Wandao long distance

Chapter 987 Measurement

Bai Lu was stunned. How did this person appear in his house?

Li Qi also looked at Bai Lu.

Bai Lu's appearance is average, just an ordinary face. As a fifth-rank practitioner, she did not deliberately make herself look good because there was no point. At this stage, she really didn't need to care about her appearance.

I have a good natural look, there's no need to change it.

People like Li Qi and Shen Shuibi basically use their natural looks, but some people like to give themselves a good-looking face. However, people of the same level can also tell whether it is natural or not, but few people care about this. It depends purely on personal mood, just like makeup.

Seeing Bai Lu’s expression, let’s have tea.

After taking a look, Li Qi handed over a cup of tea, took out some information about Bai Lu, and spoke to Bai Lu.

As if he was lecturing a primary school student who was a little slow to react, Li Qi said, "I have read your report. Now you want to solve the problem of this cave, right?"

Li Qi pointed at what was in the report and asked.

This report recorded one thing, which mainly said that Bai Lu found a way to transport about 1.5 billion people to a cave heaven through secret means, but during the transportation, due to sealing issues, problems occurred in the atmospheric structure of the cave heaven.

There is an imbalance in the anger.

The anger level is rising rapidly. If the anger level is allowed to continue rising, the people in this cave will die, so it cannot be allowed to continue rising.

However, if it is prevented from rising, there will be a huge risk. If the intervention fails, the entire planet may be frozen because the fire gas keeps the cave warm through the greenhouse effect.

This kind of subtle adjustment is difficult, so Bai Lu was thinking about technical issues yesterday. It is quite difficult to stably regulate the balance of these five elements. Even if there are sufficient resources to carry out the transformation, it requires the right level of technology.

"I don't quite understand why you would like to use fire to create a greenhouse effect to maintain the temperature?" Li Qi asked.

Bai Lu was confused, she had no idea where this person came from.

However, being able to appear here is a proof of ability, so Bai Lu still answered the other party's question: "Because their sun is very small and the efficiency is very low, they can only use this method. If they are closer to the sun, or the sun becomes hotter, they don't need the greenhouse effect."

Bai Lu then joked: "In fact, we just need to move the earth closer to the sun, or heat the sun."

Heating the sun, this was obviously a gag, but Li Qi actually nodded.

Li Qi said easily: "Yes, this is much easier than adjusting anger."

"You see, you only need to artificially create and control gravity. In the orbit around the sun, you only need to gently adjust the orbit of a gas giant planet. According to calculations, this can easily cause the gravity of the gas giant planet to be unbalanced and eventually fall into the sun."

"So, this can increase the sun's own gravity, causing the star to collapse slightly, and when the radiation pressure and gravitational pressure of the sun reach a balance again, the collapse will stop. In the new equilibrium state, the sun will radiate more heat, and if all the parameters are chosen correctly, this part of the increase will just make up for the heat loss caused by the failure of the greenhouse effect."

This new idea was just a casual answer for Li Qi. This question was not a difficult one for him, but it made Bai Lu's eyes widen.

This is indeed a...simple method, but one that few people would think of.

To come up with this solution, you only need one very simple thing, that is, "capacity".

Only a machine that can manipulate the sun like a toy can think of transforming a star, and it is even simpler. All that is required is the destruction of a gas giant planet.

For the sake of a rocky planet with a diameter of less than 20,000 kilometers, a gas giant planet with a diameter of 200,000 kilometers was destroyed. You should know that a ten-fold difference in diameter results in a volume difference of more than 1,500 times.

Then, through this 1,500-fold gap, it will go on to influence the star that is 1.5 million times larger than the rocky planet, just like a domino effect, using a small amount to achieve a big result.

Moreover, from a technical perspective of calculation, this is much simpler than regulating the atmosphere, because regulating the atmosphere requires calculating population emissions, natural emissions, and calculating every tree, all algae, and geological activities together, and the amount of data is very complex.

In comparison, it is very easy to calculate how much energy is needed to directly throw a gas giant planet into the sun. There are not too many complicated formulas, and all that is needed is resources.

  This requires more resources than regulating the atmosphere, but for Bai Lu, are resources really a big price to pay?

of course not.

So why hadn’t we thought of this solution before?

The reason came to her mind quickly.

Because the capacity is not enough.

Her capacity did not allow her to immediately think of using something that was one and a half million times larger than herself to accomplish a tiny task.

  Who is the man in front of me?

"This is really an amazing plan. In addition to its astonishing scale, its feasibility is also very surprising. What is your name? I'd be interested to continue chatting with you." Bai Lu said.

"My name is 'Li Qi'." Li Qi said.

  The moment this name came out, Bai Lu's pupils shrank!

Li Qi!

The name reminded her of the source of all her wealth.

"Yes, you guessed it right, that's it." Li Qi nodded.

Bai Lu's voice was a little hoarse. She was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. After thinking for a while, she found a sofa and sat down, saying, "Are you... coming to collect a debt from me? I took quite a lot of things from there."

"Of course not. You should have seen the message I wrote above when you went in. As long as you come out within four hours, there will be no consequences." Li Qi said with a smile.

"So why are you here?" Bai Lu asked Li Qi cautiously.

As a being born in the world, Bai Lu is very clear about the status of certain powerful people in this world, and she understands that she has entered the game.

"Qi Palace has existed long enough, and it has played a sufficient role. I have gained a lot of people like you. I need you to help me fight against the evil." Li Qi said.

"Us? Fight against the evil?" Bai Lu pointed at herself, looking confused.

real or fake?

Isn't that courting death? What level of existence is the Demon Dao? As a fifth-grade native of the world, she knows very well that the person in front of her, unless he says now that he is Haotian, everything else is nonsense.

