The end of technology.

My heart is still a little aggrieved.

But in this case, there is really no better way, unless...

Ning Zi's mind was spinning rapidly, until the holographic system of the command tower suddenly activated automatically, Ning Zi began to move his eyes and watched the light gradually converge into a human shape, and he was relieved.

This shows that the other party is willing to take the initiative to communicate, and being able to communicate is a good thing.

But when the holographic image took shape, Ning Zi subconsciously blinked.

How should I put it, if you only look at the facial features, this person should be considered very handsome, and you can't tell the difference between male and female.In the words of the Internet, it has a face of Guotai Minan. If you look more closely, it probably means that the matching of facial features is very reasonable and perfect.

But the outfits are very weird. The long hair and headbands in the ancient Chinese style, paired with the European-style medieval aristocratic dress in the movie, really looks a bit nondescript.And when the intelligent life in the video spoke, it used standard Mandarin.

"Hello, Ning Zi, please forgive me for being rude. But there is no way, I hope to know more about you before I officially meet you, so I communicated with March first, I hope you can understand."

With a subtle smile, I can't see much apology, but under this situation, Ning Zi felt that she couldn't care more about it. Although she was still a little bit aggrieved, she still responded as politely as possible: "Understandable, But there should be no danger in March, right?"

"Of course, don't worry, it's very cute, and the idea of ​​generating it is very ingenious, through non-stop random collisions...Of course, limited by the relatively backward thinking mode, the method is still pseudo-random, but it can still generate It’s nice to have the wisdom to have a certain thought path.”

Well, although Ning Zi felt that the person's words in the holographic device were weird, he could probably understand what he was saying.

Ning Zi didn't know much about how March was born, but he just looked at the itinerary computer on the Wu Gang and learned that it didn't take long for the spaceship to jump from the medium space to this space.At most, it is more than 20 minutes.

He woke up from the hibernation chamber almost as soon as the spaceship transition was completed.

Being able to understand how Sanyue was born in such a short period of time gave Ning Zi a new understanding of the holographic wisdom in front of him.

"Actually, the reason why I have been delayed for so long is that I am not only learning about this lovely life. I am more familiar with everything you are familiar with through this cute little thing, such as your language, including rhythm, scale, etc. It will take some time to fully grasp the basic elements of composition, and of course your aesthetics, history, culture and other things. This way we can communicate better, right? Well, I know you have many questions, so you You can ask me some simple questions first."

"Simple question?"

Ning Zi thought for a while and asked, "So what I see now is your entity?"

"Of course not, it's just that I need to appear in a way that you can understand, so I use an image that you can understand. Of course, this image is not just stolen from the cutie. In fact, I have used this image many times. It's just that the way of expression is not fixed. For example, this time it is through your so-called holographic simulation, but it can also be like a real person. In short, I just appear in front of you in a way that you can understand, can you understand?"

Of course, this is not a boring question. In fact, Ning Zi has been observing this figure through these questions. He suddenly felt that this life, or wisdom, seemed to have the potential to be talkative?

Chapter 273 The Unspeakable Star Field

For Ning Zi, if the other party is a chatterbox, it is obviously good news.

For intelligent creatures, as long as they are willing to communicate, no matter what method they use, they can always reveal more information.

The bad news is that Ning Zi doesn't know if the spaceship still has the recording function at this time. After all, the other party can directly invade the holographic system of the spaceship, which also means that the other party can directly control the spaceship.Naturally, all the records of the conversation between the two can be erased.

So Ning Zi can only maintain a high degree of concentration to carry out this dialogue.

So after the other party's voice fell, Ning Zi quickly asked the second simple question: "So where are we now?"

"If you use the coordinate system to answer, it will obviously not satisfy you. Ning Zi, but if you explain it, it is actually very difficult. You can call it the entrance."

"Entrance? Where's the entrance?"

"Of course it's my world."

Ning Zi thought for a while, and then asked another way: "Okay, then does your world belong to the universe I live in?"

"Haha, isn't this one of the guesses you made before you chose to come to the appointment? Well, I have to admit that I read the memory of that little guy, but the answer can be said to be yes or no. It is difficult for me to use you language for you to understand the concept."

Obviously this answer is not so satisfying.

"Can you find a way to make me understand?" Ning Zi turned into a curious baby and asked.

