Chapter 479 Symbiosis Wheel Legs and Cosmic Creatures
"You mean, you want to overthrow string theory from beginning to end, and then use the Standard Model as a basis to develop a new theory that can explain both macroscopic and microscopic physics?"

After talking about starting anew, Lin Ling talked to Ye Zhou about the theory of high energy physics for half an hour, including but not limited to the application of AdS/CFT in condensed matter, the singularity theorem of general relativity, the standard model UV divergence in
All these overly advanced theories made Ye Zhou's head as big as a bucket, and when he got to the back, he could hardly understand what Lin Ling was saying at all.

But at the same time, a thought appeared in his mind very clearly:
This is the origin of everything.

Perhaps it was from this moment that Lin Ling officially embarked on the road of research on adjacent dimensions, and later, through the theory she created, she analyzed the problems of adjacent dimensions and space channels, thus creating The Quantum Phantom, traveled through 20 years, and sent that reminder message to human beings.

Speaking of which, Lin Ling herself can actually be said to be the "Number Zero", because her past and future have actually formed a closed loop.

Of course, judging from the present, Ye Zhou is still not clear whether this kind of closed loop is necessary, because time is a more complicated issue than space, but in any case, Lin Ling who took this road is a response to the human crisis. A positive solution came out.

"No, I don't mean to base it on the Standard Model, I think the Standard Model is more vulnerable to adjacent dimensions than it is to gravity, I mean"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Ye Zhou helplessly interrupted Lin Ling again, and then said:
"Comrade Lin, I really can't understand what you're saying. I'm just an applied technology guy. Now what I need you to tell me is, in your plan, what kind of resource support do you need us to provide you?" ?”

"If you need people or equipment, you should bring it up now. If you need to add new facilities, then you have to give us a clear plan."

"You know, our resources are very limited now, and there are many parallel large projects being done. It is not an easy task to squeeze out resources for you."

Hearing Ye Zhou's words, Lin Ling paused and replied:

"Ye Gong, I will give you a list later, and there will be things I need on it, but... I think I need to explain clearly what I want to do before you can approve it."

"Your explanation is completely useless to me. You should go and explain it to an expert in your own related field. However, all our current layouts are based on the strategic level, and the research on the theory of adjacent dimensions is also here strategy, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

"Understood. Ye Gong, can I go to find you now? I want to give you the materials first."

".come on."

Ye Zhou glanced at the time. It was almost six o'clock in the afternoon. Obviously, he was going to miss dinner again today.

After waiting for half an hour, Lin Ling finally came late. Ye Zhou roughly read the materials she submitted, and found that there were not too many infrastructure demands involved, but the most was the demand for talents—this is not a Difficult to meet requirements.

If the other party wants to build a new large-scale collider, or launch a new deep-space probe, then he really has to weigh it carefully.

After a few simple exchanges, Ye Zhou got up and was about to leave the office. Lin Ling followed behind him. After walking for a while, Ye Zhou asked with some doubts:
"Why are you following me?"

".I am going to eat."

Ye Zhou smiled awkwardly, only then did he realize that both of them were walking in the direction of the cafeteria of Huawuyuan.

". Let me treat you to dinner. I've worked hard during this time."

Naturally, Lin Ling would not refuse Ye Zhou's invitation——in fact, in her opinion, Ye Zhou is now everyone's superior, and every word he uttered had the meaning of an order, which made it impossible for people to know. How to refuse.

After sitting down in the small restaurant specially designated for the cafeteria, Ye Zhou said:
"I feel that your condition has improved a lot recently, but you still need to pay attention to rest. Doing scientific research is a long-term job, and ensuring your health is the prerequisite."

"Understand, thank you for your concern."

"...The two of us are not unfamiliar to this extent, are we? Forget it, is there any new movement in the world in terms of basic theoretical research recently?"

Lin Ling smiled and replied:
"No, isn't that a cliché? If you want to talk about the general direction, it still hasn't changed. Everything we do now is to unify the macro and micro, but if you ask me about things related to the adjacent Weiqiang, there are indeed."

"tell me the story?"

Ye Zhou looked at Lin Ling curiously and asked.

"In Sweden, a group of scientists engaged in quantum physics are discussing how to get in touch with neighboring civilizations."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou frowned instantly.

His attitude towards unknown civilizations has always been extremely vigilant, because it is obvious that all civilizations in adjacent dimensions are enemies with the current earth civilization, and the more exposed to the enemy, the greater the danger.

"Why do you want to get in touch with the adjacent dimension? Is there any benefit for us?"

Lin Ling shook his head and replied:

"Theoretically, there will be no benefit, but you know, some people's thinking is very paranoid --- especially in the West, some scientists' pursuit of knowledge is beyond instinct, they don't care about human life and death, just want to Pursue the ultimate truth."

"For them, the adjacent dimension is a step to the truth. If they can get in touch with them, they don't care what the consequences will be."

"What's this called? I heard from the morning that Xi Ke is dead, but their price is all human beings."

"Of course, apart from these paranoids, there is also a group of people who call themselves 'Symbiotics' - in fact, 'Pet Schools' is more appropriate. I think they are more naive - they probably think that we are the same as the neighbors. Civilizations can still be negotiated, after all, they are all civilizations of the same kind.”

