Chapter 43: The Ouroboros

The last 0.3 light-years of the journey was coming to an end, and the journey was very peaceful, and silence returned. In the last 59 years, Ruan Lin and WIT mastered the elaborate process of the large-scale particle collider.

He still kept thinking about Lin De in his heart, and when he thought of this, Ruan Lin would have a chill down his spine, which violated the law of moisture increase. He repeatedly checked the time records at that time, and everything was normal, and the flow of time was still correlated and incremental.

The unknown is the most terrifying, this may be a weapon created by a certain advanced civilization, Ruan Lin has thought of countless possibilities.

Ruan Lin was already able to see Barnard at this time, and although its radius is only one-fifth of that of the Sun, it may be the oldest star in the Milky Way! Half of its body was in the coffin, and it was still a dim red dwarf in nature. It can only be observed with an astronomical telescope on Earth.

It is extremely old, taking 130 days to complete one rotation, while the young and vigorous sun only needs 25 days. It is also a flare, and it also erupts into stellar flares.

Ruan Lin used the Hubble telescope to observe the rear: "Even if it is 6 light-years away from the solar system!" The Sun's rays are still recognizable, and it is the brightest star in the sky, with its coordinates just east of the constellation Monoceros. ”

"Two terrestrial planets were discovered, Barnard B and C." wit's reminder sounds.

Ruan Lin exclaimed, "The results of the earth scientists' speculation are correct! It's not like the last time Proxima D's oolong! ”

"Discover the ship of Linde, a member of the Los civilization, on a comet orbiting Barnard." WIT's words instantly pulled Ruan Lin into the abyss.

"On a comet? What does this mean..?"

"The ship is embedded in this comet with a radius of 16 kilometers, which is far away from Barnard, and its orbital speed is only 5 km/s, and the reflectivity of this comet is about 6%, and the reflectivity of this ship is 21%."

WIT opens the center screen and zooms in. I saw that the gray ship had been shattered, and most of the hull had sunk deep into the comet.

Ruan Lin suddenly felt endless remorse, it was this comet, not a gamma storm, that caused its fall, and he warned Linde that his actions had caused this tragedy instead!

"Hurry up and make the next capture! It's all my fault... Also to.. How could a gamma storm hit his ship so coincidentally? ”

"I'm too superstitious about pigeons, I think... As long as Linde's misfortune can be avoided, then this choice is the right one. ”

A meteor-class destroyer quickly approached the comet, and through the perspective of the space robot, Ruan Lin saw Linde floating in space, he had become mutilated, and not far away were his legs, and the expression on his face was extremely hideous.

Ruan Lin couldn't bear to continue watching, several robots quickly completed the recovery work, and it was still a familiar control room, still a computer screen flashing with white light.

The computer soon appeared in front of Ruan Lin again, and he took the interface he had made before and plugged it into his main carrier again.

The total amount of data is still 10kb, this time it is no longer garbled, but directly displayed:

90620—27—42。 Target: The Yuval Galaxy.

And the map of the galaxy that Linde just transmitted to Ruan Lin, the Yuval star system corresponds to the solar system!

Both navigation targets were to reach the solar system, so why hasn't it changed after warning Lind this time?

Ruan Lin returned to the quantum computer, and he sighed:

"I know what the future will look like, I'm just imagining the outcome of the choice, it's a superimposed state. Linde's ship is like Schrödinger's cat!

The moment I made my choice, I opened the box that the cat was in, and the original chaotic superposition state was instantly shattered by my observations, and all possible outcomes became the only definitive results.

If I go back to the original starting point, I can simply ignore the first time I encounter a ship destroyed by a gamma burst.

Or I could have met Linde without telling him the truth, or I could have simply chosen to ignore his signals and move on.

Or....

I? Lynde? Or all the creatures in the universe are stuck in a "circular universe" model, that is, the universe has been in a cyclical cycle of the Big Bang and the Great Squeeze, and with this cycle, time will periodically change from positive to reverse flow, that is, the fate of the Linde ship will be reset countless times, and my choice will also be reset countless times.

I will only know the answer if I build the Large Particle Collider and study the properties of the Higgs boson.

I am now more convinced of the theory of "vacuum instability", and after countless years, a new universe will emerge from within the present universe and eventually replace the universe we are in. ”

Ruan Lin slowed down, he thought of the solar system, he thought of the earth.

"In this time and space we experience, time is one-way, and the universe is increasing! Our choices have an opportunity cost of time, and the end result of each creature is derived from a daily stack of choices. I wish I had eyes for the past and the future, even if I could keep saving and reading files like a love game and choosing the best ending.

But looking at the past, there have been so many choices that can only lead to one ending in the end, and they can't exist at the same time!

There is no right or wrong way to do this, and no matter what I choose, I will miss out on other possibilities, and each of those possibilities will mean a lot to me.

If you don't choose, you don't have all the possibilities? This does not exist in our one-way flowing space-time. Not choosing is also a choice, and it will have another consequence! ”

Ruan Lin's previous haze has been washed away: "This is the best proof of the macro perspective of string theory, as long as I build a large particle collider!" I'll be able to solve the Great Unification Theory! ”

Ruan Lin returned to his body and sighed: "Wit, let a few space robots capture various parts of Linde's body, his body should not wander in space forever." ”

Although there is no specific reason for this reversal of time, Nguyen Lin believes that it is by no means artificial.

He remembered a question and looked at the little dark room of Wit, though it was unlikely that there would be an answer.

"WIT, is there a way to reverse the moisture increase in the universe? Our solar system, the Earth, the Moon, humanity. Will they ever recover? ”

WIT didn't reply to Ruan Lin in a timely manner as usual, and it seemed to stop running directly.

Ruan Lin didn't seem to be able to detect the existence of WIT.

Three minutes later, wit said in its awkward electronic synthesized voice:

"The data is missing, there is no comment."
