Chapter XXXVII. experiment

When the shadow came up from the well, he still carried a human head in his hand. Because it was dark at the time, Xiao Qicai didn't recognize what it was at the first time. But I could almost see at a glance that the shadow had taken out the head of the man in the well that was crushed under the large pebbles. It's a lot of courage. At the same time, I wondered. How did she climb up with a human head in one hand?

Could it be that the arm strength of Shadow's one hand can actually support her body and climb up a little bit? Sure enough, he is a super tough fighter!

At this time, Xiao Qicai looked at the human head and asked with an unnatural expression, "Did you find anything?" The shadow shook her head slowly, looked at me, and didn't speak, but the meaning was already obvious, that is, after she went down the well, it was the same situation as I found it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the head.

At the same time, I feel like the shadow is doing it. There is another purpose, which is that I just said that this person is neither male nor female, and it is better to wear a mask (in fact, he is secretly satirizing the shadow), so the shadow holds a grudge and brings the head up to scare us.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel that the shadow is a little childish.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the shadow to quietly lift the head in front of me and Xiao Qicai, dangling it like carrying an ordinary watermelon.

I have to say, the shadow trick is really too ruthless, although Xiao Qicai and I are more courageous than the average person, but it always feels very awkward to see a lonely human head always appear in our field of vision.

After a while, Xiao Qicai said helplessly, "We all know that you are a head professional." Can you consider the feelings of others? ”

I felt that the best thing to do at this point was to ignore her at all. So I went straight to the point, "After that guy went down the well just now, I suddenly had an idea, but I don't know if it's right or not, you can help me analyze it." ”

Little Qicai said, "What do you think?" ”

I looked at the well not far from us and said, "We did see the corpse with our own eyes. Jumped down the well, right? ”

Xiao Qicai nodded and said, "Yes!" What are you trying to express? ”

I continued on my own train of thought, "However, Shadow and I didn't find Mei's body in the well just now, the only possibility is that Mei went to another dimension, do you agree?" "Mu Xiang is a doctor.

Xiao Qicai nodded again and said, "Agreed!" ”

I said. "Remember when we came to Rainy Village? It was supposed to be half an hour's journey, but we walked out of the same speed for an extra seven or eight hours, which is an extra distance out of thin air. So suppose the other way around, if Xiaomei was falling down at a speed of about 2 meters per second at that time. And the speed at which we just went down the well, let's say 0.1 meters per second, then. Because of the difference in speed and time, does it mean that we enter different spaces? ”

Xiao Qicai's body shook and said, "Although you don't express it very clearly, maybe what you said is completely possible!" Because according to the content of the theory of relativity, the distance traveled is different depending on the speed, so the space entered is also different. Could it be that it is precisely because Xiaomei is falling faster than us that she has entered a space that we can't enter anyway with the speed at which we just got down the well? ”

At this time, I saw that the shadow kept looking at us, (I felt that she didn't understand what I and Xiao Qicai said) so I gave a very simple example, more easy to understand, "Suppose Xiaomei and I each enter an elevator that only goes down at the same time, Xiaomei descends twice as fast as me, but we take the same amount of time." Then, by the time I descended to the 8th floor, Xiaomei would probably have descended to the 16th floor...... And the area where the 8th and 16th floors are located is definitely different. ”

Xiao Qicai said very excitedly, "Not bad! This can also explain why you and Shadow went down the well just now, but you couldn't find Xiaomei's body! Because you are on the 8th floor, you can't see Xiaomei on the 16th floor at all! ”

I said, "So if you want to see Xiaomei, you must maintain the same speed as Xiaomei!" ”

This means that if our assumptions are correct, we shouldn't use anything like a rope to go down the well. Instead, jump down directly, maybe you can directly reach the space where Xiaomei was at that time.

However......

This assumption is entirely based on maintaining the same speed as Xiaomei.

But there's one of the biggest problems......

What if we were faster than Xiaomei? Will you go straight down to the 20th floor and come to a different space?

And if we are only a little slower than Xiaomei, will we come to the 7th floor instead of the 8th floor, or we will not see Xiaomei?

Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of another question, and I couldn't help but scream.

