"The fourth, remembering is also very important," Tong Jianbai said. "If a person can remember the sweet potato and think of it constantly, they can continuously strengthen the generalized consciousness field, and the sweet potato will condense more easily. But if a person forgets the sweet potato quickly, the effect will be greatly reduced."
"The current mainstream theories only have these four points," Tong Jianbai extended four fingers. "Extremely high cost, unstable results, and the importance of belief and remembrance."
"What are the specific experimental steps now?" Jiang Ye asked. "How are the various planets doing it?"
"First, this matter is strictly confidential and cannot be told to the public," Tong Jianbai said. "Because if it is told, people will instinctively not believe it, and the experiment cannot proceed. After all, belief is very important."
"Then, it's large-scale fictionalization."
"First, create the concept of a virtual planet, and then spread it to the entire planet through various channels."
"For example, I can fictionalize a sweet potato planet, where the surface is covered with sweet potatoes, or it's simply a super-sized sweet potato with a diameter of several thousand kilometers floating in space," Tong Jianbai said. "Then, I will gather all the writers from our Wanli Star to write a lot of novels with the sweet potato planet as the background, selling them all over the planet. After readers read these novels, they will naturally imagine a sweet potato planet, and thus the generalized consciousness field will be formed."
"I can also gather all the film directors of Wanli Star to shoot movies about the sweet potato planet. After the fans watch the movies, they will also imagine the sweet potato planet, and the generalized consciousness field will be formed."
"We can even gather the media, release fake news, announce that our planet has established diplomatic relations with the sweet potato planet, and that we are conducting trade with the sweet potato planet. Various news bombardments will make the public believe that there is such a sweet potato planet, and that we have a good relationship with it."
"In short, it is to use all sorts of means to fictionalize a planet and publicize it widely, so that everyone believes it," Tong Jianbai said. "This is the method that most planets are preparing to use, and it should be the most effective and fastest way to get results."
Jiang Ye was surprised, "It can be done like this?"
"It is indeed a thankless task, and it even loses money, but it's quite interesting," Tong Jianbai smiled. "The ultimate theory of the universe, in this life, who wouldn't want to know the mysteries of this world?"
"How long has this plan been in effect?" Jiang Ye asked.
"The notice was issued two weeks ago, and the news has been spreading for these two weeks," Tong Jianbai said. "Most planets have not officially started experiments yet and are still preparing. A very few planets that are quick to act may have already started. If Brother Jiang wants to participate, it's still not too late to prepare. Because we don't know when this matter will yield results; it might be a few days later, and some substances might condense near Orange Star, or it might take hundreds of years with no results, eventually fizzling out."
"Did the scientists of the Galactic Empire give specific mathematical formulas?" Cen Yemeng interjected. "For example, how many people imagining for how long can condense how much substance, can't this be calculated?"
"Not yet. This theory is too new and not a mature theory," Tong Jianbai said. "Just like in ancient times, scientists calculated and speculated that there were black holes in the universe, but humans had not yet observed black holes and could only keep searching to see if they could find one. Later, they finally found one and confirmed that the theoretical prediction was correct. Some things may exist in theory but not in reality, and some things do not exist in theory but appear in reality. This world is still very mysterious."
The few people ate together for a long time, discussing the virtual planet plan for over an hour.
After dinner, the group went to the tea room.
Jiang Ye and Cen Yemeng met seven planetary leaders and sat together to continue discussing the virtual planet plan, chatting for the entire morning.
At noon, the couple returned to their cabin for a nap.
Cen Yemeng held Jiang Ye gently, curled up in the quilt.
"Husband, I have a feeling that I'm starting to believe this," Cen Yemeng suddenly said.
"I have that feeling too," Jiang Ye said. "When I first heard about it yesterday, I thought it was ridiculous and impossible. But after chatting all morning today, I suddenly feel that this experiment can succeed. It might not be a planet that condenses near Orange Star, but it's very likely that some rocks will appear."
"It's so strange, in just one morning, we believed it," Cen Yemeng hummed softly for a while. "I read a psychology book before that talked about similar things, but I forgot the scientific name. It roughly means that no matter how absurd something is, as long as people around you are discussing it seriously, people will gradually feel that it's true."
"Hey, then you say… can we tell the people of each planet about this? They might not believe it at first, but will they soon believe it like us?" Jiang Ye said.
"I don't know, maybe they won't believe it?" Cen Yemeng said. "If half the people believe and half don't, will the generalized consciousness field cancel out?"
Jiang Ye fell silent, he couldn't figure it out either.
"Husband, should we try the virtual planet plan?" Cen Yemeng asked.
"Let's try it. We control so many planets, let's contribute," Jiang Ye said. "If the experiment is really successful in the future, our planet's history textbooks can record that on such and such a date, the ultimate theory of the universe experiment succeeded, and our planet participated in the experiment."
"Then in what form should we carry out the experiment? Should we follow what Brother Sweet Potato said, keep it secret from the public, and then use various propaganda to create a false impression?" Cen Yemeng asked.
"What's with Brother Sweet Potato?"
"Tong Jianbai. He kept mentioning the sweet potato planet in his examples, and he himself looks like a sweet potato."
Jiang Ye burst into laughter. "Wife, how rude are you? How can you casually give people nicknames? He looks quite good, how does he look like a sweet potato?"
"If I say he looks like one, then he looks like one! He is Brother Sweet Potato!" Cen Yemeng also giggled.
The couple wrestled in bed, and after a long time, they stopped, panting, and continued to sleep embraced.
"Regardless, we need to set up the virtual planet to be created first. The more realistic the details of the setting, the more people will believe it. The more novel the setting, the more people will remember it," Cen Yemeng said. "Brother Sweet Potato is right, novels, movies, and games can all follow. I think novels are the best medium, because when readers read novels, they will automatically conjure up images in their minds. This kind of imaginative thinking will definitely contribute more to the generalized consciousness field."
"Then Isabel can take charge," Jiang Ye said. "Isn't she very good at writing novels? Let her fictionalize a planet that constantly orbits Orange Star and write a novel about it."
