Putting on an independent spacesuit, Jianzhou's body was obviously bloated, and he wanted to adjust his center of gravity, but thinking that he was going to carry out extravehicular operations next, Jianzhou dispelled his thoughts and walked into the airlock.

"I want to go back," Liu Yao stood at the door of the airlock, opened the transparent layer of the adaptive helmet, and rubbed his cheeks with his hands, "I'm going to be weightless for 50 hours straight, and I'm not a full-time space soldier, I feel my brain dissolve." ”

"If you're not feeling well, you really should get some rest," Smart said as he returned from the cabin, "and I've confirmed that there are no anomalies on the route and that I can move normally." Friends who need to go back to the room can leave the airlock cabin first. ”

Liu Yao rolled and floated out of the airlock cabin, disappearing at the end of the corridor without looking back.

"What do you mean by lighting up the universe?" Jianzhou helped Todd jam the magnetoflux cannon on the back of the spacesuit, "And the "all universes" you mentioned, are we talking about the same dimensional universe here?" ”

"It's all on the road, Mr. Chen Jianzhou." Smart turned into a human form and closed the inner door of the airlock, "I have a lot to say to you. ”

"I'd love to talk to you if I could," Todd said, taking off the adaptive helmet and putting it back on, "my friend has something to offer. ”

"Of course welcome," Smart put his hand on the airlock switch, "we can discuss anything you want to know, after all, we don't have to breathe." ”

Todd and Chen Jianzhou looked at each other and smiled, Smart pressed the switch, Jianzhou checked the fixing of the recovery rope, and when everything was in order, he motioned Smart to open the hatch.

As the hatch slowly rises, the cosmic scene gradually unfolds in the vision of Jianzhou. It's really zen to have a heart-to-heart in this environment, Jianzhou thought to himself, and followed Todd out of the cabin.

Leaving the fortress, they were greeted by two leading routes that stretched out, connecting in a line of luminous bodies leading to the end of the universe. Smart floated above and below the luminous body, leisurely guiding Jianzhou and Todd on their way.

"You said you had a question you wanted to ask him, what was it?" Jianzhou adjusted the flight program of the spacesuit to automatic flight, and the independent flight suit began to fly along the approach route with him.

"Yes..... Other mechanical citizens asked me for help, but it's actually about you. Todd deliberately hid Alisa, after all, he didn't know Jianzhou's opinion on his relationship with Alisa, and Alisa only gave herself a document, and she hadn't opened it yet.

"That's interesting, why don't you just ask me?" Todd's flickering answer only piqued Jianzhou's curiosity, "I don't think it's a question that will irritate me." ”

"Probably not," Todd tried his best to divert the subject, "look ahead, it's almost there." ”

Jianzhou turned his head to look, and the end of the lead route was connected to an observatory, on which countless mechanical arms were working, Jianzhou and Todd landed, and found that the workbench of 4419 was not only not in the fortress itself, but also had no civilization evolution totem on the ground, only a round of sun-like images of star structure that were constantly changing.

"This is the stellar seta on which the tiw civilization depends," Todd explained, "and there are 90 cosmic years left until the end of the main sequence phase." ”

The end of the main sequence phase means the first death of the star. The TIW civilization's dependence on light is well known. Jianzhou asked Smart in disbelief, "How will your civilization continue after your star transforms into a white dwarf?" ”

Smart looked at Todd and sighed, "Our star seta will collapse into a neutron star at the end of its 1 billion year lifespan. Seta will be extinguished and darkness will fall. ”

"Then the SETA neutron star will continue to collapse into a black hole, which will become a Clay-Newman black hole, engulfing the planet TIW." Todd sat on the observation deck, feebly explaining.

"I hope this will make you have some memories," Smart covered the ground with his body, seeping into every crevice, like a blazing star, "and I hope you are ready for the rest of the conversation." ”

......

"If you've ever taken anything from me, I'd like to be able to get it back." Chen Sheng's attitude in the video communication was as resolute as before, but Liu Yao in front of the data board was uneasy.

Liu Yao placed the data board outside the gravity cabin so that the data board could be suspended in front of him, and he fell backwards, leaning against the bulkhead, and staring at Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng is an unfathomable person, she can come to find herself and say such things, she must have held an incredible amount of information in her hands.

"If you can only choose to be silent, I will use my own method," Chen Sheng provided the second-layer interface of her databoard, and she was using the red channel to check all the information related to herself, "I don't want the final result to embarrass you and me too much." ”

Sure enough, Liu Yao looked at the data processing interface with a refresh speed so fast that only the afterimage remained, and sighed that his prediction was accurate. But he really didn't quite understand what Chen Sheng was referring to when he took it, so he decided to investigate in reverse.

Liu Yao took the data board into the data warehouse and asked Chen Sheng with a text message: "Is the thing you said you took away related to Chen Jianzhou?" ”

"It's related, but it's not related, it should be something related to me and him, and it's probably a reconstruction of the memory level."

