Guan Yifan thought that Cheng Xin called him here this time to start a war with other branches of humanity.
Although he didn't know the Zhang Heng Cheng Xin mentioned, he didn't like infighting among any branch of humanity.
"You misunderstood. Others don't understand what kind of person I am. Don't you understand?"
Seeing that Guan Yifan seemed to have misunderstood her, Cheng Xin immediately explained.
However, there is one thing to say. With her personality, it is indeed unlikely that she will fight with other civilizations, let alone other branches of humanity?
Moreover, she is usually the one being bullied.
It’s also thanks to the fact that the humans who survived the last zeroing cycle are already relatively powerful, otherwise she really wouldn’t be able to live in the universe, let alone have the chance to lead a branch of humanity.
Again, it was the relatively strong human civilization that gave her enough room for error.
But no matter how large the fault tolerance space is, there will always be a time when it is exhausted, and there will eventually be problems that cannot be solved with the current power of human civilization.
Just like now, she wanted to return to the solar system again and bring her "Mother's Glory" to the humans there, but she was ruthlessly stopped.
What stopped her was not other people's civilization, but Zhang Heng, who could also be considered a branch of human civilization.
After careful explanation, Guan Yifan finally understood the specific cause and effect.
Although he didn't know Zhang Heng, he had never heard that there was still a branch of human civilization that existed to this day.
However, from the tone of Cheng Xin's introduction, it was not difficult to imagine that the opponent's technological strength was absolutely no less powerful than any other group of humans.
"Why are they also interested in humans in the solar system?"
Guan Yifan also couldn't understand.
It is understandable that a person with Cheng Xin's personality still has compassion for the humans in the solar system.
Except for Cheng Xin, I believe no one wants to go back to save them.
After all, those who have survived from the last reset cycle to the present have a deep understanding of what kind of virtue the human beings in the solar system are like.
"Actually, I don't have to go to the solar system now. In fact, if they can bring a better ending to the humans in the solar system, I would rather see it."
Cheng Xin said: "But because we had conflicts with fringe civilizations before, they are now deliberately targeting us, and we can no longer safely leave the small universe and return to the big universe."
This was the real purpose of her calling Guan Yifan. It was not to start a war with anyone, but to let Guan Yifan help her get out of the current predicament.
No matter whether Guan Yifan becomes a lobbyist or exchanges interests with Zhang Heng, as long as Guan Yifan can make Zhang Heng stop targeting her.
"That won't happen, right?"
Hearing this, Guan Yifan became puzzled again: "Your small universe can completely open a door to the outside of the Milky Way. No matter how powerful they are, it is impossible for them to capture the Earth from hundreds of thousands of light years away." By the time you have left the small universe and returned to the big universe..."
The magic of the small universe is that even if you are in the small universe, you can still control the door in the big universe to move.
In the small universe No. 647 that Yun Tianming left for him and Cheng Xin back then, Sophon relied on this operation to move the door and help the two of them find a place where they could continue to live in the big universe that was already in tatters. level environment.
And this so-called door, in Zhang Heng's terms, is the anchor point.
"That will take countless hours."
Cheng Xin shook her head and replied, "And it's no different now than it was back then. There are only you and me in the 647 small universe, and time has become meaningless. No matter how much time passes in the big universe, we won't care."
"Now, there is a civilization in this small universe, and they cannot accept that the time of the small universe is too different from the time of the large universe."
"Besides, some of their family members are still there in the solar system not far away..."
That part of the family naturally refers to those who were separated by Zhang Heng's space technology at that time and could not escape back to the small universe with the battle stars.
Although those people are all soldiers in the army, and it is understandable that they should be the first to be sacrificed when necessary, but no matter how far human civilization develops, the word human relationship cannot be avoided.
At least, the human civilization that Cheng Xin belongs to cannot abandon these things.
Therefore, when we could still save those soldiers, we did not save them, and just watched them waiting to die on the land of the divided battle star.
Cheng Xin couldn't do it, and the families of those soldiers didn't agree.
This is why Zhang Heng said at the beginning that the most reliable way to defeat her is to use humanity.
Because this is a conspiracy, no matter what she does, it will be wrong.
If we abandon those soldiers and do not rescue them, the families of those soldiers will be the first to become dissatisfied.
Moreover, if there is one, there are two. If she can give up once, people have absolutely reason to believe that she can do it the second time.
As long as someone deliberately incites her, people can pull her down from the altar just as they put her on the altar.
Isn't it because people choose her because they see her as weak? All decisions must be made from the people's perspective first.
She doesn't prioritize the people at all times, so why should we support her?
Wouldn't it be the same if it were someone else?
That's why she felt such a headache now.
"Are you saying that they are using your soldiers as a threat or as bait to force you to return to the previous place first and rescue those soldiers even if you return to the universe?"
At this time, Guan Yifan finally understood.
To be honest, Cheng Xin wanted to go back and rescue those soldiers, but she was also afraid that there would be an ambush where the soldiers were.
That's why I approached him, hoping that he could help negotiate with her, and that she could let her go this time.
However, it had to be said that this move was cruel enough and very effective against Cheng Xin.
Putting it on other civilizations or other branches of humankind, it would not have such a big effect.
After all, compared to the safety of an entire civilization, just a few soldiers, it is not difficult to decide how to choose.
"All I can say is try your best."
After figuring it out, Guan Yifan continued.
