The boring voyage is an epic of human years.

In the empty vacuum ocean, except for the occasional passing of the wandering small universe, there is eternal silence.

There is no substance in the vacuum ocean, and there is no color in nature, only the black and panicked loneliness.

On the fleet, the voyagers are either immersed in the research and development of science and technology, or live in ordinary bits and pieces, or dream in the virtual world.

Eternal life, with eternal solitude.

Huang Mingzhe has just woken up from the virtual world, feeling a little lost and dazed, and he has spent an ordinary and colorful hundred years in the virtual world.

During those hundred years, he sealed his memories and abilities and became a member of an ordinary primary civilization.

From the mother's womb to the ripe melon, swaddling and babbling, the innocent childhood, to the teenager who burst into the second middle school, the high-spirited youth, the middle-aged who was beaten by the society, and the old man who knew the destiny of heaven.

In that life, he relived the ordinary, felt that the world was not worthwhile, and tried to grasp a trace of humanity and died in regret.

After regaining his memory and strength, Huang Mingzhe regained his composure.

At this moment, he finally understood something.

Before, Huang Mingzhe didn't understand the reincarnation temple and the low-level creatures of the Chiba universe, and he was also a little unclear about the silence of Azathoth.

And now he finally understood.

Too powerful technology not only brings eternal life to human beings, but also brings imperceptible crises to human beings.

This crisis is called "assimilation of rules".

The moment when human beings use rule information to cast genetic sequences, it represents a crisis of "rule assimilation", which silently hangs over human civilization.

The so-called assimilation of rules is because of the large application of rule information, which leads to the loss of humanity of intelligent beings and the emergence of absolute rationalization.

In other words, while human beings use the rules, the rules also make human beings part of the rules of the universe.

Give a chestnut.

At this time, the situation of human civilization is similar to that in the myth of the torrent, Hongjun Daozu's body is in line with the Tao, and he loses his sensibility as a human being, and becomes a cold absolute rationality.

Human beings are lucky, because the speed of human civilization is too fast, which leads to the assimilation of the rules of the universe, and has not yet allowed human reason to destroy sensibility.

And this situation also explains some of the contradictions in the Chiba Universe, the Temple of Reincarnation, and Azathoth.

Because the emergence of rule assimilation will cause intelligent beings to unconsciously become puppets of the rules of the universe, the part that loses humanity.

And the Chiba universe is to maintain its own sensibility by captive other intelligent beings and harvesting the emotions, memories, and experiences of these intelligent beings.

The operation of the Reincarnation Temple and the Chiba Universe is the same, and it is also to use those strange reincarnators to maintain sensibility and avoid absolute rationalization.

As for Azathos, they are "losers", and judging by their various performances, they should have been assimilated by the rules and lost most of their sensibility.

As time goes on, those Azathoths, if they don't find a way to return to thanks, will become puppets of the rules of the universe, living like the walking dead.

"Teacher, are you alright?"

Li Qun and Li Rongwu asked with concern.

Huang Mingzhe waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm just thinking about some problems." ”

Huang Mingzhe then compiled his findings into a paper called "Research Report on the Assimilation of the Rules of the Universe", which was published in the academic journal "New Era".

……

The Wei Feng split on another expeditionary fleet was boringly refreshing the journal of papers.

Suddenly, a new paper popped up in the journal "New Era", and the signature was Huang Mingzhe?5817, and he suddenly came to his senses.

After reading the "Research Report on the Assimilation of the Rules of the Universe", Wei Feng couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time, and other human scientists were also worried.

After all, the conclusions of this paper, or the predicted future, are too dangerous.

Regardless of whether Huang Mingzhe was alarmist or not, the Science and Technology Commission immediately organized a large number of relevant scientists to conduct in-depth research on the possibility of cosmic assimilation.

However, the results of supercomputing analysis, or the thinking of other scientists, converge with Huang's conclusions.

This paper shatters the peace of the new human civilization, because the consequences of the assimilation of rules are not the results that the new humans want to see.

After investigating the Chiba Universe, the Temple of Reincarnation, and Azathoth, a series of effects of the assimilation of the rules of the universe were explored by new human scientists.

Huang Mingzhe called the assimilation of rules "physicochemical disease", which can be divided into four stages, namely: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and convergence.

The early stage is the current manifestation of the new human, and the middle stage is the Chiba Universe and the Temple of Reincarnation, and the late stage is like Azathoth.

As for convergence, after Huang Mingzhe reviewed a lot of information, he found that in the ancient ruins of the Great Wilderness Universe Island, the Yuanguang civilization may be "convergence".

However, Huang Mingzhe has some doubts, suspecting that the Yuanguang civilization was wiped out by the "weapon of assimilation of rules", which is artificially "assimilated by rules".

With the deepening of physical and chemical diseases, intelligent beings will not only become more and more rational, but also lead to an inverse decline in creativity.

This characteristic of physical and chemical diseases explains that many god-level civilizations have shown a slower and slower trend after being promoted to the god-level, except for the initial high-speed development.

This can be analyzed from the history of the development of the Chiba Universe, the Temple of Reincarnation, and Azatoth.

Before, the new human beings thought that these god-level civilizations had reached a bottleneck period of development, and thus there was invariably stagnant.

But now it seems that there is definitely a physical and chemical influence behind it.

Especially the Azathoth civilization, the entire civilization is almost silent, and the vast majority of the Azathos are silent in various monolithic universes, in front of otaku who have been like a day for hundreds of millions of years.

Aside from sleeping, eating instinctively, or releasing soul viruses out of control, the ghost agents found that these Azathothians had no research or experimentation at all.

Obviously, their physical and chemical diseases are already in the terminal stage.

Due to the very fast promotion speed, the new human beings discovered physical and chemical diseases at the early stage, and after relevant research, the Science and Technology Commission found that they could continue to "reincarnate and reincarnate" through the virtual world, so as to suppress the deterioration of physical and chemical diseases.

As for the eradication of physical and chemical diseases, it is impossible, as long as the new human beings use and study the rules of the universe, then the rules of the universe will quietly assimilate human beings.

If you want to get, you always have to give.

on the Eternal Truth.

Huang Mingzhe stood in the lookout, looking at the endless darkness in front of him, and sighed involuntarily.

"Truth! Thou art an unspeakable terror. ”

Li Qun on the side also looked helpless, physical and chemical diseases are a double-edged sword for scientists who chase the truth.

Once you fall into the rules of the universe, you will become a puppet of the rules of the universe, and finally return to the universe completely.

Huang Mingzhe reinvigorated: "In the future, according to the plan of the Science and Technology Commission, after a period of scientific research, you must enter the virtual world reincarnation." ”

"Understood." Li Rongwu and Li Qun nodded.

None of them wanted to lose their humanity, which is the nature of intelligent beings.

To lose humanity is to lose life.
