From the Three-Body Escape to Super God

Chapter 365: Tomoko is speechless

When Chieko approached, Liang Bing's eyes instantly became full of vigilance.

After all, although this girl in front of him looked completely harmless, she was actually not as she seemed.

Rather, it was the Sophon that locked down the technology of human civilization on Earth.

Moreover, for her, things like Sophon had brought her a lot of psychological trauma, whether in the known universe or in the universe of money.

So, when she saw Tomoko approaching, she could no longer remain calm.

Cheng Xin was actually in the same mood. When she saw Zhizi coming over, she remained silent and solemn.

Finally, it was Guan Yifan who asked first: "What should we call you? Tomoko?"

"Ah."

Tomoko nodded.

"Then can you tell me how much time has passed on Blue Star since we left and you arrived?"

Guan Yifan continued to ask.

After all, for them, it only took a few hours to leave Blue Star.

When I came back again a few hours later, I saw that Blue Star had changed so much.

Even though he knew that it was the influence of the black domain that caused the error between the time inside and outside the black domain, he really couldn't imagine what the error would be and how big the error would be.

"There are 1339563.6 trisomy hours."

Tomoko replied.

One trisomic hour is approximately equal to 53 human minutes, and 1339563.6 trisomic hours is approximately equal to about 103 human years.

In other words, 103 years have passed since the three of them left and Yun Tianming brought Chieko to Blue Star.

More than a hundred years have passed, and it is no wonder that this living area is so well managed by Sophon and robots.

But when he heard that the past hundred years were not quite the same as he had imagined, Guan Yifan didn't know how to sort it out for a moment.

I could only continue to wonder, "Why has more than a hundred years passed? For you who are in the Black Domain, shouldn't time be very slow compared to us who were not trapped in the Black Domain before?"

Guan Yifan was very confused. After all, it was Blue Star that fell into the black domain before the three of them. No matter how you calculated it, the time that passed on Blue Star should not be faster than what they experienced.

"That's not the case."

Zhizi shook her head, and then explained to Guan Yifan: "In fact, it should be you three who fell into the black domain before Blue Star. The black domain spread from other places in the universe. If Blue Star is the end point, then Blue Star will be the last to be covered by the spreading black domain..."

Although Tomoko's explanation was a bit confusing at first, it was no longer difficult to understand.

It can be said that the black domain spreads from all directions with the blue star as the center point.

At that time, Guan Yifan and his companions were returning to Blue Star, and naturally they were covered by the black domain first.

In other words, during the short period of time when Guan Yifan and the others were enveloped in advance, more than a hundred years had passed on the Blue Star.

After the difference of more than one hundred years between the two, the time later became completely consistent.

After all, the black domain was also spreading at the speed of light, and after a while, the Blue Star was also covered by the black domain.

And why couldn't the expedition team contact Guan Yifan in advance and inform him that the black area was covering the Blue Star?

The reason is very simple, because there is a black domain between the two, no matter what substance it is, it is impossible to directly pass through the black domain.

Once you fall into the black zone, you can only be covered by it passively. You can neither enter nor come out actively.

"You said that the black domain spread from all directions. Does that mean that right after we left our world, our world was also covered by the black domain?"

After understanding what Chieko meant, Guan Yifan thought of this fatal question again.

"possible."

Tomoko replied: "If your world is very close to here, and you don't have to go around an area that has been covered by the black domain to get here from your world."

"Then, your world is also likely to be at the center of the spread of the black domain."

After all, Tomoko doesn’t know where Guan Yifan’s so-called “our world” is, so she can only make this judgment.

After hearing what Chieko said, Guan Yifan also fell silent.

That is to say, no matter what, even if he didn't return to Blue Star with Cheng Xin and Liang Bing, he still couldn't avoid falling into the Black Domain?
The only difference is that it's more lively in your own world.

"Does the spread of the black zone have anything to do with you?"

It was only at this time that Liang Bing began to interrupt.

After all, before this, several people had suspected that the sudden spread of the black zone might be related to Yun Tianming's arrival.

"It has nothing to do with it."

