01006 Measuring Tape of Time
"So...... That's the truth you want me to see? You Gege has not announced, another book "Self-Consciousness"? Zhuo Zhiwen asked.
Han Kongwen shook his head and said, "You are only half right. ”
"Huh?"
"It's true that these things were found from You Gege, but it's hard to say whether they are fragments of You Gege's memories or something that really exists...... As for whether there is another book of "Freedom of Consciousness" that has not been released to the public...... I think it should exist, but it has nothing to do with any of that. ”
"Tsk...... You've confused me, since you said it was a fragment of Yougege's memory, why is there still a true or false one? ”
"Because this is one of the powers that You Gege has after completing his transformation."
"Oh? To be specific? ”
"Constructing an alternate reality."
This time Zhuo Zhiwen understood, but she still felt very incredible.
Why is it You Gege, how did she get her transformation? Why would she do that?
So Zhuo Zhiwen then asked, "What is the purpose of all this?" ”
"We're still investigating."
"Huh?" Zhuo Zhiwen frowned: "You don't want to tell me, you are also in the clouds, you haven't figured it out at all, right?" ”
Han Kongwen shook her head again, this time with a smile, she said, "Actually, there are already some eyebrows, but it's relatively troublesome to sort out." ”
Zhuo Zhiwen: "Then have you sorted it out?" ”
Han Kongwen didn't speak, she closed her eyes, and then Zhuo Zhiwen felt that a huge amount of information poured into her memory.
It was ferocious and swift.
When the memory synchronization was completed, Han Kongwen gave Zhuo Zhiwen some time to get used to it.
After a long time, she asked, "How is it?" Did you find anything? ”
Zhuo Zhiwen held her forehead, feeling a burst of nausea and wanted to retch, which was a problem caused by excessive weakness.
"Found a lot of ...... But it's messy......"
Han Kongwen smiled, she took out a crystal plate, and then combed through them one by one.
"Then let's sort out the starting point of it all."
Starting Point ......
"Yes, from the moment we received a distress signal from Earth."
……
We were amazed when we received a distress signal from Earth.
But it was just surprise, because we knew that the person who gave the signal could have been dead many, many years ago.
However, when we begin to analyze this distress signal, we find that this is not simply a "call for help", but more like a warning, a warning from the past, for us in the future.
"Warning?"
Yes, warning.
We may have misunderstood it from the beginning and simply thought it was a tragedy.
But in reality, our forefathers are warning us in this way.
We are warned that what has happened on Earth in the past is about to repeat itself on our new home, Gaia.
"Oh...... What is happening on Earth...... Are you referring to the cause of the 'Tinder Origin Project'? ”
Yes.
Our scientists and historians have been trying to find out why humans fled the planet, but most of the research reports contain too much speculation and inference, and no one can explain why we are leaving the planet.
It wasn't until we discovered the "factor" that it all came to mind.
"'Factor'...... Not...... This thing is indeed mysterious...... But I didn't expect that in order to continue our civilization, we would actually use a 'factor bomb' on Gaia Star......"
This is Prometheus' decision, and it is already in the past tense.
And the "factor" we are going to talk about now is not the part that is used as a weapon, but the part that is used to touch time.
"Touch time?"
Yes, our researchers have recently found a way to achieve bipyramidal symmetrical collapse in space using factors, and based on this technological breakthrough, you and I can sit across from each other like this and discuss problems.
"And what if you don't have the technology?"
Then we will complete the exchange of consciousness at an uncertain time, which is what we think of as a two-way "invasion" between the past and the future.
That is to say...... Now this exchange of consciousness is controllable, and it can be done face-to-face, right? ”
Yes.
"That'...... Where is this place where we are now? Is it the earth? Or Gaia? ”
No, this is a part of what we have extracted from You Gege's memory, and it is one of the more specific clues we currently have.
"Memory Extraction...... Super Yuan intervenes?! ”
You're very perceptive, and we've used techniques similar to Hyper Intervention here, but we've made a few improvements.
"You ...... Already mastered the ability to time travel? ”
Not so exaggerated...... However, we have found a way to break through the paradox of time, and the previous divergent path has been too long, but we have finally found the right direction.
"It's incredible...... Then you should be able to find the truth easily, right, why are you still lingering here? ”
The reason is simple, because when we use this technology to peek into the world, we find that it ...... Humanity disappeared long before the birth of the Tinder Origin Project.
