The content of the civilized bet is: [The person performing the contract, Su Mingan, must restart the Dawn System within twenty days. 】
Then, as long as the "Performer Su Mingan" is never able to reach the twentieth day, this civilized bet will become a piece of paper.
When Su Mingan arrives on the nineteenth day, he will meet Akto, who will ask him to go back to the past and hand over his identity as a "performer" to himself on the first day.
From a causal perspective only, when "Su Ming'an from the past" has experienced nineteen days and meets Akto again, Akto will let "Su Ming'an from the past" go back to the past and hand over the identity of the "performer" Give the next self on the first day, that is, the "Su Ming'an of the past", to achieve infinite recursion.
The time in the ruined world is grid time. As long as Su Mingan exists in this world, it will leave traces in the system, no matter the past, present, or future. Although only the current Su Ming'an is the real "player Su Ming'an", he in the past can also be counted in the definition of "Su Ming'an".
This is a loophole in the text of "Performer: Su Ming'an". The text can only refer to one "object" and cannot refer to "Su Ming'an" on a specific timeline.
The Su Ming'an of the present can boldly move towards the future, while the "Su Ming'an" of the past has the "Su Ming'an of the past" to help him reach the nineteenth day.
——In this way, it becomes an ouroboros with no beginning or end of cause and effect.
The identity of "Performer Su Ming'an" will cycle back and forth in the handover between the past and the present, from the 19th day back to the first day, from the first day to the 19th day, and from the 19th day back to the first day. . The twentieth day is never reached.
"..."
In the white light, Su Mingan clenched the chocolate in his hand, his heart beating very fast, and the ladder of thinking was built in his mind, gradually building a complete palace.
He had some fuzzy thoughts, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Su Ming'an, the cause and effect of Ouroboros are directly connected. It is impossible to have an effect without cause, or a cause without effect, because once you lose one of them, you will not be able to stand here. We can The basis of the conversation here is that you have linked this cause and effect at a certain point in time, maybe in the past, maybe in the future." Akto said: "That is, if there is a cause, there must be an effect, and if there is an effect, it must be inferred backwards. because."
"I understand." Su Mingan's voice was hoarse, and the impact of this information was too great for him. Without Akto's explanation, he wouldn't have been able to figure it out.
It's like the grandmother paradox - if you went back in time and killed your grandmother. Without your grandmother, you would not have been born into the world. But the question is, if you were not born, who killed your grandmother?
The current situation is similar to Su Ming'an being in a Schrödinger state of "killing grandma" and "not killing grandma". Only if "his grandmother had not been killed" could he successfully reach the nineteenth day. If "his grandmother had been killed", he would not have been able to reach the nineteenth day and would not have heard these theories.
When he stands here, this cause and effect has already existed. His "grandmother" must be alive now. What he has to do is to go back to the past and stop himself from "killing his grandmother". ….
He cannot measure this three-dimensional battle in terms of linear time. Time here is just a network. You can jump the chess pieces to one grid, or jump across parallel lines to another grid. You can even fold this network in half. Four copies, one for 1 year, one for 32 years, one for 72 years, and one for 102 years.
In other words, we must throw away all normal definitions of time. Normal definitions will not work in a ruined world.
Time must be understood in terms of space.
Just like a Klein bottle - there is a hole at the bottom of a bottle. Now extend the neck of the bottle to pull it into the bottle and connect it to the hole at the bottom. Unlike the cups we usually use to drink water, this Klein bottle does not have "Edge", its surface never ends. A butterfly can fly directly from the inside of the bottle to the outside without crossing the surface, that is, there is no distinction between inside and outside of the Klein bottle.
Now, Su Mingan is like that butterfly. As long as he passes through the Klein bottle composed of three dimensions, he can return to the initial program and type in the letter that Akto has vacated in advance, making the order
The causal link becomes ouroboros.
In the field of mathematics, a Klein bottle is a non-directional plane, a concept in which the inside and outside are completely indistinguishable. If the universe is compared to a Klein bottle of a higher dimension, the universe is also boundless.
Although humans think they are in the universe, they may also exist outside the universe. The boundaries between "inside" and "outside" are not clear. No matter how humans explore, they may eventually return to the same starting point, just like The Klein bottle that is never full.
