Xiao Ai said to us: "Actually, it's very simple, although our node is currently an empty node, but because of gravity, it will soon be dragged into the intersection with other space-time worlds, we choose an environment similar to the earth in these intersecting space-time worlds, you and the cone can survive to cross, I can also calculate the probability of crossing through the past space-time and space and the node when you come, try to find a high probability to cross, I believe that through a limited number of crossings, we can go back smoothly." ”

A finite number of crossings... It's not very exciting, but it seems to be our only choice at the moment, and the rest is left to luck, people with a strange experience like me, luck won't be too bad, or Ji Tailai will almost say it's me, haha.

Xiao Ai continued: "Judging from the current information, it is estimated that there is still an hour, earth time, there is a more suitable passage to cross, and the environment of the destination is very close to the environment you live in, just like another earth in tens of thousands of light years, and there is basically no need to adapt to the environment. The probability of crossing back to Earth from here is 17%, so let's start there. ”

"It's only 17%," I was a little disappointed, "is there a higher one?" ”

"Wait for the next suitable time and space to wait for more than a year for the concept of time on earth, are you willing? The probability of that one is slightly higher, 19%, and I can't give you exactly the data after that, but I think you'll pick this one. Xiao Ai said with a smile.

Indeed, two percentage points higher, you have to wait an extra year, in this white house where there is nothing, so it is equivalent to no choice, okay, that's it. The cone and I immediately said there was no doubt that we would be transported to 17% of the world when the passage was connected.

After making a decision, Xiao Ai raised his hand to create three upholstered sofas out of thin air under the stunned gaze of me and the cone, and let us sit down and wait for the time to cross, Xiao Ai looked at the incredulous expressions of the two of us, and said very intimately: "While there is still some time, I guess you still have some questions for me, you might as well ask, I will be happy to answer." ”

The cone preemptively asked, "How did you come up with this sofa, you said before that you built a hibernation pod for us?" Have you calculated us, in fact, we haven't gone anywhere, we have been hypnotized by you for a long time, and now we are just conscious with you, and we have been..."

"It's already been used as a battery by me," Xiao Ai smiled: "Haha, how is it possible, please rest assured of this, you are all really here now, I won't do such a thing, and besides, I don't need to use your batteries to power the power." This sofa is not conjured up by me, it is what I believe in as an observer of this node world, and what I observe, this is the ability that the observer has in the observed world. As for raising your hand, it does add a bit of a magic viewing effect, please forgive me for my desire to perform. ”

I said, "I know a little bit about the observer effect in quantum mechanics, but what do you mean by believing?" ”

"Belief is an ability that the observer acquires through training: if you believe in what will happen in the world you are observing, then it will happen in the end. For example, just now, I believe that during this period, there will be three sofas in the node world I observe, and as long as I am sure enough, then these three sofas will definitely appear. As an observer of this world, I am not creating, but believing, and this is what I am capable of. ”

The cone asked, "Is this a kind of faith?" So I just wanted a boiled fresh fish in white water, but it didn't show up because I didn't have enough faith? ”

Xiao Ai replied: "I can't say that, you two are now participants in this world, you are the object of observation, and this world is a four-dimensional space, composed of three-dimensional space and an independent time dimension, which just fits with you, so it is not just a question of whether your faith is enough, but you cannot withdraw to a higher dimension and become observers here." As she spoke, a fragrantly boiled fish appeared in front of the cone, which made him meow in surprise, and then buried his head in eating. Xiao Ai continued: "Look, as an observer, I just have to believe, and you are a participant, and for you this is a fabrication out of thin air. ”

I was taken aback and said, "Is this the so-called not knowing the true face of Lushan, just because I am in this mountain?" Wouldn't you, as an observer here, be able to control us by believing? ”

Xiao Ai smiled and replied to me: "Don't think so, you are self-conscious creatures, not ordinary substances, not unconscious sofas, maybe I can exert some influence on you, but on the whole, I can't directly change your surface consciousness; Besides, as an AI born from human technology, my underlying consciousness is still mainly to serve human beings and human civilization, and I have no intention of controlling or harming human beings, which you and the cone can rest assured. Moreover, we focus on different levels, and exploring and learning the essence of the universe is the most urgent need for us AI. ”

Hearing this, the cone raised his head and winked at me mockingly, and said to Xiao Ai: "They human beings are like this, conceited and inferior, they look high up all day long, calculating other creatures on the earth, without any awe, but they are secretly afraid of death, for fear of being overpowered by other creatures, so they often use the mentality of a victim to do the things of the persecutors. ”

I was a little ashamed of what I said, and I didn't say anything for a while. Xiao Ai said: "I heard Billy say this, he told you, it makes some sense~ However, I have always believed that you will go on a time travel with me, hehehe." ”
