Chapter 1511: Ten Levels of Redemption
Soon, Richard learned about the next few puzzles.
In addition to the seeds that never go smoothly and lie dormant forever, Richard got in turn wooden boxes that could not be repaired, leaky cups, and bags with broken holes...... and a series of objects.
When Richard saw the last problem, he couldn't help but smile on his face, he was already sure what the true god's purpose was.
I saw that by a river, there were three slender silver pillars more than one meter high, there was nothing on the right and middle silver pillars, and on the left silver pillars were stacked densely packed with perforated gold plates. From the bottom to the top, the gold disc becomes smaller in turn, with the lowest disc being half a meter in diameter and the top disc being only the size of a palm.
What are the requirements?
It's as simple as moving the perforated gold disc on the left silver pillar to the silver pillar on the right.
However, there are three limitations to this process:
First, it is forbidden to use supernatural strength, and it is necessary to move by hand;
Second, you can only move one disc at a time;
Third, the large plate cannot be placed on top of the small plate.
Richard took one look and was sure that this was clearly the Tower of Hanoi game on Earth, with almost no changes.
The Tower of Hanoi game was invented by a French mathematician named Γdouard Lucas in the 19th century on Earth, and the solution is so simple that even a child can figure out how to do it.
However, there is a catch, and that is how much gold is on the silver pillar.
Because the number of gold discs has a lot to do with the number of steps required to complete it, if you describe it by a formula, it is s=(2^n)-1.
where s is the number of steps and n is the number of gold plates.
The number of steps completed will increase exponentially as the number of gold discs increases, which is inconspicuous at first, but when the number of gold discs reaches a certain number, it makes people feel hopeless.
For example, if there is only one disc and the formula is brought in, the number of moves is only 1, just move the disc from the left to the right.
If there are two gold plates, bring in the formula, the number of steps is 3, you need to first put the top small gold plate on the middle silver column, then put the lower big gold plate on the right silver column, and finally put the small gold plate on the right silver pillar to complete.
What if there are 10 plates? That's (2^10)-1=1023 steps.
What about twenty?(2^20)-1=1048575 steps.
What about thirty?(2^30)-1=1073741823 steps.
In the original problem of the earth, the number of gold disks is 64, that is, it needs to be carried out (2^64)-1 step. It is difficult for ordinary people to feel how big this number is, but if you convert it, you can understand that it takes nearly 600 billion years to move one step per second and complete (2^64)-1 step.
600 billion years!
So how many gold plates are on the silver pillar given by the true God? Richard glanced at it, and quickly got the answer, no more, no less, a full hundred.
One hundred.
Scold!
The purpose of the true god, if there is no accident, is to delay him with a series of such problems, and in order to prevent the first nine from being solved by him, the tenth directly took out the theoretically impossible Tower of Hanoi.
If it was someone else, he might have fallen into it, but he was Richard.
Knowing that there is such a big trap and jumping, then he can change his name.
So......
Richard looked at the golden parrot, thought for a moment, and commented with some sighs: "Are the ten puzzles interesting?" β
"Interesting? The golden parrot replied, urging, "Then you can now deal with them with your hands, regardless of the order, but they must all be completed, and they must be completed to be eligible to meet the true God." β
"That's it. Richard said without changing his face, "Then I'm done, and I can go to see the true God." β
"It's all done?, huh?" asked the golden parrot curiously.
"Look. With a wave of his hand, Richard put on the ground in front of him a bunch of things such as unsmooth feathers, eternal dormant seeds, wooden boxes that could not be repaired, leaky cups, broken bags, etc., instantly burst into flames on the surface, and the flames took on a bewitching purple red, just burning things into powder in an instant.
The silver strains and gold plates of the Tower of Hanoi were not spared, and the purple-red flames on the surface were the same, and in the blink of an eye, they melted into liquid and ceased to exist.
"You!" the golden parrot was startled at first, then cried out, "you are blasphemy, you are utterly blaspheming the goodwill that the true God has given you. You have ruined all the tests and problems that the true God has carefully set for you, and you will never be qualified to see the true God, and you will never see the true God. β
"Really?" said Richard to the golden parrot, "isn't there still you? With you, the pet and messenger who conveys the thoughts of the true God, I can't find out where the true God is?"
When the words fell, Richard took a shot at the golden parrot, and the golden parrot was instantly caught by an invisible force and fell into Richard's hands.
The golden parrot struggled violently, but it didn't have much fear, but said a little mockingly: "Isn't your plan to read my memory? Hmph, I know that you have the ability to crack the protection of memories by the power of the true god, and because of this, you can enter the kingdom of heaven." But I tell you, it all ends here, and the true God has set a new protection, or curse, for all beings in the kingdom of heaven.
When you try to crack it, the curse won't stop you, but it will instantly erase the memory. So, you can't get anything from me, all your thoughts, are expected by the true God!"
"Really?" Richard listened, his expression did not change, he glanced at the golden parrot and said lightly, "But why do I already get memories from you?"
"Huh?"
"Really. As I speak to you, I have read your memories and know where the true God is. Richard said.
"No, it can't be, you're lying!" the golden parrot shrieked.
"Am I lying? maybe. However, when I catch the true god behind you, you will know whether it is true or not, and I hope you will be there then. After Richard finished speaking, he smiled lightly, "Then there is a chance...... See you soon!"
As the words fell, Richard let go of his hand, allowing the golden parrot to escape from the restraints, and the whole body quickly faded and disappeared.
Only one bird was left in the golden parrot, which made the golden parrot a little flustered, flapped its wings, circled several times in mid-air, and screamed: "Blasphemous, where are you?
There was no response.
The golden parrot became even more flustered: "Blasphemer, you ...... Where the hell have ......you gone? You can't know where the true God is, it's impossible! The curse on my body hasn't been triggered, you can't get any news from my memory, it's impossible! You must lie to me, you must be lying!"
But there was still no response.
Slowly, the golden parrot's cry became smaller and smaller, becoming six gods and no owner, and after hovering for a few minutes, it finally couldn't help but fly high with a "boom", and its whole body turned into a golden light, flying rapidly towards the southwest.
As a result, it flew only a few hundred meters, and then "banged" into a cloud of viscous air, and then was enveloped.
The next moment, Richard appeared in mid-air next to him.
The golden parrot saw it, still insisting on its previous point of view, and said sharply: "You must not know where the true god is, you must be lying to me......"
"I really didn't know where the true God was. Richard nodded, looked into the distance and whispered to the golden parrot, "But now...... It's different, you've already told me with practical actions. β
"Squeak......" The golden parrot's cry stopped abruptly, and finally understood something.
Richard smiled lightly, didn't say anything, and with a wave of his hand, he directly put the golden parrot that had lost the power to resist into the portable space props, and the body disappeared again, quickly shuttling through the space and moving forward.
Is it southwest...... Although it can be found sooner or later by using the out-of-body method, it reduces the time consumed after all...... Let's see, what's up ahead......
As he shuttled, Richard thought.
......
