Chapter 718: Human Choice
Through further interpretation of the poems inscribed on the black obeliform, the Central Academy of Sciences was given further information.
One of the key points is that linguists did not pay much attention to the hieroglyphs used on the monuments, but mathematicians found that some mathematical symbols were clearly mixed in.
This is a particularly strange thing, because there is no fixed format for such a thing as mathematical symbols, and it is up to a civilization to define itself.
For example, the well-known "+" and "-" can be represented by other things, and in the eyes of other civilizations, they do not mean addition and subtraction.
In this case, how can we assume that these hieroglyphs represent the mathematical symbols defined by human civilization?
Linguists scoff at this, arguing that it cannot be taken for granted.
However, the truth is so bizarre that when these mathematical symbols are substituted into these poems according to the definition of human beings, they can be cleverly understood.
Once this is done, the content of the entire black stele is like changing from the "Book of Songs" to the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", of course, the content is extremely profound, and even contains many techniques that the wandering earth has not yet mastered.
The symbols represented by the three sides of the black stele are also interpreted from these poems through the equation of columns, and as Ding Yi expected, they are finally reduced to a complex formula.
Although it is not yet known what this formula does, it is certainly a matter of time before it is understood with further research.
The most confusing thing is the reason behind this phenomenon.
Because this is too much of a coincidence, this black monument makes use of so many human-defined mathematical symbols, uses the decimal system commonly used by humans, and hieroglyphs that are easily understood by humans, all of which means that other civilizations will only get their hands on it, and the amount of information they can obtain is far inferior to that of human civilization.
But it is clear that when this black monument appeared, human civilization and even life on earth had not yet been born, so how did it predict all this?
In the end, the Central Academy of Sciences came up with the answer, which is what Qiao Law knew.
Ding Yi talked eloquently in front of Qiao Lu:
"We have traveled through so many parallel worlds, met so many human civilizations, and discovered them. Although human civilizations in different planes have different cultures and histories, there are always some things in common. ”
"For example, we all use the decimal system, have similar languages, and even have exactly the same mathematical symbols, so we are so convenient for scientific and technological exchanges, and not as secretive as the knowledge of other civilizations."
"Then further speculate that if it is not only the human civilization in the parallel world, but also the human civilization in the reincarnation of the universe, which also has such similarities, then the content on this monument can be understood."
Before Ding Yi could say the final conclusion, Qiao Lu took the lead and said:
"This is what the last generation of human civilization left us, and it records all the knowledge we need to master."
"That's right······ Well? ”
Ding Yi suddenly reacted, this was a conclusion that they had come to after discussing it for a long time, why did Qiao Lu say it so lightly?
"You already knew?"
"I'm sorry." Qiao Lu said nondeniably, "Call everyone over, I have an important matter to announce." ”
Originally, the origin of the black monument, the Central Academy of Sciences had to gather everyone and inform them of this very important matter.
Now that there is a factual basis, Qiao Lu doesn't need to hide anything.
Moments later, the coalition government convened an emergency meeting, with all the permanent representatives present to hear the conclusions.
Ding Yi first retold the content of the black stele, and then explained its origin, which alone had already caused a shock to the audience, but the show had only just begun.
Next, Qiao Lu finally opened up and told all the things he had never been able to say.
From the beginning of the Wandering Earth to the truth of the universe that I only learned from the system administrator recently, what the Zeroers did, and the ultimate mission of the Wandering Earth, Qiao Lu told them all in the world.
The sheer amount of information made everyone present fall into a state of stupor, and if it weren't for the black monument as evidence, even if it came out of Qiao Lu's mouth, it would still make them feel unbelievable.
It can only be said that all this is beyond their imagination, and even the scope of understanding.
The dark truth of the universe, the desperate reincarnation of fate, the Zeroers who are behind the scenes, and the inheritance of the previous generation of human civilization all make people feel so incredible.
But the facts are in front of us, and what is recorded on the black stele is not false, and the inferences of scientists all point to this truth.
Luo Feng was the first to react and asked Qiao Lu:
"Do you accept it? Such a brutal mission. ”
Of course, Qiao Lu also explained that he wanted to become the last watchman of human civilization, and it was not a happy thing to carry such a burden alone to usher in the end of the universe.
"In my opinion, if the Wandering Earth can give up going to the new universe and refuse to become a new Zeroer to usher in the end of the universe, such a choice will be much more difficult than mine. It is easy for a person to make a choice, but it is very difficult for a civilization to make a choice. ”
Yes, the premise for Qiao Lu to be able to achieve his mission is the support of all mankind.
If the human civilization that finally defeats the Zero, or insists on inheriting all the technology of the Zero, and goes to the new universe after the restart, then everything will be lost.
There will always be someone who will become the new zeroer, relying on the cosmic restart technology to take the lead in using the cosmic law weapon, then everything will go back to the beginning, just a different group of people.
This is the last problem left for Qiao Lu, the fate of the universe is not in the hands of him alone, but the entire Wandering Earth civilization.
Only when the human group makes a rational judgment can Qiao Lu complete his mission, otherwise no matter how hard he tries alone, he will not be able to change the final outcome.
That's why he wants to say everything, a wish that can only be fulfilled by a coalition government.
Luo Feng immediately sensed Qiao Lu's intentions, but also fell silent.
It is indeed a luxury to keep human beings sane forever. No one knows what choice human civilization will make thousands of years later, and whether it will agree to Qiao Lu's seemingly absurd proposal.
"I can't guarantee anything." Luo Feng said frankly, "Besides, we may not see that day, the end of the universe is still too far away for us." ”
Admittedly, this is the truth. Qiao Lu couldn't expect someone to accompany him to the end.
"But—"
Luo Feng changed his words and said: "In my lifetime, I will stick to this belief to the end." And I hope that this belief will be passed down from generation to generation and will stay with you until the end of the universe. ”
