Chapter 167: Faya's Game
Yang Ming was actually a little nervous when he revisited the old place.
The legendary Levi Sherman lost his resonance with the Omnic Twilight without any warning;
As for how to resonate with the remains of this higher-dimensional civilization, the three old fellows were also vague, and they were unable to fully understand the operating mechanism of the entire remains base.
The Feinan entered the dust cloud and slowly approached the central area according to the direction it had recorded.
The subtle sound of collision echoed in the bridge of the Feinan. All lights on the ship were off. Yang Ming, with his nerves tense, approached this "blessed land" that brought him endless benefits.
finally……
"You're back so soon."
That familiar voice suddenly sounded, it was the gravekeeper.
Before Yang Ming could respond, the gravekeeper said:
"Oh, you successfully heard my call. That's good. At least it proves that you are still as pure as you were back then, and you haven't fallen into depravity under the unlimited advantages we have provided you."
A faint ray appeared outside the porthole.
The rays swept back and forth, and a white spot of light appeared in front of Yang Ming's eyes, and then he lost contact with the Feinan and Lu.
The first time is new, the second time is familiar.
Yang Ming's mentality was very stable, and this time he also skipped the "getting to know" phase from last time.
When he regained his sight and perception, there were three matchstick men standing in front of him, with the three names floating above their heads that Yang Ming could read directly.
Gravekeeper.
Examiner.
Ranger.
The examiner said with a smile: "Lü is still going through the security check. Her independent thinking has become even better, which is very good... Is the assessment about to begin? I can't wait to see the first-level civilization you have built. Don't worry, kid, our assessment has a lot of flexibility. I will help you. We hope that some candidates can complete five assessments."
Yang Ming was suddenly puzzled.
Lu, a mechanical thinking being, actually had to go through security check, but he just came in directly.
"Is the assessment necessary?" Yang Ming asked.
"Yes, this is a written rule," the examiner said with a smile, "You haven't encountered any difficulties and want to seek help from the three of us? Oh, you have already taken away everything we could give you during that time."
Yang Ming said: "I want to do some consulting, some consulting related to high-dimensional civilization."
The three stick figures looked at each other.
Yang Ming knew that this was a way for them to communicate and a sign of their interest in this.
Yang Ming continued, "It's fine as long as the assessment goes on normally. I'm already prepared. I'm more concerned about this consultation. It makes me very confused. I don't know where I came from or where I'm going. I don't know if my existence has any meaning, and whether everything I'm doing now has affected the future results."
“He raises philosophical questions.”
“He was discussing the meaning of existence.”
"He's thinking about cause and effect."
The three matchstick men swelled up quickly and turned into three old men with long arms, legs and necks, looking at Yang Ming with curiosity.
"Oh, young man, you are finally no longer that secondary ancient god life form who only knows how to use the most primitive methods to train muscle fibers."
"Tell me quickly, what problem did you encounter?"
"We have been thinking about this for countless years, and we have some knowledge of philosophy."
Yang Ming: …
This is called treating the disease with the right medicine.
He exhaled softly, trying to relax himself, his eyes full of sincerity.
You must find out the truth of the matter so that you don't go down the wrong path.
"I will start from the moment I opened my eyes. I'm sorry for hiding this from you before, but I think there should be some secrets between friends.
"When I first opened my eyes, I was on the Sherman Empire's research ship."
…
Yang Ming told the story for about three galaxies.
He provided the three elders of the mechanical civilization with detailed information about the destruction of the mother planet Earth, the fusion of consciousness, "The Abyss", the second player and the third player.
Lu has appeared beside him, adding some information from time to time.
"This is the problem I'm facing now. I want to know what kind of environment my home planet is in."
The gravekeeper and examiner shook their heads slowly.
"I'm sorry, child, I can't help you with this matter," said the gravekeeper, "My duty is to guard here, monitor the changes here, and give lasting meaning to the place where our creator passed away."
"I can't help you either," the examiner said. "I have a treasure trove of knowledge that can enable a low-level civilization to take off quickly. I am responsible for making the high-level civilization that has passed away shine again."
Yang Ming's heart suddenly felt gloomy.
But the Ranger quickly said, "I have been paying attention to the changes in civilization in the Milky Way. I should be able to answer this question for you."
Yang Ming: …
So, the shaking of the heads of the two people in front were just to show their presence?
Advanced mechanical civilization knows how to suppress before promoting.
Lu asked, "Teacher, can you directly summarize the current situation of my master's home planet?"
"Faya's game."
The Ranger folded his hands in front of him and gave the two a small smile.
Seeing Yang Ming and Lu showing eager expressions due to lack of information, the patroller was a little satisfied and continued slowly:
"This matter is not classified as confidential, nor does it involve our civilization, so I can give you a detailed explanation... How about a change of environment?"
