Chapter 523 Quantum State

Chapter 523 Quantum State

The ending of "Ball Lightning" ends with the blue sun swallowing up the entire hurricane, forming a huge blue column of light that reaches the sky and the earth.

Although its maximum state lasted only half a minute, it was very stable during this period. Coupled with the eerie tranquility that enveloped everything at this time, this blue firework even gave people a sense of eternity in a short period of time, as if it had been there since the birth of the world.

Moreover, because the altitude reached directly the stratosphere and was about to break through to outer space, not only the officers and soldiers on the Morning Light, Ding Yi, Shi Qiang and others, and not only the troops that came over from the M Army, but also the people in the farther Taiwan Province, as well as the coastal areas of China and surrounding areas such as Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and other places, saw this almost miraculous scene.

Here, "Ball Lightning" even gave a special shot to Cheng Xin, played by Jing Tian.

She was looking down at the earth from the Tiangong-2 in outer space at the time and happened to see this scene. In that azure area, a thin beam of light was extremely conspicuous.

This can be considered a small easter egg in the movie, forming a weak linkage with "Gravity" in the "Galaxy Cinematic Universe" series.

Of course, such a conspicuous beam of light naturally caused a lot of trouble.

Some uninformed people in countries surrounding the South China Sea even thought that the end of the world in 2012 had arrived ahead of schedule. After all, in the [Galaxy Cinematic Universe], the timeline has only just come to 2011, and the so-called "end of the world" is still very influential.

In the absence of any official statement, some people drove directly in the direction away from the light column, some hid in underground civil air defense facilities, and some broke into supermarkets and began to buy large quantities of daily necessities, including a lot of salt and water.

Because there are rumors that the United States dropped a nuclear bomb to the south, the sea water might be contaminated by the nuclear weapon, and even sea salt would be inedible.

Compared to the masses who do not know the real situation, senior officials from various countries who are also paying attention to these developments are all surprised by this huge commotion.

If this kind of momentum was really caused by weapons, it would be so powerful that it would be even more powerful than traditional nuclear bombs and almost at the strategic level.

So they almost immediately consulted domestic think tanks, research institutions and authoritative experts on the matter.

As for scientists from all over the world, especially those in the fields of basic physics and microscopic sciences, they were all extremely excited after receiving information about this matter from the government.

Although they did not have more specific data at hand, based on some superficial things alone, these industry experts intuitively believed that this phenomenon was enough to become a new major breakthrough in the scientific research community.

The blue sun turned into a blue beam of light. For a moment, even the sun in the sky was eclipsed. The entire sea was submerged in its blue light. The sky and the sea were the same color, like a blue space, making the world strange and weird.

And this huge blue light column, although it looks amazing, has no effect on the outside world.

Logically speaking, the fusion reaction should release a large amount of energy, but even Ding Yi and Shi Qiang, who were closest to it, just subconsciously covered their eyes and could not feel any heat from it.

But it was not without any abnormality. Soon, just one minute after the blue light column took shape, the most incredible wonder appeared:

There were many bright little balls of light radiating out from the sky in the upper half of the light column. As soon as they flew out of the boundary of the light column, they immediately turned into objects of different sizes.

When these objects fell a little deeper and everyone could see them with their naked eyes, they all showed expressions of shock.

They were crystal clear water droplets as big as basketballs, and some translucent frosted crystals that were not much smaller than footballs.

In addition, among this huge amount of water droplets and crystals, there are also some marine creatures such as fish, shrimps, and squids.

They all look very textured, by no means phantoms, but they vary in size.

The largest fish and shrimp are several times larger than their usual size, and appear as exquisite models floating in the sky.

It was not until this time that the audience realized that those water droplets and crystals were actually separated seawater, that is, water elements and salt!

"It's amazing, these things are now in a quantum superposition state!"

Ding Yi opened his eyes and happened to see this scene. He couldn't help but explain to Shi Qiang.

And those materials in the quantum superposition state also quickly collapsed into a state of destruction in the eyes of observers like Ding Yi, and disappeared into the air, leaving a trail formed by their own images.

