The so-called "grandfather paradox" is actually a classic and easy-to-understand paradox about time travel.
That is to say, if humans can really travel through time and space, then if you go back in time and kill your grandfather, will you disappear? If you will disappear, how can you kill your grandfather?
This just doesn't make sense logically.
In layman's terms, the increase in entropy of matter is "things will always get worse" described by "Murphy's Law". Just like people will get older and older, things will break sooner or later if left out, the sun is not eternal, and the universe
Sooner or later, we will fall into darkness, and all this is irreversible.
But the question is, does time really exist?
What we understand as time roughly describes a process of change, but in the system world of the theory of relativity, changes between different objects are both independent and relative, so we have the concept of time.
The most common description of relativity is to observe the rise and fall of the sun, using day and night to describe the passage of time, and everything changes with the change of time. In fact, even without the so-called concept of time that humans understand, things are still moving.
Constantly moving and changing.
Therefore, the theory that there is no time, only space came into being.
But...for An Yichu and Xia Mu, who are accustomed to using time to describe the changes in themselves and everything, this is a bit overwhelming. However, Zhong Chuqi does not want to forcefully change An Yichu and Xia Mu's inherent habit of using time to determine the world view.
, but wanted to tell her that in fact, they did not really travel through time, but crossed the changing dimensions of objects and came here through some kind of technological channel left by ultra-high intelligence.
At the same time, let’s go into details here.
If we can understand that there is no so-called time, only the changes of space and objects, then the saying that one day in the sky and one year on earth described in traditional Chinese mythology can actually be well explained scientifically. Due to changes in the environment, in
The changes of matter in different spaces in the universe are also different, and can generally be considered to be fast or slow.
Assuming that the aging rate of a person in heaven will be much slower, but the changes of everything on the earth will still maintain the original speed, then when he returns to the earth, he will feel as if he has just spent a day in heaven, while the earth has passed.
It lasted a year. Secondly, someone has said that the feelings of one day and one year are obviously different.
Indeed, but we have to determine a premise, that is, the feelings of a day and a year are not actually the feelings that time brings to us, but the feelings that our own changes and daily behaviors bring to us. We first have this determination.
The irreversible feeling of rushing "entropy" gave rise to the time to describe this change, and finally formed the contrast between a day and a year in the three-dimensional worldview.
This is a bit confusing, so I won’t explain it further.
Back to business.
An Yichu and Xia Mu thought about it again and again, but still couldn't understand the meaning of Zhong Chuqi's words. They simply stopped thinking about it and only hoped that the ruins existed and that there was indeed something there that could allow them to return.
The power of a world you are familiar with.
Later, An Yichu and Zhong Chuqi talked a lot about everything about his world.
When she learned that mankind had advanced to the age of interstellar civilization, that the solar system had been unified under the will of the Supreme Leader, and that the Great Expedition to the Milky Way might be launched in the future, which An Yichu couldn't even imagine, her whole life
Everyone fell into a state of surprise, joy, and longing.
Natsume is concerned about when the "disappearance of the sun" catastrophe that is affecting his era will end.
However, Zhong Chuqi said awkwardly: "Don't look at me. Although I was born hundreds of years after you, I know very little about things before the golden age... and as far as I know, there are very few in this world."
Some people know what happened in the early days of the Golden Age, but one thing I am probably sure of is... that catastrophe lasted for a long, long time... most of the people on the earth died in that catastrophe... the few remaining human beings
It was only with the favor of the 'Old God' that we were able to rebuild civilization."
"Old Gods again!"
Now when he hears these two words, Natsume feels uncomfortable all over... After all, in his life, "Old God" and "Divinity" taught him a very vivid and cruel lesson.
An Yichu's expression also became ugly. After all, she definitely didn't want all this to be as tragic as Zhong Chuqi said. But thinking about the fact that human beings finally retained the fire, civilization was finally rekindled, and human civilization even started a period of
She was full of longing for the Golden Age, and wished she could cross that darkness now to see how prosperous and glorious the human world was in the Golden Age.
"Hey, by the way, didn't you two say that you came from that era? Why did you ask about me instead?" Zhong Chuqi asked.
An Yichu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "We...we should actually be at the beginning of the disaster, and it's still far from the end of the disaster...It's hard to say whether we can survive until the sun rises again..."
Zhong Chuqi nodded thoughtfully when he heard the words: "Oh... So that's it... But you two may not know that, in fact, I didn't believe that you guys traveled from the past at all at first. After all, this kind of drama is very difficult for you.
For people of this era, it's really cliché to the point of being childish, but since you two don't look like actors, I'm actually a little curious."
An Yichu and Xia Mu are actually the same. They are not very sure that Zhong Chuqi is really a super soldier from the era of human interstellar civilization. Of course... In fact, their armor is enough to prove a lot of things, but for An Yichu and Xia Mu
, it was hard to accept it for a while.
