Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1014 - 81: Telling You Might Not Make You Understand
Boll is not a riddle-speaker, but trying to analyze useful information from his academically charged words is no easy task.
From him, Wang Yunxiao roughly deduced the history and truth of the so-called Lanton’s Upper and Lower City Districts.
Starting from the early last century, the United Kingdom entered the so-called "Victoria Golden Age" due to various reasons. In this period, the UK’s national strength developed rapidly, reaching a global pinnacle in economics, politics, culture, and science.
The then Imperial Academy of Sciences of the United Kingdom gathered a group of the world’s most outstanding genius scientists. They foresaw the coming of the end times, and for this reason, devised the Avalon Sanctuary plan.
The real core of this plan lies in three points—
First, how to define the Absolute Truth.
Second, how to ensure the stable operation of the sanctuary’s internal ecological environment.
Third, how to provide resources for Avalon.
The scientists chose a path that seemed incomprehensible to ordinary people, summed up in four words: "Mechanical Ascension".
The Industrial Revolution brought earth-shaking changes to human civilization, and all old things, including religious texts, were no longer compatible with the development of the new era. Thus, a reformed theory emerged within the religious community of those years.
They regarded God as the creator.
People unfamiliar with Western religious concepts might be puzzled by this. What’s the difference?
The difference is akin to, say, a sharp-eared, masked caped hero. Initially set as a private detective, with the passage of time and changing worldviews, he gradually possessed various high-tech equipment, a universal belt from which he could draw any magical tool, could launch a watchtower, or pilot a spaceship and sit on Mobius’s chair.
New fans raised their hands to ask, "Uncle, uncle, what superpower do you actually have?"
He said, "I’m rich."
The Bible doesn’t have the Industrial Revolution. Now that it’s here, the Priest will tell you, God is the creator, and this is a part of His plan.
Let’s not mention those trivial matters, like throwing frogs into the Nile River.
The genius scientists of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, with their staggering wisdom and the peak national power of the United Kingdom, created a supercomputer named Mathematics Transgressor.
This supercomputer is regarded as the creator of the entire Avalon project.
First, ascertain Absolute Truth with strong observational power, unaffected by any external factors.
Second, calculate the perfect societal organizational model and use it as a blueprint to build Avalon.
Lastly, humans have endless demands for resources. If the resource supply problem cannot be solved, then solve the human problem.
Flesh is weak; Mechanical Ascension!
Those involved in the Avalon project would abandon their weak flesh and upload their souls in data form into the supercomputer.
Thus, there would no longer be a need for little dresses, lamb chops, cakes, thunder teas, and opium.
Only the most basic electric energy is needed to maintain the operation of the supercomputer.
However, soon after Avalon really started operating, new problems quickly emerged.
First, the end times had not yet arrived.
During this waiting period for the end times, the Upper City did not want the abandoned lower citizenry of Lanton to form a new government, then have this new government cause some kind of trouble.
Such as pulling power lines or something.
Secondly, some geniuses in the Imperial Academy of Sciences realized a problem—
How do you ensure that Mathematics Transgressor remains loyal to humanity and faithfully serves humanity forever?
Can the Ascended overlords of the Upper City represent humanity?
Boll bravely raised this question, only to be met with ridicule, disdain, and even suppression and ostracism.
And that’s how he ended up in today’s situation.
"Their thinking is too conservative, naively believing that there are absolute, unchangeable mathematical rates, absolutely correct truths—this in itself is not scientific at all."
Perhaps because he was discussing his area of expertise, or perhaps due to the second vodka, Boll’s mental state became increasingly excited.
"Suppose... in words you can understand, in the future era, perhaps the technology grasped by humans will have undergone earth-shaking changes, able to modify the underlying mathematical rates of the universe, so that 1+1=2 becomes 1+1=3. Would the so-called truths of today still be truths?"
"That Mathematics Transgressor, is its computing process really flawless? Then why can’t it last a hundred years, not even ten years, before problems start arising?"
"I’ll tell you why!"
"From the very start, this plan was interfered with. Or rather, the person proposing this plan was interfered with."
Boll, with red eyes, said in a lowered voice, "Suppose there is someone who transmigrated from the future to the past, who, with his familiarity with history, finds a millionaire not yet successful. He imparts various knowledge to this person, teaches him how to leverage various historical events, such as the winning numbers in horse racing of a certain year, allowing him to get rich early, becoming a billionaire prematurely."
"The result is right, but for that millionaire himself? He could have built a business empire with his own hands. Now, someone guides him to avoid risks, allowing him to achieve success years in advance. Whose achievement is this? His or that person’s?"
"What if... this transmigrator had ulterior motives in coming back? He witnesses firsthand how that millionaire exploits workers’ surplus value in a factory, then comes across time, nurturing that millionaire’s love for slaughtering pigs and sheep, cultivating him into a successful butcher. What does that mean for the millionaire himself?"
"My professor totally dismisses such hypotheses, thinking I’ve overdosed on drugs. He believes those big shots in the Academy are the smartest people in the world, beyond being fooled by a mere transmigrator. He believes Mathematics Transgressor is just a cold machine, not subject to any external influence."
"If it’s just human wisdom, of course, it can’t deceive those big shots. But what about an existence beyond human? Like a biological entity in a quantum state?"
"When science and technology step out of the macroscopic physical plane and enter the microscopic physical plane, they will discover that many laws at the macroscopic physical level do not apply here whatsoever. We with our three-dimensional world’s thinking logic cannot explain dimensional rule changes beyond ours."
"In other words—someone from the future era gently pressing a quantum entanglement button can modify our current basic rules, while we, lacking understanding, cannot sense this change. It’s like those ordinary people would not perceive any change when the Temporal Tide arrives."
"We are all bugs!"
"Only the difference between grasshoppers and earthworms."
