"Did you know? In my calculation, the probability that these coordinates are a trap is more than 80%."

Tang Zhe'an said to Lu Yuanming privately: "Of course, this cannot be mentioned on the table, because as the name suggests, the coordinate of hope is our only hope to break the sterilization curse now, so even if we know it is a trap, We also have to jump in, but after this incident, the possibility of this coordinate being a trap is only about 50%."

Lu Yuanming asked in surprise: "Why? It is obvious that there is a problem with these coordinate points. If it is true according to your speculation, the smaller the super-light speed magnification, the greater the possibility of being attacked, and the greater the magnification, the higher the super-light speed magnification. The greater the possibility of getting a reward, isn’t this an artificial arrangement?”

"Yes, it was arranged by the golden race. Is there any problem?"

Tang Zhe'an looked at Lu Yuanming in surprise and said: "The golden race in the golden age, didn't they allied forces to invade the high-dimensional terror? Although I don't know how the golden alliance failed in the first place, if there really is a golden legacy, That must be what the coalition forces left behind. Could it be that they were full and felt it was fun to leave some legacy? It must be to fight against the high-dimensional fear and those divine corpses. In this way, the screening mechanism actually made this The coordinates are more real, otherwise do you think the divine corpse and high-dimensional fear will come up with a screening mechanism?"

Lu Yuanming was stunned for a moment. He followed Tang Zhe'an's logic and thought about it. The weak were eliminated and the strong were rewarded. This was indeed a complete screening mechanism, but if this screening mechanism was really left by the golden race, , this is too cruel...

"Do you think it's too cruel?"

Tang Zhe'an didn't even need Lu Yuanming to speak. He said directly: "You are too naive, aren't you? This is not a house game, this is the cruelest truth and reality in the cold universe! That high-dimensional fear is What? That is the source of all turmoil and terror. The future... I mean, why is the dark matter world on our original timeline so full of demons? "

"Human civilization has just reduced its dimensions, and immediately there are demons dancing wildly below. All kinds of ghosts, indescribable things, and completely unknown things are already waiting, as if they are eating, surrounding the human civilization that has not yet completely reduced its dimensions. Prepare to devour it, do you think that scene is normal?"

"What the Golden Alliance has to fight against is such a great terror! It is a war based on the entire universe. In this case, let alone a mere screening mechanism, it is a method of stimulating, concentrating, and cultivating all the civilizations in the universe. To become stronger and raise the Gu King among them, I don’t think this method is unusual, but it is just a screening mechanism to screen out the weakest civilizations, those unqualified civilizations, those who may be in this world of gods and gold. It’s not cruel at all to hold civilization back in a war that is inherited by race, right?”

Lu Yuanming was silent.

Although he still knew that what Tang Zhe'an said was true, he still couldn't let go of his attitude of completely treating other civilizations as ants and chess pieces.

Ever since he learned about the golden age, the golden race, and the golden spirit from the mouth of the demon Ace, Lu Yuanming has always had an inexplicable fondness for the golden race. It is a kind of longing, and it is a kind of admiration for the ancestors who rose up in despair. expectations.

Because according to Ace, in addition to not receiving the inheritance of the gods, humans can actually be regarded as a member of the golden race. This spirit of unity, sacrifice and courage, and never giving up in the face of all difficulties and obstacles is exactly the golden spirit. .

At this moment, he heard such a screening mechanism from Tang Zhe'an, and it was probably a screening mechanism left by the golden race. He felt really complicated now.

But what needs to be done still needs to be done.

What humans need most now is to confirm what the situation is on that side. Is there really an extreme cosmic environment, or is there really a hunter lurking in the dark, or is it a screening reward mechanism as Tang Zhe'an said?

In order to test the situation on that side, humans launched three curvature bubbles in succession in the following time, all of which were replaced by drones. Small curvature bubbles were ten times the speed of light, five times the speed of light, and three times the speed of light.

According to calculations, ten times the speed of light will reach the area in seven and a half months, and then more than a year and three years later, the feedback results of these three launches can be obtained respectively.

This is really a helpless result. Even with the super-light curvature navigation method, the scale of the universe is too large. It will take three years for humans to get all the feedback results. This is actually considered lucky, otherwise it would be It may take decades or hundreds of years to get a result.

