Hao Ren has made up his mind to find a way to find the location of this world's server in the real world. As long as he finds it, he might be able to figure out what happened ten thousand years ago.
The nodes of all important events in the Dream Plane seem to be at that time point 10,000 years ago. At that time point, the goddess of creation died, triggering a doomsday disaster on a planet. And this civilization seems to have
They are one of the few whose experiences are different from other civilizations.
"Terminal, can you contact the outside? Call the drone swarm or the giant turtle rock platform number." Hao Ren still has the professionalism of a prosecutor. He does not stick to the world view of this world, but tries to use his own unique power.
, to solve this seemingly incredible problem.
Although the data terminal appeared directly in his consciousness this time, it still had various abilities. At this moment, it began to send positioning signals to the outside world. However, a moment later, the data terminal shouted: "How is this possible? Data transmission
I went out, but I didn’t get any response. I can guarantee that the positioning signal was sent out smoothly.”
Hao Ren knocked on his head and said, "Is it because your current form of existence is different from before, so there was some misjudgment? Maybe your signal was not sent at all."
"No, no, no, the signal is definitely sent out. But the outside world has no equipment to receive the signal at all. The world is like a non-existent drone swarm. Logically speaking, this should not be done. You have already deployed a drone swarm.
It's been a while. Although they are far from enough to cover the entire universe, the sites of the drone swarm are already quite widespread. If my signal is received, feedback will be sent immediately. Not only is this machine unable to find the drone
The signals that the human-machine group tried to send to the real world also failed. This machine suspects that even if the connection is cut off directly, you will most likely not be able to return to the real world."
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Hao Ren's forehead. The biggest confidence he had in this world was that he could log out at any time and return to the real world. However, the data terminal suddenly told him that there was no way to return.
He was panicked.
"What happened? Can't you go back to the real world?" Nolan looked at Hao Ren who was talking to himself in confusion. He sometimes spoke in his own voice, and sometimes in mechanical and electronic voices. The conversation with himself was almost like
It's like schizophrenia.
"It's possible, but it's wrong. You said before that you can disconnect at any time, why can't you do it now?" Hao Ren remembered that he had told the data terminal before that if something unexpected happened, he could disconnect at any time and let him return.
In the real world, why can’t it be disconnected now?
"With your current knowledge base, it is difficult to explain the exact principle to you. You can roughly understand it as the observer effect. Before the box is opened, the state inside is in an uncertain state.
Can I pass your data back to the real world without trying to disconnect? It is also in a state of uncertainty. The connection between two different worlds is so fragile.
In the past, there was no problem in transmitting this kind of information, but not this time."
Hao Ren was confused when he heard this. Although he already had some experience as a prosecutor, he still had a considerable lack of knowledge.
On the contrary, Nolan and Lan Nuo were both thoughtful. Although Nolan didn't know what the connection between different worlds should be, he thought of many physical experiments: "This is indeed very similar to the observer effect. As for the
Why does this phenomenon occur... Although I am not sure, it is possible that your return behavior triggered some kind of paradox. If your attempt to return is successful, a certain rule of the universe will be violated."
After so many reincarnations with the top student next to him, Nolan was forced to become a top student in order to have a common language with this guy next to him, so he gave a pretty reliable guess as soon as he opened his mouth.
Lan Nuo had more information and more experience. Seeing this situation, he nodded thoughtfully: "Your current state does seem to have triggered some kind of paradox. The most likely thing is that
Paradox of time and space.”
As soon as Hao Ren heard about the time and space paradox, he felt that he was too high-spirited. How could he encounter such a thing as a time and space paradox when he was just a local policeman from the Space and Time Administration Bureau?
"Actually, you don't have to worry so much. If you have been in contact with other me, you will realize that different me's arrival time is different, but in fact, our departure time is almost the same, it can even be said that
In no particular order. And our mode of time travel may cause a space-time paradox."
Hao Ren nodded: "I remember one of them, you traveled to Horleta and traveled back to 10,000 years ago, where you became the prophet of the local people and led a group of people to sacrifice their lives to become spirits.
It took tens of thousands of years to occupy the body of a super life form that attempted to destroy the world, but the other you came directly to my house a few months ago. Why do you say that traveling through time in this way will cause a time and space paradox?"
"My traveling through time in this way will not cause a time-space paradox, but if I can pass on what happened in this time and space to me in another time and space, you will be sending the information I saw back to the universe I was in before. Paradox
The discussion arose.
Because the order of time when I traveled to another universe does not correspond to the order of time when I arrived in your universe, I who traveled to a later time and space may have traveled earlier in that world.
If I pass the information back, then I will know what happened in the future when I travel later, and thus change my behavior in the past, causing the future to change accordingly. This will form a paradox similar to the grandmother's paradox.
However, the world of time and space travel is common in many universes. This has been verified. This kind of time and space travel does not cause paradoxes. There are usually two hypotheses about this. One is to want to travel back to the past.
, people who change the future will be unable to change the future due to various chances and coincidences, and eventually find that everything they do happens to be part of history, and it is precisely because of their intervention that the future will develop into what they see later. This
This argument has a fatalistic meaning, which is somewhat similar to the view we support, but different.
