"The broadcast has been going on for five minutes and it's still going on!"

Tomoko pointed to the window and continued: "Actually, the broadcast message is very short, and it lasts so long because of the use of different languages, and now tens of thousands of languages have appeared......"

"Oh, now it's 100,000!"

"Is this a broadcast to all the small universes?"

Cheng Xin asked.

"Surely, to whom? The use of such a large amount of energy should be important information. ”

Guan Yifan replied for Zhizi.

"Is there a three-body problem and an earth language?"

Liang Bing also asked.

"Nope."

Tomoko replied.

At this moment, several people also instantly understood that this was the book of life and death of a cosmic civilization.

Now, tens of billions of years may have passed in the universe, regardless of the content of the broadcast message, if the language of a civilization could be listed in the broadcast message.

Well, there are only two possibilities, one is that this civilization still exists; Or, this civilization has existed and survived for quite some time, and its culture has left a permanent mark on the universe.

The second is that this civilization has been considered to no longer exist, so the language of this civilization does not appear in the broadcast content.

The river of symbols flows through the information window, and it has been broadcast in 200,000 languages, 300,000, 400,000...... The number is increasing until a million languages.

The trisolar language and the earth language still do not appear.

However, when the variety of languages broadcast had increased to about 1.3 million, Tomoko suddenly shouted: "Three-body problem! ”

And pointed to the display window, and there was a three-body text in the window that flashed, and it was impossible for several people to see it clearly, but Zhizi could see it clearly.

After a few seconds, Tomoko shouted again, "Earth! ”

When the number of languages in which the message is broadcast reaches 1.57 million, the broadcast ends and the scrolling display in the message window disappears.

Only two messages are still displayed, one written in the Trisomy and the other in the Earth language.

At this moment, Liang Bing didn't have any special mental activities, after all, she didn't belong here.

Although neither Cheng Xin nor Guan Yifan could read the content of the message, tears still blurred their eyes.

On the last judgment day of this universe, both the earth and the three-body civilization still exist.

Regardless of whether a few of them can go to the end or not, the two civilizations of the earth and the three-body problem seem to be able to ......

They know that the evolution of language and writing is very fast, and if two civilizations have existed for a considerable period of time, or even still exist now, their words will definitely be completely different from what is displayed now, but to be understood by people in the small universe, they can only be displayed in ancient characters.

Compared to the total number of civilizations that have ever lived in the universe, 1.57 million is a fairly small number.

In the long night of Orion's spiral arm in the galaxy, two meteors of civilization streaked by, and the universe remembered their light.

When everyone calmed down, Tomoko helped them read the message carefully, and the content was the same in both languages, very brief:

"The Regression Movement declares: the total mass of our universe will be reduced below a critical value, the universe will change from closed to open, the universe will die in eternal expansion, and all life and memory will die.

Please return the mass you took and send only the memories to the new universe. ”

Several people looked away from the Regression Movement statement and looked at each other.

They all seem to see from each other's eyes, the dark prospect of the universe.

In perpetual expansion, all galaxies will move away from each other and retreat into their respective sights.

At that point, from any point in the universe, there will be darkness in all directions.

The stars will be extinguished one after another, the solid matter will disintegrate into thin nebulae, the cold and darkness will rule all, the universe will become an empty tomb, all civilizations and all memories will be buried forever in this boundless tomb, and everything will die forever.

In order to avoid this future, the only way to avoid this future is to return the matter in the large number of small universes created by different civilizations to the large universe.

But if this is done, the small universe will not be able to survive, and the people in the small universe will only have to return to the big universe, which is the return movement.

"How many civilizations will be willing to return it on their own initiative?"

Several were concerned about the success rate of the return movement.

After all, before they fell into the Black Domain and entered the small universe, the environment of the large universe was already very bad.

Under such a large-scale cosmic environment, every space voyage can still get out of the difficult sense of immediacy, encounter the area that has been reduced at every turn, and fall into the black domain at every turn......

Now, tens of billions of years may have passed in the universe, but what will become of it?

