32 days

In the beginning, it was not difficult for Yi Alan to keep silent.His daily itinerary was to be taken from the confinement room to the interrogation room, and after a long period of hearing, he was escorted back to the confinement room. Although the three meals a day were not as rich and delicious as the cafeteria, they could at least be swallowed.

But after refusing to cooperate for a period of time, Yi Alan gradually felt the pressure from above, for example, meals were no longer on time. I feel that not long after I finished eating, the next meal will come again, which makes Yi Alan's time perception of the outside world disordered.Then, every time he fell asleep, the sound hole in the ceiling of the confinement room would suddenly play a terrible noise, which completely disrupted his sleep.

Within a few days, Yi Alan lost weight visibly to the naked eye, and her spirit was even more sluggish. I don't know what time it is, whether it is morning, afternoon or evening, and I always don't get enough sleep. Thinking.

At this time, Yi Alan finally understood the meaning of Yan Fei telling him to keep silent, instead of making other excuses to cover up.Under such circumstances, Yi Alan couldn't tell a lie at all, no matter how perfect the lie was, it would show flaws in his gradually dull thinking, and slowly collapse before repeated and varied interrogations.

Today, Chen Ruming sat in front of Yi Alan across the interrogation table.Finally, she didn't have to face the same things that she had to face every day in the past. This small change made Yi Alan feel a novel joy.This kind of emotion that can't even be regarded as having fun in bitterness seems to be distorted, which is not right, Yi Alan reminded herself in her heart to stay awake.

Chen Ruming looked at Yi Alan inch by inch, and Yi Alan was almost burned by his glare-like eyes.

"Why do you think I want Zhou Yan'an to learn computer knowledge?" Chen Ruming asked.

Yi Alan didn't speak, and Chen Ruming replied instead of him: "Do you think I'm guarding against you? Don't worry about you? Huh?"

Chen Ruming raised his voice, and his deep disappointment was hidden under his furious appearance: "I'm using the trust of the upper management in Zhou Yan'an to endorse you! The higher ups, especially the chief of the general staff of the military department, trust Zhou Yan'an very much. Yes, Zhou Yan’an paid for it through several life-and-death efforts during his military service. And you, a good citizen who abides by the law, shouldn’t ask more from you, but so many state secrets have to be entrusted to You are in your hands, so you have to put higher demands on you. They hope that I can give some tangible evidence—rather than some subjective feelings, to prove that you can be trusted. So I asked Zhou Yanan to understand The knowledge of computers is put in your file as an auxiliary means of proof. I hope that when they still trust Zhou Yanan, they will trust you a little more, who has always been in Zhou Yanan's sight, instead of suspecting you when there is any trouble. It wasn't from you that the loophole appeared, especially after you did something so crazy and even outrageous to escape from the ground with a missile explosion. But I didn't expect..."

Chen Ruming leaned on the back of the chair discouraged: "I didn't expect Zhou Yan'an to learn a little bit of computer-related content, and immediately discovered the things you did. This makes me wonder if you have been secretly sending out information. Could it be We misread you"

Perhaps it was Chen Ruming's deep affection that touched the secret string in Yi Alan's heart about the image of his father, making him eager to prove himself like a misunderstood child, and blurted out: "I don't have one!"

"Then what did you do?" Chen Ruming asked immediately.

"I..." Yi Alan was stuck again, he blinked his heavy eyelids, his reason was struggling in the swamp-like chaotic thoughts, surrounded by fog and fog, only Yan Fei's sentence "keep silent" seemed like a A lamp pointed his way.

Chen Ruming saw that Yi Alan's expression slowly returned from impulsiveness to almost blunt calmness, and he said disappointedly, "Aren't you still willing to tell me the truth?"

Yi Alan lowered her head.

After a moment of stalemate, Chen Ruming sighed heavily, pushed the chair, and left.

After Chen Ruming, four or five days later, Yi Alan still didn't say a word.

In the conference room, watching the video of Yi Alan's interrogation during this period was like watching the interrogator's one-man show, and the four team leaders present had some headaches.

Lu Liangjun clicked his tongue: "The psychological consultant named Wen Yusheng said that Yi Alan's tolerance for mental pain is quite high, which seems to be true. If you continue to exert mental pressure, I'm afraid it won't help much. Maybe you need to upgrade Interrogation method?"

Upgrading will involve physical damage and drug guidance.

"Not considering it for the time being." Luo Caiyun voted against it, "And we still have no substantive evidence that Yi Alan has committed acts that endanger the country, or at least his actions have not caused actual impact."

Lu Liangjun nodded mockingly: "Maybe he's just making pen pals in foreign countries."

Yan Fei said: "In this case, we have nothing to do with Yi Alan."

Chen Ruming said: "Even deputy team leader Yan can't ask anything? I really don't know why Yi Alan is so stubborn."

Luo Caiyun tapped her knuckles on the table in thought.

The verbal interrogation can be said to be the ultimate, every time Yan Fei personally comes out, and the speech skills are full of traps, the performance of the deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau is beyond reproach.If another person is interrogated, it is difficult to keep silent all the time, and they will be unconsciously led into a language trap, and then they will instinctively refute and talk in a state of confusion, so that they can naturally get the information they want .

