The two Pioneers became one, leaving the familiar and unfamiliar solar system and heading far into the depths of the universe.

Su Yichen and the others finally accepted Ike's suggestion and did not continue to stay in the solar system. 65 million years is a long time, such a long period of time is something that these people can't achieve at all, not to mention that Ike is right, the future has already happened, and if you make changes, no one knows what big changes will happen. Perhaps their stay will lead to the rapid evolution of the earth's civilization and humanity, thus giving rise to civilization on the earth in advance. But it is more likely to go to the bad side, which no one can predict, for the sake of the future of mankind, Su Yichen and they still gave up this plan.

In addition to this reason, Ike's proposal is also an important point that impresses them, that is, the Randan civilization's high-dimensional technology. There are many mysteries in the universe, and perhaps with Ike's help, they will be able to find their way home. What's more, in today's universe, except for the three of them plus Su Wei, who is an intelligent life, Ike is also the only person who is familiar with and can help them, Su Yichen and they have no more choice, so they can only do this.

The merger of the two Pioneer ships into one was done with the assistance of Ike's Intelligent Brain, although his spaceship Intelligent Brain is not an intelligent life, but in terms of its function, it is more powerful than Su Wei of intelligent life.

Boarding the Pioneer spacecraft and coming to the familiar place in his dream, Su Yichen felt dazed. Everything here was so familiar to him, but it was as foreign as the current solar system. Their Pioneer spaceship is now part of the overall ship, but for the sake of safety, they have moved to the main ship, which is Ike's Pioneer spacecraft.

At the same time as the transfer, Su Wei also transferred, and the overall spaceship did not need two powerful brains. Ike's brain system can do all of this. After soliciting the advice of Su Yichen and Su Wei himself, Ike used the materials on the spaceship to build a body for Su Wei, and then transferred him to this body.

The new body was made completely according to Su Wei's wishes, that is, the image of the little boy who was very similar to Su Zhe when he was a child. With this new body, Su Wei seemed very happy, and ran tirelessly around the bridge. There was a chuckle from time to time.

Looking at Su Wei, who was almost exactly the same as Su Zhe when he was a child, Luo Yan's eyes couldn't help but reveal maternal love, and Su Yichen's heart was also emotional, but he was a little sad in addition to emotion.

"This tea is good, very unique drink." Ike was drinking tea, of course these teas were taken from Su Yichen's spaceship, and I don't know why, Ike had liked it since he drank it once. Now, he is leisurely sipping tea like an ordinary earthling. Smelling the faint fragrance of tea, there was a hint of intoxication in his expression.

"If you like it, there is a small tea garden in the ecological balance circle of the spaceship, and the amount of tea produced is still enough." Su Yichen doesn't have any special requirements for drinks, he can drink tea, coffee can also be drunk, tea is just a drink to adjust his life, since Ike likes it. It's very simple to produce so much, anyway, the process of how to make tea has been handed over to the intelligent brain system of the Pioneer spacecraft through Su Wei.

"Thank you!" Ike smiled and lifted his glass. made a gesture of thanks, then he looked at Su Yichen and asked with a smile, "Do you have something you want to ask?" Say whatever you want. ”

"Yes, I have a lot of questions, but I don't know where to start for a while." Su Yichen did not shy away from his thoughts and replied frankly.

"It doesn't matter, the last thing we need on our journey is time." Ike smiled and gestured to the space outside. They had just completed their jump flight and were heading for their intended course.

"Then you're welcome." Su Yichen nodded, and first asked a question, his question was related to Su Wei, Su Wei was originally just an ordinary brain system. But inexplicably evolved into intelligent life, which is a very strange situation, and until now he and Luo Yan have not figured out why. As a technologically advanced Rand civilization, the Rand civilization has long had a lot of intelligent life, and maybe Ike can solve this mystery for him.

