Chapter 1164: Void

When the binary number of n was released to 2.2 trillion digits after the decimal point, the huge data was read by the decoder, and finally there was a hint.
As Lu Zhou guessed, sending these mathematical formulas to the civilization of the earth has seen the civilization of the earth for a long time, and has already understood the means of information exchange on the earth.
And it is shocking that all this huge information is compressed in this irrational number of less than one byte.
Surprised at how they sent this irrational number to the earth, Lu Zhou actually wanted to know how they used a number to release such a huge amount of information ...
Underground Laboratory of Jinling Advanced Institute.
Lying flat on the bed, she wore the latest holographic helmet.
Although very worried about the safety of this data, Xiao Ai complied with Lu Zhou's order and started the program.
Soon, a white space came.
A world no different from system space was presented to Lu Zhou.
However, unlike the system space, the familiar holographic panel is not located in this system space, but a man ... probably based on himself.
However, although it is a "replica" based on itself, if you look closely, both the facial features and some details have been adjusted to a certain extent.
It is said that human beings are more likely to feel good about individuals who look like themselves, and instinctively repel non-twins who look exactly like themselves.
I don't know if it was for this reason that he chose to meet with himself in this form. Lu Zhou was not a psychologist, and he could not analyze the heart of this messenger who appeared to be from a higher civilization.
The only thing he could judge was that at least this contact was not hostile.
"How did you do that?"
Looking at the man standing in front of him, Lu Zhou said quickly, "Stuffing huge data into an irrational number ... No, before you tell me, how do you create irrational numbers at will?"
This statement seems to be a bit of a mouthful, but Lu Zhou believes he must be able to understand his confusion.
Representing a particular irrational number with the concept of abstract numbers is not only a matter of mathematical problems, but has risen to the point where people doubt whether it can be done.
Facing Lu Zhou's question, the man showed a somewhat nerve-wracking expression, and spoke softly.
"... In ancient memories, we used to be as ignorant as you. At that time, the real numbers we encountered were basically rational numbers, but in the countless centuries that followed, we gradually discovered that almost all real numbers were irrational. "
Lu Zhou: "... We also know this."
Looking at the expression on the landing boat's face, a stun suddenly appeared on the man's face, and he continued.
"Please don't get me wrong. Ignorance is not a derogatory term in our civilization. It is even an enviable quality. Because only ignorant people will be curious, and curiosity is the vitality of civilization. Once curious is lost Even if your civilization is omnipotent and omnipotent, it will die out with the passage of time ... Of course, you are too young to be at a stage where a number of new problems will be born when you solve one problem, and you may not even imagine that. Feeling overwhelmed by endless emptiness. "
Lu Zhou: "Although the all-knowledge in your mouth is enviable, I ... probably understand what you want to express."
Poets often compare themselves to either or birds. Knowing more doesn't necessarily mean happier. In fact, most troubles are caused by knowing.
This is true for individuals.
The same is true for civilization.
"Yes, I like you very much," it seems that he read the thoughts in Lu Zhou's heart, and the man's face showed approval, "I have seen two commendable qualities in your body."
Lu Zhou thought for a while.
"... is self-aware?"
"It's three now. You're smart."
The man smiled and continued, "But I'm afraid I can't answer your two questions. This involves the truth of the universe ... which is what you call knowledge. The information about this part is not included in this paragraph. In the program, we hope that you can find the answer yourself. "
"Of course, if we could meet, I would be willing to talk to you personally about those interesting things, but this may not be a good thing for you."
Lu Zhou: "..."
This feeling of looking at and praising cleverness like a gorilla in a zoo, Lu Zhou didn't know whether he should be happy or angry at this time.
Of course, maybe it's more powerless.
Thinking of this "person" in front of him may be stronger than the combined forces of the earth's armed forces. Lu Zhou felt that even for the sake of others, it was better to be a little more stable at this time.
At least, so far, he has come into contact with himself in good faith.
Lu Zhou: "May I ask a question?"
"Just ask."
"your name."
The man pondered for a moment and said.
"This question is a bit complicated, even more complicated than the first one ... We have long ago abandoned the communication methods that rely on media, including limbs, audio, electromagnetic waves, and even gravitational waves, and we are no longer there Distinguish each other with the dispensable name ... Of course, if it's for convenience, you can also call me an observer, and in your dictionary, I like the word the most. "
Really strange aesthetics.
However, the name is just a code name, and Lu Zhou did not entangle more on this insignificant issue and continued to ask.
"What is the void? What is the natural disaster? And the singular drop--" Thinking of what the observer said earlier, Lu Zhou was silent for half a second and changed his voice. You should always tell me the problem. "
The man nodded smiling.
That expression of your "really clever" reappeared on his face.
As if he were reading a poem, he spoke in a humble, unhurried voice.
