Chapter 388: World Line Story Tree
In fact, in Charlene's speculation, there are some irrational places in the first crossing.
For example, if she guesses that she was left behind in 2006 in the first time travel of the time machine, and Gao Jun and the time machine went to the world of α=1.000122, a question arises here, why did she come to the year 2006 in the α=0.8 segment in the same time travel, and Gao Jun and the time machine went to the world of α=1.000122?
The time machine recorder will be turned on and recorded after the time machine arrives at the destination, from the world recorded by the time machine, the world that this time machine jumps to reach for the first time is the world of α=1.000122, and it does not stop in the α=0.8 section, so the appearance of Charlene is a little unbelievable.
Charlene thought about it, but she could only attribute it to an inexplicable accident in the process of traveling, could it be that in the process of jumping into the long river of time, she was thrown out of the time machine, and then came to 2006 in the α=0.8 section?
Or maybe you didn't come to 2006 when the time machine traveled for the first time, but for the second time? In the records of the time machine, this time machine also made a second jump, starting from the world of α=1.000122 and ending in the world of α=0.8 block!
If Charlene came to the current world in the second crossing, then it makes sense within the scope of the world line, but at the same time, another problem arises - it doesn't make sense in time! You must know that in the second crossing, the time machine came directly to June 1993, and the human and material evidence is there. The time machine was also received into the basement by Su Caiwei.
And how did she appear in 2006?
Charlene reached out and rubbed her head, only to feel that she lacked a spiritual light. I can't even explain how I came to this world. At this time, how she wished that her father was by her side, his words. You will definitely be able to think of the answer to this question!
There is a law in the jump of the world line, that is, the one-to-one correspondence, for example, when Su Yuan came over by time machine, the original world was α=0.799920, and the world at that time had and only had α=0.799920, and her behavior of traveling to December 9, 2012 was actually refreshed on the basis of the world of α=0.799920. In layman's terms, the world of α=0.799920 is erased and replaced by the world of α=0.899210, and the two are in order. At the same time, there is also an inevitable order, α=0.899210 is the evolution of α=0.799920, and the time machine's travel point December 9, 2012 is an important time node of the two successive worlds.
New World α=0.899210, before December 9, 2012, it was exactly the same as the history of α=0.799920, refreshed, only after the crossing point.
Take, for example, the arrival of the time machine, from what is known now. The time machine was first built in the world of α=1.200011, which is also the starting point of the time machine! Then, according to the time machine records, it jumped to the world of α=1.000122.
After that, the time machine made another jump. This jump. The time machine came to the world of α=0.799920 in June 1993, and was hidden in the basement by Su Caiwei, and then in the world of α=0.799920. Su Yuan used it to make a third jump, and it came to α=0.899210. But be aware. Su Yuan's jump only came to December 9, 2012, and the history she changed was only the history after December 9.
Before this time. In the basement of her house, there is a time machine that has jumped for the second time!
In other words, the second jump of the time machine came to the two worlds of α=0.799920 and α=0.899210 at the same time, although they are two world lines, but before December 9, 2012, the history of these two world lines is exactly the same.
In terms of the meaning of existence, the world lines are parallel to each other, and they can form several constricted groups, that is, between the world line and the world line, they are also like things and people are divided into groups, and they can be relatively close, as if they are tied together with a rope, and they can also be separated relatively far, and they will not interact with each other.
What is closer is the convergence of the world line, which has a similar development trend and has a similar end point in the distant future; the relatively open is manifested in the independence of the world line, and their development does not have the sameness, and with the continuation of the time axis, the difference will become bigger and bigger.
For the world, the existence of the world line is just a representation of its development law, there is only one world, and at the same time, it can only show the plot within the world line. If the different world lines are integrated according to the development of the plot, and the historical segments on the world line are exactly the same, then they become lines that start from a starting point and continue to fork.
This model is called a story tree!
For example, in 1995, the world line was divided into the α world line and the β world line, and in 1997 α world line was divided into two world lines, α1 and α2, and at the same time, the β world line was also divided into β1 and β2 in 1997.
So what would happen if a scientist in the year 2035 of the α1 world built a time machine that could jump the world line and sent this time machine to 1996?
If the arrival of this time machine does not change history, it will appear in both the two worlds of α1 and α2 that are still bifurcated at the story tree level, and after the bifurcation, the time machine will appear in both the α1 and α2 worlds.α
But if this time machine changes history, then α1 and α2 have no chance to fork, because in 1996, when the time machine arrived, the development hopes of α1 and α2 were wiped out together, and the α branch has been presented as a new development α3 that is different from these two world lines!
The same thing. What if the time machine created by the α1 world traveled back to 1994, because the α and β world lines diverged in 1995. So either the time machine doesn't change history and appears in both the α branch and the β branch. Either α branch and β branch will be wiped out and replaced by a new bifurcation γ world line that has been in place since 1994!
