God’s Code

Of course, this effort was limited to an extremely small scale. Among the billions of universes contained within that crystal ball, only the life forms in one universe could receive a hint.” From last night until today, I have thought about many things. “I’ve thought of it,” Liang Yingwu said abruptly. “Thought of what?” “Why it’s the four basic operations and not something else. We’ve always wondered why such a grand endeavor would use something other than more profound knowledge. You must know, even inscribing the divine code in the universe of the next level would require an astonishing amount of energy.” Liang Yingwu had a flash of insight, blurting out with his brows still furrowed, but now his thoughts were gradually becoming clearer, and his speech quickened. “Using the analogy of somatic cells, human research suggests that the lifespan of the universe is about ten billion years, and after roughly the same time, it will enter death. But for the world at the higher level, the time from the birth to the death of a somatic cell is too short. In other words, time in the lower universe is not equal to that in the higher universe. Time is just one factor; human physics research indicates that the smaller the particle, the more chaotic its movement, largely because humans haven’t yet understood its laws. In other words, when an object reaches a certain smallness, the laws change – this is the difference between classical physics and quantum physics. And the universe at the next level is countless times smaller than the subjects of quantum physics. The matter, the summarized knowledge in this universe, simply does not exist in the next. But one thing remains unchanged: logic. The four basic operations are the most fundamental logic!” With Liang Yingwu’s explanation, everyone nodded in agreement. Indeed, regardless of the circumstances, advanced life forms must possess logical abilities to explore the universe. Ming Hui quietly recited a Buddhist mantra, saying, “This is the moment of a thousand years.” The various teachings in Buddhism are not just philosophical but actually describe the structure of the real world. “I also understand why the Feisi people died after making the crystal ball,” Shui Sheng said. “Oh?” I looked at him. “I thought of it too, but it’s better for you to explain,” Lu Yun said. “The Feisi people, like us, are life forms that developed a biological civilization.” Although Shui Sheng was now human, he still felt a deep sense of belonging to the sea: “K depended on the enormous energy of the planet’s core for a project that ultimately failed, yet that Feisi person managed it with just his own energy. For us, the progress of civilization increases our understanding of ourselves, with the external world merely serving as a mirror. The more we develop, the more we understand and comprehend the microscopic world within us. I believe it was this trait that allowed that Feisi person to finally decipher the divine code. However, performing such minute and precise operations not only requires energy but also immense mental effort. On the day the crystal ball was completed, he too reached the end of his road.” At this point, Shui Sheng sighed deeply, his face showing profound admiration.
