The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 517 Random
"You say I'm stupid?"

Thanos' aura of overlord looking all around suddenly froze, and the color of shock and anger flashed in the narrow eyes (compared to the huge purple face).

He is Thanos!The last Mad Titan!Lord of the Dark Quadrant!Walking Scourge!
He has wisdom unimaginable by ordinary life, he can be the most outstanding mechanical engineer or a bachelor of science in computer science, he can be a philosopher, a religious leader,
He can piece together a space cruiser from a pile of space junk by himself, even if he is left on a desolate tropical rainforest planet without a knife by his side, he can climb the technology tree to interstellar colonization after a hundred years era;

He has the intuition of a warrior and a scholar, can see the truth behind layers of obstacles, and can resolve the answers under complex mysteries. All the mysteries of the world have opened the door to him.

Such an existence is actually called a fool? !

As if sensing the owner's psychological fluctuations, the colorful and magnificent rainbow ring began to expand and contract periodically,

The seven biological emotions represented by the seven colors contain quiet and terrifying power, and it seems that an unprecedented torrent of energy will be released in the next second, smashing everything in front of you.

"Yes."

Facing the possible blow, Li Ang didn't feel any pressure at all. He smiled indifferently, and said indifferently: "Let's not mention the rationality or effectiveness of destroying half of the lives.
Let's talk about the effectiveness of the program first,

Since you claim to be for a more grand goal, you should also be completely random in the process of extinction to ensure its fairness.

So, how are you going to achieve 'absolute randomness'? "

For a while, Thanos was a little confused about the opponent's routine. He first maliciously mocked him for being stupid, and then calmly communicated peacefully.

This is a fight?Still not playing?

Although the last Titan didn't care about the so-called honor and dignity, when the other party jumped on his face to mock him, he still had a slight urge to prove himself in his heart.
So he started trying to argue,
"The reason why the quantum ship exists is because there are intelligent life in the ship. These intelligent life can observe or not observe themselves during the expansion of the quantum probability cloud.

This allows the probability cloud to freely determine the collapsed and non-collapsed states. "

Thanos said: "The number of intelligent life must be large, and the will must be firm enough to ensure that they will not be swallowed by the chaotic attribute of the probability cloud.

But when the mortal life is finally exhausted, even the Earth soldiers with a strong will and the heavy responsibility for the survival of the race can only maintain the probability cloud at the size of half a galaxy.

Moreover, to carry out the extermination plan, I am not at ease to find other people. "

"so."

"I plan to quantize myself." Thanos' tone was calm, not like talking about his own life form, but talking about the recent weather conditions,

"With the soul gem, I can fully bear the burden of will brought by quantization,

In addition, gems can bring me a huge amount of computing power comparable to a quantum computer-the soul is a natural information processor.

And this huge computing power also laid the cornerstone for my random extinction plan. "

Thanos said calmly and calmly: "I am pursuing absolute fairness, and absolute fairness means absolute randomness, that is, any 'predictable' situation is not allowed."

Li Ang understood what he said, and said, "Are you going to turn to Quantum for help?"

"That's right." Thanos nodded.

The "randomness" of modern computers is basically a "seed" at the beginning. Through various intricate calculation formulas, the randomness is increased as much as possible.
But as long as the "seed" and "calculation formula" exist, this kind of randomness is also "pseudo-random". As long as the calculation cycle is long enough, repeated results will eventually appear.

Even if the repeated periodicity is extended to 100 billion years, it is unacceptable for a perfectionist like Thanos.

To achieve literal randomness, Thanos must resort to quantum,
This is not such a difficult technology. The thermodynamic noise (white noise) or atomic decay that can be noticed in daily life are all manifestations of absolute randomness, but the quantized brain will greatly accelerate this process. simplify.

"A certain part of my quantized brain will asynchronously generate a random bit stream at a certain frequency. This kind of random bit generated according to thermodynamics is a truly random number.

At that time, with a quantum body, I will sift through the entire galaxy like a sieve, and decide whether each individual life survives or not through a single choice of 'yes' or 'no'. "

Thanos is calm and eloquent, so calm that he doesn't look like a terrorist at all, but like a professor who is dedicated to scientific research.

"Very well, you successfully resolved the issue of fairness."

Li Ang smiled: "So, can you ensure the effectiveness of the plan?"

Thanos frowned, "Of course, as long as half of the creatures are wiped out, the remaining half will have a lot of breathing room.

The extra resources are enough to ensure that all beings in the galaxy will not engage in unnecessary wars due to lack of resources for a relatively long period of time.

There is nothing wrong with short-term chaos in exchange for long-term peace. "

"Ha ha."

Li Ang shook his head and smiled, "Have you heard of Malthusism?"

"Huh?" Purple Potato Head raised his eyebrows.

Li Ang explained: "Malthusism means that the population will grow exponentially, while the total amount of resources and food will grow linearly, which determines that the population must exceed the upper limit that the environment can carry at a certain moment.

Wars and famines for resources will reduce the population and restore it to a lower level.

In this way, the contradiction between population and resources produces an endless cycle of tragedy.

This is the Malthusian trap. "

Thanos knows that many civilizations in the Milky Way have also conducted research on population issues, and have produced a theory similar to the Malthusian trap.

"That's right, no matter how vast the Milky Way is, no matter how rich its resources are, it cannot support an infinitely expanding population."

Thanos said: "The greed of individual life is endless, which leads to repeated tragedies, never new.

To make matters worse, the development of civilization is spiraling upward, and the scale and intensity of interstellar wars will continue to escalate, resulting in even greater tragedies.

And I want to end this tragedy. "

After all, Thanos took a step forward, his mood was as calm as still water, his wisdom was in his hands, and he was confident.
