Chapter 96 Peach Blossom Spring (End) (1st update + 2nd update + 13.6w nutrient solution) [VIP]
When Xu Zichen woke up, he felt the world spinning before his eyes.
The strong wind and raindrops roared at him like crazy. For a moment, all he could hear was the sound of wind and rain. He could not hear any other voice.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses from this trance, and the first voice he heard was Guan Hongyan's.
Guan Hongyan's voice was piercing under the heavy rain: "Oh my god, Xu Zichen, do you really not want to live anymore?!"
Half of her body was soaked by the rain, and she was staring at him in frustration: "You're almost dead, don't you even know to shout?"
God knows, Wu Zongzi looked fine, as if the wound on his neck was not blood but ketchup. He smiled like a pervert for a long time, coughing and saying that Lu Changfeng could be called.
Guan Hongyan couldn't wait to throw away the hot potato in her hand. Before she could recover from the feeling of "my teammates seem to be perverts", she saw Xu Zichen standing beside her with a pale face, and it was obvious that he was only breathing in but not out.
Guan Hongyan was instantly frightened. She dragged Lu Changfeng, who was treating Wu Zongzi halfway, over to her. After searching for a long time, she finally found the knife on the ground. Then she continued to stab him right at the wound.
Xu Zichen, who was almost dead, was given a brief resurgence by the knife. Lu Changfeng quickly came over to treat Xu Zichen.
After dealing with Xu Zichen, Lu Changfeng realized belatedly that he had left Wu Zongzi behind. When he turned around to look at Wu Ge, he found that the man had actually climbed up from the ground, holding his neck. He dragged a stool over as if nothing had happened, and sat on it with an interested smile on his face. He was tumbling the small ball that he had taken from Yun Guang in his hand, like an old man.
It's just that others only had two, but he only had one. There was still blood on his neck that hadn't been wiped clean, and his gentle face looked like a gangster boss who had just killed someone and robbed someone.
Everyone in the room was frightened by his sudden act of cutting his neck, and they all gathered at the door of the room. But he, with a cut still on his neck, just sat on the chair and watched Xu Zichen's fun as if nothing had happened.
Xu Zichen was lying in the mud that had been soaked by the rainstorm. It took him several seconds to recover from his trance before he cried out in injustice: "Is it because I didn't want to shout..."
Yun Guang was such a sincere person even when he stabbed someone. Wu Zongzi even remembered to hold his breath before slashing his own neck. Yun Guang really wanted to stab him to death.
The village that he had just seen in a trance had now turned into dead trees swaying in the wind and rain. Before he could think more and take a closer look, not far away, the figure of Teacher Sun holding an umbrella broke through the rain curtain and gradually approached here.
When he arrived near the hut, he found that the group of students who were in the hut before the rain had their doors wide open and were all standing at the door, with a person lying in the middle.
"What's going on?" Teacher Sun was frightened by Xu Zichen's appearance and subconsciously wanted to squat down to see what was going on.
Before Xu Zichen could wrap his mind around the village, he heard Wu Zongzi's voice beside him saying as usual: "The teacher wanted to go out of the house to pick you up, but he tripped over the threshold and lay on the ground for a while. "
"Ah...ah?" Teacher Sun obviously didn't expect this to happen.
Lu Changfeng had almost healed all the wounds on Xu Zichen's body, leaving only a knife cut on his clothes. There was now a lot of black and gray mud on it, covering the bloodstains around the gap, making it look like it was cut by a stone on the ground.
"How can you trip over the threshold when you are so grown up..." Teacher Sun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pulled Xu Zichen up from the ground and looked at his clothes with some embarrassment. "You can't wear any of your clothes after you fell down."
Originally there was no vegetation on this barren mountain, only some dead trees and thorns. When it rained, the soil could not retain water, and it easily gathered into streams and flowed down the mountain. The mountain, which was originally barely walkable, turned into a muddy land.
After Xu Zichen fell, his clothes on both sides were covered with mud. He looked quite embarrassed. He would probably have to clean himself up when he got back.
"Close the door quickly." Teacher Sun waved to everyone and instructed them to close the door. Only then did Xu Zichen sit down in the room.
