"Where does the energy of virtual particles come from when they evolve into real particles? Can we create something out of nothing at this stage?" Bai Ge asked.
Ling Dang said, "No, quantum fluctuations borrow energy from the vacuum. As long as it's still a virtual particle, it will return in an instant. When it evolves into a real particle and stabilizes, it also borrows energy from the material world. This means that when such an iron sword emerges, the same amount of matter in the universe will return to the vacuum, or rather, return to a lower energy level of space-time. "
"This is a more advanced method than using basic force … Directly using the law of conservation of mass and energy is, of course, impossible to break the conservation of mass and energy."
"Although I'm just guessing and don't know how to do it specifically, I can deduce the basic principle. In the closed system of the universe, if the matter of an iron sword returns to the vacuum, then to ensure the conservation of mass and energy, the vacuum will return the matter of the iron sword."
"Using this principle to make the matter returned by the vacuum happen to be an iron sword is an engineering problem. It's probably controlling the parameters of the virtual particles in an area and making them jump in the desired way."
Bai Ge instantly understood. This principle was actually very simple.
The vacuum was actually a kind of energy level, the basic state of space-time. When some matter was returned to the vacuum, the universe would automatically advance the virtual particles in an area to real particles, instantly returning something with the same mass and energy.
Of course, this kind of thing was definitely done by the universe itself, just like a random seesaw.
If this place was pressed, who knew where it would bounce?
However, science was about using this law. Anyway, it could bounce anywhere, so why not bounce according to my wishes? And bounce to the place I specified?
For a level-three civilization, making the universe return what they wanted was called the application of technology. This was called advanced technology.
This technology had to reach the point of returning a pile of trash to the vacuum and letting the universe return something valuable, indirectly turning the universe into a factory and a labor force.
For example, if one casually grabbed a handful of soil from Earth and gave it to the universe, the universe would return a gun.
As long as mass and energy were conserved, the universe would not feel that it was a loss, but the civilization would gain.
Gaining something without risking anything would achieve a rapid increase in productivity.
This had always been the case for technological civilizations.
"But what does this have to do with dimensions?" Bai Ge asked.
"I don't know, it's too far away … The reason I said that dimensions are a tool is just my guess. This was because the interference quantum fluctuations needed to cross the Planck length in the microscopic world. Whether it was classical physics or the physics of the Empire, it was meaningless at that scale. Because at that level, basic power was useless. That place is the quantum limit. I don't know what can dominate that place, so I guess that it requires the help of dimensional power. At least in terms of observation, it is impossible to achieve in the same dimension, "Ling Dang said.
Bai Ge nodded. On the Planck scale, the electromagnetic force was ineffective, which meant that it could not be observed. Magnifying it countless times with a microscope was useless.
Gravity is not working, which means that it cannot be measured. Strong or weak GN Force was useless. After all, GN Force was the source of the four fundamental forces.
Compared to the quantum limit, the four fundamental forces were too macroscopic.
It was no wonder that the Empire felt that it was the end of the line when they had grasped all of their power. In fact, this was only the end point of old physics. It was unimaginable what to do after that.
Ling Dang felt that he needed the help of the dimension, but that was just his imagination.
"Playing the equivalent exchange with the universe should only be the initial stage of the third generation of science. The advanced version should be the application of the law of causality. In fact, the equivalent exchange production method is also the application of the law of causality, but this is only the application of material energy. There should be a more advanced stage, such as the universe event generator, "Ling Dang said.
Bai Ge said, "I understand, it's probably to make the events that can happen happen. The problem of probability is solved by technology."
Ling Dang said, "That's right, like the random seesaw of vacuum return, since it can return to anywhere, why not return according to my wishes? It's the same for universe events. Since they will happen sooner or later, why not set the time, place, and other parameters according to the needs of the civilization? The development of science is constantly changing what is natural into what is man-made. "
Bai Ge could immediately imagine how powerful such a civilization would be.
A civilization that could control the occurrence of universe events meant that it could simulate the initial parameters of the universe and create a new universe, a small universe where the total amount of matter came from the existing universe.
It was not a parallel universe. After all, parallel universes were made by phone booths. If the entire universe was regarded as a Greater One Universe, such a man-made small universe would only exist within the greater universe.
In a sense, a small universe was a house. The Earth civilization built it with earth and stone, the advanced civilizations hollowed out the stars, and the god-level civilizations created a universe.
