Chapter 180 Definition of Imaginary Numbers



Chapter 180 Definition of Imaginary Numbers

……

When Yun Fuyu woke up again, he found himself in Mei's laboratory. He must have suddenly fainted, and Wilvi had brought him over.

Oh ho, it's not Möbius's lab after all?

His thoughts kept wandering, from "May might know something," to "Mébius wasn't involved in all this recent stuff," and finally to the imagined giant serpent sobbing, "You guys don't include me..."

"..."

Coming to his senses, he sat up from the lab bed, skillfully wrapped his half-naked body in the sheet, and stood up to greet May and Wilville, who were whispering beside him: "Good afternoon."

Clearly, he's gotten used to being "lying in the lab," and can even casually say good afternoon.

May gestured to him with her lips, indicating that his clothes were over there and he could put them on, before continuing her awkward conversation with Wilvi.

When Yun Fuyu returned after getting dressed, Mei asked directly, "Yun Fuyu, did you remember something?"

Wilvi had already shared information with her, and she knew about what had happened before, so she directly asked Yun Fuyu, "Do you remember who you are?"

Yun Fuyu nodded, then shook her head hesitantly: "I...don't remember."

Vervi narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a pair of beautiful, long, and shrewd eyes: "It seems that your identity is indeed very suspicious."

Mei asked curiously, "You said Seele comes from beyond this world, so will Seele know your identity?"

"...That is indeed a good idea."

Yun Fuyu echoed, subconsciously avoiding the question of her own identity, and instead asked, "What are you discussing?"

May: "A very interesting question—how to express the power of imaginary numbers."

Yun Fuyu: "...Huh?"

Mei raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly pleased with herself for having figured out the problem, which made Yun Fuyu curious as well.

Mei explained, "I won't go into anything too basic or too advanced, in case you don't understand. Let's start from another angle—Yun Fuyu, have you heard of the Stigmata Project?"

He nodded.

Mei: "The world we live in is a world of real numbers, that's undeniable. Do you know the definition of imaginary numbers?"

In mathematics, an imaginary number is a number of the form a + bi, where b is not zero and the square of i is -1.

In the real world, in the world of real numbers, such numbers can never actually exist; they can only be expressed theoretically.

However, in the imaginary world, things that are originally impossible to exist or represent are one of the fundamental elements that constitute this world.

Elements such as will, story, and narrative will take concrete form here.

"For example, the tree of imaginary numbers is a tree of the universe that grows along the direction of time, and it is an absolutely high-dimensional existence. If you 'break off' a branch and then look at it with a magnifying glass, you can see all the information and evolution of a world from nothing to something on that branch."

"And the rules of the imaginary world are this magnifying glass. When you step into the imaginary world, every piece of information and every memory has its own life; they are all living material foundations. The more material you possess, the stronger you become."

"To put it simply: in the world of imaginary numbers, memory (including knowledge) is an absolute, objectively existing force."

Mei steered the conversation back to the beginning: "So, the direction of the Stigmata Project is clear now, isn't it? If we can enable everyone to possess Stigmata and use them to 'upload' information from the real world to the imaginary world, then the information of an entire world will be the most powerful force that humanity can muster! Even if the Herrscher of the End descends, we will not be powerless to fight back!"

The clouds and rain, like stars in the sky, finally grasped the key point: in the world of imaginary numbers, memory (including knowledge) is an absolute, objectively existing force.

For example, Fu Hua's frequent use of the Feather Dust Zero Power is based on the principle of gaining power by burning memories.

Just listen to the rest and ignore them.

------

The reason why Yunfuyu has always been neither too strong nor too weak lies in this.

Erinis possessed all of his memories, and naturally, he also controlled all of his power. Although he could not reach the level of a fully realized god, he could achieve the level of a fully realized cloud-assisted rain.

If we look at it in terms of data, then it's 98% omniscience and omnipotence. Even if the remaining tiny bit is an insurmountable chasm, it still surpasses almost everything else in the world.

She clutched these memories tightly, ensuring that Yun Fuyu would never awaken. Even if she did awaken, she would be incomplete, unable to undergo any significant transformation.

...Or perhaps, he actually knew something all along, but just refused to say it?

That day, when he saw Seele return, his eyes held such complex emotions.

------

Mei explained the definition of imaginary numbers, and thinking about the immense power that the Stigmata Project might achieve, she unconsciously became somewhat excited. Fortunately, she was of outstanding composure and eventually calmed down, then brought up the matter of Yun Fuyu.

Who doesn't have a heart that wants to be a matchmaker? Upon hearing Yun Fuyu say, "Xi'er might leave," everyone frantically offered suggestions to help him "win back his love."

But the conversation eventually turned to the real question: what exactly is Seele worried about that makes her so determined to leave?

Yun Fuyu was deeply mired in self-doubt, feeling it was because of Bronya and the people of the current civilization.

This is actually related to the Sea of ​​Quanta. What has become of Seele's corrupted form? Will she harm anyone?

Moreover, since Seele knows that Yun Fuyu is that person's human form, will the Quantum Sea attack him?

That's why she needed to leave, so as not to hurt him.

This is what Seele has been thinking about recently.

Alicia's offer of "continuing to live after losing their memories" was indeed a good one, but under the threat of higher-dimensional existence, Seele became increasingly afraid to continue waiting idly.

……

Just as Yun Fuyu was having a pleasant conversation with Wilvi and Mei—in fact, it was the two of them who came up with the idea to "keep" Xier—it was like hitting a snake at its vital point, a complete waste of effort.

Just then, Seele rushed in.

She heard that Yun Fuyu had gone to see Wilvi, but then she heard that Yun Fuyu had been sent to Mei's research institute in a coma. She panicked and came to Mei's door.

Regardless of what she thought in her heart, Yun Fuyu was always happy to see Xi'er.

He hugged Xi'er, who rushed towards him, and gently asked while rubbing her head, "What's wrong? You look scared?"

Of course, Xi'er was afraid, afraid that he would be disappointed or even angry with her because of what happened that morning. But at this moment, Yun Fuyu was as gentle as ever, showing no signs of anything amiss.

She secretly used the power of creation to heal her slightly red eyes, but he couldn't see it.

Seele nestled in his arms, looked up at him with eyes as clear as the ocean.

They both enjoy making eye contact with each other, which makes their words more persuasive and allows them to sense each other's emotions through their gaze.
