From the Three-Body Escape to Super God

Chapter 366 Broadcast, Here It Comes

Although Tomoko's words are cold and realistic, no matter what it is, the truth behind it has always been the same.

Yes!

What will happen to the future of the universe? Is it something that creatures like humans, who only live for a hundred years, should worry about?

Even with development to this day, humans can only survive for a few hundred years at most without hibernation technology.

A few hundred seconds is just a fleeting moment on the scale of the entire universe.

"Cheng Xin, that is not our responsibility. At least we cannot reach that level right now."

Seeing that Cheng Xin seemed to have her own ideas and was about to do something fancy, Liang Bing had no choice but to stand up and agree with Chieko.

You are just a mere Cheng Xin. What does the death of the universe have to do with you?
I used to be the demon king, one of the most powerful beings in the known universe. Even at that height, I still couldn't decide matters of life and death in the universe. What makes you think you can do that?
At this moment, not only Zhizi felt that Cheng Xin had no idea what was going on, but Liang Bing also felt the same way.

"But, we are also part of the universe, right?"

Cheng Xin wanted to continue saying this, but she didn't say it out loud in the end. She just thought silently in her heart: If the day really comes when she needs to return the mass of the microcosm, will she be willing to return it?
She didn't know, at least she couldn't guarantee what would happen in the future.

But emotionally, she felt that she was willing to return it.

Afterwards, seeing that everyone wanted to leave Blue Planet and enter Microcosm No. 647, Chieko said no more.

She only has the right to make suggestions to a few people, but she has no right to restrict their decisions.

"Are you ready?"

Tomoko began again: "Be ready, I can send you into Microcosm No. 647 at any time."

Only she can assist them in entering Microuniverse No. 647. Otherwise, with their current scientific level, it will probably take hundreds of years for them to understand the Microuniverse and become familiar with its application.

Hearing this, Cheng Xin, Liang Bing, and Guan Yifan looked at each other, and they could see a sense of determination in each other's eyes.

"Get ready, leave Blue Star now."

The three of them said in unison.

Then, they couldn’t understand how it was done. They just felt a black screen before their eyes, and then they appeared in a field.

"Is this Microcosm No. 647?"

"Why does it still feel like we're on the Blue Planet?"

"Yes, the familiar houses and wheat fields are exactly the same as on the Blue Planet!"

Seeing everything that was not unfamiliar in front of them, the three of them expressed confusion and emotion.

"Welcome to Universe 647. I am the administrator of this universe."

It was Tomoko's voice. She also entered Microcosm No. 647 and appeared in front of the three people and said.

"Universe Manager?" Guan Yifan looked at Zhizi in surprise and said, "This is such a great name, especially for someone like me who studies cosmology, it sounds like..."

"Haha, no..." Tomoko smiled and waved her hand: "You are the real masters of No. 647 and have the absolute right to decide everything here. I am just serving you."

Tomoko made an inviting gesture, and the three followed her along the ridge of the field until they entered an elegant living room in a white house.

The living room is decorated in Chinese style, with several elegant calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls.

After they sat down at an antique wooden desk, Tomoko poured tea for them, but this time there was no complicated tea ceremony procedure.

The tea leaves looked like Longjing tea, with each tea leaf standing upright at the bottom of the cup, forming a small green forest and emitting a refreshing fragrance.

All of this seemed like a dream to the three of them. Tomoko was becoming more and more humane, and even knew how to enjoy a "human-like" life better than some other humans.

Zhizi handed the poured tea to the three people and continued, "This universe is a gift from Mr. Yun Tianming to you three."

"I think it's for Cheng Xin."

Guan Yifan said.

Liang Bing also nodded. She knew the love-hate relationship between Cheng Xin and Yun Tianming best.

"No, the recipients must also include you two. The subsequent identification system has permissions for you and Ms. Liang Bing, otherwise you and Ms. Liang Bing would not be able to enter."

Zhizi explained: "Mr. Yun Tianming hopes that you can escape the end of our big universe in this small universe, which is the big collapse, and enter the new big universe after the new big bang."

"He wants you to see the pastoral era of the new universe."

"We are now in an independent timeline. The time of the universe is passing by very quickly. You will definitely be able to wait until its end in your lifetime."

