Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The ark had thought the plot would be over here, but he didn't think that the subtitles of gameover or tureend had flown out of sight as he had expected, so he didn't even know if he had finished synchronizing his void memories and browsed all the clues in that memory.

With the departure of Dr. Ryan, the consul announced the adjournment of the meeting, and clues about the Messenger were interrupted here, which did not appear to be the case in the plot.

After leaving the conference hall, the Ark followed General Sains back to the compound and, after returning his equipment, applied to leave the ranks, wandering aimlessly around the world by rail train.

Although class barriers were tight, the world was surprisingly more prosperous and complex than he thought.

In this circumferential world, there are industrial divisions specializing in consumer goods production, commercial divisions responsible for meeting citizens' shopping and entertainment needs, as well as college divisions, planting divisions, high-density and low-density residential areas, nature landscape reserves, etc.

And the people who live here do not have to work very hard to enjoy a relatively rich life. And since income is relatively average among the same classes and there is virtually no communication between the different classes, the gap between the rich and the poor does not seem to be evident here, where everyone lives safely in their utopia.

As for the currency that prevails here, it's something that's translated into a point of credit.

The soldier named Reinhardt had made a fortune because he had inherited the property of his superiors, and because his superiors had appreciated him for his outstanding performance in the operation, most of his future “life” had been peaceful.

Without paying too much attention to the things at the end of these twigs, the ark went straight to the college district and found the nearest library to him on the map.

However, he was disappointed that, as he had speculated, much of the deeper information, such as specific technology and knowledge, had been obscured in that memory.

When you flip through a book, you can only see a blurry mist, as well as access to relevant information online. Too deep knowledge is not recorded in this memory at all, and the deeper you dig down, the more you can feel the thinness in its content.

As if it were a dream, you can only see abstract outlines and not dig deeper.

If he just follows the plot by the rules, it may not feel like a dream at all, but once his behavior stops following the rules, the invisible wall can be touched everywhere.

At this moment, he's like Michael DiSanta, who made it through GTA5, wandering the streets of Los Angeles aimlessly, sightseeing the terroirs, looking for the “eggs” that don't know if they exist.

But at least for now, he has not found any more clues.

In addition to a generous bounty, Dr. Ryan left him with only a bunch of suspense about "natural disasters” and that higher civilization.

But what is a natural disaster?

This seems to be the end of the story…

……

Take off your helmet and take a deep breath of the cool air in the underground lab as if it were to cool down your overheated brain.

Controlling the drone, Egg swayed to his side and a line of text popped out of the hanging little TV.

[Master, would you like me to pour you a glass of water? 0.0]

Ark: “Well, please. ”

The robotic arm on the side of the wall began to move, quickly passing cups filled with cold water to the front of the ark.

After taking a sip of the cup, the ark pondered for a while and suddenly said.

“Em. ”

Em: [What's wrong? ( ▽ )

Ark: “Is there anything in your database about the Coke civilization? I mean… except for the passage from void memory. ”

Em: [I don't think so…… What can I do for you? ┌ | * ´ ∀ | ┘

I see.

The ark shook its head after a moment of contemplation.

“… nothing. ”

Go ahead, the ark stood up and went in the direction of the elevator.

……

Void memories are closed for now.

Yet the lingering suspense still haunts the mind of the ark.

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

What kind of crisis is it?

Including the strange droplet that flew to the center of the galaxy.

Returning to the Dean's office, the Ark, sitting at his desk, took out the notebook he had always taken with him to record his findings.

The pen stopped and the index finger lightly lit on the notebook. After a moment of reflection, the ark repeatedly chewed what it had previously heard from that memory.

“Natural disaster...”

Obviously, this is a translated term, and in that civilization, which is higher than the one, there should be other corresponding phrases.

One of the most taboo aspects of academic research is taking second-hand material translated by others, even though what he sees is already third-hand material.

However, it was almost impossible to study the original intent of the message, and the memories sent to him by the system had translated all languages except tonal auxiliaries into Chinese that he could understand.

Moreover, at the current level of science and technology in human civilization, it is very difficult to translate the contents of the Message.

“Now the only thing we can be sure of is that the system definitely didn't come from the Coke civilization...”

Even if we discover human civilization, I'm afraid we won't take it seriously.

Not to mention acts at the national level, even corporate ones, that take into account costs and benefits, let alone rise to the height of civilization as a whole.

Leaving aside the aesthetic differences, other planets in the universe, apart from one atmospheric environment, are simply not rich in resources on Earth and are more difficult to exploit than other low-gravity, atmosphere-free planets.

It's hard to imagine a civilization that can create a circle of the world, and it's hard to imagine them clinging to Earth-like planets. Whether gas resources or fresh water are needed, they can be collected from specialized glacial or gaseous planets, and they are much more efficient, even eliminating a series of "purification” and other processes.

Not to mention trying so hard to help a bunch of ants improve their lives with technology.

This behavior, which only pro-foreignists would do, is more like what the “higher civilization”, which fires a strange warning to other civilizations, might do.

However, this brings us back to the original question.

What exactly is the purpose of that higher civilization?

Or...

Is that what they call void?

After a long time of reflection, the ark had to record this series of speculations for now.

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

Now the whole physics community is expecting him to come up with something amazing enough to give some confidence to those who believe in him, even if they don't think for themselves.

After a while of hesitation, the Ark finally took out its cell phone, made several phone calls, and contacted Professor Zhang Tianming, a researcher at the Institute of High-Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who was in charge of the Alibaba Project on a weekly basis.

This gravitational wave observatory, which began construction in 2017 and was first experimented in 2020, is probably the highest original gravitational wave observatory in the world.

Though there was no great hope, the Ark asked Professor Zhang to come to see the gravitational wave.

Even as a leisure time pastime.

It's better to do something than nothing.
