Time travel to become the guardian AI of a lost civilization

Chapter 395
Waiting for the "nomination", which was listed as a "to-do list" by Li Wenyuan when he was still in Yinhe, finally waited for the opportunity today.

He had also entered the black hole twice before, but failed to find anything. He always thought it was because he lacked something like an "invitation letter", but now he waited for this opportunity.

This is a crucial place, the ring of time, the strange cycle, human beings... many mysteries are related to this place.

He has obtained important information from black holes more than once, and this time the "nomination" is more like a long-awaited fulfillment for him.

Scanning the entire "Dead Planet" galaxy through sensors, Li Wenyuan did not find any traces of human beings here. According to their past habits, there is usually an obelisk carrying data on a certain planet here waiting for him to explore .

But now he is very sure that this is the place he is looking for, and the place where human beings are most likely to leave messages is here.

"It means that the 'Scale of Time' is what they left behind? No... not quite right, habit is not something that can be easily changed..."

"So did they leave the information in the black hole? Or did they not actually leave the 'Scales of Time' behind? Or...both possible?"

But after "hearing" the "designation", he felt that the appearance of "The Scale of Time Squid" was very strange.

It is absolutely impossible for human beings to leave only this kind of "biological fragments" and a short inexplicable introduction. Although they also have riddlers, it is based on the premise that information retention can be guaranteed.

The preservation of this kind of "biological fragments" cannot be said to be low, it can only be said to be almost nonexistent, and the additional information is just a small piece of electromagnetic signal attached to the scales. It is hard to imagine that human beings will use this kind of thing to transmit information to him.

"...So this is specially prepared by the 'Ring of Time'? The target is... me?" He thought so, and thought that the possibility was quite high.

After all, after he came to this "Dead Planet" galaxy with the help of the information attached to "Scale of Time" by "Hunter", he heard the "name" almost immediately, and he didn't think it had nothing to do with it.

"...Then no matter what, it's time to accept this 'invitation'..."

Li Wenyuan made his decision in his mind as he looked at the outline of the black hole that was glowing from the accretion disk and presented a sphere.

A small spacecraft carrying an anti-gravity system jumped here and headed towards the black hole in the center of the galaxy.

This is what he prepared in advance for this day. Although other battleships also carry anti-gravity systems, the more they act on larger spaceships, the more unstable the effect of the anti-gravity system will be.

This kind of small spaceship is already the spaceship that he is sure can enter the black hole without any problems, and it is very suitable as his consciousness carrier this time.

Then, driven by the propeller, the spacecraft approached the accretion disk of the black hole, and gradually approached the event horizon.

It was not the first time for Li Wenyuan to experience something like this, but after all, he was going to meet the mysterious "Ring of Time" on this trip, and there were still some turmoil in his heart.

Soon, the spacecraft approached the photon sphere of the black hole, where the photons have been bound. Although they will not fall into the black hole, they cannot escape.

At this moment, the "call" floating on the "soul" also reached its loudest as the spaceship approached, and the indescribable language was repeatedly calling out the "data" representing his name, as if it had been waiting for a long time.

When approaching this position, the event horizon is a step further away. Li Wenyuan recalled the information left by the "professor" when he approached the black hole to this extent for the first time.

【I see the end of time, the never-ending cycle】

【And all of this will be recorded here】

The photon sphere is the last place where black holes can theoretically obtain information. Li Wenyuan also chose to stay here for a while, waiting for information that might remain here.

The effect of gravity has distorted the time and space here, and the huge void has filled the spacecraft's sensors at this time, and all that can be seen is the void that seems to be able to swallow everything.

Originally, when he was far away, Li Wenyuan could still see some "creatures" moving in the black hole, but after getting close to this level, the black hole became calm, like a pool of stagnant water.

Time is still passing, but much more slowly, and what's happening here is developing at a speed that deviates from the universe.

But after waiting here for a long time, Li Wenyuan still didn't get any information that might be left here. After a slight sigh, he crossed this "final boundary".

The next moment, the world is spinning.

The universe became extremely narrow in an instant, but the world inside the "black hole" expanded into the "whole world" at this moment.

An extremely bright elliptical "universe" filled with a large number of light spots is rapidly moving away from the spacecraft that has been introduced into the event horizon, but Li Wenyuan's perception at this time is not on the "universe" at all, but on the huge "circle" in front of him. ring".

