Chapter 35: The Migration of Consciousness
With the help of the staff, Zhou Yuanzhi soon met Dr. Chung.
He noticed that the doctor's eyes were bloodshot, and at a glance he knew that it was the reason for the overnight meeting last night, so he asked, "Last night another overnight meeting?" ”
Because he knows that most scientists are like this, that is, scientists are not as glamorous or stress-free as outsiders see, they only need to stay in the ivory tower all day long, without the smell of fireworks in the world, on the contrary, the work of scientists is also the same as the work of ordinary people, full of all kinds of challenges, their work is often more difficult than the work of ordinary people, and their psychological pressure is greater, and it can even be said that the way for ordinary people to reduce stress is mostly to find someone to talk about or have a big meal, etc., which can be relieved. And the pressure of scientists is often unable to explain to others, and no one understands what they say.
And Dr. Zhong is this kind of scientist, so he sighed: "Yes, the plan for crossing was adjusted overnight last night."
"Why? Isn't it not yet the beginning? ”
Dr. Chung said: "No, it has already begun, but yesterday's two sampling did not make any progress, and if this continues, the project is likely to be terminated."
Zhou Yuanzhi was puzzled: "Termination, such a big plan, will it be terminated if you say it?" ”
Dr. Chung said: "Although this project is a national project, the investor is the investor, and no matter which company it is, if there is no return, the investment will be terminated, even if it is the state, and no one will pay for the hopeless plan."
Zhou Yuanzhi: "So, the crossing will be terminated?" ”
"Yes, if there is no progress"
Zhou Yuanzhi was silent, looking at Dr. Zhong with a haggard face, and sighed in her heart, the workplace of scientists is also the same as ordinary people, being chased by various achievements or progress, and it is not easy for people in the workplace.
Seeing that he had something to say, Dr. Zhong smiled and said, "What happened to me in such a hurry?" ”
Zhou Yuanzhi said: "I dreamed again last night"
"Dreaming of Qin Shi Huang again?"
"Yes, but it's not?"
Dr. Zhong smiled: "Whether it is or not, if it is, it means that you are indeed related to Qin Shi Huang."
"At first, I thought it was Qin Shi Huang, but after a closer look, I found that it was not"
"Who did you meet?"
"I see another self"
"Who are you in the era of Qin Shi Huang"
"Probably!"
Dr. Zhong looked at him with interest, and said, "It stands to reason that this is not the scope of the experiment, but I think your dream is more interesting, or it is the direction of future research in the field of traversal."
"Why?"
"Because of the two samples taken yesterday, you didn't change anything, but there were signs of consciousness migration before and after the sampling"
"Consciousness migration?"
Dr. Zhong explained: "Consciousness migration is a concept that we have specially put forward for the study of the field of transcendence, which can also be called a term, which refers to a kind of memory traversal, that is, the memories of people of another era can travel to people of our time, and in the same way, the memories of people of our era can also travel to people of another era, and the situation you just mentioned is somewhat similar to that of consciousness migration"
Zhou Yuanzhi was a little puzzled, after all, he was not a scientist himself, and he could not understand something too abstract.
"Are you saying that people in different eras can become another self through consciousness travel."
"Yes, theoretically, of course, this is just a derivation of the realm, and there is no case for study," Dr. Chung said.
Zhou Yuanzhi was also very interested when he heard Dr. Zhong mention this concept, so he hypotheticed: "If this theory can be established, it means that our contemporaries can also achieve 'consciousness migration', such as my consciousness can be transferred to you, after all, contemporaries do not need to be separated for too long."
Dr. Zhong looked at his innocent appearance and said with a smile: "How can it be so simple, you take it for granted, not a scientific derivation"
"Why?"
"Because scientific derivation requires a lot of empirical evidence, not your whims, and the scientific community cannot pay for your assumptions."
Zhou Yuanzhi was a little embarrassed by him, but she was still unconvinced and said: "Since people of different eras can practice 'consciousness migration', why don't people of the same era be allowed to 'consciousness migration'?" ”
Dr. Chung said, "Have you ever seen two parallel lines that cross each other?"
Zhou Yuanzhi: "No"
Dr. Zhong smiled: "That's right, only lines that are not on the same plane can cross, and the same is true for the migration or collision of consciousness."
Zhou Yuanzhi seemed to understand a little, so she admired Dr. Zhong very much, after all, she is not a person who specializes in the field of traversal, in the final analysis, she is just an object of "experimentation", not a person who studies "experimental objects".
Although his mood was a little depressed when he said this, he was really grateful to Dr. Zhong for explaining such a complex concept so bluntly, if he hadn't had this accident or participated in this experimental plan, even if he really became his son-in-law, it would be impossible to understand it from this perspective.
Some people are born scientists, and Dr. Chung is one such person.
"You're saying it's possible that I'm the 'consciousness migrator'"
Zhou Yuanzhi did feel a similar way, so he wanted to ask Dr. Zhong for verification, but if the conclusion was deduced from only one or two dreams, it was not a scientific method, so Dr. Zhong could only tell him:
"Is it a 'consciousness migration'? I said no, if you want to be sure, it can only be determined through a long period of slow verification and a large amount of data sampling."
In addition to realizing that he was dreaming recently, Zhou Yuanzhi also had some things that he was not sure about, that is, his memory began to gradually weaken, that is, he forgot a lot of previous things, so he said: "Dr. Zhong, there are some things I don't know whether to say or not"
"What's the matter?"
"I found that my memory was getting worse and worse, and I even forgot some of the previous things"
Dr. Chung said, "When did you start feeling this way?" ”
Zhou Yuanzhi said: "After the injury, no, to be exact, after the injury wakes up"
"Let's be clear, do you lose some of your memories or add some of your memories?"
"I'm not sure either, anyway, after waking up, every time I fall asleep, I have dreams, and these dreams have one thing in common"
"Do you dream of someone?"
"No, it's a dream of the same era"
"The era of Qin Shi Huang?"
"Yes"
"Why are you sure it's the time of Qin Shi Huang?"
"Clothing, black, the clothing of the Qin Dynasty, people all wear black clothing, including the house, the sky is black, and even the clothes of Qin Shi Huang are black"
When Dr. Chung heard him say this, he fell into deep thought, and he wondered, "What the hell is going on?" Is there really a flow of opposing consciousness? It can't be, it doesn't conform to common sense, it doesn't fit the deduction, and if he says it, it means that all previous conclusions will be overturned, and even the current experiment will no longer be able to continue......"
When Zhou Yuanzhi saw Dr. Zhong's silence, she knew that the problem she encountered was not only very valuable, but also a situation that Dr. Zhong had never encountered before.
Of course, he also kept asking himself, did I cross over?
He thought that if his situation was crossing, then there were no known people in this world who had already crossed over.
Could it be that in this world, there are really many people who have crossed over, but they don't know that they are crossing?
He doesn't have an answer, and perhaps Dr. Chung himself doesn't have an answer, so who will?
