The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 980 Academic Conference (Part 5)

How to create a star in a bizarre world—based on the construction and regulation of a high-dimensional energy model.

The moment the topic was announced, all was silent.

What followed was a gradually spreading commotion, along with hushed whispers.

The main focus is on the surreal concepts of "strange world," "star creation," and "higher dimensions."

You can vaguely hear low-pitched curses like "Nonsense," "Crazy," and "Sure enough, he's one of the Shen faction."

Liu Sheng remained calm on the stage.

He met the gaze of Shen Zhiyu, who suddenly appeared on the first row of prayer mats.

They both stared intently at each other.

Then Liu Sheng slowly began to speak, her voice clearly penetrating the lecture hall:
“I know that many people have only one question on their minds right now—'What is the supernatural world?'”

"I even think that I'm crazy for saying these things."

"But you're already in this space, are you still going to question the existence of the 'strange'? I wonder who's more like a madman."

As soon as the words were spoken, a brief pause spread through the crowd.

Looking around at the scene that seemed like another world or another era, and at the faint figures around me, a chill ran down my spine.

Why……

They might feel like they're being taken for granted and ignored.
They even seem to think that only speaking out about such abnormalities is abnormal? As if indifference and ignoring it are the most normal reactions?
This shouldn't happen!

However, it was clear that ever since the girl on stage lifted that thin veil, the atmosphere around them had changed. It was as if some unknown entity was stirring, or as if some reality was about to break through this barrier.

And it's a reality that no one wants to face.

However, Liu Sheng continued speaking.

She briefly explained the concepts of "weird" and "eerie".

"Of course, you might be thinking, is this some new concept? Is it something I just made up for the sake of innovation? But I can say very clearly, no."

"It has always existed."

"In fact, the strange particles may be lurking in the most unfamiliar and largest type of matter—dark matter."

"After all, we have very little research on dark matter, so it is quite normal that there is a particle that we cannot see or touch but can affect reality hidden in it."

Of course, some people immediately raised questions:
"But do you have a way to prove it?"

"That's right! Although our research on dark matter is so limited right now, we can't just make things up."

“I understand the concerns of our seniors,” Liu Sheng said. “So, of course, it is possible to deduce it.”

So she turned to Xue Nian and said, "Professor Xue, please demonstrate for us the effect of the additional tensor perturbation caused by introducing the high-dimensional particle model on the curvature of spacetime, showing gravitational anomalies..."

While she was speaking, Xue Nian had already quickly written down the derivation process.

As the derivation model unfolded, everyone couldn't help but gasp in amazement, realizing for the first time that there might indeed be a different perturbation term.

"But that's just your conclusion..."

Liu Sheng immediately opened the next slide of the PPT: "This is the experimental data of gravitational perturbation near the Golden Crow Ruins that I measured. Substituting it into the formula shows that there is indeed a gravitational tensor shift in this region that cannot be explained by existing models..."

This statement took everyone by surprise.

When was this experiment conducted?
This is truly unprecedented data.

Those currently at the Golden Crow Ruins felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this.

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "Of course, now that the First Empire International Conference Center has become the core, research institutes have expanded to all parts of the world, so the gravitational anomaly is no longer limited to the Golden Crow Ruins, so please don't worry."

Viewers from other research institutes during the live stream: Is this something we don't need to worry about?!

It's clear that you care more now!
"Therefore, if we can create a ghost energy detector using my method, we should be able to detect that the concentration of ghost energy in this world is slowly increasing."

"It is only under the premise of elevation that the scene we see now appears, realizing a surrealism that you never thought of before."

"But why is it rising?" Everyone couldn't help but ask.

Liu Sheng slowly turned her head, her gaze falling on Shen Zhiyu, who was almost hidden in the shadows in the first row.

"Because of a certain opened ruin."

"Specifically, the so-called eeriness originates from the abyss. And the abyss is a higher-dimensional existence. The eeriness particles and even the eeriness itself are projections from higher dimensions."

“Under normal circumstances, it does not actively interfere with reality, and we cannot perceive it, just as dark matter never interacts with light.”

"However, it's not that it's completely imperceptible."

