Chapter 958 The Great Explorer (2): Paradox of Existence(1/2)
Author: Binary Sword Fairy
“At some irregular time points, [voice] appeared in the ears of these people. They listened to the guidance of [voice] and made great efforts for the same goal, so [Mechanical Ascension Secret Order]
】This name is inevitably known, and the mobile phone has also entered human vision."
Speaking of this, Chen Yan couldn't help but interrupt:
"How does it feel to be one of these people?"
There is no need for the director to lie:
"You guessed it wrong. Although I have built countless [lighthouses] across the planet that have become indispensable signal base stations for mobile phones, I have never heard [sound] myself.
Of course, I have come into contact with people who can hear [voice] guidance, which is where Red Moon Starry Sky Technology Company’s [Lighthouse] technology and most of its orders come from.”
William Master had no need or disdain to deceive. Chen Yan's synaesthesia captured the astonishing fact that "the director has never lied in his life."
After being briefly interrupted by Chen Yan, the director was not affected, and his logic was always clear:
"According to the investigation I conducted at that time, the data such as the time and place of the [sound] occurrence do not conform to any known mathematical laws - [the sound] appears randomly at every point in time and in every corner of the world."
"It is worth mentioning that [sound] not only appears in reality, but also appears in dreams."
"The [Voice] told them what to do, so what they did became the industrial foundation of the Mechanical Repair Association - these industries were not bearing the name of the Mechanical Repair Association, but the names of the people who carried out the orders of the [Voice], so
Most people, even those like Knightford who are close to the truth, are insensitive to their existence."
Professor Lauye echoed:
"I really don't have a chance to contact him, and I can't find out if I ask... Nowadays, the world is deteriorating and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, everyone is very strict with their mouths."
The director continued:
"With the help of [Voice] - or in other words [Order], the Mechanical Society has owned the physical industry in the empire, but their goal does not stop there."
"Honestly, I don't know what they are going to do until now. The most prominent thing is the mobile phone. What purpose do they want to use the mobile phone to achieve? We didn't know before, but now we have this octopus,
Maybe you can learn some secrets from it - this is the reason why you should keep the octopus here. Your giving up will produce a value that is so great that even you can't imagine it. You should be happy about this."
Well, the director is still the familiar director.
The director quickly returned to the topic itself:
"The Machinery Repair Society, well, even their own existence is a paradox."
In fact, Chen Yan still didn't understand, but he saw that Professor Lauye listened very seriously, so he had to bite the bullet and listen to the director's confusing remarks.
Maybe you can get some inspiration?
"First of all, we need to know that [sound] itself does not exist."
What the hell are you talking about... Since the [voice] does not exist, what you just said was a joke?
Professor Lauye obviously noticed Chen Yan's somewhat broken heart, so he explained to Chen Yan:
"[Sound] does not exist, because sound is essentially a vibration signal. The properties of this signal are frequency and loudness, not people's subjective feelings - [sound] is just people's perception of [having frequency]
and loudness], and the name based on subjective feelings, and this name itself is wrong——
[Sound] itself is a wrong name, it does not exist in itself."
Seeing that Chen Yan couldn't react at once, Professor Lawyer asked him:
"How does sound travel?"
Finally talking about what Chen Yan knew, he immediately replied:
"Is air or a solid and liquid medium."
Professor Lauyer said:
"Yes, sound propagates through the medium, and its mode of propagation is [causing vibration] - the sound passes through the medium and causes the cochlea to vibrate. Then these vibrations are converted into electrical signals by the stimulated cells. When these electrical signals travel along the nerves
When the system is transmitted to the cerebral cortex, people become [aware of the information] - this is the process of [people hearing sounds]."
Chen Yan was a little stunned.
Professor Lauye saw the confusion in his eyes and concluded:
"Therefore, this whole process is completely just [the propagation of vibration signals in the medium], not what we think of as [sound].
The reason why we say [sound] is just because the concept of [sound] is easier to understand, and this misunderstanding will not affect human beings, so it has become popular."
Chen Yan's pupils dilated, and then he let out a long "Oh..."
The director said from the side:
"Similarly, the concept of [time] also has similar problems."
Professor Lauye motioned to the director to stop talking.
Chen Yan suddenly realized something, shook his head vigorously, and said to the director:
"What you mean is that the first batch of members of the Mechanical Society sensed a certain [vibration], so they knew about the existence of the Mechanical Society and what they needed to do next."
The director confirmed his guess:
"Yes."
Chen Yan asked again:
“Where does [the vibration] come from?”
When asked about this question, the principal suddenly stopped answering.
He is actually summarizing language.
After a short silence, the director spoke again:
"From ancient times to the present, there are usually two ways for human beings to explore the unknown - one is towards the sky, and the other is towards the center of the earth. They are both ways of moving towards the unknown, exploring the unknown and gaining rewards.
I once believed that the "voices" of the Mechanical Mechanic's Association also came from these two paths, so I used some means to test the parameters of some members of the Mechanical Mechanic's Association - this experiment was carried out for many years, until the past two years, [Lage
After Lange's Third Law came out, I used it to perform calculations and finally got results——
The [voice] of the Mechanicus does not come from the sky, nor from the center of the earth.”
William Master pointed to his chest with his right index finger.
"The [voice] of the Mechanical Society comes from people's hearts."
"Those voices back then were what the first members of the Mechanical Society heard from their own hearts."
Such an explanation was so unmaterialistic that Chen Yan could not accept it immediately:
"You mean... the [voices] of the Machinery Society are actually just [delusions] that these people have inexplicably generated, and they turned these [delusions] into reality?!"
The director actually confirmed Chen Yan’s complaint:
"If there is no relevant theory of the deeper world, it is really just [paranoia]."
"But this time it's obviously different."
"Chen Yan, what do you think the deeper world is?"
Combined with the principal's statement just now, Chen Yan immediately realized that this was a fucking philosophical question.
So he answered poorly:
"It's that part of the world that ordinary humans can't see... It's almost like an existence in another dimension... It's a place that has different rules from the current world, so it's difficult to reach... It's another plane... It's something else
dimension..."
Professor Lauye covered his face.
Klein's expression was serious.
The director frowned and stopped him from continuing with an expression like "Listen to what nonsense you are talking about":
"The deeper world essentially does not exist."
Chen Yan knew that his expression must be terrible:
"Is it the same as [voice]..."
The principal said:
"Yes, the so-called [Deeper World] is just a forced definition of a place that cannot be understood by the extraordinary society. It is actually completely wrong."
"In fact, we don't know where the deeper world comes from and what properties it has - because any deeper world discovered by humans so far has different properties - the rules of its operation
They are all different.”
“Among all the so-called [deeper worlds], [Wilderness] is the first special existence, because [Wilderness] is almost parallel to the real world we are in, and has the interface of our world - all the old things of our world.
Things will eventually sink into the [wilderness].”
"A more accurate thing to describe [wilderness] is [recycle bin]."
"And [The Inaccessible Land] is the second special existence, because the things that appear in the [The Inaccessible Land] have made huge changes to the real world we live in - we even have reason to believe that the [The Inaccessible Land]
】This is what our world may become in the future.”
An idea flashed in Chen Yan's mind:
