This Game Is Too Realistic

In the infirmary of the guided missile cruiser Orion, Jiang Xuezhou, whose whole body was covered with bandages, was lying quietly on the medical bed, and the intensive care equipment beside him made a slight beeping sound.

People are still alive.

But didn't wake up.

Facing the slow electrocardiogram ripples on the holographic screen, Luo Yi, who had taken off his power armor, frowned slightly, looked at the doctor aside and said.

"Aren't you awake yet?"

Before the doctor spoke, the nursing staff on the side couldn't help but roll their eyes.

"It can't be that fast. It's a miracle that this child is alive, right?"

Luo Yi said with a bitter smile.

"I didn't mean to rush..."

He may indeed be a little impatient.

After all, everyone is confused about the situation in front of them.

Not just him, many people want to quickly find out what happened.

And what exactly went wrong.

Staring at the screen of the vital sign monitor, Lin Youyou, who had been silent for a long time and thought about it, suddenly raised his head.

"It sounds a little strange."

Luo Yi looked at her and asked.

"What's weird?"

The knuckle of her index finger touched her chin, Lin Youyou said thoughtfully.

"After we used the tissue repair gel, her wounds were indeed healing, but there was no change in metabolic levels and heart rate..."

When she said this, she suddenly remembered something and another word popped out of her mouth.

"It seems to have been the same before."

Luo Yi asked.

"Before?"

"That child named Ye Shi." Lin Youyou said truthfully while recalling the situation at the time, "We cured his injuries and repaired his prosthetic body, but his metabolic rate and heart rate did not show any symptoms. Signs of recovery... By the way, so is his body temperature. It is not a normal body temperature at all. I am always worried about him fainting. "

Luo Yi's brows wrinkled slightly.

At this time, a message from the staff of the eight departments suddenly popped up on the communication channel.

Without thinking much, he immediately pressed the button to connect.

"Hello?"

"Are you free now?"

"I'm always free and can tell you things directly."

The person on the other end said it immediately without any nonsense.

"Come to the reserve warehouse on the lower deck...the warehouse for emergency escape supplies. We found new clues here."

"I'll be there soon."

Luo nodded, hung up the phone, and then quickly left the infirmary and went to the warehouse that the manager of the Eight Departments mentioned on the phone.

The warehouse was not far from the room where he was on duty, but it was still a little far away from the infirmary.

It took him about five minutes to arrive at his destination, where he saw security personnel from the Eight Departments standing at the door of an open cabinet, and next to them stood the warehouse staff who reported the crime.

"What happened?"

The security officer who had called him earlier raised his hand to say hello, and then walked up to him with the board in hand.

"We just received a report from the staff of the emergency supplies management warehouse that a sleeping cabin was lost in the storage warehouse, and the lock of the storage cabinet was violently broken."

Luo Yi asked.

"Did you just discover it?"

The security officer nodded and said.

"Yes, it was fine when I checked yesterday, but it was gone when I checked it the next day. But the strange thing is that the security system failed. Is it very similar to before?"

Luo Yi frowned.

"Could it be that the person in charge of the warehouse made a mistake?"

No one can get out of the hyperspace channel here, and the lost dormant cabin must still be on the starship.

And the most important thing is that he can't figure out who would steal that thing.

The security officer shook his head.

"I don't think it should be...because we have already found the lost sleeping cabin."

Luo Yi was stunned for a moment and looked at him.

"…Then are there any questions?"

The security officer looked at him with a subtle expression and continued.

"The problem is... we found the lost hibernation module at the 'accident scene'."

…

In the Sheriff's Office on the lower deck, the main participants in the "Dawn" plan stood expressionless.

Including captain Zhao Tianhe, executive officer Wu Mengke, and Dr. Wu from the fifth department, etc.

Their plan was perfect.

But I don’t know why, but it failed in the end.

Looking at the sleeping girl on the screen, Zhao Tianhe stretched out his index finger and thumb to pinch the tired forehead, sighed slowly and said.

"It seems that the universe is more cruel than we imagined..."

Wu Mengke looked at him, with a hint of sadness in the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.

"So we...this is a failure?"

Zhao Tianhe did not answer.

What they were going through now was more complicated than any battle he had ever encountered.

His experience is of no use here.

"No, no..."

At this time, Dr. Wu, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

A pair of eyes looked at him.

Including Zhao Tianhe, his cousin Wu Mengke, the navigator and many other senior officers, as well as Sergeant Luo Yi who was standing at the door about to report the situation, etc...

He turned his attention to the monitoring terminal, looked at the unconscious girl on the holographic screen, and swallowed hard.

"We are successful, but the final result is different from what we originally imagined..."

Zhao Tianhe frowned.

"What's the meaning?"

Wu Xinghuan looked away from the holographic screen and looked at the captain intently.

"You judge that the Gemini will definitely launch a neutron torpedo after confirming that we refuse to execute the order... right?"

Zhao Tianhe nodded and said in a tone that left no room for doubt.

"Based on what I know about Song Yuchuan, the captain of the Gemini, he will definitely do this."

Wu Xinghuan asked immediately.

"What kind of person is he?"

Zhao Tianhe replied without thinking.

"That guy is a wolf. He is cruel to others and even more cruel to himself. If there are ten radicals among the one hundred people on a ship, he will consider the other ninety innocent people as necessary sacrifices."

Wu Xinghuan said step by step.

"So you opened fire without hesitation."

Zhao Tianhe did not shy away and simply nodded.

"Yes, there is no other way to deal with the beast. In that situation, you will die or I will live... Do we want to discuss this issue at this time?"

"We have to discuss this issue because it is the key to the situation we are in."

Wu Xinghuan stared at him intently and continued in a serious tone.

"Then now you are the captain of the Gemini, or you are Song Yuchuan himself... You are in front of a person who understands you very well. That guy will not show mercy. He will abandon all illusions and make the final decision at the first opportunity. Bad choice...if you were him, what would you choose?"

Zhao Tianhe's pupils dilated slightly.

That was an answer that almost didn't need to be thought about. The option automatically appeared in his mind.

"...I will strike first."

Wu Xinghuan stared at him and asked.

"You will definitely strike first. You know that your opponent knows very well that you are a beast. You know that your opponent will not have any hesitation or guilt in killing you... So, how do you plan to strike?"

The air in the Sheriff's Office became quiet, and pairs of eyes were staring at the two of them.

No one said anything.

Zhao Tianhe was silent for a long time and turned his gaze to one side.

"I'll hide the neutron bomb in the landing craft..."

Wu Mengke's eyes widened in astonishment, staring at Captain Zhao in disbelief.

The other officers on the side were the same, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.

What shocked them was not the commander's choice.

It is the best possible judgment made by their superiors who put themselves in the other party's shoes.

At that time the landing craft was most likely unmanned from the start...

Wu Xinghuan was not satisfied with this answer and continued to press forward.

"Is that all? To die with your opponent? You still have an unfinished mission. You should be cruel not only to others, but also to yourself..."

This time Zhao Tianhe was silent for a long time.

But in the end, he still said the last resort.

"...I will upload the thoughts of the entire crew of the ship to the shipboard server, and kill myself before the neutron torpedo the opponent is about to launch hits us, making us invincible from the beginning, and ensuring that Orders from the Lagrange Point space station will be carried out correctly even after our death."

To put it bluntly.

They are not fighting for their own interests, but for their respective beliefs.

They are not enemies.

Even after everything is over, he will consider atonement for what he has done——

For example, you can use the files and data backed up on the server to resurrect teammates you have killed with your own hands.

There is no need to continue to deduce what happened next. They already understand the whole story, and the truth is far more cruel than they imagined.

Zhao Tianhe's Adam's apple moved.

At that moment he seemed to have aged more than ten years.

"...I'm sorry, comrades, I still underestimated their determination."

"You don't need to be sorry. This is what happened... we just don't know because we are in the superposition state."

Wu Xinghuan shook his head slightly, then continued to cast his gaze on the girl on the holographic screen, and continued as if muttering to himself.

"To be honest... I was completely stunned the moment I saw her."

"We are all in a superposition state, and it is two different superposition states, coming from two completely parallel timelines α and β. There are two wrong points in our entanglement, one is the starting point and the other is the end point."

