At the foot of the mountain in Baiyang Village, in a hut.

"When will the book of "Imposter Traverser" be completed?" Tang Xiaosheng asked.

Tang Xiaosheng, who was sitting opposite, replied: "I am here today to say my final goodbye to you, and the novel will be over in two or three days." ”

"Two or three days?" Tang Xiaosheng sank and said, "In this way, there will basically be no more unexpected plots?" ”

"Of course." Tang Xiaosheng affirmed.

"Now that I'm going to finish the book, I have a question." Tang Xiaosheng slowed down and said, "Do you think I may be able to travel from the 'No. 0 Earth Time and Space' to the 'X Earth Time and Space' where you are?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng frowned slightly: "Do you want to go to 'X Earth Time and Space'?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng explained: "Although I am now the creator god of the entire multiverse, controlling the order of hundreds of millions of time and space, the 'X Earth space-time' is obviously not part of the multiverse under my jurisdiction. After the destruction of the entire multiverse, the 'X Earth space-time' still exists, and it has not been affected at all, so it can be seen that the 'X Earth space-time' you are in and the multiverse I am in are not the same world. I am the main god of this multiverse, but I still can't touch the 'X Earth space-time', which is the so-called 'there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky'. Beyond the multiverse, there are other worlds. ”

Tang Xiaosheng nodded: "You're right, the world you live in is a multiverse, containing hundreds of millions of time and space, but there is not only one multiverse. In this world, there may be an infinite number of multiverses. It is the 'multiverse of diversity'. ”

Tang Xiaosheng added: "This is actually infinitely deducible, and the 'pluralistic multiverse' may also not be the whole picture of the world, and there may be countless 'pluralistic multiverses' in the world, that is, 'pluralistic multiverses'." This is a logic that can be nested infinitely, and there may still be 'pluralism in the world' in the pluralism of pluralism of pluralism and pluralism of pluralism and pluralism of pluralism...... Universe'. The multiverse I'm in right now may be just the tip of the iceberg of the entire world, not even the tip of the iceberg. ”

Looking at Tang Xiaosheng, Tang Xiaosheng asked, "So, where is the end of the world?" How big is it? What is the nature of the world? Why does it exist? ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "This is a very good question. But there may never be an answer. As you just said, 'There are people outside of men, and there are heavens outside of heaven', no matter how big the heavens are. But beyond this sky. There may still be days. Maybe you can't find it yet. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We can't know what we don't know, and we can never know the world we haven't discovered yet. ”

"Under normal logic. Your argument is true, but perhaps 'hyperlogic' can change all that. Tang Xiaosheng analyzed, "In the field of 'hyperlogical', 'being' and 'non-existence' are actually synonyms, similarly, 'knowing' and 'not knowing' are also synonyms, they are inseparable. Perhaps by using the 'hyperlogical' approach, we can know what we don't know. We don't know anything about something, but we know it all at our fingertips. I don't know what kind of world it is, but I know it well. ”

Tang Xiaosheng reminded: "There seems to be nothing wrong in theory, but the actual operation is extremely complex, and the biggest difficulty in applying the 'superlogical' theory to practice is that it does not have the right tools." Now there is only one 'hyperlogical' tool in the whole world, and it is the Moonlight Treasure Box, and there is no second 'hyperlogical' tool that can be found. If there is no 'hyperlogical' tool, then the theory of 'hyperlogical' is difficult to practice, which is the same as 'it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice'. ”

Tang Xiaosheng nodded: "You're right, this is the most headache in front of me." For hundreds of years, I've been trying to invent 'hyperlogical' tools, but unfortunately, I've only been able to develop a Moonlight Treasure Box so far. The 'hyperlogical' tool is far more complex than I ever imagined, because it touches on things I don't know about, and I need to create things that I don't know at all. I need to create something I don't even know about, and that's where creating a 'hyperlogical' tool is the hardest part. ”

Tang Xiaosheng concluded, "What you said about 'creating something you don't know at all' can be summed up in three words - [imagination]. ”

Tang Xiaosheng agreed: "Yes, to put it simply, it is [imagination]. Any logic or knowledge can only explain the world as we know it, and only imagination can penetrate all limitations, all rules, and all obstacles, and reach places that we would otherwise be unable to reach. Unbridled imagination is the most important condition for the creation of 'hyperlogical' tools, and it is more important than all knowledge. Without imagination, we cannot transcend the existing constraints and reach the unknown. ”

