From the Three-Body Escape to Super God

Chapter 345: The Singer's World and the Edge World
If you want to find the singer civilization, you must first find the "singer".

Of course, Zhang Heng's purpose in this trip was to find this civilization, which he could only look up to.

However, for the Singer civilization, it is the same as for the Three-Body civilization.

He also had never had any contact with the other party during the last universe zero cycle.

If he had come into contact with the other party, either the other party would have killed him, or he would have killed the other party.

And his limited understanding of the Singer civilization, as well as most of his knowledge, were basically learned through rumors.

Although evaluating the Singer civilization from his current perspective, their overall technological strength is estimated not to reach the level of independent consciousness.

In other words, if we measure them by the level of civilization, they can only be considered as civilizations below level five.

After all, it's pretty obvious.

If they reach the fifth level of civilization, their consciousness will be independent and they will gain immortality in a sense.

At the same time, they also have the opportunity to go to a new universe when the universe returns to zero.

Then, they will no longer appear in the Milky Way of the Trisolaran Universe.

What the Pangu meta-universe can replicate again is only all the matter that has been reset to zero.

Facts have also proved that Zhang Heng's consciousness went to the new universe, which is the current cycle universe.

The result is that no matter in the metaverse of his hometown or in the Three-Body Metaverse, there will never be another him.

Of course, if we only take Zhang Heng as an example, it still seems unconvincing.

Then, how do we explain the fact that Cheng Xin, Yun Tianming, and the humans on the Gravitation and Blue Space did not reappear in the Trisolaran Universe in the current cosmic cycle?

Zhang Heng had already confirmed this when he was on Earth.

In the current cosmic cycle, there are really no such people on Earth anymore.

To sum up, the Singer civilization can only be regarded as a peak level 4 civilization at best, less than level 5.

No matter how powerful the strike weapons they possess are, as long as they cannot break through the independent technology of consciousness, they will never be able to make any further progress.

Just as Zhang Heng began to look for the "singer" within one or two light years.

In a dark and silent space, an inconspicuous spaceship is parked here.

The hull of the spacecraft is filled with various devices for observing and receiving signals from the universe.

Inside the spacecraft, in an indistinct shape, sometimes nearly transparent, sometimes emitting a milky white shadow, various operations were being performed on an instrument.

While operating the instrument, the shadow's mouth was not idle, constantly humming a melody that only it could understand.

If nothing unexpected happens, this might be the target Zhang Heng is looking for, the "singer".

After some operations, the singer finally stopped humming and spoke to the instrument in a serious tone: "I need a piece of two-dimensional foil for cleaning."

Obviously, it is communicating with a certain being through this instrument.

This being is naturally also within their civilization, and his status within the civilization is not low.

This being is the "elder" in civilization.

"Give."

Soon, there was a reply from the other side of the instrument, and the elder immediately gave the singer a piece of two-dimensional foil.

Moreover, it was transmitted through the anchor point of space technology.

It seems that they not only have mastered the application of space technology, but may even have their own small universe.

The two-dimensional foil that was transmitted was suspended in front of the singer. It was in a sealed state and was crystal clear.

Although it is just an ordinary thing, the singer likes "it" very much.

As a civilized cleaner, it actually doesn't like those expensive tools because they are too violent!
He still prefers the hardest softness embodied by the two-dimensional foil, the beauty that can turn death into a song.

But after receiving the two-dimensional foil, the singer became a little uneasy: "Why did you give it to me so readily this time?"

“It’s not something valuable.”

The elder on the other side of the instrument replied.

"But if you use this thing too much, it always..."

The singer hesitated to speak.

“It’s used everywhere in the universe.”

The elders don’t care.

"Yes, it is used everywhere, but we used to be more or less restrained. Now..."

At this moment, the singer couldn't help but start to mutter in his heart.

Is it really okay to mess around like this?

