Hundreds of thousands of scientists from all walks of life, as well as the treasure embryos that took 24 years, spent countless precious resources, carefully cared for, and were on duty 24 hours a day to track and observe, died.

Without warning, suddenly.

First, the scholars and technicians within the Life Institute traced the source and conducted an in-depth investigation, but only came to a very simple conclusion.

Today's synthetic embryos are roughly equivalent to ordinary embryos between the third and fourth weeks of normal development, and are in a state where the heart structure has just been formed, the facial features and organs have been formed one after another, and the number of brain cells has continued to increase.

From the level of quantum thinking, the number of fetal brain cells has been stacked to the point where it is almost enough to withstand a primitive state of tiny personality consciousness.

But just as the tiny consciousness was about to be born from nothing, something uncontrollable happened. The phosphorus atoms that make up the cells of the fetal brain did not successfully coalesce into the Posner cluster.

The quantum helix array, which was supposed to be stable for the construction of individual consciousness, suddenly collapsed. Just as the solar system was suddenly stolen from the sun, the planets, moons, asteroids, comets and nebulae that revolved around the sun went their separate ways under the action of centrifugal force.

Subsequently, the embryo loses its vitality and stops developing.

This is just the result of the event, and as for why it happened, scholars are at a loss.

Obviously, all the details of the embryonic development process are in the all-round observation of the real energy level monitoring means, and everything is normal.

According to the logic of modern science, under the observation of real energy level monitoring methods, there should be no real accidents without warning in the universe, and all accidents should show more or less omen before they occur.

In order to find the cause of the accident, as many as hundreds of millions of people in the solar system were temporarily transferred to the accident investigation team by the stars, and the task of breaking through the level in the amateur entertainment life of more people has also become an algorithm game of learning first and then participating in joint deduction.

Thanks to the civilization task subdivision system established by Fanxing, in the vast imperial territory, tens of thousands of different galaxies, a total of up to 100 billion people, have jointly devoted themselves to the huge work of investigating the truth of the accident.

There are many people who don't know what kind of huge project they are involved in, only know that they have added a small detail to their personal taskbar, and then it will take a few hours or more than a few days to complete a small calculation and deduction.

These small workloads will become part of the core work in the unified integration of many masters of space-time topology and stars under the Xingfeng Research Institute.

In the new mode of scientific and technological research, the fog has finally been lifted layer by layer.

Sixty-three days after the embryo "died", an academic report was presented to Chen Feng.

The "cause of death" of the embryo was found.

The culprit is none other than Chen Feng himself.

"I am still living in the Cetus UV black hole, and my mind is constantly interacting with the universe with information that will instantly travel infinite distances and reach anywhere in the universe. It's not something that is unique to me, every human being on Earth has the same trait as me. ”

"At the moment when the tiny personality consciousness in the embryo is formed, there will be a huge exchange of information with the universe. But because my consciousness was still there, the embryo was shocked by my mind and eventually failed to take shape. ”

"No matter how far away I am from the embryo, whether I am blocked by the 'wall' of subspace, this kind of information shock cannot be avoided. To put it simply, at the same time and in the same universe, the universe cannot bear the same personality consciousness of two underlying information. ”

Chen Feng summed it up by himself.

Starry: "Yes. In fact, this phenomenon has been described in science fiction movies many years ago. ”

"yes, I know." Chen Feng nodded and shrugged.

As early as the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, science fiction writers have created many literary works about time travel.

These works reinterpret the paradox of time from different angles and in different ways, and come to a large number of conflicting conclusions.

"What happens when the 'me' of the future travels through time and meets the 'me' of the past?" It is the most imaginary and curious picture for readers and viewers of film and television works.

Since there is no real possibility of realizing this hypothetical picture, people can only fantasize and speculate from different angles.

Some people think that two "I's" or even more "I's" can coexist.

"You Resurrected Corpses" and its film adaptation "The Former Destination" concretize this concept to the extreme, constituting a closed-loop worldview full of loopholes and contradictions, but very strangely forming a logical self-consistency.

