Chapter 2: The ...... Awakened in the Light
The grand epic quietly begins, and a miracle is born in the light.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yoyo Universe ......
Tens of billions of years of famine have turned a small dot full of great power into a brilliant world of stars.
Superclusters are distributed in a fibrous form to every corner of the universe, and galaxies are running wild here like high-speed trains......
Stars breathe flames, planets stroll indifferently, comets scatter and fly.
The quasars bloom with an infinitely bright aura, and in the gap between galaxies, they can perform their own glorious epic......
The black hole slowly rotates, greedily devouring objects that come close to it, and then bursts out powerful beams of high-energy particles from its poles......
From galaxy clusters colliding to wave function collapses, everything is running in an orderly manner......
……
This is, a corner of the universe.
A large rosy nebula filled the dark vacuum, but the nebula was no longer as calm as it once was.
On that day, a huge shockwave from a distant supernova erupted across the nebula. Under the impact of kinetic energy, the nebula began to shrink inward.
The hand of fate gently knocked down the first domino.
After the nebula suddenly contracted part of it under the action of external forces, it did not slowly stop, on the contrary, after the distance decreased, the originally weak gravitational pull strengthened slightly, and these forces dragged the matter to continue to move closer to the center.
In the process, the nebula begins to rotate.
Due to the nature of rotational angular momentum, the center of the nebula gradually becomes concave and rotates faster and faster. As more material is added to the rotation, the pressure in the center increases as the velocity increases.
Under the influence of the ever-increasing gravitational pull, the nebula began to slowly move inward, faster and faster, faster and faster, until the massive body, which was originally measured in light years, gradually shrank into a small area......
The pressure on hydrogen in the center has finally reached a critical point.
Four hydrogen atoms fuse into one helium atom, releasing two positrons and two neutrinos at the same time. The reduced mass in the reaction is completely converted into energy according to the mass-energy equation of E=mc^2.
This is called nuclear fusion.
When the first hydrogen fusion reaction begins, the chain reaction causes it to grow rapidly at a geometric rate, which is macroscopically ......
After quietly rotating for billions of years, the stars are lit up!
In an instant, a huge storm of particles swept out from the center. Countless detriths of material were left far behind by the stellar winds of the nascent star. This force kept moving forward, washing the surrounding interstellar gas out of this small space and sweeping the entire star system......
A bright light that illuminates the world. This is the light of hope.
The newborn star breathes flames and begins a new life in this tiny stellar space......
……
Quantum mechanics dictates: in the world of probability waves, anything is possible.
The star is a world of energy, and a huge amount of energy is constantly produced in hydrogen fusion, making every particle here extremely active.
By chance, a small electromagnetic pulse signal was generated, and in the process of propagation, the random transitions of virtual particles attached to this signal wave formed a mystical shape, which was an unprecedented high-dimensional configuration.
After absorbing energy, some virtual particles maintain their original form and transform into real particles, but they do not break off the connection with the original composition, but use the interference of waves to the physical particles to further expand this mutation.
Perhaps by chance, the intense nuclear reaction in the star did not destroy this strange signal that mixed the properties of energy, matter, information and dimension at the same time, and it has already constituted a new particle.
Perhaps we can call it a semaphonon, a peculiar structure with an uncertain spin value.
These signalns begin to instinctively absorb the energy around them. The energy in the stars is readily available, and there is a lot of light and heat everywhere.
Then, the semaprons made a truly world-changing move – replicating themselves, and using a swarm quantum entanglement that can remain stable in a nuclear-explosive high temperature environment to connect each semapron in series.
Coincidence is also inevitable. This is a power that only life possesses.
Like the spread of a plague, this peculiar signalon can be described as a fish in water and move freely in the high-temperature and high-pressure environment of the star. The rate of proliferation of life is far from comparable to that of matter under purely natural conditions, and soon, this signalon spreads like a virus to every corner of the star. They form a huge network of minds throughout the star, and are even beginning to be able to interfere with the material world to a certain extent.
The signalon itself can move consciously and has the ability to lock relative to spatial coordinates. Therefore, although the momentum of a single signalon is too small to exert a significant force directly on the physical particle, no particle is stationary.
According to the uncertainty principle, it is impossible for particles to remain at rest, because 0 is also a definite value, so countless particles are in a never-ending irregular motion, which is also the meaning of temperature.
