Chapter 103: Reversing the Theory of Relativity
Zhang Zicheng guessed correctly, although the other party had hunted a lot of wild boars in the past two days, he also dragged large pieces of meat into his space-time pocket and ate a lot of barbecue.
But the most important substance in the human diet is carbohydrate after all. When a person can only eat meat every day, then her craving for steamed buns will far exceed the average person's craving for meat.
The instant noodles are all industrially explicit and indescribably delicious for anyone who eats them for the first time.
However, Zhang Zicheng looked at her gobbling up posture, sighed, and said in his heart that he was indeed a 100% pure-blooded human.
The so-called eyes are larger than normal, but they are more like hungry and out of phase.
Finally, after the sound of snorting, Konghuan puffed out his cheeks and said, "Where do you start...... There are so many things that I can't understand for a while. ”
"Don't worry, you speak slowly." Zhang Zicheng said that he had time.
So when the sun gradually rose in the sky, in the hours of narration and Q&A, both men obtained sufficient information about each other's planets.
The home planet of the civilization where the Sky Ring is located is called the Heart of the Milky Way, because they had the concept of the Milky Way shortly after they began to develop astronomy. It's just that for various religious and humanistic reasons, they directly upgraded from the geocentric theory to the silver heart theory, and maintained it for hundreds of years, until even if both theories were overthrown, the name of the planet became a recognized term, and it was not good to replace it rashly.
The place where the empty ring lives is a satellite of the planet Silverheart, named Pan, which is also the reason why the empty ring calls itself the Pan people. Pan is also slightly different from Yinxin, most of the place is like a dialect, only a few nouns and verbs are different.
However, this is not important, the important thing is that the development route of the other party's civilization is, in Zhang Zicheng's opinion, very strange......
Their home planet was unified early on, that is, there was a country with abundant martial virtues that used advanced military power to dominate the world directly before the invention of nuclear-weapon-like technology.
The reason why this was done without the same colonization as on Earth was also for religious reasons...... In their past religions, there was not only the arrogance of believing that they were the center of the whole galaxy, but also the yearning for a theory similar to the great unification of Chinese Confucianism.
For the clerical state that once occupied the whole world, population, land, and wealth, although important, the most important thing is to eliminate all other ideas and sects that oppose it. And this kind of thing cannot be done by relying solely on colonization, and can only be slowly digested after complete annexation.
When Zhang Zicheng heard this, he was a little surprised: "Since your planet is unified, it is still a complete theocracy, so why have you said for a long time, I haven't heard you mention the name of this religion once, and your name for the gods?" ”
Konghuan said indifferently: "Because the rule of that sect has been completely overthrown." In order not to create similar problems again, their names have been erased, and there are only various pronouns. ”
The more Zhang Zicheng listened, the more strange it became, and he always felt that there were some common sense in it that the other party thought everyone else understood, but in fact, it was only common sense in the other party's culture.
It's as if in my common sense, religion and technology are completely mutually exclusive, and for this, the empty ring feels inexplicable.
"Strange, doesn't the religion of your planet say that the universe was created entirely by gods?" Konghuan's face was full of confusion.
Zhang Zicheng was also confused: "Say, it's just that basically the interpretation of religion to the world has been updated with the progress of science, but because tampering with the scriptures itself is a sin, it is becoming more and more difficult for them to justify themselves, and there are fewer and fewer people who believe in it, what do you say there?" ”
Konghuan immediately snapped his fingers and said, "In our eliminated religion, they say that in this universe, all logic, matter, cause and effect, mathematics, time and space, etc., are all designed by the gods. To study these natural sciences is to receive the wisdom of the gods. Only by learning all the wisdom that the gods have thrown on the world can you know the purpose of the gods in doing all this. ”
So, in our ancient culture, the more learned people were, the more they were considered to be close to the wisdom of the gods. All religious fanatics are also masters of advancing science and technology...... What about yours? Konghuan asked curiously.
Zhang Zicheng said a little bit about the content of the earth's sect with a strange face.
