At that moment, Liang Xian’s heart welled up with feelings that couldn’t be described in words, he wanted to spread his arms to embrace Tan Yan, wishing to convey to him how his heart felt at that moment.
But before he even had time to move his fingers, Tan Yan put down his hand, turned the swivel chair half a turn, and went to cut Ah San’s nails in the next bed.
The heartache from artificial respiration hit again, and Liang Xian quickly tugged at Tan Yan’s clothes.
Tan Yan felt that someone was pulling him from behind, he instantly realized who it was, turned around excitedly, and saw Liang Xian looking at himself with a face full of longing.
“You’re awake!” he said happily.
“Um,” Seeing him so happy, Liang Xian couldn’t help but pretend to be profound, “I think I need…”
A hug.
It’s a pity that when the words were only half spoken, Tan Yan took a cup of warm water from the bedside and handed it to his lips: “You need to drink water, right? I know, that’s how it’s done in TV dramas.”
Liang Xian: “…”
Didn’t read novels, look at what TV drama, the plot seemed to be old-fashioned! Is there any plot of drinking water in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?!
Before the tenderness in his heart could be expressed, Tan Yan pressed the pager. A group of people carrying instruments crowded into the room in a few seconds.
“Are you awake?” Qiao Zhixue forced his way through a pile of instruments under pressure, and was the first to rush to Liang Xian, “How do you feel right now? Are you dizzy? How is your physical condition? Follow me for an examination in a while, I will check your physical information from all aspects.”
Before Qiao Zhixue finished speaking, an old gray-haired professor pressed his head down with his own strength, and said with a kind smile: “Young man, the body is good, healed from such a serious injury. We need to collect your blood and DNA samples, it would be even better if you give spinal fluid, do you mind…”
“Get out of the way.” Minister Yu’s majestic voice came from behind.
In a flash, everyone in the medical room stepped aside, and a passage appeared in front of Minister Yu. He said lightly: “There are still two patients who have not woken up, how can you behave like this? They are the future pillars of our country, not guinea pigs and Tang Monk1唐僧 Tángsēng: Tang Sanzang is a Buddhist monk and pilgrim who is a central character in the 16th-century novel Journey to the West by Wu Cheng’en. Tang Sanzang is based on the historical Tang Dynasty monk, Xuanzang. you experiment on. Xiao Xu, take them to learn about the confidentiality agreement. Except for the medical staff involved in the treatment, nothing about these four people is allowed to be revealed, all of them are classified as first-level confidential information.”
First-level confidential… It’s a bit worse than Tan Yan’s special grade.
Xu Mingyu took everyone out except Qiao Zhixue, and the room immediately cleared up. Minister Yu walked up to Liang Xian.
“Minister Yu.” Liang Xian immediately sat up straight and lifted his hand to salute.
His hand was only halfway up when Minister Yu stopped him: “Don’t move, your hand is still injured…”
Halfway through the sentences, he saw Liang Xian’s smooth arm without any scars, he had long since healed himself.
Minister Yu retracted Liang Xian’s arm and accepted the salute.
“How does your body feel now?” Minister Yu asked, concerned.
Only then did Liang Xian have time to observe his body and found that not only had the frostbite and burns healed, but even the comminuted fracture, which had been claimed to cause mobility problems in the future, was gone.
“Why is this happening?” Liang Xian knew his physical condition. Before he fainted, he thought that if he was injured like this, even if he awakened his abilities in the future, he might become a cripple.
He didn’t expect that the ability can also enhance the self-healing ability of the body.
“We also want to know why,” Qiao Zhixue seized the opportunity to rush up, “Come with me to do some tests.”
Liang Xian was also very curious about his physical condition, he is very cooperative. Qiao Zhixue pushed the wheelchair over. Liang Xian was just about to say that it was not needed now and he feel so good that he could go to the Cannonball Marathon, but Tan Yan picked him up and put him in the wheelchair.