Yun Guang expressed his concern for Teacher Sun. Didn’t he say he was going to go find his friend in the Municipal Bureau? Why hasn’t he come back yet?
Teacher Sun shrugged helplessly and said that when he arrived there, he saw the family members of the victims could not accept the situation and were out of control. The only few policemen who remained on the mountain as it was about to rain had no choice but to try to bring him down the mountain while thinking of other ways, and then slowly comfort him after arriving at the police station.
Teacher Sun was unable to help, and seeing that the rain was about to fall, he had to say a few words to his friend and hurried towards the cabin.
Who would have thought that it would rain halfway through the walk. Fortunately, he grew up in the mountains when he was a child, and the vegetation on other mountains was not very rich at that time, so he had some experience walking in them.
Bai Jinshu sat on a bench in the hut, listening to the exploration team members over there attracting Teacher Sun's attention. Then the fat man Lu Changfeng couldn't help but come over curiously: "Brother Wu, what did you see just now?"
He had his eyes closed the whole time and had no idea what had happened. He only heard Wu Zongzi tell Guan Hongyan in a voice with a strange bubbling sound that he knew where the village was.
Then, Xu Zichen, who was stabbed by Yun Guang for no reason, seemed to have seen something.
After the two people were rescued, Xu Zichen fell into a state of philosophical thinking. He sat on a stool, flipping through his mobile phone from time to time, and then began to meditate facing the empty wall under the sound of rain.
And ever since Wu Zongzi was rescued, he has been looking extremely venomous, with a very subtle smile on his lips. He sits aside without saying a word, looking like he's waiting for someone to ask him something.
If someone really asked...
"You want to see it too?" Bai Jinshu glanced at Lu Changfeng. The kidney-stabbing knife he exchanged from the Foundation Mall turned in his hand. The blade lightly brushed his fingertips and pointed directly at Lu Changfeng's throat. "Do you want to try it?"
"No, no," Wu Zongzi said lightly. Lu Changfeng waved his hands timidly, "Well...if I get hurt, I can't save myself."
After all, Xu Zichen had been cut open in front of him, so he was somewhat mentally prepared for Xu Zichen's behavior. However, the fact that Wu Zongzi suddenly cut himself open and even enthusiastically invited him to cut himself open as well was a bit beyond his acceptance.
Wu Zongzi must have known something by now, but it was hard to say because Teacher Sun was here. Lu Changfeng looked at the rain outside and rubbed in the direction of Xu Zichen: "Brother Xu, what are you looking at?"
"Ball lightning..." Xu Zichen sat on the stool, still looking like he was thinking about philosophy, and tilted the phone towards him.
Lu Changfeng saw the Baidu Encyclopedia about ball lightning on his mobile phone screen, and on the watch next to it, he had just sent the relevant content to the group.
"Brother Xu, did you just see ball lightning?" Lu Changfeng guessed.
He flipped through the screenshots in the group and found that Guan Hongyan had replied with a message: [What is this? ]
[I don’t know.] Xu Zichen’s answer was also very simple.
[I saw this thing from the sky when I was about to die,] he put his phone aside and replied on the task panel, [and before that, when I was in a state of confusion, I saw that village at the moment of my death.]
As soon as he said this, the looks of everyone in the room changed.
Yun Guang, who was trying to divert Teacher Sun's attention, withdrew from the group without leaving a trace. His reply soon appeared in the group: [Seeing, or entering? ]
This is the point.
Xu Zichen, who was originally in a philosophical state, suddenly became alert and responded quickly: [I’m not sure, but I did see the village in the blurred state of my consciousness. The place where I was lying seemed to be the same place as the house in the village. I could see the wheat fields outside and the well at the door…]
[Oh my god,] he suddenly realized, [the well had moved again when I saw it.]
Xu Zichen sat up from his chair: [Compared to the position we looked at from the inside last time, the well has moved. It shouldn't be an illusion. Otherwise, the well in my memory is either on the left side of the house or on the right side of the room. How come I can see it in the middle this time? ]
[That means he has entered.] Yun Guang typed a few words briefly and then stopped talking. From Lu Changfeng's perspective, he seemed to be thinking.
Guan Hongyan's message suddenly popped up: [Shouldn't the order to enter the village be to follow the stream first? ]
Last time, they at least walked down the mountain and passed through a cave before reaching the bottom of the villa.
