Chapter 70: Can even the soul be analyzed?

"By the way, if this machine really succeeds, then your [Combination Machine] will have to change its name."

"I think [Future Prediction Machine] would be more appropriate."

"Because you can already predict the degree of chaotic molecular motion within my body. When your machine becomes famous worldwide, it could predict the future path of every individual, allowing everyone to make the best choices in life and eventually become the finest pillars of the nation."

At this moment, Professor Ouyang Baili had a sudden whim and asked, "Is there any other theory that can explain my question?"

Hearing this, Jiang Zhe wanted to laugh but had to hold it back.

"Alright, Mr. Ouyang. Being hired by Kun City probably cost them a fortune, and even now, you're still testing."

"One must be soft-handed when taking from others and soft-mouthed when eating their food."

"Since that's the case, as you wish!"

"Your hypothesis can also be explained by the 'Quantum No-Cloning Theorem'."

"This theorem is a corollary of the 'Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle' and is a fundamental principle in Quantum Mechanics."

"Heisenberg was a German quantum scholar and one of the founders of Quantum Mechanics."

"Viewers, let me explain: Quanta are the fundamental particles that make up nature."

"The atoms and molecules in our bodies are composed of quanta, and the same goes for everything in the world."

"To answer Mr. Ouyang's question."

"If someone attempts to create an identical copy of any unknown quantum state, or even just simulate the process, it is impossible to achieve."

"This means that the moment Mr. Ouyang used a machine to simulate the quantum state within my body, he had already failed."

"Because he cannot simulate even a single quantum particle within me."

"The moment he tries to simulate it, the quantum state within me collapses and continues its chaotic motion."

"As a side note: in my previous independent research, I discovered quantum effects within the human body. Quanta might be one of the sources of human consciousness. If the audience is interested, you can vote on the Suzhou TV Station official website later, and I will discuss it according to the results."

"Remember not to go to the wrong Television Station. After all, Kun City and Suzhou TV Station are of the same scale, their official websites look the same, and even their buildings are identical!"

"However, the people in these two cities are completely different."

After speaking, Jiang Zhe winked. This was his counterattack against Kun City Television Station for their earlier dirty tricks!

As soon as these words were spoken, the live stream's bullet chat exploded.

"Holy shit!!!"

"Damn, Ouyang just baited you, but how much more stuff are you hiding from us?"

"Consciousness is a world-class problem. Before, when you talked about what consciousness is, I really thought [we were just a story]. Now you're telling me you've actually understood or even mastered human consciousness?"

"As a failing student, I'm truly kneeling before the big boss!"

"..."

Originally, people thought the program was nearing its end and there wouldn't be much else to see.

Who would have thought that a few words from Jiang Zhe would instantly bring the drowsy audience back to life!

These words also caused a massive stir in the Kyoto Lecture Hall.

Professor Hua Yunfeng, Professor Feng, and all the experts stared intently at Jiang Zhe.

They thought this was just a simple rebuttal to a question.

No one expected that Ouyang would accidentally bait out Jiang Zhe's past research on consciousness and quanta.

Hua Yunfeng couldn't help but swallow. "If Jiang Zhe has really researched this thoroughly and found consciousness—the origin of the soul—it would definitely shock the world. However... he mentioned before that he only wants us Chinese people to know these things."

Professor Feng nodded like a chicken pecking at grain, his face full of shock.

"In the past, I would have definitely thought he was bragging. But now, I don't think so anymore. I feel like he might have really figured out how consciousness works!"

The experts below the stage were also discussing fervently.

"Damn, is it really that exaggerated?"

"Today, this old man really didn't come in vain!"

"The next episode is a must-watch!"

"Who told you Jiang Zhe would talk about it in the next episode?"

"Uh..."

It was no wonder they were so excited.

Consciousness could be called humanity's [Forbidden Zone].

In this world, no one—absolutely no one—could say they had mastered [Consciousness] or the [soul].

If they did, they could even investigate the origin of all things!!!

...

Inside the leadership conference room.

Old Zhao and Wang Guosheng watched Jiang Zhe's "bold claims," staring at each other as if something world-shaking had happened again.

