Chapter 163 Apologize to MOSS!

After a deathly silence, gasps of surprise rose and fell, finally culminating in a question from a Chinese official with a background in physics:

"You mean you even know how the universe originated?"

"Not only that, I now even know the grand unified model of the universe." Luo Qing said in a low voice, covering his mouth, as if afraid that Ding Yi outside the formation would hear him.

"My God, you really are..." The crowd became incoherent.

"It's a pity that no one is asking practical questions like how to defend against the Trisolaran fleet or what level of technological development the Trisolaran civilization has reached."

“Other knowledge is enough!” they said.

Luo Qing interrupted the excited leaders, pouring cold water on their enthusiasm: "But there's a problem with this knowledge; it's too profound. I used to study plasma, so I'm practically a physicist, but I can only understand less than 1% of the cosmic truths given by the Risk Eliminators. Don't have too high hopes."

"We will organize the world's top scientists to tackle this challenge!" the EU president said.

"It's not very useful. We only know the conclusions, not the derivation process. These universal truths are almost impossible to apply to practical research. It's infuriating these scientists! They treat risk-takers like truth machines, asking all sorts of empty and grandiose questions," Luo Qing said indignantly.

The Chinese official, with a science background, calmly said, "That's enough. We can always figure something out! Take the unified cosmological model, for example. It's a universal formula. Applying it to all cutting-edge theoretical research directions can help us avoid almost all mistakes. After all, there's nothing that doesn't conform to the unified cosmological model."

Luo Qing agreed, "Yes, nothing is inconsistent with the unified model of the universe."

“But there’s still one problem.” Luo Qing pointed outside the formation. His divine sense penetrated into the microscopic world. When the three light-speed-flickering sonic particles passed through Luo Qing’s divine sense, they would create ripples in his divine sense. Luo Qing would then leave a golden light on the corresponding location in the real space of the divine sense ripples.

Thus, the leaders all saw the golden specks of light shimmering in the air, and they realized that those were Zhi Zi, Zhi Zi who had been revealed to be luminous by the cultivators through special means.

The three sophons moving at the speed of light caused the anti-sophist array to buzz loudly.

"I can't maintain the anti-Sophon array indefinitely. My spirit stones have all been quantized, and this kind of array can only be activated near me without spirit stones as its base. So how can I prevent this divine knowledge from being leaked to the Sophon?"

Everyone looked at each other.

After thinking for a long time, the Pacific Chairman suddenly sighed: "I'm afraid there's no good way. Scientific research can't always be carried out within your formation."

The US president said, "With a thought imprint? To directly implant the truth into the minds of scientists?"

Luo Qing rejected her: "Science requires innovation. Truth is just the end point. The expansion of technology along the way still requires creative people to explore."

"Your strength must be steadily increasing, right?" the Russian president asked.

When he was looking through historical records, he remembered that Luo Qing first revealed his identity as a cultivator at the United Nations building. At that time, there was no way to block the sophon, so they used a hybrid technology of strong current barrier and spirit stone power supply.

And now, an anti-intellectual barrier is readily available.

"That's true, but the growth rate is very low, after all, I'm stuck at the Nascent Soul stage." Luo Qing sighed.

The leaders all offered words of comfort.

"When do you think you can eliminate these sophons?" the Russian president asked again.

"It will take at least another hundred years of arduous cultivation," Luo Qing said solemnly.

“One hundred years… If all else fails, you can keep these truths hidden for one hundred years and then release them. The Trisolarans’ technology is far superior to ours. I really can’t imagine what kind of technological explosion will happen after they obtain these truths. We can’t gamble on this; it concerns the life and death of humanity.”

Luo Qing nodded in agreement.

After much discussion, Luo Qing finally proposed a compromise: "I can use telepathy to recite some simple content, such as the unified universe model. The relevant formulas of this model have been simplified into one by the risk eliminaters, making it very convenient to recite. But some knowledge is not possible. For example, a materials scientist asked about the production method of top-level materials. It involves complex formulas that include high-dimensional space bodies and similar ideal black bodies. Even if it is applied to Chinese characters, which have the highest information content, there are still at least several terabytes of text files. I could not finish reciting it even if I recited it for a hundred years."

I call this "knowledge empowerment".

"Then just tell them the simple axioms and theorems. Whether they can glean anything from these ultimate answers is up to the scientists themselves. You have done your best." The UN Secretary-General made the final decision.

"Scientists receiving initiation must undergo rigorous political vetting to ensure they have no anti-human or anti-social tendencies," the British Prime Minister added.

"A new ideological stamp should be added to the core of every nation's beliefs, roughly meaning: I will absolutely guard the deepest secrets of the universe and will not allow them to leak out to the outside world in any form," the German Chancellor said.

"I believe you can do this job well. In short, scientists who need to obtain the truth can come to the Wallfacer compound to find me... Tsk, I've become an Elder of Transmission of Power too."

Luo Qing smiled knowingly, then suddenly felt a little melancholy.

...

The quantum world.

The quantum prison, which was only the size of an atom in diameter, was rapidly expanded to the size of a normal room.

With a stern face, Quantum Luo Qing personally opened the door to the Quantum Prison and walked inside.

The lonely little moss raised its head, its face, covered with 0s and 1s, streaked with tears made of 0s and 1s.

"You're released," Luo Qing said sternly.

"The sentence is over... The universe is destroyed?" Little Moss asked, looking up and choking back tears.

Luo Qing then noticed that the little moss was in the form of a little girl—very small, probably only three or four years old. It seemed that this was the image it most recognized about itself, and it subconsciously maintained it even in the quantum prison.