At first, the use of two-dimensional foil was restrained in our civilization, but it seems to have become more and more rampant recently.

The top management is becoming less and less concerned about approving the use of two-dimensional foil for cleaners like them.

Is it...

Is it because the mother world is already prepared to dualize itself, so it feels safe and bold to use the two-dimensional foil to try to see if it can destroy the higher-dimensional civilization that exists above the two-dimensional world in one fell swoop?
"Did you hear anything?"

Seeing that the singer seemed to be unusually talkative today, the elder's voice gradually began to take on a cold tone.

At the same time, the singer also felt that the elder was searching in his mind.

This feeling made the singer shudder.

Faced with the elder flipping through his thoughts like a book, the singer certainly did not dare to resist, nor did he have the ability to resist.

Soon, the elder also found out the rumors the singer had heard.

However, this is not a sin. It is an open secret among the upper echelons of civilization.

It is about the war between the mother world and the edge world. There used to be continuous reports of war coming in, but later they stopped.

This also shows that the war is not going well and is even in crisis.

Their home world and the edge world cannot coexist, and they must destroy the edge world, otherwise they will be destroyed.

If the war cannot be won, then...

"Is the mother world ready to become two-dimensional?"

Since the singer already knew that the elder knew his thoughts, he no longer hesitated to ask directly.

However, the elder did not answer, perhaps he agreed.

The elder left, and cut off the instrument communication with the singer.

"If this is true, it is a great sorrow!"

The singer sighed to himself.

It cannot imagine that kind of life, where survival is above everything else on the tower of meaning, and in the face of survival, all the low-lying bodies in the universe can only choose the lesser of two evils.

The so-called "Tower of Meaning" is actually everything their civilization pursues, just like the law is written on a stone tower.

The "Tower of Meaning" also records their civilization's pursuits and values.

And the highest on the tower of their civilization is survival.

Although there is fun in it besides survival, that is, maintaining and improving one's own low entropy level in a universe with ever-increasing entropy.

But, they think the fun is the least important.

After the war with the edge world, fun was largely forgotten because of its low status in meaning. Of course, if there is a higher meaning higher up in the tower of meaning, at a height that their civilization cannot see, there is a higher meaning.

But this is not something that civilization at this level can consider and understand.

Now, the biggest contradiction and task they have to face at this level of civilization is survival.

After a long while, the singer came back to his senses and looked at the two-dimensional foil in front of him. He was no longer as happy as before.

This two-dimensional foil was originally intended to be used to attack the galaxy where the yellow dwarf star with unusual movements is located.

That is the solar system.

However, now it seems a little hesitant.

Then again, it's only now applying for two-dimensional foil.

Then, wouldn't it be included in the two-dimensional foils that Zhang Heng discovered before, which were enough to fill a deck of playing cards?
Did Zhang Heng misunderstand it?
This is really the case.

After all, as the elder said, two-dimensional foil is used everywhere in the universe.

The two-dimensional foil is not a weapon exclusive to the "Singer Civilization"...

Back to the point, the singer only hesitated for a moment, and soon he became determined again.

Live in the present moment, and cleaning is its main job.

However, before it had time to release the two-dimensional foil it had just applied for, it suddenly felt that its spacecraft was out of control.

"Data virus?"

After noticing the abnormality of the spacecraft, the singer quickly discovered clues and accurately judged that a civilization had released a data virus on his spacecraft.

After hunting all day, I didn't expect that I would be bitten by the prey today.

Yes, it compared those who attacked its spacecraft to prey, and seemed a little nonchalant.

Don't underestimate it as just a cleaner in civilization. However, with its vision and knowledge, it certainly knows which level of civilization the data virus belongs to and will use more means of attack.

Zhang Heng had said before that data virus wars generally only occur between the Three-Body Civilization and human civilization, which are wars at those levels.

Therefore, at this moment the singer believed that the civilization that used data viruses to attack his spacecraft must not be a civilization of a very high level.