Xiao Qicai hurriedly asked me, "Big pufferfish, what did you think of?" ”

At this point, the shadow couldn't help but move slightly towards us, as if it wanted to hear more clearly. At that time, I was so shocked by what I suddenly thought of, so I didn't have time to pay attention to Shadow's actions, but first explained my thoughts, and then added, "Since ancient times, there has been a legend of the 18th floor of hell. Don't you think that the 18th floor of hell is very closely related to this mysterious well? ”

My words are a bit hard to understand. But Xiao Qicai combined with our previous speculation, and immediately made some clear words, "Do you mean ......?"

I said quickly, "As long as you are a person, from the time you are sensible, you will slowly hear about the 18th floor of hell. However, where exactly is the 18th floor of hell? Has anyone actually been? All the claims about the 18th floor of hell are hypothesized and mythical out of thin air. In fact, the origin of the 18th layer of hell comes from Buddhism. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the "Eighteen Mud Plough Sutra", according to the original meaning of this, it should refer to the length of time of suffering and the severity of the punishment. Eighteen Levels of Hell, the further down you go, the more suffering you will suffer. ”

Xiao Qicai thought for a while and said, "But it seems that some scholars have pointed out that the "layer" of the eighteen layers of hell does not refer to the upper and lower spaces, but lies in the difference in time and criminal law, especially in time. ”

I said, "Time is a unique term created by human beings, and perhaps it is precisely because no one can understand that the same time and different speeds can go to different spaces, so they think that the 18th floor of hell is only a difference in time. Because none of them have ever been to the rainy village! But...... Perhaps the author of "The Eighteen Mud Plough Sutras" has been to the same place as us, so the meaning he wants to express may not be what people understand! ”

Xiao Qicai frowned and was about to speak. I took a deep breath and preemptively said, "Remember our earlier speculation?" If the prototype of hell and heaven is really the rainy village? It is precisely because of the very special spatial structure here that it is not the same as the outside world, so this well can also be said to be the prototype of the eighteenth layer of hell, and the rainy village is also the so-called hell, isn't it consistent with all the legendary structures about hell? ”

Xiao Qicai and Shadow listened dumbfounded at the same time, and then, Xiao Qicai muttered, "If your assumption is correct, all this is simply amazing!" But I have to admit that you have some truth in what you say! ”

I said, "I'm just going to explain from another perspective what the so-called eighteen layers of hell are all about. Perhaps it is because of the difference in speed that the space leading from this well is also different! Because, this is a place that breaks the common sense theory of time and space of human beings! If we still use the elevator theory just now, we will use 1, 2, 3...... Different speeds, in the same amount of time, can completely enter a different space, don't you think this is very similar to the legend of the 18th floor of hell? ”

Neither Xiao Qicai nor Shadow could say a complete sentence at this time.

For a long time, even the shadow who had been listening to the side couldn't help but say, "Is it what you said, as long as you jump, maybe there will be an answer." But you...... Do you dare to jump? In the end, there was already a hint of provocation in the shadow's tone.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Of course I dare to jump!" But as I said before, I can't guarantee that the speed of jumping with Xiaomei at that time is exactly the same! This may cause Xiaomei to enter the 18th floor at that time, but I entered the 16th floor, what if I go to a different space than Xiaomei and never get out again? ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Qicai and the shadow were silent again.

At this point, I had an idea and said, "Why don't we do an experiment and find out if our previous assumptions are correct." ”

Xiao Qicai said, "Not bad." In fact, we can throw two objects of similar weight into the well and make them fall at different speeds to see if our assumptions are correct. ”

The shadow said, "How do you do the experiment?" ”

I feel that the shadow has unconsciously merged into the world of me and Little Colorful. But she didn't notice it herself. Xiao Qicai and I didn't say anything. At this point, I thought for a moment and said, "This experiment requires the cooperation of the three of us. First, let's find two things that are the same, for example...... Shoes bar. Although there will be a deviation in the weight of the two pairs of shoes, the deviation should not be large. Secondly, we tie one of the shoes and slowly let it fall, and the other shoe can be thrown down in the same amount of time. ”

The shadow said, "But I still don't understand why three people should cooperate at the same time!" ”

I said, "I need you to watch those two shoes fall down there, what's so weird." Because you have just proved with live facts that you can hold up 2 or 3 meters deep in the well, we started this experiment with a depth of about 2 meters. Xiao Qicai and I each take a shoe, you command below, and when you count to three, Xiao Qicai and I put the shoes at the same time to see what is the difference between these two shoes. ”
