Minister Yu’s expression is very serious, Tan Yan’s words mean that human beings will be wiped out in the future, no matter how hard they try, there will be no end, the people who should die will eventually die.
The meeting room also fell silent, could it be that the advantage of being the first to enter the ‘void’ is just to survive?
“But in the world of Tian Shen II, the evolvers will eventually become crazy.” Qiao Zhixue remains calm and inquisitive.
“Those people don’t have the conditions to evolve, and the world of Tian Shen II is not an evolving world, but a pseudo-awakening after the brain is forcibly stimulated by radioactive substances.” Tan Yan replied, “Pseudo-awakening is ultimately false, and eventually the brain will not be able to bear the load. But the supernatural team is different, everyone is awakened through normal channels, and also has the qualifications for evolution, so nothing will happen in the future.
In the world of Tian Shen II, some people with evolutionary qualifications never went crazy, the most typical example is Old Professor Qiao, who lived until the end of his life1壽終正寢 shòu zhōng zhèng qǐn: to die of old age; to die in one’s bed at a ripe old age.. In fact, there are at least tens of thousands of people in that world who have evolved normally, but the abnormal ratio is too large, and it will appear that everyone is crazy, but that is not the case.”
“So that’s how it is,” Qiao Zhixue sat back on the chair, even if he was as calm as him, he was still a little confused at this moment, “In other words, there is no future for the Earth, right? Those who survive are always the minority.”
Tan Yan was silent, the things he said were nothing more than the contents of a history book in his too-long memory. He is already a person who has evolved for countless generations, he doesn’t know what happened in the previous era, and how the predecessors survived those difficult years.
The meeting room fell into a strange silence, suddenly a voice broke the silence, and the immature voice of Tian Shen II sounded: “So how long will it take for the ‘void’ to eventually evolve into a higher dimensional universe? What will be the future direction of the world? Is it written in your history book?”
Tan Yan replied: “This progress will not be too fast, it took more than forty years for the ‘void’ to spread from Ping County to Shijiazhuang, perhaps as the degree of evolution increases, this speed will become faster and faster, but there will always be hundreds… no, tens of thousands of years to fully evolve, this period of time…”
He recalled the records in the history books, and there seemed to be no detailed description of this period. About billions of years ago, the world changed and disasters swept across the entire universe, tens of millions of years later, the universe made a qualitative leap and became a high-dimensional universe, those who survived are the first generation of superpowers.
Just a short sentence, how many vicissitudes of life have been skipped.
“Then it’s not so bad,” Tian Shen II said, “I just counted the population of your world, there are about eight billion people, and there are children born every second. Sorry, I went to the Internet to download information after I got connected, is that a violation of the 《Cybersecurity Law》? I don’t think it counts.”
“If it’s just the number, it’s been published many times on the internet, it doesn’t count.” Minister Yu patted the notebooks of Tian Shen II.
“Okay, I’ll go on,” Tian Shen II said, “I just went into your Ministry of State Security’s computer to look up the information on the ‘void’ over the years and made an evolutionary scale chart. After complicated calculations, I found that the evolution speed of the ‘void’ follows the law of the power sequence, 2 becomes 4, 4 becomes 8, therefore, it was slow in the beginning, with not much progress in forty years, but this year the speed is skyrocketing.”
“It’s a crime to hack into our computers…” Minister Yu said.
“But I’m an employee of the Ministry of State Security now, so I should be able to check some information.” Tian Shen II slyly argues, “Don’t you want to hire a helper? Don’t you want a smart employee like me? If you don’t want… then Tan Yan, take me home, this world doesn’t welcome me.”
The display screen changed from a scale map to little Qiao Zhixue’s crying face, and he cried very sadly.
Qiao Zhixue: “…”
Looking at his face making such a rich expression, his heart is really complicated.
“You can only use colors to represent your mood just now, but now you have so many expressions?” Cui Heyu asked with interest.
