Chapter 245 Eye of the Sky
Lin Xian put away his smile.

Looking at the trash can under my feet:

"What do you mean?"

"This is how I analyzed Lin Xian." The trash can robot VV turned its tracks and revolved around Lin Xian... This action was clearly imitating Lin Xian's pacing just now:
"The mirror itself is a very simple, pure thing without any deep meaning. If, as you said, that woman sincerely wanted to help you, she would definitely try her best to make the hint obvious enough, understandable enough, and clear enough for you to understand..."

"I think you're thinking too complicated. You know what? There's a good quote from a famous science fiction book: [Many times, we can't find the answer, not because we don't think complicated enough, but because we don't think simple enough.]"

"It's just like the mirror puzzle that woman gave you. If you think about it in a complicated way, it's simply endless. I just used all my computing power to continuously extend and expand... I even considered the effect of the mirror on the speed of light, but it's obvious that all of this is meaningless. If she wanted to hint at something else, she could have used a more appropriate hint. There was no need to lead you to the mirror."

"Again, if she really wanted to help you and really wanted you to understand her hint quickly, she would definitely do her best to make the puzzle simpler, instead of making it as complicated as you think, giving you a headache, making you guess, and making you unable to find the answer... Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

……

VV's words left Lin Xian speechless.

I really don’t know what to say.

VV said that this woman would never deliberately make things difficult for herself. Since she said it was a mirror, it must be a mirror. Since she asked herself to look in the mirror more often, she should just listen to her and look in the mirror more often.

The reason why I am so confused and have no idea.

It’s not that my thoughts are not complicated enough, but that my thoughts are not simple enough.

I don't know how serious it is.

"so……"

Lin Xian spoke:

"You still think I don't spend enough time looking in the mirror every day? I should understand what that woman said and look in the mirror more often, right?"

The trash can robot nodded:
"I think you are being too picky, Lin Xian. It would be better to simplify the problem and do what she said. Or... since she mentioned that she would wait for you at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, is this specific hint the [precondition] for the mirror puzzle?"

"So, if you can't find any answers from the clue of the mirror for the time being, you might as well follow the route planned by this woman and solve the coordinate points, reference objects, and things she prepared for you in the outer space-time first. Maybe after that, the answer to the mirror puzzle will be revealed."

"Of course, I still want to advise you that the information you provided me is only what you think is correct, and it may not be truly correct. My reasoning is based on the assumption that the woman is indeed a time traveler, she will not harm you, and she is your accomplice, and that everything she said is true... If the information you provided in the question is incorrect, then the answer I gave is bound to be inaccurate."

Lin Xian thought for a while.

nodded.

VV's analysis makes sense.

Taking a roundabout way to save the country may not be a bad idea.

He cared too much about the answer to the mirror puzzle, but the reason why Huang Que appeared in Liu Feng's laboratory at that time was actually because her most direct purpose was to get the cosmological constant, space-time clock, space-time curvature, and space-time reference coordinates.

The note she left behind on purpose may be the real priority.

"Well, when I have time in a few days, I can go to the laboratory of Donghai University to talk to Liu Feng and see if there are any breakthroughs in his research results."

Say it.

Lin Xian sat back in his chair, facing the electronic blackboard.

"Are you going to start memorizing the code now, Lin Xian? Hurry up, I can't wait to meet you in the world 600 years ago."

The trash can robot VV waved his hand, and the nurse robot who had been waiting for a long time next to him walked over with a syringe, aiming at Lin Xian's neck.

"No, wait a minute today, I have something else to do."

Lin Xian smiled slightly:
"The day after tomorrow is the day when the Donghai City government will hold a commendation meeting for me. I have to go on stage and give a speech, which will be broadcast simultaneously on the Internet, Donghai TV, and in classrooms of all major primary and secondary schools. Unfortunately, I'm busy with other things right now and don't have time to write a speech."

"So... before you memorize the code today, VV, please write me a speech for the commendation ceremony."

"what?"

The trash can made a mechanical crackling sound.

It put its two mechanical clamps on its waist, looking very unconvinced:

"Please! I am the greatest artificial intelligence in human history! The most brilliant pearl in the history of human scientific development! I am the secret weapon left by the respected Ms. Zhao Yingjun for human civilization!"

"Just like what you said just now, I am boiling hot oil. I am such a great being, I should be doing something big like traveling through time and space, saving the world, and cracking the secrets of the universe! You actually asked me to write an elementary school composition for you?"

"What do you know."

Lin Xian pressed down on the top of the trash can to stop it from standing on tiptoe:

"Writing papers is the correct way to use artificial intelligence, fast."

Although VV was not convinced.

