Chapter 26: Omissions
"Impossible, Mr. Yuyun." I was a little incredulous, "In another timeline, you once pulled Huan Ping and said that you wanted to drink two glasses ......"
Yuyun explained to me: "I can't guarantee anything about other timelines, but generally speaking, when I say drink two cups, I mean drinking milk tea." I prefer to drink milk tea, and it should be the same in other timelines. β
How is this possible?
How is this possible?
What does this mean?
I need to think calmly.
First of all, although sometimes dreaming, I dream about things from different timelines. But in general, people are not confused about reality and dreams.
Secondly, Yuyun doesn't drink at all, so it's impossible to explain to the students that the reason for his name change is drinking. And there is only one possibility that Yuyun can make such an explanation, and that is what I told him. He found this explanation very interesting, so he used it in the future.
Based on the above two points, it can be divided into two situations according to the order of the timeline.
The first possibility is that my original timeline has already happened, and this conversation between me and Yuyun has also happened. But in another timeline, a third person goes back in time, washing away this conversation. And because the third party didn't know that Yuyun was based on this conversation with me, he decided to change his name. In the original timeline, Yuyun also changed his name, but he just felt that the original name was not good. The third party mistakenly explained the name change of another timeline and used it in the timeline I was in.
But there is a chicken-and-egg problem with such an explanation. Without a third party explaining the reason for Yuyun's name change, I won't say this to Yuyun. Without me talking to Yuyun about this, Yuyun wouldn't have explained the reason for his name change to a third party.
Why do I still not reject this explanation? Because going back in time itself is a question of chicken or egg. It's like delaying a selection experiment, forcibly tracing the earliest state of a photon, as much as forcibly finding out what the source of this explanation is.
The second explanation is that it is a temptation for me. For some reason, I was exposed to another timeline, and my relationship with Yuyun was suspected by a third party. If a third party can get a similar answer from Yuyun's mouth, it means that time regression has indeed happened to me. But what's the use of a third party knowing? Does it mean that the third party has an earlier time backtracking point? Or is the current timeline the result he is satisfied with, so I can have these memories?
When you think about it, there are still some logical holes in this interpretation. For example, what if Yuyunbet's timeline decides not to follow my explanation? Or is this third party already verifying this matter through time backtracking, and every time he tells me this information, it is just to verify when I have gone back this time? Doesn't that go back to the chicken-and-egg problem?
But no matter what kind of conjecture, there is a common conclusion. This timeline has happened with an earlier time backer, a person I just defined as a third person. If the earliest time rewind point of this third party is more than 16 years earlier, then it is meaningless for me to go back in time, and the current stage victory will be gone.
But what is almost certain is that in the original 22-year timeline I was in, before I took the initiative to go to the office to find Yuyun, Yuyun didn't talk to me about time backtracking at all. Therefore, at least in that timeline, Yuyun would not have made such an absurd explanation at all.
So, the key question now is: In the 22-year timeline, who told me about Yuyun's name change due to drinking?
It was as if I had suddenly figured out something.
At half past eleven in the evening, I returned to the door of the civilian laboratory. The experimenters are gone, and the doors of the laboratory are closed. I sneaked in through the window and could see that the light was still on in the separate office of the civil soldiers. The office door was closed, and only a small window on the door could be seen inside. I quietly approached the door, and I heard the voice of Wen Bing coming from inside: "So according to my analysis at this stage, it is like this-"
I peeked through the small glass window in the doorway to see Wen Bing talking to a man sitting on the ground. The man had no legs, and many wires and circuit boards were exposed through the base of his thighs. It seems that this is also an artificial intelligence robot. Unlike me, it's a complete tin machine. The upper body is wrapped in a very real skin. When I saw his appearance, as I expected, it was Yongqi!
I continued to listen to what Wen Bing said to Yongqi: "In the future, my experiment will definitely be successful, but no one will complete it so much earlier than me." So according to my judgment, it is very likely that he is an artificial intelligence similar to yours created by Yu Mad. However, he was clever and didn't tell me the real way to go back in time. But his words still reveal a lot of information.
