I got excited when I thought that there might be secrets in that cave that we had never discovered before. I poked at Li Fusheng and motioned for him to find an excuse to go over and take a look, but Li Fusheng secretly shook his head at me, and then he talked to Lao Shi
The worker said, "You can handle this matter yourself. We haven't seen anything and we don't care about anything."
"Yes, yes." The honest worker was relieved: "This is the best. Don't worry, boss, our mine will definitely be fine, no problem."
"Arrange a place for us to stay. We'll wait here for your boss to come back and then talk about the specific matters." Li Fusheng said, "We'll stop by the mine to take a look these days."
"It's easy to say, the place is ready."
We followed the honest worker to a row of small houses not far away. The honest worker lit a stove for us to boil water, took two more quilts, and then started making food. After he left, Li Fusheng
I said: "If you go and look now, you won't see anything. It will make them suspicious. I guess this mine is so remote and it is mainly blasting gangue. There is no one to guard it at night. Let's wait and go there after nightfall to take a look."
look."
We had dinner first, and the honest workers came over to chat with us for a while. They were people who did heavy physical work. After a busy day, they couldn't stand it anymore at night and went to bed very early. As Li Fusheng expected,
All the workers were sleeping and no one was keeping watch. We packed up our things, quietly left the house and ran to the foot of the mountain.
The hole blown by the explosives is more than three meters wide. The hole is vertically downward, like a huge deep well. Looking down from the outside of the hole, it is indeed not very clear. It may be a light problem, or it may be underneath the hole.
There is nothing at all. Li Fusheng looked at the time. If we go down, we should try to come back before dawn to avoid suspicion by the workers. However, if the situation is unexpected and we cannot go back in time, we can only break the pot.
The cave wall was rough and had great undulations. Kuang Haige was left on top to keep watch. He refused, fearing that he would be in danger if he went down. However, if we went deeper and encountered a large number of shadow creatures, only I could deal with them.
We fixed the rope, and then Li Fusheng tentatively went down. After the safety signal was sent back, I also climbed down. In fact, the hole was only about 20 meters deep, and a rope was used halfway to the bottom.
When we stood at the bottom of the cave, it actually seemed like we were standing on the top of a high slope. Below the high slope was a vast underground space. Li Fusheng and I walked down from the top little by little, feeling that the air was cold and damp. From our current position
, the space extends towards the north. I don’t know what is hidden in this space. Because of the life form that was killed by the bomb I saw before, my nerves are tense subconsciously, and I am very careful every step I take.
.
This kind of underground cavity is undoubtedly the product of the orogeny and is so ancient that it cannot be traced back. The fifth pole of the world has always been mysterious. Li Fusheng once said that the area of some extremely huge underground cavity is beyond imagination.
The cave is even big enough to form completely different climate characteristics from the outside world. In a cave like that, anything can happen.
We walked slowly for more than 100 meters, and the terrain continued to extend downward. Gradually, the surrounding area seemed to level off. After walking for another 200 meters or so, we vaguely heard the sound of running water, which was not very loud. Here we heard a faint sound of running water.
For planting on the surface and in areas with a very arid climate, there is actually no shortage of underground water sources. I feel that there should be an underground river ahead.
The underground river is not very far away from us, and we reached it quickly. It is a very small underground river, but the direction of this underground river is almost the same as the direction of the underground river under Shiyan River. At this time
At this moment, seeing a river running in the same direction in such a dark and silent environment, I couldn't help but think of the things that happened in Shiyan River, and my heart began to feel sour, and I almost wanted to cry.
Only I know that in the deepest part of my heart, I can never forget some past events. Maybe it is because I can’t forget the tears shed by “Fake Chen Yu” and the words he said before he died that I can remember the story of Shiyanchuan.
Everything is firmly imprinted in my memory. That kind of memory is indelible. Perhaps, these memories will be in my mind until I die.
Thinking of these, I was slightly in a trance. The fake Chen Yu has disappeared, but where is the real Chen Yu? Where is she now? How is she doing?
"What are you thinking about?" Li Fusheng stood on the edge of the underground river and interrupted my train of thought.
"Nothing." I shook my head regretfully. Those things and people have passed. Once they have passed, they will never come back. I have never been able to explain clearly what kind of emotions I had between the two Chen Yus.
