39: That's a familiar sound
Mi Shan's group, who had determined their next move, did not leave immediately, because they needed to deal with someone before they could do it...... Well, to be precise, it's a matter of the sanity value of two people.
Judging from the fact that these two people have not had any signs of mental breakdown, there should not be any major problems in the rational identification process.
And to Mishan's surprise, the first person to get out of the state of confusion was the most human-like "person" in this wasteland - super mutant Fawkes.
When Misr Shan in the new power armor leaned in, the super mutant was kindly trying to persuade Dr. James, who was in a state of self-doubt.
"Enough, what is one's own existence, is one's own thoughts really one's own? Don't you breathe air? Didn't eat? Just sleepwalking? ”
Fawkes tried hard to keep his voice under his control, so as not to scare Dr. James.
"No, if we were all created and all our actions were predetermined, then the meaning of our existence ......," Dr. James said with a pale sip of water.
Dr. James has just emerged from the virtual reality world "Quiet Alley" established by Dr. Braun.
It's a little unacceptable that my "real world" turned out to be a bigger "Quiet Alley"
And just like "Tranquility Alley", everyone's thoughts, everyone's behavior, and even the results of everything are actually designed in advance.
I don't know how many times I've heard Dr. James say this, Fox finally couldn't help but play the characteristics of being a super mutant race, and roared:
"Hey, I said! Why do you keep unilaterally thinking that it was people from other worlds who designed us, not what is happening to us that influenced their design! ”
"......" Dr. James, who was frightened by Fawkes's roar, was immediately exchanged for his soul by the other party's words.
To describe it, a few seconds after Fawkes said these words, Dr. James's eyes suddenly regained their brightness, and he muttered to himself:
"Yes, it is also possible that the information between different universes interferes with each other to form a projection effect in parallel universes!"
"Dr. Braun's previous papers, I always thought they were just fantasies!"
"I see!" In fact, what Dr. James needs is a reason to untie the knot of self-doubt, and it doesn't matter how likely this reason is true or false in retrospect.
It was Mishan, who had just come over, when he heard Dr. James say this.
I almost squirted a mouthful of salt soda on the other party.
This...... This...... How does this conclusion sound so familiar?
I carefully searched the memory of Mishan in my mind, and remembered that I heard this sentence from Lao Wang's landlord.
Lao Wang is the neighbor who taught Mi Shan how to exercise and become strong...... The neighbors are not counted, they are just buying vegetables in a vegetable market.
Mi Shan remembered Lao Wang's landlord and mentioned this setting...... Well? When did you mention it?
Mishan strangely found that his memories of this were a little blurry.
It's not so strange, it's not uncommon to encounter things in life that you remember a few seconds ago, but can't remember after a few seconds.
Judging from the fact that people from the two worlds can coincide in this regard, this Dr. James will not do any water purification plan.
can also become a qualified science fiction writer like Lao Wang's landlord.
Dr. James, who has untied the knot, can also treat Misr Shan with a normal attitude.
A slight embarrassment is certainly there, but soon, Misr Shan as an alien...... To be precise, the identity of the inhabitants of another parallel world, Dr. James, as a scientist, cares even more.
"I'm curious, how did you come to this world, Your Excellency?" Sitting in the cockpit of the Flying Bird, Dr. James asked Misr Shan.
"Hmm......" Although Misr was a little unaccustomed to calling himself Dr. James in such a respectful tone, he also knew that if the other party did not do so, Greenhill would definitely say that Dr. James was rude.
So Mishan, who didn't care what the other party's attitude was, asked rhetorically, "Doctor, have you heard of Douglas Adams?" ”
"Douglas Adams?" Dr. James searched for the name from all the pre- and post-war scientists he knew, but to no avail.
"Oh, he's not a scientist, he's just a fiction author, a science fiction author, but he doesn't think so." Mishan added.
"Science fiction author...... Don't think so? Dr. James began to expand his search.
Noticing the tenpence mansion that could be seen from the porthole of the plane, the doctor, who suddenly remembered where he had heard the name, was surprised:
"Your Excellency, are you talking about Mr. Adams, the author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?"
"It's good, there is this person and this work in this world, which saves me a lot of unnecessary trouble." Mishan said with a smile.
As a scientist, even after the war, I visited Dr. James, who had read the pre-war science fiction work, and recalled the contents of that book.
And at the first time, I reacted to why Mi Shan mentioned that work:
"Your Excellency, are you talking about infinite non-probabilistic drives?"
I feel that I will save a lot of words to explain Mishan, who is a little lost (I can't water the number of words!). Nodding his head:
"Yes, as long as the probability is not zero, it will be reached, although I prefer the author's law of three."
"I see......" Dr. James, who had read the novel, immediately gave up on continuing to ask Rice Shan how he came to this world.
The engine of the philosophy department should be studied by philosophers.
It's better for scientists to sit in the basement and watch the weekly news broadcast.
"If you want to see it, I can invite you to my ship." …… Although the energy ship belonged to the Draenei and Naru, now, Mishan directly identified it as his own.
"Oh, thanks, though...... But is that really good? "It's impossible not to be curious, especially for a scientist, but Dr. James wonders why Misr is so kind.
That's right, Dr. James was worried about what Misr was doing to him...... The slightest suspicion made Dr. James feel embarrassed.
"Of course, the wasteland of the Special Administrative Region is worthy of my invitation, and it is already in front of me." Mishan said with a smile.
"......" Dr. James glanced sideways at the super mutant sitting next to him, who also showed a puzzled expression.
"If there are really people in this land who are still worth saving, in my eyes there are only the two of you." Mishan added.
The most human-like "man" and the only true "saint...... Of course, Misr is only talking about the Washington, D.C. wasteland.
Just when the two people who were "praised" by Mishan were a little inexplicable, Greenhill in the driver's seat turned his head and said:
"Arrived at Raven Rock, my lord."
"Do you know how to fly? Dr. James. Mishan asked, putting on his helmet.
Then Jiajia and Mirin, who were also wearing power armor, also put on their helmets.
"It should be fine, but...... What are you doing here? "Dr. James may have been more secure than Greenhill.
"Teach those American GIs...... Hmm, Enclave, what's the correct way to use Power Armor? Mi Shan opened the hatch of the Flying Bird fighter plane, looked at the Crow Rock military base hidden in the mountains thousands of meters below, and said.
