"Director, I want to tell you something. Don't be afraid..."
"Find a seat by yourself..." The director was currently sucking noodles and looking intently at the screen of light on the table. The Thunder Angel floating beside her was flashing a faint blue light. The director said without raising his head: "Yes. Come on, there is nothing in this world that I am afraid of. If nothing happens, don’t mysteriously bother me to watch A Fei’s Inspiring Life.”
"I wrote this in my report yesterday." Wu Ming pulled up his chair and sat across from the director. He put his hands on the table and said seriously: "I experienced the end of the world yesterday..."
Perhaps it was Wu Ming's serious expression and tone that played a role. The color of Thunder Angel changed from blue to green and floated to the desk. The director also stopped sucking and eating noodles and straightened up and stared at Wu Ming: "The end of the world is how is it like?"
"Have you ever watched sci-fi disaster movies? It's the kind of apocalypse that once it appears, it may destroy human civilization and cause the collapse of order, and even push the entire race into the abyss of destruction... Oh yes, apocalyptic novels are basically This is the subject of my writing." Wu Ming described his experience yesterday to the director seriously: "That day I was going to teleport home directly from the shadow world, but something went wrong with the teleportation and I landed in the jungle growing on the ruins of the city. There were all demonized plants catalyzed by the Tree of Life, and there was even a pea shooter. The power of the pea pellets could almost break thinner glass. Fortunately, Siegfried wiped out those demonized plants with a dragon roar, and then We were like…”
"Pfft..." The director's face became increasingly weird, and finally he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of noodles.
Fortunately, Wu Ming dodges quickly, otherwise the director would definitely spray noodles in his face: "Why are you laughing?"
The director looked at Wu Ming calmly: "I think of happy things."
Wu Ming: "What's the happy thing?"
"Hasta's hometown was bombed two days ago." The director chuckled again and replied.
Wu Ming looked at Thunder Angel, who was flashing red light and almost transformed into a sphere: "Why are you laughing again?"
Thunder Angel: "The director went out two days ago, and then Subaru Zengjiu exploded."
"So... it was our director who blew up Hasta's hometown?"
"Pfft hahahahahaha...yes, yes..."
The director started laughing so much that he slapped the table, and Thunder Angel also laughed so much that it turned into a bright red sphere. It took a while for the latter to calm down (mainly reflected in the fact that the red color began to become lighter and changed from a sphere to a polyhedron). explained.
"Uh, no, it's the director. She already knew that Subaru Zengjiu was going to explode, so she ran to clean up the mess in advance. Let's get back to business. That tree of life you mentioned...is it powerful?"
Obviously, Thunder Angel listened carefully to what Wu Ming said. It was completely different from the director standing next to him with a twisted and ferocious expression and a forced smile. This polygonal crystalline being keenly captured the key points in Wu Ming's words.
"It's not a question of whether it's powerful or not, it's really that kind of thing, a very special kind..." "It cooled the core of the planet, the atmosphere and magnetic field were irreversibly damaged, and all normal organisms on it died. It’s all gone, it’s terrible. Unfortunately, I walked too quickly yesterday and took away Siegfried’s weapon, so I couldn’t rescue him as well.”
As a result, before Wu Ming finished speaking, the director couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You bully others too much and I have tolerated you for a long time!"
The director raised his eyebrows and raised his head with a provocative look on his face: "Hasta's hometown was bombed."
"You were clearly laughing at me! You never stopped!"
"Wu Ming, your boss, I have received strict training. No matter how funny the things my subordinates say are funny, I will never laugh..." The director paused here and then looked at Thunder Angel beside him as if nothing had happened: "Unless you can't help it."
Now Wu Ming has two choices. One is to be unbearable and start a fight, shouting loudly and let the swordsman ambushing outside the office rush in and fight to the death with his immediate boss. The other is to accept the other party's ridicule.
After thinking calmly, he found that there was no swordsman outside to respond to him, and he was not confident that he could defeat the unreliable boss in front of him, so Wu Ming chose to swallow his anger and accept the ridicule.
"Isn't it the end of the world? What a big deal." The understatement on the director's face was as if he was talking about the food last night: "Do you remember what I told you two days ago? You In the future, you will often have to save the world. You should treat this accident as a sightseeing tour. What you experienced can be regarded as the annihilation of a civilization. On the scale of the entire universe, the annihilation of an intelligent race is at most It’s just like putting an obituary in the Universe Daily News.”
Wu Ming looked at the director who was chatting with confusion: "Then do I care about this matter?"
"What you see is just one of the possible developments of human civilization." The director took out a package of dry noodles from her drawer, opened the package and started chewing: "And it's still Abandoned history falling into virtual time.”
"Imaginary time? Abandoned history?"
Wu Ming felt a little confused when he heard these two terms, and then listened to the director continue to explain.
"Since the birth of the universe, from the very first light of creation, infinite possibilities have evolved with creation. In just a few Planck times, hundreds of millions of universe developments may be split, but those possibilities Most of them are stunted and deformed universes. They either collapsed and quickly became a closed universe after the creation of the world, or they were in a completely open state of rapid expansion after the creation of the world. Matter and dust clouds could not gather in the universe. Together they form stars. There are also factors such as the instability of the physical constants of the universe, too many or too few dimensions in which the universe unfolds, and the fact that the lifespan of the universe is not long enough to support the evolution of elements such as oxygen and carbon. These factors will all lead to the inability of the universe to give birth to intelligent creatures or Civilization and advanced civilization cannot be formed.”
"It is not easy to find a universe in which healthy and stable evolution of physical rules can stably give birth to advanced intelligent life and form civilization. And those universes that are not conducive to the birth of intelligent life and advanced civilization will basically become abandoned historical locks. In virtual time, of course, this is only about the possible changes in the evolution of the universe. After the birth of advanced intelligent creatures, the possible evolution of the universe will become more complicated, and more abandoned history will become more. You went there before That earth is one of the abandoned histories of many human civilizations... Well, if you are interested in doing team building next time in the office, we can consider taking you to visit the Abandoned History Museum, which displays all the abandoned histories, but that will have to wait until We’ll talk about it after you become a regular employee.”
