Sky Dome Train, Science Cabin, the members of Infinity gathered quietly, listening to Lin Xian recount the two civilization simulations he had just seen. Everyone had different expressions, their eyes on Lin Xian.

"It sounds like a game calculated through artificial intelligence," KIKI, still in shorts and pajamas, arrived hurriedly, arms crossed, floating in the air, frowning, "The key is, what does it represent?"

"Could it be trying to tell us that human civilization will ultimately lead to destruction?" Ning Jing looked around at everyone.

"Absolutely impossible," Brother Huo said confidently from a corner.

"Heh," Qian Deli sighed, holding a small fan, "So what, they want to crush our confidence with such means? Is the Foundation too bored or is it the Dark Civilization that’s bored?"

Chen Sixuan leaned against the table, deep in thought, "Lin Xian has already experienced the game of civilization simulation twice, but the final results were both human extinction. Hua Xiaoling told Lin Xian that through this game he would gain a new understanding of the Dark Civilization and Star Abyss. I’m thinking, is there some information hidden in it?"

"There must be."

Luo Yang nodded seriously, "Didn’t Brother Lin just say that this thing brings a completely different dimension of holographic experience, indicating it’s not human technology but from another civilization, there’s definitely more information in it."

"Isn’t it simple, Brother Lin is a Mechanical Superpower User, just scan it," Sha Sha said.

Lin Xian shook his head, weighing the silver metal ball in his hand, "This thing is covered by a force similar to a Taboo Item, I can’t scan or dismantle it."

Monica spoke from the back of the crowd, "Why is it that after Civilization No. 1 comes No. 807, did we miss something in between, or are the civilizations in between failed simulations with no reference value?"

"Like?"

"Like the dinosaur era," Monica shrugged.

"Dinosaurs... how does that relate?" Lv Chang asked, puzzled.

"She means the butterfly effect on civilization development," Ding Junyi, who had been quietly busy, put down her task, turned around with hands in pockets, and explained,

"From the Triassic to human evolution, over millions of years, a meteor crisis, a century of torrential rain, an ice age, or seemingly minute changes in the universe, could all lead to the extinction of human civilization before it even begins. Strictly speaking, a civilization must have many favorable factors combined to appear." She looked at Viola, "If the Intelligent Brain were to calculate this, with the same initial conditions, too many variables would lead to possibilities diverging exponentially, so choosing effective references for demonstration seems reasonable."

[I agree with this conclusion.] Viola’s calm voice sounded. She addressed Lin Xian, [This civilization simulation calculates humanity up to 700 years later, and the computational power growth rate initially calculated exceeds 10^{6700}, and this conclusion considers the non-linear complexity growth so it’s not accurate.]

"Then a conclusion can be drawn." Lin Xian placed the silver metal ball on the lab table, everyone’s eyes simultaneously fell on it.

"This thing indeed comes from an extraterrestrial civilization, since Hua Xiaoling gave it, it’s likely representing the Dark Civilization."

With those words, the atmosphere suddenly tightened.

Chen Sixuan spoke with a complex expression, breaking the silence, "The Dark Civilization truly possesses extremely high intelligence, then our actions in Dawn City..."

"We can’t rush to conclusions," Lin Xian interrupted her, "Chu Yan and I clearly connected to the consciousness of Dark Creatures, and we, including the Phoenix Society, have made such judgments. Such high intelligence and advanced technology are all based on our understanding, so let’s not think the Dark Civilization is omnipotent yet."

Qian Deli shrugged, "If they were that powerful, they wouldn’t have sent people from Holy City and Holy Revelation to assassinate you. I think, until the tide recedes, everything is unknown."

"That’s right," KIKI looked at Lin Xian, then nodded towards the metal ball on the table, "Since it’s not dangerous and can enhance your superpower, try it a few more times, maybe the problem is actually simple rather than us guessing blindly here."

Lin Xian nodded, "I think so too."

"The Foundation is watching us, should we set off once it’s daylight?" Chen Sixuan said cautiously.

"No rush," Lin Xian looked at the metal ball on the table, his eyes flickering, "It’s not the first time we’ve dealt with the Foundation, Hua Xiaoling must want to convey some message through me and the Phoenix Society, or else they would’ve acted by now."

He looked around at everyone, sharing his thoughts, "It’s rare to have a chance to rest. We’re not being chased by Star Abyss Polar Night or marked by Dark Mark now. Once we reach South America, there will be endless troubles. The major transfer at Dawn Center is being hunted by various Star Abysses, and we ultimately need to escape to the Pole. We might as well rest and improve here, our equipment, Taboo Items, and other things need refining and adaptation."

Upon hearing this, Sha Sha immediately nodded like a woodpecker, her eyes bright, "I agree! I agree! My Flying Peach isn’t fully modified yet, and there are many places on this island that haven’t been scavenged. Since our big ship can carry all that, let’s not waste it."