Although he was willing to help Cheng Xin, he was not familiar with that human branch after all, let alone Zhang Heng, and it was impossible for others to confront Cheng Xin because of him.
"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you. If you didn't take the initiative to come to me, I would have come to you and other branches of humanity."
At this time, Guan Yifan suddenly seemed to remember something important, so he continued: "Tomoko sent me an important message she got from the first world of Trisolaris."
"This news is about the restart of the universe and the pattern of the new universe after the restart."
Without any pause, Guan Yifan told Cheng Xin everything he knew.
In fact, he was no longer interested in the so-called restarting the universe or the so-called new universe, and he was even too lazy to think about it.
After all, he felt that he had been deceived by the so-called restarting the universe and the new universe.
Back then, he, Cheng Xin, Zhizi and others had endless reveries about the new universe after the restart in the small universe No. 647. All of them turned into disappointment when they came to the current new universe after the restart was successful.
The universe is still the same universe, there is no difference between before and after the restart.
Macroscopically speaking, the "time dimension" that must be higher than the fourth dimension, and probably even higher than the tenth dimension, did not appear, and neither did the beautiful life they longed for!
Everything is just entering another reincarnation!
Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat without any meaning...
No matter how many times the universe is restarted, it cannot change the final ending.
And those top civilizations are restarting the universe, no matter how high-sounding they say before each restart, it cannot change the fact that they are just lingering.
They can no longer make further progress. The only thing they can do is to prevent the natural heat death of the universe in exchange for time for one zeroing cycle after another. By trying to own these times, they can escape from mediocrity.
"The first world of the Trisolaran civilization said that this restart of the universe may be different from the past. First of all, time passes faster than before."
Guan Yifan continued: "However, so far, this plan is only being implemented by the Nulling Ones. Other top civilizations do not recognize this plan, and even some civilizations are trying to stop the Nulling Ones."
"Secondly, the universe after this restart will no longer be the same as it is today. The metaverse will disappear, and the universe will once again become the original and complete universe."
"Such a restart plan has never been implemented before."
"Since the records of the oldest civilization, the universe started from the first restart. The new universe after the restart is the current metaverse model."
"And the Metaverse was basically created during the cycle of time at the beginning of the universe."
"In the future, perhaps to reduce risks, or perhaps because each top civilization is reluctant to part with its previous metaverse, each metaverse is deliberately retained after each restart."
"But now GuiZero believes that the existence of the Metaverse may be wrong, and the universe should not be like this."
"The original intention of restarting the universe should not be from the original desire to obtain infinite possibilities to the current one just for the sake of continuation."
"Every restart should be given some uncertainty, so that the new universe after the restart may bring progress to various civilizations."
"This will also allow civilizations that have long been stagnant and mediocre for countless return-to-zero cycles to get rid of mediocrity."
"Instead of staying the same every time, lingering on one zero reset cycle after another..."
When Guan Yifan said this, he almost shouted it in a roaring voice.
"You seem very excited and agree with GuiZero's ideas?"
Cheng Xin looked at Guan Yifan and said.
"Yeah, I think they're right."
Guan Yifan replied affirmatively: "Because that would be more in line with my fantasy of the new universe."
He also makes no effort to conceal his disappointment in the current shape of the universe!
"However, that will also mean there is a risk of failure. If the restart fails, the universe will really be the same as natural heat death!"
"The efforts of countless civilizations that have gone through countless reset cycles will also be in vain!"
Cheng Xin frowned. She had always disliked the extreme ideas of the Returners. Naturally, she would not agree with the Returners like Guan Yifan.
"Whether a civilization can rise depends entirely on how many people in that civilization dare to try new things."
"I don't dare to do this, I don't dare to do that. Are we going to play with stones forever?"
"For a universe, especially now that top civilizations have reached a universe where there is no room for development, if there are no civilizations that dare to try, how can this universe still be good?"
Guan Yifan said: "And can the universe really restart without any sequelae?"
"Life and death, beginning and end, have always been the natural laws of the universe that we have recognized. No existence can be an exception. Even the universe itself, its end point is only a relatively longer time."
"Nowadays, top civilizations want to change this law, which cannot even be changed by the universe itself. Restarting it again and again seems to make the universe have no end, and at the same time, it also prevents them from reaching the end of life."
"But even if they can master the rules of the universe, they can't really change the rules of the universe, right?"
His point of view, as well as the current point of view of Zero Zero, is to put it bluntly, he believes that if we continue to restart the universe repeatedly, it will only make the universe become older.
Until the day when I am too old to restart.
Perhaps, we should give the universe a new life and also give civilization itself a new life.
Come to a restart full of infinite possibilities and help the old universe rebirth a younger universe.
In fact, many civilizations can think of this issue, and even Zhang Heng has considered this issue.
But, so what if you can think of it?
Until the day when it becomes impossible to restart the universe, how many people will be anxious, and how many civilizations will think about making a desperate move?
To put it bluntly, there are too many civilized conservatives in the universe, and a civilization should not use a gamble to determine its own destiny.
You said that a restart full of uncertainty can make the universe better, and can also allow civilizations that have fallen into mediocrity to break through the shackles.
I also said that playing it safe and having it for a long enough time can also make the universe full of uncertainty and make the universe better!
Since everything is full of uncertainty, why take risks?
"Does this have anything to do with us?"
Cheng Xin asked again.
Even if human civilization is basically very strong now, it still cannot reach the level of a top civilization. Are these things humans should worry about?
