In the spiritual space formed by the virtual link, there is a constant flow of people. Phantoms of censors from various worlds shuttle endlessly in this chaotic space. Many people are reviewing the countless civilization materials from the entire macro world here. Hao Ren is one of them.
The database of the Ark civilization spread out in his mind, and a huge amount of information rushed to his face.
Having experience browsing the Tanagus database, Hao Ren is already familiar with such a super-high-bandwidth virtual connection, and he no longer makes a fuss like the first time he connected. He just keeps focused and slowly browses through the vast amount of information. What best represents a civilization—history, art, law, religion, and social models. When any civilization leaves a "doomsday database", it will carefully classify these things and put them in the easiest part to read, just like plants leave seeds, animals leave offspring, and "preserving their own information" is the key to all living things. instinct.
It is not a pleasant experience to watch a civilization start from ignorance, step by step into space in flames, steel, war and peace, and finally dissipate in the night sky like fireworks. Hao Ren soon After browsing the history section, I began to focus on the logs before the Ark civilization collapsed.
The people who left these logs are obviously aware that their civilization is on the verge of collapse, so they recorded in detail everything that happened in the last days, especially anomalous phenomena-shaking of the ground, changes in the starry sky, climate, magnetic field, sun, etc. Everything is recorded in detail. Like the dying victims in a murder case, they try to leave clues of the murderer around them as much as possible, perhaps so that if everything is really irreparable, someone can help them find out the truth of the "murder". And many of these clues are actually useless, because the civilization level of the race that left the log is limited, their knowledge of the eldest son is still very superficial, and they don't know which clues are the most useful, but Hao Ren still saw that it was very interesting. It is a diary left by a scientist, which is specially reserved for future generations.
"... reorganizing the astronomical records prior to the arrival of the People of the Sky revealed observations of the red supernova 'Eton'. This mysterious object is one of the most puzzling phenomena to our species. It hangs in the emptiest part of the sky position, always maintains the same brightness, and any observation of it cannot determine the distance of this star. Its characteristics do not meet the standards of stars. And the planet should not be so bright... Before the arrival of the people of the sky, 'Eton' An explosion with unknown causes occurred. On that day, it became the brightest star in the night sky, and then completely disappeared in the universe... No technical means can confirm the cause of Eaton's eruption and disappearance... These data may be of great value. They should be preserved... "
"Red Nova..." Hao Ren couldn't help but temporarily exited from the link status, "Sure enough, there is a record of that star here."
The voice of the data terminal sounded in his mind: "Is there any record of finding the red nova when I was in Io before?"
"Io's ancient equipment was destroyed by the tsunami, and Nasatron is just a colony ship. The database on it is incomplete, and there is no information about Red Nova," Hao Ren shook his head. "But I have every reason to believe that those sirens saw the Red Nova back then—whether they saw it erupt is less certain."
"This star seems to be visible from any corner of the dream plane universe. And it is equally bright no matter where you look at it." The voice of the data terminal was serious. "This is no longer in accordance with the rules of optics. When the fourth observation point is found, it is impossible to confirm the position of the red nova—it does not conform to the observation law, so the distance cannot be determined, and it can be located at any point in the universe.”
Hao Ren thought about this too, but he had no other choice: "Let's try after we find the fourth observation point. It's okay if we can't find it. Anyway, what happened to the Goddess of Creation must be related to the explosion of this star... Maybe it will explode along with it."
Hao Ren put these things aside temporarily, and continued to browse through the database with a sinking heart. This time, he began to concentrate on finding information about the people of the starry sky, and there were a lot of such information in the database.
In the description of the aborigines of the ark, the people of the starry sky not only have wonderful life forms, but also have special ways of thinking and communication channels. This kind of telepathy requires special talents, and the natives of the Ark do not seem to be very good at this, so it is very difficult for them to understand some of the too difficult words mentioned by the people of the starry sky.
Some scribes who are responsible for talking to the people of the starry sky are called "spiritual whisperers", and the content of every communication they have with the people of the starry sky is recorded in the database. And a spiritual talker named "Freeman" seems to be a leader in telepathy. The conversation records he left are the most and clearest. Hao Ren found these records. They are something like a conversation record book:
[Freeman: "... so how did you come here across such a long distance?"
People of the Stars: "(A string of complicated thoughts, which may be some kind of technical explanation, but I can't understand)... Everything in the universe is interconnected like this, and we use this connection to jump, just like data in your computer system transfer, and more quickly."
Freeman: "... sorry I can't understand these things, but I will record them as they are. Does the kind of 'natural disaster' you mentioned happen everywhere in the universe? Is it a common phenomenon? "
People of the Stars: "(There seems to be a more obvious mood swing) It should not have happened, but a shameful (unrecognizable thought) caused this disaster. Now it has spread throughout the universe, and even we cannot To predict how far it will develop, we can only minimize its harm."
Freeman: "Is it a man-made disaster?"
People of the Stars: "(Mood swings) artificially caused, the roots of this universe have been touched, severely damaged by a group of unreasonable creatures... (incomprehensible thoughts) However, it cannot be explained to you, you cannot understand."
Freeman: "What is the source of the universe?"
People of the Stars: "Ninety percent of the life in this universe comes from him (a completely incomprehensible thought)... I can't explain it to you, we are deeply influenced by this root, which makes us unable to describe him to ordinary races The form of existence. In your cognition, he should be similar to a god."
This was followed by some messy conversation records, and finally Freeman asked: "Is the root of the disaster because someone attacked the 'god'?"
Star People: "They killed him."]
Hao Ren completely withdrew from the database with a look of astonishment.
"Someone killed the Goddess of Creation?" Hao Ren felt unbelievable, "And it seems that a group of mortals did it?!"
"That's what the people of the starry sky said," the voice of the data terminal also had obvious fluctuations, "this machine doesn't think they will make up these things out of thin air."
"The information... is unexpected." Hao Ren was stunned for a long time before finally accepting the fact. He never thought that such an astonishing truth was hidden in the Ark database—whether it was the truth or not, at least it was an astonishing clue. At this moment, he suddenly I remembered Galazore's warning: don't ignore the little clues around you, because maybe shit luck will play a big game for you at some point!
However, the records in the database stop here. The communication between the spirit whisperers and the people of the starry sky was not smooth, and when the end of the world was approaching, they did not pay too much attention to the origin of the universe and the field of religion. The ground is asking for technical details about the Ark. Hao Ren went through the talkbooks many times, but he didn't find a record describing the incident of "mortals killing gods" in detail. Either no one asked, or the people in the starry sky tried to answer, but no spiritual whisperer could understand it. .
"What a fucking language barrier..." Hao Ren felt a pain in the ass, "Why don't the people of the starry sky study and study interstellar foreign languages..."
"It seems that only by finding them can we find out the truth." The data terminal also regretted, "This machine always feels that there is something shady about this matter..."
Hao Ren sighed: "Nonsense, even the gods have died, how can the shady scene be small?"
After searching for information many times but still failed, Hao Ren withdrew from the virtual link, then compiled a report of the connection and handed it to Raven 12345.
Raven 12345 attaches great importance to this information, but there will be no new instructions in the short term. The next thing... Hao Ren still needs to investigate slowly by himself. (to be continued~^~)
