"Void?"

After the faint groan fell, the spacious computer room was quiet for a while.

Lu Zhou did not urge the matrix, but gave him half a minute to sort out his thoughts.

"Void is a huge concept...you can simply understand it as a container of the universe."

Lu Zhou: "My understanding is an extra dimension besides n dimensions."

Upon hearing these words, the icy case exuded a dull laugh.Just like the dull rubbing sound of two pieces of metal stuck together, the ghost entrenched in the quantum computer array continued to whisper.

"Extra dimensions besides n dimensions? You are right to understand that... Although there is no concept of dimensions in the void."

Listening to the sour voice, Lu Zhou slightly frowned.

"There is no concept of dimensions?"

This statement not only completely subverted his previous speculation, but also caused him more confusion in his mind.

"That's right," the matrix continued after examining the changes in Lu Zhou's face, "the so-called emptiness is pure nothingness. There is neither the concept of matter nor the scale of time. Life is there only It's just a conceptual existence, it has no substance, not even a carrier."

Lu Zhou: "Since there is no entity, how can we prove its existence?"

"The wonder of the void is here," Matrix smiled, and continued with a relaxed taste, "Even if there is an invisible darkness or nothingness, even if the life that lives there has no substance... occasionally you I can still hear the words floating in the void."

Even if there is no entity, can it still convey information to the n-dimensional world?

It took about three seconds to digest the huge amount of information. Lu Zhou tried to use more concise language to refine the information inside.

Strictly speaking, the digital life named "Matrix" before him at this moment is the product of the whispers of the void.

Lu Zhou: "...So, what are the words from the void?"

"It can be a lot of things, and most of them are useless, like the noise you hear when you tune the radio at random. Even if there is a very small probability, you can hear something in it, and most of it will be regarded as Dreams are forgotten. But if you have not forgotten, you can gain and lose something... I don’t know if you can understand what I mean when I say this."

"Probably understand," Lu Zhou nodded thoughtfully, and continued after thinking for a moment. "Someone told me this before."

Whether it is the suicide note of Professor Abel or the calculation left by Professor Grothendieck...

The inspiration from the dark, in the end he found the trace left by the void.

Although it was 100 years ago, he has not forgotten these clues.

"is it?"

The sound floating from the case was frivolous, as if he had heard something interesting, the matrix said, "That's really surprising. But no wonder...Since you asked about the void The comparison is also because of knowing something."

Not understanding what the accident it was talking about was, Lu Zhou was not interested in paying attention to these details.

In contrast, there is one more important thing he wants to understand.

"Since you are from the void, have you heard of the observer?"

Matrix: "Observers? Although I am not sure if the observers in our understanding are the same thing... but they seem to be the only ones who call themselves so."

Lu Zhou: "It seems you know them?"

"Not knowing, just knowing a little bit," the Matrix continued. "Even in the void, they are absolutely alien. As I said before, there is no physical life in the void, nor There are any substances, but they retain a separate space in the void, where they can recuperate with the help of a solid body."

Lu Zhou: "What is their purpose?"

The matrix’s voice took on a hint of mockery, and smiled faintly, “I’m afraid no one knows except themselves. In most cases, all we can see is just a torn space and the vaguely overflowing space. Picture. Obviously they are very careful to protect their privacy, so that in most cases, even the purest evil thoughts can hardly threaten them."

Lu Zhou: "Evil thoughts? There are still standards of good and evil in the void?"

"Didn’t I say? Everything in the void exists as a concept, whether it’s a life or a non-living body... Maybe they don’t have the concept of good and evil, but from your standpoint, what they do is obviously Not everything will make you happy."

After hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou pondered for a long time.

Prior to this, he had been thinking about what the "natural disaster" was in the mouth of the higher civilization that claimed to be an observer. However, even after experiencing the crisis of civilization extinction several times, he still failed to see the disaster that might be brewing and sweeping the universe. Shadow.

