Chapter 116 Parallel Universe
"What are you looking for?" A cup of warm brown sugar pear water was placed against her face.
She turned her head and found that the person coming was Sheng Xingyuan. He was the one who placed the drink on her cheek. Qin Muxue turned her face and took the drink.
It seemed that the figure she saw before was really just her illusion. She looked at the person in disappointment and asked, "What brings you here?"
"I just thought it was very lively here, and was about to patronize your stall, but I found that you had already closed the stall. Why, are the products selling out so quickly?"
"It's all thanks to Professor Sheng. The people you found are so obvious..." Which big man would come to buy such a thing?
Sheng Xingyuan calmly explained: "You asked me to find someone, but most of the people I know are like this."
"Don't you have any girls around you?"
"Most of the experiments were done by me alone. I didn't need any assistants. The only thing I needed to do was to protect my own personal safety, so those were the people who protected me."
No wonder they are all big men wearing sunglasses.
"I see. Thank you anyway." She thanked him politely, still holding the glass of water in her hand.
"Try it." Sheng Xingyuan reminded her.
Qin Muxue could only take a sip and found that it was not very sweet, with a hint of pear fragrance, but still not as delicious as milk tea.
“How does it taste?”
"It's OK. It's really nice to be able to drink this kind of drink now."
"I came to see you today, and you know what I want to say to you, right?" The two found a quiet place and sat down.
Qin Muxue naturally knew what Sheng Xingyuan was thinking. During this period of time, she had indeed seen the changes in the people around her, and she should indeed fulfill her promise. "Thank you. If you want to start the experiment, you can do it anytime."
Sheng Xingyuan took out a recorder and handed it to her. "It contains some information about the experiments I participated in. I can't give you a written report. Some of it was dictated by me. I hope you don't spread it out."
Qin Muxue took the recorder hesitantly. It was clearly her own request, but now she seemed a little guilty. "You recorded everything you said?"
"Well, if you spread it out, you know the consequences." There were always those tall and strong men looming around Sheng Xingyuan, and Qin Muxue could feel that they were also people with superpowers.
"Professor Sheng, do you think you can trap me with those few people?"
"Of course I know your abilities, but since you know that I can create you, I can naturally do that too..." His slightly threatening tone made Qin Muxue feel a little uncomfortable.
"In that case, I understand. Thank you for your help. Thank you for the drink, it tastes good. I wish you a happy new year in advance!" Qin Muxue stood up. "When do we officially start?"
"After the holiday, you can report directly to the laboratory and bring your friends with you."
"Okay, see you then!" Qin Muxue didn't say anything more to him, nor did she ask a few more questions, and left indifferently.
Sheng Xingyuan looked at her departing back and felt a strange feeling in his heart. He clearly just wanted to use her, so why did he always feel that he had said too much today?
After Qin Muxue returned to the apartment, she went straight into the space, took care of the planting area, and then came to Baozhu. Looking at her slightly bulging belly, she thought about the several little lives being nurtured inside. She felt both anticipation and fear. Fortunately, she had the space, otherwise she would not know how to provide Baozhu with a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Baozhu seemed very excited to see her coming. She circled around Qin Muxue and looked at her eagerly. She seemed to become more clingy after becoming pregnant. The culprit who caused Baozhu to become pregnant did not know what he did wrong. Qin Muxue got angry when she saw him.
Qin Muxue used the stove to stew a beef bone soup. The beef bones could be used to grind the teeth of the dogs here. Ah Huang's children had grown up, and a group of dogs surrounded her feet, so she couldn't even walk.
By the way, she also took some food with her. Lately, she had been eating only to satisfy her hunger, not to satisfy her appetite. Today, she rarely wanted to eat garlic oyster beef skewers and lamb skewers. There were still a lot of them stored in the space before, so she took ten skewers of each, and took some fresh oysters, put garlic sauce on them, and grilled them on the grill.
I took a can of draft beer and drank it quickly. As expected, it was most refreshing to drink beer in one breath. Eating lamb and beef skewers with beer, it seemed like I was back to the old days, but the past would never come back again.
Baozhu also likes to eat oysters. She roasted some without adding garlic, and after they were cool enough, she gave two to each of the dogs, and of course the cats as well.
It was just that other cats would hide whenever they saw someone coming, only Pearl would stay by her side. She picked Pearl up and put her on her knees, "Pearl, you seem to have gained some weight. Come and have an oyster!"
