32 days

Luo Caiyun flipped through the report page by page, her expression gradually becoming serious, and when she closed the document, she was silent for a long time.

After a while, she said: "Although the report clearly lists all kinds of evidence, I still want to ask, is there no possibility of misjudgment?"

Professor Li shook his head: "Actually, last month we worked out the growth model of entropy difference radiation, and estimated the radiation dose on the 32nd day. The test results and our estimated data are within the normal error value We have also exchanged opinions with some colleagues abroad, and they are basically aware of the existence of entropy difference radiation."

"Is there a way to save it?"

Professor Li said bitterly: "I can't think of any way, maybe there is, such as making the 32nd disappear completely, there will be no two unequal entropies, and naturally there will be no entropy difference radiation, but this is obviously not something we can do. More The important thing is that there is not much time left for us, even if there is a way, it will be difficult for us to find it within four or five months, even if this crisis can make all mankind unite to survive."

Luo Caiyun nodded in ecstasy: "This means that human beings are about to become extinct, and no one survives?"

Saying this sentence, she herself felt a little ridiculous.She has thought that many crises will hit human beings hard, climate warming, ozone hole, extraterrestrial meteorites, and the possible third world war will reduce a large number of people, nuclear radiation will make the earth like purgatory, but in any case, there will still be The survivors are struggling to survive and rebuild civilization on the wasteland.But unexpectedly, the real extinction of human beings, together with the extinction of all life on earth, came so quickly and decisively.So much so that Luo Caiyun still seems to be floating, not landing on the ground. She thinks of a more terrifying place. If the entanglement of the two universes is long enough, then the entire universe will be filled with entropy difference radiation, and any life will die. due to radiation, until it took a long time to evolve a new life that can get used to this radiation.

"almost."

Luo Caiyun landed violently: "What does almost mean?"

Professor Li said: "Ever since I learned about the entropy difference radiation, I have paid special attention to people on the 32nd day. I want to know whether there will be similar phenomena between their bodies on the 32nd day and their real bodies. The medical biology team that A large number of detailed inspections were carried out on their bodies. The data showed that the entropy difference radiation did not attenuate after passing through their bodies, which means that the radiation did not generate any energy consumption inside their bodies, and they were intact and without collisions. through their bodies. I think this is because the soul, as a kind of closed string, connects the bodies of their two worlds together, producing a wonderful vibration. In this case, they can be said to be physical The state of neither existence nor existence in academic legends.

"Humans are made up of particles. Particles are open strings, and they are vibrating all the time. The simultaneous vibration of the open string and the closed string, and the interference of the superposition and stability of the two universes, produce a physical mechanism that can guide the entropy Differential radiation passes through the gaps of their body particles, and will not harm the actual particles. It is probably like the sun and other massive objects that can use gravity to distort light. They distort the radiation, but modern machines can detect it A little distortion that doesn't come out, but enough to avoid the vital point. For us, the entropy difference radiation whips our DNA relentlessly from all directions."

Luo Caiyun asked: "Can the person on the 32nd survive?"

"It should be. But it's limited to their generation. The offspring they reproduce, without the influence of 32 days, can't resist the entropy difference radiation."

"Can't we find a way to survive the 32nd?"

"How is it possible?" Professor Li spread out his hands in despair, and said in despair, "What a delicate job that is, adjusting the vibration of all the particles in the human body is tantamount to dismantling the human body into particles and reproducing them in science fiction works." Transfer to a distant place for reorganization. God can't do it either. Only the universe, a weak parallel universe, has the ability to bless his disciples who follow him."

An urgent international conference was hastily held. There were only a dozen countries participating in the conference, and they all had the ability to discover the existence of entropy difference radiation.

Compared with last month's high-spirited pointing out the country and looking forward to the future, the top leaders of more than a dozen countries participating in the meeting this time were all pale and worried. The huge gap seemed to be the universe's mockery of human overreach.There are no shortcuts, and happiness requires at least as much hardship as it takes.

"I think you all know it." The president of country A had a hoarse voice, rubbing the center of his brows tiredly, his eyes drooping, and he didn't look at everyone.At this time, he also didn't care about social etiquette.

The leader of Huaguo said: "It seems that our scientists have all reached the same conclusion, and there is no fallacy."

The leader of country F put his hands on his forehead and said weakly: "I still find it hard to believe that this is not an April Fool's Day joke, it really looks like a fucking bad joke."

"Then you just wait. In a few months, countless human bodies will be mangled with radiation, and you will have to believe it."

"Is there really nothing we can do? Do we want to watch human civilization completely cut off? The whole earth has become a lifeless place?" When the man spoke, he looked at the countries with top technology, hoping to start from They saw room for maneuver in their eyes, but the facts only let him down.

The president of country A said: "I immediately summoned the most prestigious physicists in our country to find a solution, and several of their suggestions were overturned in the end. At present, we can't even find a solution. Wear Protective clothing doesn’t work, that kind of entropy difference radiation appears out of thin air, it doesn’t hit your body from the outside, but it’s inside your body when you’re born. So we can’t physically isolate the radiation at all.”

