"Why do you want to know this?"
Xue Jing smiled and just said, "Curious."
Wu Youqing's lavender eyes showed a thoughtful look. After a moment of hesitation, she said:
"Although it's still too early for you to be exposed to this... But it doesn't hurt to listen."
"Well, in this case, I have to tell you about the composition and origin of the universe..."
Xue Jing's mouth twitched: "... No way."
Wu Youqing said seriously: "That's it."
Do we really have to start from when Pangu created the world? Xue Jing scratched his head.
Wu Youqing stood up, walked to the wall, and knocked on the wall with the plastic fork in her hand - just like a teacher knocking on the blackboard with chalk during class.
Seeing that she started to play the teaching with great interest, Xue Jing sat up straight and also put on an appearance of sitting upright and attending the class seriously.
The wealthy boss nodded in satisfaction, a smile in her gorgeous purple eyes.
"Let me ask you, what is the smallest unit that makes up everything in the world, and even the universe itself?"
She asked in a teacher-like tone.
Xue Jing heard this, thought about it, and said uncertainly: "Quark? Quantum?"
Wu Youqing stretched out her index finger and shook it.
"No, the smallest unit of the universe is called a string."
"String?" Xue Jing was stunned, then asked:
"Is it the 'string' in String Theory? Has this theory been proven to be true?"
String theory is a unified field theory that describes the universe.
Its basic view is that the basic units of the universe are not various point-like particles, but various linear "strings".
Everything in this world, from the largest constellations, galaxies and galaxy clusters to the smallest electrons, protons and quarks... everything is produced by the movement and vibration of "strings".
In Xue Jing's previous life on Earth, this theory was considered the most promising grand unified theory that could explain all problems in physics.
"It seems true, but it's not." Wu Youqing said.
"The 'strings' I'm talking about do exist, but they are similar to the strings mentioned in string theory, not the same thing... Just treat the 'strings' I'm talking about as something completely new, and don't associate them with string theory."
Xue Jing nodded: "I understand."
Wu Youqing began to narrate:
"The world and universe we live in are all made up of these 'cosmic strings'. All the so-called absolute laws of physics are determined by 'cosmic strings'."
"Therefore, cosmic strings are the laws of the universe."
"And the so-called 'God', in the eyes of the most advanced scholars in the world, has a more accurate name - 'superstring existence'."
Xue Jing narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do superstrings exist?"
He felt that he was beginning to touch upon the deepest secrets of this world.
Wu Youqing nodded: "Yes... Superstrings exist, as the name suggests, you should understand that they are beyond the constraints of the 'cosmic strings'... They have leapt into their own status, woven themselves into the cosmic strings, becoming part of the strings, and even began to pluck the 'cosmic strings' themselves."
"One plus one equals two... This is the absolute truth, the most basic setting of the universe, but these 'superstring entities' can pluck the cosmic strings and forcibly modify this theorem."
Wu Youqing said quietly: "Guess what will happen if 1+1=2 changes?"
Xue Jing shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Wu Youqing walked to the wooden chair, picked up the small bag on the chair, opened it, searched for a while, took out two one-yuan coins and put them on the table.
“Here are two coins.”
She put the two coins together.
“1+1=2… Two one-dollar coins put together become two.”
"And if there is a 'superstring' that plucks the cosmic string and turns it into 1+1=3..."
Wu Youqing spoke in a calm tone.
"Two coins will only become three... Is that what you think?"
Although Xue Jing had already guessed what would happen, he still nodded in agreement with Wu Youqing.
“It’s not that simple.”
Wu Youqing took out another coin and placed it on the table.
"If 1+1=3, then two dollars put together will become three dollars, and two bombs put together will become three bombs."
"And then... two units of energy put together become three units of energy."
"That would have been enough to cause horrific consequences, but it was more than that."
"Because the extra '1' is equal to 3, it is not included in other universal theorems, but it does exist. Therefore, this 1 will react and superimpose with the first two 1s, and then there will be another 1+1=3, and the extra 1 will continue to superimpose with the previous 1..."
"In this way, everything in the universe will expand infinitely in an instant, and energy will accumulate infinitely."
"Eventually, there will be no combination of particles in the universe that can guarantee a stable existence, and the universe will turn into an infinitely expanding but dead energy block, causing the universe to collapse directly."
"By the same token, if 1+1=2 is modified to 1+1=1, the same effect can be achieved, but in reverse. The universe will collapse infinitely and eventually become a point... a point with no size, no density, but it does exist."
Wu Youqing stated a horrifying fact in a lighthearted manner.
In front of the 'superstring existence'... that is, God, the so-called universe is so fragile.
Hearing such words can easily make people feel a sense of emptiness, as if everything they have achieved so far is meaningless and meaningless.
Xue Jing sighed softly, and he couldn't help but have this feeling.
No wonder Wu Youqing said that it is too early for him to get involved in these things.
"Of course, you just need to listen to these, no need to think too much."
Wu Youqing saw that he was a little silent and smiled.