Why did Xu Zichen appear directly in the village this time?
[Maybe it’s because I’m entering for the second time?] Xu Zichen was actually quite confused, [I couldn’t follow the original sequence the second time I entered, so I went straight into the village.]
Several exploration team members who were communicating in the cabin exchanged glances like Morse code, and finally looked at Wu Zongzi who was still playing with the ball.
Wu Zongzi propped up his chin with a creepy smile, and waved the knife in his hand at everyone, with a look on his face that said: If you can't think of the answer, why not stab yourself and see.
Guan Hongyan twitched her lips, retracted her gaze, and decisively sent a message in the group: [Yun Guang, quick analysis.]
Why do you always want to stab others?
However, Xu Zichen's curious eyes could hardly be contained.
He felt that he had actually vaguely touched the boundary of this core rule, but he just couldn't find a key point to connect them together.
The barrage is almost dying of curiosity:
【What is it? What is it? 】
[This is why I hate watching the rules assessment the most. I am so curious that I am dying of curiosity——]
[Wu Zongzi, if you have the guts to cut your own neck, why don’t you submit the rules?]
【He seemed to enjoy the stupid and clear looks from other people. 】
Perhaps Guan Hongyan's urging worked. After a while, Yun Guang seemed to have finally sorted out his thoughts and posted in the group: [If you are entering, then it means that our initial inference about how to enter the village was wrong. ]
[The order in which you enter the village is not actually important. What is important is probably the status of everyone. ]
He thought about it and added: [Based on the conditions of Zong Zi and Zi Chen, can only people who are dying enter it? ]
Wu Zongzi, who was very frugal with words, finally sent the first message in the group: [It is near death, but not entering. ]
[What do you mean?] Guan Hongyan looked like she had racked her brains, wishing she could take her brain out of her skull and squeeze out some water to see if she could squeeze out some remaining value. [Only those on the verge of death can enter here. Are all the people in this village the living dead?]
She heard Wu Zongzi sneer with interest.
[Why not think in a more scientific direction? ] He said in the group.
At this moment, Guan Hongyan wanted to kill the riddle man very much.
It was you who talked about countless gods and ghosts at the beginning of this copy, and it is also you who is saying that we should think in a more scientific direction. Do you have a bad taste in enjoying other people's stupidity?
Bai Jinshu rested his chin on his hand and looked at Guan Hongyan's expression for a long time, as if she wanted to strangle him to death. Finally, he curled his lips and sent a message in the group: [The rules of this space are very interesting, no, very confusing.]
The rain in the mountains came quickly and went away quickly. In a short while, the rain outside had stopped. Teacher Sun grew up in the mountains, so he was naturally good at walking in the barren mountains. The remaining three exploration team members who had been chatting with him pretended to go out. Teacher Sun opened the window and looked. After thinking for a while, he said that he would go out first to see if the current situation of the deep pit was suitable for them to go, and asked them to wait in the wooden house and not come out.
When Teacher Sun left, Guan Hongyan, who had already been driven to death by curiosity, couldn't wait to ask, "What does it mean?"
Wu Zongzi shook the ball in his hand and tapped Lu Changfeng's position with his chin: "Do you know what Schrödinger's cat is?"
"It's a very classic physical experiment hypothesis," he continued without waiting for anyone to answer, "Put a cat and a radioactive substance with uncertain radioactivity in a sealed box. If the radioactive substance decays, the cat will die. If the radioactive substance does not decay, the cat will live."
“So before opening the box, no one knows whether the cat is dead or alive. So before opening the box, the cat is both dead and alive. And at the moment of opening the box… you can get one of the two results.”
He shook the ball and pointed at several female players in the team with the window of the ball: "Does it remind you of anything?"
"Thinking of it..." Yu Miaojiao suddenly felt a numbness on her back, "Change flowers and plants?"
There are only two genders in human beings: male and female. In mountain villages where medical technology is underdeveloped and the gender of the fetus cannot be known in advance, even pregnant women who have changed their flowers and plants can only know which of the two possible genders the fetus will be after giving birth.
