Chapter 706 U: Infinite Events (Twenty-Five)
In the Marvel world setting, there is a very important point, that is, the universe within the multiverse is infinite, so what exactly constitutes the infinite universe?
In the comics, the answer was given that a certain idea of a certain character at a certain point in time will form a new universe, and in the real world, there is also a similar parallel universe.
For example, now, the TV series, movies and literary works we can see are actually parallel universes. They are born because of human ideas and can be observed by us because of certain special rules.
Marvel's editors obviously got inspiration from such theories, so they set Marvel's universe structure as an infinite universe.
Such a setting has a high upper limit. For example, the "what if" universe that is popular with many comic readers is actually a kind of infinite universe.
At a certain point in time, after a possible change, a new universe is generated, which will trigger a new story. In this way, Marvel's editors have endless stories to draw.
Schiller had noticed this when reading comics, but, like people in real life, whenever the theory that movies might be parallel universes was mentioned, he just laughed it off. It was a beautiful idea when he was imagining it, but it seemed like nonsense when it came to reality.
Facing the restart of the single universe, in the process of everything reversing, Schiller witnessed the truth of the infinite universe with his own eyes. Hearing is false, seeing is true. When he realized that the infinite universe is actually composed of infinite possibilities, Schiller understood that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Every thought, every idea, every dream is a universe, and what Schiller lacks the least is dreams.
In the endless rooms in the mind palace, each room represents a dream, and all personality traits are born from a certain experience and a certain dream.
Since every dream is a universe, does it mean that all the rooms in his mind tower are a universe that actually exists in the Marvel world?
Thinking of this, Schiller began to explore his mind palace again.
Since he had searched this place many times before in DC, he was sure that the mind palace floated up, which was the surface consciousness, and dived down, which was the subconsciousness. Apart from this, there was no other channel to come to the real world, and the body he could control was only the current single universe.
So, how to explore these universes in his mind? And how to send the personalities in these universes out of the single universe and travel freely in the multiverse?
Schiller suddenly thought of the time when he just got the ship of the underworld, he had a guess, can this big ship from the dream also carry the dream to the reality?
Schiller has been using the ship of the underworld to travel through dreams, from his own dreams. To Professor X's dream, or to Stark's dream, this ship has been parked by Schiller next to the tower of the mind palace, and has never been driven into the interior of the tower.
The interior here does not refer to the open space in the center of the tower, but to every room in the mind palace.
The ship of the underworld has never really entered the room, so Schiller didn't know whether it could carry the personality inside to the unknown place outside the room when it entered the room of his mind palace, that is, his dream.
Thinking of this, Schiller lay back on the bed, closed his eyes, and sank his thoughts into the mind palace. When he appeared in the open space in the center of the mind palace again, the big pit was still there, and the subconscious below was dark.
The gate of the tower is very grand, and it is not difficult to row in, but the boat cannot climb the stairs, and the room in the mind palace does not have such a big door for rowing in and out. In order to realize Schiller's conjecture, special methods must be used, and Schiller knows who to find.
"You mean, let me build a new elevator to send the boat up?" In an office, the self wearing a black turtleneck sweater asked while working.
"Yes, don't you think this tower lacks a freight elevator? The original small elevator is quite efficient, but it would be difficult to transport large items, right?" Schiller in a white coat asked.
After thinking for a while, he said, "That makes sense, but you want to drive the boat into the room? There are no corridors and doors in the room for you to use."
Schiller thought for a while, and then said, "Since we can't widen the corridors and doors, we can try to shrink the boat."
Schiller in a white coat said as he walked out of the office. He saw that when he went down two steps, the construction site below had already started, and a new freight elevator was being built. At this time, Schiller thought of a good way to shrink the ship of the underworld.
"Shrink it quickly!"
A spell sounded, the magic wand drew a graceful arc, and a stream of light hit the ship of the underworld. Schiller, the potion professor in the uniform of the Snake Academy, put away his staff.
As the stream of light gradually covered the entire Underworld Ship, the hull slowly shrank to about one-tenth of its original size. With this size, it could easily pass through the door of the room.
Professor Schiller of Potions turned to Schiller in a white coat and said, "Are you really going to explore the border of the room? Why don't you come to my room first?"
"You seem very curious?"
"Magic begins with curiosity."
After the freight elevator was built, Schiller backed the Underworld Ship into the warehouse and moved it to the elevator platform. As the elevator "rumbled" into operation, the Underworld Ship, which had been reduced in size, stopped in the corridor.
Then, Schiller stood at the bow of the ship and began to move the parking space until the bow of the Underworld Ship was facing the entrance of the door. Professor Schiller of Potions walked into the room first, and Schiller in a white coat rowed in. After the door was closed, the symbol of the Deathly Hallows on the door handle glowed.
Originally, everyone who entered this room should appear on the boat leading to Hogwarts, but because Schiller himself rowed in on a famous boat, he appeared directly on the shore of the Black Lake.
Looking at the majestic castle, Schiller turned around and asked, "Have you ever left this castle?"
"Of course, I often go to Diagon Alley to buy things, and I also go to Hogsmeade for a drink. I have also been to the Ministry of Magic before, but I don't like dealing with people there." Potions Professor Schiller shook his head and said.
