Chapter 334 Dimension Reduction
"The real ascension is not to increase the dimension, but to reduce it."

Fu Xi murmured and repeated what Fu Daoyi said.

In fact, every Star God pioneer who tries to follow the footsteps of the Star God will more or less hear about the legend of ascension.

Both the Theia civilization where Maggie lives and the Celine clan who made the Galaxy Star believe that ascension is the evolution of dimensions, a leap from the constraints of this universe to a higher life form; while Pedro believes that ascension It is to use the Star God's unique programming method to reshape oneself and become a high-dimensional existence equivalent to the Star God.

No matter which one, there is only one consensus:
Ascension is for transformation and becoming an equal form to the Star Gods. It is the highest sublimation of life and the optimization of perfection.

Even in the details of the log left by the 'True Administrator', it was mentioned that the Star Gods experienced an ascension and then became the masters of infinite time in the infinite world.

But now, Fu Daoyi claims that the essence of ascension is dimensionality reduction?
Fu Xi raised his eyes, and the surprised expression on his face did not surprise the person sitting opposite.

"Now, can we continue?" Fu Daoyi suggested patiently.

Fu Xi pondered for a moment, and the thoughts in his mind went around several times, and finally he nodded lightly: "Okay, let's continue... What exactly does dimensionality reduction mean?"

Fu Daoyi did not answer directly, but took out his personal communication terminal, activated a clear blank floating projection light screen, and presented it in front of the two of them.

"In your eyes, what characteristics do the Star Gods have?" he asked.

"A star god?"

Fu Xi thought for a while, "Limited to the rules of their existence, they have unlimited lifespan and unlimited power, and can create or destroy the world as they please. But from a higher perspective, they are also restricted by the rules and will also encounter fatal consequences." crisis."

Fu Daoyi nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and typed a few lines of code skillfully on the blank projection screen, and then clicked to run.

A simple snake game is just finished.

The green lines represent the little snakes controlled by the player, chasing red fruits in a closed square area, and the little snakes can grow up by eating the fruits.

"Is it like this?" Fu Daoyi asked again.

Fu Xi was stunned and couldn't say a word.

"From a certain perspective, I just created a unique small world within the framework of rules defined by the programming code." Fu Daoyi pointed to the projection screen, "This world has its own unique rules: a never-ending Little snakes and randomly refreshed fruits, and little snakes need to swallow fruits to grow.”

With that said, he stopped the game and deleted the codes.

"Now, the world disappears. I use my birthright to destroy it."

Fu Dao turned his head and looked at Fu Xi with deep eyes: "Do you understand?"

Fu Xi was silent for a moment. The simple demonstration gave him an indescribable huge impact within a few seconds, as if the door to a new world had been opened, and his thoughts were very confused.

To a certain extent, Fu Daoyi is right.

He casually created a world with its own 'inhabitants', and now the world is destroyed.

It seems quite far-fetched and sloppy, but this simple core logic is exactly the same as the way the star gods created the universe and shaped civilization.

"Human beings have absolute dominance and control over the virtual world they create."

Fu Daoyi gently closed the projection screen and said steadily and calmly:
"A code, an instruction, or a simple thought can make the entire virtual world run according to one's own wishes. What is in the virtual world, what can be done, and how it will develop are completely at the mercy of the creator. Human thoughts are determined in turn.”

"Since ascension allows people to live whatever they want and control everything. Then reducing the dimension to a virtual world will achieve this goal? Just like what you have experienced... the 'Oasis Vision' of the Realm Line Alliance , has been called mankind’s second home.”

"But there is definitely a difference between virtuality and reality."

Fu Xi raised his head, and even he was a little doubtful of the rebuttal he spoke at this moment.

Fu Daoyi smiled lightly and replied politely and patiently: "The difference between virtuality and reality is nothing more than the difference in data volume. As long as the total amount of data is large enough, the processor operation speed is fast enough, and the algorithm is advanced enough, everything virtual can be It’s the same as reality, it’s true.”

He was right!

Cold sweat soaked Fu Xi's back unknowingly. He took a deep breath, trying to hide the shock in his pupils by pretending to be thoughtful.

The rapid progress of virtual networks has been proven beyond doubt in past history.

