The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and a cold breath condensed in the air, exuding the smell of death.
Zhou Yun knew very well that with the dark matter protective suit destroyed and the protective light network almost ineffective, she, Liu Hanyang, and Xiao Hang had lost their basic protective capabilities, and the situation was very dangerous.
Not to mention the 50 or so heavily armored combat mechas in front of them, even the "gusty wind" they had just fought would wipe them out in an instant.
Even if you can fight to the death, the final result can only be that you die like a moth to a flame.
Such resistance is meaningless.
"What I just meant was not inaction. If you can get rid of the gravity of the electromagnetic vortex without any effort, why not just sit back and enjoy the results?" Zhou Yun said very slowly. While she was coping, her mind was spinning rapidly.
What she just said was just a stopgap measure, and she was thinking of a solution.
"The part of the wreckage we are in has no power, and the gravitational agitation of the electromagnetic vortex will increase the chance of large-scale collision with other wreckage." The central control system said, its tone was a bit sad, and after a moment of pause, it continued, "In There had been serious collisions before, and the wreckage you're in now is what's left after colliding with another larger piece of wreckage, which was even bigger."
Obviously, the central control system has never given up its efforts to save this part of the wreckage. Although all the Tiberians above have died, the more than 50 incomplete mechas that survived still have the significance of saving, including itself.
As an intelligent entity that exists in a non-living form, they also have a strong desire to survive. Therefore, when Xiao Hang proposed the "idea" to help them get rid of the gravity of the electromagnetic vortex, it chose to believe and gave up the military attack. After all, survival is That is the first factor they consider.
Although Xiao Hang's rhetoric is also an instinct for survival.
When both sides face the same more powerful enemy, when both sides are in a life-and-death moment, the nature of confrontation will be rapidly weakened, and cooperation seems to be the only way out.
"We will fulfill our commitments, but your threat of force cannot allow us to start our work. We need sincerity." Zhou Yun said.
Ten seconds later, more than 50 mechas put down their weapons, and the violent "gusty wind" became gentle again.
Zhou Yun breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to look at Liu Hanyang and lowered her voice: "Is it possible to use our transport aircraft to drag this wreckage away from the gravitational range of the electromagnetic vortex?"
"Theoretically it is possible, but it is not clear whether the force generated by the transport aircraft can offset the gravity of the electromagnetic vortex. I cannot accurately calculate the gravity value of the latter." Liu Hanyang replied.
After looking around, he continued: "Another important factor is the mass of the wreckage. Its size will also offset part of the force exerted by the transport aircraft."
She nodded, and after looking around, her eyes fell on the 50 incomplete mechas. His eyes followed closely. After staring for a moment, the two looked at each other with a faint smile. From the faces of the two of them, they seemed to have an idea.
Five minutes later, the transport aircraft slowly approached the wreckage where the flight control platform was located, and firmly captured it after releasing five thick ropes.
At the same time, 49 heavily-equipped flying combat mechas of the Tiberians also flew out of the wreckage. Although most of them were missing arms and legs, their power units were not damaged. They were evenly distributed on the back of the wreckage, in the same position as the transport aircraft. same direction.
As three blazing streams of flame spurted out from the three engine nozzles of the transport aircraft, the five thick steel cables were stretched straight. They were stretched almost to the limit, but the huge wreckage of the flight control platform did not move at all.
Suddenly, 49 bright lights lit up one after another in the dark space. They were 49 heavily equipped flying combat mechs. The long flames on their backs were like 49 waterfalls of flowing fire, gorgeous and hot.
As the 49 thrusts condensed into a more powerful forward thrust, the wreckage where the flight control platform was located slowly moved forward under the joint force of the heavily equipped flying combat mechas and the transport aircraft...
Three minutes later, it finally broke free from the gravitational constraints of the electromagnetic vortex and appeared alone in the dark starry sky.
(This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 463 Boltzmann Brain
Five thick steel cables fell off the wreckage. The transport aircraft recovered them and maneuvered to the other side. 49 heavily equipped flying combat mechs also returned to the wreckage one after another.
"You go, the war between us is over." The central control system said.
Without waiting for Liu Hanyang, Zhou Yun and Xiao Hang to answer, more than 50 mechas were seen withdrawing into the flight control platform, and the "violent wind" in the air turned into a long ribbon, winding and flying towards the metal gate. go.
"Wait a minute!" Zhou Yun took a step forward and said.
"I understand your request." The voice of the central control system came from inside the metal gate. After flashing rapidly a few times, it continued, "The drag just now consumed about 80% of the energy of your transport aircraft. Since You have helped us, and we must show something. I have ordered two mechas to bring two energy pools to replenish energy for you."
Zhou Yun looked out the window and found two bright lights flying slowly towards the transport aircraft...
"Also, regarding the matching problem of energy pools, the two mechas will also solve it for you."
"Thank you. The purpose of our boarding is to find out the truth about the attack on our fleet, and of course your fleet as well."
"Are you talking about the electromagnetic vortex that attacked us?"
"Yes, there should be more than one electromagnetic vortex. They attacked our fleets indiscriminately. I want to know which civilization launched them? Why did your fleet appear in the star field where our voyage fleet is located? I Is the Fang fleet still alive?”
