Son of the Stars

Chapter 44 Coincidence
Scientific research does not believe in coincidences, or rather, a series of coincidences.

This is not a matter of scientific attitude. If you must go deeper, it may be a matter of probability-are you willing to take the risk to believe that one in ten million continuous miracles will happen, or believe in 99.9999% after careful and careful analysis? % probability... These two options can't even form the stem of the multiple-choice question.

The gap is really too big.

Lu Chen and Yang Weimin also thought so—non-malignant hyperthermia, persistently extremely high fever, which lasted for four days, and after the patient had opisthotonos, the entire field hospital was blown up by an explosion equivalent to several hundred tons of TNT.

This looks and sounds like a manifestation of Quantum Release Syndrome.

"However, we did not find events that were completely consistent with the Great Crash, or no consistent mass events." Lu Chen explained at the group meeting, "There are many mass suicides. Those who think the world is nothingness and commit suicide with the concept of persecution There are also many people. However, because of the belief that the world is nothingness, there is a case of mass suicide without contact with each other...the London Post Office case is the first.”

"We still can't rule out the possibility that the Great Crash may have occurred in the human population long ago, but it was marked by the London Post Office case, and the incidence rate in the next five years was ridiculously high." Director Li Xiaohui said, "My research is also a bit Discovery——If we take the supernova explosion in 1054 as the separation node, we can clearly find a feature: After that, the collective confrontation in human history has increased significantly. The conflict between civilizations has increased significantly. And the intensity has also increased.”

She frowned and said, "I'm not a historian, and I don't know if there is any research on this aspect. But there are two suspicious points, and I plan to share them with you."

"The first point is that there is absolutely no record of the outbreak of SN-1054 in the European region." Li Xiaohui said, knocking on the table, "There are relevant records in other regions and civilizations, including the entire Asian region and sub-sub-Asian region, the primitive cultures of China and the United States, and The African region. Only the European region has no record of this."

"I personally prefer that people who were ruled by religion dare not record. After all, the East and West churches split within a few days after the warning from heaven." Director Li Xiaohui said helplessly, "But this is just a speculation, and there is not enough evidence."

"What about the second one?" Academician Tang Qinglong asked curiously.

"The second doubtful point conflicts with my speculation and Dr. Mu's discovery." Director Li Xiaohui said, "According to the known observation results, the external electrons of the lithium atoms in the brains of patients with major crashes are all spinning downwards. Yes. This means that the outermost electrons are also spinning down - which certainly makes the phenomenon of exchanging electrons to create bonds somewhat difficult."

"Under the influence of this kind of difficulty, I speculate that this is equivalent to the impact of the entire human population. This effect can be approximated as a decrease in the concentration of lithium in human brain tissue." Li Xiaohui said her professional Content, anyway, it doesn’t matter whether other people can understand it or not. “This decline will lead to increased mood swings, and people are more likely to be agitated or angry. But it should have destructive results.”

"However, when viewed in a historical context, those kings, emperors, high-ranking officials and nobles...even ordinary civilians seem to have become more united than before." Speaking of this, Li Xiaohui's expression became confused—she really couldn't think Understand, "Why is it that the group is more united than ever when everyone is more irritable?"

This kind of question is destined to be unanswered. After all, among the crowd present, the only player who can answer this question is Li Xiaohui herself.She couldn't figure it out, and the others didn't even have a clue.

"Then, today's group meeting will come here first. Everyone should draw up their own research directions..." Tang Qing said after a pause, "Watanabe should be back today. I hope he can bring us some good news."
-
Watanabe, who flew at an altitude of 3000 meters in a hypersonic business jet, had red eyes and messy hair like a chicken coop.

The academic committee is very pleased with the progress of the research group-but also very dissatisfied.The old buddies in the North American Research Institute have been trained very well. At present, they can already start to operate the equipment through the simulator.Next, as long as the experimental design inspection is completed, these brothers can be regarded as truly qualified experimenters.

At the same time, the committee expressed dissatisfaction with the research progress of the experimental group brought by Watanabe.