Because time travel is a two-way street from this point of view, after going back to the past, you can go back to the future to see what your changed world will look like, and then if possible, you can continue to go back to the past and try to change it.
Using perspective means that going back in time will create an additional parallel world. Everything that happens in that world has nothing to do with the world before traveling. This perspective is theoretically feasible, but according to our experience, it is only in a very small number of universes.
Effectively, in most universes it is never that easy to create parallel worlds.
The view we support is that time travel needs to follow the principle of information shielding. That is to say, after traveling to the past, you cannot directly go to the future through time travel, nor can you directly transfer information that happened in history in any way.
Pass it back. In addition, the most important point is that the act of going back to the past itself is an accident and cannot be actively triggered. Instead, only specific people at a specific point in time can naturally travel through time and space.
It’s like a natural phenomenon.”
Hao Ren was already a little confused. Instead, the data terminal nodded repeatedly in Hao Ren's consciousness: "You are right. Although similar examples of time travel are extremely rare, they are found in the archives of the Time and Space Administration.
In fact, there are several documented cases.
A prosecutor once discovered an individual who was suspected to be a time traveler, but could not find the world he originally lived in. It was not until many years passed that someone discovered a suddenly missing person and the recorded time travel.
The personal information of the applicant completely matches.
There are more than one similar case recorded, but no matter which one it is, the time traveler has never been able to pass the information about his time travel to the time period before he time traveled through any means. It is somewhat similar to your information shielding principle.
Information can only be transmitted in one direction, from the future to the past, and cannot be transmitted from the past to the future through any means, including normal historical records. In fact, it is very similar to the fatalistic hypothesis you mentioned, that is, the time-traveler's time-travel.
It has already happened. Everything he does is not changing history, but is part of history.
But what does this have to do with our current situation? Are you trying to say..."
Nolan also reacted at this time: "You have always mentioned ten thousand years ago. It seems that for you, ten thousand years ago is an extremely special time point. You also think that the time when we start reincarnation should be
Ten thousand years ago.
However, according to our calculations, the time for everyone to reincarnate in the data world should be equivalent to more than seven thousand years in your calendar. In my earliest lives, I lived until the moment when the world was reset.
Although I didn't have much awareness of actively recording the passage of time at that time, I still had a general concept of time. At least the error should be within ten years. After all, the time of reincarnation is less than 10,000 years. If we assume that we enter the server
If the time point happens to be the time point when you think major events happened in this world, then you are probably not in the modern era you think of, but in the era you originally lived in more than two thousand years ago.
This also explains why you cannot get a response when you release signals to the outside world. This is because it is likely that the equipment you built to receive signals has not yet been born at this time.
According to the principle of information shielding, if you don’t want to cause a time-space paradox, your information cannot be passed to your future self by any means, unless you want to pass the information to a time point after the time node you traveled through."
Hao Ren was a little dizzy, but after thinking about it carefully, what the two people around him said seemed to make sense. He really couldn't go back now, which probably meant that he really came to the past due to some kind of coincidence.
And this kind of chance coincidence is just a simple natural phenomenon, like a bubble on the long river of time and space. It exists and its existence is destined from the moment of its birth.
"If I really traveled through time, what should I do now? According to you, I can't change the future even if I go back to the past. Everything I do now has already happened in history, so what should I do?
Don't you have to do anything anymore?" Hao Ren felt a little frustrated.
"No, this is different. For you in the future, all this is indeed the past and everything is part of history. But for you now, nothing has happened yet. The principle of information shielding also guarantees
The you in the future has no idea what you did in the time-travel state?
So you don’t need to think about time travel at all now, you just need to carry your future memories with you and do your job.”
Lan Nuo is already quite skilled at this kind of thing, especially this time, different selves were thrown to different time nodes, but it did not affect them from doing what they should do at each time node.
"So what should I do as my job?" Hao Ren thought about the duties of a prosecutor, and suddenly felt like he had nothing to do. In such a virtual world that keeps reincarnating, what can he do?
It seems that there is nothing else that can be done other than quietly watching the development of this world.
"What should you do? That's your own business. Anyway, our biggest goal now is to find a way to explore the truth of the world and find a way to go to the real world." After Lan Nuo confirmed Hao Ren's real name, he actually already knew what he was doing.
Now he has a better understanding of the world view of the world he lives in. Before, just by knowing Nolan, he was not sure what world he was in and what world view he was in. However, Hao Ren added the settings of the data terminal, and he was already
It helped him greatly narrow down the scope of the answer. Combined with his current situation, he realized that he was indeed in a virtual world, and the current situation in the virtual world he was in was probably quite bad, and more than that.
The environment of the virtual world will probably worsen as time goes by.
Because the natural environmental conditions of the server hosting their virtual world are constantly deteriorating. The orbit of the planet hosting the server is gradually lowering, and is gradually approaching the star of their galaxy. After a while,
He is likely to fall directly and be submerged in the star, and that will be the end of everyone.
