Resurrection Empire

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years passed by.

The three-party coalition's joint encirclement and annihilation war against the Machine Empire has begun.

This is the largest war unprecedented in human history for tens of millions of years.

In order to stabilize the rear area as soon as possible, the three coalition forces used their strongest mobilization capabilities from the beginning and used full firepower.

The scale of troop mobilization is also the largest in history.

In fact, the tripartite coalition has been preparing for war for a long time. In the past timeline of the cycle of destruction, the coalition's all-out attack should have started less than two years after the Red Front Army arrived in the Hundred Regiments Star Territory.

In many normal historical lines in the past, the Hundred Regiments Star Region and the Far Frontier Star Region were originally important springboards for the coalition forces to launch a full-scale attack.

The subspace channel that was destroyed by Ren Zhong was originally the strategic transportation channel center.

In this cycle of destruction, the sudden rise of Ren Zhong and the Red Front Army disrupted the normal course of history and delayed the all-out war for more than two thousand years, but what should come will eventually come.

Moreover, due to the extra two thousand years of preparation, even if the offensive route changed, the size of the troops mobilized by the three-party coalition not only did not shrink, but actually increased significantly.

The coalition's offensive strategy has also changed. It is no longer as steady and slow as it was in the past cycle of destruction, but it is rushing forward and extremely fast.

The reason is very simple. The three parties of the coalition also know that the Red Front Army is not stable and may tear up the armistice treaty at any time. The Mechanical Empire must be completely defeated as soon as possible, so that they can turn around and take care of the Red Front Army slowly, so that there will be no long nights and dreams.

Regardless of the chaos in the outside world, the Red Front Legion was peaceful and peaceful in the Hundred Regiments Star Territory, and everything was as usual.

On this day, Ren Zhong sat together with the gray-haired Yang Misi and Xu Guangnian to discuss and communicate.

Now he finally came to a conclusion.

The lifespan of stars in the ancient disk galaxy is indeed abnormal.

This galaxy is incredibly old.

Based on a comprehensive analysis of the source stars and many planets in the Hundred Clusters of Star Fields, it can be concluded that the Gupan Galaxy really has an unscientifically long history, at least more than a trillion years.

But this is obviously inconsistent with the laws of the universe and contradicts the lifespan of stars in the galaxy. This contradiction also puzzled Ren Zhong and the people at the Chifeng Academy of Sciences for a long time, until the Chifeng Engineering Academy spent decades creating a powerful star probe that successfully penetrated into the depths of a star in a hundred-cluster star field. , and after extracting the sample material from the photospheric region inside the star, things turned around.

After using ultra-high-precision detection equipment, Xu Guangnian's team finally determined the true lifespan of these "young" stars, which is more than a trillion years.

The principle of this probe seems simple, but to withstand the continuous ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure inside the star, it is very difficult to manufacture. The four human races in the ancient disk galaxy have never successfully made it before.

In short, one contradiction has been resolved.

The next focus is to resolve the contradiction between the lifespan of stars and planets and the large black hole in the center of the ancient disk galaxy.

This did not take much effort, and Ren Zhong came up with a theoretical conjecture.

According to the traditional black hole lifetime theory, the mass and volume of a black hole are positively correlated with its lifetime. The longer the life of a black hole, the greater its mass and volume. When the black hole material cannot be extracted for precise analysis, the only feasible way is to calculate the black hole lifespan through mathematical formulas based on the above theory. This is why Xu Guangnian believes that the lifespan of the large black hole in the center of the ancient disk is only 4.8 billion years. But this is clearly wrong.

The core point of Ren Zhong's conjecture is that he believes that the central black hole has been losing mass abnormally, so it appears to be too "young".

As for the reason why large black holes lose mass, Ren Zhong doesn’t know yet, but this theory is certainly correct.

Moreover, Ren Zhong can be sure that the mass lost by large black holes is inevitably related to the abnormal lifespan of stars.

Ren Zhong said to Yang Misi and Xu Guangnian: "There must be a periodic phenomenon. When this phenomenon occurs, the large black hole in the center of the ancient disk loses mass. This mass is converted into energy and is emitted, spread into the ancient disk galaxy, and then in the ancient disk. When it is close to the star, it is affected by the strong gravitational field of the star, is converted back into a material state, is captured and absorbed by the star, and covers the surface of the star. The energy of the star is replenished, the life cycle is reversed, and the life span is extended."

