After the meal was drunk, Tang Tang returned to the bedroom, opened the packaging box of the True Spirit Transformation Game, and saw at a glance that there were several lines of various words printed on the top of the helmet, the first line was unrecognized: "Γλ?θισαν?", I don't know what the text is. The second line is kanji: "know yourself", the third line is "know yourself", and there are others, such as Russian, Arabic, Japanese, etc., and according to the second and third lines of the acquaintance, it feels like it should be a different translation of the same sentence.

"I felt a pretending aura coming over my face." Tang Tang said with a smile.

Jingkong on the side also quietly opened his box and quietly observed the helmet.

Knowing that Jingkong could simply change his name to Jingkong, Tang Tang didn't expect him to talk nonsense. Read on.

The next thing that caught the eye was a pamphlet. A striking brush on the cover: Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are clear. The winner is powerful, and the self-winner is strong.

Open it and look at the contents:

Ten thousand laws of idealism.

The greatest power in the world, the most ingenious technology, the most beautiful music, the most magnificent ideas...... All from one place.

Your potential, all your possibilities for growth, starts from that place.

balabala,balabala……

All kinds of words that seem to be philosophical and incitement, from beginning to end, Tang Tang can pass by at a glance, and it feels like a philosophy class, the kind that can blatantly skip class and not care about skipping class.

Then I finally found a small card tucked into a booklet with simple instructions for use. It is nothing more than where the power cord is plugged in, where the physical switch (for emergency use) is, the recommended time limit, etc.

It's very simple to fiddle around, put on the helmet, turn on the machine, and close your eyes. For comfort, lie directly on the bed.

After closing his eyes, he was hallucinating in front of him, and the hallucinations gradually stabilized and became obvious, showing a progress bar, which felt like an ordinary computer booted up or a program loaded.

Finally, a strong light flashed in front of him, and then it was black, and large or small points of light appeared, scattered and scattered, like the starry sky of the universe, and the light spots were of various colors, like a dream, and like a kaleidoscope.

All kinds of light points appear, slightly larger and brighter, and then shrink and dim, as if time flies, the universe is born and dies, and the stars quickly pass through its life, "short" and brilliant, and finally die forever.

The old stars die and new ones are born. More and more light points of various colors emerge in the field of vision, forming a strange spot map, at first glance always feel familiar, it seems to be something familiar fuzzy pixelated feeling, look carefully, before you can see what it looks like, the light points that constitute this fuzzy pixel map have gradually entered eternal silence, more and more new light points are generated, and form a familiar and plausible fuzzy painting, unequal to distinguish, and it is the cycle of life and death, and the change is uncertain......

In this way, attention is called up again and again, and the target of attention cannot be found again and again, and the attention is disappointed again and again. Tang Tang's attention gradually faded, the initial novelty and curiosity faded, and his mind gradually lost concentration, and he began to fall drowsy. It feels like when I am in class, I try very hard to listen to the lecture, but I can't find the expected point (stimulation point) even if I throw out my attention, and my mental shooting (hunting) fails again and again, and I can't get feedback, as if I can't get back after an arrow is shot, and finally there is no arrow to shoot, and my consciousness falls into a drowsy......

The starry sky in his eyes is still changing, and the rhythm of change is gradually slowing down during the period when Tang Tang is groggy and sleepy, as if he is asleep and waking up, and he has not noticed it.

At a certain moment, this ever-changing dreamlike starry sky seemed to have stabilized to a certain extent, no longer rapidly born and died, but only swayed, like a reflection in slightly fluctuating water.

Tang Tang's unconscious consciousness still maintained the previous curious instructions, wanting to find out what the starry sky was, and the illusion in front of him seemed to have received the instructions of the last waking moment left in the subconscious, and began a new change again:

The point of light of the starry sky illusion slowly spread to the surroundings, and the point of light in the center slowly radiated and diffused back to the circle, but no matter how scattered, there were always enough points of light in the center - this is an objective description, standing in Tang Tang's subjective position, it is very simple, and it feels like he has begun to move forward. It feels like you're finally starting to travel to the distant stars, or explore.

Since this change appeared, Tang Tang's attention seemed to have received a new stimulus, and he began to center on the midpoint of the vision fantasy, slowly closing little by little.

In the dark, he had an intuition that the answer he wanted to find was ahead!

It's in the depths of the starry sky ahead!

It's clear, it's slowly clear!

Sober up, sober up slowly!

Tang Tang's attention regathered, and his active consciousness returned.

He finally saw the vision ahead of him, and finally found the answer he was looking for.

"Ahh It turned out to be ......" Tang Tang's heart couldn't help but exclaim.

……

At breakfast time the next day, in the cafeteria, the three good friends met again.

