Chapter 55 Mirror Wall Canyon (Seeking monthly votes to boost the new book ranking)
Luo Qing: "What would happen to those 'ghosts' that are resonated into quantum states by ball lightning in the absence of an observer?"

Ding Yi: "It's uncertain. They will likely continue to exist, but their duration is a probabilistic event."

Luo Qing asked one last question: "Dr. Ding Yi, can I understand these quantum-state ghosts as spirits?"

Ding Yi: "That depends on your definition of the soul as a cultivator. To me, those who were killed by ball lightning did not truly die. They will be in a superposition of life and death in uncertainty."

Luo Qing nodded slightly: "I understand. For them, to be or not to be, that is indeed the question."

Ding Yi remained silent.

Luo Qing then asked Ding Yi a few more questions about macro-fusion.

"Dr. Ding Yi, I don't have a deep understanding of macro fusion, but I know in general that macro fusion is the fusion that occurs when two macro atomic nuclei collide. Although the macroscopic volume of these two atomic nuclei is very large, there are only two of them."

The nuclear fusion technology currently used by humanity, and the stellar-type hydrogen bomb envisioned by Radiaz, weighs over ten tons and contains far more matter than the two macroatomic nuclei. Why then can macro-fusion's power rival, or even surpass, that of a stellar-type hydrogen bomb?

Ding Yi shook his head: "This has nothing to do with the amount of matter. The amount of matter is a concept of the number of particles, not involving the atomic nucleus level. Luo Qing, there are also differences between the microscopic and the microscopic. For a more detailed discussion of macro-fusion, you can refer to my previous paper, where there is a more detailed explanation. But there is one thing I can tell you. The explosion forms of the two are different. Macro-fusion is mainly in the form of resonant waves. It does not exert any thrust on macroscopic matter. The concept of thrust is also macroscopic. This is very different from the stellar hydrogen bomb of Radiaz."

Finally, Ding Yi added a reminder: "The energy contained in macro-fusion depends on the internal structure of macro atoms, but one thing is certain: there should be nothing that can withstand a continental-scale macro-fusion explosion."

...

As Ding Yi had said, Luo Qing returned to the Jura Mountains.

It was already late at night.

Because the Trisolaran rebels used ball lightning on a large scale, the battlefield surrounding the Jura Mountains was not horrific, and even the smell of blood was faint, since most of the NATO soldiers were vaporized by the ball lightning attacks.

Within the mirror-like canyon he had cleaved open with his sword, Luo Qing deliberately kept his head down as he walked, without activating his spiritual sense. To avoid the observer effect, he even sealed his external perception.

The twinkling starlight in the sky scattered down, casting a jumble of starlight lines on the smooth stone walls on both sides. The starlight, reflected by the mirror-like surface, surged in from all directions, and even the night wind in the canyon seemed to carry a touch of the chill of outer space.

Luo Qing unintentionally left Switzerland with a world-famous scenic spot – the Mirror Canyon.

Therefore, when Luo Qing, whose senses were closed, bumped into a man, both of them were somewhat taken aback.

The entire Jura Mountains, especially the Mirror Wall Canyon that he carved out and leads directly to the Great Hadron Collider, should have been sealed off by the military. How did this person get in?
The man in front of me was wearing glasses, and a pen was clipped to his breast pocket, making him look like a scholar. He was also clutching a notebook tightly in his hand.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" Luo Qing asked.

“My sister was killed in the ETO raid. I rushed over from Rome after I heard the news.”

Who is your sister?

"She was once the best lieutenant in the French Foreign Legion!" The man's grief was tinged with a hint of pride.

Luo Qing understood. He glanced at the refined man and shook his head: "Please accept my condolences. ETO's ball lightning attack will not leave any remains. If you are looking for your sister's belongings, I suggest you seek help from the NATO troops stationed there and have them help you identify the uniforms."

"Thank you." The man was slightly moved. "I just wanted to see the place where she last disappeared."

