Chapter 714: The Last Mission
From the mouth of the system administrator, Qiao Lu learned a lot about the past of the previous generation of human civilization.
Including their war with the Devouring Empire, being drawn into the competition between the Silicon-based Empire and the Carbon-based Federation, and even the emergence of a God civilization that claims to have cultivated human civilization.
"Later we learned that God's civilization received the information left by our previous generation of human civilization, and based on this detailed information, human civilization was restored. This ensures that new human civilizations will be born in the rebooted universe, as long as this information can be picked up by other civilizations in the new universe. β
Qiao Lu was still thinking about whether it was a coincidence or an inevitability similar to the closure of the world line every time that human civilization could be reborn with the restart of the universe, but he didn't expect that even this point had been taken into account.
"So far, how many generations of human civilization have left records?" Qiao Lu asked.
"Who knows? Although human civilization continues to continue, too much information is lost in the cosmic cycle. We can only guarantee that each generation will take a small step forward until we can finally break this cosmic cycle. β
The Administrator continued, "By the time our generation has been able to see hope, we are only one step away from challenging the Zeroers. But one step away is just a stone's throw away, and we can't afford to take that risk, and in the end we have decided to leave everything to you, hoping that you can go one step further and face the Zero with the certainty of victory. β
"It's not something I'll ever be able to see in my lifetime." Qiao Lu couldn't help but sigh, "Human civilization also needs to develop over a span of 10,000 years. β
"Of course, you can entrust your mission to future generations, just as you originally thought. But personally, I hope that you can persevere until the era of the final battle, from the navigator of the wandering earth to the watchman of human civilization. β
"How is this going to be done?"
"Hibernation technology, by the time of our generation, hibernation technology has been able to last for hundreds of millions of years, and this may be far from the end."
There was a hint of sadness in the administrator's tone, making Qiao Lu realize that there might be more to it than that.
"And then?"
"Defeating the Zeroers is not the last step, and in order to ensure that there will be no more civilizations in the new universe that wantonly use the weapons of the laws of the universe, we cannot send the memories of the human civilization after defeating the Zeroers to the new universe. The dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon, and the human civilization that has mastered the technology of restarting the universe will also become the zeroer in the new universe. It's just another kind of reincarnation, can you understand that? β
Qiao Lu immediately reacted, the crux of the problem is not who is the zeroer, but the civilization that has mastered the universe restart technology in advance will become the new zeroer!
If you know that everything can be done all over again, then anyone can break the bottom line. This is the root cause of the Zeroer's laissez-faire use of the laws of the universe, and it is the same for human civilization.
"So after all this is over, we can only send the biological information of human beings to the new universe to ensure that the nascent human civilization will not master the universe reboot technology as soon as it comes up, so as to keep repeating the mistakes made by the zeroers."
"As for these technologies, we can't just make them disappear, because no one knows if they will be needed again. Therefore, we need a watchman to bury all this deeply, and remain silent for a long time, until this universe is once again difficult to return, and then we can stand up and teach the universe reboot technology to the civilization of the new universe. β
Such a mission is too heavy, a hundred times more difficult than the wall-facing person and the sword-wielder.
Not only do the watchmen have to survive the apocalypse alone, but they also have to spend tens of billions of years on a mission as a last resort, during which they can no longer communicate with anyone so as not to expose the dangerous technology they have at their disposal.
What awaits him will be endless loneliness, and if he does come forward one day, it will mean that the universe is once again going to destruction, and no matter what, it will not end well.
"Is it really possible?" Qiao Lu asked incredulously.
"If you're talking about the technical level, it can be done with the Zeroer's small universe. The flow of time in the small universe is very different from that of the large universe, and it is controllable to a certain extent, and a year in it can be tens of billions of years in the large universe. In the small universe, it is like living outside of time, but we must always pay attention to the situation of the large universe, because if you are not careful, you may miss hundreds of millions of years. β
There's no way to predict what it's like to live to this extent. In the midst of all the vicissitudes of life, and not letting down our vigilance at any time, such a mission is undoubtedly extremely cruel.
The Administrator proposed, "Of course, you can pick someone else and entrust him with this mission." But someone has to do it to end this cosmic cycle. β
"No need, I'll take responsibility."
It is definitely not an easy task to become a watchman who is hidden behind the scenes like this, but it is clear that there is no other candidate for the system administrator, so the decision will be left to Qiao Lu.
Qiao Lu doesn't want to shift all the responsibility to future generations, if someone has to bear it, it is himself.
After getting Qiao Lu's clear answer, the system administrator seemed to be finally relieved, and it was not a heavy burden to hand over this mission to the right person?
The light on his body suddenly dimmed, as if the belief that had always supported him to come here had finally burned out.
From the beginning of the restart of the universe to the birth of the Wandering Earth, he must have waited for tens of billions of years before finally unloading the burden on his body today.
"And so our mission is over. From now on, it's your storyΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
The Administrator's body gradually turned into countless particles of light floating in this white space, and at the same time, everything around him began to crumble like a dream.
Qiao Lu came back to his senses, he had already returned to the laboratory of the Central Academy of Sciences, and Ding Yi was standing in front of him, as if a short moment had passed.
"What's wrong?"
Ding Yi seemed to have noticed Qiao Lu's distraction at this time, and he didn't know how much had happened to Nan Ke's dream he had just experienced.
Before Qiao Lu could open his mouth to explain, Dr. Hansen suddenly hurried in and shouted to the two:
"Dr. Ding Yi! And Director Jolu, it's great that you happen to be here! Please come with me right away! β
"What's going on?" Ding Yi asked curiously.
Dr. Hansen, who was also usually a calm intellectual, almost never made a fuss, and it was certainly not a trivial matter for her to suddenly break in so excitedly.
Sure enough, as soon as she opened her mouth, she said a shocking news:
"The flower of the soul is about to bloom, and the earth is about to awaken!"
