Three-stream detection simulator

"I still don't understand."

They moved to a safer place. Morgan frowned, as if she was looking at an Egyptian book written in hieroglyphics. Each picture was meaningful and she couldn't understand it when they were put together. "Although I don't know why, your soul in the Universe is human, and your body can be summarized as a brain in a vat, right?"

Hercules nodded.

"I understand your ability to construct a conscious world as your thinking is actually highly developed." Morgan used her projection technology to construct a brain model, which rotated and floated between the two of them. "Just like ordinary people dreaming, you have created a virtual space in the depths of your mind that is not completely controlled by you, and those "people" with perfect personalities live in it, similar to... living in another dimension."

"But your ability should not be able to interfere with reality, otherwise wouldn't the world be full of creatures in your imagination?"

Then Hercules directly pulled out a hundred Hulks in the Universe. Even if they were incomplete, they could be used as consumables and directly rule the planet?

How dare Argos let this happen? Or can Apocalypse Company still exist for that long?

"I really can't do it. The basic background will not change. There are no superpowers in the Universe of Paranormal, and I don't use magic." Hercule actually also deduced it step by step by eliminating various possibilities. "People call the ability to see through other people's thoughts telepathy, the perception of everything in the world supersensitivity, and the conversion of electrical signals as remote control - in fact, this is just the fundamental thing that a highly developed brain can do."

Even Morgan Stark, who has been a genius since childhood, has to point out: "This kind of thing is not called 'fundamental', right?"

"That's about it, you just understand it." Hercule waved his hand indifferently, "The things that limit me are always reality. I can only change it indirectly, but I can't change it like a programmer changes the code. ”

“But you have to notice one thing, Morgan, the 21st century is the past and history in our eyes. When we use entropy reversal technology to reverse time, what do we actually change?”

This is a very basic question, Morgan answered without thinking: "Energy? The energy that can do work in an isolated system has increased, allowing us to go upstream in the torrent of time."

“But the irreversibility of the first law of thermodynamics still holds true."

“Of course.” Morgan said calmly, “To explain the contradiction between the two, we have to rise to quantum mechanics, and you probably don’t want to hear me say this.”

Hercules couldn’t help but think of the famous joke of ‘quantum mechanics when in doubt’. He smiled and said a famous quote written by physicist Schrödinger in his book: "'All things in nature tend to go from order to disorder, that is, entropy increases.'"

"When disorder reaches its extreme, it is the end of the universe. We try to redirect disorder to order and change the course of history in a macro sense."

"'And life needs to maintain itself at a stable and low entropy level by constantly offsetting the positive entropy generated in its life.'"

"Life survives on negative entropy-this body may have been born by chance in the reverse flow of time."

"..." After a few seconds, Morgan said faintly, "You know that with your professional knowledge, discussing physics with me will not have good results."

Hercules said seriously: "I am discussing philosophy with you, dear Morgan. I think that my existence here in the 21st century cannot be reproduced."

Morgan ignored him, buried his head in thought, and flipped through the book. Her projection walked back and forth, drafting calculations on the spot, muttering:

"'Life feeds on negative entropy', ugh, Schrödinger didn't mean that, folk scientists always like to quote it randomly. You might as well make a hypothesis of a non-isolated system, for example, the Universe and the 21st Century should actually be regarded as two unrelated systems, your thinking ability is materialized by the coincidence of energy transfer, you are immortal when the energy is not exhausted, and when the energy is exhausted, you will naturally say goodbye to the world... Is this possible? Will your body disappear?"

Hercules glanced at her calculation draft and turned his head away resolutely without paying attention: "Yes."

The system clearly gave 7 life warnings.

He said so confidently, obviously he had corresponding evidence. Morgan's face showed a hint of sadness: "That is indeed a one-time miracle."

"We use the embryo of the dark multiverse to reverse time. After it is peeled off from the origin wall, unless you sacrifice the speed force, there will be no possibility of obtaining such a huge amount of energy. If my hypothesis is true, every cell in your body is composed of the negative energy that constitutes the dark multiverse. You and they are of the same origin. No wonder the side effects are not obvious in you."

"..."

Hercules pretended not to hear the hell speech about the Flash, so as not to ruin the atmosphere.

Morgan stood quietly for a moment, and smiled freely: "Forget it, I am very open-minded about my limited lifespan, but I don't want you to lose your rare human body. But anyway, as long as the brain is still there, you will always have the opportunity to live the life you want."

She stared at Hercules' lively gray-green eyes, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "Is your face now the face of your soul, or did you mold it in your mind? It's quite skillful."

"..."