"But this doesn't explain what's going on with the replacement of flowers and plants?" Guan Hongyan frowned, looked at the small ball in Wu Zongzi's hand, and sounded confused.
Yun Guang touched his chin and said, "You mean that changing the flowers and plants is like taking out the radioactive material from the box in advance, and not taking it out in advance? This behavior is actually a kind of interference with the experimental results?"
Wu Zongzi raised his eyebrows: "Smart."
"No, I don't understand it either," Yun Guang shook his head. "If you say this is absolutely scientific, then the sex of the fetus is fixed at birth. With the level of scientific research and technology in this world, there is no technology that can interfere with the sex that has been fixed in the chromosomes, and those pregnant women didn't actually take anything out of their bellies."
"But you have discovered the key to the problem..." Wu Zongzi pushed his glasses and revealed an extremely interested look, "You just lack some key knowledge reserves as clues."
He raised his head and wiped the blood oozing from his neck, then continued, "Do you know the double-slit interference experiment and the wave-particle duality?"
"In the field of quantum mechanics, observation can also affect the results of the experiment," he casually threw away the blood-stained napkin, expressionless like a scientist who had just finished a crazy experiment, "When there is an observer, there is one result, and the light passes through the slits on the cardboard and appears as a wave. When there is no observer, it becomes another result, and the result presented by the light is a particle. In fact, light is both a wave and a particle."
"If we say that in the Peach Blossom Spring village, the act of pregnancy is actually a cardboard, and the flowers and grass are actually two different observers, the cardboard will show one result when the flower observer is quoted, and another result when the grass observer is quoted. Then this can perfectly explain why changing flowers and grass is effective in that village, because they have indeed used this method to control the change of gender and achieve the effect of getting whatever result they want."
"Wait a minute... I'm confused," Guan Hongyan was stunned for a moment, "If that's the case, then... aren't those pregnant women a completely different species from the humans in the outside world?"
Light is both a wave and a particle, so a fetus can't be both a boy and a girl before it's born, right?
In this case, the initial chromosomes are uncertain, so how do they develop?
She looked at Wu Zongzi in confusion, and was shocked to find that Wu Zongzi nodded and made a nasal sound.
"Yes," he said nonchalantly, "all the people in Peach Blossom Spring are indeed not human."
Guan Hongyan felt like she was being played.
Since they are not human beings, what kind of science are you talking about?
Could it be just another humanoid race?
"I think... Zong Zi's meaning should be that there is also a scientific explanation for those people in Taohuayuan Village." Yun Guang patted Guan Hongyan and motioned her to sit down.
"Hasn't Xu Zichen already discovered the problem..." Wu Zongzi smiled meaningfully, "He has even sent all of them to the group."
Ball lightning?
Lu Changfeng began to stare blankly at what Xu Zichen sent in the group.
What does this mean?
"He discovered how Yu Yiming disappeared," Wu Zongzi shook his head slightly, "He was attacked by a ball of lightning that only attacks adult males."
"Then what?" Xu Zichen raised his head and asked.
“Then…” Wu Zongzi made an explosion gesture. “Under the attack of the ball lightning, he turned into white smoke that would turn into ashes if touched. His body turned into a quantum probability cloud, and his clothes and backpack quickly fell to the ground after losing his body, and were washed down the mountain by the rain and mud.”
"In this quantum probability cloud, he became a quantum ghost. Everything about him was uncertain. He was both alive and dead. He could be in either life or death when he appeared. He could be in any location in the probability cloud. The process of his appearance was likely to be interrupted by any unexpected visitor. But he was lucky enough to appear alive at the edge of the probability cloud. Then... because the attack happened so quickly, he had no idea that he was dead. He walked towards the village without knowing anything."
The boundary of the peach blossom forest that Yu Yiming cannot walk out of is not the boundary of the village, it is his boundary.
His quantum probability cloud, that's where it ends.
So he couldn't leave.
But the village was not at the midpoint of his probability cloud. He went down along the pool of water. If he kept going down and down, one day he would reach another boundary of his own.
"Hiss..." Lu Changfeng took a breath of cold air, "Then how did he, as a quantum ghost, get to the village?"
"Unless..." Yun Guang said slowly, "The place he entered was a larger quantum probability cloud."
