I walk in the past, continue the future

Chapter 128 Illusion and Reality

"The name of that place is "Afterlife"." Jiang You whispered thoughtfully, "It means the world after death. Did those historical figures come here after they died?"

"There is a possibility." Li Zhengchu teased, "Maybe you will see Zhuge Liang again in the future."

"That's too outrageous." Qiao Qiao couldn't help but said.

Li Zhengchu smiled, but said nothing.

"Old Li, is this place we are in a dream or a reality?" Jiang You asked.

Li Zhengchu raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at him.

"Why do you think so?"

"Because it's too much like a game, this place." Jiang You said, "You can get rewards for completing tasks, as well as the infinite resurrection you mentioned.

It is also a bit suspicious that we came to this place for a moment without realizing it. "

"What's your definition of illusion and reality?" Li Zhengchu asked.

Jiang You was a little puzzled.

"What is the definition of illusion and reality? Isn't illusion just illusion?"

"Then let me make a hypothesis."

Li Zhengchu continued, "Assuming that the real world you live in actually has no real material existence, but is just a data world created by a more advanced civilization.

However, in that world, there are all your relatives, friends, and everything you know. They all have their own consciousness, and they will make different choices according to their personalities.

And in another world with material existence, you have no relatives, no friends, you are the only one in the whole world, and there is no memory belonging to you at all.

Which world would you choose to live in, or, for you, which world is false? "

Jiang You and the other two were lost in thought.

"The operation of the universe is nothing but the movement of countless particles, and the flow of data in the computer is also the flow of countless 0s and 1s.

As far as I am concerned, there is no difference between these two methods, it is just a difference in life form and a difference in dimension.

If it were me, I would undoubtedly choose the former. "

Li Zhengchu continued.

"I'm not going to give you the answer because I don't know what the answer is.

See with your eyes, feel with your heart.

When you consider this to be a real world, no matter what form it exists in.

It, for you, is real. "

Jiang You nodded, he looked at Li Zhengchu, "I've been taught."

"Spiritualism." Qianjun whispered, he looked at Li Zhengchu, "You look very young, why do you have such deep thoughts?"

"It's just that I look young. I'm over 40 years old this year." Li Zhengchu laughed.

In fact, according to the normal timeline, he and these three people are the same age, but at this moment, the memories of the three people have all gone back to the past.

"Oh, yes, what we are using now is not the body of the past." Qian Jun responded.

Qiao Qiao suggested: "When we go back, let's leave a phone call with each other and get together in reality."

"I have no objection." Qianjun said.

Jiang You didn't answer, but continued to ask Li Zhengchu.

"Can I have a chat with Mr. Einstein?"

"Of course." Li Zhengchu raised his eyebrows, "We still have a high degree of freedom in this place, but Einstein was there no matter what.

But the person who taught you how to mine with the fifth element may not necessarily have the time to teach you again and again.

Although it is a mining technology, you will gradually learn how to use the fifth element during the mining process. "

Jiang You hesitated for a moment, but followed Li Zhengchu in.

The size of the entire burrow was far beyond their imagination. They passed through several residential areas, but they were still descending.

Jiang You couldn't help but sighed, "This place is almost digging through the center of the earth."

"The deepest is about 400 meters underground." Li Zhengchu said.

They gasped.

"How on earth did such a backward civilization build such a burrow." Qiao Qiao complained, "They can't beat even gophers.

That is, our shield machines do not have this kind of digging capability. "

"You will know soon." Li Zhengchu murmured softly.

Soon, under Anya's guidance, they entered the coal mine that Xia Lian and the others entered before.

This place has been expanded many times compared to before. Countless people are digging coal mines here with tools, and then they are taken to the upper level for sorting through electric crawlers.

Anya led them to Kai Ke, the general manager of the mining area, and explained Sparrowhawk's order and the identities of these people.

Kai Ke almost readily accepted this task.

He looked them up and down.

"Remember how to use magic power?"

Jiang You and Qiao Qiao looked at each other, and finally chose to shake their heads truthfully.

