goddess of revolution

Chapter 269 The Prophecy of the Witch of Destiny, Xia An Will Die?
Laplace demon?How does it feel like "Schrödinger's cat"?

At least it rhymes...

Although Li Qi didn't understand, he was instinctively right.

"It probably means that..."

Little Red Riding Hood made a brief introduction, and Li Qi got a general idea.

In the earth world, a mathematician named Laplace made a hypothesis to explain his determinism.

He assumed a demon with infinite computing power, thinking that as long as the demon knows the current position and momentum of every atom in the universe, he can calculate all the things that have happened in the past, are happening now and will happen in the future in the entire universe.

"You mean, Nista, the goddess of fate, is Finn's version of Laplace's demon?"

Li Qi shrugged: "Although I failed the physics elective course twice in college, I also know that the smallest unit of matter that makes up the world is not an atom. If you go further down, according to the principle of quantum uncertainty, it is impossible to measure every particle at the same time. The positions and momentums of elementary particles."

"In addition, the premise of infinite computing power does not exist. Computing must rely on matter and energy to achieve. Infinite computing power, even if the matter and energy of the entire universe is invested, it cannot be realized."

Little Red Riding Hood said angrily: "When you show off your knowledge of physics, please remove the words 'I don't know physics'!"

She said again: "That's right, because of the emergence of quantum mechanics, the assumption of Laplace's demon based on Newtonian mechanics has been shattered. But that is the earth world, and this is the Finn world, and the laws of the world are different!"

"Here, science... I mean, whether it is the cognition of the objective world or the attainment of social and humanities, it is still stuck in the Middle Ages."

"The wise men here believe in absolute rationality, including simple atomic theory, plus mathematics and logic. Together, they will inevitably lead to determinism. What is the inevitable inference of determinism? It is Laplace's demon."

"Determinism is the rational side, and the emotional side is fatalism. Even in the earth world, most people believe in fatalism, and even more people believe in the world of Finn. The difference is that in the world of Finn, the mind will produce power, Faith in fatalism gathers the power of faith, giving birth to the priesthood of destiny."

"However, the nature of Goddess of Destiny is different from that of pain, death, and Vulcan. She has a rational side, which is the determinism just mentioned, which makes Goddess of Destiny have two sides like the magic net."

When Little Red Riding Hood mentioned the magic net, Li Qi understood it.

There are also two types of magicians who rely on magic nets to cast spells. One is to use rational understanding of magic rules, guide magic power through magic nets, weave spell models, and cast spells.For such a magician, the magic net is a cold and detached existence.

The other type touches the magic rules sensibly and pulls the magic power with faith.In the minds of such magicians, the magic net is the embodiment of a god, that is, Mystra, the goddess of magic.

Of course, magicians do not strictly distinguish between these two categories. Most of the time, magicians are both rational and emotional.Faith makes up for lack of rational knowledge, and magicians shout Mystra is above all the time, that is not a meaningless behavior.Only an arcanist who refuses to bow to the gods will rely solely on reason to cast arcane spells.

"Determinism means that the rise and fall of everything in the world is connected by cause and effect, and has a fixed trajectory. Fatalism means that the fate of mortals is part of these trajectories. Before you were born, or even before human beings appeared, your destiny was determined. It has been arranged that the two together make Nista, the goddess of fortune."

Little Red Riding Hood's summary is easy to understand. Li Qi feels that if the goddess of fate goes to the earth world, she will definitely gain more than 50 billion believers.The science of the earth world has already penetrated into the quantum world, but most people's understanding of the world is still in the Newtonian era.

There is nothing shameful about this. Li Qi has been working for three years, and his mathematics has degraded to the junior high school level, which does not affect him as a kind magician.

Little Red Riding Hood continued to explain: "The Laplace demon is an ideal hypothesis. Even if the basic law of Finn's world is Newtonian mechanics, you just said that the premise of infinite computing power cannot exist. And the Laplace demon The premise of existence is omniscience, which conflicts with the existence of omniscience. Therefore, Nista is just a COS...simulation of the Laplace demon, and she is always incomplete."

"In this way, Nista can't form a stable thing like the magic net. If the foundation is unstable, there will be no stable will. The body of the goddess of fate has always been unpredictable. Everyone thinks that she is mysterious, but it is actually because of her The ontology of the body has never been stable, and there is no overall, clear will."

