Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 372 Lagrangian Time
The research institute of Miskatonic University has never obtained such an experimental sample - a rift that is separated from the normal space of this world and leads to a deeper world.

The preciousness of this kind of thing is unpredictable, but the rarity is the top level in the extraordinary world.

According to some previous studies by the University of Midwest, the rift leading to the deeper world is very unstable. It will appear and disappear at any time. Researchers cannot predict the law of its appearance and disappearance, and even the simple interval time cannot be calculated— —

Even in the scientific research on the extraordinary side, there is no function that can be applied to the parameters captured by the researchers from the crack.

The group of researchers at the Rice University Research Institute back then were almost all members of the Conservative Party. They were restrained in their work and did not make rash predictions, let alone enter into it, and were not prepared to investigate it.

The research on the rift has reached an impasse, and fortunately, this impasse did not last long——

Before the graduation season two months later, Joseph Lagrange, a class two of the third year of the 169th Department of Anomaly Biology at the University of Michigan, summed up the formula for calculating the difference in time velocity curvature in the world on both sides of the rift.

Fortunately, some of the graduates of the second class of the third year were very well-known. In order to make their graduation project research more perfect, they used forces outside the school to put pressure on the school.

Soon, the pressure from outside the school forced the researchers to start studying the cracks, and the students of the second class of the third year of the 169th class also participated in it.

With Joseph's formula, later people only need to substitute the variables collected near the rift into the formula together with the time in this world to calculate the time difference between the time in the rift and the time in this world.

After getting the time difference, with a little calculation, you can get the current time corresponding to [the time of the deeper world].

In this way, people can know whether the time in the [Deeper World] is slower or faster than the current world at this point in time.

It can also accurately calculate, if it is faster or slower, how much faster or slower——

After a week of data parameter calculation and collection and analysis, it was discovered that the time flow rate in the [Deeper World] is not fixed——

Time will continue to change within an interval, and at the end of the interval, it will converge with the time in this world.

The end point of the previous time interval is the start point of the next time interval.

The time elapsed in this interval, ranging from 1 hour to 2 hours, can be calculated by Joseph's function formula.

The researchers came to a conclusion from this:
[The time in the deeper world is divided into countless intervals, and the time in each interval will coincide with the time in the real world at a "certain moment". 】

Later researchers named this conclusion "Lagrange's first law".

And the "moment" when the deeper world and the present world overlap is named "Lagrangian time".

Afterwards, the researchers engaged in a week-long heated debate.

In the end, the new generation of students gained the upper hand in both academic and external environments, and those conservative researchers had to cooperate with them and began to explore the cracks.

"Lagrangian time" has great significance.

In the practical exploration, the students verified the original prediction——

Only at the moment when "Lagrangian Time" appears, the researchers in this world can contact the explorers in the deeper world through radio waves.

In addition to "Lagrangian time", if contact is made at other times, the information during wireless communication will be lost, or incomplete, or even mixed with some strange things.

After more and more researchers went crazy because of those "strange things", the University of Midland Research Institute temporarily suspended the communication activities between different world levels outside the "Lagrangian Time".

The researchers were relieved, but the students mostly expressed regret.

They didn't care how many people went crazy because of the experiment, except for one of the poor students named Barbarossa who protested, others even tried to restart "Lagrange Time" by increasing external pressure, Communication activities between different world layers.

They almost succeeded—if it wasn’t for an old senior who “just happened” to go back to school to catch up with the teacher, then “just happened” to discover this incident, and “just happened” to get the detailed records of the experiment, more people would have died tragically. During the experiment.

This old senior is named William Master. Although he has graduated for many years, with his outstanding academic research results and his title of professor, he has always occupied the Star Observatory of the Department of Astrology, and has been in contact with some management staff of the University of Rice Research Institute. Personnel are closely related.

'William Master is so fucking interesting, he not only intervened in their experiment, but also conducted his own experiment on top of their follow-up experiment-I don't know what it is, but I can think of it without thinking , that was the root cause of their ultimate failure. '

Wish has always gloated over such things, she is like a bad child who likes to watch the excitement, any "broken" or "bad" things can arouse her curiosity and laughter.

