If you are constantly exposed to things that are beyond common sense, your ability to accept them will be greatly improved. In the recent period, Yu Qian thinks that he has been exposed to enough bizarre things. But when he followed Ren Yuan's finger and looked over, he couldn't help but let out an incomprehensible exclamation.

"If I'm not mistaken... You're pointing me to the moon? Yu Qian looked at the huge moon hanging high in the sky and asked tentatively, "I don't see anything else, anything special..."

"Yes, it's the moon." Ren Yuan nodded and said, "Hold the steering wheel steady, old fish, if it's not the time to be in a daze, you won't be afraid of overturning." Or did you practice the body of a false god behind my back? ”

"You're kidding, aren't you? Do you want to tell me that the moon that has been hanging in the sky for billions of years is actually the independent world of the Moon Lord in your mouth? And how many years did he live..."

"Of course the moon is the moon, how can it be the independent world of some alien." Ren Yuan said with a smile: "But the moon in S City is really the independent world of the Moon Lord. ”

"I don't understand, you mean to say that the moon in S City is not the moon?"

"Well, that's understandable, but that's not what it means." Ren Yuan paused and said, "In this way, let me ask you, what is the moon in your opinion?" ”

"Earth's satellites, one-sixth the weight of the Earth, have existed for 4.5 billion years. What else could it be? Yu Qian asked

"Haha, that's right. The moon, that's what it is. But that's where I ask you. Ren Yuan said with a mysterious face, "How do you know, how heavy the moon is, is it really revolving around the earth?" ”

"Anyone who has been to school knows this, right? Even if you haven't studied astronomy, it's not particularly difficult to understand it by observation and reasoning, right? Yu Qian said with a calm face, "Besides, what age is this, even people with machines have landed on the moon several times." What appears in the night sky every night can't be a giant chandelier hung in the sky by various countries, right? ”

"But you weren't the one who landed on the moon, were you? You're just passively being indoctrinated with knowledge, aren't you? If you put aside all the established knowledge and just look at it from the perspective of an observer, what is the moon? "Ren Yuandao" is just a luminous body shining in the night sky, isn't it? ”

"But I know what the moon looks like."

"OKOK, then good, now we stand on the ground and look up at the moon... I said, old fish, don't look at it and drive well, I'm just making an analogy..."Ren Yuan reminded as he looked at the wheels that were almost on the curb

"Ahem, the observation of the moon, you just know that it is a moon that revolves around the earth, and it looks small because of its distance. As for the specifics, how far away, what the laws of motion, you can't instantly determine by visual inspection, am I right? ”

"This is natural, I have this ability, isn't it good to be an astronomer..."Yu Qian complained

"Eh, you're underestimating yourself, and astronomers don't have the ability to do that." Ren Yuan cleared his throat and said, "In other words, if you look up and see the night sky exactly the same as you remember, you can't tell if there's a fake moon hanging in the sky, right?" ”

"If you are outrageous, then if there is a fake moon hanging in the sky, what about the real moon? Can you hide a moon that big? Yu Qian was not convinced by Ren Yuan's description

"Is it big? From our point of view, it's the size of a projectile, right? Ren Yuan chuckled and said, "As for hiding, Commissioner Li Mo, who died in the hands of the Advent Sect before, can hide his whole person in front of him." Not to mention, the hermit who was obsessed with the disaster department, he was able to hide the whole mountain. ”

"You mean to say...," Yu Qian frowned and asked, "Someone erased the moon's presence?" Can Inhumans do this? ”

"Of course the Inhumans can't, at least I haven't heard of such a powerful independent reality that can so erase the presence of celestial bodies. It may be possible to deceive the people of a city in a short period of time, or to deceive a small number of people forever. Ren Yuan looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said with a little admiration, "To say that forever blinding the perception of the entire city's population is definitely not something that an alien can do. But the Lord of the Moon can do it. ”

"He not only erased the existence of the moon in S City, but even replaced the existence of the moon with his own independent world, becoming the moon in the perception of everyone in S City." Ren Yuan said with emotion, "I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles." But for people in S City, this is not the case. People under this moonlight don't share the same moon with people outside of S City. ”

"It's... How? Yu Qian asked in shock

"If I knew, then I would be entitled to an independent world." Ren Yuan smiled silently, "Maybe it's hard for you to understand, but the moment you step out of the boundary of S City, what you see when you look up is no longer this bright moon." ”

"Do you mean to say that he has permanently changed the night sky in this area?"