Looking at the field that the other party replied to, Liu Yao frowned. Jianzhou's memory reconstruction was signed by several people together, and in the previous exchange, he was sure that both Smart, Jer, and Chen Sheng were absolutely aware of the matter. But if it's not about building a boat, what else could it be?

"Stay in touch and fully assist." Looking at the last sentence left by Liu Yao before exiting the communication platform, Chen Sheng closed the data board. She knew that the incident she was involved in had exceeded the limits of conventional military intelligence systems, and that this matter could no longer be simply dealt with in the open.

She has canceled all information retrieval missions, and she now needs to go to Fort 4419, away from Earth government surveillance. She also needs a figure who can be completely hidden from public view and online surveillance to assist her, and she needs a person who is not suspected or recorded by the information processor.

She needs someone to die with.

Juda。

But she didn't need a madman.

Juda。

She was even more reluctant to face a mad dead man.

Juda。

Chen Sheng put away the data board, picked up his legs in front of the workbench, and gently buried his head in it, letting the liquid in his eye sockets gush out. She gave her life to save a world on the verge of collapse, and now her world is falling apart.

......

After a lapse around Smart's flat star, the boat fell back to Todd and said to Smart, "Is this what lights up the universe?" ”

Not long after the words fell, the two-dimensional star in front of him boiled and churned. For a time, countless luminous objects of different sizes appeared three-dimensionally above the observatory.

"Mr. Chen Jianzhou, do you remember the wind on the earth?"

Jianzhou listened to Smart's question, and thought that the other party was about to start discussing philosophical issues: "Wind, that is, the horizontal flow of gas on the earth's surface, can be completely controlled by our climate regulation system. ”

"And do you remember the fire?"

Jianzhou still replied calmly: "The active gaseous molecules in the plasma state are divided into high-temperature fire and low-temperature fire. "The realization of superconductivity at room temperature has created the possibility of the existence of low-temperature fire.

"Do you think they are low-dimensional beings of high-dimensional events?"

"Obviously not," Jianzhou probably guessed what Smart wanted to say to himself, but he didn't understand why he chose to talk about it now, "Unlike pure energy bodies, we can fully observe the basic molecular composition of these energy carriers you mentioned in the three-dimensional universe. ”

The luminaries began to scatter in all directions, turning into countless stars in the vast universe, shining brightly and lighting up Jianzhou's vision.

"Then when you already know that the life of the Tiw civilization is a low-dimensional energy body, you should also know how we take on our own form."

"Pure energy bodies cannot be observed by three-dimensional organisms, and TIW accelerates visible particles to a relatively stable state, so that particles and photoelectrons form a body structure together, thus presenting a luminous body." Jianzhou admired the shining scenery of the universe, "I learned from the textbook." ”

"Not bad at all," Smart's voice came again, and a bright spot in the universe suddenly went out, "and what happens if the Tiw people lose their light?" ”

The entire Celestial Domain gradually dimmed, and the light converged in front of Jianzhou, and Smart, who had regained his human form, stood with his back to Jianzhou.

"Yes...... Disappear? Jianzhou glanced at Todd beside him, who was lying on the observation platform and did not make a sound, "But as long as you find a new star, you can still restart civilization normally, right?" ”

"No," Smart turned, "TIW's Supreme Resolution is that TIW should return to the high-dimensional universe and survive through high-dimensional energy lifeforms, rather than relying on finite stars in the three-dimensional universe. ”

Jianzhou took down the magnetoflux cannon from Todd's back and aimed at Smart: "So the tiw civilization opened a high-dimensional universe channel, but due to unknown reasons, the three-dimensional universe energy leaked, and now we are looking for a remedy?" And you want to monopolize your reputation and decide to kill me here? ”

Smart raised his hands and hurriedly explained: "Where is this all going on, Mr. Chen Jianzhou, calm down first." I'm just here to explain to you where we came from, and to tell you that I'm going to propose a relaunch of the Space Scope program at a later meeting, and I hope to have your support. ”

Jianzhou loaded the magneto cannon back, helped Todd up, and said in a relaxed tone: "Is there anything else to do?" ”

"I'll finish when you ask me, there could have been a better performance." Smart walked over to the two of them, smiled embarrassedly, and patted Todd, "You said you had something I wanted to talk about, what was it?" ”

Todd's monitor went off, and he was having an urgent conversation with Alisa in his private channel.

"#陈老师就在旁边, do you really want him to see it too?"

"#现在不是隐藏秘密的时候了, let my dad know as much as possible."

"#你要想好, this is not a simple explanation of knowledge, reference points at different times are an important part of memory, and the conflict of reference points will form peculiarities, which may make people collapse in it."

"#他能承受."

Todd looked at Alisa's last sentence, lit up the display, and looked at Chen Jianzhou: "Mr. Chen, if you were told something more terrible than tiw causing the universe to collapse, what do you think it would be?" ”

Jianzhou first looked at Smart, then immediately turned to Todd and said, "You say, I can bear it." ”

Chen Jianzhou adjusted the transparent layer of the adaptive helmet and held Todd's hand tightly.

"Understood," Todd nodded, turning on the hologram, "my friend thinks you can, too." ”
