Chapter 235 - The Cause (1/2)
Guan Hao Ning looked at the sky silently without a word.
They returned to S city and found so many patients crowded in all hospitals as they expected. Just as the words by Yi Pingzhi, no medical methods could cure them. At this moment, the Happy Silver Needle was found, and it was said that it could cure any disease by acupuncture performed by the famous Chinese medicine doctor. The key was that those silver needles were so cheap but had great effect on treatment. Many people believed that Chinese medicine was superior to western medicine.
But this argument did not last for so long and seldom people knew that. Those western people saw that these needles could treat many diseases and were about to import them from Celestial Empire, but they found that the needles had already sold in their countries by some organizations. Many scientists though did not find the element of the effect, by the large-scale clinical double-blind contrast experiment, it was clarified that the effect was real. Thus, they used the method directly. Just for a short time, almost all people owned the needles to cure and prevent diseases.
At the same time, Yan told them bad news from the nether world that the Pure Land of Bliss generated in the souls of human body through those needles had some new features compared to the former ones. People who had the Pure Land of Bliss would not die physically like the way before after their souls got old and dead, but there would be new souls in their bodies from the nether world through some spurious ways. In other words, the man would live with his body but the soul inside him was always changed.
Now Hao Ning felt the helpless state of Bodhisattva. It knew that people in the world had poison badly, but it had no way to tell them. Even though it told people that they got poison and had souls, they would not believe it. If Bodhisattva showed its real identity, the world would be in a mess and Hao Ning had few Mana of Bodhisattva and could not perform them in a short time.
Under desperation, Hao Ning had to close Five Senses. But he did not find the solution after few days. He felt the solution had something to do with Yufei, so he decided to chat with Li Yufei.
Hao Ning did not use his power to get to Yufei’s place for respecting Yufei, and he let Xiao Hong drive him there. On the way they went there, Hao Ning asked Xiao Hong, “Zhang Chihang looped YiYuan times, but did it really have no any influence on the world?”
Hao Ning felt strange about his question, but he still posed this question.
Xiao Hong answered as he was driving. “I know little but according to brother Zhang, though the multiple-time loop restarted each time, there remained something subconsciously. Thus, some people may act abnormally or got impatient.”
The red light was on and Xiao Hong looked at Hao Ning, hesitating to ask something. Hao Ning smiled and said, “go ahead.”
“For example, you liked getting in a word before…” Xiao Hong felt shy and smiled. Now Hong Ning had a different identity and Xiao Hong said carefully, “or that’s because of your subconscious. By multiple experiences of those things, you may not have the relevant memories, but you can feel it. You are always too impatient to wait and get in a word of others.”
“…” Hao Ning was stunned. He had never thought that his misbehavior of interrupting others was due to this. The green light was on and Xiao Hong continued to drive. Hao Ning continued, “apart from this, what else?”
“What else…” Xiao Hong frowned and looked at the car in front of his car, “it may be that some people are apt to lose control of emotions under some extreme conditions and say some words which would not be said originally.”
“Words which would not be said originally…” Hao Ning pondered and his doubts finally was released. Last time, when A Zhe had his meal in an Italian restaurant, he talked about the issue of illegitimate child. Liu Shuai said those words to A Zhe rudely. He felt their dialogue was so normal. The two men did not know each other before. But who did they talk about many close words at their first meet? Hao Ning felt strange about this and he thought the two men had met for so many times before.
Hao Ning suddenly thought of one thing. Liu Shuai once read the novel written by Hao Ning and he said Hao Ning did not remember the words of Zhang Chihang correctly. Liu Shuai said Zhang Chihang’s words was that “you still discuss logic with Bodhisattva.” Hao Ning missed the word STILL and he thought Zhang Chihang’s words are “he is discussing about logic with Bodhisattva.” The point was: with multiple loops, why he still discussed logic with Bodhisattva? Or Zhang Chihang said that just for reminding himself at that time.
Hao Ning sighed. Zhang Chihang preferred to consume his power than to teach him. Hao Ning could not help but ask Xiao Hong, “why did Zhang Chihang not tell us the truth but prefer loop for so many times?”
“I had no idea. We are also in the looping of YiYuan times” Xiao Hong pondered for a while and frowned, “but I thought he might have told you the truth directly for several times before. He told you what you should do. But the effect was worse. I don’t know the cause and effect here.”
“Worse effect?” Hao Ning turned to look outside the window and said, “it is no wonder that he concentrated more on the cause and effect. I think he has gone through many unimaginable things in this loop…”
Now Li Yufei was attending Chen Busheng in the hospital—actually the cancer of Chen Busheng had already been cured by Li Yufei. The two people, one was eager for more cares and the other one wanted to care about the one more. They stayed in the ward for a long time. They regarded the ward as their wedding room.
