Chapter 171: Superstition in science is prohibited!
Under the influence of that huge attraction, Xie Shen felt that everything in front of him gradually became blurred and distorted.
Along with the bursts of distortion, all the matter in the entire world turned into liquid at this moment and mixed together.
When Xie Shen was in it, he felt as if he was at the bottom of the sea.
At this moment, he suddenly realized:
The liquid seawater transformed from matter is actually the material manifestation of the concept of time.
The agitation of sea water, the ocean currents formed when time flows.
Xie Shen was carried by the ocean current of time, so passively shuttled through the long river of time.
In this way, I don’t know how long has passed.
When Xie Shen opened his eyes again, he found that he had woken up from the secret room of the Ark spaceship.
He's back.
…
In the secret room.
Seeing Xie Shen open his eyes, Li Xiu spoke through the camera probe: "How do you feel? Is everything normal with you now?"
Xie Shen did not rush to respond to Li Xiu, but just showed a thoughtful expression on his face.
He seemed to be muttering to himself: "Don't talk to me yet. I just realized the laws related to time. This is very important."
Have you realized the law of time? ?
As soon as these words came out, the monks and scientific researchers in the laboratory all looked at each other in unison.
Among the crowd.
Zhugefu subconsciously glanced at Yi Yuankui, who had the cultivation level of the God Transformation Stage.
He asked: "Do you know what Xie Shen's words mean?"
"I don't know." Yi Yuankui shook his head and said, "But if I guessed correctly, Xie Shen should have figured out time-related spells in the process of traveling through time and space. For example, he can turn back time, or speed up time. Passing by.”
"Isn't it?" Zhugefu said in disbelief: "You monks in the transformation stage can really use magic to turn back time. Isn't this too outrageous?"
Yi Yuankui explained: "It's not like you think, making time all over the world go backwards."
"The time spells I'm talking about only act on an area within a certain range."
"For example, if you are killed, Xie Shen can use time spells to refresh your body to the state it was in one minute ago."
"Or if a magic weapon is damaged due to an accident, Xie Shen can also use time spells to restore the magic weapon."
Zhuge Fu nodded after hearing this.
He thoughtfully said: "If it only takes effect on a small scale, or if it affects a certain person or object, it wouldn't be too outrageous."
Just when Zhugefu was talking to Yi Yuankui.
In the secret room, Xie Shen suddenly opened his eyes.
But his whole body flashed.
The next second, he had left the secret room and came to the laboratory where Li Xiu and others were.
The first thing Xie Shen did when he came here was to confirm with Li Xiu: "Everything I experienced in the dream world, was it a dream or reality? Did we really meet more than 4,000 years ago?"
Li Xiu replied: "Strictly speaking, we did not meet each other more than 4,000 years ago, but only communicated on a conscious level."
"Conscious level??" Xie Shen asked with confusion on his face.
Li Xiudao: "I will show you a video and you will understand."
With that said, he operated the public terminal in the laboratory and called up a video from the spacecraft database.
As soon as the video was played, Xie Shen saw it - what was shown in this video was the military base that existed more than 4,000 years ago.
Can be seen on the video:
In the base, Li Xiu was sitting in the interrogation room.
He seemed to be talking to himself and said: "Listen to what you mean, so you are a time traveler? Did you return from the future to the present?"
In just this short scene, Xie Shen could already see the problem.
He asked Li Xiu: "What's going on? Why do you keep talking to the air in the video? I remember that time, I should be sitting opposite you, right?"
Li Xiu replied: "At that time, you were indeed sitting opposite me."
"It's just that you are just sitting across from me in consciousness."
"And your physical body is still on the Ark spacecraft in 6288 AD."
"Can you understand what I'm saying?"
"I understand." Xie Shen suddenly realized: "So from the beginning to the end, I just traveled back to the past with my consciousness, not my physical body?"
"That's right." Li Xiu nodded and said, "Since consciousness can affect people's brains, even though your consciousness has traveled back in time, people can still see you with the naked eye."
"As for the material level"
"For example, the camera in the interrogation room will not be able to capture your presence."
