With the development of science and technology in human civilization, a lot of research has been done on the randomness in the underlying laws of the universe, and we have a very deep understanding.

Along with one fallacy after another being explained and eliminated, especially the theory of hidden variables, that is, the randomness in the underlying laws of the universe is not really random, just because there are some hidden variables that have not yet been discovered. As long as these hidden variables are discovered, we can know that the bottom of the universe is not really random - it is ruled out, and people are more and more deeply aware that the randomness at the bottom of the universe is really random.

It is an intrinsic property of the universe that is not affected by anything.

This seems to answer Lu Ming's question about "what is the nature of randomness".

The essence of randomness is the intrinsic nature of the universe. Just as life needs energy, just as plants need the sun, naturally, naturally. It is what it is, it has been fixed since the beginning of the universe, it has no why.

But at this moment, Lu Ming had doubts about this.

If the randomness at the bottom of the universe can also be changed, then ...... It doesn't seem to be an intrinsic property of the universe. Otherwise, randomness can be changed, so can the speed of light be changed? Can the various constants in the universe that determine what the universe looks like also be changed?

If even they have been changed, then is the universe still the universe?

In particular, if the intrinsic properties of the universe, or the intrinsic properties, or the physical constants, can be changed, then it is natural to draw a corollary: since they can be changed and set, then why should we think that the constants of the universe are not set in advance?

Going further, one can only conclude that our universe is virtual. It was an incomprehensible, indescribable being who set up all of this and created this universe, and after that, this universe gave birth to human beings.

The possibility of this speculation is not only possible, but also highly probable. Because our universe is too subtle, too delicate, there are countless coincidences in it, for example, if the speed of light in a vacuum changes a little bit, the appearance of the universe will change so dramatically that it is impossible to form stars, galaxies and other stars.

Since it is so coincidental, and the physical constants of the universe can be changed, what other explanation can there be than "the universe is a virtual space that has been specially created"?

Based on this, Lu Ming has such a question: What is the essence of randomness?

Lu Ming knew that with his own knowledge, he could not come up with a very clear answer to this question. After all, he was only a "reserve scientist", and he had no specific contact with the most cutting-edge scientific theories and ideas.

What's more, even if he has been in contact with it, even the top scientists in the world today will most likely not be able to give an answer to this question.

But he still wants to hear what others have to say.

"Qingliang, there is something to trouble you." Lu Ming hesitated: "I want you to help me contact Professor Yang Ning, I hope to visit him." ”

"Professor Yangning?"

Lu Qingliang was taken aback.

If he is an ordinary scientist, or a professional with extremely high achievements in a certain field, it is not difficult for Lu Qingliang, who is relying on the big tree of the Planetary Security Agency, to contact and then visit him, or to recruit him directly. However, at this moment, Lu Ming's request to visit Professor Yang Ning really made it difficult for Lu Qingliang.

There is no way, Professor Yang Ning's status is too high.

To some extent, Professor Yang Ning can even be regarded as one of the founders of modern physics. Although he is over 90 years old this year and has already withdrawn from front-line scientific research, his opinion is still important enough to even affect the scientific research line of the entire civilization.

For such a character, not to mention direct recruitment, even if you go to the door, you may not be able to make an appointment.

"Is it okay to change someone? Professor Yang Ning, this ...... I've heard that he hasn't seen much of the outsiders lately. ”

Lu Ming shook his head: "In today's scientific community, apart from Professor Yang Ning, I don't know who else can answer my question. ”

He Wei was puzzled: "Professor Yang Ning is over ninety years old, and he has long since withdrawn from the front line of scientific research......"

Lu Ming said: "This question does not focus on scientific research ability, but more on scientific thought. As one of the only surviving founders of modern physics, Professor Yang Ning's depth and breadth of thought are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. If there is really someone in this world who can answer my question, it must be him. ”

Lu Qingliang thought about it and nodded reluctantly: "I can try, but I don't guarantee that it will work." ”

Lu Ming said: "I will apply to Li as the temporary captain of the second action team. When necessary, we can disclose the progress of our current investigation to Professor Yang Ning. Presumably, Professor Yang Ning would be interested in meeting me if he knew that we had discovered something that affected the randomness at the bottom of the universe. ”

Lu Qingliang shook his head and said, "I'm not optimistic. Lee is unlikely to agree. Professor Yang Ning is so old, and he still bothers him with this kind of thing? ”

"Try it."