'With the intervention of William Master, they performed a final experiment. '

'It is worth mentioning that the last experiment record is already very blurred, because the experimenters present, including those precious experiment records, were all involved in the rift where the mutation occurred. '

'The students in that class also suffered heavy casualties. Except for one student named James Adams who survived intact, the others were dead, injured, crazy, crippled, crippled, perverted... '

Seeing Wish, Chen Yan wanted to continue uttering those wonderful adjectives, but couldn't hold back anymore, so she stopped her.

'It's the real situation, what can't be said. '

Wish continued:

'Those injured students who survived by chance, even if they relied on the extraordinary medical treatment of the University of Midtown to continue their lives, they still didn't live like human beings. '

'The part of the record kept in the library of the University of Mimi was recorded by people outside the laboratory at that time based on the sounds made in the laboratory, so it has been distorted and cannot be used as a reference material. We can only make some guesses based on that thing. . '

Wish emphasized:
'So, I said that this incident happened very suddenly, and people later have no way of knowing the process of its occurrence, they can only know the result of [the cracks have changed, the laboratory has been destroyed, and the students have suffered heavy casualties]. '

'The changes in the rift have affected the present world. In order to eliminate these effects, Mida made great efforts to throw the entire laboratory where the changes occurred deep underground, far away from the human world. '

Chen Yan frowned:
"Can you still do this? Don't those people in Mida do things without considering the consequences?"

wish said:

'Hey (twice), don't tell me, people's way of thinking is like this - any effort other than scientific research and experimentation is unnecessary, not to mention how many extraordinary phenomena there are in the world?The evil gods, big and small, in Yanan City also caught a lot of them, but it was just a crack, how much impact could it have on the present world?No matter how big it is, can it be bigger than those evil gods? '

'Ahem, anyway, that's all for Mida's affairs. '

Chen Yan had nothing to say.

'What happened after that was recorded by an ordinary student. '

A few years later, the failed experiment that happened in the Institute of Rice University has been buried in the dust, and no one knows about it.

Another graduation season a few years later—about 15 years ago today, a third-year student in the Institute of Paleontology Research chose the graduation project titled "Evolutionary Impact of Stratigraphic Evolution on the Evolution of Ancient Extraordinary Organisms" .

He applied for an unremarkable piece of land at school, and a rock-type supernatural creature named [Spherical Tunguska], and then began to dig down.

Who would have thought that after digging, strange things will be dug out.

According to the description in his notes, when he was more than 100 meters underground, he dug up some moss-like spore organisms, and those spore organisms showed strong vitality—this kind was not recorded in the textbooks of Mida. Spore organisms that live in rock formations deep underground.

Realizing that he might have discovered a new species, he happily collected some moss spores and prepared to return to his laboratory for research.

He recorded these words in detail in his notes:

"These moss spores are so active they are almost self-moving.

Cautiously, I gave it a simple social behavior test, and the results were mind-boggling:
These spores displayed strong social behavioral characteristics.

That is, they are conscious.

I am therefore trembling, these small things may become my graduation project research, and may become a new beginning of modern geology!
Further research is needed. "

' Then, something went wrong. '

Wish went on to describe:
"Spherical Tunguska seems to be sick. It has a high fever. I tried to cool it down physically, but with little effect.

That evening, the spherical Tunguska left my laboratory.

When I found it on campus the next day, it was standing on an oak tree with its eyes closed and its body shaking slightly.

I called out its name, and then saw it open its eyes with a blank look in them.

It just...was it sleepwalking?
Does a creature like Tunguska also dream?
In communicating with it, it told me with its simple body language that it hadn't left my lab and that it slept after I slept last night.

That is to say, it really has symptoms of sleepwalking.

This made me panic. The spherical Tunguska sleepwalked, could it be because of... those moss spores?

But I also came into contact with those spores, why didn't I sleepwalk?
I may need to inform the teachers. "

Wish stops here.

'By the way, this person is indeed an ordinary person, with no background, and his studies are also average-he encountered this incident entirely because of bad luck. '

"At five o'clock the next morning, I was woken up on campus. "
