401. The Art of Prophecy

In the Red Kite main ship, the members of the cleaning department who were assigned to the logistics team were busy nervously, and Peach, who was the cleaning supervisor, was busy at the same time, but she was also worried, because Fang Zhou had been missing for more than 20 hours at this time, and she knew Fang Zhou, and it was impossible for him to disappear for no reason.

Peach reported the matter to Su Mei, but the Ark could no longer be found in the main ship, and now there are dangerous viruses outside, the Ark is out now, what if it is infected?

......

At this time, the ark is on its way to a distant and ancient star field, where there may be an answer to the virus.

In order to get to this star field, the ark first took a spaceship and moved to an interstellar coordinate point, and then he got off the spaceship here, and the rest of the road he needed to move forward on his own.

Because that distant and ancient star field is also a dangerous star field, it can even be called a cosmic Jedi.

That star field is filled with all kinds of extremely destructive energy, and they are extremely corrosive to almost all matter.

There may be a lot of small celestial bodies in that star field, but as long as you touch them with your hands, they will turn into powder in an instant, if the spaceship flies in it, I am afraid that it will not take more than an hour, its shell will be eroded and broken, even if the energy shield is opened, the corrosive energy there is extremely destructive to the energy shield, and the energy shield will not last for ten hours at most, and it will be shattered, and then the ship will be destroyed and people will die, so the way to go there still needs to be walked by the ark itself.

With Fang Zhou's current strength, it is not enough to get there by himself, so the 'Spirit Possession Technique' opened by Fang Zhou borrowed Bai Qi's power, so as to ensure that he can reach his destination smoothly.

......

Because there are no stars in this field, there is no light, and the temperature is extremely low, which are also two major factors of danger.

This starfield full of dead silence has never been completely conquered by anyone since ancient times, not even the Ark.

Of course, the ark did not conquer it, mainly because this star field has no value to conquer, it is lifeless, and valuable objects have long been eroded clean.

As far as the Ark is concerned, the only useful thing here is the corrosiveness of this star field, and if this corrosiveness can be applied to war, it should be good.

The Ark had done research on this before, but found that the erosion seemed to come from the overall environment of this star field, and it was difficult to simulate it as a weapon.

Also, although the erosion there is strong, if it is used for war, it is still a little insufficient, after all, it takes more than an hour to erode a spaceship, so it is better to cut the ark directly, so the ark gave up later.

......

It was an extremely boring thing to move forward in this extremely dark and extremely cold star field, so they only had to communicate with Bai Qi, and they unknowingly discussed a guy called 'Life'.

Fang Zhou said: "You said that this guy 'fate', why did you hide the prophecy box in this kind of ghost place?" ”

Bai Qi said leisurely: "Who knows, this guy 'life' has always liked to make things mysterious. However, 'Destiny' does have two brushes, and I still haven't figured out his prophecy technique. ”

"Fate' mentioned to me what is going on with his prophecy technique, anyway, if you have nothing to do, I'll tell you."

"Listen up."

......

"In his case, when the accumulated intelligence and the ability to interpret it reach a certain level. Well, it can be to the extent of predicting the future. ”

"I'll give you an example: if a person comes into the kitchen with an empty water glass, you can predict that he might be pouring water. If you are more familiar with this person, then the accuracy rate will improve a lot. This is also a kind of foreknowledge. If it's a more magical precognition, I think it's a coincidence, or your brain guesses something in the future through a known clue, it's actually a coincidence, except that you'll pay more attention to the right part of the precognition.

"Let me give you another example: I recently went to watch a video after ordering takeout, and after a while, I suddenly felt that the takeaway guy was coming, so I went to get dressed, and I just received a call from takeout after I finished dressing. This seemed amazing at first glance, but later I observed this phenomenon and I found out the reason.

How long it takes for the takeaway to arrive is relatively random, but in fact, there is a range, for example, he will definitely not arrive in a minute, usually more than 20 minutes, although I didn't specifically look at the time, the body will calculate an approximation.

My ears will also hear the sound of the electric car stopping downstairs and opening and closing the takeaway box, and I didn't deliberately listen to it, but my body heard it on its own. In fact, things always happen with an element of chance and necessity.

When we go to predict the future, we must not only consider the influence of those common factors, but also those inconspicuous accidental factors, which are also essential, and accidental factors are like a black swan, and it is difficult for you to catch it. Complex things are not unpredictable, but the knowledge and information associated with them are so great that it is difficult to build accurate predictive models, resulting in huge deviations in the results.

So the root of foreknowledge depends on how much you know, that is, how much information you have.

It can be said that the more knowledge and information we have, the more things we can predict, and the higher the accuracy of our predictions. With the continuous advancement of science and technology, there is no doubt that human beings will become more and more capable of predicting and controlling the future. Know that the purpose of all our knowledge is essentially to predict the future and thus take the right action.

This sounds esoteric, but let's give a few more examples.

1. The sun rises in the east every day. This is a knowledge point. With this knowledge, we can predict that the sun will rise in the east tomorrow when it is dark, and then sleep peacefully, instead of thinking that the end of the world has arrived.

2. Rotten food can cause diarrhea when eaten. After knowing this knowledge point, we can predict what will happen after eating it before we eat it, so we generally don't eat it.

3. You may get rabies after being bitten by a dog, and vaccination can cure rabies. With these two knowledges in mind, if I get bitten by a dog one day, I can predict that I may get rabies, and then I can predict that I will be safe when I go for vaccination.

The above examples are all obvious and basically less likely to be wrong. However, no matter how simple things are, the accuracy of prediction cannot reach 100%, because predicting the future is based on the knowledge and information we have, and we cannot grasp all the knowledge and information in the universe. But this does not prevent us from predicting the future, and many times we just need to be roughly accurate. ”
