Captain wakes up 100,000 year later

225. 75. Dimensional Core Identity 3

The captain has restrained his emotions to the fullest extent. It's like you've been cut.

“I understand there are enemies. Who are they and what does it mean to collect taxes? ”

The captain asks again.

“We don't know much about our enemies. When there was hope that we could defeat all of the aliens through multiple new weapons and iterative terraforming, they intervened directly with us. We know that they destroyed and destroyed all of our civilizations at once. Perhaps it was the collapse of the Higgs field, which has a light-year category, or our physical phenomenon, in the sense that it was all over at once. We don't know anything."

It was consistent with the testimony of the ghosts created by the traps that were floating around the planet of Companion 8. The last of them saw the captain. The substance deforms strangely and strangely, shrinking indefinitely and finally exploding. Total change to the cosmic constant. If that illiterate power had destroyed the world, how would we fight back?

"It's just that we space drifters are so lucky to be alive · · Right now we don't know that they came from ‘out of the observable universe' · exactly ‘out of the contactable universe'. ”

[In an untouchable universe?]

"Yes... in a universe so far beyond warp technology..."

The universe is enormously vast and unimaginably far.

The universe is so vast that the light that began after the Big Bang is almost infinitely wide that it did not reach Earth. This was the definition of an observable universe. In other words, people had no idea what was in the universe that light had not yet reached.

Infinite succession of majestic darkness. Who dares to measure infinity?

But with incredible advancements in technology, people can run faster than light.

We were able to reach the galaxies close together.

Nevertheless, there were areas that were physically impossible to reach.

This was because there was a point where the universe expanded faster than all possible speeds in humans.

Such a place was referred to as the "contactless universe.”

“This is the worst scenario imaginable. In an untouchable outer space, an alien race that's more advanced than us destroyed humanity in an instant? Did HED know about this? ”

“We don't know that. It is clear that HED purposely summoned early alien events to strengthen their power and form a platform for harbor power. Do you remember the early days of the aliens? Have you seen them? ”

The captain nods instead of talking.

He was there when the thick bulkheads of the base flew away and the Earth first ran red with alien impact.

“Records show that the Earth was ruling as a loose alliance with the United Nations National Board of Directors until it happened. Acting on the stars closest to the solar system, they were trying to develop a peaceful and sustainable competition in space with motto around the universe."

The old man recalled the past.

"But after the aliens showed up, the game had changed in a flash. The Human Effectiveness Council (HED), which calls for humanity to strengthen and win the war, has taken control of the regime. We don't know if this process was a coup or a peaceful transfer with information control. ”

The captain recalled that moment. He said.

“Yingyang was at peace. I assure you, I was alive at the time. ”

“ · · ·. He said he was clearly stuck on a timeline. ”

My hands were a little shaky because I was eager to think about coffee. The captain holds out his other hand and says,

“At first, I thought it was just a little collision outside the solar system. But shortly after, humanity had to boil the Earth's oceans and incinerate them. At that time, all of humanity looked down at the burning and rotting Earth and vowed to take revenge on the aliens. Before that, we assembled an army with unified forces that we never could have imagined. There was a military conscription and militarized the entire solar system. ”

Po shouts in the background.

“Captain, it was then. It was the first time HED brought in a dimensional core. You said you could win with this. ”

The captain nods and replies.

“That's when it was. HED showed us this incredible report of energy called the Dimensional Core. It was more powerful than any human being could ever make. unless you dye the whole sun. But the core was really small. And with tremendous power, I was able to connect with all the materials. That's why we fought the aliens and got our computing power. and they conquered many stars, they terraformed them, and they built space highways. the warp line that your colony was on. ”

The device has allowed civilization to multiply exponentially.

The project that made the moon Martryoshka Brain was a success.

“Ah.. yes.. the warp line · · we learned that it was initially a means to activate space transportation.. but it was · cough, cough. ”

While speaking, the chairman suddenly stopped working.

[Target Soul Lost. No regeneration. No conscious and artificial brain waves detected.]

The captain looks around. The chairman ordered it. The next soul opens its mouth. It was a young man's voice earlier. It was the voice that calmed them quietly when the other spirits struck out.

“I'll tell you what's next. The United Nations has focused all their minds on building the ultimate war machine. HED was dedicated to making a machine called the Doomsday Machine. Now, I wondered why it was necessary to deal with the aliens, but they were also trying to deal with the enemies beyond. The machine was intended to shock the physical structure of ultrastring theory by installing a particle accelerator of scale around the solar system. The warp line is a structure built to inject energy into the particle accelerator. ”

The captain replies.

