91: Chapter 91: Any future you can imagine will come true, no matter how outrageous.

Before Xiaoyu could ask her question, countless viewers in the livestream room were already asking.

"Right, even if we are partners, what are we partnering with? Our heads?"

"The Earth guys have the resources ready, but is our primitive technology even worth looking at?"

"Protecting Earth is fierce, sure, but on the night the comet comes, do we all have to shout, 'Become light,' and then get boiled into soup?"

"..."

The viewers' questions were all over the place.

Facing Xiaoyu's question, Jiang Zhe couldn't help but grin.

"This involves another topic: the technological singularity!"

"A singularity?" Xiaoyu scratched her puppy head. "What's that? Is it edible? A new physics concept?"

"Not entirely."

Jiang Zhe glanced at his wristwatch. "It's something your brother figured out and summarized himself."

It was just past eleven, a Friday night.

"Then keep talking!"

Operator Wang at the Dougou Platform unclenched his fist. "We kept them. The fans in the livestream room are all staying, and the gifts and bullet comments are rising crazily!"

"Yes!"

Xiaoyu beamed instantly, releasing her iron grip.

The livestream room was also in high spirits.

"I thought the stream was ending, I didn't expect there to be more good stuff!"

"First the akashic records, zero-point field, then the xia nation consciousness, and now a new singularity. Intense!"

"As expected of our brother!"

"Professors, experts, aren't you going to write papers yet?"

As these bullet comments appeared, a bunch of university professors and mentors with gold medals began to surface.

[Kyoto History Professor Chen Runzhi: Writing it, writing it!]

[Kyoto Ecology Professor Liu Guangyi: +1]

[Magic City...]

[Guangzhou...]

"Damn, there really are a bunch of experts watching?"

"Awesome, as expected of my brother!"

[Kyoto Sinology Teacher Wang Chongyang: Hehe, I'm actually here too. I've been very busy lately and got back late, so I haven't had much time to watch!]

"Holy crap, Big Brother Wang, you're here too?"

"So everyone was lurking. The gold content of this livestream room is rising!"

"..."

It seemed that with the appearance of a new viewpoint, a group of lurking big shots surfaced one after another.

In fact, not only that, but even some minor figures from the think tanks of this world were secretly observing and lurking.

Qingfeng Temple, inside the living room.

Zheng Ming looked at the screen, his face lacking its previous arrogance. It seemed he had been taught a lesson by reality.

"I admit it!" Zheng Ming spoke. "The partner concept he guided Xiaoyu to say earlier, the mutual striving, it was very engaging. It really made me feel stirred!"

The conversation shifted.

"But, what is this so-called singularity?"

"Calling some breakthroughs in science a singularity and putting a mysterious halo on them?"

"Isn't this just being pretentious? Technology naturally accumulates; there are accidents, but where do so many singular places come from?"

Celestial Master Zhang and Xu Mu on the side were looking at Jiang Zhe curiously, their faces also filled with curiosity.

"Singularity, this humble Daoist has indeed heard of it for the first time."

"Let's listen and see!"

On the screen, Xiaoyu saw Jiang Zhe put on his black trench coat.

"Huh, brother?"

"Changing places. It's too stuffy at home."

Jiang Zhe handed the beige ladies' trench coat on the sofa to Xiaoyu. "Let's go out and get some air."

"Wow!"

Xiaoyu looked at Jiang Zhe with some disbelief.

My god, her brother was finally willing to leave the dog kennel... no, home!

A while later, Xiaoyu and Jiang Zhe were holding milk tea in their hands. Xiaoyu had full sugar, Jiang Zhe had no sugar, both were milk-based pearl tea.

In the viewers' field of vision—it was the small park downstairs.

In the distance, the sparkling artificial lake, a full moon hanging high, clear light sprinkled on the lake surface and the wheat fields swaying in the evening breeze. The old residential area had this one advantage: quiet, tranquil.

At this moment, the viewers were no longer calm.

"He really went out?"

