The content of the civilized bet is: [The person performing the contract, Su Mingan, must restart the Dawn system within twenty days.]

Then, as long as the "performer Su Mingan" is never able to reach the twentieth day, this civilized bet will become a piece of paper.

When Su Mingan arrives on the nineteenth day, he will meet Akto, who will ask him to go back to the past and hand over his identity as a "performer" to himself on the first day.

Analyzing only from the causal level, when "Su Ming'an in the past" has experienced nineteen days and encounters Akto again, Akto will let "Su Ming'an in the past" go back to the past and hand over the identity of the "performer"

Give the next self on the first day, that is, the "Su Ming'an of the past", to achieve infinite recursion.

The time in the ruined world is grid time. As long as Su Ming'an has existed in this world, it will leave traces in the system, no matter the past, present, or future. Although only the current Su Ming'an is the real "player Su Ming'an," the past

He is also included in the definition of "Su Ming'an".

This is a loophole in the text of "Performer: Su Ming'an". The text can only refer to one "object" and cannot refer to "Su Ming'an" on a specific timeline.

The Su Ming'an of the present can boldly move towards the future, while the "Su Ming'an" of the past has the "Su Ming'an of the past" to help him reach the nineteenth day.

——In this way, it becomes an ouroboros with no beginning or end of cause and effect.

The identity of "Performer Su Ming'an" will cycle back and forth in the handover between the past and the present, from the 19th day back to the first day, from the first day to the 19th day, and from the 19th day back to the first day.

.never reaches the twentieth day.

"..."

In the white light, Su Mingan clenched the chocolate in his hand, his heart beating very fast, and the ladder of thinking was built in his mind, gradually building a complete palace.

He had some fuzzy thoughts, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Su Ming'an, the cause and effect of Ouroboros are directly connected. It is impossible to have an effect without cause, or a cause without effect, because once you lose one of them, you will not be able to stand here. We can

The basis of the conversation here is that you have linked this cause and effect at a certain point in time, maybe in the past, maybe in the future." Akto said: "That is, if there is a cause, there must be an effect, and if there is an effect, it must be inferred backwards.

because."

"I understand." Su Mingan's voice was hoarse, and the impact of this information was too great. Without Akto's explanation, he would not have been able to figure it out.

It's like the grandmother paradox - if you go back in time and kill your grandmother, your grandmother is no longer alive, and you can't be born in the world. But the question is, if you are not born in the world, who is it?

Killed your grandmother?

The current situation is similar to that Su Mingan is in a Schrödinger state of "killing his grandmother" and "not killing his grandmother". Only if "his grandmother is not killed" can he successfully reach the nineteenth day. If "he does not kill his grandmother", he can successfully reach the nineteenth day.

"My grandmother has been killed", he would not have arrived on the nineteenth day and would not have heard these theories.

When he stands here, this cause and effect has already existed. His "grandmother" must be alive now. What he has to do is to go back to the past and prevent himself from "killing his grandmother"...

He cannot measure this three-dimensional battle in terms of linear time. Time here is just a net. You can jump the chess pieces to one grid, or jump across parallel lines to another grid. You can even fold this net in half.

Four copies, one for 1 year, one for 32 years, one for 72 years, and one for 102 years.

In other words, we must throw away all normal definitions of 'time'. Normal definitions will not work in a ruined world.

Time must be understood in terms of space.

Just like a Klein bottle - there is a hole at the bottom of a bottle. Now extend the neck of the bottle to pull it into the bottle and connect it to the hole at the bottom. Unlike the cups we usually use to drink water, this Klein bottle has no

"Side", its surface does not end. A butterfly can fly directly from the inside of the bottle to the outside without passing through the surface, that is, there is no distinction between inside and outside of the Klein bottle.

Now, Su Mingan is like that butterfly. As long as he passes through the Klein bottle composed of three dimensions, he can return to the initial program and type in the letter that Akto has vacated in advance, making the order

The causal link becomes ouroboros.

In the field of mathematics, a Klein bottle is a non-directional plane, a concept in which the inside and outside are completely indistinguishable. If the universe is compared to a higher-dimensional Klein bottle, the universe is also boundless.

Although humans think they are in the universe, they may also exist outside the universe. The boundaries between "inside" and "outside" are not clear. No matter how humans explore, they may eventually return to the same starting point, just like

The Klein bottle that is never full.

The Möbius strip is very distorted in two-dimensional space, but it is very reasonable in three-dimensional space. In the same way, although the Klein bottle looks very strange in three-dimensional space, it has the characteristics of four-dimensional space.

Be non-directional.

Since reality is a three-dimensional space, using real-world theories to explain the Klein bottle belonging to the four-dimensional space will seem awkward anyway.

But it's reasonable.

