Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 804 - 133: An Unconventional Idea

When Su Junyu pushed open the door, he happened to bump into Mao Zimiao leaving. Mao Zimiao exclaimed, "Senior Brother Su? You're here too?"

Su Junyu didn't expect to see Mao Zimiao here either. He smiled and said, "Recently, there will be some very important matters here. Isn't it normal for me to come?"

"Are you here to see those Senior Brothers and Sisters?" Mao Zimiao naturally entertained.

"I'm here to find Ai Qinglan, Junior Sister Ai from Tianling Ridge, Chen Feng, Junior Brother Chen, and also my sect mate... Chen Youjia, Junior Sister Chen..." When Su Junyu mentioned Chen Youjia's name in front of Mao Zimiao, he always felt a bit unnatural, but he disguised it well.

Mao Zimiao squinted her eyes: "Ah, Junior Brother Chen went out, but both Senior Sisters are here! Senior Sister Chen is always in the study at this time, and Senior Sister Ai should still be in the Empirical Department... I'll take you to find them."

Su Junyu already found something strange when hearing Mao Zimiao mention Chen Youjia. And after seeing Mao Zimiao casually greeting Chen Youjia, his amazement became even more apparent.

However, Chen Youjia kept a straight face, so Su Junyu couldn't judge her mood or whether it was suitable to discuss those topics. In the end, he shook his head, dismissing such thoughts from his mind.

He wasn't here to talk about such matters, and speaking of those chaotic things would never end, he had no intention of wasting his heart power to bring up such a thankless task.

After a while, Ai Qinglan also came to the study and cheerfully greeted Su Junyu: "Ah! Senior Brother Su, it's really been a long time!"

"Indeed." Su Junyu nodded. He entered the sect a year before Ai Qinglan, and most of their friendship was formed six or seven years ago when they worked together at Xinyue Immortal Institute. They weren't really familiar, just ordinary friends. Su Junyu looked around and then asked: "I'm here to discuss a project with you... Here, if I remember correctly, there's another person in charge who is Chen Feng, Junior Brother Chen? If he's not here..."

Ai Qinglan patted her chest: "No problem, no problem! We are family! When I speak, it's as if he speaks!"

— A bit enviable...

Su Junyu remained expressionless and said, "I heard you, Junior Sister Ai, are working on a biological calculator? And it's already successful?"

Ai Qinglan nodded: "Senior Brother Su, you also know about 'those friends', right?"

"I am quite familiar with Senior Sister Mi." Su Junyu directly mentioned Mi's name. This put Ai Qinglan at ease, and she said, "Since you know, we can talk openly. Senior Brother Su, what do you want to do now? If it's the operating path rank needed for developing the biological calculator, Jia'er is working on it, and I believe no one better than her can be found below the Primordial Spirit Stage. For my research, this part is necessary but not significant, and I don't plan to invest much funding in it."

Su Junyu nodded: "I understand. So for this matter, I brought my own funding."

Ai Qinglan clapped her hands: "Wow, you even managed to secure fixed funding, and the funds follow the person—Senior Brother Su, you're not simple!"

Su Junyu shook his head: "Actually, if we really start a cooperative project, I have one hundred percent confidence in securing the funding, which is not fixed funding."

Chen Youjia asked the crucial question: "Senior Brother Su, what do you want to do?"

"Consciousness."

"Consciousness?" Ai Qinglan blinked: "Perhaps you could first talk to Xiaofeng... But Senior Brother Su, since when did you switch to Yangshen Pavilion?"

Su Junyu shook his head: "My 'consciousness' is not the same path as Yangshen Pavilion—you know that the topic I work on is 'Inevitability within Chance'. Witnessing a system evolve from 'uncertainty' to 'certainty', and then researching the mathematical principles in this transformation, that is my idea."

"A certain consciousness of the Sea God Type?"

Su Junyu nodded: "The Sea God Type's body itself is 'uncertain', uncertain in size, uncertain in species... But they can develop a 'certain' consciousness..."

"Ahem, allow me to interject." At this moment, Chen Feng happened to return. After hearing the conversation between Ai Qinglan and Su Junyu, he said: "The Sea God Types don't actually have any 'certain' consciousness, they are in the Personality Formation Stage all their lives, full of uncertainty."

"However, the consciousness of the Sea God Types must have 'certain' parts." Su Junyu emphasized: "Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to communicate among themselves."

Chen Feng nodded: "What you say does make sense, but Sea God Types also engage in mutual slaughter, and some of it is lethal. They don't always understand each other."

Su Junyu shook his head again: "Perhaps we need to clearly define 'mutual understanding'. For example, you are a notorious good person, and in front of you is someone who feels pleasure in killing. You cannot agree with his views—you can understand his thoughts, but cannot agree. This is within the scope of 'can understand'. Then... hmm, as an assumption, suppose there is a madman whose actions are completely irregular, can you still understand?"

