Chapter Fourteen: Asking About Memes
……I see."
Several great scientists present fell into a strange silence. After a while, Li Sancai smiled and said, "At least we won this time, aren't we?"
But no one agreed with him. After all, there is no difference between such victory and failure. Although they cannot directly obtain the future they know from Hao Qi, the answers derived from the inferences from the information are obviously not the paradise they imagined. Even the glory of mankind has been lost. Although they are not clear about the overall event, human civilization has been destroyed by those innate creatures outside?
This is simply outrageous!
When did those things that were regarded as precious and protected by humans actually regard humans as prey?
"Although I really want to change something, this is a confirmed future. It seems... everyone, we will all die in this war. This information will not be left to anyone in any way." said the middle-aged man.
"It is not necessarily true that the known future has been confirmed, and the unknown future is full of infinite possibilities. Our problem at present is that the known future confirms our death and the loss of civilization in our era. This is almost our bottom line, but we still have the final plan, so this is not the most desperate thing." The elderly man said calmly.
Speaking of this, everyone looked at Hao Qi, and then the few people nodded to each other, obviously confirming the statement of the elderly man. Then they kept saying terms that Hao Qi could not understand at all, or Hao Qi did not understand what they were talking about. From time to time, some people left and some came back. By the way, this is the personal subspace of one of them. According to their statement, because the anti-scientist group arrived, in order to avoid the direct collapse of human society, they had to seal the entire human society into a state of time frozen. The Nine Sea World is actually impossible to enter. Of course, it is still possible to view from the subspace. Just want to enter the human society to experience something.
"... By the way, this battle in 1999 was not only a year of war, right?" Hao Qi asked strangely.
Several scientists looked at each other and smiled bitterly for a moment. Li San replied: "Of course, it is impossible that we only fought for a year. In fact, this so-called 19999 is determined by secular chronological units. Since the entire human society has been in a state of time freezing, this year will continue and it is impossible to separate from society. We great scientists use one set of chronological methods, while human society uses another? In fact, so far, the war has been going on for more than sixteen years. The early competition for rules took us too much time, and the time flow rate of each node is also different. This sixteen years is just a matter of time, which refers to the time in the Jiuhai World. Everyone's real experience is actually different. The shortest ones are decades, and the long ones may be possible... it may be possible for thousands of years."
At this time, another great scientist also said: "And the anti-scientist group is logically contagious. This is an anti-logical virus on the information level. Any life below the fifth-level great scientist will be infected. The specific feature is that as long as you know the existence of anti-scientist, that is, there is a concept of anti-scientist existence in your consciousness, then your consciousness will gradually be eroded and distorted, from the initial nightmare to lucid dreams, to gradually losing your mind, and eventually corrupt. In this, we set a threshold, which we call it the rational value san. Once san is completely lost, the life will lose its basic concept of existence, that is, it can no longer be called a living body, but an indescribable distortion that has been corroded by anti-scientist. Whether it has the power of action or not, its essence has been completely changed."
"The so-called...meme?" Hao Qi suddenly spoke.
The great scientists were silent. After a while, Li Sancai said: "Yes, we named these corroded distortions memes. They are no longer their original lives, or even any substances we know. They are distortions directly modified from the information layer, and they have many anti-logical concepts. This is why we freeze the entire Nine Sea World. If anti-scientists spread their concepts in human society, then the survival time of the entire multiverse will be just a countdown, and a countdown calculated in hours."
Hao Qi has personally experienced how amazing the meme is. Even if the horror ball is a low-level meme, the effect of completely distorting personal will and directly transmitting the concept of horror to the soul is irrelevant. If all memes have similar mechanisms of action, Hao Qi can really imagine the possibility of this diversity being destroyed.
However, Hao Qi also wanted to get a specific meme. He wanted to return to his own era. In that era, he had too many bonds. Friends, friends like relatives, and women with good feelings, were his most precious treasures. He had to return to his era. The precise positioning of time and space of this scale also involved Hao Qi's own physical recovery and all the difficulties that might be contained in it. This is something that even great scientists could not do. Apart from Shi Zhong, the only possibility of returning that Hao Qi could think of was memes.
"Then do you have memes now? It's the real memes. Do you have them now?" Hao Qi asked anxiously immediately.
"No." Li San replied directly: "All the memes that have been found have been put into the seal at the end of time and space. Only there is the safest place. Some memes are too dangerous and may cause catastrophic consequences once they break out. For example, one of the memes is an hourglass of a Mobius ring. The biggest feature of this hourglass is that they can create a refutational time surround belt, and its engine mechanism is that the more people fall into the refutational time surround belt, the scope of influence and impact of the impact of the more people fall into the refutational time surround belt, the more people are trapped in the refutational time surround belt, the range of influence and impact of the impact of the impact of the more people fall into the refutational time surround belt, the more people are trapped in the refutational time surround belt, the more influences they have.
The greater the time, when we discover it and seal it, it has created a time-refut necrotic area for more than three thousand years, which has forced our time-refut scientists to spend a huge price to cut and destroy that period of time. Otherwise, when the time of the multiverse runs to that period of time, the territory of at least four oceans in the Nine Seas World may be completely inaccessible because of that refutable time surround. In the end, it can only be discarded, and the living organisms that live in it are basically non-existent types."
Hao Qi seemed to understand it, and he subconsciously raised his hand and said, "I wonder, what is the refutation of time surround? Although it seems that I understand it, it seems that I don't understand it..."
