It's a puzzling but fascinating conjecture: if there is such a thing, it actually exists somewhere, but you and everyone you know have never known anything related to such a thing.
Intelligence, you don’t know what it looks like, its origin, its location, or even whether it exists. No one has even told you that such a thing exists somewhere in the world.
At the same time, such a thing will not have any impact on you. Whether it is born, evolves, or dies, it will not create any information intersection with you.
So, does such a thing really exist for you?
When something like this disappears for some reason, does it really happen to you?
This is the situation. Many worlds should have been discovered, but in the end no one found these worlds. They were unknown to you from the beginning of their birth, and they did not leave any clues after their demise. You can't find them anyway.
The evidence that this world once existed and was destroyed can only be guessed from some statistical numbers and experience. Oh, there should be something here, but now they are all gone - even its end is only
A conclusion can be drawn through extrapolation, but it is a conclusion that can never be proven or falsified by visual inspection.
This is what happened when the Cataclysm of the Void happened.
"I'm afraid the specific point in time can never be confirmed, because you can't be sure when something that only existed statistically will die - if you determine this point in time, the thing will not die, because you
We already know that it exists, and in the great cataclysm of the void, none of the discovered worlds perished," Chen Xiaoxue said. "After realizing that there are no more undiscovered new worlds in the void, my second uncle felt that the situation
Something was wrong, so I guessed that the essence of the Void Cataclysm should be a major reshuffle with exemption rules. The exempted worlds have a common feature, that is, they can be paired with void creatures - as long as they are paired with each other, for example, an imperial soldier once
If you have been to this world, then this world is equivalent to having a connection with you, dad. Even if your subjective consciousness does not understand this world, it can survive the void cataclysm, and those who have no connection with the void creatures at all
The worlds were ruthlessly deleted, but there is no definite evidence for this process. After all, apart from statistical rules, there is no evidence to prove that those worlds really existed."
"What happened next further supports this inference: after working for a continuous period of time, the investigators sent by the three of you began to discover the first strange new world, but this new world was just born, and its age is short enough to be ignored.
Regardless, after that, everything seemed to be on the right track again, and new worlds were constantly being discovered. Of course, the speed could not keep up with that before the catastrophe, and those new worlds all had one thing in common, that is, they were young: they were all born recently."
"The ownerless worlds of the older generation were all cleared instantly, and then the void began to store new data like a formatted database." Sandora looked into my eyes, "Some worlds survived the formatting simply because
It's because you can have even the slightest relationship with the void creatures. This kind of thing is really scary even for the Xiling Apostle. Ah Jun, your understanding of the void should be the most intuitive. Do you think the void will have this kind of thing?
Do you have...this tendency?"
Sandora tried to find a suitable word to describe the nature of the void cataclysm, but in a broad sense the void was impersonal, so in the end she could only use the slightly anthropomorphic word "tendency".
"I'm really not sure," I smiled bitterly and rubbed my forehead, "I do have a sense of the void, but how can I say..."
"Creatures trapped in the two-dimensional world can never understand what height is," Sandora said incisively. "No matter how much we imagine, we can't understand how your body feels in the state of a void creature. Neither do you."
Can't tell clearly."
"That's it."
"Well, now we only need to know that the void cataclysm will definitely happen, but no one can directly see this process," Sandora began to gather the known information bit by bit, "Chen Xiaoxue——
Now based on the truth and accuracy of your words, when did the void cataclysm occur?"
"An uncertain time," Chen Xiaoxue spread her hands and lay on the table, "Okay, let me explain myself first, otherwise you will always think of me as someone who has traveled from the future - strictly speaking
Speaking of which, the Chen Xiaoxue in front of you actually does not exist. The real location I am in is at a certain point in time after the Void Cataclysm, but that point in time has not yet begun. In other words, what you see in front of you is just
A phantom piled up by possibilities, similar to a cluster of information projected to the present at a certain moment in the future. From your perspective, you can even pretend that I don’t exist: just like a conjecture, before there is definite evidence, please
Treat me as a guess. Now let me pause for a while and let you figure it out."
I feel like even if she paused, I wouldn't understand much - it's much more complicated than a monkey riding up a tree and a monkey under the tree.
However, as a prophet, Lin Xue often dealt with this kind of logical problem, and now she understood: "In other words, you are equivalent to the probe that Chen Xiaoxue in the future puts at this point in time, but this probe theoretically has no
Entity, you are a set of information."
