Luo Nan withdrew his gaze the moment he expressed his negative attitude. He turned to look at his fingers, which were still flexing and extending. It was as if he was gesturing with something, but it was also as if he was grasping something out of thin air. It made people feel as if his words had become a complimentary gift at this stage.
The entire audience remained silent under this careless attitude. Only Luo Nan's voice reverberated back and forth:
"I know that there have always been discussions about where extraordinary powers come from these past few years … … Today, I just found out that someone gave the external environment and key conditions that led to this phenomenon the name of the X Factor. I talked about this topic a few hours ago. I don't want to repeat it now, so I'll directly reveal my attitude right now:
"The sudden appearance of human extraordinary powers really doesn't seem like a natural phenomenon. It doesn't seem like the stimulation of some inner potential. Humans are weak existences. Creatures with low perception occupy too narrow a range on the spectrum of life in the universe. It's not that easy to realize rapid self-evolution and renewal.
"Speaking of this process, there exists a key external X Factor. Whether it's the source of radiation or some other reason, I'm not the least bit surprised. I can completely accept it.
"But just this' extraordinary power 'alone, or perhaps' rapid self-evolution 'in itself, its achievements are highly orderly. It is orderly to the point that it conforms to the requirements of human self-consciousness interference … … You must know that before the Era of Distortion, the frontline theoretical research results of the objective world had clearly produced a larger and larger crack with human intuition and experience. It doesn't make sense that the world would suddenly become a slave to human consciousness after a few years.
"The reason why this is so is that I'm willing to believe that a certain existence used a black box design to bridge the crack between the mental world and the real world. It built the coupling conditions between the mental and the material, allowing self-cultivation to conform to the instinctive tendencies of humans. At the very least, it was to the point of changing the course of human civilization."
At least half of the reason why Luo Nan was careless was because he needed to organize his words. Even so, he still used a few self-made words and borrowed words that were in line with his own habits. If he were to use them in a published thesis, they would certainly not be rigorous.
But everyone present here stood at the peak of the evolution of life on Earth. Even though there were differences in intelligence, their intuition, which was rooted in talent and cultivation experience, was at the peak. They were able to form a high degree of agreement with Luo Nan.
They could understand Luo Nan's meaning. Luo Nan's words of 'just finding out' weren't worth mentioning to them, but many people were quite interested in the idea of the so-called 'black box design'.
It was not that the theory was novel, but for the idea to be implemented, the support of the power behind the design would rise to a level far beyond the current Extraordinary power structure. It was not like a research discussion, but a brainstorming or a description of a ridiculous dream.
But why couldn't he help but move closer to that side?
Among the Extraordinaries in the conference hall and some of the spectators, a portion of them had a relatively clear understanding of their own state of mind as well as the basis for their changes. There were also some who were confused purely on the basis of their senses. Everyone had different thoughts. There were subtle differences in the gazes they cast at Luo Nan.
Luo Nan was vaguely aware of this.
He raised his head again, but at this moment, many people subconsciously avoided his gaze.
"He should be a god then." At this moment, Blood Demon sighed, but his voice rose in pitch. Even in the virtual venue, his eyes were shining.
Luo Nan turned his head to look and laughed, "God? Perhaps. "
Speaking of which, Luo Nan had been in the relay station for a short seventy hours. The fragmented information he obtained was not enough to support the entire 'black box design' system.
Even though he knew the name of this black box in the Heavenly Yuan Empire, it was known as the Heavenly Abyss Spirit Network.
There was one more point that he was extremely clear on:
"It doesn't matter if it's a god or a miracle. This design itself is brilliant. Even if we only see bits and pieces of it before our eyes, we can still capture traces of rigorous clues."
Rigorous? Clues? Take it out and let me see!
There were people who were interested, and there were people who silently cursed. There were quite a few people in the conference hall who curled their lips, but in the end, no one spoke. Aside from fear, there was also the fact that Luo Nan was drawing something in the air right after.
The virtual venue possessed a corresponding demonstration mechanism. Everyone had long since understood Luo Nan's habit of drawing at the slightest disagreement. There were quite a few people in the conference hall who had studied all of Luo Nan's public lectures with great concentration. From the Cage and Configuration Theory to the Segmentation Technique and Super Configuration Theory of the past few days. Not a single lesson was missed.
At this moment, many people believed that Luo Nan was preparing to do similar work once more. He wanted to provide evidence and theoretical support for his presentation.