Temporarily stopping the video conference, Lu Ming considered his rhetoric for a while, and dialed Li Wenhua's phone with some seriousness and solemnity.

Although he knew that Li Wenhua was a very kind person and considered his subordinates, Lu Ming still couldn't help but be a little nervous when he was on the phone with Li Wenhua.

Maybe it's because Li Wenhua looks too majestic.

"I'm Li Wenhua."

"Hello Director Li, I am Lu Ming, the temporary captain of the second action team."

Lu Ming introduced the current progress of the investigation, explained the difficulties he was facing at the moment, and then put forward his own requirements very solemnly.

"I hope to be authorized to reveal our findings to Professor Yang Ning. I think Professor Yang Ning will be interested in this and give some guidance and help in the direction of follow-up investigation. ”

During the phone, Li Wenhua was silent for a moment, and then asked slowly: "Lu Ming, you don't have the confidence to rely on your own strength to find out about this matter?" ”

Lu Ming felt a little embarrassed. But he still had to say the word "yes".

"In that case, I suggest that you list this eucalyptus as a hanging eucalyptus. Or, you apply, and I'll transfer Team 16 to take over the follow-up investigation. ”

Lu Ming was stunned, and then instinctively refused.

"Nope. Director Li, this eucalyptus should be continued by our second team. ”

Zhang Dingshan is still in a coma at the moment, how could Lu Ming give this eucalyptus to others? Especially to the sixteenth team?

Li Wenhua said slowly: "Since you want to check, then continue to check." The Planetary Security Agency will continue to give you the appropriate permissions. But...... Professor Yang Ning is old. It is the wish of all of us to let him live with peace of mind. ”

Lu Ming had a thousand words to say in his heart, but in the end he only said one word.

"Yes."

It's really like what Li Wenhua said.

Professor Yang Ning's contribution to the entire human world is too great. He was in his nineties and had no years to live. Let such an old man bother with some "little things", how can he bear it?

Isn't the support given by the Planetary Security Agency to the operation team enough? If even this is not enough, even to the point of alarming Professor Yang Ning, it can only prove that your ability is lacking. Since there is a lack of ability, it is either replaced or listed as a suspension.

At this moment, Lu Ming's heart was full of frustration. He couldn't help but have doubts in his heart: "Is it really my lack of ability?" ”

However, in the face of such a thing as the randomness at the bottom of the universe being affected, I'm afraid that no matter who comes to replace it, it will be helpless, right?

"Lu Ming, don't think about it too much, that person from Li is like this, he speaks more directly...... Uh, it's not straight, it's talking heavily. We're used to it, and the captain has quarreled with him several times. ”

Speaking of Zhang Dingshan, remembering that Zhang Dingshan was still in a coma, Lu Ming's mood was even worse.

"Cheer up, Lu Ming, your ability is very strong, why are you not as good as me? Can't stand the blow at all? ”

"Stop, stop."

Lu Ming interrupted He Wei with a wry smile: "If you can't comfort people, don't comfort you." I'm fine, but if you comfort me for a while, maybe I'll be so sad that I'll kill myself. ”

He Wei pursed her lips: "In front of me, you can't die if you want to." ”

"Okay, okay, you're amazing. Let's get on with the meeting. ”

Lu Qingliang's figure appeared on the screen again. When Lu Ming told about the communication process with Li Wenhua, Lu Qingliang looked like this.

"Lu Ming, you don't have to be depressed. What Li Chu means is not that you are not capable, and the key problem is not here. ”

"Huh?"

