It's not that it's not complex enough, it's that it's not simple enough.

Lin Xian recalled...the same words were said by the super artificial intelligence VV in the third dream.

At that time, I couldn't figure out the [Mirror Puzzle] left by Huang Que, so I asked VV for advice.

VV rarely thought about it for a long time.

In fact, the light in the entire Rhine Sky City dimmed a bit, and Lin Xian intuitively felt that something big was coming, something big was really coming.

But the result...

The answer VV finally came up with was extremely simple and even too straightforward——

"I think... that's literally what it means, to make you look in the mirror more."

At that time, Lin Xian resisted the urge to dismantle the trash can.

Decided not to pay any attention to this artificial retard.

But I didn't expect it.

Today, this line taken from a certain science fiction book came out of Chu Anqing's mouth again, making Lin Xian feel a little dazed.

He suddenly felt...

What if?

Whether in this world or in history. Things like cleverness being misled by cleverness, and things such as being unable to see clearly under the dark light actually happen all the time.

Moreover.

Chu Anqing is not an outsider who cannot be trusted.

Not only did she pass the oriole's strict selection;

He also risked his life to go to the United States alone to cheer himself up;

He even hesitated to quarrel with his parents to fight for the opportunity to accompany him to space to capture space-time particles;

His father, Chu Shanhe, was a great chivalrous man who served the country and the people, and helped him a lot when fighting the Seven Deadly Sins;

in summary……

Chu Anqing, on the contrary, is the most trustworthy person.

"All right."

Lin Xian nodded:

"It's just that the issue I'm thinking about is a bit fantasy, and there are too many assumptions and premises, so it may be difficult to understand. I'll just explain it to you briefly. I hope... you can understand."

Chu Anqing felt like she was facing a formidable enemy.

Sit up straight.

Put your hands neatly on your knees, like a good obedient child in kindergarten, ready to listen to the true meaning of how many apples plus oranges equal several pears.

After sorting out his thoughts, Lin Xian slowly spoke:

"After watching movies like "The Matrix", "Source Code", and "The Truman Show" with settings similar to "Brain in a Vat" and "Being in a Real Studio", I often think about how to use How can we realize the falsity of the world?”

"The concept of brain in a vat is equivalent to the enemy taking control of your brain after knocking you unconscious, and directly transmitting various information into your brain through computers, including vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch and body. A sense of presence and movement experience. In this way, for your brain, it feels like you are actually in a colorful, extremely real world that is no different from daily life.”

"But in fact, no matter how real your brain thinks this world is, it is still fake and a computer fiction; there will be an evil doctor who controls everything you see and makes you his experiment. , or just to laugh at you.”

"As for the concept of a studio, you must understand it. After all, you have watched the movie "The Truman Show." It means that when you wake up, you find that there are residents, cars, shopping malls, cinemas... and daily life around you. Everything in life. It’s just that these are all actors and props arranged by the director. The huge studio is as big as several cities, and there are hidden cameras in every corner. If you don’t travel far by plane or train, you will find them all your life. But you are the protagonist of a reality show, and your private life is broadcast live 24 hours a day for the enjoyment of the world.”

"Let's just assume that I, you, or anyone else can, we are in such a brain in a vat, in an extremely real studio as large as several cities. Then we are completely monitored and controlled by the enemy and the director. Under the premise, what methods can we use to make ourselves realize that we are in a false state?”

"Of course, you don't have to prove that these virtual worlds are false. You can also find ways to prove that they are real. Both forward and reverse proofs can be used. If there is a way to prove that the world you are in is real. , which is obviously more reassuring. In short, we must find a way to give us a clear answer when we are trapped and confused——"

"[Is this world real, or is it a fake, virtual, and built studio?"

…

Lin Xian finished his long speech.

Chu Anqing was stunned, and smoke started to smoke from her head:

"You... I can understand the situation you are talking about. After all, there are many movies on the market with similar plots, so I have an idea of ​​the situation you are assuming. In "The Truman Show" In the movie, the reason why the protagonist is able to discover that the world he is in is false is because the program team made a mistake and the protagonist discovered the flaw, so he became suspicious. "

"Listening to your description, if we rule out the possibility of mistakes by the director or the enemy, then I really can't think of any way to crack it. After all...isn't there a poem that says this? 'If you don't know the true face of Mount Lu, Just because you are in this mountain. If you have been standing in Lushan Mountain, you will never be able to see its whole picture, just like you said you are in a false world... How can you prove that you are in a false world? What about falsehood?”