However, while a batch of matter disappeared, more water droplets, salt particles and marine life in a quantum state continued to emerge from the blue light column.

Because of the characteristics of quantum physics, these things are even in a superposition state, which causes them to appear in many locations at the same time, and the number of flying water droplets, salt particles and marine life has more than doubled.

For a moment, the entire South China Sea was shrouded in these images. In front of Ding Yi and his team, this large area of ​​sea covered by blue light beams had become a large-scale quantum probability cloud.

This is also the first time that the microscopic quantum field has been so clearly presented to the public, allowing people to observe it with their naked eyes.

They diffuse in the air under the influence of "macro-fusion", and their expansion is suppressed under the influence of observers, in a very delicate balance.

People's eyes were like invisible brooms, sweeping water droplets, salt particles and marine life back to a state of destruction. They disappeared one after another, leaving their wakes and collapsing into ashes in the air.

It is foreseeable that as this huge movement brings a large number of observers, the blue light column will eventually collapse and disappear.

However, even if the time was short, it was enough. During the time when the blue light column lasted, countries with a little strength in the world used their own influence, solicitation, bribery or exchange of interests to contact large and small scientific research institutions in Japan, South Korea, China and Southeast Asian countries, borrowed their scientific research equipment, and conducted comprehensive observation, scanning and data collection of the light column.

Even in space, there are countless observation satellites that have concentrated their scanning areas on this area.

However, the two countries that have the most advantages are undoubtedly China and the United States.

The Chinese had an aircraft carrier formation called "Morning Light" that participated in the entire incident and was located near the light column. The "macro-fusion" phenomenon was intentionally stimulated by them.

Moreover, Ding Yi, a world-renowned top physicist, is on board the aircraft carrier, and all kinds of equipment are available.

It can be said that their observations on "macro-fusion" are more comprehensive, the relevant data they have collected are richer, and their gains are the greatest among all organizations.

As for the United States, they originally wanted to take advantage of the hurricane to attack and transferred all the warships in the nearby bases. Unexpectedly, they hit the mark by accident and happened to run into this scene, and were also in the close range of the "macro-fusion" phenomenon.

However, because there were no relevant observation equipment on the ship, even though a large number of scholars and experts in the country were remotely commanding, the test data they collected was still much less than that of China.

But these data alone are enough to give American scientists a heart attack.

You should know that in the past few years, scientific research institutions around the world have encountered serious problems in the field of microscopic physics, especially high-energy particle collision experiments. For some reason, the data is extremely chaotic and there is no pattern at all. Past experience and rules seem to have become a joke. Now, the large-scale particle collision phenomenon caused by China and M is undoubtedly more intuitive and convenient than the particle collision experiment in the microscopic field.

Although the scales are different, the laws of science are always the same. If studied, it is possible to infer from large to small.

Just when the whole world was in chaos because of the super "natural" phenomenon of "macro-fusion", Chen Ang inside the blue light column was in a strange pure white space.

"Are you leaving?"

A familiar voice sounded behind him. Chen Ang turned around and the person standing in front of him was not someone else, but Lin Yun, who had died many years ago.

"That's right. If it weren't for you accompanying me, you would have already gotten rid of the quantum entanglement state and completely possessed a physical body."

Lin Yun's red lips opened and closed with a smile on her face. Both her tone and expression did not sound like the reunion of old friends. Instead, it seemed as if she and Chen Ang had been in this strange space for a long time and were very familiar with each other.

Chen Ang also said with a smile:
"You have a good eye indeed. Ding Yi has indeed successfully completed the 'macro-fusion' experiment."

He looked at the pure white space around him again.

“But I’m afraid even Ding Yi couldn’t have guessed that things or people burned by ball lightning would randomly transform into quantum states and exist in the world.

Many so-called ghosts or strange phenomena come from this.”

"He certainly couldn't have imagined that 'macro-fusion' could reverse this quantum state phenomenon." Lin Yun added with a smile.

