Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

Theorix: "I did not succeed."

"I waited a long time, but no second similar star core appeared."

"We want to create our own star core, but we can't replicate it."

"The study of the unknown source of power in the star's core has also clarified its internal energy."

"The replacement of the stellar core's driving force is still somewhat lacking; my research on imaginary numbers is insufficient."

"At the same time, there is a ready-made problem: even if star cores do appear on a large scale, it is not realistic to modify each of the huge number of star cores one by one."

"Furthermore, I strongly suspect that the star core and star orbit are inherently paired, and that some being has the same idea as me, with the star core being that being's practice."

Theorix: "So I changed my approach; as mentioned before, the movement of celestial bodies is also a form of 'intelligence.'"

"And it is also blank enough to allow for free doodling and 'writing programs'."

"I once again utilized 'harmony,' and the 'harmonic intelligence core,' for celestial movements also possess their own rhythms."

"Treat every star in the starry sky as a musical note."

"Let a thousand stars play in succession, composing a web of thoughts among the stars."

"It can have no fixed form, yet it can present all forms at any time."

"It can be a storm of thoughts sweeping across galaxies, a precisely operating geometric structure, or even the whispered chorus of billions of stars, a magnificent movement that is constantly self-optimizing."

"Then, all the stars will be relocated and placed above their orbits to replace the star's core—"

Theorix: "And the star trails become conduits of thought, streams of wisdom."

Lin Yi gave Theorix a deep look: "What will this 'Harmonious Body' ultimately produce—pure 'wisdom,' or a blind behemoth with terrifying computing power but utterly devoid of intelligence?"

Theoliths: "Isn't it possible, in fact, that possessing intellect could create a second 'Knowledgeable One'?"

Lin Yi asked again, "Leaving aside the question of whether it's possible to move all celestial bodies at the same time, is it possible that there are people on many of these celestial bodies?"

"What should the higher-ups do?"

"Wouldn't a backlash of this magnitude cause a global mass extinction?"

Theorix: "..."

Well, at that time he forgot to consider the issue of leaving survivors...

Elijah Salas asked me the same question when we exchanged reasons for going to 'prison' last time...

Seeing Theolix's silence, Lin Yi sighed, then immediately understood: "Alright... I understand..."

"I've never even considered it—"

Inspiration – Conference of Fictional Historians

Chapter 415 Why did the experiment fail? Because it was blown up by the Emperor.

Theorix: "At that time, I did indeed overlook the redundancy beyond these experimental variables."

"This is because even for geniuses, this great undertaking is a difficult test."

"This is a solitary journey carrying the weight of mountains on one's back, and the outcome is still unknown."

"If we add more constraints and considerations to ourselves, and further burden the 'mountain'..."

"Everything is far from over. I might consider these things when I have the energy, but unfortunately, I won't have the energy then, as I've already devoted myself entirely to it."

To paraphrase a quote once uttered by Zandal Ichi Kuwahara, the #1 member of the "Genius Club"—

"There's no need to be angry at the truth; the value of a calculation lies only in the answer itself—"

"As for the process of finding the solution, whether elegant or violent, solemn or humorous—"

Ultimately, it all means nothing.

Lin Yi remained noncommittal: "You're overthinking it. I was just surprised for a moment and had no intention of making any moral judgments."

"after all--"

After all—she was just a standard, stereotypical genius with a more obsessive logic, Ruan Mei.

He is not as good as Ruan Mei, but he is better than emperors and primitive doctors.

Lin Yineng could understand that a genius, when he finds what he believes to be the truth, will stop at nothing to prove it.

Lin Yi: "After all—the universe remains peaceful and unharmed, the stars have not shifted, and the sea of ​​stars remains clear and bright."

"There is no such thing as a 'near-missed calamity' in the world; too many hands hold the future in their grasp..."

"And your presence here says it all."

"While I don't entirely agree with a style that focuses solely on the result and ignores the process, I... prefer to hear what happens next in the story rather than engage in moral debate."

Were the consequences of Theolix's actions serious?

It was serious, but history has left no clues, so it was probably nipped in the bud.

In comparison, the trauma that the two Ruperts inflicted on the galaxy was more real and tangible.

Theorix: "Then—as you wish."

My second idea also failed—

"I'm once again dedicating myself to 'harmony,' wanting to verify the feasibility of the theory through pilot testing."

The theory may be feasible, but practice makes perfect.

"I studied the gravitational constant, the subtle resonances of stars, visited the capital of vocal music to study music theory, learned about the etheric editing of the 'Punk Lords,' borrowed some ideas from 'Elijah's' 'remote sensing,' and, as an outsider, tried to understand 'harmony' in the holy land of harmony..."

"It was a long preparation, but fortunately I have plenty of patience."

"After a long period of preparation, I deconstructed 30 million stars."

"Looking up from the starting point of the pilot project, every visible star is a node in this experiment—"

"This is also the limit I estimate I can handle in this 'Harmonious Harmony' performance."

