Assuming that the conjecture of the 'ultimate anthropic principle' is correct, when consciousness is born, it will be immortal, and every living being must have a consciousness in countless parallel universes that can live forever, thus witnessing the heat death of the universe.

Each person is the absolute protagonist of his own universe, and can only constantly witness the death of others.

So theoretically, if this kind of thing is real, everyone actually has a chance to become a time-traveler, and then calculate the countless possibilities in countless parallel universes, then everyone is actually 100% a time-traveler, but the person who crosses may be themselves in a parallel universe.

So no matter who it is, crossing is a reasonable thing to do.

......

He has not communicated in any form with any living form for more than 100 billion years.

Name, gender, ethnicity, etc., have lost their meaning to him, and he is like an observer who is forever silent.

He has experienced the rise and fall of human civilization, witnessed the sun burn out and become a white dwarf, and witnessed the evaporation of black holes into the most brilliant fireworks in the universe.

Eventually, the universe enters a state of heat death.

In the darkness, his consciousness suddenly burst out with a large number of memories, and he was saving himself.

If he continues to exist in this universe, then his mind will inevitably enter eternal silence one day, because nothing will happen in this universe again, and his mind will be filled with endless blanks, and finally become meaningless beings.

So he wants to leave this universe and go to the unknown world, and the price is simply to abandon a large number of redundant memories, and use these memories as fuel to open the door to the unknown world.

Countless memories were torn apart by thoughts, forming a terrifying storm of thoughts, 80 billion years of memories contained huge amounts of data, which were finally detonated, and his thoughts were distorted in the explosion, and finally completely disappeared into this universe.

But the storm of memories he unleashed upset the balance of the universe, and this universe started a new cycle again.

......

From the known maps, the world of waves is like an endless picture scroll at either end, most of the space in the scroll is filled by seawater, and only countless scattered islands are located in the ocean.

The Seven Seas are located in the middle of known maps, and are divided into seven oceans by seven giant islands, hence the name Seven Seas.

On the deck of the Black Wood Sailing Ship knelt a group of ragged but ugly men on the deck of the Black Wood Sailing Ship, surrounded by dozens of soldiers with knives guarding these people, not daring to be careless.

This Blackwood sailing ship is the infamous Black Knife that has been rampaging the Seven Seas for 20 years, and its owner is none other than Hawkins, the leader of the Black Knife Pirate Regiment, who is known as the "son of pirates".

At present, the remaining ones on the Black Knife are ordinary pirates, and the captain, first mate, second officer, and boatswain are all escorted to the Willalia Glory to be imprisoned.

The area of Willalia Island is second only to Yazhong Island and Hard Biscuit Island, and it is the third largest island in the Seven Seas, because it is sandwiched between Yazhong Island and Hard Biscuit Island, so it has become a transit point between the two islands.

However, the recent raids and plundering of three coastal villages and towns on the island of Willalia by the Black Knife Pirate Regiment have completely angered Steve Jobs, the owner of the island.

Jobs sent the latest battleship, the Glory of Victoria, to chase down the Black Knife, and the two sides were entangled in the Purasian Sea for more than half a month, and finally the Black Knife was defeated because of the exhaustion of food and water, and all the crew were captured by the Willian sailors.

At the bottom of the Willalia Glory, a pair of eyes opened from the darkness.

"Prison? ”

"It's such a weak body, if the thinking is overclocked for too long, it is estimated that it will burn the brain, and it seems that if you want to leave, you have to find a way. ”

"Hawkins, captain and captain of the Black Knife Pirates, twenty-five years old, son following his father's business, seven seas, misty seas, endless black seas, strange worldview, interesting. ”

In the prison cell, Hawkins is no longer the original Hawkins, and the moment 'his' consciousness descends across dimensions, this wicked pirate is instantly wiped out of consciousness, and his body is easily taken over by someone.

