Chapter 903 The Power of Folding
When the manifold named ‘Laqi’ touched his hand, Li Qi already understood what he wanted to do.
By perceiving the shape and surface texture of his hand, they can read ‘information’. Of course, such information is meaningless because Li Qi’s hand did not convey any message.
Unlike the manifolds who rely on folded surfaces to communicate, Li Qi, as a human, has a three-dimensional structure that is actually useless.
However, it cannot be said that Li Qi’s three-dimensional topological structure, that is, his ‘appearance’, can also convey some information, including ‘expression’, ‘face’, ‘body posture’ and ‘appearance’, which are actually information expressed by the three-dimensional topological structure.
In essence, the three-dimensional topology of a person is equivalent to a donut.
Because the appearance of a person can be folded into the shape of a donut, the human body is mainly connected by two holes, which are topologically homeomorphic to a donut. If you ‘unfold’ yourself from the inside out along the digestive tract of your mouth, you will find that the human body is a donut.
However, by folding the donut's appearance, fingers, faces, muscle lines, etc. can be differentiated.
As mentioned before, "folding" can convey information.
When the donut of the human body is folded into a shape with a specific structure, it will look "handsome" or "beautiful", but if it is not folded well, it will be "ugly" or even "horrible".
This is the information conveyed by the folding of the topological structure.
It can even be said that all aesthetics under the three-dimensional structure are just different topological structures. It is conceivable how much information this folding can convey.
But the human body is just a three-dimensional topology after all, and the information and speed that can be conveyed are limited. It can only be limited to this. "Body language", "model" and "beauty and ugliness" are the highest way of this transmission.
But the manifold family is different.
The manifold family... its essence is a high-dimensional manifold of a super-multidimensional collection. When they are folded, they can even directly "speak" the true meaning of Taoism.
This race can communicate memory and even share perceptions just by touching, so when he touched Li Qi's skin, he had already completely incorporated the topological structure of Li Qi's arm into his mind.
This is actually very scary.
Li Qi's body is not a mortal. His body is essentially the structure of "God of Heaven" and "God of Earth". Even his blood or hair contains a lot of Tao rhyme, and the topological structure is naturally the same.
Compared with his "essence", this information seems insignificant, just Li Qi's scraps.
But for an eighth-grade, this information is enough to make him explode.
The fingerprints of the third-grade are enough to shock the fifth-grade, and it is a rare treasure for the fifth-grade, not to mention the topological structure of the whole hand.
This information was eaten by an eighth-grade.
Almost instantly, Laqi's body swelled up.
He temporarily lost all the ability to fold, and his body became a high-dimensional sphere like a blown-up balloon.
A sphere means that the topological space of the ball is the collection of all points, which is the "possibility" of all topologies.
As a high-dimensional manifold, the Manifold Clan showed this posture, indicating that it has temporarily lost the ability to fold.
Laqi became a "hypersurface", and all the points on his edges were stuck together.
However, he persisted.
Laqi did not destroy himself, but relied on the super information processing ability of the Manifold Clan to fully accept the information expressed by Li Qi's palm!
I don't know how long it took, but Laqi, who had lost consciousness, finally regained his consciousness.
At the moment he recovered, his body felt the information again.
The three-dimensional object he had hugged before had unfolded.
Li Qi's hand also changed into the style of the Manifold Clan.
In Laqi's eyes, he suddenly met a fellow creature in the dark, and was able to perceive and communicate.
Then... what about the "voice" he felt just now? The thing he hugged before obviously couldn't speak his own language, right?
However, the voice said: "This is my "hand", I don't speak through it, but I can actually do this."
Thinking of this, Laqi felt his fellow creature folding on him.
For the human race, this is similar to "seeing someone appear in front of you."
While Laqi was surprised, he was also full of vigilance. He folded his hands and passed on the message: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
Laqi thought he saw a fellow... at least it was an illusion, so he should be able to communicate, right?
However, in fact, this was just Li Qi's hand.
This made Li Qi feel an inexplicable sense of empathy.
When he was very young, those powerful people appeared in front of Li Qi with their Dharma bodies, which was actually the same feeling.
He thought he was face to face with the other party, but in fact, the other side was just a side of the powerful person.
Li Qi also used his Dharma body to talk to mortals, but he didn't feel that way at that time.
Perhaps it was because... this manifold called Laqi completely understood the information emitted by Li Qi's hand.
Although he couldn't decode it and it looked like garbled code, he undoubtedly carried all the Tao rhyme of Li Qi's hand.
It was really surprising. Was the talent of the manifold too strong, or was he just so powerful?
Maybe it's both.
The combination of these two made Li Qi interested in a formal conversation with the other party.
Originally, he just wanted to observe the basic activities of the manifold race. After all, this race is really wonderful. In time, it may become a high-quality race, similar to the meso-micro-birds.
But now, he has some interest in the individual 'Lachi'.
So, he replied: "I am, this shadow itself."
"Will the shadow have a 'human form'?" Laqi asked immediately.
Why does the shadow look like a 'human'? It can even speak human language, almost exactly the same as the manifold race, and there is no difference at all.
"If I want it, it will be." Li Qi replied.
"I see, you are disguised like this, right? Then, what is the matter with this shadow? Why did you come to me?" Laqi asked immediately.
Li Qi could feel that the constantly squirming high-dimensional manifold body that was now held in his palm was very scared, but he still plucked up the courage and pretended to communicate with Li Qi as if nothing had happened.
"? You seem to be wrong. I didn't come to you. You came to me." Li Qi replied.
Laqi thought about it and it seemed to be true.
