Great Power Technology

The imperial capital, a secret sanatorium.

Lin Ling has been in this nursing home for more than a week, but she still has not been able to adapt to life here.

She has no acquaintances, no contact with the outside world, monotonous activities, and no ability to continue her research on high-energy physics. It can be said that she has almost said goodbye to her past life completely.

She didn't know what the meaning of this farewell was, nor what kind of information the authorities wanted to get from her. In the past week, her most important thing was to answer questions.

Keep answering questions.

The main research direction at work, thoughts on research content and what you want to do in the future, your views on LHC’s CEPC, your understanding of physics, when did you decide to embark on the path of physics, and the past Have you ever encountered anything out of the ordinary in your life? Have you ever done anything on their list?

The most important thing is, what exactly did I talk to Ye Zhou about that night.

Lin Ling didn't hide anything about these questions, because she didn't know she had anything to hide, but after answering them for a while, she suddenly felt the meaninglessness of this series of questions.

Yes, it's meaningless.

What he is now facing is an extracognitive event in the quantum realm, and official investigators are obviously still trying to find the answer using traditional methods.

How is it possible to get the answer this way?

What we should really do is to fully expose ourselves to areas that humans still don’t understand, to get in touch with quantum, to get in touch with LHC, to get in touch with string theory, and to explore a deeper and broader future.

This may not bring the answer, but at least it is many times more reliable than interrogating a spy.

However, what she didn't know was that this kind of interrogation was not really intended to get answers from her, but was just a way to eliminate all irrelevant disturbing factors.

In fact, behind this sanatorium, a virtual organizational team composed of domestic high-energy physics and quantum-related scholars has been set up. They are monitoring the disturbances of quantum computers every day, and have also begun to build new quantum computers. , hoping to reproduce the situation at that time.

Just like human exploration of delayed erasure experiments, "reappearance" is always the first step towards the truth.

However, such efforts have indeed not made very good progress - in the time dimension, a week is like a wave splashing in the sea, not enough to make any waves at all.

Therefore, in the second week of questioning Lin Ling, she was told that she could leave the nursing home and move around freely, but she was not allowed to work for the time being - especially not in the Institute of High Energy Physics.

"Then where should I go?"

Before leaving, Lin Ling asked.

"Just keep in touch and don't leave the country. You can regard this as a vacation. I heard from your leader that you haven't taken a vacation for a long time. Take this opportunity to take a good rest."

This answer made Lin Ling a little confused.

If you can't go back to work or touch things you are familiar with, how can you get the answer?

She seemed to be trapped in a vortex, or in other words, a black hole.

In this black hole, countless information surrounded her, but she could not read any of the information.

"Can I see that number one again?"

"When necessary, we will arrange for you to meet. But there is currently not enough evidence to show that you are indeed related. Our current research is still strictly limited to the exploration of 'phenomenon', so please wait patiently. Bar."

"Of course, we have informed him of the progress of the investigation against you. If he deems it necessary, he will contact you through us."

After hearing this, Lin Ling had no choice but to agree.

In fact, I don't have much choice - even if I am involved in such an incident, in the final analysis, I am just a small role.

However, just before she was about to leave the nursing home, she was suddenly stopped.

She followed the staff back to the room she had just left, and received a piece of news that left her completely bewildered.

There was another disturbance on Liubijing No. 003, and this time, the message conveyed by the disturbance was:

"xiatashahe".

Xiata is Ye Zhou's current location, and Shahe is the name of this sanatorium.

At this point, no one can doubt the connection between the disturbance of the quantum computer and Ye Zhou and Lin Ling, but no one knows what this connection means and what kind of information it is trying to convey to the world.

The information was immediately urgently passed to Ye Zhou, who gave a simple instruction:

"Surveillance continues, get her to come to Shatta."

A few hours later, Ye Zhou met Lin Ling in Xiata, who had arrived after a long journey. He himself did not know the purpose of letting her come, but he had an instinctive feeling that if he wanted to completely solve the mystery of this matter, You have to have a good chat with her face to face.