"Tears, family, our brother is willing to go out!"

"The last time he went out was the glorious moment of breaking the record at the sports academy. Later, the national team came to look for him, but he was suppressed."

"..."

On the screen, a cold wind blew, and the stuffiness of the room and the dryness of the face disappeared completely.

Xiaoyu also completely calmed down.

"Brother."

She struck while the iron was hot, trying to bring the topic to the forefront.

"What exactly is a singularity, and why would humanity needing to protect Earth have anything to do with this?"

Jiang Zhe spoke slowly. "A singularity is a [point] in a certain field that exists but cannot be fully explained, or even understood, by existing theories in that field."

He gave examples without hesitation.

"For example, the singularity of the Big Bang, where density and temperature are infinitely high and volume is infinitely small—physical rules fail there, that is the singularity of cosmology."

"Another example is the center of a black hole, where volume is infinitely small and mass is infinitely large, also called a gravitational singularity."

"And then there's infinity in mathematics. It's an abstract concept, but is there a difference in size between infinities? It's hard to intuitively understand, so that is a mathematical singularity."

Jiang Zhe looked at Xiaoyu. "In biology, the birth of every brand-new species is also a biological evolutionary singularity."

"Because before that species is born, Xiaoyu, you cannot predict that it will appear."

"For example, if I say today that a thousand years from now, humans will evolve into robots."

"This is not a singularity; it can be guessed."

"The steps for humans to move towards immortality, replacing all unnecessary parts in the body, and finally retaining only the head."

Hearing this, Xiaoyu suddenly realized. "So that's it!"

"And what brother wants to talk about is a technological singularity."

Jiang Zhe looked at the night scene ahead. "It refers to those fundamental breakthroughs in the history of human technological development that were difficult for people of that era to understand and predict before they happened!"

Xiaoyu's beautiful eyes flickered, trying to understand.

"Then mobile phones getting smaller and smaller, is that a singularity?"

"No."

Jiang Zhe shook his head gently.

"This does not belong to a singularity. Before mobile phones, computers had already appeared."

"People at that time could have predicted that computers would become smaller and smaller and even applied to telephones."

"But!" Jiang Zhe changed the subject. "When the computer itself was invented, it was a singularity!"

"Before the computer was made, even the world's top scientists could not imagine a device appearing in the future that would bring earth-shaking changes to the world."

"Wait!"

Xiaoyu suddenly thought of something. "What about ancient times?"

"I remember Teacher Wang mentioning the [Antikythera mechanism] to us. The teacher said it was an [Ancient Greece computer], used for astronomical calculations, simulating the movement of celestial bodies in the Solar System, because there was no air pollution in ancient times, and ordinary people could see many planets with the naked eye, like Mars."

Jiang Zhe shook his head. "You might as well say Zhang Heng's armillary sphere. That is not a computer in essence, just a simple meteorological instrument!"

"Oh~~"

Soon, the viewers in the livestream room suddenly realized.

"I understand now, it's just things that no one could imagine before they appeared!"

"And airplanes, right? Before the Wright brothers, although humans fantasized about flying, it was all wings. Who knew that a hunk of iron could actually fly?"

"Then what about future interstellar travel, does that count?"

"It doesn't count. Anything we can imagine is not a singularity!"

"Anything inferred from existing theories doesn't count as a singularity?"

"To the person above, yes. Anything that can be imagined does not count; just like in the future, we upload our consciousness to the cloud, this can be imagined, so it doesn't count."

"..."

You have to know, these concepts of Jiang Zhe were all from his previous life. People in this barren parallel world heard them for the first time and felt they were very novel!

Jiang Zhe looked at Xiaoyu seriously.

"Therefore, every future you can imagine will come to pass, no matter how absurd your ideas are, Xiaoyu."

"But anything that cannot be imagined or breaks through human cognition, breaks through the cognition of all humans globally, that is the true singularity!"

"Next, brother will sort out for you the singularities in Earth's history and the super singularities that will appear soon in the future!"
