Chapter 280 Another chance
"You said I can't see the singularity, so I can't see the singularity? I've seen it before, but I just forgot."
World Index nodded, and then shook his head. The head that he didn't know how to place slowly hung down, accompanied by a low and sad voice. That was not the voice used by World Index before, but a recording of someone else.
.
"Those who want to explore the Singularity, please listen to my advice: don't know what the Singularity is, and don't know what you are traveling through, which will make the people who travel through it survive. No living thing has a brain capacity larger than that of the entire universe.
, so no one can bear the cognition of crossing the singularity while awake. Regarding the record of the singularity, we have used half the power of the universe, hoping to record even the slightest bit. But... don't read it, unless you can complete the world warehouse.
With training, there might be a chance."
After the sound was played, Alex asked who said this. World Index told him that this passage came from Team Leader Ma of the Singularity Tunnel Shield Machine Research and Manufacturing Group. He compared this passage with other information about the shield machine.
The knowledge is placed in the world warehouse and handed over to the world index for encryption. If the person querying this part of the equipment information does not have the elemental body, it will not be triggered at all.
Alex can hear this, indicating that he already has the authority to access this part of the data. The World Warehouse creates a curtain and projector in the virtual space, and the data is played to Alex in the form of a movie.
He saw the last humans of the Earth and Ring Alliance, who looked just like the ordinary humans in his memory. It seemed that evolution had terminated. The World Index told Alex that natural evolution could no longer keep up with the development speed of human technology, leading to the
The use of technology has replaced natural evolution. The evolution plug-in for composite evolutionary humans has also existed and developed, but was later replaced by more natural technology. At the end of the last cosmic era, the appearance of native humans became popular again in the Earth Environmental Alliance
, so I feel like nothing has changed.
The Singularity ranks among the top three most important discoveries in the last cosmic century, and is often ranked first. It provides a new perspective for humans to further understand the universe and coexist with the universe. At that time, all cosmic civilizations will study the Singularity.
As the top priority, everyone worked together on research and development at the beginning, each showed his or her own talents, and got some information, but most of them failed.
"They sent out detectors and exploration personnel just like us, but none of them survived, and almost no data was transmitted back. Even the Z-worm, the most survivable creature, will lose its vitality due to passing through the singularity. But
The Z-worm can play a protective role at least, and can send no more than 1,731 grams of non-intelligent devices to the opposite side. It can stay on the opposite side of the singularity for 81 seconds, and then will be sent back."
"Our research has found that the singularity has the following characteristics: any running electronic equipment will be completely destroyed; creatures with basic observation and thinking will die; the only timekeeping device that can be used is a hydrogen atomic clock."
Subsequently, the researchers sent out artificial intelligence. Due to the limit of 1,731 grams, the artificial intelligence could not do much. It could only confirm that the opposite side of the singularity was the next generation of the universe. They could see brand-new stars and knew that they were on a small planet.
The planet is rotating around a super pulsar. In the vacuum environment outside the exit of the singularity, there is a platinum plate with a line of writing on it.
"Wait, that line of writing contains the names of all the members of the Second Exploration Team? My name is also in it?" Alex jumped up from the sofa.
World Index paused the movie, tilted his head and said to Alex: "This is also the first time I know this news. This video has been in an encrypted and compressed state, and I did not trigger it. I didn't know that the content inside would be like this. All the time
Since then, every civilization in the universe has been very clear that the pioneers of the earth have the right to explore and occupy first, and it turns out that it is because of this."
"No, this is wrong!" Alex suddenly slapped the sofa and said: "I knew before that the time flow on both sides of the singularity is different. The earlier you traveled in the previous generation, the later it will be in this generation.
Appeared. After I appeared in this universe generation, I could have that metal plate with my name, and its time would be earlier than that on the earth. In other words, after I disappeared, the earth would not be able to see the metal plate, so there would be no
Maybe they knew I was still alive, and they wouldn't have sent out a rescue team...wait, what's going on?"
He fell back on the sofa, his mind buzzing, and the vortex formed by the logic of time seemed to swallow up his common sense. World Index tilted its head and looked at Alex. Since it was not an artificial intelligence, it had no thirst for knowledge or curiosity.
The heart will only act according to orders, but Alex did not order it to deal with the previous problems. Therefore, the world index, which had no burden, patted Alex and asked in a calm tone: "Do you need to rest for a while?
