Chapter 17: Coincidences and Lies

After a series of complex calculations, meteorologists finally made numerical changes in a certain sea area.

Combined with the rest of the meteorological conditions, in a realistic simulation system, these numerous parameters influence each other, change each other, and finally ...... A small storm crept in.

Looking at the simulation results, the meteorologists finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Being able to "reproduce" this storm in the simulation system at least means that your follow-up research has a directional guidance, and it is no longer as blind as before.

After this simulation, the second simulation begins. But to some surprise, this second simulation, that storm, did not show up.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

"Huh?"

All initial values are the same. However, the results of the two simulations were very different.

This can only mean one problem. That is, for a simulation system that has some "random values" set up to correspond to the chaos and randomness of the real world, this storm must involve "random values", and only in this way can the situation be explained.

It also means that the storm in the real world is very likely to be the same.

"Repeat the simulation. Frequency...... A million times. ”

The supercomputing system then began to perform rapid calculations. After a long time, the result of the operation appeared.

Out of a million simulations, 226,500 were stormed. The intensity of the storm is not much different. Of the remaining 773,500 or so, there were no storms.

"We don't have precise data on the weather environment at that time. But there's no need to look for extremely accurate data. We just need to know that with the data that we already have, with some of the remaining parameters, it is indeed possible to generate this kind of storm. ”

Subsequently, of course, the Chinese side will continue to conduct in-depth research on this matter. But for Sheriff Lu Qingliang's request, the result at this moment is enough.

"Let's start a realistic simulation."

A group of meteorologists then came to the reality simulation laboratory.

The Reality Simulation Lab is a hall that covers an area of more than 200 square meters. In the middle of the hall, there is a huge fully enclosed glass jar that is ten meters long and wide, and five meters high.

After entering the corresponding parameters, inside the glass tank, countless robotic arms, pipes, sandblast vents, water spray vents, vents, etc., began to work, and began to construct a simulated environment that was as similar as possible to the real environment.

As a result, a land mass was rapidly formed. There are high and low mountains, undulating mountains, dense buildings, etc.

After the land structure is completed, a large amount of seawater is released. These seas fill up the low parts, come together, and the ocean appears.

In the end, the terrain is not much different from the sea area where Lin Shiquan and his wife were killed - it is a bay, and there are mountains, land, and so on.

Meteorologists entered the climatic parameters. As a result, the sea and land began to be warmed, the ocean current simulator created corresponding ocean movements in the seawater, and the wind began to appear, blowing the "sea surface" into a slight ripple.

In the midst of this beautiful wind and sunshine and the sea is calm, a temperature change from the sea suddenly appears. The temperature of the seawater affects the temperature of the air, and after a series of complex interactions and evolutions, it finally ......

Nothing appeared.

The first simulation failed.

Meteorologists know that even if a virtual simulation is simulated a million times and corrected a million times, it is meaningless if it cannot be replicated in a real simulation.

This only proves that there must be some mistake in the virtual simulation that does not correspond to reality.

Mistakes can only be simulations, not reality.

Undeterred, the meteorologists continued the simulation.

Unlike virtual simulations, real simulations are extremely time-consuming. After all, thanks to the enormous computing power of a supercomputer, the entire process can be simulated thousands of times in a second. But in the real world, no matter how fast it is, once an hour is already the sky.

The second simulation also failed. Third, fourth......

All the way up to the fifth. After the same mechanism, perhaps because of the influence of some chaos and randomnessβ€”the inevitable simulation error that cannot be avoided by the real simulation system, here acts as a parameter corresponding to the chaos and randomness of the real worldβ€”a storm quietly appears.

The ripples on the surface of the sea quietly became larger with the appearance of this storm. When scaled up, it corresponds to a wave of up to one meter in the real world, and a short-term gale of about six to seven magnitudes.

All data on this simulation of reality was faithfully recorded by the electronic system.