"She may be extremely rational in some fields and condense a stable will, such as the constellation lady Yi Keli Cui who is believed by the astrologer. Perhaps in some fields, the sensibility shown can reap the power of stable belief, and there will also be stability. Wills, such as Lady Luck and Ms. Fortune, are actually two stable wills formed after Nista split them."

Li Qi took a breath: "This should be a very secret anecdote about the gods, and you actually know it all?"

"What kind of look is that in your eyes? Don't say what you mean! I deduced it from the conversation between you and Vicky!"

Little Red Riding Hood said angrily: "There is no such thing in the information of the omniscient, just some vague guesses."

Li Qi hurriedly made amends, then scratched his head: "Then the question is, Vicky's current state should be part of Nista's body, but what field is it, and why is it corrupted?"

"We have to figure out what the corrupt artifact that turned Vicky into a witch is," said Little Red Riding Hood, "Didn't you ask?"

Li Qi pointed to the top of his head, and the projection played back to a certain segment, and Li Qi happened to ask this question.

"You don't have to know, it means nothing to you and the goddess," Vicky said in a tone similar to Xiaobing.

"Well, I feel that even if this guy is purified, it will be troublesome." Little Red Riding Hood also had a headache: "If I am still so high above, I can imagine some scenes, it will make me very angry, and I can't help but beat her up." Against my brother's life!"

Li Qi could also imagine...

"The fate of mortals is predetermined, and your efforts are meaningless." If Vicki were to say that, Li Qi and Little Red Riding Hood would really kill her.

"I think the problem lies in Vicky's mortal will," Little Red Riding Hood's eyes suddenly lit up.

Li Qi sighed: "We can only wait until we get her... Uh, I mean, we can save her. She can still retain a little bit of mortal will, but Baizold let her calculate our details and came into contact with your divine power Otherwise, after that reckoning, her mortal will would have disappeared and she would have turned into a complete monster, but she still regarded this as her predestined destiny."

Little Red Riding Hood followed with a sigh: "Alright then, let's talk about her after we get her."

Li Qi said not so sure: "Vicky... can't just leave it aside now, she made a prophecy for me."

The projection switched to another conversation, and Li Qi still didn't believe that Vicky was Nista, the goddess of fate, just like he didn't believe in good fortune telling, and asked her to show her skills.

Vicky said: "The world line around you will soon have a slight disturbance, which is caused by the sudden disappearance of a powerful existence that is entangled with your fate."

Li Qi was a little confused about the world line, but the so-called "powerful existence" was very clear. Vicki added: "That existence is at least a legend."

Little Red Riding Hood frowned: "Soon there will be a legend you know who will be finished? Who will it be?"

There are only a few legends that Li Qi knows, not counting the dead kings. The friendly side is Teresia, Sylvie, Numanel, Hathaway, and Rowena. The enemy is only one Kota, and A neutral Xia An.

Among these legends, those who meet the standard of "fate entanglement"...

Little Red Riding Hood hissed: "It can't be Teresia?"

Li Qi was also a little anxious: "If it was her, wouldn't it be a slight disturbance?"

"That's true, and it's talking about the world line around you. It should be what happened on the Shenyun Plateau."

After Little Red Riding Hood said that, there was only one person left, Xia An.

But how could Xia An meet the standard of "fate entanglement"?
"Hey! You really took her prophecy seriously!"

Little Red Riding Hood finally came to her senses: "If her predictions come true, the world is set in determinism and fatalism. Why are we doing revolution!?"

"But there is an extraordinary power here..."

Li Qi was still worried: "In the earth world, when we left, didn't big data and other things have been able to predict crimes? Here, it is not too far-fetched to predict who will die soon, right?"

Little Red Riding Hood clasped her head in panic and groaned: "Damn supernatural power! The productivity shown in certain things has reached the end of Datongism! This makes our revolution as difficult as dancing on plum blossom piles!"

did you really do that...

When the two of them were having a difficult time calming down and were relatively speechless, Li Qi twitched.

"There must be something down there, Fenny is tickling me..."

Little Red Riding Hood waved her hand: "Go ahead, I'll dance a few laps with Qiuxiang and Huamei."