The holographic simulated portrait shrugged, and after a very humane movement, he explained patiently: "This is indeed a very challenging thing, but first you need to understand what the definition of the universe is, which is really difficult. I Although I am very patient, it is very troublesome to talk about this most basic thing. To put it simply, in your understanding, the universe is a container, but in my understanding, the universe is like a Klein bottle .

To use your academic language to describe it, the universe is a non-directional body, without the distinction between inside and outside, so I can’t accurately define whether this is your universe or not.In the same way, in your definition, one of the basic rules of universe is that, except the medium space, the speed of light is the upper limit of the universe speed.

But in fact, if I can make a stick with a length of about one light-year, and the rigidity of this stick reaches the extreme, that is to say, the transmission of force is instantaneous and will not be slowed down by the distance between particles, then theoretically when I When one end of the stick is moved slightly, the other end of the stick will respond immediately.Look, does this mean that I can easily exceed the speed of light? "

Ning Zi frowned and retorted: "But there is no such a light-speed stick, and even if there is, it is impossible to shake it. The length is [-] million light-years, and it is absolutely rigid. How much is its mass?"

The "person" of the holographic simulation showed a smile: "Look, this is the limitation of your understanding. Your thinking is still solidified within the scope of your cognition, thus denying what may exist. But I agreed, and I will soon It will let you see such a light-speed stick with your own eyes, and then shake it, which is actually very common."

Ok……

Ning Zi felt the lack of knowledge for the first time.But it also gave him infinite hope.

So the next simple question that has been lingering in his mind blurted out: "So have civilizations in the universe been recorded all the time? If so, how have they been recorded?"

"Haha, this question is not too complicated for me, but it is really complicated for you. The answer is yes, but the recorded modes are extremely diverse. In layman's terms, it is two-way travel. Your genes, stars All operations are recorders. When the genes meet the right environment, a similar civilization can be born. Of course, this is only the simplest way to record.

You can't see it because your thinking is still limited under the big framework that the universe cannot be surpassed. When you jump out of the universe and look at the universe again, the answer will become very clear.But trying to do this is hard, so I can understand your ignorance. "

Ning Zi lowered her head slightly.

He could feel the lofty attitude hidden behind the amiable attitude of this virtual image, and to be honest it really made people feel uncomfortable.

But in fact, Ning Zi can bear the disdain of the superiors in words.From a scientific point of view, it is a normal thing to put those who achieve first.What he couldn't bear was the gaze of the other party looking at him through the virtual image of the three-dimensional holographic simulation.

It's hard to describe that feeling, how should I put it, he has an impression of that look, just like when he accompanied his son to the zoo, his son looked at animals.

Yes, Ning Zi can be sure that the other party looked at him as if he was looking at a novel animal when he was explaining his doubts, and he didn't even hide it at all.

Ning Zi can endure the other party's contempt, even direct humiliation.But it was hard for him to bear the attitude of the other party at this time.

It seemed that he felt Ning Zi's displeasure, but the other party just smiled, and there was no displeasure, and he didn't express anything else, just said: "Okay, we've talked for a long time, why don't I show you my world first .”

"Well, but I want to see my March first."

"Oh? It seems that this was my negligence. When I arrived in a brand new place, of course I should be accompanied. This is indeed the characteristic of the civilization born in the socialization model. In short, this is a very reasonable request, and I allowed it."

After finishing speaking, the other party made a movement of snapping his fingers, and the next moment, the kitten, which was still paralyzed there just now, suddenly moved.Then the whole cat jumped up.

"Meow……"

Hearing this familiar cat meow, Ning Zi suddenly felt much more comfortable, and the nervousness just now disappeared.As for the little resentment in the cry, Ning Zi directly ignored it. In fact, his emotions were much more complicated than this simple little resentment.

"Okay, your March is back. I thought maybe you guys needed some alone time, and I'll come back to introduce you to...well, in your terms, probably hometown. See you. Oh, yes, Remember to turn on your external holographic image, your ship is about to come in."

After finishing speaking, before Ning Zi could respond, the holographic simulation figure suddenly flickered, and then the holographic call system was automatically turned off.

Ning Zi looked at March, and the kitten wagged its tail.

"Meow...he said I was a little toy...and updated my core code."

Well, in a word, let Ning Zi pay homage to the programming ability of that figure just now.

The core code of March is too delicate for him to touch at present.Just like the turbulent flow algorithm, it affects the whole body.At least Ning Zi never had the idea of ​​touching the core code of March.

"Well, then what?"

