Translated into vernacular, in the general theory of relativity, things like wormholes violate the law of causality. (But what is very interesting is that Einstein, the creator of the theory of relativity, supported the wormhole theory and proposed that "it is a thin tube of space and time connecting distant regions of the universe." It can be seen that even if a person is always right, there is definitely no lack of persistence. Those who oppose the view, and there are countless similar examples. After all, academics do not serve authority, but serve truth.)
Lu Zhou nodded.
Duan Siqi: "...???"
"Nothing special, I just want to chat with you about the last copy... If you are free, I can buy you a cup of coffee."
"How about The Matrix? Speaking of virtual reality, there is no such classic action blockbuster!"
"Yes," Lu Zhou nodded, "Aren't you curious about the oracle and natural disasters?"
In fact, he did consciously or unconsciously start to read some books and documents about programming, composition, and VR technology in his spare time.
…
Lu Zhou: "You didn't inherit Dr. Lane's property?"
Along the way, the two of them chatted about each other, and the topic they talked about was really just about "games". This was indeed somewhat beyond Duan Siqi's expectations. On the one hand, he did not expect Academician Lu to be so approachable, and on the other hand, he did not expect that they would have so many common topics.
Tapping his index finger lightly on the table, Lu Zhou finally shook his head, stuffed the closed notebook into the drawer, then stood up from the chair, took out his cell phone and called Wang Peng.
In fact, this probability is almost the same.
"it's over?"
Regarding what Classmate Duan said, Lu Zhou nodded in agreement.
More than once, he had this thought.
"Maybe it's a disaster sweeping the entire universe, a swarm of insects? An out-of-control AI? But I feel like this level of threat can't threaten them... Sorry, my imagination is really limited, and I can't guess the plot behind it. What is it? Can you give me a spoiler?"
Although learning these things took up a lot of his spare time, it unexpectedly made him feel happy.
After obtaining the observation data, Lu Zhou spent a whole day and night going through the data, but he still found no clues about the strange drop.
Duan Siqi couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought about what he encountered in which copy.
It seems easy to say, and it can be said to be a standard feature of various science fiction blockbusters. However, in fact, it is extremely difficult to achieve this.
But no matter what kind of technology it is based on physical theorems unknown to human civilization, it can only be attributed to the miracle of the universe itself, rather than a miracle created by man. At most, a group of smart people took advantage of it.
"The games are all pretty much the same..." Duan Siqi scratched the back of his head and said with some confusion, "It's true that I'm curious, but the plot disappeared halfway, so I was helpless."
One hundred thousand bonus.
So, is he the only one who has seen the true ending
Looking at the expression on the student's face, Lu Zhou smiled.
Although Lu Zhou offers a number theory course at Jinling University, even the students in his class will not see the elusive Professor Lu a few times a year, let alone other people.
joke.
"Unfortunately, the script was automatically compiled by AI, and the follow-up parts are still being written. Even I don't know the follow-up. It may take a while before I can reveal it to you."
"Don't get me wrong...that, I picked up the ID casually, the real fan is not me -"
No, not just students.
"... But the problem is, if this broadcast is for the entire galaxy, and some method is used to make gravitational waves ignore the distance scale of light years, there is no reason why the earth cannot hear any 'sound', right?"
Hearing these words, Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
Unlike mathematics, at least when learning this thing, there won't be an awesome roommate next to him who will undermine his self-confidence every day. And no matter how much you learn, or whether it is helpful for the exam, the sense of accomplishment brought by the continuous accumulation of knowledge is still very pleasant.
However, compared to how to spend this "huge sum of money", Duan Siqi is worrying about things that are more worth worrying about at the moment.
As early as 1992, Professor Stephen Hawking, who is often criticized by folk scholars, proved through mathematical methods that in the general theory of relativity, if the topology of space changes within a bounded area, then in the place where this change occurs There is a closed time-like curve within the space-time range in which it occurs.
"It can be inferred from the memory of the Jialan civilization that the advanced civilization that mastered the strange drops - let's call it the 'void' civilization - should have mastered some kind of hyperspace technology, which can allow matter and information to spread beyond the speed of light. "
Although he has always regarded himself as a guinea pig, he used to do this as a part-time job, but after tasting the sweetness, he is obviously no longer satisfied with this.
"Yes," Duan Siqi glanced at Lu Zhou strangely, "Don't you know?"
For a student, it can be said to be a huge sum of money.
This guy is even more awesome than the principal.
"No, this copy is over. Just forget about it."
This feeling is probably like walking into a convenience store to get a bottle of mineral water, only to find Jaylen buying milk tea nearby.
"Are you... the player who cleared the level?"
Looking at Classmate Duan who looked curious, Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.
Duan Siqi thought for a while and said: "I think the world view can be further explored. What I am most curious about is not the ring world, but the border planets mentioned by Jialan... I feel that if the world view is expanded, for example, it can be made into an online world. Games or online games like EVE are definitely more interesting than pure stand-alone games."
"But how did they do it."
Seeing the confused expression on this classmate Duan's face, Lu Zhou instantly realized what was going on.
"Let's stop this topic," Lu Zhou quickly raised his hand and coughed, "It's too embarrassing."
To put it figuratively, it’s like playing checkers.
