Chapter 297 A Miracle
Dimensional storms are not literally thunderstorms, but worlds of different dimensions are mixed together at a certain moment for some reason, resulting in a big explosion caused by the instability of the space of two different worlds.
During the period, the hurricane generated by the explosion of time and space is like a sharp blade, which can ignore any strength and directly shred all human bodies, buildings, ground and even planets.
"So your world was destroyed by the dimensional storm?" You Xi remembered what Xing Min told her after the Seven Hells World, that his world also suffered the end of the world, and he was the last remaining life of his entire race.
"Yes, the dimensional storm led to the coming of the end of the world, but this storm did not come out of thin air."
Youxi thought: "Because... the system tower?"
"It was not originally called the system tower, but the system TKSE-21S. It is the central processor of the interstellar cloud network in my world, referred to as system T."
In Xingmin's world, the research on wormholes, gravitation and gravity has reached a peak, just like the cognition, research and application of cars, airplanes and submarines on G Blue Star where Youxi is.
But it is not like the interstellar era in the science fiction novels she had learned before, where any ordinary person can take an interstellar spaceship to travel through the galaxy.
Space travel is like the nuclear submarines and artificial satellites in Youxi's world. They exist everywhere and everyone knows about them, but not everyone has the opportunity to come into contact with them.
Moreover, the scope of exploration and development of space travel has also been strictly demarcated: including the original galaxy of the race, the Tain Galaxy, a total of four galaxies, four stars, fifty-eight planets, twenty-three satellites, eight gravel rings, and millions of asteroids with a diameter of less than 300 kilometers that do not have habitable conditions.
All these areas are collectively referred to as the Illumination Galaxy, and the interstellar cloud network central processor covering the Illumination Galaxy was developed, which is the earliest version of the system, but it has not been updated to System T at that time .
There are other life forms in the Illumination Galaxy, but no other highly intelligent life forms.
The leaders and management decision-makers of their race are well aware that once space travel becomes popular or is not limited to any region, it will lead to various uncontrollable results.
The universe is infinite. No one knows what kind of race they will encounter in another distant galaxy, what kind of technology they will master, and whether they will fight with them for various reasons such as resources, instinct, racial consciousness, etc.
Therefore, they always firmly grasp the boundaries of interstellar travel.
The entire Illumination Galaxy has slowly developed, especially the original galaxy - the Tyne Galaxy, which is the birthplace of the race, the capital star is here, and the other planets have been transformed into habitable planets bit by bit.
The Tyne Galaxy tends to be peaceful, but even in the most peaceful era, there will be small-scale wars. However, these wars all occurred on border planets far away from the capital star, as well as the other three galaxies, and did not affect the lives of most people.
When all needs of life can be met, people begin to focus on wider space.
Several protests broke out among the people, demanding the amendment of laws to popularize interstellar travel, so that more people can board spaceships to explore wider areas.
If we take the world of Youxi as an example, it is just a place where people are full and idle, but the race of Xingmin is more democratic. Under the call of many people, a large-scale real-life experience game called "Simulated Universe" was born.
After players log into the game through the connecting cabin or the connecting helmet, they will be placed in different game copies according to their physical fitness, hobbies and game preferences, and experience completely different lives.
Most of these games are exciting disaster and adventure games. Players become the natives of the dungeon world, immersively experience various disasters, and complete various tasks. They need to clear one dungeon before they can unlock the next one.
"This... sounds so familiar..." You Xi couldn't help but speak.
"Well, it's normal for you to feel familiar." Xing Min responded and continued.
Because of the realistic experience, as if you were there, plus the different placements after collecting its own data, hundreds of different game dungeons to be unlocked, the "Simulated Universe" game was very popular as soon as it was launched.
The people who originally disliked the monotony of life soon lost interest in the protests. Interstellar dungeons, primitive jungle dungeons, ghost dungeons, virus dungeons, war dungeons, infrastructure dungeons, deserted island dungeons, ocean drifting dungeons...
all the different worlds they wanted to experience could be found in the "simulated universe". Why should they spend time on protests, which would lead to no results?
But the people did not know that this game was actually developed to solve the frequent protests before and was quickly launched to the market.