"The probe's statement is quite accurate, but the more accurate term is 'inevitability that has not yet happened'," the other party nodded with a smile, "The void cataclysm may start in ten years, or it may start in a billion years, no matter when,
It happened, then I would be born in the fifth year after the catastrophe. However, in the current timeline, this matter is just an 'inevitable event' rather than a 'real event'. Information determines everything. When all established information is
After the restrictions are in place and all interference factors are fully calculated, even things that have not happened can still have practical significance. This is the origin of the virtual projection named 'Chen Xiaoxue' in front of you. I am not the real Chen Xiaoxue, but apart from this concept
Apart from that, everything about me is completely equivalent to the real Chen Xiaoxue. This process is a bit long to explain, so I’ll briefly explain it: The Void Catastrophe affected everything at the same time. It can be said that at that point in time, all the information in the entire Void
It has become a harmonious state like never before. In this harmonious state, all the information forms a formula. I am not the only direct descendant of the void creature. After that, my second uncle also had his own real direct descendant (the current two
A little princess of the protoss was born from the sword of the father god), we descendants call ourselves the 'answer to the void', and the collection of all the information in the entire void before the cataclysm is called 'calculus'. My other name
It is an 'eternal being', which means that, as an answer, I exist in the calculation formulas of all worlds - ah, I finally remembered what words are most suitable to describe it. Dad, Mom, what you are seeing now is not really from the future.
The daughter who has traveled through time is a mathematical conclusion that has been completed, a factor that is equal to the body but is equivalent to two independent factors..."
I continued to rack my brains, and then tentatively asked for a long time: "For example, in a classical mathematical environment, one plus one equals two, the Void Cataclysm resets all information, forming a system where all intelligence has been
Temporarily archived 'coordination moment', in this environment, two 'one's' and a 'plus sign' have been determined, then even if no one has pressed the 'equal sign' key, 'two' has become an established fact.
Even if it hasn't appeared yet - Lin Xue and I are the 'equal sign' button, and you are the 'two' who is still doomed even if you are not born?"
"That's probably the case, but I need to make a correction: The Cataclysm of the Void is the 'equal sign', and you and my mother are the hand that presses the equal sign key." Chen Xiaoxue looked at this side with a smile, "Also, can you not
Do you think I am the 'two'? The real Chen Xiaoxue is the 'two', I am 'equal to two', I am on the left side of this equation."
Everyone: "..."
"Just like what dad said, if you understand it from your current point in time, I am such an existence," Chen Xiaoxue made a concluding speech, "At your point in time, I have not been born yet, but my birth has already become a
There is a trend that will appear 100%. At some point in the future, the real 'Chen Xiaoxue' will have his own life experience, but that life experience will not affect the timeline around you now. This is because only in
At the moment of the void cataclysm, my life will truly begin. Before that moment, what you have in front of you is just a calculation conclusion that has not yet been written on paper. A mere answer rather than a complete formula will not be correct for the entire
The mathematical system has any impact—oh, are you confused?"
I feel like everyone is dizzy at this moment. Only Shandora can still think. She looked at my cheap daughter: "In other words, you are just the expected answer calculated in advance by this formula. The real calculation has not started yet.
, your existence is based on theory. Until the void cataclysm actually occurs, you cannot affect anything. Everything you do will be corrected on a macro scale - because your calculation has not yet been unfolded.
?”
"That's it, so don't expect to get the future direction or final result from me. I don't know, and what I know may not necessarily happen. After all, a calculation has more than one writing method, vertical and horizontal.
There are two historical trends, but the final answer is the same. In this regard, I, the little half of the future, don't know as much as my mother. So what, let's not talk about this topic, my father is about to fall asleep.
"
Everyone: "..."
"Okay, okay, last question:" My sister waved her hand, then looked at the other person with a smile, "Although there is no doubt in theory, I still want to ask, you have to come up with more concrete evidence to prove your identity.
, This can prove all the theories you mentioned, isn’t this too much?”
"I knew you would definitely have to ask this," Chen Xiaoxue immediately showed an expected expression and looked around triumphantly, "This is all top secret information: Qianqian's mother has a small red birthmark on her left chest.
Mom occasionally bites the pillow when she sleeps at night, and will bite my dad in the future. My dad has a black spot on his right side. Ding dong...is your sister also there? You are used to grabbing a piece of thread in my dad's pocket to protect yourself when you sleep.
It fell out, because it is difficult to button the button from the inside, and it is even more troublesome to come out after buttoning it. Also, my second uncle is left-handed. If you don’t believe me, go back to the God Realm and ask... Um, what do you look at me? My dad gave me this when I was a child.
Isn't it too much to take a bath for your own daughter? I can still share this information with my future self."
Lin Xue gritted her molar teeth and said, "Okay, we believe it - now I finally know why I want to beat people up so much!"
I patted Lin Xue's shoulder comfortingly: "Children must be disciplined. How did this girl grow up like this?"
When the eldest lady heard this, her face suddenly turned red. Apparently after being freed from Chen Xiaoxue's theoretical bombardment, she finally realized how exciting this earth-shattering news was: a girl! Although she has not been born yet, she will look like this in the future.
His daughter is standing in front of him so alive! What is this concept for the arrogant and shy eldest lady? Lin Xue, who has always been extremely powerful, is at a loss for the first time this time. Seeing his own mother's face
With such an expression, Chen Xiaoxue seemed to have guessed what the other person was thinking at once, and said with a smile: "Mom, don't be embarrassed, your relationship with dad is so good, right? And you can think this is a good thing."
, at least for now it seems that you don’t have to learn how to breastfeed me... By the way, dad, when are we going home for dinner?"