Chieko replied very confidently and she was not lying. If Yun Tianming knew that the Black Domain would spread here, or if she herself knew that the Black Domain would spread here, she would have definitely told Guan Yifan the news when she asked the expedition team to send back the message.

"Then is the spread of the black domain this time related to the mass loss on the Blue Planet?"

Guan Yifan then asked: "The mass on the blue planet is now disappearing. I guess you should have noticed it, right?"

"The robot just asked you, what do you know?"

Hearing this, Sophon continued to explain without haste: "In fact, by the time our Trisolaran civilization completed the construction of Microcosm No. 647, according to the state of the universe observed by the Trisolaran world, no effects of mass loss had been found..."

The Three-Body Civilization has built hundreds of small universes so far, which means that when they build small universe No. 647, there will be no mass loss in the large universe.

Of course, when the small universe is being built, the mass of the large universe will definitely be lost, but it will not be as obvious as the loss of the blue star now, and it can even be observed.

"The universe is closed. The mass flowing from the big universe to the small universes of various civilizations is essentially still in the big universe, and will eventually collapse together with the arrival of heat death."

"What about after No. 647 is completed?"

At this time, Cheng Xin also asked.

However, this time, Tomoko's answer was beyond everyone's expectations: "I don't know."

She went on to say, "There is a group of intelligent civilizations in the universe, very similar to the Zero Returners, called the Return Movement. They try to stop the construction of small universes and call for the return of the mass of the built small universes to the big universe..."

She also mentioned about the Nullifiers, but she didn't know much about that.

But if those intelligent civilizations calling for the return movement really exist, then the spread of the black domain and the mass loss that occurs with it are very likely related to them.

"Maybe, we should stop thinking about this. We are not God."

After Zhizi finished explaining, he still couldn't make sense. Guan Yifan said helplessly: "Now we can't leave Blue Star anymore. We are destined to spend the rest of our lives on Blue Star. There is really no point in thinking so much."

"But we've already had to think about what God thinks, haven't we?"

However, Liang Bing began to get excited.

Anyway, she just didn't want to be trapped here forever.

Not only did she have to leave the Blue Star, she also had to leave this universe and return to the known universe. The three of them sat by the stream until the moon turned into the sun.

Tomoko was busy with her own business. She seemed to like farming very much, working day and night...

"By the way, where is Yun Tianming? Why didn't I see Zhizi mention him?"

At this moment, the three of them finally remembered Yun Tianming again.

Moreover, according to what the robot said before; some of the people who came to Blue Planet before died of old age, and some left...

How did those who left leave?

Can they escape from the Black Zone?

Will Yun Tianming be among those who left?
Thinking of this, the three of them stood up almost at the same time and started calling Tomoko.

"You guys come with me."

After understanding what the three people meant, Tomoko didn't waste any words and motioned for them to follow her.

Yun Tianming did leave some instructions on Blue Star, but no one had asked before, and Chieko certainly wouldn't say it on her own initiative.

Until a few people followed Zhizi to a stone tablet, where Yun Tianming left the last tenderness for Cheng Xin.

At this moment, things seemed to be back on track, just like the last zero-reset cycle of the Three-Body Distant Universe.

When Cheng Xin returned to Blue Star, she did not see Yun Tianming, but only received a gift left by Yun Tianming, a gift bigger than the planet, Micro Universe No. 647.

Microcosm No. 647 is also the microcosm that Tomoko mentioned during the day.

It seems that although this small universe was built by the Three-Body Civilization, it now belongs to Yun Tianming.

The clear words engraved on the stone also appeared in front of Cheng Xin: "We have lived a happy life, and we can avoid collapse in our small universe..."

The following is some relevant knowledge about how to apply the microcosm.

Seeing the carvings on the stone, Cheng Xin couldn't help but start crying.

Although she doesn’t know now, who Yun Tianming is referring to when he says “we”.

However, it can indirectly prove that Yun Tianming will no longer wait for her.

But I chose to spend my life with someone...

"Didn't they say someone left? Could it be that Yun Tianming is not among them?"

Liang Bing looked at Chieko with some doubt.

