——Let’s talk about “that ideal”.
"I am an outsider who came here from a place above the chasm. My original purpose was to find something, but I have basically given up on it now. You don't need to delve into my origins."
--expedition. expedition. expedition.
"To explain in advance, because it is difficult to determine the nature of the people who arrived here first, I have prepared three different records to convey different requirements. Please do not try to decipher the information in the other two records, because it is impossible to succeed of."
——Are we still moving forward tomorrow?
"Then, considering that the time difference between here and the outside is accelerating, and the station I placed at the outermost edge is about a hundred stars away from here. Even at the moment when I am recording, you are at a position a hundred stars away from me, By the time you discovered this place, more than a thousand standard hours had passed. This is far beyond the amount of time I planned."
——Will there be another tomorrow for us tomorrow?
"In other words, if you successfully find this record, then I will most likely be dead."
For a brief moment, thoughts about the past paused.
"The reason... I am not going to explain. For you, my purpose has no reference value. However, in order to let you understand why this place has become the situation you see. The following will make a brief statement of the investigation conclusion. First point--"
From a distant journey, back to the current mission.
"The members living in this base are closely related to the history of the formation of the collapse zone. It can be said that they did it, or it can be said that it was done by the so-called 'previous life'. They are typical of using electromagnetic waves to record consciousness and transplant new bodies. Technical model - There is no time to discuss the essential issues of life and information recording here, and there is no need to get entangled. Before I carried out the nerve current removal and life-sustaining virus implantation, I had a communication with their leader , confirmed all the speculations - in a nutshell, the collapse zone was once a conventional galaxy with an extremely low spiritual field value, and the current situation was caused by their technical errors."
No big deal. Just a necessary sacrifice in exploration. The leaders of the second generation sequence will definitely say this.
"The second point is the crimes committed after the collapse zone was formed. If they are all described as slavery, it is impossible to summarize the complexity of this ecology. But if judged by external standards, the people living in this base It is an exploiter, and this is unquestionable. It does not disclose the origin of this environment, nor does it share past technological achievements. On the contrary, it is packaged as religion and rules... There is no need to go into details about the specific methods, please refer to external cases. "
It's not even self-deprecating. But when I said this sentence, I did think of a certain hometown. The secondary axis, which had not yet fully adapted, was slightly disturbed, and the buccinator muscles twitched reflexively.
"When I first came here, I didn't intend to conflict with them, so I hid the fragments that lived on the edge of the controlled area, which they called the 'Frost House'. By comparing the legends of different areas, it was inferred that this place was occupied by They are treated as a mining area - by the way, if you take the midpoint of the line connecting Frost House and here as the horizontal level, and walk half a star in the direction pointed by the upper corner, you will reach the 'New Life House'. The people cultivated there Even the organs used for replacement, the source of conventional experimental materials will most likely come from there. If you want to understand the physiological structure of the immortals, it is most accurate to study the people there."
"After living in the Frost House for a short period of time, I gradually became interested in the members of these bases. Although they are not really basic researchers, there is no problem if they plan to leave here. Even if the group is restricted Due to their physiological structure, they can slowly push up the control area and maintain it at the shallower level of the gap through generational replacement. In this way, it is expected to establish fixed-point communication with the alliance and obtain more modern resources. However, it is not seen that they have This kind of attempt. It’s hard for me to understand why they stubbornly clung to this fragment of earth while allowing it to continue to fall. In order to investigate this problem, they occupied Frost House and launched an attack on their main base. A tentative attack. As a result, the trial works were repulsed, and their existing technical capabilities were fully evaluated. So I came in person the second time. As you can see, the results of the invasion were initially understood after communication. The motivation for their behavior was determined, and it was determined that they would be of no benefit to the long-term development of this area. By the time this work record was made, all personnel had been cleared of neuroelectronics."
No life was taken away. But it is no different from the destruction of the body. Is a change in thinking death? So, the people who disappeared on that day...
"——But please don't kill them rashly, because some of them have backup programs hidden on the surface. If the life signal here is interrupted, the backup program will be activated. New immortals with 'past life memories' will appear. Suppose you easily killed a defenseless person before getting this record... This is also your choice. I wish you good luck."
Are lost thoughts death? Can changed thinking be restored?
"There is no need to retain the members of this base based on their behavior. However, it is also impossible to predict whether you will implement extermination purges. Based on the above considerations, some base personnel have been preserved in advance and transferred to other locations. Once they If there is an extreme population decline in the area under my control, my protection program will immediately kill the remaining personnel and activate their backup reincarnations. I sincerely recommend that you exercise restraint and not do anything that is not conducive to the overall interests."
Didn't find it funny. But he still grinned menacingly according to the draft. Theoretically, this is to increase the expected risk to the recipients of the footage and reduce the likelihood that they will engage in aggressive behavior in civilian areas.
"And, the third point."
The exhortation comes to the final part. Taking the time to preserve this true original video record, the core message is the final exhortation. If the alliance members who come here are not fugitives or weirdos, they are most likely the Thirteen Sects of the White Tower who are pursuing knowledge.
"Stop the investigation here. It's meaningless. What happens here, apart from repeatedly verifying the irregularity and death-oriented nature of life, is nothing worth recording. It is expected that this area will continue to accelerate until the Complete separation from external time results in the phenomenon of anti-infinity. In other words, once the boundary is exceeded, it is equivalent to falling into a sea of chaos from which there is no escape.”
All intonations and expressions were adjusted to preset conditions before recording began, and the spiritual field blocker was enabled. It is impossible to detect lies from the observation of physiological reactions, and most spells with divination properties will also show unknown results.
"I, due to many things I have observed in the past, believe that it is no longer necessary to maintain individual life. I have no intention of seeking spiritual atonement, nor do I intend to fall into the stimulation of material desires. Therefore, after completing this record, I will use the word "Crossing the Chasm" The implementation of the method will be terminated automatically. At that time, all hubs will be automatically destroyed. Bring this recording device to a network coverage area, and my death report will automatically be sent to..."
There was a pause. Thinking about what to say. What was told at that time, what was believed. expedition. Move forward no matter the cost. Conquer all the unknown. What is that for?
One day, when the journey reaches its end, our career will——
"……at home."
Bloom and bear fruit.
"These are all my messages."
He stood up from his chair and ended recording with the device.