But after all, Lin Xian was its master, the person with the highest authority in the entire Rhine Sky City. It still obeyed and took less than 0.0000001 seconds to generate a speech for the commendation meeting and displayed it on the electronic blackboard.

Lin Xian watched with great interest:

"Well, the writing is good."

"Don't you need to take drugs to memorize this speech?" VV asked.

It is very good at imitating, and is very curious about the words and deeds of ghosts from the old times like Lin Xian, and always imitates them blindly.

"This is definitely not necessary." Lin Xian shook his head:

"You don't need to memorize this kind of speech by rote. You just need to read it once to understand the structure and ideas. If your code has the same logic and grammar as the speech, I may be able to memorize it in less than a month."

"Actually, there are some things in common...it's just that you're too stupid. If you replace me with a qualified programmer, he will definitely be much more efficient than you." VV complained.

After reading the speech for half an hour, Lin Xian had almost memorized it, and after going out, he could write it down in his own tone by copying it.

In this way, the issue of the commendation meeting the day after tomorrow has been resolved.

This is a speech that has attracted the attention of the entire city, and we cannot make a mistake and embarrass ourselves.

"Okay, I'm done reading."

Lin Xian tilted his neck and pulled down his collar:

"VV, take drugs!"

……

In the next few days, Lin Xian turned into an emotionless human copier.

With the help of an overdose of drugs, his memory suddenly improved and he could remember at least 500 lines of code every night.

Especially after getting through the first two days of hexadecimal garbled codes, the pure codes composed of English words later on became much easier to memorize.

As he became more familiar with these coding languages, Lin Xian's efficiency in memorizing codes became faster and faster. Sometimes, if the code was simple, he could memorize 700 or 800 lines in a day.

He believes this number will continue to rise.

On the one hand, under VV's guidance, my understanding of the logic of programming languages ​​has become deeper and deeper, and the pressure on memory has become less and less.

On the other hand, VV's code is really beautiful.

Simple as poetry.

It is worthy of being called the most brilliant technological pearl in human history. The beauty of its code alone is worthy of this self-proclaimed title.

When reciting this beautiful code that was like poetry, Lin Xian also thought of what Li Qiqi once said...

She said she didn't understand math, but she understood art.

Liu Feng's Introduction to the Cosmological Constant is beautiful to read and to look at, so this theory cannot be wrong.

"Because the universe itself is beautiful."

Lin Xian also agreed with this statement.

He was more convinced than anyone else that Liu Feng's "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant" must be correct.

Or...

Someday.

It will be right!
……

the next day.

After Lin Xian got up, he found a WeChat message from Liu Feng:
"Lin Xian! Come to the laboratory when you are free! There has been progress in the research!" He yawned and sat up.

It is not difficult to see Liu Feng’s excitement from these three exclamation marks.

Lin Xian also felt it was a coincidence.

I said last night that I would go see Liu Feng when I had time, but it turns out that he appeared when I spoke of him.

After replying with an OK gesture, Lin Xian got up, packed up and prepared to go to Tunghai University.

My private car driver was waiting downstairs early.

The electric door of the business car opened, and after Lin Xian got in, it turned and drove towards Tunghai University and Rhine Joint Laboratory.

"Tell me, what breakthroughs have you made in your research?"

As soon as he entered the laboratory, Lin Xian went straight to the point.

He immediately saw the ordinary [Space-Time Clock] on the experimental table.

Pick it up and take a look.

The numbers above remain unchanged:
0.0000000
Eight zeros.

In fact, he was still looking forward to it.

If one day, as Huang Que said, Liu Feng found a reference coordinate system outside of this space-time and calibrated this space-time clock to zero...

When time and space change again and the space-time butterfly effect occurs, how will the numbers above change?
What would the curvature of space-time be?

Could it be related to the cosmological constant?

Sometimes when you think about it carefully, scientific research is really an interesting thing. Especially this kind of topic that is ahead of current scientific cognition, it really makes people curious and feel a sense of accomplishment.

Liu Feng stood up from the experimental equipment, pushed his glasses, and walked towards Lin Xian:
"Lin Xian, I think I have found a way to discover that kind of [extra-temporal reference object]."

"How to say?"

Lin Xian pulled a chair and sat down, looking at Liu Feng.

"It's like this, Lin Xian, let me give you an example."

Liu Feng also pulled up a chair and sat opposite Lin Xian:
"You must have heard that there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall, right?"

"definitely."

"Although conventionally speaking, a wall is impenetrable, this proverb illustrates a truth: there is no absolutely impenetrable wall in the world, and no barrier that can completely prevent anything from passing through."