"For example, have you ever experienced something that feels strangely familiar even though it's the first time you've experienced it? Feeling someone watching you in a dark, empty room? Feeling a pressure on your chest that makes it hard to breathe when you're in a dream? And there are many other inexplicable urban legends that are triggered by unintentional eerie energy."

"It's just that before it reaches a certain level of threat, the brain's natural shielding mechanism will automatically find a 'rational explanation' for these abnormalities to prevent cognitive collapse. For example, right now you feel that everything here seems to be reasonable, and what I'm saying is unreasonable."

"But once the concentration of eerie energy exceeds a certain critical point, coupled with some opportunity that can affect higher dimensions, or interference from higher dimensions, the eerie energy will be fully revealed, thus affecting reality."

"And once the arrow is released, there's no turning back; it will only drag the whole world step by step into the abyss."

"And the space beneath our feet—is precisely the result of the strong gravitational field caused by the opening of the 'Golden Crow Ruins' and the exposure of that 'Golden Crow Fire Seed,' which attracts a large amount of strange energy from the higher-dimensional gaps into reality."

"The Golden Crow's Flame?" many people murmured.

“That’s right. You heard about it at the last seminar—Professor Shen discovered a new type of energy that has never been seen before. However, at that time, it was still unstable, so experts and scholars from various disciplines were invited to discuss it together.”

“That… is the ‘Golden Crow Fire Seed’.”

Everyone silently looked at Shen Zhiyu.

Her expression remained unchanged, seemingly acquiescing to this statement.

Liu Sheng continued, "Later, she seemed to have solved the stability problem, so she convened another meeting under the guise of 'new energy.' You all thought it was a major discovery and flocked to the meeting—"

These words seemed to go beyond the academic presentation itself, and the crowd became somewhat uneasy, their eyes darting back and forth between Shen Zhiyu and the girl on stage, trying to discern something.

At this moment, Shen Zhiyu's face had become extremely gloomy.

However, Liu Sheng showed no respect whatsoever, staring directly at Shen Zhiyu and sneering:

"It is clear that Professor Shen has not yet fully controlled this 'new energy source,' which is why all of us here need to work together to analyze it and complete the final piece of her puzzle."

"The inscription on this scroll is the key."

"Let's think about this from a different perspective: If you were Professor Shen, why would you go to such lengths to gather top people from various fields? And why would you threaten to destroy the world to force everyone to participate in this so-called 'academic conference' childish game?"

"It's better to say..."

"Destroying the world is the cause, while playing this game is just the effect."

These words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

He pondered the meaning behind those words. "In other words, the world was destined to end, regardless of whether we accomplish this..."

"Heh, you should think about it. Maybe if you solve these problems, you can stop the destruction of the world!" Shen Zhiyu said coldly.

This statement is also a tacit admission of what the girl said.

This caused an uproar.

"You want us to take the blame for your own problems?"

"They even resort to such threats!"

"Shen Zhiyu! This is going against the tide of history!"

As the condemnations continued, Shen Zhiyu's face turned pale, clearly indicating that she was brewing anger.

The illusory figures around them were also restless, trembling and flickering.

"Enough! You're not qualified to negotiate with me!"

She roared, and the entire space began to shake violently.

This antique space began to collapse and deform, the eaves and beams became twisted, and many strange shapes even emerged and interspersed, along with other architectural styles, creating a kind of incongruous and absurd feeling.

At this moment, the entire space seemed about to tear apart, and all the structures were disintegrating and collapsing, but Liu Sheng showed no fear.

“I know you don’t want me to continue, but once a speech begins, you can’t stop it, you can’t interrupt it, and you can’t stop it. That’s just how the rules are.”

"Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. Just like the flame within you."

Shen Zhiyu was so angry that her face almost collapsed.

She could feel the air around her solidify, and countless eyes were staring at her, filled with a complex mix of emotions including doubt, accusation, and fear.

But she could only sit there and listen as Liu Sheng continued to speak, revealing the truth she didn't want to admit, layer by layer.

That's the rule.

Liu Sheng continued, "Alright, we went a little off-topic just now, but I believe everyone understands the concept of 'strange' now. So you also understand that once there are more and more strange particles, this world can be called a 'strange world'."

"Can you imagine what our world would be like if strange spaces like this were no longer confined to this venue, but appeared in every corner of the world?"

