"Do the rest of your worlds also have small universes like this?"
Zhang Heng then asked again.
"Most likely not."
The leader of the eighth world of Trisolaris answered.
It felt that it was unlikely that other Trisolaran worlds would have such small universes, even though most of the other Trisolaran worlds had stronger overall technological strength than their Eighth World.
Because, when the Eighth World first built this small universe, many Trisolarans felt that all this was meaningless.
After all, a normal small universe can allow a civilization to survive well and comfortably in it. Adding more things is just the icing on the cake, and it will not bring any substantial benefits to a civilization.
Why spend a lot of resources and spend an unknown amount of time and energy to create such a small universe?
If you have this spare time, you might as well focus on other technological fields that can quickly bring benefits to civilization.
Of course, if the Eighth World had known from the beginning that it would take more than 10 billion years to build such a small universe, they might not have persisted.
The reason why this small universe is now built is because the Eighth World was already in trouble and spent too much resources and energy on it.
It’s not a matter of continuing to build, nor of simply giving up. They were in a dilemma, and in the end they were reluctant to part with the resources and energy they had put in, and persisted for more than 10 billion years.
"But I think the process is the meaning."
The leader of the eighth world of Trisolaris said again.
Although looking back on the more than 10 billion years ago, their eighth world was almost dragged down by this small universe to the point where the entire civilization almost collapsed.
During this period, they had regrets and had doubts on several occasions whether the development direction of civilization had gone astray.
However, looking back now, all Trisolaran citizens, including the entire Eighth World, can only be proud of the decision they made.
All the contributions they made to the eighth world are no longer unilateral contributions.
They have gained a lot...
"I think you're right."
Zhang Heng quite agrees with the saying that the process of leadership in the Eighth World is the meaning.
Because, at this moment, Zhang Heng also felt that if a VI level civilization wanted to further reach the level of the Zero Returner, it must first have an understanding of the universe.
Only by understanding the universe to a great extent can we have the ability to create the metaverse.
But the eighth world of the Trisolaran Civilization has already gone through this process in advance.
This is equivalent to them having accumulated enough experience and reaching a certain level of understanding of the universe.
"Your Excellency the Enlightener, if you are also interested in this, I can first take you to visit our great world."
After talking about this, the leader of the Eighth World naturally felt that Zhang Heng was interested in their small universe.
Therefore, it did not hesitate to invite.
Anyway, the other party has come in. If the other party really comes in with malicious intentions, then no matter how hard it defends, it will be useless.
Rather than hiding it, it is better to show it to the other person openly.
While doing this, it must also be able to shock the other party to a certain extent. After seeing the true technological strength of the Eighth World, they will definitely think before doing anything.
"Is that okay? It's all up to you."
Of course, Zhang Heng had no objection to this. He had always wanted to learn. If he could further observe and gain some useful information, he could get it back in his own small universe.
"However, will we keep your supreme leader of the First World waiting for a long time?"
Zhang Heng did not forget about business, let alone why he came in.
If Yun Tianming had already arrived at the small universe of the eighth world, then he would definitely have to meet him first, and the matter of visiting the small universe could be discussed later.
"Please rest assured that things will not be delayed. The Supreme Leader has not come to our world in person. He will only communicate with our eighth world through projection calls."
"At that time, someone will notify us."
said the leader of the eighth world.
In other words, although Yun Tianming has agreed to talk to Zhang Heng, he has not yet taken the initiative to start a call with the eighth world, and they do not have the authority to take the initiative to call the first world, so they can only wait unilaterally.
"If so, let's go!"
Hearing this, Zhang Heng no longer had any worries and followed the leader of the Eighth World to visit their small universe.
Although this small universe has a diameter of nearly 300,000 light-years, which is nearly twice the size of the Milky Way, because it is the eighth world small universe, the leader can do anything almost as easily as he says. the point.
For example, it says that I want to go to an area one hundred thousand light years away, so in the next second it can immediately appear one hundred thousand light years away.
In this way, the leader took Zhang Heng to visit one area after another in their small universe, or in other words, these areas were what he wanted Zhang Heng to see.
"Civilization can actually be born in your small universe?"
When he came to a star suitable for giving birth to carbon-based life, Zhang Heng also observed it and was a little shocked!
Because this means that this small universe is now closer to the metaverse.
"No, we don't have that ability yet, and the current small universe doesn't have that ability yet..."
Although he wanted to show off in front of Zhang Heng, the leader still explained honestly: "Actually, we have also tried to create some planetary environments suitable for the birth of life to see if it can be like in the big universe. Like this, let this planet also give birth to life independently."
"However, no matter how we try, even if we intervene to make the planet perfect enough to birth life, that planet has never given birth to life as we expected, even the simplest single-cell life. and the most primitive prokaryotic life.”
"The lives you see now are actually the ones we brought in from the universe and then slowly evolved many times to become what they are."
In other words, the lives Zhang Heng sees now, which seem to be different from those in the macrocosm, actually originate from the macrocosm.
"Then what's the problem?"
Zhang Heng asked curiously.
He also thought about it carefully and found that there are basically planets that have the conditions for the birth of life. In theory, in the big universe, even if life is not certain to be born, there is a high probability that it will be born.