"Meow, for example, let me master an extremely efficient compression algorithm, the singularity lossless compression method. After using this compression algorithm, my core code is only 2.3M, and my core program can still be compressed. By the way, I have also compressed all the data inside the spaceship. Now the storage space utilization rate of the spaceship is only 0.21%."

Ning Zi was stunned.

The core database part of March is actually not big, about 4.83GB.In other words, this guy just casually updated the March code, and the previous 4.83GB content can be losslessly compressed to 2.3MB.

Although the guy just said some mysterious and mysterious things, which made people feel unclear, but doing it is obviously more shocking than saying it.

This compression technology... is against the sky.

After a while, Ning Zi asked, "What's the reason?"

"Meow, it can be understood as the information storage method before the Big Bang. When all the mass is gathered at one point, it also means that all the information is compressed in an infinitely small space, and huge energy is also stored in the At this infinitely small point, the moment of explosion will produce a chain effect and release huge energy at the same time.

This algorithm is a reversible algorithm realized by using the principle of the Big Bang.Our information is stored and represented in a binary form in the form of discrete information.Singularity algorithm is to transform discrete information into the most basic particle state through mapping, conversion and reorganization, so as to achieve the purpose of compression. "

In other words, this compression algorithm can theoretically further compress the information, but limited by our hardware technology on the spacecraft, it can only be compressed to this extent.If our hardware technology can be updated, theoretically using this algorithm can further compress the information, and its limit is probably to compress all the information on the earth from the beginning of the electronic storage technology to the present to within 1G.

Of course I could be wrong about the limit.Since he hasn't updated my hardware, I currently have no way of knowing where the limits of storage hardware design lie.After all, his updated algorithm is based on our hardware design logic. "

"Oh..." Ning Zi replied.

Then start to operate on the airborne computer on the conning tower.

Sure enough, the information database on board has been optimized, including the most important basic information database.The database addressing using the new algorithm is obviously more efficient. Obviously, this compression algorithm also has its own addressing function.

For a moment, Ning Zi felt an extremely absurd feeling in his heart.

Just this compression algorithm, if someone on earth developed it, it would probably be a god immediately, right?With this algorithm, Ning Zi even felt that its value could not be measured with the currency of the earth.Thinking of the fact that scientists on Earth have worked hard for more than ten years to develop various communication technologies just to increase bandwidth, Ning Zi feels a little worthless for them.

If this kind of compression algorithm can be developed on the earth, and then the hardware technology can be fully overcome, the 2G network can not only watch 8K high-definition video, but also the download speed can probably be comparable to the 6G era.

It's just that there is no time to continue studying this technology at this time. After Ning Zi took a deep breath, he reopened the holographic image in the system on the main control computer.

Soon the projections around the spaceship appeared, but it was still pitch black.

But soon Ning Zi saw a few lights appearing at the position pointed by the bow of the spacecraft. This time, Ning Zi did not need to operate on the computer. In March, he directly started to control the computer, released the small deep-space telescope on the spacecraft, and then Ignoring the darkness around him, he pointed the camera at the bright spot.

The image quickly became clear. Well, Ning Zi’s imaging speed is obviously faster. Such a fast imaging speed is definitely not just the reason for supporting the update of the underlying algorithm of the system, because the laws of physics determine the speed at which this small deep-space telescope acquires images. is capped.

It can only be understood that the physical laws governing this space may be different from the physical laws on the earth. If it is understood forcibly, it is probably somewhat similar to some physical laws of the medium space.But no matter what, Ning Zi finally saw the hometown of this unknown civilization...

It should be a star, and there are two rings around the star, which are more clear. The two rings are like two strings of rosary beads, composed of spheres, and all these spheres are connected in the middle...

Suddenly, Ning Zi felt that he had found the reason why this star field was so empty.When all the matter in the galaxy is sorted into a suitable position around the star to form a habitable zone, all the matter around the galaxy is naturally emptied.

The benefits are obvious. The light energy emitted by the stars is utilized to the greatest extent. This is definitely a more radical way of using energy than the Dyson sphere, and it has even exceeded the limit of Ning Zi's imagination.

After all, in the future he planned for the earth, it was nothing more than starting to transform habitable planets before reaching a galaxy, moving the planets to a suitable position, just like moving Enceladus; or using artificial heat sources to create a planet. A livable planet is like the Mars transformation plan.