Liang Xian: “…”
This action of Tan Yan, shouldn’t become a habit, right…
“What was that appearance?” Minister Yu snorted, “Isn’t your injury healed? Why are you still being carried? Why did the Central Military Academy produce such a delicate student like you!”
Liang Xian: “…”
When Liang Xian did the examination, Tan Yan also did a detailed brain examination, and it was concluded that the activity of Tan Yan’s brain cells was as high as 70%, far more active than the other three.
“Sure enough, the most important reason for your specialness is in the brain.” Qiao Zhixue frantically recorded the data, as if a new world had opened up before his eyes.
Liang Xian frowned. He tossed himself into that state in a different world, and eventually, he did feel the special energy particles that Tan Yan mentioned, but he didn’t expect that it was not the body that awakened in the end, but the brain.
Looking at his healed body, he couldn’t help but wonder if it was possible that the reason for awakening the power was not a state of near death at all, but other… different things.
When they were still in the examination room, they heard the news that Ah San and Qin Li had also woken up. These two are in the same condition as Liang Xian, both are physically healed before the brain allows them to regain consciousness, with good physical condition and 35% brain activity.
After undergoing the same examination and confirming that the three of them are in the best condition and there is no psychological shadow caused by going to another world once, Minister Yu and others took them out of the hospital, and returned to the ‘void phenomenon’ research base of the Ministry of State Security in B City.
Several core researchers are waiting for them in the meeting room, there are only 7 technical staff members plus Xu Mingyu and Qiao Zhixue, of which only 5, including Minister Yu, know the actual age of Tan Yan, but is said to be the highest level of confidentiality.
Qin Li was a little nervous, Ah San was not very good at interacting with these old professors, and both of them were very reserved, the experiences in the different world are mainly narrated by Liang Xian.
He said the speculation that the other world was a parallel post-apocalyptic world of Earth, briefly described the process of handing over their data in the other world, and finally, in an exceptionally concise manner, described the awakening process of the three people’s powers in one sentence.
But it was this short sentence that was immediately caught by Minister Yu: “Trying to get power in the near-death state, messing around!”
Liang Xian and the others remained silent.
“You guys are lucky this time, but what if you can’t hold on? Or didn’t get the power of awakening, and the wounds received cannot be healed for life? And no one knows if this ability can also improve the body’s self-healing ability. Even if you awaken your power, what if you can’t heal yourself? Have you ever considered these issues? How can you think like this!” Minister Yu was so angry that he wanted to slap the table.
Tan Yan thought of Liang Xian’s efforts and wanted to speak for him, but just as he opened his mouth, he heard Minister Yu roar: “And you, Tan Yan! What is the task I entrusted to you?”
Tan Yan immediately stood up and said: “Select suitable talents to enter the ‘void’, guide them properly, and nurture them to become independent successors…”
At the end of the sentences, Tan Yan couldn’t continue. He recalled his performance in the ‘void’, no matter how he looked at it, he was not a qualified teacher and leader.
“Then you ask yourself, have you done it?”
“Report to the minister, I didn’t do it!” Tan Yan firmly admitted his mistake.
“The good thing is that you also brought back the parallel world of conjecture, otherwise you will not enter it again in the future!” Minister Yu said angrily.
Liang Xian and Ah San, who had been speaking so eloquently in the ‘void’, shut their mouths and dared not make a sound, and Qin Li also hung his head low.
In retrospect, it seems that since Tan Yan punched the meteorite, their brain circuit began to be abnormal, they became blindly confident, daring to break into the other world base alone. Also doing everything to awaken their supernatural ability, desperately exposing themselves to the terrible ultraviolet ray, refused to listen to Tan Yan’s advice.
Every step is really trying to die, it’s just luck that they didn’t die in the end.
“I was wrong.” Liang Xian lowered his head and said in a low voice.
“Me too.” Ah San and Qin Li followed closely behind.
