Chapter 165: Return to the Singularity
The "Sky-Mending Project" is different from the Nuwa patching up the sky; this involves more than 800,000 galaxies.
Pana's further remarks made the leaders of the alliance members even more alarmed.
"In the 64th and 65th star regions, you should have previously observed the surrounding star systems suddenly accelerating away and connecting. Indeed, in the 64th and 65th star regions, as well as the 83rd, 84th, 85th, and 86th star regions, the 'Sky-Mending Project' has also been implemented. These three long ribbons of light, or chains, are true cosmic Great Walls. These three Great Walls will block and defend against the invasion and destruction of the dark forces."
Pan Na's voice was melodious and passionate. Zhou Yuan couldn't help but glance at Pan Na a few more times.
"So what can we do?" asked one of the alliance leaders.
"Gentlemen, it is the duty of our advanced civilization to fight against the forces of darkness. We should be the ones to undertake this battle. Because we will be moving a large number of star systems in the future, we will need a large number of gravity sources or force field generators. Our three civilizations have discussed this and hope that you will produce gravity source modules, force field generators, super black hole gravity field modules, the Shengtian Bowl, energy exchangers, the Cosmic Great Wall mesh, and so on for us."
Some of the words Panna used were unclear to everyone, but it was known that they were probably all powerful weapons.
"Don't worry about resources and tools. Stars, planets, neutron stars, and even black holes in the galaxy are all resources we can utilize. We will provide some tools, and for others, we will teach you the technology to manufacture them yourselves. Our master hopes that everyone will unite as one, work together with one heart and one mind, overcome all difficulties, make the best use of resources, and fulfill everyone's responsibilities to fight against the forces of darkness and strive for the great cause of the universe's return to zero." Panna became more and more excited as she spoke, and even Badu had a fanatical expression on his face.
The original forty-three members of the Pan-Interstellar Alliance all knew that the master Panna spoke of was likely the Matrix Civilization. "Universe Zero"—this was the first time they had ever heard of it.
The thoughts and practices of these advanced civilizations are best left unconsidered by those of less advanced civilizations. In light of this, the leaders of the alliance members signed numerous agreements, including those on friendly coexistence, production modules, and technology sharing. While they cannot participate in the war at the Great Wall or the war against the dark forces, providing logistical support from the rear is still meaningful. Moreover, serving advanced civilizations like Pandora, Baloo, and the Earth Empire will undoubtedly greatly enhance their own technological capabilities in the short term. For example, the galactic force field generator—if they can access the module, driving galaxies in the future might be just around the corner.
The meeting lasted almost a day, with each party having their own new tasks.
After consulting with Thomas, Zhou Yuan, along with four beautiful women, went directly to the territory of the Star Luo Empire.
The Star Luo Empire's emperor and his family were already waiting in the Leidam Palace.
When everyone met, they were naturally filled with excitement and joy.
Zhou Yuan hugged each of the four children, kissing their foreheads, his eyes glistening with tears. Wei Shan and Leifia did the same. Following the customs of the Star Luo Empire, the four children performed the ritual of recognizing Zhou Yuan, Wei Shan, and Leifia as their parents. Aya and Chu Xiaolu were naturally surprised, but said nothing; their eyes were also slightly moist.
Leifia was clever; she took the initiative to introduce Aya and Chu Xiaolu to Leidam and the others. When they learned that the two were Zhou Yuan's "legal wives," Zhou Yuan's four children seemed somewhat dissatisfied. Leidam noticed this and his words made the four of them feel ashamed.
"Children, do not blame your father Zhou Yuan, nor hold any grudges against Aya and Chu Xiaolu. Your two mothers were born without a formal title or status, a consequence of the laws of the Earth Empire. It was because the three of them loved each other deeply that you came into being, and it was because of their deep love that Aya and Chu Xiaolu married your father. In any case, we are now a family. The four of you should contribute to the Star Luo Empire and the Earth Empire, live up to the expectations of Heaven and Earth, and accomplish great things. Why be bound by formalities and get bogged down in them?"
The four of them felt ashamed and realized that they were a bit narrow-minded. They all took the initiative to approach Aya and Chu Xiaolu and call them "Third Sister" and "Little Sister".
Aya and Chu Xiaolu were a little shy, but secretly delighted.
After some more casual conversation about their families, a grand reunion banquet was held.
The group ate and chatted, and eventually the conversation turned to the Great Wall War and the forces of darkness.
"Uncle, could you explain what Panna meant by the 'Cosmic Zeroing Project'? We're a bit unclear about this concept."
“Your Majesty Daffy, ‘the universe returning to zero’ is a figurative way of saying that it actually means forcibly returning the universe to a state close to the ‘singularity’ of the Big Bang.”
"Then how do we return?"
"How to return, I can't be sure. It seems that only the master knows for now. I can guess. Let's return to the 'singularity' and gather all the matter and energy in the universe into one point."
"is it possible?"
"Your Majesty, anything is possible. The Big Bang originated from a 'singularity.' Do you think that's possible?"
Leidaf was speechless. Thinking about it, this universe is truly amazing.
"Father, what's the point of the universe returning to zero?"
"I only learned a little from my master, and with my own understanding, things should be like this. The universe was originally supposed to be a faster-than-light world of infinite photonization (quantization of light). However, shortly after the Big Bang, due to the existence of the 'Heart of the Universe,' which is the existence of some kind of radioactive heavy element, CP was broken. This CP break caused an asymmetry between matter and antimatter; matter and antimatter are not equal in quantity. In our universe, there is more matter than antimatter. The universe returning to zero is the correction of the CP break, so that the universe can exist as a faster-than-light photon world, capable of quickly reaching another universe."