As soon as Yang Minggang nodded, the patrolman took out the "remote control" and pressed it. He and Lu immediately appeared in the triangular room filled with warm light.
This is the true minimalist style, with only a table and two chairs, all filled with equilateral triangle elements.
The Ranger, the Gravekeeper, and the Examiner merged into one again, becoming a thick stick figure that appeared in the corner of the room.
Now it is clearly the Rangers that are leading the pack.
It raised its hand and nodded, and the slowly rotating Milky Way appeared in front of Yang Ming, and the spiral arms still looked so charming.
The Ranger lightly tapped his finger, and a thin layer of light shield enveloped the Milky Way.
“This is the environment you’re in right now.”
The Ranger said with a smile:
"According to the language you can understand, as well as the galactic language translated from our fundamental language, the high-dimensional civilization that controls the Milky Way can be called the Fayya civilization.
“It’s just a code name, nothing special.
"The current civilization level of the Faya civilization is 5.52. You can understand that they exist in a higher dimension and can complete their own dimensionality reduction and dimensionality increase at will.
"When a civilization enters the fourth level, it will break free from the limitations of time and space under limited conditions, have the ability to roam the universe, trace back to the extremely short moment before the origin of the universe, and predict the transformation of the form of limited matter through calculation. At this time, the civilization still relies on the material world.
“When a civilization enters level five, or in other words, the sign of a civilization entering level five, it completely transcends dimensions, possesses the past, present, and future of a limited world, and can influence everything through its own means.
“Our fundamental civilization has witnessed the collapse of several level five civilizations.
“It is worth mentioning that the Faya civilization is a civilization structure with humans as the main species. They follow a very diverse path and have absorbed many routes left by higher-level civilizations.
"They now have hundreds of large galaxies, and your Milky Way is just one of them."
Yang Ming wondered, "What does this have to do with my home planet?"
The Ranger said: "Cultivating lower-level civilizations of the same species, carrying out interstellar seeding, and allowing these lower-level civilizations to develop and grow is an effective way to ensure that higher-level civilizations can obtain continuous replenishment and innovation and resist various risks."
"Then?"
“This large galaxy has been developed long ago, and has been experiencing constant destruction of civilizations and wars.
"According to my observation, they carried out a basic civilization seeding about millions of galactic calendar years ago, or in other words, when the Milky Way was in this local universe coordinate, in order to restore the biological order dominated by humans in this large galaxy."
The Ranger laughed:
"If my guess is correct, your home planet is in this seeding.
“They set locks in human genes, which allow different planets to develop civilizations at different time points. Of course, there must be more sophisticated ways and means.
“About a million galactic years ago, another group of interstellar civilizations appeared in the Milky Way.
"You know what? At that time, I was looking at this galaxy, and I saw tiny, flashing ships appearing in its noisy astronomical background. This moved me a lot, and I even wrote a few poems about it. Do you want to listen to them?"
Yang Ming nodded politely.
Half an hour later, he finally brought the topic back to the topic.
Simply put, the Milky Way is controlled by a high-dimensional civilization called Faya, and the current main civilization of the Milky Way is the "reserve cabin" of the Faya civilization.
Maintain the vitality and creativity of this main civilization, enrich the possibilities of the main civilization, and gradually upgrade some national civilizations in the main civilization to the fourth level of civilization, so as to become a boost to the Fayya civilization.
To be precise, they are actually affiliated forces, cannon fodder, and gene pools.
This is the plan that higher-dimensional civilizations are implementing.
"For the Faya civilization that has developed to level 5.5, they also have enemies, powerful enemies."
The Ranger laughed:
“As the rear base of the Fayya civilization, the Milky Way is already quite stable. According to my observation, some areas of the Sherman Empire, which cover about a hundred administrative stars, may take a critical step in the next thousand years and thus receive more resources from the Fayya civilization.
"In fact, the Sherman Empire, the country created by Levi Sherman, your predecessor, has always been driven by the core motivation of improving the level of civilization."
Yang Ming nodded: "I have a general understanding of these. The high-dimensional civilization that controls the Milky Way hopes that more fourth-level civilizations will emerge in the Milky Way to help them. Then my hometown..."
"This is a mechanism to fill the gap in the main civilization, and it is also an extension of the logic followed by the Faya civilization."
The ranger moved his finger again, and the Milky Way gained a layer of hazy light.
Yang Ming's pupils adjusted automatically, and he soon discovered that they were star systems wrapped in a thin mist.
"Your home planet should be one of them."
The Ranger said:
“According to my observation, the Faya civilization has designed a set of procedures for low-level civilizations to integrate into the mainstream civilization.
“Your previous speculation, as well as the space-time bubble speculation made by your competitors, are actually very close to the truth.