"The mobilization of magic power is actually very simple, as long as you have enough imagination, you can use magic power to manifest everything you want.

The difference is how much magic power is consumed. The lower your knowledge, the less understanding you have about things, the more magic power you consume in the things you materialize.

I'm not a professional magician, but I can teach you how the Tundra people built such a huge underground city. "

After a pause, Kai Ke recalled what he had learned in those scientists' courses.

"Do you know "vibration"?"

"know."

"Actually, all substances in this world vibrate." Kai Ke explained.

"According to Mr. Einstein, everything is made up of countless elementary particles invisible to the human eye.

All elementary particles are vibrating strings.

One of the necessary conditions for the existence of matter is the irregular movement of atoms.

They all have a natural frequency.

Have you ever seen a bottle shattered by sound? "

"I see, what you're talking about is the resonance phenomenon?" Jiang You responded.

"I seem to have heard Mr. Einstein say it." Kai Ke muttered, "But it doesn't matter, as long as you know the principle, after all, I'm not good at teaching people."

This mining method was gradually explored after many failures, but no one can explain this phenomenon.

The emergence of Einstein and others explained the principle of this phenomenon for them, and the transformation of this magic also saved the magic power they consumed when using this magic.

After a pause, he continued, "And we use this phenomenon to mine minerals. There is a certain inherent vibration frequency in matter, and as long as we can create a vibration that is the same as this inherent frequency.

We can apply more powerful force to this substance and make it vibrate. "

Jiang You nodded and said: "I understand that energy will accumulate, just like pushing a swing, as long as you apply a small force to the swing, the swing can swing higher.

One push may not increase the force very high, but as long as you keep this force and push a few more times, the swing will get higher and higher.

That's how the sound shatters the bottle. "

"Yes, yes, yes!" Kai Ke said excitedly, "That's it! Let me demonstrate to you."

As he said that, Kai Ke turned around and slammed his fist on the wall. They could clearly feel a kind of energy being transmitted from his fist to the wall.

The mine near Kaike trembled slightly, and then large chunks of coal collapsed, setting off a large cloud of smoke and dust.

"This method actually saves magic power, and the energy consumed to create this kind of vibration is not high, but the difficulty is that it needs to maintain a frequency of vibration multiple times in a short period of time.

Many people have a hard time grasping this vibration though, and usually waste unnecessary magic. "

Kai Ke turned his head and smiled.

"You may have to practice more to find the feeling."

Then, I saw three people who were lost in thought.

"You can find the value after this kind of calculation?" Jiang You said.

Kai Ke was taken aback, "Calculation? Can this still be calculated?"

"There is a formula, it's not difficult." Qiao Qiao said, paused, and asked, "Is there any paper and pen here?"

"No pen and paper." Jiang You said.

He quietly stared at the coal in front of him, and began to calculate rapidly in his mind.

From the very beginning, he discovered that the memory of the body he acquired was very strong, and his brain was very easy to use.

Not only has a strong imagination, but also a strong logical thinking ability, he can even calculate a calculus problem in his mind in a short time.

he muttered under his breath.

"I remember that the resonant frequency of coal is the formula for calculating the resonant frequency."

Countless data circulated in his mind, and after a while, he came up with the answer.

"You said, as long as you imagine to create some kind of vibration, the vibration will come out, right?" Jiang You asked.

Kai Ke nodded.

Jiang You nodded, and he walked forward silently, pressing his palm against the wall, recalling the scene of Kai Ke using magic power.

It's not a sound wave, it's not some kind of shock, it's a direct use of some kind of energy to create a resonance that acts on the atomic level.

He felt that the magic power in his body was pouring into the wall in front of him.

He couldn't understand the principle of this, but he was able to adjust the frequency of this vibration.

He recalled the results calculated before, and compared the data and performance of the vibration experiment he had done in the experiment class of junior high school horizontally, and began to try to find the feeling.

After the shock, he began to become more at ease.

But as the minutes passed, the mine walls seemed unmoved.

