Unify the universe?
Shen Heng's eyelids twitched involuntarily. How did things suddenly jump from sound waves to the concept of the universe?
"Your explanation sounds even more mystical than what I said," Li Daoyi frowned as well.
Yan Yu did not refute, but instead said, "Theology and science may indeed be interconnected in some aspects in the future."
"Alright, alright, hurry up and explain your theory clearly!" Li Daoyi interrupted.
Shen Heng also put down his thoughts and turned his gaze back to Yan Yu.
Yan Yu also began to speak.
"In ancient times, it was believed that the foundation of the world was created by a god, or God, and that all matter and energy were bestowed by the god."
"But with the advancements in science over the past few centuries, we now generally believe..."
"The foundation of the world is matter, which consists of countless point-like particles."
These particles make up different kinds of matter, which ultimately constitute the world we live in now.
As Yan Yu spoke, he tapped lightly in the air with his other free hand.
As he moved, a pale blue scene appeared in the void.
The scene initially consisted of tiny dots, which then coalesced to form rudimentary structures. These structures rapidly coalesced, transforming into land, forests, animals, and so on.
Shen Heng glanced sideways at the extremely faint light streaming in from all around, then looked back at the forest scene.
Yan Yu continued:
"This is the current, most accurate, and most rigorous version of the statement."
"But under this framework, matter and force are separated into two modules."
Matter is matter, and force is force.
As Yan Yu spoke, he raised his hand and waved.
The forest scene quickly dispersed, reverting to the initial array of tiny dots.
The tiny dots orbit each other and move around, with one dot occasionally leaving its original position and flying towards another.
Yan Yu's gaze followed the small dot that flew away.
"While this can describe phenomena with extreme precision, as a descriptive framework for fundamental physics, it lacks aesthetic unity."
Therefore, some have suggested that it might be possible to combine force with matter.
Combining force and matter?
Can these two things be combined?
Shen Heng frowned slightly, momentarily unable to comprehend how intangible forces and tangible matter could be combined.
But before he could think further, Yan Yu continued talking.
"... Based on this, the framework of String Theory was proposed."
" String Theory posits that the foundation of the world is composed of individual strings."
These strings vibrate at specific frequencies and in specific ways, manifesting as different forces and substances.
Yan Yu's fingers moved lightly in the air, and the tiny dots in the blue image stretched and extended, transforming into countless tiny, trembling line segments.
These line segments quickly transformed into points of varying sizes, and then rapidly evolved into the scene that Shen Heng and the others had just witnessed.
It condenses into the rudiments of matter, which rapidly integrates, and then forms land, forests, animals...
Shen Heng frowned slightly as he looked at the forest scene that had reappeared before him.
The beginning was alright, but the latter part was a bit harder to understand. But in short, he understood Yan Yu was trying to say.
"So you mean that an additional layer, a string, is added beneath the existing matter, and that the string, through vibration, can transform into different forces and substances, right?"
Yan Yu looked at Shen Heng, and after a moment, suddenly chuckled softly.
That's one way to understand it.
He first affirmed Shen Heng's analogy, but then changed the subject, saying:
"However, to be more precise, it wasn't that a layer was added, but rather that the base layer was changed, and this base layer..."
"No, this kid can even understand this?"... Li Daoyi looked at Shen Heng with slight surprise. He had given up when Yan Yu talked about the combination of matter and force, but he didn't expect Shen Heng to be able to offer his own opinion after listening to the rest of the passage.
Yan Yu continued talking.
"... In short, force and matter are merely different manifestations of strings in String Theory."
Hmm... I don't understand... Shen Heng paused for a moment, then asked:
"What does this have to do with my Configuration?"
"In String Theory, the foundation of the world is vibrating strings, but your Configuration..."
Yan Yu's gaze returned to Shen Heng, his eyes gradually sharpening.
"A constantly changing yet harmoniously unified ring, whose emanating vibrations can naturally attract Origin Power... Don't you think this is very similar to the string I just mentioned?"
"But Professor..." Le Gu Nan interjected, "Isn't this theory still a hypothesis?"
"I wasn't initially very optimistic about this hypothesis, but now..."
Yan Yu paused, his gaze falling on Shen Heng's abdomen, which he was still pressing.
"Perhaps this hypothesis does have some merit, but... why does this Configuration take shape?"
"Is this Configuration difficult to achieve?" Shen Heng asked.
"Yes, theoretically it's possible, but the chances are extremely low," Yan Yu nodded. "It's like you're rowing a small boat on the sea, and then you casually paddle across the surface and happen to catch a fish."
"How long did you hold out?"
"That's just a matter of tapping it a few more times."
After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.
"So, what's the overall Configuration like? Is it good or bad?" Li Daoyi clicked his tongue.
"His Configuration might touch upon the origin of the world, the foundation of all things, but..." Yan Yu pondered for a moment, then said:
"Cannot be directly compared."
"This is like asking whether a single-celled organism or a multicellular organism is more advanced."
"The former contains the most primitive and fundamental blueprint of life, while the latter demonstrates the powerful functions of complex structures."
"The specifics will depend on how things unfold."
"Later, let's test this Configuration to see how efficient it is in utilizing Origin Power in various aspects."
"Why do we have to wait?" Li Daoyi looked at Yan Yu.
Shen Heng and Le Gu Nan looked at Yan Yu with some confusion.
"I'm memorizing the changes in his internal Configuration; it will take another three minutes." Yan Yu expression unchanged, continued to place his hand on Shen Heng's abdomen.
Uh... remember that?... Shen Heng paused for a moment, immersing his consciousness in the inner world.
Thousands of threads, like nebulae, swirl and change around the closed loop...
About twenty minutes later.
Shen Heng lowered his hand from a device that resembled a lectern.
With a heavy "bang," a multi-ton alloy ingot fell in front of them.
This is a device used to detect the efficiency of Origin Power Origin Power utilization.
Simply put, when you input Origin Power on the platform, the machine will automatically stop based on the total amount of Origin Power flowing through, allowing only a fixed amount of Origin Power · Flow.
Then, using these fixed amounts of Origin Power, the alloy ingot in front is propelled.
The higher the push, the higher the efficiency of its Origin Power utilization.
