Light Speed ​​War

Chapter 193: Event Space

Why can three-dimensional space save resources?

"Mr. Zhou, as I have hinted before, I believe that the universe, space, and matter are all designed to serve the purpose of calculating a large number of probabilistic events."

Zhou Yuan was secretly startled and glanced at the beautiful professor a few more times. Even Pan Na and Chu Xiaolu showed a look of fear in their eyes.

"Professor Huo, I don't quite understand."

Zhou Yuan only knew that there were several explanations for why space is three-dimensional. One was called the anthropic principle. Another explanation was that when the spatial dimension n is greater than 3, a stable atomic structure cannot exist in space because the interaction between fields is inversely proportional to the n-1 power of the distance. The intensity of the field decreases too quickly with distance, so the atomic nucleus cannot stably bind electrons.

Huo Jing smiled slightly, a look of joy on her face, seemingly proud that Zhou Yuan didn't understand.

"Mr. Zhou, this is just a guess, and I can't prove it."

"Yes, got it."

"The idea of ​​conserving resources in three-dimensional space is something I only recently came up with. In this macroscopic universe, the total amount of matter and energy is conserved, which determines that the speed of light, dominated by particles, remains constant. However, the universe involves too many factors in calculating a large number of probabilistic events, resulting in a vast number of possible events. This necessitates a vast amount of space to accommodate these events and enormous resources to maintain the calculations. Events with extremely low probabilities do not obey the principle of incompatibility between microscopic particles, causing ordinary matter to collapse, occupying a very small volume, and being compressed into four-dimensional space or higher. Meanwhile, high-probability events obey the principle of incompatibility between microscopic particles and are stored in three-dimensional space, occupying a larger macroscopic volume. I say that the reason three-dimensional space conserves resources is determined by the adherence to and non-adherence of the principle of incompatibility—these two exclusive rules. Moreover, isn't the time-sharing and separate storage of probabilistic events in three-dimensional space and four-dimensional space or higher also a form of resource conservation?"

"Hmm, I think I understand now. I suddenly have an idea about four-dimensional space or higher-dimensional space. Since four-dimensional space or higher-dimensional space stores events with extremely low probability, then for a set of events with extremely low probability, wouldn't events with even lower probability be stored in higher-dimensional space?"

"Mr. Zhou, your guess is very likely. I can only say it's very likely."

Zhou Yuan was completely captivated by the beautiful professor's powerful imagination and theories.

But suddenly, Zhou Yuan felt that there seemed to be something wrong with some parts of the beautiful professor's theory, but he didn't know what it was for the time being.

Fortunately, Zhou Yuan had secretly recorded their conversation with the little bee in his pocket in order to uncover the secrets of the time machine. The little bee has probably already transmitted their conversation in real time to the Imperial Fleet Headquarters Academy of Sciences.

Zhou Yuan could imagine that the scientists were even more surprised and shocked than he was when they heard Professor Huo Jing's theory.

"Professor Huo, assuming your theories are correct, then if you could also obtain a great deal of energy, how would you reassemble time, or in other words, time travel?"

"The enormous energy is merely a gateway to the four-dimensional or higher-dimensional space required for time travel. Once the cramped four-dimensional space is opened, the particle-dominated light carried by the enormous energy will quickly replace the wave-dominated light. We inject quantized matter or consciousness into this gradually expanding tiny four-dimensional space. This quantized matter or consciousness replaces the impossible one. As for the other elements of the four-dimensional space, they will be redistributed, rearranged, and reorganized under the constraints of incompatible rules. In this way, extremely low-probability events will leap to extremely high-probability events, and the four-dimensional space will transform into three-dimensional space, thus realizing time travel."

"In that case, in a world where time travel is implemented, wouldn't a portion of its three-dimensional space be rejected and replaced by a three-dimensional space converted from four-dimensional space?"

"No. The three-dimensional space that is converted from four-dimensional space will search for a suitable world to insert or create a new parallel world in the entire three-dimensional universe, as long as the events with a very high probability are executed under the constraints of the rules."

"Professor Huo, you just mentioned injecting quantized matter or consciousness into a tiny four-dimensional space. How can quantized matter or consciousness be achieved?"

Huo Jing remained silent for several minutes before raising her head. "President Zhou, besides requiring enormous energy, this is another major challenge for my entire project. When Young Master Linghu told me that you have made remarkable research in biological genetics and artificial intelligence, I seemed to see hope in solving this problem."

“Yes, Professor Huo, Brother Zhou is definitely a talent. His company is very suitable for your project.” Linghu Guang finally managed to interject a sentence.

"Professor Huo, it seems you two hit it off very well. Why not consider a collaboration?" Linghu Ying also spoke up, making her presence known.

"Yes, Mr. and Ms. Linghu are right. I believe our two companies complement each other's strengths, and I also have a strong thirst for the truth about your novel theories. Professor Huo, I solemnly announce that GenAI will engage in a deep strategic cooperation with you, not only in technology, but also in funding and talent. Of course, Mr. Linghu has already provided substantial financial support, so I will not interfere."

Linghu Guang expressed his gratitude to Zhou Yuan.

"Huh?!" Huo Jing didn't expect Zhou Yuan to decide to cooperate so quickly, and subconsciously touched her glasses.

"Professor Huo, you're a big shot now. With President Zhou's technical support, our funding, and high-ranking military officials protecting you, what are you worried about?"

