Chapter 336: One Billion and One

Looking at the stars in the sky, the scientists were all silent and thinking nervously.

"I have an idea." A scientist from Race No. 75 stood up and said nervously: "In our current theoretical system, our universe is limited but boundless. So, we

Can we think that this small universe torn out from the big universe also has the same structure, limited but boundless?"

"What does this mean?" Xiao Yu asked, while giving it an encouraging look.

In fact, Xiao Yu knew exactly what this scientist was going to say, and so did Xiao Yu's thoughts. However, Xiao Yu did not speak out his thoughts. It is also important to cultivate the way of thinking of these scientists at the appropriate time.

. Anyway, false fame doesn't matter to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu is happy to hand over the honor to these scientists and let them work more carefully for him.

After being encouraged by Xiao Yu, the scientist seemed to have a lot more confidence. He saluted Xiao Yu and then said: "First of all, we know that light propagates through space, and the curvature of space will also bend the light. When it reaches the edge of the universe,

After that, the light will return along the same path. So, I have a conjecture that all the stars in this small universe are the same."

Xiao Yu nodded slightly. The scientist's thoughts were completely consistent with his own.

There was a lot of discussion in the conference room, with some scientists expressing support and some expressing opposition.

"Let's discuss the possibility of this speculation." Xiao Yu said, waved the arm that controlled his phantom, and sent a command. The three-dimensional projection equipment projected two mirrors between Xiao Yu's hands.

.

These two mirrors are very ordinary, no different from the mirrors made by humans in the earth age. The two mirrors stood opposite each other, and immediately, infinite shadows appeared in both mirrors, extending to the infinite distance of nothingness, endlessly,

No end in sight.

This phenomenon is very common, and it is easy to reproduce this scene in human society in the earth age. Xiao Yu even did such an experiment when he was a child, that is, taking two mirrors and letting them shine at each other.

. Then an infinitely extended image will appear in each mirror. This is because the light is reflected back and forth between the two mirrors. First, mirror a shines on mirror b, and mirror a has the image of mirror b, and then mirror b reflects again.

The image of mirror a and the image of mirror a are reflected again, and then mirror a is illuminated by mirror b... Every time the light is reflected, the number of such virtual images will increase by one, and more and more.

.All the way to infinite.

"This scientist's point of view is just like the infinite shadows that appear when two mirrors look at each other." Xiao Yu pointed to the phenomenon that appeared in the two mirrors and said, "This phenomenon can probably explain why we are doing what we do now.

In this small universe we live in, there are so many stars with exactly the same spectrum, volume, mass, density and other data. The reason is very simple. They are originally the same star. It’s just that its light has passed through the edge of the universe infinite times.

reflection, that’s why it looks like there are so many stars.”

All the scientists showed expressions of sudden enlightenment. As junior level-5 civilization scientists, they could easily understand every reaction in this process.

Because in Xiao Yu’s current theoretical system, the universe is limited but boundless. For example, a two-dimensional flat universe is curled into a three-dimensional sphere. The creatures in the two-dimensional universe live on the surface of this sphere. In this way

It is easy to understand the phrase finite but boundless, because it is obvious that these two-dimensional creatures, no matter which point, in which direction, or how far they sail, they cannot find the boundary of the universe, and at most they can return to the origin.

.

Similarly, a three-dimensional world, from a four-dimensional perspective, is also a sphere, just a four-dimensional sphere. It is still limited, but has no boundaries. It is impossible for light to break through from this three-dimensional universe when it travels in the three-dimensional space.

If you go out, at most you will be back to where you started.

So this is easy to explain. The light of a white dwarf starts from the white dwarf and then spreads in the three-dimensional world. Perhaps because of the difference between the four-dimensional world and the three-dimensional world, it does not return after returning.

to the origin, but appears in another position. From the perspective of the creatures in this universe, there is one more star in the starry sky. Then its light continues to spread and returns again, and it looks like there are one more star.

