Chapter 746 Boundary

"That's where the border should be."

Corpse Girl Terminal raised her hand and pointed at the picture coming back from the external monitor, with a hint of surprise in her tone.

Hao Ren stared at the images from outside the spacecraft in stunned silence. After a long time, he sighed: "...It's really the beginning of a big dream."

The Giant Turtle Yantai is gliding briskly in a silent and bizarre space, its speed has dropped to a low speed that is almost like cruising in the atmosphere. The boundaries of this world appear around the spacecraft, and its scene is like a child sketching in a dream. The starry sky that comes out: weird, simple, straightforward.

Countless celestial bodies passed outside the spacecraft, small and colorful.

Hao Ren and Zhiji Terminal came to the upper observation platform of the Giant Turtle Rock Platform to experience the border of this false world for themselves. He saw groups of light groups floating in space, with delicate patterns or rings painted on them. Stars less than one meter in diameter and gaseous planets the size of eggs were flying around him like projections in a holographic planetarium. Flying back and forth, they move in precise orbits, emit light, and experience life and death. Some planets that looked like marbles were flying towards us. They had no mass or strength. When they came into contact with the shell of the Giant Turtle Yantai, they exploded and dissipated like a disturbed TV screen. Hao Ren stretched out his hand and reached into a Inside the dazzling "star", he felt a slight heat and a tingling sensation like an electric shock. The star was disturbed, and in a burst of shaking, it disappeared silently.

"This is the boundary of the world," Terminal stood among the stars, his blond hair reflecting the hazy starlight, "a holographically projected universe...and it's so small, it's almost like a model."

"Because this place is very close to the star Zhuom," Hao Ren lowered his head and glanced. A dim blue dot was shining slightly below the Giant Turtle Rock Platform. That was Zhuom, and it was still in sight. "At this distance, it is necessary to simulate To create a starry sky, it is enough to create such an image. As long as no one comes to this place in a spaceship... no one will find that the starry sky above them is manufactured."

"What if someone finds out?"

"The world is reset every certain time, because it cannot allow humans to develop excessively high technology, or even allow humans to develop technology with peace of mind... But the simulation program of this world must follow the 'real' principle, and cannot allow the world to There is a sense of inconsistency in its development, so the only way to prevent humans from entering space is to constantly restart the entire map." Hao Ren thought he had grasped the key to the problem, but there was still a crucial answer that he could not grasp, "But restarting As for the map, you can use any method. Nolan is the only one in the world who can retain the memory of reincarnation. The other humans are refreshed without consciousness. So what is the point of the Doomsday War?"

In the first few thousand years of this world, every reincarnation was a peaceful pastoral world. Human beings enjoyed peace and prosperity in reincarnation and never found anything wrong with their world. However, in the recent dozens of reincarnations, , the world begins to come to an end - each time it ends in the flames of war. Hao Ren felt that this was completely meaningless. If he just wanted to use the virtual world to trap the humans here, a peaceful, slow and peaceful age with no progress would be more suitable than a world at war. Then what was the meaning of those world war scripts?

"I can think of a lot of more suitable scenario maps with my brain. If we restart the feudal era, one map can even be used for thousands of years without worrying about humans rushing out of the earth." Hao Ren frowned and shook his head slightly. "So the purpose of this world is not to trap humans. It should just be a protective measure to prevent humans from discovering the secrets of the starry sky... I guess this should be a refuge."

"Why don't we move a little further to the border?" Zhi Ji Terminal suggested, "There is still a road ahead, and this virtual space seems quite big."

"I'm worried that it will cause data overflow," Hao Ren hesitated. "If this world is simulated by a computer program, forcibly visiting the boundary may lead to logic errors."

Zhiji Terminal thought for a while: "According to our experience, such a complex system must have a disaster buffer module. If we forcefully rush out of the boundary, we will most likely be bounced back directly. And even if the data overflows, as long as we retreat in time There should be no problem: such a powerful virtual program can’t even have the function of fixing bugs, right?”

