Chapter 582 [Duality of Virtual and Reality]
The communication channel fell silent again.
Feeling the terrible atmosphere, Chen Fan's uneasiness gradually accumulated.
He knew in his heart that it was definitely not a solution to continue like this - even if the fleet had sufficient energy and material supplies, even if many soldiers in the fleet had quite tough psychological qualities, if they continued to waste time in this place for a long time, the fleet would still inevitably fall into a death spiral of self-collapse.
What's more...
After being out of contact for such a long time, the Academy of Sciences is probably going crazy.
"...I'll try again."
Thinking of this, Chen Fan whispered in an uncertain tone: "Maybe, I can get the fleet moving again."
In the communication channel, Fang Yunsheng, who looked worried, was obviously stunned.
But the next second, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "You... can modify the coordinate parameters of the fleet?"
"Not sure."
Chen Fan smiled bitterly: "When I was in the Academy of Sciences before, some academicians asked me to try similar experiments."
"But..." He paused, then shook his head and sighed, "The effect is not ideal."
"Even under ideal conditions in the laboratory, I can't modify the coordinate parameters of any substance, not even a proton..."
"Is this so..." The light of hope that had just risen in Fang Yunsheng's eyes dimmed again. He pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty and showed a bitter smile: "Then your attempt is..."
in vain.
Although Fang Yunsheng did not directly say this cruel word, everyone present understood what he meant.
If the coordinates of even a proton cannot be changed, then the possibility of getting an entire fleet moving...
is tantamount to the Academy of Sciences directly opening the Wushuang, driving the Genesis Fortress to land in this projection space, and then leading the expedition fleet to kill into the Apophis mother universe in one fell swoop and annihilate the enemy.
Well...
In comparison, Fang Yunsheng thought that the possibility of the Academy of Sciences opening the Wushuang was perhaps greater.
Thinking of this, Fang Yunsheng's face became more bitter again.
"You can't say that."
Chen Fan was not as pessimistic as Fang Yunsheng. He straightened his face and analyzed seriously: "The coordinates of macroscopic and microscopic matter cannot be modified, but I can modify the coordinate parameters of information flow and consciousness."
"......?"
Fang Yunsheng looked at Chen Fan in confusion, and for a moment he didn't understand what Chen Fan meant.
Is he trying to transform the entire fleet into an information state?
Then...
wouldn't the expedition fleet become the second ghost fleet? !
Fang Yunsheng shuddered suddenly, and his eyes turned to Chen Fan with horror.
He moved his lips, trying to dissuade this dangerous idea - if he could be a human, who would be willing to become an invisible ghost?
But as soon as the words of dissuasion came to his lips, Fang Yunsheng swallowed them again.
If this approach can help the fleet escape from trouble, or even change the direction of this war...
then this sacrifice is actually completely acceptable.
On the other side, Chen Fan, who was immersed in thinking, did not notice Fang Yunsheng's entanglement. He just continued to talk to himself: "It is known that this space is very likely to be the information projection of the hyperspace membrane, and there is no matter in any form in the projection space."
Suddenly, he asked a question out of the blue: "Then what state are we, this fleet, in now?"
"..."
Fang Yunsheng was stunned.
"Matter, material state?" On the side, the blood-red marquee stopped flashing at some point, and Hongshi asked tentatively.
"In short, I can still perceive my body, it is definitely not in the information state!"
"Information state can actually perceive the existence of the body, this phenomenon cannot be used as evidence." Chen Fan smiled silently, "To put it bluntly, perception is just a summary of the information received by the thinking organ. At worst, you can think about my situation."
Hongshi was speechless.
"However, although the solution is wrong, the conclusion is still correct." Chen Fan looked thoughtfully at the brilliant golden light curtain and the endless dark deep starry sky outside the holographic porthole, "We are indeed not in the information state now."
"Remember the particle weapons tested before? If it existed in the information state, it would not dissipate after leaving the force field of the Genesis Fortress."
The next second, Chen Fan changed his tone: "But, it is very likely that the fleet does not exist in a material state."
"Why do you say that?" Redstone asked in a low voice.