Everyone's eyes lit up. Some people even unconsciously changed their sitting postures.
However, they didn't.
Luo Nan didn't even explain what the lines he had drawn meant. He just jumped straight to the topic:
"What about distortion? From what I can see, it's nothing more than a large number of inferior fragments pieced together to form a pot of boiling soup or some petri dish. Perhaps they wish to create a special environment, allowing these fragments, which may indeed be of extraordinary origin, to use this most irresponsible method to find a host. They will rapidly multiply and react with each other, giving birth to new special components and the like … … Or perhaps they want to take a look at the future of society as a result of such reckless actions? "
Luo Nan's words were even worse in terms of logic. He was completely unrestrained, speaking whatever came to his mind. The main reason was that the coordinate system he referred to was a bit complex and chaotic.
He turned his head to the other side as he spoke. His gaze bypassed Overlord Mitchison and Apollon to point at the Black Lion a bit further away. The latter locked gazes with Luo Nan and subconsciously thought of a certain object.
It was something he had obtained from Li Wei and had just been snatched away by Luo Nan … …
This wasn't the main point. What was Luo Nan looking at him for? Did Luo Nan want him to take the lead? In this sort of situation?
Don't joke around!
Black Lion avoided Luo Nan's gaze by reflex and used a smile to hide the emotions in his heart. But no matter what, he couldn't help feeling tangled in his heart. The degree of entanglement grew deeper and deeper.
While Black Lion was tormenting himself with all his might, the direction of Luo Nan's words took a small turn. Perhaps only Black Lion and a few others who were observant were able to hear it:
"Perhaps some people would say that the distortion has manifested a certain degree of controllability. The human experiments that were previously unable to be performed due to certain reasons speak of progress in this area. I won't deny it … … The experiments haven't been carried out, but I've been in contact with the relevant experimental products. They do indeed manifest a certain degree of regularity and controllability. But from what I can see, this is more like the filtering of the special rules of the environment, forming an orderly adjustment.
"In other words, the distorted element is also borrowing the current environment, borrowing the unknown X Factor, to obtain order from the chaos. It has extended a winding path, and for the time being, there is no end in sight … …"
"Isn't this great!?" Someone blurted out in the venue. Luo Nan looked over, and Black Lion was the same as him. He instinctively averted his gaze, but it still seemed like deja vu.
Yes, it was that Sir General, whose position had always been erratic.
His name seemed to be Corney, and he had even participated in the identification conference last time.
Luo Nan also smiled at him, purely acting as a supporting actor this time.
"Yes, it looks like there is a path, but I can't think that this can be allowed. This is because this is very likely to give a possible light … … Yes, strictly speaking, it is a possible future with regularity and order. It is a seed of chaos.
"To put it simply, it is superfluous."
Luo Nan's attention seemed to have returned to the venue during this time, but it didn't stop him from narrating and drawing.
The space in front of him had long since been filled with countless lines and diagrams. Due to the full effect of light and shadow, it was nearly impossible to see his face clearly from the other side.
Finally, someone couldn't help but ask on behalf of others, "Professor Luo, what do you mean by drawing these …."
The one who spoke was the Order of Justice's First Oblatum.
This female expert, whose real name Luo Nan still didn't know, appeared to be a woman with an extremely gentle temperament. She really couldn't be associated with being powerful.
If Luo Nan hadn't personally experienced the level of strength that had clashed with the divine will of Her Majesty Empress Wu from tens of thousands of kilometers away, he might have believed it.
Of course, this didn't affect his answer. "Your Excellency First Oblatum, it's like this. I'm trying to use configuration to restore the effects of the distortion on the human body. I'm trying to place it into the system constructed by superconfiguration to see if I can establish a predictive model …. "
"What do you think?" The First Oblatum of Justice carried a sense of curiosity. He cast a gaze that was similar to pure art. It was as if he didn't have any other considerations.
"You overestimate yourself." Luo Nan shrugged. "What I'm saying is that my research on both sides is too shallow. Especially the distortion …. Yes, so much of what I've said is just speculation. It's all intuition. I'm already very grateful that everyone is willing to listen to me. It would be for the best if you could use it as a reference. "
"So it's like this." The First Oblatum looked pensive.
The others cursed silently. Since it's just a blind guess, where did that sort of attitude come from!?
Luo Nan was calm.
