The world enters the age of myth

He found some manuscripts from Professor Huang's mobile phone.

These documents are saved in the mailbox and should be important confidential information that will be sent out soon.

The first document, "Research Report on Dimensionless Numbers in Nature", in the past, this kind of document would have been hard to read just by looking at its name.

But this was a special moment. Lu Yiming clicked on it and pondered for a long time, and finally saw a reason.

It focuses on an important dimensionless number in physics, the "fine structure constant", whose calculation formula is α=e^2/(4πεc).

Generally speaking, 1/α≈137 (more approximately 137.03599976) is a fixed constant, which is stipulated by physical rules.

But now, almost every measurement in the laboratory will find that this constant has changed! ! There is always a subtle change in one or two of the parameters. So the fine structure constant began to fluctuate around the original measured value!

This incident has brought some insiders to the point of collapse. Their experimental data are different every time!

What kind of scientific experiments are conducted under such circumstances?

The results of each collision at the LHC Large Hadron Collider in Europe will be different, and the probability function of de Broglie waves has also undergone a series of subtle changes. Even past experimental data cannot be repeated, and the underlying physical foundation no longer appears to be so reliable.

In order to cover up this fact, government departments in various countries are forcing physics laboratories to close, causing huge opposition.

But more and more scientists know this truth more or less, and then fall into a state of collapse of their worldview.

The physical constants have actually changed. What a waste of research!

What’s even more frightening is that according to Professor Huang’s theory just now, the more people know the truth, the greater the overall level of suspicion in mankind, and the easier it is for the entire world to fall from materialistic rules to terrifying idealistic rules!

"What...what should I do?"

Lu Yiming felt that his head was slightly hot. Even though it was just a thought on his mobile phone, he still felt that his forehead was hot...

He continued to flip through the documents on his phone.

The second information is "The research and development of 3-nanometer integrated circuit chips has failed." The reason for the failure is very simple. It is also due to the fact that the microscopic level of the universe is undergoing huge changes.

3-nanometer integrated circuits will directly involve quantum efficiency, and the intensification of quantum fluctuations will make it impossible for chips in this area to continue to work stably.

Originally, people were optimistic that Moore's Law could extend to 2 nanometers or even 1 nanometer. But now, the physical rules of the universe have fundamentally changed, and this technological path has been abruptly cut off.

Therefore, the current 5-nanometer chip is already the ultimate, and it is impossible to continue to make breakthroughs.

Of course, the number of people who know the truth has increased again...

The third information shows that in major laboratories in various countries, the resolution of scanning tunneling microscopes has suddenly dropped a lot. The reason naturally involves the microscopic level. A considerable number of scientific researchers have found that the diffraction phenomenon of electrons has become somewhat elusive, which is related to changes in the probability density of matter waves.

The fourth information is that in biology, the accuracy of various methods of gene sequencing has been greatly reduced... Although it is not to the extent that it cannot be used, some methods are no longer applicable.

After reading the information one by one, Lu Yiming's mood became heavier and heavier. The subtle changes in the rules of physics had an impact on all aspects of cutting-edge science.

Although he is not a scientist, he can still see that all the words describe the same fact...

The building will collapse!

The current set of technologies has no way to continue to develop. The building that originally protected mankind from wind and rain is about to face the risk of collapse!

It is impossible for humans to build a new building in a short period of time, and coupled with the predicted S-class disaster difficulties will come... the world is about to face a huge uncertainty.

Professor Huang wrote at the end of all the information: "If the whole world is falling from materialism to idealism, after reaching a certain boundary, supernatural events are likely to break out all of a sudden! Everything may have been fine yesterday, and nothing happened. Society It's running supernormally, but when you wake up today, the whole world might change drastically!"

"This kind of collapse is like the collapse of a bridge. Normally nothing happens. Once the rigid structure breaks, the entire world collapses in just an instant."

"The outbreak of an S-class disaster is instantaneous."

"Even if the sun suddenly goes out one day, it's not impossible!"

"..."

Lu Yiming sighed deeply and withdrew this idea, feeling slightly dizzy.

"The future is really scary!"

It's not that he doesn't want to continue peeking, but the time for his superpower has come... After more than a month of training, his superpower can only be maintained for forty minutes.

When the time came, he had to recycle his thoughts.

"I am one more person who knows the truth. Now I have doubts about the whole world, so it will change faster, right?"

"Hey, one more of me is not more, one less of me is not more... I only found out accidentally. But I will keep this matter secret."

Lu Yiming lay drowsily on the bed for a while, mentally exhausted.

He was suddenly a little glad that he had awakened his superpowers, joined the Supernatural Research Center, and learned the truth.

If he were still an ordinary person, going to work and living his life in a hazy way, he would have waited until a disaster struck to realize that the world had become different from before...

This feeling... is both bitter and thankful, mixed with a strange sense of guilt.

"If an S-class disaster really breaks out, how will my parents and I survive?"

"..."

After frowning and thinking for a long time, he found that there was actually very little he could do. In addition to doing his best to do his job and delay the world's fall, he also had to enhance his superpowers as much as possible.

"In an increasingly dangerous world, only more powerful superpowers can better protect ourselves!"

"The transformation from materialism to idealism should be an inevitable process...otherwise those upper-level leaders would not be so pessimistic."

Lu Yiming suddenly became sad, and his dream of salted fish was shattered.
