by the searchers I released shows that Lin Sen...is not here."
But when Dongfang Ruo finished listening, she started to laugh.
Isn't it just that he is not here... If Lin Sen was really inside the Quantum Origin, he would not leave these things to remind Dongfang Ruo.
But Lin Sen couldn't have just come to share what he saw. He should have left more things to guide Dongfang Ruo where to go next, or... where to find him.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Ruo asked Jin Yu: "Then do you have any other discoveries? For example, besides those kinds of fire? Have you seen some small white flowers?"
"Tinder?! Xiaohua?" Jin Yu thought for a while and then understood the former, but Xiaohua...
"Sorry, I didn't see Xiao Hua. There are only a huge number of fires here. Apart from that, there is nothing else. There is not even a trace of other deep-sea creatures surviving." Jin Yu's answer was very important to Dongfang Ruo.
It is undoubtedly a huge blow.
But Dongfang Ruo's mind was very active now. After thinking about it for a moment, she immediately realized a problem.
Quantum Origin is the carrier of fire. If the "fire" is built according to the superstring structure, then Quantum Origin itself is a world that can be freely and infinitely transformed.
But now Jin Yu said that he only saw those fire seeds, which means that the Quantum Origin is completely dead, and only then can it show its original design appearance.
However, as the mothership for human interstellar travel, Prometheus cannot remain in a dormant state for a long time and space, otherwise the meaning of its existence will disappear. Therefore, the Quantum Origin must have been designed for Prometheus in the first place.
A unique infinite space created by superstring structure.
There, Prometheus can enjoy this long interstellar journey comfortably and make strategic responses to complex interstellar voyages anytime and anywhere.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Ruo asked Jin Yu: "Then have you tried to find the core of the Quantum Origin?"
"Core?" Jin Yu was stunned, and then said "Oh!" "Why did I forget this! Core! That's right!"
Looking at Jin Yu's reaction, Dongfang Ruo just thought he was pretending to be surprised. After all, this person now represented only Lin Yan. Behind him was the digital world that had basically cut off contact with humans. This made Dongfang Ruo have to be more vigilant.
But he is still needed now, so if Dongfang doesn't act too smart, it would be too stupid.
But when Jin Yu launched the searcher again to investigate the Quantum Origin, the information he sent back showed that there was no so-called core inside the Quantum Origin, or...
"We are in big trouble. My searchers concluded that there is no core in our conventional sense inside the Quantum Origin." Jin Yu looked solemn.
After hearing this, Dongfang Ruo said calmly: "Can you share the data you searched with me? I have a friend who might be able to help."
Jin Yu was startled when he heard this, but he did not refuse.
"Oh? Yes, but things related to superstrings are too complicated. I'm not sure these data can really be analyzed in a short time." Jin Yu said this, but he had already condensed it into a
Azure crystals.
He gave the crystal to Dongfang Ruo.
Dongfang Ruo took it and said softly: "This friend of mine is a genius, she won't let me down."
As he spoke, the silver ring on Dongfang Ruo's wrist flashed twice, and then the crystals dissipated.
Jin Yu was dumbfounded, but he didn't show it, let alone ask... Because in that small move just now, Jin Yu had already determined that these humans in Dongfang Ruo might have already explored superstrings, because that
The structure of the silver ring was the same as the fire he saw.
"You are wary of me... ha..." Jin Yu smiled, he could understand, not to mention he didn't care about it.
But, superstring?
When did humans begin to control such great power?
This is far beyond Jin Yu's current knowledge and understanding, but these are not the focus. Now Jin Yu is more curious about who shot down the Quantum Origin?
Is it Kui?
Does that species whose civilization has collapsed for many years really have greater power than superstrings?
Jin Yu fell into thinking.
During this process, Dongfang Ruo also entered a meditative state.
…
When he opened his eyes again, a person completely made of fluorescent material appeared in front of Dongfang Ruo.
That was Manny, she was still studying "fire" in the dark underground.
But now she has a new goal, which is the blue crystal in her hand.
"This thing was given to me by him, I don't know if it is complete or not."
Manny smiled: "You'll know just by looking at it, but he is so conceited, so I guess he won't do anything."
As she spoke, Manny threw the crystal in front of her, then stretched out her hands and unfolded the blue crystal like pushing open a door.
Following the azure matrix, the darkness of the entire underground world was quickly dispersed, including the "fire" not far away.
Dongfang Ruo once again experienced the power of number sequence, she felt it, and then suddenly smiled.
Manny looked strange and couldn't help but said: "Huh? What's wrong, sister?"
Dongfang Ruo shook his head gently and said: "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered the words that master taught us when we were young."
"Oh?" Manny was multitasking. While continuing to unfold the matrix, she asked curiously: "What is it?"
Dongfang Ruo thought about it for a moment and said, "Actually, it's nothing. It was just that my junior sister was naughty when she was young and broke the crystal plate that the master used to watch dramas. Then the master blamed her, and she replied, 'It's just human technology, what's so great about it?'"
', and the result... haha, the master was furious and asked, 'Then show me the show!'"
After saying that, Dongfang Ruo smiled again.
But after listening to it, Manny looked confused, obviously not getting the funny point in this story.
Then what Dongfang Ruo said was not a joke, nor was it what she was laughing about, nor was it the naughtyness of junior sister Nalan Yue, but herself... She was finally able to understand the master's kind of excellence and humility in everything.
feeling.
Thinking back to himself at this time, Dongfang Ruo couldn't help but laugh.
However, Manny cannot understand these. She is currently busy analyzing the data collected by Jin Yu.
And when the matrix is completely expanded.
Manny was suddenly startled, then raised her hand and pulled, as if tearing off the cover on a picture scroll.
Then an endless wilderness appeared in front of her.
Dongfang Ruo was shocked when he saw this, and his heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.
"Where is this? What kind of place is this?" Dongfang Ruo asked.
Manny stood in a sea of flowers, with flowers exuding the breath of spring within reach.
The splendid scene is full of vigor and vitality.
After looking around, Manny replied: "This...should be what my sister is looking for...the place where Prometheus lived during his interstellar journey!"