The game that was first born in the virtual world in 1912 could only use a few simple vacuum tubes to simulate movement. By 1962, it could already use graphics to simulate concepts such as aircraft, black holes, and battles.

And later, over the course of several decades.

The virtual world is becoming more and more real and complex, from simple 8-bit color blocks to pixels combining points and squares; from fuzzy low-pixel and low-precision to highly quasi-complex modeling, AI, light and shadow tracing, collision volumes, physical rules.

Data is superimposed layer by layer, the rules set by the code are becoming more and more complex, and the logical calculation algorithms are becoming more and more powerful.

When the images, sounds, smells, and touches introduced into the human body in the virtual world are all the same as those in the real world, and the amount of data possessed by the virtual world is almost the same as reality, who can easily tell the difference between virtuality and reality?
Every year in Rose City, countless patients who are unable to distinguish between virtuality and reality receive psychological treatment, and there are many more homeless people in the Lower City who are addicted to illusory dreams and do not want to wake up.

And this is far from the limit. When the amount of data increases a little more and reaches a scale similar to that of the 'Miniature Galaxy', a virtual world that can accommodate an entire remaining civilization will be born.

Then... what about going one step further?

When they reach the level of Star God, the world they create is reality!

"Are you so obsessed with the 'Digital Life Project' just to reduce the dimensionality of the machine and ascend?" Fu Xi adjusted his breathing to calm down and spoke quickly.

"That's right. When the amount of data is enough, the only gap between virtuality and reality is life. Coded AI written in traditional codes cannot be regarded as real life. Even if it is more anthropomorphic, it is just an illusion after all. 'Digital life' The plan' is to create real living aborigines in the virtual world, rather than clone them into reality."

"What about consciousness uploading?"

"It's not a traditional way. Traditional consciousness uploading is just to create a character imprint in the virtual space that preserves memory and behavioral characteristics. The essence is still a piece of code; but mechanical ascension is different. We are creations created by the Star God. On the Star From God’s perspective, we can abstract it into a piece of ‘code’ used by them.”

Fu Daoyi answered simply and neatly. After a short pause, he continued again:

"After restoring human beings to the 'code' of the Star God, and then re-entering it into the core of the Star God, a new level of consciousness uploading can be achieved. Compared with the traditional method, you are still you, and there is no essential difference in this method."

Fu Xi can understand the difference between the two methods.

The traditional method is like printing a snapshot. You can say that the photo is 'you', but in fact it is just a pattern of color blocks printed out by a color printer in a regular arrangement. It is 'your image', not ' yourself'.But the method Fu Daoyi wanted to use was completely the same as 'yourself'.

Fu Xi intertwined his hands into a tower shape, sat on a chair and muttered: "So, use your consciousness uploading method to convert my sister's brain tissue into the 'source code' of the Star God's logic, and then inject the Star God's core into her, and she will Can be reborn in a dimensionally reduced world. Such rebirth is not just as simple as a copy or clone, but can make her life completely continuous."

"That's right. The core of the Star God is the storage container and computing core that carries the virtual world she lives in after dimensionality reduction. It is infinitely more powerful than the 'Wormwood' cloud computer set. The amount of data it can accommodate and the computing peak even exceed Reality."

"When she wakes up, the mechanical ascension is completed: Hongying becomes the master and the only master of the infinite world and infinite time in the lower-dimensional virtual world compared to us."

Fu Daoyi has obviously verified the feasibility of the entire process, and is now only explaining its implementation plan to Fu Xi.

"By this point, you should have completely understood."

Fu Xi was silent. The entire process of mechanical ascension was actually not complicated. Compared with the extremely magical battle between Taixu and Emperor Ziwei, it could be said to be simple and unpretentious.

"Dimensionality expansion was a mistake from the beginning, because humans can never imagine things they have never seen." Fu Daoyi slowly concluded, "Human beings have never seen what high dimensions are like. What are the rules of space and time in high dimensions? What are the constants? How do dimensions work? We all know nothing about it. Therefore, humans can never ascend to a higher dimension. The higher dimensions conceived by imagination are just a reassembly of the conceptual elements of reality by imagination."

"But dimensionality reduction is another story. The lower-dimensional virtual world is a complete imitation of the real world we live in. We clearly know the elements that virtuality should have: it must have space, time, and matter. Movement, energy, so we know how to create it."

