Regarding the "eternal world", it is really shocking. It turns out to be a... real world with plural dimensions!
Its level of abstraction cannot be directly understood in Yifeng's head.
If dimensions are simply defined by "1 dimension", "2 dimensions", and "3 dimensions", it is too simple and crude, and is not conducive to scientific research.
For example: How many dimensions does a coastline have? Is it 1-dimensional? But it seems that it can only be placed in a two-dimensional space, and it seems to be slightly more than one dimension.
How should the dimensions of an infinitely derived Corker curve be defined?
On the one hand, the length of the Corker curve is infinite, but its area is limited. It is certainly possible to simply summarize this curve into "2 dimensions", but it is too simple and crude, and there is no way to conduct better research.
Therefore, smart mathematicians have long developed more complex dimensional mathematics to accurately calculate more complex dimensions. Using the "Hausdorff dimension", it can be calculated that the Coker curve is 1.26-dimensional.
This kind of "dimension" with a decimal point cannot be intuitively imagined by ordinary people's minds, and can only be briefly described by mathematics.
But this definition is quite useful. It jumps out of the traditional barriers of one-dimensional lines, two-dimensional surfaces, three-dimensional solids and even four-dimensional space-time, and is closer to the description of the real attributes and states of complex systems, and is in line with the diversity and complexity of objective things.
sex.
The "eternal world", if defined according to a certain mathematical dimension of Hicks civilization, is a world with "plural" dimensions.
Complex dimensions are really... unimaginable.
"You can go to the new world or the old world to experience it. I can't tell you exactly what it will be like." This 005 said embarrassedly, maybe because of her own setting, she has a very good temper.
Yu Yifeng even wanted to use "Perfect Su" to kidnap her.
However, when they later heard her say, "The contract stipulates that she will continue to serve here for ten thousand years," everyone could only give up the idea temporarily.
While leaving, several experts who are proficient in mathematics were discussing it thoughtfully.
They found that the new humans' dimensional mathematics was still not enough to discover this strange space.
"When it comes to higher latitudes and multiverses, we really don't understand anything." Yu Yifeng let out a long sigh.
The whole process was like entering a legendary mythical world, which greatly subverted people's perceptions. This group of new human elites completely turned into stupid country bumpkins.
Perhaps, every interstellar civilization that comes to Hicks Market for the first time will have such a strange mentality.
"More advanced civilizations are really powerful..."
Yu Yifeng shook his head and temporarily threw these incomprehensible things behind his mind. He did not forget the main task this time.
Although 005 showed enough goodwill, they still did not entrust their transportation tasks directly to this artificial intelligence, so they still had to be careful.
"We should look for other interstellar civilizations to verify again, and do some transactions along the way."
With this in mind, the entire diplomatic team wanted to visit the planet where technology was traded.
The 44 resident civilizations on this planet are too powerful for new humans, and the things in their hands cannot be sold for very good prices except for being "perfect".
"If we can find an interstellar civilization with similar strength, it would be the best choice to communicate with each other." Dr. Rimbaud recovered from his trance and said.
"Yes, L2 and L3 technologies are also suitable for us, and we welcome all comers. There are too many shortcomings in our technological line... Very cheap technologies may also be useful."
As they discussed like this, the spacecraft slowly took off, carrying everyone to another planet that shone with green light.
Yu Yifeng looked out the window. The entire trading market was like an artistic image, with colorful "rainbows" connecting all the planets to each other. The background of the entire starry sky turned an elegant purple-red.
Beautiful and touching.
He suddenly had a strange thought: "Could it be that all the actions are just random actions of high-level civilizations, and they do it just to have more fun..."
Before leaving, 005 also gave them a "Hicks Market Trading Guide". It was not electronic data, but an exquisite plastic product.
After boarding the spaceship, everyone couldn't wait to look through it.
This information is very beautiful and exquisite. It looks like the kind of art that has been preserved for a long time but is quite intact. People can't help but love it.
At a glance, you can tell that this civilization has a strong scientific foundation and cultural connotation.
Thousands of years ago, the Hicks civilization was already a level six civilization. Even now, although they still claim to be a level six civilization, no one knows what it is like.
