"If your alliance's plan to reset the universe to zero in advance is likely to succeed, I hope we will be the first external civilization to know about it besides those within your alliance."
Said the eighth world leader of the Trisolaran civilization.
This is the promise it wants to get from Zhang Heng, and it also feels it is the most valuable thing.
"What good will this do to you?"
Zhang Heng asked.
After all, if the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance can really challenge all the alliances in the entire universe, it will really successfully complete the plan to reset the universe to zero in advance.
So, for a civilization that has achieved independent consciousness in the entire universe, isn’t there only one outcome?
It is still the same as before, sending the consciousness to the new universe and waiting for the arrival of the new universe before continuing itself.
Even though the new universe after this restart may be a little different, if there are no accidents, the final result will not change.
"It's important to us, and it's important to this little universe we created!"
The leader of the eighth world moved his hand across the void, pointed at the small universe and said: "If your alliance can really reset the universe to zero in advance, then it must mean that your alliance is no longer needed, and all alliances and civilizations will return It can only be done in a quality way.”
"In this case, it will be very disadvantageous for us. It is possible that one day we will be wiped out by your alliance in a daze."
"We can return all the mass of our small universe, and we are willing to cooperate with all plans that are conducive to the development of civilization, but the mass of our small universe must be returned on our own initiative."
The leader of the eighth world continued: "Otherwise, this small universe we created will lose most of its meaning!"
"Because, after the new universe arrives, we will no longer be sure to recreate such a small universe."
"So, we must make the best use of everything and record every disassembly process when returning the mass of the small universe, so that we can restore the construction process..."
It says it very solemnly.
In fact, the central idea you want to express is not difficult to understand.
Even though they in the Eighth World were so awesome at coaxing them into creating such a small universe, if they were asked to create one, they themselves would not be sure of it.
After all, this is a small universe that took more than 10 billion years to complete.
During this period, there were bound to be various different voices within their eighth world, which caused this small universe to be shelved for a long time at a certain period of time, and it could even be regarded as an unfinished project at the time.
Naturally, when the Eighth World wanted to give up this project several times, all kinds of project-related information would no longer be valued.
In addition, as time goes by, there will definitely be losses.
Even at their level of civilization, it is impossible to store a piece of data in a computer and save it permanently. After all, no matter how powerful a computer is, it needs maintenance to operate for a long time.
After all, even Zhang Heng's own Yita and super intelligent life forms like Anna have bad moments.
The computers in their eighth world are definitely not as good as Yita's, so naturally this cannot be avoided.
More importantly, because their project was regarded as an unfinished project not just once or twice, but many times.
In this way, since the relevant project data is not taken seriously, the computer that stores the data will no longer have technicians to maintain it, and even more data will be lost!
If Xiamen Station does not dismantle the small universe, it will be difficult for them to restore the part of the project that lost data.
Therefore, they formulated this idea when the universe was about to return to zero and restart.
But who would have thought that the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance in the current cosmic cycle would be much more determined to restart the universe in advance than in the previous cosmic cycle.
The Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance is determined to do what it wants to do. I am afraid that except for the Cleaners and other relatively ancient alliances and civilizations, the remaining civilizations such as their Trisolaran Civilization Eighth World do not dare to do it easily. Let’s make a conclusion on whether the alliances can withstand a ten-dimensional pastoral alliance.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, they naturally have to take these unstable factors into consideration.
Moreover, now that they have met Zhang Heng, a member of the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance, they have no reason not to add an extra level of insurance for this.
"If that's all it is, that's totally fine."
After thinking about it, Zhang Heng agreed.
After all, if that time comes, the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance will have the ability to absolutely overwhelm the entire universe, and it will definitely not be afraid of any cosmic force knowing about it.
Therefore, even if he reveals the news to the Trisolaris Eighth World at that time, and the Trisolaris Eighth World is ignorant and makes the whole universe known, it will not affect the overall situation in the slightest.
Furthermore, the Trisolaran Eighth World is not a civilization of fools, and there is a high probability that this kind of thing will not happen.
At this point in the conversation, the deal is considered completed.
The promise Zhang Heng has to make may have to wait until a long, long time before it can be fulfilled, or it may not even be fulfilled.
As for the technology that Trisolaris Eighth World has paid for, how the black hole's gravity can be channeled, it will now be provided to Zhang Heng.
In Zhang Heng's view, this is also a very cost-effective deal.
Sure enough, no matter when and where you go, you must have a background and power to be popular, otherwise you will be a bastard.
However, from the perspective of the leader of Trisolaris Eighth World, it also feels like a very good deal.
After all, technology will not give birth to its own offspring if it is left there. After you use it, you can then profit from your own civilization in other ways.
In this way, it can be regarded as making the best use of everything.
Afterwards, the leader of Trisolaris Eighth World took Zhang Heng around again, the control center area of their small universe.
In this area, the small universe with a diameter of nearly 300,000 light-years can be seen at a glance.
And this small universe, which is nearly 300,000 light years old, is really a sphere when viewed from the perspective of this area.
This also reminded Zhang Heng of the scene where he saw everything in the three-body universe when he entered the perspective of God through Anna.
When he entered God's perspective, the three-body universe he saw was in the shape of a ball.
"Your control center area is already very close to the cosmic strings in the big universe!"
After observing for a while, Zhang Heng sighed sincerely again.