Damn it
Could it be that the broadcast has ended
This theory can be traced back to the end of the last century.
"It's still being written..." Duan Siqi continued with a trace of regret on his face, "I really suggest you change this game into an online game. It's best to expand the degree of freedom. The plot will end in the Imperial Council Hall. That When the alien scholar was first taken away, I thought the next plot was about saving him, but it ended immediately. If nothing else, I think it can at least be a free mode after clearing the level, right?"
Faster than light.
One day, while walking on the way to the library, someone suddenly stood in front of him and stopped him, and spoke to him.
"I know there is a good coffee shop at the gate of the school. When I was in school, there was a man who used to take me there... let's talk while walking."
In an abstract sense, this seems to be consistent with Einstein's theory.
He went through the drone level alone no less than 20 times, and even accurate his movements after getting off the car to the second level before he could barely get through it.
However, the "void" civilization is different.
Will the bonus be taken back
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou couldn't help but have a strange expression on his face.
When he saw the person blocking him, his expression was suddenly shocked.
Looking at Lu Zhou who turned around to lead the way, Duan Siqi quickly followed.
Suddenly, he heard something unusual from this sentence, and Lu Zhou frowned slightly.
Lu Zhou: "...Based on the clues in the game, what do you think the natural disaster might be?"
However, even if he saw it, he didn't say much, just said it in an easy-going tone.
Or, just as he initially guessed, everything about that broadcast and the Jialan Empire was buried in the long river of time, and what he saw might just be a past that was more distant than he imagined.
Lu Zhou: "... After clearing the level, you followed General Saiins back to the military camp and returned the equipment. Didn't you unlock the free mode?"
With an embarrassed expression on his face, Duan Siqi nodded quickly.
Lu Shen? !
"Send me to Jinda."
As for the specific principles, they were not mentioned in that memory, and Lu Zhou could only make some possible assumptions based on limited knowledge and fragments of information.
According to the average salary in Jinling, even the average working class can keep busy for more than a whole year.
Perhaps it was because the gap in status was so great that he selectively forgot that Lu Zhou was not actually much older than him...
"Okay, okay...what do you want from me?"
Not only the man-made strange droplets, but also the jumping method that completely ignores the movement and communication of hyperspace channels. No matter which one it is, it is simply impossible to achieve with their technology, and they cannot even understand it.
In other words, what he saw was actually the "true ending"
"What do you think about that game?"
After closing the notebook in his hand, Lu Zhou rubbed his sore eyebrows and muttered to himself with a headache.
For example, the huge gravitational field tears a crack in a higher dimension. By entering this crack through a special method, movement between stars can be achieved.
Duan Siqi, who had been observing the changes in the expression on Lu Zhou's face, asked nervously in a low voice: "Should I... I haven't actually cleared the level?"
"The Matrix? It sounds very interesting," Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows and said with interest, "I will ask the technicians of the project team to study it later..."
Do you want to change your major
"What military camp?" Duan Siqi looked at Lu Zhou in confusion and said, "Didn't the screen go black after being taken away?"
Duan Siqi was stunned for a moment: "Plot?"
"What about other aspects?"
It’s hard to say who is the real top player...
"I will mention your opinion to the product manager... In contrast, I am more curious about your thoughts on the plot."
If it weren't for the abnormal difficulty, he felt that he wouldn't need to hire a "trainer" to reach the ending.
"Being free is a must," Duan Siqi said with a sheepish smile, "What do you want to know?"
His intuition tells him that the increasingly mature virtual reality technology will definitely be full of unlimited business opportunities in the future, and now he is one of the first people to try it.
What he really wanted to ask was this, but he was too embarrassed to say it.
Although the nerves that were deliberately concealed could be seen, based on his experience, he could still tell what this kid was thinking.
Unlike controlled fusion, a technology that has been proven to be feasible by physicists decades ago, not only imaginative high-energy physicists have not thought of how to make objects move faster than the speed of light. From which angle can it be realized? It has even been proven theoretically that it is impossible.
Without giving him time to continue thinking, Lu Zhou changed the topic without leaving any trace.
Duan Siqi, who stopped, subconsciously raised his head.
Hearing these words, Duan Siqi's eyes suddenly lit up.
"The difficulty is too abnormal, and there is no save mode. As a result, many places have to be played dozens of times to pass the level. It is almost obsessive-compulsive."
"receive."
Not to mention flattery or anything like that, even if you say a few more words and become familiar with him, it will be of great help to his future development. This kind of opportunity might not be possible for others, so he would naturally not let it go.
"Hello?"
“I want to hear your opinion on what dungeon you want to experience next.”
Duan Siqi subconsciously planned to nod, but suddenly thought that he had obtained the ID casually, and his expression suddenly became awkward.
Lu Zhou understood very well why everyone in the meeting hall was so panicked.
According to the memory of the Jialan civilization, their method of achieving faster-than-light navigation and communication is to use the gravitational bond between star systems—a naturally formed thing similar to a hyperspace channel—to achieve communication between star systems. Faster-than-light movement.
When arriving at the meeting hall, if you do not trigger a dialogue with Dr. Lane and gain his favor during the dialogue, then there is a high probability that you will not inherit his inheritance in the following plot.