When Watanabe left the North American Research Center, the group research had just begun.At that time, Lu Chen and Yang Weimin were still digging through the medical records from decades ago—not to mention finding out, they hadn't even found the records of the field hospital.

Of course, the academicians of the academic committee also expressed their understanding.After learning that under the leadership of Academician Tang, Lu Chen and others have started research in different fields, the academicians fully affirmed this behavior.

It's just that the words used for affirmation are not very nice.

Subsequently, the two academicians in the field of physics quarreled again.This time, the reason for the dispute between the two is "quantum field" versus "string theory". These two are also theories of everything, and the two academicians happen to be loyal fans of the two theories.

The two academicians had a heated debate on "what kind of medium is the influence of SN-1054 on human beings?"Academician Howard, who supports quantum fields, firmly believes that there are and only gravitons can achieve this effect.The current discovery means that the existence of gravitons is about to be confirmed—the last kind of elementary particle is about to be confirmed, and the quantum field theory of everything is the truth.

After hearing this argument, Academician Shabako, who has been working on string theory all his life, turned his lips and spat out the word "fart".

"Things that even the perturbation theory cannot be strictly applied, this kind of truth is worse than a piece of shit." Sabako waved his hand, his white teeth seemed to be shining against the contrast of his skin, "If you want to accept the truth, string theory It's the real future..."

Watching the two academicians getting closer and closer, Watanabe slobbered at each other, and at the end they fought together and were tied back "gently and firmly" by the AI ​​robot at the same time, his face was covered in cold sweat.

Academician Shabake is 1.9 meters tall, academician Howard has a body fat rate of only 17%, but weighs 95 kg.The two really fought, and Watanabe felt that he might not be able to hold back without the premise of non-lethal weapons.

Seeing the two colleagues being gently pressed to the ground by the robot, Academician Yuan rolled his eyes and said to Watanabe, "We have experience in this area of ​​research, please tell Xiao Tang and his team—we will try our best to let other Eligible teams have joined the research in this area. They just do their best, and there is no need for any psychological pressure."

Watanabe nodded yes, and then asked, "The Sicilian I met outside the base before..."

"He can't go out for the time being, and the health committee said that he will be further inspected." Academician Yuan suddenly realized after hearing "Sicilian", "The health committee suspects that he has lived in a strong radiation area for a long time, and may have had some kind of mutation - a more detailed medical examination is needed to determine his physical fitness."

"Ms. Mizuki Rumiko..." Watanabe asked cautiously, "Can she participate in the experiment?"

"You also know the rules." Academician Yuan didn't speak, but Academician Petrov, who was in the field of clinical medicine, refused, "Academician Tang's research group and research content are currently the most confidential projects, that Rumiko... ...she's a cultist."

After receiving the final answer from the committee, Watanabe re-boarded the plane to North America with a swollen head—almost none of his requests for instructions this time were achieved.The only good news is that Giuseppe Piano successfully passed the background check of the General Bureau of Investigation.At the same time, Watanabe also figured out the root cause of the racism of the doctor of mathematics.

Mr Piano was raised by his grandmother as a child.And the grandmother herself was once the chairman of the well-known National Democratic Party in the Florida Peninsula.Giuseppe Piano's grandmother and her party had won a majority in the state legislature before the crash.And was ordered to disband three times in a row by the federal government.

After the crash, the grandmother survived.Ms. Piano, who has seen too much life and death, finally gave up her political views and just concentrated on raising her grandson.

Other problems are fine, except that the problem of racial discrimination can't be changed-it wasn't until Giuseppe was taken away by the child protection agency that the situation improved slightly.

"So, the good news is that Giuseppe's racist tendencies are already very weak - he just said that out of habit." Back at the North American Studies Center, Watanabe, who participated in the third group meeting, brought such a statement "Good news", and got a bunch of blank eyes.

"I have some new progress here to report to you." Tang Qinglong stood up and said, "Yesterday, we tested some of the animal samples we collected, among which the lithium in pig brain, dog brain and horse brain samples Element rotation directions are normal random."

"We have to rethink the mechanism of this disease—quantum mechanical contagion can't keep species segregated."
