Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Although Li Yan was in the mood to attend the banquet, she did not have the patience to finish a meal.

In the past, after each system upgrade, he would fall into this state of being overwhelmed by anticipation.

But never was it as urgent as today.

A whole new world has opened its doors to him, how can he not look forward to the beauty behind the door?

He wanted to immediately explore the rules contained in those strange energy flows to see if he could face the secrets of the universe.

While eating, he felt that the lights in the restaurant above his head were flowing in a strange way.

Finally, after filling my stomach, I felt that I had some feelings that needed to be recorded quickly, and I really couldn't join in the chat.

It's true that he doesn't even give face to the big boss.

But the boss was very happy.

"We must not disturb Li Yan if she wants to invest in something."

He said so.

Everyone nodded seriously.

Who knows what other miracles he can create?

Li Yan rushed home in a hurry. Facing Wei Yunzhi who was full of expectations, he explained the "little matter" in just a few words:

"Nuclear fusion power generation has been successful."

Then he grabbed Wei Yunzhi's shoulders with both hands, and in the shocked and expectant eyes of the little beauty, he lowered his voice and talked about the "big thing":
"I can see things that I couldn't see before. I can see things that humans can't notice. They may lead me to discover the origin of this world!"

Before Wei Yunzhi could express his excitement about the success of nuclear fusion power generation, he heard something extraordinary.

My brain was numbed all of a sudden.

My eyes widened and seemed out of focus.

"Are you serious?" The little beauty showed a rare puzzled expression.

“Seriously, that’s what you get for a reboot.”

Wei Yunzhi thought carefully about what Li Yan said and suddenly shuddered.

"It's a bit... a bit scary. What's going on?"

"It's not scary. How can it be scary?" Li Yan smiled and hugged her, then suddenly pointed at the ceiling of her house, "Look here, what do you see?"

"……ceiling?"

"In front of the ceiling."

"In front? ...Lights?"

"In front of the light."

"……Light?"

"And then there's nothing, right?"

"Uh..." Wei Yunzhi had already started to tremble.

Why does it sound so much like a ghost story?

"Normally there is nothing. At most, I can observe some floating dust and various effects of light." Li Yan said, "But now, as long as I focus enough, I can observe something special. I call it the flow of energy."

"Could it be... a soul or something?"

"No, no, no." Li Yan's face was full of excitement. "It's science! Don't go in the direction of metaphysics."

This level of science is too advanced for Wei Yunzhi.

She really couldn't empathize with what Li Yan said, but she was very happy to see Li Yan make some breakthroughs and gains.

So in the next few days, she didn't even go to the Life Science Center, and just stayed at home listening to Li Yan's self-analysis.

On the one hand, the highly excited Li Yan needs to reconstruct his own logic and knowledge system from this strong and exaggerated cognitive shock - fortunately, with the restart, his dependence on the existing human knowledge system has been greatly weakened.

On the other hand, he currently needs to overclock to capture things that people cannot see.

Overclocking always carries risks, especially when faced with such a new world, it is easy for Li Yan to become addicted to it.

Even if you have "good health" as the ultimate guarantee, it's impossible for your physical values ​​to increase and be refreshed and restored within seconds every time.

Good health will keep him from dying, but illness is inevitable.

If she accidentally exceeded the limit, Li Yan would have to stay in bed for ten days or half a month, which would make her very anxious.

Fortunately, Wei Yunzhi is now someone who can face the secret of "overclocking".

Although she understood that Li Yan was practicing internal energy...the problem was that he was possessed...her existence was equivalent to a meditation mantra.

But, never mind, the form doesn’t matter, as long as I can understand the possible situation that may arise for Li Yan.

"I still say that gravity has always existed before it was 'discovered'. Once everyone has this concept, it is actually very simple to 'see' gravity. The falling trajectory of the famous apple is gravity visible to the naked eye..."

"The world is different in the eyes of different creatures. In the eyes of extremely fast animals, the world must be much slower than what we see. They can see details that we cannot notice. Some animals can see more colors than us, and some have the ability to observe water flow and even air flow..."

"An important part of human scientific exploration is to use instruments to detect things that are invisible to the naked eye and cannot be felt by the human body. The discovery of any new phenomenon may directly impact the existing knowledge system..."

"Just because we haven't discovered them doesn't mean they don't exist..."

