Lu Yuanming knew that he had glimpsed some secrets of this dark matter world.
As the material world in which humans live reduces its dimensionality to the world of dark matter, not only humans themselves, but also human civilization will also decline.
As an intellectual life, it is easy to understand that human beings have fallen. Whether it is himself or the people around him, they have died once, their souls have manifested, and they have turned into humans in the dark matter world. This is the fall of human beings.
The decline of human civilization is much more subtle. For example, New York City, which is now dilapidated like a battlefield ruins, is part of the decline of human civilization. This is obvious, and then there are those monsters. These monsters are actually all the decline of human civilization. The parts are just those that are chaotic, dark, and have evil intentions.
Human-faced dogs, monster spiders, bat monsters, etc. In fact, the shadows of monsters in certain areas and civilizations can be seen in their bodies.
Therefore, these monsters will continue to be killed, because as humans and human civilization decline, they will inevitably be refreshed and resurrected until humans and human civilization, plus the earth, completely fall into the world of dark matter.
These are not all of human civilization.
Since the birth of human civilization, it has accumulated for thousands of years, including religious myths, legendary epics, rich history, urban weird stories, and even after the information explosion of modern civilization, it has tens of millions or hundreds of millions of fans. Those novels, movies, animations, comics... all of these will fall as dark matter reduces its dimensionality.
The knowledge of the material world will turn into tangible power in the dark matter world!
Lu Yuanming understood this deeply. His colorless light particles were the concrete manifestation of the power of recognizing the material world into the dark matter world. Now there is a powerful armor to prove this.
This shows that human civilization has fallen from the material level to the dark matter level. As long as we find a way, we can gain power from it, huge power.
But whether it is human beings or human civilization, all this is still insignificant compared to the monsters existing in the dark matter world.
Through the essence fragments of previous human civilization, Lu Yuanming spied on the existence of indescribable monsters in the dark matter world. Even just seeing and knowing those monsters was enough to cause harm to him. This horror exceeded Lu Yuanming's imagination. It is already similar to the concept of the Old Ones in the Cthulhu Mythos.
They lurk in the wilderness outside New York City.
To be more precise, it is outside the collective body where human beings and human civilization have fallen, because unknown forces prevent them from approaching now. According to Lu Yuanming's guess, perhaps there is still some influence in the material world, and they seem to be unable to approach the material world. world, so it cannot destroy New York City and humanity in the current dark matter world.
Then... what if all human beings and human civilization fall, and even the earth falls?
Once these indescribable things come, mankind will face absolute destruction.
This is the real doomsday moment! !
This is the secret that Lu Yuanming spied on.
The real doomsday is not for humans and human civilization to fall from the material world to the dark matter world.
As Alfred said, as long as there are enough crops to sustainably produce food, the difference between humans in the material world and the dark matter world is actually not big. Although it is called a soul, it is nothing more than matter. Elemental composition, one is composed of dark matter elements, the function has not changed, and it can also reproduce.
So this really can’t be called the end of the world, it’s nothing more than huge social turmoil, plus the ineffectiveness of science and technology that humans have developed into information civilization, and it’s just a matter of re-development in this dark matter world. As for those monsters... Again, unless Monsters with the same size and strength as Godzilla appear, or supernatural undead ghosts appear, otherwise those monsters are just enhanced beasts. As long as humans organize themselves, they can crush them as easily as insects.
This is not the end.
The real doomsday comes from the wild world of dark matter, from the indescribable unknown!
"There are still three years to go."
Alfred told Lu Yuanming before that the team of scientists in the material world predicted the time limit for dimensionality reduction. In three years at most, humans and human civilization will completely fall into the world of dark matter.
In other words, according to the most pessimistic estimates, mankind and human civilization will come to an end in three years.
Unless... you can escape!
Being able to escape from the encirclement of these indescribable monsters, and then escape far into the depths of the dark matter world, similar to the deep space in the material universe.
Only in this way can human civilization be preserved!
Lu Yuanming figured it all out, and he immediately left the bank and ran towards the park.
Alfred is leading more than a hundred people to open up new farmland in New York's Central Park. This is almost something he must do every day. Compared to organizational building, he spends more time farming.
As Lu Yuanming ran towards Central Park, he was also observing and thinking about the current organization. When he found Alfred, Lu Yuanming immediately asked: "Alfred, what is outside New York City?"
Alfred was discussing planting with an agricultural expert at the edge of the field. After hearing this, he casually said: "Are you talking about where we are outside New York City? That is naturally the wild world of dark matter."
"What does this wilderness look like? Is it the vast land? Or the endless deep sea? Or is it a void like the universe? Are there any living things?" Lu Yuanming asked again.
Alfred heard the smell now. He asked the experts to guide the farmland first. Then he and Lu Yuanming came to the side. He asked: "What happened? Why did you suddenly ask outside the city?" ?”
Lu Yuanming had no intention of telling the monsters in the wild. The monsters he saw in the thick fog were completely incomparable with the monsters in the city. They were just like the interstellar Zerg and the wild animals on the earth. The most terrifying thing is that he has an intuition that it is dangerous to discuss these monsters directly. The people who listen are in danger, and the people who speak are also in danger.
"Just for long-term considerations, we must go outside the city." Lu Yuanming said.
This was not entirely a lie. Alfred said without thinking too much: "Our exploration outside the city was very limited. We did send out several exploration personnel before and after. Except for one return, all the exploration personnel disappeared. But that time there was a big change... Mr. Lu, New York City in this dark matter world was actually not so dilapidated at the beginning, at least it didn't look like a battlefield ruins."
Lu Yuanming immediately thought of the monsters in the thick fog, and he asked, "What happened at that time?"
