2183 Invisible Resistance
Even the Chromographic Center can't see too far from the Island Hospital from where it is, and can't see the planet it is on as a whole. However, it is convinced that it can do many things, that it has broken through theoretical heights that humanity has never been able to reach, that its own existence is an anomalous pathology, but also a miracle. It once made some people in the hospital believe that it could restart the entire planet, and even disassemble, purify, and reinstall the entire galaxy, just like exchanging blood, to complete a large-scale purification within the scope of their own capabilities, and make the "world" they know the most familiar and adaptable to it.
It believes it can do it, and the only reason it doesn't do it is that it is useless to do so while the virus is there, and no matter how much it resets and restores the rotten to its original form, it can't prevent the renewed and purified parts from falling into the "virus" infection again. It cannot observe, nor can it grasp the normal body of the "virus", so it cannot completely eradicate the lesion from the root.
In other words, if such a powerful self still can't parse the "virus", then how can you be sure that resetting everything within your own cognition will restore everything to its original state and prevent another infection?
Moreover, under this most fundamental contradiction, there are other reasons that make the color center slightly inclined to a conservative attitude: although it thinks that it can do it, it is more still the theoretical breakthrough that brings it confidence, and from the perspective of practical preparation, it has not even a small-scale practice, and the connection between theory and practice is still full of too many uncertainties.
If the reset of the entire planet or even the entire galaxy fails, it means that all existence, including itself, will disintegrate and become another form beyond the scope of its own theory - even the color center does not know what it will become, and it will not be able to guarantee the existence of everyone, including himself.
This is the ultimate means of "failure once and complete failure".
According to the idea of the color center, it should have been carried out at its own pace, step by step, to confirm the results of each step, and to improve the success rate in a relatively gentle rhythm. It thought it had the time: it didn't need much, just a few more months. However, when it came, it was so brutal that it found itself that it didn't seem to have even "a few months" of time.
In the process of racing against unimaginable tragedies, although he has been desperately accelerating, neither the initial velocity nor the acceleration value is far enough to resist the threat from the "virus". Especially when a sudden mutation in the apocalyptic illusion spreads its influence to the entire hospital in a way that it can't even observe or understand, it finds that the way the "virus" exists has once again changed beyond its expectations, and the distance that it thought it was close to understanding was once again far away.
In the observation of the color center, any movement that occurs in the doomsday illusion will affect the body of the doomsday syndrome patient, and the relationship between the two is an extremely close mental and material interaction, and the doomsday syndrome patient, who does not distinguish between the LCL state or the slightly normal human form, nor does he distinguish between the overt pathology and the hidden latent state, all of them will be affected without exception, including it, Gao Chuan and Super Dorothy, and then, this influence will not stay at the doomsday syndrome patient himself, Instead, the doomsday syndrome patient is used as a signal platform to release a large number of signals to the entire planet and beyond the planet, quietly changing the scope of observation and cognition in an obscure way.
In this process, the color system center cannot be sure whether the signals it has detected are all the same, nor can it conclude whether there are other changes in addition to the changes it has confirmed. The ever-expanding impact of patients with apocalyptic syndrome is so complex that even what can be actually observed cannot be fully explained by theories that break through the upper limits of human cognition - the theoretical height of being able to disassemble the Milky Way and then reassemble it to present a more complete prospect of a unified theory has emerged in the face of that terrifying and profound influence.
The depth of this boundary makes the color center feel like the abyss between the cognitive height that people have reached after the existence of the "Four Basic Forces" has just been confirmed, and the imaginative height that people can reach after the "field theory" has been formed.
It was a theoretical trench that could not be completed in "a few months" anyway.
The isolated island hospital is isolated, and the color center cannot observe the world outside the hospital from a higher perspective, but can only understand this vast world from a theoretical perspective from its own new theories. The size of the world it knows depends entirely on how big the world it can describe in its theory, and this range depends on the perception of the world by all people with doomsday syndrome from the very beginning: the size of the world that the doomsday syndrome can know is the starting point of its understanding of the concept of "world".
The reason why it was able to break through the theoretical ceiling that human beings already possess and reach a height beyond human imagination is that it is completely standing on the shoulders of "human beings" and using its own perspective beyond the human form to stretch this height.
But because of this, its own limits are also determined by these necessary factors.
The color center knows this.
Even so, it still had to take some extreme measures in the midst of sudden changes. For example, he uses Takakawa's diary to trigger certain changes that are very abnormal and incomprehensible in the eyes of others, and to counter the abnormal changes that erupt from the apocalyptic fantasy and then affect the "whole world" within the reach of his theory. Fighting change with change is already its most common means in addition to the hole cards of "resetting the world within the cognitive range".
In the apocalyptic fantasy, the color center often uses the "script" to do such things. However, in the apocalyptic fantasy, even when using the script, it is sneaky and hides itself behind the scenes. However, the fact that the physical world of the hospital is now experiencing such large-scale changes naturally means that it must move from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.