"As for the lifespan of planets, it is actually similar to stars, but different. We have detected that except for the anomalies on the source star, other planets, asteroids, and space meteorites all have one thing in common. If The conventional half-life theory is used to detect and estimate its lifespan, which is probably in the range of 4 billion to 4.8 billion years. However, if the accuracy of the monitoring method is increased to the level of fourth-level god particles, the composition of these stars can be immediately detected. The lifespan of microscopic particles exceeds trillions of years. Obviously, when periodic phenomena occur, the planets in the ancient disk galaxy are also affected."

"I suspect that these planets have even been completely broken up, destroyed and then reorganized. This is like rebuilding. The depth of destruction has reached the level of third-level god particles."

Although Ren Zhong's views are all based on speculation, they are actually getting closer to the truth.

Yang Misi also agreed with these speculations.

Next, the focus of scientific research work naturally shifted to figuring out what the cyclical phenomenon Ren Zhong mentioned was.

This did not take too much time, and all the clues were easily pointed to one thing, which was the most abnormal thing in the ancient disk galaxy - a super large quasar close to the large black hole in the center of the ancient disk.

This involves cognitive bias.

For the four races in the Archaic Galaxy, quasars have existed since time immemorial. Its history of existence is much longer than that of human beings.

No one would find quasars anomalous or "unnatural." Humans in the Ancient Pan Galaxy only conventionally take it as a normal cosmic phenomenon, just like humans on Earth believe that the sun always rises in the morning.

The Machinery Empire and the other three tribes have of course tried to study quasars in their long history of development, but they were confused by the supernatural properties of this thing and were completely unable to eat pumpkins.

It exists clearly and stays there. It also has a collision volume and is indestructible. But it just has no weight and has no gravitational reaction with other surrounding materials.

No matter what means humans use to try to break it open to study its internal structure, it is all in vain.

No matter whether it is an energy weapon or a live ammunition weapon, even a laboratory-grade cutting machine cannot leave the slightest trace on its surface.

Only in one case will it give feedback on human behavior.

That is, when humans send the contribution point code to it with a specific frequency of information flow, it will quickly feedback the calculation results.

This calculation result is exactly the constant parameter in the grand unified formula.

Every time information is exchanged, mankind will get closer to obtaining the "real" grand unified formula.

In addition to the grand unified formula, Quasar will often come up with some conclusive basic scientific theories. This can also greatly improve the level of human scientific and technological knowledge.

In the early years, the Mechanical Empire, Ascendants, Pilgrims and Psychic Demons all benefited greatly from Quasar. However, in the past two to three million years, Quasar has no longer fed back other basic knowledge and only focused on the Great Unification. Formula for calculation.

But all parties in the human race do not care about this. No matter which party they are, they firmly believe that as long as they persevere, sooner or later they will be able to master the true secrets of the universe with the help of this wonder of the universe.

Moreover, Quasar seems to be able to sense the respective spheres of influence of the four countries. The more territory someone controls, the more thoughtful the computing services it provides.

For example, during the heyday of the Mechanical Empire, when the other three races had never been born, the Mechanical Empire could freely use it alone all year round.

But after the Ascendants, Pilgrims and Psychic Demons separated and suddenly emerged, taking away a large area of ​​the Machinery Empire's territory, the Quasar would only last less than three months in an average source star year cycle. Will feed back information about the Mechanical Empire.

The proportion of this time is completely proportional to the territory occupied by the mechanical empire.

There is no need to think carefully, just think with your toes and you will know that there is something wrong with the quasar.

But this is simple to say, but it is impossible for other humans in the empire to break out of this shackles of thinking and doubt the existence of quasars. It is very unscientific and abnormal.

Of course, within the Chifeng clan, this kind of mental shackles composed of common sense has long since disappeared.

If Ren Zhong says it has a problem, then it must have a problem.

Ren Zhong's authority is even higher than the common sense of the universe, because the existence of Ren Zhong has always been against common sense.

After arranging the next scientific tasks and development direction, Ren Zhongping retired from the others and began to "travel" alone on the Source Star.

He first changed his appearance, then asked Sun Ai to cover his whereabouts, and returned to the dense forest where he first woke up.

When Ren Zhong led the team to leave Yuanxing, Wen Lei and Yu Jin, who stayed behind at Yuanxing, had already designated this place as an important natural landscape reserve and completely maintained the ecological environment here.

