"This ......"

Faced with this question, Lawrence suddenly felt that he didn't know how to answer for a while.

How do you answer yourself?

No one had ever asked him such a question before, even if the person who asked it now was an alien who suddenly landed here in an interstellar spaceship that could crush a city to ruins, and at this moment he suddenly felt as if a lot of words appeared in his head, but he didn't know where to start.

「…… Because, the energy crisis?"

Long.

He looked uncertain, rubbing his chin with one hand and revealing what he thought was a possibility.

The question of why the leaders of those countries in the era of civilization would order the people of their countries to abandon their own countries and choose to launch nuclear missiles against each other is still a question that many people are willing to discuss when they are just entering the apocalyptic environment.

In fact, if you go to any random person on the street and ask you seven or eight different answers, when all the countries on a planet decide to start a nuclear war to destroy the world, there are often not one or two constant reasons for this, and it will not be very complicated.

And Lawrence, who has led the development of the city to this point.

He felt that in his own experience, if he could give a reasonable reason for this crazy behavior, the energy crisis was a very correct choice.

But he looked at the white leaves in front of him, and the confusion in his eyes did not decrease but increased, he didn't know what the other party was trying to do by asking this kind of question, and he couldn't understand why the alien in front of him came here from the depths of the starry sky to ask himself such a thought question that was not answered correctly.

Could it be that she just wanted to see how the remnants of a post-apocalyptic civilization would look at the past?

"Energy crisis?"

When Bai Ye heard this answer, he raised his eyebrows, and suddenly asked, "Are you sure of this answer?"

"Maybe the leaders were pumping their brains back then, after all, I don't think people in their right mind would give orders to launch nuclear missiles over the heads of people in other countries, and as a result, those who gave the orders either died when the war started or ran away in spaceships, and we ordinary people had to stay here and pay for their orders."

"Dear alien visitor, I don't really understand, what do you want from me or from us?"

Lawrence waved his hand directly, and his words did not hide his disgust for the Torch Project and the hatred of those in power in the past, and he also instinctively felt a little unhappy with the alien's problems and attitudes in front of him.

We are on the verge of destruction, and as a result, you, an outsider, come and ask such questions with such an attitude, what does it mean?

"Relax, I have no ill intentions, and I don't intend to offend you, but the answer to this question is very important to me."

Bai Ye also knows what the other party's mentality is, it is obvious that the man in front of him also knows that his civilization is about to be destroyed, and it is impossible to restart civilization, which is like someone is about to die, but you run up and ask you why you are about to die.

If it weren't for the exceptional circumstances, this behavior would be really impolite.

Saying that, Bai Ye didn't give the other party a chance to respond, and added again: "I have learned about the situation of your civilization after the contact with the Torch, according to the information given to me by the Master of the Torch, your civilization has completed the development and promotion of controllable nuclear fusion technology before it is destroyed, and the raw materials used for nuclear fusion reactions are also very rich in reserves in the planet, in other words, with the social size of your planet's civilization era, it is impossible for an energy crisis to occur."

"Not an energy crisis? All I can say is that our former leaders have lost their brains."

Lawrence glanced at the huge alien ship outside the window, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, saying that he couldn't give a reasonable answer.

「……」

Bai Ye looked at Lawrence's attitude, and also put on a thoughtful look, and the room was big at this time

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps at the door.

"Lord Lawrence!"

The eyes followed the prestige, and the door was suddenly opened.

With the sound of chaotic footsteps, a young man with a large group of soldiers wearing fairly acceptable combat armor could be seen rushing in from outside the gate, and the automatic weapons in their hands were obviously full of the smell of handicraft workshops and sewing and mending, but they all looked at Bai Ye with wary eyes the moment they entered.

After she had been here for more than a minute, the guards inside the building had finally figured out what was going on outside.

"What are you going to do? Get out now!"

Lawrence saw that the other party actually broke in with a soldier, and before Bai Ye could react, he suddenly opened his mouth and shouted angrily, and at the same time raised his arm and waved at it.

"This ......"

The other party glanced at Lawrence, and then at Bai Ye, who was staring at him and the others with an expressionless face.

"Get out! Seal this place, no one is allowed to enter without my orders!"

Seeing that the other party didn't make any movement for the first time, Lawrence's tone became a little heavier again, staring at the other party angrily, and the latter finally reacted, and hurriedly left here with the soldiers who had just come in a few seconds.

After a sound of footsteps, the door closed again, and the two of them returned to the large room.

"I'm sorry, my people are overreacting."

Seeing the other person leave, Lawrence turned his head again, with a "I hope you understand" attitude.

The other party's behavior just now really scared him, and he didn't know what he thought in his head, and he rushed in with armed soldiers, and he was afraid that something big would happen if this one didn't do well.

The other side's starship is now parked above the heads of you and the others, do you think those broken guns in the hands of those people you brought are of any use to the current situation?

"It's okay, understandable."

Bai Ye raised his hand to signal that the other party didn't need to be nervous about anything, they could understand each other.

And being disturbed by this little episode just now, it also made the atmosphere between the two lively, Lawrence immediately invited Bai Ye to sit down, and continued to talk about the question just now.

"Okay, then I'll ask from a different angle."

"Do you know anything you heard about anything particularly big or very wrong in the Age of Civilization before the Doomsday War began? Any kind of news is fine, such as a major technological breakthrough, or an abnormal political change, etc."

Bai Ye glanced at the water cup handed over by the other party and asked again.

"A particularly significant event? Miss Shiraba, I was actually very young in the era of civilization."

Lawrence picked at the corner of his eye, took a sip of water to himself, and added after putting down the glass: "...... But there is one thing that I feel may fit the scope of your request, because there is a lot of noise, and the news and networks around the world are reporting it, and I naturally have some images of this matter."

"What's the matter?"

Bai Ye's heart moved, wondering if good luck was coming again?

But compared to Bai Ye, Lawrence showed a look of hard thinking, after all, he was still very young at that time, and it was before the war, and after a long time, he slowly said with a positive attitude: "If I remember correctly, it should be called: vacuum decay."

"Vacuum decay?"

Bai Ye heard this term for the first time, and it was very unfamiliar to her.

[Vacuum state decay, a technical product related to the theory of unification, involves the concept of quantum vacuum...... Building a Hilbert Space to Invert Derivation...... Captain, I'm 100% sure that this is what you're looking for, it's not a technology that a planetary civilization can master. 】

"What? Are you sure?"

Bai Ye didn't expect that the shipborne AI would suddenly insert into the conversation, and even more affirmed, just relying on a noun without grasping more clues, in the consciousness communication.

grand unification theory,

Quantum vacuum?

These terms have been heard of by Bai Ye in his previous life, but he has only heard of them, but now he didn't expect to hear them again here, and the shipborne AI will have such a big reaction, what kind of technology is this?

"Very advanced technology?"

[Advanced or not depends on who the object of comparison is, for empires or supreme civilizations, no, even for multiverse-level civilizations, this is primitive to the point that it cannot be in the primitive low-level technology, but for the people of these primitive civilizations......]

Speaking of this, the shipborne AI paused slightly, and continued: [This is an opportunity, a chance to become a god. 】

"What the hell is this technology for?"

【……】

【…… Literal infinite energy or, in the universe where the Big Bang was founded, a bomb that could destroy the universe within the influence of that universe seed. 】
