Chapter 7 · "Quantum Entanglement."

There is a concept in science called "quantum entanglement".

When a pair of particles rotating in an orbit reaches a state of dynamic equilibrium, even if they are far apart, as long as any one party rotates one more turn to the left, the other party will inevitably rotate one turn to the right to maintain this " dynamic equilibrium".

Using this principle, people can easily transmit information without distance or time difference - if a particle cannot be observed temporarily, people can infer the state of another particle through a known particle.

Grid time is similar to this principle. It is not a linear time "from front to back", but three three-dimensional time lines that have reached a dynamic balance, becoming a superimposed grid of three dimensions stacked on two dimensions, and two dimensions stacked on one dimension. Any change in one dimension will affect the data in the other dimension. In this way, using the [two-dimensional] world that can be infinitely reset, the system can correspondingly derive the [one-dimensional] firewall password based on the [two-dimensional] infinite calculation.

[Two-dimensional] is equivalent to the particle that can be observed, and [One-dimensional] is equivalent to the particle that cannot be observed.

After the world is "dimensionally reduced" into a digitalized world, the only defense humans can do is to stack firewalls with data. "Dimensionality reduction" is equivalent to everyone hiding in a computer. As an intruder to plunder the "source of civilization", [he dimension] must find the power-on password.

By continuously introducing variables in [two dimensions], the variance is reduced - that is, a password that makes [one dimension] stronger can be calculated.

This is the principle of the "Dawn System".

Akto made full use of this principle, and combined with his extremely high wisdom at the top of mankind, he built a defense barrier between three dimensions, allowing human civilization to continue for a full 102 years, and may continue to continue. .

"..." Su Mingan stood there.

His heart was still filled with shock.

He thought that time in the ninth world was linear, but it turned out to be grid-like. He thought that War of the Dawn was a return to the past like Dome, but it turned out to be a three-dimensional, two-dimensional, one-dimensional matryoshka doll. He once thought that "Kaiusta" was just another historical closed loop. He played the same routine twice in the game dungeons, but it turned out that they were completely different in nature.

When everyone thinks that the world is in the first layer, it is actually in the atmosphere.

Time is within space, space is within time, and dimensions overlap with time and space. Things are surprisingly complicated...

"..."

He frowned, but Lin Guang was still looking at him.

The wind and snow fell on Lin Guang's white hair, almost blending into the hair. When looking at Su Ming'an, his expression sometimes seemed confused and clear, as if all the filth had faded away.

"The program will not know that it is a program." Lin Guang said: "But don't be sad, I don't think you are a program. You are a unique existence in this repeated simulation. You are a good person."

Su Mingan was stunned for a moment before realizing what Lin Guang was comforting.

Lin Guang thought that Su Ming'an was still devastated by the question of "am I a program?" In fact, Su Ming'an's thoughts had already flown eight feet away to the task of being in power.

Su Mingan only doubted himself for a moment as to whether he was a program. For him, everything he has experienced so far is the product of self-thinking, and he does not regret his choices, so this view is not worth hesitating.

His personal needs have been squeezed to the lowest level. Except for "perfect clearance", other problems can no longer affect him. If you play this game with a high degree of sensibility and take yourself too seriously, it will be difficult for a person to persist to the end. .

Only by seeing himself as a "consumable" or a "program" that can pass the level perfectly can he maintain the most perfect gaming mentality. Otherwise, he would not be able to withstand the more than forty deaths that have occurred, or even face the future. Hundreds of possible deaths.

...put it this way.

Lin Guang was actually right.

If the criterion for determining whether a person is a program is "his personal judgment of whether he is a program," he himself has already regarded himself as a "program." It is said that it is a program that can be passed perfectly, so there is no problem.

...It's a bit sad to think this way.

But he doesn’t even have room to be “pathetic for himself”.

"Forget it." Su Mingan said, "I'd rather be a program."

