Chapter 42: Déjà vu (Add more to the helmsman's miniature example!) )
The central screen shows the appearance of a sapient being: a humanoid creature with human-like facial features, except that his overall skin color is blue, without any hair, and his ears resemble those of a fantasy elf, and he wears a top similar to a spacesuit, but with a faint white glow everywhere.
He hacked a quantum computer! Here's how to do it! Ruan Lin could feel a force at this time preventing him from returning to the computer's main carrier.
He laughed and spoke fluent Chinese: "Nice to meet you!" Your native language is interesting, I'm a member of the Los civilization, my name is Linde, I found your fleet 0.8 light-years away from you, where are you going? ”
He slung his right hand over his shoulder, then lowered it again.
Ruan Lin stared at the camera on the central screen and did the same.
Ruan Lin breathed a sigh of relief for a moment and said with a smile: "Dear Los civilization, we are an Earth civilization, and we are about to go to the Barnard system in our dictionary. ”
He was excited: "Hey! The two of us look alike! There are too few similar species of intelligent civilizations in the universe! I'll send you a map of nearby galaxies! ”
Ruan Lin once again felt the presence of the total carrier, and he sent a complete map of the Milky Way, marked everywhere.
"Thank you for your kindness! Where are you heading? Ruan Lin took the initiative to ask.
With a proud look on his face, he continued to laugh: "Our Los civilization is an exploratory civilization, and I am about to travel to the next star system!" ”
"An exploratory civilization? What does it mean, please? Ruan Lin urgently needed to get words out of his mouth.
He looked surprised: "You don't even know? Has your civilization just flown out of its home planet? There are all kinds of hobby civilizations in the universe, and there are some commercial empire civilizations, according to your dictionary, that are doing business everywhere! They sell everything you can't think of. There are also some trash evil civilizations, their entire civilization is drunk and dreaming of death, living in the virtual world, and only a small number of members trade with foreign countries. There is also an exploratory civilization like ours, our civilization has developed to a certain extent, we have no desires, we just want to see the whole universe, we read every star system, the big river system, and some uncommon hobby civilizations. Belch.. You'll find out later! ”
At this point, the previous pieces of garbled characters suddenly turned into a set of data and a galaxy name: 90620-26-42. Target: The Yuval Galaxy.
Ruan Lin smiled: "Yes, our earth civilization has indeed only flown out of the home planet not long ago, thank you for talking to me so patiently!" ”
Linde's hands were about to press a button: "Hmm... It's time for me to go! Good luck! Earth Civilization! ”
Ruan Lin suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart, and subconsciously blurted out: "There is a ship ahead!" ”
Linde wondered, "A ship? Where? Within my range, there is only your fleet. I'm carrying an object detector with a range of 1 light year. ”
Ruan Lin's sense of fear became even more palpable, and his hands began to tremble: "I can swear by the entire civilization!" There's a ship ahead. Exactly like your ship! I passed by this ship not long ago! ”
Linde frowned: "How is this possible?" There are almost no observation errors in the object detector, do you have a video from that time? ”
"Yes, we... The ships of civilization recorded this moment! That ship was destroyed because of a gamma storm! Ruan Lin took his terrible conjecture one step further.
Ruan Lin's consciousness returned to the quantum computer and began to manipulate the quantum communication device to send this video.
One second later, Linde received the video, and he turned to Ruan Lin and started playing.
His expression changed from initial confusion to panic, and his enthusiasm vanished in an instant, and he tapped the console with his trembling hands.
"No..! I'm going to see for myself! ”
Almost a frame in the video, his ship quickly disappeared in front of Ruan Lin's eyes, and dozens of seconds later, he returned to the front of the Earth Civilization Fleet. He grew more and more panicked on the screen.
He roared: "There's nothing there!" I shook it around! Nothing! ”
Ruan Lin's hands grabbed his hair: "This... That's impossible! I have never touched your civilization before, that ship is the first time I have encountered it, and I swear by the life of the entire civilization! ”
Linde's eyes widened as he continued to tap on the ship's console: "This is all the data on my ship!" I sent it to you! It is automatically transformed into the language of your civilization! Do you have data on that ship! Any data is fine! Anything goes! That's impossible! ”
Ruan Lin received the data, which included the captain's logbook, the voyage process, the ship's personnel, and-
90620—26—41。 Target: The Yuval Galaxy.
Ruan Lin seemed to be able to feel the numbness of the scalp of this mechanical body, and the skin all over his body seemed to have goosebumps.
90620—27—41。 Target: The Yuval Galaxy.
If you understand correctly, then the spaceship that was hit by the gamma crit was an hour later!
26—27。
Ruan Lin hurriedly returned to the quantum computer carrier, speculating on the consequences, if the ship that was hit by the gamma crit was indeed the one that Linde was on, if this was indeed his future fate, then any information he revealed would lead to unforeseen results.
If he had told him this fact in time, he would have fled quickly. This interferes with the timeline.
If he doesn't tell him about this fact, then he might rush to the next star system and get hit by a gamma crit on the way!
His fate is in his own hands.
What about me? Am I also caught up in this cycle? The next Ruan Lin continued to choose like this, and he would never be able to escape this cycle.
Nguyen Lin chose the former, and he hoped that Linde would be safe and sound.
“90620—26—42。 Target: The Yuval Galaxy. This is the information I gathered on that ship, and the computer on that ship is with me at the moment! I'll send you the original data! I have this computer delivered to your ship! ”
Ruan Lin hurriedly commanded several space robots to deliver the computer to Linde's ship.
Linde was anxiously studying Ruan Lin's past data at the moment, talking to himself in his own language and typing a series of commands into the console.
"Thank you! Earth civilization. That's a paradox, I think. If a time traveler goes back in time, even if it's just a minute ago, and then he kills himself a minute ago.
How could a dead person travel through time a minute later? And without time travel, how could he be killed by himself a minute later? ”
I saw that his ship's engine had been started, heading in the direction of Barnard.
In the next second, the ship was gone.
Good luck! Lynde.
