Chapter 32 Chapter Thirty-One

In the dark storage room, Isaac struggled to grab what was left of him. Beyond the remnants that surrounded him, he could see the glowing forest, the vast expanse of luminous prairie, and the formations in the middle of the prairie emerging from the fractured sandstone and desert bedrock, so beautiful it was unbearable. !Jason.Roden's memory would call this thing a makeshift arch.After dwelling in the cave and sleeping for thousands of years, summon him from the place where the compass points to the westernmost point.Now it broke through the shackles, shook off the dirt on its body, and became extremely large and full of strength.As long as he can pass through these walls, he will go to find it.

Isaac The Martian woman's voice seemed to come from far away.He doesn't care. He could see the makeshift arch, but he could also see other things.It can be seen that it is unfortunate, Diane.Dupree's remains.Dead, but the not-quite-human part of her, the fourth-year part, is still dying, trying to restore her body.Of course, that cannot be done.Her light gradually dimmed, like a candle burned down to a puddle of wax and the last wick.Jason on Isaac.Lawton's part mourns for her. These memories belonging to Jason and Ash, respectively, already have a separate life in Isaac's heart, so vivid that Isaac fears that he will get lost in it.I remember, he would think so, but the memories were endless, and only a small part of them were his own.Even the word me has two or three meanings.I live on Mars, I live on Earth, and I live on Equatorial Africa.All of these words are true.

Nor did he want to completely suppress these competing memories, for while they frightened him they also comforted him.If not Jason and Ash, who would accompany him into the vortex of the temporary arch? Isaac, do you really know what's going on? Yes, he knew, at least partially. Well, at this moment he recognized Su Lianne.Moai's voice, she's Ash's friend, Isaac's friend, please explain to me. These words must come from Jason.Lawton said in his mouth.He turned to Suliane, moved towards her, reached out in the dark and took her hand, as Ash or Isaac would have done, and said in Jason's voice:

This is an embedded loop in the cycles and seasons of hypothetical intelligent beings.Seasons, he felt the word was aptly used: seasons of New Age seasons, ebb and flow of the galactic ocean of life in what you would call a mature solar system, elements of hypothetical intelligent beings multiplying in mass, accumulating Information, replication, until at some critical moment, the oldest surviving specimens would embark on a kind of spore reproduction to produce a reduced version of themselves.These stripped-down versions are much like clouds of dust or ash, and these clouds follow long, elliptical orbits that converge where the orbits meet the planets.

They gather here?Su Lian asked. Here, yes.He said, or so he thought.On this rugged planet, the planet was created to accommodate a civilization that would eventually connect with this planet So do they know us?Su Lian.Moai asked sharply. Isaac was confused by the question, but Jason.Lawton's memory seemed to be very familiar.The web handles information for light years and centuries, however there are biological civilizations that survive long enough to notice it, yes, and these civilizations are useful as well, because they generate new machine life that can be assimilated and understand, or

or be swallowed.Su Lian.Moy said. Or, in a way, swallowed.And these civilizations will produce something else that interests the network. What? ruins.Jason.Roden's memory said they would produce ruins. ☆ Outside, beyond walls of concrete and rubble impenetrable to human sight, the ballet of memory continued at an accelerated pace. What happens here is memory.He told Su Lian.Moai.Ten thousand years of relentless gathering and sharing of knowledge, compressed into those spheres that make up the canopy of a hypothetical forest of intelligent beings, will be revised and transmitted.Pass through the temporary arch which is opening its mouth wide to inhale all knowledge: descriptions of planetary orbits and climate and evolution in the region, descriptions of millions of interwoven orbits of icy satellites from which the machines of hypothetical intelligent beings draw Quality will continue to be learned in the future.There are also descriptions of signals that are received, received, and resent elsewhere in the galaxy

Why memory?Su Lian.Moai pressed.What is the purpose?What is it that Isaac remembers? Though he sees many things, what he remembers is what he cannot see.Even Jason.Lawton could not answer Su Lian.Moeti's question.What happened here is just a trivial thing in the network.Whose idea is this?Oh Diane.Did the thing you wanted to believe so much grow up between the stars? Isaac!can you hear me He fell back into the abyss of his own thoughts. ☆ Because Isaac remembers Jason, Jason remembers Isaac.Jason's knowledge of the grown-up world overlaps with Isaac's sketchy experience, creating a double image that is deeply disturbing.

This double image presents his life like a distorting mirror.For example, Mrs. Rebuka.She is someone close to him and someone he trusts.But when Jason examines the same memory, she becomes cold, distant, and far from a real mother.For Isaac, she is in a realm where she cannot judge.As far as Jason was concerned, she had committed a felony of moral neglect. So is the memory of Dr. Duval.Dr. Duvaly is the cold god who defines Isaac's world, while Jason sees him as a stubborn and delusional monster. Isaac didn't want to hate these people very much, even Jason in his body.Lawton's part also had some sympathy for Mrs. Rebuka.She loves Isaac, although she tries to hide it; and Isaac is also a little bit guilty, he knows how difficult it is to be loved.He returned her with measured indifference.Nor was he smart enough to see her pain and her perseverance.

Now he sees it.She didn't speak for over an hour, and when Isaac came to sit beside her and looked at her with what he was beginning to think was the eyes of a hypothetical intelligent being, he understood why. When the building collapsed in the earthquake, she didn't escape.She was wounded, internally wounded, invisible to the outside, but so badly wounded that not even her fourth year part could mend the damage.She is bleeding internally.There is a red copper-colored blood atmosphere around the whole body.She whispered his name softly.Her voice was no match for the chirping of hypothetical intelligent beings digging through the rubble (which had grown louder over the hours).

I can take you with me.Isaac said. Hearing this, Su Lian.Moy said: What do you mean? Isaac's mother just nodded. Then there was a quick gust of cold air, and the darkness was driven away by the light of the alien forest.
