The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 949 The Observer

"No more." Dr. Jia replied: "This is the whole process of exploring the fog."

"Why does it feel like the thunder is louder and the raindrops are lighter?" Douhu leaned back and crossed his legs on the coffee table.

"What else do you think? Being able to enter the fog is an unprecedented breakthrough!" Dr. Jia said.

"That's right." Jiuhan nodded: "Since we can pry open a corner of the fog, it is not impossible to understand the entire fog in the future. This completely opens up another way for us. Unfortunately, there is not enough time."

Gao Yang was noncommittal and thought quietly.

Seeing that everyone was silent, he raised his head and looked at Dr. Jia: "Tell me your speculation."

Dr. Jia snorted proudly and waited for Gao Yang to ask.

He nodded his head with his hand: "Although Cang Dao has erased all traces of that desert, it cannot erase the memory in my mind."

"I actually visited the oasis that Qing Ling and Nana explored. The lake is very beautiful. Tourists would ride camels there to take photos and check in. It is a very famous attraction."

"I originally considered building the laboratory near the oasis, but there were frequent tourists and it was very close to the boundary of the fog. It might be swallowed up by the fog one day. In the end, I moved ten kilometers back. Unexpectedly, This desert has really been swallowed up, this is foresight.”

Gao Yang understood immediately: "You want to say that the area Qing Ling and Nana explored was the area before the fog swallowed them up."

"Judging from the available information, that's true." Dr. Jia shrugged.

"That's wrong." Gao Yang was doubtful: "If that's all, why did the camera malfunction?"

"It's easy to talk to smart people." Dr. Jia was very happy. "I currently have two inferences."

Everyone immediately sat up straight and listened attentively.

"The first speculation is what I call the 'dispersion theory'." Dr. Jia said.

Everyone exchanged glances without interrupting.

"To put it simply, I think the fog is really just a form of fog. Now I made a fog-dispelling lamp. Qing Ling and Nana took it close to the fog, and the fog dispersed, revealing the things that had been swallowed up from Cangdao. Territory.”

Dr. Jia raised his two fists and fought each other: "If you take a step back, I will take a step forward. If you take a step forward, I will take a step back. You can use a fog-dispelling lamp. Okay, you are powerful. I will avoid its sharp edge and you will dispel the fog." The light is almost out of power, haha ​​I'm back again, eh, how are you? Just playing! A little bit!"

It has to be said that after Dr. Jia personified the mist, he was full of ridicule. The blood pressure of everyone present went up immediately, and they wished they could beat him immediately.

"Dr. Jia, you still haven't explained why the camera failed." Jiuhan said.

"It should be that the mist contains some kind of strange energy field or interference magnetic field. Although it temporarily returns the territory to us, the pollution it has caused is irreversible."

Dr. Jia shrugged: "But even if you explain it this way, you can still find loopholes."

"Camel." Qing Ling said.

"Yes." Dr. Jia gave a thumbs up to Qingling, "According to your description, the camel was not an illusion and was still very young. According to normal logic, it has been in the fog for at least 20 years and has only drank water for 20 years. It is impossible to live without water and food. Then, there is one possibility left. The camel Qing Ling saw was the one that was just swallowed by the fog 20 years ago."

"You mean... the loss of time is different inside and outside the fog?" Jiuhan understood.

Douhu touched his chin and added: "For Luotuo, only one or two days have passed, but for us, 20 years have passed?"

"No, there is still a loophole." Gao Yang said: "If time passes differently inside and outside the fog, and Qing Ling and Nana come back from the fog, the time on Dr. Jia's side cannot be synchronized by 4 minutes. He will have to wait at least a week. .”

"That's right!" Dr. Jia smiled: "So this inference doesn't work." "Old Jia, you are kidding us." Douhu was a little unhappy.

"You know what, detours have their value." Dr. Jia moved his buttocks and became more energetic: "Now let me talk about the second kind of speculation, which I call the 'observation theory'."

There was silence in the room for a long time. Dr. Jia was like an examiner who asked questions, waiting for the smart students to raise their hands to answer.

"You want to say..." Gao Yang finally caught something, "We can never observe the true state of the fog, because the observation itself is a kind of interference?"

Dr. Jia nodded with satisfaction: "Do you know Schrödinger's cat?"

Jiuhan, Douhu and Qingling all understood and nodded in response.

Dr. Jia's eyes moved to Nana.

Nana was stunned and shouted with a guilty conscience: "How presumptuous! My king is omniscient and omnipotent, how dare you, the ants, question it!"

"Okay, I'll continue."

Seeing Dr. Jia's eyes move away, Nana immediately took out her mobile phone, typed quickly, and started searching for relevant popular science.

"I'll try to put it as plainly as possible. I think the places swallowed by the fog no longer exist."

"what?!"

Dr. Jia’s first sentence made him unable to deal with Douhu: Your popularity and mine seem to be different.

Not only Douhu, but others also seemed to understand but were shocked.

Nana was even worse. She held her mobile phone and glanced at ten lines. It was difficult to understand why Schrödinger wanted to "abuse the cat." Dr. Jia said again, "There is no cat at all."

She simply gave up, moved to sit down, put on a cold and contemptuous look, and decided to keep it like this until the end of the discussion. This is called staying the same to cope with the ever-changing situation.

"Don't be nervous." Dr. Jia smiled a little gloatingly: "The non-existence I am talking about is only non-existence in a narrow sense, targeting the rules and life dimensions of our world."

"From our point of view, the desert swallowed by the fog no longer exists. For the convenience of understanding, you can imagine it as void. Void is also a state, but we cannot perceive this state."

"Is there any problem here?" Dr. Jia asked.

No one asked questions, Dr. Jia continued: "Okay, now Qing Ling and Nana take the tickets in hand, enter the void, and observe the void."

"However, they cannot understand the void, because for them, the void is equivalent to non-existence. Therefore, their observation becomes a kind of interference, and the interference itself contains information, which in turn completes Qing Ling and Thanks to Nana’s existence, they saw the desert before it was swallowed up by the fog.”

"You mean, that desert was all made up by their own minds? In fact, there is nothing? Then isn't this still an illusion?"

"No, no, no, this is not an illusion, it is a form of existence that has been interfered by the observer."

Dr. Jia shook his index finger, "In addition, Qing Ling and Nana only serve as a perspective, or a line of sight. They are not qualified to be observers."

"Pingtong!" Douhu went crazy: "Fucking ordinary!"

"call."

Gao Yang, who had been thinking hard, breathed a sigh of relief and finally caught up with Dr. Jia's thinking: "We are Cang Dao's chess pieces and Cang Dao's eyes."