Body and mind united, Li Qi opened his eyes, and it was indeed Fei Ni.

"There is something urgent! I called you for a long time, but there is no response!"

Fini said, "A paladin merchant came and said he wanted to interview you."

Paladin businessman, what a strange profession, from Xia'andia?

Thinking of Vicky's prophecy, Li Qi's heart trembled. Could it really be Xia An?

"Ah, what a fun thing! You all have it, why don't I!"

"We are on a mission, so don't count on those who can only squat in the barrier."

"I entered the first battle order last time!"

"This is to see the magician. People like you who hate wearing spider silk underwear and soft armor can't go. In fact, it's nothing. There's nothing to see anyway."

"Although I don't understand what you're talking about, it's definitely not a good thing for you to laugh so disgustingly!"

Fini's attention turned to the gadgets in Tina and the others' hands. Zold sent a bunch of small golems, just like the automatic toys in the earth world, and the two friends also started their daily quarrel mode.

It was only then that Li Qi remembered that Zold had also given something to Catherine, so he took out the gift box from the interspatial ring and handed it to Catherine... Hey, it changed back to Ellie.

Ellie took the box without even looking at it, and stuffed it directly to Fei Ni, which calmed down the couple.

Elle is still good...

Li Qi couldn't help reaching out and wanted to rub Ellie's head again. Ellie shook her head to avoid it, but hugged Li Qi's arm again, and followed him to the portal.

"What a... idiot..."

Tina watched the two leave, then looked at Fei Ni who was happily unpacking the gift box, and muttered in a low voice.

In Beta City, in the living room of the newly renovated civic center, Li Qi received Nicole Hector, a paladin from Xia'andia.

The surname and hair color made Li Qi think of another paladin. He didn't even bother to say hello to her in the previous public trial meeting, and he still had to settle old accounts with her.

The ponytail girl paladin said angrily, "Nama is my sister!"

"Duke Prior, although we are meeting for the first time, we already have a lot of personal grievances!"

The girl was very straightforward: "But I'm here to discuss business. As the quartermaster of Xia'andia, I will put aside my personal grievances and uphold a fair heart..."

She's such a cute little girl, it would be great if paladins were all this cute.

Although the other party may be as old as him, but he is so cute and well-behaved, so that Li Qi, whose soul age is in the second half of the 20s, subconsciously regards him as a junior.

"And my own justice!"

Uh... what is personal justice?
"Let's talk about the debt first. The duke said that the uncle destroyed fourteen restraining ropes, six hundred gold bushels each, for a total of eight thousand four hundred gold bushes."

That's right, fly legs are also meat, and they can be stolen for a fortune.

"But according to my research, the market price of the kind of rope that uncle destroyed is at most 150 gold bushes! If you calculate the depreciation, the value is only half of the goods. I can only compensate you a thousand gold bushes at most, and you must Give me the scrapped rope!"

Hiss... so ruthless!He is more ruthless than Xiaolongnv!

"In addition, we in Xia'andia don't have much cash, so we can only pay with magic ore. The list is here, and the duke can choose the ore of equivalent value to deduct. Or make a barter transaction with us first, and then offset this fee. "

I know you Xiaandian paladins are a bunch of poor...

Li Qi took the quotation list, looked at it for a few times, and suddenly felt angry and bloody. Suddenly, he thought he saw the catalog of commercial associations specially designed to trap novice customers that Xiaolongnv handed over to him when they met for the first time!

He couldn't help but sneered: "Mythril ore is ninety gold bushels per kilogram!? It's three times the market price! Your Xia'andia ore is chewed out with your mouth, and I can find a few that are full of blood and saliva Tooth?"

"Most of this batch of ore was dug by the uncle himself. The ore dug by Legendary himself should have more added value."

With her hands behind her ponytail, she shook her body and said, "Of course, justice in business is a compromise between you and me. This is also vowed justice. My sister said that it is one of the four justices you have defined, so the price can be slow. Let's talk slowly."

Xia An digs mines by himself?

Li Qi's impression of Xia An has improved a bit, wait a minute, the point is not this, this ponytail girl is ten times more proficient in business than Xiaolongnv!

Such a little girl is really not cute.