Is it really as Tomoko guessed, the moment a few people step out of the small universe of 647, they will instantly die in the sinister environment of the big universe?

A few people didn't dare to imagine it, and they couldn't imagine it at all.

"So, what did you decide?"

After giving a few people enough time to think, Tomoko spoke again.

The ownership of the small universe No. 647 does not belong to her, but belongs to Cheng Xin, Guan Yifan, and Liang Bing.

Whether or not to return the mass of the 647 small universe in response to the regression movement naturally has to be decided by the three of them.

However, this kind of choice seems to be very testing of human nature, and as long as you think about it, you don't feel that it is so difficult to choose.

At this moment, also in a small universe, Zhang Heng of the virtual world of course also received a broadcast, and his decision was to return the mass of the small universe.

His current decision is also the decision of Zhang Heng in the real three-body metaverse of the last zero cycle.

After all, there are two very different options, probably dead and necessarily dead, and it's a good choice.

But he won't be the first to return it.

"Since the outcome cannot be changed, the universe will die in eternal expansion, and we will all die that day."

In the small universe of No. 647, after Zhizi asked, Guan Yifan was the first to say: "It's a lifetime, and it's a lifetime." ”

As he said before, he is studying the large universe with a diameter of 16 billion light years, and he does not want to spend his life on a planet that is only more than 10,000 kilometers, let alone a small universe of only more than 1,000 kilometers.

"I agree."

Cheng Xin quickly followed up and said that what Guan Yifan said was also very much in line with her wishes.

As for Liang Bing, not to mention, she has only one purpose, and that is to return to the known universe.

And this purpose is simply impossible to achieve by relying on the small universe of 647.

Therefore, no matter how dangerous the big universe outside is, she desperately wants to go out and find her way back.

Otherwise, once the return movement officially begins, and the universe is restarted, she can't guarantee what she will become.

The decision of several people was unanimous.

Subsequently, Tomoko immediately used the control system of Universe 647 to manipulate the door of the small universe in the large universe.

According to Zhang Heng, this door is the space anchor.

The door moves rapidly in the large universe, looking for a suitable world for several people to survive.

However, the door of the small universe No. 647 can transmit very limited information through communication with the small universe, and cannot transmit images.

Only the results of the assessment of the environment can be returned, which is a number between minus ten and ten that indicates the survival level of the environment.

Only environments with levels greater than zero can humans survive in them.

The gate made tens of thousands of jump moves in the universe, and the process took three months, and only once did it detect a level 3 environment, and Tomoko had to admit that this was the best result.

"The Level 3 environment is very harsh and dangerous!"

After having the result, Tomoko said to several people.

"We're not afraid, let's go there."

Cheng Xin replied firmly, and Guan Yifan and Liang Bing also nodded to Zhizi.

Then, the door exit also appeared in Universe 647.

This door is also the same as what several people saw on the Blue Star, they also entered through a door when they came in before, it was a rectangle drawn by a glowing straight line, but it was much larger than the one on the Blue Star, probably for the convenience of material transfer.

When the door first appeared, it was not connected to the larger universe, and any matter could pass through it to the other side.

When Tomoko resets the parameters of the gate, the matter that passes through the door disappears, and they will appear in the great universe.

Then, Universe 647 began to return matter to the larger universe.

Obviously, they had some intention of breaking the boat, and they began to return the mass of the 647 small universe so quickly.

This outing, coupled with the quality of return, means that they will never be able to turn back, and even if they want to go back, there will be no second small universe for them to turn back.

"The small universe itself has no mass, and its mass comes from the matter brought from the big universe."

"Among the hundreds of small universes that the Three-Body World has created, No. 647 belongs to the smallest category, and it has taken away about 500,000 tons of matter from the large universe in total, which is equivalent to the carrying capacity of a large oil tanker in your first century AD, which is indeed insignificant on a cosmic scale."

Before returning the quality, Tomoko explained this sentence to several people before it officially began.

Material handling starts with the soil.

The fields have not been sown since the second harvest, and the robots use small carts to carry the damp soil, and when they reach the door, two robots lift the carts to dump the soil into the door – and after passing through the rectangular plane, the soil disappears.