"Even though I don't understand Quantum Mechanics, how could the soul be related to quanta?"

"Don't stress over it. We've never been able to keep up with Jiang Zhe's pace. I don't really understand most of what he says, but I just like the feeling of pretending to understand."

After a brief discussion, the two looked at Wang Lin as usual.

"Don't look at me, I really don't know. No such reports have appeared in the scientific community yet!"

Wang Lin was completely overwhelmed.

Don't ask me every time you run into something you don't understand!

How would I know?

If I knew, I'd be the one in Jiang Zhe's position!

The key point was that Jiang Zhe was a complete master of originality—original theories, original paradoxes.

If he were in the academically peaceful United States, he would at least be a talent on the level of a Nobel Prize winner!

...

In the lounge of Kun City Television Station.

Even Ouyang was stunned by Jiang Zhe's words.

His pupils trembled. Previously, he would have thought it was just a young man being mysterious to boost ratings.

Now, he no longer doubted it at all!

Speechless for a moment, Ouyang didn't know what to say.

At this time, Jiang Zhe's voice came from the large screen.

"Alright, the second question is over. Next lucky viewer!"

While waiting for the third lucky viewer's call to connect.

Inside an office at the Communication University of China.

The two elders, Wei Guo and Prof. Wei Min, were staring at Jiang Zhe in a daze.

As a physics professor, Wei Guo had been following Jiang Zhe for a while.

He seemed ordinary; when would he have had time to study the so-called relationship between quanta and consciousness?

"When exactly did he research this? Why didn't he ever ask me about it when he was in school?"

The elder brother, Prof. Wei Min, asked, "Could it be that he researched it secretly after graduation?"

"You mean during his internship?" Wei Guo shook his head repeatedly. "He kept in touch with me during his internship. He even asked me to help him find a job, saying it was too hard and that he was all alone in Su City with no family or friends. Later, I really couldn't bear it anymore, so I contacted you, Brother, to reach out to Suzhou TV Station and give him an interview opportunity."

"And during his internship... he was working at an educational institution and also doing part-time voice acting for niche novels, but his results were mediocre."

As Jiang Zhe's former physics teacher, Wei Guo found it truly difficult to understand why Jiang Zhe had undergone such a world-flipping transformation!

He was just curious: can consciousness really be related to Quantum Mechanics?

He taught Quantum Mechanics himself; how could he not be clear on this?

Prof. Wei Min sighed with emotion. "I don't know what happened either. Perhaps there was some major life event. Let's not talk about it; the third lucky viewer is here."

After the call was connected, a very magnetic young male voice suddenly came through.

"Hello, Host Jiang Zhe. Actually, we met yesterday afternoon. I am a criminal investigator from Suzhou's The First Police Station: Officer Su Cheng."

A rather teasing voice came from the other end of the phone.

This voice immediately startled Jiang Zhe. Such a coincidence?

Since arriving in this world, he had used his break to curiously visit the address where he lived in his previous life and happened to meet the person in the old house...

He just didn't expect the other party to be named Officer Su Cheng and be a criminal investigator?

The audience, experts, and leaders sensed something was wrong.

The Television Station's hotline indeed gave priority to the government and the police.

The reason no calls from the police or government appeared before was that no one had dialed.

This time...

Could it be that Jiang Zhe had committed a crime?

"Wait, wait, the police? A criminal investigator?"

"Holy crap, what's going on? Calls from the police and government do have priority. Did he commit a crime?"

"Oh no, don't tell me you did something scandalous and the police have come to your doorstep!"

"Jiang Zhe, don't let your persona collapse! Don't go doing something like murder or arson just because you've become famous!"

"..."

Clearly, the audience's worries and speculations were entirely unnecessary.

Just as the audience was thinking this, the voice on the other end of the phone asked straightforwardly:

"I'm very sorry. I saw the previous two viewers introduce themselves, so I did the same. If I caused your viewers and friends to misunderstand, I apologize."

Fortunately, once these words were spoken, the hearts of the audience and his acquaintances were put at ease.

Facing the camera, Jiang Zhe nodded slightly, not minding: "I see. May I ask what question you are curious about?"
