Prologue Chapter 1 Ancestral Dragon
Even years later, Zu Long could not accurately describe the world he was in in the Chaos Sea, even though he was born in that world and lived there for many years.
The reason why it can't be described is not that Zulong doesn't have enough vocabulary, it's not that Zulong lacks knowledge, and it's not that he is not smart enough to carry out correct logic, on the contrary, he is the last group of survivors in the Sea of Chaos - an extremely intelligent guy who is called the demon god by later mythology.
The reason why he can't say why he came here is mainly because there are many other things, and he doesn't know much about them.
If it had to talk about what it was like living in the Sea of Chaos, the ancestral dragon would try to describe how it felt.
"It's so crowded!" Zu Long squeezed a word out from between his teeth.
"Squeeze?" The old man who was talking to Zu Long was a little puzzled, in order to complete the great mission of this book, the old man had already incarnated into a string of thinking codes and wandered in Hengyu.
Although the sacrifice was enormous, the ability obtained was far beyond his expectations.
This body composed of thinking codes can ignore the rules of space, for it, there is no difference between distance and nearness, size, and a single thought, it can cross countless star fields, and there is no need to worry about those gravitational perverted black holes and melting stars along the way, it cannot feel the heat and cold, and it is completely immune to physical attacks.
It is precisely by virtue of this that Lao Fang can easily stand in front of Zu Long and act as a reporter to chat with Zu Long.
"Is it because there are too many big guys like you that cause the Chaos Walrus to be as crowded as canned sardines?" Lao Fang tried to extract the maximum logical level from his own thinking to understand the meaning of "squeezing".
The conversation box has been opened, it may be that he has been lonely for too long, and Zu Long is also very happy to talk to such a guy.
"No!" The ancestral dragon shook his head, its head was extremely huge, just this action of shaking its head had already brought a devastating disaster to dozens of surrounding galaxies, an extremely terrifying storm swept through hundreds of thousands of light-years of space, and everything in this space was undergoing a process of disintegration.
Countless substances were crushed into powder by an irresistible force in this second......
Fortunately, the old party was unharmed, otherwise this conversation would not have been able to continue.
Zu Long was accustomed to this, and his expression did not fluctuate at all: "The Chaos Sea is extremely large, if you compare it to the largest ocean on your planet, then we, the things you call Demon Gods, were like mayfly creatures back then, living in it extremely small. Perhaps a drop of water contains thousands, if not tens of thousands, of creatures like us. ”
If what Zu Long said is true, then the volume of "this drop of water" should not be much smaller than the standard universe.
Lao Fang opened his mouth, feeling that the distance measurement units in his vocabulary must be greatly upgraded, what centimeters, decimeters, kilometers, it is completely useless, and even units like light years feel a little congenitally insufficient.
Zu Long ignored Lao Fang's shock, his expression became a little strange, as if he remembered something, and as if he was remembering something.
The conversation with Lao Fang was like a storm, setting off his long-sealed memories.
Soon, he collected his feelings, smiled, and continued the topic just now: "What do you think of my body?" ”
Lao Fang glanced at this behemoth spanning hundreds of galaxies, and said four words: "Majestic." ”
Zu Long chuckled, quite satisfied with the word, but it still said what it wanted to say, and before speaking, he casually pinched a planet tens of thousands of times larger than Jupiter on his fingertips, pointed to a certain mountain range, and said: "When I was in the Chaos Sea, my body was not much bigger than a stone in this mountain range. ”
Lao Fang immediately roughly calculated that the space occupied by the two was not the same, the former was measured in 100,000 light years, while the latter could only be measured in kilometers.
If the former is an endless desert, the space occupied by the latter is definitely smaller than a speck of dust that is difficult for the eye to detect.
"Was it because you were a child that there was such a gap?" Lao Fang thought of a possibility.
"Of course not!" The ancestral dragon shook his head again, and the dozens of galaxies around him suffered another disaster: "We guys are different from you creatures, there is no distinction between adults and children, the reason why it is like that is very simple, because in the Chaos Sea, the density of all matter is extremely large. ”
Zu Long thought for a moment, as if he was organizing words that the old man could understand: "All matter is squeezed by the most central part of the chaos core, and the forces that make atomic-level particles collapse are constantly pressing towards the chaos core, this is what I call squeezing." ”
"The reason why my body was so small back then was because the atoms that made up my body had been squeezed to the smallest state under that huge force, just like cotton being twisted into a thin thread, there was no gap between neutrons and protons, and the electrons were the most pitiful, and they were fixed next to the nucleus of the atom, unable to move for half a minute."
Zu Long paused: "In the Chaos Sea, all objects are directly composed of atoms, and there is no molecule in our concept at all, because all the electrons are bound, and there are no chemical bonds between atoms, and they are densely packed in a small space, even if there is a certain mutual repulsion between each other, they cannot offset the squeezing force given to them by the Chaos Sea." ”
"Because the gaps between these particles are too small, the density of the matter is extremely high, and correspondingly, the mass of the same volume of matter becomes extremely large."
"The more massive the object, the greater its gravitational pull, in the chaotic sea, you have to always be careful of those mountains that are countless times greater than the gravitational force of the black hole, if you are not careful, you will be swept up by it, and you will never get out again, secondly, the gravitational force between the objects is also very perverted, and various forces are constantly involved, which makes it extremely difficult to move in this chaotic sea."
"Perhaps, you can imagine when your sun is squeezed into a fist-sized shape."
"The squeezing force of the Chaos Sea is so great?" Old Fang was taken aback, it was hard for him to imagine how much force it would take to squeeze a star the size of a fist, but he knew that what Zu Long said might be true.
