Chapter 391 391. Wasteland

Qiao Mu saw that the early development of this civilization was similar to that of human civilization.

A civilization ignited by flames, a history of repeated wars, followed by technological explosions, but unlike the real world, this civilization did not point out the technology tree for exploring the universe. Instead, it developed deeply in electronic machinery and biological sciences.

It's just that the basic parameters of this world contain disasters. Soon, insect swarms, natural disasters, strange infectious diseases, and all kinds of disasters will strike.

After research and discussion, the humans in this world came up with three options.

One is to work hard to study aerospace technology, strive to immigrate to the universe, and find a new home.

One is to transform itself to adapt to the changed planetary environment.

One is consciousness uploading, implanting one's own consciousness into the computer, and mechanically ascending.

Supporters of the three options refused to give in to each other, because the resources of civilization could only be provided to one of them, which triggered various attacks and internal fights. Some institutions secretly studied it, while others tried to destroy it.

In the end, it was the genius discovery of one researcher that ended the dispute.

He developed a method to upload human consciousness to insect-like creatures, so that the will can be unified and civilization can continue.

Under the intensifying natural disasters, human beings went crazy in order to survive, and finally agreed to such a plan. The consciousness of all human beings was uploaded, leaving only a small number of people contaminated by infectious diseases who were not selected.

Afterwards, the swarm of insects that merged with humans resisted natural disasters and became the masters of the world, but they no longer had a civilization to speak of. Only the survivors with infectious diseases and short lifespans lingered on the planet that was gradually becoming desertified, and they were not the same as the once human beings. swarm struggle.

"At first glance, it looks like a good seed from a foreign land."

Qiao Mu commented.

He asked Xiao Ai to download the information of this world, think for a moment, pinch himself, put it into this world, and let it develop freely.

Not long after, Qiao Mu saw that in the game, he was caught by a swarm of insects. Because he could not be killed or eaten, he was quickly pulled next to the insect queen who produced these insects. Then there were some things that cannot be described in detail. After a few years passed, Qiao Mu in the game took on the shape of an insect queen. She hugged two for three years, and she was like a spider sporulation, so densely packed that the entire nest was filled with insect eggs.

“A rare experience!”

Qiao Mu had never given birth to a child in his life. He couldn't help but stroke his belly, as if there were countless insect eggs squirming inside.

"It's a pity that it's too harsh and can't be broadcast!"

He tried to use [Ghost] to squeeze friends like Wushan, Qianyun, and Su Hong into the world at different times to see if they could bring about any changes. He found that sometimes the world can actually change. The future changes.

For example, the simulated Kiriyama was thrown into a time before he had ascended, and he ran around to integrate it, and actually found a way to avoid disaster without turning into a bug, even though in the end, humans were only one thousandth of what they were before. , but after all, civilization is continued.

Another example is to throw simulated shallow clouds into the same time and space. Within a few decades, people on the entire planet have become immortal, no longer afraid of natural disasters, and have developed a completely different civilization.

After thinking about it, Qiao Mu threw a few old friends into different time and space.

".really."

Qiao Mu observed it for a while and realized something was wrong.

For example, if he first throws the simulated Su Hong into a world where swarms of insects are raging, then no matter how he throws the simulated Wushan or the simulated Qianyun into the previous time and space, he will not be able to achieve the previous purpose of saving humans in this world.

Even with the same variables, the same results cannot be achieved.

Then there is only one answer.

Qiao Mu repeatedly tested and made the simulated Su Hong live and die, and quickly confirmed his guess.

At least in this simulation game world, if Qiao Mu first puts the simulated person into the future, then no matter how he operates, he cannot completely change the past.

For example, the simulated Wushan could have run and united to unite the whole world and survive the natural disaster, but if he had put Su Hong in the future in advance, then although Wushan's behavior could unite these people, they would eventually fall apart and evolve into The world after destruction.

It is as if the arrival of Simulated Su Hong has caused the future of this world to be fixed. Even if someone travels back in time, they cannot change the future.

This is a very counter-intuitive thing.

Because as we all know, time keeps moving forward. The past can change the future, but the future will not affect the past.

But in this simulation game, if you see the future first, then the future will be fixed, making it impossible to change the past that might have been changeable.

Thinking of this, Qiao Mu did another thing. He allowed the world to develop normally from the beginning until the end. Qiao Mu saw that the world was finally destroyed and turned into a dead wasteland.

He turned back time and put the simulated Su Hong into this world, allowing Su Hong to witness the destruction of this world.

Later, Qiao Mu threw other simulated friends into the wasteland's past.

No matter how hard everyone works and how they change, in the end, the world will reach the same destination by different paths, and there is only one path to destruction.

"Pity."

Qiao Mu sighed.

He searched the Internet and found that there seemed to be a physical explanation for this situation.

For example, experiments that verify the particle and wave nature of light will show a similar phenomenon of the future affecting the past.

"So, because of my observations, the ending of this world is fixed?"

Qiao Mu felt strange.

He tried for several more days, selected several planets with different forms of civilization, and conducted repeated experiments to verify his conjecture.

At least in this game, if an external character is inserted and sees the ending of civilization in advance, then no matter what is added before, it cannot change the final ending.

But conversely, if no foreign characters are placed at the end, even if the player observes the ending in advance, they can still change the future by placing characters in the past.

"So, if we compare it to the game of God's Chosen, if we go to the future of Penglai or the Academy in advance, then this future will also be fixed?"

Qiao Mu thought that he had been to the academy twice, both in chronological order. However, because he had already seen the future of human extinction in the academy, even if he entered the past of the academy again, he would not be able to change the extinction of humanity. of the future.

"Is this why the boss said, don't try to change the history in the Chosen game?"

Qiao Mu remembered what Zhou Mingke said to him when he first completed the task.

At that time, he thought that because the mission happened in the past, there was no way to change it. Now it seems that all missions are the same.

"So, what is the purpose of the Chosen Game?"

Qiao Mu thought.