Lin Xian nodded and continued:

"The director and the enemy --\u003e\u003e

People are not completely without mistakes. Let us assume another thing. There is a [safe], which is the only hope left to us due to the negligence of the director and the enemy. You can put an object or a small piece of paper in the known reality; and then you can still find the safe in that seemingly virtual world. You can open it with a password and see what's stored inside. "

"This is the only prop you can use, and it is also the only channel that can exchange materials and information with the real world. Therefore, if you want to find a way to prove the truth and falsehood of the world you are in, you can only make a fuss around this safe. "

Chu Anqing suddenly realized it and raised her head to speak!

"But..." Lin Xian smiled and reached out to interrupt her:

"I know what you want to say. I must ask my friend to put something in the safe that I don't know. Then I will set a password that no one else knows, and then go there to open it and confirm the items inside. After confirming it with your friends, you can identify the truth and falsehood in that world.”

"But don't panic, this question is far from that simple, otherwise I wouldn't be so troubled and thought about it for so long without coming up with any feasible answer. Because in addition to the previous assumptions, there is an additional limit--"

"[The enemy or the director, they have enough time to crack the safe before you wake up, whether it is through exhaustive methods or brute force cracking, in short, they have the ability to know what is in the safe before you do. ]"

"[They will make an exact copy of the safe, and then make an exact copy of the contents hidden inside. Then, they will place this fake safe next to you who just woke up. Don't forget our previous assumptions. ...All the props are so fake that they can be mistaken for real. We can never tell whether the safe or the objects hidden inside are real or fake based on sight alone.”

…

So far.

Lin Xian finished the complete question.

And Chu Anqing's brain is crazy...

It's almost done.

This, this is the world of smart people!

Her roasted brain protested:

Why do these smart people torture their own brains?

Why give yourself such a difficult question?

Is it just to make it taste better with some chili powder?

"this……"

Chu Anqing blinked quickly, stretched out her hand to scratch her head, and frowned in thought for a while.

Then.

He shook his head quickly.

Brainstorming! Brainstorming! Brainstorming!

burst!

"ah……"

She sighed helplessly and rubbed her hair with both hands. Her long dark brown hair, which was smooth and neat just now, was now a mess.

and……

A few hairs were accidentally wrapped around her fingers, and they were accidentally pulled off while scratching her head. Chu Anqing screamed in pain.

She looked at the hair wrapped around her fingers, took it off, and threw it in the trash can nearby:

"Sorry, Senior Lin Xian, I seem to have overestimated my abilities."

Chu Anqing smiled sheepishly:

"I'm going to have a debate with my dad when I get back! It seems that the famous quote in the science fiction book is not 100% correct. Tell me, it's such a complicated problem just by reading it, no matter how It’s impossible to think of it as simple... If you encounter this question in a logic test, it will take several minutes just to read the question. "

"However, I just felt that if the real and suspected false worlds can only be connected through the safe, since the enemy and the director can open the safe in advance, know the contents and copy them, then they must not be placed in it. Ordinary things, such as souvenirs, handicrafts, toys, stones, or dolls..."

"After all, the enemy and the director can copy these things 100% exquisitely, so there is no point in putting these straightforward things. I think the idea you just mentioned is better. The only way to deceive the enemy and convey hidden information—— "

"[Only a small piece of paper with writing on it.]"

"It's just...I couldn't think of it for a moment, what should I write on the note, so that I'm not afraid that the enemy director will see it in advance, copy it in advance, and confuse the fake with the real one? I understand, Senior Lin Xian, this is the reason for your frown in this paragraph, right?" Are you so worried because you can't figure out what to write on the note?"

Lin Xian nodded.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

The foundation and associations of the words are far beyond imagination.

Sometimes in the novel, a seemingly ordinary sentence, or even a few words, two words, one word... can make readers burst into tears.

Is this the power of those words?

No.

It’s those words, the story behind them.

Lin Xian believes that the deep meaning behind the content of words, small notes...

This is the only hope that can break through 600 years of time and space, break through the enemy's surveillance, break through all barriers between reality and falsehood, and enable one to instantly understand the truth.

"Senior Lin Xian, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Chu Anqing raised her head and looked at Lin Xian:

"But... thank you very much for your willingness to tell me this and share your troubles with me. As your good friend, I will definitely find a way to help you and find a solution for you!"

"Although I'm not that smart, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang! Hehe, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about what you said. In the future, when I'm free, before going to bed, and when I take a shower, I will think about this problem. One day... I think I will figure out the answer!"

"Of course~ Maybe by the time I figure out the answer--\u003e\u003e

That day, Senior Lin Xian, you must have thought of the answer a long time ago! Let's think about it together! Solve this problem as soon as possible!"

Lin Xian smiled slightly.

Pick up the last small piece of birthday cake with a fork and put it in his mouth.

It's a little sweet.

But it's still delicious.

