My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1406
[1396. Chapter 1376 Pinball Theory, the Real Source of the Disaster!]
For those survivors who have made it onto the list of the top 100 celebrities in the wasteland, the records not only record the territories where they were when they became famous, but also their location information for one, two, and several years later.
Even if these people are still like Xi Ruyue, far from the time of emerging, Su Mo can rely on these records to infer their possible locations, providing important references for recruitment at any time.
And for those talents who have not yet emerged but have outstanding abilities, Su Mo also did not let them go. For
some survivors who survived until the dawn, Su Mo simply asked these people to write their own memoirs, recalling their previous location information and where they went later.
For those who sacrificed, if they have family members, let the family members provide them, if that is not possible, ask friends, territories, or people they know to provide them.
The information may not be as accurate as the former, but after comprehensive investigation, it still has sufficient reference value.
“The first stop is the Mizuno Alliance, about 500 kilometers away.”
After taking out a notebook to confirm the information, Su Mo took out a small cube from his pocket that looked similar to the original Zero.
Most of the rewards that Hope can receive every month when sailing through the Ten Thousand Worlds are ordinary items, but there are also times when you are lucky enough to get a rare artificial intelligence carrier.
Considering that the current energy system of Tianyuan Territory is already a bit difficult to support Zero’s learning, Su Mo simply turned this second carrier into a functional copy of Zero.
Except for the inability to learn, there is basically no difference between the two in basic artificial intelligence.
“Let’s get started.”
“Yes, sir.”
The copy of Zero automatically flew up and landed on the instrument panel, and the guerrilla boat also entered the automatic cruise state at the same time.
After staring for a while to make sure that there was no problem with the automatic driving, Su Mo slowly walked to the center of the cabin and sat down.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and let his thoughts drift like smoke, gradually reaching a state of emptiness.
With a thought, the game panel quietly emerged in the air, emitting a faint glow.
“Enter the World Cauldron.”
As the words fell, the world in front of him began to fade rapidly, first turning into a black and white silent film, and then quickly shattered.
Countless thick black fogs slowly emerged from the field of vision, and then completely covered every space.
“The black color seems to have faded.”
Arriving in the space inside the cauldron, Su Mo shook his neck and stood up from the ground.
The thick black fog in the past has become hazy and soft at this moment, as if it was gently blown by a breeze, and the color has faded a lot.
Moreover, in this hazy background, there are flashes of azure blue lightning from time to time, like stars dotted in the void, and every time it lights up, it brings a kind of soul-shaking power.
At this
moment, Su Mo was stunned.
He felt that he had auditory hallucinations, as if he could hear whispers coming from the void, as if countless creatures were praying for him to respond.
At the same time, Su Mo also felt a familiar power. He felt like he was a god in this space, and he could control everything here at will.
He imagined that he could trigger a shocking storm by waving his fingers.
He imagined that he could speak softly and bring down divine power like thunder.
“Adam?”
Su Mo suddenly realized something and laughed, looking up into the void.
Sure enough, an illusory figure quickly condensed, and it was Adam who had rested for a long time.
After handing over the authority of the World Cauldron and exercising the infusion of the original power on his behalf, Adam temporarily fell into a deep sleep to recover.
But this time it was much lighter than the damage in the future ruins, and it took more than a month to recover.
“Long time no see, after the World Cauldron has a master, the speed of self-recovery is indeed much faster than expected!” Adam looked around and said excitedly.
The World Cauldron is connected to the entire Giant Mountain Star Region, and the space inside the cauldron also confirms the health of this star region.
Pure nothingness means aging and death, and the star region is rapidly declining.
And now the black has faded, and lightning has appeared. All this looks like the star region is developing in a good direction.
“Huh, can it still recover by itself?” Su Mo was stunned.
“Of course it can be restored.” Adam smiled slightly, and his body floated down from the air: “Speaking of which, you probably don’t know the specific source of the disaster that occurred in the main world?”
“It’s not a random draw from the game.”
Su Mo answered subconsciously, but he didn’t react until he said it.