“Go back and write an introspection, the content must be profound, and those who have an improper attitude don’t even think of going to the ‘void’ again. An unknown world, so dangerous, not a place for you to play!” Minister Yu’s last sentence was almost a roar. None of the four dared to speak.
Only after conducting ideological education did Minister Yu give the right to speak to the professionals.
“I have doubts about the assumption that all worlds beyond the ‘void’ are parallel worlds of Earth.” said Professor Fei Yindun, the research team leader, “At the time Minister Yu and Tan Yan entered the ‘void’, according to the description of Minister Yu, the creatures of that world doesn’t exist on Earth.”
“But it could also be argued that that world has been on a different path from ours since the Cretaceous period or even earlier.” The deputy team leader retorted, “Before there is solid proof, even if we encounter a hundred parallel worlds, it doesn’t mean that all we have entered was a parallel world.”
“I think it’s a parallel world.” Qiao Zhixue deviated from his usual rigorous attitude and firmly supported the arguments of several soldiers, “We still don’t know what the ‘void’ is, nor why it takes us to other worlds. But assuming that the parallel world argument is correct, all these questions can be answered.”
“What answer?” Xu Mingyu is the most junior in the group, if he had not witnessed Minister Yu being taken into the ‘void’ by Tan Yan, he would definitely not be qualified to join the research team. Now he is in a state of learning and observing within the team.
Quantum coherence2Originally in English.——Qiao Zhixue typed these letters on his computer and projected them on the conference room screen.
Quantum coherence, is the word that came to everyone’s mind.
Tan Yan: “…”
“At present, it is known that the ‘void’ will only occur in the part of the earth with the same longitude as B City, and it will continue to spread. My hypothesis is that this geographical location for some reason got quantum entanglement with other worlds, there will be the situation of another world, and our worlds began to erode each other.” Qiao Zhixue analyzed.
“Einstein once made a prediction based on the hypothesis that in a high-energy gas pedal, an electron and a positron produced by energy are in a superposition of rightward and leftward spins when no one is observing them, and that these two spins are related to each other. We have always wondered why after Tan Yan enters a ‘void’, the other void stops spreading. I think this relationship can explain this matter.
In addition, why is it that every time Tan Yan returns to the real world it will be in front of the tombstone? I think it has something to do with quantum entanglement. As we all know, once the entanglement between quanta occurs, even at both ends of the universe, this entanglement will not stop. After Tan Yan entered the different world, he still had quantum entanglement with the tombstone or the people in the tombstone, which allowed him to accurately find the connection point between the two worlds every time and come back through quantum transmission.”
Tan Yan: “…”
He was confused, but the people around him kept recording and analyzing Qiao Zhixue’s words, and they all nodded their heads, thinking that Qiao Zhixue’s hypothesis is very likely to be true.
Tan Yan: “…”
He quietly nudged Liang Xian with his arm and whispered: “What are they saying?”
Liang Xian also had this hypothetical possibility, but he knew too little about the details, for example, he didn’t know that Tan Yan would return to the tombstone every time, but he had the experience of returning from another world himself, and he had some ideas about it.
“Analyzing the cause of the ‘void’ and the principle of our travel.” Liang Xian explained, “Quantum mechanics is a course in our third year, but it’s not compulsory, and there will be no exams. It is just a course for interested students to choose their future direction. I’m interested in quantum mechanics, I studied it when I was bored in high school.”
Boring time in high school…
Tan Yan tries to recall the intensity of study in Ping County High School, from 7:00 am to 23:00 pm, will there still be times to be bored? Moreover, students in special classes not only take part in the national college entrance examination, but also spend half of their time on physical training…
Tan Yan, who deeply felt the gap between people, looked at Liang Xian in awe.