Meteorologists finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, the reality simulation finally corresponds to the virtual simulation. This proves that our thinking is indeed correct.

It's like a complicated equation. And at this moment, I finally found the solution to this equation.

But that's not the end of it.

A new question has been put before the meteorological experts.

The root cause of the solution you have obtained at this moment comes from the sudden change in the temperature of the sea. But...... Why does the temperature of the sea change suddenly? In the real world, under what circumstances does this happen?

Once again, the experts began the process of reflection and discussion. But after a long discussion, there was still no way to do it.

The reason is simple. Natural processes that can cause sudden changes in the temperature of sea water must not be the only consequence. It also triggers a chain reaction and participates in the subsequent natural evolution. And this will definitely have an impact on the final result.

And this, contradicting the final "storm".

"Perhaps...... The cause of the sudden change in sea temperature does not come from nature, but ...... Artificial? ”

"Artificial? How can man-made cause such a huge change in sea temperature? ”

The change in sea temperature in this area is undoubtedly a small natural change compared to the whole natural world, and it is a natural change that cannot be smaller. But the forces of nature are enormous. This is a small factor relative to the natural world, but it is quite a huge amount for the power of man.

To do this, there must be a lot of movement. And, who in the human world would do such a thing inexplicably?

What's the point?

Meteorologists racked their brains and frowned. Suddenly, an expert's eyes lit up.

"This sea area is located near Hai Coconut Harbor. Hai Coconut Port is one of the top 50 mega ports in the world. This port is often haunted by giant freighters. So, could it be that a freighter sailed by, causing a sudden change in the temperature of the sea? ”

The displacement of a freighter is much greater than that of a warship. Even a fully loaded aircraft carrier is far inferior. Some giant cargo ships may even have a displacement of hundreds of thousands of tons, or even nearly a million tons.

A giant ship of this weight will pass by, and the sea will churn violently, causing the churning and mixing of sea water at different temperatures and levels. Theoretically, this could indeed lead to sudden changes in the temperature of the sea in a particular area.

"It's a real possibility. It's just that...... This bay is not on the route of a freighter. Those freighters shouldn't be here. ”

"Contact Sheriff Lu and ask him to check it out."

"It's fine."

The relevant information soon came to Lu Qingliang. Lu Qingliang looked at it, immediately picked up the phone, and connected to the port of Haiye Port.

"Four years ago, on October 22, I asked for a map of the routes of all the giant freighters near the ports that day."

"Yes."

A moment later, a route map data involving thousands of giant cargo ships was sent to Lu Qingliang. After a few simple data screening commands, an ocean-going giant freighter, codenamed "Cod 7658", was screened out.

On that day, it deviated from its course for dozens of kilometers and came to the edge of the bay where Lin Shiquan and his wife died.

It has a displacement of 460,000 tons. At that time, it was laden with coal and traveled from another continent.

Lu Qingliang once again dialed the phone number of the port side of Haiye Port.

"Why did the Cod 7658 freighter deviate from its course at that time?"

There was a rapid keyboard tapping sound from the microphone. Obviously, the other party is looking for relevant information.

After a few moments, the port side replied: "At that time, another freighter broke down while approaching the port. Combined with the nautical charts at that time, we issued an order to the Cod 7658 cargo ship to temporarily deviate and enter the port from another route. ”

The phone hung up, and Lu Qingliang sent the relevant information to the experts of the Marine Meteorological Laboratory.

After a short discussion and simulation, a collated data was immediately sent to Lu Qingliang. Lu Qingliang took a look and immediately contacted the other three. After a while, Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and Lu Ming went online one after another.

Once again, the four of them converged in a video conference room.

"There are major discoveries."

Lu Qingliang uploaded the relevant materials to the video conference room.

Sea Coconut City, in the middle of a hotel. Lu Ming finished reading this information and thought thoughtfully.