Of course, because 'he' couldn't remember his name, he simply borrowed it to the end and temporarily referred to him as Hawkins.

Hawkins stood up, and the two sailors guarding the cell immediately turned around and stared at him with wary expressions.

"Relax, just sit too long and your legs are numb. ”

Hawkins smiled, then sat down again, and said to one of the pock-faced sailors, "Sailors, it's a long way back, why don't we talk?"

"We have nothing to talk about, you killed my father!" the sailor said in a resolute tone as he glared at Hawkins with hatred.

Hawkins shrugged and said helplessly: "That's really sad news, your father is also a sailor, how much pension does he receive for his death in battle?"

According to the memory of the original owner, this world is all about the son following the father's business, and the father is what occupation the father is, and the son is generally the same profession, and this is the case for generations.

"It's none of your business. The sailor said coldly.

Hawkins nodded and smiled, "He deserves to be like this, of course it has nothing to do with me." ”

"You're really a scumbag, a piece of garbage, and I can't wait to see the day you're hanged. The sailor said angrily.

Hawkins stretched out his hand and shook his index finger, denying: "Although Hawkins has done a lot of bad things, it is actually unfair to him if you accuse him one-sidedly."

In fact, after the death of his father, Huo Heidao, Hawkins considered giving up and continuing to be a pirate.

He went to investigate what he could do, such as guards, sailors, blacksmiths, and other professions, and he found that the money he could earn in a lifetime was not as good as what he could earn from a month's plunder, and his monthly looting income was not as good as what the island owners and nobles could earn in a week, so he finally chose to continue to be a pirate.

He can't be blamed for this, but the nobles who control the resources are the ones who let Hawkins continue to play the role of pirate. ”

"You're quibbling!" said the other sailor.

Hawkins looked at him and analyzed with a smile: "Jealous child, if I heard it right, your name is Tom, right? Your monthly salary should be 20 silver coins, the inflation in this world is not big, but this salary is probably only enough for your daily expenses, if you want to have savings, you can only continue to go to sea to fight, and every time you go to war, there is a huge risk, once your relatives die in battle, the pension is only 1 gold coin."

1 gold is equal to 100 silver, and 100 silver is nothing more than five months' salary for you, do you think this transaction is reasonable?"

"There is no 1 gold coin left, only 90 silver coins. The dead father's pock-faced sailor said in a deep voice.

Hawkins sighed: "90 silver coins for a life, it's really cheap, and ...... Do you think I killed a lot of people? In fact, the nobles are the real killers who don't see blood, for example, the goldenrod caviar they like to eat, only near Blackwood Island can catch goldfish, and Blackwood Island is very close to the Black Sea, dozens of fishermen die every year in order to catch goldfish, and they don't have pensions, you can think about how many people have died for the sake of the nobles' appetite in the sea, do you still think I kill more people in comparison?"

Both sailors fell silent, the inhabitants of the island of Willalia had lived under the rule of the nobility for generations, and they did not feel any unreasonableness under the great inertia of their thinking.

But now listening to Hawkins' analysis, they also feel a huge injustice.

"Why don't we make a deal, I'll give each of you 10 gold coins, you help me get out of here, this is the price equivalent to your ten lives, don't be in a hurry to refuse, think about it before answering." Hawkins looked at the two of them and smiled.

The pock-faced sailor looked at his companion next to him, and the two made eye contact.

If it weren't for Hawkins's words before, they would definitely refuse with righteous words, but after listening to Hawkins's words, they are now tempted.

The seamen of the island of Willalia, who do not go to sea to fight, only have a salary of 20 silver coins.

If there is a battle at sea in the current month, you can get an additional 10 silver coins each time, and the families of the war dead can get a pension of 1 gold coin.

Although their poor computing power could not calculate how many years it would take to work for 10 gold coins, they also knew that it was a lot of money, a huge amount of money enough to buy a life.

The question is, is Hawkins credible?
