194: Chapter 194: I asked you to give an example, not a real-life one!

In an instant, the viewers in the livestream were in an uproar.

"Holy crap, holy crap, what is this, what is this?"

"I asked you to give an example, not to give an example from reality, brother!"

"Wait, is this video real? How come I never noticed this detail?"

"What on earth is that thing chasing it? The speed is so eerie, so wrong!"

"No wonder brother used this as an example. Turns out, this wasn't a meteorite self-destructing, damn it!"

...

At this moment, in a dormitory at Huaqing University.

Professor Wu, Ouyang Baili, and Professor Guan had gathered around the tablet Li Mo was holding.

He was searching for information rapidly, his tone filled with disbelief: "It's real. On February 15, 2013, in Chelyabinsk, Bear Country, this meteorite entered the atmosphere at a speed exceeding 18 kilometers per second, roughly 64 Mach."

"The yield was 500,000 tons of TNT..."

"The key is that, according to currently public information, there is no active missile in the world, not even today in 2026, that can intercept it at such an altitude and under such conditions with such a strange angle and speed!"

Ouyang Baili stared at the screen, his face full of astonishment: "Not only that, look at that little thing in the frame that overtakes the meteorite. It passed through the meteorite and flew out unscathed... If it were just a regular small meteorite overtaking it, it would definitely have exploded along with the large one!" (Ps: True)

Professor Wu gasped, pointing at the screen, and said incredulously: "The little thing that overtook the large meteorite in this video really did catch up, and after hitting the large meteorite, it accelerated and flew away unscathed. Either the large meteorite's fragments flew out, or a small object flew away completely intact... Is that even possible?"

Professor Guan snatched the tablet and analyzed it carefully, watching it several times. No matter how he looked at it, he felt something was very wrong.

"If that little thing behind hadn't flown away unscathed, I would have thought it was just a regular meteorite disintegrating and exploding, but damn it..."

In an instant, the rest of the physics students looked at each other, their faces filled with shock.

On the other side, in the Kyoto family compound.

Professor Wang Shouren looked at the same video that Professor Chen Runzhi had found and asked suspiciously: "Old Chen, what is this?"

Professor Chen Runzhi said with a grave expression: "I know about this. In the academic world, especially in relevant fields, there has always been controversy."

"The mainstream and public explanation is that the meteorite disintegrated on its own during its high-speed fall due to uneven internal and external pressure, but there are also some voices, including some internal research materials, that point out that its disintegration method was too intense and concentrated, not consistent with natural disintegration."

"It is more consistent with the characteristics of a high-speed kinetic impact."

"Currently, there is just a lack of conclusive evidence, so it has become an unsolved case."

The two professors beside him couldn't help but gasp.

When their eyes fell back on the big screen, they were filled with suspicion.

...

In the principal's office.

Principal Fu, Old Wang, and Xiao Wang had also finished watching the video frame by frame under the guidance of Old Yu.

The office was silent. Old Yu dragged the progress bar repeatedly, watching the scene where that ghostly object pierced through the large meteorite.

In the end, he just shook his head repeatedly: "If this was a real interception, then the technological gap is no longer something that can be described as a generation gap. It's simply hair-raising!"

Old Wang couldn't help but ask: "Is it possible that it was just a missile from Bear Country?"

"Do you think Bear Country now can be compared to the last century? Now Bear Country can't even compare to our 2014 technology. We can't do it, could they do it?"

After he finished speaking, Old Wang said no more, just silently feeling disbelief.

...

In Qingfeng Temple.

Zheng Ming, after watching the video, was somewhat dismissive: "Isn't this just the meteorite exploding by itself? Experts from Bear Country have already said it's natural disintegration!"

Zheng Ming and Wang Chongyang frowned.

This phenomenon had already exceeded the scope of their understanding of metaphysics and Sinology.

Professor Zhang Qinian on the side shook his head gently. His professional training made him unable to ignore the anomalies: "Xiao Zheng, it's not that simple."

"In the fields of astrophysics and near-Earth space detection, the details of the data from the Chelyabinsk event are questionable."

"The main composition and structure of that meteorite should, by all rights, have disintegrated into several large pieces under such high speed and pressure, rather than being observed as having been pulverized in the air so uniformly."

"Especially that little thing that caught up from behind. From the perspective of orbital mechanics and speed decay models, a smaller accompanying meteorite fragment cannot achieve a precise impact at that speed and angle."

"Not only that, if it were an accompanying fragment, that would be fine—the key is..."

