Chapter 7 Envisioning the Future

As far as the eye can see, the island is surrounded by verdant coconut groves, which are uninhabited but like a secluded paradise.

Hua Kejing then asked suspiciously: "Is this still Yuanshayu?" ”

"Yes, but it's not the real Yuanshayu."

"Of course I know it's not true, what do you say these are, virtual numbers, or cold programs?"

Hua Kejing looked around again, although it was fake, but this beach is so beautiful, the sea is so blue, and the sky is so far away!!

"Your understanding is roughly correct."

"Roughly correct and a few meanings, can you not speak so tactfully, is it not good to be direct? Why did you get me in? ”

"It's your own volition to come here, it's you who want to make changes, and I'm just helping you create an arithmetic model that allows you to foresee future trends to a certain extent and make the right choices."

In the face of Hua Kejing's questioning, the ethereal voice was outspoken, and he looked like he didn't hide it.

"The computational model allows me to foresee the trend of the future!" Hua Kejing was stunned for a moment, and then a little suddenly, "So, there is no time to go back at all, the eighth layer of the formwork support frame on the construction site collapsed and collapsed, it's just that I see multiple possibilities for the future?" ”

"It can be understood that way."

Hua Kejing asked again: "So, I entered the computational model you built when I arrived at the gate of the construction site?" ”

"When we arrive at the site gate, it's the initial node of the computational model."

After hearing this, Hua Kejing just wants to be quiet now,

and only quietly can help him clear his mind,

It's nice to be quiet.

After a while, he suddenly babbled and asked, "Since you mentioned the initial node, then there should be an end if there is a beginning, please tell me, when will this computation model end?" I mean I've been here for a long time. ”

"Obviously, you're not getting the picture, it's not a typical computing model, it's a static virtual world with no beginning and no end."

Hua Kejing's eyes widened and asked, "If you don't let me go, I will be trapped in the wilderness?" ”

The other party did not answer, and was silent.

It seems that this is what it should be.

Hua Kejing had no choice but to sigh and then asked, "How long can that typical computational model last, and it is endless?" ”

This time, the ethereal voice answered: "Of course it can't go on indefinitely. If the foundation of the model is not particularly complex and there are not too many variables, in my ability, it can last no more than an hour. ”

Hua Kejing asked with a surprised face: "That is, you can foresee the future within an hour?" ”

"It can't be divided into simple units of time. There is an important feature of the future, when we see the future in advance, it begins to change. And because we're looking at it, a lot of things are starting to change. ”

Hua Kejing is already confused, what the hell does this mean?

Does it mean that every minute in the future, every second will change because of the change in the previous moment?

After a long time, he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Since we can foresee the trend of future development, does this mean that we can change the future?" ”

"Unfortunately, even if you can foresee future trends and change the course of some of these events, some events cannot be changed in the established arithmetic model."

"Just like the collapse of the eighth-layer formwork support frame, the moment the computational model is built, the overloaded concrete is already doomed to its fate, and I can only try to delay the collapse time, or save the people above?" Hua Kejing was enlightened.

"You're thinking logically, you've been aware of that before." The ethereal voice paused for a moment before continuing to sound, "But there are still some fallacies in your understanding, the various futures you see in the virtual world are not real futures, they are just the results of calculations in the computing model. ”

"You mean there's only one real future!?" Hua Kejing asked rhetorically when he heard this.

"Time is irreversible, and the real future is the result of making the right decision after you have seen a variety of development trends in the virtual world." An ethereal voice spoke faintly.

"Have you seen a variety of trends and made the right decision?"

Hua Kejing muttered these words repeatedly, these words sounded very awkward, and it seemed that it was difficult for him to understand clearly for a while.

After a long while, Hua Kejing frowned slightly and continued to ask: "Then how many possibilities do I have to look at before I can make the right decision." ”

"The level of information complexity varies from model to model, and the more variables and the longer it lasts, the more complex the model becomes. For this time, the model wasn't particularly complicated, so you quickly got to the point and made the right decision with just two simulations. ”

"In other words, the time I rescued the workers before the third floor collapse was a real event."

After listening to this, Hua Kejing has already realized that his previous judgment is correct!

The time when the workers were rescued before the collapse of the eighth floor was the real "future".

So, he should be lying on his dorm bed safe and sound right now.

Fortunately, Hua Kejing continued to ask: "According to what you mean, if there is an extremely complex computing model, then I may have to perform countless simulations, and I may not even be able to make accurate judgments. ”

"It's true that there are extremely complex computational models, but each one of them will have relatively optimal results. If it is not possible to make the right decision, then the computational model will not be valid in the first place, it will be contradictory, and it will not be established. ”

Hearing this, Hua Kejing fell into contemplation again, these words contain a huge amount of information.

First, how should the so-called "right decision" be defined?

It's like we're trying to get out of a maze where there are three possible paths, which one should we choose, and why?

When he rushed into the construction site to save people, should he greet Lao Wang, how fast should he run, and how many decibels should he shout at the roof?

There are so many variables!

There are so many options!

There are a million possibilities for this moment!

However, if there are some slight deviations within the permissible range, it will not affect his ability to save people.

And the ethereal voice says that the future is the only one!