The cause and effect of the ruined world, the distinction between inside and outside, is like a Klein bottle.

"...Have you figured it out?"

Under the pure white light, Akto drank tea again. His posture was particularly leisurely, like a mentor waiting for his students to understand.

The fragrance of tea filled the air, and Su Mingan stared blankly at the Ouroboros pattern swimming in the air. After a moment, he said: "I still don't understand, I'm sorry. But after the world copy is over, I will continue to discuss it with Noel and others.

.”

These theories of Akto have gone far beyond the scope of the ruined world, and even touched the level of cosmology. Su Ming'an recorded all these words, so that they can discuss them in secret when he and Noel celebrate the New Year.

Maybe there will be new ideas to counter the organizers.

Su Mingan's eyes darkened a little, and the tower of thoughts was about to be submerged by the flood.

The previous simulation is superimposed on this simulation. The end of this simulation may also be the beginning of the next simulation. Time is like a Klein bottle in high dimensions. In the eyes of high dimensions, time is more of a 'dimension.

Expressed with 'cause and effect', rather than simply 'linear time'.

This kind of thinking may help him fight against high dimensions...

Su Mingan put his hand on his chest and felt his heart beating rapidly. A new window had opened in front of him, and theories he had never seen before were poured into his mind.

On the first day when the dungeon was opened, he would never have thought that the nature of the ruined world would be so complicated - four timelines were not enough, a three-dimensional firewall theory was needed. Firewall theory was not enough, and a bunch of titles were needed.

The tail snake, the Möbius strip, the Klein bottle, the grandmother's paradox, and even the cosmic program theory.

This is much broader than the battle between the two gods in the sky. There are clues within clues, theories within theories, it is simply a huge mystery composed of an entire world.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just do as I say." Akto put down the tea cup: "After all, you are still young. You have not even had in-depth exposure to mathematics and physics. Many theories are difficult for you to understand. I believe if you can

With enough life and your will, you can do better than me."

"How can I compare to you?" Su Mingan shook his head.

It is difficult for him to even understand these theories, how can he compare with the founder of the theory.

"So specifically, what should I do?" Su Mingan said.

Akto stood up.

Flower-like white light surrounded him, and he walked in this pure white space:

"Su Mingan, the Central City Laboratory in Catastrophe 72 - that is, where you started, is a transfer station, used to store the real Dawn system. The Central City Laboratory does not belong to any dimension. It does not belong to any dimension.

The first year of the three dimensions does not belong to the 32nd year of the two dimensions, nor does it belong to the 102nd year of the city of measurement. It is independent."

"I see." Su Ming'an understood. It seems that the real Dawn system was placed in this 'transit station' and protected.

"The time in the Central City Laboratory has been repeated within five days because we need to constantly reset the coordinates of this 'transfer station.'" Akto said: "Otherwise, if the time in the Central City Laboratory continues,

Easily like the other three dimensions one

In this way, the coordinates are locked by [other dimensions]."

Su Mingan nodded.

No wonder no one in the Central City Laboratory was invaded by [Tavi]. It turns out that it is absolutely safe.

"But the only hidden danger is you." Akto said:

"At the start of the dungeon, you were a person who frequently entered and exited the City of Measurement and the Central City Laboratory. [Tai Wei] probably targeted your coordinates and locked the location of the Central City Laboratory within five days. Even if it was only once.

If cause and effect breaks, we will cease to exist."

"What I need you to do is to lure your past self into the ruined building in the City of Measurement, which is the future state of the Central City Laboratory - let your past self be located in 102, and let your present self

You are located in the year 72. This makes the coordinates of the Central City Laboratory coincide with the 72nd year and the 102nd year at the same time, using one-dimensional coordinates to confuse the vision of [other dimensions] and prevent the laboratory from being locked."

When Su Mingan heard this, the back of his spine was already wet with cold sweat.

This kind of operation "the past belongs to 102 years, and the present belongs to 72 years. The past belongs to the future, and the future also belongs to the past." is too shocking and unheard of.

"I see." He said:

"The past has not yet become an established fact, I must erase the hidden dangers of the past."….

"Ding Dong!"

The system prompt sounds:

[You accepted the new main quest "Ouroboros"]

[Task Tips: Jump through grid-like time, guide your past self into the ruined building, and deliver the identity of the performer of the civilized bet to your past self.

Mission reward: A Dawn Code.]

…

"Did you find Tredia's pocket watch?" Acto said.

Su Mingan took out the bronze pocket watch.

Akto stared at the pocket watch, as if missing the beautiful woman. A stream of data snaked down from his fingertips and entered the pocket watch.

"Each of the nine seats has some administrator rights. Xiaobei's is a USB flash drive. Xi's is the chip on the back of her neck. As for Theredia, her authority is represented by this pocket watch." Acker