A star... After countless inversions and deflections, it has formed the current scene. It seems that there are countless identical stars in the universe.

It's like the infinite shadow reflected by two mirrors facing each other.

At the same time, it is also easy to explain why this phenomenon does not occur in the real-world universe. Because light will continue to weaken during the propagation process. When transmitted from one side of the universe to the other, it is likely to attenuate so weakly that it cannot be observed.

. Another point is that the scope of the universe is so vast that even light takes more than 10 billion years to reach the edge, and the universe has only been 13.7 billion years since its birth.

Just years.

Therefore, it is impossible for such a scene to occur in the large universe. Such a phenomenon can only occur in such a micro-universe.

"But one thing needs to be pointed out. This is just a speculation on our part." Xiao Yu said, "We just found an explanation, but we can't verify it. And Smart No. 1 made it very clear, we only have one chance. Once

If there is a mistake, there is no possibility of recovery. So now, I need a way to verify this speculation. And there is another point. Even if our speculation is verified to be correct, how can we eliminate the phantom and find the truth? This

It’s still a very thorny issue.”

Because obviously, since only one of these stars is real and the rest are phantoms, then the hiding place of Smart No. 1 must be the real star. But... how to convert this real star?

Stars, find them among the countless surrounding shadows?

"We have the ability to verify this conjecture, and at the same time, we can also find this real star." Luca 3 said, "Actually, there are some mistakes in your statement, master. Each of these infinite stars is not imaginary.

Shadows, each one is a substance, but they are still one and the same.”

This statement seems a bit contradictory. In this cosmic starry sky, there are more than one billion stars currently observed. Each of them is an entity, that is, one billion stars, but they are the same one, one billion stars.

and one, the gap is so huge, it seems impossible to connect the two numbers.

All the scientists looked at Luca 3, waiting for it to continue.

"Actually, it's easy to explain." Luca 3 said, "Because no matter which star we choose and approach, we will eventually be transported to the same place in this three-dimensional world that is curled into a four-dimensional sphere. Then

It's right next to this real star. So this test is actually not difficult at all. If you choose any one of these billion stars and approach it, we will come to the real target position. I think, what Smart No. 1 said

We only have one chance, and words that we should choose carefully only put psychological pressure on us, making us afraid to choose easily."

After listening to what Luca Three said, the conference room fell into silence once again. The scientists were all thinking hard, including Xiao Yu.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yu said: "This statement is very reasonable. Our existing theoretical system fully supports this statement, and it can also perfectly explain what we are currently encountering. But... there is one more thing, we

How to verify this conjecture? Well... very good, very good, this conjecture is actually very easy to verify."

Luka No. 3 looked at Xiao Yu's shadow with a smile on his face and nodded: "It's really easy to verify."

At this moment, some scientists who had not figured it out were still confused and looked at the two people with confusion. Xiao Yu explained: "Since the three-dimensional universe is a closed sphere in the four-dimensional world, no matter which way we sail

In the end, we will all return to our original place, so we might as well just take a long voyage and see if we can return to our original place. Anyway, we will not get close to any star before the verification results come out, which does not violate the rules.

."

"That's it." Luca 3 continued: "Actually, if we just want to verify the deflection of light and explain why there are so many stars, we only need to launch a powerful artificial sun and then observe whether there are any

It is enough that other powerful artificial suns will appear. But in order to verify that every star is an entity, it is best to go on a long voyage in person, so that the data obtained will be more complete and more credible."

"Okay. An artificial sun has been launched, and it can last for half a month. Well...if our calculation is correct, the diameter of this small universe is only 30 to 40 billion kilometers. According to the speed of light, we

Within three days at the latest, we will see another phantom appear in the universe. If the phantom really appears, we will sail towards this phantom to see if we can finally reach this artificial sun.

Next to…”

"This is my whole plan." Xiao Yu said, "If it can really be reached, then the first test will be easily passed. If it cannot be reached, it will prove that we are wrong, and we will think of other ways.

.”(To be continued..)
