Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 958 The Great Explorer ([-]): Existence Paradox

"At some irregular points in time, the [voice] appeared in the ears of these people. They believed the guidance of the [voice] and made great efforts for the same goal, so the [Mechanical Ascension Secret Society 】The name is inevitably known, and the mobile phone has also entered the field of vision of mankind.”

Having said that, Chen Yan couldn't help interrupting:
"How does it feel to be one of these people?"

There is no need for the director to lie:
"You guessed it wrong, although the countless [lighthouses] I have built on the entire planet have become indispensable signal base stations for mobile phones, I have never heard [voices] myself.

Of course, I have come into contact with people who can hear the [voice] guidance, and the [Lighthouse] technology and most of the orders of Hongyue Starry Sky Technology Company come from this. "

It was unnecessary and disdainful for William Master to deceive, and Chen Yan's synaesthesia captured the staggering fact that "the director has never lied in his life".

After being briefly interrupted by Chen Yan, the director was not affected, and his logic was always clear:

"According to the investigation I conducted at the time, the data such as the time and place where [the sound] appeared did not conform to any known mathematical laws-[the sound] appeared randomly at every point in time, and in every corner of the world."

"It is worth mentioning that [the voice] not only appears in reality, but also in dreams."

"[The voice] told them what to do, so what they did became the foundation of the industry of the Society of Mechanics—these industries were not named after the Society of Mechanics, but the names of those who carried out the orders of the [voice], so Most people, even those as close to the truth as Netford, are insensitive to their presence."

Professor Lawyer echoed:

"I really don't have a chance to get in touch, and I can't find out if I inquire... Now that the world is declining and people's hearts are not old, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, everyone's mouth is very strict."

The gardener went on to say:

"With the help of [Voice]—or in other words, [Order], the Society of Mechanics has owned the physical property in the empire, but their goal doesn't stop there."

"Honestly, I don't know what they are going to do until now. The most prominent thing is the mobile phone. What are they going to use the mobile phone to achieve? We didn't know before, and now we have this octopus, Maybe you can learn some secrets from it—this is the reason why you should keep the octopus here, your giving up will have a value that is beyond your imagination, and you should be happy about it.”

Well, the director is still the familiar director.

The director quickly returned to the topic itself:

"The Mechanic Society, heh, even their own existence is a paradox."

In fact, Chen Yan still couldn't understand, but he saw that Professor Laoyer listened very seriously, so he had to bite the bullet and listen to the director's confusing remarks.

Maybe get some inspiration?

"First of all, we need to know that [sound] itself does not exist."

What the hell are you talking about... Since [Voice] doesn't exist, what you just said was a joke?
Professor Laoyer obviously noticed Chen Yan's broken heart, so he explained to Chen Yan:

"[Sound] does not exist, because sound is essentially a signal of vibration. The nature of this signal is frequency and loudness, rather than human subjective feelings-[sound] is just the human perception of [having a frequency. and Loudness] The subjective feeling of the signal, and the name based on the subjective feeling, and this name itself is wrong——

[Sound] itself is a wrong name, it does not exist by itself. "

Seeing that Chen Yan couldn't react all of a sudden, Professor Lawyer asked him:

"How does sound travel?"

Finally, he talked about what Chen Yan knew, so he immediately replied:

"Air or a solid and liquid medium."

Professor Lawyer said:
"Yes, sound travels through the medium in a way that [causes vibrations]—sound passes through the medium, causing vibrations in the cochlea, and these vibrations are converted into electrical signals by the stimulated cells, and when these electrical signals travel along the nerve When the system is transmitted to the cerebral cortex, people [become aware of the information]—this is the process of [people hearing sounds].”

Chen Yan was a little stunned.

Professor Lawyer saw the surprise in his eyes, so he concluded:
"So this whole process is totally just [propagation of a vibrational signal in a medium], not [sound] as we think of it.

The reason why we say [sound] is just because the concept of [sound] is easier to understand, and this kind of misunderstanding will not affect human beings, so it has become so popular. "

Chen Yan's pupils dilated, and then let out a long "Oh..."

The headmaster said on the side:
"Similarly, the concept of [time] has similar problems."

Professor Lawyer signaled the director to stop talking.

Chen Yan suddenly realized something, shook his head vigorously, and said to the director:

"What you mean is that the first batch of members of the Mechanic Society sensed a certain [vibration], so they knew the existence of the Mechanic Society and what they need to do in the future."

The director affirmed his guess:
"Yes."

Chen Yan asked again:

“Where did the [vibration] come from?”

When it came to this question, the director suddenly stopped answering.

He was actually summarizing the language.

After a brief silence, the principal spoke again:
"From ancient times to the present, there are usually two ways for human beings to explore the unknown—one is toward the sky, and the other is toward the center of the earth.

I used to think that the [voice] of the Society of Mechanics also came from these two paths, so I used some means to test the parameters of some members of the Society of Mechanics—this experiment was carried out for many years, until two years ago, [Lager Lange's Third Law] After it was born, I used it to calculate, and finally got results——

The [voice] of the Society of Mechanics neither comes from the sky nor from the center of the earth. "

William Master pointed to his chest with his right index finger.

"The [voice] of the Society of Mechanics comes from the heart of the people."

"Those voices back then were heard from the hearts of the first group of Mechanic Society members."

