Deep Sea Embers.

Chapter 690 The ignored “connection”?
In Qingfeng Port, the faint "sunlight" spreads from the sea, covering the entire city-state under the "night cover". The information carried in the light flows silently throughout the entire sea area. However, there is only one person who can understand this information. I.

To be honest, even Duncan found this a bit bizarre.

So in the world in the eyes of this doll...how many ways are it different from ordinary people's perceptions?Is the sky in her eyes blue?Are the leaves green in her eyes?What is the outline of human beings in her eyes, and what kind of waves are there in the sea?
And even if she described what she saw—were the colors, sounds, and shapes she described really what ordinary people would recognize?

This seems to be a mystery that will always cycle with contradictions and can never be solved.

Alice turned her head, her beautiful big eyes reflected the glow of the gas lamp. She looked at Duncan with some confusion and worry. After a long time, she whispered: "Captain, those things I saw are really... It’s useful, right?”

The chaotic thoughts gradually converged, and Duncan did not let those messy associations continue. He suddenly recognized some of what Alice had said - some annoying questions that were destined to have no answers, so just don't think about them.

So he smiled and his expression gradually relaxed: "Of course it works - besides this information, what else did you see? I mean after the sun went out, what else did you 'see' that was different from usual?" "

Alice quickly understood what Duncan meant. She frowned slightly, recalled it carefully, then turned to look around. After a while, she spoke uncertainly: "If I have to say it, I just always feel something." The buzzing sound…”

Duncan frowned: "Buzzing?"

"Well, buzzing, a very light sound, and I can't tell if it's a real 'sound'. I just feel that there is such a sound, it keeps ringing in my head, but if you don't pay attention carefully, you will ignore it. ," Alice explained with gestures and pointed out the window, "The voice will be stronger when you see those 'sunshine'..."

Duncan nodded slightly, and asked after a moment: "Did you hear this buzzing sound when the sun went out last time? Have you seen the 'information' about the 'Observer Effect Anchor'?"

"No," Alice held her head and shook her head, "I only saw and heard it when I arrived at Qingfeng Port this time..."

Listening to the doll's narration, Duncan couldn't help but think -

According to Lucretia, just now, another set of observation equipment in Qingfeng Harbor received a weak signal from the extinguished sun. Its characteristics were exactly the same as the signal released by the "luminous geometry". That is to say, during the extinguishing period, the body of Anomaly 001 has actually been "broadcasting" the "Observer Effect Anchor Failure" report. However, Alice said that she did not "see" these contents during the last time the sun went out. , but only after arriving at Qingfeng Port did he read the damage report information from the "sunshine" here... Why is this?
Is it because the failure when the sun went out last time was not that serious, so the body of Vision 001 did not report the failure?If this is the explanation, the situation would be worse than anyone expected, because it would mean that the entire system has deteriorated even further - rapidly in such a short period of time.

The living room fell into silence. Lucretia, Morris and others gathered around. They listened to the exchange between Duncan and Alice, and looked at the change of expression on Duncan's face with some concern. After a while, Nina couldn't help but say: "Uncle Duncan, do you know what the 'observer effect anchor' means?"

Duncan opened his mouth, but suddenly got stuck.

In this world, it is already extremely difficult to explain the concepts of the planet and the universe to people. How should he explain the more abstract "observer effect"?How to explain the incredible phenomena between the macro and micro worlds?

And more importantly - can the observer theory that I know really be put here?
He raised his head with a subtle expression and looked at the world outside the window.

"I can probably guess some, but this deviates greatly from the 'observer theory' in my understanding. It should happen in the microscopic world, not..."

He paused hesitantly.

If the other name of Vision 001 is really "Observer Effect Anchor", then does this already explain the real mechanism of this ancient vision to "suppress pollution" and "stabilize order"?

Unknowingly, he thought of the truth of the Great Annihilation, the conflicts at the bottom of everything in the world, and the various extraordinary phenomena worldwide caused by cognitive pollution - if the microscopic world is the "cornerstone of order" in every universe "So when these cornerstones collide and annihilate each other, mixing into a pot of extremely chaotic and complex "information soup"... will the observer effect really be limited to the microscopic world?
At the moment when the mathematical laws of each universe are torn apart, at the moment when the material structure of all things is completely annihilated and reduced to basic information elements, perhaps the concepts of "micro" and "macro" have long since disappeared. !
In the sudden turbulence of his thoughts like a storm, Duncan murmured to himself unconsciously: "...the specific manifestation of information pollution and law conflict at the bottom of all things...is it actually the out-of-control observer effect in the macroscopic world?"