"The inspiration for the construction of our small universe control center actually comes from the cosmic strings of the big universe."
The leader of the Trisolaran Eighth World said: "We are fortunate in the alliance to have access to a perspective that can directly observe the entire metaverse just like you did not long ago."
"That's why we thought of using this method to build our little universe."
Zhang Heng believed this.
After all, the Hill Alliance where their Trisolaran civilization is located is also an alliance not much worse than the Star Alliance.
An alliance of this size controls many metaverses.
After the Trisolaran Civilization joined the Hill Alliance, it has so many VI-level branches, and it must be a backbone-level existence in the alliance.
Therefore, Zhang Heng does not doubt the authority and status of the Trisolaran Eighth World in the Hill Alliance.
"That's the channel we use to divert the black hole's gravity."
Then, the leader of the eighth world of Trisolaris called up another picture for Zhang Heng: "But it has been closed by us now."
"In the early days, the gravity of the black hole in the large universe continuously transmitted gravity to the entire small universe through this channel."
"After all, the gravity generated by the certain mass of space itself cannot bind these "static masses" and "moving masses" such as celestial bodies."
"It may even affect space in turn. For example, if a star collapses into a black hole after its lifespan is exhausted, the black hole will swallow the entire small universe until it pulls the entire small universe to a singularity."
"But after we have attracted enough gravity, the gravity will never disappear due to the mass of gravity itself. From then on, our small universe itself will have strong enough gravity like a "static mass", and it will be enough to bind the small universe. All "static matter" and "moving mass"."
After this explanation, Zhang Heng finally understood.
The so-called diversion from the black hole is actually their eighth world adding mass to their own small universe itself.
To put it simply, this small universe with nearly 300,000 light-years can be regarded as a super planet.
The only difference is that its interior does not have its own star core like a real planet, but a thick gravitational mass.
It is these masses that bind and push the masses of all the celestial bodies on the surface of the small universe.
"Then what do you do when a star collapses into a neutron star and is about to become a black hole?"
Since it took the initiative to mention this, Zhang Heng naturally asked more questions.
Looking at the densely packed light spots in the small universe, it can be seen that the number of stars in this small universe must not be small.
Although the lifespan of stars in the universe ranges from a few billion years to as long as tens of billions of years.
Let’s just say that stars born from small universes are born with malnutrition, but at least they have to have a lifespan of several hundred million years, right?
In addition, the completion of their small universe in the eighth world of Trisolaris has only been a few hundred thousand years, so it is too early to consider this issue now.
But problems have to be solved, right?
By the time the star begins to collapse, it will be too late to think about this problem.
After all, when one star begins to collapse, it also means that the rest will soon follow.
In the large universe, various civilizations call this phenomenon "heat death".
Therefore, Zhang Heng wanted to know how the three-body eighth world would solve the "heat death" of the small universe.
"We don't need to think about this issue at all, because the big universe will definitely restart earlier than our small universe."
The leader of the eighth world of Trisolaris replied.
That's right, when the big universe starts to restart, they will start to dismantle the small universe and return the mass. Why do they need to consider what will happen billions or tens of billions of years later?
The top civilizations in the outer universe that can restart the universe will help them solve all the problems and start over.
"I think you need to think about this."
Zhang Heng said: "Although I don't know what your original intention was when you built such a small universe."
"However, up to this day, you have proven that you are capable of creating a small universe close to the metaverse."
"Perhaps, the most ancient civilizations in the first cosmic cycle were like you now, first creating such a small universe, and then gradually evolving into small universes."
"However, they discovered that even if they created a small universe similar to the big universe, they would still not be able to escape heat death in the end."
"So they began to rethink how to avoid the heat death of the universe, and that's how we now recognize the universe's zeroing and restarting."
"So, now you still think you don't need to consider these issues?"
Zhang Heng's words made the leader of the eighth world of Trisolaris stunned for a long time!
"Been taught a lesson!"
It was not a fool and quickly understood what Zhang Heng said.
If, because of their brains, the small universe they created in the eighth world can really take VI level civilization a step further, it is a necessary process.
So, what Zhang Heng is saying now, you really need to start thinking about.
They think about how to avoid the heat death of the small universe, just like the original ancient civilizations thought.
The same is true when they think about how to restart their small universe.
If they can succeed in the end, maybe they can really join the top civilizations!
"Actually, the top beings in the outer universe are still thinking about these issues."
Zhang Heng continued: "For example, for our Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance, returning to zero and restarting the universe in advance is not the goal, it is just a process to achieve the goal."
"What we yearn for is a better universe that is more conducive to the development of civilization."
"We believe that the universe itself is flawed, at least as far as our civilization itself is concerned, and it still cannot escape the laws of life and death."
"All the alliances and civilizations that have contributed to this in the past are all repairing the flaws of the universe."
"Only by making the true universe perfect and the civilization itself that is inseparable from it can it be perfect."
"Thinking about solving the heat death problem may be the only way to make the universe perfect!"
"Or maybe, by then, we will be able to truly understand the universe. The universe is no longer a cage that binds us, but a perfect world that can be created and changed at will."
The above words are Zhang Heng’s current state of mind.
It was only after joining the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance, communicating with the Zero Returners, and the various alliance data that Ive shared with him at the beginning that he was able to sublimate his thinking and could barely be regarded as a qualified alliance member.
Every word and deed carries the highest thinking and will of the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance, and is also the common thinking and will of the entire alliance.