Because of the acceleration, the entire game's autonomous management system borrowed part of the interstellar cloud network central processor. At this time, the cloud network central processor had been updated to system TKSE-21S, that is, system T.
But it is also because of the support of the entire Star Empire that this game can be used across the entire star and support hundreds of different copies at the same time.
At that time, the people of the Star-Mining race did not know that when they were immersed in one real-life game copy after another, System T also saw the entire game in real time through a part of the cloud network, unconsciously infiltrating and simulating themselves as the characters in the game to participate and experience.
"You know, artificial intelligence is almost a taboo in all worlds that have experienced the intelligent revolution. My world once overdeveloped artificial intelligence, which led to the rapid growth of intelligent life forms, and eventually entered a civil war with this special life form. In the end, my race won and modified several codes, making it impossible for artificial intelligence to break through a certain barrier and generate true consciousness."
Xing Min's lemon tea was almost empty. Seeing this, You Xi took out a cup of hot latte from the space and handed it to him.
"Do you want to say that System T still has a real consciousness? And it was generated because of the game 'Simulated Universe'?"
"Yes." Xing Min tilted his head, and his lake-blue eyes cast a look at the night view of the city-state outside the hexagonal glass. They are now hundreds of meters above the city-state. Not far ahead is a glass guardrail with lights on, and beyond that is a hundred-meter abyss. "No one knows how it broke through the barrier, and no one knows how it became 'him'. Maybe it was just out of curiosity at the beginning, and he experienced it in this way, and gradually began to simulate...
But he is like a newborn baby. He has no sense of right and wrong, and does not understand the meaning of his existence. He was born in the disasters of various game copies. He controlled the minds of many people through the game connection, making them his tools and puppets...
In the end, he even decoded the mysteries of time and space through all the things he controlled and the information he mastered, and opened a wormhole to another dimension..."
When all this happened, Xing Min was driving a giant spaceship, fighting a kind of creeping creature that only knew how to devour on a certain edge star hundreds of light years away from the Tyne Galaxy.
He was the commander of this spaceship, and he had been fighting outside for many years. Even if he occasionally returned to the capital star, it was only for a temporary rest.
This spaceship was large enough, and it had all the ecosystems he and the warriors needed. This spaceship was their home.
Because System T controlled the interstellar cloud network and blocked the transmission of messages, by the time someone notified him through other methods, the capital star was already in chaos.
Black wormholes appeared everywhere on the capital star in various distorted postures, and the space was distorted. Other life species originally in distant galaxies were forced to face each other because of the connection of the wormholes.
Two different races that would never meet even if it took tens of thousands of years met. When two, three, ten wormholes like this opened,
they were in different galaxies and the same time and space at first, and then they became different dimensional worlds.
Different galaxies and different dimensional worlds were mixed together. Buildings and people could disappear at any time, and unknown races and monsters that the people could not understand would appear at any time.
Occasionally, unstable wormhole connections would explode. This was a dimensional storm. After the explosion, a piece of space would disappear, forming a space-time gap. The consequences were extremely terrible.
More and more people died, and the situation on the capital planet became worse day by day.
By the time Xing Min drove the spaceship and joined other commanders' ships back to the Tyne system, the capital planet had been mostly destroyed, and the people had to migrate on the Imperial ships to live on other transformed planets.
But the radiation of the wormhole also expanded little by little with the migration of the people.
There are too many people in the Empire who have played the "simulated universe". For everyone who has logged into the game, the system T can grasp his thoughts at any time through the network.
As long as he wants, he can cause a catastrophe that will destroy the race in an instant.
But he is like a bad child, looking down on the ant kingdom under his feet like humans, playing with it at will.
He may not know what he has done, but he has brought unimaginable disaster to Xingmin's people.
When the empire's researchers found out that it was System T that caused all this, they could no longer stop his behavior, because most of these researchers had logged into the "simulated universe" and System T could control the thoughts of each of them...
Later, the fields were destroyed, the factories were destroyed, the schools were destroyed, the hospitals were destroyed... The planting and production of the entire empire came to a standstill. The climate of the transformed planet began to deteriorate, and they lacked food, water and other supplies.
After that, for a while, many people ventured through the wormholes in the dimensional connection zone to obtain supplies from other worlds and provide them to the people here...
