Although Tomoko's words are cold and realistic, no matter what they are, the truth behind them has always been the same.

Oh, yes!

What will happen to the future of the universe, is it a matter of concern to human beings with a short lifespan of a hundred years?

Even today, if humans do not rely on hibernation technology, they can only last for a few hundred years at most.

A few hundred hours is just a fleeting moment on the large scale of the entire universe.

"Cheng Xin, that's not our responsibility, at least we can't reach that height now."

Seeing that Cheng Xin seemed to have his own ideas again, and what kind of snacky operation was going to be played, Liang Bing had no choice but to stand up and echo Zhizidao.

You are just Cheng Xin, the universe is not dead, do you have a half-dime relationship with you?

Mother, I used to be the king of demons, known to be one of the top existences in the universe, and that kind of height still can't reach the life and death of the universe, why are you?

At this moment, not only Zhizi felt that Cheng Xin was not pressing, but even Liang Bing felt the same.

"But we're part of the universe too?"

Cheng Xin wanted to continue to say this, but after all, he still didn't say this sentence, just thought silently in his heart; If the day really comes when you need to return the mass of the small universe, are you willing to return it?

She didn't know, at least not for now, she didn't dare to guarantee what would happen later.

But emotionally, she felt that she was willing to return it.

Subsequently, seeing that several people unanimously wanted to leave Blue Star and enter the small universe of No. 647, Zhizi didn't say anything more.

She only has the right to suggest a few people, but she has no right to restrict the decisions of a few people.

"Are you ready?"

Tomoko began to say again, "Ready, I can send you into the small universe of 647 at any time. ”

The entry of a few people into the small universe of No. 647 can only be assisted by her, otherwise it will take hundreds of years for a few people to understand the small universe and be familiar with the application of the small universe with the current scientific level of several people.

Hearing this, Cheng Xin, Liang Bing, and Guan Yifan each glanced at each other, and they could all see a sense of determination in each other's eyes.

"Get ready, leave Bluestar now."

The three of them said in unison.

Then, they couldn't understand how it was operating, they just felt that their eyes were dark, and then they appeared in the countryside.

"This is the 647 universe?"

"How do you still feel like you're on the Blue Star?"

"Yes, familiar houses, familiar wheat fields, all exactly the same as on the blue star!"

Seeing everything that was not strange in front of them, the three of them were puzzled and sighed respectively.

"Welcome to Universe 647, where I am the administrator."

It was Tomoko's voice, and she also followed into the small universe No. 647, appeared in front of the three of them and said.

"Cosmos Manager?" Guan Yifan looked at Tomoko in surprise and said, "It's a great name, especially for someone like me who studies cosmology, it sounds like ......"

"Hehe, no......" Tomoko smiled and waved his hand: "You are the real master of No. 647, you have the absolute right to decide everything here, I am just serving you." ”

Tomoko made an inviting gesture, and the three of them followed her down the ridge until they entered an elegant living room in a white room.

The living room is decorated in Chinese style, with several elegant calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.

After taking a seat next to an antique wooden bookcase, Tomoko pours tea for them, this time without the cumbersome procedures of the tea ceremony.

Those tea leaves are like dragon wells, one by one at the bottom of the cup, forming a green grove, exuding a burst of fragrance.

All this is like a dream in the eyes of the three of them, and Tomoko is simply becoming more and more human, and even knows how to enjoy a "human" life better than some humans.

Zhizi handed the poured tea to the three of them and continued, "This universe is a giveaway, which was given to the three by Mr. Yun Tianming. ”

"I guess it was given to Cheng Xin."

Guan Yifan said.

Liang Bing also nodded, she knew best about the love-hate entanglement between Cheng Xin and Yun Tianming.

"No, the recipient must also include the two of you, and the later identification system has the permission of you and Ms. Liang Bing, otherwise you and Ms. Liang Bing would not have been able to enter."

Tomoko explained, "Mr. Yun Tianming hopes that you will avoid the end of our big universe in this small universe, which is the big collapse, and enter the new big universe after the new big bang. ”

"He wants you to see the idyllic age of the new universe."

"Now, we are in a separate timeline, and the time of the great universe is passing by at a rapid pace, and you will surely be able to wait until its end in your lifetime."

