From any angle in the pattern space formed by the geometric lines, Lu Jin could see different forms of the world.
The three-dimensional world that ordinary people were used to was just a dot in these geometric lines.
The dots and lines combined to form geometric figures of all sizes.
From a certain angle, these figures looked like cubes, but from another angle, the shape of the figures was completely different.
In this pale and empty place, all the geometric lines were silver-gray and flashed with a faint silver light, like the crisscrossing infrared rays seen through infrared night vision goggles in the dark.
Lu Jin's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly turned off the special function of the special glasses he was wearing.
Sure enough, he could no longer see the geometric lines that spread throughout the entire space. There was only nothingness in front of him.
He then turned on the switch of the special glasses, and the geometric lines appeared again.
It turned out that these geometric lines were invisible to the naked eye!
However, although Lu Jin's special glasses simulated the imaging function of the human eye, because he had to record and broadcast, his glasses had a mechanical imaging function.
Under these circumstances, he could see the ultimate simulation state of the game.
It seemed that this AI was quite capable.
Lu Jin corrected his attitude seriously.
Mathematics was the foundation of all sciences.
The more advanced the subject, the more important mathematics was.
Lu Jin tried to take a few steps inside.
As soon as he moved, the geometric lines that crisscrossed around him changed again.
It was as if he was walking in a black and white kaleidoscope. Every step he took could be reflected in a black and white mirror image. However, with every step he took, the geometric lines around him were different from before.
It was like a permutation of a sequence of numbers.
His actions were the vectors of change.
Every step he took not only represented a change in length, width, and height, but also a change in time and space.
The fourth dimension outside of the three-dimensional space, mathematically speaking, was more than just time.
Lu Jin looked at everything in front of him and muttered to himself, "Wouldn't it be easier if we used analytic geometry to describe the four-dimensional space?"
"The length, width, and height of the three-dimensional space that we're used to can be seen as the three axes in analytic geometry, the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis. These three axes are orthogonal to each other, which means that they form a right angle to each other. This is three-dimensional space. "
After Lu Jin finished speaking, he took a step forward. The geometric lines on the screen froze for a moment, then quickly formed a new shape.
He raised his head to look at the new geometric figure in front of him. After a moment of silence, he said, "And the fourth dimension is an additional line on these three axes. We can call it the W-axis."
"This extra line, the W axis, could be time, space, or even any dimension that we don't know of."
"Its appearance gives us another dimension that is perpendicular to the space we are used to, other than length, width, and height."
"Figuratively speaking, it's like there's a box on the computer, and there's a cat in the box. When we operate the computer and look at the cat in the box from above, we're looking at the three-dimensional space from a four-dimensional space."
"We can do anything to the cat in the box."
"The current situation is that these gamers are the cats in the box. Then who is looking at the cats in the boxes from above, from outside the computer? "
Lu Jin frowned, reached out his hand, and fiddled with the geometric lines.
If he didn't wear his special glasses and looked at it directly with his naked eye, he would feel that his actions were a little ridiculous. It was as if he was playing a harp in the air, with a mechanical beauty.
"… If that's the case, from a mathematical point of view, it's impossible for anyone who enters this game to find the players who were trapped in it before."
Lu Jin came to a conclusion.
As if to verify his conclusion, he casually clicked twice and pulled up the game's control panel.
The sweet female voice of Apple's Siri that everyone was very familiar with rang out again.
"Hello, Player XXXXX. What can I do for you?"
Lu Jin remained silent and selected a few parameters from the control panel.
"Time: XX Month XX Day XXXX."
"Location: XXXX."
"NPC character: Song Haichuan."
As soon as these parameters were confirmed, the female voice of Apple's Siri changed.
"I'm sorry, the parameters you have chosen are invalid. Please choose again."
Lu Jin changed a few more parameters of time and location, but without exception, they were all taken down by the female voice.
"The player has been judged by the system to be a malicious attack and will be temporarily blocked. The block will be removed in three days. Welcome back."
With that, the geometric lines in front of Lu Jin's eyes began to spin rapidly, then shrank and shrank, like thousands of pixels on an LCD TV screen, and finally disappeared.
Lu Jin was kicked out of the game system.
He took off his helmet and said seriously, "I have to review advanced mathematics."
Lu Yuan, Song Jinning, and Huo Shaoheng: "…"
Lu Jin pretended not to see their petrified faces and said, "The mathematical foundation of this game is very solid, so it can withstand a myriad of variables."
When he walked past Song Jinning, Lu Jin stopped and asked curiously, "Director Song, did your father do well in mathematics back then?"
