The situation of world fragments is more complicated than we imagined.
The probes released before have touched the edge of this broken world, and this morning, the shadow city sent back the processed detection data, just as expected at the beginning, the volume of the world fragments is limited to this unknown The city and a fairly small area outside the city, within the city limits, the entire fragment remains basically stable, while in the fringe area, close to the end of the world, drastic changes are always taking place, and the degree of confusion of all information there On average, every meter extended outward will increase by nearly twenty times, and the entropy value will skyrocket from normal to the limit of maintaining the stability of the world within a distance of less than half a kilometer. Matter and energy will directly lose their stability outside the turbid boundary. , turning into a pot of thick soup in heat death, in the fuzzy description map drawn by the probe, this world fragment is like a group of "objects" whose density decreases sharply from the inside to the outside, and its inner city is stable Solid, the suburbs outside the urban area are turbulent but still tangible **, the outer edge of the suburbs is a chaotic air mass, and beyond... is the end
This bizarre phenomenon aroused Tavel's strong research interest, but it made us (well, in fact, the idea of my sister and Sandora) a relatively concise world model that we had previously guessed was completely negated.
In our original idea, the world fragment should be a self-explainable information collection with a shell similar to the world barrier. This model is called a "self-enclosed" world, and the information inside it is bound, because The collision of the two worlds will cause a partial leak, which will affect our real world. In this way, as long as a small void shock can be triggered in the void plane, the two worlds can be separated, thereby interrupting the pollution of the law, but the current situation Yes, the world that was originally set to be closed has become open, and the pollution of the law has changed from piercing to diffuse...
don't understand? Well, to put it in a simpler way, which is more difficult, pulling out a needle from the arm, or turning the needle into iron sand and mixing it into the meat, and then picking out one by one
Sandora used this example to let me understand what is called the law of diffuse pollution...
The worst scenario at present is that the two worlds have not actually collided, they are still floating on two infinitely near and infinitely far points in the endless void, and the world fragments that have lost the world barrier are evaporating , the information it emits evaporates in the form of super-macro waves (an enhanced version of the World Information Projection, compared with the latter, the super-macro waves are like a 100-megabit fiber optic cable standing proudly in front of a dial-up connection, NB), It radiates any world in the void that is similar to its own information characteristics, that is, the earth plane.
Since there is no concept of distance in the void, and all "closer" and "farther away" are based on the approximation of the world's laws, then this radiation must have polluted every plane similar to the earth in the endless void at the same time, even if they The "distance" between them was so far away that both Asida and Asidora could vomit blood.
This bad conjecture was quickly confirmed. The imperial contingent stationed in the forbidden world sent back reports of abnormal events happening around the world. Those events were originally thought to be caused by the activities of magicians or superpowers, but After we passed the conjecture of "large-scale pollution" to the shadow base, Sandora ordered the task force to re-analyze every abnormality in the forbidden world. Or other than those related to superpowers, nearly 90% of the remaining abnormal events may be polluted by world fragments.
Saten and Lola also reported to us in the morning the abnormal events that took place in Academy City and the puritanical sphere of influence in England. This girl (uh... let's assume that Lola is seventeen forever) is very disturbed, and due to the special force composition of the forbidden world, the abnormal phenomena that permeate the world may trigger the magician who has just become peaceful at any time. Another conflict broke out with the superpowers. At present, Laura and Aleister Skeleton Walker, who has become our slave, are ordered to appease the soldiers under their respective forces. Saten is also helping. The exposed identity of "Alien Special Envoy" currently has a lot of influence in Academy City, and even slightly surpassed the limelight of a group of LEVEL5. As a place where a large number of superpowers gather, it has long been faintly spread in Academy City Ruiko Saten, who is a student, stood up to appease people at this time, obviously Biaresta is very useful-to be honest, I really didn't expect that girl with vitality who went to Shadow City to see mermaids all day long can play such a big role.
And leaving aside the annoyance that there may be multiple worlds threatened, another thing is also a headache, and compared to the former, the latter is full of urgency:
Fragments of the world Artemis and the others live in are evaporating.
We don't know how the fragments of this world remained stable before, but now its evaporation is absolutely abnormal. According to this trend, I am afraid that it will not be long before the entire fragments of the world are completely finished. In fact, in the detection of the probe , the volume of this world has shrunk by about one percent compared to when we first arrived, and the shrinking speed is still accelerating.
Fifteen days later, the volume of the fragmented world will be only one block. If its evaporation is uniform, this block will be exactly where we are now. That is to say, even with the most optimistic estimate, Artemis and the others There are only fifteen days left.