"We have known for hundreds of years that Earth is just a tiny speck of dust in the universe, and humans are just parasites growing on Earth during its long life... The principle is the same. We don't need to consider such a grand narrative, just look at everything in front of us."
"Although superstring entities can pluck cosmic strings, they are not omnipotent in the absolute sense. At least, they cannot easily change the value of 1+1."
"In the world we live in now, although the original superstring existence... that is, 'God' is dead, so far, no other gods have entered our world, which is enough to show that it is difficult for them to exert influence on our world."
"We have a long time ... until we die, without having to think about how to deal with 'superstring existence'."
"Just take care of everything in front of you first." Wu Youqing said word by word.
Xue Jing nodded, and his powerful mental consciousness transformed into Tsukuyomi Slash, which directly cut off this sense of nothingness and returned to normal.
He asked in confusion: "Teacher Wu, after all this talk, what is the alien god you were blessed with?"
Wu Youqing took a sip of the teacup and tapped his head with a plastic fork like a pointer:
"What's the hurry? We haven't talked about this yet."
After a pause, she continued:
"Now that you understand what cosmic strings and superstrings are, we can move on to something more advanced..."
Xue Jing said helplessly: "... There is something higher?"
He was beginning to regret asking this question.
I feel like even Aban can't handle what Wu Youqing said.
Originally, he thought that with Ah Ban around, he would eventually become absolutely invincible... But now it feels a little hard to say.
Wu Youqing smiled and said, "Besides our world, there are so many alien gods and so many worlds out there. How could there not be something higher than that?"
Xue Jing sighed softly: "... Teacher, please continue."
Wu Youqing did not continue to explain immediately, but pondered for a moment and said:
"What I'm going to say next is something that even the most advanced human scholars don't know... Perhaps only those of us who are chosen by God and can communicate with God know."
Xue Jing tapped the table with his fingers: "Then is it okay to tell me?"
Wu Youqing hummed and nodded, "It should be fine... I've said before, your nature... is more special than the chosen one."
Xue Jing: “…”
I really don’t know what she discovered... or what did she think Ah Ban was
Without waiting for him to think too much, Wu Youqing continued her story.
"Just like Earth is just one planet in the universe, all the planets are included in the universe... and if we zoom out and regard each universe as a planet, there must be a 'big universe' that encompasses all the universes."
"And this 'big universe' also has the smallest basic building blocks."
Wu Youqing said.
"I will call it the Big String."
Xue Jing murmured: "Da Xian..."
"I don't know exactly what the big string is and what its function is."
Wu Youqing shook her head.
"I only know that the alien god bestowed upon me is the one who once entered the 'Great String' but was eventually expelled from it."
"The name of the god, if translated into Chinese, is - Crimson Mist."
…
After coming out of the library, Xue Jing was still a little dazed.
He heard too many things that he shouldn't have heard as a little Karami.
Cosmic strings, superstrings exist, big strings…
It feels like a frog being forcibly pulled out of the bottom of a well to see the real world.
But fortunately, as Wu Youqing said, since the death of God, no superstring entity has been able to enter the world.
Humanity does not have to consider how to face these real gods at present, or for a long time to come.
"Take care of everything in front of you first."
Xue Jing came to his senses and walked out of the school.
He chatted with Wu Youqing for a long time. It was already past six in the afternoon and it was getting dark.
He hailed a taxi and went to his home.
On the way, Xue Jing sat in the car, his eyes thoughtful.
Wu Youqing is the chosen one of God.
And all God's chosen sons will experience the "God-disappearance phenomenon" at some point in the future and disappear without a trace.
Is the reason why Wu Youqing takes such good care of him because she wants to use him to solve the "disappearance phenomenon"
Xue Jing touched his chin and said, "If 'God's disappearance' is related to divinity, I can really solve it..."
But since the rich lady boss hadn't said anything yet, he didn't ask.
While thinking, the car drove for more than half an hour, and Xue Jing got off the car at the street in front of his community and walked back to his home.
Xue Jing took out the key, opened the door and walked in, and was hugged by a figure who was already waiting at the door.
"Son~!"
"Long time no see, you've grown taller again!"
Xue's mother, Nan Jiayu, smiled widely as she held her son, whom she hadn't seen for nearly half a year, in her arms, rubbing the dog's head with her hands.
"Mom, you're back... Let me change my shoes first."
Xue Jing, with his head buried in his mother's arms, spoke in a dull and muffled voice.
After hearing this, Nan Jiayu let him go.
Xue Jing freed himself from his mother's great heart, changed into indoor shoes, and looked at his mother.
She was dressed in a rather mature burgundy OL outfit with light makeup on her face, and it looked like she had just returned not long ago.
Anyone who could give birth to Xue Jing and Xue Wan must have excellent genes. Nan Jiayu was very beautiful, with long black hair without a single strand of white. She did not look like the mother of two grown-up children at all. Even though her temperament was quite mature, she looked no more than thirty years old, a mature and beautiful woman who was well maintained.