Zhou Yun's series of rhetorical questions caused the central control system to fall into silence. The arc light on the surface of the spherical supercomputer that represented it stopped surging and its brightness became dim.
After about a few minutes, bursts of arc light surged on its surface again, and its brightness also increased a lot.
"We have encountered an attack from a self-aware body that exists independently of life in the universe. To explain it using your earthly physical concepts, it is the Boltzmann brain." Its tone revealed heaviness and helplessness.
"Boltzmann brain!?" Zhou Yun said in shock.
Obviously, she knew very little about the Boltzmann brain mentioned by the central control system. Xiao Hang on the side was even more confused, and Liu Hanyang was thoughtful. He seemed to know something about it, but he could not compare it with enough. The electromagnetic vortex that destroyed both fleets was connected.
"What is a Boltzmann brain?" Zhou Yun asked.
"It is a kind of self-awareness, an existence that exists widely in the universe and is different from living bodies."
The words of the central control system awakened Liu Hanyang. He remembered a point put forward by physicist Ludwig Boltzmann: self-consciousness is a low-entropy state. If the known low-entropy universe comes from entropy, Fluctuations, then many low-entropy self-awarenesses will also appear in the fluctuations.
Although the entire process of the universe is a state of increasing entropy, from order to disorder until it develops into heat death, throughout the life of the universe, it will rise and fall just like the waves of the ocean. Along with the reflux, there will be a low-entropy state somewhere or more somewhere.
Some people believe that life is a counter-entropic existence. If it is widely distributed in the universe in a low-entropy state, then self-awareness that also exists in a low-entropy environment will also be widely distributed in the universe.
The two may not be related, but they are both external manifestations, except that the Boltzmann brain is another external form that is different from the existence of living bodies. Under a certain time scale, they will also Birth, death, and existence in the universe over and over again.
"Is the Boltzmann brain a weapon?" Zhou Yun asked.
"Strictly speaking, they are not weapons, but any foreign ships that trespass into their territory will be regarded as an act of aggression and will be mercilessly destroyed!" the central control system replied.
The three people listened quietly. They noticed that the central control system used "they" instead of "it". Does it indicate that Boltzmann did not have only one brain, but several, or more?
How are they related to each other? Are they independent individuals or an aggregate? Or several aggregates?
"So far, we have discovered a total of three electromagnetic fields (this chapter is not yet finished!)
Chapter 463 Boltzmann Brain
Vortices, what do they have to do with what you call the Boltzmann brain? Also, what is the relationship between the three electromagnetic vortices? "Xiao Hang asked two questions in one breath. He seemed a little impatient.
Eager to find out the truth, he became anxious.
"The electromagnetic vortex is the external manifestation of Boltzmann's brain. It is composed of trillions of independent self-awareness bodies. You can regard them as an aggregate of consciousness and a certain social form. Three electromagnetic vortices are three They are independent consciousness aggregates and are not subordinate to each other.”
"Can they be regarded as three civilizations, or three races?" Liu Hanyang asked.
"It can be thought that, as I said before, they have a very strong concept of territory and will launch an attack on any ship that intrudes into the territory without authorization. During the attack, trillions of consciousnesses will form a powerful electromagnetic effect. , the energy contained in them is enough to destroy everything, but after the attack is carried out, they will gradually wither away until they completely disappear."
The three of them were a little confused. They really couldn't understand this destructive attack of Boltzmann's consciousness. Perhaps, this was the mystery of the universe, a universe that they could not fully understand.
The mystery about the electromagnetic vortex was solved, and the central control system explained to the three people what happened after the Tiberian star battleship and five other star battleships flew away from Fida.
It turned out that after the six Tiberian interstellar battleships completely annihilated the scout fleet, they aimed their attacks at the voyage fleet. In the process of pursuing the voyage fleet, they mistakenly entered the star field where Boltzmann's consciousness was located.
The fleets of both sides were attacked by Boltzmann's consciousness at the same time. After losing their troops, the Tiberians did not give up. They thought it was just an accident and all they encountered were one or two Boltzmann's consciousness aggregates. , as everyone knows, the fleets of both sides have entered the community of Boltzmann's consciousness aggregates.
Both sides faced dozens of Boltzmann consciousness aggregates, so it was not surprising that they were destroyed.
"Where is the voyage fleet? Have they all been destroyed?" Zhou Yun asked eagerly.
"You Earthlings are very brave and a respectable opponent. I detected that when your voyage fleet was jointly attacked by three Boltzmann consciousness aggregates, there were 3 decoys composed of 6 interstellar ships. The echelon actively resisted the attack, and they successfully covered the main fleet's withdrawal from this star field."
The three of them breathed a long sigh of relief. This was the outcome they most hoped for. Their joy was also mixed with sadness and regret.
A shuttle flew out from the wreckage, carrying Liu Hanyang, Zhou Yun and Xiao Hang and slowly flying towards the transport aircraft parked in deep space.
There was still the head of Mecha XY2653 and its incomplete body in the shuttle, but the three of them did not abandon it.
