The giant corporations that started from Night City

Li Ang didn't understand why the Singer civilization would prepare a decryption system on their spaceship. Aren't they afraid that all the data and information would be leaked?

Or maybe none of the information on this spacecraft is valuable, so there is no need to worry about it being leaked.

At this time, Dr. Halsey explained: "I think the answer is in the riddle. Since this spaceship is called a seed, it means..."

“Their role is to take root and sprout.”

Such a name makes it obvious that the mission of this spacecraft is not as simple as just clearing out civilization.

"But why do they do this? Isn't it unnecessary?" Jack Wells on the side expressed his confusion.

Since the Singer civilization has chosen to undergo dimensionality reduction transformation, why should it package up its own information to make it easier for other civilizations to understand itself?

"This is not difficult to understand. The war between the Singer Civilization and the Marginal Civilization concerns the survival of the race. They do not dare to fully guarantee a comprehensive two-dimensional transformation."

"Even genetic modification may have some uncontrollable factors, let alone this kind of dimensionality reduction modification. The underlying code left by the Creator is not so easy to modify."

"No one can guarantee that the Singer civilization can survive in the two-dimensional world for a long time after completing the dimensionality reduction transformation."

Dr. Halsey's answer was well-reasoned. He planned for the worst in everything. In order to ensure the continuation of civilization, they needed some seed ships to spread around to preserve and continue the information of the mother world.

In this way, even if the dimensionality reduction transformation failed, or the mother world was slaughtered and occupied by marginal civilizations, they would still leave behind a tombstone with the words "Singer Civilization" written on it.

The reason why each seed spaceship has to clean up the low-level civilizations that have exposed their traces is also a disguised way of making some space for the development of its own civilization.

Dr. Halsey's explanation made everyone feel emotional. In this way, these seed ships are equivalent to the suicide note written by the Singer civilization to the universe.

Advanced civilizations at this level are pessimistically writing their own suicide notes. One can imagine what other low-level civilizations are feeling. The tragic tone of this universe is really too strong.

Li Ang seemed to be thinking about something and was slow to express his opinion.

He did not doubt Dr. Halsey's inference, but he always felt that something was missing. If it was just a defeat or a failure in dimensionality reduction, the Singer civilization should not have been so desperate as to write a "suicide note" to itself.

The universe is so vast that there is plenty of room for singers' civilizations to find their home.

Even if we really can't defeat the marginal civilization, can't we run away? We can still live somewhere else.

With their level of technology, they would not be as miserable as the Trisolarans in the three-dimensional universe.

Just when Leon was about to say something, Ott Cunningham presented a newly deciphered message to everyone present.

"Everyone, this is important information that the Science Hub has just deciphered. After inspection, we found that this is a letter sent by a super membrane broadcast technology."

"This seed ship probably received the broadcast two hundred years ago."

Hearing this, Li Ang immediately perked up. In the "Three-Body" universe, the only civilization that can use super-membrane broadcasting is the Zeroers.

Fringe civilizations may also have similar broadcasting technology, but it is only a suspicion. Even if they really do, their coverage range cannot reach the level of the Zeroers.

Because the broadcast range of the Zero-Returner civilization not only includes all civilizations in this universe, but also includes small universes in other dimensions!

Immediately, as the letter paper unfolded, Leon saw the extremely familiar opening words: [Statement of the Cosmic Return Movement].

Sure enough, what was supposed to come finally came.

As Li Ang had previously told executives of giant companies, the universe in "The Three-Body Problem" was originally eleven-dimensional, and the universe at that time had super-light speed.

It only takes one Planck time to reach from one end of the universe to the other. It is an incredibly beautiful pastoral era.

Today's universe is just an expanding corpse. The known scale of the universe alone is 170 billion light years, and it is still expanding.

But the speed of light is only 30 light years per second, which means that light can never reach from one end of the universe to the other, because it cannot even outrun the speed of the expansion of the universe itself.

If the universe is compared to a person, then this person must be paralyzed. No nerve signal can be transmitted throughout the body. The brain is unaware of the existence of the limbs, and the limbs are unaware of the existence of the brain.

Each member is unaware of the existence of the other.

Such a universe is dying, and no one can stop this process.