"Void is void. Everything about it is a mystery even to us who walk into it. It is independent of the universe. If your interpretation is that the universe consists of n trembling strings, then it Is the n + 1th string other than the n string, an extra dimension other than the n dimension. It is a wall on the wall, it is the lake in the reflection of the lake, it contains all the energy and matter in this universe, however Nothing else. "
This time, Lu Zhou finally realized that other people's feelings when he heard the report.
Combined with M theory, he barely understood what kind of concept the void described by this observer was, but he still did not understand how civilization could exist in such a space.
And even if there is civilization, how does it communicate with this universe?
"As for the natural disaster ..." A faint sorrow appeared in the observer's eyes, and he was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "It's too early for you."
Lu Zhou: "I don't understand ... if, according to you, the void is an extra dimension other than the N dimension, then everything about it should be independent of the N dimension. In that case, how do you contact Got me? And how did it affect those ... who dream of you. "
There was a hint of approval in his eyes, the man said with a smile.
"I love you more and more. Most people will panic when they see me, or they stubbornly think that I'm talking nonsense. Only you try to communicate with me with rational thinking ... although I feel you may not Believe me, but at least you are willing to assume that all this is true. "
Lu Zhou did not speak, but waited for him to continue.
After a pause, the man who claimed to be the observer continued.
"When the old universe went out, we made some preparations. You can understand that we built dams when the flood came. Because these preparations allow us to interfere with the civilizations that have a connection with us to a limited extent ... The bond between us is very weak, there are too many mysterious energies for you to interfere with this connection, and even a few individuals are difficult to persuade their fellow citizens even if they realize our existence, It ’s harder to convince yourself. "
"So every once in a while, we will try to release some necessary signals to accelerate your civilization process to a certain extent. You can call it the Enlightenment. Of course, this way of simmering seedlings is not without harm, like supernova In the same way, inflation is going to die, so we are doing this as if we were on the ice. Let you grow as much as possible without overdrawing the potential of the future. "
Lu Zhou: "... seems you have poured a lot of resources on me?"
The observer smiled kindly.
"Yeah, so if you don't see these things, we may lose a lot. But this probability is very small. Even if there are omissions in our calculations, subsequent plans can cover these omissions."
Lu Zhou wasn't sure whether what he called "these things" refers to Professor Grothendieck's notes or the "system" he owns. But in fact, it is true. I did receive a lot of guidance before finally coming here.
It's just that he still doesn't understand some things.
That's why they do it.
In other words, even if you let a group of ants know that the flood is coming, what can they expect to do?
Not that he was arrogant, but just that in terms of mathematics, physics, and informatics, he really didn't have the courage to compare the earth civilization with the void civilization behind the observer in front of him.
If they ca n’t even resist the creation of singular drops, what good is it to tell these things about the earth civilization that has taken the trouble to build a hydrogen bomb?
"... isn't it better to tell us about the crisis if you really plan to solve it?"
As if looking at his own child, the observer suddenly smiled, speaking softly.
"Is that so?"
"All our decisions are the experience of hundreds of millions of failures and the conclusions of trillions of calculations. It may not be understandable from your perspective, but in fact this It's the best option. "
"We must make sure that every grit in the hourglass falls exactly in the bottle, and when the final moment comes, let everything go in the right direction ... Of course, although that is the case, we are not without mistakes Too. "
"Remember the story of the Gala Empire?"
Lu Zhou did not speak, but just nodded.
"I'm glad you remember, so that our topic can continue," the observer nodded with a smile, paused for a moment, and continued, "Two hundred years after the 'sacred event', this long-established civilization, then At an incredible speed, it turned into the dust of the universe and disappeared into this world. "
really……
It seems his guess is right.
Jialan civilization has become history ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and even very likely, from the "old universe" in the observer's mouth. In that case, that memory may be something before the "Big Bang."
Because he was too surprised, it took Luzhou two seconds to digest the shock in his heart, and he took a deep breath and said.
"... is it because of 'natural disaster'?"
"Natural disaster? Natural disaster is not such a weak thing. On the contrary, it is human disaster."
It seemed to read the surprise on Lu Zhou's face, and the man continued.
"The events of the Jialan Empire were beyond our expectations. We never thought that they were not destroyed by the natural disaster that swept the universe, but by themselves."
"Fortunately, this memory has been preserved and it has given us a lot of inspiration."
Lu Zhou: "Memory? What memory?"
"Your questions are a bit, but so far, except for the first one that was beyond my expectations, everything seems to be within the expected range."
"As for your curious memory, it is naturally a follow-up to the previous one-that is, the lower half of 'b', about fifty years later."
The man smiled and stretched his right hand forward, holding up a square cone made of light blue light particles.
"It should be almost there."
"If you received that quantum computer, the decoding should be here."
Lu Zhou was about to ask, "what" means here, and the white awns around it cracked backward like shards. The pale blue vertebral body, like a black hole, distorts the surrounding space and releases countless transparent fragments, flying towards the butterfly to the surrounding corners.
Although he didn't know what happened, Lu Zhou's heart told him.
This should be the world depicted in Void Memory b2!
The story has begun ...