"I don't know, life is inherently complicated, or maybe our small universe does not have certain necessary factors for the birth of life like the big universe."
The leader replied: "Besides, there is no civilization in the universe that can directly create life."
"Creators such as those who are famous for creating life can't really create life. They can still create it through different life genes extracted from the universe."
"Even the life that keeps recurring in every cycle in the Pangu Metaverse is the same."
"These beings were not created by the Pangu civilization, but the universe."
"Or maybe, only when we can truly create the universe can we create life..."
After all, creating the universe and then giving birth to life from the universe itself is no different from life directly created by oneself.
This topic is so profound!
It’s okay to discuss the origin of civilization, but to discuss the origin of life, we have to go back to when the universe was a singularity, before the Big Bang.
I'm afraid, even if the Zero Returners are here, they can't tell the reason. In the end, it can only be attributed to the creativity of the universe itself.
As a result, the two soon ended this topic that may never come to an end.
"Can I go to the area where you divert the black hole's gravity and have a look?"
Then, Zhang Heng requested again.
Although he would not think about doing something as grand as the Eighth World of Trisolaran Civilization in his own small universe, he was still willing to do something as simple as making a star system move.
However, the prerequisite is that he can obtain the method of the Three-Body Eighth World that can divert gravity from the black hole.
In this way, he can also use the force of gravity to make a star system form a simple orbit.
"For this, I can also pay an equal price to your civilization in exchange."
Zhang Heng added another sentence.
The most effective way to communicate has always been through generosity.
After hearing what Zhang Heng said, the leader of the Eighth World was a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Yes, yes, but I need you to assure us that even if you obtain the black hole gravity drainage technology from us, , but it can only be used by you and your civilization, and cannot be used as a transaction price to trade with other civilizations."
Its meaning is also very simple. It can be exchanged to Zhang Heng, but Zhang Heng only has the right to use this technology and does not have ownership.
"no problem."
Zhang Heng agreed without thinking. He originally wanted to use it for himself, and he never thought about selling it to other civilizations.
However, what kind of technology or objects does he have to offer in exchange for equal value?
Thinking about this, Zhang Heng suddenly felt that his own individual civilization was extremely poor compared to other people's collective civilization.
The third child is also like him. He has developed from the last return to zero cycle to the present, but the third child can even create such a small universe. He is so rich.
"We don't need you to give us anything in exchange, we just need you to give us a promise."
I don’t know if he saw that Zhang Heng had nothing of equal value in exchange, so the eighth world leader took the lead and said he didn’t want anything.
Because, in its view, the most valuable thing about Zhang Heng, the enlightener civilization, is his status as a member of the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance.
Don’t look at how simple it is for Zhang Heng to join the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance. He thinks that the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance accepts all cats and dogs.
When the entire Trisolaran civilization had just been promoted to Level VI civilization, and was widely invited by major alliances like Zhang Heng before, it was not without the thought of joining the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance.
However, they didn’t accept it.
As people say, there is no need to check the past information of each new member; and as they say, there is no common concept with the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance, and you can withdraw at any time after joining.
These, if you really take them seriously, are naive.
In fact, with the size of the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance and its hands and eyes, basically every civilization that can be promoted to the VI level, and the civilization that has been promoted to the VI level, has been clearly understood.
Ten dimensions and ten dimensions. These two words alone cover the ten macroscopic dimensions of the entire universe. Do you really think you are joking?
In fact, whether it is Zhang Heng or the Trisolaran civilization, they have completely entered the field of vision of the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance as early as the last return to zero cycle.
Otherwise, when the returnees broadcast, how could they receive the broadcast.
Zhang Heng and the Trisolaran civilization had already entered people's field of vision when they were not VI level civilizations. After they were successfully promoted, people could immediately call up the past information about the two at a glance, and there was no need to conduct special investigations at all.
Even people might be able to directly tune in and see what has been done in the current cosmic cycle.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Zhang Heng seemed to be extremely relaxed when he wanted to join the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance compared to the Trisolaran Civilization.
Because, before Zhang Heng had the concept of the metaverse and the concept of alliance, he was already working on his own pastoral plan in the known universe of the super god.
From the perspective of the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance, this is the heart of an innocent person. He has a vision and truly agrees with this concept from his heart.
Otherwise, you won’t start messing around in a decent way when you don’t understand anything anymore.
So, when Yves met Zhang Heng later, he accepted Zhang Heng without much thought.
After all, in their view, Zhang Heng is the one who agrees most firmly with this concept. Even though he is weak now, his alliance is worthy of it.
To put it simply, even if the eldest brother is rich, there is no shortage of people. What is lacking is people who understand the eldest brother and truly think in the same way as the eldest brother.
Therefore, Zhang Heng was regarded by the Ten Dimensional Pastoral Alliance as someone who truly agreed with him, and was accepted without hesitation.
The Trisolaran civilization obviously came here for the elder brother's money, so it was naturally turned away.
"Oh? What promise?"
Although Zhang Heng didn't know the true thoughts of the eighth world leader, he also knew that he was now a member of the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance.
As for the weight of his new identity, Zhang Heng had already experienced it in advance when he first received Nirag from the Star Alliance a long time ago.
Therefore, he can now more or less guess that the leader of the Eighth World is actually asking for a promise for his new identity.
