Chapter 111: The Curtain of Dusk
Civilizations trapped in miniature universes will never know this secret...... Their universe, like the rest of the eggs, is restarting at a high speed and in a cycle, with a total of 560 energy eggs and 560 predetermined universes.
There is a slight deviation in the time, and the restart is also carried out in a certain order, keeping a cosmic egg powering at all times.
It is the energy they provide that maintains the operation of this miracle spacecraft on the moon, the moon spacecraft has been on standby for three billion years, and the small universe inside it does not know how many reincarnations it has experienced.
Standing in front of it, Sun Tan only felt his own insignificance, and this feeling was tantamount to the feeling of powerlessness when looking at the big universe, although this small cosmic egg was small, it made human beings feel unreachable like the big universe outside.
"Will this mode of obtaining energy also run out?" Sun Tan asked.
"Of course, our universe also has a day when it comes to an end, not to mention them, their small universe is running at a faster speed, and naturally it will wither faster, the matter in the small universe is not infinite, I said, this is not a perpetual motion machine, just squeeze out the energy in it as much as possible, there will always be a limit." The lighthouse's tone was tinged with sadness, and the machine's electronic voice became even colder: "Under normal circumstances, it can maintain the operation of this spaceship for nearly 100 million years, but now it has been dormant for 3 billion years, and it is almost at its limit. ”
"I'm sorry......" Sun Tan's first thought in his heart was not to feel sorry for the imminent loss of this dependence of human beings, but to feel sorry for an artificial intelligence with high intelligence, which has evolved itself for a long time and has wisdom no less than that of any intelligent life form, but it is a pity that it still can't get rid of its own destiny...... A soul with a great mind was about to pass away, and Sun Tan had only one thought in his mind at the time, and then he began to worry about humanity.
"I've saved some energy, there's no point in keeping me alive, I'll leave you something." The lighthouse saw through his thoughts at once and said slowly.
"Isn't there any other way?"
"No, the creators have left this dimension, their technology cannot be copied, cannot be imitated, the technology of the Pan Star Alliance is not even as good as a drop in the bucket, and there is no one who can regenerate the energy that sustains my life." Lighthouse Road.
"Neither can you yourself? You've got a lot of the technology you used to ......."
"I don't have this ability, the technology of the miniature cosmic membrane is the cutting-edge technology at the top of the technology tree, even for the civilization that created me, it is not an easy task." The blue light of the lighthouse swept across the dome of an energy egg: "And, even if there was a way to sustain my energy, or transfer my consciousness to another carrier, it wouldn't make much sense. ”
"Is it because Mark they said twilight?" Sun Tan was very smart, and when the other party said half a sentence, he had already guessed the next words.
"That's right, in the end, everyone can't escape this fate, so it's better to accept it calmly."
"What exactly is twilight? I can't think of any catastrophe that could affect this universe. Sun Tan had thought of many possibilities, but with the Alliance's current technology, he couldn't think of anything they couldn't settle.
"It's simple, just look at it."
The lighthouse shines the blue light of the camera on the inside of an energy egg, and its light cannot penetrate the cosmic space membrane, and can only be extracted from it through a special collection device.
Sun Tan looked towards the inside of the energy egg, through this thin layer of translucent film, he could see the bright stars inside, thousands of stars were displayed in front of him, Sun Tan only observed the inside of it with the naked eye, he understood that what he could see now was at least a huge star like the silver core in the center of the galaxy, and a slightly smaller star, such as the sun, he couldn't see it at all.
The nebula like a dreamlike mist was wrapped in brilliant stars, and the universe was in full view, Sun Tan felt an indescribable sense of pleasure, but this feeling only lasted for a few minutes, and he soon noticed something unusual.
"What is this?"
"That's the answer you want."
Sun Tan looked for the lighthouse and looked towards the edge of the energy egg, and unconsciously gasped coldly, there was a nothingness, the pitch-black nothingness was like a black fog that was so thick that it was solid, it was surging from the edge step by step towards the center of the small universe, the planet swept by the darkness did not make a single movement, and it quietly turned into nothingness, as if it had never existed in the universe.
"......" Sun Tan stepped on the edge of a platform around him, observing the situation inside more carefully, he didn't dare to touch the surface membrane of the energy egg, but he couldn't help but get closer, and the whole person was going to stick to the energy egg.
He could now finally see what was going on inside.
The small universe inside the energy egg is dying, the small universe has expanded to the limit, and it begins to shrink after touching the edge of the cosmic membrane, and there is an energy harvesting device in the center of the small universe, in addition to pumping energy from the universe, it also has a purpose to control the contraction and expansion of the universe.
The black fog that devours the stars is nothing in itself, it is the boundary of the universe, there is nothing outside of that darkness, everything is crushed into ashes...... Elementary particles that are millions of times smaller than ashes, and ash is a majestic mountain compared to them.
The civilization in the energy egg has developed to an extremely high level, their immigration is almost all over the universe, their population is calculated in trillions, they collect every planet in the universe that can be collected for their own use, but they can't escape this strange circle after all, after all, they are just tools in captivity in a world, and there is no difference between small domestic animals such as chickens, ducks and fish.
Sun Tan saw countless convergent blue lights dancing between the stars, and the races in the energy egg mobilized all the strength to start fleeing from this disaster, but it was all in vain, they had already calculated when they were put into it, their technological level could reach this point, their genes and technology have been locked, and the only way waiting for them is destruction.