Seeing the man begin to walk outside, Luo Qing shook his head. It was true that NATO forces had sealed off the Jura Mountains, but they hadn't completely cut them off. Because a large proportion of the thousands of NATO soldiers who died were killed by ball lightning, the army had given special permission for the families of the deceased to come upon hearing the news. At least by the afternoon, quite a few scattered family members, carrying the deceased's clothing (ball lightning can vaporize a person instantly, but clothing can remain), were still weeping as they emerged from the Mirror Wall Canyon.

I just didn't expect that there would be family members who had just arrived from Rome at this late hour.

Fortunately, the large amount of landslide debris at the tunnel entrance prevented the further accumulation of troops and their families, thus objectively avoiding the observer effect.

There should still be a chance to see more quantum ghosts.

On the other side, the man left Mirror Wall Canyon drenched in cold sweat. Only after confirming that the wall-facer did he manage to breathe a sigh of relief.

To run into Luo Qing like this is truly an incredible coincidence.

Although Zhi Zi gave him a timely warning, Luo Qing hadn't even spent a minute getting here from the NATO command post. By the time he received Zhi Zi's warning, it was too late to leave, as Mirror Wall Canyon was a one-way canyon with no other exits.

Fortunately, this terrifying cultivator who had been meditating in seclusion did not recognize his own identity.

If he had known it would be this exciting, he would have stayed in Rome instead of coming out of curiosity to visit this damn mirror canyon.

Just as Caesar was about to take out a cigarette and light it, he realized a small problem.

Where's my laptop?

Caesar murmured to himself.

After passing through the Mirror Wall Canyon, Luo Qing closed his eyes and climbed step by step to the top of the Jura Mountains.

The starlight shone silently on the Jura Mountains, the Mirror Valley, and the pine forest. A few whispers of wind echoed through the valley, while the distant city of Geneva was both tranquil and bustling. No one seemed to remember the dozens of ball lightning bolts that had struck during the day; apart from the corresponding clusters of molten sand and gravel, the traces of war appeared to have vanished completely within a mere four or five hours.

Luo Qing abandoned all perception based on his cultivation level. He leaned against the hilltop, closed his eyes, and felt the gentle night breeze, imagining a world beyond his sight: Mirror Wall Canyon was like the tail of a comet that had fallen onto the Jura Mountains, forming part of the infinite mountain shapes in this beautiful starry sky. Then, starlight shone through the canyon and began to illuminate the slopes of the Jura Mountains one by one.

A thousand stars appeared, with clear faces, seemingly wearing military uniforms and holding steel guns. The North Star emblem on their helmets was equally dazzling. Luo Qing noticed that there were dozens of soldiers with Eastern faces among them. He then realized that as early as the third year of the Crisis Era, this military organization, which was originally established to fight against the Soviet Union, had already changed its mission and absorbed the participation of Russia and China [1].

NATO is no longer the same NATO, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was renamed the Northern Hemisphere Treaty Organization as early as the fourth year of the Crisis Era [2].

In this grand quantum starry sea, new NATO soldiers from 37 countries, in the silent and solemn world of the night, are still carrying out their mission to guard the European Hadron Collider. Beside them, the armored vehicles and helicopters that also disappeared under ball lightning, stand guard in the place where they were before they were destroyed, in the form of quantum tanks and quantum helicopters.

This is the quantum army that Taylor once longed for, and now it has truly appeared here.

Luo Qing opened her eyes.

Everything disappeared.

Fortunately, the moment he opened his eyes, he still saw the grand scene just before the quantum collapse, exactly as he had imagined.

The boundless breath of heaven and earth gently caressed the silent Jura Mountains.

[1]: The number of NATO soldiers killed by ball lightning in this war was higher than 1000, but the remaining number collapsed prematurely due to the observer effect of the army and the families of the deceased.
[2]: This chapter was originally set up to have the ETO attack the Qinling Collider, leaving this grand scene for the sacrificed soldiers of Dongda University. However, considering the censorship, the Trisolaran rebels, the incredible difficulty of breaking into the Qinling Mountains, and the reluctance to let the Dongda University soldiers sacrifice themselves, we had to let the NATO guys have it. (By the way, let's change the name to distinguish it from the real, pathetic NATO.)
