Chapter 453 Qingshan

As Beacon No. 1 lit up, Ye Zhou also returned to the void of the simulator, and a line of settlement subtitles appeared in front of his eyes.

[End of plot simulation beyond entropy increase]

[Simulation score: A]

[Achieve the ending: Beacon]

[Reward: ANR-HT materials (ending reward)]

[Reward: Entropy increase jump monitor (reward for men majoring in engineering)]

[Reward: 120 energy points]

[The ending can be watched]

Ye Zhou already knew that this simulation was related to the first wall material, and judging from the description given by the system, this so-called ANR-HT material was exactly the neutron radiation-resistant and high-temperature resistant material he needed, so , and he didn’t spend too much time studying material documents.

As for the entropy increase jump monitor, this is a good thing.

The emergence of quantum ghosts has already brought a great sense of crisis to Ye Zhou. According to the current situation, this sense of crisis is not groundless. After quantum technology opens the adjacent dimensional channel, the timeline he belongs to China is also likely to face a major crisis of invasion from neighboring dimensions.

Prepare for it in advance so you can be prepared when the day comes.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou clicked on the ending summary page, and a few lines of subtitles appeared instantly.

[After gathering more than 30% of the country’s high-energy laser energy, Fenghuo No. 1 was finally successfully ignited]

[This giant energy tuning device breaks the blockade of the human world caused by the increasing rate of entropy increase]

[The "Sky Mending Plan" is launched, and the beacon equipment is fully deployed]

[In the next hundreds of years, the energy exchange between adjacent dimensions was limited to dozens of large energy tuning devices, and the entropy increase rate basically returned to normal]

[Thereafter, China entered a period of technological development known as the "Era of Cyclones"]

[A large number of new technologies based on underlying physical rules have emerged, and human research on space and dimensions has further deepened]

[Ninety years later, the first adjacent dimensional channel was closed, and within the next twenty years, all adjacent dimensional channels disappeared]

[One hundred and twenty years later, humans took the initiative to open the adjacent dimension channel, and the human territory officially entered the adjacent dimension]

[Since then, humans have finally been able to answer the Fermi Paradox]

[The conclusion is as expected by everyone: to enter space, you must first enter the adjacent dimension]

[From this moment on, the era of stars and sea officially begins]

After reading the summary of the ending, Ye Zhou breathed a long sigh of relief. In fact, he was not surprised by the conclusion.

The so-called Fermi Paradox states that there should be many intelligent civilizations in the vast universe, but humans have never observed any truly powerful evidence that can support the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations. Many people believe that the universe is a big sieve. Most civilizations have been stillborn before they have developed enough to enter the universe, but no one can come up with a practical and reliable explanation.

Now, adjacent dimension theory provides this explanation.

On the one hand, for a civilization, the universe is too barren. The habitable galaxies are like ponds. If you want to jump from one nutrient-rich pond to another, you need to consume almost It is the energy of the entire planetary system, and this is obviously not something that a first-level civilization can do.

But if a civilization wants to break through the boundaries of the first level, it will inevitably face attacks from adjacent dimensions--under their energy suffocation strategy, only a very small number of civilizations can survive.

This is the truth of the Fermi Paradox. Civilizations were indeed wiped out before they developed, but they were not wiped out by other civilizations in the same universe, but by another universe in an adjacent dimension.

It seems dark, but if you think about it carefully, it's actually just a commonplace thing.

Squeezing other countries' resources dry and using them for their own development, isn't this what humans have always done?

Ye Zhou shook his head. The rules about adjacent dimensions might be more complicated than what he thought now, but he didn't have time to think about it. What he wanted to do now was to enter the ending as soon as possible and see. The world after the beacon was lit.

He returned to the ending review interface and lightly touched the option for the three-stage ending. Then, the screen fell into darkness, and two large characters made of flames appeared in front of his eyes:

war.

The darkness gradually faded away, and Ye Zhou found that he was sitting on a high mountain. In front of him were the terraces spiraling up like golden stairs, and beside him were the two people he was already familiar with in the simulator.

Su Shu, and the character he simulated at the time - now he knows, the other person's name is Yu Tian.

The two of them sat on a huge rock beside the terraces, looking at Fenghuo No. 1, which was burning like the sun not far away. After a long time, Su Shu said:

"Every time I see Fenghuo 1 from this angle for three years, it still feels like a dream. I really didn't expect that we could actually succeed."

"Tian'er, actually do you know that I often dream about the scene that day? After I woke up, I was thinking, if you didn't stop me at that time, if I really rushed forward like that, wouldn't we have been together? Now?"

"Looking back, I was really desperate at that time. I actually didn't even think about accomplishing this thing. I just gave up on myself and wanted to sacrifice myself and then let it go."

"I'm not as good as you at this point. You can always find the most rational solution."

Yu Tian on the side smiled and replied:

"I can actually see that you essentially have a self-destructive personality. You do things regardless of the cost - but we do need people like you."

