Chapter 434 Galilei
The above number is very interesting, it has self-describing characteristics.
In other words, these numbers are self-describing.
There is a saying circulating in Terran academia: "If I had only one hour to save Terra, I would spend fifty-five minutes defining the problem and only five minutes finding a solution."< br>
A qualified academic researcher attaches great importance to problem-solving methodology, especially the importance of defining problems and accurately understanding them.
And this sentence is especially applicable to all thaumaturges in Terra today.
In today's Terra, with the full proliferation of lineage networks, think tanks and pan-AI: raising questions and how to ask them better will be more important than how to solve problems quickly and conveniently. important.
In the field of thaumaturgy, the explosion of genealogical productivity has exceeded personal imagination.
The raising of problems is more important than the solution of problems. This is the innovation brought about by technology.
So, to understand the meaning of the numbers on the door, the first thing is of course to define it.
The above numbers can be understood as: "self-describing numbers".
Self-describing numbers, as the name suggests, are numbers that can describe the characteristics of the number itself through the number itself.
Use one sentence to summarize this characteristic of describing itself through the number itself, that is: the number on each digit in this number is the number of times the value of that digit appears. (The digits start from 0, and so on from left to right)
Xia Xiu is keenly aware of the characteristics of the numbers above. Each single digit of these numbers can accurately describe the number itself. feature. More specifically, in a self-describing number, the number on each digit represents the number of times that digit appears in the number.
Just like this set of numbers: 1210
The number in position 0 is 1, which means that the number 0 appears once in the entire number.
The number in the first digit is 2, which means that the number 1 appears twice in the entire number.
The number in the second position is 1, which means that the number 2 appears once in the entire number.
The number in the third position is 0, which means that the number 3 appears 0 times in the entire number.
The number in the 0th digit = 1, so 0 appears only once (“1” 210); the number in the 1st digit = 2, so the number 1 appears twice (1 “2” 10) , and so on, the number in the second digit is 1, so 2 only appears once (12 "1" 0), and the number in the third digit is 0, so it means that its occurrence in the integer number is 0.
To sum up, 1 0, 2 1s, 1 2, 0 3s, and then arrange them according to the characteristics of the self-description.
So, now the filling of numbers on [Vitruvian Man Door] must conform to the characteristics of self-describing numbers. , the number displayed on the digital lock slot above is: 32████0.
The number in the 0th position is 3, which means that this set of numbers will have three 0s, and a "0" has been seen on the door leaf, so there are still two positions with "0"s.
The number in the first digit is 2, which means that this group of numbers will have 2 1's.
The last digit is 0: this indicates that "6" does not appear in the number.
Since he already knew the numbers at digit 0 and 1, Xia Xiu could already determine that the remaining four digits contained two "0"s and two "1"s.
At the same time, he can exclude the occurrence of "6", so the remaining numbers can only be "2", "3", "4", and "5".
According to the nature of self-describing numbers, the number of occurrences of these numbers must match their position in the number.
It is now possible to directly analyze the remaining positions:
If "2" appears in a number, it must appear twice. But there is only one 2 on the door, so "2" only appears once.
"3" appears at most once, because the third digit is already another number.
"4" and "5" Since it is impossible to have four or five digits 4 or 5 in this number, they will not appear.
So, there is only one answer!
The blackened part can only be "1100" because it meets all the conditions.
So the complete number is "3211000".
After deducing the answer, Xia Xiu immediately started turning the digital lock on the [Vitruvian Door].
The above-mentioned inference process is placed on a macroscopic time scale, and not even a minute has passed, so Xia Xiu's sudden rotation of the number slot has frightened someone who was staring attentively at [[Vitruvian Man ] Portrait of the legendary hunter.
“What are you doing!?”
Bazan, who was observing the door with all his concentration, heard the sound and turned around to stare.
Then, his face was filled with panic.
He stared at the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven with a surprised look on his face, his eyes fixed on the swinging door in front of him.
Under Bazin's gaze, the blond young man's fingers slid lightly on the number slots. He seemed not to be afraid of this seemingly difficult mystery at all.
With each turn, a number is accurately positioned on the space, gradually forming a four-digit number. The blond young man operates so quickly and confidently, as if he already knows the password.
