After listening to the scientists' cacophony of guesses, the captain furrowed his brows and remained silent.
He found himself still in a mild state of confusion, not much different from Zhang Yuan's original thoughts. If the future of humanity was predetermined and had been written into some universal function, then what was the point of striving?

"You could think of it this way," Zhang Yuan replied, "the Gaia Faction hasn't found the ultimate function of the Universe; they've only found some similar solutions. Theoretically, there should be some minor details different from our actual situation."
"They even believe that the true function solution is unfindable. Because the act of 'searching' can itself cause variations in the universal function. Why not compare the image we just saw with actual surveillance footage to see if there are subtle differences?"