Lin Xue's face was almost turning purple from suffocation. She suddenly grabbed my arm with such strength that she seemed to be pulling it off: "Wooden wood! Can I strangle it to death and be reborn again?!"
This is absolutely infuriating. A young lady with a normal IQ would not be able to say such bold words. Now she wants to kiss me in an unattended corner.
Chen Xiaoxue (well, maybe now I have the right to call her Xiaoxue) looked hurt: "Mom, don't be like this. In fact, after we have been together for a long time, you will get used to such a smart person.
Now you are a daughter, you see, I am still very obedient most of the time, and like my father, I also know some knowledge about the void. You will definitely use it now. Of course, more importantly, don’t you think I am very cute? With this face, I
But it took a lot of effort to grow up like this. When I was young, I would look for pictures of movie stars when I had nothing to do. I would look in the mirror every morning - eh, they are so cute!"
I:"……"
Regarding Chen Xiaoxue, this strange little girl who doesn’t know how to classify it, Sandora and I finally decided to acquiesce to this fait accompli, because I am afraid that even the most advanced scientists cannot smooth out this girl’s status in different timelines, let alone
Not to mention figuring out the cause-and-effect relationship between her and the Void Cataclysm, I just pretended that there was a strange daughter in my family. Anyway, I am used to similar things. Of course, I still have to get to know her when I have time in the future.
Those things that I don’t know. Now that the fleet has embarked on its journey home, it won’t take much time to get back to the shadow space. The only troublesome problem is how to deal with the thousands of abyssal warships that are coming. According to Xiaoxue
, they are all "gifts for dad", and now this gift makes me feel very hot.
There are more than 300 abyssal battleships including the Eternity class and motherships and aircraft carriers of the same class. The total number of medium-sized main battleships such as the Expeditionary class is five to six thousand. The remaining support battleships and special service ships number around two thousand. As for those that have been collected,
Individual fighters, assault ships, and small spacecraft such as frigates in the mothership Gnaku are not included. These warships add up to a large group of troops. Such a large number of abyssal spaceships have to be docked in the shadow space.
This was an unprecedented event, and along with this fleet came hundreds of thousands of fallen apostle warriors and countless war puppets: all covered in black smoke.
I think if they landed on the star port carelessly, the scene would be very spectacular. The first unlucky guy to land might be cut into four or five hundred pieces by Vega before Sandora and I could react, and then a small piece of it would be dipped every day.
Eat with helium three times...
We have informed the headquarters of what happened here. Of course, the officers of the Shadow Fortress will not have any objections to the emperor's decision, but they also pointed out that it is inappropriate to allow the fallen apostle army to land in the capital, which will cause panic among others.
, although there are currently two or three fallen apostles in the empire, three people and three hundred thousand people are not the same concept. In the end, Sandora and I temporarily decided to let these fallen apostles land in the shadow space, but stationed there
The earth is far away from the mother star and the shadow city. There are some planet fortresses being assembled on the edge of the shadow space near the boundary of the void realm. These huge planets can be used directly as colonial stars before being equipped with weapons. The "rebel fleet" of the fallen apostle
Just park there for now.
Chen Xiaoxue didn't stop talking all the way, and she was happily introducing her heroic experience to us (actually it should be the heroic experience of the real Chen Xiaoxue in the future, but she and the original have a projection relationship, so it doesn't make sense to say so)
Wrong), and the question that everyone is concerned about: How did she appear in front of us in a 'projection'-like state from the future.
"At some point in the future, I am a researcher, and I am particularly interested in the history before the Void Cataclysm, so I talked to Chen Xiaoqian - yes, dad, that's the extent of your naming skills. That's your level.
With Qianqian's mother's daughter, who is one year younger than me, Chen Xiaoqian and I are studying how to go back to before the catastrophe. If the catastrophe is regarded as the equal part of a formula, then the children of me and other void creatures
They are all the results on one side of the equal sign. The other side of the equal sign corresponds to our calculation formula. Because of the irreversibility of the catastrophe, if the result goes directly to the opposite side of the equal sign, the formula will collapse. In other words, we cannot let
My own body passed through the void cataclysm. My sister has a broad mind. She said that since the things on both sides of the equal sign cannot be interchanged at will, then one side should be deformed, just like 'two plus two' and 'two times two'.
Taking two' as a concept, the vertical and horizontal forms can produce the same result. Decimal points and fractions can be used to represent non-integers. By changing the formula form on one side of the equal sign, it can be integrated from a bunch of scattered data.
It's something extremely similar to the answer - but we can't adjust the formula ourselves, so we have to borrow someone else's hand. We need a group of useful fools to perform a series of very complicated operations in order for them to stupidly 'induced' me.
come out……"
This should be shocking enough news, at least Shandora's expression changed drastically in front of this news.
In other words... the two children in the future designed a huge trap just to satisfy their curiosity. Those fallen apostles were just their tools. The fallen apostles invested a lot of money in the "void creature duplication"
"Plan" was a scam from the beginning, just to allow Chen Xiaoxue's projection to be born before the void cataclysm!
