Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A white light flashed, and the Light Chaser fleet arrived in this universe.
A total of 30 main battleships, 1 legion battleship, and 1 planetary mobile fortress. If necessary, the ELS can be ordered to urgently simulate 5,000 battleships.
As soon as he arrived here, Chang Wei did not act rashly, but ordered the fleet to conduct a reconnaissance scan of the surrounding star fields.
A group of fifth-level civilization warships also entered the high-dimensional space and began to guard and search for possible hidden targets.
Everyone knew that this rescue operation was not simple, so they all went on high alert.
As for the cats and dogs, Fury and the others were extremely excited, and were filled with great longing and yearning for the unknown universe and the upcoming rescue mission.
Chang Wei didn't treat them as vassal troops; he simply united them under his command out of kindness. Otherwise, he would have ordered their extermination instead of saving them. However, while pets aren't allowed on the fleet, being able to see these cats and dogs and pet them a few times can be quite a relief from the stress and loneliness of space travel.
Soon, under the observation of a high-dimensional perspective, Chang Wei received a shocking picture.
In the image, numerous mirror-like galaxies, each encased within a vast transparent "film," continuously navigate the universe. They range in size, from the smallest encompassing a single star system to the largest encompassing an entire galaxy. Viewed from a high-dimensional perspective, they shimmer like sparkling pearls, a truly spectacular sight.
The scientific team also received first-hand observation data and exploration information and began to study and discuss them. After a long time, Steadman submitted a summary report.
This transparent "film" is believed to be somewhat similar to an electromagnetic frequency barrier, capable of blocking any signals from outside the galaxy. It also blocks a large amount of cosmic rays and dangerous interstellar dust. Much like the skin and cell membranes of living organisms, it provides a certain degree of protection for the galaxy within, providing a stable and safe internal environment.
Furthermore, instrument testing aboard the scientific exploration vessel and comparative analysis of timeline function graphs revealed that this "membrane" adds another dimension to the original one, bringing the total to two, thus forming a closed time loop. In other words, within this transparent "membrane," everything will reset after a period of time and a "script," returning to its starting point.
Based on the analysis of various data, it is concluded that no matter how the civilization within the "membrane" struggles and develops, it will never be able to break through the "membrane" or receive or transmit any signals outside the "membrane".
Everything, like program code, is calculated. For example, human logic, behavior, conversation, and thought all have predetermined destinies. Unless there's external interference, the effect of such interference is extremely limited. It's considered an error code, its existence acknowledged, and the results of the interference are completely erased after a time reset.
In short, if humans who are locked in this "membrane" cannot break the time loop, they will be trapped in it forever and unable to escape.
After reading the report, Chang Wei asked the system in his head: "System, based on the intelligence we currently have, it seems that breaking the time loop is not that easy, right? What will be the consequences if we rashly cross this 'membrane'?"
The system quickly responded with a cold, mechanical response: "It has been completely confirmed that the current universe is a large-scale breeding farm created by some entity or unknown force. The transparent 'films' enveloping the galaxies are equivalent to 'large breeding boxes.' These 'breeding boxes' not only provide a safe and stable environment for the 'livestock' within, but also restrict their freedom and protect against external intrusion."
"If the 'breeding box' suffers extensive damage, there's a very high chance of unforeseen danger. Therefore, the host needs to be cautious and, as little as possible, create an inconspicuous breach in the 'breeding box' to enter and perform the rescue mission without causing a major disturbance."
"The specific method is to use dimensional technology to carve a hidden wormhole. However, the time dimension within the 'membrane' is two-dimensional, which will exert strong pressure on the one-way time dimension outside the 'membrane', causing the flow of time near the wormhole to become extremely fast, which is likely to accelerate the wormhole's collapse and destruction! Therefore, the host cannot keep the wormhole open for long. Once the wormhole is closed, the personnel operating within will risk being trapped in a time loop, forever trapped inside, becoming part of the 'script'. At that time, the host will be forced to resort to brute force to break it in order to escape."
Chang Wei frowned, but did not interrupt. Instead, he listened patiently.
The system continued, "Breaking the time loop isn't easy. Either it's done violently, or the host needs to find the 'error code' within the time loop, changing their predetermined fate and thereby triggering the collapse of the entire timeline, breaking the closed loop. This 'error code' is usually a human individual, and the host needs to send their subordinates to find it themselves!"
Chang Wei was stunned and interrupted to ask, "Is this 'error code' the protagonist of the world?"
The system replied: "Host, you can understand it this way."
Chang Wei's thoughts raced. Considering the universe before him, how it trapped humanity in a time-looping scenario, reducing them to mere "livestock," it was clear that the existence or unknown force behind this was seeking to extract something from humanity.
What is it gaining? Protein? Soul? Life? It seems none of these... perhaps something more advanced.
Chang Wei had asked the system once before, but the answer he got was: the host has no permission.
So... the implication is that the system must be aware of the existence or unknown force behind this, and that it's trying to extract something from humanity. And this something is very likely a top-tier resource in the universe! Furthermore, this top-tier resource can only be obtained by following specific requirements. So... a script or a plot?
Wait! The protagonist of the world? Hiss!
Chang Wei guessed what it was. If it was that thing, everything would make sense!
[It seems that the fundamental purpose of the rescue mission issued by the system is also to obtain that kind of thing? ]
Chang Wei calmed down and stopped thinking about it. He looked at the countless transparent "films" on the holographic display on the command platform and knew that countless people were waiting for them, the Light Chasers, to save them. This reason alone was enough!
"All troops, listen up! The combat mission is as follows..."
