AWB Chapter 869: Breaking through the 9th Heaven Linglong Tower (5)
Chapter 869: Breaking through the 9th Heaven Linglong Tower (5)
Surprises always come unexpectedly.
It was not until the white jade steps of the ninth level slowly appeared ahead that Su Xiaoya confirmed that she had actually passed the level.
It turns out that every mysterious passage found in the maze is a space node. The requirement for passing the level is to accurately find all the space nodes.
Su Xiaoya doesn’t know yet how much help it will be for her to walk in the void in the future by being able to easily find space nodes.
These space nodes, in other words, are natural space wormhole vertices.
Click to form a line!
A straight line extends infinitely in both directions.
In other words, the space teleportation array can be understood as using wormholes to jump through space and reach point B directly from point A.
It's that simple.
Su Xiaoya was so proud that she did a signature move. She stretched out her right hand to stroke her hair, then raised her head and proudly stepped onto the white jade steps.
puff!
Shen Shen couldn't help but burst out laughing. He didn't even know that Sister Xiaoya was so funny.
Xiao Jiu was watching from the dark with a smile in her eyes. When she woke up again, everything was different. But, could she be her?
Well!
It was embarrassing now.
Su Xiaoya couldn't help but pinch her nose lightly. Forget it, I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed!
Su Xiaoya was a little excited. She wondered what the last level of the Jiuxiao Linglong Tower would be.
Su Xiaoya stepped onto the last step of the white jade stairs, and the four big words "Source of Rules" of the ninth level were hanging in the air.
Well!
Is this the benefit of the last level?
Pretty good too.
Su Xiaoya looked into the distance and saw that there seemed to be an endless void in front of her, boundless, without top or bottom, silent and empty to the point of making her heart palpitate.
Not far away, a round stone platform lies quietly in the void like a sleeping beast.
Su Xiaoya felt it quietly. Quiet! Absolutely quiet!
Su Xiaoya couldn't help but sigh. But even this sigh was silenced. In such a dead silence, anyone would go crazy!
call!
Is it because she found the previous levels too easy, so she came up with the SSSSS-level hell level?
That’s it, let’s make peace with it now that it’s here.
No matter what lies ahead, I will never give up and I must give it a try.
Su Xiaoya looked at the nothingness under her feet and without much hesitation, she walked straight towards the stone platform.
Sure enough, she did not fall, but walked step by step as if she was on flat ground.
But there were no footsteps.
To be precise, there was not a single sound from beginning to end. This environment was really going to drive people crazy.
Su Xiaoya tried hard to calm her inner turmoil and walked towards the stone platform firmly.
It was a pity that the stone platform was clearly in front of her, but she could not reach it. It was as if Su Xiaoya had been standing still.
No progress?
Su Xiaoya looked around. It was still empty, still void of anything, and still no reference points.
Su Xiaoya closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then opened her eyes and immediately squinted slightly to look at the stone platform.
Three-dimensional space?
Or? Four-dimensional space?
It should be four-dimensional space!
Su Xiaoya looked at the nothingness where she was, and then looked at the stone platform that was right in front of her but she could not get close to it no matter what. There was no other answer except that she was in four-dimensional space.
Su Xiaoya has only just begun to comprehend the rules of space, so she prefers to use the knowledge she learned on Blue Star to analyze.
Su Xiaoya clearly remembers the description of four-dimensional space that she saw at that time: outside the three-dimensional space, there is a fourth dimension that is perpendicular to the length, width, and height of the three-dimensional space, usually represented by "w".
At that time, Su Xiaoya thought about it for a long time, drew for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. There was nothing she could do, because she was a liberal arts student.
So, she looked for information, watched videos, and finally had a little impression of it. Not much, but just enough for now.
For example, the concepts of "cube" in three-dimensional space and "hypercube" in four-dimensional space.
The "cube" in three-dimensional space is composed of 6 square faces, each of which is perpendicular to each other, with 8 vertices and 12 edges.
The "hypercube" in four-dimensional space is also the most basic regular polyhedron in four-dimensional space and can be seen as the "four-dimensional extension of the cube."
“超立方体”有8个三维立方体“面”、24个正方形面、32条棱、16个顶点。每个顶点连接4条棱（分别沿四维空间的x、y、z、w轴方向），这点与三维立方体每个顶点连接3条棱（x、y、z轴）形成对应。
In fact, unlike three-dimensional space, no one can describe four-dimensional space at all, and we can only use the "projection method".
