Chapter 7: False Reincarnation
"Asuka, are you in a bad mood right now?" Ian asked.
"Who said that?" Asuka pouted.
"Well, if I may, I'd like to ask a question." Ian asked, "Do you think people can foresee the future and manipulate the past from the future?" ”
"Huh? Are you going to write science fiction? What is the point of such a question. Asuka hugged her chest.
"I just want to ask your opinion, after all, you know more than I do, and you're much smarter."
Asuka squinted at Ian and said lightly: "Impossible, there are still some possibilities for such a thing as predicting the future, but manipulating the past from the future is pure fantasy." ”
"A long time ago, some scientists put forward the paradox, if that person, traveled to the past, before he was born, killed his father, mother, grandfather and other direct ancestors, then this person will not be born, if he is not born, no one will kill his ancestors, this is an unavoidable knot, so the scientific community believes that the past will not be changed."
"Does that make sense," Ian thought, "but what if that person was modifying planes?" If he just wants what happens in a certain period of time, and follows the flow he wants, repeating that time over and over again, is it possible? ”
"You mean, it's the cycle of time?"
"Yes."
"You... Is the dream of becoming a science fiction writer? Asuka looked at him, "I've thought about this question for a while before, what a coincidence. ”
"That's... Can you tell me what the result of your thinking was? ”
"Nope."
"What?"
"I said no, I don't think true reincarnation is possible." Asuka crossed her hands: "It is impossible to change the past, only the future can be changed, but there may be false reincarnation." ”
"False reincarnation, what does that mean?"
"That is to say, in every reincarnation, when that person jumps back to the beginning of the story, he does not jump back to the past, but starts a new story again."
"Sounds so hard to understand..."
"Have you seen the movie?"
"Yes."
"Fake reincarnation is equivalent to putting movie tape in a video recorder and playing it a second time, a third time, although each time it plays the same content, but it is not a return to the past, I think time is linear, it will not be interrupted or go back to the past, the present is the present, only the moment I feel is real, and it is the end of the progress."
"Meaning, when that person jumps back in time, it's actually the present? What he did was just play the second movie, not back to the first time he played the movie? ”
"There's no way to prove it, but I think so."
"So what is real for the characters in reincarnation?"
"What is true is a proposition that cannot be proven." Asuka stroked the hair hanging down her ears: "What people can prove is only their own thinking." ”
"I think, therefore I am..."Ian seemed to understand something: "Finally, I want to ask one more thing, if the person who can predict the future sees a person in reincarnation who has never seen before, will he find a way to wipe out that person?" ”
"I can't do it."
Asuka's figure in the mirror gradually blurred, and her voice became weaker.
"He can't manipulate the past, he can only affect the present and the future..."
"Really... I understand! Thank you, Asuka, this has helped me a lot! ”
...
"Ian! Get up! It's already noon! ”
Ian heard a knock on the door, opened his eyes in a daze, rubbed his temples, opened the door, and saw the cook bring lunch.
"I'm sorry for you, Uncle Mitte." Ian took the plate from the chef.
"It's just a small thing." The chef patted him on the shoulder, gave him a thumbs up, and left.
Ian sat in a chair with a plate of ham, and a small bunch of purple grapes for lunch, and after eating, he washed his face, went to the butler, and went with the butler to Hesteria's room for lessons.
During class, he kept thinking about Alan.
According to Asuka's theory, if this is the first time that he has participated in a false reincarnation, then the "Ai Dao" who knows his existence has not yet been born, so naturally there is no such thing as changing the past in the future.
"Ai Dao" cannot affect the past, he can only change the process in the next future.
In this case, Ian should be safe, and as long as he lives until the day when all the giants are gone, he will see the sun tomorrow normally.
As for Ai Dao, if he is not satisfied with the process this time and goes back and reopens, Ian at that time and Ian now are not the same person.
Sounds a little complicated, going around and around.
All in all, try to have as little contact with Ai Dao as possible, or... Come up with a way that Ai Dao can accept and let the people of Paradis Island survive.
Does that exist?
Wait a minute... It doesn't seem impossible...
The fundamental reason why Ai Dao launched the earth roar was that the weapons of the outside world had evolved too quickly, and in a few decades, the super-large giant might not be the opponent of cannons and planes, so he had no choice but to launch the earth roar before the end of his life and give the people outside a threat, otherwise one day, his friends and hometown would be flattened by the combined army.
But... What if the technology of Paradis Island transcends the outside world by several levels?
If Paradis Island develops a nuclear bomb, develops a warplane and a fleet, and has a military power far beyond the world...
In that case, wouldn't it be possible to achieve "nuclear leveling"?
It may sound impossible, but... That was impossible for Alan and the original Paradis Island.
For Ian, he has Asuka as a plug-in!
If he can meet Asuka in a dream in the future, if he can learn about nuclear bombs from Asuka and how to make airplanes and ships... It is possible to make Paradis Island's military strength the largest in the world.
But... To achieve this goal, great difficulties need to be overcome.
After all, no matter how happy he was, he was now just a small slave on a remote farm.
Building a nuclear bomb is not something that a slave can do.
It requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources, a high level of industry, and a sufficient reserve of scientists and engineers, which can only be created with the efforts of the whole country.
Unless, one day, he can grasp the military power and the right to speak on Koh Phra, it will be possible to do such a thing.
And the time was tight, and it had to be done within a few years.
From the breaching of the Wall of Mary to the declaration of war on Paradis Island, the time between the breach of the Wall of Mary and the declaration of war on Paradis Island will not exceed ten years.
He estimated that he might only have ten years to accomplish this ultimate goal.
Although it was difficult, after careful consideration, he decided to make the core something he had to work hard to accomplish.
Because he doesn't know if he is in the script of "Ai Dao", but if his goal is the same as that of "Ai Dao", then the future "Ai Dao" will not bother to get rid of him, and maybe he will come back to help him.
After all, compared to Diming, making Phra Island really strong is the most perfect and correct solution.