He pointed to the accompanying fragment in the tablet that had finished hitting the meteorite and fixed his gaze on the three of them: "Do you think an accompanying fragment would hit the meteorite and then fly out intact at a higher speed???"

"From my professional perspective, this case, Xiaoyu's brother chose very well!"

"This is a targeted [point kill]!"

After using the term, Professor Zhang frowned, feeling that it was a bit sci-fi himself, but the data pointed in a direction that made it impossible for him to provide a more natural explanation!!!

Zheng Ming and Wang Chongyang were stunned.

Celestial Master Zhang twitched his eyebrows: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, it turns out that on a global scale, the act of defying heaven and changing fate had already occurred."

Zheng Ming asked incredulously: "Could it be that a Level 2 civilization's spacecraft passed by and helped out while they were at it?"

Celestial Master Zhang glanced at him and said lightly: "He didn't admit it in the slightest; he only said that this style of action is a sign of a Level 2 civilization. As for what that light and shadow actually was, he left it open, which is very clever."

On the big screen.

Xiao Yu also recovered from the shock and even used her phone to check some simple data.

After reading the specific information, she couldn't help but cover her mouth, her face full of disbelief: "My god, brother, the speed of that thing that hit it later is simply outrageous!"

"Looking at it from our 2026 technology, we couldn't possibly build something that can complete such a meteorite interception in an instant!"

"Is, is this really?"

Jiang Zhe smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying.

Of course, he wouldn't say that in his previous life, this level of kinetic interception had already been created by the Xia Kingdom in 2008.

Moreover, a flying vehicle with a speed exceeding 100 Mach was no longer a secret.

Seeing Jiang Zhe's smile caused countless viewers to feel shocked, their inconceivable emotions growing stronger.

Seeing that brother didn't answer, Xiao Yu shook her head repeatedly, curiosity driving her to ask: "Brother, then, what about a Level 3 civilization?"

"If even a meteorite hitting the Earth can be solved so easily, then I can't even imagine what a Level 3 civilization looks like."

"I can't even imagine it at all!"

"A Level 3 civilization, huh..." Jiang Zhe rested his chin on his hand and suddenly replied: "That would be a civilization that has thoroughly studied the microscopic world of Quantum Mechanics."

"Like the principle of Quantum Entanglement, completely understood!"

"Like the Quantum Delayed Choice, why the future can change the present, the principle of changing the past is also completely understood by scientists."

"A series of technologies like quantum are already beyond the Level 2 civilization just mentioned. Take the meteorite example brother gave, the means of a Level 3 civilization can already make this meteorite land back in the past—scientists can completely erase the meteorite at this very moment from our reality, and move the meteorite from today in 2026 back to the past today in 1026."

Speaking of this, he shook his head: "All of this has a physical iteration. Nowadays, our scientists use traditional physics, but on the side of a Level 3 civilization, they no longer use traditional physics, but have instead delved into Quantum Physics; that is, they have started to [contact microscopic laws]!"

"Understand?"

Xiao Yu gasped, her beautiful eyes turning: "Theory of Relativity, traditional physics, is macroscopic physics; and microscopic physics is Quantum Mechanics, there are many super magical things in Quantum Mechanics... When a civilization reaches Level 3, it thoroughly understands all the principles of Quantum Mechanics..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yu's beautiful eyes lit up: "It seems it really is possible. The causality of Quantum Mechanics can be reversed; if there is a new academic term, it must be [Causal Mechanics] or [Causal Engineering]."

"This seems to be the [Time Stream] you mentioned before!"

Jiang Zhe grinned: "Yes, Time Stream, is the science of the microscopic world; similar to Quantum Mechanics, but different."

"Brother, what is a Level 3 civilization called?"

"Zhen Min."

"Zhen Min??"

"Yes, you can understand it as the crossbars on the four sides of the bottom of an ancient carriage, enclosed into a frame, a concept that carries all things—they are able to cycle causality and be causally self-consistent; of course, this is just what brother calls it, you can take any name you want before brother publishes a paper."

Xiao Yu couldn't help but grin, then lowered her eyes: "I... forget it, I can't come up with a better name, this one is pretty good!"

"Brother, continue, continue!"

Jiang Zhe nodded gently: "In order for you to better understand a Level 3 civilization that uses causality, brother will tell you about the technological creations of a Level 3 civilization!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the viewers, teachers, and experts raised their heads, holding their breath.

Especially Professor Wu, Ouyang Baili, and the theoretical and applied physicists hidden in the livestream room, they agreed very much that the future world must be microscopic, not macroscopic!!!

Only by moving toward the microscopic can one glimpse longevity; moving toward the macroscopic can only lead to self-destruction!!!