It was also Pearl's first time to eat oysters. She was a little hesitant at first. After seeing Qin Muxue eat a few, she tried to lick a bite. She thought the taste was very good, so she ate all the oysters.
"It seems like you like this very much. I'll give you one more!"
Qin Muxue took another bite. The deliciousness of the oysters wrapped in garlic was really indescribable. It turned out that only delicious food could heal the wounded human heart. At least she felt much better now.
She thought a lot about Sheng Xingyuan. Anyway, he didn't look like a person with high martial arts skills, but she was different. Moreover, she had never told him that she had a space, but he was so arrogant and dared to look down on her.
She wanted to see how capable Sheng Xingyuan was. If he could really destroy himself, it would mean that his ability was extremely strong.
After eating and drinking, they shared the stewed beef bone soup with the cats and dogs, and threw the bones to the dogs to grind their teeth.
Although they lived in a space, Qin Muxue still gave the puppies rabies vaccines and dewormed all the cats and dogs.
After settling the other animals, she felt really tired.
Lying on the bed in the small room, she looked at the ceiling dejectedly and fell asleep unknowingly.
When she woke up again, she was awakened by a knock on the door. Qin Muxue rubbed her eyes, put on her clothes, opened the door, and found Manman standing at the door. "Xiaoxue, today is New Year's Eve, don't forget to come over for the New Year's Eve dinner!"
New Year's Eve dinner? Ever since she was old enough to understand, she had never had a good New Year's Eve dinner. Every time she went home, she would have a big quarrel with her father and stepmother, and then run away in anger, as if the three of them were the family and she was just a superfluous existence.
This year I can finally have a New Year's Eve dinner with my friends, but it seems like there's one person missing...
"OK!"
Wu You and Nian Nian can also go out and set up stalls by themselves. When faced with some difficult customers, they can talk to them with ease. The two children are like little adults, introducing the products one by one, and soon all the products on the stall are sold out.
After Manman left, Qin Muxue took out the recorder and started listening to some of the experimental projects.
She listened very carefully, wanting to find clues from these experiments. As long as there was a way to find Shi Yan, she would not miss any of it.
"The next experiment is about the concept of parallel time and space. Multiverse, Parallel universes, or multiverse theory refers to a theory that has not yet been confirmed in physics. According to this theory, there are likely to be other universes outside of the human universe, and these universes are a reflection of the possible state of the universe. The different processes of this event or the subsequent development of a different decision exist in different parallel universes; this theory is also often used to explain some other paradoxes, such as some paradoxes about time travel, such as a ball falling into a time tunnel, going back to the past and hitting itself, thus making it unable to enter the 'time tunnel'. In addition to assuming that time travel is impossible, this paradox can also be explained by parallel universes. According to the explanation of the parallel universe theory: the ball hitting itself and not hitting itself are two different parallel universes."
Qin Muxue's heart moved, and she continued to listen. "The theory of multiple universes means that if we travel back to the past and change a small thing, then everything in that space will change because of the butterfly effect, and you in that universe will also change. After my investigation, I found that our world should be one of the multiple universes. There are many people who traveled from other universes. Everything has a trace..."
Qin Muxue listened to his story carefully. "When the universe where humans live collides with another parallel universe, it will leave traces in the cosmic microwave background radiation. Once an orbital telescope finds suspicious traces in the background radiation, it suggests that this may be from another parallel universe. If you want to travel to a parallel universe, the first way is to fly close to the speed of light. Everyone understands this meaning and does not need too much explanation. The second way is to travel through a wormhole. A wormhole is a tunnel connecting two time and space. It is an omnipresent but fleeting vortex of time and space. It is very likely to be the entrance to another time and space. Unfortunately, it has not been confirmed yet. There is another way. There are many things in the world that cannot be confirmed by science. Perhaps there is also a way for souls to travel through time..."
Qin Muxue was stunned. Does that mean her soul traveled through time? She was reborn from her previous life. Does that mean her soul traveled from one parallel universe to another?
Then can she travel to other parallel time and space again? These still need to be proved.
But Sheng Xingyuan's recorder has already mentioned several possibilities. "There is another possibility. Is the world we exist in just a bunch of data, and we are just consciousness transmitted there? It is also possible that this is a superpower evolved by humans. There is no law for the evolution of superpowers, and it is not impossible to evolve into a black hole or a wormhole. It's just that we haven't seen such a powerful superpower yet, so it needs to be proven."