"No, I mean, without Floo powder and without the fireplace, but along the Black Lake, what will be there?"
"It's the wall of the room. Do you still need to ask me this?" The Potions Professor replied very calmly: "Imagination has its limits. We are the product of the same person's dream. All the details in the dream come from our memory. Where the memory is vague, there is naturally nothing."
"Does this novel mention the specific geographical location of Hogwarts? In other words, even if it is mentioned, we don't know the specific topography here, so the outside is blank."
"Moreover, the larger the dream, the more storage capacity is consumed. In order to prevent insufficient capacity, there will be room walls in places that cannot be loaded. We are dreamers, but we are awake, so there is no need to test where the room walls are."
Potions Professor Schiller finished speaking, and Schiller in a white coat nodded. They are the same person. Although their memories are not common for the time being, if they go to the archive room where the memories are stored to check, they will definitely find the same content.
The room in the Hall of Thought is equivalent to a world that Schiller imagined himself, but fantasy also needs to be based on reality. Things that are unknown in reality are unlikely to appear in dreams.
A person who only scored 60 points in mathematics cannot dream of any complex mathematical formulas, and a person who has never been interested in history cannot dream of specific historical figures.
At the same time, the richer the details of the dream and the larger the area, the more brain capacity it will occupy. A tower with more than 300 floors and countless dreams, if each one is infinitely large, Schiller's brain cannot store it.
This leads to the fact that the world in the room is actually just a small area. Beyond cognition and limits, it is the wall of the room.
This is a bit like Truman's world. Everything here is built by Schiller's fantasy, and beyond this, there are only high walls that limit dreams.
But today, Schiller plans to row a boat to the wall of the room to see if he can find a window for him to sneak out?
Potions Professor Schiller used the magnification spell to enlarge the ship of the underworld. Schiller rowed the boat with him and rowed all the way out along the Black Lake.
When approaching the border, the water surface gradually became calm, without so many textures, and there were fewer and fewer trees and shrubs.
When they approached the shore, it was a very simple grassland, without layers of rocks, no plants of different heights, only the most ordinary grass.
Going forward, an air wall blocked the way of the two Schillers, and outside the air wall, only endless grass could be seen. This was the boundary of the entire room.
Walking around the entire border, Schiller did not find the existence of windows. If a dream is compared to a single universe, then the wall of the room is actually the extreme wall of the single universe.
In other words, if you want to break through the barrier of the single universe, you have to upgrade.
At the beginning, Stark used wisdom and magic to upgrade to the single universe, and Loki used the aura of political correctness to peek at the scenery above the universe. If you want to leave this dream of the single universe, you can also use the same method.
However, the conditions for achieving these two methods are somewhat difficult and require a certain amount of time. If Schiller were to upgrade himself, he would not take this approach. He would rather directly make a hole.
Schiller agrees with a very simple truth: as long as it is a program, it can be bugged, and as long as there is a wall, a hole can be made.
Whether it is the wall of a house in reality or the barrier of a single universe, it is the same.
Speaking of making holes, Schiller thought that there is a big hole in the open space in the center of the Mind Palace, which is the big hole that Hugo made before that leads to the subconscious.
Schiller knew how much he had reinforced the floor of the Mind Hall, so that he couldn't make a hole in it himself, and could only rely on external forces. The walls of the room couldn't be harder than the floor he had repeatedly reinforced, right?
Of course, there was no Hugo in the Marvel world. Even if there was, Schiller didn't plan to go through such a big detour to ask him to help make a hole in the wall, because there was a better tool man in the Marvel world, that is Professor X.
Hugo used more skills and tools, but Professor X was so strong that he could fly bricks. Even an ordinary person like Hugo could use a little trick to make a big hole in the floor of Schiller's Mind Hall. Then such a powerful Professor X could naturally add windows to the walls of the room, right?
Soon, Professor Charles appeared next to the wall of the Hogwarts room. He looked up and down at the air wall and said, "Are you sure you want me to make a hole in this thing?"
Charles shook his head and said, "Schiller, if it wasn't you who made this request, I would definitely think he wanted to commit suicide. Human thinking is very fragile."
"Once the dream world is destroyed, some images in it will run out of the dream and come into normal thinking, which may cause people to suffer from paranoia, or some hallucinations of schizophrenia. You should know this better than me..."
"But since you asked me to do so, I can try it."
As he said this, Charles closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, stretched out a hand, and an invisible force gushed out from his palm.
A faint cutting sound came from a very close place, but there was no sign of any breaking.
A slight air ripple appeared where the air wall was. After a while, Charles exhaled, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "The room you built is really solid, but now, I have opened a hole in that place, and also installed a window for you..."
"If you want to go out, open the window. After you leave, the window will automatically close to prevent other things from running out..."
Schiller applauded with praise, and Charles smiled modestly.
A few minutes later, standing in the center of the Hall of Thought, Schiller stretched out a hand and pointed upwards. Charles looked up and heard Schiller say:
"Then trouble you to open a window in all the rooms here."
Charles widened his eyes, looked at Schiller and said, "That will cause your thinking to be completely disordered. Are you crazy?!"
"I'm not crazy..." Schiller showed a somewhat crazy smile, as if he was learning something, and said:
"People who restart the universe at will are crazy."