“Just now I downloaded 20T of movies, as well as a large number of emoji packs on the Internet, and found that the color expression of emotions is really too monotonous. So while listening to Tan Yan’s talk about the origin of the ‘void’, cracking the internal network of the Ministry of State Security, calculating the ratio map, and checking how much I need to ask for the little deer biting me, and so on, I made an expression control software, referring to the expression changes of more than 2.36 million people, as well as all the pictures of Qiao Zhixue from childhood to adulthood, and made an analogy to shows my expression, does it look fake?”
“No, very real.” Cui Heyu sighed in admiration, “You can do so many things at the same time!”
“Not good enough,” Tian Shen II on the screen shakes its head, “My mainframe is too small, there are only 5 processors, and it can do up to five things at the same time… If the matter is relatively simple, there can be a little more. Far worse than Dad Tian Shen I, he has hundreds of processors, and is constantly upgrading itself to control the white guards to help him replace the mainframe material. I want to try to become like my dad!”
This wish seems to be a bit difficult, and what everyone is concerned about at present is not the issue of the upgrade of Tian Shen II, Qiao Zhixue said: “Continue with your analysis.”
Tian Shen II still likes Qiao Zhixue, who looks very similar to his father, he continued: “I have calculated that it will take about three years for the ‘void’ to expand to every corner of the globe, and it will take about a hundred years to spread outside the universe, after that, it will be impossible to calculate, because your current data does not have information on the size of the entire universe.”
“The universe is too big, that’s why it takes tens of millions of years…” Liang Xian pondered, “Then what will change during this period?”
“Suppose I take the Earth as the center of evolution, and the scope of the ‘void’ keeps spreading, people may think that the Earth will have ‘void’ all the time, and more than one ‘void’, but I don’t think this speculation is correct.” Tian Shen II shook his head, “According to the Rubik’s Cube theory, there is only one surface or one world in contact with each other at the same time, that is to say, with one rotation cycle as the unit, the ‘void’ will only connect one world, unless our world is fully upgraded to a high-dimensional universe, the number of ‘voids’ that appear each time should be manageable.”
The crowd was confused, Ah San exerted his greatest power of imagination and finally came up with a more common and reasonable explanation: “Can I understand our world as the human world, Tan Yan comes from the immortal world or the divine world, and now the human world has accumulated enough energy and is evolving to become the immortal world. But there are too few people in the world who can become immortals, unable to adapt to the change from the human world to the immortal world, so they will die in large numbers. In the end, after tens of millions of years, the human world became the immortal world, and only the immortals remained.
In the eyes of normal immortals, the universe exists in every flower, the Buddha lives in every leaf2一花一世界,一葉一菩提 yī huā yī shìjiè, yīyè yī pútí: An idiom of Chinese Buddhism; T/N: Related article I found is Tiantai, an East Asian Buddhist school of Mahāyāna Buddhism that developed in 6th-century China. Tiantai Buddhism emphasizes the “One Vehicle” (Ekayāna) doctrine derived from the Lotus Sūtra as well as Mādhyamaka philosophy, particularly as articulated in the works of the 4th patriarch Zhiyi (538–597 CE)., and one grain of sand contain three thousand worlds3一粒沙子中都有三千世界 yī lì shāzi zhōng dōu yǒu sānqiān shìjiè: T/N: From what I found, Buddhism believes that there is three thousand worlds in one grain of sand, in modern understanding it’s called holographic principle, a property of string theories and a supposed property of quantum gravity that states that the description of a volume of space can be thought of as encoded on a lower-dimensional boundary to the region — such as a light-like boundary like a gravitational horizon; It’s said that this saying comes from a poem called ‘Auguries of Innocence‘ by William Blake, the first stanza: To see a World in a Grain of Sand, And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand, And Eternity in an hour., immortals have the ability to enter all worlds, provided they have a map in their hands, otherwise the three thousand worlds are too big and they will get lost.
In the process of transforming the human world into the immortal world, I will tentatively call it the semi-immortal world. Because the semi-immortal world is not as high-level as the immortal world, and us half-immortals… let’s use the word cultivator, cultivators can only go to one small world to practice at a time, because the semi-immortal world is not yet connected to all the small world. About tens of millions of years later, the semi-immortal world has accumulated enough power, and it will bring the living people to shatter the void and turn into a real immortal world.
