As soon as they returned to the fleet's territory, Xiao Ran took two steps forward and stepped aside. Then, he suddenly turned around and looked behind him. His gaze swept over everyone, sizing up Graham, Ingram, and the others behind him.
The feeling of being stared at made everyone present feel uneasy for some reason. Then, Xiao Ran took off the mask on his face and revealed a thoughtful expression. He frowned and shook his head.
Xiao Ran suddenly smiled and waved to everyone. "Oh, it's all right. Everyone go rest."
After saying that, Xiao Ran turned around and left. Looking at Xiao Ran's back, Elsam raised his hand and touched his chin. "I think Lord Xiao Ran seems to be thinking about something very unusual. He probably thinks that none of us are suitable to think about what he's thinking."
Bai Hechou paused and looked at Elsam. "I'm afraid that you're the only one who saw through it in the end. Otherwise, why would Cruzet and Uzzes run away in such a hurry?"
Xiao Ran returned to his study and kept thinking, but no matter how hard he thought, he only felt that there seemed to be a wall blocking his way of thinking. No matter how hard he thought, he could not break through the wall and enter the world behind it, a world with the truth of Prometheus. But now, he was very, very close.
"Purpose, core …" Xiao Ran frowned and pondered. "What is Prometheus' ultimate purpose? If the eternal existence of the system is for balance, then what is Prometheus' purpose? No matter how I look at it, Prometheus seems to have nothing to do with balance. "
"Yan, come in."
Xiao Ran raised his head and shouted at the door. Soon, the door of the study was pushed open and Yan walked in. She looked at Xiao Ran with her big eyes and a gentle smile. "What's the matter, Lord Xiao Ran?"
Xiao Ran stood up and said, "Help me inform Kiliam … … and Hades. Have them meet up with me at the Technical Department."
Yan nodded. "Yes, Lord Xiao Ran."
Xiao Ran left the mansion and went directly to Law's technical headquarters, where he waited for Kiliam, Hades, and Law, the head of the technical department, to arrive.
"Why are you here again?" Law took off his white coat and threw it aside. He had just been in the factory under the technical department guiding everyone to modify the new machine. When he heard that Xiao Ran was looking for him, he hurried back.
Hades sat by the side expressionlessly, while Kiliam nodded at Rowe.
Xiao Ran said, "I want to create a new department. I'm wondering if I should put this department under the technology department or be independent."
Law sat down and asked, "What kind of department?"
Xiao Ran said, "It's a research department, but it doesn't research technology, only logic."
The people present seemed to be deep in thought, but they felt like they were looking at flowers in a fog.
Law asked, "Research logic, super AI?"
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded gently and pointed upward. "Research its logic."
Law's eyes widened, and Kiliam also showed a hint of surprise. Only Hades's eyes flashed with interest.
Xiao Ran continued, "This is of utmost importance to both of us. I need logic experts, technicians, researchers, as well as the assistance of a super AI. Both Little Myna and Nivan Lina need to join in. Apart from that, I also need Sophia's help to conduct a complete deduction, to find its logic from scratch and dig out its loopholes."
"We can create a Prometheus of our own in the world created by Sophia."
Law smacked his lips with a complicated expression. "Such a big thing, only the four of us can discuss it?"
Xiao Ran said: "Because it's useless for other people to join in. When the department is set up, let them join in to help."
Law was silent for a moment and shook his head gently. "It's too hasty. I don't support it. I don't think it's enough now. We have to wait."
Xiao Ran didn't expect Law to refuse and asked strangely, "What do you think?"
"It's too hasty to create another Prometheus. Now there are many things about Prometheus that we can't understand with our current technology, such as how it strengthens participants, what's the matter with attribute points, what's the mechanism of skills, how to control time and travel through space silently. We can't do these yet."
"The dimensions are different."
A faint voice sounded, and everyone looked at Hades with a calm face at the same time.
"Because dimensions are different, according to what you can understand, you are still in the third dimension, a three-dimensional life form in the fourth dimension. But I was once at the peak of the third dimension, and I was able to come into contact with the fourth dimension, so I am a god. But I can't control or influence time, and you are the same. I know that in my world, there is an existence that transcends dimensions, an existence that can truly control time and influence the entire universe. However, he can only influence that universe, because his ability is given by that universe."
"But I don't know about Prometheus. The great power it has seems to come from itself, not from any universe, so I think Prometheus is an existence that has really entered a higher dimension. It can affect time, control matter, and change all the rules of any three-dimensional life under the four-dimensional world. This is already a higher dimensional power across multiple dimensions, otherwise it can't bring half of my body here."
"In fact, Xiao Ran, you can already touch the real fourth dimension, can't you? Although your eighth sense is only a false eighth sense, you have another ability that is completely different from the small universe, but if you can fully master that power, you can affect time and even countless multi-dimensional worlds."
Xiao Ran nodded gently, "The quantum domain, but that place is too scary. Until now, I only dare to use the power of the quantum domain and dare not go deep. It's too difficult to fully familiarize and even control the quantum domain. My personal spirit is like a leaf in the sea, there is nothing I can do."