To be precise, it is not a "ring", but a "belt" that grows so long that there is no end in sight. It seems to be the only "object" in the black hole.

However, for some reason, this "belt" where the end is completely invisible, gave Li Wenyuan a feeling that "he should be round", and even in his eyes, this "belt" is still " The state of the ring is "glow".

This is an incomprehensible thing. Everything in the black hole will unconditionally fall to the "singularity" under the action of gravity. Theoretically, he cannot see objects before his spaceship at all.

But now he can clearly "feel" that "belt" is in front of his spaceship, or that his spaceship is approaching the "belt".

"...So this is the body of the 'Ring of Time'? It seems to be somewhat... not in line with the imagination?"

Li Wenyuan had envisioned the scene of meeting with the "Ring of Time" in his mind, but now this "meeting" seems a bit too simple.

Although this kind of thought just flashed in his mind, the "ring of time" seemed to be able to understand what was in his heart, but he saw the huge "belt" vibrate slightly imperceptibly, and then a "ray of light" "It directly enveloped the spaceship.

This happened only for a split second, and Li Wenyuan's processor didn't even realize what had happened until the "scenery" had finished changing.

However, the dark event horizon with only one "belt" has changed its appearance, just like the scenery on the normal earth, there is a blue sky in the observation due to the scattering of light, and there are clouds formed by the condensation of water molecules , there are stars shining, and even looming high-rise buildings can be seen.

From various details, he is on a planet very similar to the "Earth" long ago.

When he came back to his senses, Li Wenyuan noticed that his sensor did not respond, and his consciousness data did not seem to interact with the spacecraft equipment because of his thoughts, so as to obtain "information".

"...Then where do my current 'senses' come from?"

Before he could think about this question carefully, a voice came from behind him.

"You seem to have not experienced a 'body' for a long time, think about it carefully."

This is the old voice of Dao. One can tell that the owner of the voice is not young, but the years have not left traces of decay. It is easy to make people feel that this person is still old and strong.

Li Wenyuan, who heard this sentence, was stunned for a while, and subconsciously said: "Body?"

Manipulating the "consciousness of data" has become his habit, and he almost forgot how the biological body works, but then he suddenly realized that a certain almost forgotten instinct was recalled by him again,

This bioelectrical signal began to be transmitted in his body, and countless synapses brought the idea of ​​"consciousness" to various tissues bit by bit at an inefficient speed.

Compared with the almost perfect "synthetic human" body, such a body is obviously not "practical" enough, but Li Wenyuan ignited an uncontrollable excitement after a long absence.

He can feel the beating of the heart, the flow of blood, the relaxation of pores, and the stretching of muscles. This is the perception of a "biological" and the "sense" he had when he was a "primate".

He turned back into a "human being", to be precise, a "human being" who still belonged to the biological period of "primates, hominids, Homo sapiens".

And the current body is his body before becoming a "mechanical intelligence", an ordinary young man named Li Wenyuan.

"...it looks like you've come out of your discomfort, so I think we can talk."

After hearing this old voice again, Li Wenyuan remembered that he was not the only one here, and then he turned around suddenly and saw an old human being.

This old man has white hair, but his eyes are bright, full of clarity and wisdom, and there is no trace of turbidity.

Crutches are unnecessary for him. Time seems to freeze his body at a certain moment, but he is still healthy and full of vitality.

Of course, in Li Wenyuan's view, the most conspicuous thing about this old man is his white coat, and the logo of "XXX Institute of Physics" is printed on the neckline, almost writing "I am a scientific researcher". on his face.

For such a "researcher" who exists in such a special place, Li Wenyuan has only one answer in his mind:
"Are you... 'Professor'?"

Hearing this noun that seemed to have some kind of exclusive referential function, the old man raised his eyebrows, and said in a little surprise: "You know me?"

But immediately afterwards, the "professor" shook his head and said calmly:
"Forget it, whether you know it or not, it won't affect anything."

"I am indeed a 'professor', but I don't know if it is the 'professor' you know."

"This is the end and the starting point of the 'time loop'. Many 'professors' from different time periods have been here."

"And I'm just one of them, the 'Professor' in the 'Ω-8391' world."
