Xiaotang said: "This problem can also be solved logically. Every time the boat board is changed, the ship of Thesius changes. The so-called 'original ship of Thesius', the concept has been changed once. The ship board has been changed many times. The concept has changed many times. Compared with the ship of Thesius, which has been replaced by all the boat boards, ignores countless changes in the concept. This is a logical trick to replace the concept."

Xia Ming was thinking about the brain: "After Qian Yan has a core will, no matter how she changes, she has always been Qian Yan. As for us, brain cells are constantly being replaced, unless it is like a head change surgery, which allows the brain to have an overall state change. No matter how it changes, we are still the same. If we regard the brain as the ship of Twosus, is the 'motion state' just a brain cell or a thinking carried by brain cells?"

"I think it's thinking," Lilo replied: "Because 'original self' refers to the brain and self-consciousness, which is different from the Ship of Thessius. The concept of 'self' includes both material and consciousness, which is a special case."

Xiaotang's thinking is also diverging: "If consciousness is also material, this is not an exception. You see, the basis for Qianyan's intelligence is the neural quantum effect, which is material, although her intelligence is still simulated. If human intelligence is seen from a higher level or higher dimension, isn't it equivalent to a existence like Qianyan?"

"Wow, are you also a multivariantist?" Liluo's words brought Lin Cheng with him, and Lin Cheng's multivariantism is tied to science fiction novels. The French sisters are also very skilled in harming people.

"Multidimensional cosmology, thank you", Xiaotang made a correction with a light wind and clouds.

It was already late at night, and in the institute's apartment building, newcomers who were "springboard" projects still couldn't fall asleep.

That's right, the code name of the action given by Xia Ming to the Zhishenxing exploration plan is the "springboard". Some newcomers understand it as Xia Ming regards this action as a springboard for entering the aerospace field, Lou Xinghai and Dongfang Sheng are the springboard for using Van Private MR to get black energy technology. Is Xia Ming's original meaning... it is literal.

The apartment building where the springboard project team lives is the best in the research institute. Everyone has a delicate unit 2. If there is family, they will live in a three-bedroom apartment. The decoration, facilities and services are comparable to the five-star hotel. Each floor of the apartment building also has a public living room, a bar and a tea room for rest and communication. At this time, Dongfang Sheng and a few newcomers were chatting in the small bar. The Russian scientist Vasily, who was as strong as a bear, was also smiling and making soy sauce.

The little fat man Dongfang Sheng is very good at setting the rhythm and always dominating the topic. Seeing that Vasily had not spoken, he spoke to him: "Vasily, what do you think of the bubble universe? I think only the bubble universe is the perfect hypothesis for a unified chord theory! But I have different views on some details, dark matter and dark energy. The dimension must be increased to observe and contact, but how does this dimension increase? It is just a mathematical scale? This does not conform to physical phenomena!"

"So I think that high dimensions are also in the physical sense, so what kind of existence does it exist? Yes, this is the bubble universe. The bubble universe is intertwined and overlapped, and it is not one plus one. It may be the superposition of multiple cosmic bubbles, which forms a high-dimensional space. Superposition is not the scale of three-dimensional space. With the dimension of time, superposition is actually ubiquitous. It is just that in places with gravity, superposition does not exist or is very weak and has thin gravity, there may be obvious superposition."

"This hypothesis fully supports the hypothesis of cosmic inflation, celestial redshift, vacuum zero point energy, and even supports another way of superluminal navigation, that is, to rise to high-dimensional space and then descend to our current low-dimensional universe bubble..."

Our industry is Dongfang Sheng of electromagnetic physics. Speaking of cosmic physics, it is really a set of things. Vasily smiled honestly and said: "It sounds like the overlap theory proposed by Richard Holman on the bubble universe hypothesis ten years ago."

Dongfang Sheng froze on his face, and Vasily said again: "But the idea of ​​traveling through different dimensions to achieve super-light speed navigation is quite interesting."

The smile spread on the fat man's face again, but it was half open, and was frozen by Vasily's words: "How should we enter the high-dimensional space?"

"Black hole! Only black holes!" Dongfang Sheng's eyes turned and pulled up the most popular mysterious thing in cosmology to fill the pit.

After looking at the Russian scientist who looked like a bear, Dongfang Sheng was unhappy and could only hold it in his stomach. He asked unwillingly: "Vasily, tell me. Why did Xiaoxia choose Zhishenxing?"

No one understood that Xia Ming really wanted to make a big splash. There was no need to take such a big adventure, and there was no need to impact black technology with no hope. He could go to the moon and other things to take on aerospace technology with lower requirements, but he could better show computing, which is the direction of ei's advantages.

Vasily said: "The asteroid belt is the catalyst for Earth civilization, and I guess Xiaoxia wants to prove this."

"Oh?" Not to mention Dongfang Sheng, no one else had heard of this statement. They all pricked up their ears curiously and listened to Vasily's explanation.

"It is not the habitable zone plus Earth-like planets that evolve intelligent life. Asteroid zone plus Jupiter and Earth are the conditions for the Earth to evolve intelligent life, and not one less is enough. This is the hypothesis proposed by Sagan and Martin seven years ago, and many people have agreed to it now."

"Juste is like a goalkeeper. Its huge gravity will attract comets flying into the solar system to it. Without Jupiter as a shield for the Earth, every few hundred or thousands of years, the Earth will face a disaster of the scale of extinction of dinosaurs. In that case, the Earth will never be able to evolve intelligent life."

"The meaning of the asteroid belt is more important. Meteorites stripped from it will bring water to the earth and synthesize organic matter through impact. You should know that the origin of life on Earth is the water brought by meteorites and organic matter synthesized by meteorites hitting the earth."

"But the relationship between Jupiter and asteroid is also very subtle. If Jupiter is too far away from the asteroid belt, its gravity will not be enough to restrain the asteroid belt, keep them in the right position, bringing water and synthetic organic matter to the earth. If it is too close, it will turn the asteroid belt into a meteorite season that frequently bombards the earth."

"Of course, the Earth needs to be in the right position between Jupiter and the asteroid belt..."

Vasily's commentary shocked Dongfang Sheng and others, and their hearts were filled with the feeling of "It's so lucky that humans were born on Earth."

"Isn't it a coincidence?" Vasily obviously understood everyone's feelings.

"You see, first of all, the earth must be located in a very suitable orbit, and secondly, outside it, there must be a large enough planet to act as its shield to block the comets that rush around after the formation of galaxies. Then, there is an asteroid belt in the right position, constantly and gently hitting the earth, bringing matter that can synthesize life to the earth, and the positions of the large planets and the asteroid belt must also be just right..."

When Vasily said this, Dongfang Sheng said with half shock and half thought: "No matter how coincidental it is, it cannot be so coincidental! Moreover, how was the asteroid belt formed?"

"Yes, how did the asteroid belt form? Some people say that God broke a planet and asked it to be responsible for catalyzing life on Earth." Vasily also had a graceful thought.

"So, after I heard this plan, I bought a plane ticket that day and flew from Moscow to Yandu. I believe Xiao Xia wanted to go to the asteroid belt like me to solve this mystery. See if we humans are the products of countless coincidences in the universe or were carefully designed by an unknown existence."

"I was an atheist, but now my worldview is a little unstable..." Dongfang Sheng muttered.
