Greetings, Mister Principal: Above the Big Hollow
The demiplane of Baltica.
Above the large hollow.
Her Excellency Rumia Calvados took a deep look at the large hole within the wall, her eyes full of worry.
"It's already been an hour past the original scheduled time. Do you really not need to worry?"
Wilder Regens on the side asked. Originally, the Abyss Submarine should have returned, but at this moment, the calm and large hollow was still deep, but no aerospace craft appeared from it.
"I believe Herman will be fine."
Her Excellency Calvados responded that at least she has not sensed any danger signals from her husband, which means that the Abyssal Submarine has not been torn apart by monsters.
As for why they stayed in the large void for so long, Mr. Calvados speculated that they might have discovered something strange that delayed their time.
"Observations about the large void have remained normal, and it seems as if nothing has happened."
At this time, Broly Augustine, who flew over from the observatory, straightened the hair around his ears and said.
"We tried to check the instrument that may have received the return signal from Sir Alberton's detector. There is still no trace of any data, but there is one thing that I think is a bit suspicious."
He paused, and then passed the paper documents in his hands to the hands of several mages.
"I later thought that I could check the magic reserve of the device. If a large amount of data has been received and displayed, the magic power consumed by displaying it will inevitably increase. We seemed to have ignored this before."
His Excellency Calvados did not rush to a conclusion, but looked at the document in his hand.
The detailed records above show that on the night when Reiner recorded the strange scene, the detection signal receiving equipment had indeed used magic power several times higher than the normal standby state. However, these magic powers were not recorded in the usage records. traces, so at the time of inspection, the equipment is still in its previous condition.
In other words, this instrument suddenly received a large amount of data at night and displayed it according to its original function. But after a moment, all the data disappeared, and even the recording turned into nothingness, only being The lost magic power has gone somewhere.
"In other words, everything Reiner saw that night was real, but why?"
Regens frowned and flipped through the records repeatedly, trying to find an answer.
"Quantum phenomena."
Augustin suddenly spoke, causing the surrounding mages to look over.
"Since the big void possesses the magic of quantum state superposition, will the signal also be affected when it passes through that quantum sea?"
He asked that this was a question that no one present had ever considered. Even after Reiner proposed quantum theory, they had not seriously studied this conclusion.
"Since Lord Braggs' cat is a macroscopic object, the entire system is determined by microscopic things and thus becomes a microscopic system that can have quantum effects. Then, is it possible for other things to produce similar situations?"
However, Augustine did not stop thinking, he said.
"We assume that the data received by this instrument is actually quantized data. Simply put, this is a display screen in a superposition of two states of receiving and not receiving. At this time, the detector, signal , the display screen together constitutes a system, or we can expand it, the feedback given by the detector and the space it detects is also part of this system."
Augustin's words made Lord Calvados raise his eyebrows and glance at the observation equipment in the distance.
"You mean, the detector itself is already a quantized thing? Even if the detector is not quantized, the core of its detection equipment may already be in a similar state?"
Her Excellency Calvados asked. She thought about it carefully, and a somewhat horrifying picture appeared in her mind.
The light that burst out when Sir Alberton's detector came into contact with the Netherworld Gate was actually the light released when matter was converted into a quantum state. After that, the quantum state detector was in a situation that no one knew. Next, he explored the space inside the Netherworld Gate and returned according to the original settings.
At this time, although the collapse state of the detector was destruction, due to the absence of any observers, the detector maintained normal operation. At this time, according to Lord Alberton’s prior design, the detector exited from the Gate of the Netherworld. left, and immediately sent a signal.
This signal passed through the large void, passed through the quantum sea, and was projected into the receiving device, displaying the data.
But this data was observed by Reiner.
As a result, the entire system collapsed. Whether it was the data on the display screen, the signals echoing in the quantum sea, or even the detector at the bottom of the large hole, they all turned into a collapsed state and returned to nothingness.
All this happened because Reiner "opened" the box and observed the conditions inside!
The tide of thought echoed in the minds of all the mages, stirring up flying waves. Soon, these tides converged and resonated, forming a monstrous tsunami, rushing towards the offshore shore.
"Wait a minute, if you say so, then the body of the invisible monster..."
Regens seemed to be struck by lightning, and a series of clues were separated and reorganized in his mind.
The missing Vice-Captain Paul on the Storm Rose, the hand-drawn monster appearance, and the claw marks in the corridor.
The invisible monster has the characteristic of penetrating the magic barrier and cannot be captured.
The undulating quantum sea in the great void bursts out with dazzling light from the Netherworld Gate.
The collapse of the wave function and Mr. Braggs’ superimposed cat of life and death.
"That's a quantum monster!"
Regens shouted, and then denied his guess.
"No, no, no~IndoMTL.com~ If it is really a quantized creature, this is a macroscopic quantum phenomenon. Moreover, it should be the same as the detector. Its own collapse state is a state of destruction and it is impossible to attack other objects. Things..."
"Wait, maybe we overlooked a problem."
His Excellency Calvados said.
"If it is really observation that causes the collapse, then in addition to us people, the invisible monster also has an observer."
"Who is it?"
Regens looked at Lord Calvados in confusion.
"It is itself."
His Excellency Calvados said solemnly, since similar phenomena have never been discussed in previous quantum theory, it is assumed that objects in a quantum state do not constitute observers, but if the invisible monster is really a quantum If it is a biological creature, then it must be able to observe itself.
"It is capable of self-observation to maintain its existence in the macroscopic world!"