But Zhizi just shook her head lightly, and did not directly say whether Yun Tianming really left, or whether he really spent his life with someone as he said in the inscription.
"What does it mean that you can avoid collapse in a small universe?"

Liang Bing continued to ask: "Can I understand that as long as I enter the so-called microcosm, I can avoid all disasters in the universe?"

"That's understandable."

Tomoko then replied: "If you don't want to continue to live a stable life on Blue Star for a period of time, you can also escape from Blue Star shrouded in the black domain through the microcosm."

After hearing this, several people exchanged glances for a short time and made the final decision, but Liang Bing still said: "I want to leave, but if you want to stay here, I will stay and live with you for a while."

She said to Guan Yifan and Cheng Xin.

Guan Yifan was fine, after all, they had only known each other for a short time.

But the time Cheng Xin spent with her was countless times more than the time she and Kesha had spent as sisters.

Although she felt that Cheng Xin was a jerk most of the time, she had always been like this. As long as she spent a long time with someone, she would develop feelings for them and would never run away when disaster struck.

In the known universe where Zhang Hengchao didn't exist, she also ended up dying in a black hole, which indirectly proved this point.

After Liang Bing finished speaking, Guan Yifan also nodded slowly: "I am studying the universe with a diameter of 16 billion light years, but I don't want to spend my life on this planet that is only more than 10,000 kilometers. Let's leave."

His thoughts at this moment were the same as Liang Bing's. He did not want to spend his life on Blue Star.

"Actually, I don't recommend you do this so quickly." But Sophon said, "Now none of us can accurately measure the speed of time passing in the macrocosm, but we can be sure that from the time you entered the Blue Planet to now, and then waited until you successfully passed through the microcosm to get out, at least tens of billions of years have passed in the macrocosm."

"For tens of billions of years, we have no idea what the environment of the universe is like, and we don't even know whether the universe is still three-dimensional."

"By then, if you still want to return to Blue Planet, it won't be as easy as leaving. At least, you can't do it with Microcosm No. 647."

Tomoko suggested.

After all, staying on the Blue Planet allows one to spend his whole life without worrying about food and drink, but if he goes out through the microcosm, he may not survive even a second in the big universe.

"Perhaps, you think that even if the big universe can no longer go out, the small universe can still be used for your production."

Tomoko continued, "But think about it. Compared to the blue planet, which is only over 647 kilometers wide, the is at most one thousand meters wide. Are you sure you want to leave so early?"

"Isn't the door to the microcosm able to move at the speed of light? Can it find an environment where it can survive?"

Guan Yifan continued to ask.

What he called the door was the spatial anchor point.

"If you insist, go ahead and look for it."

After the suggestion, Chieko stopped trying to persuade him.

In fact, the best way to do it according to her suggestion is to live the life you want on the Blue Planet first, and then go to the 647 microuniverse.

Don’t think about returning to the big universe anymore. Staying in the small universe is the final choice.

Because, staying in the microcosm has two possible futures.

If the regressive movement is successful, the big universe collapses into a singularity and a new Big Bang occurs, and then you can go to the new universe.

And if the return movement fails and the big universe dies, the small universe will definitely not die as quickly as the big universe, and you can still spend your life in the small universe, and at that time the small universe will also be good.

"If everyone in the microcosm thinks this way, then the macrocosm must be dead."

At this time, Cheng Xin said.

Hearing this, Chieko looked at Cheng Xin in silence. Considering her thinking speed, this conversation might have lasted for several centuries.

It’s hard to imagine a software algorithm being able to produce such complex gazes and expressions, but now she has, truly indistinguishable from a human.

Obviously, Sophon's A software has retrieved all the data since it met humans. This data spans countless years. All these memories are condensed in her eyes, sadness, admiration, surprise, blame, regret...all kinds of complex emotions are mixed together.

"You are still living for responsibility."

Zhizi said to Cheng Xin: "In a civilization, survival is an individual's first need, followed by responsibility."

"Similarly, in a universe, survival is the first need of a civilization, followed by responsibility."

"With the technological strength of human civilization and Trisolaran civilization today, they can barely survive even today. Is it really necessary for us to take on the responsibility of saving the universe?"
