Blue Sword

Doorstep.

Ask took out the key, opened the door and went in:

"I'm back, Mom?"

Although the disappearance was not 4 years, but 4 days, if converted into 96 hours, it is still long enough. After all, a case can be filed if the person is missing for more than 24 hours.

My mother was washing vegetables in the kitchen at this time. After hearing this, she immediately stuck her head out and said in shock:

"Eh? Why are you back?"

Asker:? ? ?

Wait, mom’s reaction is wrong!

This is not the proper attitude towards a son who has been missing for four days and suddenly returns home!

After a moment of silence, Asik smiled and said:

"Why, isn't it right for me to come back?"

"Oh, you suddenly lost contact with me a few days ago. You couldn't get through the phone, and you didn't reply to messages. People at your work also said they hadn't seen you since get off work, so I called the police later." The mother peeled the cowpeas in her hand. , and said nonchalantly, "In the end, they said they couldn't file a case within 24 hours."

"The next day, that is, the day before yesterday, I ran to the police station again. This time they said they would arrange for someone to look for me. But the day before yesterday, someone came to my door and said they found out that you were performing some kind of... public mission abroad? They also said that the signal there was not good. Okay, I might have to stay for a few days and half a month, so I’ll forget it.”

"So are you coming back temporarily, or have you finished your work? Do you have lunch at home?"

Asker:? ? ?

Public mission? What the hell!

Before he could continue to ask questions, the door was knocked again.

"Oh, it must be someone from your work unit here again. They have been coming to express their condolences every day these days." Mother hurriedly ran over to open the door.

Standing outside the door were two middle-aged men in suits and ties. They first said hello to their mother, then turned their eyes to Asik, who was standing in the center of the living room, and suddenly showed a kind smile.

"Hello, hello." The man on the left walked in quickly, stretched out his hand to shake Aske's hand, and introduced himself, "I am the director of the Special Project Planning Division of the security department. My surname is Mao. You call me Comrade Mao. That’s it.”

He took out an ID from his arms and handed it to Aske. The latter did not take it, but just glanced at it briefly.

Two badges, a few lines of words, and a steel stamp, they did look like genuine documents, but this X Security Bureau was so scary that Aske was a little confused.

Why was it suddenly alarmed above? Could it be that my sudden disappearance and reappearance was captured by the Sky Eye system? Are you so efficient in searching time-travelers?

The name on the certificate was Mao Zhongwei, so Aske nodded and said with a smile:

"Hey, Mao Chu, hello, hello."

The slightly fat middle-aged man next to him also stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically:

"Deep Blue Technology Network Co., Ltd., executive officer Shen Jun, hello."

Asik should have been surprised when the president of Deep Blue Technology, the parent company of the game "Solomon: A Song of Iron and Fire", came to his home. However, with the previous X security agency here, it was not so scary. .

"Hello." Asik shook his hand politely.

"That's it." Mao Zhongwei looked at his mother and said with a smile, "Although you have just come back, we can't disturb you to reminisce about old times, but we still need you to report on the official mission. It won't be long, I’ll probably be back in the evening, so why don’t you go with us first?”

Next to him, Shen Jun turned his back to his mother and quickly mouthed:

time travel.

"Huh? Oh, yes, yes!" Asik understood immediately and quickly said to his mother, "Mom, I'll go first and have lunch over there."

The three of them left the house, only to hear their mother calling from behind: "What about dinner?"

"Ask your son to bring you dinner!" Mao Zhongwei laughed.

Ask followed the two people downstairs and saw three cars parked downstairs. The first two seemed to be full of people. A comrade got out of the middle car and opened the door for the three of them expressionlessly.

"Back row." Mao Zhongwei motioned for Asker to sit in the back row, while he walked to the front row.

Asike got into the car, and Shen Jun sat on his left side. Mao Zhongwei sat in the passenger seat, and the comrade who opened the door sat in the driver's seat and closed the door.

"Let's go." Mao Zhongwei said.

So, including the two cars in front and behind, three cars started at the same time and drove out of the community in a row.

"Well, it's been about four years since you traveled over there, right?" On the way, Shen Jun glanced at Mao Zhongwei's eyes in front of him, and then started talking to Aske.

Why the hell is it so weird to talk about this?

Asker cursed in his heart. But he was already a demigod after all, and he didn't have too much stage fright in front of these two big guys. He smiled and nodded:

"Well, almost four years. How did you know about this?"

So Shen Jun turned to look at Mao Zhongwei again.

Mao Zhongwei turned back from the passenger seat and said with a smile:

"Because we've been waiting for someone like you to show up."

"Me?" Ask was stunned for a moment, "A time traveler?"

"Yes." Mao Zhongwei nodded and said, "The release of the game "Iron and Fire" is also for this purpose."

"Have you ever heard of the observer effect?" After Mao Zhongwei's instruction, Shen Jun gave him a rough explanation, "Have you ever heard of quantum entanglement?"

"You said it." Ask said.

"Quantum entanglement means that two quanta are entangled at the microscopic level. If one of the quanta changes its shape, the quantum entangled with it will also change its shape." Shen Jun explained, "But on the macroscopic level, these two The quanta may be far apart, or even in different universes. For example, our world, and the world of A Song of Iron and Fire. Of course, I am not referring to the game, but to your world over there."

"The observer effect means that observation leads to collapse. For example, based on the observed world and the quantum entanglement effect, we created a game world in A Song of Iron and Fire. This virtual game world can be viewed Because we are entangled with that world, of course it is our man-made entangled relationship.”

"When you are offline, for you players, the game world and that world are in a fused fuzzy Schrödinger state between 0 and 1. But as long as you are online, you will have an observation effect, so this fuzzy body It will collapse into two clear worlds, namely the virtual game world and the world on the other side of the other universe."

"Of course, in most cases, the players after the collapse are in the virtual world here. However, scientists have shown through mathematical calculations that there will be a certain, very small probability of causing a collapse error. At this time, the players will Enter the world over there.”

"Uh." Asik didn't understand, so he could only focus on the key points and asked, "Does it mean that the purpose of this game is to create time-travelers?"

"That's right." Shen Jun nodded and said, "Let me give you an example that is not very realistic: there is a room with a door leading to heaven, but there is an angel guarding it."

"Normally the door is closed, and only angels can pass through. If an angel comes in, the gatekeeper angel will open the door. If a human comes in, the angel will see that you are a human and do nothing."

"In order to allow humans to enter heaven. We made an identical door on the other wall of the room, leading to the human world, that is, only humans can pass through."

"Then we arrange a large flow of people into the room over and over again."

"As long as someone comes in, the angels will see that you are a human being and open the door to earth, leaving the door to heaven untouched."

"But as the number of times increases, there is a slight chance that angels will make mistakes. Finally one day, as a human, you come in, and the angels open the wrong door and send you to heaven."

"In fact, there are countless such doors in the room. Through your experience, we know which door corresponds to heaven. Next, we will lock this door and open it directly without relying on the gatekeeper angel. The road to heaven.”

This time Asik really understood: "What world do you plan to go to?"

"That's not entirely true." Mao Zhongwei in the front row nodded and said, "The flow of time in the two worlds is different. The world over there is far superior to ours in terms of the evolution speed of civilization and the advancement of technology itself. "

"Therefore, we hope to establish cooperative relationships with forces there to gain opportunities for scientific and technological breakthroughs in the next industrial revolution and more developed industrial productivity."

There will be a more detailed explanation in the next few chapters.
