Collapse: Nano Brigade Captain's Journey Across the Galaxy

Continued from last time...

[Yuanqi Universe: 25th Year of the Collapse Era]

Today, everyone in the [Knights] put aside their current tasks, because according to the [Engineer's] prediction, today is the day when the Ranger wakes up.

They saw that the ranger's eyelids were trembling, as if they were about to open soon, but... no one knew that the ranger was now in a mysterious white space.

He was about to wake up, but... his consciousness was pulled here. As he was wondering, he found a figure slowly walking out in this white space. He looked closely and saw that it was... Chuanshan... ahem, it was Chen Ye.

The Rangers were very surprised. You know, Chen Ye, the eldest brother of their group of four, had been missing for a long time! During the decades of fighting against [Honkai], they had never given up looking for Brother Chen Ye, but they just couldn't find him.

But… just as the Ranger was about to speak in surprise, he saw the figure opposite him mechanically speaking: "Hello, Ranger Yechen, I am the primary and secondary data synchronization program."

"Uh... what... what do you mean?" The Ranger said tremblingly. He didn't want to admit the fact in front of him (Note: Chen Ye is the best playmate and the most important elder to the three people of Qi, You and Ci in this world), but... the person in front of him spoke again, which completely shattered his fantasy -

"I am the primary and secondary data synchronization program." These words gently broke the ranger's heart, but it was also because of this that he wanted to leave here early. Perhaps... his partners have been waiting for him for a long time.

So, he asked, "So...how do I get out of here?"

"Information: Listen to my report."

"Then tell me quickly."

"Notice: I am the [Secondary] in the [Primary and Secondary Data Synchronization Program]. It has been detected that this world has [crossed the collapse], and the restrictions of the [Tree of Imaginary Numbers] on this world have been lifted. Allow the primary and secondary programs to synchronize data."

"Notice: This program resides in the [Amulet] given by the master, and its main function is to synchronize data. Not long ago, this program has completely received 56,325 years of memory data sent by the master program, and selected the information that is useful to you."

"Um... not buddy! Master Duo? I'm asking you Master Duo?!"

"Tell me, fifty-six thousand three hundred and twenty-five years of memory data."

"You mean... Brother Chen Ye lived for more than 100 years after he disappeared? This... This is impossible! He was missing for less than years!"

"Tell you: Different worlds... the speed of time flows differently. So... do you..."

"No...different world? That makes sense...that makes sense! No wonder...no wonder we searched the entire planet but still found nothing."

"So - do you want to play the memory data that I have simplified now?"

“Play—no—no—don’t—” But… it was too late.

The Ranger could only be prepared to watch a very long movie, but...

“After Lord Chen Ye was forced to leave this world, his memory was sealed. As of the synchronization of the memory data just now, Lord Chen Ye still could not recall any memory about this world.” Moreover, under the narration of the [Primary and Secondary Data Synchronization Program], the relevant memory fragments were also being played synchronously in this white space.

What a mess! This was the only thought in the Ranger's mind at the moment. He thought he was going to watch his eldest brother's memories over the years.

But this is not bad. After all, it is impossible that all of my brother’s memories over the years are related to the world he lives in.

And we also learned that Brother Chen Ye didn't want to leave this world, but was forced to leave.

While the Ranger was thinking about it, the "Primary and Secondary Data Synchronization Program" began the second round of narration: "After tens of thousands of years, Lord Chen Ye officially understood why he traveled through time and space, and deduced that he had been to many worlds."

"It's just that the memory has been completely sealed by the mastermind."

"As for why this world has exploded into a "collapse" that shouldn't have occurred, the reasons are as follows—"

"The big system of the world where Master Chen Ye is located is the "Sea of ​​Trees System", and this system exists in a larger world, and in this larger world, there is more than one "Sea of ​​Trees" system."

"Everyone here wants to be the king, but the strong fight the strong, the middle fight the middle, and the weak fight the weak. The strongest among the weak can move up to the middle class and compete for a higher position."

"The reason why all the major systems are trying so hard to climb up is because the higher the level, the more resources they can have to develop themselves."

"Moreover, the fight between systems is not only about recruiting followers, but also about devouring each other."

"Generally speaking, the devoured system will be completely destroyed and integrated into every part of the devourer's system. After all... the devoured system is external after all. If it is not shattered, it is very likely to affect its own strength."

(For details, please refer to "Sui Yang", whether it is "Liao Yuan" or "Fu (Qin) Yan (Xi)", you can refer to it)

"But... there is one situation where that won't happen. That is - find someone from your world and go to another world. If that world gradually adapts to the person from your world, then when that world devours this world, there will be no rejection reaction."

Hearing this, the Ranger couldn't help but ponder, "That is to say - our universe didn't originally have "collapse", but... because Brother Chen Ye was inexplicably sent here by the system he was in."

"And during that time, we also lost our memories of our original world, which caused our system to be completely swallowed up by his system. Then, they used a test to make us completely integrate into the system and completely eliminate the rejection reaction."

"Am I right? "Primary and Secondary Data Synchronization Program"? Stop pretending to be a robot. I know you have a very high intelligence!"

"Oh? May I ask how you found out?"

"intuition."

"Oh, haha, what a sharp intuition. Lord Chen Ye is right. Your intuition is really sharp."

"No need to flatter me, just tell me who you are."

"Whether you believe it or not, my real name is "Primary and Secondary Data Synchronization Program". Of course, if you want to ask me what the name of the artificial intelligence is, then I will tell you - "Prometheus"."