It was true that he hadn't done the relevant research, but in his life experience, there were more "advanced" examples that were clearly displayed in front of him.
Yes, it was his experience at the Relay Station.
From Luo Nan's perspective, the current situation on Earth was like a low-level reflection of the Heaven Abyss Civilization, which was confined to the Hanguang Star System. The Heaven Abyss Civilization and the Nefarious Poison Environment were engaged in a long and difficult struggle.
It was like a low-level exercise or experiment.
From Luo Nan's understanding, the destructive power of the Nefarious Poison Environment was terrifying and incomparable. It was countless times more serious than the problem of the distortion on Earth. The survivors of the Heaven Abyss Empire were actually able to persevere under such a vile environment. They were able to endlessly improve and revise their own cultivation methods ….
From this perspective, the rampant distortion wasn't necessarily a hopeless situation.
But the problem was that the existence of the Nefarious Poison Environment had already warped the pace and space for the survivors of the Heaven Abyss Empire to progress. It was only the powerful accumulation of civilization from the Heaven Abyss Empire that helped them forcefully carve out a new path on the precipice. And the more and more frequent reforms in foundational techniques had reached the era of the Relay Station. It was unknown where the future would lead ….
Luo Nan could clearly feel the stubbornness and bewilderment from the bodies of Liang Lu and the others.
If a similar scene were to be placed on Earth's civilization, even if the intensity was reduced by a thousand times, it was still possible for one to fall to the ground and shatter into pieces!
Luo Nan had considered this sort of situation when they were chatting on the pool deck, but he had no way of saying it. It was the same now.
Luo Nan had yet to speak of a truly convincing reason up until now. He couldn't speak of the Heaven Abyss Empire and the like. There was still some real evidence, such as the reactor. It was best not to beat the grass and startle the snake before sufficient investigation and evidence was obtained.
No matter how one looked at it, Luo Nan's statement was a bit empty. But it didn't matter. His attitude itself was the reason.
The venue maintained a relative silence. Clearly, everyone was pondering, weighing, and perhaps they were even engaging in private conversations unknown to Luo Nan.
This could be considered a good sign.
In the end, it was Luo Nan who spoke once more. "I know that a practical plan is needed to deal with this problem, but I really don't have any good ideas right now. Researchers don't have firsthand data. No amount of statements is meaningful …. Speaking of which, do you have an exact number for the number of infected mutants?"
Blood Demon was a bit absent-minded after sighing to the gods. Only when Luo Nan's gaze landed on his face did he come to a realization. He grinned. "If we could investigate this clearly, then it wouldn't be called losing control …."
These words weren't too accurate, but everyone understood the meaning.
Blood Demon continued, "The current problem lies in the fact that mutant infections have a typical pyramid structure. There are large amounts of phase two infected at the bottom. There is basically no possibility of reversal, but it is very difficult to distinguish with current detection methods."
"The 10% in Ha City are phase three infected who have already shown signs of mutation. There are a few discrepancies, but it won't be too much. Extrapolating from this data, there are at least 30% of the latent phase two infected, maybe even more …. Isn't that right, Little Ya? "
Apollon's blood red eyes glanced over, but he didn't respond again.
Blood Demon spread his hands. "According to the data from the last census, Ha City's population is 190 million. 30%. Just thinking about it makes my scalp go numb. Ha City has basically fallen. That's right, Xi City is the same. As for Black Africa, hehe! "
Luo Nan asked, "Can you do it a bit more meticulously?"
"How meticulous? A census of the entire population? Find out the bottom line? Create a file and establish a card? It's too difficult! The most troublesome part about the phase two infected lies in the fact that there isn't a clear indicator. It must be a comprehensive result from multidimensional laboratory testing.
"Even if we gather the power of the entire world and assist Ha City regardless of the cost, it will still take one to two years to complete the testing with a base of 100 million. But what about Xi City? What about Black Africa? What about the other cities? Plus, the mutant infections are dynamic. The degree and stages are constantly changing …. "
"I'll be responsible for finding out the bottom line." Luo Nan interrupted.
"Huh?" Blood Demon was stunned. "Responsible for what?"
Luo Nan flexed and extended his finger once more, causing the extremely simple and crude model before him to make a few rounds of zooming and enlarging. At the same time, he clearly stated:
"Do a general survey, establish a file, and clarify the scope and degree of the aberration infection … Let me do it. After all, no one knows how to detect secondary infections better than me. "