Leaving aside the clueless separation of the world, the second action that was just put on our agenda has encountered unprecedented resistance before it even started: how to save Artemis and her partners
Regarding the basic mechanism of the birth of world fragments, Tavel has recently deduced the most likely model, that is, the main material plane is under a high-intensity attack of destructible laws in a very short period of time, and all existences are resolved in an instant Dissociated information, but due to unknown reasons, these information did not dissipate, thus forming world fragments.
In other words, the current Artemis seems to have sent radio signals from the antenna (this analogy may not be appropriate), and then the antenna that can continuously strengthen the signal and continue to transmit is suddenly cut off, leaving only The initial radio wave is still wandering in the space, although the radio wave has not dissipated, it has already inevitably started to attenuate during transmission.
The only difference from the radio waves is that the ghosts in the world fragments cannot be received by a wireless network card and then saved to the hard disk...
For the samples we collected from the fragments of the world (that is, those "citizen" ghosts without sanity), both Bubble and Tavel expressed helplessness. Such ethereal information collections are already dead things in the strict sense, and they even It doesn't exist, it's just a memory. No one can physically preserve a memory that is about to disappear - why don't you send a special task force to catch Emiya Shiro back and try
Uh, I admit that I just serialized again.
In short, it is impossible to preserve the information ghosts of Artemis and the others in a conventional way, just like you say "tomatoes stewed noodles", and then the voice of this sentence cannot really be heard halfway through the transmission. It’s like turning into a bowl of noodles and falling on the table with a pair of chopsticks (Note: The above is a magical metaphor from Sandora).
And the fact that the ghost samples collected by us dissipated within a few seconds after entering the main material plane also indirectly proves the unreliability of using simple means to connect Artemis to life in the shadow space. It is impossible to live forever in a strong magnetic field with fragile radio waves that cannot be relied upon. This is how my USB flash drive was ruined... I digressed again.
In short, there are many difficulties, the savior is really not a job for humans
"You are no longer human"
Lilina, who was sitting beside me with sleepy eyes, didn't forget to turn her head and complain to me even when she was in a daze, but I groaned.
"Well... you don't love loli, it's not a good lolicon to just slap and not feed lolicon"
Just keep me a bit of integrity as a clergyman for Ding Dong's sake, my lord Ding Dong is fooling the whole world, bastard
"Hmm... My head hurts... Daddy, Lilina wants to hug..." Less than a minute after being honest, Lilina muttered again in a daze, and then groped to come over here.
"Hey I'm driving" I tried to steer the wheel as I fought against the maybe tiny arms and legs of some hangover-dizzy faux lolita, "There's…"
"Boom"
"Wow..."
The 700 billion with psionic shields smashed through the unlucky shop blocking the way, and moved forward at an unabated speed. Behind us, the shop with a big hole has begun to recover slowly.
Well, now there is nothing ahead.
"Heheha... 700 billion mighty say..."
What a headache, how could I have such a difficult boss as Lilina? God knows why this girl's wine tastes so weird, she's fine after drinking that night, but she wakes up the next morning to be crazy about drinking
In contrast, the elder sister who is still sleeping in the house because she was dragged by Lin Xue to take a sip of beer is much cuter, even though the drunken elder sister was tricked by Lin Xue about countless embarrassing experiences when I was a child It's a very regrettable thing-I'm 200% convinced that it was all planned by Lin Yatou. Not everyone knows about the miraculous drinking capacity of my elder sister.
While driving the 700 billion towards the predetermined direction, I had to be on guard against the surprise move of the drunk loli next to me at all times, and fought with Lilina in the driver's seat along the way, regardless of the lack of traffic on the road. I was stunned to drive out the feeling of a Hollywood car battle blockbuster
Last night, I really should have looked at this girl carefully. To be a loli, you must have the self-consciousness of a loli. She obviously doesn't hold a lot of alcohol, but she also went to drink with the group of awakened people. In the end, if it wasn't for Lingyin, she would come here quickly Report, this guy may have to make himself suffer from stomach bleeding. Now thinking about the scene where Lilina, who turned around and went back to drink, stood on the table in front of the campfire, drank it high and then collapsed, I still feel Liver pain.
"Hmph... Boss, I'm an adult, of course I can drink... Well, don't start, say something loving to loli..."
Forget it, let this unscrupulous fool get drunk to the end of the world
Even if we didn't turn on the buggy engine like space jump to enjoy the fun of driving, under the astonishing speed and maneuverability of 700 billion, we still approached the suburbs in less than half an hour after leaving the bustling roads in the city. It was the result of me obeying the traffic rules all the way. If Pandora was driving, she would probably aim at one direction, step on the accelerator to the bottom, follow the rule of the shortest straight line between two points and rush directly to the destination. As the surrounding buildings gradually thin out, There are more and more large wastelands that can only be seen in the suburbs. I reached out and patted Lilina who was already sleeping soundly on my shoulder again: "Girl, wake up, we have arrived."