The Möbius strip is very distorted in two-dimensional space, but it is very reasonable in three-dimensional space. In the same way, although the Klein bottle looks very strange in three-dimensional space, it has the characteristics of four-dimensional space. No directionality.
Since reality is a three-dimensional space, using real-world theories to explain the Klein bottle belonging to the four-dimensional space will seem awkward anyway.
But it's reasonable.
The cause and effect, and the distinction between inside and outside of the ruined world are like a Klein bottle.
"...Have you figured it out?"
Under the pure white light, Akto drank tea again. His posture is particularly leisurely, like a mentor waiting for his students to understand.
The fragrance of tea filled the air, and Su Mingan stared blankly at the Ouroboros pattern swimming in the air. After a moment, he said: "I still don't understand, I'm sorry. But after the world copy is over, I will continue to discuss it with Noel and others. .”
These theories of Akto have gone far beyond the scope of the ruined world, and even touched the level of cosmology. Su Ming'an recorded all these words so that they could discuss them in secret when they celebrate the New Year with Noel and the others.
Maybe there will be new ideas to confront the organizers.
Su Mingan's eyes darkened a little, and the tower of thoughts was about to be submerged by the flood.
The previous simulation is superimposed on this simulation. The end of this simulation may also be the beginning of the next simulation. Time is like a Klein bottle in high dimensions. In the eyes of high dimensions, time is more of a 'dimension. Expressed with 'cause and effect', rather than simply 'linear time'.
This kind of thinking may help him fight against Gao Dimension. ….
Su Mingan put his hand on his chest and felt his heart pounding. A new window had opened in front of him, and theories he had never seen before were poured into his mind.
On the first day when the dungeon was opened, he would never have thought that the nature of the ruined world would be so complicated - four timelines were not enough, a three-dimensional firewall theory was needed, and a firewall theory was not enough, a bunch of titles were also needed. The tail snake, the Möbius strip, the Klein bottle, the grandmother's paradox, and even the cosmic program theory.
This is much broader than the battle between the two gods in the sky. Clues upon clues, theories upon theories, it’s a huge mystery made up of a whole world.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just do as I say." Akto put down the tea cup: "After all, you are still young and have not even had in-depth exposure to mathematics and physics. Many theories are difficult for you to understand. I believe if you can With enough lifespan and your will, you can do better than me."
"How can I compare to you?" Su Mingan shook his head.
It is difficult for him to even understand these theories, how can he compare with the founder of the theory.
"So specifically, what should I do?" Su Mingan said.
Akto stood up.
Flower-like white light surrounded him, and he walked in this pure white space:
"Su Mingan, the Central City Laboratory in Catastrophe 72 - that is, where you started, is a transfer station, used to store the real Dawn system. The Central City Laboratory does not belong to any dimension, it does not belong to any dimension. The first year of the three-dimensional world does not belong to the 32nd year of the two-dimensional world, nor does it belong to the 102nd year of the city of measurement. It is independent."
"I see." Su Mingan understood. It seems that the real Dawn system is placed in this transfer station and protected.
"The time in the Central City Laboratory has been repeated within five days because we need to constantly reset the coordinates of this 'transfer station.'" Akto said: "Otherwise, if the time in the Central City Laboratory continues, Easily like the other three dimensions one
In this way, the coordinates are locked by [other dimensions]. "
Su Mingan nodded.
No wonder no one in the Central City Laboratory was invaded by [Tavi], it turned out that it was absolutely safe.
"But the only hidden danger is you." Akto said:
"At the beginning of the dungeon, you were a person who frequently entered and exited the City of Measurement and the Central City Laboratory. [Tavi] probably targeted your coordinates and locked the location of the Central City Laboratory within five days. Even if it was only once. If cause and effect breaks, we will cease to exist."
"What I need you to do is to lure your past self into the ruined building in the City of Measurement, which is the future state of the Central City Laboratory - let your past self be located in 102, and let your present self You are located in the year 72. Make the coordinates of the Central City Laboratory coincide with the 72nd year and the 102nd year at the same time. Use one-dimensional coordinates to confuse the vision of [other dimensions] and prevent the laboratory from being locked."
When Su Mingan heard this, his back was already wet with cold sweat.
