There is a dazzling colorful light in the center of the temporary circular fortress, twisting and flickering, sometimes expanding and sometimes collapsing, surrounded by misty dust. The strange thing is that these dusts seem to follow two physical rules. The surrounding clouds of dust will suddenly It disappears and appears in another place, and the dust in the inner layer floats into the light group, and then appears from above again, and the cycle starts again.
Anchor point, the location where the fundamental world and the spiritual world initially interact and merge with each other.
As the group approached, Li Liang noticed that there were withered plant roots scattered around, and some vines even extended into the anchor point.
"Damn goblins," Bond cursed when he saw this scene, "They actually control the spiritual door in such a crude way!"
Li Liang asked worriedly: "Will there be any hidden dangers?"
"That's not true, it's just that it's troublesome to clean up." Bond waved his hand, turned around the anchor point, cleared his throat and said, "Before introducing the three planning options, please allow me to briefly introduce the spirit. Reason the world.”
"Please explain this in detail," Li Liang said seriously.
Last time on the Pangbotans' spaceship, Lao Yang also talked about the distribution of the three general areas, but the vernacular was really confusing. Bond was reliable, and the Tifami people's "services" "Attitude" is quite good. In such a short time, Bond learned to speak Mandarin fluently.
Li Liang decided that from now on, everyone who comes to earth as a guest will learn Mandarin from me.
"Okay," Bond took out a matchbox-sized device from his pocket, bent down and placed it on the open space in front of the anchor point.
The next moment, the device projected a dazzling "star map", which was a columnar three-dimensional structure filled with shining "stars". There were two obvious longitudinal structures, and the stars were densely packed inside, like a winding "Galaxy", connecting the entire The column is divided into three areas.
Bond said to everyone: "Behind me is a space navigation map widely used by carbon-based organisms, also called a total domain transition point distribution map. Before explaining this map, I need to make some additional explanations about the common existence of carbon-based organisms. The defect in thinking...that is, we cannot intuitively imagine 'infinity'. In other words, carbon-based organisms cannot understand 'infinity'." Bond looked around at the crowd, "Who can tell me how big infinity is?"
No one answered, and Bond smiled: "Then let me change the question. Does anyone think that even if the universe you live in is infinitely vast, it 'should' exist inside another 'thing'. There will always be something. 'Carry it, right?"
Cain, K, and Li Ru nodded at the same time.
"This is a common problem among carbon-based intelligent creatures," Bond pointed to his eyes. "We use up, down, left, and right to determine our position to understand space. At the same time, our senses are very weak, which makes it impossible for us to imagine too much. Big things, such as..." He shook the hat in his hand, "Imagine how big a mountain 100 million of these hats could pile up?"
Li Liang stared at the hat and tried his best to imagine, but found that he did have a very vague feeling about the unit of "hundred million". One hundred million is ten million, one hundred million, one thousand one hundred thousand... Mathematically speaking, it is good. I understand, but 100 million hats is hard to imagine...
Everyone looked at Dr. Xisen unconsciously. After all, among the humans present, Dr. Xisen had the highest academic qualifications.
Noticing everyone's gazes, Dr. Sisson said: "Bond is right. Human beings cannot intuitively imagine 'infinity'. Most people's feelings of 'thousands' and above are already very vague. In fact, humans often encounter counter-intuitive situations." phenomenon, such as the simplest one, light." The old man pointed to the light source on the dome, "We all know that the speed of light is about 300,000 kilometers per second. If you also move at a speed of close to 300,000 kilometers per second, then Will light slow down or even stop relative to you?"
K wondered: "No way?"
"Of course not. The speed of light relative to you is still 300,000 kilometers per second," Dr. Xisen spread his hands.
"..."
At this time, Bond shook his body comically to attract everyone's attention, then pointed sideways at the "Star Map" and said: "Because we cannot understand 'infinity', we have to use a simple way to understand the space of the spiritual world. ,like this……"
A large number of lines light up in the "Star Map", intertwined into spherical shapes that are close together. At a glance, the entire "Star Map" looks like a large cylindrical jar filled with balls. Each ball is The interior of the ball contains from one to more than ten "stars."
"Each sphere represents an 'infinite' space." Bond's fingertips projected a slender beam of light, pointing at a sphere in the left corner. "This is the space where the Earth's spiritual door is located. There are thirteen shining dots inside, representing thirteen transition points. The ball next to it is the space where the Tower Star civilization is located. Please note that this adjacency is not the 'adjacent' we imagined. "
Everyone looked at each other.
"The space where humans are located is adjacent to the space where Tower Star is located on the space navigation map. This is just because if you pass through the turning point of human space, you will reach the space where the spiritual gate of Tower Star civilization is located. These two All spaces are 'infinite', not two 'limited' spaces adjacent to each other..."
Dr. Xisen nodded: "I understand, this picture is not an orientation diagram, it is actually a schematic diagram summarized."