Anyway, before Su Xiaoya traveled through time, no one on Blue Star could describe it. The most popular patterns on the Internet are three-dimensional projections and dynamic projections.
Su Xiaoya feels that dynamic projection images can better help her understand four-dimensional space and time.
Yes, the accurate description of "four-dimensional space" should be "four-dimensional space-time".
The trajectory of the dynamic projection graph is that when the hypercube "rotates", the hypercube changes its angle in four-dimensional space, and its three-dimensional projection will show complex deformation.
Su Xiaoya is not on Blue Star now, but on Qingyuan Star, in a world of immortal cultivation. Therefore, Su Xiaoya directly used the power of chaos to condense an ice cube.
After thinking about it, he condensed another fireball.
Looking at the nothingness around her, Su Xiaoya directly built a house around herself, hung the fireball on the roof, and then began to slowly rotate the ice cube.
As the ice cube rotated, the projected cubes kept changing in size, and even the diagonal lines connecting the vertices rotated accordingly. Su Xiaoya directly manifested each shadow.
Just as a three-dimensional cube rotates on a two-dimensional plane, the projected square constantly changes into a rhombus or a hexagon...
After observing for a while, Su Xiaoya froze the "hypercube" that had just appeared, and condensed a three-dimensional cube next to it.
This time, Su Xiaoya did not choose to continue rotating, but moved in a straight line.
Sure enough, when the three-dimensional cube is translated along the fourth dimension, that is, the time axis (w axis), the trajectory forms a four-dimensional hypercube (16 vertices and 32 edges).
Su Xiaoya looked at them, which had different appearances but all represented four-dimensional space, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After all, normally human senses, at least on the vast land of Blue Planet, cannot directly reach this dimension.
However, in this level, it is obvious that Su Xiaoya must sense and control this dimension in order to pass it.
The projection of a four-dimensional object, such as a hypercube, into three-dimensional space is like a gorgeous magic show, showing dynamic changes.
This projection is similar to the projection of a cube on a two-dimensional plane. It changes unpredictably and dazzlingly as the angle changes.
Therefore, the stone platform she saw in front of her was not actually in the same three-dimensional space as her, but two independent three-dimensional spaces in the four-dimensional space, like two distant stars.
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. This is a truth that even little kids on the blue planet are familiar with.
But now, the two points are not only separated by spatial distance, but also by the fourth dimension, that is, by time distance.
Su Xiaoya, who has already mastered some of the rules of the Avenue of Time and the Avenue of Space, knows very well that now it is like looking for an exit in an intricate maze, and there may be a situation of "crossing" three-dimensional space obstacles.
The reason why she couldn't reach the stone platform was because there might be countless transparent and empty three-dimensional spaces in between, which made it impossible for her to "pass through" the numerous obstacles in these three-dimensional spaces.
Time, as the fourth dimension, is closely connected with space. In four-dimensional space, the movement of objects is like a dance in time and space, involving changes in both space and time.
Therefore, if Su Xiaoya wants to get closer to the stone platform, the difficulty she faces is not only crossing the distance in space, but also crossing the long river of time.
This is like swimming upstream in a turbulent river, which requires tremendous effort and courage.
call!
When Su Xiaoya realized this, she couldn't help but sigh: "It is true that 'Books contain golden houses and beautiful women'!"
Now, the question that Su Xiaoya needs to think about is how to make the two endpoints, herself (end point A) and the stone platform (end point B) in the four-dimensional space, fold and overlap like origami.
As long as she finds the pattern of folding and overlapping, she will be able to find a wormhole between herself and the stone platform that she can pass through smoothly.
After all, theoretically, it is possible for objects to reach the other side directly through the fourth dimension without having to "go around" the three-dimensional obstacle.
This is like two points on a two-dimensional plane, which can "travel" through a wormhole with the help of the third dimension, thereby achieving instant movement.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoya slowly sorted out her thoughts. After all, she had already glimpsed a little bit of the rules of the avenue of time and the avenue of space, and now she had a specific direction...
Su Xiaoya smiled, her eyes sparkling, and her understanding of the rules of the avenue of time and the avenue of space became deeper. Now if she was thrown into the void, she would definitely be able to travel freely.
Su Xiaoya looked at the stone platform in front of her, her eyes were full of determination. With a curl of her lips, she stepped forward. If you look closely, every step of Su Xiaoya is full of Taoism. After two steps, Su Xiaoya was already standing next to the stone platform.
There was actually a chessboard on the stone platform.
