Chapter 781 Coordinate Axis

After understanding the principle of this "time channel", Li Luo could only stay where he was temporarily.

If you continue walking, you will only go deeper and deeper along the downward slope, and by then, you may reach an area that is even more difficult to understand.

"What should I do?"

Li Luo took out the electronic screen and began to look into the situation.

Fortunately, there seemed to be no light-attracting creatures here, and the bright light from Li Luo's electronic screen did not bring any danger.

She first clicked on the previous "difference time zone" information and looked for similar records, but did not find any.

Records of various areas in the Eternal Night are already very scarce, not to mention this rather special situation.

Then she began to look for this kind of confusion of time and space, and as luck would have it, she actually found a record.

“Theory of Spacetime Curves.”

This is a semi-popular science article with not many readers, but it happens to describe the confusion between time and space that they encountered.

Li Luo clicked on it curiously and began to read slowly...

……

"Space-time curve theory——"

"Everyone's space-time curve is fixed..."

"We all live in an extremely stable space-time coordinate system. This coordinate system is unchanging. If there is no interference from a strong force, this coordinate system will always remain in a constant state."

“The coordinate system exists in everyone and is unique.”

"What is the space-time coordinate system?"

"Assume that space is the y-axis and time is the x-axis. When we move, we are actually moving up and down along the y-axis. When we feel the passage of time, we are moving right along the x-axis."

"Because the flow rate of time is fixed, the speed at which we move to the right on the x-axis is also fixed, but the y-axis is different. We can move around randomly on the y-axis. For example, if we move around in our own home, we will keep moving up and down in the same position. If we travel to a distant place, we will move to a very far place."

"Because the coordinates of the x-axis are constantly increasing, the coordinates of the y-axis are cycling up and down, and the space-time curve we finally present is an irregular curve that keeps cycling back and forth, flipping up and down, and extending to the right."

"This is also the space-time curve that each of us has. When two people meet in space, because their time coordinates are the same, their curves will intersect and they will see each other."

"Their coordinates are exactly the same at this moment, and this is also the intersection of their time and space."

"Some people's time and space have many intersections, and even two people's time and space curves are completely entangled with each other. Some people's time and space curves will never intersect, and they will gradually move away on the coordinate axis."

"These intersections cannot be changed. Once you meet, you've met. The space-time curve cannot be changed either. It is fixed because we cannot change the fact that two people meet."

"The space-time curve passes through here, which means that at that point in time, that person must have been here, interacting with everything around him." "But what if the speed of time changes?"

"This is the 'non-constant state' of the space-time coordinate axis. After the invasion of the abyss, there are many powerful forces that can change the flow of time, which will also cause the constant space-time coordinate axis to change."

"If a person's time flow rate becomes twice as fast, the speed at which his coordinate point moves to the right on the x-axis will become twice as fast."

"However, the space-time curve is fixed, and the fact that it appears at that coordinate point cannot be 'negated'. At this time, the coordinate axis will spontaneously begin to correct itself."

"The y-axis will produce rotation."

"It can also be seen as a rotation of the x-axis. In short, the angle between the x-axis and the y-axis will change and will no longer be 90 degrees. At this time, part of the spatial movement will be decomposed into the temporal movement to reduce the acceleration of time. At this time, it will be obvious that there is a problem with the spatial movement."

"As the deviation of the flow of time becomes larger and larger, the angle between the space-time coordinate axes will also deviate from 90 degrees. More and more space movement will be used to correct the deviation of the x-axis to ensure that the space-time curve remains unchanged, until..."

"Until the x-axis and y-axis coincide, all spatial movement is used as a correction for temporal movement."

"At this time, the movement in time and space will overlap, and the movement on the x-axis will be exactly the same as the movement on the y-axis. People in this state will feel like they are walking on the timeline, surrounded by ghosts of different times."

"The space-time curve at this time will become a straight line, moving left or right on a single axis. Unless we can find a way to restore the angle of the coordinate axis, it can return to a normal space-time curve. Otherwise, it will just go straight forever..."

"Some readers may ask, why must the space-time curve remain unchanged, and why should even the coordinate axis change because of it?"

"This has to be explained from the 'intersection points'."

"Not only do people intersect with each other, but people also intersect with objects. A person will affect anything at any intersection on the space-time curve. This influence will change the trajectory of other space-time curves, and then these space-time curves will affect more space-time curves, just like nuclear fission."

"Countless space-time curves are woven into a large network. Every line on the network affects the entire body. If there is a disorder, instead of correcting it one by one, it is better to directly change a single coordinate axis to deflect the space-time coordinate axis of a single object."

“This is the simplest and most direct method.”

"Of course, if it becomes a completely straight line..."

"That won't have any impact on the other curves, because at this point, you're on the x-axis and you can't touch any other curves."

"At this time, it is very difficult to jump out because the y-axis and the x-axis coincide with each other. No matter how you move, there will be no change in space. This phenomenon is called 'space-time deadlock'."

"If you lose one coordinate axis, you lose a dimension of movement. The two-dimensional coordinate axis becomes a one-dimensional straight line. If you want to move in space, there is no other way except to recreate a 'new y-axis'."

"And this new y-axis must rely on a more powerful force..."

Li Luo read the article carefully. Next, there were some calculations about the "angle between time and space" and the "compensation for spatial movement". These calculations were very simple and were just some trigonometric function calculations learned in elementary school.

Li Luo quickly scanned the densely packed formulas. She knew that these calculations were only based on the theory of space-time curves and had no practical use.

Finally, the author's pen name fell at the bottom. It was an author that Li Luo was very familiar with:
"Zeus."
