In 1942, the 2495th year of the Eastern Period (after Confucius was born), the observatory built by China in Chongqing was put into use and successfully discovered the existence of a parallel universe, thus confirming this scientific conjecture. The observations on this neighbor's universe shocked the scientific community because the history of the earth is very similar to that of this universe, and it was almost exactly the same three hundred years ago, with the same celebrities, the same country, the same language, and the same art, but it has become completely different in the last three hundred years.
The neighbor's science and technology are very backward. Europeans discovered that in another universe, they were still fighting with primitive weapons such as fossil energy tanks in 1942, and they were almost ignorant of nuclear energy. As for the development of outer space resources and immigration, they had not even touched the door.
Compared with Europeans, Chinese people feel more disappointed. After the detailed observation report was disclosed to curious citizens, a media commented on the neighboring China in the universe and said: "Like us, China in that universe also has rich resources and the largest population, but in the past three hundred years, China has not made the greatest contribution to the progress of human civilization and science, and can even be said to have almost no contribution. This is a deep regret, a huge waste and sorrow."
The Chongqing Observatory has been in operation for a full seventy years. By 2012, a new observation station built by mankind on Titan was completed. The new observation station had a wider vision, safer and more efficient, so the Chongqing Observatory was also about to be closed.
The head of the observatory was asked by the media at a press conference: "We didn't know seventy years ago, but now we know that observations of parallel universes will cause interference to the neighboring universe and the original universe, right?"
The person in charge replied: "Everyone knows that time can also be regarded as a kind of wave. The time waves of our universe collapse into our history, while the time waves of parallel universe collapse into their history. Yes, the design of the old observatory has some flaws. Its observation window will cause slight interference in the time waves of our two universes."
He asked again: "How severe is the interference, and what impact will it have on us?"
Answer: "Very very, very small, from a mathematical point of view, it can be considered that it has no effect."
"Can you explain in detail how small it is?"
"Yes, there will be no interference when conducting observations. But when the observation window of the old observatory opens and closes, the time waves of the two universes will be disturbed. When the Chongqing observatory opens, the moment the window is opened, a marble desk in our universe was thrown over and fell into the Pacific Ocean opposite the universe. We predict that when the observation window is closed, there may be something that is no more than 200 kilograms of at most to be sucked back. It may be some soil, or some stones, and most likely air."
"It will fall into our Pacific Ocean?"
"This won't be. It'll probably be sucked back to the location of the observation station. However, it's hard to say where it sucked, but it's almost certainly sucked from the surface of the opposite universe."
"How high is the speed at which to hit our planet? Are the observatory ready for protection?"
The person in charge smiled: "There is no speed, and the observation station does not need to be protected. The location is certainly the location of the observation station, but the time is hard to say. The range is about one thousand years. You see, in the past or the next thousand years, there were dozens of more soil or stones in the Chongqing Observatory in Chongqing. The greatest possibility is air, followed by water, after all, the most water on the surface is the most. This is the impact on our universe, just like what they have done to them, and it can be called tiny."
The last question: "Will this disturbance be detected by the opposite universe?"
"Absolutely not. First of all, their technology is far from the level we were a hundred years ago. Secondly, the moment of the most violent disturbance is short, even if it happens around someone..." The person in charge once again emphasized that 70% of the surface is covered with water, and even the land also has large areas of wilderness and vegetation. The possibility of it happening near someone is very small, so small that it can be thought that it will not happen: "In terms of human senses, it just feels that a purple light flashes, so fast that it makes him think it is an illusion."
The person in charge repeatedly explained that the media present should not worry about anything: "This degree of interference has no effect on our universe and history at all."
After the briefing, the Chongqing Observatory was closed as scheduled, and no one knew how much impact it had on the disturbance of the time wave.
...
In 1658 AD, the 12th year of Yongli of the Ming Dynasty.
On the second day of December, Deng Ming, with a tired face, sat alone by the river. Three days ago, he was a student from the Academy of Fine Arts, and now he seems to be a refugee.
"The top priority, well, the top priority is to find a razor, and... and then talk." Deng Ming murmured in his heart. Although he hadn't eaten for two days, he thought he had calmed down...
