Chapter 7: Schrödinger's Cat (I)
Tang Qi frowned and shook his head: "Who is Schrödinger?" What happened to his cat? What does this have to do with what's in front of you?! ”
Wu Ming lit a cigarette and slowly exhaled a smoke ring, and then said: "Schrödinger is a physicist in Austria, the founder of quantum mechanics, and one of the winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1933."
Tang Qi pouted impatiently and interrupted: "Hey-I'm a scholar, why are you talking to me about this?" What kind of cat did you think Schrödinger had? ”
Wu Ming smiled and continued: "Schrödinger did have a cat, the most terrible cat in human history," Tang Qi heard this, although his mind was full of question marks, he no longer asked, so as not to be teased by Wu Ming again, Wu Ming continued: "So much so that Hawking said: 'As soon as I hear Schrödinger's cat, I will go to get a gun. ’”
Tang Qi still couldn't hold back the question in his heart: "Ah! Is Hawking going to kill the person who asked him or is he going to kill the cat? After saying that, he immediately regretted it, because Wu Ming was laughing again, and continued: "It doesn't matter who kills, the important thing is that Hawking also had a headache when he heard about this famous thought experiment, Schrödinger's experiment was like this, put a cat in an opaque box, and then connect this box to an experimental device containing a radioactive nucleus and a container containing toxic gases. Imagine that this radioactive nucleus has a 50% chance of decaying within an hour. If decay occurs, it will emit a particle, which will trigger the experimental device to open the container containing the poisonous gas, thus killing the cat. According to quantum mechanics, when not observed, the nucleus is in a superposition of decayed and non-decayed, but if the box is opened after an hour, the experimenter can only see "decayed nuclei and dead cats" or "undecayed nuclei and living cats". ”
Tang Qi was confused, and the corners of his mouth curved downward pitifully expressed helplessness, and he didn't say a word.
Wu Ming asked, "Do you understand?" ”
Tang Qi snorted: "You are the rhythm that makes liberal arts students kneel!" What! Dead is dead, alive is alive, what to do both dead and alive, will opening the box and not looking at it affect the cat's life and death? ”
Wu Ming said: "Of course, whether you look at it or not will of course affect the result. You see, the cat is either dead or alive, you don't look, the cat is dead or alive! ”
"What a reason!" Tang Qi said disapprerovingly: "You are idealism at all!" The objective existence of a thing is not subject to consciousness! ”
Wu Ming shook his head and expressed helplessness: "Are you changing the concept secretly, quantum physics studies the microscopic world, and the coordinates, momentum, energy, angular momentum, spin and other physical quantities of the macroscopic world often cannot obtain continuously changing values under quantum science, and the values obtained are often uncertain." That is to say, in the microcosm of the cat is either dead or alive, and in the macrocosm of the cat, the cat is either dead or alive. ”
Tang Qi heard it in a fog, frowned for a while, and seemed to understand something for a while, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't understand, he only felt a headache and swelled, and shouted at Wu Ming: "You are the one who secretly changed the concept, I don't care about the microcosm of the macro world, what live cats and dead cats, let Xue Ding'e's cat hell with it!" I just want to know where is that heirloom jade seal you painted now?! ”
Wu Ming sighed, squinted at Tang Qi, and saw that Tang Qi felt a little weak in his heart: "What are you doing?" What did I say wrong? ”
Wu Ming shook his head, his eyes were even more blurry and profound: "Since I was a child, I have been repeatedly having the same dream, the sky in the dream is gloomy, and there are always corpses falling, men and women, old and young, those people seem to be familiar, but they can't remember, in the dream, what I am holding in my hand is this heirloom jade seal, sometimes laughing, sometimes hiding my face and crying." ”
Tang Qi laughed dryly: "You mean that the jade seal in the painting comes from this absurd dream of yours?" ”
Wu Ming was silent.
Tang Qi was at a loss to pull her long hair again and again, her hair was messy, and her heart was even more confused, and said, "You treat me as a three-year-old child, right?" So you made up a fantasy story for the kids, right? ”
Wu Ming was still silent, he was thinking: Maybe only she would believe in this dream of hers in this world, presumably she should also see that ancient corpse, so does the unfulfillable promise she made at the beginning still count?