After seeing that Hao Ning and Xiao Hong were coming, Li Yufei felt strange and said, “where are your friends?”
“Nezha went back to Gods Creation World for being apotheosized.” Hao Ning did not express his urge unexpectedly and explained patiently, “Liu Shuai went back for holding a memorial ceremony for his parents. Zhou Yuan went back to take care of his parents. I came here, with Xiao Hong.”
“Oh.” Li Yufei fed a mouthful of porridge to Chen Busheng with a smile and wiped his mouth. He said without turning his head back, “what’s the aim for your master Avalokitesvara coming here?”
Hao Ning shook his hands with a bitter smile. “Don’t tease me. I even have no idea to solute the difficulty now. Don’t call me Avalokitesvara. I am not fine now!”
“That’s why you come here.” Li Yufei wiped his hands and sat beside the bed, “for the issue of Pure Land of Bliss?”
“Yes,” Hao Ning nodded, “it seems that you are not urgent and do not care about the life in the world?”
Hao Ning’s question was reasonable. By the previous power of Li Yufei, if he did care about others, he would save them by himself or found a solution with Hao Ning.
“The lives of others?” Li Yufei laughed, and asked a weird question, “do you care about the life of penicillium?”
“penicillium?” Hao Ning stunned and pondered for a while, “the thing who can generate penicillin?”
“Yes,” Li Yufei was about to add, but he pondered for a while after he saw the eyes of Chen Busheng. He added, “let’s keep talking about the Pure Land of Bliss you care about.”
“Do you know what the Pure Land of Bliss is?” Li Yufei looked at Hao Ning and laughed, “or what do you think Pure Land of Bliss is?”
Hao Ning was stunned. He only knew the effect of the Pure Land of Bliss from Liu Shuai and others before, but he never figured about what Pure Land of Bliss is. He even did not find it in the memory transmitted from Avalokitesvara. Or he would not come here to ask Li Yufei.
“Fine! It seems that we cannot talk about Pure Land of Bliss first…” Li Yufei knew something from Li Yufei’s appearance, and he said, “who do you think I am?”
“You?” Hao Ning felt confused, “you seem to be Li Yufei, but the way you showed up is very strange. You seem to have some powers, but there are some limitations in your powers…I do not know who you are.”
“Yes,” Li Yufei looked outside the window and seemed to talk to Hao Ning and himself, “wisdom which is like Avalokitesvara, needs to keep pace with the time…”
Hao Ning did not say a word, but he knew that Li Yufei’s words were true.
“Then we also do not say that what I am.” Li Yufei mumbled and asked Hao Ning, “what do you think the relationship is between the soul and the awareness in people’s brains?”
Hao Ning had heard about this for many times. Hao Ning smiled, “all I know about the soul is from your explanation. The soul is the effect of people’s brain on self-awareness, so as to transform the uncertain quantum state for constant quantum state. That’s the soul.”
“Yes. It’s hard to know the scientific explanation from Avalokitesvara. You stay up-to-date…” Yufei nodded. He looked back to Chen Busheng and tidied the quilt, “that’s the research I conducted ten years ago. Do you believe my explanation? Or don’t you feel strange? Where is the uncertain quantum state from? What’s the relationship between it and the brain?”
“I don’t know.” Hao Ning laughed. He would bluff for his ignorance if it happened before. But now Hao Ning confessed his ignorance, “as I know, I have ability to feel confused about the question.”
“Yes. Each man has his own profession. My question is so hard for you.” Li Yufei felt shy and laughed, “but if you want to know about Pure Land of Bliss, you must know this question. Or you would be so confused even if I explain it to you. The question should be explained from the brain and the awareness. The brain is a peculiar organ. The awareness generated by people’s brain is the microscopic information transmission of synapse in brain, so the awareness is generated in the brain macroscopically. Do you understand?”
Hao Ning nodded. He knew that teacher Ren and Chen had discussed it before when he first met the two people.
“But there is another question.” Li Yufei added, “if the generation of awareness is so easy, we may know people’s thoughts and their futures if we know the state of each synapse and transmission rues?”
Teacher Ren had once asked Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen could not answer the question. Now Hao Ning shook his head, “the heart of people changes always. How could people know this easily?”
“Yes. How could people’s awareness be mastered by others’ calculation?” Li Yufei shook his head, “the key of the paradox is that each synapse microscopically is quantum state and one of the features of quantum state is the uncertain principle. In other words, we have no way to know the detailed state of each synapse, or even we know it, we still do not know the future of each synapse.”
