"Void?"

After the quiet murmur fell, the spacious room was quiet for a while.

Instead of urging the matrix, Lu Zhou gave him half a minute to sort out his thoughts.

"Void is a huge concept You can think of it simply as the container of the universe. "

Lu Zhou: "my understanding is the extra dimension beyond the n dimension."

Hearing this, the cold box gave out a dull laugh. It's like the muffled friction sound of two pieces of metal stuck together, the ghost in the quantum computer array continues to whisper.

"Extra dimension beyond n dimension? You're right to understand that Although there is no concept of dimension in the void. "

Listening to the sour voice, Lu Zhou frowned slightly.

"No concept of dimensions?"

This statement not only completely subverted his previous speculation, but also caused him more confusion in his mind.

"That's right," continued the matrix, as the expression on the face of the looking land boat. "The so-called void is pure nothingness, where there is neither the concept of matter nor the scale of time. Life is just a conceptual existence there. It has no entity, not even a serial. "

Lu Zhou: "since there is no entity, how can we prove its existence?"

"The magic of the void is here," matrix continued with a smile and a relaxed taste. "Even if there is darkness or nothingness, even if there is no substance in the life boarding there Occasionally you can still hear a few words floating from the void. "

Even if there is no entity, can it still convey information to the world on the n-dimension?

It took about three seconds to digest the huge amount of information. Lu Zhou tried to refine the information in a simpler language.

In a strict sense, the digital life called "matrix" which is now in front of him is the product of the empty whisper.

Lu Zhou: " So, what is a word from the void? "

"It can be a lot of things, and most of them are useless, just like the noise when you listen to the FM radio at will. Even if there is a very small probability, what you can hear from it will be mostly forgotten as a dream after waking up. But if you don't forget, how much can you get from it and lose something I don't know if you can understand what I mean by that. "

"I can probably understand," continued the boat, after a moment's contemplation and a thoughtful nod, "that's what I've been told before."

Whether it's Professor Abel's suicide note or professor grotendic's formula

It came from the inspiration in the dark, and finally he found the traces left by the void.

Although it was 100 years ago, he never forgot these clues.

"Is it?"

The voice from the case was a little frivolous, as if it heard something interesting. The matrix said in a broken voice, "that's really surprising. But no wonder Since you ask about emptiness, it's also because you know something. "

I don't understand what the accident is, and the boat is not interested in paying attention to the details.

In contrast, he has a more important thing to understand.

"Since you are from the void, have you ever heard of the observer?"

Matrix: "observer? Although I'm not sure if the observer in our understanding is the same thing But they seem to be the only ones who can call themselves that. "

Lu Zhou: "it seems that you know them?"

"Not knowing, just knowing," continued the matrix. "Even in the void, they are absolutely alien. As I said before, there is no physical life or substance in the void, but they keep an independent space in the void and recuperate there with the help of the physical body. "

Lu Zhou: "what is their purpose in the end?"

Matrix voice with a hint of mockery, a faint smile said: "in addition to their own, I'm afraid no one knows. Most of the time, all we can see is a piece of torn space, and a picture that faintly overflows from the space. Obviously, they are very careful to protect their privacy, so that in most cases, even the purest evil will hardly threaten them. "

Lu Zhou: "evil thoughts? There are still good and evil standards in the void? "

"Didn't I say that? Everything in the void is a conceptual existence, whether it is life or non life Maybe they don't have the concept of good and evil, but from your point of view, obviously not everything they do will make you happy. "

After hearing this, Lu Zhou pondered for a long time.

Before that, he had been thinking about what the "natural disaster" in the mouth of the higher civilization that claimed to be the observer was. However, even after several crises of civilization extinction, he still could not see the shadow of the disaster that might be brewing into the universe.To be honest, are those observers reliable?

Even though they gave him the ability to explore the truth, the essence of the truth itself is doubt.

At this time, the land boat suddenly thought of general Reinhardt, as well as the extinct civilization in the old universe called the Kalan Empire, and all three memories he had seen.

If you think about it carefully, none of the civilizations in these three memories seems to have been destroyed by the natural disaster itself

But in addition to the first memory that he could not understand, in the other two memories, two civilizations did make almost the same choice in the face of the disaster that is said to sweep the universe -

that is, sending the selected people to the center of the universe Or the center of their galaxy, as if there were all the answers.

"Have you heard of natural disasters?"

"Natural disaster?" For the first time, he was confused about the problem of land boats, and the matrix continued, "do you mean an earthquake or a tsunami? Or the extinction of stars. "

"No," Lu said, shaking his head. "It's bigger than the disaster in the cognition of all civilizations. It will spread across the whole universe."

"So how do you know it exists?" The matrix asks, "according to you, people who have seen it should be destroyed Otherwise, your statement doesn't hold. "

"Because of the destruction of the old universe," continued the ship, looking at the console in front of it, in a serious tone, "and they managed to escape by escaping into the void."

This time, the matrix has been silent for a long time.

It seems to be calculating something. It took about five minutes before it went on.

"Interesting The people you are talking about are the ones I am talking about hiding in the cracks in space. "

The boat nodded its head lightly.

"They call themselves observers, and I remember they mentioned that they live in a space rift that takes the void from the old universe."

More than that, they claim to have parsed all knowledge about the old universe and to be the true omniscient At least that's what they claim.

"That's so interesting..." There is a little excitement in the sour metal fricative sound, which is hard to recognize. Matrix continues in his special voice, "they are the survivors of some destroyed World I will say that they are completely different, and they are definitely not the aborigines in the void. "

Staring at the computer screen, Lu continued.

"In fact, my guess is that the natural disaster should be a threat from the void Like you. "

"Me? Are you sure you're not kidding? " Matrix smiled and said, "what's good for me to destroy you?"

Lu Zhou: "I mean similar It may be much larger in scale and worse in attitude. "

And the starting point of the outbreak may be in an interstellar civilization that is many times more developed than the earth civilization, and the aftermath of its disaster will also be far beyond the boundaries of their own civilization, spreading to a more distant world

These possibilities are not completely absent.

At least now, the land boats have been able to confirm that they are not alone in this universe, and are likely to be the first echelon

He also learned the news from the observer.

"It's not impossible to say that, but I'm not sure you can find the answer," said the matrix thoughtfully

Lu Zhou: "why?"

Matrix: "because even if I come from the void, my understanding of it is quite limited And for a person living in a bottle, don't mention how difficult it is to see the world outside the bottle. "

Lu Zhou: "but it's not hopeless, is it?"

Matrix: "of course, you're not hopeless, but there's very little hope in it. And I have to remind you that this is a very dangerous thing. "

Lu Zhou: "danger?"

Matrix: "yes It's not that I'm alarmist. Even if I overhear a few words floating from the void, your civilization will be on the verge of extinction. It's obviously proved that it's not a good place for you. Even the disaster itself is likely to be caused by the observation of the void. Do you still remember? The experiment you mentioned countless times. "

Lu Zhou frowned slightly: "physics experiment about extra dimension?"

The matrix said straightforwardly: "yes, in general, it is impossible for people in the bottle to see the world outside the bottle But now that you see it, something must have been opened. "

Looking at the lifeless boat, matrix continued.

"Remember a word, though you have probably heard of it."

"When you gaze at the void, the void also stares at you."
