How many times have human beings looked up at the stars, letting their thoughts flow in the mountains, rivers and valleys, and wandering in the deep sea and ancient forests.
When the first ape looked away from the devoured food and moved towards the deep darkness and unknown, a trace of confusion appeared in its eyes unconsciously, and wisdom emerged from it. Set sail here.
Whenever we look up and look at the vastness of the universe, some people can’t help but wonder whether there is such a macro universe. Life is so big that we can’t imagine, and life span is so long that we can’t reach it. Just as bacteria cannot imagine elephants. Or, looking at the subtlety, among all the strange atoms and electrons, there are all kinds of life in the microscopic world that are difficult for people to imagine and describe.
Fortunately, there is such a story written in ball lightning, a macrocosmic story, a poetic and picturesque story.
On a strange rainy night, a ball lightning broke into the young man's field of vision. Its whistle was deep and sharp, like a ghost blowing the xun in the ancient wasteland. When the ghost finished playing the music, ball lightning reduced the boy's parents to ashes in an instant, but the bench beneath them was miraculously cold.
On this night, the boy's fate was completely changed. He will spend his whole life trying to solve the natural mystery that turned him into an orphan.
After going through a lot of hardships, the young man visited many scholars and studied with several masters. In the end, he was repeatedly told that this road was unavailable.
In fact, research on ball lightning has been carried out in various countries for many years, because of its unparalleled power, weird characteristics and powerful properties that can penetrate almost any material. It is the potential of high-tech weapons favored by military strategists.
During the pursuit, the young man met Lin Yun, a daughter of a senior official who was also keen on thunder and lightning weapons, an outstanding female doctor of national defense, Lin Yun, and fell in love at first sight.
The two of them worked hard, and Lin Yun even used her father's rights as an admiral to come to Russia to meet with lightning experts from the former Soviet Union. However, the old drunkard once fought against the nation for artificial ball lightning. After millions of experiments, ball lightning has been successfully created only a few times, and the process of creating these ball lightning is absolutely not the same, and there is no similar situation.
The two returned to China and were unable to do anything. At this time, the country also believed that the ball lightning venting plan was unrealistic and stopped funding their research. Fortunately, the teenager's doctoral supervisor introduced them to Ding Yi, a genius in the scientific community. Under Ding Yi's guidance, they finally succeeded in creating ball lightning.
But no one knows anything about the principle of its generation except Ding Yi, and the effects of the ball lightning created are very different. Some can only boil all the liquids in contact with it (like blood), but some only attack certain instrument components. Those ball lightnings that directly burn living bodies to ashes are only a few of the various strange ball lightnings.
Of course, the most surprising thing is that ball lightning must use an almost completely transparent basketball-shaped sphere that exists every tens of kilometers in the atmospheric space, and these secrets are only known by Ding. Yi knows.
At this time, the boy’s mentor, Zhang Bin, who was also immersed in ball lightning research, sent him his research notes. The young man was surprised and horrified to find that after the teacher clearly told him about the nightmarish incident in which he and his wife chased lightning together and the date of his wife's death, there was actually a note from his teacher's wife.
Under those lines of extremely graceful and recognizable handwriting, the last line strangely said that the speed causing F was 426.831 meters per second, and the date left was after his wife was hit, except for this. outside. The young man also saw a photo of his mentor's wife in his notebook. She looked quite old, not as young as she was when she died. The most chilling thing is that there is a memory card in the pocket of the photo, which was produced by the tutor Zhang Bin’s wife long after her death.
The young man recalled the home he had not returned to for more than ten years after his parents were reduced to ashes. The dust was very thin, as if someone had often cleaned it. He clearly remembered that there was no cup that was turned upside down before leaving. It was also firmly placed upside down on the table. The young man only has one key to his home, and there are no signs of being raked over or anything missing, which basically eliminates the possibility of theft. After all, no sophisticated gangster would sneak into a house that had been unoccupied for ten years just to clean it and give a teenager a little supernatural fear.
While feeling deeply weird. At the same time, more and more strange events began to occur in the experimental factory. In the laboratory where ball lightning was used for biological experiments, pigs and birds often screamed late at night. The increase in strange incidents caused the scientific research institute to suspend experiments.
Until Ding Yi spoke again, he told everyone that the transparent spherical material that everyone captured that caused ball lightning was a macroelectron, an electron about the size of a basketball, with an electron diameter of 10^16 in the normal sense. Power times. In order to verify his theory, the research focused on the captured macroelectrons, and finally discovered an absolute center, which is the string-shaped macronucleus beyond people's imagination.
Everyone was excited about the new discovery. Ding Yi also took the opportunity to tell everyone that those creatures destroyed by ball lightning would, like electrons, fall into a quantum state for a long time, an "unpredictable state". "accurate" status.