Tang Xiaosheng added: "Unfortunately, [imagination] is also the most difficult, it does not rely on precise skills to achieve, but needs to enter the state of self-forgetfulness and superego, and when you empty your mind, you can really open up the space of imagination." There is no doubt that this is too difficult because human beings are too dependent on their own experience. More importantly, in the eyes of most human beings, imagination is irrelevant, it does not bring wealth, power, honor, but is easily ridiculed by others. 'Visionary' is not a good word. ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "What you said is true, but this is the stage that the development of human civilization will inevitably go through. Human beings currently have to rely on their own knowledge and skills in order to live and survive, and they rely more on doing things with the experience they know, and imagination seems irrelevant. However, if one day human beings regard [imagination] as a discipline and put its importance in front of knowledge, then mankind will enter a new era, a great era with dreamy exploration, which I believe will be the most glorious stroke in the history of human civilization. ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "It's a pity that the 'X Earth space-time' I am in is only in 2014. Scientific and technological civilization is still in its infancy, material civilization is also in the stage of subsistence and clothing, and there are still many people like me who rely on moving bricks to have living expenses. Under such historical conditions, it is obviously impossible to enter the era of the supremacy of imagination as you call it, and it is still an era of poverty of imagination. I don't think it would have been possible for Earth X's space-time to enter the [Imagination] era without three to five hundred years. ”

Tang Xiaosheng rejoiced: "In this regard, I am much luckier than you. As the main god of 'Earth Space-Time 0', I will officially open the era of [imagination], and let mankind all over the world enter the dream era of weaving the world with imagination. ”

Tang Xiaosheng was curious: "What are you going to do?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "I am ready to promote the development of the 'writing novels' industry throughout the multiverse, and regard 'writing novels' as the most important cause in the universe." Let people from all over the world write novels. In my opinion. The best thing to do is to write a novel. In the world of fiction, the author can let his thoughts spread at will, infinitely. Let the imagination enter uncharted territory. This is the most fascinating part of writing a novel. ”

There was a pause. Tang Xiaosheng continued, "By writing novels, the [imagination] of human beings is constantly improving. When imagination is at its peak, it may be possible to find a way to create 'hyperlogical' tools. At that time, I may be able to leave the 'Earth Space 0' and enter the Earth Space X where you are. So don't be surprised if one day you suddenly meet me or Rong'er on Earth X. ”

Tang Xiaosheng smiled and said, "I hope this day will really come." ”

"It will definitely come, nothing is impossible in this world, as long as there is enough imagination, I believe that sooner or later we will be able to find a way to enter the 'X Earth space-time'." Tang Xiaosheng paused for a moment, then asked, "What are your plans?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng's face was calm: "I'm going to write another novel." ”

Tang Xiaosheng asked, "You haven't recovered from depression?" ”

"No, my depression is almost cured." Tang Xiaosheng explained, "The reason why I am ready to continue writing novels is that I want to be the first to enter the era of [imagination]. I'm not like you to be immortal, I can't wait three to five hundred years. ”

Tang Xiaosheng reminded: "Writing novels requires imagination, and to have unbridled imagination, certain conditions are required. A person who rushes for a livelihood every day will inevitably be distracted by livelihood problems, and such a person cannot have a rich imagination. Only those who are well fed and supported can not worry about their livelihood, can they put all their energy into the world of imagination, and can easily have a rich imagination. Looking at Tang Xiaosheng, "A brick movers, like you, are thinking about how many bricks to move today and how much money they can earn every day, and what they think about is always inseparable from bricks, and their imagination must be very barren, which is very unfavorable to the creation of novels." ”

"You're right, moving bricks every day does have a negative impact on the imagination." Tang Xiaosheng said, "Therefore, I decided to quit the brick moving job, quit the brick moving industry, and then put all my energy into the novel and start a full-time writing life." ”

"Full-time writing?" Tang Xiaosheng said, "What if the novel hits the street?" Don't forget, the money you earned from spending two years writing "Imposter Traverser" wasn't enough to pay the rent. ”

Tang Xiaosheng had already prepared: "If the new book hits the street again, it's a big deal to move bricks again, anyway, there are hands and feet, and people can't die of hunger." ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "Since you have decided, I won't say anything." However, when resigning on the construction site, remember to get together with the contractor and don't make the relationship too stiff. The probability that your next book will hit the street is quite high, and if the living expenses are not enough, you will have to go back to the construction site to move bricks, and you have to leave a way back for yourself. ”

Tang Xiaosheng nodded.

