Chapter 448: Out of the reach of manpower
Whether you admit it or not, an objective reality cannot be changed - the fragmented world is a fragmented world that exists in the long river of time, and since it is similar to the nature of memory fragments, its meaning is not much different from that of a "simulated city" under normal circumstances.
If you want to talk about the difference, it is probably larger in scale than "SimCity".
A fragment that is completely modeled after the real world is also considered a big deal from a certain point of view.
Regardless of how this memory fragment is generated, there may be some more complicated things involved, but one thing is very clear, that is, compared to the real world from which Su Yuan came, this is a relatively "illusory" world, it has no real value of its own, and even the "origin" may have stolen the "number jΓΉ" of the real world. And what's even more terrifying is that because of the existence of zΓ i in the long river of time, the fragmented world is being eroded by the long river of time all the time, and one day it will disappear completely!
So what is the significance of its appearance and disappearance? Is it just to give itself a restrained "existing" value?
Thinking of this, Su Mengyuan couldn't help but feel stunned, as if he had lost his pursuit all of a sudden.
This kind of loss is not difficult to understand at all, just imagine what it would be like if you found out that you were just a substitute for someone, or even a clone of her, and everything you worked so hard for no longer had meaning.
It is human nature to be confused and lost. Because the most important thing for a person to exist in this world is self-worth, whether it is self-recognition or being recognized by others. In short, there should not be a situation where the self is equal to zero, if one day you suddenly find that your value is equal to zero for the world. Even the value of this world is equal to zero, and the trauma caused to the soul is collapse.
"What's wrong with you?" Su Yuan saw Su Mengyuan's expression strange. A guess suddenly flashed through my mind, and I became nervous.
However, Su Mengyuan is not as fragile as she imagined, in the end, he is a person who has crawled countless times in the fragmented world, and he has long been numb to this "setback", Su Mengyuan pouted mockingly: "It feels strange to suddenly find that my background is not orthodox enough." β
Su Yuan choked, glared at her, and looked at her.
"Alright, don't worry about me. A person's existence is nothing more than relying on the two carriers of the body and memory, I am a person with a full set of memories and ways of thinking of 'Su Yuan', and I am no different from you physically, theoretically there is no difference between me and you!"
"Uh-huh. Su Yuan nodded again and again.
Su Mengyuan smiled softly and said, "Then let's talk about my experience, although it happened in the fragmented world, it can also be used for reference." β
"Well, you say. β
Su Mengyuan said eloquently: "The previous experience is the same as yours, and I also used [backtracking] to save Ye Hao again and again. But what about the result...... But I didn't have an accident like you did when [Backtracking] couldn't be used, so I just [Backtracked] again and again until one day...... I knew that I couldn't [backtrack] anymore, and the spatial rift was getting more and more intense. If you continue to [backtrack], the whole world may collapse......"
ββ¦β¦ Then I escaped from Panzhou with Gao Jun, just like you, and I was separated from Gao Jun when I was in Hongdu City. Su Mengyuan paused when he said this. The expression was a little moved: "I don't know when I found that every time this world is close to twelve o'clock in the morning, the time will be turned back to half past one in the morning more than twenty hours ago. And then the same cycle goes on and on. β
"In each cycle, everyone around me, except me, does not have the memory of the previous cycle. It's like a programmed person or a puppet that has been cast a spell, immersed in a cycle without any emotions with the world. At the time, I guessed that the reason why I kept my memories might be because I had mastered the [Backtrack] ability, and I had some immunity in terms of time. β
Su Yuan couldn't stop nodding when she heard this, and she also guessed that the reason why she was able to retain her memories was because she was immune to time.
"Then how many times have you looped in total, and do you have any whereabouts of Gao Jun?"
Su Mengyuan shook his head regretfully: "I don't know how many times I've cycled, in short, there are many, many more." At first, I was a little scared, but gradually I found out the pattern, and I was not so afraid. I have searched for Gao Jun, and I have also planned a route, and I have followed a different route to find it every time, and the farthest time I found the edge of Xijiang Province and Donghai Province, but I didn't find him. β
Su Yuan pondered: "Could it be that Gao Jun is not in Xijiang Province?"
"It's possible. β
"By the way, when the world was reshaped, where did you start over?" Su Yuan asked a more crucial question, the answer to this question directly determined whether they would continue to stay to find Gao Jun or leave this fragmented world directly.
If Su Mengyuan's "reset" location is far away from the location of the purple wall curtain, it means that they can withstand a few more reshapes, but if the "reset" location is already relatively close to the purple wall curtain, it means that this place should not stay for a long time.
