Chapter 356: Additional Livestream, World’s Essence (1)
Chapter 356 – Additional Livestream, World’s Essence (1)
China, Jinzhou City, 8:00 PM:
After dinner, the Chen family gathered in the living room and had a casual conversation while watching TV.
Seeing a good opportunity, Chen Yu yawned and sent his whole family into slumberland.
“Come out and help me quickly.”
While picking up Chen Sanke with his left hand and carrying Chen Erke on his right shoulder, Chen Yu called out to the invisible Little Peach. “Be gentle. Don’t wake them up.”
“Understood.” Little Peach nodded after revealing herself. She then picked up the unconscious Father Chen and made her way to the master bedroom. “Didn’t we just conduct a livestream this morning? Why are we streaming again?”
“I need to earn some money.”
“Huh?”
“Don’t ask.”
“Mr. Chen, what about this dog?” After sending Father Chen and Mother Chen back into the master bedroom, Little Peach picked up the husky and asked, “How about we place it into the Automatic Cooking Pot and turn it into ice cream?”
The husky: “…”
Chen Yu: “…What kind of grudge do you have against it?”
“I don’t have a grudge,” Little Peach said, shaking her head. She then inwardly added, But I do have a debt…
“Don’t worry about the dog. Just leave it on the ground. Time is of the essence, so stop dilly-dallying.”
“Okay!”
Three minutes later, the two of them had completed their preparations and stood before the Interstellar Portal.
“Mr. Chen, will you be wearing your protective suit today?”
“No.” Chen Yu shook his head as he pulled out a metallic finger sleeve from his pocket. After wearing the sleeve on his right middle finger, he said, “I have the E·I Force Field now, so I won’t be using the protective suit in the future. You can have that thing if you want.”
“Really?!” Little Peach couldn’t help but be surprised by Chen Yu’s words. “That means I can fly into the sky together with you from now on!”
“Mhm.” Waving his hand nonchalantly, Chen Yu put on his mask and established a spatial link to the Headmaster’s Tower’s main hall. “The protective suit is in the study’s secret room. Go put it on. I’ll be starting the livestream first. Even after you’re done changing, make sure not to enter the camera’s view.”
“No problem.”
After watching Little Peach leave for the study, Chen Yu found a random chair to sit down on. He then placed the Civilization’s Shining Moment on the table before him and activated the livestream rooms.
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated…]
[All webcasting platforms worldwide connected!]
4.55 million.
26.44 million.
98.8 million…
160 million…
Over 200 million IP addresses flooded the various livestream rooms instantly.
Due to this being an abrupt review, many of his fans were unprepared for this livestream. Otherwise, the total viewer count definitely wouldn’t be lower than the morning livestream.
[What the? What’s with this abnormal situation?]
[A repeat?]
[What’s going on?]
[I object to ma.s.s-produced content.]
[First! I’m first!]
[I have a bad premonition. Are aliens invading us?]
[As a veteran subscriber for over a dozen years, this is the first time I’ve seen the UP hosting two livestreams in one day.]
[Ditto. This is an unprecedented incident!]
After waiting for two minutes, Chen Yu raised his wrist and glanced at the total viewer count. He then began with his opening remarks, “Good evening, friends in the livestream rooms. We meet again. This is Transdimensional Review’s additional livestream.
“The reason why I’m hosting another livestream today is because I received a very interesting product. My old viewers should be very familiar with this product as well.”
After saying so, Chen Yu patted the thick book before him and said, “This is Civilization’s Shining Moment, November 4375 Edition. Recorded within it is a technological revolution the future human civilization has experienced.
“Simply put, one of the achievements recorded inside the journal is the unification of the theory of relativity and quantum theory!”
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, a barrage of bullet comments flooded the various livestream rooms.
[What the?]
[What the?!]
[c.r.a.p! I knew it! I knew that both the theory of relativity and quantum theory were correct! The only reason they seem contradictory now is simply that the standard of our civilization is too low.]
[Since it’s a journal from the future, its credibility should be high. I’m betting the scientific community is ready to get high.]
[This is awesome!]
[Had Hawking left a few years later, he would’ve definitely jumped up from his wheelchair when he heard the UP’s words.]
[The unification of the theory of relativity and quantum theory? What does that mean?]
[What is the theory of relativity? Is it a mobile game?]
[It’s an improved version created by Mr. Lu Xun based on The a.n.a.lects.]
[Quantum theory belongs to the branch of DNA science. It is used to measure whether one’s son is their biological son or not.]
[Oh! (Sudden realization)]
[Awesome, awesome…]
After giving his audience a moment to think, Chen Yu straightened his mask and continued, “During one of my previous livestreams, I’ve said that the theory of relativity has been tested countless times in the future, and its validity has been proven. In that case, quantum theory, which contradicts the theory of relativity, is likely to have errors, and I recommended for the scientific community to prepare for these errors in advance.
“Now, I solemnly apologize to the scientific community. Apparently, quantum theory is also correct. The reason why we think it conflicts with the theory of relativity is simply because we, as a low-end civilization, are only capable of looking at things from a low-end perspective. As a result, we have ignored a lot of important details.
“The main purpose of this additional livestream is to explain and popularize the knowledge of this aspect, broaden human horizons, open the handcuffs restraining the scientific community, and save our civilization from taking thousands of years of detours.”
After a slight pause, Chen Yu continued, “I know that a considerable number of people on the internet will criticize me for facilitating civilization’s growth. These people think that scientific development should be taken step by step instead of just incorporating future knowledge. So, I’ll use this opportunity to address these criticisms.
“The universe is a cruel place. The development of civilization is tortuous as well. Regardless of individuals or races, pursuing efficiency and strength has always been the right way to go. Obtaining future technology won’t just mean that modern humans will lose the ability to create new technologies. Take China, for example. A few decades ago, China had nothing, and the only thing it could do was copy from others. Now, however, its ability to create is not the slightest bit inferior to other countries.
“Most importantly, we live in a world where the ‘Great Filter’ exists. The slower we develop our strength, the larger the probability of our civilization facing annihilation. The universe isn’t a game. There are no designers to create a beginner’s village for budding civilizations to grow in.
“If there is an opportunity for humans to achieve technology that can normally only be achieved in 10,000 years using just 1,000 years, why not take this opportunity? Are those so-called experiences of yours really more important than ensuring the human civilization’s continuation?”
Raising three fingers, Chen Yu said, “Three months ago, if mankind had followed its established route, then an asteroid would’ve definitely hit Earth by now, causing devastating damage to human civilization. Who can guarantee that in the next 10,000 years, Earth would be able to continue developing smoothly?
“Wandering black holes, gaseous changes, star anomalies, gamma-ray bursts… Any one of these disasters could lead to mankind’s extinction.
“Hence, modern human civilization needs future technology.”
Standing up, Chen Yu gestured an ‘OK’ to the camera and said, “n.o.body understands civilization better than me.”
After saying so, Chen Yu opened the Civilization’s Shining Moment’s first page and revealed two words to the camera—The Truth.
“Now, let’s enter the main topic.
“The focus of this journal isn’t on the unification of the theory of relativity and quantum theory. Instead, this is only something mentioned on the sidelines.
“Instead, its true focus is the unveiling of the world’s essence!
“The Earth, the solar system, the Milky Way, and even the universe… In reality, everything we see…”
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu calmly said, “Is an illusion.”
The pupils of the livestream’s hundreds of millions of viewers contracted simultaneously…