"I roughly get it. But why can you be sure this is within your research scope?"

Su Junyu pointed to himself: "The latest translation mechanism between the Human Clan and Sea God Type, I actually developed it."

"Ah?"

"A work of leisure." Su Junyu smiled: "And then I discovered something. The prerequisite for communication between the Human Clan and Sea God Type is a 'middle language'. This middle language is cumbersome for both the Human Clan and Sea God Type but not hard to understand. Through a simple mechanism, this middle language can be converted into Human Clan's spoken language, and then through another mechanism, it can be converted into the 'language' of the Sea God Type."

Ai Qinglan and Chen Youjia were visibly surprised, while Chen Feng was in deep thought: "Indeed, I've heard Senior Sister Xi mention it."

Su Junyu said, "So, do you know what the foundation of the 'intermediate language' is? Set theory! Mathematical logic! Which is to say, mathematics!"

Chen Youjia frowned, "This is indeed a huge support for the Master of Calculation."

The Sea God Type from the other side of the Star Sea, possessing a completely different physiology and consciousness from the Human Clan, yet developed a logical mechanism similar to that of humans, what does this suggest?

Perhaps the Human Clan's set theory is truly a theory close to the Dao!

Su Junyu shrugged, "Honestly, I'm not too concerned about the disputes between the Li Sect and the sect-affiliated disciples. What I care about is another issue—the essence of mathematics."

Why did mathematics emerge? Is it a self-consistent and independent system? If the laws of mathematics do not rely on the material world and can exist independently, then why do the laws of mathematics conform—at least to a certain extent—to the laws of the material world?

Why do the Human Clan and the Sea God Type comprehend a similar logical system? Is this a coincidence? Or perhaps mathematics is actually an inevitable manifestation of the cosmos? Could this indicate that mathematics truly is a real "entity"?

Chen Youjia was a bit troubled, "This... is almost mystical. What significance is there in talking about voids and imagining things?"

"This is the most fundamental question in mathematics!"

Chen Youjia sighed, "I thought the Bai Ze God Monarch's faction would have profound insights on this issue, but…"

"Hey, these questions used to be just philosophical musings, but now it's different. The Sea God Type has appeared before us for real, and these questions have become ones we must face…"

Chen Feng stared in shock, feeling that this scene was oddly familiar.

Who would have thought that the arrival of the Sea God Type would first impact the sect and academic systems that seemed to have the least relation with these alien life forms, the Wanfa Sect, and the mathematical system?

When the people of the Wanfa Sect start making noise, it truly never ends. He personally witnessed how big the issue of dissidents and sect-affiliated disciples blew up a few years ago.

He gently changed the topic, asking, "Senior Brother Su, which part do you want to work on now?"

"Your biological calculator, besides doing the basic operational path rank, also has a part where the Sea God Type participates together, right? I want to…"

Just as a few people were starting to get into the main topic, a childish voice exclaimed, "Ahhhh! Really!"

A little girl with pigtails suddenly jumped out, grabbing Chen Feng's hand, "Xiao Feng! Come out with me for a bit! It's urgent! Quick!"

"What urgent matter?"

"Seeing ghosts seeing ghosts! It's actually a madman, and another fool deceived by the madman, and the fool lent their strength to the madman… such a hassle! Help me sort this out!"

Xi pulled Chen Feng and ran off immediately. Su Junyu stood up, "That was just now…"

"Senior Sister Xi, currently involved with the Sea God Type deployed in the West Sea." Ai Qinglan also stood up, "To think she'd drag Xiao Feng out and ask him for help with trouble… it must be something significant?"

"But the fact that she asked Chen Feng for help means it's not a Demon Clan invasion that requires violent resolution…" Chen Youjia also stood up, "Should we follow and lend a hand?"

Su Junyu and Ai Qinglan looked at each other and nodded, "Looks like it's probably not a particularly dangerous situation but still very troublesome. We should go take a look."

The three of them also left the house. Then, they were startled.

Su Junyu was shocked, "What is that?"

Chen Youjia speculated, "Demon Clan?"

"That is not life." Ai Qinglan was very sensitive to this, "Mechanical Beast?"

"There must be nearly ten thousand of them? And the power those Mechanical Beasts emit is probably of a high level!"

Chen Youjia finally remembered what they came for and quickly found the direction Chen Feng and Xi went. The three chased after them. For some reason, Chen Youjia had a vague feeling that Xi's trouble might be related to that group of Mechanical Beasts.

Then, they arrived at the scene Xi mentioned just in time to see a little girl sitting on Wang Qi's chest, grabbing Wang Qi's collar and shouting, "Not being human anymore? Next time you get such thoughts, I'll personally send you to the afterlife, believe it or not!"

"You actually want to transform your own blood cells into my form? You can't handle my body at all, do you know that?"

"You saw it last time with me, your Human Clan's humanity is not fully compatible with us! If you do that and rebellious parts arise… you you you… what will you do!" (To be continued.
