Everyone laughed, and the sound waves of laughter thundered against the bulkheads of the cramped cabin, back and forth, and it sounded like hundreds of people were laughing, even though there were only a dozen or so people.

The perpetrator of the happy accident, the coal boss, tilted his head and carried a bird's claw, as if trying to distinguish who was who from the raging voice. It was about to say something, but when it turned its head, it saw the dried corpse of Ronald Cohen sitting in a chair. The light of the fire dancing in the wind fell on the pale and shriveled face, like the smile of death.

The coal boss was startled, the hair on his neck exploded, his claws slipped, and he almost fell off Aoki.

"Hehe, wait a minute, you guys ......" it flapped its wings and grabbed Aoki by the hair.

People stopped laughing and looked at the crow, wondering why it had become so flustered.

"You ...... Did you feel him — " it pointed at Ronald Cohen with the tip of its wings, "laughing? And the zombies in the other rooms outside, I think I hear them laughing too...... Forehead ......"

The crow saw people looking at it like fools and felt a little embarrassed, "Uh-uh...... Well, you know, birds have a little bit more advanced hearing than humans, eh...... I mean, it's just a little ......."

The people laughed again.

The crow shook its head helplessly and croaked twice. However, it heard a lot of different laughter, echoing in the hallways outside, which were clearly not from the people here. It could only admit that it was unlucky to think that there was something wrong with its birds' nerves, but after thinking about it, it felt that there was really something wrong with the nerves of these people: why talk so much nonsense in this cramped cabin? You can go out on deck, bask in the sun, blow the lake breeze, catch a few fish, grill the fish, and discuss Gaia's problems!

The thought of eating makes it less afraid. Well? Why do you seem to smell the scent of sauce elbows......

After the laughter, the people looked at Situ again, waiting for him to continue the story about the Alliance of the Awakened and Master Nanke.

Szeto Says:

"The multi-layer dream entropy equilibrium theory provides a solution to the problem of heat death in the universe - as long as there is a dream that is symmetrical with our universe and can be continuously amplified, and the information of the universe is input into the symmetrical mirror surface, our universe can keep its entropy low and will not move towards heat death.

This may be complicated to say, and it involves a lot of mystical things. If you had to describe it in simple language, you could understand it like this-

Everything in the universe we live in, including particles, waves, energy and information, is not static, it is constantly moving, according to the second law of thermodynamics, they always go from order to disorder, and eventually become the most chaotic and disordered state, that is, all particles, waves, energy and information are evenly distributed throughout the universe, just like a drop of ink into water, it will slowly disperse, and finally mix evenly with water. At that time, the universe died, which is called the heat death of the universe in thermodynamics.

If there is a huge dream, this dream can be infinitely extended to become a negative universe symmetrical to our real universe, because the total amount of information between the dream and reality is conserved, and the entropy of the universe is input into the negative universe through information, the low entropy of this universe can be maintained. ”

Except for Su Huilan, everyone was ignorant. Aoki understands a little, but because he has a headache, he is too lazy to think about it. And Mrs. Larry, although she is highly scientifically literate, does not know much about dreams and spiritual aspects, so she is also frowning and thinking.

But what is the use of this theory? Who can create a dream as big as the universe? Su Huilan said.

Yes, it is for this reason that not many people responded to the theory of multi-layered dream entropy equilibrium at the time. In addition, at that time, quantum mechanics had just begun, the understanding of the universe was not as profound as it is today, people did not know what black holes were, the theory of relativity was still under widespread criticism, and almost no one knew the name of Master Nanke.

However, within the Alliance of the Awakened, Master Nanke's theory caused an uproar. No one can create a dream as big as the universe, but what if all human beings dream together? What if not only the human beings of the earth, but all the life in the universe dreamed together? Who says you can't have a cosmic group dream?

The question that arises is whether we are now in a vast dream, and whether our universe is a negative universe that exists to maintain the low entropy of another universe. The entropy of our universe can only increase, not decrease, is it because the entropy of another universe is constantly being fed in? If so, then our fate is irretrievably going to death, just to keep another world alive! ”

Although I still didn't quite understand Situ's words, the last sentence shocked everyone's hearts. Do we live only to die with more dignity? And to die so that others can live better?

It sounds great, but who can take it? You, your loved ones, your friends, your lovers, all your kind...... will all die! You die just so that another group of people you don't know (not necessarily people) live?

"And what about later? What progress has been made in this theory? "Mrs. Larry maintains a consistent approach to academics.

Later, many hypotheses were born from this theory, and there was a great debate within the alliance. Some people think that we live in a dream and should find a way to return to the real universe. Some people think that since group dreams can maintain the low entropy of the universe, then create another dream to maintain the low entropy of our world. There are also those who believe that the authority of the alliance should be maintained, and the ancient precepts should be observed, so as to prevent humanity from entering the group dream. The signs of a split in the alliance have been around for a long time, and the theory of Master Nan Ke has exacerbated this phenomenon. In addition, at that time, the world was in turmoil, and war was on the verge of breaking out, and the alliance was inevitably involved. ”

Situ said this in one breath and stopped, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I finally understood what you meant when you and Dewar said that World War II might have been a dream," Aoki said. You're the one who supports the idea that humanity is in a dream and should go back to the real universe, right? ”

Situ smiled: "Actually, it's the 'one' person, not the group. ”

"Huh? Are you the only one who holds this view? Su Hui Lanqi said.

"Maybe there were others, but no one said it, or it didn't make sense to say it. If we are really in such a huge dream realm, no matter how hard we try, we will not be able to break free and return to the upper world. Moreover, Occam's razor was not yet sluggish, and its sharp blade was ready to scrape clean the 'unnecessary, additional entities'. ”

Situ rubbed his chin and laughed self-deprecatingly, as if the beard on his clean chin had been shaved by Occam's razor.

"Then what is Master Nanke's attitude?"

"Master Nan Ke never argues with people, and at that time the world began to fall into constant chaos, and by World War II, most of the members of the alliance were involved in the war, and Master Nan Ke disappeared."

"My father once said that Master Nan Ke imprisoned himself in Sin City, what is that Sin City?" Su Huilan asked.

Situ shook his head and said, "I don't know either." I was too young and too vigorous to figure everything out on my own, and I ended up being on the fringes of the League. Sin City has always been a legend, even more mysterious than the Alliance's five holy sites.

Legend has it that Sin City has a gravity of sin, which can induce the original sin of the spiritual world, so that the consciousness cannot escape, and only by washing away the original sin and becoming the purest consciousness can leave. But this is just a legend, and it does not stand up to scrutiny. There is no standard for good and evil, so what is original sin?

Even if each of us is guilty, after the consciousness is separated from the matter, there is no memory, and the consciousness without memory is pure, how can the gravity of sin bind it?

So I suspect it's actually a spiritual black hole. ”