But Luo Caiyun, Chen Ruming, and Lu Liangjun never thought that the reason why Yi Alan was as stable as Mount Tai in those verbal offensives was simply because he had a mirror-like tacit understanding with the interrogator, Yan Fei.The so-called traps and nets are all bluffs and castles in the air, and they even look a little ridiculous under Yan Fei's lifelike performance. Tricked into speaking the truth.As long as it is interrogated by another person, even if it is the latest employee of the Intelligence Bureau, Yi Alan will not resist so easily.

Luo Caiyun finally said: "Let Zhou Yan'an try it. If Zhou Yan'an still can't get anything out of Yi Alan's mouth, he will continue to detain Yi Alan and tell him clearly that if he doesn't take action against his violation Explain that he will be raped all the time, and depending on the future development of the international situation, we may escalate his interrogation. And if he states the truth and can make up for the loss or make up for the mistakes before the incident goes to a worse situation, we will It will release him, keep him out of politics and return him to freedom."

Yan Fei raised his eyebrows: "Zhou Yan'an...this is cruel to Yi Alan."

Luo Caiyun looked at him: "The cruel premise is that Yi Alan's feelings for Zhou Yan'an are indeed true, and not just a cover-up excuse."

"Okay, Yi Alan will continue to leave it to you to have a headache." Luo Caiyun opened a document, "Now there are other things that seem to be more important, um, related to the entire universe."

She was referring to the latest report submitted by the Physical Chemistry Group. Some domestic physicists jointly conducted an experiment with scientists from other countries, and the results of the experiment were intriguing.

The main device of the experiment is called "Casimir Device", which is one of the proof devices proposed for the imagined parallel world and high-dimensional universe a long time ago. Theoretical phenomenon, thus indirectly proving the existence of other universes.

The device has two sets of neutron plates made of two isotopes of nickel-58 and nickel-64 placed in parallel. According to the Casimir effect, when the two nickel plates are extremely close, they will attract each other slightly. According to the gravitational force The attraction between them will also be slightly different.

In order to maximize the Casimir effect, the Casimir device can use cutting-edge nanotechnology to manufacture nickel plates separated by atomic distances, and use the most advanced "micro-electromechanical torque oscillator" to measure the weak oscillation between the plates.Any differences between nickel-58 and nickel-64 could be attributed to gravity, so one would hope to find deviations from Newton's inverse square law at atomic distances.Once this deviation is measured, it means that there are other universes just one atom away from our own.

This Casimir device, which was conceived a long time ago, was limited by technology and cost, so it has not been manufactured and worked in the most perfect state.It was not until the appearance on the 32nd that various countries jointly allocated funds to carry out related research, and only last month, a Casimir device with all parameters meeting the conditions was produced.

The strange thing is that at the beginning, the Casimir device did not measure the deviation of Newton's law of motion. It was not until the 32nd appeared that the Casimir device found the deviation in a very short time in units of Planck time, but then Back to normal again.

This seems to prove the existence of other universes, but if they really exist, they should be stable for a long time, and the Casimir device should always be able to measure the deviation.

This abnormal phenomenon has confused researchers from all over the world. After intense discussions, other theories, such as the membrane theory, were introduced. Until recently, they gave a temporary explanation for the phenomenon.That is to say, parallel universes and high-dimensional universes do exist, but they are too far or too close to our universe—it can be called a safe distance, and they cannot be detected by the Casimir device or any other device under the current technology. measured to.However, the "32nd" can be captured for a short time because our universe and the 32nd are in a state of cyclic motion that is constantly approaching and moving away for some reason, like two thin membranes floating, sometimes Approaching, sometimes moving away, every other cycle, they can move to a distance that can be measured, that is, when the 32nd appears.

Such scenario assumptions reminded all scientists of another theory, the "Big Split" theory, which is another creation theory corresponding to the "Big Bang" theory of the universe.When it was first proposed, it was considered that two flat, identical, and parallel three-dimensional membranes representing the lowest energy state approached each other under the action of gravity and finally collided. The huge kinetic energy generated by the collision was transformed into The matter and radiation of our universe, the universe was formed in this way.

The 32nd and our universe can indeed be said to be two three-dimensional membranes with the same nature, but they are not in the lowest energy state.But in theory, the two parallel universes may also be affected by gravity and approach each other, and at the same time be affected by another force similar to a homopolar magnetic field, repel each other, and enter a state of "gladiatorial": either be repelled back to a safe distance , or collide together.

If it is the latter, then it means that both universes will be finished.

It is not accurate to say that it is "finished". It can only be said that all life in the two universes will be finished. Fragile life cannot survive the huge kinetic energy generated by the collision of the two universes, but the matter and radiation of the universe itself will be destroyed. New changes will occur in the collision, resulting in new physical laws, and the two parallel universes will eventually merge into a brand new universe, and new life and order will be born in that universe.

The author has something to say:

The explanations of "Casimir Device" and "Great Cleave" theory are quoted from Michio Kaku's "Parallel Universe", and then for the needs of the plot, I organized and explained it in my own language, which is not rigorous at all. Just understand what that means.