The ascension civilizations of the past were all destroyed by wishful thinking.

Just like Pedro, he believes that ascension is to optimize oneself using the programming rules in the "Gift of the Star God".But the main premise here is wrong, and the ascension in his mind is just a figment of his imagination.

Fu Xi had nothing to say. Fu Daoyi, who was sitting quietly in front of him at this moment, was undoubtedly a genius.

"What will happen to Fu Hongying in reality?"

After silence, Fu Xi spoke again. This was his real concern.

"It'll disappear, just like you've seen it."

Fu Daoyi replied without hesitation. His eyes met Fu Xi's. The two of them showed each other's figures through their eyes. Fu Daoyi looked indifferent and majestic.

In this moment of gaze, Fu Daoyi transformed from a kind father to an authoritative ruler:
"Go back, Fu Xi, you can't stop a father's determination to resurrect his daughter. Besides, from your position, you are not qualified to stop it."

Fu Xi clenched his fists and said nothing.

"Just treat it like a nap. Your sister will wake you up as usual. She is still the same person you know, and I will find my real daughter." Fu Dao patted Fu Xi on the shoulder. Get up and see off guests.

"One day later, the mechanical ascent will officially begin on this space station. At that time, the company's fleet will implement the strictest space blockade, and the security department will take the most stringent measures to eliminate all hidden dangers on the Blue Star."

"You can go home and wait for the results, or you can stay and see."

Fu Daoyi paused for a moment and spoke again, "Because from today on, you are the new chairman of Rebirth Military, and you have the right to make decisions freely."

……

……

Fu Xi seemed to be in a dream. He didn't remember how he walked out of the laboratory. He only knew that when he came back to his senses, it was Ti Lu who was holding his shoulder and calling him.

"Boss! Boss!"

After coming back to his senses, Fu Xi shook his head and asked in a low voice: "What time is it?"

"It's 4 p.m. Azure Star time, and you've been sitting here motionless for 6 hours." Tilu asked worriedly, "Did something happen?"

They have come out of the 'Ziweiyuan' and defeated Emperor Ziwei and Taixu in various reversals.

They are all winners in the end, so what are you still struggling with?
Fu Xi gently held Ti Lu's hand and gave her a comforting smile.

——Fu Daoyi was right, he was not qualified to stop this mechanical ascension.

My sister will truly come back to life, and my father's long-cherished wish will come true.

The current hesitation is more about the shock of the mechanical ascension and the last bit of undecided anxiety in my heart.

Have Emperor Ziwei’s back-up tools really been exhausted?

"I'm fine. My father asked me to completely take over the company. I'm just thinking about future policies." He made up a reason and reassured casually.

Tilu opened her eyes wide when she heard this and was happy for him: "Really? Congratulations! Boss!"

Fu Xi smiled, but his solemn look remained.

In the end, he still failed to figure out who 'he' was and the details of the transaction between Emperor Ziwei and Fu Daoyi.

Emperor Ziwei refused to even create 'Taixu', preferring to choose a branch from the earth's human civilization to cultivate. Why on earth was he willing to modify the rules of the universe for Fu Daoyi and reverse the iron law of life and death?
From this transaction, Fu Daoyi obtained the correct method to resurrect Fu Hongying. What did Emperor Ziwei get?
Of course, there were times when Fu Xi felt that his worries were unfounded. Emperor Ziwei clearly disappeared in front of all of them, and even Taixu never doubted the authenticity.

Maybe it's because he has dealt with the old yinbi a lot, which makes him a little bit dissatisfied.

Fu Xi rubbed his brows and forced himself to relax: "Go and call the others, Zhu Yue, Maggie, Ye Qinghuan... things are over, we should have a good celebration, with a sense of ceremony."

"Okay!" Ti Lu reluctantly took the cattails out of his hand and turned to leave.

At this time, she bumped into Chu Yue who had just entered.

Zhuyue didn't show any signs of it and said bluntly: "Boss, Taixu woke up early due to the effects of nerve-blocking electricity and soothing gas. However, she showed no intention of resisting and only made one request."

"What?" Fu Xi asked casually.

"She wants to see you." Zhuyue said, his eyes briefly glanced at Tilu next to him, and then added: "Alone."
