Chapter 5: Parallel Universes
How terrifying the enhanced version of the living corpse at night is Lu Buping knows, and whether an adult man can go it alone depends on luck. And it is common sense that thousands of living corpses are enough to wipe out a medium-sized gathering place.
Yes, multiple gathering places that have been destroyed, bringing common sense to people. Everyone who lives in the apocalypse of bastards is used to it.
And these terrifying cannibals in front of you are just gone? Oh no, I should say" "It's all over the world".
"......" At this moment, Lu Buping's heart seems to be a convergence of rivers, lakes and seas churning wantonly, and it seems that thousands of alpacas are stomping wildly on his little heart.
What we have experienced in just one afternoon today is even more incredible than the last few years combined.
I complained in my heart that this big man's armor was useless, thinking it was a doomsday cross-dressing play. I didn't know that I was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye.
That's thousands of living corpses, through the blessing of the mysterious power of the night, each of them can kill themselves, who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, there will be no scum left. Looking at the leisurely appearance of the big man, it was obvious that he didn't use all his strength, and it was more like he did it easily. But no matter what, the man in front of him saved his life after all, and with his equipment, he would not be able to resist if it was really unfavorable to him.
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Buping also smiled: "Yes, it's just not environmentally friendly." ”
Helped up by the big man, Lu Buping looked into the man's eyes.
"Thank you for saving your life, and re-introduce yourself. My surname is Lu, my name is Lu Buping, and I am a scavenger in the neighborhood.
What about you, which stronghold's newest armament? Or is it a super weapon left over from the apocalypse? Can you elaborate on your origins and purpose? Killing me with your equipment should be as easy as pinching an ant, why the hell did you come to me? ”
"Well... This," unexpectedly, the big man who was a little too cheerful before was actually entangled at the moment, and after "this" for a long time, he finally took out a small machine as if he had made up his mind. It looks like a compass with a conspicuous red dot on it. It's like the detection radar in the pre-apocalyptic manga "Dragon Ball". "This is the Quantum Physique Life Probe, I relied on it to find you."
"Quantum what?"
"I couldn't have said anything according to the rules, but there's nothing wrong with showing you. You've been doing a lot better than most newcomers. Dahan said as he handed over the machine.
"What you hear next may be a little incredible, but you can understand as much as you want." I saw the big man fiddle with the button a few times, accompanied by a cheerful and melodious singing, and a holographic image was projected from the machine...
In the projection, a young woman appears, or a robot with feminine characteristics. The facial features are dignified, the face is good, and the figure is perfect, as if it is matched accurately according to the proportions with a measuring stick. What betrays her robot identity is the silver-gray eyes and the streamer lines around her body, reflecting a smooth metallic texture.
Anyone who sees her will be unconsciously attracted, but it gives people a dignified and untouchable feeling.
"Hello, great post-apocalyptic survivor, I am the super-artificial intelligence "galaxy" of the Apocalyptic Administration, and what you see now is a projection of my materialized carrier. Now that you are able to see my images and speak to me, it proves that my master recognizes that you have great potential to travel through parallel dimensions.
No matter what color or species you are, the Parallel Management Institute sincerely invites you to join us in the lofty goal of governing the parallel universe. Let me introduce you to the origin and basic rules of the eschatological administration. ”
"Artificial intelligence? Really...... What is it? Lu Buping stared at the stereoscopic projection in front of him, this kind of technology had never been heard of even before the end of the world.
"Yes, I'm from the Apocalyptic Administration, also known as the Parallel Space Administration. I will explain to you the origins of the Doomsday Administration in a worldview that you can understand. Xinghe replied.
As a result, a huge and incredible new world slowly unfolded in front of Lu Buping's eyes.
"From ancient times to the present, human curiosity and the desire to explore the unknown have been a great driving force for the development of science and technology. Watt studied the steam coming out of the kettle and eventually improved the steam engine. The Wright brothers' yearning for the sky wanted to soar like birds, so the prototype of the airplane appeared. "In the process of introducing the galaxy, the holographic projection in front of me is also changing synchronously.
There are many examples of how human beings have risen to the top of the world step by step through curiosity and desire to learn.