Hao Ren thought about it carefully and finally decided to give it a try according to Zhiji Terminal's suggestion. To be honest, he was also quite curious about the scene at the end of the border.

The Giant Turtle Rock Platform began to accelerate slowly again, and this time its progress was more cautious than before. Hao Ren and the terminal stayed on the upper observation platform, controlling the spacecraft's progress through remote control. Around the two "people", the small celestial bodies floating in the universe became more and more dense, and their shapes became more bizarre. Since they are quite far away from Zomu, it is difficult to observe their details from surface telescopes, so these celestial bodies tend to be crudely made. Many stars are simply luminous flat maps, with their round side facing towards Zomu forever.

Going further, even the galaxies have become flat maps with dynamic images floating on them.

Finally, the spacecraft stopped without warning, with no inertia or vibration. It just stood still in space as abruptly as if the pause button had been pressed. Hao Ren noticed that the front end of the spacecraft had lost its color, appearing an ugly gray-white color like a three-dimensional model without textures. At the end of his field of vision was endless darkness, without any stars or textures anymore.

"This is the ultimate boundary of this world," the terminal observed the scene at the end of the horizon. "There is no defined and rendered area, and it seems that this 'universe' has not collapsed because we reached the boundary. The previous worries are unnecessary. "

"We're here, but the controller behind the world still hasn't shown up." Hao Ren came to the end of the observation platform and looked around at the surrounding scene. The "universe" was split into two before his eyes, and one half was an endless dark scene. Half of it was densely packed with luminous celestial bodies, but he did not hear the voice of the creator of this virtual world at the end of the world, "Hey! Is there anyone?! We are here! The end of the world! Aren't you going to come out and say something?" !”

The terminal glanced at him: "Do you think anyone can hear it? There is no air outside the platform."

"Do you think the controller of the virtual world needs to use ears to listen to the sounds in the program?"

The terminal asked another question: "So is there really a controller in this virtual world?"

Hao Ren's eyebrows twitched: "You mean..."

"Maybe this is all automatic," the terminal shook his head, "Maybe there was a controller before, but... wait!"

Hao Ren suddenly became nervous: "What's wrong?"

"This machine seems to have just received a signal from the detection drone group!" The terminal covered its forehead and concentrated on listening to the sound from the information link. "It is a direct signal...it is very weak and has distortion...but it is indeed Direct signal. Part of the sensing function of this machine seems to have been restored!"

"Recovery?" Hao Ren widened his eyes and looked at the surrounding starry sky, "Is it because he is at the 'border'?"

"Probably...probably this is the closest to the real world, so it can break through something similar to a firewall and communicate with the outside world," the terminal said quickly, "It may also be that the background program of this world controls the intensity in this area. Weakened, the shielding disappeared... Damn it, the signal is still too weak for this unit to hear clearly."

Hao Ren made a quick decision: "Don't waste bandwidth. Can you transmit navigation information? Just transmit navigation information!"

"Try it on this machine!"

"You'd better hurry up," Hao Ren said as he looked towards the place where the stars were densest. He found that those celestial bodies were flashing rapidly. This was a phenomenon that had not happened before. It was obvious that something unexpected was happening. " Something doesn’t seem right about this place… I’m afraid the background program in this world has finally decided to do something!”

The terminal shouted: "This machine is working hard, working hard!"

As time passed by, almost all the "stars" in the universe began to shine crazily, and celestial bodies continued to disappear. Almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, large areas of darkness appeared in Hao Ren's field of vision. A lightning-quick thought suddenly popped out of his mind: collapse.

The world is beginning to collapse!

"It's been transmitted!" The data terminal shouted loudly, "Although only part of it has been transmitted..."

"Then get out of this place quickly!!"

(It seems that there will be double the number at the end of this month. When you vote, please keep half of your monthly votes until the end of the month. As for why you keep half... Because of the Dian Niang metaphysics voting system, there seems to be an upper limit for one vote. You can accumulate it at the end of the month. It seems like there are too many votes and it won’t be cast.)