In the past, the disaster was indeed randomly drawn by the game, but now he is doing a multiple-choice question of choosing one out of three.
Although there are still some restrictions on the range of choices, it is no longer completely controlled by the game.
In connection with the changes in the space inside the cauldron, Su Mo pondered and guessed: “Could the source of the disaster be related to the Giant Mountain Star Region itself?”
“Yes, you guessed it.”
Adam nodded happily. Since Su Mo became the master of the World Cauldron, the game has restricted him a lot less.
Some links that could only be riddles in the past can now be casually said.
But thinking about this, Adam also felt a little emotional.
In the past, the game has been played so many times, and there are too many players and too many forces that have developed much stronger than what Su Mo has now, but these people have always been studying how to survive in the wasteland, and have always been very cautious in exploring higher levels.
This also led to the fact that when they were about to reach a higher level, there was little time left for these people.
The magnitude of the disaster was getting more and more exaggerated, and they would be destroyed if they were not careful.
In this situation, how could they still have the mentality to explore the truth? They would give up on themselves if they did not take the right path.
Of course, this was also the conclusion Adam came to based on the result-based process.
In the past, those people did not have a system, so how could they have the ability to explore special powers that were several levels higher than survival in the early stage?
“The World Cauldron represents the current state of the entire star field. In a healthy state, it will be more beautiful and charming than anywhere else you have seen. But when the star field is on the road to destruction and surrounded by destructive forces, it will be uglier and more terrifying than anywhere else, and it is almost the source of all the dead silence.”
“And the essence of the disaster is that the destructive forces in the star field are being released, forming a materialized phenomenon.”
Adam pointed out the core incisively.
“The end of destruction is rebirth, and the end of rebirth is destruction again. As long as you don’t give up, the cycle will only become more intense each time.”
“Can you give an example?”
“Of course.” Adam looked at Su Mo deeply, and once again felt that the man in front of him was indeed qualitatively different from those before.
When ordinary people touch upon the ultimate secret of such a disaster, how could they be as calm as he is now.
“You can imagine it as the beginning of the birth of the Giant Mountain Star Region.”
Adam waved his hand at the void, and a red ping-pong ball appeared between the two of them, spinning slightly.
“The current position of the ball is the origin of all things.”
“And what supports it is the new life.” As
the voice fell, a slingshot appeared behind the ping-pong ball.
Adam stepped forward and held the ping-pong ball into the slingshot. As he gently pulled, the ball flew straight up. After
flying for less than one meter, it had a tendency to stop falling under the influence of gravity.
“See, the current point is the limit of the new life that can be reached this time.”
“The power of destruction has been superimposed to the limit, and the new life given at the beginning is not enough to continue to go up.”
After Adam finished speaking, the ball began to fall and landed right in the center of the slingshot.
When it was ejected again, the ball came to a place about ten centimeters higher than before due to the influence of gravitational potential energy, and was stopped in the air by Adam.
“This is a complete cycle from rebirth to destruction, and then from destruction to rebirth.”
“If you still think it’s abstract, then I can give you an example that is easier to understand.”
Adam thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: “Let’s use your territory as an example.”
“Tianyuan Territory started to develop from a state of poverty and took the route of science and technology. You have quickly acquired a lot of things in just two years, and the level of some aspects is even the same as before the time travel. But at this time, if you want to go one step further, do you think it will be easy without any special circumstances?”
“It’s very difficult, very difficult.” Su Mo didn’t say it stubbornly. He thought that the system should be counted as a so-called special situation.
“If it weren’t for your appearance, then in my opinion, the progress of Tianyuan this time, although it can be regarded as the development speed of the first echelon, the ending will definitely be the fall.”
Adam waved his hand, and scenes of illusions began to appear in the void.
The surging sea water, the rolling magma, the overwhelming meteors, Tianyuan did not develop enough power to compete with it, and was destroyed in the disaster.
However, before the destruction, countless data and technologies were rescued, and they were buried underground and preserved in the same form as Sudben’s group.
“The disaster is over, and a new cycle begins. Here comes another Tianyuan territory.”