"How about leaving the earth and escaping into space? Space is almost vast, so the difference in entropy shouldn't be very large, right?"

The leader of Huaguo said: "It has a certain effect, but at most it can only delay the death period for a few months. The large and small entropy changes in the universe are also drastic. What's more, no matter where you go, you carry different entropy to the past. , and the entropy difference on the 32nd will inevitably form, even if the radiation is not strong, it is not difficult to kill people. Moreover, our current technical means cannot support long-term space travel."

"Does this mean that even if we stop all production activities, try to maintain a small change in entropy and reduce the entropy difference, it will not work?"

"Of course, the two worlds have different flow rates and different populations, so it is doomed that it is difficult to coordinate the entropy at a similar level. If our technology is sufficiently developed, we may be able to do it someday in the future, but it is definitely not now."

"Damn old man!" The president of country E slapped the table bitterly. He had a great respect for Rayleigh Ron last month. "Why does he want to study weak parallel universes? Why did he do it without knowing the consequences?" Unauthorized actions to tie the 32nd with us? Has he never thought about the problem of entropy when he is so powerful? Now it's all right, human beings are over, all over!"

The president of country A said: "This is the root of the problem. Many weak parallel universes were created when we didn't know it, but there was never entropy difference radiation. It's just that this special weak parallel universe on the 32nd is too close to our universe , It can even be said that the entropy gap will be caused by the integration without complete division. If we can completely separate the 32nd from our world and make them parallel, there should be no entropy difference radiation.”

"I remember when the theory of weak parallel universes was first discovered, everyone speculated that the souls of the 32 [-]nd people would tie the two worlds together. If we can eliminate those [-] souls..."

The leader of Huaguo frowned: "This is simply not realistic."

"Why is it unrealistic? This may be our last way of survival! Are we going to sacrifice the remaining 70 billion people for the sake of these [-] people?"

It is rare for the president of country A to stand on the same front as the leader of Hua country: "This is not a trolley problem that tests how to choose. It is indeed impossible. We cannot find all the 32nd people. But if there is one omission, it is impossible to cut off the two worlds." contact."

Everyone fell silent. At this moment, most people had extremely cruel and realistic thoughts in their hearts, but if there was a way, they would mercilessly kill all those 10 people.This is not to disregard human life, but before the continuation of 70 billion human beings and countless lives, 10 people are too small.

But at this moment, what is really insignificant is themselves, the helpless 70 billion human beings. As an absolute minority, the 32nd people are sheltered by the universe that belongs to them alone. The 32nd is like an old hen protecting its shorts, tightly protecting its children under its wings, and then indifferently watching the violent wind and rain attacking many innocent lives.

This desperate recognition made the leader of country G stand up viciously, glanced at the faces of everyone present, and said through gritted teeth: "I know that one of you secretly released the news that he is a member of the 32nd, I I guessed before that it was fake news, it was a bait, the top leader of a country is used as a bait, who is not tempted? Maybe it is to lure the agents of other countries to fall into the trap you set when they go to investigate, and then you can easily control them , instigating them... Hahahaha, I don’t care if it’s true news or fake news now, I just want to tell you that I can’t live, and you can’t live either! When my radiation symptoms appear, I will let all the missiles in the country be destroyed. Bomb your country, who cares if you are the 32nd, die together, no one can escape!"

His face was flushed, he was extremely angry and frightened, and he yelled frantically, knocked on the table, and smashed things. How could he have the wisdom and composure of a president of a country.But other people feel sympathetic, and they don't find it funny, they just feel more sad.

The president of country D suddenly said: "The quantum dam transfer plan will continue."

The leader of country G shouted: "Does this make sense?"

"Of course there is." The president of country D looked directly at him, "but our current goal is no longer to transport resources, but to find a way to allow us to enter the 32nd. As long as we can enter, the entropy difference radiation will It won’t hurt us, as long as more people can enter, then we will at least have enough teams to use their lifetimes to research more advanced technologies, so that we can finally completely get rid of 32 days and entropy difference radiation, so that human beings can continue Propagate."

"But we only have four or five months left, is it too late?"

"I have to do it before it's too late!" The eyes of the president of country D suddenly turned red, and his face was ferocious, "Why don't we sit and wait to die, crying and screaming? We must seize any chance of survival! Think about it , Such a splendid human civilization suddenly fell into a great silence in just a few days, and there is no possibility of recovery, and even the entire universe will die, how sad! What is important is that my son, my daughter, my Wife...I am not afraid of death, but I want them to live well."

His last words were almost cried out, which made many high-ranking figures think of their most inseparable personal emotions. In the final analysis, human civilization is just an intangible concept, but family and beloved ones are The real reality is the most painful existence when the end of the world comes.

Some people think: "Isn't it easier to connect with another new weak parallel universe than forcing us to enter the already formed 32nd?"

"But the connection to the new weak parallel universe does not necessarily allow us to avoid the entropy difference radiation of the 32nd."

"Well, it seems that God has not left us an easy way to go."

The president of country C raised his hand: "I was inspired by President G's words just now. He said that he is not afraid of death, but wants those he loves to live well."