"It's a simple question." Ike smiled lightly: "You have experienced a stay in the high-dimensional space, and you have been affected by the image of the time dimension for such a long time, in this process, the coincidental evolution of the brain system is probable, of course, this probability is very small, but congratulations, you have encountered this chance." “

The answer seems simple, and somewhat unexpected. Su Yichen couldn't help frowning, and he asked, "What kind of impact is it?" Do all brain systems have this chance? ”

"I can't answer the first question." Ike said regretfully: "I am an explorer, not a scientist, this aspect is not my specialty, and the generation of intelligent life has been an extremely complex phenomenon until now, although the Rand civilization has not a few intelligent life, but almost all intelligent life has its own differences." I can only tell you that the influence of high-dimensional space is only an opportunity for the emergence of intelligent life, but it is not an absolute factor. ”

Speaking of this, Acke paused and continued: "As for the second question, it can be answered, not all intelligent brain systems have the possibility of evolution, only the kind of intelligent brain system that is extremely close to intelligent life from design to structure can have the possibility of evolution. Just like the intelligent brain system of my spaceship, although it is very capable, in essence, it cannot evolve into intelligent life no matter what factors are applied, and this is the difference. ”

"Then why don't you use an evolutionary brain system as the brain center?"

Hearing this, Ike immediately burst out laughing, and he told Su Yichen that the reason he did this was due to two aspects, the first aspect was that his mission was to explore the universe and complete the unprecedented journey of the Rand civilization and even the civilization of the galaxy. The ability and stability of the brain system are of paramount importance to ensure the success of such a trip, because if there are some factors that cause changes in his brain system in the middle of the journey, it will be a disastrous result for his mission.

Just like Su Wei's evolutionary process, once this happens to Ike's brain system, it will mean that his spaceship will be completely paralyzed for a certain period of time. It's a lethal factor, and Ike can do little if he encounters danger in the process.

Secondly. The generation of intelligent life is not 100% successful, and there are often many cases where evolutionary failure occurs in the process of evolution of intelligent brain systems. If this fails, the only thing Ike can do is to destroy the entire intelligent system immediately, lest it cause the frantic half-intelligent beings to self-destruct, thus affecting the entire ship.

These two reasons made Ike choose this intelligent brain system that can never evolve into intelligent life as the intelligent brain center of the Pioneer spacecraft, not to mention that this intelligent brain system is not comparable to intelligent life in some aspects. Considering various factors such as stability and practicality, it is the safest to choose. In addition, its ability is also good, more powerful than the intelligent life that has been completed by evolution, because intelligent life as a member of life, he will have a growth process after the evolution is completed, and in the long run, the growth of intelligent life will reach a height that the intelligent brain system can never reach, but in the short term, an intelligent life that has not yet grown is far less than his intelligent brain system ability.

Got it all figured out. also understood Ike's choice, Su Yichen suddenly realized, and even Luo Yan, who was attracted by their conversation, was thoughtful.

Ike's purpose was the Andromeda Galaxy, which Su Yichen had known for a long time. In their time, the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy had an artificial wormhole, which was what Galen told them back then, and it was also the passage they had from the Andromeda Galaxy back to the Milky Way. However, in this era, this artificial wormhole has not yet appeared. Ike doesn't plan to sail through any natural wormhole, in his words. He is a cosmic explorer, and the purpose of his voyage is to carry out an interstellar voyage that has never been seen in the Rand civilization, and it is very dangerous to use that kind of natural wormhole with uncertain coordinates for such a voyage, this reason Su Yichen agreed, but he thought of the experience of them crossing to the Andromeda Galaxy through the natural wormhole back then, so as to spend more than 300 years.

"Do you think it's okay for us to use this method to span time?" Su Yichen asked Ike what he was thinking.