Song Jinning nodded blankly. "My father studied mathematics back then. He was a gold medalist at the International Mathematical Olympiad at the age of 14."
"No wonder …" Lu Jin muttered, "I want to use mathematics to analyze those 25 lines of source code."
As he spoke, he walked out the door.
Song Jinning was a little anxious. She looked at Lu Jin's back with an obscure gaze and called out to him, "General Lu, what about Nianzhi? Aren't you going to give it a try? "
Lu Jin stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her. He sighed and said, "It's useless to be anxious. The other party is too powerful. I have to think about it. "
"But it released the rules of the game and introduced a grand prize so that the closest blood relatives of the 50 million players can enter the game to find their relatives. Don't tell me that doesn't count?"
Song Jinning was very confused.
Lu Yuan and Huo Shaoheng had both been around scheming. They understood the AI as a human, so there was nothing wrong with it.
"Ms. Song, humans can lie, and so can AI," Huo Shaoheng said unhurriedly. The round gold coin in his hand landed on the table with a thud.
He reached out and grabbed it, stood up, and said calmly, "… I'm going to the Cayman Islands myself."
"What are you going to do there? This artificial intelligence has already controlled the entire network. It doesn't matter where you are. "Lu Jin shook his head." Don't do useless work. "
"Control the entire network?" Lu Yuan felt that Lu Jin was exaggerating. "It can't be, right?"
"How can it not be?" Lu Jin almost sneered. "Look, it can filter out the closest blood relatives of the 50 million players before they can log into the game. How do you think it did it?!"
"How did it do it?" Song Jinning was also curious. "Can it quickly test DNA?"
"Wrong! It doesn't need to test DNA itself! "Lu Jin looked at the game helmet on the table." It relies on big data! "
"With hundreds of millions of players and years of operation, it has long grasped big data in all aspects!"
"It knows exactly who you are, where you are, and what you've done!"
"Deducing what you're going to do next from this information is as normal as eating, drinking, and sleeping for an AI!"
"… But even if there's big data and it knows who the closest blood relatives of those 50 million players are, how can it be sure that the people who log in are those closest blood relatives?" Lu Yuan's thinking was the most practical and focused on operability.
Lu Jin rolled his eyes, then pointed at his own eyes. "Irises. That game helmet relies on scanning a person's irises to confirm their identity. Do you know what real-name authentication is? That's its real-name authentication! "
Huo Shaoheng's expression changed, and he said seriously, "So, it has already hacked into the database systems of the governments and hospitals of all levels?!"
"In theory, it should be able to do what it has done." Lu Jin shrugged. "But our sample base is too small, so we can't come to this conclusion yet."
Song Jinning breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Statistically speaking, we only have one sample. We do need to expand the sample base to determine if all the government and hospital databases around the world have been hacked by it."
Huo Shaoheng immediately made a decision. "I'll go test our country's important database system first, and then send someone to contact the officials of several large countries."
"Don't use the Internet to send any messages." Lu Jin reminded him. "It's very likely that any message you send will be monitored by it."
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "I know, so I'll send someone to contact it directly. I won't use the Internet to send messages or emails."
"… You're all gone. What about Nianzhi?" Song Jinning thought of Gu Nianzhi, who was lying unconscious in the bedroom, and felt very depressed.
"What they're doing is saving Nianzhi." Lu Yuan comforted Song Jinning softly. "If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. They're building their 'tools'. "
Song Jinning knew this was the case, but she still felt a little uncomfortable. She muttered, "If only I could go in …"
She couldn't go in even if she wanted to now.
In the following period of time, Lu Jin began to study advanced mathematics without sleeping.
Huo Shaoheng finally confirmed that the databases of the Huaxia Empire's government system, hospitals, and commercial organizations had been hacked to varying degrees by an unknown foreign system.
He was nervously assessing the scope of the intrusion and the extent of the damage.
However, what was certain was that the central control system of the Special Operations Forces had not been hacked. The most confidential databases of the Empire had not been hacked either.
Just as their progress was in a stalemate, exciting news kept coming from the Internet.
"Someone logged into the Second Life game.
In the Life game, I found my family in it! "
"Someone woke up! Their family even won the first grand prize! "
"Did you know? The grand prize of that game was more than a million! "
"The first person to eat crabs succeeded. Their family won the highest prize — the grand prize of 10 million US dollars!"
"I'm so envious! Their family has woken up, the game has been cleared, and the prize money is in their hands! This is the winner of life! "
