Neil arrived at the laboratory early and stood in front of the huge Observation deck filled with nervousness and anticipation. This machine possessed highly advanced Multiverse observation technology, which for him, was both an opportunity and a huge responsibility.
Before long, the laboratory door opened and Erin walked in. She was dressed in the uniform of The Eye of the Philosopher, looking very professional. It was clear at a glance that Neil was nervous.
"Very good, Neil. This kind of tension is necessary," Erin said in a calm but firm tone. "Being able to feel this kind of emotion proves that you are aware of the magnitude of the technological power you are about to operate. Only by fearing this power can you truly control it, and not be controlled by it. This is also the first step to becoming an excellent observer."
After hearing these words, Neil felt slightly calmer. He looked at Erin and nodded.
"Thank you, Erin. I understand."
Erin smiled and then led him to the control panel. There was a computer and a row of densely packed buttons and knobs.
Erin pointed to a series of buttons and dials on the console, then began to explain: "This is the main control panel of the Observation deck. These buttons and dials control the parameters of observation, including destination, observation time, and observation mode, etc. Although you have already undergone basic training, real observation missions still require more practice and experience."
Neil listened attentively, silently noting down every detail in his mind.
Erin continued, "This time we will conduct a simulated observation, which means you will enter a virtual parallel world. This world does not actually exist, but it will mimic various situations and laws of the real world, providing you with a great opportunity for practice."
Neil nodded in understanding.
"You need to remember that even in the virtual world, ethical norms of observation still apply. You cannot interfere in this world, you can only exist as a pure observer," Erin's tone became serious.
"Understood, Erin," Neil responded.
Erin smiled and then pressed a large green button. The screen on the console began to display data, and Neil felt a dizzying sensation, as if he had been sucked into a whole new dimension.
Neil came to again, only to find himself no longer in the previous world filled with skyscrapers and bustling streets. This time, he arrived in a desolate, barren place. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the land was cracked with countless fissures, as if it had never experienced the prosperity of life.
On Neil's observation screen, the virtual world presented a chilling scene. The ground was a dim gray, crisscrossed with cracks, resembling aged and decaying skin. There were no trees, no vegetation, not even the slightest sign of life.
The sky was a leaden gray, with heavy clouds creating a sense of oppression and suffocation, as if even the sky had been crushed by this desolation. There was no sun, moon, or stars, only a continuous and subdued dim light, as if it were the world's final lament.
The wind blows, carrying a bitter and cold sensation, lifting the dust and debris from the ground, forming small dust whirlwinds. These whirlwinds spin briefly in the air before quickly disappearing, as if this world cannot even sustain the most basic activity.
Some rocks on the surface are covered with cracks and pits, the result of years of weathering and erosion. These rocks seem to reflect the pain and loneliness of this world, silently enduring it all.
Neil woke up again, only to find himself no longer in the world of towering skyscrapers and bustling streets. This time, he arrived in a desolate, barren place. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the land was cracked with countless fissures, as if it had never experienced the prosperity of life.
He took out his notepad and began to record the state of this world. Just when he thought this world might be completely devoid of life, he suddenly noticed some faint movement on the muddy ground.
Neil approached and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a newly born life form. It looked like a seed, struggling to emerge from the soil. However, this life form faced great difficulties as the surrounding land was extremely barren and unable to provide the nutrients it needed.
Neil looked at this life form, feeling conflicted. His training told him that as an observer, he couldn't interfere in this world, even in such a life-or-death situation.
Erin's voice suddenly came through his headphones: "Neil, what do you see?"
Neil responded: "I see a new life form, Erin. But it's struggling, the environment around it cannot support its growth."
" This is an important observation," Erin said. "Remember, we are observers. Our task is to observe and record, not to interfere."
Neil gazed again at the delicate life form. It was like a tiny seed, struggling with its feeble life force to stretch and find a possibility of survival in this barren world. The green shoot at the top of the seed had emerged from the soil, but immediately began to wither due to extreme lack of water and nutrients.
Neil's mood became heavy, and his fingers unconsciously slid across the touch screen of the notepad, recording every subtle change in this life. He felt as if time had slowed down in this moment, with each second feeling like an hour.
Erin's voice sounded again in his headphones: "Neil, you need to stay calm and remember our rules and responsibilities."
"I know, Erin," Neil's voice carried a hint of weakness, "but to see a life disappear in front of me, I don't know how to face it."
"This is also the reality we as observers must face, Neil. Life and death are an inevitable part of this universe," Erin's tone softened but remained firm.
Neil continued to observe, watching as the last bit of life force in that seed disappeared, ultimately shriveling up into a lifeless pile of organic matter. This meant that this world would never have life again, only eternal desolation.
Neil felt a bit dizzy, and he pressed the final button on his notepad, saving all the data from this observation.
"What does this observation ultimately mean?" he asked Erin.
"It means that, despite having advanced observation techniques and rational scientific thinking, we still cannot control or change the laws of nature and the universe," Erin explained. "It's also a reminder that we should not only explore the external world, but also understand and accept our own limitations."
Neil nodded silently, filled with deep contemplation. Once again, he felt himself being drawn back to the observation post of The Eye of the Philosopher, immersed in a larger and more complex cosmic concept both physically and spiritually.
He glanced at Erin and felt a sense of emotion, "This experience has made me understand more clearly the responsibility and challenges of being an observer, Erin."
Erin nodded with a smile, "This is exactly what we are pursuing, Neil. Keep moving forward, your journey has just begun."
Neil took a deep breath and said softly, "I will, Erin."