The temperature in Xiata was much lower than that in the Imperial City. After landing, she was still wearing a temporary coat found on the plane. She looked bloated and funny, but the messy hair on her forehead and the anxious look on her face Ye Zhou really couldn't bring himself to joke with her.

After saying hello to his family, Ye Zhou took Lin Ling and walked towards the trail where he had been hiking with Wu Ping following him. After putting a short distance away from Wu Ping, Ye Zhou said:

"Have you had a bad week? What did they ask you?"

Lin Ling was stunned for a moment when he heard Ye Zhou's question and didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

She originally thought that this "Number One" would eagerly ask her about the latest disturbance.

After a pause, she replied:

"It's really not good. It's mainly anxiety. I don't know what happened and I don't know how to solve the problem. This situation has never happened before."

"Furthermore, I think there are problems with the direction of our current research. We should try to create conditions ourselves to cause disturbances to quantum computers, and study the difference between this disturbance and the disturbances we have received before, instead of simply monitoring and monitoring energy. What was detected?"

Ye Zhou smiled and replied:

"At least we have now received the second disturbance message. This message actually points out the relationship between the 'No. 1 Incident' and the two of us. This gives us at least one possible direction for our subsequent research."

"Actually, you don't need to feel so anxious. Monitoring you will become a routine matter, but I can guarantee that such routine matters will definitely not affect your life."

"You should be able to resume work soon. At that time, you can try to find the answers to this series of mysteries in the world of high-energy physics."

Lin Ling nodded slightly and said helplessly:

"But I no longer know how to restart my research. Now I feel like I have seen a ghost - does quantum ghost really exist? In what form does it exist? What is the purpose of contacting us? So far, all the information it has transmitted is irrelevant. If it is really a life form from a higher dimension, why not directly transmit the grand unified theory back?"

Ye Zhou gave her a funny look, shook his head and said:

"First of all, based on the current facts, the time for each disturbance to occur is limited, and the intensity of the disturbance is also fixed. This may very well imply that even if there really is a high-dimensional life form that we think of, it wants to It’s not easy to connect with us.”

"Secondly, we still have no way to rule out the 'randomness' of these two disturbances. A very simple guess: What if this is another manifestation of the delayed erasure experiment?"

"If in the future, we master the technology to stably interfere with the quantum computing process, and then we apply this interference on Liubijing 003, causing the interference to be transmitted to Liubijing 003 in all time dimensions On board."

"So, we who are still in the 'past' have intercepted this interference. Now, do you think the whole logic is smoother again?"

Lin Ling was stunned for a moment and nodded solemnly.

"This is probably the most likely explanation I have heard so far. You are the leader of the quantum computing project, and you have full authority to choose the method of interference, so it is normal to transmit information related to you. At least it is better than the quantum ghost. Be more reliable. Are you sure?"

"Of course I can't. If I could, the information passed should not be these two inexplicable words, but should be something like '2030yezhou' that can directly anchor the time point of the disturbance."

"Maybe that will be the next one."

"No, I have a feeling the next message won't come again for a long time."

"No matter who is the sender of the message, its purpose is to make me pay attention to you, and I need to discover your importance myself."

"follow me?"

Lin Ling looked at Ye Zhou doubtfully. She thought from beginning to end that at least in this incident, she and "No. 1" were on an equal footing.

In other words, she and he are both "chosen" people and need to find their true positions.

But now, judging from the other party's words, it seems that only I am the chosen one.

And the other party only serves as a basis to help him accomplish certain things.

But this is not common sense.

If that's the case, shouldn't the message be the name of a top decision-maker?

Only in that way can you get the most resource support

Thinking of this, Lin Ling suddenly froze on the spot.

Looking at the face of the man across from her, she suddenly realized that the resources this man could mobilize might be much more than she had imagined.