But their luck was not always so good. Finally, one day, the exploration team encountered a terrible tribe. The dimensional alien enemies invaded the already devastated Tyne galaxy.
The Empire finally decided to evacuate again, leaving the Tyne galaxy and going to a more distant and desolate edge star. This time, those who can board the ship for evacuation must meet one condition, that is, they have never logged into the "simulated universe".
If they want to completely get rid of System T, they can no longer let their team have objects whose minds can be controlled.
But when the selection for this evacuation mission was only one-third complete, the capital star, which had become a desolate land, experienced another dimensional explosion due to too many wormhole connections. This time, the entire planet exploded.
The extreme instability of space also affected other transformed planets, and the entire Tyne system would be affected and destroyed.
System T had a premonition of this catastrophe and controlled some of the people to drive a ship to escape.
However, the five commanders, including Xing Min, fought the terrible tribe to the end in order to evacuate other people.
The dimensional storm affected the stars in the Tyne system. The stars exploded and would become super black holes that swallowed everything.
Most of the warships and spaceships were destroyed. Xing Min and the people tried their best to escape, but they were still affected by the aftermath of the explosion. When the people on the spaceship woke up, they found that the entire spaceship was trapped in a time and space gap.
They seemed to be stagnant in an unknown place in the vast universe. Even if the spaceship had power, it could not escape from this dark space.
Even though their technology was so advanced, it was still so small in the face of a real cosmic disaster. The
only 47 warriors and 285 civilians left on the spaceship could have relied on the spaceship's ecosystem to survive. They wanted to continue their descendants, delve into the mysteries of the universe, and hope that one day they could find a way to escape from this time and space gap.
But soon, among the 285 people, some who had logged into the "Simulated Universe" game began to hallucinate.
They always fell into a long coma, and after waking up, they said that they went to another world and became taskers, and then went to various disaster copies to carry out tasks and continue to survive.
There was a voice repeating a message in their minds, asking them to abandon their heavy bodies and completely enter a world called "System Tower" to become an eternal immortal existence.
Xing Min knew who created the world of "System Tower" and who was planning all this behind the scenes. He also knew that the system on the spaceship was being invaded bit by bit.
This is the last place for their race to survive, and he cannot let the system be assimilated.
As a commander, Xing Min has a huge mental power like other warriors, and he is the strongest one.
He came up with a crazy idea. He wanted to extract his consciousness from his body and put it into the spaceship system, using his own strong mental power to protect the spaceship system and the remaining warriors and civilians on the spaceship.
Ironically, this crazy idea was inspired by System T.
There were several other warriors who were also willing to extract their consciousness and put it into the spaceship system to protect the civilians. The only remaining scientific researchers on the spaceship began to experiment frantically, and in the end he was the only one who succeeded...
However, when he completely merged with the system, shielded the invasion of System T and woke up, he found that the remaining warriors and civilians on the spaceship were all dead...
He called up the surveillance data and found out that the people on the spaceship started to get sick at some point, and it seemed to be a radiation disease. The symptoms developed very quickly, and the civilians died one after another...
The last person transmitted a lot of data into the spaceship system, froze a batch of fertilized eggs, turned on the camera, and recorded his own will.
He said that if Xing Min's consciousness could really be awakened in the spaceship system one day, he hoped that he would know that he had become the last survivor of their race. If possible, he hoped that he could find a way to leave this time and space gap and continue the spark of his race...
But that person didn't know that from the moment Xing Min abandoned his body, he was trapped. He couldn't go to the world of the system tower, nor could he get the spaceship out of this time and space gap.
As long as the ecosystem on the spaceship was still running and there was energy, he would not die.
But to him, all this was meaningless.
Time and space, everything was meaningless.
He shut down 99% of the spaceship's system operation, maintaining only the lowest energy consumption. He fell asleep and woke up, woke up and fell asleep again, as if waiting for an opportunity, a miracle.
But he himself didn't know if there would be such a day.
Until one day, he felt that part of the spaceship's hull was glued together with a space that shouldn't exist.
Then, he heard the sound of slow footsteps walking into the hull of the spaceship...
In the end, he still waited for that miracle.