This information introduces in great detail the role of each planet, the art and culture of the Hicks civilization, and the origin of this market.
One page reads: "...the formation of the No. 11 trading market originated from the wonderful thoughts of a low-level civilized individual."
"While we were observing this indigenous planet, we discovered this most interesting piece of art."
…
One day, a painter named Gandola was looking up at the starry sky on his lawn. Such a beautiful night scene can only be seen in rural fields and places without much artificial light.
Their civilization already has the most rudimentary technology, life is changing rapidly, and every day is a better era.
But Gandola was disgusted with artificial light sources and pictures taken by satellites. He believed that this kind of reality destroyed the previous imagination and made art succumb to the prison of reality.
Gandora fell asleep on the grass. He had a dream. The entire starry sky was so vast and beautiful. Why did the planetary system have to be flat?
Why can't it be colorful and colorful... like a satellite?
Why limit yourself to gravity?
"This artist is dreaming, using his superb skills to depict the imaginary starry sky. Although from a physical point of view, such a structure is full of loopholes, and even planets will collide due to gravitational disorder..."
"But we are still shocked by this fantastic idea."
After Gandora completed this painting, he was brought to his museum by the Hicks civilization.
After visiting all the collections, he trembled and asked: God, is such wonderful art common in the universe?
The sphere representing the Hicks civilization trembled slightly: "Ah, not many. We travel through the Virgo Super Galaxy Cluster, with a vertical and horizontal distance of 200 million light years, and have observed countless civilizations. Art is universal and common.
, especially the various arts related to the starry sky, almost every civilization has related creations."
"But most art is cumbersome and has no meaning..."
"Even many interstellar civilizations don't dare to think about it. They are unwilling to think about it. On the contrary, ignorant low-level civilizations are more willing to fantasize and create art with rich sensory levels and branches of meaning."
Gandora remained silent and presented his picture, "God, it is an honor to let it lie in the sacred museum."
"No, not just a museum, make it happen! Be part of the galaxy!"
As a result, there is this complex and exquisite trading market...
Although it seems that it needs to consume its own energy all the time to maintain a delicate balance, from a functional point of view, it is very uneconomical...
"Art... what is art?" Yu Yifeng frowned, with a variety of thoughts. The new human civilization has not yet had so much time to think about such elegant things.
He just lamented the Hicks civilization... this powerful force that reaches for the stars and the moon.
"Why did the Hicks civilization do this?" After thinking about it, the most likely reason is because it is fun, or... simply likes to create miracles.
There are ten pieces of information at the back, representing the ten markets in the galaxy, all constructed based on the random art of low-level civilizations.
There is an Earth-like planet as big as the sun, forming a binary star system with the surrounding stars. I don’t know how it is done...
There is a magical Dyson ball...
There is also a market that even uses large and small planets strung together like a string of pearls!
The ignorant low-level civilization uses its own fantasy to build a beautiful starry sky. The Hicks civilization uses its infinite power to build what the low-level civilization fantasizes about.
These artists all lived until that day.
They saw the distant depths of the starry sky, witnessed their fantasy become reality, trembled and cheered... Witnessing this great miracle, they sighed and shed tears, unable to describe their shocking mood.
“What does Hicks Civilization want to express?”
After reading this information, people were amazed and confused at the same time. This kind of cool and unrestrained mentality of the entire universe really makes the new human civilization...envious.
"Unfortunately, all members of this civilization have disappeared, disappearing into the mysterious center of the Milky Way..."
After flipping through various information, Yu Yifeng let out a long sigh.
Especially the last paragraph made everyone almost crazy.
Before the disappearance of the Hicks civilization, it seemed that it had been well prepared, and even this trading market was not needed, because there was text at the end that directly said: "Artificial intelligence life Quinton 005, every one million years of service, will obtain the entire
10% ownership of the market!”
Facing this kind of inhumane big dog owner, Yu Yifeng's world view almost collapsed.
In ten million years, this stupid "005" will be able to obtain the entire trading market, including the white dwarf battle star plus more than 400 planets?!
Well, ten million years is indeed a long time, and people seize the day... But why is the gap between civilizations so big?
