The End of Technology - Chapter 275 The Indescribable Star Territory

For Ning Zi, if the other party is talkative, it is obviously good news.

For intelligent creatures, as long as they are willing to communicate, no matter what method they use, they can always reveal more information.

The bad news is that Ning Zi doesn’t know if the spacecraft still has a recording function at this time. After all, the other party can directly invade the holographic system of the spacecraft, which also means that the other party can directly control the spacecraft. Naturally, all records of conversations between the two can be erased.

So Ning Zi could only maintain high concentration to carry out this conversation.

So after the other party finished speaking, Ning Zi quickly asked the second simple question: “So where are we now?”

“If you use a coordinate system to answer it, you will obviously not be satisfied. Ning Zi, but if you explain it, it is actually difficult. You can call it an entrance.”

“Entrance? Where’s the entrance?”

“Of course it’s my world.”

Ning Zi thought for a while, then asked another question: “Okay, then does your world belong to the universe I live in?”

“Haha, isn’t this one of your guesses before you choose to come to the appointment? Well, I have to admit that I read the little guy’s storage, but the answer can be said to be yes, or it can be said to be no. It is difficult for me to use you The language allows you to understand the concept.”

Obviously this answer is not that satisfying.

“Can you think of a way to make me understand?” Ning Zi turned into a curious baby and asked.

The holographic simulation shrugged, and after a very human movement, he explained patiently: “This is indeed a very challenging thing, but first you need to understand the definition of the universe. This is indeed difficult. I Although I am very patient, it is very troublesome to talk about it from the most basic things. To put it simply, in your understanding, the universe is a container, but in my understanding, the universe is like a Klein bottle .

Use your academic language to describe it, that is, the universe is a non-directional body, with no distinction between the inside and the outside, so I cannot accurately define whether this is your so-called universe. In the same way, one of the basic rules of the universe in your definition is that, except for medium space, the speed of light is the upper limit of the speed of the universe.

But in fact, if I can make a stick with a length of about one light-year, and the rigidity of this stick reaches the extreme, which means that the transmission of force is instantaneous and will not slow down due to the distance between particles, then theoretically when I When you move one end of the stick slightly, the other end of the stick will react immediately. Look, does this mean I can easily exceed the speed of light? “

Ning Zi frowned and retorted: “But there won’t be such a light-speed stick, and even if there was, it would be impossible to shake it. It’s 100 million light-years long and absolutely rigid. How big is its mass?”

A smile appeared on the mouth of the holographic simulation: “Look, this is the limitation of your understanding. Your thinking is still solidified within the scope of your cognition, thereby denying what may exist. But I agreed, and soon It will allow you to see such a light speed stick with your own eyes and then shake it, which is actually very ordinary.”

All right……

For the first time, Ning Zi felt the lack of knowledge. But it also gave him infinite hope.

So the next simple question that has been lingering in his mind blurted out: “So have civilizations in the universe been recorded? If so, how were they recorded?”

“Haha, this question is not too complicated for me, but it is a bit complicated for you. The answer is yes, but the recording patterns are extremely diverse. In layman’s terms, it means running in both directions. Your genes, stars Everything is a recorder. When genes meet the right environment, a similar civilization can be born. Of course, this is only the simplest recording method.

You can’t see it because your thinking is still limited to the big framework that the universe cannot be transcended. When you jump out of the universe and look at the universe again, the answer will become very clear. But it’s hard to do that, so I understand your ignorance. “

Ning Zi lowered her head slightly.

He could feel the condescending attitude hidden behind the approachable attitude of this virtual image. To be honest, it did make people feel uncomfortable.

But in fact, Ning Zi could tolerate the disdain expressed by the superior in his words. From a scientific point of view, it is normal for those who succeed first. What he couldn’t stand was the way the other person looked at him through the three-dimensional holographic simulation of the virtual image.