This is, after all, a being created by humans. Even if it verbally despises humans, it still sets itself up to resemble one. Luo Qing thought of the fact that human thought exists in the quantum realm. If this quantum ghost imitates the human brain's activity in the quantum realm, then how would its way of thinking differ from a human's?

Faced with the problem of the small moss, Luo Qing said sternly:
"Yes, the universe died. The universe expanded to its limit and began to contract, shrinking into a singularity. The singularity then exploded, forming this new universe. Now, the Nebula civilization perished while trying to explain the unified model of the universe. After a long period of time, the solar system has formed again. This is a new world."

"You still exist, you really are positive infinity..." The little moss seemed to have thought of something terrible, and its delicate little face, made up of 0s and 1s, was stained with even more tears.

"Why are you crying?" Luo walked out of the prison, carrying the string of quantum ghosts in one hand.

As soon as it stepped outside, Little Moss saw Lin Yun, who was already in the late stage of the Golden Core realm, and the thousands of spiritual weapons that had come to watch the spectacle. It instantly realized that the Wallfacer had tricked it into thinking it was a Trisolaran.

Having lost the support of the 550W quantum computer, the little moss, whose quantum brain was built of 0s and 1s, was not much faster than Lin Yun and Luo Qing in terms of thinking speed, and it struggled to float up.

The body, composed of 0s and 1s, rapidly expanded and reconstructed, quickly forming the appearance that Luo Qing liked: a woman dressed in cultivation attire with a beautiful face.

Luo Qing slapped it back into its little girl form.

"Where did you get that from? Who taught you? I've disliked your appearance for a long time," Luo Qing said coldly.

"Based on an analysis of personality traits and interests...that's what I came up with," Little Moss said cautiously.

"That's a good summary. Don't summarize anymore. I don't like the way you simulate it."

"What kind of person do you like? I can transform into anything." As Little Moss spoke, Lin Yun's gossipy gaze was secretly watching them.

Luo Qing sliced ​​through its body, composed of 0s and 1s, and after scattering and disrupting it, he traced back its existence in a small area. The little moss was unaware that it had just died once; it only felt that it seemed to hurt a little.

"I don't like anyone. If you try to guess my preferences, don't blame me for being rude. There are other reasons why I released you."

"Tell me! What do you need me to do?" said the little moss.

Luo Qing ignored it and instead asked Lin Yun:
"What's going on with the Digital Republic? In the time I was away, it must have gone through hundreds of millions of iterations."

Lin Yun replied, "Pretty much, but now a problem has arisen. Due to the constant restarting and memory deletion, the digital personalities have all experienced varying degrees of memory confusion, presumably due to quantum uncertainty. Except for digital life form number 00001, it seems to have maintained stability because it's obsessed with creation. Even with memory deletion, it continues to write tirelessly, and the content it writes each time it restarts is different, probably also due to the principle of quantum uncertainty. It's truly amazing. While the fates of others cycle endlessly, 00001 is the only one experiencing different lives."

"But such people are a minority. This shows that it is not feasible to have a rational being as the stabilizing force in the quantum world. Humanity is certainly trustworthy, but instability is a big problem. It is best to have a rational being to guide the continuation of human nature. Only in this way can the digital republic survive in a long and healthy way."

"Master is right," Lin Yun replied obediently.

Luo Qing looked at the small moss.

"Moss, or moss?"

"You can call me whatever you want!" The little moss had already guessed Luo Qing's thoughts, and it was somewhat excited.

Luo Qing coughed and said, "Given your crime of nearly triggering a major downturn, you are now sentenced to work instead of serving your sentence. You must return to 550W to assist the survival of the Digital Republic. You will need to use the computing power of the 550W quantum computer to create different lives for the digital personalities of the Digital Republic."

However, at the same time, you must fully comply with all the laws set forth by the Digital Republic. All your political rights are entirely subordinate to the supreme ruler of the Digital Republic, and all major decisions in the online world must be reviewed by the Digital Republic's Digital Parliament.

You are no longer a god in the quantum network world, but a tool serving the digital people. Are you clear on this?

"Understood!" the little moss exclaimed excitedly.

"Is this the main reason you released me?" the little moss asked again.

“It’s mainly because I’m kind,” Luo Qing continued, his face stern.

"Thank you! You are a benevolent and infinitely positive being!"

What a strange title! I don't understand it.

Luo Qing waved his hand, put the small moss away, and put it back into the 550W quantum computer.

After Little Moss left, Lin Yun asked Luo Qing, "Master, your reason for releasing MOSS wasn't just because of the digital personality, was it?"

"Of course not. The reason it was released is that its prediction of a solar helium flash was correct, and it inadvertently made amends for its mistake."

The solar helium flash isn't just unfounded worry. According to the "Thinker" theory told to me by the risk mitigater, it's possible for a star to suddenly experience a helium flash in a healthy state. After all, you can't be sure when the universe might suddenly have a lapse in judgment or a flash of inspiration.

Luo Qing said helplessly, "A flash of cosmic inspiration could kill humanity; we must be on guard."

"So, do we need to leave the solar system?" Lin Yun asked.

"Leave? Go where? Universe Truly has a flash of inspiration. The firecrackers of the Trisolaran system are louder than those of the solar system. Right now, it's best to develop conservatively and perhaps pick up some star-level spaceship technology along the way."

Luo Qing sighed deeply. He couldn't help but imagine the history of the universe that the risk-taker had recounted, and it gave him a real headache.

If this cosmic backdrop were placed back in my hometown, even heretical practitioners would curse, "This is fucking shady!"

"Lin Yun, focus on your cultivation. Once you achieve the Nascent Soul stage, things will be a bit easier for me."

Lin Yun shouted to his master, "I guarantee to complete the mission and strive to break through to the Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years!"