Tang Qi's eyes were full of infinite grievances and resentment, looking at Wu Ming, who was still indifferent, and tearing up: "Lied! You liar! You villain! I, Tang Qi, asked myself to be honest with you, and you actually lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, do you think that I, Tang Qi, am a woman who is greedy for money!? Even if the jade seal in your hand is really heirloom, I, Tang Qi, will never take a second look! I just want to know what the hell is going on with all this weirdness and bizarreness! Do you think that I, Tang Qi, will covet your heirloom jade seal that I don't know the truth of! Instead of making up a ghost story like this that even a three-year-old doesn't believe in to fool me, you might as well just tell me that the picture wasn't made by you at all! Let's go! Swindler! Villain! ”
Tang Qi's grievances and anger seemed to have been expected by Wu Ming, but Wu Ming just explained lightly: "What I said is true, it's true!" I never imagined you to be that kind of person! ”
Tang Qi sneered: "Let's go!" When we never met! Get out! ”
Wu Ming smiled, picked up the picture clip, slowly opened the car door, was already out of the car's feet, hesitated, stopped, looked back at Tang Qi, wanted to say something The mouth opened slightly, but it was slightly mocking, turned around and left quickly.
Tang Qi's ears sounded the sound of the car door closing, and in an instant, tears poured out like a tide, and he lay on the steering wheel weakly and cried.
Man is the strangest creature in the world, and this thought comes and goes.
Tang Qi suddenly seemed to know what Wu Ming's slightly open mouth was about to say, Wu Ming clearly wanted to say: You said it, as long as you say it, I will believe it! Tang Qi felt that he was the real liar, and after thinking about it carefully, if Wu Ming really wanted to deceive himself, why didn't he make up a credible lie to fool himself, but said a 'nonsense' that no one would believe. It was Wu Ming who believed in himself incomparably and firmly believed that he believed in him that he would say these 'nonsense'. But he ......
Suddenly raised his head, as if he saw Wu Ming's lonely back not far away, and when he drove closer, he suddenly realized that Wu Ming was no longer in the light.
Let's say that after Tang Fanghua answered Zhang Lao's call, he walked into the laboratory and planned to send these reporters away quickly, and happened to see Zhang Bo and they were leading the reporters to see the fresh corpses kept in the low-oxygen ancient corpse storage cabinet.
It's just that an even more bizarre scene that Tang Fanghua couldn't dream of happened when Zhang Bo opened the ancient corpse storage cabinet.
But seeing that Zhang Bo said to the reporters while opening the ancient corpse storage cabinet: "You will never believe your eyes, the freshness of this fresh corpse is the same as that of a living person......
The moment the ancient corpse storage cabinet was opened, the reporters stretched their necks and squeezed their heads to look at the storage cabinet, time seemed to be condensed at this moment, Zhang Bo's tongue seemed to be suddenly frozen, and he couldn't spit out a word anymore, and the reporters' eyes were already wide open, guess what?
The ancient corpse storage cabinet is empty! The corpse, which had already killed hundreds of people, was gone!
Screams came and went.
Qi Hong, Zhang Bo and Fan Zhifeng all widened their eyes, you look at me, I see you in horror, there are only three words in your mouth: "How come?" "How so?" "How so?"
The reporters were scolded: "Where is the fresh corpse now?" ”
"Please don't tell us that this is the resurrection of an ancient corpse, and the resurrection of the corpse!"
"You are a bunch of pseudo-scientists, pseudo-experts, you are blatant fraud! This archaeology was a complete hoax from start to finish! ”
"May I ask where is your Director Tang? I hope he can give us a scientifically reasonable and satisfactory explanation. ”
At this moment, everyone heard Tang Fanghua's terrified voice behind them: "Notify the security department, and call the police at the same time!" "The man has collapsed to the ground.
The reporters saw that Tang Fanghua was already like this, and it was inconvenient to ask further questions, Zhang Bo and others helped Tang Fanghua to sit down, Tang Fanghua drank some water, and then slowly came to his senses, and his eyes slowly swept over Zhang Bo and others, as if to find out the mystery of the disappearance of the ancient corpse from among them.
Tang Fanghua's suspicions are not unreasonable, after all, before people knew about the archaeological discovery of fresh corpses, only he and Zhang Bo, Fan Zhifeng, Qi Hong, Wang Ge and other five people knew about it, but Zhang Bo, Fan Zhifeng and Qi Hong at the scene all looked stunned and unaware, so could it be Wang Ge, who was not present at this time and was sent to Ximei to find Wu Ming?
Wang Ge's efficiency is very high, he drove into the West and went directly to the office of the head of the oil painting department, and after revealing his identity, he excused himself that he needed to paint some retro paintings, and he soon got a copy of Wu Ming's file, but when he got it in his hand and looked at it so casually, he couldn't help frowning, the two-inch photo of Wu Ming on this file was four or five points similar to the ancient corpse, thinking that this strange thing is especially many every year, no wonder Tang Lao is in a hurry to let him do this. After that, I went to the counselor's office to find Wu Ming's counselor and asked for Wu Ming's phone.