Tang Xiaosheng remembered something, and asked casually: "Is the new book ready?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "In preparation, I have written a 30,000-word outline, and the framework of the novel has basically been built. ”

Tang Xiaosheng confessed: "The 30,000-word outline is too little, and we must continue to improve it, and it is safer to get at least a 300,000-word outline." In fact, the more detailed the outline, the easier it is to restrain the imagination, and super-first-class writers should not let the outline shackle their imagination. However, an imaginative bricklayer like you needs a detailed outline, otherwise what will be written will be miserable. ”

When talking about this, Tang Xiaosheng flipped his right hand, and with a whoosh, a thick book appeared out of thin air in his palm. The cover of the book is golden, with a golden glow.

"You can read this book, it will help you write a novel." Tang Xiaosheng put the golden book on the table in front of Tang Xiaosheng.

Tang Xiaosheng stared for a moment, and when he looked at it, he saw six big red characters written on the golden cover of the book - "Novel Creation Treasure Book"!

"The Book of Fiction Creation?"

Tang Xiaosheng was stunned for a moment, and asked strangely, "What is this?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng explained: "Didn't I set up a research project on novel writing? There are hundreds of thousands of novel experts who are studying the techniques and principles of novel creation, and this "Novel Creation Book" is the result of the research of these experts, which embodies the efforts of hundreds of thousands of people, and is the dream book of writers engaged in novel creation. If you can integrate the principles in this "Novel Creation Book". Then you must be able to earn more than a contractor on a construction site for writing novels. Now that you've decided you want to write full-time. Then take a moment to study this "Novel Creation Book". ”

Tang Xiaosheng looked at the "Novel Creation Book" on the table, and said: "It's useless, no matter how clever this "Novel Creation Book" is, it can't help me." I'm dreaming right now. In my dreams, I learned the knowledge of "The Book of Novel Writing" very well. After I woke up from my dream. All this knowledge will still be forgotten and will not be remembered at all. ”

Tang Xiaosheng reminded: "Although I can't remember it, this knowledge is already hidden in your subconscious. Once there is a suitable opportunity. Your subconscious mind may emerge and become your memory, and then you will be like an initiation, with thoughts flowing and writing. ”

Tang Xiaosheng thought for a while and said, "You're right to say that. ”

After speaking, I picked up the "Novel Creation Book", opened the book, and began to read.

After reading a few pages, Tang Xiaosheng felt the breadth and profundity of the book "Novel Creation Manual", which is not simply an introduction to the skills or principles of novel creation, but a comprehensive analysis of the novel from the perspectives of physics, mathematics, aesthetics, musicology, logic, psychology, physiology and other disciplines, like dissecting the corpse and body.

In the process of reading, Tang Xiaosheng felt as if he was peeling an onion, peeling layer after layer, and he was approaching the essence of novel creation little by little.

In particular, when he saw the analysis of the aesthetic principles of the novel from the perspective of system theory in the book, Tang Xiaosheng was amazed.

was looking at the book, at this time, a petite figure ran into the hut, it was Xiao Huang Rong, she was holding a large plate in her two small hands, twenty river crabs on the left hand, and twenty lobsters on the right hand.

After entering the house, Xiao Huang Rong put the river crab and lobster in front of Tang Xiaosheng, and in a moment, the rich aroma of meat wafted all over the hut.

Putting down the book, Tang Xiaosheng looked at the two delicacies on the table and said, "Rong'er, your speed is really fast, the river crab and lobster are baked so quickly." ”

Xiao Huang Rong grinned and said childishly: "Mars, you hurry up and taste it." ”

"Okay." Tang Xiaosheng stretched out his right hand, picked up a roasted red lobster from the plate, peeled off the shrimp shell, opened his mouth to bite a large piece of shrimp meat, and after chewing it twice, it was full of fragrant fragrance, which made people feel a sense of fluttering.

"Mars, is it delicious?" Xiao Huang Rong asked with big eyes.

After swallowing a bite of shrimp meat, Tang Xiaosheng praised: "Rong'er, your cooking skills seem to have improved again, and the shrimp meat grilled today is better than the shrimp meat last time in the '13th Earth Time and Space'." ”

Xiao Huang Rong's face showed joy and said, "Today, these lobsters are roasted with Xiao Yan's different fire." ”

Tang Xiaosheng suddenly realized and said: "The strange fire is really a good thing, and it is indeed too suitable to use it to bake things and eat." With that, he reached out and grabbed another lobster and continued to eat.