But the more common perception is that there can be no two "mes" in the same universe at the same time period.

If they exist, then these two "I" must never meet.

As for what will happen when they meet, the best science fiction writers can only stay in their depictions in fantasies that cannot find a theoretical basis, commonly known as blind fabrication.

In the past nine timelines, every time Chen Feng arrived after a thousand years, his grave grass was several feet taller, so he didn't encounter this problem.

He had imagined many times what would happen if he lived for a thousand years.

Will your future self still be there?

Now he got the answer.

The concept that two "I's" can't meet must be infinitely magnified to the point where two "I's" can't exist at the same time in the same universe.

Coldly, Chen Feng found that he had actually stepped on the edge of the cliff with one foot and walked on a dead end.

Their own "survival" led to the failure of embryo conception.

Even if you retrain it once, the results won't make a difference.

Without a body, you will not be able to find a body that can support the resurrection plan in the 31st century.

But now that he has survived to the twenty-eighth century, he can't gamble on suicide and hand everything over to the mysterious energy that supports his resurrection in the thirty-first century.

What if you don't come back to life?

What if humanity loses in the end?

In the end, even if he continued to watch it like this, he couldn't do it with his own eyes in the last breath.

According to the speed at which his emotions escape after the quantization of his thoughts in the previous timeline, combined with the difference in carrying capacity caused by the volume gap between the Cetus UV black hole and the shadow black hole, after about 300 years at most, his emotions will also return to zero, completely lose his personality, become a pure artificial intelligence, and essentially die.

"There's no going back. The embryo must be brought back to life. ”

Chen Feng sighed.

It had been a long time since he had spoken in an emotional tone since he had transformed himself into a quantum self-intelligence.

Fanxing looked at him a little anxiously, "So what are you going to do?" I must stress to you that even if you commit suicide now, it is impossible to bring the dead embryo back to life. I suggest you don't gamble like this, we really can't afford to lose this time. ”

Chen Feng nodded, "I know." ”

He looked at the technical report on the investigation of the embryonic death accident and said, "In fact, many researchers have guessed the truth that I am not dead." It's just that we don't announce it, and others can only speculate out of thin air. In that case, let's advance the resurrection plan by 300 years. ”

"Are you going to infuse your personality into the embryo?"

Chen Feng nodded, "Yes." Since the embryo died because it lacked the support of active consciousness, then I put myself in it. ”

"There are two problems. First, you have far more information than the human brain can handle. Second, the number of brain cells in the embryo is already very small. The success rate of trying to infuse your mind into the embryo is too low. ”

Chen Feng shook his head, the gaze of the virtual body condensed, and in the focus of his gaze, a complex symbol was slowly generating.

As soon as the stars looked at it, they whispered, "You have blended the stacked memory code of the Osanders with the symbolic language of the Obses?" ”

Chen Feng blinked, "Not only that, but also my native language, the square character in Chinese." ”

Fanxing understood Chen Feng's plan.

He will "format" his memories, give up all his life, and really live again.

One day in the future, when he can bear all the memories of the present, he will hand over this complicated symbol to him, and then he will have the opportunity to awaken his memory.

Fanxing asked, "What if it fails?" What if you can't read the memory information completely? Then you will forget a lot of things! ”

Chen Feng shook his head with a smile, "Even if I forget everything, it doesn't matter." Again, I'm still me. ”

Three hours later, Chen Feng's mind began to detach from the UV Ceta, and followed the huge bandwidth quantum network communication channel opened up by the stars, traveling through a long distance and heading straight to the solar system.

At the same time, the embryo cultivation room of the Institute of Earth Life Sciences began to play "Song of the World", which is a physical formatting of the embryo in order to remove the remnants of the law that had previously generated the consciousness of the tiny personality.

The Osthantian corpse planet in the Voyager Galaxy is packed into a massive flying space station. The space station began to gradually accelerate and head straight for the solar system.

A few years later, the space station loaded with the remains of the Osthusman arrived in the solar system two months after Chen Feng's thoughts.