“Fortunately, they dug out the data you left behind from the ground. They stood on the shoulders of giants.”
Adam smiled, and the picture was still playing quickly.
The humans who dug out the data were ecstatic, and soon developed rapidly with the help of the remaining technology and materials.
As Adam said, standing on the shoulders of giants, Tianyuan 2.0 took less than half the time to reach the same height as 1.0, and launched an impact on the higher unknown.
They bounced up again like a falling ball and came to a higher position. All kinds of technologies have made breakthrough progress.
However, compared with the monstrous disaster, the development of these technologies is still too slow.
The destruction came as expected, and Tianyuan 2.0 still did not have enough resistance, so another batch of more advanced data was left underground in the same way, waiting for future generations to dig.
“Time and again, generation after generation. From the third, fourth, and fifth generations
to the destruction, more and more advanced technologies are accumulated underground, and the destination that the next generation can reach after digging it out and absorbing it is getting farther and farther away.”
“I roughly understand, but why do I encounter destruction every time?” Su Mo’s expression was a little solemn. He felt that he was now very close to the real secret of the wasteland.
“Isn’t this simple?” Adam couldn’t help but sneer.
“Take your Tianyuan territory as an example. How much air and land has been polluted by the development of your heavy factories? Does your energy come out of thin air? Doesn’t it cost anything to obtain these things, and won’t the cost lead to even more terrifying destruction?”
“You also know that there are only a few creatures in the universe, or only humans, who choose to develop technology. Technology does allow ordinary people to obtain extreme power in the simplest way, but the impact it brings is far more serious than other power systems, and will cause the destruction to come earlier and more violently.” “Think about
it, the alien cultivation system is also extracting energy, but their system is destined to produce only a few winners in the end. Everyone else will be eliminated in the process and then return the absorbed power to delay the final destruction.” “But
technology is completely different. With each new development, the height that can be reached will become more and more terrifying. At that time, maybe just an ordinary person will have the same level of power as the top alien beings, just like the small ball in front of us now. If too much power is attached to it, it will appear…”
Adam said, and the red ping-pong ball emitted a red light and suddenly fell down violently.
The speed was so fierce and the force was so great that the slingshot’s convergence point was completely unable to support this force and it broke apart directly.
The ping-pong ball then hit the ground heavily and turned into a pool of scattered powder.
“This is the end.”
Looking at the powder, Su Mo suddenly felt a creepy feeling.
If we really enter the interstellar era, if humans really have enough space-based weapons to destroy planets.
Then, if an ordinary person has such power, isn’t it the situation in front of us?
It only takes a total war, and all progress and development will be reset to zero, and there will be no chance of rebirth.
“So, in this case, destruction is the appearance of disaster, which is actually another type of reminder and self-help?”
“You can say that, but that is under normal circumstances, and it is completely inappropriate now.”
Adam suddenly laughed, looked up at the foggy sky, and his expression was a little playful: “Watch out, there are many ways to play this mode, and he is a master at playing this game.”
After speaking, Adam snapped his fingers, and the small ball that turned into powder on the ground returned to the air as if it was rewound.
This time it was still hit with the same force, but Adam upgraded the material of the slingshot from wood to alloy.
The material of the bandages also changed, perfectly supporting the force and bouncing the ball high.
“This is the essence of the various magical rewards in the game. What you get for completing the task will invisibly strengthen the foundation of supporting the destruction, which can ensure that you can rebound more times, the supporting force will be stronger, and the destination you can reach will be farther.”
“Similarly.”
When the ball fell, Adam reached out his hand from behind and hit it again, and the ball’s speed visibly increased.
“This is a punishment disaster. It is both a test and a reward. It can support you to reach the destination naturally and go further.”
The ball flew up again, and Adam pushed it in the process: “This is a reward disaster. It allows you to bounce higher, but sometimes this reward is not a good thing. For example,
the ball was boosted during the bounce process and accidentally deviated from the original track, causing it to fall to the ground instead of falling into the slingshot.
The broken pieces printed a clown’s smiling face, which made people feel creepy.
“Now, you should understand the real source of the disaster and what its essence is.”
