Scholar's Advanced Technological System

1167 Optical Surgery? [Congratulations, User, for mission completion!

[Mission: Exploring The Legacy

[Description: People are narrow-minded. Even those that have climbed to the top of the mountain still need to use the wisdom of others to find what they have overlooked.

[Requirements: Collect the relics of Professor Grothendieck.

[Reward: One lucky draw ticket, random experience card. Void Memory b2 (used)]

After Lu Zhou finished talking with The Observer, he went into the system space. A mission completion popped up the second he entered the system space.

As he expected, getting the notes alone wasn’t enough. He had to unlock all of the mysteries to complete the mission.

He could finally connect some of the clues he had.

Assuming that everything The Observer said was true, then the system probably came from the Void in the extra dimension. Say, some kind of Void Civilization. This civilization was not only strong and terrifying, but it was also staggeringly ancient. Their history had even surpassed the age of the new universe and could be traced back to the old universe, which was before the big bang.

As for the Calanian Empire, they were one of the many civilizations that existed in the old universe. There was no trace left of their existence in this new universe, except some “technological relics”.

“I haven’t done a lucky draw in a long time.”

Lu Zhou looked at the lucky draw button next to his general points. He had a nostalgic look on his face.

When was the last time I did a lucky draw?

It happened so long ago he couldn’t even remember.

The wheel began to spin.

Lu Zhou reached out and touched the button again. The roulette wheel spun a few dozen times due to its inertia, before finally stopping.

[Congratulations, User, “sample” received!

[Received: Wearable facial system projection.]

A pale silver necklace was inside his inventory.

Lu Zhou looked at the description in his inventory and rubbed his chin.

A facial holographic projection system.

Emmmm…

So I can change what my face looks like?

But I’m too handsome, I don’t need this.

I’ll just save it for the time being; maybe it will come in handy someday.

Lu Zhou looked away from the necklace. He reached out and pressed on the random experience card in his inventory. The second his index finger touched the card, the card turned into golden particles, spreading out in the air.

[Congratulations, User, 500,000 physics experience points received!]

Half a million experience points was pretty good. At the very least, it was better than his previous times.

Lu Zhou looked as his physics progress bar moved by a sixth. He nodded satisfyingly and closed his characteristic panel.

This time, the system didn’t give him a mission card.

The Control of Earth and Moon mission chain had been going on for two years. And it just so happened that the ILHCRC was going full force ahead.

As for my next mission…

I’ll just finish the Control of Earth and Moon first.

…

Lu Zhou left the system space.

When he got up from the VR chair, the drone flew next to him.

[Master, are you okay?]

“I’m fine, I just need to rest a little,” Lu Zhou said as he looked at the helmet in his hand. He thought for a few seconds before asking, “Speaking of which, did you see the memory just now?”

Xiao Ai: [Yeah! 0.0]

Lu Zhou: “Did it remind you of anything?”

The drone floating in front of him began to wobble.

After a while, a text popped up on the drone screen.

Xiao Ai: [Xiao Ai has no matching information in the database… But Xiao Ai feels like many things are familiar.]

Familiar?

Kind of like deja vu?

But do artificial intelligence programs have deja vu?

If only The Observer were here to answer my questions.

But Lu Zhou realized that The Observer would probably tell him that “this involves the truth of the universe” or that he should “discover it himself”.

“How nice…” Lu Zhou looked at the helmet and sighed. He said, “Creatures in higher dimensions going to lower civilizations, they probably feel like a god.”

Xiao Ai: [Master? 0.0]

“Nothing, I’m just jealous.”

Lu Zhou jumped off the VR chair and walked next to Debris No.3. He reached out and touched the broken engine shell.

He sighed and said, “Rest in peace.

“Your story has spread from the old universe to the new universe.

“We’ll finish what you left of. People will remember that the Calanians once existed.”

The drone controlling Xiao Ai suddenly wobbled in front of him.

[Master, should Xiao Ai continue the calculations? It seems like the numbers are becoming meaningless…]

Lu Zhou thought for a bit and said, “Start from the 5.67 trillionth digit of n, and stop at the 157.5 trillionth digit.”

Xiao Ai: [Okay, okay. (@_@;)]

Even for a quantum computer, processing such a huge amount of data would take a while. However, it didn’t take too long, only a few days.

Lu Zhou thought back to what The Observer told him. He felt like there were things worthy of discovery in the 150 years of history.

Even though he might not have time to dig through the data, he didn’t have to do this alone.

In addition to Xiao Ai, he had access to a bunch of curious gamers…

…

Professor Eddington mentioned a theory in 1929 that if many monkeys typed on a typewriter, they would eventually type all of the books in the British Museum.

This was the famous “infinite monkey theorem”.

There were infinitely many irrational numbers, which meant an infinite amount of non-recurring irrational numbers.

Therefore, in theory, if someone wanted to encode information using mathematical symbols, whether it was in binary, octal, or hexadecimal code, they could find a specific irrational number that matched the information they wanted to encode.

This sounded simple, but in fact, it was actually quite difficult. Because it was almost impossible to find this irrational number.

At least, it was impossible by using human mathematics methods.

If someone could do this, theoretically, even a huge amount of information, such as the Milky Way, could be compressed into an irrational number. Of course, one would have to specify the starting and ending digit index in the number.

Lu Zhou returned to his Zhongshan International mansion and wrote his Void Memory experience in his notebook.

After writing these notes, Lu Zhou was about to close his notebook, but he suddenly thought of something. He opened the book to the title page and wrote “Science Fiction Stories”.

If someone accidentally stumbled upon this book, things might get troublesome.

Most famous scientists had been the targets of rumors such as “mental disorder” or “left science for theological research”.

Regardless of whether they were actually suffering from mental illnesses, Lu Zhou didn’t want his reputation to be ruined due to a notebook.

He wanted people to know that he was a materialist.