He will not be tired, despair, or fall into madness. He will always be in the best condition. Maybe he will be much more relaxed than he is now.

Su Mingan thought a lot about the reasons why he insists on completing the level perfectly. Maybe it is because of the influence of family environment, maybe it is the sense of responsibility of being selected, maybe it is because he does not want to die again after the human race loses. He finally chose this thorny path.

But what kept him going through these four months was more of pure emotion.

Obsession.

——You want to save mankind at any cost.

——The world situation is becoming more and more critical, and you are the one with the greatest possibility.

——Lin Jiang, Iris, Mo Wen, Luna, Lu Shu, Lu, Nuoer, Yamada Machichi, Yueyue... So many people have placed their responsibilities on you, and a billion people around the world are watching you. .

——Edward, Sora Mizushima, Andre, Bonnie...there are so many people with evil intentions waiting for your failure.

——And, there are still many beautiful things in this world, and you can’t leave them alone.

There was no way out for him.

He was forced to the edge of a cliff, and one wrong step would lead to an abyss.

"——Lovis, don't be sad."

Lin Guang's voice suddenly came: "Violet read a poem to me, and I thought it was very suitable to describe you, so I specially learned the Chinese character Long Guo and wrote it on the Luozi. I will give it to you..."

Through more than two meters of wind and snow, Su Mingan saw the red light of the nuclear explosion console flashing and the countdown decreasing.

"Since your heart is for humanity, stop nuclear explosions." Su Ming'an didn't care what Lin Guang wrote.

Lin Guang should have no reason to launch a nuclear explosion.

With players like them entering, this simulation was very successful. Su Mingan even collected a large number of "sources" to help Liming System fill the database.

Moreover, even if Lin Guang launches a nuclear explosion, this simulation will still continue for more than 20 years. It will not be reset to Cataclysm Year 2 until Cataclysm Year 72. The world will not be reset just because of a nuclear explosion. .

This nuclear explosion has no meaning except that it will kill most people.

"I don't." Lin Guang refused.

Su Mingan frowned.

"It's almost time." Lin Guang raised his head: "The countdown to the nuclear explosion is almost over."

He told these truths just to delay Su Mingan.

He looked at the heavy snow in the sky. It was almost early in the morning, and the fireworks in the distance were getting brighter and brighter. When an inconspicuous little fire burst in mid-air, what followed was a dazzling light and a loud roar, like several large golden umbrellas spinning in the air.

Fluttering, gathering, spreading, exploding...the golden fireworks tails are like flying butterflies, gradually disappearing in the night sky.

The halo penetrated the wind and snow, reflected on the edge of the scarlet console, and reflected on the countdown numbers, flowing like blood.

"Tick tock", "tick tock".

[Countdown: 31 seconds].

There are still thirty-one seconds left before this land is reduced to rubble.

Su Mingan's current physical condition is not good enough to fight. He just stood there, as if he had no intention of stopping the nuclear explosion.

"Luvis, I want to tell you something." Lin Guang's eyes lit up, and he realized that Luvis finally had no intention of stopping him. He spoke faster: "Although at the beginning, it was you who had black hair and gray eyes. The appearance attracted me, but later, I gradually discovered that it was you who attracted me. You are different from other people. You are perseverant, resolute, and decisive. You also have your own world. You are a good person. I like good people.

His eyes were very bright:

"I'm sorry for my behavior that hurt you before...so, when those people disappear, I will not hurt you again..."

Lin Guang's voice stopped abruptly.

A sword blade pierced his seriously injured body from back to front.

The scarlet light hit the sword body, mixed with the blood seeping from the wet black robe, and fell downwards.

The clone Ming walked out of the shadows, the Arman sword in his hand flashing with cold light. The security system taken over by AI Yaya did not reveal his entry into the city.

Lin Guang was never a person who liked to talk nonsense. He talked to stall Su Mingan.

The same goes for Su Mingan.