, will you have the opportunity to watch the record again in the future?”
"Keep playing." Alex smiled bitterly and said, "It's just another question. I can live with my questions. Besides, this is the natural state."
The video continued to play, and Team Leader Ma continued to introduce his work. The existence of the metal plate was considered to be evidence of the survival of the exploration team, so the rescue work was put on the agenda. The whole universe rescue is a very huge project, and 1731 grams can only be launched
When a metabody vibration radar comes over, it can detect whether the current universe contains metasomes. After a lot of effort and a definite answer, it can be considered that Zhang Qianli is still alive somewhere in the universe.
"Wrong, all wrong. Time flows in the wrong direction." Alex muttered to himself, holding his head.
The answer given by the detector did not show any trace of the reverse flow of time, and could even be used as evidence to rule out the possibility that time flows in a different direction. Afterwards, the Earth-Surround Alliance gradually launched its research on the singularity and found the origin of the singularity.
The fourth important rule: the observer instillation effect.
"When you are told that this is a singular point, or try to observe the process of crossing the singular point, it will become a low point of information state. You can use a lower energy state to assist understanding. The information of the singular point is relatively higher, and it has a
The trend of flowing to lower places and more stable places. This information is huge. Our analysis believes that half of it is the old world and half is the new world. The two combined are a whole world. No storage device can store an entire world.
world."
This is a theory that sounds a bit idealistic. Alex paused the video, thought about it carefully, and roughly understood the rules. When he entered the singularity as an exploration team, he did not know that it was a journey to a new universe.
The singularity of generations, I guess they don’t want to observe it. Just like a person walks through a door and steps through it, few people would want to take a closer look at the door and understand its structure, materials and manufacturing.
Manufacturer. Because of his ignorance, he passed the singularity alive.
Those devices that want to observe singular points have been destroyed by the flow of information. Information is not a virtual concept, it actually exists in matter. All behaviors of storing information either occupy matter or consume energy. Information
The impact is actually the impact of matter and energy, which is very similar to the mudslide that is very valuable for reading, or the sandstorm full of artistic flavor.
"Ah...I began to understand. Knowledge about high dimensions can only be stored in a high-dimensional material or energy environment. In a flat world, three-dimensional graphics cannot be described correctly. And in the human brain, no matter how imaginative it is,
Even the nerve cell structure of the human brain cannot truly restore four-dimensional objects. No wonder there are only theories in the world warehouse and no engineering and technical information."
The storage of high-dimensional related knowledge was not the content of Team Leader Ma's speech, but his sentence "information is material" made Alex suddenly enlightened. Precisely because information is material, it can be used as a tool and resource.
It is used to fuel productivity. Alex also obtained the fourth dimension through the bridge of the elemental body.
Only after a certain degree can one understand the gravity and spatial characteristics of a high-dimensional environment. His knowledge can be described in the three-dimensional world, but it is difficult to express, let alone teach. He wanted to build a device that reflected his own abilities, but he encountered a problem
There are many obstacles. If there is no elemental body as the medium and the field as the energy, it is impossible to achieve it.
Then looking down, Team Leader Ma talked about the plan to cross the singularity. The more you want to understand the singularity, the easier it is to be destroyed when passing through the singularity. That is the power of the entire universe, as long as the universe can produce it
, everything you own and accumulate is in it, and no one can survive. Therefore, the creatures that pass through the singularity must meet certain conditions, especially those of the rescue team.
They found a suitable candidate: the Great Sage. At that time, the Great Sage had been performing tasks in a closed world and did not know anything about the singularity. The Great Sage did not like the messy "new scientific knowledge", even if it was forced on him,
He would just cover his ears with his hands to show
Expressing disgust. But the Great Sage is very warm-hearted and will not refuse to save people. He will be very focused and will not be distracted at all even if he continues to rescue people for several years or more than ten years. Therefore, he is the least likely to be in time travel.
When looking around, his ability is also strong enough.
"Thank you, Great Sage, and thank you Earth for rescuing me." Alex touched his chest, and his heart felt warm. Although he was a pioneer explorer, he was essentially a human by mistake.
It's just good luck. No matter who comes for research or rescue, he is the real explorer, the one who keeps his head in his belt.
Through gravity and mass compression, the Monkey King was folded to a level of less than 1,731 grams and successfully passed through the singularity. This gave everyone a huge encouragement. However, everyone later discovered that the passing capacity of the singularity had decreased, which proved that it was possible to pass through the singularity.
