At this moment, in the face of this solid data, Lu Ming also had to admit that after this batch of sacrifices, the little pig who should theoretically have worse luck is ...... It's really better.

At the same time, there is another point that can be basically determined, that is, the god of fate has a high probability of really having the ability to influence the underlying laws of the universe.

The reason why it is said to be a high probability rather than a complete certainty is still that there are too few experimental samples. After all, in terms of probability, there is still a certain possibility that the results of a single test will deviate from the normal value in a wide range.

This kind of ability has exceeded the limit of human scientific and technological strength at this stage. At this stage, human beings are still exploring even the underlying laws of the universe, let alone influencing and changing them.

This is something that technology can only do beyond super alien civilizations that humans don't know much about. Even, in Lu Ming's comparison, it is unlikely that the alien civilization in the "Mountain God" incident that led him to join the second team of the Planetary Security Agency's operation team and almost killed himself is unlikely to have this ability.

That alien civilization has only shown the ability to travel faster than light. And if it is only the technology of faster-than-light travel, its technical content is undoubtedly much lower than "changing the underlying laws of the universe".

But this did not make Lu Ming feel frightened in his heart, but inspired his fighting spirit even more.

"Even if it is a super alien civilization, it can also be parsed and understood by us humans. What's more, this sarcophagus basically does not represent the whole of that super alien civilization. At most, it is just a tool, an artifact, left over from that super alien civilization. ”

"The trial continues."

Lu Ming gave the order.

It is possible that the results of a single test will deviate greatly, but repeated trials can flatten out this deviation as much as possible and make it close to the true probability.

So, under Lu Ming's order, the experiment continued.

During this time, more than 150 more sows gave birth to a total of 1,269 piglets. Of these, 630 were sent to the sanctuary to participate in the sacrifice. The remaining 639 heads were left untreated.

The second Schrödinger pig trial officially began.

Lu Ming still took the method of taking a random number as a delay first, and then automatically triggering the start command. The reason for this is to eliminate the human factor as much as possible, and leave everything in the experimental process to "providence" and random decision.

This time, Lu Ming personally participated in the statistical work. He watched as piglets were taken out of the black box, dead or alive, and watched the number of sacrificed piglets and unsacrificed piglets grow, and finally got the statistics.

"Of the 639 Type 01 piglets, 314 died and 325 survived. The mortality rate was 49.17%:50.83%. ”

This time, the statistics are closer to the 50% statistical probability.

After that, it is the relevant statistics of the piglets that have been sacrificed.

"Of the 630 Type 02 piglets, 271 died and 359 survived. The mortality rate was 43.02%:56.98%. ”

As with the results of the first statistics, the mortality rate of the second batch of piglets who participated in the sacrifice was still 50% different from the survival rate.

If the first result is only because of coincidence, because of deviation, then the second result is also the same, which undoubtedly minimizes the possibility of "coincidence, deviation".

It can't be a coincidence in both trials, right? It's also a bit too coincidental.

"Keep experimenting."

Under Lu Ming's orders, the third, fourth, and subsequent experiments were carried out one after another. Batches of piglets are sent to the sanctuary to participate in sacrifices, and then they are sent to the black box with the piglets that do not participate in the sacrifice, to be judged by "fate".

When all 1,000 pregnant sows had been delivered, the experiment was over. A total of 8,925 piglets participated in the experiment, of which 4,480 were sacrificed and 4,445 were not.

The overall mortality and survival rates of these two piglets were 49.26%:50.74% and 36.55%:63.45%, respectively.

There are many things that can already be seen from these two figures.

The first is the piglets that were not sacrificed, and after expanding the number of experimental samples, it is obvious that the final proportion is closer to 50%. This undoubtedly verifies the impact of randomness at the bottom of the universe in the real world.

The comparison between the mortality rate and the survival rate of the piglets who participated in the sacrifice not only did not approach 50%, but there was a tendency to further widen the gap.

If all the piglets in the test field participated in the sacrifice and then finally came up with this value, then it is doubtful that it was due to some other off-site factors. But now, the two piglets receive a unified feed supply, a unified living environment and site, a unified drinking water, a unified staff care, and even they were simply mixed together before, and the staff responsible for taking care of the piglets did not know the difference between the two piglets.

The black box used in the Schrödinger pig trial was also used completely randomly. It is not a black box fixed for sacrificial or unsacrificed piglets. It may be that this time the one who entered the black box was the one who participated in the sacrifice, and the next time it was replaced by the one who did not participate in the sacrifice.

It can be said that apart from whether or not to participate in the sacrifice, any other factors that may lead to deviations in the results have been ruled out by Lu Ming in advance.

In this case, it can only be assumed that the sacrifice to the god of fate caused the deviation of the results, and then it can be concluded that the god of fate really has the ability to affect the randomness of the underlying universe.

Extrapolating from this result, one can conclude that the god of fate is most likely to affect the luck of the target life, whether it is a human or an animal, by influencing the randomness of the underlying universe.

After all, fate has proven to have this ability at this moment. However, since it has this ability, it turns out that it does not use this ability, and instead uses the way it affects chaos to affect luck, which is obviously unreasonable.

It's just that this point was proved and this conclusion was drawn, but there was a new question in front of Lu Ming.

Why is it that piglets, who should be unlucky in theory, have better luck and a higher survival rate in the experiment?

What went wrong? Or...... The real ability of this sarcophagus is actually to make people or livestock lucky, and then just because of a mistake in a certain link, the final result is reversed?