"Because of this, only me is shown on the video."
"It looked like I was talking to myself in the interrogation room."
Reasonable.
After hearing this, Xie Shen asked again: "So time can only be reversed on the level of consciousness, or in other words, on the spiritual level?"
"Yes." Li Xiu concluded directly: "On the material level, time is absolutely irreversible."
"If matter can travel through time, it means that everything can be created out of nothing."
"Let's use an analogy."
Li Xiu gave an example: "Suppose time can go back."
"Then the me on January 2nd can completely travel back to January 1st and give the me on January 1st a time machine."
"The next day."
"On January 2, I will take this time machine, travel back to January 1, and return the time machine."
"Can you see the problem?"
Li Xiu glanced at everyone present.
He explained: "If time can loop, then everything I just said makes logical sense."
"And, under the premise of being logical, I created a time machine out of nothing."
"I can even make infinite matryoshka dolls and generate all the substances I want out of thin air."
"But matter cannot be created out of thin air."
"So on the material level, going back in time will always be a paradox."
"As for the level of consciousness"
Li Xiu continued to explain: "Since time goes back on the conscious level, it will not directly affect the material world."
"So as long as we can artificially create Schrödinger's box and form a quantum superposition state at the level of consciousness."
"So theoretically speaking, human consciousness can travel back to the past."
"It's logical."
"Uh" After hearing this, Xie Shen couldn't help but ask again: "Why theoretically?"
Li Xiu said without hesitation: "Because with the current level of science and technology of mankind, it is simply impossible to send people's consciousness back to the past."
"No, don't say it's now."
Li Xiu added: "Even in the future."
"Even in 1,000 or even 10,000 years, it is unlikely that humans will be able to create a machine that can travel through time and space."
"Even if it's just a time travel at the level of consciousness."
"Looking at the entire universe, I am afraid that only indescribable creatures can send people's consciousness back to the past."
Although Li Xiu's explanation is a bit convoluted, the examples he gave are easy to understand.
After Xie Shen figured out the basic logic of turning back time, he stopped worrying about it.
He turned to ask: "By the way, why did that indescribable creature 'Dream' send me back to the past?"
Li Xiu explained: "According to my analysis of the pink mist, it can be seen that the indescribable creature 'Dream' on Jingchen Star feeds on the emotions generated by humans when they dream. Therefore, the pollution it causes to humans is specifically reflected in It will pull people into a dream.”
"And because you are a monk in the transformation stage, your mental power is strong enough." "In addition, you are blessed by the power of the indescribable creature 'Dream', and the Schrödinger box was artificially created with the joint efforts of all mankind. ”
"When all these are added together, your dreams will indirectly affect the reality of the past."
In view of the power of unspeakable creatures, it is too mysterious.
Therefore, Li Xiu's explanation can be regarded as the most concise and clear answer. There is no need to keep asking for details.
It's impossible to figure it all out.
Xie Shen no longer dwells on traveling through time.
He glanced at everyone in the laboratory and asked doubtfully: "By the way. Where are Deng Bin and others? Why can't he be the only one in the laboratory?"
"Deng Bin is still in seclusion." Zhugefu replied from the side: "He has now reached the most critical moment of seclusion. According to him, he seems to be merging totems derived from indescribable creatures. ”
After hearing this, Xie Shen said speechlessly: "So, Deng Bin finally chose to take the quick evil path of 'stealing the power of indescribable creatures'?"
Yi Yuankui also said: "Deng Bin's choice, although it can be achieved quickly, he can break through to the divine transformation stage in a very short time."
"But he will eventually end up like me, fellow Taoist Xie Shen, and my master."
"Sooner or later he will be attacked by unspeakable creatures."
"There is no way." Xie Shen said with a wry smile: "The matter has come to this, and then we can only take one step at a time."
In the laboratory.
Seeing that Xie Shen was safe and sound, everyone chatted for a few words and then dispersed to go about their own business.
…
After this incident, the Ark spacecraft continued to sail in the vast universe, heading towards the Aldebaran galaxy.