Ling Dang said, "This is the second stage of the third level of science. For them, the Big Rip and the Supernova Explosion are all resources. They can be quelled directly, and it's not quelled by paying a price, but by transforming it into something else, or as a 'cause' to trigger the 'effect' they want … In short, all the means of attack of a civilization like the Orion Empire is no different from giving money to a god-level civilization. "
Bai Ge said solemnly, "Will there be a third stage?"
"Of course, the third stage of the third level of science is the application of mathematical laws. The first thing that such a civilization can do is undoubtedly the ability to change the entire coordinate system. Not only the coordinate system of our dimension, but also all the coordinate systems of the entire dimension, "Ling Dang said.
Bai Ge said, "Wander freely at any point in the entire dimension of the universe?"
"Yes, not only that, but all the variables in the universe can be changed. For example, density, length, temperature … speed. Regarding speed, the limit is the speed of light, because the maximum speed of movement is a defined value. It's a constant and not a variable, so it should not exceed the speed of light. However, the first three dimensions are the three physical dimensions. The upper limit should be different in different dimensions. Maybe the speed of light will be different too … There must be more variables, but it's already hard for me to imagine … "Ling Dang said.
Bai Ge said, "Just controlling these three variables is already very scary … Is there a price?"
"I don't know … But technological civilizations always like to let nature bear the price. Once they have mature technology, they don't have to care about the price. For example, to maintain the ultra-high temperature of an area during the Big Bang, this is directly adjusting the temperature parameter. So to maintain such a high energy level, other parameters in other parts of the universe have to decrease … "Ling Dang guessed.
Bai Ge frowned and said, "Being able to adjust the variables means that the civilization can make the universe collapse, change it back to its original state, and restore the factory settings … Is there a price to pay for such changes?"
Ling Dang said, "I don't know. Although it's possible that our current universe has been greatly changed … But don't worry, the universe will always have a way to face reality."
Bai Ge laughed and said, "If there is really such a civilization, then the universe is really miserable. No wonder the speed of light is a defined value. Tsk tsk, the maximum speed is a constant. It's simply too smart. "
The maximum speed was a constant, which meant that there was an upper limit to the speed of movement of matter.
If there was an upper limit to the speed of movement, then there would be an upper limit to the amount of heat and energy. The maximum energy level should be the energy level of the moment when the real Taiyi Universe was born.
This caused the total mass and energy of the universe to not have an infinite value. No matter how big it was, it was limited.
Then, the third stage of the third level of technology, the technology of tampering with the universe's variables, also had a floating upper limit.
"So in the end, the third stage of the third generation of technology actually doesn't have infinite energy …" Bai Ge was a little disappointed.
Ling Dang said, "The universe itself is a finite body. I can't imagine how it can give birth to a technological civilization that exceeds its own. Infinite energy, perhaps it can only be achieved by breaking away from the use of dimensional changes and surpassing the third level. It can only be achieved by the fourth level with more advanced means. "
"But you don't have to think about this, Master. Because if the universe can give birth to an existence that exceeds its scope of ability, then you are undoubtedly the greatest beyond its scope. "
"Even if there is a fourth level civilization, you are more of a threat than a fourth level civilization. Because a fourth level civilization is born by the universe, there is naturally a reason why it can exist. The universe can withstand it. "
"Even if a fourth level civilization can play with the laws of the universe and tamper with the constants. That is still far from information. The universe can definitely use the laws to deal with it. In comparison, you, who can set the settings, are the most helpless existence in the universe. "
Bai Ge was speechless. Ling Dang said it gently, but there was only one meaning that he wanted to express.
If the universe felt that a super technological civilization was a pest, then all the civilizations in the universe combined would not be as evil as Bai Ge.
"I don't need to worry about the universe. I just want to know how far I can go to have infinite energy," Bai Ge said.
"I previously estimated that at least half of the total energy of the universe's matter is needed. This was calculated through cosmic psychology. The energy cost of the hole in your brain is not equivalent to what you do. It is more like a kind of concession punishment, or rather, you are giving the universe a way out. There is no doubt that a setting like True Infinite Energy has too many consequences. It is even directly related to whether you can set it without limits. Under such circumstances, the universe can only give in in one way, "Ling Dang said.
Bai Ge said, "I understand. I have to have at least half of the universe's shares, right?"
"Yes, a very appropriate analogy … So the more dimensions there are in the universe, the more troublesome it is," Ling Dang said.
