Just after returning to the ship group's territory, Xiao Ran took two steps to get out of the way and then suddenly turned around and looked behind him. His eyes scanned and looked at everyone, including Graham, Ingram and others who were following behind.
The feeling of being looked at directly made everyone present feel uneasy for some reason. Then Xiao Ran took off the mask on his face and showed a thoughtful expression, frowning and shaking his head.
Xiao Ran suddenly smiled and waved to everyone: "Oh, it's okay. Let's all go and rest."
After saying that, Xiao Ran turned around and left. Elsam looked at Xiao Ran's back from behind and raised his hand to touch his chin: "I think Master Xiao Ran seems to be thinking about something very unusual. He probably thinks that we None of these people are suitable to do what he is thinking.”
Bai Hechou paused and glanced at Elsam: "I'm afraid you were the only one present who realized in the end why Cruze and Youzes ran away in a hurry."
Xiao Ran returned to his study and kept thinking about it, but after thinking about it, he felt that there seemed to be a wall blocking the path of his thoughts. No matter how much he thought, he could not break through that wall and enter the world behind, a world about The real world of Prometheus, but now it's very, very close.
"Purpose, core" Xiao Ran frowned and pondered: "What is the ultimate purpose of Prometheus? If the eternal existence of the system is for balance, then what is Prometheus for? What do you think of Prometheus? None of it seems to have anything to do with balance.”
"Yan, come in."
Xiao Ran raised his head and shouted towards the door. Soon the study door was pushed open and Yan walked in. He looked at Xiao Ran with big eyes and a gentle smile: "What's the matter, Mr. Xiao Ran?"
Xiao Ran stood up: "Help me inform Gilliam and Hades and ask them to meet me in Rona, the technical department."
Yan nodded: "Okay, Master Xiao Ran."
Xiao Ran left the mansion and went directly to Luo's technical headquarters, where he waited for Kiriam, Hades, and Luo, who was the head of the technical department.
"Why are you here again?" Luo took off his white coat and threw it aside. He had just been in the factory under the technical department instructing the modification of everyone's new machines. When he heard Xiao Ran coming to see him, he hurried back. .
Hades sat aside with no expression, while Gilliam nodded to Luo.
Xiao Ran said: "I want to create a new department. I am wondering whether I should link this department to technology or be independent from outside."
Luo sat down and asked: "What kind of department."
Xiao Ran said: "It is a research department, but it does not study technology, only logic."
The people present were thoughtful, but a little confused.
Luo asked: "Study logic, Chao?"
"Yeah." Xiao Ran nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed upward: "Study its logic."
Luo's eyes widened, and Kiliam also showed a look of astonishment. Only Hades's eyes flashed with an interesting look.
Xiao Ran continued: "This is very important to us. I need relevant logic experts, technicians, researchers, and Chao to assist. Xiaoba and Nevelina all need to join in. In addition, In addition, we must have Sophia’s assistance to conduct a complete deduction, find its logic from scratch, and dig out its loopholes.”
"We can create our own Prometheus in the world created by Sophia."
Luo smacked his lips with a complicated expression: "Only the four of us can discuss such a big matter?"
Xiao Ran said: "Because there is no use for others to join, just wait until this department is set up and let them join in to assist."
Luo was silent for a while and shook his head gently: "It's too urgent. I don't support it. I think it's not possible now and I have to wait."
Xiao Ran didn't expect Luo to refuse, and asked a little strangely: "Then what do you think?"
"It's too urgent to build another Prometheus. There are many things about Prometheus that we can't understand with our current technology, such as how it strengthens participants, what are the attribute points, and what are the skills? What kind of mechanism is it? How can we control time and travel through space silently? We can’t do this yet.”
"Dimensions are different."
A faint voice sounded, and everyone looked at Hades who looked calm at the same time.
"Because the dimensions are different, in terms that you can understand, now you are still in the third dimension, a three-dimensional living body in the four-dimensional space, and I used to be at the peak of the three-dimensional space and have been able to contact the fourth dimension, so I am a god. But I can't control and influence time, and the same goes for you. I know that in my world there are beings that transcend dimensions, beings that can truly control time and affect the entire universe, but they can only affect that universe, because they The ability is what the universe gives you."
"But I don't know about Prometheus. The great power he possesses seems to come from himself rather than which universe. So I think Prometheus is a being that has truly entered a higher dimension and can affect time and control matter. , can change all the rules of any three lives in the four-dimensional world. This is already a higher-dimensional power that spans multiple dimensions, otherwise it would not be able to bring half of my body here."
"Actually, Xiao Ran, aren't you already able to touch the real fourth dimension? Although your eighth sense is just a false eighth sense, you have another ability that is completely different from the small universe. But if you can completely If you master that power, you can influence time and even influence countless multiple worlds."
Xiao Ran nodded lightly: "The quantum realm, but that place is too scary. Until now, I only dare to use the power of the quantum realm but dare not go deep into it. It is too difficult to be completely familiar with or even control the quantum realm. It is too difficult. , my personal spirit is like a leaf in the sea, unable to do anything."
