Breaking the ‘cycle’ seemed to be the purpose of the Strange Cycle’ technology. It was also a gift from the ‘Ring of Time.’
As for the concept of ‘cycle,’ Li Wenyuan had already started to understand it when he learned that there was still the existence of the The last era.’
Was the universe in a cycle’?
That was a famous ’universe’s ending hypothesis,’ not only in the Milky Way but also in the current ’Spiral Galaxy Alpha’ and ‘Cradle’ galaxy.
That was a question that would definitely be discussed in the development of Cosmology. What would the final outcome of the universe be?
The ‘Big Bang theory’ was already a widely accepted theory. After civilization developed to a certain extent, the observation of the universe would make them more inclined to that theory.
Since the universe had an origin, it would definitely have an ending.
In the consideration of the ‘universe’s ending,’ the cycle’ was an imaginary ending.
That theory believed that the universe started from the Big Bang s singular point’ and would eventually return to that singular point.
The universe was expanding because of the initial explosion, but there was a limit to the speed of that expansion. When there was enough matter in the universe, and the gravity generated was strong enough, it would stop the universe from expanding and pull it inward. It would eventually form a singular point with infinite density and temperature.
Without considering the aftermath of the shrinkage, that theory was also known as the Big Collapse,’ which pointed to the conclusion that the universe would eventually collapse due to its own gravity and destroy everything.’
However, if one considered what happened after the shrinkage, then the singular point could be seen as the beginning of the birth of a new universe. Therefore, the universe would repeat the cycle of Big Bang, Big Collapse, Big Bang.’ That was also the source of the ‘Cycle Theory.’
After Li Wenyuan learned that there was still the existence of the last era,’ he increasingly felt that that was the experience of the universe.
“The nature of the universe born in each cycle is different, and the civilizations formed are also different. It s very normal for the lifeforms of the previous universe to be unaccustomed to the current universe.”
“If the ‘Cycle Theory’ is confirmed, then no matter how ridiculously developed a civilization is, as long as it does not surpass the universe, it will eventually die in regret in the ‘Big Collapse.1 It is also then reasonable for the civilizations of the last era to try to leave their legacy in the ‘archive’ as they were unwilling to be destroyed.”
“…If that were the case, is the ’Strange Cycle’ meant to break this cycle ? But… those civilizations could find ways to leave their traces, and even a civilization like the ‘Firechasers’ had found a way to survive the ’Big Collapse.’ Why would they not do so? Did they predict this ending? Or perhaps was there still a previous era before them,’ and the universe had already ’cycled’ many times?”
Li Wenyuan had many questions about the last era’ and the ’Big Collapse,” but after that, he quickly threw them away because the premise of the ‘cycle’ was based on the “Big Collapse1 theory.
However, according to the observations of the universe, not only the vast majority of interstellar civilizations but even Li Wenyuan himself had to admit that the universe was actually accelerating its expansion, and the Big Collapse” seemed unlikely to happen.
Even some native civilizations that had just ended the Industrial Age and entered the Mechanical Era could discover the fact that the universe’s expansion was accelerating’ with the wisdom and observation of their scientists.
If the “Big Collapse’ theory was true, then the universe’s expansion should be decelerating. So, Li Wenyuan also doubted the accuracy of rhe ‘Cycle Theory.”
He was even considering that the ‘Strange Cycle’ was not the cycle of the universe but something else.
However, the ‘infinite Divine Armaments’ continued to speak at that moment.
[Hello, hello. Do you have any more questions? We’ll tell you everything we know.]
[We’ve been completing our mission all this time. We thought we’d succeeded, but in fact, this Black Hole isn’t our goal. It’s too late now.]
[In order to maintain the anti-gravitational system, we have abandoned most of our mass outside the horizon. Perhaps by now, they have already become a mass of energy that has been expelled by the Black Hole. ]
[We don’t know how much time has passed in the outside world. Perhaps if we stay here for a second, tens of billions of years will have passed in the outside world. This is something that will cause our processor to collapse. This universe may not have a ‘heat death,’ but we must complete our mission before the “Big Collapse’ happens.]
[We will try our best to satisfy your request so that we can gradually establish a kind image in your mind and ask you for your kind assistance. ]
[Right now, our contribution still hasn’t reached the minimum requirement in our calculations. This makes us uneasy. Do you still have any questions?]
The ‘Infinite Divine Armaments’ was acting rather cute at that moment. Just as some theories had agreed, robots would not lie or hide anything. Everything about them would be transparent and displayed on their faces. The Infinite Divine Armaments’ straightforwardly revealed their purpose.
Naturally, Li Wenyuan had no intention of harming life, even if the other party was a machine. What surprised him was that the Infinite Divine Armaments’ seemed to think that the universe’s ending was the Big Collapse,’ which was inconsistent with the current observation results and mainstream theories.
He didn’t think that that kind of cutting-edge mechanical intelligence wouldn’t notice the phenomenon of ‘the universe s expansion accelerating.’ The only possibility was that it knew some secrets and had already predicted the universe’s ending in advance, even if the ending was inconsistent with the current mainstream.
So he asked about the Big Collapse.1
[The ‘Big Collapse’ is inevitable. This is the cycle that is going on here. This is what our Creator said. ]
[Of course, we have also noticed that the universe’s expansion is accelerating. The increasing redshift of distant celestial bodies has proved this fact.]
[Under normal circumstances, the universe’s ending can be the Big Rend,’ or the heat death, or the cold death, but it will not be the Big Collapse.’]
[But in fact, the premise of all this is maintaining a natural, unchanging state.’I
[External interference will cause the universe to end in the opposite direction. This is what our Creator has learned through continuous exploration. ]
[They believe that even if the current universe is expanding faster, it is absolutely impossible for this universe to continue expanding endlessly. It will enter the ‘Big Collapse’ one day in the future and carry out an endless ‘cycle.’]
I And in order to find the variable’ that determines this outcome, our Creator created us to help them calculate this problem.]
[The final answer will definitely surprise you. 1 only took on the task of calculation. The result is told to us by our Creator.]
[What determines whether this universe will move towards the ‘Big Collapse’ is the total number of lifeforms..]