"Who isn't?"

"Yes, who isn't." The president of country C raised his voice involuntarily, "We are the same, and so are the people on the 32nd. If the people on the 32nd know the price of their own survival, it will not only be the extinction of human beings, but also the extinction of their loved ones." What about the horrific death of a loved one?"

"what do you mean?"

"If we can't take the initiative to eliminate the 32nd, we might as well try and encourage them to commit suicide."

"This is ridiculous, so lucky to live..."

"For most people with relatives and friends, living alone is not luck, but a kind of pain. This means that he has to watch the people he loves die one by one, and he has no choice but to the extreme Yes, and think that we killed them. What we have to do is not wait for them to realize it slowly, but let them recognize this fact in advance, and then make... the best choice before the tragedy happens. "

Someone's eyes lit up: "That's right! I was thinking about discussing the temporary secrecy of the entropy difference radiation. But now I think we should discuss the cause of the entropy difference radiation and the most possible solution, that is, one hundred thousand The death of each 32nd person spread as quickly as possible, implying that the 32nd person took the initiative to make sacrifices."

"In fact, it is impossible for us to keep this secret. Anyone who has handled the relevant documents will be shocked. When they think that they will die, their family members will die, and the country will perish, they will realize that there is no point in keeping it secret. Who can be as usual, who can not be defeated by family members who say what's wrong with you? Secrecy will not have the slightest good effect, and it will not make death come more slowly. It is better to seize the last time and spend time with your family. Admit it, our government's binding power won't work until the end of the world."

Some people still have no hope: "10 people is a small number compared to 70 billion people, but it is actually a quite large base. In such a collection, there are all kinds of people. I don't deny that most of the 32 people are There are people who love, but as before, if there is a cold-blooded person who would rather the whole world die than live himself. Then what we are doing is useless.”

"This is very possible, so we need to stir up public opinion, add fuel to the flames, and let everyone know that there must be cold-blooded people, and there may not be a few. I believe that many of them have sentimental and righteous actions on the 32nd. Willing to sacrifice himself, and in order to ensure that the one he loves can live, he will actively search for survivors on the 32nd, and then strangle them. Finding all the 32nd on the 32nd is easier than finding a needle in a haystack in reality.”

"Anti-social people are more likely to be extremely cold-blooded. But we haven't been idle for half a year, have we? We have collected a lot of information on 32nd people who are threatening, and most of them have anti-social tendencies. I think everyone records them in Let’s make a case, these people can be handled by us.”

"We must mobilize the power of the masses, implying that the existence of 32 people is the root of the disaster. I think that many 32 people didn't understand the situation when they first entered the 32nd day, and they must have mentioned it to the people around them. Once the world When the news of the doomsday breaks out, everyone will consciously search for the 32nd people around them, and then... what will happen, everyone should be able to imagine, even relatives may turn against each other, 70 billion human beings who do not want to die will help us maximize destroy the 32nd.”

"It's best to spread it layer by layer and push it step by step. Let's not say that people on the 32nd can survive, just exaggerate the extinction of human beings, let the atmosphere of despair brew for a while, wait until everyone is crazy, and then throw out that the people on the 32nd can actually survive." Surviving the disaster and their death can avoid the news of the end of the world. Think about it, it is like dropping a drop of water into the boiling oil. People's anger, jealousy, unwillingness and the sudden emergence of a little hope will create a huge storm. Let the 32nd have nowhere to hide."

"We can also promote that even if the 32nd survived the radiation, they still cannot reproduce. Even because everyone else died of radiation, all that is left is a bloody and slowly rotting corpse, no one is normal People can bear this kind of human tragedy, and there may be some terrible germs and plagues. Even if the 32-day person survives, it is impossible to live a peaceful life. We need to let the 32-day person know that their short survival is meaningless big."

"It's not that I'm disappointed... If there is a 32-day person living in an inaccessible place, such as a tribe in a tropical rainforest, he and his family don't even know the existence of the 32-day."

"It's unlikely, but it's not impossible. Just in case, we can tell this speculation to those who are willing to save their lover and the world on the 32nd, and let them find a way to bomb these places that may have human activities during the 32nd." Hidden area."

"We can also set up the last insurance method, such as sending some human seeds to space to hide, and delay the time of being fatally radiated as much as possible. If the 32nd people do not die, then the earth will be in purgatory five months later, and they can Back on Earth, it will be easier to find living 32nd people and kill them, so that human beings can at least continue to reproduce. It’s not that I disregard the lives of 32nd people in cold blood, but since I’m doomed to die, I want to find a way to leave some life behind Continuation may be the best choice."

"In short, while continuing the research on the quantum dam, encouraging the 32nd to commit suicide and kill each other, while transferring human seeds to space. These are the only things we can do, and the rest, let fate, God bless us."

In the shadow of the end of the world, people are tender and cruel, painful and decisive, timid and fearless. They are willing to pay any price to grab any possible life-saving straw, and they will magnify the most selfless love and the most selfish evil of mankind. Ultimate, just to survive.