"The young man named Ye Shi is our starting point, and the girl named Jiang Xuezhou is our end point. And in their own cycle, everything is the other way around. The girl named Jiang Xuezhou is the starting point of everything, and that girl named Jiang Xuezhou is the starting point of everything. The young man is the end.”

"And we are already dead."

He eventually discovered new physics.

The spread of information can not only exceed the speed of light, but can even travel through time and space.

Their encounter across time and space is the best proof.

Whether this memory is ultimately interpreted as a dream, a sense of instant vision, or some kind of psychological effect... they have left evidence of their existence on each other's timelines.

He wanted to give this amazing discovery a name, but after some thought he gave up.

Let’s leave it to future generations to summarize…

About this special field of entanglement between information and information.

The room was quiet for a long time.

The person who finally broke the silence was Wu Mengke, the executive officer or commander of the starship.

"...I don't know why, but after hearing you say that we are dead, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief."

She smiled bitterly, looked at the screen of the monitoring terminal with complicated eyes and continued.

"At least...their existence proves that our choice was not wrong."

Zhao Tianhe glanced at her, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"which aspect?"

"Every aspect."

Wu Mengke thought for a while and then said.

"The boy we saw before was a resident of the shelter...this child should be a wastelander."

Zhao Tianhe nodded.

"Maybe."

Wu Mengke looked at him, a kind smile suddenly appeared on his always serious face.

"Actually... it's quite weird, isn't it? Although they are obviously different from us, I still see many things in them that we once praised, such as love and courage... and there are many others that I don't know. How should I describe it?”

Luo Yi understood the deacon lady's thoughts and pondered for a moment before speaking.

"What you want to say is... hope?"

Wu Mengke smiled and nodded.

"Probably. Anyway, I think it would be silly to leave the future to them."

They did not turn into beasts.

They are still human beings.

Since that's the case, there's nothing to be afraid of.

As for death.

That's just destined love.

She is like a kind old grandmother at this moment.

Although she is not that old, she is only middle-aged.

"Maybe you are right." Zhao Tianhe was silent for a while and then slowly spoke.

According to Dr. Wu's theory, there was no one on the Gemini landing craft from the beginning, only a fully loaded neutron bomb warhead, and there might even be bionic humans or intelligent programs that came to take over the starship.

In other words, it was not them and Gemini that formed the superposition state, but themselves.

And whether they died at the exit or entrance of the hyperspace voyage, their death was destined to happen.

In this case, the "Daybreak" plan would have been impossible to succeed from the beginning.

And they are destined to be unable to go to the future 200 years later to fulfill their agreement with that child.

After a pause, Zhao Tianhe looked at Dr. Wu Xinghuan.

"So according to your theory, there's nothing we can do...right?"

Wu Xinghuan shook his head.

"No, even if our death is destined... there is still love we can do."

Seeing a pair of eyes looking at him, he took a deep breath and continued talking.

"As I just said... we are in a superposition state at this moment. Even if our superposition state collapses in the future, in the remaining time that does not exist, we still can Made with love.”

Zhao Tianhe asked in a deep voice.

"What's that love?"

"Our exit." Wu Xinghuan stared at him intently and said categorically, "We can decide which future we have..."

Everyone looked at him.

The expression may be surprised, heavy, surprised, or unbelievable...

Zhao Tianhe continued to ask.

"...Can you explain it in detail?"

At this moment, Wu Xinghuan was calmer than ever before, and he connected all the confusing clues together.

"... We have indeed received information from the future, right? 䘓 is the quantum entanglement of the superposition state, and 䘓 is some kind of field that we don't know about. In short, we did see them."

"We share this common memory, even if this memory has not appeared in our timeline. We know that in 200 years an organization called the Alliance will appear. With ideals and enthusiasm, they will end the Wasteland Era and bring Sweep the old age into the grave, and then take our children to the new era! "

"That shared memory is their coordinates. What we want is there - the future where those children exist!"

Although this sounds like a dying fantasy, that shared memory is not completely fictitious, but a memory that actually exists in their minds.

And it’s a memory that resonates with all of them!

It is precisely because of that resonance with the future that they have not given up until now.

Zhao Tianhe looked at him seriously.

"How do we get there?"

"It's simple...not simple either. We must form a closed loop with their timeline!"

