Singers know that what they are doing is not a big deal, it's just picking up the slack, but it's a must do, and it's fun.
Speaking of fun, it was a fun place when the seed set sail from the home world, but then, since the war between the home world and the fringe world began, the fun has gradually diminished. Up to now, more than 10,000 particles of time have passed. Whether it is in the mother world or in the seed, there is not much fun at all. The fun of the classical era is written in ancient ballads, and those ballads are sung, and there are not many now. One of the fun.
The singer is chanting an ancient ballad as he flips through the data: I saw my love I flew to her side I held out the gift for her It was a small piece of frozen time There are beautiful stripes on the time Forgive my fingers
It feels as soft as the mud in the shallow sea... The
singer doesn't have too many complaints. Survival requires more thought and energy. The entropy of the universe is rising, and the degree of order is decreasing. Boundless black wings, pressing down on everything that exists, pressing down. But the low-entropy body is different. The entropy of the low-entropy body is still decreasing. The degree of order is still rising, like the phosphorous fire rising from the dark sea. This is the meaning. The meaning of the highest level is higher than the meaning of fun. To maintain this meaning, the low-enrichment body must exist and continue.
As for the higher end of the Tower of Meaning, don't think about it, you can't think of anything, and there are dangers, not to mention the top of the Tower of Meaning, which may not have a top at all.
Going back to the coordinates, there are many coordinates traveling through the space, like matrix worms flying in the sky of the mother world. Coordinate picking is performed by the main nucleus, which swallows all the information diffused in space, the medium, long, and light ones, and maybe one day short ones. The main core remembers the positions of all the stars, matches the information with various combined position patterns in the form of dot matrix, and identifies the coordinates. It is said that the main core can match the position pattern in front of 500 million time particles. The singer has not tried it, and it is meaningless. In that distant era, the low-level communities in the universe were relatively sparse, and neither hidden genes nor cleanup genes had yet evolved. And now - hide yourself and clean up.
But among all the coordinates, only some are sincere. Believing in insincere coordinates often means cleaning up empty worlds, a waste of energy, and a little bit of harm, because these empty worlds may still be used later. Senders of insincere coordinates are really unreasonable, they will get retribution.
There are some rules to follow for judging the sincerity of coordinates. For example, the coordinates of mass sending are often not sincere. But these laws are very rough. In order to truly and effectively judge the sincerity of the coordinates, we mainly rely on intuition. The main nucleus on the seed cannot do this. Even the super nucleus of the parent world cannot do it. This is the lower body. irreplaceable. Singers have this ability, this is not talent or instinct, but the intuition accumulated over tens of thousands of particles of time. A coordinate, in the eyes of a layman, is such a simple lattice, but in the eyes of a singer, it is alive, and every detail of its beauty is expressing itself.
For example, how many points are taken, how the target stars are marked, etc., as well as some more subtle details. Of course, the main core will also provide some relevant information, such as the history related to the coordinate, the direction of the coordinate broadcast source and the broadcast time. These merge into an organic whole, and what emerges in the singer's consciousness will be the coordinate broadcaster himself. The singer's spirit crosses the chasm of space and time, resonates with the broadcaster's spirit, and feels its fear and anxiety. There are also some unfamiliar feelings in the mother world, such as hatred, jealousy and greed. But mainly fear All, with fear, coordinates with sincerity—for all low-entropy bodies, fear is the guarantee of survival.
At this moment, the singer saw a sincere coordinate near the seed route. This is a coordinate broadcast with a long film, and the singer does not know why he concluded that it is sincere, and his intuition is unclear. He decided to clean it up, there was nothing more to do anyway, and it didn't affect the song he was singing. It doesn't matter if his judgment is wrong, cleaning is just like that, it's not a precise job, and it doesn't require absolute accuracy. This is not urgent work either, just do it sooner or later. This is also the reason for the low status of this position.
The singer took out a mass point from the seed warehouse, and then turned his eyes to the star pointed to by the coordinates. The main nucleus guided the singer's line of sight, like waving a spear in the starry sky. The singer held the mass point with the force field tentacles, ready to pop, but when he saw that position, the tentacles relaxed.
One of the three stars was missing, and there was a piece of white stardust, like the excrement of an abyss whale. It has been cleaned up, and the singer puts the quality point back into the warehouse. Really fast. He started a main nuclear process to trace the source of the mass point that killed the star. This is a job with a near-zero chance of success, but it must be done according to the rules. The process ends quickly, as every time, with no results.
