Chapter 166: The Extremes of Things Must Be Opposed
"It's so noisy outside the door, I thought the sound insulation in this room was so good." Lying on the bed, Roland looked at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling and muttered, "Are you ready to tell me everything?" ”
"Hmm." Fang Xiaoling nodded, "Sister, it's not that I don't want to tell you everything, it's just that the whole thing involves too much."
If I hadn't inherited the memories of the Rainbow Empress, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to comprehend all of this even in a lifetime of human beings. ”
"Then you'll make a long story short, I'm not interested in everything." Roland looked at her, "I only need you to answer me for two things.
First, what is the world where all people have no feet?
Second, when I was sixteen years old, who were the murderers of my parents? ”
"Everything Niu Houshi said is true, and that world is the real world, a unique world." Fang Xiaoling sighed lightly, sat on the edge of the bed and said, "I don't know if you have watched "The Matrix"? ”
"I haven't seen it." Roland replied decisively, "With that kind of time, I might as well meditate." ”
"Then you should have heard a story...... Fang Xiaoling saw Luo Lan frowning, and immediately said, "It's okay if you haven't heard it, I'll tell you a brief story now."
The story goes: the world of the future has become a desert, and everyone is left with only their brains, stored in instruments......"
"I understand what you mean." Roland interrupted her, "It's similar to a metaverse game, and I also learned a lot of related things from Niu Houshi." ”
"I also know you understand that the point of my story is not that the device makes people live in dreams." Fang Xiaoling said with a solemn expression, "The point is that all this happens in the future world.
The ZS series world is a data-based simulation of the real world.
The current time update has been advanced to December 21, 2145, which is the upper limit of all worlds that the traverser can traverse. ”
Roland was silent for a moment and asked, "I know about the time limit, but what does this have to do with the real world?" ”
"When my [High Self] first entered the Life Module, the real-world time was 12 o'clock on September 4, 3594, and the time of the [Little Self] World was 3.654 times the real-world time, which is the speed reached after countless versions of the Life Module." Fang Xiaoling looked at Roland, and at the same time listened carefully to Roland's heart with her [Purple Rhyme] ability.
Yu Mengying was not in a hurry to restore Roland's meridians, but she was also afraid that Roland would overreact.
After all, not everyone can afford to accept the truth.
At this time, Roland gradually realized these things, she tried her best to breathe steadily, and said, "I'm fine, you continue." ”
"From the moment we were born, the world was covered in sand and thick smoke.
As you know, humans have also evolved, and the wheels under their feet are not a technological tool, but genetic modification centuries ago.
People are born that way. Fang Xiaoling's eyes suddenly filled with tears, she wiped them with her hand, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry sister, every time I think of those past events, I ......"
"Remember? Wait Xiaoling, aren't you also a [little me]? Why is it as if you've experienced those things yourself? ”
"Because I'm the Rainbow Queen." Fang Xiaoling smiled and said, "This is the difference between the two of us, in fact, I ......
Sister, it's not important, don't you want to know about real-world things?
If we talk about everything, I'm afraid we're going to have to stay here for the rest of our lives.
In short, we can imagine the real world as a giant who, when he is dying, forgets the past of his youth.
So he wants to recreate his infant self in the simulator and watch that baby grow up little by little.
He just wanted to know how he had grown old. ”
Roland asked thoughtfully, "You mean, this is the meaning of the existence of the life module?" ”
Fang Xiaoling nodded, "That's right, we humans want to know why we are the way we are and why the world is the way we are. ”
"That's ridiculous...... In order to learn history, do you need to get a history simulator and run in and experience it for yourself? Roland felt incredulous, "Is that necessary?" Can't you read history books? ”
Fang Xiaoling didn't speak, just shook her head slowly.
"Don't tell me there are no history books in the real world?" Roland asked incredulously, "When technology is so advanced that life capsules can be built, can't there be some machine or program to store the history of the past?" ”
"Now there is." Fang Xiaoling said with some smugness, "The Akashic recording program is also a historical recording program that only existed after the appearance of the life module.
Until then, there was almost zero historical information we knew. ”
"This ...... It's illogical, right? If people don't know anything about history, how can they create such a ...... as a life capsule?"
"It's because of logic that the world is harmed like that!" Fang Xiaoling suddenly interrupted Luo Lan's words angrily, and after shouting these words, she realized that her tone was wrong, and after calming down, she said, "Sister, since I have promised to tell you everything.
I will never deliberately deceive you.
As long as we can get past the hurdle at the end of time, one day, the whole team will know the whole truth. ”
She took a deep breath and continued, "The level of technology in the main world in 2145 is not much different from that in the real world in 3594.
The parallel world of ZS002 in 2145 has created a machine that allows all humans to enter the game world.
Do you know what that means?
The world of the ego is a simulation of history, which means that for the next thousand years, the world's technological level will basically not make any progress.
The future generations of mankind will enjoy unlimited enjoyment after the development of science and technology has reached a supreme level. ”
"Infinite enjoyment? What is this word? ”
"Have you ever heard of involution?"
"Heard it, don't those students and office workers always say this word?"
"Have you ever heard of anxiety?"
Hearing this, Roland nodded slightly, "This is a common word." ”
"Then you've heard of lying flat, right?"
"Good sister, what do you want to say?"
"I want to say that the extremes of things must be reversed.
When it is rolled to a certain extent, there will definitely be people who can't stand it, look at it thoroughly, and choose to lie flat.
Now it seems that the speed of development of technology is also the same.
It's almost to a certain point, but it suddenly stagnates. Fang Xiaoling stood up, walked to Yu Mengying's desk and picked up an unsharpened pencil, "In the year 2145 of the main world, the auction price of this pencil was 26 billion coins. ”