棋盘之上19条横线和19条纵线相互交叉。形成的交叉点数量有19x19=361个，不用多说这些交叉点是落子的位置。
On the chessboard, the black and white chess pieces are like two opposing armies, facing each other and ready to go.
These black and white chess pieces are like deep eyes, full of mystery.
Around the chessboard, ten rules are like shining stars, engraved on the stone platform with glowing runes, as if telling endless mysteries.
It goes without saying that these rules will change randomly with the actions of the challengers, just like the unpredictable weather.
So, is the goal to win this Go endgame, or to master these ten rule runes?
"Ah! I'm a liberal arts student! A liberal arts student! A liberal arts student!" Su Xiaoya couldn't help but pull her hair and scream. Especially the "ah" was so gentle that it could scare a bird to fall from a tree.
Su Xiaoya felt that she would go crazy sooner or later!
She is really not good at Go, which requires high-speed brainstorming!
No one knew whether Su Xiaoya was crazy or not, but Xiaojiu was almost scared to death. Su Xiaoya's howling could have sent people away.
This was the first time Xiaojiu knew that the master of his contract was terrifying!
After venting, you still need to continue to challenge the levels.
Thinking of those chess games in novels and TV shows, the challengers are engaged in thrilling games with those mysterious "incarnations". Every move is like walking on thin ice. If you are not careful, you will suffer all kinds of harsh punishments, such as burning in flames or freezing cold...
Su Xiaoya couldn't help but shiver. She only knew how to play Gobang, and she lost more than she won.
Hey!
This is really a case of forcing someone to do something they are not prepared for.
Su Xiaoya waited for a long time, but nothing happened. There was no opponent like the old man with white beard, nor any opponent like the phantom giant hand...
You can't let her play chess with her left and right hands, right? She is not Zheng Xia, the "Yifu Lay Buddhist".
According to Lu You's Weinan Collection, Zheng Xia of the Northern Song Dynasty was addicted to chess and often forced guests to play chess. If the guest refused, he would let the guest watch while he played with his left and right hands.
Zheng Xia held the white chess piece on his left hand and the black chess piece on his right hand, thinking as if he were facing a real enemy. If the white chess piece won, he would pour wine with his left hand and drink with his right hand, and vice versa if the black chess piece won.
Zheng Xia has been playing chess with both hands for more than 20 years.
Hey!
Just play chess.
Without an opponent, she could just play against herself. She didn't recognize the endgame on the chessboard anyway. It was too late to memorize chess manuals now, so she just had to try her luck!
However, we have to explain the rules of the game. If you break the rules, the punishment you will receive won't be fatal, right?
……
Woohoo!
Su Xiaoya looked at the black and white chess pieces in the chess box, and then at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard. She felt a headache! She felt dizzy! Her head was exploding!
call!
This chessboard and these chess pieces, no matter how you look at them, have no connection with the rules of the avenue of time or the avenue of space? Su Xiaoya's eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot, she really couldn't understand it!
But these squares...
Su Xiaoya blinked her eyes, and an idea flashed in her mind: this chessboard is a two-dimensional space!
That's it!
The black and white chess pieces are just a sleight of hand, meant to disrupt the thinking of the challengers.
Ok.
Case solved.
Su Xiaoya came back to life all of a sudden.
As long as she is not forced to play chess, it will be fine. Those who can think seven steps ahead are gods, but she should be thankful that she can think one step ahead.
Now that she knows it's not a game of chess, hasn't that saved her life?
Hahaha!
I really want to laugh out loud three times.
Since we are not playing chess, we have to think about this two-dimensional space.
On the chessboard, if we simply calculate by "grids" (that is, the square areas surrounded by lines), the number of grids on a 19-way chessboard is 18x18=324.
In other words, there are 324 two-dimensional spaces in front of us. What does this have to do with passing the level?
The black and white chess pieces on the chessboard all fall on the nodes where two-dimensional space intersects. Does that mean that these chess pieces can be moved from their current positions to any position on the chessboard?
The reason why the ten rules runes engraved on the stone table surround the chessboard instead of being engraved on the chessboard does not mean that there are no ten rules in two-dimensional space? Do the ten rules exist in three-dimensional space and four-dimensional space?
Well!
How did this empty space begin to collapse?
Su Xiaoya was completely confused.
She didn't do anything, so why did the void space collapse? Could it be that the time to pass the level was up and she hadn't passed the test, so she was humanely destroyed?
She really doesn't want to!
Woohoo!