"That's right," Bond breathed a sigh of relief, "At first, the Creation Titans only provided the distribution of jump points in the Dark Spirit Domain. Civilizations from the fundamental world repeatedly traveled through each jump point and concluded this rules."
Li Liang said: "Please continue."
"It's easy to understand next," the beam at Bond's fingertips crossed the space navigation map, "When the pioneers from the physical world first started exploring, they found that the space they arrived through the jump point was very thin in spirit. Until one day, they met the River Toad people. The River Toad people guarded hundreds of millions of special transition points. Through these transition points, the pioneers entered a spiritual space, and from the transition points in that space to Every space in the world is rich in spirit, so the pioneers called the previous spaces the Dark Spirit Realm, and the spiritual-rich space the Central Realm. Later, they discovered the Void Realm."
Speaking of this, Bond's fingertips crossed the Dark Spirit Sea: "The jump points in other spaces are stable and unchanging, but in the space where the Toad Man is, hundreds of millions of jump points are constantly changing, like a dangerous path. In the early days, only the River Toad people could accurately determine which turning point led to the central domain. Therefore, the River Toad people were called the "Dark Spirit Sea Ferryers". However, many people, including the Tifami people, All civilizations have the technology to search for jump points, and they no longer need the guidance of the river frog people."
Li Liang suddenly realized.
This is the origin of the ferryman. Fortunately, the river frog people are kind and hospitable and are willing to help civilizations from the physical world for free. Otherwise, these civilizations that broke into the spiritual world might have been trapped in the Dark Spirit General Domain.
"I won't go into details about the Void Sea and the Total Void Domain. The situation there is more complicated." Bond pointed to the space where the human spiritual door is located again. "Let us focus our attention here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ball in the lower left corner of the entire space navigation map suddenly enlarged.
"The number of jump points in each space is not fixed. Some have only one, and some have many. Please see, the space where the human spiritual door is located has thirteen jump points, roughly surrounding the spiritual door. Door distribution.”
As Bond spoke, thirteen bright spots flickered, vaguely forming a spherical shape.
"For the sake of peace, the Council of Law and Order does not allow the exact location of any spiritual door to appear on the space navigation map." Bond pointed to the center area surrounded by the jump point. "Roughly estimated, the spiritual door leading to the earth The door is probably here."
Everyone came forward and looked up.
"The form of the spiritual gate can be controlled through the anchor point. The most primitive form is...well, it is what it looks like here." Bond gestured around, "The anchor point space exists independently. On the spiritual world side, The Spiritual Gate is a sphere with a diameter of ten...well, ten kilometers, and one side of the Spiritual World is a sphere with a diameter of more than ten thousand kilometers."
Li Liang nodded and asked again: "Why is there water on the ground on the side of the spiritual world, and there are clouds in the sky, and the pressure and air quality are similar to those on the earth. By the way, it also rains."
"This is the magic of spiritual gates," Bond said with a smile. "Every spiritual gate in the fundamental world is located on the planet where intelligent life was born. While the rules interact and merge at the anchor point, the spiritual gates The environment outside the door will also slowly change. Because of this, when the spiritual door is opened, the lives that pass through the spiritual door will not die immediately. You must know that not all spiritual worlds open the spiritual door. Civilizations have enough power to protect themselves, such as Tower Star. Until now, Tower Star civilization is only a type of civilization, following a backward clan system. When the Tower Star people first entered the spiritual world, they only had a Glass shell.”
"So the spiritual gates of other civilizations have different environments?"
"Yes," Bond nodded, "but most of the original spiritual gates of carbon-based organisms are shallow waters. After all, water is the source of carbon-based life."
Makes sense.
Li Liang thought of what he had seen in Makosik. If humans passed through the spiritual gate and faced an extreme environment like the silicon-based biozone, which is close to minus 200 degrees Celsius, it would be really difficult.
The thought flashed through his mind and he came to his senses. Here is the key part.
Bond continued: "Opening the door to spiritual science is a choice that every powerful civilization will make. Resting on one's own will definitely lead to backwardness, while trade and cultural exchanges mean progress. If you want to truly stand in the spiritual world civilization In the forest, the first thing to do is to build the gate of spiritual principles. It is a window for a civilization to display its unique culture and products, and it is also a manifestation of the comprehensive strength of a civilization. The same is true for human beings. Soon, human beings will welcome people from different countries. Visitors to civilization, and flourishing in the collision of culture and commerce, I believe that one day, humans will be qualified to build a city in the Central Territory, and the glory of that city will be as glorious as Makosik!"
At the end of the sentence, Bond's voice was mellow and powerful, making Li Liang want to...
Bang bang bang...
Dr. Sisson applauded: "Well said!"
Unfortunately, except for Dr. Sisson, everyone else acted calmly.
We are all pragmatic adults. Just listen to this kind of pie with no character. There is not even a hair on the door of human spiritual theory. How can we talk about greatness and glory?
However, although Li Liang was not too excited, he firmly believed in his heart that the future described by Bond would definitely come true.
Start today!