"What Li meant was actually that this matter was too small, even if it couldn't be found out in the end and became a hanging egg, so what? Is there still less hanging in our Planetary Security Agency? If every hanging eucalyptus bothered an old-timer like Professor Yang Ning, then the old-timers would not be annoyed to death? Didn't you listen to what Li said, he suggested that you be listed as a hanger! ”

"It's too small?!"

Lu Ming immediately wanted to refute, but the next moment, he didn't say anything.

Is this a big deal? In their own opinion, it is huge. But is it really big?

If it is full of calculations, it will also involve a forest shen and a destiny organization. Although there is speculation that "the god of fate is accelerating his resurrection", this is only speculation. And, even if the speculation comes true, will there necessarily be some catastrophic results?

Not necessarily, I'm afraid, right?

In that case, things can't be said to be small?

Lu Ming realized that the truth was very likely to be as Lu Qingliang said, and this was what Director Li Wenhua really meant. He really didn't mean to say that he was incompetent.

Lu Ming's mood was slightly better, but he was full of helplessness.

Next to him, He Wei sighed: "You will comfort people if you are still Qingliang." It's only a few words, you see that Lu Ming will be fine. ”

Lu Ming glanced at He Wei and said, "This eucalyptus may really not be big." But...... The captain is still unconscious. ”

If this eucalyptus is not investigated, Zhang Dingshan may never wake up.

He Wei said quietly: "This is the fate of the members of our Operations Department. ”

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Lu Ming remembered the teammates in the Operations Department who died one after another in the investigation process.

Not to mention the rest of the squad, just the second team of the operation that he is in. Zhang Dingshan's wife "disappeared".

It is said that it is missing, but in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that it is just a nice statement. There is a high probability that she is dead.

In comparison, Zhang Dingshan may be lucky.

He's at least alive.

He Wei was also in danger and almost died. He was once sent to an alien planet and almost died in the sea of stars.

Except for Lu Qingliang, who can only choose to be an internal staff member because of family factors, who in the second team of the operation has not encountered mortal danger?

Maybe...... This is really the fate of our investigators.

"Isn't the relationship between Li and the captain very good?"

"Li will not abolish the public for personal reasons."

Lu Qingliang said: "Lu Ming, I suggest that you find someone else to replace Professor Yangning." There are so many outstanding scientists, not necessarily only Professor Yang Ning can help you. ”

Lu Ming waved his hand a little weakly: "I'll think about it again." ”

He really didn't have the confidence to get help from others. Because of this problem, some of it is already "outside of science". Except for Professor Yang Ning, who is great enough and has withdrawn from the front line of scientific research, and has enough time to think about the relationship between human beings and the universe, and to think about the meaning of the universe and other philosophical questions, who else can answer their doubts and help themselves?

But Lu Ming can confirm one thing. That is, even if you can't get help from the outside world, this eucalyptus must be investigated. Absolutely, definitely not stopping.

Lu Ming began to fall into a long thought. In the fate organization manor that had already transported the pigs away, on the secluded tree-lined path, Lu Ming kept walking back and forth, constantly thinking.

In just three days, he was already full of emaciation and unshaven beard. He Wei saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart. But there is nothing she can do to change the situation.

What she didn't know was that in this manor, in addition to Lu Ming, there was another person who couldn't sleep at night and was exhausted.

In the southeast corner of the manor, in a small two-story building divided for Wen Cheng's use, there were all kinds of rubbings at the moment, and the paper was full of all kinds of strange symbols.

Wen Cheng buried himself in the pile of old papers, his eye sockets were deep, his eyes were blank, and his spirit seemed to be extremely tired, and he seemed to be in extreme excitement.

The meaning of this symbol should be sacrifice. Well, this is a sarcophagus, but why are there more lines around the sarcophagus? Could it be that the sarcophagus glows? No, it can't be, it's not glowing, it's not the same as the symbol that represents the sun. ”

"The ancestors of the Dali culture were about to set out to conquer a tribe near a river, and it was a huge military campaign, and before this operation, they held a large-scale sacrifice. But what exactly happened during this sacrifice? ”