The middle-aged man explained: "The so-called refutational time surround is actually divided into multiple different examples, but the results are almost the same, that is, the occurrence of time refutation, and then the time necrosis and restart. As a living body on the material layer, humans are essentially unable to rely on their own senses to directly observe time. This causes the collapse of time, and the humans in it, including the body to realize the soul, can no longer escape from the cage of time, and can only repeat it repeatedly in it, and even be able to detect it. This is the refutational time surround. In theory, this meme alone can cause the collapse of time in the multiverse to appear. This is the terrible scene of memes. We must destroy such a terrible thing, and when it cannot be destroyed, we must seal it at the end of time and space."
Hao Qi immediately asked again: "Since there are memes that make the time cycle collapse, are there memes that can make people go to the future world? I mean bringing a person safely to the future and staying there permanently, without being sent back when the time comes. Are there any memes like this?"
The great scientists looked at each other for a long time before the oldest scientist said: "It is indeed there, but you can't afford it. It's a butterfly, or a butterfly-like meme. You can really go to the future with this meme, and you can live there all the time after you go there. It will not be restricted by the basic laws of time, but the price is so high that you will never be willing to use it."
"What is the price?" Hao Qi continued to ask unwillingly.
"...The butterfly effect, and the evil butterfly effect, anything you don't want to happen will inevitably happen with a very small chance, and the future you get will inevitably be your worst future. We have used a method to tentatively see such a meme several times. Any situation that may lead to human extinction or even more tragic will happen. Extremely terrible viruses, civil wars of civilization, human mutation, and even multi-destruction. Do you also want to use such a meme?" A great scientist asked Hao Qi.
Hao Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Then is nothing else? That kind of safe one can..."
"Impossible." All the great scientists said in unison.
Li San patiently explained to Hao Qi: "The so-called meme is essentially a distortion of the basic rules. If it is just a distortion itself, it may be a tool, and it is barely neutral. However, anti-scientists are hostile to any living organism and existence with order logic. Under the erosion of anti-scientists, all memes are essentially malicious about life and order logic. The degree of maliciousness and the consequences caused are only different. Since you know the existence of memes, you must have encountered memes, right? Then do the memes you encountered have no side effects?"
Hao Qi immediately told the meme he encountered, that is, the horror ball. At the same time, he also specifically mentioned that the horror ball helped them through the difficulties. The meme itself was like a tool and did not find any malicious existence.
"Horror ball... Oh, I understand, it's a life array diagram, right?" Several great scientists thought for a while in confusion, and one of them finally spoke. The others suddenly realized after hearing this. Then they looked at Hao Qi with glory.
"What, what's wrong?" Hao Qi felt so distressed when they saw it, and immediately asked.
Li San said to Hao Qi with a wry smile: "You are so lucky. You can say that you have encountered the most evil meme... part. When we first learned the memes, some of them were completely destroyed by us, but we also spent unimaginable huge costs. Among them, the life array map is the meme we encountered. The evil is even less in the top three. This is a meme that can show various abstract concepts of life, horror, joy, curiosity, excitement, anger, and even despair. The most terrifying thing is joy, followed by curiosity, and despair, and horror is the least harmful one. Moreover, the life array map has been broken and its performance has dropped significantly. The estimate you have obtained is only a very small part of the concept of horror. To this extent, it can indeed be regarded as a tool."
Hao Qi suddenly had a black line on his forehead, and he asked strangely: "Wait, wait a moment, I will make sense... Are you saying that the concept of joy is the most dangerous? Terror is the slightest? What is this statement?"
"Do you know the human reaction mechanism?" At this time, another great scientist pushed his heavy glasses and said.
"Uh, probably it refers to a nerve reaction? Or something else?" Hao Qi said, touching the back of his head.
"It can also be a neural reaction, but what I am talking about here is the stress mechanism to deal with the outside world. To put it simply, life must have a risk of avoidance and a reaction mechanism to avoid one's own death. All existences without this mechanism will be eliminated in the early stages of evolution, and the life array diagram violates this concept. It can make any life have emotions that violate its reaction mechanism out of thin air. If you have seen the carrier of the terror concept, then you should know that the sense of horror when facing that thing comes out of thin air, and its terror concept exceeds your own will instinct, right?" the great scientist continued to explain and asked.
Hao Qi nodded for sure. He was still scared of the horror of the horror ball, which was indeed beyond the horror he could imagine.
"That's it. Terror makes people scary. People who are extremely terrified may be scared to death, but they also have a high chance of running away and avoiding. This is essentially the instinctive reaction mechanism of life. This is just a stress. Then think about it. When you meet something, you feel joy when you get close to it, and it is extreme joy. No matter what you do, such as hurting, pain makes you joy, or walking harder makes you joy, taking more breaths makes you joy, and taking less breaths makes you joy, I said, this is extreme joy, just like the concept of terror makes you feel physically
Just as you experience extreme terror, the joy here is also extreme joy, and you can't control your great joy. In this way, you think about what will happen? If you use a little more force to step on your foot, you are extremely happy, so you step hard and step with more force. If your foot breaks, you are still extremely happy. What about the pain? Breathe more? Breathe less? Suffocate or swell your lungs? Dismember yourself? Or commit suicide immediately? Joy is the most terrifying and terrifying concept in the life array diagram. Those who are in the middle cannot help, and curiosity is the same. According to this comparison, do you still think that terror is the most dangerous?"
When Hao Qi heard this, he felt cold sweat coming out. Fortunately, they encountered a horror ball on the third floor of the ground. If there was a joy ball, then they would have been wiped out there. Where is the story there?