"Sometimes, rationality cannot solve all problems. When you should be crazy, you have to be crazy."

"Then do you think I'm too crazy?"

Looking at Su Shu's cunning smile, Yu Tian replied calmly:

"I'm still young enough to bear it."

"Hahahahaha, wasn't you the one who said your back hurt just now?"

".That's just a bit of physical exhaustion. Let's go, rest enough, and continue going up the mountain."

As he spoke, Yu Tian took Su Shu's hand, and the two jumped off the stone and walked slowly along the road in the field to the top of the mountain.

"The experience of the Fenghuo project has been initially successful. The next step will be to fully roll out the project. What are your plans?"

Su Shu asked, holding Yu Tian's hand and leaning against him.

Yu Tian pondered for a moment and replied:

"Let's continue to push forward. The duration of this project must be at least 30 years. We still have a lot to do. There is no way to stop. The sacrifices of thousands of people and the struggles of hundreds of millions of people require me to stop now. , I really can’t do it.”

"It's just that I have wronged you. Our plan to have a child has to be postponed again."

"It doesn't matter, we are still young."

Su Shu chuckled, and the two of them supported each other and climbed to the top of the mountain. On the mountain with the top almost flattened, Ye Zhou saw an astonishing picture.

Countless tombstones stand densely on the top of the mountain, and all of them are facing the same direction.

The direction of Fenghuo No.1.

The two of them put away their joking expressions, and like other people walking through the cemetery, they began to place offerings on the graves of several acquaintances.

"My master's wine, Brother Wen's tobacco, Xiaoyue's rainbow candies, Duoduo's soy sauce beef, what else? Oh yes, Lao Liu's mahjong - it's mahjong every year, let's switch to poker next year? Let him play Are you going to change the gameplay next?”

Yu Tian smiled helplessly and replied:

"Old Liu will scold you to death when he hears this. He can only play mahjong, not Landlord. The night before he left, he even told me that he would teach me how to play bloody battle to the end next time. As a result, I have learned it now. He’s gone again.”

"But he's not very interesting. I lose every day in mahjong, and he doesn't know how to bless me. Well, I'll give him a poker next time."

The two talked casually about the past events of these old friends, while Ye Zhou squatted down and began to read the epitaphs on the tombstones one by one.

Some of these epitaphs were written in advance by the tomb owners themselves, and some were drawn up by their family members or organizational leaders. Each of them revealed their life and character in full.

"Lin Wen, 2419-2451, died at the age of 32. This was a determined warrior. At the last moment of his life, he tried to deliver a dangerous warning."

"Jing Yuying, 2400-2451, died at the age of 51. The ductile-brittle transition temperature of ANR-HT material is 6714.1567912 degrees Celsius. No one can break my record."

"Jiang Yue, 2425-2451, died at the age of 26. When you come to see me, remember to bring rainbow candies."

"Lin Duoduo, 2427-2451, died at the age of 24. Bring me some soybean by the way."

There is a small arrow on Lin Duoduo's epitaph, pointing to Jiang Yue's tomb nearby.

The two girls probably decided on their epitaphs in a not-so-serious joke, but they didn't expect that they would actually be buried together because of some accident.

"Bangs, 2410-2451, died at the age of 41. When I saw this line of words, I was probably dead. I had already expected this ending, because on April 17, 2451, I lost six consecutive years Make seven pairs of Qinglong."

This is probably the old Liu who loves playing mahjong in Su Shu's mouth. It can be seen that he really loves mahjong.

I wonder if he would be able to play a few more big games in another world.

"Xu Chen, 2420-2451, died at the age of 31. He was the youngest and most legendary captain of the Luan Bird Mothership. At the last moment, he gave up his ejection bay to a younger pilot."

"Fengwu, 2430-2451, died at the age of 21. He was an excellent pilot. He accompanied the crash of Luanniao 4 and never left his post."

"Lin Shen, 2380-2451, died at the age of 71. If the ignition fails, don't erect a monument for me."

"Lin Mao, 2406-2453, died at the age of 47. Tell the old man that Fenghuo 3 was successfully ignited and I will be there soon."

Ye Zhou took a deep breath. When he straightened up, the lights at the bottom of the mountain gradually turned on. Under the fading sunset, the bright light emitted by Fenghuo No. 1 silently illuminated the grass. A verdant cemetery.

Su Shu and Yu Tian in the distance also happened to straighten up. Ye Zhou heard Su Shu say:

"If something happens to us, where do you want to be buried? Let's pick a place in advance."

Yu Tian smiled and took Su Shu into his arms, and then replied:

"There is no need for a graveyard to bury my bones. There is no place in life without green hills. I can bury them anywhere, as long as they are with you."

"Besides, when this cemetery was first built, it was just a barren mountain. Isn't it full of life now?"

"Wherever we bury it, there will be green hills."