The moment those words were spoken, the entire room was slightly shaken.

An indescribable chill crept up everyone's spine.

Everyone inevitably thinks of their hometown, family, friends, and everything they care about—if all of this is about to be swallowed up, then, does the meaning of life still exist?

Liu Sheng looked around and nodded:
“That’s right. It will be a future in which no one can escape, and at that time, the only thing we need to consider is not order, not fame and fortune, but survival.”

"So, what is most important for survival?"

She paused, then looked around the room.

"It is a resource."

"And what we do know is that almost all resources on Earth can be said to originate from the sun, that is, a star."

"If the strange particles are rampant enough, their gravity may eventually drag the entire world into the abyss—perhaps a suitable analogy can be thought of, which is a higher-dimensional existence similar to a black hole."

"In a black hole, there are no stars; all light and information are swallowed up, and life cannot exist. So, can you imagine what kind of solution might be possible?"

"Creating a star?" someone recalled the title of the speech.

“That’s right.” Liu Sheng nodded.

"Creating a star is not just about restoring light and heat to this planet on the brink of collapse; more importantly, it can bring a completely new gravitational field. If all calculations are correct, it may even reverse the downward trend and pull us back from the edge of the abyss."

"This is impossible!"

Professor Mendel, the astrophysicist of the Western empire, was the first to vehemently oppose it:
"Stars cannot exist inside black holes! Any structure would be torn apart within the event horizon, not even light could escape. Your so-called 'stars' simply cannot exist in such a realm."

“I didn’t say we’ve entered a black hole,” Liu Sheng shrugged. “I just said ‘similar to a black hole.’ We can’t confirm whether the abyss is equivalent to a black hole, but we can think of it as a gravitational collapse mapping from a higher-dimensional space.”

"Our goal is not to survive inside the black hole, but to save ourselves in the boundary state before we completely fall in."

"In the actual structure of a black hole, the accretion disk near the event horizon itself has extremely high temperature and strong radiation, and is one of the strongest energy fields known in the universe."

"This means that it could constitute an ideal basis for high-energy matter."

"Theoretically, if we can construct a local anti-gravity field at the edge of the event horizon, similar to a 'negative mass bubble,' we might be able to create a 'star incubation field' with suitable gravity."

"So... how do we create this kind of 'negative mass bubble'?"

"This is where 'eerie energy' comes in."

"Next, Professor Xue will demonstrate the theoretical derivation: how we will manipulate the strange gas perturbation to regulate the local energy-momentum tensor, thereby forming a stable negative mass bubble structure within the framework of general relativity, and then constructing a gravitational cancellation field."

Following Liu Sheng's rhythm of speaking, Xue Nian raised her hand and continued writing on the blackboard, slowly writing out the entire derivation model.

As the formula unfolded line by line, the room gradually quieted down.

Those experts and scholars who understood it were initially just puzzled, but then they all leaned forward, their eyes shining with disbelief.

This is not pure fantasy.

Although this conjecture is somewhat shocking, it is still based on the known theoretical framework, with a clear logical loop, and it is highly consistent with many existing unsolved conjectures and theories.

Although its practical feasibility remains far from certain, it is at least theoretically possible.

Shen Zhiyu listened attentively.

However, her reaction was different—she was serious but not surprised, as if she had already heard about it.

Liu Sheng then added from the side:

"As we have already mentioned, this local anomaly region caused by the disturbance of strange energy is called a 'strange realm'. When multiple strange realms are superimposed and their boundaries are restricted by external dimensional pressure, a superimposed state region between stable and unstable will be generated."

"We call this the 'threshold space'."

"With this 'threshold space' as a gravitational counteracting field, avoiding the influence of tidal forces, we may be able to obtain and regulate high-energy sources from the accretion disk at the edge of the abyss, encapsulate them in the 'threshold space,' and form a stable gestation environment."

"Add to that a high-energy gravitational well created by the 'law of attraction,' causing all matter to collapse towards the center, compressing into the core of a star..."

"In this way, we can gradually build a star-like structure that is truly usable."

"But this also raises the next key question."

Everyone tensed up and held their breath to listen.

"How can we make this star truly stable and usable for this planet?"

　I tried my best, it was really hard to write...
