Abnormal crossing

Chapter 105 The final information

be honest.

As a popular social application, the notification sound of the StarTalker platform is not very sharp.

But at this moment.

This voice, combined with the conclusion of the previous conversation between the few people, seemed inexplicably creepy and strange.

Then Milo looked up at Gu Wei and Jin, took a deep breath, and clicked the connect option.

next second.

Swah——

The data was connected, and Jokovin's bust appeared on the light screen.

Milo observed Qiao Kewen's condition carefully and found that his colleague's appearance had not changed much: "Qiao Ke."

Before he could finish his words, Joe Koven interrupted him and said, "Call me Old Joe. And Captain Milo, I know what happened."

"?!"

Milo was stunned for a moment, and the things he wanted to say were instantly suppressed back into his stomach: "Qiao, old Joe, have you recovered your memory?"

"Yeah," Qiao Kewen nodded, his tone calm but with a hint of subtle emotion: "I don't know the specific reason, but suddenly I understand everything."

Milo stretched his neck behind Joe Koven, as if he wanted to see the situation behind him: "Old Joe, how are you doing now?"

"It's terrible, everything is in chaos." Qiao Kewen was silent for a few seconds, and then raised an ugly smile: "According to the data collected by the ship spirit, our world is being destroyed."

"As for the exact time of destruction, it is impossible to estimate, but it should be around 500 seconds - look, the Kova system has begun to collapse."

"."

Milo looked at Jin silently, with a probing look on his face: "Jin, what's going on?"

Jin touched his chin and thought seriously for a while: "It should be because of the order parameter. Although the self-referentiality of consciousness has been destroyed, the consciousness data is still stored in a non-local entangled state in the constructed information world. When the system collapses, the information decoupling rate will be limited by the decoherence time constant τ. The subjective experience is almost stretched to an exponential decay process."

"Of course, it is also possible that there is a delay in the collapse of the wave function, that is, the logic layer maintains a short period of self-consistency through error correction codes when the information world collapses. In short, no matter which one it is, it will not last very long."

Gu Wei beside him also nodded.

Jin's meaning is easy to understand. It is roughly similar to the explanation of the quantum memory effect or the black hole firewall paradox on Earth. Lyapunov also proposed a similar concept.

To put it simply, the Eraser constructs a virtual information world through information. When it collapses, due to the characteristics of information itself, the starting point must inevitably start from the edge node where the gap exists.

For people like Jokovin in the information world, it is a starry sky far away.

At the same time, this collapse involves the Eraser, so even from the perspective of Jokovin and others, the speed of this collapse must be superluminal.

It's like you are reading a novel on Earth, and a celestial body 6 or 7 billion light years away suddenly collapses, and a few seconds later it shrinks to 4 or 5 billion light years away.
In this case, the collapse will not reach the Earth until a time equal to the distance of a light year has passed, but it will not crush you immediately either.

To put it more simply, it can be understood as a lottery in an online game - people have been fooled by the cyber soul-searching technique, so it is reasonable to trigger a guaranteed compensation to let people have a few seconds of rebirth.
After getting Jin's answer, Milo immediately turned his attention back to Qiao Kewen: "Old Qiao, from what you said, the boat spirit is also with you, you should know your current situation." Qiao Kewen lowered his eyelids and was silent for a moment, then nodded gently: "Well, I can't go back."

Just as Milo said.

Before making this call, Jokovin had already learned about his situation through the ship spirit that was wiped out.

Then Joe Koven took a deep breath and continued, "Captain Milo, we have limited time and we are all adults, so don't be fussy. Just ask whatever you want to ask. I've seen the wrath of that fisherman. Your purpose in coming here must not be just as simple as your curiosity about the Machine Soul Sect."

"Okay," Milo didn't hesitate to ask directly, "Let's start from the beginning. How did you notice that star?"

"At the beginning." Perhaps because he had prepared the answer in advance, Qiao Kewen's answer was also very fluent: "At that time, I accepted a patrol mission in the free space of the sky. The route covered two galaxies. Because there were more than a dozen black holes on the route, the rating and reward were good. It took about half a year to complete the whole task."

Milo nodded.

The patrol mission that Qiao Kewen mentioned is very common in the starry sky. It mainly involves checking the interstellar dust density, background radiation level, gravitational fluctuations of neighboring star systems, etc. in the area according to the corresponding path.

The core profit point of this type of mission lies mainly in fuel cost planning. For example, some experienced captains can make perfect use of the gravity of various celestial bodies to accelerate and decelerate. The money saved in this way over the entire mission is actually very considerable.

As for the Changkong Free Domain, it is a union of more than 30 civilizations, all of whose members are stellar-level civilizations.

This organization is roughly similar to AOSIS, the Alliance of Small Island States, or the Association of Southeast Asian Nations ASEAN before Gu Wei traveled through time.

Then Joe Koven paused and continued, "The mission went smoothly at the beginning, but when patrolling the area around the Klink Vesicle in the Elta System, the spacecraft suddenly discovered a red dwarf star that was moving away from the lower left side of the main sequence, and the ship spirit detected abnormal data."

"The residual hydrogen content is not right, right?" Milo took over the conversation. "I heard from that broken board that the hydrogen content was exhausted too early, causing the core contraction to accelerate, so the star was later pulled out to become a helium flash ball on the national mourning day."

Milo's tone was somewhat casual. He was deeply impressed by this incident. After all, it involved the National Mourning Day and the Machine Soul Sect.

In addition, he has a good friend named Scholes who offended the guards of the Hick Community who were transferring the helium flash ball because of road rage. He is currently singing Tears Behind Bars.
However, just when Milo's mind was a little distracted.

Qiao Kewen shook his head with a serious expression: "It's not a problem with the residual hydrogen content. That's just an excuse I used to cover up later. Although this excuse seems quite reasonable, it is definitely not my original intention to pay attention to stars."

Milo and Jin were stunned.

Isn't it a problem of residual hydrogen content?

what is that?
To know.

Because red dwarfs have sufficient convection and evenly mixed hydrogen, abnormal residual hydrogen is actually very rare. Any experienced person who is capable of exploring stars will basically take a look when they see one.

But from what Jokovin described, it seemed that there was something more special than the abnormal residual hydrogen that attracted his attention?
So Milo quickly asked, "Old Joe, if it's not the residual hydrogen content, then what is the abnormality?"

Qiao Kewen glanced at him. Even though he was nearing the end of his life, a trace of reminiscence still appeared on his face: "The ship spirit detected it at that time."

"A set of creation parameters."

Note:
The caregiver had problems the next day. My grandmother was very fat because she had been bedridden for many years and had intestinal problems. She was the heaviest in our family, weighing nearly 200 pounds. The caregiver was in her early 50s and almost fell down. Fortunately, she leaned on the mattress.
At the moment, it seems that grandma still wants me and my uncle to stay with her, while grandpa will be taken care of by a nurse. It shouldn't be so tiring for two of us to take turns to stay with him at night.
