Escape from the Three-Body Problem to Super God

Chapter 367 Can you leave another five kilograms?

"The broadcast has been going on for 5 minutes and it's still going on!"

Sophon pointed to the window and continued: "Actually, the broadcast information is very short. It lasted so long because of the use of different languages. Now tens of thousands of languages ​​have appeared..."

"Oh, now there are [-] species!"

"Is this broadcast to all small universes?"

Cheng Xin asked.

"It must be, who else could it be? Using such a large amount of energy should be important information."

Guan Yifan replied for Tomoko.

"Is there a three-body and earth language?"

Liang Bing also asked.

"No."

Tomoko replied.

At this moment, several people also instantly understood that this is the life and death book of a cosmic civilization.

Now, tens of billions of years may have passed in the big universe, no matter what the content of the broadcast information is, if the language of a civilization can be listed in the broadcast information.

Then, there are only two possibilities. One is that this civilization still exists; or, this civilization has existed for a long time, and its culture has left a permanent imprint in the universe.

The second is that this civilization is considered non-existent, so the language of this civilization does not appear in the broadcast content.

A great river of symbols flows through the information window, and 20 languages ​​have been broadcast, 30, 40... until 100 million languages, and the number is still increasing.

The trisomic language and the earth language still haven't appeared yet.

However, when the language types of the broadcast had increased to about 130 million, Sophon suddenly shouted: "Three-body!"

And pointing to the display window with one hand, there is a message in the three-body script in the window. It is impossible for several people to see it clearly, but Sophon can see it clearly.

After a few seconds, Sophon called out again: "Earth!"

When the language types of the broadcast information reach 150 million, the broadcast ends and the scroll display in the information window disappears.

Only two messages written in Trisolaran and Earth language are displayed statically.

At this moment, Liang Bing didn't have any special psychological activities, after all, she didn't belong here.

But although Cheng Xin and Guan Yifan couldn't see the content of the message clearly, their eyes were still blurred by tears.

On the last judgment day of the universe, the two civilizations of the earth and the Trisolarans still exist.

Regardless of whether they can make it to the end, the two civilizations of the earth and the three-body problem seem to be able to...

They know that the evolution of language and writing is very fast. If the two civilizations have existed for a long time, or even still exist now, their writing must be completely different from what is displayed now, but for people in the small universe to understand, Can only be displayed in ancient script.

Compared with the total number of civilizations that have ever survived in the big universe, 150 million is a rather small number.

In the long night of the Orion spiral arm of the Milky Way, two meteors of civilization passed by, and the universe remembered their light.

When several people calmed down, Sophon also helped them read the content of the message carefully. The content written in the two languages ​​is the same, very short:
"Regression movement statement: The total mass of our universe is reduced below a critical value, the universe will change from closed to open, the universe will die in eternal expansion, and all life and memory will die.

Please return the mass you took and send only the memory to the new universe. "

Several people turned their eyes away from the return movement statement and looked at each other.

It seems that they both saw the dark prospect of the big universe through each other's eyes.

In eternal expansion, all galaxies will recede away from each other, out of their respective line of sight.

At that time, from any point in the universe, all directions will be a piece of darkness.

The stars will be extinguished one after another, the solid matter will disintegrate into thin nebulae, cold and darkness will rule everything, the universe will become an empty tomb, all civilizations and all memories will be buried forever in this endless tomb , everything dies forever.

In order to avoid this future, there is only one way to return the matter in a large number of small universes produced by different civilizations to the big universe.

But if this is done, people in the small universe will not be able to survive, and people in the small universe can only return to the large universe. This is the return movement.

"How many civilizations are willing to take the initiative to return it?"

Several people are worried about the success rate of returning to sports.

After all, before they fell into the black domain and entered the small universe, the environment of the big universe was already very bad.

Under such a large-scale cosmic environment, every space voyage can still get out of the difficult sense of sight, encounter areas that have been reduced in dimension, and fall into black areas at every turn...