Before observation, quanta exist in the form of waves. When observed, the quantum must exist in a certain position, that is, the original quantum wave collapses to a point. At this time, the quantum shows particle properties (the wave-particle duality of quantum). In other words, if there is no observer, those seemingly destroyed creatures are actually alive in another form, and when someone observes and watches, it will turn into a point and collapse.
After learning all this, Lin Yun, who was extremely addicted to high-tech weapons because his mother was killed in the Sino-Vietnam border war when he was a child, came up with the crazy idea of ??using macro atoms to produce nuclear fission weapons.
Because of string theory, macroquanta will be very selective when releasing huge energy, and its impact on reality depends on the quantum oscillation, which is the nature of the macroatom itself. A nuclear bomb may have a yield of 20 million TNT, and when fully released, it can destroy all areas with a radius of fifty kilometers and turn them into scorched earth. However, a bomb composed of two macroatoms entangled and fused, if the quantum *** vibrates If it is human hair, it can instantly make people all over the world bald, and no one will even be able to grow hair for a long time. (Actually, I smiled unkindly when I saw this. This is simply good news for bald patients in science and engineering)
At this time, Lin Yun’s father and the people at the institute were trying their best to stop Lin Yun. , since it has never been tested, no one knows what materials are selected for macro-atom entanglement, but as one of the leaders who single-handedly created such a high-tech weapon, Lin Yun cannot give up the idea of ??waiting to see its true power.
At the last moment when the institute was surrounded, the missiles headed towards the institute. Lin Yun pulled the last button of the macro-atom entanglement inside, and the two macro-atoms collided together at a speed of 426.831 meters per second. , a blue sun rose in that place.
The blue sun maintained its maximum state for about half a minute. During this period, it was very stable. Coupled with the strange tranquility that enveloped everything at this time, it actually gave people a sense of eternity in this short period of time. As if it had been there since the birth of the world. The blue sun eclipsed the half-set sunset in the west, and the entire Gobi desert was submerged in its blue light, making the world strange and strange. It is a cold sun, and people cannot feel any of its heat even at close range. At this time, the most incredible spectacle appeared: from the deep interior of the blue sun, many bright little stars flew out radially. As soon as those stars flew out of the boundary of the light sphere, they immediately turned into objects of different sizes. People were extremely shocked when they saw what those flying objects were: they were big tents!
These canopies flying out from the blue sun look very high-quality and are by no means phantoms. They vary in size, with the largest being larger than the original before destruction, becoming exquisite models floating in the sky. These canopies in a quantum superposition state quickly collapsed into a state of destruction in the eyes of observers, and each of them disappeared into the sky, dragging a trail of their own reflections, but the canopies in the quantum state continued to fly out from the center of the photosphere. , this is a big canopy of probability cloud, which is spreading into the sky. The blue sun is also shrouded in the probability cloud. Only the observer can restrain the expansion of the cloud.
The material vibrating in this macro-atom entanglement is the chip. The energy generated by the fusion will turn 80,000 tons of chips scattered in an area with a radius of more than 100 kilometers into ashes, and then continue It advanced and spread outward for more than a thousand kilometers before being completely attenuated by the huge number of chips along the way, pulling one-third of the country back to the agricultural era.
The story is almost over here, and the story of the boy chasing ball lightning is also over. The girl who once accompanied him and fanatically pursued an equally unrealistic dream was buried in the cold ice created by her lifelong dream. In the sun.
But Lin Yun did not disappear. The boy continued to grow up like all ordinary people, married a wife and had children, but one day he suddenly found a bouquet of quantum roses on his desk, a beautiful blue color, dreamy and pure. But when he looked at it seriously, the rose suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed. But this is the normal state of quantum matter.
He could only smell the faint fragrance and stare at the empty amethyst vase, but he could never really look up at it, but he knew that the bouquet of roses was there, right there.
Just like that flamboyant and wanton girl, the unruly and sharp Lin Yun, she no longer exists in his life or this world, but he knows that she is there, living happily in another place.
Gazing is a strong observation, while smelling is a weak observation. According to Ding Yi, the young man still hopes to see a blue rose with his own eyes again in this life.
From the perspective of quantum mechanics, the death process of a person is the process of changing from a strong observer to a weak observer and then to a non-observer. When the boy becomes a weak observer, Rose's The collapse speed of the probability cloud into the destruction state will be slower, and the young man can hope to see it.
Perhaps one day, when the young man reaches the end of his life, when he opens his eyes for the last time on his deathbed, all his knowledge and memories will gradually disappear into the abyss of the past and return to the past. When it comes to the innocent feelings and dreams of childhood, that should be the time when the quantum rose smiles at the boy.
