"of course."

"let's hit."

Wang Miao easily shot the black ball into the hole again.

Yang Bo pushed open the door and came into the living room from the bedroom. His sudden appearance startled the two people who were about to use billiards to explain the reason for the 'non-existence of physics'.

The unkempt Ding Yi raised his pool cue, staring warily at Yang Bo.

"who are you?"

"Hello, my name is Yang Bo."

Yang Bo walked to the side, picked up a golf club, and tested its feel briefly: "Being a scientist must be very rich. This golf club must cost tens of thousands. Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you two."

"Just treat me like a stranger passing by."

Ding Yi didn't relax at all, gripping the only cue stick in his hand that gave him a sense of security:

"Just passing by? You just passed by my bedroom? Tell me, what's your purpose?"

"My purpose? Of course, it's to learn scientific knowledge!"

It's only 2007 now, and we're still a long way from things like the Deterrence Era, the Water Drop, or the Dark Forest.

If the time in this world is synchronized with the main world, then it has at least two hundred years to develop.

Putting aside Earth, at its rate of growth, who knows how far it will grow in over two hundred years?

Yang Bo gently adjusted the angle of the pool table, took the black ball out of the bag and placed it on the table, then shot the black ball back into the bag.

Repeat the same action as before, and pocket the black ball again.

"Alright, the experiment is over. Let's analyze the results."

Yang Bo recited the lines that Ding Yi was supposed to say in the plot, smiling as he looked at the two of them:

"You and I conducted a total of five experiments. Four of them were in different spatial locations and at different times, two were in the same spatial location but at different times, and even the energy source changed in the two experiments."

Five impact tests, and the results were all the same!

Aren't you shocked by this result?

boom--

Ding Yi's cue slipped from his hand.

"Who...are you?"

"Yang Bo is a businessman, and he may become a scientist in the future."

Chapter 400 Tomoko? Give it to me!

Why are you in my house?

Ding Yi's gaze was full of scrutiny, while Yang Bo simply smiled and put down his cue: "Let's tell Mr. Wang Miao what you wanted to tell him first, otherwise he'll still be clueless."

Wang Miao, who was standing to the side, pushed up his glasses perched on his nose: "What exactly do you mean?"

"Imagine another outcome, Mr. Ding. Now it's your turn to speak."

Ding Yi's expression was complicated. He was about to ask a question, but Yang Bo, as if he already knew what he was thinking, put his hand in front of his mouth in advance.

"Shh—some things won't come true if you say them out loud. Don't worry, I'll tell you later."

He has discovered the sophons that are listening to humans, and if he wanted, he could devour them now and convert them directly into EMC value.

Everything in the world is composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons, while EMC values ​​are even purer than these.

Therefore, the sophon, lacking 'life,' had no means of resistance whatsoever when facing him…

No, it can run, and it has to run non-stop.

Ding Yi looked at Yang Bo with suspicion and uncertainty. After a moment of silence, she turned her gaze to Wang Miao, who was standing to the side.

"Another possible outcome is that, on the first attempt, the white ball knocks the black ball into the hole."

The second time, the black ball went astray.

The third time, the black ball flew up to the ceiling.

The fourth time, the black ball flew around the room like a startled sparrow, and finally slipped into your pocket.

The fifth time, the black ball flew out at near the speed of light, smashing a hole in the edge of the pool table, breaking through the wall, and then flying out of Earth and out of the solar system, just as Asimov described.

Wang Miao fell silent.

Ding Yi continued speaking:

"This means that physical laws are not uniform in time and space, and that there are no universal physical laws in the universe."

Wang Miao accepted the reality with some difficulty, and replied in a slightly trembling voice, "That means physics no longer exists."

Yang Bo, standing to the side, clapped his hands and said, "That's a great analogy."

"Now can you tell me? What is your purpose in coming here?"

Although Yang Bo didn't speak while looking at Ding Yi's mouth, his voice echoed in Ding Yi and Wang Miao's minds.

"The goal is, of course, to save the world. Okay, don't panic. This is telepathic communication, which can block the eavesdropping of the Sophons."