"I never thought of it! This game is actually quite emotional! The game was unexpectedly powerful, and Tang Tang also felt that his face was bright: "I was only going to try it a little, but I didn't expect to be able to stop at all and accidentally play all night!" Plus a full evening of self-study. Thankfully, there was no class last night. By the way, what kind of starry sky map do you see? What characters were generated in the end? ”

"What starry sky map?" The lazy dragon said he didn't understand.

"A starry sky map? Oh, I'm sorry I named it without permission. It's just that after entering the game at the beginning, isn't it pure black back to Rijing, and the next light spots continue to appear and disappear one by one? I feel like the starry sky in the universe...... Such a feeling. ”

"Is there a spot of light? Isn't it a line? The lazy dragon said something was strange.

"What lines? Isn't it a point of light? Tang Tang was also a little strange: "Anyway, what did you see after the game started?" ”

"I saw the lines keep appearing, and then it felt like a painting, a little familiar, and when I looked closely, the lines were blurry again, I couldn't see clearly, and then I slowly got dazed and wanted to sleep, unconsciously, I don't know how long I was sleepy, and those lines stabilized at some point, and finally I saw what the painting was."

"Huh? Is that the case? How so? What I'm seeing here are all the dots of light. Saying that, Tang Tang also briefly described the scene he saw after the game started.

"The process was a little similar: we all fell asleep for a while. Could it be that this is a necessary process to get into the game? What is the situation when you enter the game without any time? Did you doze off in the middle? Tang Tang turned around and asked Jingkong. Although Jingkong generally rarely speaks, at this time, multiple people refer to it as more than 50% more information, and the cost performance is very high.

"Dozey? I seem to be confused in the middle. Jingkong nodded, and then continued to drink the mung bean porridge spoonful.

"So what do you see? Point or line? ”

"This?" Jingkong thought about it: "It's hard to describe......"

"Neither a point nor a line?"

"So to speak......"

"What is it?"

Jingkong thought about it, and finally said: "I don't know how to describe it." ”

"Forget it." Tang Tang was disappointed and buried himself in eating noodles. As if to compensate, I suddenly heard Jingkong say:

"I'm a little guessing why you see a different start screen, though."

"Do you know why?" Tang Tang came to be interested.

"Feeling dots and lines are imagery that symbolize the most fundamental part of your worldview: the primitives that make up your conscious world."

Tang Tang Lazy Dragon said that he was not aware of it.

"Tang Tang, yours is a point, an atom, an isolated individual. If you carefully organize your worldview, you may find yourself an atomist or an elementalist.

The lazy dragon is a line, a connection, and a continuous individual. It feels like a causalist, or something, like a string theorist or something. ”

"Ahaha. Can't you see it? How do you know I've been studying string theory for twenty years? The lazy dragon smiled proudly, and patted Tang Tang on the shoulder by the way: "Tang Tang, try to transform your worldview!" There's almost a century between your atomism and my string theory! ”

Tang Tang also looked a little depressed.

"There is no such thing. You may have misunderstood something. A dot is just a dot and a line is just a line. Whether it is atomic theory or string theory, they are all concrete theoretical products. There may be a difference in the age of the products of the theories, but the prototypes that generate these theories are only the differences in type.

For example, the basic unit that constitutes the world of consciousness, the basic unit of this concept, is a simple projection of the concept of atoms. And the concept of projection is one side of the concept of connection.

For example, the initial understanding of atomists or elementalists is that the world is composed of the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, or metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, or, even, only water, or fire. Later, in alchemy and chemical experiments, through continuous decomposition, they succeeded in decomposing the incomprehensible, that is, the ideal indivisible unit, the legendary atom. Unfortunately, it turned out that it could still be broken down into different units. Later, the nucleus, which was considered the basic unit, was found to be able to continue to decompose into protons, neutrons, and the like.

However, none of this matters. Because the atom in the atomist theory is the basic unit that makes up the world in the end, which cannot be divided again. Since the so-called 'atom' discovered by chemistry can continue to be divided, then this atom is just a conventional code, and is no longer an atom in the theory of atomists. In recent centuries, physicists have tirelessly dismantled microscopic particles, which can also be said to be the obsessive pursuit of the ideal 'atom' by atomists.

In the atomist's worldview, once the real 'atom' is found and the properties of the real 'atom' are clarified, all that remains is to build the whole world like bricks on this basis. The world is as simple as that.

But this is of no use - this is the view of people who have the primitives of the world of consciousness as threads. Because, in their view, the point is not at all in the individual but in the connection between the individuals......"

The mirror is empty and talking.

Tang Tang Lazy Dragon was dumbfounded.

"Hey, he's really the one who has no space? I just said at least a hundred times more than I have ever said since I met him! ”

"It can't be possessed by something strange, right?"

The two exchanged ears.