This kind of explanation is too unmaterialistic, and Chen Yan couldn't accept it at first:

"You mean... the [voice] of the Mechanic Society is actually just [delusions] produced by these people inexplicably, and they turned these [delusions] into reality?!"

The director actually affirmed Chen Yan's complaint:
"If there is no relevant theory of the deeper world, it is indeed just [paranoia]."

"But this time it's markedly different."

"Chen Yan, what do you think is the deeper world?"

Combined with the director's statement just now, Chen Yan immediately realized that this is a fucking philosophical question.

So he replies badly:

"It's the part of the world that ordinary humans can't see... It's almost like a different dimension... It's a place that has different rules from the current world, so it's hard to reach... It's another plane... It's other Dimensions of..."

Professor Lawyer covered his face.

Klein looked serious.

The principal frowned, and stopped him from continuing with an expression of "listen to what nonsense you are talking about":
"The deeper world does not exist in essence."

Chen Yan knew that his expression must be terrible:

"Is it the same as [Voice]..."

The gardener said:

"Yes, the so-called [deeper world] is just a forced definition of some incomprehensible place by the extraordinary society. It is actually completely wrong."

"In fact, we don't know where the deeper world comes from, and what kind of properties it has—because the nature of any deeper world discovered by humans so far is different—the rules of its operation It's all different."

"Among all the so-called [deeper worlds], [wilderness] is the first special existence, because [wilderness] is almost parallel to the real world we are in, and has the interface of our world-everything old in our world Things, eventually, sink into the [wilderness]."

"Using a more accurate thing to describe [wilderness] is [recycling bin]."

"And [The Unreachable Place] is the second special existence, because the things that appear in the [Unreachable Place] have made great changes to the real world we live in—we even have reason to believe that [The Unreachable Place] ] is what our world might become in the future.”

A flash of light flashed in Chen Yan's mind:
"Because [The Unreachable Place] is the BIOS, and [The World] runs based on the BIOS, so [The World] will show similar rules to the [Unreachable Place]."

There was a slight, fleeting surprise in the director's eyes:

"Yes, you got it right at last."

Chen Yan didn't know what to say.

The headmaster continued:

"Although the [Unreachable Land] and [The World] use almost the same set of rules—you can think of it as the same set of program instructions—but the rules do not represent the development process itself. There are many factors that affect the development process. The underlying rule is only the one with the greatest impact.

Even so, we cannot simply regard the situation shown in [The Unreachable Land] as the future of the world we live in. "

While speaking, the principal looked at Professor Lawyer.

The pupils of the latter dilated slightly, and he seemed inspired by something.

The gardener said:

"Still in the spirit of science, if we want to get accurate answers, we must perform calculations and correct reasoning based on objective laws, not just guesses."

"Now, we even have a method for calculation and correct reasoning - [Lagrange's third law], we can use this as a benchmark, use formulas and algorithms to simulate and calculate the BIOS and its rules, and even complete certain A certain degree of dataization, so as to know more clearly what the BIOS of the world is like, and know what we will face in the future."

Chen Yan asked:

"What exactly is [Lagrange's third law]?"

The headmaster took a sip of tea:

"[The result of any form of calculation has a constant interval that is infinitely close to the expectation]."

Chen Yan:

"translate."

The headmaster trembled as he put down the teacup.

Chen Yan dodged subconsciously—only slightly.

"In words that you can understand, when the simulator performs future calculations, there will always be several roads, and among these roads, there must be one that humans must tread."

After all, the headmaster put the teacup on the tea table.

"If you still don't understand, you can also say this: When we simulate and calculate the BIOS based on [Lagrange's third law], when the algorithm is established, we will draw several fixed conclusions. These conclusions There is one of them, which is the result of [this world] will definitely develop into an [unreachable place]."

Chen Yan finally understood.

"What about the other results?"

The gardener said:

"Other results are just [possibility], and one of them is [inevitability]."

Chen Yan asked:

"It means that each of these [results] calculated by the algorithm may become [inevitable]."

The director doesn't want to answer nonsense like this:
"If we can calculate the specific content of each [possibility], or most of the [possibility], we can avoid some risky options and choose the option that is most beneficial to human beings."

The director raised his hand and pointed at the octopus:

"At the moment we have to pass this little thing."

It wasn't until this time that Chen Yan finally understood the director's thoughts——

People have known the BIOS of the world for a long time: the existence of [Inaccessible Land], but they don’t have a deep understanding of it. It was not until the appearance of [Lagrange’s third law] two years ago that people verified something. Some conclusions have been drawn, but these conclusions cannot be practiced until the appearance of the octopus, a special existence that can exist between the [deeper world] and the [unreachable place], [Lagrange's third law] Finally, the study of octopus can be given practice.

According to the meaning of the director, in the process of practicing with octopus, people may know what the "deeper world" is, and what the "ultimate meaning" of BIOS is to people's existence in this world.

In the final analysis, [Lagrange's third law] is only theoretical science, not practical science. Then, in the process of using [Lagrange's third law] for practice, other problems will inevitably arise... But that has already It is not something that Chen Yan can touch.

Everything was explained, and the atmosphere around the tea table fell silent. The headmaster was drinking high-strength tea cup after cup like his life, while Chen Yan was caught in contemplation and constant shock. Professor Lawyer looked deeply, Klein looked at the tea table with dull eyes, looking lost.

After a while, Chen Yan came back to his senses and said:

"The octopus is fine to stay."

It's useless if I want this thing.

"I want to ask you to help me to see Klein's situation."