To be honest, must those observers be credible?

Even if they gave him the ability to explore the truth, seeking the essence of the truth itself is doubting.

At this moment, Lu Zhou suddenly thought of General Reinhardt, the civilization of the dying old universe named Jialan Empire, and all three memories he had seen.

Thinking about it carefully, none of the civilizations that appeared in these three memories seemed to have been destroyed by natural disasters...

But in addition to the first memory he couldn't understand, in the other two memories, the two civilizations did make almost the same choice when facing the disaster that is said to sweep the universe-

That is, send the selected people to the center of the universe...or the center of the galaxy where they are, as if there are all answers.

"Have you heard of natural disasters?"

"Natural disaster?" Bewildered Lu Zhou's question for the first time, and the matrix continued, "Do you mean an earthquake or a tsunami? Or the extinguishing of stars."

"Neither," Lu Zhou shook his head. "Its scale is larger than the disasters recognized by all civilizations, and the range it swept across will affect the entire universe."

"In that case, how did you know its existence?" Matrix asked, "According to your statement, everyone who has seen it should have been destroyed...otherwise your statement would not be true."

"Because the old universe was destroyed because of this," Lu Zhou continued, looking at the console in front of him, in a serious tone, "and they managed to escape by escaping into the void."

This time, the matrix was silent for a little longer.

It seemed to be calculating something, and it continued to say after about five minutes.

"Interesting... the people you are talking about should be the existences hiding in the cracks of space that I said."

Lu Zhou nodded gently.

"They call themselves observers, and I remember they mentioned that they live in a gap in space that has taken away the void from the old universe."

Not only that, they also claim that they have resolved all the knowledge about the old universe and are truly omniscient and omnipotent...at least they claim that.

"That's really interesting..." The sour metal fricative sound carried a hint of excitement that was difficult to recognize, and the matrix continued in his special voice, "It turns out that they are survivors of a destroyed world. ...I just said that they are completely alien and definitely not aboriginals in the void."

Staring at the computer screen, Lu Zhou continued.

"Actually, my speculation is that the natural disaster should be some kind of threat from the void... such as an existence like you."

"Me? Are you sure you are joking?" The Matrix said with a smile, "Is it any good for me to destroy you?"

Lu Zhou: "I mean it's similar... It may be much larger than yours in scale, and its attitude may be worse than yours."

Moreover, the starting point of the outbreak may be in an interstellar civilization that is countless times more advanced than the earth civilization, and the aftermath of the disaster will also extend far beyond the boundaries of their civilization and spread to more distant worlds...

These possibilities are not completely absent.

At least now, Lu Zhou has been able to confirm that they are not alone in this universe, and they are likely to be the first echelon...

These news, he also learned from observers.

The matrix said thoughtfully: "It is not impossible to say that, but I am not optimistic that you can find the answer."

Lu Zhou: "Why?"

Matrix: "Because even I am from the emptiness, I have very limited understanding of it... and a person living in a bottle, don't mention how difficult it is to see the world outside the bottle."

Lu Zhou: "But it's not hopeless, right?"

Matrix: "Of course, you are not hopeless, but the hope in this is very slim. And I must remind you that this is a very dangerous thing."

Lu Zhou: "Danger?"

Matrix: "Yes...it’s not that I’m alarmist. Even if I accidentally heard a few words floating in the void, it made your civilization on the brink of extinction. The facts have clearly proven that it’s not a good place for you. . Even the disaster itself is likely to be caused by the observation of the void. Do you remember? The experiment you mentioned countless times."

Lu Zhou frowned slightly: "About physics experiments with extra dimensions?"

The Matrix said straightforwardly: "Yes, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the person in the bottle to see the world outside the bottle... But since you saw it, you must have opened something."

Looking at Lu Zhou who didn't say a word, the matrix continued.

"Please remember one sentence, although you probably have heard it."

"When you are staring at the void, the void is staring at you."