Bond expressed his gratitude to Dr. Sisson for his support and continued: "So, how to build the spiritual gate is a problem faced by all civilizations. There are three mainstream planning plans. I can roughly summarize them as: Du Yujing style , Avalon style and Makosik style. Of course, the above three cities are all in the central general area and are not spiritual gates. What I am referring to here is the way of space transformation."
Everyone listened intently.
"The first type, Doyukyo style," Bond's fingertips traced the thirteen jump points in the space where the human spiritual door is located. The form is expanded enough to carry the World Tree, and then construction is carried out on the surface of the Spiritual Gate, while the anchor space will be hidden as the center for controlling the Spiritual Gate, and only those with authorization can enter."
Li Liang realized that in this case, the anchor point space was probably equivalent to the "Tiangong Imperial City". When he entered and exited the capital city, he used the ultra-distance portal. He had never tried to fly directly out of the "Departure Plain" in a spaceship. The true form of Yujing is a "planet" suspended in space. The city is backed by mountains and is located on the ground, while the "imperial city" is in the sky.
"The advantage of the Capital City style is that the city as a whole is built based on the Spiritual Gate. Humans can completely control the city and have great strategic depth." Bond drew a line from a jump point to connect to the Spiritual Gate. "If an enemy invades through the jump point, humans can easily deploy multiple lines of defense in these areas."
"Well," Li Liang nodded, "What are the shortcomings?"
"Once construction begins, the volume of the Spiritual Gate cannot be changed except under extreme circumstances, otherwise the surface building..." Bond made a motion of breaking it into powder, "Of course, you can make it very big at the beginning. Big, but too vast a ground is meaningless. The construction cost, transportation cost, and management cost are very high. Believe me, the creatures in the spiritual world still like a lively and crowded place. In addition, the space where the spiritual door is located is' Infinite, without controlling the jump points, then other places are completely open, and other civilizations can also explore and occupy certain valuable areas at will and are not bound by the "Makosik Convention", such as here," Bond pointed at the Misty Realm, "Are humans ready to abandon the Misty Realm? Although this place of fallen gods is dangerous, danger often means treasure."
Li Liang shook his head: "The next one."
The Chawu Realm must be the back garden of mankind. Others who want to enter and die must "buy a ticket."
"The second type, Avalon style," Bond smiled, "controls all jump points and extends the spiritual door into a vast plain. The anchor point is located deep in the plain. You can only reach this point by crossing the jump points. Located on a plain, its shortcomings are obvious. The jump point is very stable and can only be defended passively. It cannot control the rules like the spiritual gate. It is constantly changing. Avalon City has already suffered a lot. When the jump point was breached, the coalition forces marched straight in. "
Li Liang knew this very well.
In the previous counterattack on Avalon, the coalition forces crossed the jump point and appeared on the plain. Although the goblins built huge thorn walls and magic walls and established a defense line, they were still too close to Avalon, even without him as a demigod. , it is only a matter of time before the coalition forces invade Avalon.
"The advantage of this planning method is that the Makosik Convention stipulates that once all jump points are controlled, other areas of space are unique to that civilization," Bond explained, "Furthermore, crossing the jump points Being able to reach the city will give visitors a 'home away from home' feeling, and before the goblins launched their war, Avalon was a very lively city."
"What about the third type?"
Bond looked around the crowd: "Everyone must feel that the above two seem to be extreme, so is there a compromise solution? Yes, Makosik style, a way of satellite city guarding the door of spiritual truth," Bond pointed his finger along the A circle was drawn around the approximate location of the Spiritual Principle Gate, "In non-wartime conditions, control the jump point to guide visitors to the Spiritual Principle Gate, but not on the surface, but relying on the Spiritual Principle Gate to build a topological space …”
Hearing this word, Li Liang immediately remembered the unpleasant experience when he first arrived in Makosik. The strong dizziness was still fresh in his memory. When walking in Makosik, it was not the people who were moving, but the whole world. People were moving. Like a hamster running on a wheel, the city is built on the inside of the wheel.
"Why do you have to do topology?" He said with a wry smile, "It's too dizzy."
"The jump point is not a portal. There are currently only two fixed guidance methods," Bond spread his hands, "However, the incompatibility of the sense of space can be improved. After all, this is the door of human spirituality, and it will be understood in terms of human space. Know the way.”
"Ah, that's good, continue."
"The Makosik Convention stipulates that in this way, other areas of the space are also open. In order to avoid the disadvantages of the 'Du Yujing' style, Makosik established seven satellite cities. These cities are distributed in seven Near the jump point, it serves as a fortress during wartime, guarding the jump point, and is connected to Makosik through the portal during non-war times. In this way, the satellite city is part of the Spiritual Gate, and the "Maxik Convention" The area where the satellite city is located will be protected, and other civilizations cannot go to other places without the consent of the satellite city.
For humans, you need...sorry, at least fourteen satellite cities, thirteen of which are assigned to jump points, and one is built outside the Chamom Realm. "
Bond blinked: "The only disadvantage of this planning method is... it's expensive."