"According to a more specific estimate, the collapse of the universe will reach a singularity within ten years."

"If a new creation explosion were to occur, how would we know?"

Guan Yifan asked.

"What we can know is that we can detect the state of the macro-universe through the super-membrane."

Chieko's words reminded Cheng Xin of the words Yun Tianming carved on the rock, but Guan Yifan thought of more. He noticed a word Chieko mentioned: Pastoral Era.

This term is used by humans in the Milky Way to describe the peaceful era in the universe.

There are two possibilities here. One is coincidence, and the Three-Body World just happened to choose this word.

The second possibility is even more terrifying. The Three-Body World has already detected the existence of other humans in the Milky Way. From the fact that Yun Tianming quickly arrived at Blue Star, we can know that the world of the Three-Body First Fleet is very close to several human worlds in the Milky Way.

Now, the Three-Body Civilization has developed to the point where it can establish a small universe, which poses a huge threat to other human worlds in the Milky Way.

But he immediately laughed out loud.

"why are you laughing?"

Cheng Xin and Liang Bing couldn't help but look at him strangely.

"Laugh at me for being ridiculous."

It is indeed ridiculous. Even before entering the microcosm, the worlds of several people in the Milky Way are likely to be shrouded in the black domain.

Even if there are some individuals who are not covered by the black domain, they don’t know how many billions of years have passed in the vast universe.

He is now worried about a group of people who he has no idea whether they still exist.

"Universe No. 647 is a custom product. I will be here when it is completed. I am essentially just a data body. I can make many copies..."

Tomoko continued her introduction.

In other words, the current her is not the same her on Blue Star, and the her on Blue Star did not follow in at all.

"Let's start discussing whether we still need to return to the universe now, shall we?"

After Chieko finished the introduction, Guan Yifan looked at Cheng Xin and Liang Bing again.

According to what Sophon just said, the collapse of the big universe will reach the singularity state within ten years of the small universe No. 647. In that case, what else can they do when they go back?

It is better to listen to Chieko's advice and stay in Microcosm No. 647 to wait for the results.

"To be honest, I am interested." Guan Yifan continued: "I really want to see what the new universe looks like, especially when it has not been tampered with or distorted by life and civilization. It must embody the highest harmony and beauty."

"I also want to go to the new universe. The singularity and the Big Bang will erase all memories of this universe. I want to bring part of human memory to the new universe."

Cheng Xin also followed suit.

Only Liang Bing didn't say anything. She didn't want to look at anything because she had already seen it, and strictly speaking, it came from the new universe.

She just wants to go back now...

Among the three, two have expressed their intention to stay in Micro Universe No. 647.

Sochiko stood up and said, "Then your new life in Universe 647 has begun. Let's go out and take a look."

When they went out again, they saw a scene of spring plowing. The robots were working in the fields, and some were sowing seeds in the leveled fields.

However, the way they do farm work is very primitive. They don't have wide rakes that can be pulled, and they just use small hand-held rakes to level the ground bit by bit. They don't have seed drills either. The robots hold a bag of seeds in one hand and bury the seeds in the ground with the other hand.

The whole scene has a quaint quality, where robots are even closer to nature than farmers.

"This place is not like Blue Star. The food stored here is only enough for you to eat for two years. You will have to rely on farming to survive in the future."

Tomoko pointed at the field and continued.

That's why she didn't recommend that they enter so quickly.

This is because the Blue Planet has been operated for hundreds of years, but no one has lived in Micro Universe No. 647 for a long time before.

Don't ask why not bring in all the food from Blue Star.

Tomoko said that she wanted to eat what she grew herself.

…………

Soon, a year passed in Universe 647.

The wheat in the field has been harvested for two seasons. The three of them watched twice as the emerald green wheat seedlings slowly turned into golden wheat waves, and the vegetable fields next to them were also filled with green.

This small manor has a complete set of daily necessities. All the supplies have no trademarks and are obviously made in the Three-Body World. However, their appearance is exactly the same as human products, without any exotic features.

But they spend more time in front of the computer.

A terminal window can be activated anywhere in the microcosm, but they don't know where the computer host of this world is.

There is a large amount of text and image data about humans on Earth in the computer, most of which are from before the broadcasting era. They are obviously information about the human world collected by the Three-Body World, covering all fields of science and humanities.