It was too old to investigate, and if it weren't for Zu Long's description, even the most knowledgeable scientists in Lao Fang's race would not be able to speculate on anything in the Chaos Sea. I don't know what happened more than 20 billion years ago, in this place known as the birthplace.
Zu Long's gaze became a little distant, as if he was remembering something, and then said with a wry smile: "You humans invented a game called the Snake, and for a long time, I was like the Snake, devouring each other in an extremely narrow space, so that I became stronger and stronger. At that time, the space seemed to me to be a two-dimensional space, with only length and width, and no distinction between top and bottom. The pressure was so great that I didn't even have the strength to jump, so I could only slowly squirm around, looking for someone weaker than me! I ...... back then"
The ancestral dragon began to narrate the cruelty in the Chaos Sea back then, it turned out that such a powerful existence as the ancestral dragon also had an extremely difficult life in the Chaos Sea.
The ancestral dragon's chatter can undoubtedly give the entire human race a layer of understanding of that ancient era.
Lao Fang naturally would not let go of such an opportunity, and when he waited for Zu Long to describe a passage that he had personally experienced, he asked a question that had puzzled him for a long time: "Does a demon god like you still belong to the category of living beings?" ”
"Of course!" Zu Long smiled and nodded: "We can be said to be "creatures" in the Chaos Sea, of course, our life forms are different from you humans, the matter that makes up our bodies is not cells, it is not nerves that make us think, and the energy that allows us to carry out activities does not come from chemical reactions, our life forms cannot be explained by your current technology, but we do belong to the category of living things. ”
"Is your life form higher?" Lao Fang asked.
"I think so!" Zu Long smiled: "At least I haven't seen a human being who has lived for more than 20 billion years!" ”
"Lifespan is not the only measure of life form!" The old man retorted with some unconvincing.
Zu Long glanced at Lao Fang seriously, and then smiled: "You are wrong, when the lifespan reaches an extreme, the life form is also high to an extreme. Didn't your ancestors also dream of living with heaven and earth, you yourself can't do it for the time being, if you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, it's not good! ”
Lao Fang was still stubborn: "I'm just saying that lifespan is not the only criterion, and our human life form may have other advantages!" ”
"In my opinion, the shortcomings of your current life form outweigh the advantages!" Zu Long pointed out unceremoniously: "Your current body is actually extremely fragile, and with the gravity of the earth, you can't jump from more than 100 meters in the air and still jump alive when you fall to the ground." ”
"A bullet, a bottle of poison, a bomb can easily take your life, and death has always been a shadow in your life!"
"Do you think this kind of life form has any advantages compared to my body, which has lived for more than 20 billion years?" Zu Long's tone was very flat, he was just recounting a fact.
Lao Fang thought for a long time, and finally realized that there was a gap between him and the ancestral dragon that was wider than the galaxy.
When he decided to forget about this problem, it was a pity that Zulong did not take care of his feelings, and he continued: "With your life form, if you go close to the Chaos Sea, when you are close to the Chaos Sea ten billion light years away, you have been torn apart by the pulling force of the Chaos Sea, all the cells will gradually lose water, the blood will dry up, and the bones will gradually lose their toughness, that state is very similar to your mummies. ”
"If you get any closer, the cells that make up your body will be separated into a bunch of scattered atoms, and your body will seem to evaporate, and it will disappear from your vision. At this time, the total matter of your body is still there, but it is squeezed into a ball smaller than a drop of water by the gravitational pull of the Chaos Sea. ”
"If you get closer, to the surface of the Chaos Sea, the particles that make up your body will also suffer stronger compression, and at that time, you may not be much bigger than a water molecule."
"And your life has long since been destroyed by the destruction of brain structures, the loss of memories, emotions, and perception of things, and you have been wiped out."
Zu Long used a very cruel logic to explain the facts, and the old man had no way to refute it, because it was a fact.
"Of course, an environment as brutal as the Sea of Chaos no longer exists!" Zu Long paused, and continued to ask, "But can your life forms really adapt to the current universe?" ”
He didn't wait for Lao Fang to answer, and said to himself: "The answer is no!" ”
"You can't be exposed to a vacuum, and without oxygen, the chemistry in your body won't be able to provide the energy your body needs, and over time, you'll die of lack of oxygen."
"You can't stand the heat and the cold, you can't lack water and food, you can't work long hours without sleeping......"
"Such a life form can also make a fuss on the planet where you were born, and once you leave your own planet, you will not be able to adapt."
"Not to mention walking on the surface of the stars, the difficulty factor is too high for you now, just how you adapt to those planets with a radius of a hundred times that of the Earth, the gravitational pull alone can make it difficult for you to move an inch!"
The old man was silent, and Zu Long's words made him completely fall into deep thought.
Zu Long sighed: "Speaking of which, you humans are still too young! But it is undeniable that you have developed very rapidly in recent years, and given some time, you will be able to solve these problems. ”
The ancestral dragon seemed to have lost interest in talking, he shook his body, his body continued to collapse in front of the old Fang's eyes, condensing into a dragon-like creature millions of kilometers in size, he looked at the old man who was still thinking, and said something meaningful: "You still need to speed up your pace, there are many strong neighbors in your universe." ”
After speaking, the ancestral dragon broke through the gravitational pull of this universe and swam towards the outer universe.
At the moment when he left, Lao Fang came back to his senses, raised his eyes, and saw that outside the universe, hundreds of millions of universes of different shapes and colors were spread over a huge long river.
The figure of the ancestral dragon swam in that long river extremely fast, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
That was the first time Lao Fang met Zulong......
