Chapter 1262 Novikov’s self-consistency principle (second update)

Former Soviet physicist Igor Dmitrievich Novikov proposed the Time Paradox Principle in the 1980s, a principle designed to resolve paradoxes related to time travel. In 1975, Zeldovich Yakov Borisovich, a Soviet physicist and physical chemist and an academician of the Soviet Academy of Sciences and a doctor of physical and mathematical sciences, met with the former Soviet theoretical astrophysicist and cosmologist Igor Dmitrievich Novikov, who first mentioned this idea in scientific literature, believed that the existence of a closed quasi-timeline does not necessarily violate the principle of causality, such that events on a line can be in a closed quasi-timeline Mutual influence in the cycle is "self-consistent".

This rule is also known as Novikov's self-consistency principle.

Although more and more evidence later showed that Novikov's self-consistency principle is not necessarily correct, neither parallel world theory nor multiverse theory can bring about time travel in Novikov's self-consistency principle. interference elimination. In other words, the world we live in is already a world modified by time travel. Even if a time traveler from the future or another timeline has not yet jumped and participated in past events, the thing that changed the status quo has already happened. .

"What do you know?" While others were immersed in the joy, excitement and worry of finding the emperor, this was the first question the Supreme Mage spoke. This question was not heard by the medical team, the Praetorian Guards, and the androids surrounding the Emperor, but was communicated through spiritual power. In response, the emperor's spiritual power painted a picture of a very ancient city-state. Outside the exquisite mosaic city walls, the lush vegetation and farmland were submerged by turbid floods that reached to the horizon. The Supreme Mage stood immersively on the ancient brick and stone city wall, with the towering Water Garden behind him. Thousands of gardeners and slaves were walking in the shade of the trees. A large number of mortal soldiers in armor were holding spears on the broad main road below. Assemble on top.

The Supreme Mage looked into the distance. The turbid floods shone under the scorching sun, and the water surface was scalding hot. The smell of earth mixed with the stench from the bloated corpses floating under the city wall, making it intolerable on a windless day. He kept retching. On the horizon, a huge shapeless thing rose from the water and then stopped there. His Holiness knew that this perspective really existed in time and space, and the owner of this perspective was a soldier standing on the city wall. His Holiness could even understand the soldier’s fear of unknown monsters, worry for his family, and concern for his family. Trust in the gods.

"Uruk?"

"It could also be Babylon or Nippur, which says this is the third time."

The Emperor closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment of peace brought by the analgesic. The automatic surgical robot is suturing the muscles, internal organs and blood vessels on his waist that were cut by Feather, peeling off the charred flesh on his chest, and separating the tiny bone fragments on his thigh bones. The emperor's body is healing itself without too much intervention. The job of the automatic surgical robot is to adjust the position of certain tiny blood vessels and bone fragments to prevent the emperor's overly strong self-healing ability from causing tissue proliferation that affects health and movement. However, the operation site was not as orderly as many people imagined. The burning smell produced by the high-frequency electric knife burning the wound and sealing the blood vessels was nauseating. Mars technicians and medical staff brought in an industrial laser cutter to cut out the emperor's body. Hard feathers removed.

"Tiamat, Quetzalcoatl, they all come from the same place."

"I know, but I don't know that you will fight them so many times in the future. None of the historical records of Kama Taj have recorded the details. Now it seems that you are in big trouble. I can only rely on your memory to act. To achieve a closed loop of time and space.”

"The bigger trouble is that I know who Marduk is. It is not the real No. 1 Demon God Pillar, it is just a temporary replacement for that person. The initiator of all this is myself." The emperor nodded and took the hand from Constant Ding handed him a wipe to wipe the blood on his body. Everything in this medical room must be handled strictly to prevent the leakage of his genetic information. This work is personally supervised by the Guards. Even the medical staff and Martian technicians must be fully processed - including but not limited to Brainwashing, replacing biochemical prostheses to avoid leaving behind surgical data, etc. "I must be betrayed once, even if it will cause me great harm, I must do it, because only in this way can I defeat Tiamat."

"I won't ask so many questions. Knowing the past is just as troublesome as knowing the future." The Supreme Mage shrugged. In the eyes of others, the Supreme Mage stood beside the medical bed without saying a word. The emperor closed his eyes and endured the pain while still listening to the report from the commander of the Praetorian Guards. "When do you plan to return to Earth?"

"Two hours later. At the very least, we have to make sure Quetzalcoatl's body will not leave any traces." The emperor suddenly spoke, startling everyone except the Imperial Guards and the Supreme Mage. He has not spoken a word since the teleportation beacon captured the signal from the Emperor's power armor and transported the Emperor from the high-speed asteroid belt. "Execute the removal regulations." He gave instructions to Tita and Constantine, "Accelerate the destruction process of Quetzalcoatl's remains. I don't want any pollutants to remain here."

"I will do it now, my lord." Tita wiped away her tears and nodded to show that she had received the order.

When the Emperor was dragged from the void back to the Sky Battleship hangar by two Hippogriff assault transports, Tita and her escorts immediately rushed over in power armor. The rage they felt when they saw the Emperor's wounds would have torn the hangar apart if the Emperor hadn't put a hand to stop them. After receiving the order, Tita immediately turned around and left the medical room and walked towards the sisters waiting outside - they asked about the emperor's current situation, and everyone seemed very impatient. There was no one in this world who could calm them down. There are only a handful of them. This kind of impatience is very dangerous, because the sisterhood's thoughts are not gentle, and can even be called fanatical, cruel and crazy, otherwise they would not be wearing force feedback attack mechas and waiting outside the medical room in combat formation.

They firmly believe that the Praetorian Guards cannot replace the Sisters' position in the emperor's heart. They even believe that if the Praetorian Guards or knights betray the Emperor, then the Sisters have the ability and obligation to clear out the traitors for their creator. This kind of fanaticism and cruelty The source of his thoughts is the dogma written by the first artificial human Dinah. These dogmas were later recognized and implemented by the artificial people headed by Tita. Until Tita said that the emperor was safe and sound, these artificial talents slowly calmed down and happily carried out the tasks given by the emperor.

This sky battleship is the emperor's preference for the sisterhood. Almost all formal members of the sisterhood are proud of it. Even when they drive the sky battleship to Palestine, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Eastern Europe and other places to plunder war orphans and poor children, They will also explain the power of this sky battleship and the glory of the emperor to those children who are ignorant and crying (referring to being whipped by androids to calm down and get on the plane) - the sisterhood knows that those children cannot understand at all, but this does not mean It does not prevent them from continuing their show-off behavior, just like when they show off their bolt guns to those children, it is all based on a clumsy sense of honor. The emperor did not stop them after knowing this situation. Instead, he thought these artificial humans were cute and stupid. Even if they could crush the skulls of ordinary people with their palms, they were still very cute in the eyes of the emperor.

Tita pushed aside the Martian foundry technicians and servitors who were blocking the way. She did not hesitate to reject the Martian technician's request to conduct sampling work because the emperor ordered that no contaminants should be retained here. She locked the unfortunate man who had made the suggestion into a solitary cell and sent mortal officers to guard him until the operation was over.
