Chapter 1164

When the binary number of n is released to 2.2 trillion digits after the decimal point, the huge data is read by the decoder, which finally shows a clue.

As predicted by the land boat, the civilization that sent these mathematical formulas to the earth has experienced quite a long period of observation on the civilization of the earth, and has understood the means of information exchange on the earth.

And what's striking is that all this huge information is compressed into an irrational number of less than a byte.

Surprised at how they sent this irrational number to the earth, the land boat actually wanted to know how they could release such a huge amount of information with a single number

Underground laboratory of Jinling Institute of higher learning.

Lying on the bed of the land boat, wearing the latest holographic helmet.

Although worried about the security of this data, AI complied with the order of Lu Zhou and started the program.

Soon, a white space came.

The world, which is the same as the system space, appears in front of the land boat.

However, unlike the system space, it is not the familiar holographic panel, but a It's probably a man who is based on himself.

However, although it is a "replica" based on itself, if you look at it carefully, some adjustments have been made to the facial features and some details.

It is said that human beings are more likely to have good feelings for their own experiences, while instinctively repel non twin individuals who look exactly like themselves.

I don't know if it's because of this reason that he chose to meet with himself in such a way. Neither is Lu Zhou a psychologist, nor is it possible to analyze the heart of the messenger who is suspected to be from a higher civilization.

And the only thing he could tell was, at least this time, that there was no animosity attached to the contact.

"How did you do it?"

Looking at the man standing in front of him, Lu Zhou said quickly, "put huge data into an irrational number No, before you tell me, how do you create irrational numbers at will? "

This seems to be a bit awkward, but Lu Zhou believes that he can understand his confusion.

Using the concept of abstract number to express a specific irrational number is not only the degree of mathematical problems, but also the degree of people's doubt whether it can be achieved.

In the face of the question from Lu Zhou, the man expressed some vexed expression and said in a gentle voice.

“…… In the ancient memory, we were as ignorant as you. At that time, the real numbers we came into contact with were basically rational numbers. But in the following countless centuries, we gradually found that almost all real numbers were irrational numbers. "

Lu Zhou: " We know that, too. "

Looking at the expression on Lu Zhou's face, the face suddenly showed a glimmer of trance and continued.

"Please don't misunderstand, ignorance is not a derogatory term in our civilization, even It's an enviable quality. Because only the ignorant can be curious, and curiosity is the vitality of civilization. Once you lose curiosity, even if your civilization is omniscient, it will die with the passage of time Of course, you are too young to imagine the feeling of being overwhelmed by endless emptiness when you are at a stage where solving a problem will create countless new problems. "

Lu Zhou: "although the omnipotence in your mouth is enviable, I Probably understand what you want to say. "

Poets often compare themselves to either birds or birds. Knowing more doesn't necessarily mean being happier. In fact, most of the troubles are caused by knowing.

This is true for individuals.

The same is true of civilization.

"Yes, I like you very much," it seems that I read the thoughts in Lu Zhou's heart, and there was a look of approval on his face. "I have seen two praiseworthy qualities in you."

The boat thought for a moment.

“…… Have self-knowledge? "

"Now it's three. You're smart."

The man smiled and continued, "but I'm afraid I can't answer two questions about you. It's about the truth of the universe That is to say, your so-called knowledge about this part of the information is not included in this program, we would like to be able to find the answer by yourself. "

"Of course, I would like to talk to you personally about those interesting things if we could meet, but it may not be a good thing for you."

Lu Zhou: "..."

This kind of feeling is like being watched and praised by gorillas in the zoo. The land boat doesn't know whether to be happy or angry at this time.

Of course, maybe it's more powerless.

Considering that the "man" in front of us may be more powerful than the sum of the armed forces on earth, even if it's for the sake of other people, it's better to be a little more stable.So far, at least, he has approached himself with kindness.

Lu Zhou: "may I ask you a question?"

"Ask."

"Your name."

The man thought for a moment and said.

"This problem is a little complicated, even more complicated than the first one We have long abandoned the communication methods that need to rely on media, including body, audio, electromagnetic wave and even gravitational wave, and we are no longer using names to distinguish each other Of course, if it's for convenience, you can also call me observer, which is my favorite word in your dictionary. "

It's a strange aesthetic.

However, the name is just a code, and the land boat doesn't bother about this unimportant issue and continues to ask.

"What is void? What is a natural disaster? And the strange drop - "thinking of what the observer said earlier, the boat was silent for half a second, then changed its mouth and said," let's not talk about the strange drop. You should tell me the first two questions. "

The man smiled and nodded.

Your "really smart" expression reappeared in his face.

As if he was reading a poem, he said in a cadenced voice.