Today, tens of billions of years may have passed in the big universe, what will it look like?

Is it true that as Sophon guessed, when several people stepped out of the small universe 647, they would instantly die in the dangerous environment of the big universe?
A few people dare not imagine, and they can't imagine it at all.

"So, what's your decision?"

After giving them enough time to think, Sophon spoke again.

The ownership of small universe 647 does not belong to her, it belongs to Cheng Xin, Guan Yifan, and Liang Bing.

Whether to return the mass of small universe 647 in response to the return movement, naturally, it has to be decided by the three of them.

However, this kind of choice seems to be a test of human nature, as long as you think about it, you don't think it is too difficult to choose.

At this moment, Zhang Heng in the virtual world also received the broadcast in a certain small universe, and his decision was to return the quality of the small universe.

His current decision is also the decision of Zhang Heng, the real three-body universe of the last zeroing cycle.

After all, possible death and inevitable death are two completely different options, which is a good choice.

But he won't be the first to return it.

"Since the outcome cannot be changed, the universe will die in eternal expansion, and we will all die that day."

In the small universe No. 647, after Sophon finished asking, Guan Yifan was the first to express his opinion: "It's a lifetime of carelessness, and a lifetime of vigor and vitality."

As he said before, he is studying a large universe with a diameter of 160 billion light-years, and he does not want to spend his life on a planet with only more than 1 kilometers, let alone a small universe with only more than 1000 kilometers. own life.

"I agree."

Cheng Xin quickly followed up and said that what Guan Yifan said was very much in line with her wishes.

As for Liang Bing, let alone, she has only one purpose, and that is to return to the known universe.

And this goal is simply impossible to achieve just by staying in the No. 647 small universe.

So, no matter how dangerous the big universe outside is, she is eager to go out and find the way back.

Otherwise, once the comeback movement officially starts and the universe restarts, she can't guarantee what she will become.

The decision of several people is unanimous.

Afterwards, Sophon immediately manipulated the gate of the small universe in the big universe through the control system of universe 647.

According to Zhang Heng, this door is the anchor point of space.

The door moves quickly in the big universe, looking for a suitable world for several people to live in.

But the gate of the small universe 647, the communication with the small universe can transmit very limited information, and cannot transmit images.

Only an assessment of the environment can be sent back, which is a number between negative ten and ten indicating the survival level of the environment.

Humans can only survive in an environment with a level greater than zero.

The door made tens of thousands of jumps and moves in the big universe. This process took three months, and only once detected a third-level environment. Sophon had to admit that this was the best result.

"The third-level environment is very harsh and dangerous!"

After getting the result, Tomoko said to several people.

"We're not afraid, let's go there."

Cheng Xin answered firmly, Guan Yifan and Liang Bing also nodded to Sophon.

Then, the door and the exit also appeared in universe 647.

This door is also the same as what a few people saw on the blue star. They also came in through a door when they came in before. It is a rectangle drawn by glowing straight lines, but it is much larger than the one on the blue star. It may be for the convenience of material transfer.

When the door first appeared, it was not connected to the larger universe, and any matter could pass through it to the other side.

When the sophon resets the parameters of the gate, the matter passing through the gate disappears, and they will appear in the grand universe.

Then, universe 647 began to return matter to the big universe.

Apparently, they were more or less desperate, and began to return the mass of the 647 small universe so quickly.

This going out plus returning the quality means that they can no longer turn back, even if they want to turn back, there will be no second small universe for them to turn back.

"The small universe itself has no mass, and its mass comes from the matter brought from the large universe."

"Among the hundreds of small universes created by Trisolaris, No. 647 belongs to the smallest category. It took away about 50 tons of matter from the large universe, which is equivalent to the carrying capacity of a large oil tanker in your AD century. , indeed insignificant on a cosmic scale."

Before returning the quality, Tomoko explained this sentence to several people before the official start.

Material handling begins with the soil.

Since the second harvest, the field has not been sown again. The robots used the small carts for agricultural work to load the wet soil. After that, the soil disappeared.