"No, all he changed was the moon. When it comes to change, it's not exact. Ren Yuan explained, "To be precise, there is no difference between the moon you see and the real moon, and if you take a rocket to the moon in S City, you must be on the real moon." But what you look up now is the Moon Lord's separate world. ”

"I think I probably understand that his independent world has affected the entire S City, replacing the moon in his cognition, right?" Yu Qian said thoughtfully, "He didn't think about the real moon, but on the cognitive level, within this range, he replaced the moon?" ”

"It's worthy of my fancy Long Mu, who understands it very quickly." Ren Yuan praised, "It is precisely because of this that he is called the Lord of the Moon. ”

"But I still don't understand, what is the point of him doing this?" Yu Qian wondered, "Maybe it's not difficult for the so-called Moon Lord to do this, but is it necessary to do so?" According to you, not only is it no different from the real moon in terms of observation, but it also doesn't seem to have any effect on reality? ”

"It really doesn't have any effect, and it's not an easy operation even for the man who claims to be the Lord of the Moon. But unlike what you think, it's necessary for him. Ren Yuan said in a deep voice, "He needs everyone in S City, thinking that what they see is the real moon." ”

Yu Qian, who was driving the car, pricked up his ears and listened carefully to Ren Yuan's explanation, he understood that the other party's "popular science" for himself at this time was naturally not just a casual chat. Since I am going to this so-called Moonlight Witch Workshop next, it is naturally very important to understand the relevant information.

"What you have to understand here is that for the alien who wants to influence this world, the human will is very important." Ren Yuan raised his finger and said, "The power of group cognition is much more terrifying than you imagined. Man can create gods. ”

"That's what you said before, strong enough mental fluctuations to communicate with foreign sources?"

"It's not that simple, although it sounds a bit idealistic, but I think that now, you are no longer a staunch materialist, are you?" Ren Yuan joked, "Although it hasn't reached the point where I think about it, so I am, but you can imagine that in ancient times, people really thought that there was Chang'e on the moon, didn't they?" ”‘

"So what?"

So there was a series of stories, sounds, and myths related to the moon. There are also moon-viewing festivals, fixed customs, and supporting special diets. Even if we now know that there are no people on the moon, it still doesn't affect the continuation of these traditions, right? Ren Yuan knocked on the car window and asked, "So do you say, are these traditional customs real and valuable, or are they based on completely fictitious mistakes that have no meaning?" ”

"This Mid-Autumn Festival is naturally meaningful..."

That's right, that's the basis for the existence of independent reality. Even if it is not a reality recognized by this world, nor is it a reality understood by alien sources, just like customs based on misconceptions, independent reality needs a cognitive foundation to stabilize nature. Even if it is not agreed upon by either of the two worlds, it is reasonable as long as it works. ”

"Existence is reasonable?"

"So to speak." Ren Yuanwei bowed, "But the independent world is different, although I don't really understand the key to the existence of the independent world." But judging by the actions of the Moon Lord alone, the independent world does not die with the death of its creator. ”

"Of course, there is no such thing as an independent world, and there is no object to refer to. Whether he is the only one who can do it, or whether he can do it himself, no one knows. But judging by the results, the Moon Lord did it. ”

"But even if you stay, it's not so easy to maintain. When he was alive, there was naturally no problem, but after he died, how this independent world could exist in our world for a long time, I guess it should be a very tricky problem. ”

"Guess?"

"Unless there is another god with an independent world to explain it in person, I can only guess." Ren Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's it, it's because I've been in contact with the Lord of the Moon that I have the direction to guess, and I can't guess it if I change people." ”

"Well..."

"In short, it is necessary to make the world aware of the existence of an independent world, and at the same time to maintain its independence so as not to cause conflict between the two worlds. The Moon Lord's approach is to make his independent world the moon of S City, and let all life in the entire S City know to maintain its existence. At the same time, the moon itself has reasonable anomalies, carrying countless myths and legends. This also guarantees its independence. ”

"To be able to do this, I really deserve to be called a god." Yu Qian muttered, "You dared to confront this kind of existence in the first place, you are also a monster." ”

"It's nothing, if you want to kill yourself for a long time, you won't be too entangled in whether to hang yourself or take poison, right?" Ren Yuan pursed his lips and said, "In my opinion, the Lord of the Moon is nothing more than that, and he can't even kill me." Taking money and not doing things is the same virtue as those imaginary gods of human beings. ”

"Say." Yu Qian looked at the towering buildings in front of him, turned the steering wheel and stopped on the side of the road, "Nie Pu is talking about Peng Yue Building, right?" We're here. ”

The two of them got out of the car and looked at the slightly abrupt super-tall buildings in front of them, Yu Qian subconsciously held his breath and fell silent.

In front of such a skyscraper with hundreds of floors, you can always feel the insignificance of human beings. When you talk about a huge celestial body like the moon or stars, you don't really feel the huge drop. After all, when the order of magnitude is large to a certain extent, the limit of cognition is exceeded, and at this time, the existence of the gap is not realized.

But this kind of building that really stands in front of you is different, this kind of visual impact. It is always the fastest and most intuitive, instilling a huge gap into cognition. This kind of majestic pressure cannot be experienced without personal experience. Compared with the skyscrapers in front of him, the moon hanging high in the sky really looked like just a projectile as Ren Yuan said.

Looking up for a moment, Ren Yuan waved his hand and beckoned Yu Qiandao

"Let's go up."
