Originally, Lu Zhou thought that the plot would be over here, but he didn't expect the subtitles of game over or true end to float out of the horizon as he expected, so that he didn't even know whether he had completed the synchronization of virtual memory or not, and browsed all the clues in this memory.

With Dr. Lane's exit, the consul announced the end of the meeting, and the clues about the Oracle were interrupted here. There seemed to be no following in the plot.

After leaving the conference hall, Lu Zhou followed general Sains back to the station, applied to leave after returning the equipment, and wandered around the world by rail train.

Although the class is strong, the world is unexpectedly more prosperous and complex than he imagined.

In this circular world, there are industrial zones specialized in the production of consumer goods, commercial zones responsible for meeting citizens' shopping and entertainment needs, as well as college zones, planting zones, high-density and low-density residential areas, natural landscape reserves, etc.

The people living here do not need to work very hard to enjoy a relatively rich life. And because the income of the same class is relatively average, there is almost no communication between different classes, so the gap between the rich and the poor seems not obvious here, and everyone lives in their own Utopia peacefully.

As for the currency prevailing here, it is something translated as a credit point.

Because he inherited the property of the upper class, the soldier named Reinhardt made a fortune, and he was appreciated by his superiors for his outstanding performance in the operation. Most of the later "human" lives are on the same pace.

I didn't pay much attention to these details, so I went straight to the College District and found the nearest library on the map.

However, to his disappointment, as he guessed, a lot of deeper information, such as specific technology and knowledge, has been blurred out in this memory.

When you open a book, you can only see a fuzzy fog. The same is true when you look up relevant information on the Internet. Too profound knowledge is not recorded in this memory at all. The deeper you dig down, the thinner you will feel its content.

Just like a dream, we can only see the abstract outline, and we can't dig deeply at all.

If you just follow the plot, you may not feel it is a dream at all. However, once his behavior is no longer regular, you can touch the invisible wall everywhere.

At this moment, he is like Michael di Santa in gta5. He wanders aimlessly in the streets of Los Angeles, sightseeing the local conditions and people, and looking for the "colored egg" that doesn't know whether it exists.

But for now, at least, he has found no more clues.

In addition to a large bounty, Dr. Lane left him with a lot of suspense about "natural disasters" and the higher civilization.

But what is a natural disaster?

It seems that the story is over

……

He took off his helmet and took a deep breath of the cold air in the underground laboratory.

Controlling the drone, AI swayed to his side and a line of text bounced out of the hanging TV.

[Master, do you need me to pour you a glass of water? 0.0]

land boat: "well, please."

The mechanical arm on the wall began to move, and soon handed the cup of cold water to the front of the boat.

Take the cup and drink it. After thinking for a while, Lu Zhou suddenly says.

"AI."

AI: [what's the matter? (BR >

Lu Zhou: "in your database, is there any information about the Kalan civilization? I mean Except from the void memory. "

AI: [I don't think so What can I do for you? This is the case.

After thinking for a moment, the boat shook its head.

“…… Nothing. "

After that, Lu Zhou stood up and walked toward the elevator.

……

The memory of the void has come to an end.

However, the remaining suspense still lingered in the mind of the land boat.

What is the scourge that scares higher civilizations than Kalan?

What kind of crisis is unprecedented?

Including what does the strange droplet flying to the center of the galaxy want to do?

Back in the dean's office, Lu Zhou, sitting at his desk, took out the notebook that he always had with him to record his inspiration and recorded his findings.

The pen stops, the index finger lightly points on the notebook, and after thinking for a while, Lu Zhou chews the previously heard content from that memory repeatedly in his mouth."Natural disaster..."

This is obviously a translated word. In the Jialan civilization or the civilization higher than the Jialan civilization, there should be other corresponding phrases.

In academic research, the most taboo is to carry out research with second-hand materials translated by others. What's more, the content he sees is already third-hand materials.

However, it is almost impossible to study the original meaning of the oracle. The memory sent to him by the system has translated all languages except modal particle into Chinese that he can understand.

What's more, with the current level of science and technology of human civilization, it's hard to translate the contents of the oracle.

"Now the only thing we can be sure of is that the system is not from the Karan civilization..."

Even if we find human civilization, we will not take it seriously.

Not to mention state-level behaviors, even corporate behaviors should consider costs and benefits, let alone rise to the height of the whole civilization.

Regardless of aesthetic differences, compared with other planets in the universe, except for an atmospheric environment, the resources on the earth are not so rich, and the development is more difficult than other planets with low gravity and no atmospheric environment.

It's hard to imagine that a civilization that can create a world around them will cling to earth like planets. No matter what gas resources or fresh water are needed, they can be collected from special glacial planets or gas planets, and the efficiency is much higher, and even a series of processing procedures such as "purification" can be avoided.

Let alone spend so much effort to help a group of "ants" to improve technology and life.

This kind of behavior, which is only done by the xenophiles, is more like the "higher civilization" that sends strange drops of warning to other civilizations, which may be done.

But it's back to the original problem.

What is the purpose of higher civilization?

Or -

are they the so-called void?

After thinking for a long time without any clue, Lu Zhou had to record this series of guesses for the time being.

There is a sequence for everything. Obviously, the work on 750 GeV signal is much more urgent than exploring the secrets and strange drops of the void.

Now the whole physics world is expecting him to come up with enough amazing clues. Even if he doesn't think about himself, he has to give some confidence to those who believe in himself.

After hesitating for a long time, Lu Zhou finally took out his mobile phone and made several phone calls. After several setbacks, he contacted Professor Zhang Tianming, researcher of the Institute of high energy physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who is in charge of the "Ali plan".

The gravitational wave observatory in Tibet, which started construction in 2017 and first experimented in 2020, is probably the original one with the highest altitude in the world.

Although there was no great hope, Lu Zhou asked Professor Zhang for the observation data of gravitational waves.

Even as a pastime of leisure time.

It's better to do something than nothing.
