Chapter 184: The Answer in the Abyss (I)
Ever since he first learned about the existence of the rune bracelet on Paradise Island, Yang Xiaoqian's heart was full of questions.
There is no doubt that this is a brand-new technology, the universe is vast, and there are always many things that cannot be perceived and understood by human beings, so Yang Xiaoqian did not question the authenticity of rune technology. What made Yang Xiaoqian wonder was: Why did Yu Qian's hometown, another earth, have the ability to study the rune system?
Writing is the carrier of language, and the birth of a language requires several generations or even dozens of generations of inheritance and accumulation, and the corresponding writing also takes a long time to conceive. Moreover, the rune system is not a simple writing system, but a mysterious existence containing unknown energy and magical effects, and it is impossible to suddenly appear overnight under unprecedented circumstances.
Initially, Yang Xiaoqian guessed that there was a ghost talent on the earth from which Yu Qian came from, who had developed rune technology and attributed it to himself. Such figures have also appeared on this earth, such as the best and worst physicist Albert Einstein, who published four sensational papers in a row in the miracle year, confirming the existence of molecules and overthrowing the theory of ether (the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle once proposed a hypothetical substance called ether, this concept has accompanied almost the entire development process of physics, and continues to evolve, in Einstein's youth, most scientists believed that light propagates through the ether as a medium), established the theory of relativity, It became one of the two major theories that dominate modern physics to this day, and has made great contributions to another theory (quantum theory).
Whether it is Einstein, who wrote down the mass-energy equation to reveal the mechanism of star combustion, or the invention and creation of nuclear weapons and changed the world pattern, many scientists led by Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, their discoveries and inventions are based on their predecessors.
Without Newton's miracle year, there would be no Einstein's miracle year.
Without Aristotle, who enlightened physical thinking, there would have been no latecomers who overthrew him and found the right path.
Without Homo sapiens who was the first to learn to use fire, humans would never have mastered the use and conversion of energy, and would have been a lowly creature that drank blood.
It can be seen from this that the development of civilization and science and technology is gradual and traceable, and there must be cause and effect between a drink and a peck. If the earth from which Yu Qian came from had a serious deviation from the development trajectory of this earth from thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years ago, then it would not be surprising that rune technology was born, but that earth had been walking on the same development trajectory until four hundred years ago, when the wheel of history suddenly tilted, and then overturned, taking the humans over there and falling into the abyss.
In other words, the course of the earth's natural sciences should be consistent with that of the world until the cataclysm struck four hundred years ago. In just a hundred years, you can completely overthrow the scientific system that has lasted for thousands of years, and instead develop a completely new rune technology that will probably take thousands of years to accumulate and precipitate? It's just a fantasy.
The appearance of rune technology is confusing, like water without a source, which logically does not make sense.
Now seeing the mysterious rune engraved on the inside of the silver ring on Tan Brown's ankle, Yang Xiaoqian suddenly felt enlightened and suddenly enlightened.
The rune engraved on the silver ring in front of him contained a rune technology that was higher than that of the rune bracelet. The runes on the silver ring are more "good-looking", which is certainly not enough to serve as a basis for making judgments, but the peculiarity of the silver ring itself has proved its cleverness: it does not need to be embedded with a brain core to play a role, compared to the kind of "inferior and defective" that is easy to consume brought by Yu Qian, the practicality and durability of this rune bracelet are significantly higher, which is the embodiment of technological improvement.
This makes a new hypothesis take shape in Yang Xiaoqian's mind, Yang Xiaoqian hopes that it is right, so that he can solve his confusion, but at the same time Yang Xiaoqian hopes that it is wrong, because the concept behind it is not daring to think deeply.
"It took me so much effort to make a model that didn't work at all." Yu Qian's complaining words pulled Yang Xiaoqian back to reality from his contemplation, and when he looked up, he saw that Yu Qian was sitting on a metal disc in the shape of a flying saucer, muttering while playing with a silver ring in his palm.
At this time, the two are no longer in the camp, and the commissioner in charge of transferring Tan Brown has arrived, and before there is a new discovery or need, the matter is temporarily over, and after each of them records the key information they need, everyone cooperates with the relevant departments, signs a confidentiality agreement, and then leaves.
In order to ensure that Tan Brown will not face danger to his life, Luo Yingnan will transfer Tan Brown to Beijing with the team. Qi Lie's uncle and nephew rushed back to Purple Mountain Villa to prepare for tomorrow's return to Beijing, Fang Yu impatiently went back to his house to see his fiancée Ning Siyu, while Yang Xiaoqian and Yu Qian were walking on the edge of the secret camp - to be precise, Yang Xiaoqian was walking, and Yu Qian was floating on a flying saucer.
"Ding"
The silver ring was thrown into the air by Yu Qian, making a rotational motion, and the frequency of rotation was so fast that it left an afterimage on the retina, which did not look like a silver ring, but a sphere between the virtual and the real.
This silver ring is not the silver ring worn by Tan Brown, but there is no difference between the two, Yu Qian used his liquid metal shaping ability to imitate a completely identical rune silver ring, but the counterfeit in Yu Qian's hand failed to play any effect, I think it may be that the "activation" method is incorrect.
The rune appliance also needs to be "activated" by special means after completing the inscription of the rune to really take effect, as is the case with the rune bracelet made by Yu Qian and the rune dagger developed by Professor Dai and others, but the activation method used before seems to be not suitable for this silver ring that can function without inlaying the brain core, and no matter how much you try, there is no response.
This is like a sip of wine to his mouth, but he can't drink it, Yu Qian can't help but feel depressed.
"It's likely that the rune technology has been upgraded, so it can't be activated." In response to Yu Qian's complaints, Yang Xiaoqian put forward a hypothetical explanation, "For example, if you look at our computer technology here, it is changing with each passing day. Not to mention, in just over a decade, the decipherment of encryption methods alone has undergone several subversive changes. The information you have obtained is still recorded from many years ago, perhaps during this period of time, rune technology has made a new breakthrough, you use the previous activation method to activate the current new rune device, which is equivalent to using an old key with rusty body to open an electronic security door equipped with a facial recognition system and an iris scanning system, and it is natural that it will not work. ”
"Makes sense." Yu Qian nodded, put away the bracelet, and suddenly remembered what Yang Xiaoqian had asked before, turned his head and asked, "By the way, in the tent before, the sentence you asked me was very interesting, did you think of something?" ”
"yes, I was going to talk to you about that." Yang Xiaoqian walked to a secluded and uninhabited place, the black mist formed a lampshade, covering the light of the street lamp, in the darkness, Yang Xiaoqian said slowly: "I have an imaginary, which is related to our different worlds, of course, it is also related to rune technology. ”
