Chapter 1144 Doing Something Is Better than Doing Nothing

Lu Zhou originally thought that the plot would end here, but he didn't expect that the subtitles "game over" or "true end" didn't float out of his field of vision as he expected, so that he didn't even know whether he had completed the void memory or not. Synchronization, browse to all the clues in this memory.

With Dr. Ryan's exit, the consul announced the adjournment, and the clues about the oracle were interrupted here, and there seemed to be no more context in the plot.

After leaving the conference hall, Lu Zhou followed General Saines back to the station. After returning the equipment, he applied to leave the team, and wandered aimlessly around the world by rail train.

Although the barriers of class are strict, the world is unexpectedly more prosperous and complicated than he imagined.

In this ring world, there are industrial zones specialized in the production of consumer goods, commercial zones responsible for meeting citizens’ shopping and entertainment needs, as well as college zones, planting zones, high-density and low-density residential areas, natural landscape protection areas, and so on.

People living here do not need to work very hard to enjoy a relatively rich life. And because the income of the same class is relatively average, there is almost no communication between different classes, so the gap between the rich and the poor does not seem to be obvious here, and everyone lives in peace in their own utopia.

As for the currency that is used here, it is something translated as credit points.

Because of inheriting the property of the upper class, this soldier named Reinhardt made a windfall, and was appreciated by his superiors for his outstanding performance in operations. Most of his future "life" life will be smooth sailing up.

Not paying too much attention to these minutiae, Lu Zhou went straight to the college area and found the library closest to him on the map.

However, to his disappointment, as he had guessed, many deeper information such as specific techniques and knowledge were blurred out in this memory.

When I opened the book, I could only see a cloud of indistinct fog, and it was the same when I looked up relevant information on the Internet. The knowledge that was too profound was not recorded in this memory at all. The more I dig deeper, the more I can Feel the thinness of its content.

It's like a dream, only abstract outlines can be seen, and there is no way to dig deeper.

If he just followed the plot all the way through the rules, he might not feel that this was a dream at all, but once his behavior stopped following the rules, he could touch the invisible wall everywhere.

At this moment, he is like Michael de Santa who got through the finale in GTA5, wandering aimlessly in the streets of Los Santos, looking for the unknown existence while sightseeing the local customs. "Easter eggs".

But at least for now, he didn't find any more clues.

Except for a huge bounty, Dr. Ryan only left him a lot of suspense about the "natural disaster" and that advanced civilization.

But what exactly is a natural disaster?

The story seems to have ended here...

...

Taking off his helmet, Lu Zhou sat up from the bed, as if trying to cool down his overheated brain, and took a deep breath of the cold air in the underground laboratory.

Controlling the drone, Xiao Ai floated unsteadily to his side, and a line of text popped out from the hanging small TV.

【Master, do you need me to pour you a glass of water? 0.0】

Lu Zhou: "Well, please."

The mechanical arm on the wall started to move, and quickly handed the cup of cold water to Lu Zhou.

After taking the cup and drinking it in one gulp, Lu Zhou pondered for a while, then suddenly said.

"Xiao Ai."

Xiao Ai: [What's the matter? (＞▽＜)】

Lu Zhou: "In your database, is there any information about the Jialan civilization? I mean... except the one from Void Memory."

Xiao Ai: [It doesn’t seem to be there... Is there something wrong? ┌|*｀|┘】

That's it.

After Lu Zhou thought for a moment, he shook his head.

"……nothing."

After that, Lu Zhou stood up and walked towards the elevator.

...

The memory of the void came to an end for now.

However, the remaining suspense still lingers in Lu Zhou's mind.

What is that natural disaster that frightens even higher civilizations than the Jialan civilization?

What kind of crisis can be called unprecedented?

Including that strange drop flying to the center of the galaxy, what exactly is it trying to do?

Back in the dean's office, Lu Zhou, who was sitting at the desk, took out the notebook he always brought with him to record inspiration, and recorded his discoveries in it.

The pen stopped and his index finger lightly tapped on the notebook. After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhou chewed over and over again what he had heard from that memory.

"A natural disaster..."

This is obviously a translated word. In the Jialan civilization or a civilization higher than the Jialan civilization, there should be other corresponding phrases.

In academic research, the most taboo thing is to conduct research with second-hand materials translated by others, not to mention that what he sees is already third-hand materials.

However, it is almost impossible to study the original meaning of that oracle. The memory sent to him by the system has translated all languages ​​except the modal particles into Chinese that he can understand. .

What's more, with the current technological level of human civilization, it may be difficult to translate the contents of the oracle.

"The only thing that can be confirmed now is that the system is definitely not sent by the Jialan civilization..."

With the morality of Jialan civilization, even if human civilization is discovered, I am afraid it will not be taken seriously.

Let alone state-level actions, even corporate actions must consider costs and benefits, let alone rise to the height of the entire civilization.

Apart from the differences in aesthetics, compared to other planets in the universe, except for an atmospheric environment, the resources on the earth are really not that rich, and the development difficulty is also more difficult than other low-gravity, no-gravity planets. Atmospheric planets are much more difficult.

A civilization that can create a ring world, it is hard to imagine that they will be obsessed with terrestrial planets. Whether it needs gas resources or fresh water, it can be collected from specialized glacial planets or gaseous planets, and the efficiency is much higher, and even a series of processing procedures such as "purification" can be avoided.

Not to mention spending so much effort to help a group of "ants" improve technology and improve their lives.

This kind of behavior that only xenophiles would do is more like what the "higher civilization" that emits strange drops to warn other civilizations may do.

However this goes back to the original question.

What is the purpose of that advanced civilization?

Or--

Are they the so-called void?

After thinking for a long time, Lu Zhou had no choice but to record this series of guesses for the time being.

Everything has a sequence, obviously the work on the 750GeV signal is far more urgent than exploring the secrets and strange drops of the void.

Now the entire physics community is expecting him to come up with enough amazing clues, even if he doesn't think for himself, he has to give a little confidence to those who believe in him.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Zhou finally took out his mobile phone, made several calls, and finally contacted the person in charge of the "Ali Project"—Professor Zhang Tianming, a researcher at the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

This gravitational wave observatory located in the snow area, which started construction in 2017 and was first tested in 2020, is probably the original gravitational wave observatory with the highest altitude in the world.

Although he didn't report much hope, Lu Zhou still asked Professor Zhang for the observation data of gravitational waves.

Even as a pastime to pass the time in your spare time.

Doing something is better than doing nothing.