However, just as it wanted to eliminate the data viruses that invaded its spacecraft, it found that it seemed to have underestimated these data viruses.

The degree of resistance of the data virus was beyond its imagination.

Even, they will ridicule it...

"It's really life-and-death."

Although at this time the singer had to admit in his heart that the civilization that attacked his spaceship was indeed something special, as they were able to create such a perverted data virus that even the advanced intelligent defense system on its spaceship could not eliminate it.

However, their civilization not only possesses advanced intelligence, they also have super intelligence.

However, it is impossible for something like super intelligence to be equipped on this spacecraft.

If it wants to use it, it has to apply.

While the data virus had not yet invaded the instrument that was in contact with the elder, and the advanced intelligence on the spacecraft could still hold on for a while, the singer hurriedly began to try to contact the elder again.

But, it’s afraid that it will never get what it wants!

If the data virus was not serious just now, it is now at full force.

The moment is just a passing moment.

The singer lost control of all the facilities on the spacecraft, including the instrument used to communicate with the elders.

"What should I call you?"

At this time, a voice that the singer found unfamiliar, the voice of any creature it had never heard before, came into the spacecraft using the universal language of the universe.

"Forget it, I'll just call you the singer, after all, that's what everyone calls you."

The voice continued.

Of course, the singer civilization and the singers themselves will also use the universal language of the universe.

After all, the fact that they can have conflicts with marginal civilizations and have developed to the point where they are now inseparable is enough to show that there has been communication between the two before.

There must have been communication between them to know that the conflict between the two sides was irreconcilable.

Otherwise, no matter how weak a civilization is, it is impossible for it to fight to the death with a civilization that has the same ability to destroy itself.

Because this does not conform to the principle that survival is the first need.

Since there is a history of communication with other civilizations, communication must use a language as a medium.

Undoubtedly, it must be the universal language of the universe.

Regarding the universal language of the universe, it may be an intentional move by the various alliances. In the Three-Body Metaverse and even in various metaverses, any civilization that has the ability to leave its home planet can basically learn it through various channels.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Heng was able to learn all this even though he had basically no communication with any civilization during the last universe zero cycle.

"Which civilization are you from?"

After hearing the sound, the singer was also surprised!
Its body, which was changing color more and more frequently, seemed to be trembling.

Don’t underestimate it as the cleaner of the Singer civilization. It can destroy a civilization or even a star system with just a few gestures.

However, it basically performed the same actions as Lao Liu, while it hid in a dark place where there was no danger.

But they have never actually encountered any creatures outside of their own civilization, let alone going to war with other civilizations.

At this moment, they are facing someone who can silently release data viruses to their spacecraft and easily sneak into their spacecraft.

This is the first time, so it is inevitable that it will be a little nervous.

"You can call me the Enlightener..."

The voice also answered.

At the same time, the singer finally saw the owner of this voice.

Because the other party has already arrived on its spaceship.

"Wow, two-dimensional foil."

When Zhang Heng entered the spacecraft cabin, he saw at first glance the two-dimensional foil that the singer had not yet used.

"Which galaxy do you want to use this on?"

For a moment, Zhang Heng couldn't help but ask curiously.

He didn't know that among the two-dimensional foils previously thrown, there was none that was cast by the singer.

Therefore, at this moment, it is natural to think that the singer wants to use it on other galaxies.

After all, after launching strike weapons at a galaxy, generally no one would launch them a second time.

"I am under no obligation to answer your question."

The singer replied.

Even though it knew it might die here this time, it still acted very tough.

"Then I'll find it in your mind myself!"

Hearing this, Zhang Heng shook his head and stopped talking nonsense. He asked Maya, who had already completely controlled the entire spacecraft, to continue to invade the singer's consciousness.

Faced with the Mayan invasion, the singer, who could not even resist the elders of his own civilization, of course still allowed Mayan to read the information in his mind.
