The Collection of The End

"[Mass Effect?]" Laplace Demon's tone sounded a little surprised.

"A special element will form a mass effect field after being energized, which can change the mass of the matter in the field at will. This effect is the 'mass effect'," Malefia raised her hand and pointed to another planet in the galaxy. : "If the Wataums hadn't gone into pursuit of the truth about the world, developed space technology and arrived at the planet, they would have discovered this substance."

Although element zero is actually everywhere, there is no need to throw out this advanced knowledge from the beginning.

The butterfly turned its body slightly, as if to confirm the status of the planet.

"[Such a thing really happens,]" He said in surprise: "[There are things in this galaxy that I don't understand.]"

"It's normal. Even if you, as a 'Laplace's Demon', know that such substances exist, you can't know its properties without Wortaum studying them. The properties deduced from the periodic table of elements are Totally wrong." Malefia comforted casually.

Laplace's Demon actually has a well-known super-weakened version, which is weather forecast. After knowing all the cloud dynamics and local temperature and wind strength, it can be inferred that the local weather in the next 24 hours is quite accurate, and if If you can accurately grasp the state of every water molecule, then the weather forecast will never be wrong.

However, just like Element Zero to Laplace's Demon, those unpredictable sudden terrain changes or a cloud with special impurities are enough to completely invalidate large-scale weather predictions.

However, it is obvious that the butterfly in front of him is not dissatisfied with the unexpected situation, and is even a little happy. It probably wants to avoid the end of the Wataums all committing suicide.

"[According to my deduction, the Wortaum race will stop after entering the subject of 'quantum mechanics' and become completely extinct after a certain event," Butterfly said: "[Because that also means that I' The 'end' of group consciousness, so it is impossible to deduce what exactly happened. At present, the possibility of going to war with each other and eventually dying together because technology cannot develop is 44%, and the possibility of forcibly researching some dangerous technology leading to the extinction of the group is 38% %, the possibility of decadence and decline due to the inability to break through the technological bottleneck is 15%, and other events are 2%].”

"So, what are the chances of thinking that you are in a game and destroying yourself collectively?" Malefia glanced at the planet.

"[About 0.05%...what are they thinking!]" The butterfly flapped its wings angrily.

I also want to know...

"Oh? Didn't you doubt my words?" Malefia turned her head slightly and looked at the blue light butterfly that kept flapping its wings.

"[When the Woltaums created physical phenomena that they couldn't explain just to make things difficult for other researchers, I had already deduced the eventual extinction of the entire group. And at this critical juncture, you and your ship suddenly Appearing on the planet's orbit, I can only conclude that you are here to save this stupid race that is about to become extinct - although I don't know what technology you use.]" The Laplace Demon's tone was filled with gratitude and curiosity. .

"Of course it's the 'mass effect'," I tried to let Malefia fool the butterfly: "This effect can infinitely reduce the mass of matter, so naturally the speed of the affected matter can be infinitely increased, and the movement speed of matter exceeds The speed of light is the basis of time travel technology."

"[Time travel? This... I can't exceed the speed of light, so I can't evaluate it.]" Laplace Demon said hesitantly.

"Even without any special means, it is very simple to exceed the speed of light," Malefia continued to fool: "A star emits light particles in opposite directions at the same time. What is the relative speed between them?"

"[Two times... the speed of light.]" Butterfly was stunned.

Hmm... This is actually a sophistry. To exceed the speed of light, only the absolute speed can exceed it. However, the Wataums are obviously just getting started with quantum mechanics, and there should be no corresponding debugging techniques yet.

"Let's not talk about the specific technology now. I am here to prevent this civilization from going astray. Do you have any suggestions for this?" While the Laplace demon was deceived and temporarily forgot the principles and feasibility of time travel, I Take the opportunity to let Malefia change the subject.

"[As the collective consciousness of Wataum, I certainly don't want them to become extinct, but if they don't make any mistakes in pursuing the truth of the universe, I can't interfere,]" Butterfly paused: "[If It would be great if you could answer their questions.】"

Those questions? If there are correct answers to those weird questions, I'd like to know.

At this time, it is necessary to use some nonsense that sounds reasonable to round things off.

"Giving too advanced technologies to civilizations that cannot master them will only cause disaster," Malefia said solemnly: "For example, the 'time travel' technology I use is strictly stipulated that it can only go to the past, and absolutely cannot Go to the future, do you want to know why?”

"[This, please tell me - no, I don't want to know!]" Butterfly trembled.

Look, He deceived Himself into lameness, and I obviously didn’t even think about why.

[Because if you jump back and find that you are not satisfied with this future and want to correct it, it will be equivalent to directly destroying that world line. 】The stupid system suddenly interrupted to explain.

'Hello? Are you serious? Wouldn't this just create one more parallel world? ’

[If it’s you, it’s true, but that’s because of personality. Parallel worlds caused by ordinary people are not qualified to be permanent. For example, ‘leaving out five minutes late and missing the bus’ was changed by him to ‘leaving out five minutes early’ Minutes to catch the car smoothly." This subtle difference has no possibility of becoming a parallel world, so the former will be directly assimilated by the latter. 】

‘Oh... the key nodes of the world line branch, just like the Stone Gate, if less than 1%, there will be no significant changes. ’

【exactly. 】

After a few words with the stupid system, I asked Malefia to continue talking to the Laplace demon: "As for my action plan, you can listen to it and deduce it. If there is no big problem, just implement it."

"[Uh, you said?]"

"First, stop them from continuing to study technologies that will lead to doubts about the nature of the world, lock in the possibility of continued development of related technologies, and then throw out another important technology that can distract them for a long time, such as 'Mass Effect', and finally , directing their gaze to the universe. When there are many alien civilizations in the 'Galaxy Alliance' that need to communicate and cooperate, they will definitely not go for the wrong end."

"[...This is very reasonable, I have no objection.]" Butterfly flapped its wings, seemed to have conducted some deductions, and finally agreed hesitantly.

[The name of the non-existent organization ‘Galactic Alliance’ is really useful. 】
