Chapter 214 Collision
"No matter what kind of civilization it is... there will always be a moment when it comes to an end."
Many civilizations, when they develop to a certain point, always imagine how they will meet their end.
Some civilizations were imagined very early, like the Ershi people began to imagine in the Middle Ages.
At the same time, these civilizations also created various stories and legends about the end of the world.
As these legends become more and more numerous, most civilizations will become less and less concerned about them, and will simply create these doomsday legends as a form of entertainment.
Some civilizations will care very much about this kind of thing, and they will begin to try to prepare various plans to deal with doomsday.
This is the case with the civilization that the clone is studying.
The clone discovered a lot about the culture of this civilization in the buildings they constructed, which are those light pillars.
In essence, they are a kind of "universal civilization".
This civilization does not have a fixed form of civilization. They mainly experience life in each space they construct... Most of the time, when they go in to experience it, it starts from a very early... very primitive era.
Therefore, these experiencers will slowly develop civilization in the simulated space within the light column.
Some are like civilizations of individual creatures, some are like civilizations of species with division of labor... and some allow their thinking to grow and spread like plants.
The creatures of this civilization can simulate themselves into various different life forms in order to experience their lives.
The space manager will record various data and information in the simulated space and then store this information.
Finally, they check this information frequently.
Most of this is done to observe various interesting things happening in the simulated space, but this information also has a very important use.
That is to determine the form of their civilization itself.
Their civilization is generally individualistic, with each individual having different thinking.
And sometimes, they will undergo some changes and transform themselves into another state of civilization.
For example, now that they have discovered that individuals suffering from "time out of time" have foreseen the end of their space... they will immediately begin to prepare for this doomsday.
Entire civilizations began to 'connect' together.
They usually live like individual creatures, but in emergencies they will adopt some more suitable states to deal with the situation.
That is the state of group consciousness.
They can connect their minds together, ending their previous individual states and becoming separate consciousnesses.
But if they have this ability, why can't they cure those individuals with chronobia?
The clones did not find the answer at that time, and these individuals maintained the state of seeing the 'future' from the beginning to the end.
And those normal individuals are all integrated together to form a huge consciousness.
They synthesize a collective consciousness, mainly to deal with the 'doomsday' that may happen next.
After the synthesis, this collective consciousness began to investigate.
The main purpose is to investigate whether there is any space in the distance that can approach here and collide with here.
Before they synthesize collective consciousness, they have no way to conduct investigations, mainly because the authority to use some of their special devices requires collective consciousness.
After the collective consciousness investigated, it did discover that there was a space approaching in the distance.
What these individuals with chronobia perceive is real, and their space will most likely be destroyed after colliding with that space.
And through calculation and consideration, this collective consciousness discovered a possibility.
This collision may bring a new...opportunity.
Because their civilization has been collecting environmental data from various spaces and simulating these spaces.
Consciousness discovered that the space that crashed into might contain data about a space that they had never collected before.
And as long as they collect this space environment data, they will be able to complete the 'complete collection'.
What they collected were mainly the various internal environmental data of the small spaces that were formed by the collapse of the void, and the collection has been almost completed.
As long as they are all collected, they can create an 'ultimate environmental space' with infinite possibilities.
It can also be said that this is an ultimate space that integrates all spatial environments and all spatial rules.
It’s just not that easy to make. They need to find a space to fly to the farthest and obtain the information there.
And now, the integrated consciousness discovered that the space that had crashed into them might contain the information and data they wanted.
Originally, it could have avoided the space that was hitting it, but its consciousness decided not to avoid it.
It will make the two spaces collide, and activate the 'ultimate space generation device' when they collide.
This generating device was created by them a long time ago. It is said that by integrating the information data of all spaces, it can generate an ultimate space.
After making this decision, consciousness began to prepare. It did not record the preparation process in detail. In short, nothing special happened, and it just waited for the arrival of space.
Finally, the two sides collided.
At the moment the two spaces collided, the integrated consciousness activated the generation device, and in the end... there was no record.
Because nothing is recorded next.
The space where this civilization exists is still there, otherwise the clone would not be able to investigate here.
The clone had no way of knowing what happened to that consciousness and the space it crashed into, because it left no record after that.
This civilization also seemed to have perished, leaving behind only the ruins of buildings that looked like pillars of light in space.
However, for the clone, the clues were not interrupted.
Because the way the integrated consciousness leaves these records is different from before.
Before this civilization was integrated into one consciousness, they mainly used a text-like method... that is, they recorded information by engraving it on something.
After being integrated into a single consciousness, this consciousness mainly creates some "energy" that remains in the space for recording.
The clone detects these "energies" to find out what the consciousness is thinking, and also perceives the consciousness itself...thinking through this.
In fact, consciousness continues to release this "energy" after the space collision.
The clone could sense that after the two spaces collided, the thinking of consciousness had changed drastically.
This feeling is somewhat similar to that of an Ershimin's brain suddenly turning into a mechanical computer.
Simply put, the collision in space may directly turn this integrated consciousness into another species.
At the same time, the clone believed that this species... might be Ersh.