“From the looks of things we're still alive, it looks like the Earth Alliance succeeded in their last attack. even though the shape of the universe is distorted in every way. ”

“Well, I'm not sure this looks like it's alive. But you know what, doc? The Earth and all the other worlds were completely destroyed. There were only colonies left, like all of us, far away. Whether it was our attack or theirs, humanity was destroyed, and they abandoned us and left us to do their job. How many people are left in this universe? Are we the last?”

The captain watches them quietly and says,

“Yet, there is a world where people live. The descendants of civilization created a virtual universe and migrated there. ”

“Is this the holographic world? A world where you put lenses and goggles on your face and you get caught up in a game? Oh, my God, that's not real. ”

The captain shakes his head.

The Hologram World they thought was like a virtual reality game.

But the world the captain saw was not a virtual reality game, but an infinite multidimensional world made under the name 'staircase’.

Not this universe, another universe. A strange world, perhaps a lump of Parallel Worlds. Knights, dragons, magic, and even strange creatures and aliens.

“We're still trying to figure out what it was. Obviously, we've just created another physical universe in the physical universe. Maybe it's the application of astronomical energy and black hole technology in the process, but they're -- It has become a source of power for me and you to talk. ”

“Our · · · Conversation with us · · ·? ”

“Aren't you a little tired? They wouldn't have been able to save you without them. ”

The captain was silent there. They didn't know they were spirits.

I didn't have to scratch it to make a sponge. The moment they realized they were already dead, they might be completely destroyed again because of their body's awkwardness and heterogeneity.

The captain was able to talk to them later, hear their colonies and so on. But I didn't hear anything for sure. At some point, they identified a shortage of power for Colony AI, CRISPR. The engineers there were incorrigible defects. It was a matter of getting help from the local unit forces.

After all, only the engineers and scholars were left and all the members were frozen. And the people on these committees didn't know what happened after that.

At some point, the AI would have gone wild, the AI would have swept with the other AIs, roaming the warp line and tracking down all forces approaching the presence of the Old World Alliance.

“Thank you all. I know a lot because of you. It's a little clearer where I need to go. ”

The captain greets them. They look at each other with a sad smile.

“Are we going to continue to be hibernated? It's hard to expect our brains to be preserved for this long. What happens to us? ”

It was the voice of the woman I felt earlier. The captain said, trying to give you the warmest voice and reliability possible.

“Don't worry. We will meet again in due course. ”

“· · ·.. Yes. ”

She closes her eyes and lies back down, as if comforted by the captain's words. Other androids lay down with their eyes closed. And Tyrant said,

[All the accident circuits of the target souls have stopped. Freeze. We have confirmed complete extinction of the souls.]

Po closes his eyes and nods. My eyes were bloodshot and my little tears fell.

The captain also looks up at the sky for a moment. The black universe shows itself in a cold, frozen universe, with no stars present.

But it wasn't all over.

There is a shining blue star in the dark universe. A star completely covered by metal spheres.

The earliest star. Alphazeta.

Though their souls were lost, the captain thought of many souls living in the Alphazeta.

The captain was not alone.

* * *

“Wow, look at the sky. The constellations are gone. ”

“Hey, what's going on? Ow! Ow! Ow! ”

When the child looked up at the sky and pointed, the grandmother panicked and called out to her son. This has happened everywhere. They saw the sky burning red (and it was sunset!) Many of the children who had jumped were embarrassed to see the black sky after a while.

The sunset, of course, was the result of light scattering during the warp, and the blackened sky was a reflection of a world with little light in the cosmic cavity.

“Maybe we should make you an artificial star. ”

“We've prepared a hologram video. ”

In the captain's words, Serra spoke cheerfully. Soon, the moon and starlight made of holograms began to shine brightly in the dark night sky.

The existence of small stars and moons is a great comfort and comfort to people's hearts. Anyone who gets lost in the genes has orders to raise the stars.

“The Pantheon forces must have been early humans flowing directly from space into the Great Crystal. I've been trying to survive in that world for 100,000 years, but there's no way to do it because of the alien contamination. The mercenaries would have killed most of them and taken them on their own. Civilizations were oppressed, and even if they weren't, most of them would have perished without exceeding the deadline. ”

The captain's voice was pathetic. I think I know why the monarch Slovinzian wanted to talk to him so badly.

The more I learned that it was the secret of this Great Crystal, the more I had the power to embarrass people. But one thing was clear: This force is part of a cosmic weapon designed around superstring theory.

And because its power distorted the time in the entire universe, it was the fact that the captain had to go to that mysterious crystal-clear virtual universe in a world of crazy AI.

“Here, I feel like I'm playing a virtual reality game that really dies when I die. ”

The captain grins.

“But I still have to go. Tyrant. Prepare to communicate with Iriya as soon as the warp is ready. ”

[Copy that, Captain.]