Seeing this, Kai Ke smiled and said: "Don't be discouraged. Although it is relatively simple, if you lack imagination, it is still difficult to use magic power smoothly. It takes three days for our people to learn it at the fastest."

"Boom~"

A few seconds after his words fell, the entire mine layer had a faint vibration, and the vibration was even gradually increasing.

Kai Ke's complexion changed, he stepped forward and grabbed Jiang You's clothes and lifted him out.

As he left, many cracks appeared on the wall in front of him, and then the cracks gradually expanded, and finally collapsed rapidly. If Jiang You hadn't left, it would probably have been buried at this moment.

"I forgot to mention that although this kind of vibration is applied to one point, the whole earth is one, and the vibration will radiate to the surroundings, and even affect the earth.

Some powerful magicians can even use this to cause minor earthquakes.

But for mines, this is very dangerous, and you need to know how to withdraw your strength in time.

And it is best to release the vibration of this frequency as many times as possible in a short period of time before the energy of the vibration spreads to the surroundings. "Kai engraved said.

Jiang You looked at the collapsed coal mine in front of him and nodded.

"You guys have dug holes in this way, you must have messed up quite a few times, right?" Qianjun asked.

"No way." Kai Ke murmured in a low voice, "If you don't increase the efficiency of digging, then there is only death."

They fell silent.

"Fortunately, we have summed up a lot of experience and have corresponding rescue measures. Fortunately, because of the existence of permafrost, the ground is frozen solid and will not collapse so easily."

Then, he looked at Jiang You and said with emotion.

"As expected of a heroic spirit, a warrior of the gods, he was able to learn it in such a short period of time."

After a pause, Kai Ke asked curiously.

"You are from the "afterlife", right?"

Jiang You nodded.

"I heard from Mr. Sparrowhawk that it is the most beautiful place in the world, but he has never been there." Kai Ke said, "Can you tell me what kind of place it is?"

Jiang You thought for a while, as if he was organizing his words. After a while, he said, "For this place, it can indeed be said to be heaven."

"Heaven?" Kai Ke was a little puzzled, there was no such word here.

"It means the most beautiful place in the world." Li Zhengchu explained.

"The temperature there is very comfortable, not as cold as here, and the sky is always blue, and you can see a beautiful sea of ​​stars at night.

There, you don't have to work, you will have a beautiful house, food will be delivered to you by a dedicated waiter of God, and you can enjoy fine wine and delicacies to your heart's content. "

"There are many tall buildings there, hundreds of meters high, even hanging upside down in the sky." Qiao Qiao said.

"A building hanging upside down in the sky!?" Kai Ke's face showed a little horror, "Wouldn't people fall if they stood on it?"

"Theoretically, it shouldn't be possible. A technology like that should have artificial gravity." Jiang You said.

"That's great." Kai Ke's face showed yearning, "I wish I could go to the afterlife to see it with my own eyes."

Jiang You was speechless for a while. He had a complete understanding of the living conditions of the aborigines in the tundra along the way.

I can also understand why Kai Ke is so yearning for the afterlife.

He just felt a little bit, for them, something that is within their reach, but for some people, it is a place that is out of reach.

In reality, there are many such examples.

After a pause, he said.

"I believe you can do it."

"Yeah." Kai Ke nodded, and he clenched his fists, "Mr. Sparrowhawk said that at the end of that ideal, the Hall of Valor will always be open to the bravest fighters!"

"I want to try this kind of resonance too," Qiao Qiao interjected.

Kai Ke came back to his senses, "In order to avoid danger, I suggest that you first try to use resonance to break the large coal into small pieces, so that the combustion will be more complete."

"Okay!" Qiao Qiao responded, and ran forward to try to use resonance to break the coal mine.

And Qian Jun stepped forward and stood beside Jiang You.

"how do you feel?"

"It's amazing, this is definitely a power beyond human cognition." Jiang You whispered, "If that god is really a god in the legend of the earth.