Li Yan said this not only to strengthen his self-awareness and stabilize his mentality, but also to give Wei Yunzhi a shot of prevention.

After all, when overclocking, his eyes stared blankly into space, and his expression changed rapidly...

It looks a bit scary no matter how you look at it.

However, every time the little beauty was frightened, Li Yan's face would be dispelled by the excitement after finishing the overclocking.

It’s just that what Li Yan says is becoming increasingly incomprehensible.

At the beginning, they were still some nouns that were easy to understand, but the combination was a little confusing; the nouns in the middle started to become confusing, and Wei Yunzhi could only follow Li Yan's meaning to give some emotional value; later, even the bytes could not be heard clearly, and watching Li Yan mumbling to himself, Wei Yunzhi didn't even know how to give the emotions.

It is simply the whisper of the Outer Gods.

Ever since Li Yan and Wei Yunzhi had their showdown about the "divine power", the beautiful girl couldn't help but think of the Cthulhu mythology that she had once dabbled in.

During the year that Li Yan restarted, she read a lot of related content.

I have to say, when Li Yan was overclocking, her expression switched like a shutter, which was too inhuman.

Considering the current state of speaking incomprehensible bytes, if someone who doesn't know the truth sees it, it would probably be like "looking directly at an ancient god", right?
Overclocking is not a one-day thing, and the information Li Yan gets from overclocking also requires a lot of time to digest.

Later, in addition to overclocking sessions at home, Li Yan also often appeared in various experimental centers.

Time just slipped away until the beginning of spring 2022.

After a very short overclocking, Li Yan, who had recovered, suddenly fell silent.

He seemed to be in a very low mood, which formed too strong a contrast with the continuous ecstasy before, and made Wei Yunzhi very nervous.

"Yan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"……no."

The girl came closer with concern, but facing a very familiar body, she didn't know where to put her hands.

"Can you tell me about it?"

Li Yan sighed softly and turned to look at Wei Yunzhi.

It didn't matter that she looked at it, but the beautiful girl was stunned by it.

A natural beauty! Li Yan, who was already very handsome, is even better now.

This is no longer something that can be highlighted by things like the three-part and five-eye proportions. No matter how much fine-tuning a perfect face does, it is still perfect and cannot give people the experience of a grade upgrade.

But Li Yan's current condition is also perfect. Not to mention her skin, hair, and complexion. Just this pair of captivating eyes is enough to captivate the little beauty.

So spiritual, like a sharp sword; so profound, like the deep sky; so bright, like the stars.

Although his face was expressionless, one could read a sense of compassion from Wei Yunzhi.

"A lot of formulas..."

Li Yan would pause when speaking.

“You discovered a lot of formulas?”

"Yunzhi, we were wrong."

"……Um?"

"Our technology is not making any progress, and our understanding of the world is not going any further..." Li Yan said, her voice was surprisingly melodious, even though they were just in the same room, "because our formula is wrong."

"Yeah." The girl didn't know how to respond except to answer this way.

"Just like before the heliocentric theory was proven, the geocentric theory was also logically self-consistent." Li Yan's eyes could not see the focus, "The current formulas, without exception, are all logically self-consistent results like the geocentric theory. It is enough for use, but when we face some phenomena close to the origin of the world, it seems to be stretched."

Wei Yunzhi dared not to speak out.

"The reason why fluid mechanics can't be solved is because something is missing," said Li Yan.

Wei Yunzhi's eyes widened involuntarily.

"This shock is like the first time macroscopic mechanics was impacted by quantum mechanics. Before the microscopic world was revealed to humans, we all thought that macroscopic mechanics was universal."

"What's missing is what you see?"

"In this world, in this universe, there are things that humans cannot see or touch, but they are affecting the state of everything."

"And you saw it and worked out a new formula from it?"

Although he had expected this question, Wei Yunzhi still felt his heartbeat tremble when he said it.

"Yes."

Similarly, although the little beautiful girl had expected this answer, she was still shocked to the point that her heartbeat became unstable when she heard what Li Yan said.

"...Yan, this... this is really..."

"I used to think I was the protagonist of the world, but now I have a sense of destiny... of leading humanity to a breakthrough."

Wei Yunzhi was still very sensitive, and immediately calmed down from the overwhelming expectation and ecstasy: "Is this why you look a little sad? Or..."

"Humanity has wasted a lot of time," Li Yan sighed. "If it weren't for this miraculous power, I wouldn't be able to see these things. Humanity is likely to have been groping in the wrong direction, and just hit its own limit."