The time machine used by Su Yuan has traveled three times, while the time machine in the current basement has only traveled twice, although the value of the world line displayed by them in the second crossing is different, but at the level of the story tree, they are the same time, but the specific situation is analyzed, and the data recorded by the recorder is different.
――――――――――――――――
At the beginning of the night, the surroundings are surprisingly quiet, and the evening breeze is waning. A gust of cold wind blew, which made people shiver, and this night was about to be restless.
Rabindranath Tagore said that if you weep because you lose the sun, then you will also lose the stars, and if you are depressed about missing the stars, then you will miss the moon again. It is attached to every point, but it is inactive.
Returning the time machine to the basement, Su Yuan and Xia Linfeng each remembered what was on their minds, and there seemed to be a thick obstacle in front of them. turned into pressure, bringing them a deep confusion. This examination of the time machine allowed them to uncover the corner of the obstacle. A new confusion rose in Zhuer's heart.
Su Yuan looked back at Charlene, who was stubbornly writing something in the notebook, and sighed softly. Turned his head to look out the window. I saw a white light blooming quietly in the dark curtain, and faintly heard the sound of the whirring wind.
"It looks like it's going to snow......" Su Caiwei walked over.
"Xiao Yuan and Ye Hao, they are also coming back for the New Year. Su Yuan said softly.
When the flowers are about to bloom, the red dust is too heavy. The old dream of the butterfly is too light, speaking of snow, she suddenly thought of the memory fragment that was remembered in the depths of her memory, it was a snowy night, the two walked on the street, one after the other stood in the snow, quietly, the girl raised her head.
This scene must be very beautiful in retrospect, and the corners of the crystal mouth unconsciously arced slightly.
……
February 9, Chinese New Year's Eve.
The months are exhausted, and the old is removed and the new is welcomed.
Su Mengyuan and Ji Ye Hao came back from Shanghai a few days ago, Su Caiwei was busy with solid-state energy all day long, and threw the cleaning work at home to Su Yuan, causing Su Yuan to become the daily manager of the Su family. Of course, she was not to be outdone, so she packed and assigned the task, and pulled Su Mengyuan, Ji Yehao and Xia Linfeng to start busy.
This year's Chinese New Year's Eve was in a moderate temperature, with a sharp crescent moon hanging in the night sky and stars dotting the deep sky. In the dark, there seems to be a very experienced chess player, quietly observing the night sky of the washing disc, and in a flash of inspiration, he throws a dazzling chess piece in a dark place.
On the first day of junior high school, I stayed at home.
In the second year of junior high school, Su Caiwei took Su Yuan and Su Mengyuan to visit relatives in various places. When they came back, Su Mengyuan went to visit relatives with Ji Yehao...... On the go.
Su Yuan had nothing to do at home, so he discussed with Xia Linfeng about the time machine, about how to avoid the leakage of technology, and the two used means to persuade Ji Ye Hao and others to transfer all the technology in the base to the basement through pit abduction. A key role in this is the "diary" created by the two of them to record the events of 2012 onwards.
After the transfer of science and technology, Su Yuan and Xia Linfeng also began to take a more active offensive, with the powerful functions of Alayah and Gaia's assistance, the Adam and Eve systems of the United States and even the intelligence network were dealt a heavy blow, so that the recent new network storm has caused a stir in world public opinion.
In order to avoid provoking themselves into flames, Su Yuan and Xia Linfang had no choice but to act as "terrorists" again, and published declarations on "jihad" on the Internet one after another, so as to confuse the public and lead this pool of muddy waters to the innocent al-Qaeda and the Islamic State organization, which is even more bloody and cruel than al-Qaeda in later generations.
Of course, al-Qaeda and ISIS are very happy to accept this "honor", especially the Islamic State organization, as a branch of al-Qaeda, has a tendency to be better than blue, and it was not taken seriously by the international community before this, but after this incident, it suddenly appeared in front of people all over the world.
The international community suddenly discovered that this self-proclaimed "Islamic State" organization, which claims to be the successor of al-Qaeda, has a strict organizational structure, and it is not a simple terrorist, but more like a political institution!
――――――――――――――――
"Sister, what are you thinking?"
Su Yuan quietly looked at the snowflakes that had fallen in the sky, he didn't know what he was thinking in his head, and suddenly heard the voice of the girl behind him, and subconsciously turned around, but suddenly felt a shock on his neck, and then a cold and piercing feeling extended down his neck to his chest.
"Hahaha......" Su Mengyuan laughed arrogantly.
"How dare you attack me!!"
I don't know if it was cold by the snowball, or angry by Su Mengyuan's sneak attack, Su Yuanqiao's face turned pale, squatted down to pick up a few handfuls of snow, and then carefully rolled on the ground and kneaded a snowball the size of a basketball.
As soon as Su Mengyuan saw this situation, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly ran towards home. Su Yuan was willing to spare her so lightly, and chased after her with a snowball.
……
The helplessness of life is not only that the sunset is fleeting and the years fade, but also that there are many unexpected things in life itself. (To be continued......)