The soil was moved very quickly. Three days later, there was no grain of soil left in the small universe, and the few trees around the house were also brought into the door.

After the soil disappeared, a piece of metal ground appeared in the small universe.

The ground is made up of smooth metal plates, reflecting the sun like a mirror.

The robot removed the metal panels from one side of the ground and pushed them through the door piece by piece.

Under the opened ground on one side of the small world, a small spaceship was revealed.

This spaceship is more than ten meters long, but it condenses the most advanced technology of the Trisolaran world.

It is designed according to the ergonomics of human beings on the earth. It can take three passengers. It is equipped with two power systems of nuclear fusion and curvature drive. It has a mini ecological circulation system and hibernation device suitable for human beings.

Perhaps for the convenience of passing through the door of the small universe, its shape is slender and streamlined.

This spaceship was originally intended to be used by the people of universe 647 when they entered the new universe, and it could last for quite a long time before finding a suitable living environment in the new universe.

Now, they will ride it back to the big universe.

After the small universe has basically returned all the mass, in the space of the small universe, there is only a slender small spaceship and three people floating beside the ship.

Sophon is holding a metal box, which is what they want to leave in the small universe, a "drift bottle" to be sent to the new universe.

Its main body is a microcomputer, and the quantum memory of the computer stores all the information of the host computer in the small universe, which is almost the entire memory of the Trisolarans and the civilization of the earth.

When the new universe is born, the metal box will receive a signal from the door, and then use its own small thruster to pass through the door and enter the new universe.

It will float in the high-dimensional space of the new universe, waiting for the day to be picked up and interpreted.

At the same time, it will use the neutrino beam to continuously broadcast the information stored by itself, if there are neutrinos in the new universe.

Cheng Xin, who advocated doing this, seemed to feel that other small universes, those small universes that responded to the appeal of the return movement, were doing the same thing.

If a new universe is born, it will contain many bottles from the old universe.

It can be believed that a considerable part of the information stored in the memory of the drifting bottle may reach such a level: it records all the memories and consciousness of each individual in that civilization, as well as all the biological details of each individual, so that all the people in the new universe A civilization can restore that civilization based on this information.

"Can you leave another five kilograms?"

At this time, Cheng Xin suddenly asked.

She was on the other side of the spaceship, wearing a space suit, holding a glowing transparent sphere in her hand.

The diameter of the sphere is about half a meter, and there are several water spheres floating inside, some with a few small fish swimming inside, and some with green algae growing inside; there are also two floating miniature lands with tender green grass growing on them.

The light emanated from the top of the sphere, where mounted a small luminary, the sun of the small world.

This is a fully enclosed ecological sphere, the result of more than ten days of work by Cheng Xin and Sophon. As long as the little sun inside the sphere can still shine, this small ecological system can survive.

As long as it stays here, universe 647 is not a lifeless dark world.

"It should be possible. The big universe won't stop collapsing just because of these five kilograms."

Before Sophon could answer, Guan Yifan said uncertainly.

Of course, he still has an unspoken idea; maybe the big universe will really change from closed to open because of the mass difference of one atom.

The ingenuity of nature sometimes exceeds imagination. For example, the birth of life requires the precise cooperation of various cosmic parameters with a precision of one billionth of a billionth.

But Cheng Xin can still keep her ecological ball, because in the countless small universes created by countless civilizations, there must be a considerable part of them that do not respond to the call to return to the movement. Therefore, the mass of the big universe that was eventually taken away was at least several hundred million tons. It could even be hundreds of billions of billions of tons.

If this idea is correct, then we can only hope that the big universe can ignore this error.

Otherwise, they would not be able to imagine the consequences...

Afterwards, the fusion engine started, the thrusters emitted a faint blue light, and the spacecraft slowly passed through the gate of the universe.

In the small universe, only the drifting bottle and the ecological ball are left, and the drifting bottle is hidden in the darkness. In the 1000-meter-square universe, only the little sun in the ecological ball emits a little light.