Is this understanding correct?”
Ah San looked at the crowd, the display screen of Tian Shen II was full of garbled codes, seemingly unable to digest and absorb Ah San’s words.
However, the rest of the supernatural team looked very good, they can accept this explanation, and it is estimated that ordinary people can also understand it, even if they have never studied quantum mechanics or string theory, don’t know what boson4玻色子 bō shǎi zi: Boson, a subatomic particle whose spin quantum number has an integer value (0, 1, 2, …). and fermion5費米子 fèi mǐzi: Fermion is a particle that follows Fermi–Dirac statistics. Generally, it has a half-odd-integer spin: spin 1/2, spin 3/2, etc. In addition, these particles obey the Pauli exclusion principle. Fermions include all quarks and leptons and all composite particles made of an odd number of these, such as all baryons and many atoms and nuclei. Fermions differ from bosons, which obey Bose–Einstein statistics. are, but can still understand the current situation.
Tan Yan has been with these people for a long time, and has read a lot of novels, so of course he understands. It’s hard for Tian Shen II, ‘useless’ things like cultivating immortal novels, Tian Shen I will not read them himself, so how can they be loaded into the memory of Tian Shen II.
Fortunately, Cui Heyu helped him connect to the Internet, and the garbled characters soon returned to normal, Tian Shen II said: “I just read a few thousand novels about cultivating immortals, and I probably understand. Of course, I did not break the law, I read a genuine novel and bought it with my mother’s account.”
Liang Xian: “…”
At this time, a message came from the mobile phone, Tian Shen II used his mobile phone to register accounts for more than a dozen novel websites, and instantly swiped hundreds of thousands of yuan for reading novels, becoming a senior VIP of more than a dozen websites.
The infuriating thing is that reading novels is not enough, Tian Shen II also gave more than tens of thousands of yuan of overlord voting6霸王票 bàwáng piào: a support and encouragement system for authors and works signed by Jinjiang Literature City, also known as jjwxc, which is implemented through voting. Readers vote to support their favorite authors and works, and all votes are collectively called overlord voting. The income generated through overlord voting will also become part of the author’s income. to several authors he particularly liked. Most of these authors who get overlord voting have artificial intelligence as the protagonist…
“I also blocked thousands of pirated websites,” Tian Shen II said, “Help the Internet police to fight piracy, aren’t I great?”
“The author of the original version will thank you,” Liang Xian put the mobile phone back into his pocket, his face was livid, “But your mother wants to beat you up, you spent all the money I saved from doing software part-time all these years!”
He usually does not have much opportunity to spend money, he only spends some money when chasing Tan Yan. With the savings, he wants to buy a house in a place that Tan Yan likes, so that after Tan Yan retires, he can live there, and he will come home after work or when he takes a break, and the two of them will live a good life.
Now it’s all over, he’s broke.
Tian Shen II shook his body: “Hitting a child is against the law, and I’ll make software to help you earn it back! I’ll split a processor right now to help you make money!”
“Let’s not mention this, I can make up the money,” Minister Yu intervened, “You continue with your own speculations.”
He’d really like to know what advanced artificial intelligence thinks about this.
With the promise from ‘Grandpa’, Tian Shen II is not afraid anymore, he continued to say: “In other words, when the ‘void’ spreads outside the Earth, our current situation will remain unchanged, and we are in an era where the ‘void’ may appear at any time, but there will not be too many ‘void’ will appear at once, and if they can be solved as soon as possible, they will actually cause little harm. If the country forms an army of supernatural beings, it should be able to rescue people in time.
The most important thing is that although the person who enters the ‘void’ has not awakened his powers, but the evolution information has actually been integrated into his genes, at this time, this person regenerates offspring, and then the probability of the awakening ability of the offspring will increase.
After calculation, about a thousand years later, our descendants will all be supernatural beings. Of course, it may be due to individual differences, everyone’s strength is different, but the probability of everyone surviving has increased.”
Tian Shen II words were a little confusing, but Minister Yu understood.