This kind of operation "the past belongs to 102 years, and the present belongs to 72 years. The past belongs to the future, and the future belongs to the past." is too shocking and unheard of.
"I know." He said:
"The past has not yet become an established fact. I must erase the hidden dangers of the past."….
"Ding Dong!"
The system prompt sounds:
[You accepted the new main quest "Ouroboros"]
[Task tip: Jump through grid-like time, guide your past self into the ruined building, and deliver the identity of the performer of the civilized bet to your past self.
Mission reward: A Dawn Code. 】
…
"Did you find Tredia's pocket watch?" Akto said.
Su Mingan took out the bronze pocket watch.
Akto stared at the pocket watch, as if missing that bright woman. A stream of data snaked down from his fingertips and entered the pocket watch.
"Each of the nine seats has some administrator rights. Xiaobei's is a USB flash drive. Xi's is the chip on the back of her neck. As for Theredia, her authority symbol is this pocket watch." Tuo whispered: "Give this pocket watch to you in the past. I stored the source of civilization in it. As long as you give him the pocket watch, the source of civilization changes hands, and you can hand over the identity of the person who performs the contract to him." "
Su Mingan held the pocket watch tightly: "Why do I have to give him the pocket watch? What if I want to give him Xiaobei's USB flash drive?"
Akto was startled for a moment, then laughed: "Of course. You can give him Xiaobei's USB flash drive. You still don't seem to understand what the cause and effect of ouroboros means. You were able to pick up the pocket watch because of the previous one 'Karma, I gave you a pocket watch. If you gave your past self Xiaobei's USB flash drive, then the next one in your hand will no longer have a pocket watch, but Xiaobei's USB flash drive."
Su Mingan exhaled, her heart already filled with shock: "I understand, send me there."
Akto stretched out his hand: "After completing the mission, you go to the Central City Laboratory and I can send you a message back."
White light flickered between them, and long horizontal and vertical lines passed before Su Mingan's eyes. They were intertwined and surrounded, forming a parallel grid.
The entire space turned upside down in front of his eyes, as if a Klein bottle without a surface was rising at his feet. He was pushed forward by the white turbulence, gradually submerged in the endless gaps——
At this moment, he became "grandmother" herself.
…
[In order to avoid confusion between cause and effect, "Su Ming'an" with the same essence is not allowed to come into contact with the same timeline, and you are being temporarily assigned another identity...]
[The simulation is successful. It is detected that the "Lu Shu" emotion module is contained in the Dawn system, and you will be temporarily assigned the identity of "Lu Shu". 】
[You will be equipped with an AI Hico bionic body to assist you in your actions. 】
…
In the white light, Su Mingan opened his eyes.
In front of us is a vast desert.
"Hula——"
The sea of sand is vast and far away, with distinct hills and mountains, and quicksand like pouring water. The scorching warm wind slapped him
on the face. Oasis and yellow sand accompany each other, and birds dance with camel bells.
Countless folds of sand and gravel are like golden waves, spreading from afar, seemingly endless.
Vendors shouting loudly, travelers carrying large bags... People gathered in the medium-sized gathering place in front, rubbing shoulders and gathering in crowds.
"——Emotional Needle! A shot of 5 Cole, you don’t have to worry about emotional overload after just one shot! Travelers, the city of measurement is ahead of you! Always have an emotional shot ready!"
"——Hotel, accommodation! 3 Cole Baotian!"
Su Mingan stared blankly at the scene in front of him, as if misplaced time and space were connecting in front of his eyes, and every glance felt extremely wonderful. A heavy feeling of weightlessness evaporated in my chest, getting worse by the second.
Time, space, dimensions, universe.
Ouroboros, Möbius strip, Klein bottle, firewall theory, grandmother paradox...
"The world of ruins." He muttered the name of the world in a low voice, as if a torrent surged in his heart, and he was shattered by the shock.
He was about to take a step, but he staggered and almost lost his balance. At this time, a blond and blue-eyed android appeared next to him. She held his shoulders and put a black robe on him.
"During this period, please remember not to expose your face to prevent the vial from breaking." She held his hand, her beautiful eyes reflecting his stunned expression.
After helping him straighten his hair under the black robe, Xi Ke smiled gently at him:
"let's go."
"PhD.".
Feng Yao doesn’t get enough sleep
