In the void beyond the universe, any exploration must be carried out with great caution.

Because this is an absolute void, once energy and matter are consumed, it is difficult to recover.

Even in a space shelter like Ellen and Shadow, which can efficiently produce and recycle all types of energy (at a level superior to the model of the Celebrant civilization), energy and matter cannot but be regarded as the foundation of life.

PS: Around the year 7632 of the 210241 Era, by Allen. A joint scientific exploration team led by Dr. Lingtu and the artificial intelligence Shadow Master discovered a small space in the void outside the universe and established it as a shelter, which was named "Alan and Shadow".

Especially in the last few dozen epochs, in order to maintain the stable existence and development of the [Alan and Shadow] shelter, both the artificial intelligence camp and the intelligent life camp have long given up all pleasure and non-essential claims, in an effort to ensure that this small space with increasing entropy can continue to maintain a relatively low entropy level.

And all this is based on the long and cruel years of trials and baptism, in a specific stage of development and under the circumstances of the extreme realism.

It's like Hara Haochen and General Volcano Ball, who have to send themselves into an infinite loop of deep dormancy one after another in the world outside the universe.

……

This time, the small cosmic annihilation phenomenon discovered by the reconnaissance fleet sent by the [Alan and Shadow] Shelter in Void 774 was indeed very unusual, and it was the first time they had observed this type of signal. That's why Dr. Allen and Shadow are both in favor of going to the area to find out, even if this operation could consume a lot of the energy and materials contained in [Alan and Shadow's] shelters.

The fleet involved in this expedition was not large, but it consisted of two of the most sophisticated ships.

Dr. Allen, of course, is the supreme leader of the expedition fleet, and as Shadow said, she can't leave the supercomputer matrix early, otherwise the simulation of the virtual universe will be in vain.

In fact, there is another reason that restricts the travel of the leader of the AI camp, Shadow, that is, the lack of dark energy and dark matter in the void world outside the universe has led to the actions of ethereal AI individuals like her being more or less restricted. 、

It's like a fish can't swim in the air without water, and without the ubiquitous dark energy and dark matter, they can't exist in the absolute void.

……

If you count the time it takes for the Annihilation Escape Energy to propagate to the [Alan and Shadow] Shelter, Dr. Alan and the expedition fleet arrived at Void 774 (the Void region where the target subuniverse is located), which had been annihilated and dispersed for more than 17,600 years.

This day was the first day that Dr. Allen had awakened from his slumber, and the first day that the expedition fleet had entered the central area of Void 774.

[Dr. Allen, these are all energy fluctuation signals collected by the monitoring system along the way.] 】

A staff member who woke up early is reporting to Dr. Allen.

After some observation and speculation, Dr. Allen said with a little excitement: "This is an extremely obvious signal of high-dimensional space decay! Do you know what that means? 】

[Yes, Ph.D., our research team thinks so too.] The staff chimed in.

[Is the annihilation of the small universe over?] Do we still have a chance to find undecayed high-dimensional space debris inside? Dr. Allen immediately asked.

[It's a pity.] The staff member said with a grim face, "If our budget is correct, at this moment, the target universe has been completely annihilated. 】

[This...... It's amazing! Dr. Allen paced back and forth in the cabin, thinking about something, and then said regretfully, "If only the trajectory of this small universe was a little closer to our shelter. 】

[That must be something that cannot be encountered.] The staff said.

[You are right, the small universe should indeed be annihilated, and those fragments of the high-dimensional space must have also disappeared together. Dr. Allen thought of something instead, "Otherwise, where would we have observed so many and so obvious energy fluctuation signals. In this infinite void, we are blind most of the time......]

[Perhaps we can still observe something near the small universe of annihilation.] The staff was relieved.

[Of course, otherwise we would have lost so much energy and materials in vain this time.] The doctor then gave the order, "Let the research ship maintain its speed and continue to move in the direction of the small universe. 】

[Yes!] 】

The crew quickly left the cabin, leaving only Allen. Dr. Lingtu was thoughtful.

……

After another year and a half, the research ship finally approached the location of the target small universe before its annihilation.

Of course, since the target universe orbits the universe at a high speed (referring to the universe born from the original Chen), she said that the remaining spatial coordinates are not immutable.

But just as the research fleet was preparing to fly to the space coordinates after accurate calculation and positioning, the monitoring unit made an unexpected discovery.

[Doctor, the monitoring system seems to have spotted an unidentified flying unit!] 】

A message rushed straight into Dr. Allen's mind as he was eating in the dining room, and according to the custom of the title used in the message, he knew it was a communication signal from another research ship's mechanical intelligence team.

What kind of flying unit is it? Quantity, size, status, I need to know more details. 】

Dr. Allen quickly wiped his mouth, stopped eating, and responded from the air as he made his way to the command module.

[The number of flying units is very large, and according to the monitored movement trajectory, we predict that the opponent should be a fleet group of medium formations, with at least 100,000 flying units. Prompt reporting to Dr. Allen on mechanical intelligence.

[And what about the state of movement of the opposing fleet?] Dr. Allen asked again.

[The fleet is flying in the direction we are not far from the coordinates of the target small universe movement space, and their flight speed and direction are basically in sync with those before the small universe is annihilated......] mechanical intelligence replied.

[It seems that the other party must have discovered this small universe of annihilation! ] Dr. Allen then speculated, "Will it be to annihilate the Alliance's fleet, or to save the Alliance's scientific fleet sent out of the universe?" Do you see any signs of life in the fleet? 】

[Doctor, it is too difficult to detect the signal of the existence of life at such a distance, we are going to fly closer, but this may be risky, so we need your approval.] 】

Because the maneuverability and concealment capabilities of these two research ships are excellent, the mechanical intelligence aspect has made more radical suggestions accordingly.

[I agree with your point of view, immediately adjust the course and approach the target fleet in a stealthy state!] 】

Dr. Allen made a decisive decision.