"According to more specific estimates, the collapse of the universe will reach a singularity state within a decade."

"How can we know if a new creation explosion happens?"

Guan Yifan asked.

"What we can know, we can detect the state of the universe through the superfilm."

Zhizi's words reminded Cheng Xin of the words that Yun Tianming carved on the rock, but Guan Yifan thought of it more, and he noticed a word mentioned by Zhizi: pastoral era.

The term used to describe the peaceful age of the universe is the term for galactic humans.

There are two possibilities here, one is a coincidence, and the three-body world also happened to choose this word.

The second possibility is very terrifying, the three-body world has detected the existence of other human beings in the galaxy, and it can be seen from Yun Tianming's quick rush to the blue star that the world of the first fleet of the three-body problem is very close to several worlds of human beings in the galaxy.

Now, the Three-Body Civilization has developed to the point where it is able to establish a small universe, which is a huge threat to the rest of the human world in the galaxy.

But he immediately burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

Cheng Xin and Liang Bing couldn't help but look at him strangely.

"Laugh at me."

It's really ridiculous, even before entering the small universe, it is very likely that the worlds of several people in the galaxy are also shrouded in the black domain.

Even if there are a few people who are not shrouded in the black domain, then they in the great universe do not know how many billions of years have passed.

He's worried about a bunch of people who don't know they exist.

"Universe 647 is a custom-made product, I'll be here when I'm done, well, I'm essentially just a data body, and I can copy many copies of ......"

Tomoko continued.

In other words, the current she is not the one on the Blue Star, and she has not followed up on the Blue Star at all.

"Then let's start discussing, do we still need to return to the big universe now?"

After Zhizi's introduction, Guan Yifan looked at Cheng Xin and Liang Bingdao again.

According to what Tomoko just said, the collapse of the large universe will reach a singularity state within ten years of the small universe of 647.

In that case, what can they do when they go back?

Or honestly listen to Tomoko's advice and stay in the small universe of 647 and wait for the results.

"To be honest, I'm interested." Guan Yifan continued: "I would love to see what the new universe looks like, especially when it has not been tampered with and distorted by life and civilization, it must embody the highest harmony and beauty. ”

"I also want to go to the new universe, the singularity and the Big Bang will erase all the memories of this universe, and I want to bring some of the memories of mankind to the new universe."

Cheng Xin also followed.

Only Liang Bing didn't speak, she didn't want to look at this, because he had already seen it, strictly speaking, it was still from the New Universe.

She just wants to go back now......

Of the three, two have already expressed their intention to stay in the small universe of 647.

Tomoko stood up and said, "Then, your new life in Universe 647 has begun, let's go out and have a look." ”

When they went out again, they saw a scene of spring ploughing, where the robots were working in the fields, and some were sowing seeds in the leveled fields.

However, their way of doing farm work is very primitive, there is no wide rake that can be pulled, but a small rake in their hands to level the ground little by little; There is also no seeder, and the robot carries a bag of seeds in one hand and buries the seeds in the ground with the other.

The whole scene has a quaint color, and here, the robot is even closer to nature than the farmer.

"It's not as good as Blue Star here, the stored grain is only enough for you to eat for two years, and you will have to live by farming in the future."

Tomoko pointed to the field and continued.

That's why she doesn't advise a few people to enter so quickly.

Because, after hundreds of years of operation on the Blue Star, no one in the small universe of No. 647 has lived in it for a long time before this.

Don't ask why you didn't bring in all the food from the Blue Star.

Tomoko said; I want to eat my own seeds.

…………

Soon, a year in Universe 647 passed.

The wheat in the field was harvested for two seasons, and the three of them watched twice as the green wheat seedlings slowly turned into golden wheat waves, and the vegetable field next to them was also full of green.

This small manor has a complete set of daily necessities, all of which are untrademarked, and are obviously made in the three-body world, but they are exactly the same as human products in appearance, without any exotic features.

But they spend more time in front of the computer.

A terminal window can be activated anywhere in the small universe, but they don't know where the computer host in this world is.

There are a large number of text and image materials of human beings on the earth in the computer, most of which are before the broadcasting era, and are obviously the information of the human world collected by the three-body world, covering all fields of science and humanities.