"Zong Zi said that everything about quantum ghosts is uncertain. They may exist in any state, and may appear anywhere in the probability cloud. So if a probability cloud is very small, and the things that form this probability cloud appear uncertainly in it, then it will appear..."
"The well that jumps sideways repeatedly..." Xu Zichen raised his head as if waking up from a dream.
The repeated horizontal wells and the constantly changing houses are not because the village is alive, but because when the observers are not observing these objects, their probability clouds collapse randomly.
"So, we have been wandering in a group of quantum probability clouds for the past few days, living in a non-existent village?" Guan Hongyan pulled out a lollipop from the mall and bit it, and it broke into pieces. "No wonder we can't use the mall in there."
The Foundation said at the beginning that the signal contact in this space is not good. How good can the signal be inside a probability cloud?
"Hmm?" Wu Zongzi propped up his chin and thought for a while, "That depends on your definition of existence. If in your definition, something that cannot be seen does not exist, then this village does not exist at the moment. It only existed for a moment when Xu Zichen and I were on the verge of death."
“And if your definition of existence is that invisible things also exist, then it has always been here.” He shook his head with a sigh, “We have never left the barren mountains, and we have never left the village.”
"Then how do you verify your current inference?" Li Zhuan bit his lower lip. He had already called up the note page in the task panel and was quickly analyzing the outline of the rules in this copy.
None of them had any knowledge of quantum mechanics. Even if they searched Baidu, they could only follow Wu Zongzi's ideas instead of questioning his professionalism.
"Because human death is the process of changing from a strong observer to a weak observer," Wu Zongzi made a knife flower, "In order to prove that Peach Blossom Spring is related to quantum ghosts, I have already tried it once, and Xu Zichen also tried it, why don't you ask him."
"...Is it possible that it's because I don't know anything?" Xu Zichen pulled the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. "Who can guess this kind of rule? Anyone who encounters a place that sometimes appears and sometimes disappears will think it's related to ghosts and gods, right?"
The content of this assessment item is simply contrary to common sense and logic, and is extremely confusing. It requires very strong professionalism to interpret the shadow of the real rules from it.
Yun Guang let out a long sigh: "So we were able to see and enter there before because we were dying and became weak observers, and we can't see the village now because we are still alive and have become strong observers."
Yu Yiming, who disappeared on the barren mountain, and the son of a farmer in the village at the foot of the mountain, truly became part of the quantum ghost.
"The legend of that ghost is..." Yu Miaojiao couldn't help but ask.
"Is it the difference between observers?" Xu Zichen, who was sitting next to him, tried to say, "When you are alone, the observation effect will be weakened?"
"Because listening, smelling, filming, and recording are actually weak observations," Yun Guang whispered to Wu Zongzi for a few words, then raised his head and said, "while watching is strong observation. If you watch with a strong purpose, the observation effect will be stronger."
The people in Taohuayuan Village seem to live in the gap between time and space. Their existence can only be noticed inadvertently. Once their traces are noticed, the observation effect becomes stronger and the clues just discovered will gradually disappear.
“That’s why, for so many years, ghost stories have been circulating here intentionally or unintentionally, but no one has ever been able to tell the truth behind them.” Yun Guang murmured in a low voice.
"Because no one has ever truly seen them, and those who have seen them will never see them again when they come back for a second time with a strong purpose."
It was like Yu Yiming who captured a ghost during a live broadcast with no audience. When he wanted to come again, he could no longer find any trace of the ghost. If he had not been struck by ball lightning by accident, he would never have been able to see any supernatural phenomena on this mountain again in his life.
Because he already had the subconscious mind to mobilize his five senses to pay attention to his surroundings, under the effect of the strong observer, he would not notice anything.
Just like Teacher Hu, who has lived here for more than ten years and has not discovered any supernatural phenomena.
It’s like... Peach Blossom Spring.
Yun Guang suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Wu Zongzi.
"The first time a fisherman enters..."
The fisherman entered for the first time because he was on the verge of death like them. He didn't know that he was on the verge of death, nor did he know that the world in front of him had already changed as he was floating down the stream.
When he reached the end of the water source and the peach blossom forest, he passed through a stone cave and saw the Peach Blossom Spring for the first time, which left a significant mark in history.