Qin Muxue put down the recorder. If what Sheng Xingyuan said was true, they were all a bunch of data, and the world they existed in was also made up of a bunch of data. There were too many things in the world that she could not explain clearly, such as the space she had now.
She would have to ask Sheng Xingyuan for details. She remembered the supernatural powers that the officer had when they were in the Dajiang Shelter. Since he could evolve such supernatural powers, could anyone also evolve the power to distort time and space?
Her pupils dilated instantly. Can it be understood that Shi Yan actually possesses the ability to travel through time and space?
In the evening, Qin Muxue came to Manman as scheduled, and Grandma Qu had already prepared a large table of food.
"It's been a while since I've felt the festive mood. Let's wash our hands and get ready for dinner."
This time, only Qu Yanbai, Grandma Qu, Manman and the two children were present for the New Year’s Eve dinner. The rest of the people also ate at home, after all, it was New Year’s Eve.
"Xiao Qin, take a look and see if these are all the dishes you like."
Lamb spine hotpot, sweet and sour pork, iron pot fish, Wenchang chicken, pineapple sweet and sour pork, and dumplings, which are a must-eat during the Chinese New Year. The aroma alone makes one's mouth water.
"It seems like we haven't had a proper New Year's Eve dinner since Mom passed away."
In fact, Manman and Qin Muxue had the same experience, but now it’s different. They can enjoy a big meal with important people around them.
Just as Qin Muxue was about to start eating, there was a knock on the door. "Wait, I'll go open the door. Who else would come so late?"
Manman opened the door. Outside the door was a familiar figure. Sheng Xingyuan walked in carrying two bags of things. "I came in a hurry, so I brought some gifts with me."
While Grandma Qu was still wondering who he was, Qu Yanbai had already said, "Professor Sheng, why are you here?"
"I am alone and I want to have a meal."
Since they had brought gifts, Qu Yanbai felt embarrassed to refuse. "It's time for dinner, Professor Sheng. Come over and eat with us."
Sheng Xingyuan was not polite and sat directly next to Qin Muxue, "What a coincidence, you are here too."
Qin Muxue knew that this guy was definitely not here just to get a free meal. If he didn't have something to do, he would never come here for nothing.
"You don't mind if I come here to eat for free?"
"No, I won't." It just so happened that she had some things she wanted to discuss with Sheng Xingyuan. There were many people around now, so she would ask him after dinner.
Qu Yanbai took out some white wine. Since today was New Year's Eve, they had to drink to celebrate. "Professor Sheng, do you want to drink?"
"You can have a drink."
With a drinking buddy, Qu Yanbai immediately became excited. After a few drinks, the two became close friends.
Manman and Grandma Qu were used to it and were busy picking food for Qin Muxue. When the food in her bowl had piled up like a small mountain, Manman kept saying, "Xiaoxue, eat more. You've lost weight recently."
Qin Muxue couldn't help but touch her face. Although she was very sad, she ate a lot and she didn't feel that she had lost weight. Qin Muxue silently began to eat the food in the bowl.
After they finished eating, they played with the children. Qu Yanbai and Sheng Xingyuan were still drinking. In the end, Qu Yanbai was drunk, but Sheng Xingyuan remained calm.
Finally, Qin Muxue asked, "You didn't come here just to drink, did you?"
"The food that Grandma Qu cooks is really delicious." Sheng Xingyuan couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder you are so devoted to them and willing to do things for me."
Looking at the lights and decorations outside the window, it really felt like Chinese New Year. "I came here to give this to you."
He handed Qin Muxue a card. "This is what I promised to give you. I forgot to give it to you last time. The points in it are enough for you to live a life of ease and comfort here."
These were indeed the points she had asked Sheng Xingyuan for. She took them and decided not to refuse them. "I have something to tell you."
"you say."
"I've watched most of the recording. Regarding the theory of parallel universes, I can make some suggestions. Just as you said, I've seen memory black holes in other people's abilities, but those memories are just the past that we can't change. Since such abilities exist, then the ability to distort time and space or travel through time and space should also be possible, right?"
"I'm still researching this. You seem very interested in it?"
"No, I was just curious and remembered the special ability of that person."
“What does a memory black hole look like?”
Qin Muxue told Sheng Xingyuan everything she had seen that day, and he listened carefully.
If the world wants to destroy humanity, why would it allow humans to have superpowers like this bug?
…
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people pay New Year’s greetings and receive red envelopes according to the old custom.