Alfred found a stone and sat down at random. Lu Yuanming sat next to him. Alfred then said: "I mentioned before that we first obtained this piece of dark matter because there is a soul and this piece of dark matter." The dark matter reacted, and then we moved this piece of dark matter to a secret experimental base underground in New York. The initial research purpose was actually for immortality."
"Eternal life?" Lu Yuanming asked with a frown.
Alfred didn't take it seriously. He continued: "Before this piece of dark matter appeared, we humans could not find any evidence of the afterlife, nor could we find evidence of the existence of the soul. This is what everyone must The problem we face is death, and everyone is like this. In fact, this problem is not a problem. It is nothing more than living longer, or investing in life-span potions, but when we see and confirm the soul for the first time , and when we learned that the soul can exist forever in the dark matter world, we couldn’t stop thinking about immortality. At that time, we made a plan for the dark matter world, and the name of this plan is called artificial paradise.”
"The world's top tycoons, capitalists, plutocrats who control the world's economic lifeline, senior government officials, economic oligarchs, etc. inject capital, provide manpower and material resources, and provide great political convenience. When the dark matter world New York City appeared, , we sent more than half a million people into this city, and the information on the nature of the dark matter world and external exploration basically came from that time."
"Fifty million people!? How did they get down?" Lu Yuanming asked in surprise.
Alfred didn't speak, just shook his head slightly, and Lu Yuanming came back to his senses immediately.
This is the world of dark matter, and also the world after death. The only way to come down is to die in the material world, and half a million people come down directly after death. This is simply an exaggeration. There are countless social elites and people in between. Researchers and the like.
When Alfred saw Lu Yuanming's shocked expression, he knew that Lu Yuanming had understood how these five hundred thousand people had come down, and he said: "Five hundred thousand people...for those who control the entire world, For us, it was really nothing, but soon we stopped sending people down, and at the same time, the first round of external exploration began. The reason was the food problem. We tried every means and thought of everything. Methods, scientific, religious, miscellaneous, such as genetic engineering, etc., in the end can not bring down any plant, which means that the more people come down, the faster they will starve to death, so we have to By sending people out of the city to explore the wilderness outside the city, we hope to find plant food native to the dark matter world."
"But it failed. No matter how many personnel were sent, or how many elite soldiers or agents were dispatched, as long as they left the city limits, all traces would be lost immediately. Gradually, external exploration was regarded as seeking death, but even so, the personnel below They still spontaneously started exploring outside the city, because they have already come down, and if they don’t want to eventually starve to death, then they must find a source of food.”
"At that time, the city was not so dilapidated, and there were more supplies in the city. Although external exploration was in a desperate situation, the hundreds of thousands of people below could still live well until... finally some explorers returned."
At this point, Alfred's face turned pale, and Lu Yuanming immediately asked: "Then what? You just vaguely mentioned it before, saying that based on the information they obtained and through calculations in the material world, we got There is such a conjecture that there was a civilization on Mars, these people return, and then what?"
"They are no longer human."
Alfred said: "I don't know what they are, but they are no longer human beings. From the information I know, a total of three people returned. At that time, in order to prevent the vacuum environment or toxic environment outside the city, They were still wearing spacesuits, and after they returned, the staff below found the records they had written on their spacesuits, and through calculations they confirmed that there was an alien civilization in a certain direction outside the city. Civilized tombs were piled up, and they entered the base of the people below, and then horrific disasters and catastrophes broke out..."
"Everyone is gone. We don't know if they are dead or something else. Nearly half a million people are gone, including soldiers, staff, researchers... and people above."
"The people above!?" Lu Yuanming asked immediately: "The people above are gone too? What happened?"
Alfred trembled slightly, and he lowered his head and said: "I don't know, I was not directly responsible for all of this at that time. The government personnel who were really directly responsible for all of this, as well as more than half of the researchers and scientists, and more than Hundreds of rich people, the heads of more than five groups, and related personnel... they all disappeared, and it was later speculated that at least more than 200,000 people have disappeared in the living world."
"Wait a minute." Lu Yuanming was even more surprised. He asked again: "What is guessing? If you are dead, you are dead. If you are gone, you are gone. Even if you are missing directly, you will know the specific number of people after counting. Ah, why is it a guess?”
"Because we have lost all memory of these disappeared people, including the surviving relatives of these disappeared people, including the files about them in the computer, and even all traces of their existence in human society in the past, all are gone. .”
Alfred spread his hands and said: "It's as if they have never existed. If it weren't for the lack of staff positions, the lack of government functions, and the lack of heads of large companies, we wouldn't even be able to These people are still doubtful whether they really exist, but according to our simulations afterwards, these people either had direct information exchange with the dark matter world during the return of the explorers, or they were people who had seen the transmission of dark matter information, and they were They disappeared together with the 500,000 people dispatched in the dark matter world. By the way, the forward base built by the dispatched personnel in New York City also disappeared. We can’t find the location of this base, all of them disappeared.”
"After that incident, Dark Matter New York City became the post-war ruins it is today, and we never sent any official government personnel down. Only then did we suddenly realize that downgrading from the material universe to the dark matter world might be The end of mankind and human civilization. It was also from that time that our main research direction began to shift from developing the dark matter world to preventing dimensionality reduction into the dark matter world. This has not changed at all until now."
Lu Yuanming was silent, thinking carefully about the accident that Alfred said. He was absolutely sure that this terrifying disappearance was definitely related to the unspeakable things in the wild.
"Yes, the end..."
Lu Yuanming stood up. As he walked towards the base, he murmured: "The end is coming."
"But it's not that reducing the dimension into the world of dark matter is the end of the world, but..."
Lu Yuanming didn't say the next words.
