Super Dimension Technology Era

The boring voyage expresses the epic of human history.

In the empty vacuum ocean, except for the occasional wandering small universe that passes by, there is eternal silence.

There is no matter in the vacuum ocean, and there is no color in nature. There is only the dark loneliness.

On the fleet, travelers on long voyages are either immersed in the research and development of science and technology, or living in ordinary moments, or living in a virtual world.

Eternal life brings eternal loneliness.

Huang Mingzhe has just woken up from the virtual world, feeling a little lost and confused. He has spent an ordinary and colorful hundred years in the virtual world again.

During that one hundred years, he blocked his memory and abilities and became a member of an ordinary primary civilization.

From the mother's womb to the mature child, from infancy and babbling, to the innocent childhood, to the teenager who burst into the second grade, the high-spirited young man, the middle-aged man who was severely beaten by society, and the old man who knows his destiny.

In that life, he lived an ordinary life again, felt that the world was not worth it, tried to grasp a trace of humanity, and passed away in regret.

After regaining his memory and strength, Huang Mingzhe regained his composure.

At this moment, he finally understood something.

Previously, Huang Mingzhe didn't understand how the Temple of Samsara and Qianye Universe played with low-level creatures, and he was also a little confused about Azathoth's silence.

And now he finally understands.

Too powerful technology not only brings eternal life to mankind, but also brings imperceptible crises to mankind.

This crisis is called "rule assimilation".

The moment humans use rule information to cast gene sequences, it represents the crisis of "rule assimilation", silently hanging over human civilization.

The so-called rule assimilation is due to the extensive application of rule information, which leads to the loss of humanity in intelligent creatures and the emergence of absolute rationality.

In other words, when humans use rules, the rules also make humans become part of the rules of the universe.

Give a chestnut.

The situation of human civilization at this time is similar to that of Taoist Hongjun in the ancient mythology, who lost his natural human sensibility and became a cold, absolute rationality.

Humanity is lucky because human civilization has advanced too fast, leading to the assimilation of the rules of the universe, and has not yet allowed human reason to destroy sensibility.

This situation also explains some of the inconsistencies in Qianye Universe, Samsara Temple, and Azathoth.

Because the emergence of rule assimilation will cause intelligent creatures to unknowingly become puppets of the rules of the universe and lose part of their humanity.

Chiba Universe maintains its own sensibility by raising other intelligent creatures in captivity and harvesting their emotions, memories, and experiences.

The operations of the Temple of Samsara and Qianye Universe have the same goal. They also use all kinds of strange reincarnations to maintain sensibility and avoid absolute rationality.

As for Azathoth, they are "losers". Judging from their various performances, they should have been assimilated by the rules and lost most of their sensibility.

As time goes by, if those Azathoths cannot find a way to return to their sensibility, they will completely become puppets of the rules of the universe and live like walking zombies.

"Teacher, are you okay?"

Li Qun and Li Rongwu asked with concern.

Huang Mingzhe waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm just thinking about some issues."

Huang Mingzhe then compiled his findings into a paper called "Research Report on the Assimilation of Universe Rules", which was published in the academic journal "New Era".

…

Wei Feng's body on another voyage fleet was refreshing the papers and journals in boredom.

Suddenly a new paper popped up in the "New Era" journal, and the signature was Huang Mingzhe 5817, and he suddenly became energetic.

After reading the "Research Report on the Assimilation of Universe Rules", Wei Feng couldn't calm down for a long time. Other human scientists were also worried.

After all, the conclusion of this paper, or the predicted future, is too dangerous.

Regardless of whether Huang Mingzhe was alarmist or not, the Science and Technology Commission immediately organized a large number of relevant scientists to conduct in-depth research on the possibility of cosmic assimilation.

However, the results of supercomputing analysis or the thinking of other scientists are consistent with Huang Mingzhe's conclusion.

This paper breaks the calm of new human civilization, because the consequences of rule assimilation are not the results that new human beings want to see.

After investigating the Chiba Universe, the Temple of Samsara, and Azathoth, a series of effects of the assimilation of the rules of the universe were explored by new human scientists.

Huang Mingzhe assimilated the rules and called it "physical and chemical syndrome". Physical and chemical syndrome can be divided into four stages, namely: early stage, middle stage, late stage and convergence.

The early stage is the current performance of New Humanity, the middle stage is like Chiba Universe and the Temple of Samsara, and the late stage is like Azathoth.

As for Chunyi, after reviewing a lot of information, Huang Mingzhe discovered that in the ancient ruins of the deserted universe island, the Yuanguang civilization might be "Chunyi".

However, Huang Mingzhe had some doubts and suspected that Yuan Guang civilization was wiped out by the "rules assimilation weapon". This was artificial "assimilation by the rules."

With the deepening of physical and chemical diseases, intelligent creatures will not only become more and more rational, but also lead to an inverse decline in creativity.

This characteristic of physical and chemical diseases explains that for many great god-level civilizations, after reaching the great god level, in addition to the initial rapid development, the subsequent development situation shows an increasingly slower trend.

This can be analyzed from the development history of Qianye Universe, Samsara Temple, and Azathoth.

Previously, the new humans thought that these great god-level civilizations had reached a bottleneck period in development and thus stagnated invariably.

But now it seems that there is definitely the influence of rationalism behind it.

Especially the Azathoth civilization. The entire civilization has almost fallen into silence. The vast majority of Azathoth people have been silent in various single universes, living in front of otakus for hundreds of millions of years.

Except for sleeping, eating instinctively, or releasing soul viruses out of control, the ghost agents discovered that these Azathothians had not conducted any scientific research or experiments at all.

Obviously their physical and chemical diseases are already in the terminal stages.

Due to the very fast promotion speed, new humans discovered physical and chemical diseases at an early stage. After relevant research, the Science and Technology Committee found that they can suppress the deterioration of physical and chemical diseases through continuous "reincarnation" through the virtual world.

As for eradicating physical and chemical diseases, that is impossible. As long as new humans use and study the rules of the universe, the rules of the universe will quietly assimilate humans.

If you want to get something, you have to give something.

Aboard the Eternal Truth.

Huang Mingzhe stood in the observation deck, looking at the endless darkness in front of him, and sighed involuntarily.

"Truth! You are an indescribable terror."

Li Qun on the side also looked helpless. For scientists like them who pursue the truth, physical and chemical syndrome is a double-edged sword.

Once trapped in the rules of the universe, it will become a puppet of the rules of the universe, and finally return to the universe completely.

Huang Mingzhe cheered up again: "From now on, according to the plan of the Science and Technology Committee, after conducting scientific research for a period of time, we must enter the virtual world and reincarnate."

"Understood." Li Rongwu and Li Qun nodded.

None of them want to lose their humanity. After all, humanity is the characteristic of intelligent creatures.

Losing humanity means losing life.