But when he recuperated there for a few days and left again, he could no longer find the Peach Blossom Spring.
Those who come one after another to search for the utopia in the records do not know that they may be in the Peach Blossom Spring. It’s just that they are in the world of strong observers and have passed by the peach forest countless times.
Being able to enter the Peach Blossom Spring is never a matter of order. Walking along the stream was the fisherman's coincidence, and the heavy rain in the barren mountains was the opportunity for the appearance of ball lightning. In fact, what determines whether anyone can see the Peach Blossom Spring is always their observer status.
The naming of the foundation is the biggest clue in this space from the very beginning.
"Too cunning..." Guan Hongyan was stunned.
This is an examination copy that completely goes against any common sense, any habits, and any common sense.
The exploration team members who entered with a strong purpose would never be able to find any traces of the village here after coming out for the first time.
Because they have long been excluded from the world that can only be seen by weak observers.
But if they don't come out the first time, they are not quantum ghosts that can live forever in the quantum probability cloud. They are just weak observers who break in by chance, and they have not become weak observers of the quantum state. Once they die, they are really dead.
Just like the corpses at the bottom of the pit.
They might have entered that idyllic village when they were sick and dying, and how many of the "strangers who left the village" recorded in the village chronicles over the years had lost their lives without knowing anything.
If it weren't for Wu Zongzi's flash of inspiration, this would have been an unsolvable space.
If one does not have the corresponding professional knowledge and qualities, even if one finds something wrong, after coming out one will tend to deviate from the rules and move towards the realm of gods, ghosts and metaphysics.
From the beginning to the end, the rules of this space were extremely difficult to understand for the team members who had strong analytical abilities along the way.
Its core is extremely professional, extremely niche, and extremely directional.
In an instant, a layer of cold sweat broke out on everyone's back.
The audience on the barrage were also stunned:
[Oh shit, oh shit…]
[Fuck, this assessment space is too cruel...]
[Is this the legendary assessment that only has rules and no room for additional assessments... Is this the promotion assessment for the gods? ]
[Put me in there, give me nine lives, and I can die for you ten times. ]
[I was completely stunned.]
[The HR in the team went to a vacation space these days. It’s my first time doing HR and I don’t know much. Is it normal that I got frustrated while doing it? 】
[Back then, when I took the extra test on force and willpower, I just spent ten days and ten nights in it... Your rule-based tests are meant to kill people, right?]
[I admire my captain who was said to have only taken the rules exam even more...]
[I won’t say any more. My knees suddenly bent towards the direction of the team’s military advisor…]
[Family members, I just had a quarrel with the only big guy in the group who passed the rule assessment alone a few days ago. Could he have been planning to kill me quietly behind my back? ]
[May you be lucky. I feel like if you were a Taoist priest, you would have already died.]
[What kind of person must be able to go in the direction of science in a copy with such an obvious direction, and even get it right! 】
[Brother Taoist is one against seven, okay, everyone who has passed this assessment has to kowtow to him. ]
[I'll kowtow to him first. Please, brother. The team is full of idiots who only know how to rush in and act recklessly. Can you please be our brains? ]
【Can you come and be our brain +1】
[Can you come and be our brain +2]
[Can you come and be our brain +3]
…
And everyone on the screen was shocked and speechless after this series of analysis.
For the first time, everyone did not follow the convention of the senior team members, but instead handed the power to fill in the rules to Wu Zongzi, who was actually ranked very far behind.
"After you use up your three chances, we will continue to fill it up." Yun Guang said.
Looking at the extremely familiar rule filling interface in front of him, Wu Zongzi shook his head: "You don't need three."
"In this space, there are no rules for intruders," he laughed softly, "and what happens in this space is also extremely random."
"On a thunderous night, there is a possibility that we will be struck by a ball lightning that attacks adult humans and become one of the quantum ghosts," Bai Jin said.
"It is possible for us to spend a night on that rainstorm-ridden barren mountain, get down the mountain safely, and then see and hear the haunted forest with our own eyes and ears without knowing anything about quantum ghosts."
"Or we might be struck by lightning like this, accidentally fall into a deep pit, and briefly but life-threateningly enter the world of quantum ghosts."