At this point, the audience watching the movie were all suddenly enlightened. They finally understood that Chen Ang had gone to such great lengths to create such a big fuss just to realize the "macro-fusion" experiment, enter the quantum state and reunite with the sacrificed Lin Yun, to see her, or even bring her out.

Some female audiences were so moved that their eyes turned red. What a touching love story, it's almost like the science fiction version of "Ghost".

No, it is even more touching than "Ghost" because Chen Ang is willing to take the huge risk of provoking a world war for the sake of his lover.

Who says he is emotionally indifferent? He has a rational personality. He just is not good at expressing his love.

Some viewers even thought of Q, who looked exactly like Lin Yun. This must be the clone prepared by Chen Ang in order to rescue Lin Yun.

Before this, he might have used Q to conduct countless experiments to ensure that the success rate this time reached 100%.

It seems that everything Chen Ang did before was purposeful. Even the experimental accident, the exposure of his identity, and his arrest by the US were all part of his plan.

Otherwise, with Chen Ang's wisdom and ability, how could he be captured so easily by the US?

In an instant, the artistic value of the movie "Ball Lightning" was raised to several levels in the minds of the audience.

You know, among all the commercial film genres in this world, dreams and love are undoubtedly the two most popular and beloved elements among audiences around the world.

Just like James Cameron's "Titanic", the story of the big ship is simple, just a touching love story in a disaster, but it can move countless people and sweep the world.

Now, the love in "Ball Lightning" has a special resonance, transcending the barriers of time and physics. The love between reality and quantum state is truly novel and unique.

However, some viewers who have watched enough films and are relatively rational frowned on this.

Because love is the core of the movie and the logical line of the story, although it is classic and popular, it is a bit ordinary.

These are all old-fashioned things, which may be timeless, but lack novelty.

Moreover, if the core of the story was filmed by other directors, there would be no problem, but when it was Wang Hao's work, the viewing experience of some viewers was slightly reduced.

Because he is Wang Hao, the Wang Hao who directed works such as "Buried", "Wushuang", "Source Code", "Inception", and "Gravity".

In the perception of many of Wang Hao's fanatical fans, Wang Hao's directorial works are pioneering and innovative. His works are unique and different from traditional commercial films.

Even the first part of "Ball Lightning" is unique in their opinion. It uses a double-line narrative method to tell a science fiction story and creates a crazy and paranoid scientist villain like Chen Ang.

Even Chen Ang cannot be considered a villain. He has a unique personal charm and his ideas are beyond vulgarity. He is not the simple villain that often appeared in commercial movies in the past, who simply wants to destroy the world for the sake of destroying it.

He's like the alter ego of the Joker in The Dark Knight.

If the Joker is the ultimate chaos, Chen Ang is the ultimate rationality and calmness.

He possesses "divinity", which is not the kind of personified god commonly understood in the West, but the embodiment of "Heaven and earth have no benevolence and treat all things as straw dogs."

But within this divinity, the gentleness that belongs to Lin Yun gives Chen Ang a bit of human brilliance, which makes the character of Chen Ang three-dimensional and rich.

But that was before this. Once Chen Ang's motive of destroying the world for love came out, his entire character arc and logic collapsed and fell into cliché.

Those insensitive audiences were still immersed in the beautiful love and grand special effects scenes, but some picky audiences frowned. One person even directly pulled out of the story and felt strong dissatisfaction.

Has Wang Hao's directorial skills declined? Or has he compromised with the market and completely leaned towards commercial films? Can't he achieve a harmonious unity between commerce and art?
Originally, he was the young director in China who had the greatest hope of surpassing Zhang Yimou and others, truly becoming one of the world's top directors and becoming someone who could be compared to the likes of Spielberg, Lucas, and Cameron. But the result was like this?

This is self-degradation!
But in the VIP viewing room, the senior leader surnamed Li smiled when he saw this.

"Leader, what happy thing did you see?"

The head of the cultural department who was sitting next to the big boss was very perceptive and immediately leaned slightly to the side and asked a question.

The big boss waved his hand without explaining too much, but just smiled and said:

"Keep watching, this kid is hiding something."