"This is the primary greenhouse of civilization, usually with a diameter of one-five-hundredth to several light years. If the civilization inside touches the greenhouse wall, this program will be triggered.
“That ’s the game you mentioned called The Abyss.
“The Abyss is a civilization trial system. It is an important part of the Fayya civilization’s seeding plan . Everything that happens in the Milky Way is recorded by the Fayya civilization, and this is the basis for the existence of The Abyss.
"Your civilization went through the first trial, but unfortunately failed. The Faya civilization defeated your home planet, but their original intention was not to destroy the civilization they had sown themselves. Instead, they wanted to use this to reveal the cruelty of the cosmic environment and activate the redemption equation."
"Redemption?" Yang Ming asked, "How to redeem?"
"That's what you call a make-up exam."
The Ranger laughed:
“The speed of time in the Civilization Greenhouse is arbitrarily controlled by the Faya Civilization. As long as the regional conservation of matter and energy is maintained, it will not have much impact on the pan-galactic material world.
“When a low-level civilization is destroyed in the greenhouse, they will adjust the time so that the low-level civilization returns to the state of being ready to be assessed.
“Your home planet still exists, but your consciousness is gone, and your breeder will not remember the existence of a life form like you.
“According to my observation, your consciousness should have been randomly selected—this selection can ensure the fairness of the civilization trial—and then sent to a certain time node of the main civilization in the Milky Way.
"In this redemption system, you are called a forerunner. The redemption system allows you to take necessary measures to help your home planet civilization pass the trials better and join the main civilization of the Milky Way, becoming a supplement and nourishment for the main civilization of the Milky Way.
"Now, you should start changing the database of The Abyss. Oh no, I should say that you pioneers have already started changing the database of The Abyss.
“I must remind you that the make-up exam may not necessarily be thirty years later, but your home planet will appear at the time when the Abyss is first launched.
“As long as certain conditions are met, the make-up exams may begin at any time.
"The first assessment is conducted by a single civilization, while the redemption system usually involves three to five low-level civilizations taking the assessment together, still through the method of The Abyss."
Yang Ming frowned and thought.
The ranger provided detailed information, which made him feel that the trip was worthwhile.
The Earth civilization failed in the first trial and was directly destroyed by the Faya civilization, but this was just a warning. The purpose of the Faya civilization was to allow low-level human civilization to continuously replenish the main body of the Milky Way and promote the development of the main civilization of the Milky Way.
The second trial is now underway. I am a part of this trial and am representing the Earth in understanding the Milky Way.
"My mission is to tell my home planet that the Milky Way really exists?"
"The forerunners usually don't play a big role. You are the mechanism in the redemption system that transmits information to your home planet. Because you know your home planet well, you have had enough time to understand the galactic civilization," the Ranger said with a smile. "Don't feel pressured. In the first trial, the Faya civilization deliberately did not tell the lower civilizations the consequences of failing the trial."
The corner of Yang Ming's mouth twitched.
This high-dimensional civilization is too...
Dogs are a species on Earth.
The Ranger said slowly:
"You don't have to be discouraged. Only by reaching the 1.5 level of civilization in the greenhouse can you have a 50% chance of passing the first trial. Most of the civilizations that touch the greenhouse wall are between 0.9 and 1.2 levels. 90% of low-level civilizations fail in the first trial.
“But as long as you reach the 0.9 civilization level, there is a high probability of passing the second trial of 60%.
"Of course, if we fail to pass the test this time, we will be truly destroyed... The Faya civilization is very proud. Although they are still just infants compared to our host civilization, they are proud in their bones and will not allow failures to continue to exist."
Yang Ming was puzzled: "But the civilization of my home planet is only 0.75!"
The Ranger asked curiously, "Did you touch the greenhouse wall on purpose? Even though the difference is only 0.10, it is almost impossible to pass the second assessment if it is not 0.9 level."
Yang Ming blinked, and suddenly he thought of something.
Damn!
Traveler plan for a certain country!
That thing has flown more than 20 billion kilometers, or 0.0023 light years, which just meets the minimum diameter of the greenhouse wall.
this……
Yang Ming opened his mouth, feeling somewhat dry in the mouth.
"What will the second assessment test be about?"
"Faya's game."
The Ranger spoke slowly:
"We will still use the data from the Pan-Milky Way to create a virtual world. Three to five civilizations that have activated the Redemption System will have their time speed adjusted so that they are sent to the same starting point and the same starting line and enter the virtual world at the same time.
"Low-level civilizations form camps and constantly fight against each other to gain points for ranking. After a certain point, the lowest-ranked one or two low-level civilizations will be directly eliminated.
"Irreparable destruction of space and time."
Yang Ming: …