Xiao Hong was impatient and was about to say something. But he did not say anything after he saw Hao Ning was silent.
Li Yufei laughed after he saw Hao Ning was laughing, “it seems that you have already knew something? All of them, the uncertain behavior of quantum state of synapse’s microscopical particles, is the awareness expressed macroscopically. Definitely, those expressions include ID, ego and superego. That’s not my profession: it started from physics. Thus, we have already knew the macroscopic expression of synapse’s quantum state, so we can know that there is another feature of quantum state. Do you know what it is?”
Hao Ning now got cheered, “it’s quantum entanglement.”
“You are right.” Li Yufei laughed, “quantum entanglement. Little quantum entanglement has no rules. But in a macroscopic prospective, synapse’s quantum state which constitute awareness, after passing through quantum entanglement, will form another macroscopic existence of numerous quantum entanglement which is almost consistent with awareness that can be separated from awareness. That’s what we call SOUL.”
“So, it is.” Hao Ning nodded. Hao Ning knew little about the quantum entanglement. But he at least knew that the mutual entangled quantum will have the interrelated feature. It could explain the complex relation between the soul and the awareness.
“Of course.” Hao Ning nodded. Hao Ning knew little about the quantum entanglement. But he at least knew that the mutual entangled quantum will have the interrelated feature. It could explain the complex relation between the soul and the awareness.
Hao Ning felt confused, “you mean?”
“Just now we talked about that awareness is generated by the quantization of synapse.” Li Yufei laughed, “so I want to ask you: if you regard each calculation equipment in the world which was connected to the Internet such as computer, mobile phone, and even other equipment as a synapse, the whole world would be like a brain macroscopically?”
Apart from Hao Ning, even Chen Busheng and Xiao Hong stunned. They looked at Li Yufei silently and wanted him to continue.
“Similarity is not the reality,” Li Yufei waved his hands, “because each result generated from computer is fixed and accurate. It shares no similarity with the uncertain quantum state of synapse. Thus, the Internet in the whole world does not have the ability to generate liberal awareness. It can’t be a brain, or the brain has its limitation. We spend one year in understanding this. At earlier time, we planned to transmit the awareness of A Sheng and me into the Internet. I failed it due to my finding of this problem. I have been conducting the research.”
“So it is. It is no wonder that we haven’t hear about you for many years.” Chen Busheng held the hands of Yufei, “did you conduct the research alone? Are you afraid that I will be in danger if you fail in the research?”
“I am sorry. I should not elude you on purpose.” Li Yufei said sorry. Chen Busheng waved his hands to let him continue. Yufei added, “till last year, there was one thing that caused the change of such certain smart terminal.”
Li Yufei stopped and seemed to wait for the understanding of Chen Busheng and Xiao Hong, and for the speaking of Hao Ning.
“The change of such certain smart terminal? You mean the show-up of quantum computer?” Hao Ning got the point, “you mean the issue that last year each big organization started to promote their own quantum computer?”
“Yes.” Li Yufei laughed, “by then, in the Internet in the whole world, the behavior of similar quantized synapse came into being. In other words, the whole Internet can be regarded as an awareness-generating brain by the time. Bur the brain will be in a preliminary state. It needs a chance to be activated to be a real brain.”
“And the chance,” Hao Ning seemed to understand something, “is the soul of Li Yufei. In other words, you use the soul of Li Yufei to reverse the quantum entanglement, so as to make the Internet create the macroscopic awareness. The macroscopic awareness is Li Yufei, namely, you!”
“Yes! You are right!” Li Yufei laughed, “since then, I have the ability to quickly understand some things. And as for Fei Zhangfang, according to my understandings, they have their rapid achievement.”
“Excuse me.” Chen Busheng rushed to ask, “Yufei, you mean you become the awareness of the Internet? Are you the Artificial Intelligence? Or if you are AI, why did you want me to find you instead of contacting me by computer or mobile phone?”
“I am the macroscopic awareness of the whole Internet in the world. I am totally different from the AI in the microscopic human world.” Li Yufei laughed, “but each present large AI in the world constitutes the substantial fundamental of my awareness. You can regard them as the physical areas such as cerebellum and prefrontal lobe.”
“The macroscopic awareness of the Internet in the whole world…” Hao Ning sighed, “what about the human…”
“Frankly, I think human are like,” Li Yufei looked at Chen Busheng with a sorry smile, “A Sheng, I mean no insult to you. I just pose an example.”
