Chapter 476: Chapter 75 An Qing’s Answer Chapter 476: Chapter 75 An Qing’s Answer It’s not that it’s not complex enough; it’s that it’s not simple enough.
Lin Xian remembered...
the same words had once been spoken by the super artificial intelligence VV in the Third Dreamland.
Back then, he couldn’t understand the Mirror Puzzle that Huang Que had left for him, so he consulted VV.
And VV, after a long absence, thought for a long time.
Even the lights of Rhine Sky City dimmed a bit, and intuition made Lin Xian feel that something big was coming, something really big this time!
But in the end...
...
The answer VV finally arrived at was strikingly simple and even too blunt—
“I think...
it means exactly what it says, that you should look in the mirror more.”
At that moment, Lin Xian managed to suppress the urge to demolish the trash can with his hands.
He decided to ignore this artificial dimwit.
But unexpectedly.
Today, these words, taken from a certain famous science fiction novel, were once again spoken to him by Chu Anqing, making Lin Xian feel somewhat bewildered.
He suddenly thought...
What if?
It was not uncommon in this world, or in history, for the smart to be outsmarted by their own intelligence, to overlook things right under their noses.
Moreover,
Chu Anqing wasn’t an untrustworthy stranger.
She not only passed Huang Que’s strict selection;
Under the complete surveillance and control of an enemy and director, what methods do we have to make ourselves realize we’re in a fake world?”
“Of course, we don’t have to prove that these virtual worlds are false; we also could try to prove they’re real.
Either positive or negative proof is okay.
If there was a way to prove the world you’re in is real, that would obviously be more comforting.
Anyway, we must come up with a method that allows us, lost and confused inside, to find an accurate answer—”
“[Is this world real or false, virtual, a fabricated filming studio?]”
...
Lin Xian finished his lengthy exposition.
Chu Anqing’s eyes widened in shock, her brain already starting to smoke:
“You...
The situation you’re describing, I can understand it, after all, there are many movies on the market with similar plots, so I know what you’re hypothetically talking about.
In ‘The Truman Show,’ the protagonist only discovers the falsehood of his world because of the show crew’s mistakes, which led him to spot the flaws and therefore, to doubt.”
“From your description, if we rule out the possibility of mistakes by the director or the enemy, then I really can’t think of a way to solve it.
After all...
Isn’t there a saying, ‘One can’t see the true face of Lushan Mountain because one is in the mountain.’ If you’re always standing within Lushan Mountain, you naturally can never see its entirety.
Just like what you said, being in a fake world...
How can one prove its falseness when in it?”
Lin Xian nodded and continued:
“The director and enemy aren’t infallible, so let’s assume there’s a [safe], which due to their oversight, provides us the only hope.
You can place an object or a small note in it in the known reality; then in that suspected virtual world, you can see this safe, open it with a code, and verify the contents.”