The brain always consumes a lot of sugar to think, so it's understandable to put so many spoons of sugar in this cake.

…

“Thank you for celebrating my birthday.”

After eating the cake, Lin Xian and Chu Anqing cleaned up the table and garbage together. Lin Xian thanked him:

“I will prepare a gift for you on your birthday.”

“Hehe, that’s great!”

Chu Anqing was full of joy. She threw the last piece of garbage into the trash can, clapped her hands and smiled:

“Do you still remember the date of my birthday, senior?”

Lin Xian smiled but said nothing:

“Of course.”

After all, there is a drama queen who raps in my ears every day, and now it has become a mental imprint.

Lin Xian picked up the plastic bag in the trash can, tied it into a bundle, and looked at Chu Anqing in his hand:

“It’s getting late. We have training tomorrow. Let’s go back and rest early.”

“Yeah.”

The two walked towards the corridor of the training room.

Click.

Lin Xian turned off the light switch.

The whole training room was dark.

The eyes of Chu Anqing and Lin Xian reflected the dim incandescent light in the corridor ahead. They talked and laughed, one on the left and one on the right, walking from the darkness into the light, with the light on them.

In this corridor of laughter, Lin Xian officially walked towards his 25th birthday.

Bang.

The dormitory door was closed, and the fingerprint lock was automatically locked.

Lin Xian walked into the dormitory with a bag of garbage, staring at the electronic alarm clock pretending to show the time:

"VV."

He snorted:

"You must have discovered that Chu Anqing was making cakes in the kitchen a long time ago, so you have been going crazy and yelling, not letting me sleep?"

Whoosh~~~~ Whoosh~~~~~

The time displayed on the electronic alarm clock changed to =3=, and it also made a whistle pretending not to hear it.

"You are such a heartless person."

Lin Xian laughed:

"You can keep repeating Chu Anqing's birthday in my ear eight hundred times all day long, but you never said happy birthday to me. But I let it go. You said I don't think it's corny enough, and few boys like to celebrate birthdays. Usually not many people remember my birthday. I didn't celebrate my birthday last year. Gao Yang forgot my birthday, and I have long forgotten his birthday."

"But... VV, you obviously know Zhao Yingjun's birthday, why didn't you remind me? Although I set off fireworks for her at Disneyland, it was still too late after all. You could at least remind me."

"When is Zhao Yingjun's birthday?" VV asked.

"January 15th." Lin Xian blurted out.

"Hehe."

The electronic alarm clock VV smiled:

"Look, you clearly remember it very clearly. Birthdays are like this... People who really care about it will not forget it and do not need others to remind them."

"Don't force an explanation, you just don't want to remind me."

"What I said is true." VV laughed:

"In order not to disturb Chu Anqing from celebrating your birthday, when you left this dormitory, I turned your phone to silent mode and turned off all message push reminders."

"Can you put this kind of thoughtfulness on Kevin Walker?"

Lin Xian complained:

"Can you do something that a super artificial intelligence should really do? Send a missile to Kevin Walker, blow up his refrigerator and microwave, and short-circuit his computer?"

"Are you an artificial intelligence or a mobile phone manager? I won't bother you with things like silencing your phone and turning on the Do Not Disturb mode in the future. I can do it myself."

As he said, Lin Xian picked up his phone and prepared to turn the silent mode back -

Huh?

In the upper right corner of the WeChat icon, there is a small red dot, indicating that there is an unread message.

Lin Xian clicked on WeChat.

There were two messages sent 40 minutes ago.

It happened to be March 20, 2024, 00:00

[Zhao Yingjun: Happy birthday, Lin Xian. I didn’t have the chance to give you a gift this year, let’s make it up next year. ]

[Zhao Yingjun: Although I don’t know what secret mission you are carrying out, but... I wish you all the best and immediate success. ]

…

Lin Xian put down his phone and looked at VV.

People who really care will not forget and do not need others to remind them.

So.

This is what he said...

“You are such a dog, VV.”

Then he squatted down, put the garbage bag in his hand on the ground, untied it, and began to search inside.

“What are you doing, Lin Xian?”

The electronic alarm clock VV widened his eyes again:

“Why are you rummaging through the garbage?”

“Did you forget?” Lin Xian said while rummaging through the garbage:

"Didn't we agree before that after completing the task of capturing space-time particles, we would go to Qufu, Shandong, dig up Zhang Yuqian's grave, and then find the DNA left behind... and compare it with Chu Anqing?"

\u003e    Lin Xian picked up a few strands of hair from the garbage bag with his right hand.

He held it in front of his eyes.

Dark brown, slightly curly, shiny and smooth.

He smiled slightly:

"Chu Anqing's hair...got it."