"Hongdu City!" Su Mengyuan shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "The purple wall curtain from the east is getting closer and closer, if I hadn't met you today, I guess this time would have been my last remodeling." β
As for the next remodeling, due to the fact that Hongdu City was swallowed by the purple wall, Su Mengyuan was about to disappear from this world.
Hearing this answer, Su Yuan was silent for a while, looked at Su Mengyuan seriously and said, "So we can't stay until twelve o'clock tonight, we must leave this world before the remodeling begins!"
Su Mengyuan sighed: "If you want to live, maybe you can only do this." β
"Then it's decided!"
Su Yuan thought about it carefully and said: "The energy of the Eternity has probably been replenished by about half, I will ask it to send a space machine to find Gao Jun, and I should make one last effort, if we don't find it before nine o'clock tonight, we can only give up looking." We'll return to Eternity together after nine o'clock, and then I'll have Eternity start the rest of the Aero Engines and try to get some more energy out of the Shard before it can be reshaped. β
Su Mengyuan nodded, indicating that he understood.
Next, Su Yuan used his watch to contact the Eternity, and asked it to send countless space weapons to find Gao Jun's whereabouts.
Until half past eight in the evening, all parties reported that there was no whereabouts of Gao Jun.
At this time, Hongdu City had disappeared into the purple wall.
"Alas, it looks like I can't find Gao Jun, either he's not in this fragmented world, or ...... He had already been swallowed by the purple wall...... "Su Yuan had to plan for the worst.
Su Mengyuan also showed disappointment, and muttered: "Yes, until now, I have some doubts about whether I appeared in the cycle from the beginning. Is the memory of leaving Panzhou with Gao Jun a real experience, or is it just a filled 'memory'? Maybe I was circulated in this fragmented world as soon as I was 'born'. β
Su Yuan glanced at her, not knowing what to say.
At nine o'clock, Su Yuan and Su Mengyuan took the space machine together and returned to the Eternity located in the west.
This is the first time that Su Yuan has looked at the entire ship of the Eternity in full light, the length of the ship is 100 kilometers, the width is 10 kilometers, and the height is 8 kilometers, and the whole body is silver and bright, like a vibrant dragon, more magnificent than a large city, such a behemoth appears in front of him, and the shock is incomparable.
No one could have imagined that not so long ago it was an antique ship covered in rust and about to be scrapped.
"Eternity, turn on the remaining air engines now, and extract energy with all your might!"
"Ordered!"
"Wait. Su Yuan shouted again, "If we detect abnormal fluctuations in this fragmented world, stop the extraction of energy immediately, we must leave here as soon as possible!"
"Understood!"
β¦β¦
Inside the Eternity.
With sufficient energy, the vast plains are adjusted by the climate control system to be breezy and sunny, and the vast meadows are constantly swaying green shoots in gusts of breeze. If you don't say that this is the inside of a spaceship, it will only make people think that you have come to the savannah.
In front of the temple, Su Yuan and Su Mengyuan looked up at the spherical navigation chart, they were gradually "moving away" from the fragmented world at the moment. After the Eternity's massive extraction of energy, the fragmented world, which was already on the verge of shattering, became even more disorganized, like a leaf gnawed by insects, and I don't know how many more times it can persist in reshaping.
Possible...... The next reinvention will be the end of this world, which will completely disintegrate in the long river of time.
It's a harsh reality, but it can't be changed.
Therefore, after boarding the ship, the two "Su Yuan" have been haunted by a faint sense of guilt, looking at the fragmented world that is gradually "going away", they are full of emotion, as if they know that thousands of people are about to die, but they are watching because of their own ability.
"Maybe we should do what we can?"
Su Yuan said to himself.
Su Mengyuan thought about it after hearing this, but shook his head slightly, "If our plan is to find 'Haizhou', then ...... There should be no need for this. β
Saving those people is nothing more than changing their cemeteries from one place to another. If you don't really leave the long river of time, even if you board the Eternity, you will only survive and die.
For Su Mengyuan, she has the most insight for the rest of her life.
Knowing that if people can't really live, then it's like sending people under the duck shed, eating mud and drinking muddy water, and they are just ducks in the end!
It's better to die like a puppet without realizing it.
Looking at the girl standing beside her, who looked exactly like herself, or the deity, she had a fluctuation in her heart about coming back from the edge of death, she was ready to face death, and even secretly thought about what it would be like to "reset" in the purple curtain that had been swallowed, but she didn't expect to meet another self at the last moment, and she pulled it back.