Konghuan looked incredulous: "Huh? How can your religion allow an ordinary person to codify and try to explain everything, and then burn at the stake those who study science and overthrow dogma? This...... That's stupid, isn't it? Wouldn't that burn a whole bunch of people every year? ”
"Ahem...... This is only the case in extreme cases, and the burning is for other reasons, not all because of the study of something that is contrary to the Bible. Zhang Zicheng still explained.
Konghuan didn't care about this, she tilted her head and wondered: "Not to mention the others, your classics actually came up and tried to determine the time when the universe was born, the time when human beings appeared?" Won't this be nakedly slapped in the face in the future? This vain attempt to draw conclusions on behalf of God will only become more and more complete with the in-depth understanding of nature, right? ”
She covered her forehead and suddenly sighed: "I see, no wonder you think that religion and science are opposites, and it is indeed natural to come to the step of overthrowing religion with the development of science...... I really envy you, we didn't get to this stage until we all started colonizing the satellites. ”
Konghuan said, breathing a long sigh of relief, shrugged and said, "But ...... It is precisely because of this that your planet is fragmented, and it is not possible to unify and concentrate on development, but I don't know whether it is good or bad. ”
Zhang Zicheng was also a little speechless, in the eyes of others, it turned out to be the development route of the earth is strange.
However, Zhang Zicheng still understands the religion of the earth relatively well, like the core concept mentioned by the empty ring, although it can be patched with the development of the times, but it is not attractive to ordinary people in ancient times.
What people want is a verdict, a result, a dogma that can be believed forever without burden, without doubt, without pressure, and from now on without having to go through any pain of knowledge renewal. And this is even secondary, the main thing is to comfort people, to feel that after death, they can come to a world that is countless times happier than the painful reality.
Therefore, in comparison, it is still the development route of the empty ring, which relies more on coincidences - people who happen to believe in their core concept have established a technological advantage from the very beginning, and then along with this belief in natural science, they have continued to develop, and continue to maintain the advantage of crushing the level to snowball, which finally caused this result.
"But the question is, why should your religion be overthrown when it is so harmless and so development-oriented?"
Zhang Zicheng really didn't understand, since the other party's ancient religion did not have any rigid and unchangeable dogmas, and there was only a harmless view that 'with scientific progress can we get closer to God', then why should it be overturned?
The empty ring rolled his eyes: "Harmless? Are you sure? Do you know how I got to be a child? ”
It turned out that she had lived in a parish school that had been socialized for as long as she could remember, and had never met her mother...... In fact, she even wondered if she was a genetic child born from a mechanical womb.
And where she is, the whole responsibility of all minors, is to study in time other than sleeping. Yes, even at mealtime, it is also necessary to learn the molecular composition formula of what substance is allowed to eat.
"It's just like training a dog......," Zhang Zicheng complained secretly in his heart.
Even sleep, with the improvement of genes, has been reduced from 8 hours to 3 hours.
Because of this, for Konghuan, when she begged Zhang Zicheng for mercy, she had nothing to do, and she could only exchange the knowledge in her head for the capital of her life.
However, Zhang Zicheng suddenly discovered a blind spot: "Wait, didn't you say that you have overthrown that religion?" Why are you still being forced to study so avidly? ”
"Because it's already very relaxing...... Konghuan said, shivering all over, "At least, if you don't do well in the exam, you will be considered disrespectful to the wisdom of the gods, and you will be exiled directly to the mining area, or do that...... Those menial jobs are better ......"
Zhang Zicheng opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't say anything.
He could only complain in his heart: What is the ultimate enhanced version of the college entrance examination hell that accompanies a lifetime.
Such a social environment is obviously pushed up with generations of fanatics.
But it was able to push until the colonization of the satellites began, and it was completely rolled up to the explosion, even if this snowball rolled really strongly, I am afraid that it was solid, and it was a thousand years of cold ice inside.
So in the end, it turns out that the other party is a little sister who is tired of learning?
Zhang Zicheng's gaze instantly became strange, and when he looked at the other party's eyes, he had changed from a mysterious visitor from an alien civilization to a rotten person who ran to the deep mountains and old forests to hunt and play in the wilderness to survive because he was tired of studying.
"Okay, after talking about your civilization, then how did you come to Earth?"