It’s hard to describe that feeling. How can I put it? He has an impression of that look, just like when he went to the zoo with his son and his son looked at the animals.

Yes, Ning Zi could be sure that the other party looked at him as if he were looking at a novel animal when solving doubts, without even trying to hide it.

Ning Zi can endure the other party’s contempt and even direct humiliation. But it was hard for him to bear this attitude of the other party at this time.

As if sensing Ning Zi’s displeasure, the other party just smiled, showing no displeasure and no other expression. He just said, “Okay, we’ve been chatting for a long time. Why don’t I take you to see my world first?” .”

“Yeah, but I want to see my March first.”

“Oh? It seems that this is an oversight on my part. When you arrive in a brand new place, of course you should be accompanied. This is indeed the characteristic of civilization born from the social model. In short, this is a very reasonable request, and I allow it.”

After saying that, the other party made a gesture of snapping his fingers, and the next moment the kitten, which had been paralyzed just there, suddenly moved. Then the whole cat jumped.

“Meow……”

Hearing this familiar cat meow, Ning Zi suddenly felt much more comfortable, and all the nervousness she had felt just now disappeared. As for the little resentment in the cry, Ning Zi ignored it. In fact, his emotions were much more complicated than this simple little resentment.

“Okay, your March is back. I think maybe you guys need some alone time. I’ll introduce it to you later… Well, in your words, it’s probably my hometown. See you later. Oh, by the way, Remember to turn on your holographic image of the outside world, your ship is about to come in.”

After saying that, before Ning Zi could respond, the holographic simulation figure suddenly flashed, and then the holographic call system automatically closed.

Ning Zi looked at March, and the kitten wagged its tail.

“Meow…he called me a little toy…and updated my core code.”

Well, in one sentence, Ning Zi worshiped the programming ability of the figure just now.

March’s core code is something he can’t touch yet because it’s too sophisticated. Just like the turbulence algorithm, one move affects the whole body. At least Ning Zi never had the idea of ​​touching the core code of March.

“Well, what then?”

“Meow, for example, I have mastered an extremely efficient compression algorithm, the singularity lossless compression method. After using this compression algorithm, my core code is only 2.3M, and my core program can still perform well under compression Run it. By the way, I have also compressed all the data inside the spacecraft. Now the storage space utilization of the spacecraft is only 0.21%.”

Ning Zi was stunned.

The core database part of March is actually not large, about 4.83GB. In other words, this person just casually updated the code in March and compressed the previous 4.83GB content to 2.3MB losslessly.

Although the guy just said something mysterious and mysterious, which makes people confused, but doing it is obviously more shocking than saying it.

This compression technology… is incredible.

After a long while, Ning Jie asked: “What’s the principle?”

“Meow, it can be understood as the way of information storage before the Big Bang. When all the mass is gathered at one point, it also means that all the information is compressed in an infinitely small space, and huge energy is also stored in At this infinitesimal point, the moment of explosion will produce a chain effect and release huge energy at the same time.

This algorithm is a reversible algorithm implemented using the Big Bang principle. Our information is stored and represented in binary form in the form of discrete information. The singularity algorithm transforms discrete information into the most basic particle state through mapping, transformation and reorganization, thereby achieving the purpose of compression. “

In other words, this compression algorithm can theoretically further compress information, but it is limited by our hardware technology on the spacecraft and can only compress it to this extent. If our hardware technology can be updated, this algorithm can theoretically be used to further compress information. The limit is probably to compress all the information on the earth from the beginning of electronic storage technology to the present to within 1G.

Of course I may be wrong about the limits. Because he has not updated my hardware, I currently have no way of knowing what the limits of storage hardware design are. After all, his updated algorithm is based on our hardware design logic. “

“Oh…” Ning Zi replied.

Then start operating on the onboard computer on the control tower.

As expected, the information database on the ship has been optimized, including the most important basic information database. Database addressing using the new algorithm is obviously more efficient. Obviously, this compression algorithm also comes with its own addressing function.