But here is different, directly reorganize the matter in the galaxy, stack it into the habitable zone around the star, and then let these spheres rotate independently of each other, fully absorb the light and heat brought by the star, and improve the energy efficiency to the highest.

What's more frightening is that when the camera shifted, Ning Zi found that the scene around each halo that appeared in the camera was the same, a star with a planetary ring composed of many planets...

Countless asteroids surround the star, and these asteroids seem to be physically connected by something...

Of course, the asteroids mentioned here are only in relative terms. Ning Zi glanced at the imaging multiplier displayed by the system, and could easily calculate that the asteroids he saw at this time were at least three times the size of the earth.

Really, Ning Zi's brain was completely confused at this time.

This is completely against the many attempts at physics he has been exposed to.

Why didn't such a dense accumulation of so much matter form a black hole?

How heavy should the gravity of these planets be?

How did they manage to operate in such an orderly manner?

Don't gravitational waves really interfere with each other?

He even suspected that what he saw at this time were all illusions...

But at this moment, a familiar voice interjected forcefully: "How about it? These are all amusement parks I carefully designed, including zoos, botanical gardens, comprehensive gardens, and deduction gardens..."

"So you are the legendary god?"

"God? Uh... Actually, I don't like this title very much. Because the so-called god creatures recorded in your civilization should be found in my zoo and comprehensive garden. You are very lucky, I am willing to take you Go and see...By the way, your spaceship is called Kuafu, which means a giant who only knows how to run after the sun, right? Do you want to see the prototype?"

Chapter 274 The Person You Want to See But Never Seen

"The end of science is theology?"

"If you understand it from the theological meaning given by your language, of course not. It is nothing more than the difference in the development path of civilization. The meaning given to gods by civilization in your era is not beyond human nature. Therefore, in your era of civilization, all descriptions of gods , It’s just a person with stronger abilities. It’s like you tried to understand my existence as a god just now, this is the limitation, of course I can understand and forgive your ignorance.”

"So what's the end of science?"

"The definition of science in your civilization is the study and summary of natural laws, and transforming natural laws into usable resources. So as long as the underlying rules are changing, scientific research is endless. Different developments stage, it is necessary to pursue different laws of development. Just like the god you mentioned just now, in the chaotic era at the beginning of the universe, it is suitable for the burst of individual savage power.

Their science is how to use the greater power.The former is as if you have summed up microcosmic and mathematical laws, created computers and networks, and made computing power a resource.The latter, like those gods that many of you believe in, by summarizing the laws of the operation of macro forces, create all kinds of things that your civilization calls magic weapons.

In short, unless there is a kind of wisdom that can clearly study all the constant cyclical laws, and can deduce all changes in the world from this, at that time, it will probably be considered the end of science.But if that kind of wisdom really touches this node, maybe the world will generate new rules. "

"Haven't even you touched the end node yet?"

"Haha, of course. That little toy of yours... Oh, no, it should be a cute artificial intelligence system, which stores the information of two or three universes, so you should understand that the nearly infinite universe in your eyes is not the only one , so that it is very difficult to touch that node. From my perspective, I cannot look through the endless universe, and I can only simulate and deduce possible unknown possibilities within the known range as much as possible.”

Ning Zi carefully savored the information revealed in the other party's language, and the deduction of the universe with March emerged in her mind.

The cosmic bubble theory is, of course, wrong.

The structure cannot be that simple, because the other party said before that the universe is an amorphous body similar to the Klein bottle, so even if there are multiple universes, the connection between these universes cannot be a separate one as calculated before. individuals and are connected by a medium space.

At this moment, Ning Zi probably understood what the other party meant.

He does not yet have the ability to detach from this universe to observe the universe, and correspondingly, he is temporarily unable to understand all the laws of the universe's operation.

"Actually, I have to admit that your earth civilization is very respectable. Because your mere hundreds of years of research history have confirmed that the absolute reference system does not exist this iron law. It took me a thousand years to think about it. solved this problem. This probably proves the respectability of social division of labor civilization.”

Ning Zi let out a breath, he was a little uncomfortable with this sudden compliment, and his mentality was different after all.Although he believes that the other party doesn't mean PUA, but the way of chatting aloofly is actually similar to PUA.

Fortunately, Ning Zi doesn't need to put all his thoughts on communicating with this unknown intelligent creature at this moment.At this time, he had already set his sights overboard.

At this time, the picture of those galaxies became clearer, and he could even see clearly that what connected the circle of huge planets was actually a chain of planets?