The situation encountered by the exploration ship is classified as a top secret. Naturally, it cannot be leaked to the public, otherwise it may cause panic. Therefore, in the next time, the people are still working diligently, whether it is the mothership Unicron , or space fleets and mechas, all are being built steadily according to plan.

On the other side, although Lu Yuanming was anxious, he couldn't think about it now. After contacting the exploration ship many times and confirming that the exploration ship was still moving forward safely, he could only continue to focus on his work.

Of course, he didn't forget another thing, that was the endless roulette.

At that time, he was interrupted by the sudden encounter with the exploration ship. Afterwards, he found Tang Zhe'an and asked him about Endless Roulette. Tang Zhe'an naturally denied it, but under Lu Yuanming's "threat" to force him to go home, He finally relaxed.

"Yes, I did find traces of the Endless Roulette."

Tang Zhe'an said with an unhappy face: "This thing has killed many humans and has indeed grown after going through many big carnivals. Just like Zhang Hanqi was unable to enter in the subsequent big carnivals, it has the ability to Some kind of intelligent judgment program, this intelligent judgment can distinguish whether life is a threat to it."

"Obviously, when we return, your strength is too strong, so strong that even if it doesn't allow you to enter, you can smash it directly, so it doesn't dare to continue to cause trouble, but this It doesn’t mean it has left the containment... it’s probably something like special dark matter.”

Lu Yuanming asked doubtfully: "What do you mean? What does it mean that the contained object is probably something like special dark matter?"

Tang Zhe'an spread his hands and said: "Isn't this a guess? Your special dark matter block can be compatible with both the material world and the dark matter world, and it has almost miraculous power. In some cases, this is actually contrary to the law. Basic physical laws and conceptual logic, and isn't the same true for these contained objects? It's just that one is controllable and the other is uncontrollable. That's why I made this guess. These contained objects are probably because of our human civilization itself. As for what appeared, I don’t know how it came about or how it was formed. In short, these things cannot exist independently of human beings. This is my conclusion.”

"...Like a parasite?"

Lu Yuanming was thoughtful.

The Endless Roulette is a contained object that has not yet been contained. Judging from the outside world, it has existed for three to four thousand years, and tens of thousands of humans have died in its hands. And according to records, Endless Roulette is indeed constantly evolving.

"So where is the Endless Roulette now?" Lu Yuanming asked.

"In the game."

Tang Zhe'an admitted that he only discovered this situation recently, that is, people's enthusiasm for games has begun to rise. Some time ago, there was even a public opinion calling for the creation of virtual reality, and even forced the government to create a virtual reality in the world of Xianxia Preface. Experimental testing of the virtual reality environment. If there were not problems with the virtual reality environment, and there were big problems, it is likely that the human world would already be conducting research and development.

"...I was a little strange at the time. People's pursuit of entertainment is indeed eternal. It is human nature to have food, clothing, and lust, but why is it at this time? Logically speaking, even after the first five years, Plan, we have achieved brilliant results, but the sterilization curse is still a hurdle we cannot overcome. People will have needs for entertainment, rest, and play, but if they want to form public opinion, there are some problems."

Tang Zhe'an said: "So I collected the citizen information behind these public opinions and found that these citizens are all game enthusiasts."

Lu Yuanming asked strangely: "Is there any problem with this?"

"...No problem, the problem is their schedule."

Tang Zhe'an took out a form and said: "They have various types of work in various industries. Logically speaking, their work and rest times should be completely different. You can't ask a worker in outer space mining operations to be as good as one in the moon." Clerks go to and from work on time and sleep and wake up at the same time, right? But my selection report shows that these people who have the most intense public opinion in virtual reality have basically the same schedule, every ten to fifteen days Every day or so, they will inevitably stay up late one day, and they will stay up almost all night, and at this time, they are all playing games."

Lu Yuanming said hesitantly: "Could it be that the same game is doing some activities? I also stayed up late a few days ago, and a new online game is doing activities. It's so fun..."

Tang Zhe'an looked at Lu Yuanming with disdain, then he shook his head and said: "No, they are playing different games... Some of them are not even playing games, watching TV, watching animations, watching variety shows, or chatting all night Yes, do you understand? These people will go online with the same schedule every ten to fifteen days. No matter what they are doing, at this time, they will be online."

"So, I think I found Endless Roulette, a containment object based on the concept of a game, and now it's on our internet!"

"The outbreak of public opinion about virtual reality is also the result of its guidance. It wants to bring all of us humans into the 'game' world!"
