I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 481 Beyond the Cave
What is the speed of light?

Hearing these words, Luden fell into silence.

Sometimes, a lot of information can be gleaned from the question alone.

Luden immediately captured the most important information - the speed of light in the opponent's world is different from the speed of light in his own world!
Two worlds?

Multidimensional universe?

parallel world?

No, maybe it's not that complicated.

Luden closed his eyes in pain, he had already guessed the answer.

They are in the same world, the same universe, but in areas with different speeds of light
In other words, the speed of light in the nebula universe is slower!
The opponent modified their speed of light.

Light, used to be faster.

When the other party broke through this point, the entire universe became a huge prison. Luden and the others were the prisoners who touched the edge of the prison, and this touch brought them great pain and torture.

Especially when facing the truth, not everyone has the courage and ability to face this fact.

Just standing here and having a conversation with the other party is already an extremely remarkable thing.

It is precisely because of understanding this that the other party will show enough respect to Lu Deng.

After thinking about it carefully, Luden could understand that all of this was foreshadowed.

When they were in [Brave New World], they had struggled with one thing for a long time, and that was whether Brave New World could reach the speed of light.

It was later discovered that Brave New World is actually composed of photonic computers, and light is originally the speed of light.

They thought this was over.

But Luden is still very concerned about this matter, because the speed of light is an important indicator for considering the development of civilization and technology.

Also, it stands to reason that after reaching the speed of light, the theory of space-time should have new developments.
But what did Luden see?
On the one hand, the Nebula Empire easily surpassed the speed of light, realizing super-light speed navigation and information transmission.

On the other hand, the theory of time and space is standing still, and the speed beyond the speed of light does not seem to have brought about much change. It seems that it is just a technological update without any waves.

This is contradictory.

Until today, the other party solved Lu Deng's doubts with a question.

Their speed of light is not the speed of light in the universe, nor is it the fastest speed of light.

It is precisely because of this that they can easily exceed the speed of light without affecting space-time
The seemingly contradictory point, at this moment, has realized logical self-consistency.

In other words, the Nebula Empire never really reached the speed of light!
Luden opened his eyes again.

Pain, struggle, heaviness...these things are swept away.

There was still peace in Luden's eyes, as calm as an abyss.

He didn't follow the other party's guidance and asked the question [what is the speed of light].

Luden changed the question.

"Can any of us or you reach your speed of light?"

The man shook his head helplessly,

"No."

Luden sighed, "I see."

Two questions, Luden got two important pieces of information in exchange.

The real speed of light is faster.

No one can reach the true speed of light.

Even they can't.

What this means is self-evident.

The world outside the cave, the real universe, is colder, crueler, and more real.

"That's the end of the question and answer."

The man looked at Lu Deng and said calmly,
"We are also surprised that you can get to this point. Maybe you are special."

"I don't think there's anything special about it."

Luden shook his head and sighed again.

After knowing the truth, he sighed more times than in the past ten years.

He sighed for his own civilization, and he also sighed for the civilization of the other party.

After going through all this, and finally getting such an answer, no one would sigh.

"So, what's the point of all this?"

This time, Lu Deng didn't ask questions, nor did he ask and answer himself, it was more like emotion.

Even so, the man still answered the question.

"It has never been able to exceed the true speed of light. The civilization of our universe has always been in an atomic state, and there will be no civilization whose territory spans galaxies. In your theory, such a state should be regarded as the great screening of the universe.

Even so, we have still developed a civilization with highly advanced technology, and continue to advance with the goal of achieving the speed of light
Some of the scientists - call it in your parlance - thought that we should try to slow down the speed of light, and then go beyond the slower speed of light, to see if we could find inspiration in that, and so we did. "

The world Luden lives in is more like a test field?

Their slower speed of light is just an experimental area for the other party.

Luden frowned slightly,

"Slow down the speed of light. Can you make the speed of light faster? I'm not talking about the speed of light in our world, but in your world."

The man shook his head, "No."

Luden suddenly smiled, "You know, from just now, what we're talking about is very civil, more like a guy who has only received nine years of compulsory education talking nonsense, it has nothing to do with science, not even science fiction." In fact, it should be considered magical, or fantasy."

The man pointed out sharply,
"Mr. Luden, please forgive me. Your level of physics is no different from that of junior high school students in the 21st century. His test scores may be higher. I have been communicating with you in a way that you can understand. Of course , you can take these as crazy talk, just an interesting chatter."

Luden nodded,

"Understood, the responsibility is all on our side."

The man was very cooperative, "If you want to think so, then I can't help it."

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

The smile didn't last long, Luden seemed to be born to be busy, he couldn't wait to ask,
"what's next?"

"The choice is yours."

The man was as respectful as ever,
"You can go out and take a look at the real world, which is really boring and boring, and you even already know what it looks like, half by guessing, and half by me telling you.

You can also stay in the cave, you can go back to your friend, as I said, the choice is yours. "

The environment around Luden changed, the banquet hall disappeared, and he appeared in a cave. The dark wind he felt just now was blowing from the entrance of the cave.

This cave is deeper than anything else in the world. If you look into the depths, you can feel the infinite gravitational force, as if it wants to suck the soul away.

Luden withdrew his gaze and said to himself,
"I'll go back to them, I'm with them."

He shook his head slightly,
"But not now, not at this moment."

Right now, he has more important things to do.

Standing at the door of the cave, Luden did not hesitate or hesitate, nor did he need to make any mental preparations.

He no longer needs such things.

Looking at the crude fence in front of him, Luden stretched out his hand and pushed it away. The fence seemed to be as heavy as a thousand jun, but Luden still pushed it away slowly.

Luden took a step, jumped over the fence, and walked out of the cave.