But more information is in three-body script, and the amount is huge and vast, which is also the part they are most interested in.

There was no software on the computer to translate the three-body script into human characters, so they began to learn the three-body script, and Tomoko became their teacher.

But they soon found this extremely difficult, because the three-body script is an ideogram, unlike human phonetic scripts, which have nothing to do with language and directly express meaning.

Human beings also appeared ideograms in ancient times, for example, some hieroglyphs were ideographic, but then disappeared, and human reading habits completely became phonetic habits.

However, they found that this difficulty only existed at the beginning, and the later it went, the easier it became.

After two difficult months, their progress gradually picked up.

The greatest advantage of ideograms over phonetic scripts is the speed of reading, which is at least ten times faster to read than phonetic scripts.

The three of them stumbled through the literature of the Three-Body Language, and their original purpose was twofold, one was to understand how the Three-Body World recorded the history of their civilization with the earth, and the other was to know how this small universe was built.

For the latter, although they all know that it is impossible to really understand it in a short period of time from a professional point of view, they should at least know what is going on from a scientific point of view.

Tomoko said that to achieve these two goals, they will need another year to further master the three-body script, and another year to read.

The fundamentals of building the universe were truly unimaginable, and even some of the lower mysteries they couldn't figure out for a long time.

For example, how is the ecological cycle established in a cubic kilometer of space?

What is the Sun?

Where does its energy come from?

Regarding this, even Zhang Heng, who has rebuilt the small universe in the known universe of the super god, is too lazy to make another sun in his small universe, so you can imagine how difficult it is!

However, the most puzzling thing is; As a completely closed system, where does the heat in the small universe go?

Now, of course, what they are most concerned about is; Can a small universe communicate with a large universe?

Tomoko tells them that it is impossible for the small universe to transmit information to the large universe, but it is possible to receive information broadcasts from the large universe.

"All the universe is a cavitation on a supermembrane, which involves the most basic theoretical picture of three-body physics and cosmology, and she can't further explain that the universe has enough energy to propagate information on the supermembrane," she said. “

"But it's difficult, it requires unimaginably large amounts of energy, and if the big universe does that, it may need to turn the mass equivalent of a galaxy into pure energy."

"In fact, the monitoring system in Universe 647 often receives information from other large universes on the supermembrane, some of which are naturally generated, and some of which are indecipherable intelligent information, but they have never received information from the large universe they came from."

Time passed day by day, like the water in that creek, calm and smooth.

Cheng Xin began writing memoirs, chronicling the history she knew.

Sometimes, they also envision life in a new universe.

Tomoko tells them that, according to cosmological theory, the new universe must be macroscopically higher than the fourth dimension, and most likely even higher than the tenth dimension. When a new universe is born, Universe 647 is able to automatically establish exits and detect its surroundings.

If the new universe is higher than the fourth dimension, the exit of the small universe can move across space until a suitable living environment is found.

At the same time, it can also be connected with the immigrants of other small universes of the Three-Body World, and of course, it may also be connected with the immigrants of the humans in the galaxy.

In the new universe, the immigrants of the old universe belong to almost the same race, and they should be able to build a world together.

Tomoko especially emphasizes that in the high-dimensional universe, there is a factor that greatly increases the odds of survival.

Among the many dimensions, there may be more than one dimension that belongs to time.

"Multidimensional time?"

Several people couldn't understand what this concept meant.

"Even if time is only two-dimensional, it will be flat rather than straight, and there will be an infinite number of directions, which means that we can make an infinite number of choices at the same time."

Guan Yifan explained.

"There's always one of those choices that is right."

Tomoko said.

……

A few more years passed, until one day, Tomoko suddenly found a few people and said, "We have received the superfilm broadcast of the Great Universe!" ”

Then she pulled up a terminal window and placed it very large, dimming the sun's brightness so they could see what's inside the door.

Countless lines of symbols scrolled rapidly through the window, displayed by dot matrix graphics sent by the superfilm broadcast, which were oddly shaped and unrecognizable. Cheng Xin and Guan Yifan also noticed that the symbols were not of the same type, and they rolled by, like a rippling river.
