The stars were roaring, roaring as if they could shake the foundations of all things, and the truth shone in the light of the stars, filling the field of vision, scorching and shining on the soul, and Ray Nora seemed to feel her mind melting in the face of this roaring truth—

She was becoming a part of the truth, she was comprehending the words of the "thousand-faced starlight" in front of her, understanding some knowledge that she would never have been able to access in the first place, she suddenly understood the logic of how things worked, and the lilac starlight was dancing at the end of her vision, breathtakingly magnificent.

She slowly raised her head, looked at the billions of eyes twinkling among the stars, and whispered as if talking to herself: "I understand...... Those are the ashes that have cooled down after the impact of the world...... But the ashes are not 'dead', the ashes just need to be re-assigned and mapped......"

Strange words came out of her mouth, and there was a faint trace of doubt in Rei Nora's heart, but these doubts were fleeting, and she naturally understood what she had said, and then she saw the starlight in front of her glint of approval.

Zhou Ming glanced at Rei Nora with some surprise, he didn't expect this frost queen to understand what she said so accurately, but he didn't have the extra energy to think about it now—his attention was completely focused on the "ashes" that Rei Nora found "outside the world".

Pilot-2's theory of "everything is information" is correct, and the "world" can be regarded as a "mathematical machine" containing the data and calculation rules of all things, and a huge information storage and computing system, so the essence of the great annihilation can be regarded as the conflict and serious bugs caused by the forced merger of several incompatible "systems......

The collision of mathematical machines has caused the "information" that was originally operating in an orderly manner in their respective worlds to fall into chaos, and a large number of parameters that could have been "called" normally have now become unrecognizable, and the mathematical machines themselves have lost the foundation for stable operation......

The "shelter" built by the ancient kings is like a sandbox environment that barely keeps the system running after it has fallen into chaos, and this sandbox forcibly retains a part of the mapping of "information", but in essence, the entire sandbox is still a part of the "system collapse......

Information does not disappear out of thin air, at least in the face of disasters such as annihilation, the "information units" that make up the world have not really disappeared, and from the perspective of "mathematical machines", those information units have only lost their connection with the "laws of the world" (operating system), just like ......

Zhou Ming stopped suddenly, he raised his head in thought, and looked at the computer in the deepest part of the room - the computer was still running, the cursor on the screen flashed like life, and under his gaze, the cursor suddenly moved on its own, and a line of text appeared:

"The data is corrupted, the formatting is not complete - the world."

Zhou Ming blinked, and the words on the computer screen disappeared like an illusion.

But he has understood - he understands correctly.

He exhaled softly, silently sorting out the storm-like thoughts in his head, but he couldn't help frowning as his thoughts gradually became clearer.

He always felt as if something was missing from his understanding...... He was a little unsure about the fact that "information will not disappear".

Is it true that information isn't going away? On a "world" scale, this seems to hold, but outside the world...... What is it like? In that vast and nihilistic "void" that his creator civilization had briefly spied on, what kind ......of laws of all things existed?

Thinking hard and thinking has no result, and the mind that has never jumped out of the world will never be able to imagine the truth outside the world, Zhou Ming frowned and shook his head slowly, but at the same time, he also remembered the conversation he had with the Pilot No. 2 not long ago.

He thought of the fear and paranoia of the ancient artificial intelligence, and of the eternal worries and visions of Pilot-2 - to be out of the world.

It is necessary to leave a "possibility" for the civilization of the future that can transcend the world.

Zhou Ming's frowning brows slowly relaxed, and after the turbulent thoughts in his heart gradually calmed down, a smile appeared on his face.

What he can't figure out today, someday in the distant future, someone will always be able to figure it out.

Rei Nora looked at the ancient being in front of her with some nervousness, and she finally felt the other party's stormy thought process calm down again, and then she mustered up the courage to speak cautiously: "Do you have any plans for the future?" ”

Zhou Ming was silent for a moment, raised his right hand, and silently looked at his palm.

Starlight leaped in his fingertips, diffused in his palm, and a vague cloud of "ashes" briefly reappeared in his palm, changing into various forms, and then vanished like a phantom.

"The most important 'raw material' problem has been solved, but the situation of the raw materials is not what I expected," he said as he thought about it, "These are the 'cooling embers', they have been completely disconnected from the world's 'underlying systems' and have stopped evolving themselves, unlike the four gods and the Infinite Sea...... I can't reshape the ashes through a gentle 'recompilation', as you have just seen, even if the ashes are reshaped, as soon as my 'maintenance' is gone, it will disappear with it, and these 'cooling embers' are clearly lacking in self-sustainability......