"What?! How can it be? ”
Right...... When I first saw this reality, I thought I had been deceived, but many years later, when I peered into the past with the same technique, I found out...... That's the truth.
Mankind......
It has become extinct at some indefinite point in time.
"That's not right! If humanity is extinct, what is your history? A whole piece of lie? ”
No, the extinction of humanity is a fait accompli, and so is our existence, the question is how to look at time.
"What do you think about time?"
Yes.
For a long time, we have believed that time is like a road of no return, and the fate of countless people is intertwined to form a completed trajectory of human history.
In the usual sense, if we could go back in time, history would be changed, that is, I might have killed my father and then I would have disappeared, which is the classic paradox of time.
"Isn't that right?"
Yes, according to the usual logic, this theory is so tight that it is close to perfect.
But in fact, the past we go to has become our future, which means that we are not returning to the past, but putting the past in front of us, and we will see many familiar scenery through this repeated road.
But on this path, even if we kill ourselves, we will not disappear at this moment.
Because we come from the past, not from the past.
"That's a hard ...... to understand."
It's a bit puzzling.
But if you compare time to a measuring stick, your past exists between 2 centimeters and 5 centimeters, and at this moment you are at 6 centimeters.
At this time, you take the past 2-5 centimeters and perfectly reproduce the future you are about to face.
So is the time between 6-9 cm and 2-5 cm exactly the same?
“…… It's different, I seem to understand......"
That's good.
"But I still have a question."
What the?
"If I hadn't killed myself, would I have met another self when I passed 9 centimeters, at a position of 10 centimeters?"
No.
"Why?"
Because the universe is diverse, what you experience here and now will not completely change the future you will face at that moment.
It's like a cage from which you can't get out.
Even if we can repeat everything we have experienced in the past an infinite number of times, the memories that are trapped in it will always only exist in that fragment.
In other words, when you really pass the 9cm position, even if you walk with yourself, she will stop at 9cm and will never be able to take another step forward.
"Is there a basic rule of transcendent intervention?"
Yes.
The reason why I can answer you so clearly is because there was a person who tried to change the past, tried to bring back those people in his memory from the past.
But he failed...... Over and over......
“…… I see, so what does this have to do with the problem we are facing now? ”
What the?
"Since we can't change the past, after the extinction of the human race, who turned the tide and started the 'Origin of Fire'?"
Don't you want to know how we got extinct first?
"There are many ways to go extinction, but since the ending is the same, why bother with details."
Yes......
After the extinction of humanity, according to our current understanding of time, it is impossible for us to have a chance to start the "Tinder Origin" project.
Unless......
"Unless?"
Unless the reality we glimpse is fictional, an uncertain variable that exists on the other side.
It hasn't happened yet, and it could be changed.
"It's not possible, but it's changed, right?"
Do you really think so?
"Isn't it? Isn't that the best proof that you're from the future, from the planet Gaia? ”
No...... I don't think so.
"That'...... So what do you mean? ”
I've been exposed to a lot of incredible things in my life.
The first incredible thing that brought me to my life was Yang Yurong.
She took me to see reality.
And I thought it was all an illusion.
Sunrise and sunset, three hundred and sixty-five days, this high wall in front of you is reality.
Like a prisoner who has been held for decades.
I don't try to break through it anymore, I accept it with peace of mind, and I can't do without it.
Until...... Until he showed up.
Like him, I once believed that breaking through the shackles and allowing humanity to embrace freedom could lead to transcendent civilizational progress.
I accidentally discovered that there was an absolute power called the "Center Curtain" on top of the world after the golden birdcage was broken.
Under the cover of its power, humans are like a bunch of naughty and headstrong children.
No matter how many times there are protests, the result is the same.
"Same...... That's not right...... When the Transcendents appeared for the last time, hadn't Lin Sen already used the power of the Heart Wall and the Lightcast Kabbalah to deceive An Youren and the Central Curtain? ”
……
Han Kongwen shook his head.
"No...... He didn't leave because of the victory...... Rather, it's because there's still a long way to go from the truth. ”
"This ......" Zhuo Zhiwen didn't know what to do when she heard this.
True and false.
False, false, true.
Three Thousand Ukiyo-......
Where is the place of peace of mind?