The reason why Bazin panicked was because this number lock only had three attempts.
Once the number of attempts is exceeded, the lock will be permanently locked, preventing them from entering the space behind the door.
For Bazan now, the clues and truth about the Country of Sea of Fog are more important than his life.
The man-made island was destroyed by giant ocean beasts. One by one, his companions were invaded and corroded, and died miserably in front of him. The people who were supposed to be protected by him died in a foreign land, but he "survive".
Since he survived, he must find justice for all the people who died.
Facing Bazin's surprise,
the blond young man's expression remained calm, as if he was convinced of his judgment. in
After entering the last number, he gently pressed the confirm button.
Bazin held his breath and nervously waited for the result.
There was a slight "click" sound, and the door lock was successfully unlocked.
Bazan had an expression of disbelief on his face. He could hardly believe what he was seeing.
The blond young man turned his head and showed a smile to Bazin. He stretched out the index finger of his right hand and tapped his temple lightly, and said with a smile:
"Please, angels in heaven are not fools. We all rely on our brains to make a living."
"..." Bazin was speechless for a moment.
When these words came out of the mouth of an angel from heaven, he felt uncomfortable hearing them, but now he couldn't refute them.
An unusually subtle thought was holding in his heart, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
“Let’s go, let’s see what Pedro Miguelset is up to.”
Xia Xiu pushed open the door and spoke to Bazan, who had not yet reacted. Then, he took the lead and stepped into the door.
Bazan immediately reacted from his daze. He saw the blond young man walking in first, and immediately took out his thaumaturgy handgun. After activating the predetermined thaumaturgy bombs, he followed suit. Inside the door.
**********
In a dark laboratory, a heavy and mysterious atmosphere filled the air. The light bulbs embedded in the walls of the laboratory flickered on and off, flickering with unstable light, creating a strange and uneasy atmosphere for the laboratory.
The light casts long shadows with each flicker, making the entire space appear darker and more depressing.
Buzz——
A special door suddenly emerged from the void. Then, the door opened, and a handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes walked out.
When Xia Xiu walked out of the [Vitruvian Door], his nose wrinkled subconsciously, and a unique smell filled the air.
The first thing you smell is a unique and pungent smell, which is the smell of formalin. This smell is mixed with other smells in the air, such as the slight cold metallic fragrance and mechanical grease. Subtle scents, together create an impressive atmosphere.
Xia Xiu's golden eyes couldn't help but look at the laboratory in front of him.
Under this flickering light, rows of round biological storage vessels are arranged, each vessel is filled with clear green nutrient solution.
Floating quietly in these vessels is a strange creature.
Their bodies are slender, and their transparent skin becomes more obvious in the nutrient solution, and their delicate muscle texture and slow-flowing blood are vaguely visible.
The bodies of these creatures have pipes with fluorescent data inserted into them.
One end of the pipeline is connected to complex equipment in the laboratory, and the other end is inserted deep into the organism. These pipelines emit a faint blue light under the light, giving people a sense of the future where technology and life are intertwined.
In the corner of the laboratory, various instruments and monitoring equipment operate quietly, and complex data and charts dance on the display screen, recording the life activities and experimental processes of these creatures.
[Tomb of Miguel Seth]
A prominent and unusual word appeared at the top of the display.
Buzz——
Bazin's figure also appeared in this cold laboratory called [Tomb of Miguel Seth].
"Is this here?" Bazin held the [Ebony Wood] and [White Ivory] tightly in his hands, and his eyes were quickly attracted by the rows of strange utensils in the laboratory.
【Finally, finally a living Terran human is here! 】
[Thaumaturge gun, you are the hunter of [Hall of Hunting]! ! ! 】
【Pedro’s request for help signal was finally successfully transmitted to Terra——】
The ecstatic voice suddenly sounded in the laboratory.
This sound is unique and strange. It is cold and sharp of machinery, but also combines the warmth and rhythm of biology.
It seems to be an electronically synthesized sound wave that becomes deeper and more textured through the transmission of data pipes.
Bazin immediately held both guns and pointed them at the glassware that made the sound, and the sound of his teeth gnashing immediately sounded.
