1250, The Fourth Natural Calamity (24)

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

"A special element, when energized, will form a mass effect field, which can arbitrarily change the mass of the matter in the field, this effect is the 'mass effect'," Marefia raised her hand and pointed to another planet in the galaxy: "If the Vortaum had not developed space technology and arrived on that planet because of the horns of the bull's horns in pursuit of the truth of the world, they would have discovered this substance." ”

Although Element Zero is ubiquitous, there is no need to throw out this advanced knowledge in the first place.

The butterfly deflected slightly, as if to confirm the state of the planet.

"There really is such a thing," he said in amazement, "and there are other things in this galaxy that I don't understand. 】”

"It's normal, even if you, as the 'Laplace Demon', know the existence of this substance, you can't know its properties without Wotaum studying them, and the properties deduced from the periodic table are completely wrong." Maryfia comforted casually.

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

But, just as Element Zero is to Laplace, unpredictable abrupt terrain or a cloud of impurities is enough to completely invalidate a large-scale weather prediction.

However, it is obvious that the butterfly in front of him is not dissatisfied with the unexpected situation, and even a little happy, so he should also want to avoid the end of the self-destruction of the Wotaums.

"[According to my deduction, the Vortaum race will stop after entering the discipline of 'quantum mechanics' and become completely extinct after a certain event," Butterfly said: "[Because that also means the 'end' of my 'group consciousness', it is impossible to deduce what exactly happened, at present, the probability of starting a war with each other because of the inability of technology to develop and eventually ending up together is 44%, and the probability of forcibly researching a dangerous technology that leads to the extinction of the race is 38%, The probability of decadence and decline due to the failure to break through the technological bottleneck is 15%, and other events are 2%]. ”

"So, what is the probability of thinking you're in a game and killing yourself en masse?" Marefia glanced at the planet.

[Approximately 0.05%...... What are they thinking! The butterfly flapped its wings angrily.

I'd love to know as well......

"Oh? Don't you doubt my words? Maryfia tilted her head slightly to look at the blue butterfly flapping its wings.

"[When the Vortaums came up with physical phenomena that they couldn't explain just to make things difficult for the other researchers, I had already deduced the eventual extinction of the entire race, and at this critical juncture, you and your ship suddenly appeared in planetary orbit, and I can only conclude that you came to save this stupid race that was about to go extinct - though I don't know what technology to use. Laplace's tone was grateful, with a hint of curiosity.

"Of course it's the 'Mass Effect,'" I tried to make Maraffia fool the butterfly, "and this effect can infinitely reduce the mass of matter, so that nature can increase the speed of affected matter infinitely, and the speed of matter moving faster than 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. Laplace said hesitantly.

"Even without any special means, it's easy to exceed the speed of light," Marefia continued, "What is the relative velocity of light particles emitted by a star in opposite directions at the same time?" ”

"[Double...... Velocity of light. "Butterflies are sluggish.

Well...... This is actually a kind of sophistry, beyond the speed of light can only be exceeded by absolute speed, but the Vortaums are obviously just getting started with quantum mechanics, and there should be no corresponding debunking techniques yet.

"Now let's not talk about the specific technology, I came here to stop this civilization from going astray, do you have any suggestions for this?" While Laplace was fooled and forgot about the principles and feasibility of time travel for a while, I took the opportunity to ask Maraffia to change the subject.

"[As the collective consciousness of Vortaum, of course, I don't want them to become extinct, but if they don't make any mistakes in their pursuit of the truth of the universe, I can't interfere with it,] Butterfly paused, "[It would be great if you could answer their questions. 】”

Those questions? If there is a correct answer to those strange questions, I want to know.

At this point, it's time to use some nonsense that sounds plausible to get things done.

"Leaving too advanced technology to civilizations that can't master them will only cause disaster," Marefia said solemnly, "For example, the 'time travel' technology I use strictly stipulates that I can only travel to the past, and absolutely not to the future, do you want to know why?" ”

"[Well, tell me about itβ€”no, I don't want to know!] The butterfly trembled.

See, He himself fooled himself and lame, and I didn't even think about why.

[Because if you jump backwards and find that this future is not satisfied and want to correct it, it is equivalent to directly destroying that world line.] The stupid system suddenly interjected an explanation.

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

[It's your words, it's true, but that's because of the relationship between the personalities, the parallel world caused by ordinary people is not qualified to be resident, for example, 'five minutes late to go out and didn't catch the car' was changed by him to "go out 5 minutes early and catch the car smoothly", this nuance is not possible to become a parallel world at all, so the former will be directly assimilated by the latter. 】

'Oh...... The key node of the world line branch, just like the stone gate, will not change significantly if it is less than 1%. ’

[Exactly.] 】

After arguing with the stupid system, I asked Marefia to continue talking to Laplace: "As for my plan of action, you can listen to it and deduce it, and implement it directly without any major problems. ”

"Uh, you say? 】”

"First of all, to prevent them from continuing to research those technologies that will lead to doubts about the nature of the world, to lock in the possibility of the continued development of related technologies, and then, to throw out another important technology that is enough to distract them for a long time, such as 'Mass Effect', and finally, to guide their eyes to the universe, in the case of the 'Galactic Alliance' many alien civilizations that need to communicate and cooperate, they will definitely not go to the tip of the bull's horns again."

β€œγ€β€¦β€¦ That's reasonable, I don't have an opinion. The butterfly flapped its wings and seemed to make some deductions, and finally hesitated to agree.

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