"But if that's the case, what's the point? Wouldn't we all just disappear then?"
"The disappearance of a living organism or physical body is normal. However, if we can retain quantum consciousness and convert it into photon consciousness, then our consciousness can travel at faster-than-light speed with the photon consciousness generated by the Big Bang and reach another universe. In fact, reaching another universe is only one aspect. Another aspect is to explore whether this universe is truly 'intelligently created'."
Zhou Yuan paused for a moment, and no one interrupted, listening quietly and waiting for what was to come.
"There are indications that this universe was created by an 'intelligent entity.' Our Earth Empire once carried out a 'creation project,' simulating the Big Bang, and this result was initially verified. After the universe was reduced to zero and then exploded again, our consciousness was transmitted at superluminal speed via photonization. In this way, we might have been able to observe the appearance of the 'intelligent entity' or perceive its origin. Unlike the current universe, superluminal speed cannot be maintained for long, and the speed of light is constantly decreasing. Thus, we have lost the opportunity to observe the 'intelligent entity' or even make contact with it."
Everyone nodded as if they understood, but they all grasped the key words "photonization," "faster than light," and "intelligent entity." In their minds, the conclusion was that to see the "intelligent entity," you had to be faster than the "intelligent entity."
"The dark forces are preventing the universe from returning to zero. They are causing the universe to keep expanding, believing that as long as the universe keeps expanding, one day it will meet another universe and thus reach another universe."
"Father, what exactly are the forces of darkness?"
"Actually, I really don't know. I can't even say what kind of existence the Pandora civilization is."
"Could you tell me about the Earth Empire's future plans?"
“I can reveal a little. According to the master’s orders, some of our star system fleets will continue to fight against the Kelly Group, some star system fleets will continuously relocate intelligent civilizations from various star systems, and other star system fleets will be responsible for building the Great Wall of the Universe.”
"Uncle, why are we relocating intelligent civilizations from different star systems?"
"The master believes that the photonic consciousness generated by the Big Bang after the universe returned to zero should be as strong as possible. If it is weak, it may collapse during faster-than-light travel due to the weakening of the coupling of the consciousness field caused by the quantum leap of the speed of light."
In fact, Zhou Yuan didn't understand what photon consciousness was, nor did he want to delve into it. Now that things had come to this point, he could only trust the Matrix civilization. Besides, some things were indeed beyond the comprehension of the Earth Empire's human civilization.
Zhou Yuan seemed to sense that the topic was getting a bit heavy, so he changed the subject.
"It's been a long time since I've been to Aiur, the Protoss's home planet. Children, how about I take you there for a visit?"
The four of them naturally applauded, and even Aya and Chu Xiaolu had heard how beautiful El was.
Thanks to the arrangements made by Speaker Starquit, the Supreme Ruler of the Protoss race, Zhou Yuan and his family of nine had a wonderful time exploring the planet Aiur, enjoying a few precious days of family reunion.
After a reluctant farewell, Zhou Yuan and his group of five returned to the capital star system.
"Thomas, Zhou Yuan, according to the master's instructions, the construction of the Cosmic Great Wall in the 83rd, 84th, 85th and 86th star regions needs to be accelerated. Our Pandora and Balu civilizations will send some fleets to the 83rd star region to support our two major allies, the Zula and Zelo civilizations, in that area."
“Panna, Badu, we have also received orders from our master. He has ordered us to dispatch several fleets, together with the fleets you dispatched, to those four star systems. Our fleet’s mission is to relocate the intelligent civilizations in those four star systems, and on the way back, we will also visit the 64th and 65th star systems to relocate the intelligent civilizations in those two star systems.”
"Thomas, Zhou Yuan, it seems the master favors you both greatly," even the usually taciturn Badu teased.
"Badu, Panna, it's because our strength is limited and we can't shoulder such a great responsibility. Thank you four for your hard work." Zhou Yuan was already familiar with Panna and Badu, and he wasn't as reserved as before when he spoke to them.
"Thomas, I hope Zhou Yuan can come with us."
"Of course, let's prepare a little."
"Okay, we'll set off in one day."
The Earth Empire began a major reorganization of its forty-six star systems. Thomas and Zhou Yuan decided that Tianxing III, Tianxing IV, and the Capital Star System would relocate the intelligent civilization to the four star regions of the 83rd Star System. Tianxing II was not dispatched because it contained the radioactive heavy element "Heart of the Universe".
The "Wise Star" and all intelligent civilizations of the Capital System were transferred to Tianxing-2, including the Dolai and Cruz civilizations originally located in the Capital System. Numerous planets and terrestrial planets of different types and environments were deployed to the Tianxing-3, Tianxing-4, and Capital System fleets to accommodate the diverse intelligent civilizations. Of course, globular cluster fleets, stellar cluster fleets, intelligent black holes, and powerful weapons such as the Shengtianbo (a type of weapon) were also extensively deployed to these three systems.
“Zhou Yuan, the fleets dispatched by our two great civilizations have also set off. The three of us will meet in the 17th star sector of the 65th star field in the 39th quadrant, and then head together to the four star fields over there in the 83rd.”
“Okay, Panna.”
With everything in place, the three star system fleets of the Earth Empire—Tianxing III, Tianxing IV, and the Capital Star System—accelerated their entry into hyperspace.
