How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

【Decoherence】?

When a parallel world completely collapses, let us return to the original cabin.

Su Ming looked at the three words Hu Hai wrote on the table, and his head kept buzzing.

It turns out that everything we experience is decoherence?

Are they all constantly undergoing collapse and superposition in the quantum world?

And what is decoherence?

Here we need to first explain what coherence, or coherent state, is.

This is a term specific to physics.

It refers to the coherence of electron entanglement with the same vibration frequency and constant phase difference in the microscopic world.

To put it more simply, it is the superposition state of the wave, its own wave and side waves.

Like the cat that is both alive and dead, this superposition of states can be called coherence.

Only after understanding coherence can we understand decoherence.

The so-called decoherence is a physical description of the phenomenon that after the microscopic world is magnified into the macroscopic world, it tends to be consistent after interacting with the external environment.

Because existing science cannot observe this macroscopic phenomenon, it is called decoherence.

Let me put it simply.

Decoherence is the process of separating all superposition and entangled matter into two worlds.

It’s like two good friends who could talk about anything in school, but they haven’t seen each other for many years due to graduation. When they meet again, they can’t get along with each other. Although they can still chat, they always feel a gap in their hearts. This is called decoherence phenomenon.

It is also like tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of professional soldiers who, when serving, can obey orders, live together, and even wear military uniforms, just like people cast from the same mold.

But after retiring for several years or even decades and becoming ordinary citizens, when they meet again they feel like strangers and have nothing in common with each other. This is also called decoherence phenomenon.

Matter and matter do not have the same properties, are no longer entangled together, have distinct forms, and each has its own world.

Is it...

Is everything we see constantly decohering?

Before Su Ming could ask any questions, Hu Hai continued.

"That's right! We have been in the process of decoherence since this challenge."

"It's just that it has been infinitely magnified to the point where we can observe it."

"Ever since we caught this cat, we have been under constant observation by it!"

"Continuously collapsing, continuously stacking, and continuously entangled..."

"And because of the particularity of Lop Nur or this challenge, we have collapsed into countless parallel worlds during the process of being constantly observed, and countless identical us have appeared, and all of us can be observed by ourselves."

"Every word we say, every choice we make, every action we take can evolve into a new parallel world."

"It's like one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things."

"Countless of us are interacting and overlapping with each other while carrying out spontaneous decoherence activities."

"They did not disappear quickly, but quickly overlapped in this world..."

Rumble, rumble!

Following Hu Hai’s statement, let’s not mention others for now.

Su Mingquan understood!

He finally understood why Huang Feifeng became a completely different person when he left the scrap rescue station and returned.

He didn't even remember to go out and find a first aid kit to save Chen Ziqi. He even forgot that he was not himself.

Su Ming finally understood.

Why did Zhang Lianhai and Wang Luxiang’s headlights change.

In another parallel world, they undoubtedly made a choice when taking the headlamp, and that choice caused them to overlap with this parallel world.

Su Ming finally understood.

Why are there nine people gathered in this room again, as if nothing had happened!

Countless parallel worlds quietly emerge with every conversation we have, every collision of thoughts, and every choice we make.

These parallel worlds experience decoherence reactions one after another, but they are magnified into the macroscopic world so that all of us can see them clearly!

Everyone’s contradictions and conflicts are infinitely magnified, even to the point of murder.

And killing someone is also a process of decoherence.

After all, no one can accept another self depriving himself of everything.

"Can……"

When Su Ming tried to understand the core of this challenge, he felt a sense of despair.

why?

Because Hu Hai said that at the beginning of the challenge.

Everyone is going to die, and our chances of surviving this challenge are infinitely close to zero.

What does this mean?

In other words, we have to face countless enemies, and these enemies happen to be ourselves.

In the process of spontaneous decoherence, we are angry, impulsive, crazy...

Destroy everything!

Then the problem is coming!

After the other me killed myself.

Am I still me?

Am I dead or not?

When the survival rate is infinitely equal to 0, does it also mean that the survival rate is infinitely equal to 100%?

But can the collapse of the quantum world be compared with the replacement of ourselves?

Su Ming was desperate and frightened.

Because if he thought about it carefully, he couldn't accept the fact that another self replaced himself.

Does he love me? Will he love my parents and relatives? Will he love life as much as I do?

Su Ming even raised his eyes and looked at the people around him.

Wang Luxiang, Zhang Lianhai, Song Xiaoxuan, Song Xiaocheng, even Huang Feifeng, his eyes were full of strangeness and rejection.

"Ming'er! What on earth is Hu Hai talking about?"

Wang Luxiang asked in a deep voice, not knowing from which world he appeared.

"Yeah! It makes my head hurt just hearing that! Oh, when can we have dinner? I'm so hungry."

Song Xiaocheng held her stomach with her hands, looking annoyed.

"When did the blood on the ground appear? What happened? Did the poachers come back?"

Huang Feifeng remained alert.

Song Xiaoxuan and Chen Ziqi still looked terrified.

Only Zhang Lianhai seemed to be lost in thought, with panic in his eyes.

It seems that he is not from this world.

Su Ming had no time to deal with these people's questions and confusion, but continued to stare at Hu Hai.

"Hu Hai, I just don't believe that after you know all this, you have no way to deal with it?"

"Don't you think that the wave function will collapse? Aren't you afraid that someone from another parallel world will appear..."

Su Ming asked persistently: "Replaced you?"

"I?"

Hu Hai laughed.

There is a maturity on his young face that is completely inconsistent with his age.

"Of course I'm not afraid."

Hu Hai said this and looked at everyone.

"Who has a gun? Don't tell me you don't have one. Everyone who enters this challenge will carry an item. Who has a gun? Let me use it!"

kindness?

Everyone looked at each other; they felt Hu Hai's request was abrupt.

After a moment's silence, Chen Ziqi came out, took out a pistol from his pocket and silently placed it on the table.

Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that this girl was hiding a gun?

But she didn't bring it up on her own initiative. Could it be that she had other thoughts in mind?

Hu Hai had already picked up the pistol on the table and loaded it skillfully with the bolt.

After all, he had already received basic military training in the atomic bomb research base in the Block 6 challenge.

He held the gun and looked at Su Ming.

"Haha, just watch! Why am I not afraid..."

As he spoke, Hu Hai did something that shocked everyone.

He pointed the gun at his jaw and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Kang!

The whole place was in chaos.
