What was the inside of a black hole like?

It was a fascinating question.

Scientists in astrophysics and theoretical physics, popular science scholars, science fiction creators, and countless astronomy enthusiasts... no one knew how many people had been deeply curious about this question, offering their own scientific or romantic conjectures.

But before this, all conjectures had remained nothing more than conjectures.

At most, computers could simulate a short sequence of footage, yet limited by the upper bounds of computing power, the final result was never quite perfect.

But now, a supermassive black hole simulated by the Photon Topology Server—visible to the naked eye and even "within reach"—had appeared right before everyone's eyes.

How could it not set people's hearts racing?

Not just players, online spectators, and astronomy enthusiasts watching for the spectacle—even renowned astrophysics scholars had turned their attention toward it.

They could hardly wait to enter the dream and experience it in person.

But when they truly arrived at the district that had been reduced to ruins, they discovered that a long line had already formed before this tiny black hole, which had no gravity and was just over two meters in diameter.

The players eager to throw their lives away had not only packed the streets; they had even made use of the space above the black hole, jumping into it from the sky one after another.

The scholars were somewhat helpless, but they had no choice but to join the line.

While waiting, they spotted a player squad carrying a cigar-shaped device four meters long and one and a half meters wide as they queued.

What stunned them was that the rusty, crude-looking craft was fitted with no fewer than six small jet engines!

Looking closer, they realized the thing had actually been converted from a submarine!
