MTL - Urban Tales of Demons and Spirits-Chapter 261 Dimensional space
Zhu Xuan smiled slightly and looked very mysterious, "Well, anyway, here is temporarily safe, I will tell you about it. ??? Bayi Chinese? Network W? W? W? .㈠8㈠1㈠Z? W. COM "
Su Xiaoying and Shi Yitong looked at each other, and both showed curious expressions. Only I felt a headache.
Seriously, do you monsters have to show off your erudition to show that you are different from us? Explain that knowledge is power?
"About the word" monster ", there is a detailed explanation in the book" A Question and Answer "." Zhu Xuan began to talk bluntly, "'Fake of man is a demon, the spirit of a thing is fine, and the human soul is a ghost. The heavens and the earth are perverse. Suddenly they are very strange, the gods are not righteous, the human heart is obsessed with evil, and the heresy is alien. 'It is very clear here,' monster ',' weird ',' fine ',' ghost ' 'All belong to different species, and the ancients had different definitions of them. But as time progressed, after the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties, people no longer talked about ghosts frequently. Because at that time, people were strange. It is important to say that it is not enough for people's own traffic and dynasties to change. Therefore, the classification of monsters has gradually blurred. From the beginning, the aliens were classified one by one, and then gradually evolved into. Anyone who knows or is frightened will be classified as a 'monster'. "
"If you think about it, is that true?" Zhu Xuan asked us suddenly, "For example, if you see a ghost that has not seen before, what is the first reaction?"
The three of us looked at each other.
"Monster ..." he said hesitantly, "especially after so many things, the first reaction must be this."
"So, when you light up, it's me who's standing in front of you, how will you react?"
Su Xiaozhang somehow looked at me and Shi Yitong, "Then ... Of course I'm relieved. Because it's you."
"At this time, you still think,‘ Ah, it ’s a monster ’?” Zhu Xuan asked again.
Su Xiaozhang said in a fog, "Of course it won't."
"Why is that?" Zhu Xuan asked sharply. "You are very familiar with me and you know that I am actually a monster. But why don't you think so when you see me?"
"Of course that's because--" Shi Yitong was anxious, and just about to intervene, was interrupted by Zhu Xuan's hand.
"That's because you are familiar with me and you trust me, so you will call me the name" Zhuxuan "instead of the vague" Monster "branch, don't you?" Zhuxuan smiled.
Shi Yitong nodded with a half-knowledge.
"You see, the same is true for Nianbei." Zhu Xuan raised his head and looked around this dark and enclosed space. "Because of the unknown, we are afraid, because of fear, we classify it. Humans are accustomed to fear and unknown. Everything is categorized as a monster, but in fact, the word monster contains many kinds of species. For example, Wen Jiubai and I you know are not the same monster. "
This surprised me, "What? Aren't you and Wen Jiubai a monster?"
It was the first time I heard.
"No. I'm fine, nine-tailed fox is a demon. And the little weasel that followed Nine-tailed is a spirit." Zhu Xuan smiled. "If you carefully classify, the monsters you have encountered along the way are all Different. But ... "
Zhu Xuan's words turned sharply and he suddenly said, "There are also monsters like Nian Beast that are different from any other kind of monster."
"Unlike any monster ...?"
"Yeah, I have always felt that, in the strict sense, Nianbei cannot be regarded as a monster at all." Zhu Xuan moved the light of the flashlight around, and the dark wind blade was spinning, forming an airtight wall.
"Not a monster, what's that?" Su Xiaozhen walked over and asked curiously.
"Wen Jiubai once told me that the beast is a creature in four-dimensional space." I hesitated to say, "but I never quite understood what this sentence meant."
"Wen Jiubai is right, but it may be a little difficult for you to understand." Zhu Xuan smiled, crouched down, picked up a small wooden stick from the ground, and stroked it on the ground.
He first drew two points on the ground, then connected the two points into a straight line, and asked, "First, our world is three-dimensional, right? Then if we make an assumption now, in one-dimensional space, There is a creature in it, what do you think it will look like? "
The best student Su Xiaozhen first studied it seriously. She squatted down and looked at the straight line drawn by Zhu Xuan and said, "One dimension is a space of points. If there is a creature in one dimension, it must be just a point. In a one-dimensional space, There is no area or volume, only points. "
"The answer is correct." Zhu Xuan praised, "One-dimensional space is isolated. If there are living things in one-dimensional space, they can only perceive other points existing on this line, but cannot see the line itself. . But let's say-- "
Zhu Xuan picked up the branch in his hand and added a rectangular plane to the line just drawn.
"But what if we make the space two-dimensional?"
"Then you can see not only points, but also straight lines." Su Xiaoying responded quickly and said immediately.
Zhu Xuan nodded, "However, the limitations of two-dimensional creatures are still too great. Because there is no volume yet, even creatures in two-dimensional space cannot see the existence of 'planes'. So How can they be made aware of the existence of planes? "
Even without Zhu Xuan, I know it well. I simply took the branch from his hand and drew a cube along the plane he drew.
"Does this need to be said? Of course it has become a three-dimensional space. Three-dimensional space has both area and volume. Similarly, living creatures in three-dimensional space-that is, we can all see two-dimensional planes. "
Shi Yitong was getting impatient when he heard this. He stood up and said, "That, Zhuxuan. Not what I said, but these are all the knowledge I knew when I was in high school, and even the scum like me knows how to return Things. Why are you taking the time to tell us this? Should n’t it be urgent to find Wen Jiubai and Xu Yingchen and run away? "
"Don't worry, did I just say that? Now we are safe for the time being. And, to solve the problem once and for all, we have to figure out the fundamental problem." Zhu Xuan smiled mysteriously, "And, The question I want to ask next is not so simple. That is-what can I do to see the whole picture of the three-dimensional world? "
