Chapter 2: The World of the Future (Part II)
Without meeting your future self, this kind of thing is difficult to define.
What does it mean not to meet your future self? Through a mask, through a Gundam, across a wall, or through a screen, you don't meet your future self? This kind of thing can't be explained in some simple way. Fundamentally, what is the cause of meeting oneself, which can trigger the paradox of time and space?
There are a few things to think about about this matter. First, the future Rentaro Okabe passed the video back, which shows that the future Rentaro Okabe doesn't care about some kind of "accident" for his past self to see this video, and if this explanation is not strong enough, Zhou Yuan also saw another thing that Zhou Yuan experienced from a certain device.
Therefore, the matter of being separated by a screen can be determined to be a security phenomenon. Since it is a matter of time, there is not much difference between live broadcast real-time transmission and recorded broadcast - because the network cannot have zero latency, even Photonics Technology has a small time difference.
What is the difference between a wall and a glass of glass? Why does this happen, isn't it oneself?
It's obvious that it's okay to be separated by a wall, because that's not called "meeting" at allβor to put it more extremely, there is no difference between a wall and a hundred walls, or even a single earth, it's all spatially separated.
But it probably won't work through a glass of glass, because the conditions for meeting have already been met.
So does seeing a foot count as a direct meeting? Seeing a hand? Or ...... Seeing an eye, even if it is a direct meeting?
On this point, therefore, the definition of seeing oneself can also be drawn - there may be two situations.
First, meeting directly and knowing that the other person is indeed another self triggers the spatial paradox, and second, the spatial paradox is triggered if the spatial distance is close enough and there is no barrier.
The second point is that there is no way to avoid it, or fundamentally, the second type is likely to be much smaller than the first, so Zhou Yuan adopted this measure of completely disguising the whole person into someone else. This image of a warrior was enough for the other to be unrecognizable - in order to ensure that he would never be able to recognize this, Zhou Yuan even canceled Kazan's bonus, and used the extra recovery speed to hang a permanent afterimage Kaija on his ghost hand, so that the sleeve was just on the side of his body.
"It's so slow to swing a knife with one hand...... Oops, it's at the door. β
Zhou Yuan held the Yetai knife in one hand, and forcefully used the inertia of the blade to swing the weapon towards the necks of the zombies. For the current Zhou Yuan, clearing these things is just "a bit laborious", and it is far from the point where Zhou Yuan needs to use his strength.
The same is true for Artoria, although the knife is used in a disorderly manner, but judging from the physical fitness of the two of them, even random chopping can solve these guys.
"That's not going to work...... Don't others know that we are disguised at a glance?" Zhou Yuan sighed, "It seems that the two of us have to find a way to learn a little knife technique." β
If nothing else, how can a samurai use a katana as a heavy weapon to smash people...... That is, Zhou Yuan and Artoria have great strength, and they can be forced to use weapons like this, which is definitely a perfect false demonstration.
It's not a samurai at allβit's easy to see...... Therefore, there is still some other way to train your combat ability.
But now it's the survivors who are looking for them β oh yes, and the food.
There weren't many zombies in the supermarket, and the bodies found also had bullet holes on them. Obviously, the place had been cleaned - and then a lot of food and the like were taken away, the shelves were basically emptied, and the boxes in stock were torn open, but there were many more reasons why they couldn't be moved all at once.
Zhou Yuan squatted down, took out a bottle of water, looked at it and put it back - there is no need for too much water for such a thing, Zhou Yuan has his own fresh water reserves, but he just needs some food.
Some foods that don't taste so bad.
It just so happened that some high-calorie foods on the food container, such as chocolate, compressed biscuits and other foods were taken away, and not many people took snacks and other things - which made Zhou Yuan quite happy.
"Survivors? β
I don't know when, a figure suddenly appeared behind Zhou Yuan.
"Smart machines?"
Zhou Yuan frowned, then turned around. The civilian machinery in this supermarket is basically incapable, but the zombies don't bother with the tin cans - which makes the survival rate of the intelligent machinery quite alarming.
Some of the smart machines have begun to load powerful weapons to clean up zombies - but they can't clean it up.
The projection phenomenon in this world is much more serious than that on the other side, and if there are zombies alone, China invests tens of millions of dollars every day. As a result, humans can only survive in this situation - thankfully, there are fewer high-end projections here.
"Based on the imaging, they should be in the ...... That direction. β
Zhou Yuan dragged the Athena No. 2 machine with one hand and began to scan the surroundings. The state of the ground is clearly indicative of what is going on on the ground - although humans can't find those details, Athena 2 can scan and analyze them.
"So...... Shall we check it out?"
"Wait a minute, I'll go get a map. β
A supermarket in this kind of place has a bit of a department store feel like a department store, and everything is sold. Zhou Yuan went to find the direction of the map by himself, and after taking the map of the city, he was ready to set off.
"Sir, you two are strong. β
The intelligent machine said after Zhou Yuan.
"Why? I've never seen anyone as strong as me?"
There must be someone as strong as Zhou Yuan, such as the projection of the orderly and kind camp - the classic example is a certain heroic spirit who wants to be a righteous partner - Emiya Shirou.
"Of course I do, but lately there have been fewer and fewer projections willing to do it," the intelligent machine replied, "and...... Projection is not the same as human. The two are human beings, not projections. β
"You can feel that?"
Zhou Yuan was stunned.
"In our eyes, it's like the difference between an orangutan and a monkey. β
The intelligent machine replied.