The singer soon learned why the cleanup came so quickly. He saw the piece of slow fog near the world. The slow fog was about half a tectonic length away from the world. If you look at it alone, it is really difficult to determine its source, but when linked to the broadcasted coordinates, you can see at a glance that it belongs to of that world. The slow fog indicated that it was a dangerous world, so the cleanup came quickly. It seems that there is a low-entropy body that is more sensitive than his own intuition. This is not surprising, as the elder said, in the universe, no matter how fast you are, there are people who are faster than you, and there are people who are slower than you no matter how slow you are.
Generally speaking, the single coordinates that are broadcast will eventually be cleaned up, it's just a matter of time. You may think this coordinate is insincere, but there are billions of cleaners in billions of low-entropy worlds, and there is always someone who thinks it is sincere. Low-entropy bodies have cleaning genes, and cleaning is their instinct. Besides, cleaning up is a very simple matter, there are latent forces everywhere in the universe, just induce them to do things for you, and it costs almost nothing and doesn't delay singing.
If the singer waits patiently, the sincerity coordinates will eventually be cleared by other unknown lower descendants, but this is not good for the mother world and the seed. After all, he received the coordinates and glanced at the world pointed to by the coordinates. That world made some kind of connection. It would be naive to think that the connection is one-way, remember the great reversible law of detection: if you can see a low-enrichment world, it is only a matter of time before that low-enhanced world will see you sooner or later. Therefore, it is dangerous to wait for others to do everything.
The next thing to do is to put this useless coordinate in a database called "Tomb" for archiving, which is also required by the regulations. Of course, the records related to it should also be put in together, just like burying the relics of the deceased together, which is the custom of the mother world anyway.
One thing in "Relics" that aroused the interest of the singer was the three correspondence records between the deceased and another coordinate, using the medial membrane. The middle membrane is the membrane with the lowest communication efficiency, also called the original membrane. The long film is used the most, but it is said that the short film can also be used to transmit information. If it is true, it is a god. But the singer likes the original film, he feels that the original film has a kind of quaint beauty, which symbolizes the fun-filled era. He often composes the original membrane information into ballads, which are always good to sing. Of course, I generally don't understand anything, and there is no need to understand. Except for the coordinates, the original membrane information will not have much useful things. Just feel its rhythm That's it. But this time, the singer actually understood a little bit of this information. Because part of it has a self-interpretation system! The singer can only understand a little bit, an outline is enough to see an incredible process.
First, a message was broadcast from another coordinate, the Primordial Membrane, and the low-entropy bodies of that world (singers called it the Starbender) clumsily plucked their stars, like the troubadours of the Mother World in ancient times Play the rough violin. It is this broadcast message that contains the self-deciphering system.
Although that self-deciphering system is also very clumsy and primitive. But it was enough for the singer to compare the textual pattern of a subsequent message from the deceased, apparently in response to a broadcast message. This is already incredible, but the star bomber who broadcasted earlier actually answered again. Very interesting, very interesting! The singer has indeed heard of the low-level world with no hidden genes and no hidden instincts, but this is the first time I have seen it. Of course. These three communications between them do not reveal their absolute coordinates, but reveal the relative distance between the two worlds, which is fine if the distance is far, but very close, only four hundred and sixteen tectonic lengths, Close enough to stick together. In this way, if the coordinates of one of the worlds are exposed, the other will inevitably be exposed, it is only a matter of time.
The coordinates of the star bomber are thus exposed.
After nine time grains had elapsed from those three communications, another record appeared, and the starbenders flicked their star to broadcast a message, which...is actually a coordinate! The main core determined that it was a coordinate. The singer turned to look at the star that coordinate pointed to, and found that it had also been cleared, about thirty-five time grains ago. Singer thinks that he was wrong just now, and Star Bomber still has hidden genes, because it has cleanup genes, it is impossible not to have hidden genes. But like all coordinate broadcasters, it doesn't have the ability to clean up on its own. 1 very interesting. very interesting.