The movement of the soil proceeded quickly, and after three days, there was no longer a grain of soil in the small universe, and the few trees around the house were also sent into the door.

After the soil disappeared, a metallic ground appeared in the small universe.

The floor is made of sheets of polished metal that reflect the sun like a mirror.

The robot removed the metal plates from one side of the ground and pushed them into the door piece by piece.

Beneath the ground that had been lifted on the side of the small world, a small spaceship was revealed.

This spacecraft is only a dozen meters long, but it condenses the most advanced technology in the Trimaran world.

It is ergonomically designed according to the human beings on earth, can seat three crew members, is equipped with two sets of power systems of nuclear fusion and curvature drive, and has a miniature ecological circulation system and hibernation device suitable for human beings.

Perhaps to facilitate passage through the door of the small universe, it has an elongated and streamlined shape.

This spaceship was originally intended to be used by the people of Universe 647 when they enter the new universe, and it can last for a long time before finding a suitable living environment in the new universe.

Now, they will return to the big universe in it.

After the small universe basically returned all the mass, there was only a slender small spaceship and three people floating on the side of the ship in the space of the small universe.

Tomoko is holding a metal box, which is what they want to leave in the small universe, a "drifting bottle" to be sent to the new universe.

Its main body is a microcomputer, and the computer's quantum memory stores all the information of the small universe computer host, which is almost all the memories of the three-body problem and the earth civilization.

When a new universe is born, the metal box receives a signal from the door and then uses its own small thruster to pass through the door and enter the new universe.

It will float in the high-dimensional space of the new universe, waiting for the day when it will be picked up and interpreted.

At the same time, it will use neutrino beams to continuously play out the information it has stored, if there are neutrinos in the new universe.

Cheng Xin, who advocates doing this, also seems to feel that other small universes, those small universes that respond to the call for the return movement, are also doing the same thing.

If a new universe were to be born, there would be many drifting bottles from the old universe.

It is believed that a significant portion of the memories in the Drifting Bottle may have stored information to such an extent that all the memories and consciousness of each individual of that civilization were recorded, as well as all the biological details of each individual, that civilizations in the new universe could reconstruct that civilization based on this information.

"Can you leave another five kilograms?"

At this time, Cheng Xin suddenly asked.

She was on the other side of the spaceship, wearing a spacesuit and holding a glowing transparent sphere in her hand.

The diameter of the sphere is about half a meter, and there are several water balls floating in it, some with a few small fish swimming in it, and some with green algae growing in it; There are also two floating miniature landmasses with tender green grass growing on them.

The light emanates from the top of the sphere, where a small luminous object is mounted, which is the sun of this small world.

This is a fully enclosed ecological sphere, which is the result of more than ten days of work by Cheng Xin and Zhizi, as long as the small sun in the sphere can still shine, this small ecosystem can survive.

As long as it stays here, Universe 647 is not a dark world without life.

"It should be possible, the great universe will not collapse because of these five kilograms."

Without waiting for Zhizi to answer, Guan Yifan said uncertainly.

Of course, he still has an unspoken idea; Perhaps the universe will really turn from closed to open because of the difference in the mass of one atom.

The subtlety of nature is sometimes beyond imagination, such as the birth of life, which requires the precise coordination of various cosmic parameters with an accuracy of one billionth of a billionth.

But Cheng Xin can still keep her ecological ball, because in the countless small universes created by countless civilizations, there must be a considerable number of people who do not respond to the call of the return movement, so the mass of the large universe that will eventually be taken away is at least hundreds of millions of tons, and it may even be hundreds of billions of billions of tons.

If this idea is correct, then it can only be hoped that the universe will ignore this error.

Otherwise, they can't imagine the consequences......

Then, the fusion engine was activated, the thrusters emitted a faint blue light, and the ship slowly passed through the cosmic gate.

In the small universe, only the drifting bottle and the ecological ball are left, and the drifting bottle is hidden in the darkness, and in the universe that is one thousand meters square, only the little sun in the ecological ball emits a little light.