He took the initiative to join the shadow. From the beginning to the end, the shadow actually had no desire to communicate with the outside world.
"Sorry, I was wrong, so why did you respond to me?" Laqi asked again.
He was full of curiosity at this moment. Laqi really wanted to communicate with the existence in front of him.
What is the shadow? What is the existence in front of him? Why is this a low-energy vacuum, and how does this sound exist in a low-energy vacuum?
"You asked the question, so I responded to you." Li Qi said, "Anything else to ask?"
"How can I understand everything I felt before?" Laqi was blunt. Since he found that the existence in front of him was not hostile and seemed to have the willingness to answer questions, he would go straight ahead and ask one more question.
"This method can interpret everything, but it may take you a lifetime." Li Qi sent a decoding method to Laqi, which can help him interpret the information brought by those structures.
Or it would be more appropriate to use "comprehension".
"After I finish interpreting, can you answer my doubts?" Laqi asked again.
"I don't know, and I don't understand what your doubts are." Li Qi replied.
Then, Li Qi immediately said: "But... do you know what your doubts are?"
This question stumped Laqi.
"I understand, then, I will go back to interpret your message first, and then I will come again." Laqi said so.
He had gained enough, and the information was enough to make Laqi's thinking organ crash. He knew in his heart that he couldn't take more no matter what, and he couldn't even remember more.
"If you can come back in your lifetime." Li Qi said so.
Laqi expressed his respect and joy, and then withdrew from the shadow.
He knew that he had a way to crack the shadow.
As for whether he could interpret it in his lifetime?
It didn't matter, he was confident.
Laqi began his own interpretation outside the shadow, entered the state of "closed death", curled himself into a point, and then continued to interpret in it.
After that, Li Qi continued to observe the social development of the Manifold Clan and his physiological dynamics.
He knew that all this would not last too long, because the place where the Manifold Clan lived was actually just a special time and space extended by the ‘Chenji Jindan Method’ displayed by the Wutu sisters.
Once the Wutu sisters completed their enlightenment and chose to end it, everything would fall, and the ‘universe’ that the Manifold Clan believed in would collapse instantly, and everything would fall into the ‘low-energy vacuum’.
They would be exterminated.
Therefore, this moment was the only window period.
But he did not forget to continue observing Laqi.
This Manifold Clan still left some impressions on him, and he was a little curious about what would happen to Laqi after interpreting those Dao rhymes.
After that, about ‘six hundred generations’ had passed.
The lifespan of the Manifold Clan was rather strange, and could not be calculated in ‘years’, because time was relative, and the time flow rate of each part of their body was not the same, because the dimensions were also different, and their life and death were only related to the ‘limit’.
But it would not be too long, for ordinary Manifold Clan, the limit would come unknowingly.
However, in the case of Laqi, according to Li Qi's sense of time, it is about 45 years.
For the Manifold Clan, this is already a long life.
And the calculation of these 600 generations is also very simple. Laqi did find a human to give birth to a child.
The reproduction of the Manifold Clan is rather strange. They do not reproduce in both sexes, and they do not have the concept of gender at all. The basic structure of all Manifold Clan is the same.
Instead, all the Manifold Clan that can be found are gathered in a high-energy area, and then everyone is integrated into one. After that, all the Manifold Clan will fold a specific frequency together, or it can be called "resonance".
After that, with such vibrations, new Manifold Clan will be born in the high-energy area next to them.
They have no growth period, and they are born as adults. After that, the newcomers will be integrated into the "resonance", and the Manifold Clan's innate super information transmission ability will pass all the knowledge to the newcomers.
Only once, the new manifold will become a full adult, and then start its own story, without the need for upbringing, and without a family.
Since that time, six hundred generations have passed since the child born by Laqi.
But Laqi is still in seclusion.
He is comprehending the information he got from a mysterious being, and he wants to fully understand it, because these things make him feel something more important than "carving his name in history".
He can't describe what that thing is, but just knowing the outline of it is like being fascinated.
Laqi only participated in reproduction once, and after that, he gave up everything except "necessary for survival".
He is wholeheartedly immersed in the information, even though he doesn't even know what it is.
This information is so magnificent.
It seems to be describing the "truth", as if explaining what this world is like.
Although it is so bizarre, those things do not exist in this world, but unexpectedly it makes people feel extremely real.
This world is composed of high-energy areas and low-energy areas, a constantly rotating world.
Energy is the only main theme. Matter does not exist here, or... the 'macro-matter' in the usual sense does not exist here.
The mutual erosion and transformation between high-energy and low-energy areas, and the switching of different dimensions will cause all macro-matter to annihilate, leaving only microscopic particles, such as protons and neutrons, here.
And if it is subdivided, the various 'qi' that make up things will also be scattered, and the basic earth, fire, feng shui cannot be synthesized.
Even molecules cannot be formed, because chemical bonds cannot be formed here.
But it is also true that the essence of particles is qi, and qi is infinitely divisible. It is tormented to death by various dimensions and high-energy level conversions, and of course it is impossible to form stable macro-matter.
However, in the world, it will be more extreme, there are no particles there, and qi will directly form matter.
All this knowledge was interpreted by Laqi 'naturally'.
Although he didn't even know what 'qi' and 'the world' were.
But he understood these, and even the appearance of 'the world' emerged.
It's simply another world.
No...
That's another world.
Wonderful, really wonderful.
How to interpret such beauty?
Words are hard to imitate, and fine words cannot reach their extreme;
The shape and structure are beyond the law, and the magnificent words cannot describe their true nature.
Therefore, the words are as high as the sky.
Laqi originally did not know how to speak like this, but after reading those, he learned it. (End of this chapter)