I have thought more than once that if something unexpected happened in Shiyanchuan, would the fake Chen Yu not die?
"I don't know how deep this river is. The current is not fast. If it is not deep, you can just float across it." Li Fusheng took a piece of rope and tied it to a stone, probably to measure the approximate depth of the underground river.
"I want to ask you something." I squatted next to him and thought for a long time before I said, "Do you know how replication occurs?"
"copy?"
"To be specific, it's a copy of the human body." I pointed to myself and said, "For example, now suddenly there is another person who is exactly like me. You don't understand, after so many years, there are countless you.
They are copied and appear in the outside world one after another. But the kind of copying I am talking about is not limited to black holes."
"Have you ever seen a similar situation?" Li Fusheng asked: "Replication generated outside a black hole?"
"I've seen it." I nodded: "I have been copied, but I don't understand what that kind of copying is. Is it a simple copy? Or is it another form of rebirth? Copying is very dangerous. If I am copied
, then only one can survive between me and the replicator. You know, not everyone is like you and has a firm belief that will not waver for two thousand years."
I told Li Fusheng about the copying phenomenon that happened in Shiyanchuan, the emergence and ending of several copies, but I deliberately deleted the Chen Yu section. I didn’t want to mention it too much.
It's sad. I think Li Fusheng should have a deeper knowledge and understanding of copying than anyone else. After all, he relies on these to "survive" in reality.
"I have thought about this question more than once. I can't find a particularly reliable and specific answer. It is just a guess. This guess may not be correct, but so far, I can only think of these." Li Fusheng said: "You
You should know about cloning, the asexual reproduction of single cells, which is the closest scientific research achievement to replication that humans have ever developed."
"But the replication in the black hole, and the replication that Shiyanchuan once produced, seem to be different from cloning." Naturally, I have also considered cloning, but cloning also needs to start from a embryo and gradually grow into an adult, which takes a long time.
, and the copies of the black hole and Shiyanchuan were produced almost within a few hours.
"You have to keep one thing in mind. If you remember this and use it as a criterion in certain aspects, then you will change your view of the world." Li Fusheng looked at the flowing river and said: "Except for the human heart
, you should not doubt anything and everything in this world, no matter how strange it is, if you are sure that it is not your hallucination, it means that it has already happened. If it has happened, then it is reasonable. Many things nowadays are explained
I don’t know, it’s just that the angle we are standing at is wrong. The angle of thinking is very important. For example, if you stand under a skyscraper and look up at it, and you look down at it from high in the sky, the image captured visually is different, right?
"
I roughly understand what Li Fusheng means. In fact, if you change it, it is a very simple truth.
"Can you tell me your guess?" I asked Li Fusheng. He was relatively modest. Sometimes he said it was just an inference, but his inferences were all the result of careful consideration. But as for copying, I
I find it very complicated. After all, Li Fusheng is a human being, not a god, so I still want to hear his conclusion first.
"Want to talk about this?" Li Fusheng simply sat down by the river bank and said, "We still have some time, don't worry, since you mentioned this issue, we might as well talk about it."
I also sat next to him and handed him a cigarette. For me now, Li Fusheng plays the role of a bodyguard and a tutor, which has benefited me a lot. This is related to his "life span" and experience.
, I estimate that if there are no accidents, he should be one of the most knowledgeable people in the world.
"Before we talk about this, I would like to remind you one more thing." Li Fusheng smoked a cigarette and said: "There are some things that you just need to know. After all, the topics we are talking about are extremely advanced. Don't confine yourself.
Thinking, but you must control your words and deeds. Misfortunes will come from your mouth. This is not true at all. If you speak freely and are in this era, but predict what will happen five hundred or even a thousand years later, you
What will happen? In ancient Europe, such people would be regarded as heretics. Even now, you may be noticed by some people or institutions and cause unnecessary trouble. Remember? These things will stay with you.
In my own heart."
"Understood." I smiled and nodded. Li Fusheng said it very seriously, but I knew he meant well. I believe that at the earliest, he said some things that he shouldn't have said, which led to the problems in his life.
The biggest tragedy then affected his future destiny: "I don't want to be a scientist, and I don't want to write a paper on this. I just want to know."
"That's good, let's officially start the topic of copying." Li Fusheng took a puff of cigarette and said, "My speculation is actually not complicated."
