Resurrection Empire-Chapter 1088 - 424: Savior from the Temporal Rift

Through the information provided by the old ice pops, Ren Zhong already knew that humans had developed in the bustling Star Zone for a full ten million years.

But it was obvious that both the Mechanical Empire and the other three major forces had hit the most despairing technological wall of the civilization's great filter.

The four different routes taken by humans were all tightly confined by this invisible wall.

If not, the wars between the four Star Countries should have already determined a victor.

This wall objectively exists, but the reason for its existence is still unknown.

It could be that the intellectual limit of humans, as carbon-based life forms, is destined to stop here.

It might also be that the material resources in this starry sky limit the height of science from a materials science perspective.

It could also be that the dodecahedral patterns within the Electron Cloud represent physical laws that confine what human scientists can observe at the microscopic level, or for the same reason, humans have lost true chaotic thinking, thereby losing the inspiration to break through the technological blockade.

Indeed, after hearing from Ma Xiaocheng and from these old ice pops in front of him that the average lifespan of imperial humans was only sixty-two years, Ren Zhong had already concluded that the Empire's domain must also be under the coverage of the dodecahedral rules.

Now he was just verifying his inner conjecture once more.

From another angle of analysis, Ren Zhong imagined himself as a higher-grade cosmic life secretly enslaving all humans, looking down on humans from above.

Ren Zhong suddenly made some shocking discoveries.

Some objective facts that he, being human, would find hard to see outside the well, that is, the pure tool attribute of humans.

Ren Zhong had never been in contact with aliens.

But from a biological perspective, Ren Zhong speculated that in the eyes of High Rank cosmic life, humans might possess strong adaptability and reproductive abilities, as well as sufficiently powerful subjective initiative. Moreover, when human productivity reaches certain standards, they can continue to rapidly explode in population, and have the instinct to continually expand outward and gather more resources.

Imagine, this perspective is actually quite similar to how humans view ants.

If humans mastered the technology to manipulate ants, the first thing they would do would be to make ants into miners, using ants to complete a large amount of sorting and resource gathering and other tedious work, just like ancient beekeepers.

Similarly, if there truly were some extraterrestrial life that discovered humans.

This extraterrestrial life could even manipulate underlying physical rules to some extent and secretly control human society, driving humans to engage in some tedious work, which this extraterrestrial life, though disdainful, still considers important. This extraterrestrial life would surely be very willing.

This work is precisely calculating the universe's hash value.

The so-called universe hash value is not the blockchain term in the conventional sense. It is a broad term established on humanity's vision of obtaining the grand unified calculation formula of the universe. It is not a simple string of encrypted code, but a set of numbers composed of countless constants in an extremely large calculation formula.

In the scientific system of "Ancient" humans, humanity once believed in constant parameters for a long time.

For example, the calculation of terminal velocity in free fall equals time multiplied by gravitational acceleration, which in formula terms is v=gt. Here, g is gravitational acceleration, and the terminal velocity equals the number of seconds of time multiplied by 9.80665... m/sec².

By infinitely complicating similar calculation formulas, adding one variable after another, scientists gradually wove an immensely complex formula, trying to use this mathematical formula to summarize all phenomena of energy change, energy transfer, stellar evolution, planetary evolution, birth, aging, illness, and death of life, matter transfer motion, etc., in the universe.

Scientists hoped that any phenomenon, whether microscopic or macro, could fit into this formula for precise calculation.

In the continuous process of advancement, with the help of brilliant scientists, variables were indeed pondered and added one after another, revised, and then calculations began.

Humanity once deluded itself into thinking it had succeeded, but after the four major forces conducted simulation verification with their respective supercomputing methods, they still found errors in the constants of the formula.

In theoretical experiments, even in the simplest thermal diffusion motion, if the operation time continues to extend, and the heat circulation exceeds a certain number of cycles, energy imbalance will occur, subsequently leading to system collapse.