"What are you curious about... In that era, everyone was desperate... So when I first came here, I saw the sunshine and grass... I always felt like I was dreaming... even now." An Yichu looked up.
She looked at the sky but couldn't find the sun. Then she said in surprise: "Huh? This place is quite weird. Where is the sun?"
Zhong Chuqi laughed: "We are also puzzled, but this place should no longer be the solar system, and it cannot even be understood according to our understanding of the universe. We should save our thoughts and think about how to survive."
Speaking of "survive", An Yichu frowned and asked: "By the way, what I wanted to ask just now is, since your era is so powerful, why do you still risk your lives to find that so-called 'divine nature'?"
What about 'The Shard'? Is it really important to you guys?"
When Zhong Chuqi heard this, he looked at An Yichu with some vigilance, but after thinking that this girl posed no threat to him, he simply opened his heart and said: "Actually... I'm not very sure why my boss is so persistent.
The search for these things... was obviously an impossible task, but he persisted and tolerated it for so many years... The sustenance of more than ten generations was concentrated on him alone, and I don't know how he managed to survive."
An Yi was still confused when she heard it at first. She frowned and said, "Who are you talking about?"
"Su Yao, the eldest son of the Su family, you should have heard of this family. They are very powerful. Even in this era, they still influence the entire Yaxing Republic." Zhong Chuqi said with admiration.
An Yichu said in surprise: "You are not talking about the Su family, are you?!"
Zhong Chuqi nodded: "Yes, yes! It's the Su family. Su Yao is the eldest son of this generation of the Su family. But he is not the clan leader. He is my boss, the second in the High Angel Legion after my master Fang Tianzhi."
The character is a man who is called a 'god', one of the men I admire the most!"
An Yichu grinned, looking at Zhong Chuqi like a fan, and asked: "Su Yao...it's been so long, I really can't imagine...but from what you mean, he should be a very powerful person, right?"
"Of course, my boss is one of the best among mankind's active army super soldiers. His strength is not only reflected on the battlefield, but also in strategy and forbearance. Let's put it this way, over the years, in my eyes, apart from that
Apart from the supreme leader who I have never even met, my boss is definitely the most mysterious and mysterious man!" Zhong Chuqi, a little fanboy, is not stingy at all when he praises his boss.
Natsume suddenly asked: "According to what you said, Mr. Su Yaosu is already one of the most important people in the solar system. Why do you want to recruit soldiers like you privately to do these hidden things for him?"
Zhong Chuqi looked back at Natsume, who was sitting on the shoulders of his teammate. An imperceptible murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he replied gently: "I don't know about this, but as far as I know, the Su family
Generations have actually been plotting how to kill gods, and although our supreme leader seems to be a messenger of God and a spreader of the gospel, in fact he must also hope that mankind can completely get rid of the shackles of the 'old gods'. Let us
Human beings have complete autonomy... Of course, personally, I don’t think there is any difference.”
"Oh?" Natsume has actually long since seen that this Zhong Chuqi is not as friendly and approachable as he appears. In fact, he is a very flexible person and knows how to assess the situation.
The appearance of Natsume and An Yichu was quite unexpected for them, but as long as they were not stupid, they would definitely think that An Yichu and Natsume might be of some use. Of course, the premise was that Natsume and An Yichu did not pose any threat to them.
.
"Whether it's a god or a supreme leader, we are just ordinary people who live for food and our own small ideals. We don't have so many great ideals to understand, and we don't have that much thought to think about, so in my opinion
It's all insignificant, but..." Zhong Chuqi chuckled: "It's quite interesting to work for the boss. At least it's much happier than my original plan of marrying a wife and having children. Life is nothing more than death. If
Wouldn't it be more comfortable to die in a place like this than on a hospital bed? What do you think?"
Although he didn't want to admit it, Zhong Chuqi's words really benefited Natsume a lot. For a long time, Natsume didn't know what direction his life would take. He thought that if he kept tolerating like this, he might be able to become a
A master who lives in seclusion in the city usually enjoys being a civilian hero, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
However, after the "disappearance of the sun" and the fall of Shelter No. 1 in Xiongan New District, Natsume changed his mind. He felt that maybe there were more ways to go in his life, and at least he shouldn't remain silent like this, so
Only then did Natsume go through a lot of troubles to change his fate regardless of the cost.
But in the end, fate is still so unpredictable. Logically speaking, Natsume tried his best and almost gave up his life to save people. He can be considered a good person after all, but God took away Natsume.
His talent caused him to lose his sense of mystery, and he has since become a "sick man" who is inferior to ordinary people. If his bones were not so bad, otherwise there would be such a big gap, Natsume might not even be able to survive.
The courage is gone.
This time, another accident occurred in the shelter where he was staying. His original intention was to find out the truth, but he unexpectedly met people from centuries later. Such a fantastic experience fell into his life. If you think about it carefully, it is really a special feeling.