Time passes.
period.
The indescribable creature ‘Meng’ on Jingchen Star seems to be in an inactive state again.
It did not launch another attack on Xie Shen.
Now that it was safe, and considering that the cooling time of the Butterfly Dream Technique had passed, Xie Shen continued to practice his spiritual consciousness in the spirit transformation stage.
He sat cross-legged in the secret room and silently started the enhanced version of the Butterfly Dream Technique.
Lean less.
After a period of dizziness, Xie Shen entered the familiar darkness again.
There are countless stars in this darkness.
Each of these lights represents a person's soul.
Xie Shen used his spiritual consciousness to quickly discover a soul that was very compatible with him among the light spots.
He reached out and touched the spot of light.
The next second.
The light spot magnified infinitely in front of Xie Shen's eyes until it swallowed him whole.
…
"Brother, brother, are you okay?"
In a daze.
Xie Shen could feel that he was lying on a dry bed and being shaken wildly.
He opened his eyes with difficulty and found that a boy who was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old was beside him, looking at him nervously.
inside the house.
Seeing that Xie Shen woke up, the young man quickly showed a happy expression and said: "Brother, you finally woke up. Are you okay?"
Xie Shen said nothing, but quickly took a look at the surrounding environment.
Can see:
The walls of his current house are made of loess and adobe bricks.
The house was empty.
Apart from an earthen stove for burning wood, there was only a pile of dry firewood placed in the corner of the room.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a house with only four walls.
Through the windows, you can also see houses outside the house that are also made of loess and adobe bricks.
Obviously.
This is a village similar to ancient China, with very backward technology.
Thinking like this, Xie Shen suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from the back of his head.
He subconsciously reached out and touched it, and found that the back of his head was wrapped in cloth. It looked like he was injured.
Seeing Xie Shen touching the back of his head with his hand, the young man hurriedly warned him from the side: "Brother, don't keep touching the injury on the back of his head, otherwise it will heal slowly."
"Alas."
As he spoke, he suddenly sighed.
"It's all my fault that Dad studies science in private every day."
"In the end, I was caught by the people in the village, and I didn't tell you, but you were also implicated."
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have been pushed down during an argument."
Studying science privately? ?
What is this all about?
In order to find out what the original owner had gone through, Xie Shen hurriedly searched for the memory fragments remaining in this body.
By reading the remaining memory fragments of the original owner, we can see that the original owner's name is Geng Huan, and he grew up in this village called Banshan Village since he was a child.
There were five people in the original owner's family.
In addition to his parents, he also has a younger brother and an older sister.
My sister’s name is Geng Tao.
The young man who just spoke to Xie Shen was Geng Yizhi, the younger brother of the original owner.
Xie Shen was thinking.
But he saw his younger brother Geng Yizhi rushing to Xie Shen and urging him: "Brother, can you still walk around now?"
"If we can, then let's go to the village entrance first."
"My eldest sister and my mother have passed away."
"We have to hurry up."
"Otherwise, if it were later, I probably wouldn't have seen my father for the last time."
See you for the last time?
Because what remains in the original owner's mind are only memory fragments, not complete memories.
So Xie Shen doesn't know what happened now.
To obtain more information.
Xie Shen put his hand on his forehead and pretended to have a headache and said to his younger brother, "Brother, my head hurts so much. I can't remember what happened before. Can you tell me briefly?"
< br>
"Then let's talk while walking!"
Perhaps the situation at this moment has really reached a point of urgency.
Geng Yizhi did not dare to stay in the house longer.
He took Xie Shen's arm and explained loudly as he walked: "It probably happened the day before yesterday."
"The main reason is that dad is too superstitious about science."
"Even when someone from the village came to check, he didn't notice."
"So I was caught red-handed."
"You know, there were rules in the village."
There was a hint of helplessness in his younger brother Geng Yizhi's tone: "Anyone who studies science in private will be tied up on a wooden frame and burned alive if caught."
Ah this
Are you going to be burned to death for studying science?
After hearing this, Xie Shen didn't know what to say for a moment.