It would be rude to ask any more!

**

There are still some unresolved secrets about Hercule, such as his appearance, the paradise on earth and the whereabouts of his body. As far as Morgan knows, in the world of the Yiwen Universe, that brain disappeared from the eyes of everyone who knew it 10 years ago, at the beginning of the 22nd century.

Ten years ago, Hercule truly broke away from the control of Apocalypse Company, and began to wander aimlessly on the earth with the full name of Hercule Hugo and the shell of a human being. He met Shania Fordham from the Court of Owls and officially started his career as a detective, investigating and fighting the three major corporations from an unprecedented angle.

He finally discovered the conspiracy of Argos, Chairman Dog and the Seden Society to unite to cover history, so he chose to stand on the opposite side of the Yiwen Universe.

Morgan didn't know much about this part. She had her own career and research, and didn't have much energy to care about even her old friends.

However, a problem that Hercule had not explained clearly lay before her eyes, and she couldn't even pretend not to see it——

The detective needs only the memory of himself to shape his body. In other words, he would only forget 'who I am', but theoretically he should not forget the strange universe.

So what about the rest of the memory? He has lived in the strange universe for more than half a century. Where have all the memories of love and hatred gone?

But then again, Morgan is not Hercule, and she doesn't like to get to the bottom of things. A person's energy is limited. When most of her motivation is invested in science, there is not much left for other things.

She didn't come to explore secrets, she just came to meet her friends and see what the golden age that many people dreamed about looked like.

To be honest, there's not much special about it. Good people have not gotten better in the 21st century, and bad people have never had the idea of ​​reforming their ways. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west as usual, politicians are as untrustworthy as ever, and the crime rate has occasionally dropped, but is still within normal fluctuations.

Morgan watched every day after meeting Hercule. She heard people frustrated by the emergence of superheroes and supercriminals protesting in the streets holding signs:

"Let the times become what they were a hundred years ago before mutants appeared!"

For a moment she thought she was back in the Lost Universe.

Would the residents of the Golden Age also be dissatisfied with the status quo?

So what do people in the future envy them for?

A hundred years from now, who can guarantee that this 21st century will not repeat the same mistakes and usher in its own doomsday?

Morgan did not tell Hercule her thoughts. On the one hand, the detective could not be as empathetic as her after losing his memory. On the other hand, she refused to discuss philosophy with Hercule.

Forget it. she thought. I am already so old, and the great-grandchildren of my peers are all over the place. Do I still care about how my father wants to change his destiny?

If we fail to do something well, why bother embarrass our predecessors.

Morgan closed her mouth and eyes, deciding to simply enjoy this golden era of happiness until the fire of her life was extinguished by the rain of doomsday.

Tony Stark feels that Hercule has been a little too indulgent lately.

"Are you in Central City? At this time? Why? Didn't MI6 give you a mission?"

"I leave it to Batman." Hercule said the treacherous words in a relaxed tone. "His database on politicians and ordinary criminals is a little more comprehensive than mine."

Tony asked suspiciously, "What does this have to do with your decision to go to the city where The Flash is?"

"Someone mentioned the Speed ​​Force to me yesterday, so I wanted to experience it up close."

"You're with your friends."

Iron Man suddenly affirmed, "You contacted the Strange Universe. You had an immediate and special source of intelligence when we solved Starro, and I don't know if it's my misunderstanding, but you've been avoiding me recently."

It's more like trying to avoid Chili Pepper.

Hercule thought.

Morgan doesn't remember Iron Man, but he doesn't forget his mother. The night 007 left, Tony and Peppa had a dinner together. Morgan was so excited that they almost discovered her. Later, she hid it very well and asked Hercule not to expose her because she didn't want to interfere with the relationship between her parents.

She was very hesitant and looked at her relatives from a distance, as if looking at two fragile objects. On the first day, they went to find Constantine and diverted their attention for a while. After returning, Morgan devoted himself to data calculations like a catharsis. He consumed too much at night and went back to sleep.

On the third day, Hercule felt that he could not continue like this and proposed to take her out to relax. It happened that he had a side mission of being a tour guide. Morgan uneasily agreed and they moved to Central City following a day trip guide titled "Most Likely to Encounter the Flash and the Rogues".

But Iron Man is no fool.

He could feel the faint feeling of rejection, not from the detective... but from another invisible person who stayed beside Hercule and influenced his decision.

"I'm not an elementary school teacher who cares about your friends, detective. But you have to explain to me what's going on with me. Either you come back to New York to find me after meeting The Flash, or I fly to Central City right now. You choose one." Bar.":,,.