When Xu Guangnian collected samples here, he was not blocked because he had a permit signed by Ren Zhong himself.

The natural landscape here is almost unchanged from the past.

The rock that had bruised his buttocks was still there.

The large blue moss-covered tree against which he had rested was still standing.

The stream that saved half his life is still flowing.

The only difference is that his own and those abandoned and malfunctioning freezers have disappeared.

The metal materials were chewed up and digested by the beasts, and some remaining non-metallic materials were also collected. He did this himself.

Ren Zhong returned to the place where his freezer had been, then raised his right hand and opened his watch.

A vivid three-dimensional projection appeared in front of him.

In the projection, Sun Ai used a simulation algorithm to make the flat content three-dimensional to generate a real-life visual video.

This scene is exactly the video recorded in his freezer.

When he left, he took away the auxiliary brain center of the cryostat and saved this video. To this day, this is also the last link between Ren Zhong and his past self.

Looking at his parents' voices and smiles, Ren Zhong was crazy for a moment.

He slowly raised his hand and reached out, wanting to touch his mother's hand, but he missed it.

Ren Zhong came back to his senses with horror and realized that this was just a virtual scene.

Although he appeared calm and thoughtful in front of others, at this moment, when he was alone, he could finally vent his emotions unscrupulously.

He murmured to himself: "I didn't expect that trillions of years have actually passed. The Milky Way should have been gone for a long time. Just like the three spiral galaxies, it disappeared and resurrected, but it has long since changed. There can be no more accidents. Happened. No wonder I have pointed the astronomical telescope at the Laniakea supergalaxy group for so long and found nothing. With my current big data analysis capabilities and information observation accuracy, if the Milky Way is still there, I should have been able to see it long ago ”

"I don't have a home anymore."

"Time buries everything."

In the distance, the virtual sun projected on the space film is setting, as if the sun is really setting.

Ren Zhong's shadow was lengthened.

At this moment, he had already felt what the Lord of the Nameless City called the "sense of loneliness", which was so strong that it almost engulfed him.

A long time passed, and Ren Zhong finally regained his composure.

There were still questions in his mind.

Human beings in the Gupan Galaxy are still killing each other under the control of unknown enemies. The people are in dire straits, miserable and miserable.

Ren Zhong knew that he couldn't fall down yet and had to hold on.

Even if he no longer has a home in reality, at least the memories and beliefs in his heart are still there.

"At least I still have this video."

Ren Zhong called up the video of his parents' last words again. It was no longer as sentimental as before, but only a little more responsible.

He also thought to himself, if my parents and my younger brother, whom I have never met, knew that I was still fighting for the rise of mankind even after trillions of years, they would definitely be proud of me.

Perhaps, one day, when our technology continues to advance, when we really master the Grand Unification Formula, when our God Particles really reach the realm of God, can I turn back time, or see The human soul, and the possible soul world after death?

Can I see them in the afterlife?

Wait, video...

If it has been trillions of years, why can the data in the basic semiconductor carrier still be retained?

Why are there still level four microscopic particles in the soil of this dense forest that have a real lifespan of only 4.6 billion years?

At this moment, an idea flashed in Ren Zhong's mind.

A bold idea suddenly came to his mind.

…

"I want to return to Source Star. To be precise, I want to return to the place where Source Star once stayed. I will go back alone. You are responsible for staying here."

In the top-secret conference room, Ren Zhong said this in front of Ju Qingmeng, Ma Xiaoling, Yu Jin, Hu Yang and other core management personnel.

Of course, Ren Zhong didn’t finish his words.

To be more precise, he wanted to go back to the moment he woke up on the Source Star, where the dense forest was located at the absolutely precise coordinates in the three-dimensional universe.

He had already guessed that there was an absolutely static subspace there.

This is both his intuition and his bold judgment based on the knowledge he possesses.

Of course, even if he really goes back and finds the absolutely static subspace, he may not be able to solve all the mysteries immediately.

For example, his cryogenic chamber has to be transported from the earth to here, and it has covered a distance of more than one billion light-years. This will definitely take a long time, and the data storage technology that is only at the level of the 21st century should have expired long ago.

But in short, if you have doubts in your heart but don't think about it, you are destined to gain nothing.

Only those who persevere can overcome thousands of mountains and rivers.
