This is a narrow, crowded, barren world that can be said to be completely uninhabitable.
Colin was sitting on a public bench in the school. He couldn't remember how many times he looked up at the sky. However, every time he looked up, he saw the same sky that he was tired of seeing.
The gray storm clouds were like a lid buckled on the earth, covering the real sky. Occasionally, a few lightning bolts flashed through the gray clouds, outlining the tracks of thunder and lightning that gradually branched out and spread, faintly The dim light of about 10 years passed through the clouds unyieldingly, bringing some warmth and light to this land. Only under extremely rare circumstances, the storm clouds that always shrouded the sky would disperse. Through the small cracks, he could glimpse the true face of the entire sky like a leopard in a tube. Behind the clouds was a vast and endless light. The sea is bright and warm, but not dazzling.
It has been Colin's wish since childhood to see a real sky without storm clouds.
However, in history, there are only a handful of records of clouds dispersing and the world clearing up, and there is no trace of it. The most recent record was a thousand years ago. Colin himself didn't know if he could wait until that day came.
Maybe I will be able to see this once-in-a-thousand-year sunny scene in my lifetime, or maybe I will never be able to witness that gorgeous scene until my death.
Hello, Colin. The classmate's friend patted Colin's shoulder hard, forcing the latter to come back to reality from the state of looking up at the sky in trance. This made Colin frown, but before he could speak, the classmate's friend became excited and exaggerated. The volume told him about the new discovery he had just learned: Do you know? The survey team has just returned. It seems that the boundary of our world has experienced a surge, and it is much larger than in previous years!
Colin glanced at his friend angrily and didn't bother to say anything, then turned his head and focused his gaze on the gray sky.
It is undoubtedly a good thing that the surveying scientific expedition team discovered that the boundaries of the world have expanded. This means that many exploitable resources will appear in the future, and the narrow birdcage-like world will further expand. The technological level and availability of the entire society The allocated resources will increase and more people will be allowed to be born.
But what's the use?
The coalition allocates a large amount of funds every year to hire surveying and scientific expedition teams to measure the boundaries and compare the expansion of the world of order, but it has never tried to form an expedition team to the outside world for exploration.
Colin thought to himself.
They have long been trapped in the cradle world.
Everyone knows that the world they live in has boundaries. Everyone has explored the mysteries and basic rules of the entire world. Everyone knows that outside the world of order is a vast ocean of chaos and disorder, even if their technology has developed to incredible levels. Even if they have solved all the rules of this world, even if their technology has reached the limit allowed by the rules of this world, they are still helpless against the chaotic ocean outside the birdcage.
Sea of Chaos, this is what people in this world call the void, chaotic and disordered outside world outside the boundary of the world, but it is only an abstract name, because with their technological level and knowledge structure, they still cannot describe what the Sea of Chaos is. Such a specific existence cannot be described, understood, or even recognized. They only know that there is no space concept of up, down, left, and right, no concept of time in the past, present, and future, and no concept of various stable cosmological constants. There is everything that has not yet been born. chaos.
There is nothing there, but it contains everything.
Every time the boundary of the world expands outward, the matter in the world will further increase. Scientists once suspected that the expansion of the world and the generation of matter after expansion were actually related to the chaotic sea outside. They described the world as an increasingly larger world. Soap bubbles, and the foundation that carries and nurtures these soap bubbles is a basin of soapy water, which is the sea of chaos in the outside world. Every time the world expands and surges, it may be a transformation of the sea of chaos, transforming the disordered chaos, time, space, and matter into The concept of energy was shattered and the chaos was transformed into a world of order with clear boundaries.
After initially proposing this speculation, the Alliance believed that they could artificially expand the world, and started an exploration plan outside the world fanatically and regardless of the cost. However, their plans to explore the Sea of Chaos by various means failed.
Any creature of order walks out
will be instantly assimilated into the ocean of chaos, even a spacecraft equipped with an order-generating field device is no exception: after they turn on the order field that simulates the world wall and leave this world, they disappear into the sea of chaos, and any signal sent by known technology , will be completely dissolved by the power of disorder when entering the sea of chaos, unable to locate, navigate, or even draw an exploration map!
The final result is that all the exploration spacecraft have cut off communication with the coalition without exception, and their whereabouts are still unknown.
After experiencing several setbacks, the outward exploration craze stopped. Since then, the consortium has stopped all plans for outward exploration. The development of science and technology has reached the end and there is no way forward, and society has no way to continue to develop. Space and resources, this led the Commonwealth to issue a series of decrees to strictly control population growth and social development. From then on, everyone understood that they were trapped and dead in this world.
Hello! Hey Colin! This is big news! At least give me some reaction! The classmate friend seemed a little angry when he saw that Colin had not spoken for a long time.
Colin's wandering consciousness slowly returned, he smiled and nodded absentmindedly: Yes, maybe there will be another batch of newborns that can be approved for birth soon.
That's not the case! Moreover, this time the world is booming, many new things have appeared. It is said that a new ore called Tiberium has appeared. When I mentioned this, my classmates and friends suddenly showed envy and jealousy on their faces, damn it! Those experts in materials science have something new to study. Why did I choose to study basic science in the first place?
Thinking of the birth of a completely unknown new ore, but the pain of not being able to participate in it due to the lack of expertise and being unable to participate in it, the faces of my classmates and friends were full of regret and unwillingness.
The emergence of a completely unknown new material often means that the rules of the world have changed slightly due to inflation. Colin dealt with it casually, maybe after the materials experts study it, you can also revise the existing scientific theories.
Hey, no matter how basic science is, there won't be any major changes. My classmate shook his head and sighed. If there were any major changes in the rules of the world when the world skyrocketed, I am afraid that you and I would be wiped out in an instant by the changes in the world rules, without even the possibility of exploring the unknown.
This time Colin did not answer his friend, but looked at the sky in ecstasy. He knew that behind the dark storm clouds above his head was an ocean of light filled with endless light, but what about behind the ocean of light?
Maybe nothing.