"So, this storm ...... Just an accident? Coincidental? ”

"Now it seems like this. The first is the breakdown of a cargo ship that was supposed to enter the port. Combined with the sea conditions at that time, Haiye Port instructed the Cod 7658 cargo ship to deviate.

The yaw of the Cod 7658 caused a rapid change in sea temperature in one area. The changes here, through a complex series of natural evolutions, culminated in a small storm.

Lin Shiquan and his wife suddenly saw this inexplicable small storm in the environment of the wind and sunshine, clear sky and calm waves, and subconsciously thought that this was what Dong'an Po said, the 'miraculous thing' between Dong'an God and the evil god, so they strengthened their determination to commit suicide, and finally intentionally overturned the leased sampan boat and drowned in the sea.

This should be the whole process of the matter. ”

Lu Ming's heart was full of incredulity.

The whole thing is just too inexplicable.

He Wei muttered: "In this way, there is nothing magical at all? What kind of miraculous thing did Dong Anpo say, it was something that had no shadow at all? ”

If even this inexplicable small storm was not a miracle, then it is very likely that there was no miracle at that time.

So...... There are three possibilities that are presented to people.

Zhang Dingshan said in a deep voice: "The first possibility, this small storm, is the miraculous thing that Dong'an Po said. Although we have a reasonable explanation for it at the moment, there are too many coincidences and too many unforeseen places. Maybe the essence of this supernatural thing is this kind of small probability event. ”

There is also a reasonable explanation for a person who buys a lottery ticket and wins the lottery. After all, no matter how low the probability of winning the lottery is, there will always be one. However, "making such a very unlikely thing come true" may be a "miraculous thing" in itself?

"The second possibility is that there are no supernatural forces at all. There is no such thing as a supernatural thing. This small storm is a real coincidence.

The third possibility is that there is indeed some kind of supernatural power, what Dong An Po said is indeed true, and Dong An Shen did fight with a certain evil god. However, something went wrong with the ceremony held by Lin Shiquan and his wife, which caused this miraculous thing to not appear. ”

Zhang Dingshan laid out the three possibilities that the situation means at the moment, one by one.

He Wei frowned for a moment and muttered: "When I interrogated those goddesses, the goddesses once confessed that there was a certain skill in the so-called 'seeing things' for people. In other words, as much as possible, the responsibility is placed on the customer. ”

She recounted the details of the previous interrogation, and finally said: "The third possibility, captain, I feel that there is a shadow of this technique. Could it be that Dong'an Po deliberately said this at the beginning, she knew that there could be no strange thing, but she just put the responsibility for the incident on Lin Shiquan and his wife in advance? ”

"Oh?"

Lu Ming thought about it slightly, and then he sensed the logic behind this speculation.

If you think about it deeply according to this logic, that is, Dong'an Po is essentially just a swaggering goddess. She knew that there was nothing supernatural at all, so she cleared her responsibility in advance, and only blamed the responsibility for the absence of supernatural things on the wrong ceremony of Lin Shiquan and his wife.

Your heart is not sincere, your mantra is wrong, your prostrations are wrong, your prostrations are wrong......

There are countless mistakes that can be singled out. So the supernatural thing did not appear, so ...... The responsibility is yours, and it has nothing to do with me.

If you continue to think deeply, you may ...... Dong Anpo didn't think about letting Lin Shiquan and his wife die at all?

It was only because of too much coincidence that a small storm happened to appear that Lin Shiquan and his wife decided to commit suicide?

So, if Dong'an Po didn't think about letting Lin Shiquan and his wife die, go deeper, does it mean that Dong'an God's words of using Lin Shiquan's and his wife's lives as bait are also false, and the so-called Dong'an God and the evil god fought to retrieve Lin Shen's "good luck" are also false, all of them are fake?

Of course, this is one of many speculations. At this stage, there is no evidence to prove this matter.

The key to the matter may also fall on Old Man Zhou Cheng's investigation of the cause of Dong'an's death.
