Chapter 564 The End
"what is that?"
"Something is coming out of Gatanje's body!"
"Be safe! Stay out of the way!"
"Requesting fleet support!"
"Catch it! Don't let it escape!"
"."
The scientists held up their telescopes and nervously watched the changes that occurred in Gatanje, which they had not expected before.
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
The sky suddenly darkened, and the surrounding seabirds flew away in fear.
"What is the reason for the darkness this time?" The scientists frowned, "Did the fleet observe anything?"
It used to be dark because the black mist released by Gatanjie enveloped the earth, but now Gatanjie has sucked all the black mist into his body, and the light seems to have disappeared out of thin air.
"The ambient brightness is still decreasing!"
Darkness fell silently, and the light on the entire sea suddenly became thinner at a speed that ordinary people could detect.
It was clearly twelve o'clock at noon, but the sea was as dark as midnight. The sun in the sky was blurry, like a moon hidden behind thick clouds, and even the light emitted by the anti-gravity engine became faint. .
"It's darkness!" a scientist blurted out.
Just now they were discussing that Gatanjie might be the incarnation of "darkness", but now that such a change has occurred, it is difficult not to remind them of "darkness".
Such a huge momentum was obviously not something that the dying Gatanjie could create.
Is "Darkness" going to abandon Gatanje?
One scientist said enthusiastically: "It wants to get dark, but we want to get bright at night and raise the ambient brightness to a thousand lux!"
Lux is a unit of light intensity, and one thousand lux is equivalent to the brightness outdoors on a sunny day.
[The subspace engine has started]
[Define ambient brightness]
【1000 lux】
Following the instructions of the scientists, the nano-warriors responsible for protecting them used the subspace engine to forcibly define the brightness of the environment.
There is no change process, and the light intensity at sea instantly reaches one thousand lux.
The darkness receded and the entire sea bloomed with light again.
Gatanje's ugly body was exposed to everyone again. The anti-gravity engine had lifted it to an altitude of about 500 meters. Pieces of rotten flesh continued to fall into the sea, causing waves.
"Is 'Dark' still there?" the scientists asked nervously, "Can you find it? It's best to catch it!"
Data shows that "Light" and "Darkness" are both independent individuals with certain intelligence. They at least have the instinct to seek good luck and avoid disaster. At this moment, "Darkness" sees that Gatanjie is going to be doomed, so it is reasonable for "Darkness" to choose to escape alone. matter.
The dilemma facing the coalition government is whether it can grasp it.

[No suspected “dark” targets found]
The nano warrior shook his head: "The subspace engine cannot detect its existence, and we are not sure where it is now."
The scientists looked disappointed.
"Darkness" is an extremely special existence. According to the definition in the data, the darkness in people's hearts is also a part of "darkness".
This obviously involves the level of consciousness.
If "darkness" can be captured and studied, it is likely to greatly promote the development of consciousness.
"An abnormal decrease in light intensity occurred outside the atmosphere!" News suddenly came from the fleet, "Darkness may be here with us, and we are capturing it."
The scientists cheered up again.
They had a glimmer of hope, maybe the fleet could catch "Darkness"?
However, this glimmer of hope was quickly dashed.
The fleet quickly sent another message: "We used all means, but Yami did not stop at all. It easily crossed all obstacles and headed in the direction of Orion."
The scientists looked at each other and could see the regret on each other's faces.
Yami ran away.
But this is also reasonable.
Darkness is most likely a magical thing that exists at the level of consciousness, which can be thought of as illusory thoughts.
Physical obstacles obviously cannot stop an idea.
Some people say that human thoughts are faster than the speed of light. One second you are here, the next second you may be at the edge of the universe.
Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated and unrealistic to a certain extent, it reflects the characteristic of consciousness that is not bound by the material world.
"We have to go to Orion," one scientist muttered.
Diga himself went to Orion, and An also went in the direction of Orion. This should not be a coincidence. Orion will definitely bring them great gains.
At this time, another message came from the fleet: "We launched the forgetting factors into the dark, and it swept away those forgetting factors."
ah? The scientists looked at each other.
The Forgetting Factor is the only consciousness weapon they currently have. It comes from the Andromeda galaxy civilization in the "Transformers" universe. This may be the only thing they can touch the dark.
But what will happen to the dark and forgetful factors?
The information defines darkness very broadly, and human inertia is also a part of darkness.
Scientists couldn't help but feel curious.
Can Darkness assimilate the forgetting factor, or be affected by the forgetting factor and turn into a Darkness who doesn't remember anything?
An didn't know what would happen, but the Trisolarans affected by the forgetting factor had reached their end.
This is a space fleet, its full name is the Rebuilding Home Fleet.
But there are not many Trisolarans left who remember this name, and even they have to forget this name, because there are not many things left for them to forget.
The Trisolarans have stopped operating the fleet because they no longer remember how to operate the fleet.
It’s useless even if I remember.
Because since the head of state forgot the key and discovered that he had also forgotten the backup key, no one could have the slightest influence on the fleet.
The fleet was gliding towards the solar system under the control of preset programs, and would not stop no matter what accidents happened on the way.
Even if you encounter an asteroid belt that will not collide with a little avoidance.
As a result, the fleet that was fully equipped at the time of departure is now less than one-third of its original size.
However, no Trisolaran felt sad about this. The Forgetting Factor rushed to the scene immediately, making the Trisolarans forget how many battleships they originally had, and even forget that they were on a battleship.
who I am?
where am I?
Where am I going?
These three questions are etched into every corridor and wall of every ship in the fleet.
The traces of engraving are very strong.
The people who carved these words wanted to remind them not to forget the most important things, so there was a sentence after these three questions.
If you can’t think of an answer, ask someone else! ! !
Their intentions were good, but there was a situation they didn't anticipate.
That is, other people do not remember the answers to these three questions, and even gradually cannot understand these three questions.
The Trisolaran civilization has reached its end. (End of chapter)