Wei Yunzhi wanted to say something but stopped.

"Yunzhi, there are several theories about why no other intelligent life has been found in the universe so far. One of them is the Great Filter."

"I know that the upper limit of intelligent creatures is fixed. They will be stuck before reaching the level of interstellar travel, and will eventually be unable to leave their own galaxy until their demise. Compared to the vast universe, this range of activity can almost be regarded as never moving."

“Aren’t these things that humans can’t see or touch filters?”

Wei Yunzhi was stunned, and even felt a chill down his spine for a moment.

"Let's put it in a simple way. If we don't understand how these energy flows affect the world, then even if we master controlled nuclear fusion, we will always be in the stage of accelerating by spitting fire and reverse thrust. How fast can we go? Countless science fiction works have given their own answers, such as jump, wormhole transmission, and curvature engine... But they are obviously complete fantasies without any technical support."

Li Yan sighed again when he said this. "Although the horse-drawn carriage era could not imagine how fast cars could be, the invention of cars was inevitable. Because those are reactions that humans can see, it's just a matter of when the flash of inspiration comes. And everything I've seen in the past few days doesn't even leave room for imagination."

"I can't speak." Wei Yunzhi really had no choice but to express his feelings.

"That's why I suddenly felt like a chess piece."

"No, it's not. You are still the protagonist of the world." Wei Yunzhi blurted out, "Why else would it be you?"

"This may be a question that I will never be able to answer even when I become omniscient and omnipotent." Li Yan said with a smile, "People cannot explain their own fate. Otherwise, where does fate come from?"

"Yan, then... can you tell me what can be done after adding the... patterns of these things you have seen?"

Seeing the girl's expectant face, Li Yan also returned from his detached state, as if he was taking back his soul that had flown above the earth and overlooked all living beings, and it fell back layer by layer onto the body of an earthling "Li Yan".

Go and enjoy the admiration of your lover in a vulgar way.

"I find it difficult to explain these things in the language I am used to..."

Accustomed...language?

Wei Yunzhi clapped his hands, "Ah, did you create a new language?"

"We have already done it. It is created based on universal human grammar and is more suitable for explaining the new knowledge system." Li Yan spread his hands, "Otherwise, many words will be misunderstood and collide with the existing knowledge system. 'Not precise enough' is fatal."

"what……"

"In my system, every professional term must have its own unique representative meaning. It cannot be ambiguous or used to refer to another thing at the same time - that is just a metabolic product in the iterative process of language development."

Wei Yunzhi looked at Li Yan and suddenly asked, "...Have you figured out fluid mechanics?"

“There is a formula.”

"...turbulence?"

“It can be calculated.”

"... Could it be the movement of particles?"

“There is a formula.”

Wei Yunzhi was so shocked that her heartbeat was completely disordered.

“Aren’t the positions of electrons random?”

"At the moment, it seems that it is just random to humans."

“No, no, no…” Even the beautiful girl was a little breathless due to the shock. “Wait, doesn’t that mean that Laplace’s demon is real? If you have enough computing power, you can predict the next moment of the universe based on a certain moment, and thus directly predict the future? Doesn’t that mean that everything in the universe has been determined from the beginning? Including every word I say now?! Is fatalism true?!”

"No."

Wei Yunzhi let out a long sigh, "Then the second law of thermodynamics is still correct."

“Not entirely.”

"..." The girl pressed her forehead with one hand and covered her heart with the other.

Li Yan didn't say anything and gently hugged Wei Yunzhi.

The girl was trembling all over, and even felt that being hugged by the man in front of her was a little too unreal.

"It's really hard for me to imagine what you've been through, Yan."

Wei Yunzhi's tears just fell. During the long time she had been with Li Yan, tears had always been a rare thing for her.

But after suffering a huge shock that changed her worldview, only tears could express her emotions.

Li Yan just gently stroked her, "If I hear the truth in the morning, I am willing to die in the evening. Throughout the ages, too many people have infinitely beautified the temptation of 'knowing the truth of the world'. In fact, if you really 'hear the truth', you will have to pay a lot of price."

The two hugged each other for a while, and Wei Yunzhi suddenly asked:
"Then... the grand unification of physics..."

"No problem. It's the same logic from the beginning."

The world is about to change completely. (End of this chapter)
