Chapter 014: I Have a Date with a Stellar
Is lightspeed travel a scam?
Hearing this, Luton was not surprised.
He had not seen the speed of light in the brave new world, nor had he experienced it.
According to the introduction of Brave New World, if you want to walk with the light, you must transform, and transformation is an act that Ludon cannot accept for the time being.
Ludon asked,
"What is the fastest speed in the universe of Brave New World?"
9D shakes his head.
Don't you know?
Ludon quickly reacted and understood why the other party shook his head.
This question does not make sense.
The universe is expanding faster than the speed of light.
To explore the real world, it is necessary to travel at the speed of light, or even faster.
Exploring the star field requires resources and technology, and resources are not a big problem, technology is.
Technological stagnation, especially the inability to break through navigation technology, is equivalent to locking the way out of the brave new world, which is why 9D said before.
Not being able to reach the speed of light means that the exploration of the brave new world is a dead end.
They can indeed roam the cold and dead universe in a spaceship, and the only thing that the universe can respond to them is cold and dead.
If this civilization is compared to a child, of course, such a metaphor is extremely inappropriate, this child, after coming out of the cradle, is like a blind man in the same circle, groping.
Civilization shouts to the universe, and the universe responds only in silence.
This has been sustained for hundreds, if not millennia, disappointing generations of hopefuls, extinguishing flames and shattering illusions one after another.
For two thousand years, they had not been able to get out of their cells with a radius of 2,000 light-years.
And in the foreseeable future, there is an even bigger cell, waiting for them.
See more, despair more.
Knowledge has become a curse in this day and age.
Eventually, this civilization became what it is now, as numb, cold, and dead as the universe.... Boring.
Ludon shook his head,
"It's the most boring story I've ever heard."
Obviously, Ludon has no more questions about Brave New World.
After all, the rules of Brave New World are put there, and if Luton has doubts, it is better to ask directly from the Rebels, and there are no two dealers to make the difference.
Giving Luden half a minute to sigh, 9D just spoke and invited,
"Mr. Luden, you can come to the Resistance Headquarters to learn more or to cooperate further..."
"I refuse."
Ludon simply interrupted the other party and gave the reason for refusal,
"Your existence is entirely due to the acquiescence of the brave new world, not so much rebellion as playfulness, like an adult playing with a child, you name yourself the Resistance, but you do the Boy Scouts, you don't even have tasty cookies.
Let me guess, all of you are from the brave new world, where will you be buried? No, you will not die, you will be tired, bored, and tired of playing, and you will return to the embrace of a brave new world.
The Resistance is just a pleasure in this boring world, and I don't play games with people."
Hearing this, 9D seemed to be stung and corrected with a frown,
"We also have comrades who have given their lives for the cause of resistance, and there are no less than 10 billion lives that have died in the process of resistance over the years..."
"I repeat, Brave New World didn't kill you, it has the ability, but it doesn't have the motive or the will to do so."
Ludon rudely interrupted the other party,
"How your people died, you know in your own heart, if everything you told me before was true."
This time, 9D fell into a longer silence.
Silence because it is impossible to refute.
Brave New World doesn't kill, it just degrades and sinks.
And this sinking is very difficult for human nature to resist, just as living beings cannot refuse sugar, some things are engraved in the DNA.
The so-called "death list" of the rebels is not complicated.
Some of them disappeared or died during the exploration of the alien space, and the part of the people who engaged in the exploration of the outside world is also known as moderates within the resistance.
The moderates have teamed up with Brave New World, who oppose life in Brave New World and want to devote their lives to more worthy causes, so they explore the unknown universe.
Although the results of the exploration are repetitive and desperate, this group of people can only use this near-martyrdom method, one after another, to find the lost fire.
There are also some people, tired, who don't want to resist anymore, give up, and out of respect for their cause, they will be sent to the death list.
The most people are desperate, there is no pillar to support them to live, they thought that the rebels were their antidote, their own fate, and a vision for which they could fight for a lifetime, but they found that this was just a bowl of chicken soup.
The Resistance is like a prescription given to them by Brave New World, stopping these intelligent beings with self-destructive tendencies from self-destructing.
However, this prescription is not very effective.
These people "died" in the revolt and voluntarily signed a waiver agreement.
Brave New World will revive them once, and after a rigorous examination, it is determined that this intelligent creature will really give up his right to life before letting him die again.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Lutdon's knowledge of the brave new world did not grow much, but he saw through the essence of the rebels at a glance.
On the other side of the screen, the unsmiling 9D had rare mood swings in his heart, and even cursed a dirty word in his heart.
"Fack! This clone really thinks he's Luden!"
That's right, clones.
All "Luden" are cloned from the remains of the Governor and Regent of the Fog Capital nearly 2,000 years ago.
For the Resistance, Ludon is more of a... Painted eggshell?
Conspiracy theorists see him as a demon, and materialists see them as a bunch of clowns.
In this family-style game, Ludon plays such an embarrassing role.
It's not a starring role, it's not a supporting role, it's just a plot easter egg, that's all.
Of course, Mr. Ludon's fate is generally not very good, these cloned guys, after coming to the rebel base, like to squeeze surplus value, the means can be said to be extremely despicable, sooner or later it will arouse public anger, and eventually become a pendant, which is a beautiful scenery of the rebel headquarters.
However, such a sharp Luden, 9D is the first time I have seen it.
I don't know why, he always feels that this time Mr. Ludon seems to be the same as the previous .... Not quite the same?
But he couldn't say, what was different.
Hopefully, Brave New World has tweaked his algorithm to make him smarter.
9D sorted out his mood and asked tentatively,
"Since you don't want to come to the rebel headquarters, what are you going to do next, return to Brave New World?"
Hearing this question, Ludon did not answer immediately, but looked up at the sky.
Nearly 2,000 years have passed, and the world has changed dramatically, but some things are eternal.
For example, the universe.
For example, commitment.
Ludon let out a long breath, half emotional, half expectant and said,
"I have a date with a star."
He's going to an appointment.
