Chapter 9: In vain

I was surprised: "What??? ”

Brother Shui then added: "Drinking potions is a daily routine for me, and gradually I will not have side effects such as not being able to sleep." I drank the potion for a long time, in order to ensure that most of the time there was a relatively recent time backtracking point for me to choose. As long as you imagine the picture of drinking the potion at different points in time, and interpret that picture as the present, you can go back to the corresponding point in time. In my timeline, I've only gone back in time twice for this experiment.

The first time was when the good people ran away and reported to me in a panic to Qian. Since the last time I drank the potion, it was just after the good people had escaped. I don't want to go back in time too early, and I know that there is a corner on the east side of the dormitory building that is relatively hidden, I have seen your dormitory software and Yongqi go there, and I have a certain certainty that the good people may hide there, so I first found the hiding place of the good people, and then went back to about 9:50. For the first backtrack, it must have been more than ten minutes, and that time was when the good people had just escaped. I called Xiang Qian, and before he could open his mouth to report that Liangmin had run away, I first told him where Liangmin was hiding next, and asked him to chase after him quickly. I didn't tell Xiang Qian about the potion, but for some reason, he believed that as long as he listened to what I said, even if he went too far, he wouldn't fail.

As a result, Xiang Qian just arrested the person back to the basement, and the police were waiting for him there. In the current timeline, the only people who have the ability to do it are me and you, so I think you did it. So I went straight back to seven o'clock in the evening. For the second backtrack, it was only a few hours back.

I think it's more time-saving to go back to the dorm and chat with you. You're a smart guy and you should have tried time backtracking many times, right? Then you should be able to figure out that there is no point in fighting me. I've only gone back twice, both times for a very small amount of time. I don't want to recreate a two-day battle plan for you, or change the time of your experiment to after the human centipede experiment. I've been doing different experiments for over a year and I just want to get everything done quickly, time is of the essence for me. It was a small accident for you to meet Ah Ping, so I chose to spend more than ten minutes chatting with you so that you don't have to go back in time. ”

"No, no, how is this possible...... I've been through it three times, and once you even managed to make a human centipede, and each time it took more than two days...... "I'm a little incredulous."

Brother Shui explained: "I don't know how many times you have been through. The essence of going back to time is to go back to the soul. It is to tell oneself about one's present self about one of the countless kinds of futures that have never happened. What happens to you in the future is only in your memory. Just like you don't have the memory of Xiang Qian being taken by the police, that's one of my memories in the future. ”

I'm getting a little hopeless. If it is really as Brother Shui said, he is the first person in the world to drink the potion, no matter how hard I try, no matter how stubborn I resist, I am just a clown who will appear in the future in his memory.

"Then why did you do this experiment on human centipedes? I really don't understand, how can this kind of experiment help your research?! "I had a question that had been bothering me for a long time.

"You don't need to understand." Brother Shui shook his head, "I understand that this experiment will take a long time. You tied me up so that I couldn't be in a relaxed state, and you did have a certain amount of wisdom to be able to come up with this method. But to understand this experiment, there is still a bit of lack of fire.

You just need to know that this is definitely not to satisfy any of my hobbies, this is a significant experiment. After the experiment, I will go back to the point in time before the experiment started, and the fact that they were experimented on will no longer exist. However, this experiment may have to be repeated hundreds of times to avoid the success or failure of the experiment due to occasional phenomena. And you, I'll go back to May 28 thirty days after the start of the calculation on May 28th, and I'll tell you why.

If the results of our chat are good, then you probably won't be going back to May 28 sooner. The two experiments are unrelated, and if all goes well, in my timeline, it should be May 28th, after you drink the potion, tell me how you are in the future thirty days later. On May 30th, after I drank the potion, the future me passed me the records of hundreds of experiments. Now there is a small accident in the experiment, that is, you know the way to go back in time in advance, and you have to stop my human centipede experiment. ”

I grabbed Brother Shui's collar: "I don't agree with your approach!" According to your logic, as long as you drink the potion, you can kill people and set fires, and anyway, as long as you go back in time, this is something that never happened. But until you go back in time, this is the real, real world! Breaking the knees and bones of the experimenters, they really felt the pain, why should they bear such a thing??? If you go out and are hit by a car and can't go back in time, then they are disabled for life, right? ”

At this time, tears gleamed in the corners of Brother Shui's eyes: "I don't want to do this either, but I have no other way." Have you ever wondered why human civilization has developed for 7,000 years, and according to the Kardashev hierarchy, human beings are only 0.728 civilizations? This is determined by the longevity of human beings!

Our average life expectancy determines that no matter how great a scientist is, he can exist in the world and export his own cognition and thinking to the world, no more than 100 years. A question that I haven't figured out for a hundred years has been proven to half of the Goldbach conjecture, what Riemann conjecture, with his own life, he was brought into the grave! And for future generations, it will take decades to learn the existing conclusions of their predecessors in a certain field! How many years do he have to live to create new perceptions? If Einstein could drink this bottle of potion and go back to his youth every time before he died, he would be able to tell the world the results of his thinking for the next 1,000, 2,000, or 3,000 years without time advancing! While the world is developing faster with his theories, he looks at existing theories to produce new theories, or brings back some high-tech technology principles developed in the past few decades to tell the corresponding scientific research departments, and so on, can you imagine what our world will be like today? Humanity will be the greatest civilization in the universe!

So, believe me, this is an extremely important experiment on the way to perfecting the technology of time rewinding! Their temporary sacrifice is for the future of the entire human civilization, and they will be the greatest experimenters in the history of mankind! If I can't change your mind after saying so much, you can go back in time, let this conversation cease to exist, and continue to stop my experiments in vain, and stop the development of the entire human civilization! ”

"Human civilization ......" Although I still can't agree with his statement, I can't stop him. Time technology is truly great. But for the sake of such a high-sounding reason for the development of human civilization, do the experimenters have to suffer such pain? He was the first to drink the potion, he was invincible, he was a god, and we were just guinea pigs at will? If he dies unexpectedly, the experimenter who was injured by him will not be able to return to the state of being unharmed, should the experimenter suffer for the sake of human development? Why is the tram puzzle a problem, and why is the choice between one life versus five lives, sparking debates among philosophers? The reason for this is that there is no distinction between high and low life, and five lives are not necessarily more valuable than one! If the value of life can be compared, then the heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidney of a homeless man can save five highly educated talents, can he sacrifice this homeless man to make the society develop better? This is bound to be undesirable!

But...... It's also in vain to think so much. I didn't kill him, and I was willing to be sentenced to death or life in prison. Even if I go back in time, it's hard for me to commit a perfect crime in a college dormitory. And going back in time, if you are not careful, history will change, and Brother Shui may not come to talk to me again.

And in the final analysis, Brother Shui didn't decide to do these things because of the darkness in his heart. Extreme ideas should not arise because of disagreement with methods. And sacrificing one of Brother Shui to save three roommates also contradicts the thinking of the tram problem? I'm just their roommate, and I don't have to do it to that extent. If nothing happens, he would have gone back in time after the experiment, and my roommate would not have been hurt in my memory.

"I see, I'll untie you."
