What made Lu Ping’an lose control of his emotions?
Actually, it was nothing more than a common sense in a physics textbook, a foundation of modern physics.
"The atom is the smallest basic particle of the universe. After verification, it is no longer divisible."
It was just this sentence that left Lu Ping’an dumbfounded.
If it were an ordinary student, they might have simply overlooked this, but Lu Ping’an knew that many cutting-edge technologies in his hometown, including but not limited to quantum mechanics, unified field theory, and so on, were built on a more microscopic level.
Not to mention that atoms can be divided, the pursuit of fundamental particles has reached quarks, and mysterious quantum mechanics are constantly generating more mysteries every moment.
It’s not just about the microscopic world; the rules and origins of the universe must be discussed from it...
"....There are only two basic forces in the universe, gravity and electromagnetism? Damn it, if you don’t continue subdividing, you can’t discover the weak and strong forces. No, since it’s been determined that there’s no further subdivision, maybe these two basic forces don’t exist at all, doesn’t this indicate....."
Lu Ping’an realized that the universe he was in might have had a different fundamental structure from his original planet from the very beginning.
Originally, the subtle technology tree of this world, especially the absence of nuclear weapons such as the atomic bomb, made him think that it was just a deviation in the technology tree....
"....The technology tree could never be the same from the beginning; they could never unlock nuclear weapons...."
However, this wasn’t the most surprising thing. It was merely a difference in external things, which didn’t have a significant impact on him.
"Something’s wrong, very wrong..."
Lu Ping’an subconsciously took out his Scholar’s notebook and started drawing and writing on it.
"E=mc....Damn!"
With just this stroke, Lu Ping’an couldn’t write any further.
A bizarre black mist wrapped itself around the notebook.
His own past "common sense" was regarded as taboo knowledge in this world?!
"It’s not right. If the basic particles are different, then my body and my past body are fundamentally different... So, how did my consciousness merge into the new body?"
Lu Ping’an subconsciously wrote everything into the notebook, and the book quickly flipped through the pages, revealing more and more "truths."
"In the past world, the forefront of science does not acknowledge consciousness. In some of their theories, the human brain is actually a quantum computer, and consciousness is the result of its operation, a product of electrical signals.... But, in this world I am now, souls indeed exist! Spiritual power is easily externalized!"
"So, my consciousness... am I still me? Am I a soul? But if those cutting-edge opinions of Earth are correct, once the hardware is lost, how can the software exist independently? No, the basic particles are different, I have no reason to continue operating with different hardware."
"Who is wrong? Perhaps, both sides are mistaken... Then, is there some higher-level theory to integrate the basic rules of both worlds?"
A large amount of black mist was generated around Lu Ping’an, and a huge amount of "Pollution" was discharged from his surroundings.
For a moment, others thought that Lu Ping’an had lost control... But, Hu Xueyi stopped them and, on the contrary, at the request of the big cat, quickly brought even more "blank notebooks."
Though not many words were in those thoughts and conversations that seemed like murmurs, they easily filled with one thick notebook after another.
The black mist grew thicker, and the Pollution on the notebooks became more terrifying. The terrifying dominance leaking out made the strongmen in the team subconsciously think of Evil Gods.
"The fundamental particles are different, so all the physical constants and formulas are naturally different... I understand now, why the technology trees of each world are different. The fundamental particles and physical constants of each time could be different! They can only start anew... "
"No, that’s not right either. It’s too difficult and impossible to climb up in a short time. Their physical common sense should be relatively close, and there shouldn’t be a fundamental gap as big as between the two Earths. Their differences may not have reached the level of basic particles... So, is it at the molecular level?"
More and more "truths" were written into the notebook, and Lu Ping’an’s thoughts and consciousness began to diverge. For the first time, he used the theoretical foundations of modern physics to observe this miraculous world.
".... If it’s limited to atoms, then this multiple universe would be a purely physical universe, a solid world from the very beginning, without quantum mechanics. Uh, a purely material world... isn’t that a bit low-dimensional?"
"No, it’s not that it’s low-dimensional. It’s just that the world I’m in is simply low-dimensional..."
"In that case, if I use quantum mechanics to explain Pollution, it seems to make sense. If the fundamental particles are transmitted... Uh, that’s indeed hard to resist. So, maybe the so-called source of Pollution is not Pollution at all... No, that’s not right, I still lack a lot of theoretical basis, so I can’t just make that conclusion..."
"Interesting, interesting. Then a lot of things make sense now..."
Blood was flowing from Lu Ping’an’s eyes, but his hands were writing frantically.
He was not alone... At this moment, he stood on top of the achievements of an entire world.
Countless natural scholars and physicists spent their whole lives researching the "truth of the world," which then became the exercises and basic textbooks for later generations. It was an entire world... a complete "rule" for the entire multiple universe.
As he tried to use the "worldly truth" he learned from countless top scientists to decipher the truth of his own world, he unknowingly touched... the real taboo.
Blood kept dripping, but it unknowingly turned into black blood, and his entire body became a mass of blood.
Lu Ping’an’s condition was quite terrible, the amount of blood loss made people wonder how he was still alive...
In fact, he instinctively gave himself an extension and continued to write.
[Congratulations host, you have gained a large number... countless Professional Experience in Writing (Pollution), congratulations host, your Professional Skill in Writing (Pollution) has increased, currently lv11... 12... 13...]
The upgrade was so fast that even the speed of the panel couldn’t keep up. It was going crazy on the screen, but Lu Ping’an himself had no time to glance at it at all.
"I get it, I get it... So that’s how it is, that’s how it is... All life... This makes sense, this is Wanling... No, the term Wanling is not appropriate, it should be... Constant Motion Ten Thousand Spirits!"
"Lu Ping’an!" Big cat screamed for the first time. At this moment, she did not hesitate to order Hua Xueyi to wake up Lu Ping’an.
When Lu Ping’an uttered that "name," even the Life Courtyard began to collapse, as Rule-level could not bear the price of "Taboo knowledge"...
Lu Ping’an’s appearance was quite terrifying. For the first time, he mutated all over his body and grew many extra parts.
At the same time, his "tentacles" subconsciously tore open the newly written "Taboo Notes"... The theoretically difficult-to-destroy Taboo Notes were instantly torn and turned to ashes, as if the world simply did not allow their existence.
However, more strangely, at this moment, Lu Ping’an laughed. Under the hollow and black blood filled eyes, that extremely pale face held a wild laugh.
"Haha, I understand now, it’s not that I found you, that I saw you. It’s that from the very beginning, it was you who found me..."
"Lu Ping’an, wake up!"
But before Hua Xueyi could slap him, Lu Ping’an had already rolled his eyes and fainted.
He was completely unable to hold on any longer, or rather, he couldn’t "think" any more at this time.
At this moment, something suddenly crossed his system panel, something that could probably be considered a minor interlude.
"[Congratulations host, successful third-tier Scholar’s Special Advancement... Taboo Scholar (%&*%Unreadable%Analysis Failed)]."
