Escape from the Three-Body Problem to Super God

Chapter 404: Zeroing and restarting, this is a last resort self-rescue

After some explanations from the Returners, Zhang Heng and Yun Tianming did not continue to ask any more questions.

After all, based on their level of knowledge of the two, for the Zero Returners, it can simply be described as ignorance.

Therefore, if they continue to ask, they may never run out of questions.

After the two of them stopped communicating with each other consciously, the Pangu No. [-] Yuanverse, which was also the three-body Yuanuniverse, finally officially began to return to zero!

Zhang Heng, whose conscious body is in the ten-dimensional non-material universe, at this moment, seemed to hear the wailing of all living beings in the Pangu No. [-] Yuanverse!
The wailing sound was mixed with unwillingness, despair, resentment... and other negative emotions that Zhang Heng knew.

Among them, there are many civilizations and many beings who have done nothing wrong at all. They live just to live.

But today, the universe they live in is destroyed!

At this moment, Zhang Heng also seemed to see the people on earth who had not left, including Luo Ji.

Even though the Luo Ji of the current Trisolaran Universe is not the Luo Ji of the past, he is still so calm when facing death.

"Children, once the sun sets, it will never rise again, just like if I close my eyes, I will never open them again. Do you regret staying like this?"

At this time, Luo Ji, who was already very old, was half lying on a rocking chair in front of the courtyard, looking at the dark red solar system and talking to a group of young people.

At this moment, he also realized what was about to happen.

But, I didn’t expect it to come so quickly!

But if it weren't for the rapid development of Earth's technology during the years when the angel civilization was in the solar system, he would have died long ago and would not be alive today.

Now, he himself does not regret the decision not to leave.

It's just that he feels it's a pity for these young people left on the earth!
Luo Ji's old voice finished speaking, but no young man answered him.

In the face of death, how many people do not feel regret before dying?

That is the most primitive survival instinct of living things. Even at the last moment, you still want to struggle, even if it is a useless psychological struggle.

Therefore, they really can't say such things as "no regrets".

Silently, as the dark red sun turned into light red, then gradually turned translucent, until it disappeared from the horizon, and the existence of the sun could no longer be observed with any astronomical telescope.

At this time, it was the Earth’s turn to fall...

Starting with all the basic matter in the universe, everything is heading in the direction it came from, returning to the singularity again.

This is return to zero!
……

"If you look at this behavior from an angel's point of view, it should be more evil than the so-called evil, right?"

What was happening in the universe was vividly visible, and Zhang Heng couldn't help but think so for a while.

A universe was destroyed, and along with it were the countless creatures in it!
And although he was not the executioner, he was the executioner's accomplice.

“I once thought that treating life as numbers was enough to sum up the insignificance of life, but I didn’t realize that a series of numbers is actually very huge!”

Yun Mingyun felt the same as Zhang Heng about the shock of returning to the universe. Although he has now become the supreme leader of the Trisolaran civilization, he has seen countless rebirths and destructions for hundreds of millions of years.

However, when he personally witnessed the destruction of a universe, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness deep in his heart.

Using human idioms to describe it, we might call this emotion "sorrow for the death of a rabbit and a fox".

Yes, as a being in the same universe, even though he is now transcendent from most beings, he still belongs to all living beings in this universe.

How can I not be sad when I suddenly see a large number of lives passing away due to restarting?

"Don't have any psychological burden. If we restart like this, they will not be able to avoid facing the natural heat death of the universe in the future. This is destined and unavoidable."

"And if we want to rewrite this destiny, we will have to sacrifice something."

"Sacrificing them also sacrifices all the characteristics of our beings, including but not limited to the so-called personal emotions and morality."

"From the moment we start to restart, we are no longer life, that is, we represent the new universe. All actions can only serve the arrival of the new universe."

"When necessary, even sacrificing ourselves is not a bad idea!"

said the Zeroers.

This is true. When the universe was restarted to the last moment, they were included in it.

In the face of a [-]-[-] restart success rate, half of them may die together with the heat death of the entire universe!
But even if the nullifiers say this, Zhang Heng at this moment still can't look directly at the life of a universe that has been nullified like this. After all, he is now a living being with a perceptual psychology, and is no longer the ruthless person. A rational consciousness that obeys calculations.

However, Zhang Heng did not say anything more about this, and instead asked the zeroers: "The Pangu No. [-] metauniverse, which also belongs to the large universe, has begun to return to zero. What about the remaining small universes?"

He personally handled the broadcasting matters in the Trisolaran Universe. At this moment, of course he also knew how many civilizations had not responded to the return movement and returned the mass of the small universe.

There are even a large number of civilizations hiding in their own small universes to avoid the return to zero of the universe.

"Those small universe quality issues that are lost and cannot be retrieved should not affect the final result."

said the Zeroers.

But Zhang Heng noticed that they used an uncertain tone.

In other words, in fact, they are not 100% sure whether the failure to get back the mass that was taken away to build the small universe will affect the final restart of the universe.

"If this reset to zero is the same as before, there may still be no problem, but I always feel that the lost mass of the small universe is very important."

Zhang Heng also said.

He also expressed his long-standing worries, which he had had since he learned that Cheng Xin had secretly kept five kilograms of mass.

Although the universe was successfully restarted later, Zhang Heng was still worried about this as he said.

"We had concerns about it, but we couldn't fix it."

Those who returned to zero were also helpless.

The small universe, which takes the mass from the large universe and then creates a universe by itself, can be said to be a BUG in the universe.