Tang Xiaosheng had just finished moving bricks from the construction site, and he was already so hungry that his chest was close to his back, and now that a plate of grilled lobster was placed in front of him, he was naturally gobbling it up. In a few moments, he ate seven lobsters.

Seeing that Tang Xiaosheng ate so quickly, Xiao Huang Rong also took the initiative to help peel the shrimp shells, and the little girl was ingenious and peeled all the lobster shells at once.

After Xiao Huang Rong finished peeling the shrimp shell, Tang Xiaosheng suddenly stood up and said, "Okay, Rong'er, it's time for us to go back to Guangmingding." ”

Xiao Huang Rong bent her eyebrows and asked, "Daddy, aren't we going to stay with Mars?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng explained: "Mars wants to concentrate on studying the "Novel Creation Book", let's not disturb him. ”

"Oh." Xiao Huang Rong suddenly realized and jumped off the chair. said to Tang Xiaosheng, "Mars, you eat slowly, my father and I will go back to Guangming first." ”

Tang Xiaosheng wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth and nodded.

"Bye-bye."

Xiao Huang Rong waved her little hand, and then left the house with Tang Xiaosheng and walked in the direction of Guangming Ding.

……

Halfway through.

"Daddy, what is the 'X Earth space-time' where Mars lives?" At this time, Xiao Huang Rong asked curiously.

Tang Xiaosheng said: "'X Earth Time and Space' and 'No. 0 Earth Time and Space' are quite similar. ”

Xiao Huang Rong asked: "Can we travel to the 'X Earth Time and Space'?" ”

"Not at the moment, but in the future." Tang Xiaosheng explained. "Daddy is going to make a plan dedicated to how to get to Earth's space-time X. One day in the future, we will be able to know the way to enter the 'X-Earth space-time'. ”

Xiao Huang Rong's eyes lit up, and she said expectantly: "Daddy, has this plan started?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "It will start tomorrow." But. Before you begin. Daddy had to give the project a name. Rong'er, do you think it's a good name for this project? ”

Xiao Huang Rong's eyes rolled, and after a moment. said: "Daddy, it's called the 'Finding Mars' program. ”

Tang Xiaosheng smiled and clapped his hand: "Okay, it's called the Mars Search Program." ”

"Hee-hee."

……

After returning to the Bright Peak, Xiao Huang Rong went to bed early.

The next day, Xiao Huang Rong went to the house at the foot of the mountain in Baiyang Village again, wanting to bring food to Tang Xiaosheng. As a result, he found that Tang Xiaosheng was no longer in the house, and the river crabs and lobsters on the table in the room had been eaten, and in addition, there was a book on the table, the title of which was "The Book of Novel Creation".

Xiao Huang Rong looked around near the foot of the mountain, but did not find Tang Xiaosheng's figure, and it was only then that Xiao Huang Rong realized that Tang Xiaosheng should have returned to the "X Earth Time and Space".

At the same time, Tang Xiaosheng, the creator god of the universe, held a god-level meeting in the Chrono Building, where the moon goddess Tang Yue, the goddess of time Yang Ziwen, the space goddess Chen Yameng, and the gods of time and space attended the meeting at the same time.

At the conference, Tang Xiaosheng delivered an important speech and launched a huge plan for the entire multiverse, called "Finding Mars".

The goal of this project is to explore ways to get to the "Earth X plane".

Today in 2114, under the leadership of Tang Xiaosheng, the scientific and technological civilization of mankind has reached its peak, and the exploration of energy and rules by human beings has also reached its peak.

From this moment on, mankind has entered a new era of exploration of time and space - [imagination].

Because only imagination can penetrate all constraints, achieve self-transcendence of human limits, and thus enter unprecedented realms.

Imagination has become the most important tool for human beings to explore the world, and under such historical conditions, there is one profession that has become the most popular profession in the entire multiverse, and it is the creation of novels.

Whether it is a human being in the earth's time and space, or an immortal in the Xianxia space, whether it is a powerhouse in another world or a magician in the magic space, they all coincidentally chose the same profession - writing novels.

In their view, fiction is a science of imagination, and it will become the strongest weapon for human exploration of the unknown.

As a result, in various planes and planes throughout the multiverse, countless people with dreams of exploring the ultimate truth of the world can be seen using their imagination to create novels, and all kinds of imaginative novels have emerged in large numbers, which is dazzling and breathtaking.

When a batch of imaginative novels comes out, mankind is also approaching the unknown and mysterious world step by step.

However, everyone understands that this path of exploration must be unusually long, and even never-ending.

Because imagination is infinite, so the world is equally infinite......
