Although the attack of the electromagnetic vortex destroyed nearly 60 star warships of various types of the Tiberians, their main force still existed, which was really insignificant for this huge fleet with thousands of star warships.

After resisting the attack of tens of thousands of giant light balls, the fleet marched toward the urban complex represented by the City of Ten Thousand Realms. Only a few minutes later, they left the asteroid belt and sailed into the Ten Thousand Realms City. The star field where the city of Jing is located.

The magnificent and dazzling city group is overflowing with light and dazzling light. The City of Ten Thousand Realms located in its center is like a pearl on the crown, even more dazzling. The dazzling light illuminates the entire star field as dreamily as day. And confused.

Although the Tiberians' interstellar fleet spreads for thousands of kilometers, it looks much dimmer next to the majestic and grand city clusters. They are like a gathering of fireflies in front of a towering castle, insignificant but full of murderous intent.

Facing the menacing Tiberians, the City of Ten Thousand Realms responded quickly. After the Tiberians' fleet formed an attack formation, tens of thousands of gaseous spaceships flew out from the urban community. They quickly Divided into two columns, inverted

The word "v" lies directly in front of the Tiberian fleet. The characteristics of the streamers, the dazzling light, and the size of the fleet make them no less imposing than the Tiberians.

Although on the holographic screen, Liu Hanyang, Zhou Yun and others could not tell which of the ships on both sides was better, the fleet belonging to the City of Ten Thousand Realms seemed to be superior in terms of fighting will.

They did not confront the Tiberians for long, but went to kill them in a mighty manner... Just when the two sides were about to come into contact, the Tiberians retreated. They changed the course of the fleet and plunged into the asteroid. Bring it inside.

The scene in front of them shocked Liu Hanyang, Zhou Yun and others. It was simply unimaginable that the bloodthirsty and belligerent Taibo people would retreat in the face of battle?

"What happened?" Liu Hanyang looked at the top administrator in confusion. The holographic screen in front of Liu Hanyang and others disappeared. The top administrator did not answer immediately. It twisted slightly, seeming to be dismissive of the question, and seemed to feel that it did not need to answer.

"What I want to ask is, given the nature of the Tiberians, why would they flee without fighting?"

"Being frightened by force and weighing the losses of the battle, of course, the most important thing is that the Taibo people feel that the City of Ten Thousand Realms is not worth their while." The top administrator finally spoke, his tone revealing confidence and determination.

Liu Hanyang shook his head slightly, as if he was still a little confused, but Zhou Yun next to him understood the meaning.

"When did this unfinished battle take place?" Zhou Yun asked.

"About 20 years ago, according to your Earth people's dating standards."

"Twenty years ago..." Zhou Yun lowered her head and thought deeply. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something. Wasn't it 20 years ago when the main fleet of the Taibo Stars headed for the earth?

At that time, they should be passing through here. Prior to this, the Taibo aliens had targeted the earth as the target of their invasion. When passing through this star field, they accidentally discovered the City of Ten Thousand Realms. Their deep space probes detected the existence of civilization, and they dispatched A huge fleet went to conquer, but they never thought that the civilization was not as perfect a star system as they expected.

A permanent and warm star, a rocky planet with low eccentricity, rotating around the star, in the habitable zone with suitable temperature and perfect natural environment is their goal of conquest, not a planet standing in interstellar space , ethereal urban agglomeration.

Even if the city group is conquered, there will still be no ground to stand on, not to mention that the level of civilization of this civilization is not inferior to them, and may be far above them.

After being blocked by the electromagnetic vortex and a confrontation with the fleet dispatched by the City of Ten Thousand Realms, the Taibo people Mingjin withdrew their troops. Instead of risking the fate of the entire fleet and fighting to the death with them, it was better to calm down and retreat in the face of difficulties. According to The established goal - to continue the expedition to the earth is more realistic.

"The Taibo people's goal is a rocky planet with a perfect ecological structure, not a city that stands in deep space and cannot stand. Unfortunately, our earth was chosen by them." Zhou Yun said, speaking It is full of desolation and helplessness.

The doubts hanging over Liu Hanyang's mind dissipated, and Zhou Yun woke him up. In fact, it was not that he had not thought of this. It might be that the belligerence of the Taibo people was too deep in his mind, which made him ignore the problem for a while. Nature.

"Those Boltzmann brains, or Boltzmann consciousness bodies, why do they want to help you? Help you attack the Tiberians?" Liu Hanyang asked the top administrator.