"Same civilization? We don't even know whether the other party is a carbon-based civilization or a silicon-based civilization."

"I really don't know, but if the other party is really a carbon-based civilization, then the degree of similarity between us and them may really be extremely high --- this is also the main standpoint of this group of people. They think that we and the other party They are likely to have extremely high similarities in culture and morality, and we can persuade the other party to give up their destructive actions against us through communication."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou sighed helplessly.

"This is too naive, no one will believe it?"

Lin Ling nodded solemnly and replied:
"Ye Gong, to be honest, such an argument seems naive to us, because we speculate on the enemy from the perspective of 'maliciousness', but if we change our position and regard the confrontation between the two sides as purely natural If it is a competition for survival, then this reason is really not as outrageous as it seems on the surface."

"Think about it, we can still protect wild animals, let alone an intelligent civilization? The ultimate goal of the symbiosis faction is to divide the earth in this dimension into an 'ecological reserve', at the cost of civilization no longer developing , to ensure the survival of human civilization."

"Isn't this just a pet? Pets can survive because they are cute. Where is the cuteness of humans?"

Ye Zhou asked dumbfoundedly.

"Lovely in us as they are."

"Same as the adjacent dimension civilization? Why?"

Lin Ling did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically:
"Gong Ye, let me ask you a question. Do you know why most animals on the earth rely on their feet instead of wheels?"

Ye Zhou was stunned for a while, and for a moment he couldn't understand the purpose of the other party's question, and of course he couldn't answer it.

Seeing that Ye Zhou didn't answer, Lin Ling continued:

"We assume that there is such a species, they are born in a vast field, this field is extremely flat, and there is no obstacle to the progress, so for them, what is the direction of their evolution?"

"Obviously, the wheel evolved, right?"

"Because the efficiency of the wheel is the highest in flat terrain and the energy consumption is the smallest, so the wheel family was born."

"However, as the Wheel Clan continued to develop, their territorial scope was also further expanded. On a certain day, they suddenly discovered that the field has an end."

"Beyond the fields are mountains, hills, big rivers, and various obstacles. When you get to these places, the efficiency of the wheels begins to decline."

"So, in order to adapt to such terrain, the wheel family started the second round of evolution --- just like our off-road vehicles, they enlarged the grooves on the tires, so that the tires can have stronger grip and roll over higher barriers."

"Slowly, the grooves on the tire got deeper and deeper, and in the end, the solid tire became a few sticks radiating from the center."

"Such 'stick tires' have a strong climbing ability and also help the wheel family survive in the mountains, but the problem is that they suddenly discovered that this is not the optimal solution."

"What is the working principle of the stick tire? Assuming there is an obstacle in front of it, then when the stick in front hits the obstacle, it will bear all the force, and then drive the stick behind to climb the obstacle through the force of rotation."

"That is to say, during the climbing process, there is only one stick that is in contact with the surface of the obstacle from the beginning to the end, and the sticks located in other positions of the stick tire cannot help."

"In this case, there is no need for other sticks to exist - so the original radioactive stick tire becomes a fan-shaped tire composed of only two sticks."

"The two sticks one behind the other ensure that the wheel family can stand upright stably --- the way of driving through rotation is also eliminated and changed to reciprocating motion."

"And just like that, the legs appeared."

After finishing speaking, Lin Ling let out a long sigh of relief, and then asked:
"Ye Gong, what have you learned from this story?"

".Your performance is like a kindergarten teacher. But I probably understand what you mean. Adapting to the environment is the first requirement of biological evolution, and when the environment converges, the direction of biological evolution will also converge."

"That's right!"

A smile appeared on Lin Ling's face, but before he could speak, Ye Zhou continued to ask:
"I know that your purpose of telling this story is to show that human beings are likely to have great similarities with civilizations in adjacent dimensions, but the problem is that the environments of various planets in this universe that are suitable for the birth of civilizations are very different. The species that come out will also be very different, isn't this contradictory to what you said 'we are the same as them'?"

Lin Ling shook his head and asked:

"Ye Gong, do you really think that the environment of each planet is very different?"

"The entire universe is governed by the four fundamental forces. Differences in the enrichment of the fundamental forces lead to differences in planetary environments. From the perspective of human beings, yes, the shapes of various creatures are very different, but if you Raise the perspective to the dimension of the universe, and you will find that everything is so similar."

"Humans are still in the process of evolution. With gene editing technology, our evolution rate will become faster and faster, and as we begin to develop into the universe, our evolution direction will gradually depart from the 'field' of the earth. , beginning to approach the final, 'cosmic life' form."

"We know that with the expansion of the number of samples, the different environments are gradually converging, which means that in all different dimensions and different universes, the final form of 'cosmic life' must also be converging."

"Do you know what this means? Ye Gong, do you know why some people don't have any psychological barriers to eating wild animals, but they can't accept people eating monkeys?"

Hearing this, Ye Zhou let out a long breath, and replied solemnly:
"Because monkeys...are our past."

"Yes."

Lin Ling also sighed, and then continued:
"So, that's the basis of the 'symbiosis' argument."

"They believe that neighboring dimensional civilizations are the future of humanity, and we are their past."

"What they want to do now is to let our monkey learn human language, and then convince humans to let us live."