"According to my understanding, there should be a huge gap between the material and information states. Although the two are interdependent and together constitute the world we see, they do not interfere with each other." Chen Fan shrugged and said what he had learned from experience, "This is why I couldn't change the coordinate information of the physical material before."
"Using the change of information flow to pry the change of the material world, this is actually the direction that the Academy of Sciences is fully researching."
Chen Fan subconsciously added: "So far, only singularities have demonstrated this ability."
"Neither material state nor information state..."
Fang Yunsheng vaguely realized: "You mean..."
"Intermediate state." Chen Fan made a concise summary.
Hongshi suddenly realized: "Wave-particle duality?"
"Almost, it can indeed be understood this way." Chen Fan was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "Information flow is illusory, while matter is real. Perhaps... it can be called virtual-real duality."
"But then again, the light stone produced by the Xinaluo mother star is actually in this state, but it exists in the material world, so the properties it exhibits are more inclined to matter."
"As for how to prove this conjecture..."
Chen Fan turned his head and looked at the water cup placed on the side of the console: "It's actually very simple."
He thought, and gently touched a stream of information as usual.
Under his control, the information flow quickly extended to the inconspicuous water cup and wrapped around it like silk.
Chen Fan closed his eyes slightly and tentatively touched the ridiculously long string of coordinate parameters.
There is still a certain resistance.
But compared with the previous resistance, this resistance is almost negligible!
It's done!
Chen Fan's heart was suddenly settled!
The next second.
Swish!
Amid the exclamations of the crowd, the water cup disappeared directly from everyone's sight.
"Oh my..."
Looking at the water cup that appeared in Chen Fan's hand without any warning, Fang Yunsheng subconsciously took a breath of cold air: "This, this is too..."
He didn't know how to describe his feelings for a while.
Chen Fan weighed the water cup in his hand and looked at it. After confirming that there were no visible scars on it, he finally showed a relaxed smile on his face: "It seems that we are lucky."
As he said, he raised his hand and handed the water cup to Isa beside him:
"Use the scanning device to check it carefully again."
"If there are no problems, the fleet should be able to move."
...
The entire inspection process did not take much time.
A few minutes later, the holographic interface in front of Chen Fan showed various detailed parameters from the scanning instrument - considering that the subsequent coordinate modification plan would involve the warship and the personnel on board, the accuracy of this scan even reached the level of basic particles.
The result is quite good.
The cup itself did not produce any abnormal areas due to the coordinate jump.
"The next step is biological and human experiments." Chen Fan's expression became much more solemn. He raised his head again and looked at Fang Yunsheng in the communication channel. "Before that, I have a question for you to answer."
Fang Yunsheng was slightly stunned, and then he straightened his expression: "You say."
"Do I have to continue the anti-invasion plan of the Apophis mother universe that I told you before?"
Chen Fan asked softly: "I don't know how to get out of this projection space at the moment, but I think... if the returnees are connected to the main universe, maybe the Academy of Sciences can give us some help." Fang Yunsheng
fell silent.
His eyes moved to the hyperspace membrane simulation star map that Chen Fan had opened earlier. The pale yellow area symbolizing the territory of the Human Union was extremely small, like a small island in the vast ocean, and the red dot representing the Z619 expedition fleet was a fishing boat that could not be any smaller far away from the island.
The terrifying distance between the two made Fang Yunsheng close his eyes subconsciously.
He took a few quick deep breaths: "If the battle plan continues..."
"I can't guarantee whether the plan will succeed, but there is at least a possibility of doing so."
Chen Fan said frankly: "To tell you the truth, if I'm not mistaken, the Apophis giant scorpion can invade any universe of the Human Union through black hole jumps, as long as they can lock the coordinates of the central singularity..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Fan suddenly froze.
"Lock the coordinates of the singularity?" Fang Yunsheng, who heard about this for the first time, immediately looked anxious, "So simple? Then the Human Union would be..."
"No, it looks simple, but the actual operation is still quite difficult." Seeing that Chen Fan didn't speak, Hongshi on the side took over the conversation, "The hyperspace membrane, the cosmic bubble, and the central black hole, these three are in constant motion. Theoretically, those giant scorpions need to find a very complex five-dimensional space function solution to complete the final singularity lock."
