At the sight of this, the Zeroers fell into profound silence.
Their pursuit spanning hundreds of millions of years, the rise and fall of countless civilizations they had witnessed—all of it was overturned at this moment.
They had once believed that only complete zeroing could bring about so-called peace.
But now, a wholly different answer, a future filled with life and hope, unfolded before them—
"We... have seen it.
The universe you described... a universe filled with meaning."
The Zeroers' voices rang out once more, but this time, there was something more within those words of absolute rationality.
"Then, are you willing to witness it?"
"We are willing."
The Zeroers answered. They wanted to witness an answer completely different from their calculations.
A universe written jointly by life and civilization.
Zhang Qi nodded, then extended his hand again, pouring light into the Zeroers once more.
Within that light, vast amounts of information surged in like a tsunami.
But as a superintelligent collective composed of countless brains, the Zeroers parsed the data within one ten-thousandth of a second.
This was an entirely new technology, concerning spatial leaps, dimensional folding, and methods of energy transmission.
The moment they realized what these things were, the consciousness within the Zeroers' enormous mechanical bodies began to boil.
This was a superluminal driving method different from a curvature engine.
It could establish a transportation network called Star Rails between different civilizations.
Through this network, communication between civilizations would no longer be constrained by the speed of light, nor would the abuse of curvature engines lead to the spread of dead lines.
This was an exceedingly ingenious design, a solution only higher-dimensional lifeforms could propose.
Although it was merely theoretical for now, as long as it could be