I have communicated so much with the empty ring before, and most of them are general generalizations of civilization between each other. Zhang Zicheng thinks that he has summarized very poorly, and the details are seriously missing, but he estimates that the other party is similar. Anyway, this thing, just know about it.
What we really need to pay attention to, in addition to the current knowledge in the empty ring's mind, is how that space-time pocket came to Earth.
Konghuan shrugged: "Well...... Since you don't have a technical background on this planet, I still have to start with some common sense, don't you mind? ”
Of course, Zhang Zicheng doesn't mind, and is even happy to listen to more details of non-earth culture.
As the two communicated, Konghuan became more and more casual, and he didn't have the slightest worry about his situation.
If it was before, Zhang Zicheng might feel that the other party had a big heart, but as he understood, he estimated that for Konghuan, as long as it was not a specific injury, then any environment would be better than studying in his hometown, so he could be so comfortable in such a humble environment.
"First of all, can you understand the speed of light?" Konghuan asked.
Zhang Zicheng nodded: "I know this." ”
Konghuan suddenly said happily: "Then it's easy to say, since you know the speed of light, then you must know that the speed of light cannot be transgressed, and there is almost no way to create a faster-than-light spaceship, you also know this?" ”
Zhang Zicheng was speechless: "Although our application technology has just been able to land on the moon, and then it has been held back by various political systems and ideologies. But our theories also at least know the approximate time of the universe's travels, the Milky Way, the superclusters, and our relative distances, and have managed to take pictures of black holes in previous years. What other nonsense about supersymmetry, dark matter, quantum, and so on that I don't understand at all, but at least don't think of earthlings as natives who don't understand anything, okay? ”
Originally, Zhang Zicheng was just complaining casually, in his opinion, even if the earth has so many theoretical discoveries, it is estimated that it is far from enough to casually say the existence of controllable nuclear fusion.
Who knew that the empty ring was surprised instead: "Huh? What dark matter? Quantum? What are you talking about? ”
Zhang Zicheng raised his eyebrows, he said these words according to the translation of the system, if it is a noun that does not exist in the other party's language, how does the system translate it?
The system explains: [Literally, dark matter, is directly a mixture of the words dark and matter. 】
It's okay.
However, Zhang Zicheng looked at the other party's surprised appearance, but raised his eyebrows, pointed the laptop on the table towards him, searched for speculations about dark matter, and related entries in quantum theory, and translated them to the empty ring.
After listening to it, the empty ring was silent for a moment and sighed: "Although our application technology is very developed...... But this ...... Such deviant speculation, without any actual basis, is rare in our civilization. Although there are also theorists, they are not so bold as to question that everything in this universe is random......"
Zhang Zicheng has some understanding.
It seems that no matter what religion it is, it will still have some imprisoning on people's minds...... On Earth, there is no pressure or risk for the emergence of any doctrine, for example, those who firmly believe in the Horizon Theory, and so far no supporters of the Horizon Theory have been burned to death.
After all, even on the planet, every country has different politically correct topics. The racial jokes that can be made at will in China are all kinds of shouting and shouting and killing when they go abroad. Therefore, in this regard, although Zhang Zicheng can't figure out how the other party's social atmosphere is formed, he can also understand a little bit.
It's empty, and his attitude is not as good as it was at the beginning, and he began to explain seriously.
"Due to the absolute impossibility of a light-speed spaceship, some priests have speculated that the gods do not want us to cross the distance of hundreds of thousands of light-years in the universe in this way."
"Because it didn't work vertically, we started to develop horizontally......"
"From this, the greatest formula of the new century was born, m=E/xc."
"With energy that can reach almost the speed of light, it can change its own space-time properties...... and thus to another universe. ”
Zhang Zicheng's heart was shocked.
To be honest, he had almost completely believed that the other party was an alien who had fled from this universe.
However, I didn't expect it...... In the final analysis, she still uses scientific means to achieve the 'traverser' who crosses parallel time and space and goes to other universes.
But that formula sounds familiar......
Zhang Zicheng thought about it slightly, and soon remembered the formula that was almost known to everyone.
E=mc?
it, inversely practice the theory of relativity?