"Maybe an 'atomic explosion point'? These 'raw materials' must first be reconstructed in bulk and given the ...... of 'first impulse'"

When he said this, he didn't care whether the "Frost Queen" in front of him could understand it or not - anyway, Her Majesty seemed to be able to understand a lot of things somehow, and he thought she was "highly perceptive".

Ray Nora got used to it, too, and she passed a SAN check with ease and came to her senses.

"Do you need to detonate the entire Infinite Sea?" Her eyes widened in surprise, "Isn't this going to ......?"

I realized, but I didn't realize it.

"No, no, no, what I'm talking about by the 'atomic bomb site' is not really about blowing up something concrete, it's about ...... Conceptual 'information explosion'," Zhou Ming hurriedly waved his hand to correct the other party's understanding, and then added in thought, "It may also be accompanied by the release of huge energy, but this has nothing to do with detonating the Boundless Sea......"

Although in this process, the boundless sea is definitely gone-Zhou Ming didn't say this sentence.

Ray Nora was still curious, but this time she didn't follow the question of "whether to detonate the Infinite Sea", but changed the subject after a short thought: "Do you know where the 'atomic bomb point' is?" ”

“…… There are some vague thoughts," Zhou Ming touched his chin and said cautiously, then waved his hand, "But you don't have to think about that now, my current focus is still on those 'ashes' outside the border." ”

Ray Nora's expression suddenly became serious.

"The Lost Country is sailing at the end of the world," Zhou Ming groaned for a while, and slowly spoke, "After this voyage is over, I will personally go to confirm the situation beyond the borders, and I will have to see with my own eyes those 'ashes' you mentioned." ”

Ray Nora reacted immediately: "Do you need me to do anything?" ”

"My body can't leave this place...... Not for the time being," Zhou Ming looked at the other party very seriously, "so when the time comes, I need to guide the Lost Country to that piece of ashes." ”

Ray Nora was stunned when she heard this, and looked a little dazed: "I...... What should I do? ”

"Theoretically, you don't need to be involved in this process - it's your 'hut' that really works," Zhou Ming said, pointing up to the window, "Park your 'hut' at the edge of the fog, Alice should be able to find it." ”

"My house?" Ray Nora was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, "You mean it...... What is the connection between it and the 'Alice Mansion'? ”

Zhou Ming nodded lightly.

The "room" that Ray Nora took away from Alice's Mansion is actually the escape pod of the New Hope, and since it is an escape pod, it must have similar functions of positioning and emergency call, he has seen the message of "illegal release of the escape pod" in the depths of Alice's Mansion, and theoretically, Alice's Mansion (New Hope), as the mother ship, should have a way to relocate to the position of the escape pod.

As long as the mothership can locate the escape pod, then Alice (Pilot III), who is at the helm of the Lost Land, should be able to find the true location of Ray Nora at the border.

This is the best way that Zhou Ming can think of to reach the "out-of-bounds" - after all, at the end of this world where order is broken and time and space are chaotic, there must be similar positioning and navigation methods to reach the destination, and the Lost Country is no exception.

Of course, it is also necessary to take into account the possibility that the positioning function of the "escape pod" is damaged, the positioning of the "Alice Mansion" as the mother ship fails, or the connection between the two is distorted and interfered with by the special environment of the border - it is necessary to leave some backup means before Ray Nora leaves.

Under Ray Nora's curious gaze, Zhou Ming raised his right hand, and a dark green flame soaked in starlight was burning quietly in his hand.

"Take this, this is a more powerful flame than the fire I left on you before," Zhou Ming said, "If Alice can't find that 'hut' by then, I'll try to build a passage with flames - but this is only an alternative, the power of the flames is limited, if you can, it's better to get the Lost to that place." ”

Looking at the quietly dancing flames in front of her, Ray Nora clearly hesitated.

The fire was so bright, soaked with starlight, that it was almost dazzling in this dim and chaotic space, and she could feel the tremendous power that filled the flames, and that power even made her a little afraid.

She had never had such a fear when she decided to dive into the Frosty Deep.

But after a brief hesitation, Her Majesty nodded slightly.

She held out her hand to the flames, "I'll take it with me—beyond the borders, I'll be waiting for you and your Lost Country." ”
