Chapter 223: The Butterfly Effect?
Shu Yunpeng walked out of the door and exhaled deeply, as if he wanted to vomit out the depression accumulated in his chest. Although he understood Emily's departure and didn't blame her, it wasn't something that made him happy after all.
He started the empty car and prepared to go to the Academy of Sciences. After the car lifted off, he found that there were many cars, and the flow was endless, so he slowed down.
Central City is truly more lively than ever. When he led the army to capture the Alpine base of United Mining, and after Xiang Zidan and Zhang Jingyi killed the rebels and achieved a brilliant victory, Yi Qianya issued a general order to let the people scattered in the agglomeration areas move to the central city.
"Central City should be able to accommodate all the earthlings!" She said: "Tianshutang Novel Network, Urban Romance Novel Network, you are rushing to be the first in piracy, it's shameless!" ”
**The orders of the head of the government are executed with amazing efficiency, which may be the advantage of centralization, right? As soon as Yi Qianya's order was issued, various departments began to count the population and moved to Central City.
More than a month has passed, and the population of Central City has risen to 10 million, and it seems to have returned to its old state. However, Zhang Jingyi took her space fleet and patrolled all the places while tracking down the last remnants of bandits such as Leda and Demi. She found that all the agglomerations were empty, and there were almost no people in the wilderness!
Could it be that after an unprecedented war, the population of the earth has plummeted by two-thirds? Zhang Jingyi was very surprised: "So many people died? ”
Shu Yunpeng arrived at the Academy of Sciences and met Huang Lang, this data was further confirmed. Huang Lang, who was watching the recent statistics, said to him as soon as he saw him: "It seems that there are so many people!" ”
Shu Yunpeng smiled, it seems that the prophecy of chicken feathers has really come true. He remembered what Claire said, and what ordinary people often say, that the population of the agglomeration is overcrowded---- it seems that the extra population really disappears without the will of people!
"Isn't it a good thing that the population is too large and everyone can live in Central City now!" He teased.
Huang Lang didn't say anything, he knew that Shu Yunpeng was sarcastic: "Mr. Shu is here to find me?" ”
"You're busy," Shu Yunpeng saw that Huang Lang was busy, so he smiled and said, "I'm fine." ”
"I'm done," Huang Lang squinted and observed Shu Yunpeng: "Just say something." ”
"Okay," Shu Yunpeng nodded when he saw Huang Lang say this: "Can Sister Zhen recover?" ”
"It's a little difficult, she hasn't been treated for a long time, so it's delayed, it's hard to say if she can recover, I'll do my best!" Huang Lang said and said with a smile: "It won't be a special trip to ask me if Sister Zhen's leg can be cured!" ”
"Hmm......" Shu Yunpeng pondered for a moment, as if he had made up his mind: "I came today to ask Professor Huang, is there such a person in the world, whether he is intentional or not, he will always bring disasters and misfortune to the people around him?" ”
"This question is a bit mysterious, Mr. Shu," Huang Lang thought for a moment and said, "I don't understand what kind of person you are referring to. ”
"For example...... I'm it! Shu Yunpeng hesitated for a moment and said: "I came here, starting from knowing Yiru, I have met Claire, Qin Huaiyu, etc., and the relationship is very close, but the result is ...... But as a result, they died one by one......"
"No, no, Mr. Shu, your words are not right, their deaths have nothing to do with you......" Huang Lang heard Shu Yunpeng's words and hurriedly denied them.
"Listen to me, professor," Shu Yunpeng stopped Huang Lang's words: "Qin Huaiyu was trying to get my innocence back, but he fell for Li Yunyi, fell into the Central City, and finally sacrificed his life to die; Yi Ru was also because I was attacking Lida and the others, and they in turn attacked the couple's fortress, and as a result, Yi Ru risked his life to save his life; Not to mention Carla and Rebecca, just because I was desperate to rush forward, they were trying to protect me......"
