Frost Wings - Chapter 463

Having said that, as an important symbol for distinguishing civilizations, the importance of history and culture seems to be suddenly important at this time. For example, this extraterrestrial civilization visitor in front of Baihe, they are the latest in history among the many intelligent civilizations in the local galaxy group. One of them, what surprised Baihe was that they had a shorter civilization history than Earthlings, and they were actually amino intelligences living in ammonia water.

However, this only surprised Baihe for a while. After all, the intelligent carriers at this level are almost the same. His contact with Baihe is quite interesting. It stems from the territorial conflict between the two sides. These particle-scale civilizations have the ability to invade matter on a small scale. , this discovery made Bai He feel a little bad. According to the other party, in addition to some extreme regions with violent cosmic activity, many of the local galaxy clusters are ‘occupied’ in this way;

Imagining what it looks like, Bai He thought for a while and was extremely frightened: for example, a large creature like human beings, maybe in daily life, there are so many sophon creatures mixed with all kinds of things that everyone is not aware of. Every now and then, there are several sophon civilizations parasitizing some of the molecules in the body, watching the every move of these backward civilizations with great interest.

The reality is obviously not as bad as Baihe imagined. According to this extraterrestrial civilization, the number of advanced civilizations is not large, and the distribution is extremely sparse. Not every advanced civilization likes to occupy materials, and more civilizations still pay attention to it. Put it on expanding the universe and exploring the unknown.

Baihe had a conversation with him, and the civilization this guy belonged to had developed to the final stage of society—all the scattered individuals of the civilization disappeared, and the flow of information was completely concentrated on this single individual.

It’s hard to imagine what kind of history this civilization has gone through and chose such a way of social clustering after ‘ascension’, but on second thought, what’s so strange about this? The same is true for Baihe’s own organization. Although the individual thinking below has autonomy, this information flow model… Saying that Baihe Technology Company is his independent existence, what is the difference?

It is a group composed of billions of individuals… If each individual is regarded as a fragment of information transmission, why is it not a whole?

Could it be the natural selection of this civilization in its ultimate form?

That would be interesting…

But what does it have to do with yourself?

This is the main service station set up by Baihe on Pluto. In the area the size of the Rubik’s Cube, several virtual spaces as large as the earth have expanded. Baihe sat on the reclining chair, looked at the distant starry sky through the radio telescope, and turned back. Looking at the galaxy-level accelerator being built outside the Oort Cloud, it seems that I have fallen into deep thought.

“Dad, if your bullet hits the dark energy star, you won’t be able to analyze the internal structure. If you get trapped in it, wouldn’t it be over?” Ellie said, “Besides, there are still billions in the solar system. Years of life, you want to emigrate, so what are you in such a hurry to do?”

“The sun has billions of years left, and the universe has only tens of billions of years left~ Ellie, it’s not that simple to find an observer.”

“But does it take that long?” Ellie frowned.

“He is a guy who can create fantasy worlds out of thin air. Of course, we also have this ability now. It’s not too difficult for a sophon-level civilized individual to do this. But we who have this ability, But I still can’t find any clues about him~” Bai He stretched out his limbs in a relaxed manner: “So, I think there is only one more reliable speculation.”

“What?”

“He’s outside the universe.”

“…Father, this is not funny at all.” Allie laughed dryly: “He wants you to find him, so why did he throw you back into this universe?”

“This is probably to test your father and me~ to see if I can break through this universe.” Bai He smiled: “Ai Li, my good daughter, I often think about a question, and now I suddenly have a possible model. “

“Dad, what’s the whimsical idea?” Ellie tilted her head.

Bai He smiled, suddenly picked up the fruit basket on the tea table by his hand, and threw it into the pond next to it.

With a few thuds, water splashed in the pool, and ripples in the shape of a circle echoed around.

“Huh?” Ellie transformed herself and looked at the pool inexplicably.

“Look at those ripples.” Bai He whispered, “Did you see anything?”

“Dad, are you pretending to be mysterious?” Ellie frowned, thought for a while, then turned to look at Baihe: “Wait, Daddy, I seem to understand something, but you should make it clearer.”

“Look at every spreading water pattern as an expanding open universe, what about it?”

“Scared!” Ellie’s eyes widened, her body trembled suddenly, and she took a step back: “Dad, you… this is really a magical idea.”

“Our universe is expanding, and eventually, along with a big split, the cosmic matter it carries ~ let’s call it that for now, it will collide and squeeze with the cosmic matter released by other neighboring universes when it splits~

It’s like the crests of these water ripples squeezed by the edges~ so that a new singularity is formed, just like before the big bang~ and then the crests fall~ the cycle starts again…” Baihe looked at the undulating pond :

“If this model holds true, the universe we live in is a little ripple in the big pond of the wide-area universe, and we, our insignificant specks of dust, can’t even get out of the ripple. Look at you and I, can’t you imagine what an observer might be like?”

Baihe stood up: “If the observer is in this position, then create some real world…”

He grabbed a handful of sand and stones and threw them into the pool: “It’s just an operation like this.”

“…This is really frustrating, Dad.” Ellie was silent for a while: “According to this model, the openness of a single universe can be explained, and the accelerated expansion… Dark energy can be understood as the density of matter in the wide-area universe ranging from From the ‘potential energy’ formed from dense to sparse, the expansion speed of the universe will gradually increase, but the acceleration may gradually decrease! Until the cosmic matter gathered at the edges of several open universes squeezes out a new singularity… But what about entropy? ?…Oh~ Heat death is something of a closed system. If the system is open, its finality will be reflected locally…

In this way, for civilization, some old theories believe that the more idealized ‘closed universe’ is a dead end, and the open universe has a silver lining…” Ellie said: “But Dad, if you want to jump out of the ripples and enter the pool, Such a long timescale, I think, your company…most of the members couldn’t make it, and eventually…”

Her heartless voice finally became a little sad: “Our intellects will all die in eternal decay, leaving only the repetitive and monotonous operation of the machine, including your father, your family, your family, and even you… There is also the possibility.”

Bai He laughed: “So far, what are you afraid of?”

“Is there really nothing to fear?”

“Not to mention the time scale…” Bai He yawned: “As our ‘existence’ extends, its relative length will also become shorter. In the blink of an eye, it is not very impressive that a civilization goes from birth to destruction. Feelings?”

“Dad, your tone is like ‘Oh~ he gave birth~www.mtlnovel.com~ oh~ he died’, obviously without any emotion.” Ellie complained.

Bai He stopped talking, suddenly frowned, and stood up: “Okay, it’s almost there.”

“What?”

“On No. 2, their research on the technology of dark energy loading information has some ideas. With this, we are probably at the edge of the universe~ We can still maintain this kind of ‘existence’.” Baihe said: “We are about to enter – this The company’s cutting-edge technology”

“The diffusion zone at the edge of the universe~ It’s just dad, we can survive in dark energy, but what about after the big decomposition? The expected ‘zero form’ and ‘dimensional vacuum’, we can still find people living there any way?”

“Try it, it’s still a long time.”

Bai He repeated this sentence.

But is it really that long?