Looking at the dark-colored people who were getting serious, Wu Xinghuan turned his attention to Luo Yi who was standing at the door.

"I remember you did statistics. There were 227 people who heard the explosion... right?"

Luo nodded and spoke.

"Yes...and I have something else to report. The sleeping cabin we found in the landing craft was the sleeping cabin we lost."

Wu Xinghuan snapped his fingers and looked around energetically.

"The timeline has changed. This is the most direct evidence! And at the moment we sent that child away!"

"That's why I just said that our 'Dawn' plan did not fail, it was just different from what we expected!"

"At that time we didn't know we were dead. We thought there would be a group of heavily armed soldiers on the landing craft. It wasn't until we discovered there was nothing there that we realized we were wrong. Our opponent was bigger than we thought. More cruel and tenacious!"

Zhao Tianhe had vaguely understood what he meant.

"The timeline has completed its first intersection...it still needs the first intersection to form a closed loop, right? Is that what you mean?"

"Correct!" Wu Xinghuan looked at him with bright eyes, and then looked around at everyone at the scene, "We have already received information about the future. We already know about our own death, and even know how many people there will be. Survive, and a few will die.”

"A total of 227 people heard the explosion... The speed of neutron radiation is much faster than the transmission of sound waves. Under what circumstances can the explosion of a neutron bomb be heard?"

"...Although this is nonsense, I still have to say that only living people can hear the explosion of a neutron bomb."

Luo Yi's eyes widened instantly, including many people standing at the scene.

He had this vague feeling a long time ago, but it was buried in the trivial clues and ignored.

Zhao Tianhe stared at Wu Xinghuan intently, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"It seems that I am the ghost."

It's not just him.

Including almost all senior officers who were on the bridge at the time, they did not hear the explosion or the alarm triggered by the explosion.

They didn't realize something was going on on the lower deck until someone came up to report it.

At this moment he finally understood why.

The device is not working properly.

It's just that they can't survive the "next second" when the siren sounds.

However, in this hyperspace voyage where time was stagnant, they still completed the exchange of information with the help of an unknown field.

In other words.

In fact, they are not just exchanging information with the future, they also have a certain resonance field between them.

After adjusting his expression, he looked at Wu Xinghuan without changing his expression and continued to speak fearlessly.

"Continue talking and tell us... what else can we, the dying people, do for the new era 200 years from now."

"There is only one thing you can do - and that is to stay where you are at the moment you enter hyperspace... and then wait for death."

Looking at his cousin, Wu Xinghuan reluctantly said these words, and then turned his attention to Luo Yi who was standing at the door.

"And you... including me, and all the 227 people who heard the explosion, we are survivors of neutron radiation. Although we were lucky enough not to be killed directly, death is only a matter of time."

"But even so, there will still be some time before we die of suffocation or starvation... During this time, we have to complete the closed loop of time, guide the girl lying on the treatment bed to come to us, and prepare for them Wu Ming, help them defeat the enemies we have not defeated."

"It seems that what we should keep is not the 'celestial being'," Wu Mengke joked, "but something else."

Luo Yi raised his hand and looked at everyone talking seriously.

"I will be in charge of the sleeping cabin... The emergency equipment management warehouse is next to my office. When I heard the explosion, I would open the warehouse as soon as possible and drag the sleeping cabin to the landing craft at that time."

Koala was silent for a while and then raised his hand.

"Leave the guidance to me... I heard that they hit the lower deck. My repair room is nearby. I will make a holographic guidance device to guide the girl... uh, to the dormant cabin. room?”

"This is not enough." Zhao Tianhe shook his head and looked at Wu Xinghuan who wanted to say something, "She must start the ship's warp engine, right?"

"Yes, and more than that," Wu Xinghuan nodded and continued calmly, "Tianren occupied our starship two hundred years later and took control of the starship... at least including Wu Tian We still have to help her and her friends regain control of this starship."

Koala said, sweating profusely.

"This...this is a bit too difficult for me."

He didn't even know how long he could live after leaving the hyperspace for a while.

"Haha, no brother," the artificial intelligence expert from Shibu put his arm on his shoulder, smiled and patted his shoulder, "There are us too! You are responsible for designing the navigation device to help her find the song. We are responsible for leaving a surprise on the engine for the tomb robbers.”