Why did the low-entropy bodies that clean up the dead not clean up the starbombers? There are many reasons. Perhaps they did not notice these three communications, the original membrane information is always unnoticed. But there will always be noticed in billions of worlds, and the singer is one. In fact, if there is no singer, it will also be noticed by other low-enrichment bodies, it is only a matter of time. Maybe they've noticed, but low-ranking groups with no hidden genes aren't much of a threat or trouble.
But it's a big mistake! Generally speaking, if the Star Bomber really does not have hidden genes, it is not afraid to expose its existence, and it will expand and attack recklessly.
At least until death.
But specific to this one, it's a bit more complicated. The previous three communications, plus another coordinate broadcast, and after sixty time particles, the long-film coordinate broadcast to the deceased from elsewhere. This chain of events constitutes an ominous picture of danger. Twelve time grains have passed since the removal of the dead. The star bomber should realize that his coordinates have been exposed. At this time, see "Three-Body Problem" and "Three-Body Problem II: Dark Forest". Wrap yourself in the slow mist and make yourself look safe so that no one will pay attention to them. Maybe it doesn't have this ability. But judging from the fact that it has been able to pull out the stars and send out the original film broadcast, this time is enough that it has this ability, maybe it just doesn't want to do it.
If it is the latter, the star-blinker is extremely dangerous, much more dangerous than the dead. Hide yourself. Clean up. The singer turned his attention to the star bomber, and saw that it was a very ordinary star, with at least one billion time particles remaining. It has eight planets, four of which are liquid giants and four are solid planets. According to the singer's scripture face, the low-cut body that performs the original film broadcast is on the solid planet. The singer started the process of big eyes, he is rarely so arrogant, this is an ultra vires.
"What are you doing? Big Eyes is busy right now," said the elder of the seeds. "There is a world of low picks, I want to take a closer look." The singer replied. "Your work, a glance from a distance is enough." "Just curious." "Big eyes have more important goals to observe, no time to satisfy your curiosity, just do your thing." The singer did not continue. Requests, cleaners are the lowest-ranking position in the seed and are always looked down upon as easy chores to do. Those who despise them forget that the broadcasted coordinates are always dangerous, more dangerous than most of the hidden ones.
The rest was cleared up, and the singer took out the quality point from the warehouse again. It suddenly occurred to him that mass points cannot be used to clean up star bombers. The structure of this galaxy is different from that of the dead galaxy in front of him. There are dead spots. Using mass points may not be able to clean up, or even useless effort. This requires two-way foil. . However, the singer did not have the authority to take the two-way foil from the warehouse, and had to apply to the elders.
"I need a piece of two-way foil for cleaning." The singer said to the elder.
"Give it." The elder immediately gave the singer a piece. The two-way foil is suspended in front of the singer, in a packaged state, crystal clear. Although it's just a very common thing, the singer likes it very much. He doesn't like those expensive tools that are too violent, he likes the hardest softness embodied by the two-way foil, this kind of beauty that can sing death into a song.
But the singer was a little uneasy, "Why did you give it to me so easily this time?"
"This is not a valuable thing." "But if this thing is used too much, it will always..." "Universe It's used everywhere in the music." "Yes, it's used everywhere, but we used to be somewhat restrained, and now..." "Did you hear something?" The elder was in the singer's thought body Looking up, the singer shuddered. The elder quickly found the legend heard by the singer, and this is not a sin, it is an open secret on the seed.
It is about the war between the mother world and the marginal world. There were reports of battles in the past, but they disappeared later. But it is impossible for the mother world and the marginal world to coexist, and the marginal world must be eliminated, otherwise it will be destroyed. If the war cannot be won, it can only be...
"Is the mother world ready to become two-way?" the singer asked, in fact, the elders already knew his problem.
The elder did not answer, perhaps tacitly.
If so, it is very sad. Singers can't imagine that kind of life. On the Tower of Meaning, survival is above everything else. In the face of survival, all low-enrichment bodies in the universe can only choose the lesser of two evils.
The singer removes these thoughts from the thought body, this is not what he should think, it is asking for trouble. What he was thinking about now was where he had sung just now. It took him a long time to remember, and he continued to sing: ... There are beautiful streaks on the time. It feels as soft as the mud of the shallow sea. She takes the time. Smear all over and pull me to the edge of existence This is phase flight The stars in our eyes are like ghost stars We are also like ghosts in the eyes In singing, the singer picks up the two-way foil with his force field tentacles and throws it carelessly To the star bomber.
