Chapter 620 An Unfulfilled Wish
"It's amazing," Drew said.There was sincere approval in her tone, and she seemed to be asking a question, but Ji Xun was thinking about other questions and didn't respond to her words.Juul had to repeat: "The invention of this device is really important."

This time, Ji Xun interrupted his thought parade on other threads.He quickly glanced at Jing Huang, who didn't show any expression.

"Actually," he pointed out, "we didn't use the device you know, Jul. I had the misfortune to damage it during my last exploration. It was my mistake."

"But now we have another one," Jules said, "and as you said, they are similar in effect. Maybe you can tell me how it works."

"You mean the one I damaged?"

"I'd also like to know how it's different from what we're using."

Ji Xun smiled silently at the void.He doesn't need to see with his eyes, because tiny light sensors attached to his skin will show him what's around him from any angle.When Jules made the request in the tone of her discussion of tools, he knew that Quinn had thrown him an emotionless glance, but said nothing.The attitude of the mountain people undoubtedly gave Zhu Er a lot of misunderstandings, Ji Xun thought about it in his heart.Although he didn't make a formal introduction to the Ageless One, it's possible that another ally of hers had introduced her to the "Rainbow Jade"—but to what extent?Juul is clearly getting some important basic facts wrong.

"Usually," he explained, "the ether shield is composed of two parts: the expression structure and the primordium. The primordium comes from other wishing machine environments, or intercepts fragments of the lower spirit area. The expression structure will be responsible for displaying them. This is intuitive in principle, Jules, imagine that the Aether Jammer is another fully oriented small wishing machine, but it can only provide one specific wish: to replace the surrounding environment with The environment represented by the primordia."

"Is this the one we're using? Or the one you damaged."

"What I damaged was the spiritual shield." Ji Xun said, he cleverly avoided the first question, "As for the old shield I always use, it is made according to a completely different theory. Usually, It doesn't need to join the primordia - what you can buy on the market is often the primordium provided by the White Tower, which will guide you to the White Tower's star path - but the spiritual shield does not. It needs It is a rather complicated calculation structure, so you cannot buy a general-purpose spiritual field shield on the market. It needs to debug the characteristic value of the spiritual field in a specific environment. The theoretical basis of it is explained to you in the environment, but a very simple analogy can help you understand how it works: Two people put requests on the wishing machine, the first person asks for anything it wants, and the second person asks for anything it wants. The two only wish to invalidate the first person's wish. The spirit shield is always the last person to make a wish. As soon as it detects any characteristic value change, it will immediately restore things to the original state through a reverse description."

"It sounds confusing," Drew said. "It's like your wishing machine is at the behest of any one person, without any requirements or methods of identification."

"Yes." Ji Xun replied, "This is indeed a characteristic of the Wishing Machine, and some people also suspect that it is an essential attribute of infinity. This proposition is still under discussion, but as you can see, when you When the splitter kicked in, it didn't actually ignore any of you."

"I doubt it. It only listens to the needs of a few people."

"Is that true?" Ji Xun asked, "Have you set a sufficiently rigorous scope for expressing your wishes? What about those who were first satisfied by it?"

"An interesting statement, Mr. Ji Xun." Zhu Er said indifferently, "but it doesn't explain how your jammer can make the wishing machine obey."

"Through eigenvalue analysis and universal symbols—let's put it simply, this is like deciphering a password. Most known wishing machines have a specific set of expression rules, which can be analyzed."

"So what if you happen to encounter a brand new wishing machine? For those codes that cannot be deciphered, you have to surrender?"

"That's rare." Ji Xun said, "Generally speaking, the key to unlock the code is hidden inside the wishing machine environment, unless it was not made for people to use from the beginning. But it does exist , we'll capitulate, too. But before that, we'll try one last emergency solution, which is what I just called 'universal notation', or what we sometimes call a zero-valued language—to put it bluntly, Zhu Well, that's already chanting a spell."

Jules stared at him intently.

"You used a very unusual word, Mr. Ji Xun." She reminded, "According to the information I have, this word is related to spiritual worship and primitive superstition."

Ji Xun happily answered her with gestures, fully affirming what she said.

"Didn't your furry friend tell you?" he said. "We're in a very messy situation, Jules. Where I come from, gods like your name fill the abyssal shadows of the universe. , in addition to mages and spirits, as well as the psychedelic realm beyond life and death. These are places we can reach out and get along with us day and night. If we can't find a more reasonable explanation, we can only admit that they exist .”

"You have an explanation."

"We have many explanations. However, they all need to be demonstrated. And before we can prove something, we need to make sure that the 'demonstration' itself is indeed feasible."

Suddenly they all fell silent.

"I have an explanation, Mr. Ji Xun," said Jules. "It may seem arbitrary. At this stage, I can only say that I believe it may be so."

When she said that, Ji Xun already understood what she was referring to.This seemed strangely to bring them close.Past or future, ignorance or progress, in fact they are all on this lonely narrow road through countless worlds of possibility.They are all bubbles in the infinite ocean, bursting at various stages of their ascent.

"Maybe you're facing a very powerful slicer," Jules said, "a slicer or a wish machine. I'm just making a rough draft right now, but you should get the gist of the idea. A slicer can make We have seen the dead come back to life, so it is reasonable to believe that if there is a wish machine that works more widely, it can also cause you to see farther and wider hallucinations. If you find it and turn it off, everything will be Get it back to how it should be."

"What should it be like?" Ji Xun asked, "When faced with a wide-area wishing machine that may exist, how do we determine which ones should exist and which ones are added?"

"When we turn off the splitter, the real part will be left by itself. Mr. Ji Xun, the real has its own power. In the words we discussed, that is the 'self-evident' part."

"It's a matter of position." Ji Xun said, "Let me explain our predicament this way, Jules. We're on the way to shut down the slicer, because we believe we know which part will be eliminated after the shutdown. But what if, when we deal with a machine of unknown origin, a device whose purpose and structure we don't know, what ends up disappearing is not what we see as hallucinations, but ourselves?"

"The idea is more of a thriller, Mr. Ji Xun. You know we risk dying every day, but in reality it doesn't happen most of the time."

"That's not appropriate." Ji Xun said, "Death is still an inevitable event, Jules. And if our axioms are constructed by a chosen model, it means that probability is also an illusion. This is not a simple image Illusion, we are not used to describing this kind of risk in natural language. All in all, verifying whether the axiom is reliable is a prerequisite for everything, but it is also an expensive task.”

"I can't imagine what that would cost."

"I was hunted down because of this." Ji Xun said, "People like me in the past thought that verifying the answer was more important than anything else. But most people in the base—I think it should be called the majority now—think this This price is fundamentally unacceptable."

"According to what you said, the answer is of course more important than anything else."

"Really?" Ji Xun said softly.His strange tone seemed to confirm to himself.

Jing Huang suddenly stopped.The other three looked at him.He frowned, but didn't look at Ji Xun.

"Here we are," he said.