The junior high school Chinese textbooks do not deceive him, ‘If three people walk together, at least one of the other two is good enough to be a teacher’3三人行必有我師 sān rénxíng bì yǒu wǒ shī: You have something to learn from everyone. One of the most famous sentences from the Analects of Confucius [Section: 述而 shù ér]. Note: “Analects” could be paraphrased as “Collected Teachings” (The Confucian Analects were not written by Confucius; they were compiled by his disciples). Full text: 子曰三人行必有我師焉擇其善者而從之其不善者而改之 zǐ yuē sān rén xíng bì yǒu wǒ shī yān zé qí shàn zhě ér cóng zhī qí bù shàn zhě ér gǎi zhī: There is always something to learn from other people. You can adopt their good habits and correct yourself if you notice some of their bad habits in yourself. Liang Xian is definitely his spiritual teacher! Tan Yan thought silently.
Since he thought he had already answered Tan Yan’s question, Liang Xian’s thoughts became a little more precise, he raised his hand.
Team Leader Fei Yindun signaled for him to speak.
“I just recalled my experience when I returned from another world,” Liang Xian blushed a little, “Although I was in a coma at that time, my brain was in a highly active state, and I should have recorded this experience in my subconscious.”
“We can’t perceive the subconscious mind, it just has an influence on the conscious mind, and sometimes it can also become part of intuition or sixth sense,” Deputy Fu said, “How do you identify your memories as subconscious?”
“While in a coma, I had a dream,” Liang Xian explained, “We all know that dreams are an expression of the subconscious mind, and you also said that the subconscious mind is a component of intuition, and my intuition tells me that this dream is the experience of crossing through worlds.”
“What kind of dream is it?”
“I dreamed of the void, because the world we traveled through had no atmosphere, so in the dream, I felt like I was in a void, without any oxygen around, the sun was unbearably hot, and I was vaporized into particles in an instant. But in the next second, the air became extremely cold again, and I quickly condensed together and was frozen back into a human form.”
Ah San also raised his hand: “Report, although Liang Xian and I had different dreams, but the main thread of decomposition and reconstruction is the same.”
Two people had a similar dream, everyone could not help but put their eyes on Qin Li, who was also unconscious.
Qin Li: “…”
“…I never dream when I sleep.” He replied awkwardly.
Tan Yan felt moved immediately, and firmly held classmate Qin Li’s hand under the table, expressing that he also not dreaming when sleeping, the sleep quality was quite good.
Liang Xian, who saw Tan Yan taking the initiative to hold Qin Li’s hand: “…”
A sense of soreness silently rose in his heart, he tried his best to ignore this feeling and continued: “At first, I thought it was just a dream, but after hearing Professor Qiao’s hypothesis of quantum entanglement, I thought it might be a manifestation of transmission.”
“Human beings have imagined quantum transmission. For example, I have a book in B City and want to show it to a friend in the United States. The transmission method of classical physics is that I use a scanner to pass the book through the network system and a friend in the United States prints out the book, this is the classic signal transmission. But the shortcomings of traditional transmission are known to everyone, it is incomplete. My friends in the United States can only get part of the information about the book. Its color, weight, thickness of the paper or molecular structure of the paper are unknown to the other party, but quantum signal transmission is a different story.
Suppose I am on Earth, and Tan Yan is on Mars, I have electron A, and he has electron B. Electron AB is in a state of entanglement. Any action or information exerted on electron A can be obtained by electron B in an instant. Then if I apply the information from this book to electron A, Tan Yan can receive this book even if he is on Mars.
I think we are decomposed into electrons or even smaller particle forms at the connection point between the other world and the earth through quantum signal transmission, and because of the tombstone just mentioned by Tan Yan and Professor Qiao just now has quantum entanglement, we are transmitted in front of the tombstone.”
Liang Xian’s words made everyone silent. This idea is too terrifying, but it is also well-founded, it is really irrefutable.
After several short chapters, the author came back with a vengeance, this chapter is more than 6k words! The second part will be posted soon.
If you like my translations, a cup of coffee would be much appreciated. Thank you!