Korra breathed a sigh of relief and smiled weakly.

"That's right... I'm really not good at hacking, especially when my opponent is also a master."

At this moment, someone suddenly raised his hand.

"I have a question, can't we design Tuo in stagnant time? Or even... let dead people participate in the design of the program."

It's always helpful to have an extra helper.

Besides, there are many talents on this starship, not just the programmers of the Tenth Department.

But Dr. Wu shook his head and denied their plan to get stuck.

"No, every change we make in the hyperspace voyage will be erased. Except for the memories that have been proven to be preserved... nothing can be left."

However, looking at the hopeful expressions of everyone, he suddenly changed the topic.

"But you can practice it several times... and you can do it as many times as you want. After all, information can be retained through the resonance field. This does not violate the rules we have figured out."

Looking at the people in Guangyi and thinking of more and more solutions, Zhao Tianhe's stern face unfortunately also had a faint smile, and he made a rare joke.

"I didn't expect that the dead could do so much kindness."

Wu Mengke said with a smile.

"After all, we won't die until the 'next second', so we're not dead yet."

Zhao Tianhe was silent for a while, with a look of relief and melancholy on his face.

"But when I think about it, I still feel a little regretful. I have made an appointment with someone I met online... and we will go on vacation together in Shilong City after the war is over."

It is said that in 200 years that place should be called French Fries Port.

I heard the scenery is pretty good too.

Wu Mengke looked at this normally stern officer in surprise, as if he was looking at a foreign species in the wasteland.

Sensing the strange gaze, Zhao Tianhe looked at her with a strange expression.

"Any questions?"

"No..." Wu Mengke shook his head blankly, "I just never heard you say it."

Zhao Tianhe said with a smile.

"Hahaha, why are you talking about that kind of love at work? It will make you think that I am such a crooked person."

Tuo.

In fact, he is indeed not a serious person, just an ordinary human being.

He also has his own life where his colleagues can't see it, and there are some items stored in the virtual machine that he wants to delete but may not have time to delete.

The reason why he always has a serious expression is simply because of work needs.

But after knowing that he was going to die soon, the burden on his shoulders was lifted and he could live out his true self.

"I've begun to feel this way..." Wu Mengke raised his index finger and pressed it between his eyebrows, with an expression that he couldn't accept, "You should take this secret to your grave, I thank you."

"You're welcome! Just think I was just farting, haha."

Zhao Tianhe smiled and turned his gaze to the terminal screen. The smile on his face suddenly became much more relieved, and his original melancholy also disappeared.

"But come to think of it, after chatting with you for a few words, I suddenly have no regrets."

Wu Mengke sighed.

"……What's the meaning?"

Zhao Tianhe said with a smile.

"Don't you think that girl...and that boy are just like our children?"

Wu Mengke was stunned for a moment and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Do you also talk like this when you're having sex online?"

Zhao Tianhe coughed.

"I'm sorry... I mean it seriously."

Wu Mengke turned his attention to the girl lying on the treatment bed on the holographic screen and spoke slowly.

"That's what I've always thought... If I had a granddaughter, or a great-great-granddaughter, she would probably be as brave and strong as her."

"It seems that I am slow," Zhao Tianhe smiled, "But now I have come to my senses. In fact, we don't need to worry at all. Two hundred years later, they will be our continuation... We can't see it. The world, they will see for us.”

Wu Mengke joked.

"It would be a shame if everyone was as open-minded as we are."

"That is impossible."

He put away his kind smile, and his determined eyes reappeared on Zhao Tianhe's angular face.

At this moment, he seemed to have become the unsmiling captain again.

Determination is not something only beasts possess.

However, the beasts always seem to misunderstand again and again, thinking that as long as they are more ruthless and have no bottom line than humans, and scare the standing people, they can eventually put them in the cage.

He would show the guy on the Gemini and the lunatics at Lagrange Point how wrong they were and how ridiculous their dreams were.

"A group of old immortals want to take over Nestlé, and they dream of replacing it after the end of the year... have such a sweet dream."

"Whether it is 200 years or 2000 years, I will drag them into the coffin even if I have two feet in the grave! Let's lie down together!"