"There have never been any specific rules in this space," he lowered his eyelashes and opened his input panel. "Science never imposes anything on people. It just states it."
[Outside the world of strong observers, the world composed of quantum probability clouds also exists. ]
The live broadcast room of the assessment project was suddenly closed.
And within the space, Teacher Sun, who was walking towards the exploration team members in the distance, gradually fell apart, and the world shook like ripples on water. Against the backdrop of this barren mountain, the structure of the Peach Blossom Spring village appeared in front of everyone for the first time.
Golden wheat waves.
Villagers walking back and forth.
Pregnant woman in floral dress holding a baby swaddle.
Gan Yong was walking in the fields carrying a load, his legs a little shaky.
There are also villages.
A village that is constantly changing.
Every moment, it changes its shape, and the people walking in it appear in the front, back, left, right, and center of the village, with their faces as usual.
Large patches of quantum probability clouds covered the barren mountain, the largest and farthest of which faintly extended in the direction of Hongjiang City.
That is Yu Yiming's probability cloud.
It couldn't see the boundaries, and didn't know where it extended to, but perhaps at the last moment when it turned into a quantum state, the last bit of subconsciousness allowed it to extend towards home.
Maybe one day, Yu Yiming's mother, who has never believed that her son is missing, will vaguely hear her son's voice at home.
She would wonder if there was something wrong with her ears, and the hearing aid working at her ear would transmit sounds from another world to her through its extremely precise electronic structure.
But when she reached the end of her life, she changed from a strong observer to a weak observer, and opened her eyes for the last time on her deathbed.
At that time, all her intellect and memory had disappeared into the abyss of death, and with her death.
The word "Mom" seemed to become clearer and clearer.
The author has something to say:
The last sentence comes from the ending of Liu Cixin’s “Ball Lightning”.
What Brother Zong said is Schrödinger's classic quote.
The original outline and the original copy summary can be found at @月渡寒塘含糖, and the structural diagram and floor plan mentioned in the outline are also at @月渡寒塘含糖, I will post them in the same thread
I really like the original storyline. Although I also like this ending, I still posted a copy of the original outline ending that I wrote in advance under the original outline on Weibo. I hope that through the outline, everyone can also feel what I wanted to express at the beginning (sigh)
Actually, after the revision, the summary that Hantang had written in advance for this very special copy seems to have lost its meaning. However, I still really want to put this paragraph in the main text, so I will post the revised version according to the current version:
This is the first time I have written a copy summary since the serialization of this book, and it is for this special copy.
Peach Blossom Spring is a quantum ghost. This copy actually describes quantum mechanics under the Copenhagen theory. The Copenhagen school's explanation of the two core assumptions - classical instruments and wave function collapse - is the core of this copy. To borrow a sentence, "Is the moon still the moon when no one is looking at it?" Under the Copenhagen theory, of course not. When no one is looking at the moon, the moon does not exist. This is the anti-causal idealism theory in this theory that I think can be used as a copy mechanism.
I don’t know if this core puzzle mechanism has shocked you, but all my friends who were spoiled by me in advance were shocked.
This idea has been around for a long time. I have always had a vague idea about how to use an absolutely metaphysical narrative to tell an absolutely scientific story.
Later, I read Liu Cixin's "Ball Lightning" and came into contact with the concept of quantum ghost for the first time. When I saw the settings of strong observer, weak observer, and quantum rose, I felt as if I had vaguely grasped the specific outline of this idea, but it was still based on the structure of this book and was still unclear.
Then I went to talk to my friend about the outline, and mentioned the plot of Lin Yun and the children. A photo was taken at some unknown time and was in Ding Yi's hands. Following this idea, Hantang suddenly thought of Taohuayuan. In an era when there were no cameras and information could only be transmitted through verbal expression, could Taohuayuan also be a utopia made up of quantum ghosts?
Liu Ziji of Nanyang, who has been searching for the Peach Blossom Spring but couldn't find it, is just like Hu Zhongtian who has been trying to prove that there are no ghosts on Peach Blossom Mountain for more than a decade. Their departure is not a regret, but a perfect ending. The Peach Blossom Spring really exists, it has always been there, and one day they will see it.
When they reach the end of their lives, they change from strong observers to weak observers, and open their eyes for the last time before they die.
