Chapter 50: Interlude II
At the doorstep.
Asker took out the key and pushed the door in:
"I'm back, Mom?"
Although it is not 4 years of disappearance, but 4 days, if it is converted to 96 hours, it is long enough, after all, the case can be opened after more than 24 hours of disappearance.
The mother was washing vegetables in the kitchen at this time, and when she heard this, she immediately poked her head out and said in astonishment:
"Huh? How did you get back? β
Asker: ???
Wait, Mom's reaction is wrong!
It's not the proper attitude towards a son who has been missing for 4 days and suddenly returns home!
After a moment of silence, Asker smiled and said:
"What, didn't I come back right?"
"Oops, you suddenly lost the news a few days ago, the phone couldn't get through, and you didn't reply to the message, and the people in your unit also said that they hadn't seen you since they got off work, so I called the police later." The mother peeled the cowpeas in her hand and babbled, "As a result, they said that they could not file a case in less than 24 hours." β
"The next day, the day before yesterday, I went to the police station again, and this time they said they would arrange for someone to look for me. As a result, the day before yesterday, people came to the door and said that they had found out what you were doing abroad...... Assignment? He also said that the signal in that place was not good, and it might take a few days and a half to stay, so I forgot it. β
"So are you coming back temporarily, or are things done? Is lunch eaten at home? β
Asker: ???
Assignment? What the heck!
Before he could continue to ask questions, there was another knock on the door.
"Oh, it must be someone from your unit who is here again, and they come to the door every day to offer condolences these days." The mother hurriedly ran over to open the door.
Standing outside the door were two middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes, first saying hello to their mother, and then looking at Asker, who was standing in the center of the living room, and suddenly showed a kind smile.
"Hello, hello." The man on the left walked in quickly, stretched out his hand and shook Asker's hand first, and introduced himself, "I am the head of the Special Project Planning Division of the Security Department, my surname is Mao, you can call me Comrade Mao." β
He pulled a document out of his bosom and handed it to Asker. The latter didn't take it, just glanced at it slightly.
Two badges, a few lines of words, and a steel stamp, it does look like a genuine document, but this X Security Bureau is too scary, which makes Asker a little inexplicable.
Why did it suddenly alarm the above? Could it be that I was photographed by the Sky Eye System suddenly disappearing and appearing? Are you that efficient at searching for traversers?
The name on the document was Mao Zhongwei, so Asker nodded and said with a smile:
"Eh, Mao, hello, hello."
The slightly chubby middle-aged man next to him also stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically:
"Deep Blue Technology Network Co., Ltd., Executive Officer Shen Jun, hello."
Deep Blue Technology, the parent company of the game "Solomon: A Song of Iron and Fire", its president ran to his house, Aske should have been surprised, but with the previous X Security Bureau here, it was not so terrifying.
"Hello." Asker politely shook his hand.
"That's it." Mao Zhongwei looked at his mother and said with a smile, "Although you just came back, we don't want to disturb you to catch up, but the public assignment still needs you to report and report on your work." It won't be too long, and I guess I'll be back in the evening, so why don't you go with us first? β
Shen Jun next to him turned his back to his mother and quickly made a lip gesture at him:
Through.
"Huh? Oh, yes, yes, yes! Aske immediately understood, and hurriedly said to his mother, "Mom, I'll go first, and I'll have lunch over there." β
When the three of them left the house, they heard their mother shouting from behind, "What about dinner?" β
"Let your son bring it back for dinner!" Mao Zhongwei laughed.
Asker followed the two to the downstairs, and saw that there were three cars parked downstairs, the first two seemed to be full of people, and a comrade came down from the middle car, and opened the door for the three of them with an expressionless face.
"Back row." Mao Zhongwei motioned for Aske to sit in the back row, and he walked to the front row.
Asker got into the car, and Shen Jun sat on his left-hand side. Mao Zhongwei sat in the passenger seat, and the comrade who opened the door sat in the driver's seat and closed the door.
"Let's go." Mao Zhongwei said.
So the three cars, including the front and rear cars, started at the same time and drove out of the community in a line.
"Well, it's been about four years since you've traveled over there, right?" On the way, Shen Jun glanced at Mao Zhongwei's eyes in front of him, and then talked to Asker.
Why is it so weird to talk about this?
Asker was in his heart. But after all, he was already a demigod, and he didn't have too much stage fright in front of these two big guys, and nodded with a smile:
"Well, almost four years. How do you know this? β
So Shen Jun turned his head to look at Mao Zhongwei again.
Mao Zhongwei turned back from the passenger seat and said with a smile:
"Because we've been waiting for someone like you to show up."
"Me?" Aske was stunned for a moment, "Traverser? β
"Yes." Mao Zhongwei nodded and said, "Including the release of the game "Iron and Fire", it is also for this purpose. β
"Ever heard of the observer effect?" Instructed by Mao Zhongwei, Shen Jun also gave him a rough explanation, "Have you ever heard of quantum entanglement?" β
"You say." Asker said.
"Quantum entanglement means that two quanta are entangled at the microscopic level, and one of the quanta changes its form, which will cause the quanta entangled with it to also change its form." Shen Jun explained, "But at the macroscopic level, these two quanta may be very far apart, and may even be located in different universes. For example, our world, and the world of A Song of Iron and Fire, of course, I don't mean games, it's your world. β
"The observer effect, which means that observation leads to collapse. For example, based on the observed world, we made a game world of A Song of Iron and Fire based on the quantum entanglement effect. This virtual game world can be regarded as having an entangled relationship with that world, of course, an entanglement relationship that we have artificially made. β
"When you go offline, for you players, the game world and that world are in a fuzzy SchrΓΆdinger state between 0 and 1. But as soon as you go online, you have an observational effect, and then the fuzzy body collapses into two clear worlds, the virtual game world, and the world on the other side of the universe. β
"Of course, in the vast majority of cases, the collapsed player is located in the virtual world on this side. However, scientists have mathematically calculated that there is a very small probability of a collapse error, at which point the player will enter the world over there. β
"Ugh." Asker didn't understand, so he could only sacrifice the Dafa of grasping the key points and asked, "Does it mean that the purpose of you making this game is to create a traverser?" β
"That's right." Shen Jun nodded and said, "Let me give you an example that doesn't quite fit the truth: there is a room with a door in the room that leads to heaven, but there is an angel guarding it. β
"Usually the door is closed, and only angels can pass through. If an angel comes in, the gatekeeper will open the door. If a human comes in, the angels will do nothing as soon as they see that you are human. β
"In order for humanity to enter heaven. We made an identical door on the other wall of the room, leading to the human world, which only humans can pass through. β
"Then, we arranged for a large flow of people to enter the room again and again."
"As soon as someone comes in, and the angel sees that you are a human being, he opens the door to the earth, and does not touch the door to heaven."
But with more and more times, there is a small probability that the angels will make mistakes. Finally, one day, you, as a human being, came in, and the angel opened the wrong door and sent you to heaven. β
"In fact, there are countless such doors in the room. Through your experience, we know which door corresponds to heaven. Next, we are going to lock this door, and without relying on this gatekeeper, we will directly open the way to heaven. β
This time Asker really understood: "Are you going to go to that world?" β
"Not exactly." Mao Zhongwei in the front row nodded and said, "The speed of time in the two worlds is different, and the world over there is far better than us in terms of the speed of evolution of civilization and the leadership of science and technology itself." β
"Therefore, we hope to establish a cooperative relationship with the forces over there, so as to gain the opportunity to break through the science and technology of the next industrial revolution, as well as more developed industrial productivity."