Seeing this, V and Jack Wells nodded. This is indeed the difference between the "Three-Body" universe and other universes.

It is not difficult to achieve superluminal speed in other universes. Either through hyperspace channels or through wormholes, there are various superluminal engines, and there is always a suitable method that suits you.

But in the Three-Body Universe, neither this nor that is allowed.

The source of all these tragedies is the unrestrained interstellar wars between civilizations. The spread of light speed reduction and dimensionality reduction attacks has strangled the vitality and future of the universe.

Now the Zeroer civilization is calling on all civilizations to start the restart of the universe and let everything return to the starting point.

“Can this really be done?!”

Luo Ji looked at Otto Cunningham and others excitedly. He had not heard Leon's analysis of the situation in the "Three-Body" universe, so he was not aware of the tricks involved.

"From a technical perspective, it is indeed possible to do so."

Dr. Halsey put his hands in his pockets and said calmly, "It is indeed impossible to pull a low-dimensional universe back to a high dimension, but if the universe continues to reduce its dimension to zero and then continues to reduce its dimension, it is possible to pull the universe back to the Big Bang period."

"When the clock passes midnight, it's a new day."

Luo Ji was about to say that this was a good thing, but he soon realized that something was wrong. How did the Zero-Returner civilization know what the original pastoral era of the universe was like, and how did they know that the universe could be restarted by resetting everything to zero?

The pastoral era of the universe is at least more than 10 billion years ago, or even longer.

If the Zeroers really came all the way from the pastoral era and witnessed with their own eyes how the universe was ruined bit by bit, then it can basically only prove one fact.

The Zeroer is the real culprit that caused the dimensionality reduction of the universe!
Anyone who asks you to consider the overall situation means that you are not in the game, and anyone who asks you to do something at any cost means that you are the one being sacrificed.

This rhetoric might be used to fool the naive people in the newly born civilization, but how could it really be hidden from humans who are born with intrigue?

"It can be done technically, but it's impossible in practice..." Luo Ji whispered, but everyone heard it clearly.

"Yes, you have realized the truth of the Three-Body Universe."

Li Ang looked at Luo Ji with approval. He really was worthy of being the first Sword Bearer of mankind. With just this amount of information, he had already deduced the intentions of the Zero Civilization.

Facing Li Ang's praise, Luo Ji was not happy at all. He looked at Otto and others, "Other advanced civilizations will most likely not accept this declaration movement." "Are we just going to watch this universe go into eternal silence?"

Li Ang didn't say anything and continued to wait patiently for new information to be deciphered.

Fortunately, not long after, Ott Cunningham brought back a key envelope.

That was a letter of surrender sent by the Marginal Civilization to the Singer Civilization. The content in the envelope was very short, just one sentence, but the amount of information was enormous!
The fringe civilization asked the singer to join the camp of the Zero Return civilization and call on other civilizations to return cosmic matter and promote the universe restart plan.

There are at least three points worth noting in this short sentence.

The first point is that the marginal civilizations have joined the Zeroers camp, and the Zeroers, as the god-level civilization of the Three-Body Universe, allow marginal civilizations to join, which is a disguised recognition of their technological level.

At least in the three-dimensional world, the marginal civilization can be considered to be ranked high.

The second point is that the marginal civilizations are also asking the singers to join the Zeroers, which is a disguised recognition that the singers' technological level has reached the requirements for entering the Zeroer camp.

However, the singers did not give a direct response in the past two hundred years, but were actively preparing for the two-dimensional transformation. This shows that they do not believe in marginal civilizations or the Zero Returners.

As for the third point, it is to require each civilization to return the microcosmic matter.

What kind of civilization can master the technology of the microcosm and seize the materials of the macrocosm to create its own world? Needless to say, it must be an advanced civilization. A low-level civilization like humans has no chance.

The Singer had received the universe restart statement from the Zeroer two hundred years ago, but humans have not received the news until now. This is enough to show how low the status of humans is in the "Three-Body" universe.

To put it bluntly, this content has already shown that the struggle between the advanced civilizations has become so fierce that it is a life-and-death struggle.

Limited resources mean that only a few civilizations can survive the cosmic restart cycle, but there are only a few civilization seats left on the table. Both former veterans and emerging young forces want a rare spot.

