Chapter 159 Sophon: This is the real technological blockade!

Chapter 159: sophon: This is the True Technological Blockade!

"Suicide?"

"Yeah, suicide—and it's a whole string of people committing suicide."

As the topic delved deeper,

Fang Wen suddenly realized a very important point: these suicide cases were likely related to the Three-Body organization he was investigating!

After all,

scholars choosing to end their lives one after another was abnormal no matter how you looked at it!

Thinking of this,

Fang Wen hurriedly asked the man beside him, "Can you tell me the details of these suicide cases?"

"Heh, I thought you weren't interested in this stuff." The middle-aged man chuckled, then took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. "Detailed records of the suicides are in this file. Take your time reading it."

Taking the file, Fang Wen began to examine the information with great seriousness.

He began to explore

the mystery of why these scholars chose to end their lives.

[Physics no longer exists? What does that mean?]

[Could it be that the topics these scholars were researching were so profound that they couldn't decipher them from beginning to end, which is why they said physics doesn't exist?]

[No, academia is very rigorous. Unless this viewpoint was proven, no one would dare to joke about physics not existing.]

[Is there a possibility that the things these scholars were researching encountered some kind of blockade?]

[This blockade restricted their so-called physics, which is why they committed suicide in the name of 'physics no longer exists'?]

[For scholars who have devoted their entire lives to academic research, the collapse of their field could indeed easily lead to suicidal thoughts.]

[After all, who could accept that the things they spent a lifetime researching simply don't exist, right?]

...

It wasn't just the players watching the livestream.

In the Three-Body World,

those illustrious Designers also discovered this unique point.

Physics no longer exists.

Through this, could they extend the theory to the 'Three-Body' problem and push forward the plot development of the three-body instance?

With such doubts,

the Strategists who had entered the Three-Body World quickly took action.

Soon,

the questions the Strategists were pursuing began to show results.

—The Science Frontier.

This unique organization was the new direction the Strategists had found during their days in the Three-Body World.

Of course,

before joining the Science Frontier to push the 'Three-Body' plot forward,

the most prominent Designer of the Shenhe Civilization, that figure standing at the pinnacle of the world, found another clue.

He and Wang Miao visited Ding Yi that night.

It was also this visit that allowed him to gain excellent intelligence.

"In these several experiments,"

"the position of the billiard table was constantly changing, but the position of the billiard balls relative to the table remained the same. At the same time, the mass and velocity vectors of the billiard balls did not change."

"Therefore, the momentum exchange did not change, so the black ball was knocked into the pocket every single time."

"What does this show?"

"It shows that the laws of physics are uniform in time and space!"

"To put it simply, no matter how the spatial position of the billiard table or the timing of the shot was changed in these experiments, the momentum exchange between the white ball and the black ball would not change!"

"This is the common momentum exchange formula in physics!"

"Does this mean something?" Both of them knew this point, but they didn't understand why Ding Yi was emphasizing it as an example.

Ding Yi continued,

"Next, let's shift our thinking and imagine a different result."

"The first time: the white ball knocks the black ball into the pocket!"

"The second time: the black ball grazes the edge and passes by."

"The third time: the black ball flies up to the ceiling!"

"The fourth time: the black ball flies all over the room!"

"The fifth time: the black ball flies into space at near-light speed!"

At this moment,

Divine River and Wang Miao fell silent simultaneously.

To Wang Miao, this was something that could not happen in real life because it violated common physical laws.

But to Divine River, this was something that was very likely to happen!

As long as the civilization level the white ball belonged to was higher than that of the black ball, then the moment it struck the black ball, it could make it perform a series of actions that violated the black ball's common sense!

Just like what Ding Yi said—

flying into space!

Vaguely, Divine River seemed to have guessed something.

Right then,

Ding Yi continued: "Particle accelerators around the world have conducted experiment after experiment, repeating the same experiment under exactly the same conditions, but the results obtained are completely different!"

"You two should be clear about what this means."

Divine River withdrew his gaze and spoke softly, "It means that the laws of physics are no longer uniform in time and space. Physics... no longer exists."

...

[System Notification: Congratulations to the player for deciphering one of the reasons why 'Physics No Longer Exists.' Successfully pushed the Three-Body World plot development forward. Strategy Points +200!]

It was after Divine River learned the reason why the scholars were committing suicide one by one

that the long-awaited system notification bullet chat appeared.

Its arrival meant that the direction Divine River was exploring was correct!

As long as he continued exploring along this path, he would be able to uncover all the reasons why 'Physics No Longer Exists' and know exactly what he had to deal with in the Three-Body World.

[Holy crap! So that's what 'Physics No Longer Exists' means!]

[It looks like the characters the Strategists have to deal with this time are not simple. Changing the physical laws of a planet by one's own power is not something an ordinary civilization can do.]

[That Designer from the Shenhe Civilization should have seen it too. What will he do next?]

[He'll probably accelerate the plot development of the Three-Body World.]

[Only by pushing the plot onto the right track can he meet the BOSS he needs to deal with in the dungeon. Right now, the enemy is in the dark while we're in the light—it's hard to handle.]

[I feel like this character Wang Miao is very important.]

[That's for sure. Didn't you see that while other Strategists are researching their own projects, this one from the Shenhe Civilization chose to get close to Wang Miao?]

[If Wang Miao weren't important, he definitely wouldn't be doing this.]

[I'm a bit curious how he knows Wang Miao plays such a big role in the plot. You have to know that no one has ever explored the three-body instance before.]

[So stupid. He's the number one Designer in the Palace. Is it too much for him to have some small items that grant foresight?]

[Not too much, not too much at all.]

...

As the players expected,

after learning the fundamental reason why physics no longer existed through his conversation with Ding Yi,

Divine River vaguely revealed some information to Professor Wang Miao beside him, such as the plunder and invasion between civilizations!

"Professor, do you know?"

"If a planet with a civilization level higher than this one is preparing to launch an invasion, the first thing it does is lock down the target planet's technology!"

"Because only by doing so can it ensure that no unforeseen changes will arise before it arrives at this planet."

These words took deep root in Wang Miao's heart.
