Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 246 Schrödinger's Pig

He Wei looked at Lu Ming fixedly.

At this moment, she also clearly felt that the changes in the situation had pushed her side to the edge of the cliff.

The resurrection process of the God of Destiny is very likely to be accelerated.After the God of Destiny is resurrected, no one knows what will happen.But what is certain is that this extremely high probability will not be a good thing, and no one hopes that the God of Destiny will really be resurrected.

One's own side must respond immediately and immediately to change this unfavorable situation.

However, the most important question appeared in front of the two of them again.

What exactly to do, how to do it?What can our side do?
With the development of the matter up to now, all the investigation results of our own side are only transactional.Our own side has found out a series of events caused by this sarcophagus, but we still don't know anything about the "origin" of the sarcophagus.

At least, He Wei couldn't think of anything she could do.

"Lu Ming, what are you going to do? How do you do it?"

She looked at Lu Ming eagerly and eagerly.Just like, no matter what Lu Ming said next moment, even if it was going up the mountain of swords or down into the sea of ​​fire, He Wei would immediately complete the matter without hesitation.

that's the truth.This feeling that she has all the strength but can't do anything has already made her feel depressed and angry.

All her hopes were pinned on Lu Ming at this moment.

Lu Ming looked at He Wei: "I want to know what the God of Destiny's method is to change the fate of the fetus in the womb of a pregnant woman or a pregnant beast."

He Wei was taken aback.

"How do I know?"

What Lu Ming wanted to know was also what Zhang Dingshan, Lu Qingliang, He Wei, Li Wenhua and others wanted to know.

Lu Ming did not directly answer this question, but said: "I think there may be some deviations in our previous investigation thinking. Well, it's not that we were wrong at the beginning, but after confirming the existence of the sarcophagus, And after confirming that the sarcophagus really has this special ability."

He Wei didn't quite understand.

Lu Ming murmured: "After confirming those things before, we still pin our hope of clarifying this case on the 'business' investigation according to the previous investigation habit. We hope that through the investigation Know the source of the sarcophagus, the relationship between the sarcophagus and the fate organization, and the Dali culture, and its origin, and hope to find out the mystery through interrogation and data."

"Is this wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. And, generally speaking, this level of investigation is enough. But this time... it's not enough to do this. Only investigating these superficial things can't touch the root of things. .”

"The root of things?"

"Why does the sarcophagus have this ability, how is this ability realized, what is the process of realization, what is the principle based on... This is the fundamental. Compared with this fundamental, its origin, its connection with our human world The relationship is just superficial."

"Okay, you're right. Just tell me what to do."

Lu Ming hesitated for a moment, pondered for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Bring in another thousand pregnant sows, and start offering sacrifices again."

"what?!"

He Wei was taken aback.

what's the situation?
Although our own large-scale experiments have allowed us to verify many things, there is a high probability that it has provided enough "energy" for the God of Destiny who has not yet been resurrected, indirectly giving it the ability to start the process of autonomous resurrection.

Now, another thousand heads are to be sacrificed?

Is this for fear that the God of Destiny will not be resurrected fast enough?Do you want to add more fire to its resurrection process?
"I didn't want to do that in the first place."

Lu Ming murmured: "But now, we have to do this. He Wei, rather than doing nothing and waiting for the God of Destiny to come back to life, I think it is better to keep the hope of ending this matter—even if it may cause the God of Destiny to come back to life." An early resurrection is a better choice."

He Wei noticed that in Lu Ming's words, there was an expression "retaining the hope of ending this matter".

So……

Do you want to take the risk?
What if sacrificing a thousand sows once again accelerated the resurrection process of the God of Destiny, but our side still didn't gain anything?

It's just a hope after all.

But if you don't do this, you can only do what Lu Ming said, "do nothing and wait for the god of destiny to come back to life".

He Wei gritted her teeth: "I believe in you."

The matter is thus settled.He Wei contacted Lu Qingliang, and Lu Qingliang contacted the pig farm. The next day, the first batch of hundreds of pregnant sows were transported to the manor.As a result, this manor, which was regarded as a lair and a holy place by the fate organization, was once again filled with the snoring of sows and the smell of pig manure.

The difference is that, compared with the last large-scale sacrifice, this time, besides the pregnant sows, another group of people came.

They brought some specially made equipment.This device consists of two parts, one is an opaque box with a length, width and height of about half a meter, and there are some control buttons on it.

The second is an unknown device with a length of more than ten centimeters and a thickness of five or six centimeters, like a thick book.There are also some devices such as button displays on this device.

A large number of staff were busy connecting the two parts of this special equipment and starting debugging.

The total number of such devices is one thousand.It took less than a day to install and debug these devices.

Afterwards, mass sacrifices began again.

In the sanctuary, in front of this sarcophagus that is always beeping independently even if it is no longer offering sacrifices, once again a pregnant sow was placed in a coma after three procedures: bathing in moonlight, drawing a hexagram, and being anesthetized. At a place less than five meters away from the sarcophagus.At the same time, members of the original Fate organization kicked the ground again.

The sacrificial process continued as usual.After each batch of sacrificed sows, they will be transported away immediately and placed in temporary pig houses.There are dedicated veterinarians who take care of them until they give birth.

In three days, half of the total [-] pregnant sows, that is, [-] sows, were all sacrificed.The other half of [-] pregnant sows served as a control group and did not participate in the sacrifice.

After that, starting from the fourth day, the pregnant sows began to give birth one after another.Among them, both those who participated in the sacrifice and those who did not participate in the sacrifice.

