Someone once said that the content in science fiction novels is essentially nothing more than cyber witchcraft. Technical means that are too unrealistic are almost the same as witchcraft in the eyes of readers.
Lu Chen saw this view in a push on a social networking site. Lu Chen, who was still an undergraduate at the time, scoffed at this view and left a message under the push, "That's just because the education you received is not enough.
.As long as your knowledge coverage is broad enough and the content is deep enough - the concepts proposed in science fiction works are just 'concepts'."
If there was a time machine in this world, Lu Chen's first priority now would definitely be to go back to his sophomore year and strangle himself to death before sending this answer.
What a retarded thing!
Watching Mu Zhiran busy in the laboratory these days, Lu Chen's biggest feelings were two, "What the hell is this" and "What the hell is this".
Fortunately, there is a laboratory in the Institute of Immunology. At least Lu Chen has learned the iron rule of "never touch any experimental equipment unless you know what you are doing." Now in the entire Institute of Physics, the only experimental equipment Lu Chen can use is
Got a printer.
Even though it was so miserable, under the supervision of Tang's father, Lu Chen could not escape the torture. According to Academician Tang, "You are in the experimental group related to quantum physics, and you are studying the key project that the entire human society is most concerned about -
—It’s unreasonable that you don’t understand anything about quantum mechanics in such an important topic and such a serious project!”
The elder dare not resign, so Lu Chen inexplicably had the illusion that his father-in-law was tugging at his ears and telling him about his fate.
As this life of darkness continues, Lu Chen's daily work becomes the key to saving him. A doctor in the rheumatology and immunology department actually looks forward to visiting the hospital every day. This shows the power of quantum mechanics. While he was happily discussing the paradox of "allergies" and "enhancing immunity to make the body better" with patients in the outpatient clinic, Lu Chen's clinic door was suddenly pushed open violently.
Watanabe, who was twice as thin as two weeks ago, appeared at the door. With dark circles under his eyes, he said to Lu Shen, "Doctor Lu, I need your help."
"If you have an emergency, please go to the emergency room. I have finished my registration today - there is no extra number." For such a guy who once pressed himself to the ground and tied him into a rice dumpling, Lu Chen would be polite if he didn't just scold him. He rolled his eyes and said
, "Please wait outside - I haven't finished communicating with the patient yet."
Who wants to deal with this kind of person!
Watanabe was not angry at all. He looked at Lu Shen very calmly and asked, "Are you sure I want to wait outside?"
After getting the second confirmation from Lu Chen, Watanabe didn't say anything. He took out the green work permit. The work permit just flew back and forth in his hand, like a huge green grasshopper flapping its wings.
.
Lu Chen wanted to continue to delay, but the aunt who was seeing a doctor stopped staying in the room. She even said clearly to Lu Chen, "I would rather be hospitalized again than let the people from the investigation bureau worry about it." p>
Being directly disturbed by Watanabe, Lu Chen rolled his eyes and asked, "Why do you have to trouble a poor attending like me? Brother Yang is already a consultant at your place, isn't he? Ask him if you have anything."<
/p>
"Don't have personal emotions when working with your hands." Watanabe said very calmly, "Professor Yang suggested that we consult your opinion - he believes that you should be the most professional person in this field."
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, "You want to learn quantum mechanics? The most I can do is tell you about bosons. I haven't understood fermions yet..."
"It's related to quantum mechanics, but it's not about this." Watanabe's eyes twitched twice, and he squinted and asked, "Dr. Lu, how did you come up with the concept of 'quantum infectious disease'?"
"A reasonable guess." This puzzling question made Lu Chen a little confused about how to answer. "Zhiran said that during the experiment, she found that some brain tissue samples from patients with major collapse had abnormal electron spin direction detection." p>
"Why does the abnormal spin direction of electrons cause disease?" Watanabe took out a notebook and began to write and draw on it. "According to your hypothesis, Dr. Lu, the abnormal spin direction of electrons outside the lithium atom will cause
If a big collapse occurs, what about other atoms? What are the consequences of changes in the spin direction of their electrons?"
Lu Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "This is the question we hope to answer through experiments - but so far, there are no results."
"What about other atoms? Do we need to worry about it?" Watanabe asked again, "Is it possible to conduct a general check on other atoms?"
"This is unlikely." Lu Chen may not be able to answer other professional questions. But on this question, Lu Chen has really learned something in the past two weeks - including Mu Zhiran's "electron spin"
The principle of "direction detection" system.
The electron is such a tiny substance that it is almost impossible to directly observe its properties. Therefore, Mu Zhiran chose the indirect observation method, which is simpler, more convenient, and more traditional and mature. p>
Mu Zhiran's system is divided into three parts: "evaporation furnace", "controllable deflection magnetic field" and "collector". After the sample enters the evaporation furnace, the evaporation furnace will completely burn the sample to ashes in a very short time——
And in the green smoke of these ashes, a very small amount of elemental elements remain.