I now somewhat believe that some of those myths are real. "

"Is there an increase in contribution points?" Qianjun asked.

Jiang You came to his senses and looked at Li Zhengchu, "How do you think about contribution points?"

"Meditate and click on the contribution point template."

Following Li Zhengchu's instructions, Jiang You read silently and clicked on the technical template, and then he saw the contribution points marked with [-] points on it.

"One hundred points." Jiang You said.

"When you save more, you can go to Einstein to exchange for some things." Li Zhengchu laughed.

"What skills can these contribution points be exchanged for?" Qianjun asked.

"It's not just skills, it can even be exchanged for some products of alien civilizations. There are some moves such as liquid hydrogen and oxygen deflagration, and electromagnetic guns." Li Zhengchu laughed.

Although the corresponding magic can be manifested through fantasy, if you want to save the consumption of the fifth element, you need to borrow the rules of this world to use it.

But it is not enough just to know the principle, it is also necessary to transform the use of the fifth element.

Just like the simplest hydrogen flame.

There is a big difference in consumption between directly manifesting a burning hydrogen flame and first manifesting hydrogen gas before igniting it.

This kind of magic used through the chain reaction of various physical phenomena and chemical phenomena, Xia Lian called it a reaction technique.

Before Xia Lian directly manifested the Kulun force elimination field, it was not a reaction technique that they are learning now, so it would consume a lot of energy, but there is a theoretical basis, and it is relatively economical than using other magic of the same level.

However, most of the exchanged items at Einstein are mature structure of reaction numbers.

Therefore, this knowledge is still useful to talented students like them.

After possessing supernatural powers, they were greatly motivated. They became very excited and enthusiastic about mining.

Of course, part of the reason for this is that AS regulates the fatigue value of that body, and it can even control the release of a large amount of dopamine and endorphins for pain relief.

Not only is work not tiring, but even injury and death will not cause any pain.

Labor is a pleasant and fulfilling thing, a means of creating value and self-satisfaction.

But with the opening of the industrial revolution, human society has become more and more developed.

With the growth of population and the rapid growth of the number of various types of work, under the blessing of a vicious competitive environment called "involution", the value that human beings can create becomes more and more limited, and the value of individuals becomes cheaper.

Moreover, when the value created by cheap labor is captured by the "boss", the remaining sense of self-satisfaction also disappears.

Since then, labor has become a means of survival. People do the same work day after day, and lose the joy of labor.

But here, they can gain the dignity that workers have, because the work they do is not for anyone, but for themselves.

From the general background, this is for the continuation of human beings, and because of this, they have gained the respect of everyone around them.

Moreover, when all the negative effects of labor, such as fatigue, are gone, only the joy of harvest is left for labor.

So, they get into it gradually, and they never get tired of it.

However, the happy working time always passed quickly. Under Li Zhengchu's reminder, they returned to the research institute of the afterlife through the portal.

After leaving their contact information, they lay down in the nutrition warehouse and fell into a deep sleep.

While waiting for the hypnotic gas gushing out from the nutrition cabin, the body slowly fell asleep.

Jiang You's body in the virtual world suddenly opened his eyes.

He got up from the bed in the dormitory, and looked at each other with Qiao Qiao, who was awakened across the room.

With just this one glance, they saw what they wanted to know in each other's eyes.

Those were not dreams before.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, neither long nor short, only three days, and most of the people whose school is close to home have gone back.

Those far away from home like Jiang You and Qiao Qiao stayed at the school, waiting for the long vacation.

This is also the reason why Jiang You and Qiao Qiao have the best relationship.

Jiang You didn't talk to Qiao Qiao, but raised his hand, recalling how to use the fifth element he learned from Kai Ke.

Imagine
A ball of flames was burning fiercely in his hands, and he could clearly feel the temperature of the flames, even more easily than in that world.

Like magic, no, it's magic.

Jiang You looked at Qiao Qiao, and an ice spike appeared on his hand.

They looked at each other, the dormitory building on the weekend was silent, but their hearts were not peaceful
