Chapter 650: The significance of cooperation
Omega's projection flickered slightly, as if he was thinking about how to answer this slightly sensitive question.
Finally, it spoke:
"Mr. Li Yang, you raised a very critical question."
"Frankly, our combat prowess...is difficult to describe in simple words."
"Technically speaking, we do have technology that is far beyond what you are currently capable of."
"Our quantum computing capabilities allow us to simulate and predict events on a cosmic scale, and our energy control technology can manipulate the energy of entire star systems."
"However," Omega continued, with a hint of helplessness in his voice,
"We are dealing with an Annihilator, a being we do not yet fully understand."
"It seems to be able to ignore the laws of physics we know and can easily travel through different universes."
"We've tried to fight it alone, and the results...were not ideal."
"We lost several edge galaxies and almost couldn't save the main galaxy."
Li Yang frowned and said, "It sounds like even an advanced civilization like yours cannot effectively fight against the Annihilators?"
Omega's projection nodded slightly: "Yeah, that's why we are eager to seek cooperation."
"Similar to your thoughts, we believe that only by combining the power of the universe and civilization can we find a way to fight against the Annihilators."
"Our creators have been conducting various simulations and calculations in the virtual world, trying to find out the weaknesses of [Annihilator]."
"But this is not enough... We need more data, more perspectives."
"That's why we proposed the idea of exchanging consciousness between the two parties."
"We hope to experience your world firsthand, understand your way of thinking, and see if we can get new inspiration from it."
Li Yang pondered for a moment, and then said: "I understand. I can see your honesty."
"But," he continued, his eyes sharpening, "I have one more question."
"If we accept your offer and let some people into your virtual world...can you keep them safe?"
Omega's projection flickered, as if he was seriously considering this issue: "Mr. Li Yang, I understand your concerns."
"I can assure you that your personnel will be protected at the highest level in our virtual world."
"Their consciousness will be preserved intact and will not be damaged in any way."
"And," Omega added, "if at any time they feel unwell or want to leave, we send them back immediately, and the process is completely reversible."
Li Yang nodded, then turned to look at the others: "What about you? What do you think?"
Bai Zhi from [Mirror World] was the first to speak:
"Risks often come with opportunities..."
"If we can understand their technology, especially their quantum computing capabilities, it will be a huge help in our fight against [Annihilators]."
Jiang Xiaoxiao껩 in a nearby world expressed his opinion:
"From my experience in their world, they don't seem to have any malicious intent. But we still need to be vigilant."
After listening to everyone's opinions, Li Yang took a deep breath, and then said to Omega: "Okay, we accept your proposal."
"But," he added, "we need some conditions."
"First of all, the personnel we want to send must be voluntary."
"Secondly, we need a reliable communication channel that can keep in touch with people entering the virtual world at any time."
Omega's projection looked relieved: "We fully accept these conditions. We will start preparations immediately."
"At this time," Omega continued, "we will select some consciousnesses to enter your world. We hope to learn your coping methods and perhaps find new ideas to fight against [Annihilators]."
Li Yang nodded and said, "Okay, we will prepare suitable carriers for them."
Just then, the alarm sounded again. A technician reported in panic: "Lord Li Yang, the attack range of [Annihilator] is expanding! We have detected that at least three adjacent universes are under attack!"
Li Yang's expression instantly became serious: "It seems we don't have much time."
Omega nodded: "Understood. We will complete the preparations as soon as possible."
"Time in the real world has basically no meaning to the data world."
"So please don't worry...we will have plenty of time."
Li Yang looked around and looked at the researchers who took the initiative to stand up and contribute:
"Everyone, you are about to embark on an unprecedented journey."
"This is not only for myself, but also for the future of this universe."
"No matter what lies ahead for us, we must face it bravely..."
"Because now, you may be blocking [Annihilator]'s last hope."
"I will be watching at this moment, holding my position, and waiting for your return."
As Li Yang finished speaking, a solemn and tense atmosphere enveloped the entire command center.
The eyes of those researchers who voluntarily went to the virtual world shone with determination and a little uneasiness, but more importantly, they had curiosity about the unknown and a desire to explore.
After all, for people like them... if they hear the truth in the morning, they will die in the evening.
Omega's projection flickered slightly, and then said: "We are ready, please follow me."
A soft light enveloped the volunteers, and their figures gradually became blurred.
The last thing Li Yang saw was their firm and slightly nervous eyes.
When the light faded, a few familiar faces appeared in the command center, replaced by human-shaped outlines formed by several light spots.
These outlines slowly solidified, and finally formed a body that looked no different from ordinary people.
"Welcome to the material world," Li Yang said with a smile, "I hope you can adapt to everything here as soon as possible."
One of the consciousnesses that had just formed a human form said: "Thank you for agreeing to this cooperation request."
"This feeling... is really wonderful."
"To be honest, we haven't experienced the feeling of having a physical body for a long time."
All of a sudden, the communications officer rushed over:
"Master Li Yang, we have successfully contacted the researchers who entered the virtual world."
"They said everything is fine and they are adapting to the environment over there."
Li Yang nodded: "Very good, keep the communication open. If there is any abnormality, report it immediately."
Turning his head to look at the consciousnesses from the virtual world, Li Yang continued: "Now, we need your help. The attack range of [Annihilator] is expanding, and we must find a way to fight it as soon as possible."
A consciousness stepped forward: "We understand."
"In our virtual world, we have conducted countless simulations, but we have never been able to find the weakness of [Annihilator]. Perhaps, combined with your perspective and experience, we can make new breakthroughs."
