Chapter 1139: The final tipping point (1/2)
The first thousand and thirty-ninth chapter of the text of the sword of dawn, the generation of the final critical point is mostly extinguished.
A word from Enya was like a cold wind, which made Gao Wen who was about to get excited instantly calm down from the inside out, his face became calm, and he savored the information revealed behind the "extinguishing". It took a long time to break the silence: "It's extinguished... how did it go out? Do you mean that they are all extinct for various reasons?"
"Those signals are like the lights in the night flickering in the distance. Perhaps it is limited by technology. The flickering lights can only reveal very limited information. Sometimes the information is so simple that it can only convey the meaning of'I am here.' Then at a certain moment, some signals will suddenly disappear, and there will be no new news. The vast universe has buried too many secrets and truths. In the darkness, I can't see anything."
Enya spoke slowly, as if picking up those yellowed pages in a long vague memory.
"I don't know what happened to them. Just like other minds trapped on this planet, I can only guess the end of those civilizations by speculating on known phenomena, but some of them... I successfully deciphered Based on the information they sent, it was basically certain that they were either destroyed by natural disasters or perished by gods."
Gawain subconsciously repeated the last few words of the other party: "Death to the gods?"
Enya whispered: "The gods who died to the gods and their own. Among the few signals that were successfully deciphered, I did hear them calling out the final call sign in the anger of the gods, even though the voice crossed the distant stars. , But still desperate enough to be unbearable to hear."
"So as we guessed before, if there are intelligent creatures on other planets, and if their world also follows the laws of nature as we understand, then they will also face everything we face..." Gao Wenqing He took a breath, "After they developed to a certain extent, they also triggered the ritual of'final disobedience', which led to the loss of control and destruction of the gods..."
Enya did not speak, but after a pause, Gao Wen then asked: "What is the situation that was destroyed by natural disasters? What kind of natural disasters are they?"
"The signals that were lucky enough to be able to cross the galaxy are mostly vague and seldom can transmit clear and detailed information, especially when the'natural disaster' broke out, the civilization that sent the message often fell into chaos, which is more chaotic than the gods descended. Even more serious, they can no longer organize manpower to launch an orderly "dying call" into outer space," Enya said quietly, as if analyzing a corpse in a calm tone, telling Gao Wen about her past 100 years. The cruel clues I have come into contact with for thousands of years, "So, the description of the'natural disaster' is very messy and broken, but it is this messy and broken state that I can almost be sure that they are encountering the'magic tide'. ."
Magic Tide.
At this moment, Gawain’s expression did not change at all. Although he had already stirred a strong ripple in his heart, the strong ripple only confirmed the speculation he had already had a long time ago.
Enya's conclusion is that he expected that the magic wave is not limited to this planet, but a common phenomenon in this universe. They will sweep the entire starry sky fairly and periodically, smoothing out the civilization in the stars. Records under.
The golden dome in the room remained quiet. Enya seemed to be carefully observing Gawain’s expression. After a moment of silence, she said again: "All of this is just a conclusion I have speculated based on the observed phenomenon. I dare not. They are guaranteed to be accurate, but one thing is certain that the universe is more prosperous than we thought, but it is also more deadly. The dark and deep starry sky is filled with countless twinkling candlelights of civilization, but under those candlelights, there are more numbers. Many graves that have been extinguished and cooled."
"These things...Does the Dragon Race also know?" Gao Wen suddenly asked curiously.
"They only know a small part, but no dragon dares to go deeper," Enya said calmly. "In the long period of 1.87 million years, there have been dragons watching the starry sky at a critical point. There was movement, but I blocked all signals from the outside world and interfered with their perception of the starry sky. As you know, looking up at the starry sky was a taboo thing in the old Talrond."
"But their gods and gods have been paying attention to the voices among the stars, and even done so much research," Gawain looked at the golden dome in front of him with a weird expression, "If no dragon can look up at the stars , How did you..."
"Close your eyes and listen carefully," Enya said, with a smile in her tone, "Remember? On the top of the Tarrond Temple, there is the highest observatory, and I always stand there to listen. It is a dangerous thing for sounds from the universe to take the initiative to move towards the starry sky, but if those signals have already been transmitted to this planet, passive listening will not be so easy to lose control.
"But even so, it's not easy to do this...every time I stand on the stargazing platform, I have to fight against two forces at the same time. One is my own resistance and fear of the unknown deep space, and the other is my behavior. God’s impulse to destroy the mortal world, so I will be very careful to control my frequency of going to the observatory and keep myself at the critical point of losing control."
Gao Wen listened to Enya telling these secrets that no second person knew, and couldn’t help but curiously asked: "Why did you do this? Since doing so will cause you so much pressure..."
"Curious," Enya said, "Aren't you curious?"
"...Nature and instinct are not inconsistent, do they?" Gao Wen smiled bitterly and shook his head after a brief astonishment. "You know, these things you told remind me of a... spread in'My Hometown' 'Theory."
"Your hometown... the hometown of foreign wanderers?" Enya's tone changed, "What kind of theory is it?"
"Big filter," Gao Wen sighed gently, and explained patiently, "a filtering mechanism that lies in front of all civilizations and determines whether they are lucky enough to step out of the starry sky. We believe that life grows out of nothing and develops gradually. The process of the highest interstellar civilization can be divided into several stages, and at least one of these stages is extremely dangerous and the chance of survival is slim. A certain kind of crisis will cause almost all species to become extinct and disappear at this stage, making them unable to step in the end. Out of its own planet, and this harsh screening and elimination mechanism is the'big filter'.
"We can’t be sure when the big filter will appear in what form. Before we actually step into the stars, we can’t be sure whether a civilization has passed the test of the big filter by chance, or the test is still tomorrow... In this world, it seems that this puzzle that has plagued scholars has already been answered."