The Zeroer cannot complete the assigned task, but must ensure that the universe is restarted, so he can only drive his subordinates to fight, rob, and go to war with the former great civilization.

When civilization develops to a certain level, it basically becomes a scene of mutual explosions, with everyone using their own magical powers to see who is the better fighter.

In the three-dimensional world, the marginal civilization that has mastered the weapons of mathematical laws is undoubtedly the best among them.

If the Universal Corporation had not reconquered the Three-Body Civilization, then many years later perhaps the Three-Body people would have gotten a seat with the Zeroers, and as a great civilization in the microscopic realm, they would have obtained a small universe to survive the catastrophe.

Based on the above three pieces of information, Li Ang can basically confirm that the integration of the "Three-Body" universe is no longer possible.

"The mission is over, we should leave here."

Li Ang's sudden words made everyone present a little confused. They didn't react at first to figure out whether the boss meant leaving the solar system or leaving the universe.

"Boss, do you mean leaving the solar system and finding a new base?" V asked tentatively.

"It's to leave the Trisolaran Universe. We have no hope of saving this universe."

Leon's firm attitude confused V, Morgan Blackhand and others. Why? They haven't started a war with the Singer Civilization, nor have they fought with the Zeroers, so why are they withdrawing after reading two letters?

Are they afraid of the singer's two-dimensional foil? But haven't they already known that creating an encapsulation force field can effectively delay the spread of two-dimensionalization?

"Boss, I don't understand why."

Morgan Blackhand asked unwillingly, the giant cosmic enterprise has never given up on any universe.

"The Zeroers have completed their integration, and the advanced civilizations in the three-dimensional space have basically become their subordinates. The only ones we can win over are the elders who control the microcosm technology."

"But these old hands who have experienced the reincarnation of the universe are more difficult to deal with and harder to feed. It takes a lot of chips to take them down, and..."

“There’s no guarantee that they’ll remain loyal to the global giants.”

Li Ang knew very well that old foxes like Zeroer had often tricked civilizations into handing over materials so that they could survive reincarnation. They were all thousand-year-old monsters, so there was no need to play Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.

Boss Li does like to write checks to people, but he won't write checks to random people. There's no need to think about winning over such an ungrateful person.

It's not easy to be Mr. Dongguo.

Li Ang counted the gains so far. In his opinion, it was not a loss to be able to conquer the Three-Body Civilization.

After all, the protagonists of the "Three-Body" universe are the Trisolarans. With this promising civilized species, the pace of development of the world's giant companies will only get faster and faster in the future.

Seeing that Li Ang had made up his mind, Song Zhaomei, Lucius and other executives felt relieved. They remained calm on the surface, but in their hearts they were secretly glad that they could finally leave this damn place.

V, Jack Wells and others were unwilling, but still obeyed Leon's orders.

Only Luo Ji looked at them blankly. Leaving this universe means returning to the original universe?

For a moment, Luo Ji even forgot that the Universal Corporation did not belong to this universe, but was a super civilization complex from other universes.

"Boss, is it true that we can't negotiate with the Null Sector? Perhaps we can still save these civilizations."

Paul Atreides regretted what he said as soon as he said it. Even Luo Ji didn't say anything, so why should he care about the civilized species here?

Having been the humankind's wallfacer for so long, Paul almost came to think of himself as the omnipotent savior.

Li Ang pretended not to hear this and said without turning his head: "I will take away the Earth and the Three-Body Planet in the Three-Body Universe, and the rest will be left to fate."

After leaving the Three-Body Universe, Leon will activate the ether phase engine.

The success rate of the ether phase engine draining the universe and completing the restart is about 30%, which means the probability of success is nearly one-third.

To be honest, this probability is not low.

The fate of the Three-Body Universe is eternal death. Its demise is as it should be. The fact that it can be restarted is purely a stroke of luck that it has encountered such a great living Buddha in a giant enterprise in the world.

Otherwise, with the infinite nesting doll-like chain of suspicion in the Three-Body Universe, it would be impossible to complete the restart of the universe.

"Get ready."

"Yes……"

Everyone looked at each other, and followed Li Ang's orders to leave the Science Hub one by one. Only Luo Ji was stopped by Li Ang and stayed here to chat with him about future plans. (End of this chapter)
