Conquer District 11

"Hey, Misaka, it's better not to ask, you don't know even if you tell me."

Chen Xiaofeng turned the pages of the book depressed. Under normal circumstances, Chen Xiaofeng would follow the meaning, after all, the younger sister was also doing it for her own good... But in terms of study - there is really no way to do it.

It's not that Chen Xiaofeng didn't take it seriously, but it didn't work.

"Eh? Chen Xiaofeng, if you don't tell me, how do you know I don't know~"

"You? How can middle school students know what high school students know... You should go back to your class, the upper class is very dangerous~"

Chen Xiaofeng waved his hands casually, as if dismissing Misaka Mikoto.

"Hmph!" But that day, Misaka Mikoto snatched the textbook from Chen Xiaofeng's hand unconvinced. Chen Xiaofeng felt that it was impossible for Misaka Mikoto to know, so he didn't stop it.It's better to let her give up on such a thing.

however……

"Isn't it 'Schrödinger's cat'? Is this difficult?" Misaka Mikoto's expression of "So it's just that".

"Hey, hey, you see clearly, the question is 'what is Schrödinger's cat'~"

Chen Xiaofeng straightened his body and pointed at the textbook.

"I know." Misaka Mikoto said lightly.

"Huh? Misaka, you actually know? Then explain it to me." Chen Xiaofeng still didn't believe that Misaka Mikoto would know, so he deliberately asked for an explanation.

But Misaka Mikoto just smiled and took out a candy box from the pocket of her uniform skirt.

"Because there are no cats here, and the original theory is too cruel, I'll explain it in a simple adaptation."

After the extremely simple opening remarks, Misaka Mikoto said eloquently: "Here is a box, so, may I ask, what is in it?"

"Do you think I'm an idiot? Of course the candy box contains candies!"

Misaka Mikoto shook her head.

"Unfortunately, it's filled with chocolates - chocolate hazelnut balls, by the way."

"Huh? What is this? Misleading me? Also, what does this have to do with Schrödinger's theory?" Chen Xiaofeng continued to ask in denial.

"Don't worry, any theory has a premise~" Misaka Mikoto said and picked up the candy box again, "Then, Chen Xiaofeng, let me ask again, what is in this box?"

"Haha, didn't you say it was a hazelnut chocolate ball before? What's the point of this question... By the way, do you really know?"

Chen Xiaofeng was still confused at the moment, but Cou and You seemed to understand.

"Yes, Chen Xiaofeng, I did say that, but I also have the possibility of lying~"

Misaka Mikoto's words made Chen Xiaofeng feel like he was being tricked, but looking at Minato and Yuu's appearance, he knew that Misaka Mikoto was explaining in a fairly simple and understandable way.

Although it seems that this way seems pretty idiotic at the moment.

"There's a 50% chance that the box contains candy, and a 50% chance that it contains hazelnut chocolate. As long as I don't open the box, I can't be sure what's in it."

Chen Xiaofeng listened carefully.

"Then, please see." Misaka Mikoto finally opened the box.

pat-

A small orange candy fell out of the candy box.

Misaka Mikoto put the candy back into the box, then raised the box again and asked, "Excuse me, Chen Xiaofeng, what is in this box?"

"Uh... didn't you see that it was candy just now? What's the point of this question?"

"Indeed, I did see candy just now, so everyone who sees it will 100% think that it contains candy, but what if there are people who think it contains chocolate?"

Eh?Seeing candy and believing it contains chocolate?Chen Xiaofeng was puzzled, such a person is either an idiot or a fool?Although he wanted to complain, Misaka Mikoto's serious expression made Chen Xiaofeng continue listening.

"If you believe in that possibility and realize that possibility..."

Chen Xiaofeng seemed to understand something.

"From the normal reality, we can separate and obtain our own reality. We call this kind of people 'capable people', and we call such abilities 'superpowers'."

Select some of the factors in the normal reality, separate and obtain them, so as to realize the reality that only belongs to you... In other words, it is to turn the impossible into possible.

As long as these "impossible" are developed, then one can become a person with abilities.

These things are easier to understand if you are a person with abilities, because you will understand them when you develop abilities.

But for Chen Xiaofeng, who is an innate "rough stone", such an explanation is still a bit vague.

"So if you still can't understand it, let me give another example that is more realistic."

Seeing Chen Xiaofeng thinking, Misaka Mikoto continued.

"The person with the ability to move in space—Shirai Kuroko, do you know him?"

"Yes, I know."

"Then I'll use her as an example."

Misaka Mikoto said:

"Assuming that Shirai Kuroko's body is made up of countless elementary particles, and assuming that she is sitting on her own bed, then the probability of a particle in her body appearing on her own bed is 0.9999999, and the probability of appearing on someone else's bed is 0.0000001 And assuming that all particles in the body have the same probability of appearing on someone else’s bed—by the way, it doesn’t matter if they are different, this assumption is mainly for simplicity—then according to the probability theory, the probability of her whole body appearing on someone else’s bed is 0.0000001 Multiply by 0.0000001 by 0.0000001... After multiplying all the particles in the whole body, it can be seen that although the possibility of this result is very low, but grasp this possibility, and then use your own "ability" to calculate and then put it into practice , is a successful use of superpowers—the original impossibility has become possible.”

With such a practical example, Chen Xiaofeng finally had a little understanding of Schrödinger's theory.

"That is to say, Shirai Kuroko separated his real self and used his own reality to appear in other places. Such a successful use is a superpower? Is it the point of Schrödinger's theory?"

Chen Xiaofeng tried to express his thoughts.

"That's right, that's it." Misaka Mikoto nodded in agreement.

"However, Misaka, you are really amazing. You know all about high school knowledge."

Minato, who has been listening in, couldn't help but praise, "Besides, the examples are very simple and easy to understand. You are really a good teacher~"

"Yes, yes, it's amazing, Misaka-sensei~"

Chen Xiaofeng also changed his previous attitude.

"It's okay~" Misaka Mikoto scratched the back of her head in embarrassment, "If it was because of a part-time job, I don't think I would finish my high school courses by myself so quickly."

"Self-study?" Several people made surprised voices, "Still working part-time?"