Law scratched his head and said, "Prometheus is an existence of a higher dimension, of course, I know this, but how it does what I said is the key. Can a higher dimension do everything? What's the principle, the mechanism? Hades, since you have been in contact with the fourth dimension, do you know how it affects all this? "
Hades looked at Law very calmly, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised: "I'm just making an analogy to give you a horizontal comparison. What I can do depends on my ability and instinct. What I can do is what I can do, and what I can't do is not. I know literature, I can draw, I can play the piano, I can write poems, I can fight and I can kill people. These are just like breathing, but I'm not you. My knowledge and yours have a serious gap. Are you discussing the principle and mechanism of dimensions with an illiterate person? Discussing science and technology with a magician? "
"We are different. Everything about me can't be explained by technology, and I don't understand the technology you have mastered."
"Ahem." Xiao Ran coughed softly, and Law was stunned for a moment, then he laughed awkwardly.
Hades looked at Xiao Ran and said, "But he's right. We're too anxious. We still lack a force that can resist. It can be me or you, so that we can at least have the ability to protect ourselves and negotiate when something goes wrong."
Xiao Ran said, "I understand what you mean, but even if we don't create a Prometheus that belongs to us, we can also set up this department first, and then deduce its logic in various ways. We have a great advantage in this respect. We can create a fake Prometheus in a world composed entirely of data, right?"
Law thought for a moment: "I see. Since you want to, then we'll set it up, but this department is not suitable to be under the technical department. It just so happens that you're here. In fact, I was going to look for you in two days even if you didn't come to me, but today you can help me solve something that I can't decide."
Xiao Ran asked, "What's the matter?"
Law stood up, walked back to his desk, took out a document and handed it to Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran opened the document and looked directly at the title of the document. On the practical significance of basic science for future development, application for in-depth research and development of basic science.
Xiao Ran looked up at Law, obviously wanting Law to explain to him what this was.
"Basic science is a subject that studies natural phenomena and the movement of matter, and explores the laws of nature's development. It includes mathematics, chemistry, biology, physics, astronomy, and so on. It can bring great guidance and influence to many fields such as technology and science. It has always been an aspect that we have neglected."
"I'm not an expert in this area. This is an application report jointly submitted by some researchers and technicians below. It shows that our technical development is still in a state of deformity. Most of the technology is absorbed and assimilated from outside. There is no real basic science tree of our own. Our basic science has always been in a slow stage of development. To sum up, if we can develop basic science to a higher level, our technology will also make a huge breakthrough."
Law looked at Xiao Ran and Hades who were listening attentively. He didn't know how to describe the impact and changes that basic science could bring. After a moment of silence, he made an analogy: "If basic science breaks through to a very high level and grasps the law of all things, we can capture the sun and shrink it into an energy furnace, we can destroy the planet with a chopstick, we can change the rotation of the galaxy with a wave of our hand, we can give newborn children the ability to become gods, we can change time, and we can travel through the past."
"Not in a mysterious way, but to give everyone the ability to change and influence everything, and even create a Prometheus that belongs to us in another world. It can give you a better understanding of the quantum field, it can make the small universe technologically, and it can completely transform the world created by Sophia into a real world by technical means."
Xiao Ran and Hades nodded at the same time. This time, they expressed their understanding.
Xiao Ran said, "So, this is good for the whole territory. Of course, we have to support it."
"Just say that you support it." Law waved his hand weakly and said, "But the process of studying basic science is very difficult and boring. Maybe there won't be any progress for a long time, but once there is progress in one aspect, many other aspects can be driven by it. It's just that the early stages also require a huge investment."
Xiao Ran said, "You can just find someone to arrange it. The army will give you the greatest support."
"The initial preparations will take at least a few years. There are too many things mentioned in this report. The key is that our technological capabilities are actually very strong, so the requirements for the next step of the research are higher. They have applied to build a planetary-grade super-large collider, as well as some other equipment that we have not researched. This will be a research investment even more terrifying than the construction of a fortress like White Star. At the same time, most of the research forces in the technical department will also shift their focus to this side to provide technical assistance."
Law paused, looked at Xiao Ran and continued, "The impact is not small, so before, I was very cautious about whether to pass this report at this time."
Xiao Ran said, "What does it matter? Time is the last thing we lack. A short stagnation can bring long-term development. Of course, it's a good thing."
Law spread out his hands. "But we don't have any merit points. We don't have money to buy time. If we purely use the resources in the territory to operate this matter, it is estimated that the normal development in many aspects will be affected."
"Well, this is indeed a problem." Xiao Ran nodded gently and said, "Before, the integration of so many armies and the promotion of so many S-class pilots at the same time has almost used up all the merit points, but we still have four mission cards in our hands. I think we can still get some money back. I'll think of a way to do this."
"But this must be done. You go and arrange this. Kiliam, you from the Logic Research Department will be in charge."
What could Kiliam say? He could not say anything, so this task was his.
Law was a little helpless. "I knew you would throw it to me in the end. Then what are you going to do?"
Xiao Ran said matter-of-factly, "I'm going to get money."
Law took a deep breath. "Then the things that are going to be traded in the end are still made by my technical department!? How much are you going to take!? "
Xiao Ran waved his hand generously. "Don't worry, things have to be done one by one. Anyway, the cooperation between the Shadowblade Legion and the Bertia Legion will not be supported by the technical department. Let's get some merit points back first."