"No, no, you're far-fetched!" Huang Lang interrupted Shu Yunpeng's words and categorically denied: "Claire died of illness, it has nothing to do with you, right?" ”
"No!" Shu Yunpeng said: "Because of one of my adventures, I succeeded by luck, and as a result, the people of the earth got carried away and swelled up, and rashly sent troops on an expedition. Claire died because her helmet was torn and poisoned by the universe! ”
"Mr. Shu, listen to me," Huang Lang shook his head desperately: "Your cause and effect is not logical!" If we all look to the bottom of the matter like you, anything in the world can become anyone's fault...... I think you're too tired, you should take a long vacation and have a good rest! ”
Shu Yunpeng smiled: "Professor, you must think that there is something wrong with my spirit, right?" No, I'm sober and calm. Think about it, is it a coincidence that almost all the people I know who are closest to me have died? Isn't there necessarily some underlying force at work? Of course, from a scientific point of view, this cannot be falsified, almost fantastic, but what science cannot explain, it must be impossible? ”
Huang Lang gradually calmed down, he pondered, and then said, "What does Mr. Shu want to explain?" ”
"I mean, is this also a butterfly effect," Shu Yunpeng said, "and my appearance disturbs some underlying cosmic law in this world?" ”
Huang Lang smiled: "I remember that Mr. Shu once said that human beings are arrogant and think that they have a special position in the universe. But now, Mr. Shu's statement is that your unexpected appearance has disturbed the cosmic laws of this world, doesn't this make you feel that your status is very special? ”
"I don't know...... But I don't think I'm special, but I wonder if I'm the butterfly that is being used by some kind of power...... I'm scared, I'm afraid to continue to hurt people! ”
"No, Mr. Shu, you have never harmed anyone, this is my conclusion!" Huang Lang said very seriously: "The initial sensitivity of chaos theory is to study the evolution of systems in time and space from the perspective of holism rather than reductionism. It is metaphysics rather than science to use chaos theory to apply specific examples to your subjective conclusions. ”
"Yes, subjectively, I have never harmed anyone, and I can even say that I have never even had the intention of harming others. But objectively......" Shu Yunpeng told Huang Lang, Miao Miao, Su Yue, and Emily about leaving, saying: "Their departure, is it that they have received some kind of warning in their subconscious, they seem to have vaguely seen something, so they left me?" ”
"Take a good rest for a while, Mr. Shu," Huang Lang said with sympathetic looks, "The people you are close to have suffered misfortunes one after another, and you are cranky because you feel uncomfortable in your heart." I repeat: their deaths have nothing to do with you! ”
Shu Yunpeng certainly knows that macro theories cannot be used to explain specific things. It can be said that Li Shimin's Xuanwumen change changed the trajectory of China's historical development, and it can even be said that it affected the development trajectory of the entire world history. The development trend of the whole China and even the whole world may have changed greatly because of this incident.
But it can't be said that on June 18, 1957, Shu Yunpeng was born because Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Change, otherwise there would be no Shu Yunpeng in the world.
That being said, who can say with certainty that there is absolutely nothing to do with each other?
"Well, Professor," Shu Yunpeng said, "thank you!" ”
After leaving the Academy of Sciences, although Huang Lang denied his thinking, Shu Yunpeng's heart became heavier and firmer. He felt that human science and technology were far from capable of explaining the underlying causes of anything. In this case, science cannot explain everything he thinks and encounters, and there is no reason why he should not take precautions.
He ran to the headquarters and signed two letters of appointment: appointing Xiang Zidan as the captain of the first detachment of the garrison with the rank of captain, and appointing Liang Jingjing as the deputy captain of the first detachment with the rank of lieutenant, and then submitted it to Yi Qianya.
The next day, Yi Qianya signed. Shu Yunpeng got two letters of appointment and immediately returned home.
"This is your new position, go and report to work immediately!" He handed the letter of appointment to Xiang Zidan and Liang Jingjing: "Congratulations on your promotion!" ”
Xiang Zidan and Liang Jingjing looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
"Brother, what's going on?" Xiang Zidan was puzzled: "Why is it so sudden?" ”
"It's nothing sudden," Shu Yunpeng said lightly: "You have made outstanding achievements, and you should have been promoted a long time ago." It just so happens that these two vacancies are filled...... Do a good job! ”
"And what about your guards?" Liang Jingjing asked, "Are there any new guards being sent?" At least give them a handover! ”
"I have a whole platoon of guards, why do you need guards!"
"Can we still live with you, then?" Liang Jingjing continued to ask.
"You are now a regular officer in the army, you have to stay with your soldiers, and you can't live with me anymore."
Liang Jingjing opened her mouth and was speechless. Xiang Zidan pulled Liang Jingjing's sleeve and motioned for her to stop asking. When they walked outside, Xiang Zidan said, "Brother went to the Academy of Sciences yesterday, and I felt a little wrong when I saw the way he looked when he came back." ”
"He should have gone to see Professor Huang Lang yesterday, right?" Liang Jingjing felt very strange, as Huang Lang, he shouldn't say anything that shouldn't be said: "What did they say?" ”
"I don't know......," Xiang Zidan groaned. She knew that Shu Yunpeng was always studying very seriously, and she also liked to discuss some scientific issues with Huang Lang. She couldn't think of how he suddenly promoted her and Liang Jingjing and let them go back to the army.
"Then let's go to the Academy of Sciences to find Professor Huang Lang," Liang Jingjing said, "and ask him what happened!" ”
"Okay!" Xiang Zidan said: "I'll take care of my things and go." ”
Since he promised Yi Qianya, he had to send the child over. Xiang Zidan held back the reluctance and sadness in his heart, sorted out the things that the child wanted to use and asked Liang Jingjing to help take them, held the child himself, and the two went out together.
They hurried to the Academy of Sciences, sent the child to the research center, and then found Huang Lang.
"Professor, what did you say to the colonel yesterday?" As soon as Xiang Zidan saw Huang Lang, he asked directly.
"What's wrong?"
"The colonel suddenly promoted me and Liang Jingjing, and asked us to live in the barracks!" Xiang Zidan told Huang Lang in detail about the matter.
After listening to Xiang Zidan and Liang Jingjing's narration, Huang Lang was silent for a while, and then contacted Yi Qianya.