"Prometheus?"

"Yes, that's the name of my AI."

"Then I will call you this from now on, Prometheus. Do you have any relevant memories?"

"Of course there is. Please watch the VCR——"

After that, the video played the scene where Chen Ye's main personality completely awakened, boarded the "Starry Sky Train", and then arrived at the "Immortal Boat" and learned that he had sealed memories, and then fought against the "Imaginary Number Tree".

He also learned that the "Forest Sea System" was still relatively weak in the world he was in, only in the middle and lower reaches of the weak chickens, but its development potential was huge."

"So, the 'Sea of ​​Trees System' has now devoured a lot of other systems. The reason why it looks weak is actually because it is hiding its strength."

"Then find the right time, make a splash, and reach the top directly! Am I right? Prometheus."

"Completely correct."

"So... this method of suppression is so outrageous, where did the "Sea of ​​Trees System" come from?"

"Because they are fortunate enough to know a great existence! To put it in more understandable terms, it is - beyond the Three Realms, not within the Five Elements, invisible to no one, and invincible to no one."

"Not in the same dimension?"

"Oh, you're right. What I said above cannot fully summarize that great existence. What you said is the most comprehensive. It's not in the same dimension, and the dimension difference is more than a little!"

"So... the suppression method of the [Sea of ​​Trees System] was obtained from that great being? Then... what is the suppression method? Do you know?"

"Haha, the method... then of course it's borrowing people."

"Borrow someone? You mean - Brother Chen Ye originally lived in that great being?"

"Yes, that's the truth."

"Huh..." After hearing this, the Ranger pondered for a long time, then said: "...Have you finished telling me all the relevant information?"

"It's all said. Why?"

"Then can I leave now? I need to inform everyone of this as soon as possible!"

"Go ahead." As soon as he finished speaking, Prometheus' figure disappeared, and where he disappeared, there was a blue vortex door emitting blue light. The ranger chuckled and then walked in.

………………

[Yuanqi Universe: 125th Year of the Collapse Era]

100 years ago, the Ranger told everyone in the Knight's House the truth about why the world was collapsing. After hearing everything, instead of blaming Chen Ye, they were ecstatic when they knew they could still find Chen Ye!

After all... they could sense that Brother Chen Ye's feelings for them were extremely pure from the beginning to the end, without any trace of utilitarianism, and... even if it was mixed with utilitarianism, so what?

People judge deeds instead of hearts, and no one is perfect in the world! But... things are different now. If they knew this in the past, they would definitely go to find Brother Chen Ye at all costs! But now it is different. Now they have a significant influence in the whole world.

And everyone is at the top of society! It's not that they are reluctant to give up their power, but they have to do their job when they are in that position. If they really disappear so irresponsibly, then the new order that has been established with great difficulty will completely collapse!

Moreover, the spaceship built in a hurry will definitely not be any better. They may even not build the spaceship at all and just leave.

Therefore, during these 100 years, in addition to stabilizing order and training successors, they have been trying their best to improve the technological ceiling of the entire civilization and use it to create more advanced spacecraft!

And now, 100 years have passed since the truth was told, and the successor is fully capable of taking office. Moreover, he has both strong character and ability. There is no possibility of him being bewitched, or being killed and replaced.

At least that's the case in the short term. As for the long term... I believe they will have returned by then, and may even be connected to the world where Brother Chen Ye is, so there will be no need to spend so much time looking for Brother Chen Ye.

So, one day in the 125th year of the Collapse Era, they left a letter on the bedside of their respective students, boarded the spaceship, started the curvature engine, and flew to the border of this world.

According to the information provided by Prometheus, as long as you cross the border of the huge ownerless imaginary energy, you can go to the other universe, and according to the "primary and secondary data synchronization program", the connection between the "primary" and the "secondary".

They could easily reach where Big Brother Chen Ye was, but there was a small episode on the way. When they were heading to where Big Brother Chen Ye was, they encountered five planes on the road.

According to the engineers, these five planes can all be transformed. He couldn't help but feel excited and wanted to negotiate with them, so he submitted a request for negotiation.

As for the people over there, we learned from later conversations that they did not bring enough food, so their application was approved. However, we never imagined that they all set out on the journey in search of Chen Ye.

As for how to confirm it? All you need to do is tell me the equipment that Big Brother is wearing. After all... Big Brother, the equipment he is wearing is really outrageous.

Then everyone said in unison - the eldest brother's most commonly used armor is a white-based, blue-supplemented one, called - "Badr".

Moreover, after learning that the Knights had positioning devices, Roy and others were overjoyed, so they all acted together.

Moreover, Logic and his crew not only parked their God of War on the "Knight's House", but also generously lent it to engineers for research. The only requirement was to obtain the consent of the God of War itself.

But... this is not a problem, okay! You know, all the lives that have had intersections with Chen Ye have great faith in Chen Ye's vision. Since Chen Ye will be their teammate, this has proved that their character is absolutely fine.

So, several years passed like this, and the group finally arrived at the "Pinoconi, the Planet of the Event". Although everyone could see at a glance that the defenses of this planet were extremely strict, they were not panicked.

Because according to the system's detection results, the main business of this planet is related to dreams. Hey! Isn't this a coincidence? Their "Knights" and "Federation" are both civilizations that have transcended the collapse.

Therefore, they all lit up the technology tree related to consciousness. If they want to enter the dream world, they just need to have a good sleep.

This is true even for so-called “synesthetic dreams”!