Grandma Qu gave them each a red envelope, "Although it's just a small red envelope, it's a token of our appreciation!"
The two little kids solemnly wished Qin Muxue a happy new year, "Sister, I wish you a happy new year!"
Qin Muxue wrapped two big red envelopes and said, "Grow up well and listen to grandma and your brothers and sisters!"
"I know!"
The market also closed for a day, which was probably the most relaxing day in the base in a year.
Everyone relaxed and enjoyed family time together, but Qin Muxue felt a little uneasy.
After releasing Baozhu and Zhenzhu, she let them play with the children for a while. She felt that Baozhu's condition was not right today. She was looking for a corner in a panic. It seemed that she was about to give birth.
Qin Muxue also felt nervous, and quickly found Manman, "Manman, look at Baozhu, is she about to give birth?"
Manman touched Baozhu's belly and could feel the fetus moving inside. Baozhu groaned as if she felt the pain. "It should be."
If she were in the space, she would not be able to stay by Baozhu's side all the time, so this time Qin Muxue did not let Baozhu return to the space, but instead prepared to deliver her baby in the house.
No matter it is a human or a dog, giving birth is a matter of life and death. Qin Muxue immediately went to stew an old hen to provide Baozhu with nutrition.
Manman prepared a hidden space to prevent Baozhu from being frightened. Originally, Qin Muxue wanted to let Zhenzhu go back into the space, but she seemed to sense that something was wrong with Baozhu and she refused to go back and insisted on staying by Baozhu's side. She was raised by Baozhu and had special feelings for her, so Qin Muxue just let her go.
The two of them stayed by Baozhu's side for five or six hours. Baozhu ate half a chicken, but her stomach still didn't start to move.
"Why hasn't the baby been born for so long?" Qin Muxue started to get anxious.
Manman touched Baozhu's belly and said, "Logically, the baby should be born soon."
Afterwards, Baozhu, who had eaten her fill, finally gave birth. The first puppy that came out was a dusty one. Qin Muxue immediately took the puppy and wiped it clean. The next few were born without any trouble either, two males and two females in total, and the genders of the babies born were very evenly matched.
Baozhu was already exhausted and out of breath at this time. The two thought it was over, but Baozhu's stomach twitched a few times and another puppy came out.
There were five puppies in total. After being wiped clean, they all started to drink milk in Baozhu's arms. The last one, which was relatively thin, could not get in. Even if he did, he would be pushed out by his other brothers and sisters. Qin Muxue felt sorry for the little puppy and could only start to feed him some goat milk herself.
The last one was too weak. Without special care, it might not survive the night.
Baozhu was too tired to take care of the puppy and lay there motionless. Zhenzhu stood up and motioned Qin Muxue to put the puppy into her arms. Her arms were also warm, so she should be able to take care of the puppy with ease.
"Pearl, do you want to take care of Baozhu's child?"
Zhenzhu nodded, so Qin Muxue put the weak puppy in Zhenzhu's arms and fed it goat milk from a small pet bottle from time to time.
This reminded Zhenzhu of her childhood, when she was abandoned on the roadside because she was too weak. If it weren't for Baozhu and Qin Muxue, she would have frozen to death. Gently licking the puppy in her arms, there was a maternal light in Zhenzhu's eyes.
Qin Muxue put collars of five different colors around the puppies' necks to distinguish them from each other. After all, newly born German Shepherds all look the same and it is difficult to tell them apart.
Manman squatted on the side, looking at these little puppies with joy in her heart, "Baozhu, you are really amazing, but you must be exhausted too!"
Manman stewed another crucian carp. She heard that crucian carp soup was good for increasing milk production, so she stewed the crucian carp until it was milky white and brought it to Baozhu. Baozhu raised her head and drank a few mouthfuls of the soup weakly.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Baozhu actually chose this day to give birth to five puppies. "Have you thought of names?" Manman touched the gurgling puppies. One of them was spitting up milk because it was too full.
"Why not call them the first day, the second day, the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day! How about that?"
"Your name is a bit casual."
Qin Muxue scratched her head and said, "I really can't think of a better name. Why don't you choose it, Manman?"
Manman thought for a moment, and she really couldn't remember anything too complicated, "The male puppy's name is Jiankangkangkang, and the female puppy's name is Pingping'an'an."
"What about the smallest one?"
"Coke."
This name seemed to be somewhat out of tune with his brothers and sisters, but Qin Muxue still nodded, "I'll listen to you!"