But more information is in Three-Body script, the amount is huge and vast, and this is also the part they are most interested in.

They couldn't find any software on the computer to translate Trisolarian characters into human characters, so they started to learn Trisolarian characters, and Chieko became their teacher.

But they soon discovered that this was extremely difficult, because Trisolaran script was a ideographic script, which, unlike human phonetic script, had nothing to do with language and directly expressed meaning.

Humans also had ideographic characters in ancient times. For example, some hieroglyphs were ideographic, but they later disappeared. Humans' reading habits completely changed to phonetic habits.

However, they found that this difficulty only existed at the beginning and it became easier as time went on.

After two difficult months, their progress gradually accelerated.

Compared with phonetic characters, the biggest advantage of ideographic characters is reading speed. This type of characters can be read at least ten times faster than phonetic characters.

The three of them read the Three-Body literature with difficulty. They had two original purposes. One was to understand how the Three-Body world recorded the history between them and Earth civilization, and the other was to know how this small universe was built.

As for the latter, although they all know that it is unlikely to truly understand it from a professional perspective in a short period of time, they should at least know what is going on from a popular science perspective.

Chieko said that to achieve these two goals, they would need another year to further master the Three-Body script and another year to read it.

The basic principles of building a small universe were indeed difficult for them to imagine, and even some of the lower-level mysteries took them a long time to figure out.

For example, how is the ecological cycle established in a cubic kilometer of space?
What is the sun?
Where does its energy come from?

Regarding this point, even Zhang Heng, who went to the known universe of Super God to rebuild his own small universe, was too lazy to create another sun in his own small universe. You can imagine how difficult it is!
However, the most puzzling thing is: as a completely closed system, where does the heat in the microcosm go?
Of course, what they are most concerned about now is; can the small universe communicate with the big universe?
Chieko told them that it was impossible for the microcosm to transmit information to the macrocosm, but it was possible to receive information broadcasts from the macrocosm.

She said: "All universes are bubbles on a super membrane. This involves the most basic theoretical picture of three-body physics and cosmology. She could not explain it further. The universe has enough energy to propagate information on the super membrane."

"But this is very difficult and requires unimaginably huge amounts of energy. If the universe were to do this, it would probably have to convert the mass of a galaxy into pure energy."

"In fact, the monitoring system in Universe 647 often receives information from other large universes on the super membrane. Some of them are naturally generated, and some are indecipherable intelligent information, but it has never received information from the large universe they came from."

Time passes day by day, like the water in the stream, calm and smooth.

Cheng Xin began to write her memoirs, recording the history she knew.

Sometimes, they also imagine life in new universes.

Sophon told them that according to cosmological theory, the new universe must be higher than four dimensions in macroscopic terms, and it is very likely to be higher than ten dimensions. When the new universe is born, Universe No. 647 can automatically establish an exit in it and detect the surrounding environment.

If the new universe is higher than four dimensions, the exit of the small universe can move across space until it finds a suitable living environment.

At the same time, it is also possible to contact immigrants from other small universes in the Three-Body World, and of course, it is also possible to contact immigrants of humans in the Milky Way.

In the new universe, immigrants from the old universe almost belong to the same race, and should be able to build a world together.

Sophon particularly emphasized that in a high-dimensional universe, there is a factor that greatly increases the chances of survival.

Among the many dimensions, there may be more than one dimension that belongs to time.

"Multidimensional time?"

For a moment, several people were unable to understand what this concept meant.

"Even if time only had two dimensions, it would be flat rather than linear, with an infinite number of directions, which means we could make an infinite number of choices at the same time."

Guan Yifan explained.

“One of these choices is always the right one.”

Tomoko said.

……

Several years passed, until one day, Zhizi suddenly found a few people again and said, "We received the super membrane broadcast from the universe!"

Then she brought up a terminal window and enlarged it, and dimmed the brightness of the sun so that they could see clearly what was in the window.

Countless lines of symbols were scrolling rapidly in the window. They were displayed by the dot matrix graphics sent by the super membrane broadcast. The symbols were strange and unrecognizable. Cheng Xin and Guan Yifan also noticed that the symbols were not of the same type. They rolled by like the ripples of a turbulent river.