But when human technology has reached the extreme, and even knows the universe in which it is located, where should this curiosity be placed?
Space Zero, also known as the Ancestral Space. This is a highly technologically advanced universe.
As early as 150 years ago, the scientific and technological level of Ancestor Space has reached the peak of electronic information technology. With the advent of the first super-artificial intelligence, powerful artificial intelligence caused a technological explosion in the ancestral space.
Including but not limited to biotechnology, nanotechnology, quantum computing, etc., all of which have developed rapidly in just 30 years. The great abundance of materials and the breakthrough of medical technology have made the human beings in the ancestral space less and less thirsty for materials.
In order to satisfy the innate curiosity of human beings and pursue higher breakthroughs, they set their sights on the vast universe in an attempt to find other intelligent beings in the universe.
However, the result is desperate, and with the continuous exploration of the universe, the footsteps of the first human beings have set foot on countless planets. However, with the exception of a small number of protists, no signs of the existence of other sapient beings have been found. In the vastness of the universe, human beings are like a flat boat, looking for a lighthouse that does not exist.
This result was unacceptable to the Ancestral People, who were born with great curiosity and thirst for knowledge, and a great sense of loneliness and fear hung over the hearts of every human being. The rulers of Universe Zero know that when there is a technological bottleneck again, there is no motivation for external exploration, and what awaits the progenitor human beings is likely to be crazy in loneliness, or even self-destruction.
At this time, the genius scientist of the Ancestral Universe, William. James reintroduced the theory of parallel universes, also known as the theory of multiverses. He points out that the relationship between these universes and the Ancestral universe is like an infinitely superimposed sandwich, parallel to each other, but occasionally intersecting.
When parallel universes interact with each other, it will make people have a sense of déjà vu, and things or scenes that have not been experienced seem to have a sense of déjà vu experienced at a certain time and place, which means that another person in a parallel universe that you have experienced has brought you an impact.
At the same time, when the universe intersects, there are some values and physical parameters of the universe that will have an impact on people's thinking, which is called inspiration. Some people with active minds process and polish their inspiration into various books, films and television works, showing various worldviews, which are likely to exist in parallel universes.
Dr. James's remarks caused an uproar in the scientific community, and countless Ancestral Universe scientists began to study the reality of parallel universes, but unfortunately found nothing. He was also ridiculed for the stigma of the academic community at one point.
Until another 50 years later, that is, by chance, a young scientific research assistant had an accident in the experiment.
It would have been a common jumping experiment, using an artificial wormhole to quickly travel from one planet to another. However, due to the mistake of the young assistant, the commonly used space-time wormhole was adjusted to a miniature wormhole in a quantum state, resulting in the experimenter not jumping to the designated place, but disappearing.
To be precise, it should be a parallel universe with other intelligent life forms. When he brought the news back to Universe Zero, people were boiling.
Thus, mankind began a new era of "multiverse exploration". ”
The beautiful robot who called herself "Xinghe" stopped at this, and a pair of silver-white eyes stared at Lu Buping, as if waiting for him to digest the information he had just heard.
And at this time, Lu Buping really needs to slow down. The sudden huge worldview had a big impact on this young man.
"Wait," Lu Buping waved his hand and said, "That means that your super artificial intelligence and this brother are from some progenitor star, you are really aliens, ah no, you are from parallel universes, or whatever." In short, what do you want to do, conquer the earth and dominate the world, I raise my hands and feet to support! Lu Buping said.
"Big brother, you misunderstood" The big man who had never spoken since just now interjected.
"I'm indeed from another parallel universe, but I'm not an Ancestral Human, I'm a mercenary with a quantum matching physique like you."
"So what is this quantum constitution? You mentioned it just now. Lu Buping asked suspiciously.
Before Dahan could answer, the beautiful artificial intelligence Xinghe interrupted the conversation between the two
"Great Survivor, your questions will be answered in the introduction below. May you allow me to continue with the topic I just had? ”
"Okay, then you can go ahead." Lu Buping replied.
So an even more strange world slowly unfolded in front of Lu Buping's eyes.