"That's also very dangerous!"
Fang Yunsheng said in an urgent tone: "What if the singularity coordinates of the Human Union's main universe are locked, then the Human Union would be..."
"I think I know..."
Chen Fan ignored Fang Yunsheng, but just muttered to himself in a low voice.
"Got it?" Fang Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What did you know?"
"Why did the king of the Apophis giant scorpion look at me with such horror in the end." Chen Fan's face changed slightly, "Because I have mastered the coordinates of the other party's universe, no, to be more precise, I have mastered the coordinates of the central black hole and the central singularity of the other party's universe!"
"In this beyond-visual-range war, they were the first to expose their positions!"
Fang Yunsheng's face also changed: "This is bad..."
"Huh? What's bad?" Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Fang Yunsheng with a strange expression, "Shouldn't this be good news for us?"
You kid...
Which side are you on?
"No time to explain in detail!" Fang Yunsheng urged hurriedly, "The anti-aggression plan must continue! This may be the only hope for the Human Alliance to turn the tables!"
Chen Fan: "???"
Is the situation... so bad?
"Think about it carefully." Seeing that Chen Fan did not make any move, Fang Yunsheng became more and more anxious. "If the coordinates of the Human Union's main universe were known by an Apophis giant scorpion, what do you think the Human Union would do?"
The moment the voice fell, Chen Fan's face finally changed.
Is there still need to think about it?
Of course, do your best to destroy the giant scorpion at all costs, or...
a quick battle, and resolve the battle before the other party has time to counter-invade.
"Fuck."
Chen Fan's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
God has eyes. He just wanted to do a small information flow interference experiment on those giant scorpions before, but he never thought of pushing this war to the climax directly! !
Chen Fan hurriedly got up and walked towards the special medical cabin at the back: "Give me a small shuttle ship. After the human body coordinate jump experiment is successful, the fleet will head to the Apophis mother universe!"
...
A few hours later.
Chen Fan's consciousness appeared in the familiar "battery cabin" again.
The shuttle jump experiment was very successful.
Perhaps due to the duality of reality and virtuality, the shuttle and the passengers on board both have a certain degree of information flow characteristics, and the coordinate jump did not cause any damage to them.
"Notify the entire ship to get ready."
Looking at the azure light spots gradually filling up around him, Chen Fan took a deep breath and sent a message to the Genesis Fortress where he was: "The first fleet coordinate jump will begin now!"
The moment he received the response message, Chen Fan did not hesitate at all and directly triggered a high-intensity information flow from the Genesis Fortress.
Coordinate jump, start!
As the last five coordinates began to jump rapidly, the world in front of him once again showed the familiar traces of sketching.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
When the coordinate parameters gradually stabilized, the sketch world outlined by minimalist lines gradually returned to the right track-the colors gradually filled in, the details of the picture gradually filled in, and even the style of the lines became softer.
"The first coordinate jump is complete."
Chen Fan took two breaths and calmed his brain, which was a little dizzy due to excessive effort: "Current coordinates: [X,... [32]...], cumulative jump distance..."
His voice suddenly paused, and he seemed to be shocked by the result: "Mr. Duo?!!"
"One hundred thousand pan-universe spans?!"
"How is this possible?!"
...
On the other side.
Expeditionary fleet, in the flagship command center.
Fang Yunsheng blinked absentmindedly. He looked at the deep darkness and the golden shield outside the porthole that did not change at all, and then looked at the information from Chen Fan in the holographic interface.
A sense of unreality instantly surged in his heart.
The pan-universe span, as the name suggests, is to use the longest distance across the human-connected pan-universe as a measurement standard.
Under the current circumstances, this is also a very intuitive measurement method.
"This is a jump of one hundred thousand pan-universe spans?"
Fang Yunsheng muttered in a low voice, and a little hopeful light burst out from the depths of his eyes: "It seems that..."
"It seems that it won't be long before we can officially arrive at the Apophis mother universe!"