These elemental elements will enter a controllable deflection magnetic field in an almost complete vacuum environment. This magnetic field can exert a non-uniform magnetic influence on the green smoke containing elemental elements.
This magnetic influence can interact with the electrons in the outer layer of the element. But it can only affect elements containing a basic number of electrons - the outer electrons of elements with an even number of protons are in pairs and can cancel each other out because the electron spins
Magnetic moments produced by different directions.
An odd number of electrons means that the element must have an electron whose magnetic moment has not been canceled out. This magnetic moment will be amplified by the uneven magnetic field, eventually hitting the collector and leaving a "trace".
Through the shapes of these traces, Mu Zhiran was able to determine the rotation direction of individual electrons in this batch of atoms.
"Even-numbered protons cannot be measured, and odd-numbered protons can be measured, but the effect is not very good - after all, a large number of samples are needed to generate a result dot matrix. The dot matrix itself still needs to be interpreted to get the answer..." Lu Chen tried hard to explain.
, "There are more than one hundred elements, and only half of them can be checked at most. This has no meaning at all."
Watanabe seemed a little surprised when he received this answer. He thought for a while and then chose to give up and continue asking, "Professor Yang is now subject to confidentiality control. I am just a middleman - I have to check some issues with him after I go back."
I’ll ask you again later.”
Lu Chen secretly rolled his eyes. He really didn't know what could be "controlled" about this kind of thing. Dr. Mu's experiments haven't produced results yet, and even if Brother Yang kept talking about it without any control, he wouldn't do it.
What big impact will it have on the experiment?
After all, there are many places in the world that can perform electron rotation measurement experiments, but only the Institute of Physics of Chung-Ang University can complete the determination of electron rotation direction with such high efficiency as Mu Zhiran.
"How about you ask Brother Yang to call me directly?" Lu Chen thought for a while and suggested, "There are your people over there, and you are watching over here - there is no need to worry about the content and direction of our experiment being leaked." "We are worried about other issues." Watanabe looked at Lu Chen with an expression like he was looking at a fool, "Let ordinary people know that the Great Collapse is related to quantum mechanics, at most it will only cause social panic. But if those religious extremists know
, the consequences are disastrous."
Lu Chencai realized that he still had such an idea, but he still felt that the risk was not great, "I don't think that group of anti-scientific ultra-religious people can achieve large-scale long-distance quantum entanglement preparation. To be honest, big
Large-scale, indirect, and long-distance preparation of entangled quanta, this miraculous technology can already weaponize quantum."
Watanabe stared at Lu Chen quietly, and then said, "Thomas is probably an extreme religious person."
"The so-called extreme religiousists are not necessarily illiterate or people who have never received higher education - in fact, those extreme religiousists who have caused the most serious damage to the entire society... they are often
He has a very proud educational background." When talking about his professional content, Watanabe seemed very confident and natural. "If there is any group that can pose a huge threat to the coalition government, it is only these extreme religious elements."<
/p>
"Since they are so powerful, why do they still want to engage in religion?" Lu Chen was confused by the conclusion drawn by Watanabe, "Isn't it good to just engage in academics?"
"Because religion can provide them with purposes, needs, and even answers that the show cannot provide." Watanabe said gloomily, "Extreme religion promises them that after all humans die due to the Great Collapse, they can live with themselves in heaven.
Meeting relatives who have died in the Great Collapse—this alone is enough to shake most people.”
"Who wouldn't be moved?" Lu Chen sighed. If there was a chance to see their dead relatives again, humans would even be willing to start another war.
Everyone, everyone in the world has had at least one relative who died in the Crash. Given the suddenness of the disease and the extremely short time between onset and death... the need to see a loved one again will certainly be felt.
Ridiculously high.
Especially after the coalition government banned any AI from playing dead humans in order to reduce the incidence of mental illness related to the Great Collapse. The longing, sorrow and pain that cannot be released due to the death of loved ones... have become the most secret and deepest in this society.
A sore that cannot be touched.
The air in the consulting room became heavy, and Watanabe's nose was a little red because he thought of a relative who died due to the collapse.
He sniffed and said in a stuttering tone as if he was trying to cover himself up, "Professor Yang suggested that we should let you take another look at the video of the medical recorder - there may be some things in it that we have overlooked.
details."
"Professor Yang said this. If the Big Collapse is a quantum infectious disease, then maybe this explosion is too." Watanabe spoke with a nasal voice, sounding as if he had a cold. "After all, a quantum infectious disease is nothing like Ultraman."
Viruses sound much more realistic."
Lu Chen rolled his eyes, why don't you say that quantum infectious diseases are witchcraft? Anyway, these two things are the same - invisible and intangible, and they will occur when they are said to occur.