First of all, he emphasized that he should be in a state of tension, which is clearly that there is no silver three hundred taels here, and I preliminarily judged that time regression needs to enter a state of relaxation first. Secondly, he said that with enough computing power in the brain, he can imagine the future. But he was visibly shocked by my direct promise to stop the experiment, indicating that he didn't know what was going to happen when he met with me. And he can't predict the future, but he dares to swagger into my lab, not afraid of me jumping off the wall, I can only explain that he can go back in time with memories, which is also consistent with my reasoning in 2013. And he didn't carry any tools or instruments, which shows that the method of time rewind is not complicated. Unless he has AI allies who can go back in time, or his time rewind method is not in our system at all. If these possibilities are ruled out, based on the conclusions of our previous research, his uncomplicated method of time regression, and which is guaranteed to be done in a short time, is likely to be the kind of self-hypnosis of the soul. I've probably got some ideas, you try it first, get into a relaxed state, and imagine a point in time in the pastβ"
Hearing this, I couldn't hold back any longer and pushed open the door of the lab. Wen Bing didn't have time to react, so I rushed to Yongqi and stepped on Yongqi's stomach with all my strength. With the sound of the circuit board breaking, Wen Bing finally reacted and rushed forward to stop me. Without any hesitation, I tried my best to make up for it several times, until Yongqi was completely motionless, and some circuit components were scattered from the root of my thighs.
It wasn't until this moment that Wen Bing finally took off his disguise of being calm and collapsed on the ground. This time, he truly realized that there was no hope for him. All these years of hard work, or his decades of pursuit of eternal life, have been in vain because of my few kicks.
He just sat on the ground, unable to say a word for a long time.
In order to dispel his hopes, I opened my mouth first: "Looking at your performance, it doesn't look like there is a second eternal rider." In this timeline, there is no longer a time backhand that is earlier than mine. I'm not stupid enough to go back in time to any point in time earlier than November 2, 2019, so with your wisdom, you should have figured out the meaning of this sentence, right? β
Wen Bing was silent for a long time before he spoke: "You call him Yongqi, which means that in the future, he will succeed in going back time, and my experiment will also be successful." Otherwise, I wouldn't have given him the ability to walk, and you wouldn't have known him. β
"Can this tin machine also have the ability to rewind time?"
"Absolutely." Wen Bing explained to me, "In my research system, time regression is to retrace the soul, and the essence of the soul is memory. So who stipulates that the carrier of memory must be the human brain? If you ask this, it means that you are also an artificial intelligence that realizes time regression through the setting of active thinking code, but your memory carrier is still the human brain. If you could figure out such a simple question, you should have been created sooner. Do you want to know in what year I created the Eternal Ride? β
"I can see your confidence, you should be earlier than me."
Wen Bing nodded: "It's 2013." I created the Eternal Ride and then told the madness about my experimental plan. I had a slight idea that the madness might not be willing to work with me. If he had thought of this method to stop my research at that time, it would have been 2016 at the earliest. In the future, I'm still arrogant, and if I thought that Crazy would have such a hole card, I should have asked Yongqi to bring back the results of the time-rewind experiment to 2013 as soon as possible, instead of waiting for all the experiments to be completed. β
"When I created it, don't probe me. However, the timeline of 2019 is likely not to be the first time. In other words, Yongqi doesn't know for what purpose, and went back at least before November 1, 2019. But you don't actually get any useful information, and you still lose out to the artificial intelligence created by Yuyun, even if it's just a university professor who doesn't understand what a soul is. I added to the soldiers.
"For what purpose he went back in time earlier than today, and didn't tell me that he had succeeded in going back in time, I have no way of knowing. I don't know what the rules of your AI algorithm follow, but my algorithm will always choose the optimal solution and unconditionally stand on my side. Usually disguise yourself as a human in the best way, and choose the best solution when you encounter a decision. So he must have a reason for doing this. But your kick really kicked off all my hopes in this timeline. Wen Bing sighed, and after a moment of silence, he said to me, "I have only been doing one thing in my life. But I ended up failing. I don't know what the philosophy you follow is, be sure to stop me. Would you like to hear my story if you could? β
"I want to hear about it."
