Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 161 The Uncertainty Principle

After a moment of silence, the two met Professor Cheng Yucheng, who was in charge of the accident investigation.

Professor Cheng is in his sixties this year, and his hair has already turned half gray. At this moment, his face is tired, with bags under his eyes.

As soon as he saw the two of them, Professor Cheng complained: "You were assigned by your superiors to assist in the investigation of this incident? Oh, criminal investigators?"

"Yes. I am Zhang Dingshan, Senior Sergeant of the Public Security Bureau. This is my colleague, Lu Ming."

"I said earlier that this was a purely accidental crash without any signs of man-made. I don't know what else to investigate. I suggest that you close the case as soon as possible, and then quickly announce the conclusion of the investigation to the outside world. Now , The outside public opinion is already quite dissatisfied with our delay in making public the conclusion of the investigation.”

Professor Cheng Yu is obviously not aware of the twists and turns behind this.

Zhang Dingshan said solemnly: "Professor Cheng, I can say quite responsibly that our Public Security Bureau has obtained solid evidence to prove that this crash must be a man-made incident that can be characterized as a terrorist attack. accident."

Seeing Zhang Dingshan's seriousness, Professor Cheng Yu couldn't help becoming serious: "Really?"

"Yes. Otherwise, the superior would not have assigned us to come here. But I'm sorry, what kind of evidence we have is limited to confidentiality regulations, so I can't disclose it to you."

Professor Cheng Yu resentfully said: "You all said this, I definitely believe it. It's just... the investigation has been carried out so far, and I really can't find any traces of man-made."

Zhang Dingshan said: "I will mobilize more investigation forces to assist your work."

"It's not a question of how many people there are, you understand? It's like, one person can't fly, and 1 people can't fly. I can only say that I can investigate and doubt everything. After that, even if you transfer 1 people, you still don’t know how to check.”

Lu Ming coughed lightly, and said, "Professor Cheng, maybe... you can look for clues in a direction beyond our current technology."

Facing Lu Ming's words, Professor Cheng Yu was taken aback, as if he was a little uncertain, and repeated: "Beyond our current technology...direction?"

Lu Ming nodded.

Professor Cheng Yu looked at a few people with some uncertainty, and said cautiously: "Outside, aliens?"

He has a certain level of confidentiality, and information of this level can be made known to him.

Faced with his slightly shocked, confused, and absurd question, Zhang Dingshan said seriously: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Are you kidding me?"

Zhang Dingshan shook his head very seriously: "As a senior police chief of the Public Security Bureau, I will tell you clearly and responsibly that I am not joking."

Professor Cheng Yu let out a long breath: "This is interesting. Well, do you know which direction to look?"

"meteorological."

Lu Ming spat out these two words very seriously, and then said: "We have already mobilized a team of meteorological experts. When the time comes, you will be needed to cooperate with their work."

"meteorological?"

Lu Ming told Professor Cheng Yu the results of the discussion of the second action team.Professor Cheng Yu had a thoughtful look on his face.

Lu Qingliang's ability to handle affairs is as clean and neat as ever.A day before Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming arrived at the investigation team's station, a team of four came here.

The leading expert is named Si Hao, a middle-aged man with handsome features.After exchanging pleasantries, several people were brought into the conference room.

In the conference room, Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming had already taken their seats.Cheng Yu and another expert are also here as representatives of the crash investigation team.

However, Zhang Dingshan did not start the task introduction and arrangement immediately.He gestured, and a staff member took out four confidentiality agreements and placed them in front of four meteorological experts.

"Professor Si, the follow-up tasks involve high confidentiality, and you and several of your colleagues need to sign this non-disclosure agreement first. I'm sorry for the regulations."

Lu Ming stood up and explained to Si Hao and the others very respectfully.

Si Hao smiled and waved his hands: "It's a rule, I understand."

He picked up the confidentiality agreement, flipped through it for a while, and signed his name in a short while.The same goes for the other three.

From this moment on, their actions will also be restricted by the secrecy law.Anyone who violates the law will be imprisoned in light cases, and may die in severe cases.

After sending the confidentiality agreement away for archiving, Zhang Dingshan said, "This is the situation for this mission."

He gave a detailed explanation.When I heard Zhang Dingshan's narration, I thought that the crash may have been caused by a secret organization unknown to the human world, which predicted the weather conditions in a limited area in a limited time in advance, and thus advanced After the arrangement caused the plane crash, or simply manipulated the weather to cause the plane to crash, Si Hao and the others were all stunned.

"Professor Si, the task of your team is to infer the detailed weather data of the area where the plane was located at that time based on the crash data from Professor Cheng, and calculate what kind of forecasting ability is needed to achieve such an accurate weather forecast. "

Cheng Yu has a complete simulation of the plane crash process here.Using computer technology, they can clearly and intuitively present on the computer screen what happened in each step of the plane crash process, and what kind of impact the external weather has had on the plane's body.

As a result, Sihao's team can use these known conditions to deduce the detailed meteorological data at that time, even detailed enough to include the different flow rates, densities, and differences between different airflows in each small area. interactions, humidity, temperature, and more.

However, the usual weather forecast is only for a large area, generally saying "wind speed XX, humidity XX" and the like.

"Okay. Well, it can be done in about two days."

"it is good."

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.After that, a picture appeared in front of Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming.

It was an extremely complicated picture, with many lines dividing it into many areas of different sizes and shapes, and each area had three-dimensional images of different colors and numbers. With the passage of time, those different areas The areas are twisting chaotically and changing rapidly.

"The scale is 1:1000."

The length and width of this image are about 40 cm.Counting the scale, it actually represents an area of ​​400 meters in length and width, with a total area of ​​16 square meters.