Morris and Lucretia looked at each other, then turned their heads at the same time after a few seconds: "...Huh?"

"...I will find a way to explain to you later what the observer effect is and some of my conjectures about it, but it will take a lot of time and energy," Duncan waved his hand quickly, "Now I want to understand it even more. Another problem."

Lucretia immediately spoke: "Another question?!"

Duncan nodded and looked at the Gothic doll standing next to him, looking harmless (mainly because he was unresponsive). "Have you ever wondered why Alice can see and understand these 'signals'?"

"Yeah, right!" Shirley on the side reacted instantly (mainly this was the only question she could understand so far), "If she can 'see' it, let's not talk about it. After all, only she can see those 'lines' Yeah - but how did she understand it? There are so many experts and scholars in the city-state who have lost all their hair and no one understands this thing!"

Vanna keenly noticed the serious and thoughtful expression on Duncan's face when he asked this question: "Do you already have the answer?"

Duncan nodded slowly when he heard this. After a moment of thinking and organizing his words, he mentioned the content recorded in the "Book of Blasphemy":
"You should still remember that according to the records in that book, after the two failed creations, it was the 'Creep King' who successfully completed the creation during the third long night and opened the Deep Sea Age."

Fanna nodded immediately: "Well, of course we remember this."

"The 'construction' of Vision 001 was also in the same era," Duncan continued with a serious expression. "The Creeper King asked the Cretan clan to be his assistants, and worked with them to design and build the 'Sun', and The Creeping King is what we know as the 'Secret Holy Lord' - then do you still remember how Alice was born?"

"Oh, I know this!" Shirley suddenly understood, "The clone of Holy Lord Netherworld was made by hand at the bottom of the sea!"

Everyone reacted.

Their eyes all fell on Alice.

Alice listened blankly to everyone's discussion, and only now could she vaguely follow everyone's thoughts. After confirming that she had not messed up anything, she didn't know what she was thinking, and her face showed pride. Looking happy again.

"...We have always known that Alice is actually a 'deep creature' in a certain sense, but many times, we only noticed the connection between her and the Frost Queen Leigh Nora, but ignored her and the Deep Saint. The connection with the Lord is the key point." Duncan looked at the puppet who was proud for some reason with a subtle expression, and then thought of the scene where he accidentally established contact with the Lord of the Deep in the mansion garden, "Now it seems that this The connection may be more important than we thought, at least one thing is certain now, she can understand the 'system language' used by Holy Lord Yousu in that 'blueprint of creation'..."

Nina thought for a while: "Just like the punch analyzer can read the paper tape output by the difference engine?"

"...It's okay to understand it that way."

Alice looked at Duncan and then at the other people around her, as if she wanted to ask some questions, but suddenly she frowned again, as if she heard or saw something - after a moment she suddenly said: "The system has restarted."

Duncan looked up instantly, and almost at the same time as Alice's words fell, a low and illusory roar suddenly entered everyone's mind.

Along with this low roar that seemed to fill the whole world in an instant, Duncan noticed a ray of light appearing in the sky outside the window——

The sun, which had hitherto sunk to near the level of the sea, where it had been extinguished and stagnant, was rekindled.

Shirley was the first to run to the window, looking up at the scene on the street outside. She saw the glow crossing the roof of the building, and a group of knowledge guards on guard at the intersection were looking up at the sky in surprise.

Residents hiding in their homes nearby reacted and opened their windows to look at the situation outside.

Shirley waved happily in front of the window, greeting a neighbor who appeared in front of another window not far away, but she received no response - everyone's attention was focused on the sky where the glow had just returned. .

Then, faint cheers came from somewhere, and after a while, the sound of a loudspeaker came from the street intersection - the broadcast mentioned the news that the sun was back on, and reminded residents not to rush rashly for the time being. After leaving home, night will soon fall, and the martial law will continue tonight until the sun rises as usual the next day.

Duncan listened to the faint broadcast coming from outside the window, watched the glow fade from the sky little by little, and exhaled softly.

The sun still rises... Now, even this has become an uncertain thing.