The signalron can move to a position of the particle of matter, i.e., the fermion, blocking its probability wave, so that the particle of matter will naturally move in other directions.
However, because of the passive nature of this manipulation, this method will basically only have a significant macroscopic effect in the ultra-high temperature environment inside the star, otherwise, the signalns are also suitable for locking the material structure, protecting it from damage, or filtering some particles.
When the stellar virtual network of signalns was formed, this network, which was far more complex than the average biological brain, finally began to have a hazy response......
……
Not......
Everything in the world seems to be shrouded in a layer of fog, without any consciousness, without any concept.
Monotonous voices reverberate in a never-tireless manner, they have been reverberating in this universe for more than ten billion years, and only the sharpest of senses can capture them.
"Rustle...... Rustle rustle...... Rustle rustle ......"
Miscellaneous...... What was that...... It's noisy......
Although there is no clear vocabulary, the fluctuations in consciousness clearly express this impatience......
But not only that, in addition to the noisy and disordered microwave background radiation, electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves from the depths of the starry sky, and even information and data generated in the environment due to quantum entanglement are also pouring in. Completely unaware of how to stop, the hazy consciousness could only keep receiving it and instinctively begin to interpret the information......
Even without any support, with a large amount of data and powerful computing power, it is still possible to forcibly parse a part of the data, not to mention that there is not only language information in it, but also pictures and voice information.
“…… Signal ...... Welcome...... This...... Heavenly body...... etc......"
"...... Orders...... Hope...... By...... War...... Three ......"
"Starry Sky...... Request...... Read...... Regression...... Yuchen ......"
"Snail ...... Double star...... Island...... Biota...... ...... again"
……
After a long journey through the starry sky, even if this virtual network is equivalent to using an entire star as a receiver, the signals emitted by these unknown years ago are incomplete......
But the consciousness instinctively draws on the knowledge, and it begins to memorize the broken words and put them together. Although it is not very efficient, it has the time to memorize a language for hundreds of millions of years and try to understand some of the words and knowledge in it......
As an almost immortal collective consciousness, it has plenty of time.
Time accumulates knowledge, and knowledge creates wisdom.
……
Over hundreds of millions of years, the linguistic information carried by these signals has undergone a major transformation, but even with a large increase in vocabulary, the consciousness has been able to clearly understand the meaning of these languages, and it has even succeeded in interpreting some picture signals to help it understand them......
Consciousness began to understand those amazing civilizations, and the mysteries of the universe.
There is nothing that time cannot destroy, and there is nothing that time cannot shape, everything is possible.
But that's not enough...... Consciousness hazes this feeling that this information is too trivial to form a complete logical framework, and that critical complete information is needed.
It is impossible to fully understand the world...... What to do?
Despite this, its consciousness has not become agitated by hormones like ordinary creatures, and as an astral creature, it is not lacking in patience...... Or rather, too much patience.
Indifferent, calm, take a step at a time.
It was supposed to have been lived peacefully like this until that day came.
……
It was a normal day...... Although there is no concept of time in "day" for consciousness at all, and those concepts of day and night are meaningless to it at all, an uninvited guest appears.
Although the galaxy is filled with a large amount of rock chips and thin gas thrown out during star formation, it is still very empty compared to the huge spatial scale of the star system.
In an open area, the central star has turned into a point of light on the horizon, and only the huge gravitational pull is still attracting the material here.
space, ripples.
The distortion of the scenery spreads out in a flat circle to the surroundings, and at this time, the magnitude of this spatial fluctuation has completely exceeded the normal range of quantum fluctuations, and it has become more and more violent.
Zizizi......
With a burst of electric hum, the space gradually began to dent. This sound is obviously not propagated by physical particles, as it is capable of propagating even in a vacuum.
The microscopic particles in this area are abnormally active, the trajectory of probability waves is stirred by forces from afar, and the quantum bubble is constantly boiling.
Suddenly, a strand of black substance appeared out of thin air, flying like sand, and quickly formed a specific shape in a dazzling dance.
The tattered metal plates on the surface reflected the starlight in all directions, revealing a desolate aura......
……
A strange sensation suddenly appeared in the conscious mind......
What's there...... Came in?
