Chapter 594 The Story of a Good Mother

"That's a sweet little guy," said Jules. "Maybe you know him too. A charming and deadly killer who followed your stalker, who found us in the base and killed the man you executed. The surgical me. Luckily, my backup was close to the base, and was accompanied by a shuttle. I met it in no time. It said its name was…”

"I think I know who it is." Ji Xun interrupted, "I've also considered the possibility of you being awakened early—however, I thought you would have more backups."

"Yes, far more than you imagined, Mr. Ji Xun. This is arranged by the system, and your memory reading technology cannot check it."

Jules blinked slightly.Her pink irises shone with a gridded shimmer.In Ji Xun's memory, these eyes are unique among the immortals.

"But I'm still confused," she continued, "even if we have some backup, it's nothing compared to what's in the base. And since you managed to take our most important stronghold, why didn't you tell us to kill them all? With It doesn't take much time to wipe out our backups compared to the time you've spent exploring here. Yes, I think you're letting us go on purpose."

Ji Xun didn't answer, he had a polite look on his face that he didn't intend to debate.

"I don't know what you're thinking, Mr. Ji Xun." Zhu Er said, "Our last meeting was quite hasty. Maybe you heard about this city from my children, and then you were in a hurry Entering this city. You don't want to waste time discussing with us, but you don't intend to completely deprive us of the opportunity to defend ourselves. Or you are worried that you will still need us to explain how to use the slicer after you come out ..."

"I don't think it's necessary."

"I thank you anyway." The old man replied, "I didn't wake everyone up, because I thought it was worth having a conversation between us. This is an exploratory attempt, for my... ex-colleagues, I Guess they don't have to get involved right away. I have a lot of respect for Weiss' integrity. After all, he maintains the last base very well and actively eliminates all threats. However, he lacks a bit of pioneering spirit, which will make us miss valuable opportunities. As we have from What I learned in the design work is that everyone should play their role in the right place."

She smiled haughtily and smugly, and made a good sign.However, when Ji Xun saw this gesture, the expression on his face slowly disappeared.

"I suppose," he said, "that your ex-colleagues are just taking a break from the project?"

"Maybe some of them will drop out permanently."

"I'm surprised." Ji Xun said, "When facing me, the first thing you did was reduce your own kind. It's not logical."

"What is the same kind, Mr. Ji Xun?" Zhu Er asked, "Blood relationship or common experience? After you see this city, you should understand that all of this is meaningless. Here, there is only one thing that divides life into categories." , that is thought."

"For infinity," Ji Xun said, "thoughts are just as meaningless as bodies. Both structures and classes are unstable."

Jules looked at him with interest. "I'm not sure that's what I meant."

"You really don't understand." Ji Xun replied, "Before your calculator was activated, you gave it a countable infinite structure so that it could exhaust the expressive power of the physical level. This does not involve the issue of models—for To those who study this step, it's called a first-order wishing machine."

"The Wishing Machine." Jules repeated, "That's a very loose term."

“It’s a kind of generalization that leaves room for it,” Ji Xun responded, “it’s very difficult to properly name the parts that are more expressive than our ability to describe.”

"So what do you guys call it? For these 'more expressive parts'?"

"The outside world divides them into six levels."

"You created a six-level wishing machine?"

"No, Level [-] is a breadth beyond theory. So far, we only know what Level [-] is - that's about the choice of axiomatic system, and the creator of it named it 'Unbounded Large', but in In general discussion, I think 'true class' is a more common usage."

Ji Xun spoke briefly.He had no intention of explaining more, but the listener showed a professional interest.She obviously wanted to ask the other party to continue, but Ji Xun shook her head briskly.

"We digressed too long," he said. "Please tell me about your creation of the first-level wishing machine."

"I think you already know most of it from Wes' head."

"Narrative and point of view can change the same story beyond recognition."

Jules stood up quietly.The most beautiful old man wandered around the room again.Her demeanor between pondering was mixed with arrogance and sadness.

"I was born at a very bad time, Mr. Ji Xun." She said, "When my parents gave birth to me in the new capital, the final conclusion of astronomy had already told us when the universe would be destroyed. But it was a very bad time." Let's have a surprise result. The world will end in ice - this is a popular lyric of our time, telling us that heat death will be the end of the universe. But the person who wrote the song and the astronomers of his time were all wrong. The universe did not choose an eternal and peaceful death, what we encountered was a big crunch."

"Singularity contraction?"

"I think we're saying the same thing."

"Then, that means there's a new expansion after that. Your universe will be born again."

Jules gave him a thoughtful look.But she said nothing about it.

"New universes will still be born," she said, "and the world will cycle over and over again. That's good news for nature—permit me to use a little animism here—but from our standpoint, new universes are in no way Pointless. We have to escape this big squeeze, or the story ends here. All necessary resources for this were gathered and transported to the last colony destroyed in the simulation, which we then called the New Capital. It is difficult for you to see our grand occasion from the ruins left today, Mr. Ji Xun, all the scholars that can be found in the universe are all in that city, trying to find a way to continue."

"I admit it's a fascinating sight." Ji Xun echoed, "The last epic in the universe."

"We're trying to stop the big squeeze, even if it's just a theoretical solution." The most beautiful old man said, "Hundreds of stellar years were wasted. This matter is unsolvable, Mr. Ji Xun, this is Like living beings moving without aging. We have assumed how to use a gravitational shield to buffer, or move to a certain space inside the singularity-yes, for other possibilities outside the universe, we have not yet had Come to a conclusion. Maybe we can escape to a place where we haven't been squeezed."

"Very enlightening idea." Ji Xun said calmly, "You may find that shrinking the universe is not the biggest problem."

"That's just the biggest problem," Juul said. "Imagine being in a closed tank, the tank walls are collapsing every second. Some parameters that were once stable are changing. With our own state... that's hard to explain. With all the research we were doing at the time, I doubt anyone could ever quite sort it out. I can't tell you what the biology was trying to do, just that they were trying to switch Lifeforms - Psychic Waves may survive this squeeze. However, they all clearly fail. We don't have enough time to do it all. We waste too many opportunities. In the 900 billion year lifespan of the universe , we occupy only the tiniest sliver of the end, like the last drop of water before an ocean dries up. No matter how slowly that drop evaporates, it cannot reverse the drying up of the entire ocean, but that became a source of inspiration— —If the drop of water ceases to exist after ten seconds, at what moment does it leave the last basic substance?”

Ji Xun quickly smiled.

"I see," he said. "You have constructed an intrinsic supermission."