"Damn aliens, it is indeed you! It was you who caused the [Palm Tree Artificial Base] to be directly destroyed, causing everyone in the base to be directly buried under the sea!!!"
At this moment, Bazan, who had found the real culprit who destroyed the artificial base, seemed so furious, but he was not completely carried away by his anger. This could be seen from the fact that he only drew his gun and roared instead of directly shooting.
Seeing that Bazan's sanity was still there, Xia Xiu didn't interfere too much. They finally found the real clues to the [Country of Fog Sea Incident], so naturally they couldn't do anything without getting any information. It directly destroyed the other party.
【········, it seems that the message of our distress signal was captured by those guys. As expected, they regarded our distress signal as what Pedro had speculated before his death. Bait, I'm very sorry about this, but we don't regret doing it.
For us, in the face of those abominable and unknown creatures, we want to get detailed information as soon as possible, deconstruction and analysis are the best choices, and deconstructing and analyzing those existences always requires some sacrifice— —】
“...So for these reasons, you casually killed my kind.”
Bazin's eyes were covered with ice at the moment, while the fourth sword-wielder of the Kingdom of Heaven on the side began to seriously look at the alien named [Miguel Set] on the vessel filled with nutrient solution.
The creature that made a noise that was neither human nor machine was lying quietly in the largest circular biological storage vessel.
[Migelset] has an appearance somewhere between a snake and a fish, with a body length of about one to three meters. Its body is slender and streamlined, showing the elegance unique to aquatic animals. The most striking thing is that the body of this creature is almost completely transparent, and only when the light shines at a specific angle, its delicate muscle texture and slow-flowing blood can be vaguely seen.
Its head is relatively slender, its eyes are bright and keen, and it seems to be always alert to the surrounding environment.
It is now in a weak state, but the vitality and wisdom hidden in its body can still be felt.
Several luminous data pipes are inserted into the surface of this strange creature's skin. These pipes are closely connected to its body and emit weak fluorescence.
The creature in the vessel is in sharp contrast with the data pipeline connected to it. The data fluorescence on the pipe and the transparency and softness of the creature itself form a strange beauty.
[Please rest assured that we will no longer pose any threat to humans or even other creatures——]
The living [Migelset] seems to have sensed Bazin’s murder. I thought, so he expressed relief.
"You are going to die." Xia Xiu, who had been silent at first, suddenly spoke up. He looked at [Miguel Set] who had countless data tubes inserted into his body and said such a sentence. Very auspicious words.
[Your eyes are very vicious. Yes, I, our family is about to be completely extinct. I am the last survivor of [Migelset], and my name is Galilei. This is a human name given to me by Pedro, because our family did not need a symbol to distinguish individuals like a name before. However, Pedro is a rebel of the group like me, so I deserve it. I also have a name, and now, as the last individual of [Migelset], I am about to die——】
The alien named Galilei calmly said to me at this moment. The two humans calmly announced their deaths.
Today is a wonderful day: the plane was supposed to leave at 2 o'clock, but I rushed to the airport at around 10 o'clock, and then I was alone in a place in the airport typing words with my computer in my hand.
Finally got off the plane and took the subway.
I actually came across the best of the best that can only appear online.
In the same subway car, two children were yelling in front of them. One of the elder brothers couldn't help but said: "Whose child is it? Come out and take care of it."
Then the child's mother came out and yelled. One sentence: "Don't you have children? What's wrong with the children playing?"
Because it was so classic, the people in the same carriage and I were a little embarrassed. We wanted to laugh, but we felt that the occasion was not right. I was shaking while holding my suitcase and couldn’t laugh!
The eldest brother was also very fierce and replied directly: "It is because of parents like you that the current social atmosphere is not good."
The child's mother replied: "You Do you have the quality? What happened to the child for a while? You deserve to be single! "
"..." The elder brother was silent for a while, then stood up and said, "Smelly SB, you are the only one who has the quality!"
The child's mother was also angry, "You unqualified guy, if the child hadn't been here, we wouldn't have finished right now. Are you not convinced now? If you are not convinced, just call the police!"
"Big SB, let me tell you, it's me who doesn't care about you. There are really different types of parents for children. SB, I won't play with you anymore."
The child's mother also wanted to say What, and the eldest brother has already left with his bag and went to the next box.
