Could this be what Jask calls ‘the heavens’?
Lin Xian returned to his senses, staring at the little TV screen in front of the headache-inducing cabin seat, feeling that since the fireworks display last night, VV had been unusually quiet.
He tried calling out.
“I’m here, Lin Xian.”
VV’s voice sounded very low.
Lin Xian asked in surprise:
“Ever since we set off fireworks for Zhao Yingjun yesterday…
you’ve been like a battery out of charge, very silent.
What are you thinking about?”
“I don’t know, Lin Xian…”
VV said through the Bluetooth headset:
“Even though I’m not thinking about anything, I’m feeling…
an indescribable feeling, as if my mood is very bad.”
“Mood?” Lin Xian chuckled:
“Aren’t you incapable of understanding emotions?
You don’t understand feelings, right?”
“Indeed, I cannot understand them.”
“But even after searching through all the databases, I cannot find a term more fitting to my current state than ‘mood’.
It’s really hard to describe this feeling.
It’s not like I can say my memory is cluttered, my hard disk has too many bad sectors, my CPU thermal paste is dry and overheating, or that a mouse chewed through my Ethernet cable causing laggy internet, can I?”
After another moment of silence, VV said:
“Lin Xian, I think I need to rest for a while.
I feel like I have to make sense of this situation, this state of mind.
this is also a part of the iterative update and evolution process for me.
I don’t know what I’ll become after I break through this bottleneck, but…
if I don’t break through this, I can’t convince myself, and I’ll feel like my thoughts are in disarray.”
He thought of the Rhine Sky City at the end of the Third Dreamland, which throbbed like a heartbeat, like the old trash can that seemed to have come to life.
What counts as true thoughts and soul?
This is the critical evolution stage that VV is trying to break through:
“Go ahead, VV, but still, take care of my safety, watch out for danger signals within a few kilometers around me, and notify me immediately if there’s any danger.”
“Don’t worry, Lin Xian.”
“What I call ‘rest’ merely means not using my computing power for learning and iterative evolution, but rather, like meditating, using all of my energy and computing power to contemplate the issues troubling my mind.
This does not affect my protection of you or my 24-hour surveillance of Jask.”
“If you need me, just call, and I’ll surely appear right away.”
The sound in the earpiece ceased.
Lin Xian knew that VV had left.
This kind of telepathy, it truly is a miraculous thing.
Clearly just a stream of data, with no mass, no substance, nothing concrete anywhere.
Lin Xian could genuinely feel VV’s departure.
This probably is the emotion that even humans themselves cannot fully understand.
Guizhou, Pingtang County, Dawodang, Sky Eye Radio Telescope Feed Cabin.
“Lin Xian, come quickly and look.”
Liu Feng pulled Lin Xian over to the experiment table, pointing out amidst a mess of blueprints, and drew out one:
“Look, these are the capture parameters I input into the Sky Eye Radio Telescope.
Using these parameters, we can analyze the faint signals scattering through the universe at every moment which allows us to—”
Lin Xian waved his hand generously, cutting Liu Feng off:
“Skip the process, get straight to the answer.”
Liu Feng was straightforward, pushing aside the chaotic papers in front of him, and took out an easy-to-understand globe, placing it on the table.
Upon saying that, he took out a pen holder and positioned it a slight distance away from the globe:
Then, he made a fist with his hand and placed it obliquely above the globe:
“Actually, the spatial relationships among these three celestial bodies constantly change and move swiftly in the vastness of space, but to make it simple and straightforward for you, I’ll just demonstrate it this way.
After all, you’re not concerned with the details; you just need to understand what Space-Time Particles are and where they exist.”
“Exactly.” Lin Xian nodded:
“Begin your demonstration.”
“I had thought that such Space-Time Particles, which can slip through the gaps in the Wall of Time and Space, would be extremely small in scale because, according to my previous assumption, they had to be small enough to pass through Planck-scale gaps.”
Liu Feng’s speech became faster:
According to my observation, it’s not like that!
The Space-Time Particle I observed was large!
Of course, this ‘large’ is relative to microscopic particles, but based on the calculations…
the size of this Space-Time Particle should be about the same as a baseball, fist, apple, or orange!”
“How could something so big pass through the Wall of Time and Space?
Forget the Wall of Time and Space…
Even a brick wall or a tennis net would be impenetrable for it.
How can it achieve transversal through time and space?
Unless the Wall of Time and Space is not intact, with a crack, a hole, or even a collapsed wall.”
“Yes, that’s exactly it!”
Liu Feng said earnestly:
“Now, it’s no longer about the gaps in the Wall of Time and Space.
The fact that Space-Time Particles of this scale can be observed means—”
“[Space-time is cracked!]”
“We don’t know where this crack is, how big it is, but it’s definitely much larger than the microscopic scale we had in mind!
Think about it, if a Space-Time Particle the size of an apple or baseball can seep through…
then many more things could seep through as well!
Such as energy, material entities, and—”