The depth of this three-dimensional image is as high as 26 meters, which actually means a depth of up to 26 kilometers.The total simulation time is 3 minutes.

"Flight EU7655 took about 2 minutes from the accident to the final inability to recover. During these 2 minutes, the plane flew a total distance of 26 kilometers. That is, this three-dimensional map, from 1 minute before the arrival of the plane Start the simulation until the plane finally leaves the area."

Si Hao pressed the play button.So Lu Ming saw that in this cuboid area, there were too many clumps and areas to twist and interact chaotically, and countless numbers began to change rapidly.

After 1 minute, the image of an aircraft appears on the edge.However, before the plane arrived, its influence had already reached here, causing the change between airflow and airflow to be even more drastic.

When the plane finally slammed into this area at a very high speed, Lu Ming saw that the change in the airflow was so violent that it was like a big fish being thrown directly into the oil pan while it was still alive.

The numbers representing data such as speed, humidity, temperature, density, etc., climbed from extremely low to extremely high, or dropped from extremely high to extremely low in an instant. The drastic changes made him dazzled.

Among them, he noticed that, based on the interaction between the airflows, or some special mechanism that he did not understand yet, a large block with relatively synchronous changes suddenly appeared at the turbine engine on the right wing of the aircraft. .The block first turned blue instantly, which represented extremely low temperature, and then instantly turned red, which represented extremely high temperature.

After repeating this several times, the influence of that virtual plane suddenly exploded with sparks.A group of fiery air rushed out suddenly, making the situation change at this moment even more chaotic.

The overly chaotic and strong airflow affected the movement direction of a certain black dot——Lu Ming knew that it represented a broken fan blade, and it was suddenly inserted into a certain part of the aircraft fuselage.Afterwards, a chain reaction was started until the plane crashed down and completely lost control.

In just 3 minutes, Lu Ming seemed to revisit the whole process of the plane from normal flight to final crash.He intuitively felt how such an extreme and rare weather change destroyed an aircraft by "coincidence".

In the meeting room, several people who watched the accident were all silent.

After a long time, it was Professor Si Hao who broke the silence: "This is all the meteorological data we deduced."

Lu Ming asked: "Then, based on the current weather accuracy, Professor Si, how long can we predict with our current technological strength?"

Zhang Dingshan added: "Assuming you have enough, the most advanced observation equipment in our human world."

Si Hao pondered for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "My answer is that it is impossible to predict. Even the data after one second cannot be predicted."

"what?"

Zhang Dingshan frowned, and Lu Ming was shocked.

Before that, he already had a hunch that the predictable time might not be too long.But no matter how short it is, with enough state-of-the-art observation equipment, it should be possible to barely predict the weather data one or two hours later, right?

How could it be impossible to predict for a second?
"I didn't expect that the accuracy of the meteorological data restored from the wreckage of the plane would reach such a level."

Lu Ming knew that the so-called accuracy in his words meant that if an aircraft could be predicted in advance that it would be destroyed in this weather environment, then the forecast of the weather data in the area would inevitably be to achieve this precision.

Without this kind of accuracy, it would be impossible to predict the conclusion that the plane will crash due to weather factors.

Si Hao sighed: "I want to ask everyone first, how to observe such accurate weather data?"

"Of course... eh?"

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and stopped talking.

He probably got it.

Si Hao continued: "With such high-precision meteorological data, there is little hope of obtaining such high-precision meteorological data unless a sufficient number of sufficiently advanced observation equipment is placed on site. However, the observation equipment itself will also affect the flow of airflow, which will affect the air flow in the area. Meteorological data cause disturbances. If so, how to predict?"

Lu Ming remembered a famous law of physics, the uncertainty principle.

For a particle, it is impossible for a measurer to accurately measure its momentum while accurately measuring its position.

The more accurate the measurement of position, the less accurate the momentum.vice versa.

Because the observation behavior of the observer will interfere with this particle.

At this moment, Si Hao's explanation is actually similar to the principle of uncertainty.

"The reason why we can obtain this data now is to restore it through the effects it causes. We can trace the past, but we cannot predict the future."

Lu Ming pondered for a moment, then asked: "Suppose you have some kind of super facility that can obtain such accurate weather data in this area without interference, then how long can you predict the changes in the future?"

Si Hao was silent for a moment, and then answered: "It's still not enough for a second. It's impossible to predict."

"How is it possible? Or not for a second?"

Lu Ming was taken aback again.

Si Hao smiled wryly: "This area is not closed, but open.

With such high precision, a slight change in the external environment will have a huge impact on the interior.

It is said that we want to predict this small area, but when actually predicting, well, we calculate the high-altitude wind speed at 50 meters per second. In one hour, the wind can blow 180 kilometers. That is, if we want to predict the data after one hour, we It is necessary to obtain all the meteorological data with such precision inside the circular cake with a radius of 180 kilometers.This, is it possible?

Moreover, in principle, it is not only the airflow itself that affects the weather data.There are also various aircraft, birds, and even the mountain peaks on the ground, the vegetation on the mountain peaks, towers, etc., all kinds of things.

This is a completely chaotic system, how can it be predicted? "

Lu Ming was silent.

All he knew before was that the future was unpredictable.But he didn't know that predicting the weather was so difficult.

In fact, looking back and thinking about it, the trend, large-scale, and low-precision predictions of weather forecasts are often inaccurate. Such high-precision, small-scale, and detailed predictions are too difficult to do, but they can be done. Understood.

"Then, according to your understanding, if there is such a thing that can predict changes in weather data with such precision in advance, then how strong is its technological strength?"

Si Hao shook his head: "I can't imagine it. I only know that it must be very advanced, advanced to a level that we can't even imagine."