A total of more than one hundred sows among the two types of sows gave birth to offspring, and a total of about 960 piglets were born.On average, 9.6 piglets were born per sow.Among them, 430 piglets participated in the sacrifice, and more than 530 piglets did not participate in the sacrifice.

Under Lu Ming's order, the total of 960 piglets were individually numbered, and after their blood relationship was clarified, they were placed in opaque boxes with special equipment like before.

In a certain room used as the main control room, a computer was placed in front of He Wei and Lu Ming, and there was also a special device like a thick book connected to the computer. superior.

After receiving the report that all preparations were completed, Lu Ming took a deep breath and looked at He Wei: "Come on."

He Wei nodded: "OK."

She stepped forward and pressed the button on the device that looked like a thick book.The next moment, a row of numbers appeared on the computer screen.

659.

"wait."

Lu Ming said.

He Wei knew that in front of her, the device like a thick book was a quantum random number generator.At the moment it's set up so that as soon as the button is pressed, it immediately generates a random number in the range 0 to 3600.And this number is regarded as a delay by one's own side.

At this moment the random number has been generated, which is 659.It means that after a delay of 659 seconds, the start command will be sent.

At this moment, He Wei was still a little worried.

"This...is the number 659 really randomly generated? I remember reading an article before, which said that the so-called random numbers generated by the computer system are actually fake random numbers, not real."

Lu Ming said: "The so-called random numbers generated purely by algorithms are of course fake, and they are not random in nature. Just like the random playback of music players, like the so-called probability in online games, they are all pseudo-random."

The essence of pseudo-random is to rely on a fixed algorithm to generate a series of fixed numbers.Because their prefactors are fixed, before the random algorithm generates random numbers, it is actually possible to predict in advance what kind of numbers they will generate.

Of course, this kind of random number is not really random, but pseudo-random.

There are also algorithms that try to rely on the chaotic nature of the human world to generate random numbers.For example, such a device can be set, which is installed at the entrance and exit of someone with a huge flow of people. By measuring the precise speed of each person passing by this entrance and exit, for example, it is accurate to the tenth place after the decimal point, and then the number of digits as a random number generated by itself.

No one can control the precise speed of everyone passing through this entrance and exit.Even if someone wanted to control it, he couldn't do it.Because there are too many factors that determine what this number is.

Maybe someone is in a happy mood today and walks a little faster, someone is in a heavy heart and walks a little slower, someone slipped a foot, someone was bumped...

There are too many factors that determine what this number is, and no one can control it.This is the chaos of the human world.

Are the numbers generated based on this mechanism truly random?
For most applications, this level of randomness is sufficient, but from a physical point of view, even if no one can control it, no one can influence it, and no one can predict it, it is still Not really random numbers.

The concept of chaos is a huge deviation caused by a system based on initial small variables after linear evolution.For example, the three-body problem is a typical chaotic system.

But this is only based on the hugeness of the system, which is unpredictable for limited computing power.If there is a theoretical device with sufficient computing power, even powerful enough to take into account every detail and initial factor, then chaos is still predictable.

Of course, such a high computing power cannot be achieved in the real world, but it at least has a theoretical solution.However, as long as there is a theoretical solution, the random numbers generated based on chaos cannot be counted as true random numbers.

So, how can we generate truly random numbers?

This may seem difficult, but it is not.For example, in the modern world, there is basically a true random number generator in the CPU of every computer.

Atoms at temperatures above absolute zero undergo thermal motion.Absolute zero cannot be reached. Combining the two, it can be considered that all atoms in the universe have thermal motion.

The atoms in the integrated circuits that make up the CPU chips will of course also have this kind of thermal motion.These thermal movements will generate noise in the circuit, and the noise will cause slight fluctuations in the voltage in the circuit.

Because the thermal motion of atoms is physically random, the random numbers generated by measuring the tiny fluctuations in voltage can be regarded as true random numbers.

However, because the classical physical process still has the possibility of being simulated when all variables are considered, the random numbers generated through this mechanism, although truly random, are still not "true" enough.

However, the quantum random number generator placed in front of Lu Ming and He Wei at the moment uses more basic laws of physics.

It is based on the randomness generated by quantum physical processes.And this kind of randomness is completely, completely true randomness.

There is a great deal of this randomness in the world of quantum physics.And their randomness has been demonstrated by many basic physical theories and proved by a large number of rigorous scientific experiments.They are completely unpredictable.

In each of these quantum random number generators, there are traces of radioactive decay elements.For each atom of this element, when it decays is completely unpredictable and truly random.Then its principle is very simple. By counting the random decay of this element, a truly truly random number can be obtained.

At this moment, such a quantum random number generator based on the bottom-level characteristics of the universe and based on the basic physical theory will generate a completely unpredictable and unpredictable number before this number appears. Analog numbers.

659.

After 659 seconds, an activation command was sent to each of the black boxes, which were also equipped with quantum random number generators.

After receiving the start command, these quantum random number generators will randomly generate one of 0 and 1.Moreover, the probability of generating 0 and 1 is strictly limited to 50%.

If the final number generated by the quantum random number generator is 0, then the black box connected to it will release poisonous gas, killing the piglets placed in it.If the generated number is 1, the gas will not be released and the pig will still be alive.

However, it is impossible for people to know whether the pig is dead or alive before actually opening the black box to check.

Because quantum random processes cannot be simulated and cannot be predicted.