"I don't recommend that you do that. There are too many uncertainties in wormholes, and they may succeed, but they are more likely to fail. I have to say, your luck is indeed very good, you must know a lot of explorers in the universe. There have been people who have had similar ideas to you, but they have all failed. ”

Ike's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Su Yichen's head, this possibility was directly blocked, Su Yichen was a little disappointed, but he also believed Ike's judgment, after all, Ike had no reason to lie to him, so there was only one last way for them to return to the original time coordinates, that is, to enter the high-dimensional space and go back again through the changes in the time dimension.

But how do you enter the high-dimensional space? When this question was asked to Ike, Ike just smiled, and he told Su Yichen that it was possible to simply enter the high-dimensional space with his Vanguard spacecraft ability, but it was extremely difficult to accurately locate through the time dimension, so as to return to the original time coordinates. Where exactly are the time coordinates? It can't be seen or touched, and it's impossible with luck. Of course, Ike didn't say anything to death, he told Su Yichen that it would take time, it would take a long time to calculate, as long as he had a certain certainty, then Ike would be able to help them return to their own time coordinates.

On this day, Su Yichen and Ike talked a lot, and their conversations were a little disappointing to him, but many of them opened his eyes. The Rand civilization is worthy of being the Rand civilization, and Ike is also worthy of being the greatest cosmic explorer of the Rand civilization, and Su Yichen and Luo Yan have learned a lot from him.

The Pioneer spacecraft has been on a long journey, and we will spend a lot of time together. After chatting for several hours, Su Yichen was a little tired, he got up to say goodbye, Luo Yan was playing with Su Wei, of course, her play is also to guide the growth of Su Wei's intelligent life, in a sense, this is also part of Luo Yan's work.

As for Raymond. Anthony, who hadn't spoken much since he came to the main ship, looked like he was normal, but there was a great shock in his heart. Compared with Su Yichen, Raymond, who has been captured twice and has been in the Red Dark Nebula for so many years. Anthony was calmer, but it was the first time he had heard of the Rand civilization and Ike's existence, and the shock of that had not passed until now.

The Pioneer spacecraft is larger and more well-equipped than Su Yichen's Pioneer spacecraft. Leaving the bridge, Su Yichen followed the familiar corridor to the outside area, and beyond that was the residential area, which had perfect living facilities, and from today they would live here with Ike.

Everything here is very familiar to Su Yichen, he has spent almost all the thirty years in his dream inside this spaceship, and it can be said that he is the most familiar person here except for Ike.

Through the corridor, he came to the lower level of the bridge, and then continued to walk forward, Su Yichen reached the living area. When he stopped at the door of a room, the hatch of the room opened automatically, and Su Yichen stepped in.

The facilities inside are all available, and the structure is also familiar to him, and when he enters, the hatch quickly and automatically closes silently, Su Yichen glanced back, and then sat down on the edge of a bed, he lowered his head and silently didn't know what he was thinking, so he sat for a long time.

I don't know how long it has been, Su Yichen sighed, the current situation has been placed in front of them, they don't have much choice, maybe only Ike can help them. But the problem is, Su Yichen has been thinking about one thing in his heart, that is, is Ike worth believing?

Maybe this question is strange, as Su Yichen, who has spent thirty years with Ike in his dreams, he should have a natural affinity for Ike. What's more, the birth of the earth civilization, including the emergence of human beings on the earth, and even the existence of Ike's genes in the bodies of these people, it seems natural to trust Ike, but I don't know why, Su Yichen found that he couldn't have absolute trust in Ike.

This thought made Su Yichen feel strange himself, he subconsciously touched his chest, and the small hourglass was hidden in his chest. Ike still doesn't know about this thing, and Su Yichen has also concealed this item in his previous account, including his experience in the Andromeda Galaxy and Galen.

Perhaps, Su Yichen subconsciously felt that they were crossing the long river of time under the changes in the time dimension, and this hourglass was an important factor, if this was the case, then they would have to rely on this thing if they wanted to go back, once it was handed over to Ike, what if something unexpected happened? If that's the case, they'll never go back. (To be continued.) )