Lu Ming realized that if the truth of the matter turned out to be like this, then his own strategy might have to be changed. After all, a sarcophagus that can make people unlucky and a sarcophagus that can make people lucky should be treated differently.

If its true ability is the latter, then perhaps what it needs to think about is not to "end" this incident, but to find a way to make the most of it.

Think about it, if you can find a way to make a core scientist who has participated in a major scientific research project lucky, does this mean that you are more likely to make a scientific and technological breakthrough?

If a soldier who goes on a dangerous mission can receive the "blessing" of the sarcophagus in advance, can many casualties be avoided and many lives saved?

If all this is true, then the benefits are simply endless.

After thinking about it, Lu Ming made a decision.

"This batch of sows and piglets should not be transported back to the pig farm for the time being. Just stay here and raise it. ”

Raising here is more conducive to monitoring the follow-up luck of this batch of piglets.

"Yes."

Lu Ming's order was immediately transmitted to the relevant breeders.

It should be pointed out that from the very beginning, these front-line personnel did not know the inside story of this trial at all, nor did they know the difference between the two kinds of piglets. In reality, these two kinds of piglets are also completely mixed together and raised in a unified manner.

Only the core personnel know the difference between the two kinds of piglets.

In this way, it is equivalent to doing a double-blind experiment, which can ensure the accuracy of the experimental data to the greatest extent.

As a result, the thousands of piglets who survived the trial of "fate" lived in this luxuriously built and beautifully landscaped manor, constantly monitored by ubiquitous cameras.

This data is once again pooled with the data analyst and fed into the statistical model of the luck value.

Every milk grabbing, every frolic, every wrestling, every eating and drinking, every illness, every vaccination......

All the data was collected.

Seven days later, Lu Ming got the final statistics.

"Based on the real-life environment of the piglets, the average luck value of the Type 01 piglets, which is 4.96, is slightly lower than the average. However, the deviation is very small and can be considered normal. The average luck value of the 02 piglets is 4.26, which deviates significantly from the average value, and can basically be considered to be less lucky. ”

This final statistic once again surprised Lu Ming's expectations.

In the Schrödinger pig test, the piglets, who were obviously lucky, are now unlucky?

What's going on?

In the video conference room, Lu Qingliang and He Wei looked at the final result and were silent for a long time.

They didn't know what to say about the results.

Obviously less lucky, but the survival rate is higher. Obviously, the survival rate is high, but in reality, the luck is even worse.

Lu Ming pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head.

"Perhaps, we were wrong in the first place. Maybe...... The god of fate, well, the ability of this sarcophagus is not actually to affect the luck of living beings such as humans or animals. It's just influencing the randomness of the underlying universe. ”

Lu Qingliang and He Wei looked at each other. They didn't understand the meaning of Lu Ming's words.

"Good or bad luck is not the essence of things. They are just a concept that we artificially define. Its essence should be similar to, similar to......"

Lu Ming thought for a moment and said a word: "Probiotics." Or, beneficial insects, pests, beneficial animals, pests, etc. ”

A flash of realization appeared in He Wei's eyes.

"I guess I understand."

She said: "The so-called probiotics or germs, beneficial insects or pests, beneficial animals or pests, are actually just a concept that we artificially defined. We call the bacteria, insects, and beasts that are good for us probiotics, beneficial insects, and beneficial animals, and the bacteria, insects, and beasts that are harmful to us are called germs, pests, and pests. But essentially...... Do bacteria, insects, and beasts care about this classification? Or does this categorization essentially change their mode of existence? ”

Answer: Obviously, no.

Insects are defined as beneficial insects that feed and reproduce in order to survive. Insects are defined as pests, they are also eating, they are reproducing. The difference is simply that one behavior is beneficial to humans and the other is harmful to humans.

That's all.

No matter how they are defined, they are still them.

In terms of the so-called good luck and bad luck, the god of fate, or the sarcophagus, all it does is affect the randomness at the bottom of the universe. It's just that this kind of influence happens to be unlucky in the macrocosm, so it is considered bad luck.

Because of this, it is reasonable that in the Schrödinger pig test, the survival rate of less fortunate piglets was higher. Because the god of fate does not affect their luck at all. All it affects is randomness and that's it.

With He Wei's explanation, Lu Qingliang gradually understood.

"That's how it should be."

This experiment not only made Lu Ming understand the way in which the God of Fate affected the luck of living beings, but also let him know the nature of this influence.

Then, a new question was placed in front of Lu Ming and the entire second team of operations.

"What do we do next?"

Oh, yes...... Even if you know these things, how should you arrange your next actions?

Knowing the way, knowing the essence, there is still no too obvious indicative effect on the arrangement of specific things in the future.

More specifically, find out why the god of fate, or sarcophagus, can affect probability, and by what means—is it fantasy or science—to affect probability, or randomness?

Obviously, at least at this stage, this is not possible.

This is beyond the limits of human technology.

Lu Ming didn't think about this question at the moment. He was thinking about something else.

Lu Ming was silent, and Lu Qingliang and He Wei were also silent.

At this stage, under the situation that Zhang Dingshan had to remain in a coma and what he was facing was so treacherous, Lu Ming's brain was the only thing he could rely on.

For a long time, Lu Ming sighed silently.

"What I'm thinking is...... What is the essence of probability, randomness? ”

Lu Qingliang and He Wei looked at each other again.

What is essence? Random is random, probability is probability, this thing...... Also have an essence?

Lu Ming shook his head: "I know, this question is too profound, and even a little close to the field of philosophy, it's just ...... Alas. ”

He sighed again.