"A flash of purple light was like an illusion," Deng Ming, sitting by the river, recalled his experience. Until now, he was not sure whether it was purple light. The speed was too fast, and then the surrounding scenery changed. He ran from the bustling metropolis to the wilderness, and it was hundreds of years ago that he had moved geographically for thousands of kilometers.
"Why did it come to more than 300 years ago?" Deng Ming's head was about to explode in the past two days, but he still couldn't understand: "This shouldn't be my original universe, right? Theoretically, the solar system revolves around the center of the Milky Way. I don't know the speed, but I guess it's very fast; the earth revolves around the sun again, and the earth three hundred years ago must not be in the same position. If it were the original universe, I should have been thrown into a vacuum. It's impossible that it is still on the earth, and it may not even be in the solar system..."
After being glad that he was still on Earth, Deng Ming decided not to continue thinking about why he was here for the time being, but to find a razor as soon as possible and shave his hair first. Deng Ming asked several woodcutters and hunters, and they all said that it was the fifteenth year of Shunzhi and Chongqing had been ruled by the Qing Emperor: "If this is a joke made by aliens or future people, maybe I still have a chance to go back. The most urgent thing is not to be killed by the barbarians."
Although he realized the most important problem at hand, Deng Ming still couldn't think of how to get a razor. Deng Ming estimated that there must be merchants in Chongqing, but he didn't dare to go without shaving his head, but he stayed outside the city and didn't know how to find knives.
While thinking hard about how to break this seemingly inbreakable vicious circle, a dong dong drum sound came from a distance. Deng Ming looked in the direction where the sound came, and the drum sound became louder and louder. Soon after, he saw the ships driving towards him from the river. One by one, the drum sounds were from these ships.
The ship was getting closer and closer, and Deng Ming did not dare to continue sitting by the river. He ran quickly to the bushes behind him, hid behind the trees and lowered his body, carefully observing the movement.
Finally, Deng Ming could not only see the flag on the ship, but also see the figures standing on the ship. The people on the ship looked like warriors, everyone with knives, and some were wearing armor. These people were neatly pounding their shields with weapons. Deng Ming thought it was the sound of drums just now, but it was actually the loud sound of their beating.
"The red flag also has the word 'Ming' written on it!" Deng Ming couldn't believe his eyes, staring at the bright red flags on the ship and the soldiers' costumes, and wondering if the current era was really during the Shunzhi period. Deng Ming originally thought that only Taiwan and Ming army were still there. The doubts in his heart became bigger and bigger, and he couldn't help but spit out his thoughts and said to himself: "Does there actually be the Ming army in Sichuan?"
"Why didn't there?"
A question came from behind, both close and loud. Deng Ming, caught off guard, was so shocked that he almost jumped up. He turned around suddenly and found that there were two people standing behind him. Both of them were wearing tight clothes, one with empty hands, and the other lifted the shaky steel knife on his hands, with only a scabbard hanging around his waist.
The cold light on the steel knife reflected in Deng Ming's eyes, making him, a student who had never been so close to the big knife in his daily life, couldn't speak. He felt his throat tightening involuntarily and swallowed a dry saliva.
The two people on the opposite side stared at Deng Ming, and the man holding a big knife slowly raised the steel knife and inserted it back into the sheath. When the light of the knife completely disappeared, Deng Ming could only move his gaze away from the handle of the knife and turn it back to the face of the person opposite. He felt a chill behind his back, and he was already sweating profusely.
"I'll just say it's a refugee." The man with empty hands looked up and down at Deng Ming, with a smile on his face, and said to his companions around him.
It turned out that both of them were scouts sent by the Ming army to the shore. They saw Deng Ming's strange clothes and sneakily hiding in the grass to peek at the army, and then quietly touched behind him. If Deng Ming had a rat tail of money on his head, the two of them would probably have their swords and used him as a fine spy of the Qing army. However, when they saw Deng Ming's short hair, the whistle detective with empty hands concluded that he was a refugee who had shaved his head and had just escaped from a place controlled by the Qing army to regain his hair. Another thing is to be cautious, and when they approached Deng Ming, they still pulled out the sword.
However, Deng Ming's words "Da Ming" blurted out, the two of them finally felt relieved. Those who still call Ming Jun this way these days must be people who have their homeland. The smiley whistle on his face looked at Deng Ming's chin, which had little beard, and asked, "Little brother, where are you from?"