The counselor Mr. Wang received Wang Ge very warmly, but a student who was present at the time glanced at him from time to time, Wang Ge didn't care too much, after explaining the intention, Mr. Wang called Wu Ming several times, and the phone was turned off, Wang Ge had to take Wu Ming's mobile phone number, and then asked for Wu Ming's life photos, Mr. Wang said no, Wang Ge had to leave.
Out of the counselor's office, Wang Ge shook his head, feeling a little regretful that he didn't get Wu Ming's recent life photos, but he didn't take a few steps, and the student hurriedly caught up with him: "Uncle, don't you want a photo of Wu Ming?" I have! Wang Ge looked up and down, only to see that this guy was five big and three thick, white and clean, with a thick beard on his mouth, Xu was too fat because his eyes were so crowded that there was nowhere to put them, Wang Ge smiled: "Okay, good!" Thank you, classmates! What is your name? ”
The guy shrugged his shoulders, and the two pieces of meat on his chest fluctuated up and down: "My name is Wang Da Lei, they all call me Lei Zi, Wu Ming and I are iron buddies in one class and one dormitory!" ”
Wang Ge nodded: "Classmate Wang Dalei, do you also want to go to our institute to paint?" ”
Wang Dalei: "Don't mind, my level is old, I just want to ask if the thing about non-rotting corpses on the Internet is true?" ”
Wang Ge didn't want to be wrong, and replied, "It's true! ”
Wang Dalei's face changed: "It's weird...... frowned and said: "Uncle, I'll pass it to you by Bluetooth!" ”
Although Wang Ge studied anthropology, when he saw Wu Ming's photo, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and look at it, at least ninety-nine times on his almost bald head, and finally spit out a sentence: "How is this possible?" Is it ......?"
Wang Dalei hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what do you mean?" ”
Wang Ge glanced at Wang Dalei, shook his head again, and muttered: "Impossible, impossible, it is against the laws of genetic science!" ”
Wang Dalei asked again, but Wang Ge didn't answer, and left nervously. Leaving Wang Dalei to shake his head, he called Wu Ming for the ninety-ninth time, but he heard the phone from the other side: I'm sorry! The phone you are calling is turned off. I couldn't help but curse in my heart: "Damn! Is this a human or a ghost now!? It's really hard to kill people! ”
Wang Ge pondered the genetic confusion of Wu Ming and the strange phenomenon of the ancient corpse twins, went downstairs, thought as he walked, and walked towards his car, just happened to run into Tang Qi who came to Ximei to find Wu Ming, but Tang Qi saw him, he didn't see Tang Qi, Tang Qi shouted from afar: "Uncle Wang!" ”
Wang Ge didn't hear it, so Tang Qi had no choice but to give up.
Wang Ge walked to the car, opened the door, and was still thinking like a demon, not wanting to feel that his butt was just next to the seat, he felt the wind in the back of his head, and fainted before he could react, at this time, a black shadow took a copy of Wu Ming's file and took a photo, and then put it back in the file, and then got out of the car and left.
Tang Qi took a few steps forward and thought it was wrong! What is this Uncle Wang doing in Ximei? slapped his head suddenly, thinking that his father must have been unable to contact him, so he sent Uncle Wang to Ximei to find Wu Ming directly. After thinking about it, when he turned around, he saw two men in black getting out of Wang Ge's car and leaving in a hurry.
Tang Qi, who was suspicious, hurriedly ran to Wang Ge's car, and soon found that Wang Ge who was unconscious in the car, seeing that Wang Ge was still breathing, his heart was much more steady, and he shouted loudly: "Uncle Wang, wake up, Uncle Wang, wake up!" Fortunately, Wang Ge woke up soon, and Tang Qi breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle Wang, are you okay?" ”
Wang Ge touched the back of his head, which was still aching faintly at this time: "It's okay, did you see the person who beat me?" ”
Tang Qi shook his head: "I only saw two men in black get out of your car, I didn't see your appearance clearly, why did they beat you?" ”
Wang Ge thought about it, he hadn't offended anyone on weekdays, he didn't know what kind of bad luck had fallen this time, he was beaten by someone for no reason, and suddenly his eyes fell on Wu Ming's file, as if he understood and didn't seem to understand, pointed to Wu Ming's file, and said thoughtfully: "Maybe it's for this?" ”
Tang Qi picked up the file, and what caught his eye was Wu Ming's face, Tang Qi closed his eyes, as if he was in a different world.