As early as nine o'clock in the evening, when preparing for action, Su Mingan remotely called Ming, who was collecting clues outside, to wait for the final battle-until it ended at this moment. At the last moment, Ming successfully arrived.

"Didi", "didi", the halo of aviation obstruction lights flashes in a streamlined manner.

Lin Guang took a step forward, and his left foot pierced into the thick snow blanket with a pop, his face as pale as paper.

He stared blankly at the sword blade emerging from his chest.

Su Mingan immediately stretched out his hand, a red light flashed, the interface of the watch was aligned with the authentication interface, and the image of AI Yeya stood up instantly. The countdown on the panel stopped at [03 seconds].

Su Mingan clicked on the operation interface and canceled the nuclear explosion. Complex data flashed on the panel. This was a long process.

Ming drew out his sword, and Lin Guang fell down coughing blood.

"The main body, I don't think he is not Lu Shu." Ming said.

Both Lin Guang's appearance and his ability to control animals are too suspicious. Lin Guang's personal words cannot prove that he is not Lu Shu.

"alright."

Su Mingan interrupted him and stared at the operation interface: "It's not important anymore."

What determines a person is his temperament and experience, not a name.

"But I don't want you to reach this point. Your encounter was even earlier than my birth. You need a psychological anchor. If he is killed by your own hands, then you..." Ming wanted to say a few more words. .

"He is Lin Guang." Su Mingan raised his eyes and looked at Ming: "Lu Shu probably didn't enter the tower, or was hidden somewhere."

Ming lowered his eyelids.

Su Mingan lowered his head and continued to operate the control interface. Suddenly he heard movement from the other side of the building. He looked up and saw Tredia, who was pierced by countless scarlet hoses. She was like an insect caught in a spider web. , the hose penetrated her limbs and lifted her high, her long beige hair fluttering in the wind and snow.

Lin Guang lay on the snow and propped himself up unsteadily. Ming's sword spared his life in order to find out the remaining secrets.

Half of his body was still covered in charred and rolled flesh, and the bleeding blood almost dyed his whole body red. He has begun to lose his senses, which is a precursor to death.

Ming's sword completely pierced all his illusions... It turned out that Luvis didn't want to talk to him from the beginning to the end. He keeps talking to himself like a clown and then gets stabbed with a sword.

He stepped back through the heavy snow, blood spilling all the way.

As he backed away, the hose lowered Tredia, pulling away from her body bit by bit. Every time Lin Guang takes a step back, part of the hose will move away.

——Lin Guang is conducting a hostage exchange.

If you want Tredia to live, you must let Linguang go.

Su Ming watched this scene quietly. The main console was seizing control of the City of God under the control of AI Yeya.

[Capture progress:: 18,000 points. 】

[Capture progress: 18100 points. 】

【……】

"Didi", "Didi".

The bright red numbers kept beating.

"Teacher, we can't let him go. We can't let more people die." Tredia endured the pain, her whole body was covered with penetrating wounds: "Don't worry about me..."

Lin Guang was also staring at Su Ming'an, as if he had been betrayed. In the end, he actually needed this method of exchanging hostages to find a way out.

It is impossible for Luvis not to care about Tredia's life. After he leaves the City of God safely, he must...

"Poof" suddenly, there was a soft sound.

A scarlet scale fell from the sky and accurately landed on Lin Guang's head. This is the judgment skill.

"Kill him." Su Mingan said.

The clone Ming's figure flashed past, his sword pointed forward and stabbed Lin Guang's chest!

Neither Lin Guang nor Tredia expected that Su Mingan would actually take action.

In an instant, the hose penetrated deeply and pierced Tredia's body, almost turning her slender figure into a hedgehog, and blood spurted out from a large area.

At the same time, Ming's sword blade pierced Lin Guang's chest, hanging him almost on the edge of the rooftop.

Both sides stopped at the same time.

It was as if the ice and snow had frozen time, and everyone stopped at this moment.