"It's not about helping us. That's their instinctive reaction. Didn't the liaison officer tell you that they will launch an indiscriminate attack on any intruder who breaks into their territory." The top administrator said disdainfully.

Everyone thought about it and found that the liaison officer had indeed told them this, but the new answer gave rise to a new question, that is, what is the relationship between the tadpole-shaped objects in front of them and the tadpole-shaped objects produced after the giant sphere exploded?

Are they just the same race with different levels of civilization, or are they two races with similar forms?

"Can I ask you a question?" Liu Hanyang said.

"Yes, you can ask anything as long as I can answer it."

"What attacks us and the Tiberians is a giant sphere that flashes with arc light. It quickly explodes into an electromagnetic vortex after attacking the target, and at the same time releases tens of thousands of tadpole-shaped objects that are exactly the same as yours... ."

"I would venture to describe you like tadpoles." Zhou Yun quickly interrupted Liu Hanyang, fearing that his straightforwardness would incur the anger of the top administrator.

The liaison officer's anger nearly cost them their lives before, and lessons had to be learned. She raised her voice, but her tone was sincere enough: "I need to emphasize to the Supreme Executive that describing you as a tadpole-like form is not rude, but is due to the fact that your form is similar to one of the tadpoles on our planet. The creatures are very similar. This is just a visual analogy and does not have any..."

"There are also creatures similar to ours on your earth?"

"Yes."

"Did they also create brilliant cities and advanced civilizations like us?" Liu Hanyang felt that the atmosphere suddenly became cold. He looked at Zhou Yun and wanted to give her some advice, but he blushed at the lack of words. He didn't even say a single word from his face.

"There are many kinds of creatures on the earth, rich and diverse, with different shapes. We humans are just a member of the earth's biological diversity. So far, we have not fully mastered all the secrets of tadpoles. Perhaps, they will eventually evolve to your height. , Only then can we have a civilization that matches it." Zhou Yun said unhurriedly.

The top administrator fell silent. The two could not judge his specific expression from his appearance, and anxiety flashed across their faces.

"What you are talking about is a living body, and we are another form between living bodies and non-living bodies. Tadpoles cannot evolve to the height of our civilization, including you humans, of course." The Supreme Executive The officer's words made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

"Then who are you?" Zhou Yun blurted out. She just wanted to divert the topic as quickly as possible and asked casually.

"Just like the lower races that attacked you, we are also Boltzmann brains, another form between living bodies and non-living bodies." The top administrator replied.

Liu Hanyang seemed to be very interested in this question. He stared closely at the top administrator, looking forward to his further answer.

Because of his words

"Another form between the living body and the non-living body" could not completely give him a clear and complete understanding of Boltzmann's brain or Boltzmann's consciousness.

Of course, he had heard about the theory of Boltzmann's brain as early as when he was studying for his doctorate, but he did not study it in depth.

According to the second law of thermodynamics: In natural processes, the total chaos and total stability of an isolated system will not decrease.

In other words, if the universe is regarded as an isolated system, then as time goes by, the entropy of the universe will continue to increase, developing from order to disorder. When the entropy of the universe reaches its maximum value, the entropy of the universe will All other effective energy has been converted into heat energy, and the temperature of all materials has reached a state of thermal equilibrium.

We will not discuss the ultimate fate of the universe for the time being. In the above process, an isolated system, that is, the entire process of the development of the universe from low entropy to entropy increase, will definitely be accompanied by the transformation of various energies such as motion and life. This is exactly what each Species of galaxies include the basis for the evolution, evolution, and development of various life forms.

It is generally believed that life is a low-entropy state, which is a kind of counter-entropy in a sense. According to the second law of thermodynamics, the existence of life seems to be contrary to the overall development of the universe, but if life is regarded as: we The observed low-entropy universe comes from the random fluctuations of the high-entropy universe. Large fluctuations can cause a state of very low entropy.

Although the probability is also very low, it will still happen on the vast scale of the universe, and our own existence also comes from the low-entropy world brought about by such fluctuations.

To sum up, since the universe can give birth to various forms of life, of course it is not limited to carbon-based life, but also silicon-based life, sulfur-based life, etc., then many forms of Boltzmann may also be born in the universe brain.

Therefore, a conjecture put forward by physicist Ludwig Boltzmann: If the known low-entropy universe is derived from the fluctuation of entropy, then there should also be many low-entropy self-awarenesses in the fluctuation. For example, lonely brains are named Boltzmann brains.

The above is Liu Hanyang's superficial understanding of Boltzmann's brain. Now that he has truly encountered Boltzmann's brain in the universe, he hopes to get a more comprehensive answer.