"A different approach may be needed later..."

"For example, leveraging 'memory,' 'memory entanglement' might be useful—"

"For example, Ms. Schusker's 'metacosm' is a very good idea; quantum entanglement might also be helpful—"

"However, that was contingent on the success of the pilot program. But... that opportunity is gone."

Theorix remained calm.

Lin Yi asked curiously, "Did Polka Kaka come knocking on your door? Or did the arbitrator come knocking? Or was he caught by the Equilibrium like Elijah Salas?"

Theorix: "Neither."

"A solemn experiment cannot tolerate any external disturbances. My actions were discreet enough that neither Kakamo nor the arbitrator of 'Balance' came looking for me..."

"Of course, even without these, they probably wouldn't have had the time to find them."

"All because—the Imperial War broke out."

"I have to admit, this was beyond my expectations."

"The pilot experiment does not require a peaceful world, but excessive turmoil can still significantly interfere with the experiment."

"War raged everywhere, stars exploded, stars went out, and the abnormal gravitational waves from the collapse of black holes, all of which, in their exquisite resonance, became jarring noise and endless disturbances."

"There was no other choice but to postpone the pilot experiment indefinitely."

Lin Yi: "And then?"

Theorix: "The area I defined was actually quite remote, but perhaps it was precisely because of its remoteness that it became a major battleground between the Emperor and the Corporation."

"The two sides in the war have no scruples. One is fighting for survival, and the other is fighting for the practice of 'truth'."

"I can't really blame them, and because of my own position, I can't openly appear to stop the fighting."

"We can only watch their firefight from the sidelines."

"Thirty million stars, all turned to dust, leaving behind only a vast, desolate void devoid of starlight in later generations."

There's nothing more to say—

Lin Yi: "Pfft—"

Lin Yi tried hard to suppress his laughter, but he could still make a sound. The opening was grand, but the ending was hasty.

Theorix... looks quite calm, so he probably isn't angry, right?

Lin Yi: "It's okay, you can continue."

Theorix: "..."

Theorix: "Fortunately, I had enough patience to begin preparations once again."

"only......"

Theorix's fingers twitched slightly, his previous calm seemingly gone.

Theorix: "Another Imperial War, two borderland trade wars, an interstellar energy war—"

"Several large-scale 'conflicts' around the world have 'coincidentally' covered my newly prepared pilot project."

"Time and time again... time and time again the flames of war have shattered the stars into ashes."

"Each time, it just so happened that my pilot experiment could not be carried out."

Lin Yi: "That's terrible~"

Theorix: "No—it's actually a stroke of luck."

Lin Yi: “…”

"Indeed...and then what?"

Theorix: "Because the interstellar energy war has been too long, I have had no choice but to secretly spread the basic methods of applying imaginary energy."

"The conversion efficiency is extremely low, but it is enough to alleviate the disputes caused by the energy shortage problem."

"With the advent of devices such as the 'Imaginary Energy Engine,' which combines the use of imaginary numbers with conventional energy, the interstellar energy war finally came to an end."

Lin Yi: "Then, after the peace was restored, the experimental preparations continued? What stopped the experiment this time?"

Theorix: "I wasn't in a hurry after the peace was restored. Rupert II's scepter system really gave me a lot of inspiration—"

There's no need to be fixated on the natural constellations.

"Perhaps it would be appropriate to mix in some man-made celestial objects, such as a scepter, which would be a good choice."

Chapter 416 Elijah Salas: We're fellow inmates, what kind of work have you been up to?

Theorix: "The scepter can act as a relay, breaking through the upper limit of 'resonance'."

"The complete system of scepters already encompasses most of the universe. Take, for example, the scepter left behind by Rupert II after the Second Imperial War."

"As a relay, it might be possible to directly launch a complete experiment rather than a pilot project—"

"And so I began the guidance—"

Theorix: "For example, as the creator of the 'Erudite,' I possess some rudimentary knowledge of 'Star God System Modification.'"

"These superficial knowledge points are rarely put to practical use."

"However, it is still sufficient to capture the standing waves of 'Master of Broad Knowledge's' thinking and guide the disturbances of those standing waves."

"I have chosen someone from the Academy of Erudition—a scholar named Parthia."

"Mr. Lin Yi, do you know anything about her? Following my script, theoretically she should be somewhat famous in later generations."

"This is my way of making up for the fact that I have been guiding her life without her noticing."

Lin Yi's thoughts raced, and many events seemed to connect.

Lin Yi: "I know~"

"The Black Tower conducted a simulation called 'Gold and Machinery' within its 'Simulated Universe,' tracing back to that era."

"The simulation reproduced the disturbed standing waves, and the struggle within the 'Scepter'—a 'trophy'—that occurred after Parthia and throughout the entire Imperial War."

"Ultimately, with all the scepters completely destroyed, Parthia concluded with the 'Lone Wave Algorithm Conjecture.'"