Take the most basic law of conservation of energy as an example. Energy will neither be created nor disappear out of thin air. It will only be converted from one form to another, or transferred from one object to other objects. The total amount remains the same.

It can also be expressed as: the change of the total energy of a system can only be equal to the amount of energy transferred into or out of the system.So, the total energy in the universe has always been constant, right?
Then what virtue and ability can civilization have to allow them to disappear into the universe and go to a place that cannot even be affected by the return to zero and is completely separated from the universe?

After all, according to the conservation of energy, the mass that was taken away to build the small universe should theoretically still be in the large universe, right?
"Also, the small universe will eventually be unable to support it due to the disappearance of the large universe, and the final destination of the mass is also very puzzling to us."

The zeroers continued.

In the past, when the universe was reset to zero, many civilizations were often unwilling to return the mass of their small universes. Just like these civilizations in the three-body metaverse now, they have been hiding in their own small universes until the end.

However, after the restart and the arrival of the new universe, these civilizations that had not returned to the big universe could no longer be found in the new universe.

In this regard, the top civilizations can only draw conclusions for those small universes that did not return before returning to zero.

It is believed that whether it is the mass of the small universe that has not returned or the civilization that has remained in the small universe and has not returned, after the large universe completely returned to zero and became a singularity, they could no longer persist and self-destructed.

Otherwise, there would be no reason why they would not want to return to life in the new universe after its arrival.

After all, no matter how good the small universe is, how can it be as good as the small universe of the eighth world of the Trisolaran Civilization?

Even the eighth world of the Trisolaran civilization still chooses to live in the large universe most of the time, which is enough to prove that no matter how perfect the small universe is, it cannot compare with the large universe.

Unless it can reach the level of the metaverse.

But when it reaches the level of the metaverse, it can no longer be said to be a small universe.

Of course, there is another possibility.

That is, the universe after reset to zero, no matter how much it looks like before on the surface, cannot be the same universe as before.

And those civilizations that stayed in the small universe have actually lost contact with the big universe forever.

It can also be said that they are all trapped in their own small universe forever.

Because the only door that connects the small universe to the big universe, that is, the spatial anchor point, was completely cleared when the big universe returned to zero.

When the new universe arrives, the small universe that has not returned has no door or spatial anchor to the new universe, so it will naturally lose contact.

Regarding these two statements, although Zhang Heng still prefers the latter.

However, it is estimated that not many of those small universes that have not returned can persist until now.

Because there is another result that is bound to happen, that is, the small universe will also die of heat.

Even the big universe has a lifespan, let alone the small universe?
Therefore, it is estimated that none of the small universes that have not returned in the last zeroing cycle and have not returned in the past can continue to exist.

"In fact, the total mass of the universe has been decreasing and has never stopped."

The Zeros continued.

They, who have led the reset and restart again and again, are naturally very sure of this.

No one knows better than them how much the total mass of the universe was from the beginning to how much is left now.

"So, is it possible that in the small universe after natural heat death, the mass will break the conservation of mass and disappear directly?"

"In other words, they formed another singularity, somewhere we cannot observe."

At this time, Yun Tianming also said.

But this is just an argument that has not yet been resolved. After all, all civilizations in the universe, not even the top zeroers, have ever seen what the universe looks like during natural heat death.

Therefore, it is hard to say whether the law of conservation of energy will still exist after the natural heat death of the universe.

Because the so-called conservation of energy is limited to the singularity that forms the universe.

When the natural heat death of the universe returns to the singularity, will its own energy also leak out? It is not impossible to go to a place that no civilization can observe.

"We have thought about the issues you are thinking about, and even all the alliances have thought about them, but as long as it involves the outside of the universe, it is beyond our knowledge."

"We are actually no different from the civilizations that are being reset to zero at this moment. We are both born in this universe and cannot transcend this universe."

"But we don't have much time to think about it anymore. This is not a big gamble, but a self-rescue. No matter whether we succeed or not, we must do it unswervingly to save ourselves and the word "civilization" s future."

While the Zero Returners were talking, the return to zero of the entire three-body universe was almost coming to an end.

At present, all the lives and civilizations in the three-body universe that have been forcibly returned to zero, although they look very sad, will make all human beings moved when they see them.

However, the Zeroers are right, this is a last resort self-rescue.

If self-rescue is successful, civilization may still have a future without the natural heat death of the universe.

Failure to save yourself is just the difference between late annihilation and early annihilation!
The word civilization, in the eyes of the Returners, no longer seems to be a separate group, but a large group.

For a civilization, if a few individuals can continue to exist, that is the continuation of the civilization.

Similarly, as long as a small number of civilizations in a large collective in the universe can continue to exist, they will be the continuation of all civilizations in the universe.

Then, in this scene that all witnesses will be moved by, the three-body universe returns to zero and ends!
Zhang Heng, who is in the ten-dimensional non-material space, can no longer feel any material existence.

It was a void, going from ten dimensions to eleven dimensions at the microscopic level.

"You should be well prepared. Our pace will not stop for too long, and we cannot stop."

Later, the Returners expressed another layer of meaning to Zhang Heng.

"Are we going to take tough measures against other alliances' metaverses?"

Zhang Heng asked.

"It's not time yet. The remaining Yuan Universe of Pangu Civilization will be divided up by the alliances before it's too late. This is our primary goal."

said the Zeroers.

Based on strategic considerations, even though the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance is very strong, it currently has the support of many alliances that have changed their tone.

However, the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance still cannot face the huge pressure from all the alliances in the universe combined.

Therefore, it is not yet time to completely break up with other opposition alliances.