"Emptiness is emptiness. Everything about it is a mystery even to us who step into it. It's independent of the universe. If, according to your explanation, the universe is composed of N vibrating strings, then it's the N + 1 string beyond the N string, and the extra dimension beyond the n dimension. It's a wall on the wall. It's a reflection Lake in the lake. It contains all the energy and material in the universe, but it has nothing. "

This time, Lu Zhou finally understood how others felt when he held the report meeting.

Combined with M theory, he barely understood the concept of void described by the observer, but he still did not understand how civilization could exist in such a space.

And even if there is civilization, how it communicates with the universe.

"As for natural disasters..." There was a faint sadness in the eyes of the observer. After a long silence, he sighed and said, "it's too early for you."

Lu Zhou: "I don't understand If, according to you, the void is an extra dimension beyond the n dimension, then everything about it should be independent of the n dimension. In that case, how did you get in touch with me? How to influence those The one who dreams of you. "

There was a trace of approval in his eyes, the man said with a smile.

"I like you more and more. Most people will panic when they see me, or they will stubbornly think that I am talking nonsense. Only you try to communicate with me with rational thinking Although I feel that you may not believe me, at least you are willing to assume that all these are true possibilities. "

The boat did not speak, but waited for him to continue.

Dun dun, the man who claimed to be an observer, went on.

"When the old universe went out, we made some preparations. You can understand that we built a dam when the flood came. Because of these preparations, we can intervene in those civilizations that are connected with us in a limited way Although the bond between us is very weak, there are too many mysterious energies for you to interfere with this connection, and few individuals, even if they realize our existence, are unable to persuade their compatriots, even more difficult to convince themselves. "

"So every once in a while, we will try to release some necessary signals to speed up your civilization process to a certain extent, which you can call enlightenment. Of course, it's not without its disadvantages. Like supernovae, inflation will die, so we are doing it on thin ice. So that you can grow as much as you can without overdrawing your potential in the future. "

Lu Zhou: " You seem to have invested a lot of resources in me? "

The observer smiled kindly.

"Yes, so if you don't see these things, we may lose a lot. But the probability is very small. Even if there are omissions in our calculation, subsequent plans can cover these omissions. "

Lu Zhou is not sure whether what he said "these things" refers to Professor grotendic's notes or his own "system". But in fact, it is true that I have been guided by so many guidelines and finally came here.

It's just that he doesn't understand something.

That's why they do it.

Or, even if we let a group of ants know that the flood is coming, what can we expect this group of ants to do?

It's not that he is arrogant, but in terms of mathematics, physics and Informatics, he really has no courage to compare the earth civilization with the void civilization behind the observer in front of him.

If they can't resist even making strange drops, what's the use of telling the earth civilization that even building a hydrogen bomb takes a lot of effort?“…… Wouldn't it be better to tell us about the crisis if you really wanted to solve it? "

As if looking at his own child, the observer suddenly smiled and said softly.

"Really?"

"All our decisions are based on the experience of hundreds of millions of failures and the conclusions of hundreds of millions of calculations. Maybe it's incomprehensible from your point of view, but in fact it's the best choice. "

"We must make sure that every grit in the hourglass falls into the bottle accurately, and let everything go in a good direction when the final moment comes Of course, although that's what we said, we didn't make a mistake. "

"Remember the story of the Kalan Empire?"

The boat didn't speak, just nodded.

"I'm glad you remember, so that our topic can continue," the observer smiled and nodded. After a pause, he continued, "in the two hundred years after the Oracle event, this long-standing civilization, at an incredible speed, turned into the dust of the universe and disappeared in the world."

Sure enough

It seems that my guess is right.

The Kalan civilization has become a history, even a great possibility, from the "old universe" in this observer's mouth. In this way, that memory may have been before the big bang.

Because it was too surprised, it took two seconds for the boat to digest the shock in her heart, and she took a deep breath and said.

“…… Is it because of "natural disasters"

"Natural disaster? Natural disasters are not so weak. On the contrary, it's man-made. "

It seemed to read the surprise on Lu Zhou's face, the man continued.

"What happened to the Kalan empire was beyond our expectation. What we didn't expect to destroy them was not the natural disaster sweeping the universe, but themselves."

"But fortunately, this memory has been preserved and has given us a lot of inspiration."

Lu Zhou: "memory? What memory? "

"You have a little more questions, but so far, everything seems to be in the expected range, except for the first one that came out of my expectation."

"As for your curious memory, it is naturally a follow-up to the previous one - that is, the second half of 'B', about 50 years later."

The man smiled and stretched out his right hand forward, holding up a square vertebra formed by light blue particles.

"It should be almost time."

"If you had received that quantum computer, decoding would have been here."

The boat was about to open its mouth and ask, "here" what it meant. The white awn around it cracked back like a fragment. The pale blue square body, like a black hole, distorts the surrounding space and releases numerous transparent fragments, flying to the corner of the butterfly at a glance.

Although I don't know what happened, the heart of Lu Zhou tells him.

This should be the world depicted in "virtual memory B2"!

The story has begun