.
Thinking of this, Natsume suddenly felt a lot more enlightened. He smiled and said: "You are right, life is nothing more than death. Whether you become a social animal or live out your own life, it all depends on your personal destiny."
Zhong Chuqi smiled slightly and said nothing.
The journey that followed was relatively monotonous, but when the group climbed over several undulating seas of grass and finally saw the Broken Royal Court in the far distance, silent on the edge of the horizon, everyone's breathing became rapid.
Zhong Chuqi couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. He trembled: "I found it! I really found it!!! Hahaha!!"
In comparison, although Xiamu and An Yichu were not as excited as Zhong Chuqi, they still wanted to go to the distant royal court as soon as possible. They also wanted to know who the so-called Coibo civilization Zhong Chuqi said was, and what the broken
Is there any power in the royal court that can kill gods?
Zhong Chuqi caught up with him, grabbed him and threw him on his shoulder, and the group speeded up and rushed toward the horizon.
…
Time turns back to the dining table where Yougege and Su Yao are sitting opposite each other.
After seeing off and welcoming guests, there was an endless stream of guests. Until early in the morning, there were still three or five guests on the first floor, talking about wine, but Zhang Fengyu, as the chef, finally had time to come up and meet the guests.
After entering the room, Zhang Fengyu naturally sat down next to You Gege.
Opposite the long table was Su Yao, who was resting with her eyes closed. Although he heard the footsteps, he did not open his eyes. He probably felt that he had waited too long and did not want to look good on Zhang Fengyu.
Zhang Fengyu was not surprised. He just felt that the man in front of him seemed familiar. After recognizing him for a long time, he tentatively asked: "My surname is Su?"
Yougege, who was about to introduce the two of them, looked at Zhang Fengyu unexpectedly: "Do you know him?"
Su Yao finally opened her eyes and looked at Zhang Fengyu curiously.
Zhang Fengyu smiled: "I don't recognize you, but I always feel that you and I are very familiar, but you are not him... you are not Su Che."
Hearing the word Su Che, Su Yao smiled slightly: "You guessed it right, my surname is indeed Su, my name is Su Yao."
Zhang Fengyu smiled slightly: "Zhang Fengyu."
Su Yao nodded: "Gege often talked about you to me, and I finally saw it today, but I didn't expect that your cooking is so delicious. You are much better than me."
Zhang Fengyu waved his hand: "Where there is, it's just a little accumulation that I have learned for a long time when I have enough time. It's not really a skill. But the appearance of Mr. Su surprised me... I guess... you are not from this era."
Bar?"
Su Yao smiled slightly: "You are right, I come from hundreds of years later, but my first contact with this era was more than a century ago."
Zhang Fengyu glanced at You Gege in surprise, and then said: "So long? I didn't even know."
Seeing the two men, one as current and the other as ex, speaking aggressively, Yougege said speechlessly: "Can you two stop for a moment and listen to what I have to say?"
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Yougege was confused: "What's so funny?"
Zhang Fengyu waved his hand: "No, it's nothing, just tell me."
You Gege rolled his eyes at Zhang Fengyu and said: "I introduced Su Yao to you today because I wanted him to ask clearly what he wanted to ask in front of you. I also made it clear that if there is anything I can't answer,
You come and answer for me, if neither of us can answer, you take him to see that girl, do you understand?"
Zhang Fengyu said in surprise: "Are you really planning to call it a day and go home to write a book?"
Yougege took a sip of the toothsomely sweet lemonade and said, "This is a plan I had decades ago. I've been putting it off until now and I'm exhausted. Can you please stop asking?"
Zhang Fengyu understood, and he shouted downstairs: "Jia Nian, bring up a pot of lemonade, more ice, less sugar!"
"Okay!" The girl's slightly annoyed voice came from downstairs.
You Gege raised an eyebrow: "You can rest assured that she is just a girl staying downstairs with a few drunkards?"
Zhang Fengyu smiled mysteriously: "What you should worry about are those drunkards, not her."
Yougege was surprised, but didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, the lemonade came. Su Yao glanced at Jiannian and said, "Girl, is there any cold beer? Give me a few bottles, and get some delicious dishes to go with the wine."
Jianian nodded and then looked at Zhang Fengyu and said, "Master, can I hit someone today?"
Zhang Fengyu smiled bitterly and said: "It won't work any day. You'd better endure it and don't cause trouble to your father."
Hearing this, Xue Jianian clenched her fists angrily: "Okay then... just wait, I'll go get ready." After saying that, the little girl went downstairs.
Looking at her back, Su Yao was surprised and said the same thing as You Gege during the day.
"so good."
Zhang Fengyu looked at Su Yao strangely when he heard this and said, "Hey, are you interested in my apprentice?"
Su Yao was startled when she heard this, and then laughed: "No, you misunderstood. I mean, it's great that there are such beautiful people in this era."