Luo scratched his head and said: "It is inevitable that Prometheus is a higher-dimensional existence. Of course I know this, but how it does what I said is the key. Is it possible that high latitudes can do everything? ? What about the principle, what about the mechanism? Hades, since you have been in contact with the fourth dimension, do you know how it affects all of this? "
Hades looked at Luo calmly and calmly, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth: "I'm just giving you an analogy to make a horizontal comparison. Everything I can do depends on my ability and instinct. What I can do What you can do is what you can do, and what you can’t can’t. I understand literature and can draw, I can play the piano and write poetry, I can fight and kill, these are just like breathing, but I am not you, my There is a serious disconnect between knowledge and you. Are you discussing the principles and mechanisms of dimensions with an illiterate? Are you discussing science and technology with a magician?"
"We are different. Everything about me cannot be applied to technology and cannot be answered by technology. Likewise, I do not understand the technology you have."
"Cough." Xiao Ran coughed lightly, and Luo was stunned for a moment and made a haha sound in embarrassment.
Hades looked at Xiao Ran and said: "But he is right, we are too anxious. We still lack a force that can resist, it can be me or you, so that at least we can have it after problems arise. Ability to defend and negotiate.”
Xiao Ran said: "I understand what you mean, but even if we no longer create a Prometheus belonging to us, we can also establish this department first, and then deduce its logic in various ways. In this regard We have a great advantage, we can create a false Prometheus in a world made entirely of data, right?"
Luo thought for a while: "I understand, since you want to, we can set it up, but this department is not suitable to be under the technical department. You just happened to come over. If you don't come to me, I will actually go to you in two days." Yes, but having this meeting today can help me solve something that I have a hard time deciding on."
Xiao Ran asked: "What's the matter?"
Luo stood up and walked back to his desk and took out a document and handed it to Xiao Ran. After opening the document, Xiao Ran looked directly at the title of the document, "On the practical significance of basic science for future development, in-depth research and development of basic science" application.
Xiao Ran looked up at Luo, obviously asking Luo to explain to him what this was.
"Basic science, which takes natural phenomena and material movement patterns as its research objects and explores the laws of natural development, includes mathematics, chemistry, biology, physics, astronomy and other disciplines. It can bring great benefits to many aspects such as technical science and so on. Its guiding role and influence have always been aspects that we have relatively neglected.”
"I am not an expert in this area. This is an application report jointly submitted by some researchers and technicians below. It shows that our technological development is still in a deformed state. Most of the technologies are absorbed from outside and then assimilated, and there is no true own. Basic science tree, our own basic science has always been in a slow development stage. To sum up, if we can develop basic science to a higher level, our technology will also make a huge breakthrough."
Seeing Xiao Ran and Hades listening attentively, Luo didn't know how to describe in detail the impact and changes that basic science could bring. He was silent for a moment and made an analogy: "If basic science breaks through to a very high level, To a high degree, we have grasped the laws of all matter. We can capture the sun and shrink it into an energy furnace. We can destroy planets with a chopstick. We can change the rotation of galaxies with a wave of our hands. We can give newborn children possession of The ability to become a god can change time and travel through the past."
"Not in a mysterious way, but to give everyone the ability to change everything and affect everything, or even create a Prometheus belonging to us in another world, which will allow you to have more knowledge about the quantum realm. Understand that the small universe can be technologicalized, and the world created by Sophia can be completely transformed into the real world through technical means."
Xiao Ran and Hades nodded at the same time, this time they expressed their understanding.
Xiao Ran said: "So, of course we must support this if it is beneficial to the entire territory."
"Just support me." Luo Weiwei waved his hand and said, "But the process of studying basic science is very difficult and boring. Maybe there won't be any progress for a long, long time, but once there is progress in one aspect, there will be a lot of progress. All aspects can be stimulated by this, but it also requires a huge investment in the early stage.”
Xiao Ran said: "Just find someone to make arrangements. The legion will give you the greatest support."
"The initial preparation will take at least a few years. There are too many things mentioned in this report. The key is that our own technical strength is actually very strong, so the requirements for the next step of research are higher. They applied Building a planet-level super-large collider, as well as other equipment that we have basically not studied, will be a more terrifying research investment than building a fortress like White Star. At the same time, most of the scientific research in the technology department will follow. All forces will shift their focus here to provide technical assistance."
Luo paused, looked at Xiao Ran and continued: "The impact is not small, so I was very careful about whether to pass this report at this time."
Xiao Ran said: "What does it matter? Time is the most indispensable thing for us. It is certainly a good thing that a short stagnation can bring about longer-term development."
Luo Tan spread his hands: "But we have no merit points and no money to buy time. If we purely use the resources in the territory to operate this matter, it is estimated that the normal development of many aspects will be affected in the next period of time."
"Well, this is indeed a problem." Xiao Ran nodded slightly and said: "Before, so many legions were integrated, and so many pilots were promoted at the same time, the combat points were almost used up, but we still have four I think I can get some money back with a mission card, so I’ll figure it out.”
"But this must be done. You go and arrange this, Kiliam. You from the Logic Research Department will be in charge."
What could Killiam say? He couldn't say anything, so the mission was his.
Luo felt helpless: "I knew you would leave it to me in the end, so what were you going to do?"
Xiao Ran said matter-of-factly: "I'm going to get money."
Luo took a breath: "Then those things that were traded in the end were not manufactured by my technical department!? How much volume are you going to take!?"
Xiao Ran waved his hand boldly: "Don't worry, things don't have to happen the same way. Anyway, the trade cooperation between the Shadow Blade Legion and the Bercia Legion will not be supported by the technical department. Let's get some merit points first and then come back. "