"Hmm... hug from grandpa and boss..."
This girl's character change in a confused state is really speechless. Although the malicious and cute priestess is also quite loving, Lilina in a natural black state at least has a pause switch, doesn't she
With a black thread on my head, I didn't care how Lilina, who was wriggling over like a big bug, protested, I pushed the door and got out of the car, and then slipped this confused Priestess out from the other side, throwing off my arms Shaking a certain loli back and forth in the cold morning wind in the suburbs.
"Wow, Boss, Boss, I was wrong, don't throw it away, I will definitely fly away... ah"
Ah, it really flew out
Lilina, who went out in a parabola, finally didn't forget her old profession. She waved her small hand in mid-air, and immediately summoned a huge lotus flower above her out of thin air—huh? above
Speechlessly watching Lilina hit the ground with a series of exclamations, and then the huge lotus flower that I originally summoned as a cushion but turned into a falling stone due to a wrong position made a second-stage attack. The entire life system is in despair, so is this girl here today just to show off her cuteness
After foolishly climbing onto the lotus and floating over, Lilina scratched her head in embarrassment: "Hey, it was an accident just now."
"Are you awake?" I looked at Lilina's big eyes that had regained their shrewdness in surprise. Just now, this girl was dizzy because of a hangover. Why is she resurrected with full blood now
"Just remembered, it turns out that the power of life can soothe a hangover." Lilina continued to scratch her head.
"Laugh at your sister." I slapped the other party with a hand knife. Since I know how to hangover, you should think about it earlier. Do you know how much integrity you have sold along the way
"It's really desolate here." Lilina ignored the knife in my hand and looked around at the surrounding suburbs. "Ah, boss, why did you hit me?"
are you in sylvia
This is already the edge of the fragments of the world. It is located in a hilly area in the western suburbs of the city. About a hundred meters in front of us, there is a confused fog. The road twisted into a weird spiral there, stretching all the way to the sky, and there were many vague shadows beside the road, which could not be seen clearly due to the obstruction of the fog.
And at the junction of the stable space and the white mist, a truck parked there showed us the danger at the end of the world more intuitively: the front half of its front was still intact on the road, and then Half of the car body is a pile of parts floating in mid-air, bringing a sense of fragmentation to the witnesses.
Lilina didn't need my reminder, she had already started her own ceremony, she jumped to the ground nimbly, and took out a large handful of black and green balls from her portable space, tender green vines automatically grew out from under the little girl's feet, and began to grow rapidly The ground spread to the surroundings, and after a while, a magic circle with a radius of more than ten meters was formed. This kind of magic circle composed of divine magic is completely different from ordinary magic circles. Mysterious runes slowly emerge from its branch nodes. When I came out, a spherical rune structure gradually formed. According to the common sense of magic that the other party told me when I was chatting with Jaina before, the three-dimensional structure of the magic circle is extremely difficult to master. Using energy to draw the second layer of runes in midair It is enough to win a very high honor in Dalaran, and even the former Antonidas failed to master the four-layer three-dimensional rune, and now the magic circle created by Lilina is only more than ten meters in radius, but This dizzyingly complex structure... um, mother, this means that it takes a day to render in 3D modeling, right
After shedding her eccentric appearance in the past, Lilina, who had activated the divine spell, looked a little serious now. The little girl was suspended in mid-air, throwing a few black balls in her hand to the inner wall of the spherical circle. Then he snapped his fingers when he was done, and threw green beans into his mouth while turning his head to ask for credit: "Boss, it's done... Eh? Why is there no response?"
Me: "... what you are eating now is the seed of life, idiot, didn't you realize that the ones floating in the magic circle are chocolate beans?"
"Ah... haha... mistake, mistake," Lilina scratched her hair in cold sweat, and then used a rough method that would scare any professional mage out of the shit, and replaced the chocolate beans on the magic circle with the ones that contained divine power. seed.
"Well, it's done this time." Lilina clapped her hands happily, "As long as the white mist touches this magic circle, the World Tree Temple can immediately reverse trace the path of information evaporation. Maybe we can use this method Find a way to stop evaporation."
"En," I nodded, but I set my sights on the white mist not far away. Now it is a little closer. The truck that was half swallowed just now has all become floating parts. The border slowly drifted, "I was wondering, shall we go and have a look?" X
