It is a cramped, crowded, barren and arguably utterly unlivable world.

Colin sat on a public bench in the school, and he couldn't remember how many times he had looked up at the sky, but every time he looked up, he saw the same sky that he had long been tired of.

The gray storm clouds were like a lid on the earth to cover the real sky, and occasionally a few lightning bolts flashed in the gray clouds, outlining a gradually bifurcated and spreading thunder and lightning tracks, and a faint glimmer of light unyieldingly passed through the clouds, bringing some warmth and light to the land. Only by the most fortuitous moment, the storm clouds that forever covered the sky would partially disperse, and he could glimpse through those small cracks that had spread out, like a leopard in a tube, and behind the clouds was a vast and endless sea of light, bright and warm, but not dazzling.

Seeing a real, unobscured sky once was Colin's growing wish.

But there are only a handful of records in history of clouds spreading out and the whole world clearing, and the most recent record was a thousand years ago, and Colin himself did not know if he would be able to wait until that day came.

Maybe you can see this once-in-a-millennium sunny scene in your lifetime, or you may not be able to witness that gorgeous scene until you die.

Hey, Colin. The classmate's friend patted Colin on the shoulder and forcibly pulled the latter back to reality from his state of staring at the sky, which made Colin frown, but before he could speak, his classmate's friend told him in an excited and exaggerated voice that he had just learned about the new discovery: You know what? Just now, the scientific expedition team has returned, and it seems that our world borders have experienced a surge, and they are much larger than in previous years!

Colin glanced at his friend angrily, bothering to talk, then turned his head and looked at the gray sky again.

It is undoubtedly a good thing that the survey team has found that the world borders have swelled, which means that in the future, there will be many more exploitable resources, the narrow birdcage-like world will further expand and expand, the technological level and allocable resources of the whole society will increase, and more people will be allowed to be born

But what's the use of that?

Every year, the consortium allocates a large amount of money to ask the survey team to determine the boundaries and compare whether the world of order is expanding, but it has never tried to form an expedition team from the outside world to explore.

Colin thought to himself.

They have long been trapped in the Cradle World.

Everyone knows that the world they live in has boundaries, everyone has explored the mysteries and basic rules of the whole world, everyone knows that outside the world of order is a chaotic and disorderly ocean, even if their technology has developed to the point of unbelievable, even if they have exhausted all the rules of this world, even if their technology has reached the limit allowed by the rules of this world, they are still helpless against the chaotic ocean outside the birdcage.

Chaos Sea, this is the name of the people of this world for the void and chaotic outside the world boundary, but it is only an abstract name, because with their scientific and technological level and knowledge structure, they still can't describe what kind of concrete existence the Chaos Sea is, they can't describe, can't understand, and can't even recognize it, they only know that there is no concept of space up and down, left and right, no concept of time in the past, present and future, and no concept of all kinds of stable universe constants, and there is chaos that has not yet been born.

There is nothing there, but it contains everything.

Scientists once suspected that the expansion of the world and the generation of matter after expansion are actually related to the chaotic sea in the outside world, they described the world as a larger and larger soap bubble, and the foundation that carries and nurtures these soap bubbles is a pot of soapy water, that is, the chaotic sea in the outside world, and every time the world expands and swells, it may be a transformation of the chaotic sea. The concepts of time, space, matter, and energy are all shattered and mixed together, and the chaos is transformed into a well-defined and orderly world.

After initially raising this speculation, the Consortium believed that they could artificially expand the world, and had fanatically launched extraterrestrial exploration programs at any cost, but their attempts to explore the Chaos Sea by all means failed.

Any order creature goes out

They will be assimilated by the chaotic ocean in an instant, even the spaceship equipped with the order generation field device is no exception: after they open the order field that simulates the world wall and leave this world, they will disappear into the chaotic sea, and any signal sent by the known technology will be dissolved by the chaotic force when they enter the chaotic sea, unable to locate, navigate, or even draw an exploration map!

The end result is that all the exploration ships have lost communication with the Consortium without exception, and their whereabouts are still unknown.

After several setbacks, the outward exploration boom stopped, and since then, the consortium has stopped all plans to explore outward, and there is no way forward for the development of science and technology to the end, and there is no room and resources for society to continue to develop, which makes the consortium issue a series of decrees to strictly control population growth and social development, and since then, everyone understands that they have been trapped in this world.

Feed! Hey Colin! That's big news! How about you give me a reaction! Seeing that Colin hadn't spoken for a long time, his classmates and friends looked a little angry.

Colin's consciousness slowly returned, smiled absentmindedly and nodded in agreement: yes, it may not be long before another batch of newborns can be approved for birth.

Not really! And this time the world has skyrocketed, but there are a lot of new things appearing, it is said that there seems to be a new ore called Tiberium Speaking of which, my classmates and friends suddenly showed an expression of envy, jealousy, and hatred on their faces, damn it! The experts in materials science have something new to work on, so why did I choose to study basic science in the first place?

Thinking of the birth of that completely unknown new ore, but the pain of not being able to participate in it due to his mismatch, his classmates' faces were full of regret and unwillingness.

The emergence of a completely unknown new material often means that the rules of the world have changed slightly under the skyrocket. Colin casually coped, maybe after the experts in materials science studied it, you could also revise the existing scientific theories.

Hey, no matter what, basic science won't change much. My classmate shook his head and sighed, if there is really any big change in the rules of the world when the rules of the world skyrocket, I am afraid that you and I will be wiped out in an instant under the changes in the rules of the world, and there will be no possibility of even exploring the unknown.

This time Colin didn't answer his friend, but looked at the sky intently, he knew that behind the gray storm clouds above his head was an ocean of light overflowing with endless light, but what about after the ocean of light?

Maybe nothing.
