Chapter 607: Observer Effect

Waiting for a while.

Everyone didn't see Chen Ran come out. At this time Chu Yinian suddenly said: "I feel, he shouldn't appear again today."

"Reason?" When saying these words, Qiu Yinong had already retreated behind the crowd.

Chu Yinian opened his palm, only seeing written on it: [Chen Ran and Lin Xuan, who was just guarding in front of the experimental building, went to the Small Forest.]

"Right now, I have no memory concerning Lin Xuan. This explains that Lin Xuan is probably dead."

"It's just like, looking at it from deduction, there should be two people guarding in front of the experimental building, yet there's no record of the other person's name on my palm."

At the same time, Chu Yinian looked around at everyone and smilingly said: "You guys should also have similar records, right?"

Right. At that time when they went downstairs, they discovered only Lin Xuan was guarding in front of the building, explaining that whoever died, they would lose the memory regarding who. How could they not make relevant records?

Sure enough, everyone opened their palms.

However, they were also silently pulling open a distance from each other.

Jiang Zhe pacified everyone: "No rush, let's first summarize a bit."

Qi Yanqing was the first to speak: "First of all is whoever dies, we might lose our memory of who. This point should be beyond doubt, right?"

Qiu Yinong took over the topic: "Secondly is the Double-slit Experiment. There shouldn't be an Observer, yet the Observer Effect appeared. We have to sort out clearly what this exactly means?"

Wei Wuxie frowned and said: "I don't know much about this experiment. I only know that some people online say this experiment is the most terrifying experiment. Simply put, if there is an Observer particle characteristics will appear, and if there is no Observer wave characteristics will appear. They feel the micro-world has a so-called predicting the future."

Qiu Yinong corrected: "For the macroscopic, if I look at a mountain, do you feel I would have any influence on the mountain?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Just an action of [looking] was unable to cause an influence on the mountain.

"But for the micro-world, if I look at a mountain, it might lead to causing an immeasurable influence on the micro-world."

Everyone nodded.

Not to mention [looking], even if a person stood motionless in place, the heat emitting from their body could cause an influence on the micro-world.

"Therefore I lean more towards, in the Double-slit Experiment, the Observer caused an influence on the photons. Only this led to the appearance of particle characteristics, and just now..."

"In the laboratory, no Observer existed, yet particle characteristics appeared. But if we forcefully add an Observer, the result should still be particle characteristics."

Regarding this point, everyone expressed agreement.

After all, according to the Double-slit Experiment, having an Observer results in particle characteristics.

"Therefore, I feel, this experiment is reminding us that clearing the Instance..."

"Has uniqueness!"

Jiang Zhe nodded: "Looking at it from the present, having an Observer is particle characteristics, and having no Observer is also particle characteristics. Then this explains that this experiment has uniqueness."

Wei Wuxie frowned and said: "Your meaning is..." He didn't dare to speak further.

Chu Yinian glanced at him, taking over the topic and continuing to say: "If we take this time loop that let's call an Instance for now, and view it as a Double-slit Experiment..."

"The time loop symbolizes the Laser Optical Demonstration Instrument."

"The photons shot out by the Laser Optical Demonstration Instrument are equivalent to the players."

"The result on the shielding plate symbolizes that the Instance clearing condition has uniqueness."

"Then the question comes, what does the Observer symbolize?"

Without waiting for everyone to answer, Chu Yinian took a drag of his cigarette and continued: "The existence of an Observer will influence the result of the photons, and it was said before that photons symbolize players."

"Then, the only one that can influence players in the time loop can only be..."

"Let's call them players for now!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately retreated violently, pulling open a distance of a few meters from each other.

The meaning of his words was: Among this group of people of ours, some are players, some are...

Observers!

Namely: some people are not players!

Everyone's brains rapidly turned over.

Simply put, if I satisfy this condition, then how should I clear the Instance?

This is just like going to buy mineral water.

Having two yuan in your pocket is a necessary condition for buying mineral water, but the question is how should you find the small shop?

...

Zhang Baixi (a Seven-Star Player), who hadn't spoken all along, glanced at everyone: "Logically speaking if this is an Instance, then there should exist a so-called situation of forming a team to grind the Instance."

"Do you guys still remember, Chen Ran asked just now, in our memories..."

"Who knows who?"

"Simply put, if a situation where people know each other exists, then this so-called Instance will have a lot to be said about it..."

"It's very possible that the memory of one of the two people who know each other is used as a template."

Everyone was startled.

Right, none know each other, but if it just happens that two people know each other in their memories.

Then, there's a lot to be said about this.

Why would the two of them know each other?

The conclusion is: It's extremely possible that the two knew each other before entering the Instance, and this Instance is based on the memory of one of them as a template.

Putting it even more simply.

Not only did the two know each other before entering the Instance, there is also a very high possibility that they are...

Schoolmates from the same school!

Deducing deeper again.

Among these two people, at least one is a true player. The other might also be a true player, or might also be a so-called Observer.

Qiu Yinong's heart jolted. She never would have expected that this group of people...

Were smart to this degree, simply like a group of monsters, deducing the meaning Chen Ran cryptically revealed to her in just two or three sentences.

Correct.

Just now when Chen Ran asked those words, Qiu Yinong had already realized that between her and Chen Ran, one of them was very possibly a player.

Seeing this, Qiu Yinong calmly said: "Is there any meaning for us right now in agonizing over who is a player and who is an Observer?"

"Not to mention that this is all deduced by everyone, without actual evidence."

"If this is an Instance, then the question comes, what kind of existence is an Observer?"

"Two possibilities."

"One: Observers are also players, but not players of this Instance. They are just existences pulled down by the Instance to influence players clearing it. That is to say, whether the players clear the Instance or not has no influence on them; they are just making a temporary guest appearance."

"Two: Observers are manufactured by this Instance. When players clear the Instance, these Observers lose their meaning and are obliterated."

"No matter which situation, agonizing over who is an Observer has no meaning."

Right, if it was the first situation.

Whether the players clear the Instance or not has no meaning to the Observers.

If it was the second situation, when the players clear the Instance the Observers are obliterated, and when the players fail, the Observers will still be obliterated. If the players are trapped in this Instance, the Observers will lose their memories every day, which equally has no meaning. After all, a me who loses my memories is not me.

Therefore, no matter which situation, agonizing over who is an Observer has no meaning.
