Dream Guide

Su Huilan took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, let her consciousness sink into a state of clarity, and then did what Aoki had just done - push away the surrounding mental force fields.

Her power is not as majestic as Aoki's, but her control is more subtle and delicate. Her mental power spread slowly and evenly around her, first squeezing the island's natural mental power away from her, and creating a mental vacuum centered around herself.

Then, this space slowly spread all the way to Aoki, surrounding him bit by bit.

Su Huilan had a strange feeling again, as if she was touching the man. But that man was like an immortal in the mist, and she couldn't see his true face clearly, even though her consciousness had penetrated his body.

When the vacuum completely enveloped Aoki, she stopped. Because the peripheral mental pressure suddenly increases as the space increases, it is like pushing a spring to the bottom and suddenly stops, and what you have to bear next is the force of its rebound.

If she exerted all her strength, she could certainly expand the space a little larger, but she was very sure that she would not be able to reach the point where Aoki had emptied the entire cave just now. This feeling of being pressured from all sides is really uncomfortable, and it feels like the conscious body is about to be torn apart.

Until this moment, Su Huilan didn't know how strong Qingmu was and how much pressure he had just endured!

Where are your limits? When she looked at Aoki, she was filled with admiration and curiosity.

The vacuum at this moment had turned into a dazzling white, the space disappeared, leaving only her and Aoki. The ground was gone, as were the stones, branches, and tangled grass. The fire fell right on the edge of the vacuum, half in and mostly out. The inner half is gone, and the outer half is still burning.

Aoki was smoking a cigarette. The sparks on the cigarette butt and the white smoke were obvious, but only the outline remained. His entire figure resembled a black and white sketch taped to the wall.

Su Huilan just wanted to confirm again whether what happened just now was normal here, so she didn't persist anymore. After all, it was uncomfortable to bear the mental pressure from the outside.

She withdrew her mental power and said, "This is not an illusion, this place is really weird!"

Aoki said: "Did you feel that the two of us were like two-dimensional creatures just now?"

Su Huilan nodded and said, "Indeed, I look at you as if you were looking at a painting."

Aoki said: "When you mentioned the Klein bottle, I have been thinking, what is this special bottle made of?"

"As I said before, the Klein bottle is actually a four-dimensional space, it has one more dimension."

"No, no, I'm not talking about space. I'm talking about what material the bottle should be made of, such as glass, plastic or something."

"Ha, how is that possible!" Su Huilan complained, "Glass can only produce a visual model of a Klein bottle in the three-dimensional world, but it is not a real Klein bottle."

"But since it is a distorted space, there must be some reason for it, right?" Aoki said, "What are the usual causes of space distortion?"

Su Huilan said: "Usually it is mass, that is, gravity. The space around massive celestial bodies will be distorted by gravity, and light will bend when passing near it. Black holes are the most extreme example."

"What else?"

"The universe is very complex, and there are dark energy, dark matter and other things that we don't know about."

"Where's the mental power?"

"Mental power?" Su Huilan's eyes lit up, "You mean, spiritual power can distort space and form a Klein bottle?"

"Why not? If you think about it, our dreams are actually not limited by time and space. The only rule that limits the dream world is our memory. The foundation that supports the dream space is the spirit. What kind of space is the spirit surrounding it? Okay, memory is just content that fills space, like this island.”

Su Huilan was startled: "According to your statement, we are all in a dream now."

"It's very possible! It's just that I can't figure out who is so powerful as to create such a dream."

Aoki has experienced the group real-life dream arranged by Kitano Masaki, and it still exerts unimaginable power more than seventy years later. However, the space on this island is much larger and more magical than the cave in southern Yunnan. The key is still on the island. The ubiquitous spiritual force field.

Su Huilan shook her head and said, "I don't think it's possible. Before we went to the island, we were in the vast Pacific Ocean."

Aoki was smoking and suddenly blew out two smoke rings. The smoke rings were very round, slowly spreading in the air, and then merged together to form a cloud of mist.

"Can a Klein bottle be decomposed into two Moby rings?" he asked uncertainly. It was really difficult to remember something named after a scientist, and his memory was sometimes very good. It's very confusing at times, sometimes I can think of some inexplicable things, and sometimes it becomes completely blank.

"It's a Möbius strip, not a Moby ring." Su Huilan corrected, "Theoretically, two Möbius strips can be spliced ​​into a Klein bottle. What's wrong?"

Aoki said: "Can we understand it this way? Assuming that this mental force field that comes from nowhere constitutes this space similar to a Klein bottle, then when we use mental force to push away the force field, this Klein bottle The bottle was decomposed and turned into two Möbius strips. The Möbius strips are flat...so you look at me like a painting on the wall."

Su Huilan was suddenly surprised and confused: "Because we have become two-dimensional creatures on the Mobius belt? This... is too scary!"

Aoki said: "Maybe we are seeing a three-dimensional projection of ourselves on a two-dimensional plane, or maybe we are just seeing a projection of our consciousness."

"What about...our bodies?" Su Huilan asked.

"I don't know." Aoki shook his head.

In terms of knowledge, Su Huilan is an authentic professor, and her scientific literacy is much better than Aoki's. However, in such an environment, the higher the scientific literacy, the easier it is to lose confidence. On the contrary, Aoki can think wildly without feeling guilty of blaspheming sacred science. Moreover, after being in contact with him for such a long time, Su Huilan has realized Aoki's ability. People are naturally dependent on the strong, especially when facing unknown fears.

When Aoki came up with a very absurd but very reasonable explanation after careful consideration, Su Huilan's rationality gradually returned. She thought and said:

"Captain Church's diary wrote that the Discovery once lost its way at sea. They first encountered a heavy fog, and then continued sailing at sea... They may have entered a Klein bottle like us, but They kept spinning on the curved surface of the bottle, so they were always in the sea and couldn't find a place to dock. They might even have passed through a four-dimensional wormhole along the bottleneck and arrived at Christmas a few months later."

"The curved surface of the bottle?" Aoki raised his head, his eyes seemed to have passed through the dark brown stone illuminated by the fire at the top of the cave, and saw a large bottle standing in the void on the Pacific Ocean, "That means they are probably above us. Huh? Well... The coal boss flew up and hit the belly of the bottle, and then slid along the neck of the bottle to the bottom of the bottle - the lake! Then why didn't it go a few months later? "

Su Huilan said: "It may not have passed through the wormhole, but just slid down the bottle surface. Moreover, the position of the four-dimensional space corresponding to the three-dimensional space-time is not fixed, and the space-time point it falls to may be different every time it travels."

"Oh, I was originally thinking about whether I could travel through time and space to rescue everyone on the ship!" Aoki sighed.

"Of course this is impossible!" Su Huilan said with certainty, "Parallel universes cannot overlap, and the world you save must not be this world."

Aoki also thought it was absurd. Although he did not agree with the concept of parallel universe, he no longer wanted to save the entire ship.

"But we must rescue Mrs. Larry!" He exhaled a long puff of smoke, his tone was lazy, but it revealed an undeniable determination.
