Chapter 406 - 406: Origin
What was the void? Perhaps Li Wenyuan would once say, “This is a natural disaster in the universe. It will invade and destroy the universe.”
But now, he would only say that the void was a Recycling Bin that stored everything in the universe from the past to the present.
It wasn’t just this universe. Other universes had gone through countless cycles even earlier, including the last era where the Firechaser was.
The void was like a Recycling Bin in the computer system. It stored trash that the system did not need for the time being. It could be restored or eliminated at any time.
The series of data he received from the void, including the unintelligible parts, were all parts of the universe.
It could be a civilization, a stone, or even a molecule that had become a part of the redundant data.
Li Wenyuan believed that after the Big Collapse began, although everything in the universe returned to the singular point, the records related to it did not dissipate with the destruction. Instead, they were returned to the Recycling Bin in the void.
Perhaps it was because the foreign will that was mentioned needed to check these things, but they were not eliminated with the restart.
This was also the reason why he could obtain a large amount of redundant data from the void. Although it was a Recycling Bin, it was a huge database.
He now understood that the data that he could interpret were specially left behind by those civilizations.
This might prove that these civilizations, including humans, already had a certain level of understanding of the essence of this void and the essence of the void. It could prevent the information they wanted to leave behind from being turned into unreadable redundant data by the Recycling Bin.
From the scale of time, it couldn’t be said that they came from the past because after the universe entered the singular point state, time itself was meaningless. It was impossible to measure first and second.
However, based on the time dimension of the universe that Li Wenyuan was currently in, this information was indeed a fragment of the past. It was a clue that the civilizations that realized the truth of the world had tried their best to leave behind for the next generation of civilizations.
The diary left behind by the past himself recorded the process of them discovering the void and seriously investigating the essence of this void.
Initially, they thought that the void was a kind of disaster because after using all the detection methods, they realized that they couldn’t find any physical properties from the void.
It was like a real void where even time did not exist.
However, after using special detection methods, such as understanding it as data and finding an interface, the humans at that time realized that this was a Recycling Bin. They needed a specific method to extract it.
The “him” didn’t mention how they found the specific method. He just changed the topic and came to the interface area.
As expected, the void interface was Wound. The name and characteristics were exactly the same.
The similarity that appeared here again reminded Li Wenyuan of many things in the past, as well as himself with the same name.
After thinking of the information left behind by the Extractor in the void, Li Wenyuan grabbed the keyword.
“Some of the random numbers that make up the universe…Does that mean certain special data?”
If the universe was an experiment, it was impossible to empty the data and start from scratch every time it was restarted. Control variables were applicable, and one of them was definitely workable data that needed to be preserved and verified.
Then, could this large number of similarities from the Milky Way to the Milky Way, from the former universe to the current universe be because these similarities were already verified workable data, so they would appear again in every cosmic experiment?
For the Milky Way to have so many similarities with the outside world, it was very likely that humans had discovered something and were verifying it.
“Now, there’s still the biggest question. What should the final outcome of this cosmic experiment be? How far does that foreign will have to go to complete its great work of data creation of the world?”
“Isn’t this enough?”
Li Wenyuan’s gaze followed the spaceship’s external detector and covered the entire galaxy. At the same time, he also captured the starlight of the universe that was even further away.
The photons were still moving, and the heat was also radiating from high to low. The celestial body was rotating, and the star was also using nuclear reactions to release energy.
In his understanding, all of this was the foundation stone of the world. No one would have thought that these foundation stones of the world were actually just some undetectable underlying characters. Even now, he still felt that it was unbelievable.
This was indeed a cognition that was enough to distort the worldview. And from his mechanical intelligence, which had experienced life, no matter how he looked at it, the universe was real and corporeal, not a virtual world.
“…Perhaps this is the height that civilization stands at… Letting data materialize into a world…I really don’t dare to think about it.”
He was already lamenting in his heart. Even though he already had the Pillar of Creation that was suspected to be capable of creation, it was still insufficient in front of such an existence.
“In that case, my name is actually a special statistic? How interesting…”
Facing this name that had existed in the past, Li Wenyuan was interested. He didn’t know if it was because the name was special or because the person with this name was special that this name could still appear.
However, after sighing with emotion, Li Wenyuan didn’t feel any despair because of the distortion of the world, just like he himself did in the past.
[The Big Collapse is coming. I’m not sure if the universe will experience a similar cycle in the future, but this information might help you better understand the end of the universe. Perhaps your side is also the Big Collapse?]
This Li Wenyuan sounded very happy, as if he was very happy with the feeling of leaving a record for future generations. He seemed to feel that this was something that only a pioneer could do.
[We also tried our best to test some data that will definitely appear and record them completely.]
[We can’t keep these things in Big Collapse no matter what, but isn’t the Recycling Bin a very good place?]
[Although there is a lot of trash, there will be a day when they will be found.]
[As long as you have these fixed data, you will be able to obtain a better origin during the next cycle..]