Alas, when will the great being who can suppress the evil appear?

Her idol, Maudgalyayana, is very good at suppressing demons, but unfortunately he is alone and has no Taoist lineage, so it is difficult for him to fight against the evil.

As for Li Qi, he could easily read the other person's mind.

Yes. Buddhism has completely disappeared. Now in the eyes of these non-substantial beings, Buddhism has not existed since the moment this universe began.

However, those great Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and even the remaining four Buddhas have all become "individuals" and they no longer have their own lineage.

To be honest, Li Qi also felt very strange. There were still four first-grade masters in Buddhism, which was enough to support the existence of a great sect. But after the Buddha passed away, these Buddhas...

They also seemed to have lost their backbone, and they also seemed to be struggling with the existence of 'emptiness'.

Therefore, although the Buddha, great bodhisattvas, arhats, and monks still exist, Buddhism as a whole has obviously collapsed and disappeared.

The Demonic Path is no longer constrained, and today's Demonic Path is much more arrogant than the one Li Qi is familiar with.

Just look at City of Dreams.

The City of Dreams is only half the size of before, but it can accommodate several times more people. Li Qi knows what it looks like over there without even looking.

Even this was partly due to Li Qi's contribution, because this half of Li Qi's dojo had also become part of the 'hope' and 'dream', but Li Qi couldn't do anything...

What else can we do? Open the gate and let the demons in?

That's not bullshit, just expand the City of Dreams directly.

Therefore, Li Qi must use other methods to solve the problems of the Demonic Path, and this is what he is doing now.

"Yes, it's us." Li Qi nodded and said, "Why, are you scared?"

"I'm not scared, but I have a question." Bai Lu asked, "I have been fighting against the devil for a long time, but I still don't know what the devil thoughts are... What kind of situation can lead to the proliferation of devil thoughts?"

"Many years ago, a demon came to me and said, I have always wanted to fight against the devil, but I didn't know that my thoughts of fighting against the devil and chasing after idols are also part of the devil's thoughts. If I don't give up, sooner or later, I will be possessed by the devil."

When Bai Lu said this, she seemed to be suppressing some gloomy emotions: "So... Senior, I should call you that, right? If you need me to help you fight against the devil, you should tell me how to fight against this thought."

Li Qi nodded slightly.

good question.

This is indeed the reason why many people cannot understand evil thoughts.

Li Qize said: "Indeed, it can be said that all thoughts are essentially evil thoughts, but there are still differences. For example... there is actually a difference between wine tasting and alcoholism."

Even though the ingredients are the same.

So what's the difference?

Simply put, it is whether it can be controlled.

"You can simply divide it into two parts. One is the range that your rational intelligence can control, which is normal thoughts. As for those outside this range that cannot be controlled, they are evil thoughts that lead to the destruction of everything."

"But this classification is very rough and contains traps. For example... your rationality is actually part of your thoughts. When your rationality can suppress all thoughts, it also means that your rationality is about to turn into evil thoughts."

Bai Lu broke out in a cold sweat.

Can rationality also turn into evil thoughts?

But if you look closely, this seems to be a matter of course.

Reason is undoubtedly also a kind of thought. Even if it is not a thought brought about by emotions, there is actually no difference in essence.

Over-reliance on reason, allowing reason to suppress all passions, suppress all primitive instincts, suppress all likes and dislikes, and handle everything purely with a mechanical mind is itself suppressing other thoughts, and will eventually breed more terrifying things in the mind.

"So, what we should focus on is... balance?" Bai Lu asked tentatively.

Li Qi shook his head and denied it: "You are wrong. What you need to pay attention to is not to pay attention to anything and not to let a certain thought dominate. As long as there is no thought to dominate, then the evil thought will naturally not be able to control your behavior."

Bai Lu said, "If there is no thought to guide us, then we can't accomplish anything. After all, the thought of doing something must be the guiding thought before we can act, right?"

"Not necessarily, isn't it?" Li Qizhe revealed another possibility: "The simplest point is that sociality and animality are also something that many people have. For example, when you describe many people, you will say that their personalities are like birds, foxes, wolves or snakes in many ways, but they don't produce any special results."

"In these people, human nature and animal nature coexist peacefully and at peace. They even help each other. Some of them have achieved success and are envied by others. Their success should be attributed to a certain animal nature in them. For example,... describing him as ferocious like a wolf, rather than to his human nature, is a very common thing."

"So, you might as well accept the different parts of your mind. Human beings are inherently contradictory and chaotic. Why do you have to find a nature to restrain yourself?" Li Qi said.

What he said is also the way he is now using to curb his evil thoughts.

If every thought is restricted and there is no dominant one, then he will not be manipulated by any thought, even if there are evil thoughts, so what? Evil thoughts will never be able to dominate Li Qi's mind.

"Contradictory and confusing? In other words..." Bai Lu fell into deep thought.

She had never thought of it that way.

In her previous understanding, people should have subjectivity, and people have an "ontology" that exists, and this ontology is the source of all cognition.

But according to what this senior said, every thought of a person can be independent and does not have to have an entity.

is it possible?

Will it be schizophrenia?

"Okay, let's think about this later. Now, are you interested in joining my plan?" Li Qi asked.

Bai Lu nodded without hesitation: "I'll join, even though I don't know what I'm going to do, but our goals are the same. With a backer, I'll be able to do things better."

Li Qi took out a book: "That's fine, then let's do the first thing. Spread this thing into this half of the hot sand. This is called 'Buddhism', and it was written by a person called 'Tathagata'."

"Tathagata, who is that?" Bai Lu asked.

"Don't worry about it, just do it."