Liu Feng pursed his lips:
"For example, water cannot pass through plastic bags, but oil can! Plastic bags are generally made up of polyvinyl chloride molecules, and there are gaps between molecules. Any object shorter than the gap between molecules can easily pass through the plastic bag."

"Of course I understand this."

Lin Xian stretched out his hand to signal Liu Feng to hurry in:

"What you mean is that there will always be something smaller than the distance between molecules, atoms, or even nuclei, that can pass through the smallest gap. Just like the Planck constant you told me last time, the universe itself is discontinuous, and it also has a shortest distance length, which is the Planck length. You can continue with this concept."

"Yes, that's what it means!"

Liu Feng gave Lin Xian a thumbs up as if he was coaxing a primary school student:
"So I boldly conclude that—"

"【Spacetime itself is not a wall without cracks!】"

"If space-time curvature really exists, if there are different space-times and different world lines, then there must be walls between these different space-times, preventing the time and matter of each space-time from communicating and crossing."

"But there is no absolutely impenetrable wall! If the smallest gap in the wall of space-time is the same as the smallest gap in the universe, which is the Planck length. Then if, in a certain space-time curvature, the Planck length of that space-time is smaller than the Planck length of our space-time... do you know what will happen? It's obvious-"

"[Microscopic particles from another space-time may pass through the Planck gap in the wall of space-time and travel into our space-time!]"

……

Lin Xian listened to Liu Feng's description.

Pick up the water cup on the laboratory table and drink water tactically.

Although it sounds a bit outrageous, in theory, this theory makes sense.

Since our universe is not continuous and has a minimum Planck length, why must spacetime itself be continuous? The spacetime wall between different spacetimes may really exist like the Planck gap, a minimum length gap.

When Liu Feng made the space-time clock, he had already assumed that the Planck constant, Planck length, and Planck time in different space-times had extremely small differences.

If all his assumptions hold true...

[It is not impossible that there is a microscopic particle from another space-time that is shorter than the current space-time, and that penetrates into the current space-time from another space-time through the Planck gap in the space-time wall.]

"I roughly understood it."

Lin Xian put down the water cup:

"This theoretical system is based on the premise that all your conjectures and assumptions are correct, and it can indeed be self-consistent. The difficulty lies in how we can prove it and find it. According to you, the length of that microscopic particle is even smaller than the Planck length of our current space-time and current universe... How can we possibly find it?"

Liu Feng smiled, stretched out his arms, and looked around the laboratory:

"Lin Xian, isn't everything in this world of ours made up of the most primitive and basic microscopic particles? If only a single microscopic particle from outer space and time infiltrated in, we would definitely not be able to find it."

"But when you find a cockroach, your house must be full of cockroaches. I believe there must be a certain number of such particles, and because of their own properties, they will definitely aggregate and combine together. In this way, it will be easy for us to observe a lot, even..."

“You can catch it!”

Liu Feng pushed up his glasses, his eyes firm and confident:

"If you don't mind, I would like to call this special particle from outer space-time--"

"【Space-time Particles】!"

Lin Xian couldn't help but laugh.

Is this a common problem among scientists?
I always like to name the things I invent, and it seems that I have my own set of naming standards.

Just like Liu Feng, he is fighting against time and space. No matter what he names, he has to add the prefix of time and space.

But, it is indeed very appropriate.

"Liu Feng...you still don't understand what I mean."

Lin Xian smiled and shook his head:
"I have no objection to you naming this particle the space-time particle, or even the Liu Feng particle. But the main question is... does it really exist? Is your theory really correct?"

"Excuse me, I definitely support your research unconditionally, but we can't just keep shooting arrows into the air without hitting the target. I'm glad that your research has made a breakthrough, but the most important thing right now is that we must find this space-time particle, and then... we can calibrate your space-time clock and observe the changes in the curvature of space-time."

"Yes."

Liu Feng nodded:
"So, Lin Xian, this is why I called you here today. The equipment in the laboratory is no longer sufficient to support my continued research. I need new equipment."

"Of course that's no problem."

Lin Xian picked up the pen on the table, held it between his fingers and began to turn it:

"It's just buying equipment. Of course it's not a difficult task. The company still has a lot of money. Tell me, what equipment do you need? I will buy it for you directly."

“[Guizhou Sky Eye].”

Liu Feng replied.

pat-

The spinning fountain pen flew away from Lin Xian's fingertips and fell to the ground in a parabola.

The entire laboratory was in complete silence.

Lin Xian's hand, which was spinning a pen, froze on the table, looking at Liu Feng:

"What did you say?"

"Guizhou Sky Eye."

Liu Feng said word by word:
"It is... the world's largest spherical radio telescope located in the mountains in southern Guizhou Province, with a diameter of more than 500 meters--"

"Guizhou Sky Eye!"