The Nexus never intended to do this when it was ready, but it had to.
Who is the enemy? What exactly is the enemy? What kind of danger is chasing you? It's okay to say it's a "virus", but what exactly is a "virus"? Without addressing this fundamental question, the answers to other questions are vague.
The color center felt that the formless threat was still formless, it emerged from the darkness, rose and fell in the darkness, chasing it, driving it, it itself was like a rabbit that was gradually cornered, running blindly. Whether it is the change of form, or the restraint is unlocked, whether it is hidden in the island, or it rises from the depths, connects with the tower, turns the entire isolated island hospital into its own body, and even, spreads its own existence into the sea with the help of LCL...... None of these responses and approaches have been able to alleviate the terrible pressure and sense of urgency.
It is true that what you have to face is a "virus", even if you are not prepared, you can mobilize part of your own power in advance, and forcibly distort your own way of existence into such a hideous and sad form, you still can't confirm where this "virus" is. And where: farther away, those rotten seas? Is it a tumbling, rising land-based? Is it an inorganic substance that changes its properties at any time? Are those animals that mutate into all sorts of ugly postures? Is it the wind blowing on this planet? Or are they purple-red cumulus clouds that keep rolling in the sky and burst out of the terrible ball lightning?
The planet it is on, just looking out from the isolated island hospital, you can intuitively feel that this planet has become so unusual, and the blue planet that people knew in the past has already changed its nature from the internal structure. It is conceivable that if you look at this planet from space, it will be like the sky you are looking at, purple red, full of lightning, and full of scar-like cracks.
It is as if the life that once existed in the past has either completely died or transformed its form, just like it is now, and only by completely changing its form of existence can it adapt to this completely changed world—the isolated island hospital was once maintained by its power, changing more slowly than the world outside the island, but it has also reached its limit.
From this point of view, the color center feels extremely sorry for the "death" of those researchers: it was really intended to combine the wisdom and strength of the survivors to complete the final work. However, the sudden upheaval made it impossible to give them another chance. Even if it doesn't push them to death, they will never survive in an increasingly deteriorating environment.
Rather than allowing them to undergo anomalous changes that they don't know about and can't take advantage of, it's better for it to give them death on itself, so that their value can still be used after their death. This is the conclusion that the color center finally came to after careful consideration. Judging from the facts of today, the color center admires Dr. Ander very much, and the work they have done, the vigilance they have shown in their work, and the situation they have been vigilant about, have all become a reality on this day.
The island hospital as a whole is like a living monster, this monster is immersed in the pale yellow LCL sea, lazily turning its body and the "flagella" on its body. The color center has risen to the base of the tower, and together with it, it is like the largest "flagellated" tower, changing its previous soft posture, lifting it straight again, stretching upward, growing thousands of meters taller, and penetrating into the purple-red, thunder-covered cumulus clouds. As a result, a large amount of lightning fell down the tower and released into the sea of LCL, causing the pale yellow sea to boil - it is said to be boiling, but it is not "the liquid has reached the boiling point after being refueled", but another boiling sensation that can be described as "the surge of life".
It's like a school of fish that has been disturbed, like a forest that wakes up in the morning, refreshed, but still seems to be unusually moving, appearing in this pale yellow sea.
The Color-Binding Center carefully executed each step, and it could already feel more clearly that its enemies were not so much concrete as everything outside except where it was. Like a small patch on the surface of this alienated planet, it tries to disguise its differences, but it certainly can't.
It still can't see where the "virus" is, or what the body of the "virus" is, but the planet it was on that once called it home has become an entity's enemy.
The yellowish LCL sea area continues to spread outward, and the more it spreads, the more the color center can feel the pressure from the outside: it is not a simple physical resistance, but a complex pressure that is extremely complex and its elements cannot be identified one by one. The effect of this pressure on the LCL will also be transmitted to it.
Although the color system center has used various methods to increase the amount of LCL that is decreasing to a sea area, the reaction of water has not stopped, and the speed is still accelerating - this is one of the most direct manifestations of the impact from the apocalyptic illusion, the color system center was unable to fundamentally solve this impact in the past, and it is still unable to solve it now, the speed of converting the sea area into LCL is gradually decreasing, and it is very clear that there will be a moment when the rate of LCL increase and consumption will be reversed again, and at that timeIf at that time, you still can't face the "virus" as planned, then you have to take a risky approach, open the last hole card, and reset the "world" you know, at least the physical reset of the entire planet.
The research of theories is accelerating, and although almost all researchers have been lost, "death" in the reality of the hospital is no longer the same as real death in its technology. The disintegration of the material form of these dead people is nothing more than a transformation of form, and their ideology has been preserved using advanced technology. And this still expanding LCL sea area is in itself the foundation that is sufficient to support the existence and activities of the personality.