For a moment, Ning Zi felt an extremely ridiculous feeling in her heart.

If this compression algorithm alone was developed by someone on earth, he would probably become a god immediately, right? With this algorithm, Ning Zi even feels that its value cannot be measured in earth’s currency. Thinking that scientists on Earth have worked hard for more than ten years to develop various communication technologies just to increase bandwidth, Ning Zi feels a little unworthy of them.

If this kind of compression algorithm can be developed on earth and all efforts are made to conquer the hardware technology, not only can 8K high-definition videos be viewed on the 2G network, but the download speed will probably be comparable to that of the 6G era.

But at this time, he didn’t have time to study this technology in detail. After Ning Zi took a deep breath, he reopened the holographic image in the system on the main control computer.

Soon the projections around the spacecraft appeared, and everything was still dark.

But soon Ning Zi saw a few lights appearing where the bow of the spacecraft was pointing. This time, Ning Zi did not need to operate the computer. March directly started to control the computer and released the small deep space telescope that came with the spacecraft, and then Ignoring the surrounding darkness, I focused the camera on that bright spot.

The image quickly became clear. Well, Ning Zhi’s imaging speed was obviously faster. Such a fast imaging speed must not only support the update of the system’s underlying algorithm, because the laws of physics determine the speed at which this small deep space telescope can acquire images. There is an upper limit.

It can only be understood that the physical laws that govern this space may be different from the physical laws on earth. If we try to understand it forcefully, it is probably similar to some physical laws in medium space. But no matter what, Ning Zi finally saw the hometown of this unknown civilization…

That should be a star. There are two rings around the star, which is more clear. The two rings are like two strings of beads, composed of spheres. All these spheres are connected in the middle…

Suddenly, Ning Zi felt that she had found the reason why this star field was so empty. When all the matter in the galaxy is sorted into suitable positions around the star to form a habitable zone, all matter around the galaxy is naturally cleared.

The benefits are obvious. The light energy emitted by the star is utilized to the maximum extent. This is definitely a more radical way of using energy than the Dyson sphere, and has even exceeded the limit of Ning Zi’s imagination.

After all, in the future he plans for the earth, it is nothing more than starting to transform habitable planets before reaching a galaxy, moving the planets to suitable positions, just like moving Enceladus; or using artificial heat sources to create a planet. A habitable planet, just like the Mars transformation plan.

But this is different. The matter in the galaxy is directly reorganized and stacked into the habitable zone around the star. Then these spheres are allowed to rotate without being affected by each other, fully absorbing the light and heat brought by the star, and increasing the energy usage rate. to the highest.

What’s even more frightening is that when the camera shifted, Ning Zi discovered that the scene around each halo that appeared in the camera was the same, a star with a ring composed of many planets…

Countless asteroids surround the star, and these asteroids seem to be physically connected by something…

Of course, the asteroids mentioned here are only relative terms. Ning Zi glanced at the imaging magnification displayed by the system and could easily calculate that the asteroids he saw at this time were at least three times the size of the Earth.

Really, Ning Zi’s brain was completely confused at this time.

This was completely contrary to many attempts at physics that he had been exposed to.

Why didn’t a black hole form when so much matter was packed so densely?

How heavy should the gravity of these planets be?

How do they operate in such an orderly manner?

Do gravitational waves really not interfere with each other?

He even suspected that what he saw at this time was an illusion…

But at this moment, a familiar voice intervened: “How about it? These are all amusement parks carefully designed by me, including a zoo, a botanical garden, a comprehensive garden, a deduction garden…”

“So you are the legendary god?”

“God? Well… Actually I don’t like this title very much. Because the so-called divine creatures recorded in your civilization should be found in my zoo and comprehensive park. You are very lucky, I am willing to take you Go and have a look… By the way, your spaceship is called Kuafu, which means a giant who only knows how to chase the sun, right? Do you want to see the prototype?”
