Chapter 476 We came as we wished.
"So how did you break through these three locks?" Qiu Xiaomei's question was deafening.

Optimus Prime's mechanical core flickered: "Didn't you ask Ma Liang about his magic paintbrush?"

Qiu Xiaomei, eager to learn, stared intently at Optimus Prime: "I asked, and Ma Liang with his magic brush said that he came through the Civilization Trial Grounds. But Ma Liang with his magic brush doesn't know what principles are involved in this."

The Civilization Trial Grounds is one of the Star Alliance's core technologies.

Members of the Star Alliance and Star Alliance Civilization Observers only have a certain degree of viewing and usage rights.

Qiu Xiaomei has far too many questions about this.

Since the Civilization Trial Grounds are so important to the Star Alliance, why has the Star Alliance not launched a large-scale fleet and a strong counterattack despite such a major upheaval at the Blue Star Civilization Trial Grounds?
Whether they didn't pay enough attention or did, they were all blocked by that fog outside the moon's orbit.

Is the Covenant really that vulnerable?

Following Professor Liu's gaze, Optimus Prime looked up at the distant starry sky.

He didn't explain how the Autobots came to Earth, but abruptly said, "In the past six months, the universe we have observed has not changed at all."

Professor Liu's heart tightened, and he clenched his fists tightly on the armrests of his wheelchair, his voice growing increasingly hoarse: "You can't observe it either?"

"Yes. Our field of vision has become the same as yours."

The starry sky may seem unchanging over millennia, but in reality, the light emitted by each distant star is different every single day.

New stars are born, and planets age.

Qiu Xiaomei asked, puzzled, "What does this mean?"

Optimus Prime: "There are two possibilities. One is that Earth and the Moon are shrouded in a transparent dome with extremely strong isolation capabilities. At least, neither our nor Salas's detection technology can penetrate this dome."

"What's the other possibility?"

Optimus Prime suddenly had a strong urge to take a drag of his cigarette.

Unfortunately, while nicotine in cigarettes can numb the biological nerves of humans on Earth, it cannot numb the silicon-based conductive wires of mechanical life.

"The second possibility is that this is what the solar system originally looked like."

Qiu Xiaomei scoffed, "Although I'm not well-educated, you can't fool me like this. I've been on the Wildfire and traveled to Mars orbit. I've seen Mars with my own eyes and seen asteroid belts. My eyes don't lie to me."

Boss Qiu didn't laugh, Professor Liu didn't laugh, and Optimus Prime certainly didn't laugh.

Qiu Xiaomei's smile froze on her face, her eyes widened, and she stammered, "You're not going to tell me that what I saw was all fake, and that I was actually dreaming, are you?"

Optimus Prime couldn't describe how he felt.

As a silicon-based life form, it should not have irrational emotions such as curiosity, confusion, unease, or fear.

But after spending so much time on Earth, Optimus Prime was horrified to find that his emotions were becoming increasingly intense.

Bumblebee once joked that he was the outer shell of a silicon-based life form and the core of a carbon-based human from a blue planet.

Optimus Prime blinked, trying to hide the unease deep within him.

"One of the most common and favorite things that interstellar civilizations do is seek the ultimate mysteries of the universe: How did the Big Bang happen? What was the universe like before the Big Bang?"

“Countless interstellar civilizations and countless scientists have proposed all sorts of theories. One of these theories has been labeled as a distortion and heresy and is prohibited from being discussed or disseminated by the Star Alliance.”

"This theory is simply called the observational universe. Some research on your planet Earth is moving closer to this theory. For example, the observer effect."

"This is a very counterintuitive concept for you. Simply put, it means that the act of observation itself will inevitably affect the observed system and change its state."

"Your planet Earth conducted two very famous experiments on this: the double-slit experiment and Schrödinger's cat. Extending this to other fields, people may change their behavior when they know they are being studied, such as the Hawthorne effect."

Qiu Xiaomei looked helplessly at Professor Liu. Professor Liu nodded slightly, confirming that what Optimus Prime said was true.

In fact, a few scientists have indeed put forward similar views during peacetime.

Qiu Xiaomei suddenly felt her legs go weak and collapsed to the ground.

The stones by Tianchi Lake are icy cold, and the texture feels so real that even the pain from them poking your bottom doesn't seem fake.

How could it be fake? Does it mean your butt hurts because you feel pain yourself?

Once Optimus Prime's urge to speak was unleashed, he disregarded the lives of those around him: "Didn't we discover a superdimensional space called the Hetu Luoshu on Earth? I have an idea. Is it possible that you humans on Earth are essentially signal receivers with displays? For example, you might think that what you see in front of you is a pool of water in an active volcano, so you unconsciously find the image of the Heavenly Pool in the Hetu Luoshu, and the Heavenly Pool becomes what it is now."

Qiu Xiaomei rejected this guess: "You have a good idea, but stop thinking about it. Even if we take a step back, like you said, why can you see Tianchi?"

Optimus Prime's spirit retorted: "How do you know that the Heavenly Lake you see is the same as the Heavenly Lake I see?"

Thousands of arrows pierce the heart!

Qiu Xiaomei clutched her chest, gasping for breath: "Optimus Prime, for the sake of our many years as neighbors, and for the sake of Little Turtle, please shut your precious mouth. I want to be alone. Don't ask me who Jingjing is."

Optimus Prime was helpless; the mental fortitude of Earth's humans was too poor, they weren't strong at all.

Professor Liu looked at Qiu Xiaomei with pity, who looked utterly devastated and questioning the meaning of life, and suggested, "Why don't you go back to the Antarctic base and see Principal Lin?"

"Yes, yes, I need to see Principal Lin to solidify my crumbling worldview." Qiu Xiaomei struggled to her feet, her steps unsteady.

Before leaving, she couldn't help but turn back and ask Optimus Prime, "How exactly did you get to Earth?"

Optimus Prime honestly replied, "We came when we wanted to. It was really a coincidence. We were discussing the cosmic location of Earth when, a second later, our probes discovered Earth. The Silas, like us, saw it when they wanted to. But strangely, the distance between us and Silas is quite far."

Qiu Xiaomei almost fell flat on her face.

She didn't need to ask that question!
Now, she broke out in a cold sweat and became even more convinced that what Optimus Prime said was true.

No, she needs to go and pay homage to her faith.

Everything else can be fake, but her faith cannot be fake!
When she arrived at the Antarctic base, in the lowest level of the secret chamber, she ran into several acquaintances.

"Ah Lian, Luna, Rossi, what are you all doing here?"

Three people, three prayer cushions, kneeling at the elevator entrance, their expressions exceptionally devout.

Ah Lian had dark circles under her eyes, and her voice was extremely weak: "Let's come and see the principal."

They are all victims; there's no need for further explanation.

Qiu Xiaomei took a meditation cushion from the shelf next to her; she was going to meditate!

A faint scent of plants filled the air, and my restless heart felt as if it were being soothed by a gentle hand.

Qiu Xiaomei's furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and her soul floated lightly away from her body, drifting upwards.

They drifted out of Earth, out of the solar system, until they saw a particularly menacing warship, at which point they stopped.

 Two-thirds of the month has passed, and there's still not a single website recommending it. Is that acceptable?

  Even old books have gotten a recommendation...

  Waaaaah. Why is this happening?