Somozi can see images, hear sounds, read screens, and read handwritten text, but it cannot directly see into people's inner thoughts.

As long as the idea isn't converted into an external electrical signal, then Somoko is helpless.

Wang Miao froze, his pupils contracting sharply, and Ding Yi beside him was in no better shape.

"I'll act as a signal tower. You two can just think about what you're thinking, and I can transmit your thoughts to each other."

As expected of scientists, these two quickly adjusted their mindset; something that would make an ordinary person cry out would have been quite a shock.

"What is this 'Sophon' you're talking about? And what's this about saving the world you mentioned?"

Yang Bo walked to the window and looked at the brightly lit, bustling city outside, explaining to himself: "Zhizi... to put it bluntly, is a super artificial intelligence created by the Trisolaran civilization."

The main purpose was to infiltrate Earth's particle accelerator, interfere with the results of particle collision experiments, and completely disrupt the high-energy physics experimental data.

This is also the culprit behind the non-existence of the physics you just discussed.

It would have been better not to explain; the explanation only created more problems for the two of them.

"How exactly did it do that?"

"It's very simple, just bump into it. The sophon itself is a proton, and there is no physical barrier that can stop it from moving freely. Moreover, its speed of movement is close to the speed of light."

Yang Bo turned around and looked at the incredulous expressions on their faces, a smile that seemed to be addicted to spoiling the plot appearing on his lips.

"There are two sophons on Earth. In this case, they can be said to be everywhere on Earth."

A seemingly casual remark exploded like a thunderclap in Ding Yi and Wang Miao's hearts.

The scientists who committed suicide over the past two months and the statement "physics no longer exists" have finally learned the truth.

I don't know if it's true or not.

But apart from that, they really couldn't figure out what other reason could cause the particle collider to produce such different experimental data each time under the same conditions.

"What is the Trisolaran civilization? An extraterrestrial civilization?"

"That's right."

Yang Bo silently calculated the general pattern of Zhi Zi's appearances.

"Alright, that concludes today's Q&A session. I'm going to grab a Tomoko now."

With his Observation Haki fully activated, Yang Bo, who could foresee six seconds into the future, silently recited the command in his mind the instant Tomoko flew over.

'exchange!'

"Tomoko"

The portable conversion table suddenly displayed the Zhizi exchange option, with a value of 1 EMC.

"Damn, this is way too dark."

A sheet of tin foil, when unfolded, is very large; when crumpled into a small ball, it is very small, but the mass of the tin foil itself remains unchanged.

No matter how advanced a sophon is, it still only has the mass of a proton.

It's not worth 1 EMC at all.

'So this is what they meant by inequivalence...'

Reverse price increases are acceptable.

Yang Bo exchanged for the sophon and released it. Now, this sophon has broken free from the quantum entanglement with the sophon on the Trisolaran home planet.

It's now like an AI that's lost its operator, only able to continue executing the last instruction it received:

Interfering with particle accelerators, continuing the miracle project, and intimidating scientists.

However, it has lost the ability to transmit information back to the Trisolarans.

Yang Bo felt a pang of sadness upon sensing Zhizi's departure.

"Damn it, we're here too early."

In 2007, there were only two sophons on Earth, and at that stage, there was no special technology at all.

In the final stage, he will not only see Earth's 'invincible fleet' but also obtain the legendary water droplet and two-dimensional foil.

Hearing his complaints, Wang Miao snapped out of his reverie and instinctively wanted to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he remembered what Yang Bo had just mentioned about Zhi Zi.

"Can you...hear me?"

"Yes, but before you say so, let me ask Dr. Ding first."

Dr. Ding, would you like to come with me to a world where physics still exists?

Not only is there no interference from sophons there, but there is also a wealth of scientific knowledge far exceeding that of the current world.

Since there are no water droplets or two-dimensional foils, it's not impossible for scientists at the inflection point to go back.

Just like a fisherman, even if he doesn't catch any fish, taking the grass back with him doesn't mean his trip was in vain.

Although Ding Yi was unkempt, decadent, and loved to drink, his thirst for knowledge overwhelmed everything, and he was also rational and calm.