There is an upper limit to the total material at a point. To put it simply, not all civilizations can pass through the singularity to the next universe generation, and even the Earth and Ring Alliance themselves will be stretched thin with this limited amount.
The struggle has begun. This is a life and death struggle. It is primitive, natural, not social, and there is no morality to talk about. As for the outcome of the struggle, Alex already knows the outcome, and the Earth Environment Alliance is the outcome.
Rather than saying that war promoted technology, it is better to say that fear focused concentration and intelligence, resulting in breakthroughs in theory and technology. The process of becoming an enemy of the entire universe gave the Earth and the Environment Alliance the technological capabilities to become an enemy of the universe, thus giving birth to
The Singularity Point Tunnel Shield Machine was built. It is not used to travel through the Singularity Point, but to record the process of crossing it. It is designed to withstand a strong enough impact, maybe less than one universe, but most of the universe can.
.
Information is matter and energy - I said it before. In order to make this machine run, most of the matter, energy, and space in the last universe generation were used as fuel and stuffed into this machine. If you change the world view,
Then this is a sacrifice.
"The Singularity Point Tunnel Shield is a bad design. Its starting point, design ideas and implementation process all reveal evil. No matter who is watching this documentary now, I should admit: We, the Earth Environment Alliance, are exhausted in advance
The last time, space, matter and energy of the last cosmic generation, just to be able to see the special
Singularity. Therefore, the importance of this data cannot be overstated." Team leader Ma bowed and said: "As its designer, I have a wish: I hope that the research on singularity can produce results.
, people in the future no longer need to repeat the same thing. Okay, now let’s enter the training steps to observe the singularity phenomenon.”
The film ends here. As the projector no longer projects audio and video, World Index's body trembles and squirms into the image of Team Leader Ma. Unlike in the film, Team Leader Ma who becomes World Index is obviously much younger, that is,
He looks like he's in his early forties. He also has thick black hair.
, as well as a thick unibrow, and the expression on the face of the Chinese character is more of perseverance than the vicissitudes that followed. At the same time, except for the red sofa under Alex’s butt, everything around him turned into nothingness again, only
The movie curtain descends and shrinks, eventually becoming a floating whiteboard.
"Is what I have in front of me now the World Index, or the artificial intelligence left by Team Leader Ma?" Alex stood up. This is the most basic respect for the researchers of the Earth Environment Alliance.
"I am still a world index, but I have loaded a boot program. My intelligence level has not improved, and I can still only answer questions according to the database. If you want a better distinction, you can just call me Lao Ma."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Lao Ma's voice was exactly the same as that of Team Leader Ma in the movie. He raised his hand and tapped on the whiteboard, and thousands of words appeared out of thin air, filling four whiteboards at once.
Judging from this action and the final effect, Alex thought he was still standing in front of the World Index.
As soon as he was distracted, all the words on the whiteboard disappeared. Lao Ma looked at Alex with a half-smiling expression, pursed his lips and said nothing.
"This..." Alex scratched his head. How long did those words exist just now? For 2 seconds? Normal people can't finish so many things in this short time. Fortunately, he has an evolution plug-in and a brain-controlled body. This kind of
Level image review and text analysis are just basic functions.
There is no need for him to read it word by word - the brain control body retrieves the image and sends it to the eyes for reading and analysis. It is simply taking off his pants and farting - the brain control body has already completed the analysis, and the results are entered into the brain in the form of short-term memory.
There is still a message from Team Leader Ma on the whiteboard. He probably talked about some situations, including the fact that no one knows the singularity for sure. Everything they have is just theory, including the entire training process, which has not been verified in practice. Considering all aspects,
The amount of information that can be tolerated is a very important indicator, which is very important for the brain.
It has extremely high requirements. Although the electronic system can expand the storage capacity almost infinitely, the situation of the singular point must first be analyzed before the subsequent sampling algorithm, analysis algorithm, and compression algorithm can be considered. There will be many more aspects in this area later.
Information, including danger tips, tutorial control methods...
"First contact." Alex said these four words to Lao Ma. This was also required on the whiteboard and was the password to officially open the next stage. Sure enough, Lao Ma nodded and said: "Posterity, congratulations to you.
The brain meets the entry requirements and we can continue."
Chapter completed!