"Yes, Professor Huo, as you know, with the sudden appearance of Martians, we humans may face the end of the world. The sooner you realize the time machine, the sooner you will save humanity."

Linghu Ying's words truly reminded Huo Jing. Huo Jing knew that the sudden appearance of the Martians had caused headaches for high-ranking government officials and military leaders. Even Deputy Commander-in-Chief Kachi, who frequently went to the laboratory to supervise the project's progress, was visiting the laboratory less often than before. It was likely that these military personnel were extremely worried about the Martians.

Huo Jing's expression softened slightly, and she said in a firm tone, "Okay, President Zhou, we will cooperate. However, as you know, the military's investigation into your company is still ongoing. Once they determine that your company is innocent, I will discuss the cooperation with Deputy Commander-in-Chief Kachi together with Young Master Linghu."

"No problem, we'll wait for your good news."

Thus, the tedious theoretical discussion finally came to an end. This conversation with Professor Huo Jing was very beneficial to Zhou Yuan and the Imperial scientists, and the relevant scientists of the Imperial Academy of Sciences immediately began in-depth research on time and space.

Afterwards, everyone briefly discussed the general framework of the tripartite cooperation, the division of labor among the parties, and the project schedule. Huo Jing looked at the GenAI company introduction and product brochures, and praised Zhou Yuan highly. Huo Jing and Zhou Yuan exchanged business cards, hoping to stay in touch at any time.

"Professor Huo, our company also has a lot of research on the prevention, control and treatment of human diseases, such as various cancers. A month ago, we successfully conducted a trial on myopia treatment. Given our sincerity in cooperating, you can come to our company to treat your eyes at any time. However, we have not yet obtained a medical license, and the relevant treatment equipment is not certified."

Zhou Yuan meant that if you trust me, we can help you get better sooner.

Huo Jing adjusted her glasses, still somewhat doubtful. "Oh, really? Thank you so much. I'll contact you when I have time to visit you." The beautiful woman only mentioned visiting, not seeking treatment for her nearsightedness.

"Okay, I'll wait for your call."

"President Zhou, can your company cure heart disease?" Linghu Ying asked in a coquettish voice.

"Miss Linghu, that depends on what kind of mental illness it is."

"I'm talking about lovesickness."

"If you're lovesick, it's simple, just go see Professor Huo."

"Looking for her? Why?"

"To turn back time or travel to a parallel world and meet the person I love."

Linghu Guang suppressed a laugh; he was also somewhat afraid of his mischievous younger sister.

Huo Jing left the X-WORLD company building in a hurry because she was in a rush to finish the project.

Linghu Guang and his sister led Zhou Yuan and his two companions on a tour of X-WORLD Company. Linghu Ying mainly explained the company's business operations, showing that this beautiful and capable woman was quite competent at her job. From the siblings' conversation and demeanor, Zhou Yuan learned that Linghu Guang was in charge of external affairs, while Linghu Ying handled internal matters.

"Mr. Zhou, you are so young and successful, with two beautiful women by your side. Aren't you worried that your wife will be jealous?"

"Yingmei, Mr. Zhou is still single."

Pan Na and Chu Xiaolu stared at Linghu Guang as if they wanted to devour him whole. When Linghu Guang saw Pan Na's gaze, he couldn't help but shudder.

"Oh, really? Then Mr. Zhou is truly a diamond in the rough, you must have a whole platoon of girls chasing after you, right?"

“Miss Linghu, it’s not just one company, you know? The queue stretches almost to those five suddenly appearing stars, five light-years away.”

Pan Na and Chu Xiaolu chuckled inwardly, while Linghu Ying stared wide-eyed at Zhou Yuan.

"Mr. Zhou, you're joking. She just has feelings for you." Linghu Ying was straightforward, admitting her feelings immediately. She then pressed her face almost against Zhou Yuan's.

With a cry of "Ouch!", Linghu Ying suddenly leaned against the wall. She quickly braced herself with her right hand, realizing that the heel of her high heel had broken, causing her ankle to twist hard.

Linghu Ying forced herself to endure the pain. Linghu Guang helped the girl to the chair. Linghu Ying sat down, took off her shoes and socks, revealing her fair legs. Her ankle was red and swollen.

Zhou Yuan glanced at Pan Na and telepathically said, "Little beauty, you went too far this time, didn't you?"

"Who told her to be so openly provocative? Next time I'll make her scream in pain." Zhou Yuan said with a wry smile.

Linghu Guang was on the phone, calling the company's medical staff. The medical staff rushed over. A woman looked at Linghu Ying's ankle and thought it was a minor injury. She first gently massaged Linghu Ying's ankle, then applied cold water, dried it, applied medicine, and bandaged it.

Seeing Linghu Ying leaning on her cane, Pan Na and Chu Xiaolu couldn't bear to look at her. Pan Na seemed to feel guilty as well, and quickly helped Linghu Ying to her office to rest.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm so sorry."

"Miss Linghu, it's alright. Take good care of yourself and recover. I'll come visit again when I have time. We have some other things to attend to, so we'll be leaving soon."

"Brother Zhou, let me see you off."

“Young Master Linghu, you’re too kind. We know the way. Please stay with your sister.”

"Oh, okay then. I'll call you another day to arrange a time."

"it is good."

After saying goodbye to Linghu and his sister, Zhou Yuan and his two companions left the building under the guidance of security personnel and got into a yellow sports car.
