Fabricating The World: Creating A Three-Body Invasion At The Beginning

"I didn't expect that such a story happened more than five hundred years ago!"

"I'll go, if that high-dimensional fragment stays for a while longer, Constantine XI might actually change his destiny!"

"In 1453, those Western European barbarians backstabbed Rome, which had given them countless material and spiritual wealth! Sooner or later, they would have to pay the price for it! This is not a vicious curse, but an inevitable price for cruelty!"

"We in Cathay have a very good relationship with Rome in history. The Book of Han Dynasty describes Rome as: similar to China, with all the countries looking up to it like the capital of Zhou, with the power of unification, with a high capital, golden land, fragrant trees as beams, and territory all around. Pi."

"Roman describes Han as: living in peace, never having war, having a large population, a vast territory, wisdom and justice, and strict laws."

"Good guy, what about Bai Chui?"

"Khan inherited the Qin system, and Rome also inherited the Qin system, funny.jpg"

"Rome is orthodox to Eastern Rome, third Rome is Russia, Russia is orthodox to Tsarist Russia, Tsarist Russia is orthodox to Golden Horde, Golden Horde is Mongolia, Mongolia is orthodox to Monan, Monan is orthodox to Horqin, Horqin District is in Tongliao! Proof: Rome Orthodoxy is in Cathay!"

"Ah this..."

"Although, what does this video have to do with the Three-Body Series?"

"Since it's a past event outside of time, it's normal to go back to history."

"I feel that the high-dimensional fragments appearing here should be a foreshadowing and may play a key role in the subsequent plot!"

While the audience was making jokes, the past events that happened in 1453740 were over.

As the scene turned, a familiar face finally appeared on the screen.

That was a face that appeared in Luo Ji's memory - Luo Ji's high school classmate and Ye Wenjie's daughter, Yang Dong!

At this moment, she was standing on the balcony on the top floor of the control center, staring dimly at the particle accelerator below that had stopped running.

Under the setting sun, this facility embodying the highest technology of mankind looks like a huge full stop.

'Period of what? I hope it's just physics. ’ Yang Dong thought silently.

In fact, it's not like she can't continue to live without thinking about this.

Physics is only half-life for her. She could give up theoretical physics and get married and have children like an ordinary woman.

But not long ago, Yang Dong accidentally discovered the secret hidden by his mother.

Like many elderly people, my mother's knowledge of computers and the Internet is quite limited, and she does not know that even if the hard drive is formatted, the information on it can be easily restored.

Yang Dong did the first thing in her life that she carried her mother on her back. Then, she learned about the Trisolaran world and the secret hidden by her mother.

She was almost overcome by shock. Her mother, who she depended on for her life, suddenly turned into another person, and it was the kind of person she couldn't even believe could exist in this world.

Yang Dong didn't dare to ask her mother. She was afraid that if she asked, her mother would really become a different person.

Let her mother keep her secret while she pretends that her mother is still her original mother, and life cannot go on.

However, for Yang Dong, this kind of life only has half a life left.

And when these two things are added together, it’s a whole life!

Yang Dong stared silently into the depths of the accelerator for a long time, as if there was a voice in her heart calling her to jump.

Just as she was hesitating to take that step, a colleague walked in.

Yang Dong immediately retracted his feet, quickly exited the control center, and returned to the terminal lobby.

In the hall, several terminals were still on. What made Yang Dong somewhat relieved was that the projects being carried out by these terminals had nothing to do with the accelerator.

After spotting Yang Dong coming in, a man with green glasses stood up and greeted her.

Yang Dong nodded, and the enthusiastic man introduced her to the current project.

This is a running computational model of Earth's evolution that simulates the past and future evolution of Earth's surface morphology.

Looking at the ever-changing blue planet on the computer screen, Yang Dong suddenly felt a strong desire to talk to people.

She looked at the man and suddenly asked: "Do you believe in God?"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Dong herself felt a little surprised, but thinking about the earth model running here, she felt somewhat relieved.

The man immediately shook his head: "I don't believe it."

"However," Yang Dong pointed to the continents and oceans on the screen, "the various physical parameters of the environment in which life may exist are very demanding. For example, liquid water only exists within a very narrow temperature range."

"This is especially true from a cosmological point of view. If the parameters of the Big Bang were shifted by one trillionth of a billion, there would be no heavy elements and there would be no life." Doesn't this show obvious traces of intelligent design? ?”

The man continued (cibc) shaking his head: "I don't know much about the Big Bang, but the environment you mentioned for the existence of life on earth is not that at all."

He brought up the ocean part of the screen: "The earth produced life, and life in turn affected the earth's environment. The current world is actually the result of the interaction between the two.

As he spoke, Green Glasses brought up a complex parameter interface on the computer, and then unchecked the top option box.

"We take away the life option and see what it would be like if the earth evolved to this point in time without life.

As the man pressed the confirmation key [the terminal began to operate at full power.

Soon, a newly formed planet appeared on the big screen, its surface was in a red-hot state, like a piece of carbon just taken out of the furnace.

As time passed in geological time, the planet gradually cooled, and the colors and textures on the planet's surface began to slowly change.

After a few minutes, an orange planet appeared on the screen, indicating that the simulation process was over.

"This is the roughest calculation. If we want to simulate it more accurately, it will probably take about a month.

As the man spoke, he moved the mouse to make the picture dive from space to the surface of the earth.

The vision swept across the vast desert, flew over a group of weird-shaped peaks, and then passed through a bottomless rift valley and a basin that looked like a crater.

"This is Earth?!" Yang Dong was a little shocked.

"If life had not been born, the earth today would be like this." The man replied.

"But, what about the ocean?"

"There's no ocean, no rivers, it's all dry."

"You mean, if there was no life, there would be no liquid water on the earth?" Yang Dong continued to ask.

"The real situation may be even more amazing than this. This is just a rough simulation, but at least it allows you to see how much impact life has on the earth's environment!"

With Yang Dong's current mental state, she had no intention of talking about or watching these things.

But just when the green glasses removed the life option from the mathematical model, she suddenly had a shocking thought.

Now, she could finally ask the most terrifying question.

"What about the universe?!"

"Universe? What's wrong with the universe?" the man who was closing the computing model asked in confusion.

"If there was a computational model to deduce the evolution of the entire universe, and the option of life was removed from the beginning like just now, what would the universe look like?!"

The man finally understood the doubts in Yang Dong's mind. He hesitated and said: "It should still be like this now. After all, the impact of life on the entire universe is limited, and in the universe, if there is life, it should be very small, and its impact on the evolution process can be ignored. Excluding."

Yang Dong wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

From the information on my mother's computer, we can see that life in the universe is not scarce. On the contrary, the universe is very crowded.

So, how much has the universe been changed by life? What level and depth has this change reached?!

The latter question particularly frightened her, and she suddenly realized an extremely terrifying truth——

Are the so-called truths of physics that she spent her whole life learning really the real physics in this universe?!

Then, the last question emerged in her mind: Is nature really natural?
