Hello, Mr. Major General

A cool breeze blew on the deck in the middle of the night. The surface of the sea was quiet and gentle, and the moonlight was as silver as satin. The stars were sparkling like diamonds falling on the dark blue sky.

They were not in the mood to appreciate such a beautiful night.

Huo Shaoheng turned to take a look. “Ms. Song, what are Big Xiong and little ze talking about quantum mechanics? They even said it was more similar to what happened to Nianzhi and professor he?”

Song Jinning walked up to him and held the railing of the ship with both hands. She thought for a moment and said, “Are you talking about the superstrong magnetic field that I discovered that caused the scenery to overlap?”

Huo Shaoheng:”…”

Chen lie scratched his head. “I think so? They’re talking about whether… Professor he and Nianzhi… were also overlapped…”

So there were two identical people?

Song Jinning pursed her lips. “They really can think.”

She paused for a moment, then shifted her gaze to the surface of the sea and began to explain. “I might not have explained it clearly before.”

“First of all, quantum mechanics is more about the phenomena of the microscopic world, and the phenomena of the macroscopic world can not be directly applied to this theory.”

Seeing that Huo Shaoheng and Chen Lie were both silent, song jinning knew that they did not understand either.

Fortunately, she had heard from Zhao liangze and Yin Shixiong about the little girl in the submarine earlier in the cabin. She also knew that the little girl might be the real Gu Nianzhi, and that she looked exactly like the Gu nianzhi they used to be familiar with, even the DNA might be the same. Even though they hadn’t tested the little girl’s DNA yet.

Song Jinning thought of Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze’s wild words and smiled, she continued, “In the microscopic world described by quantum mechanics, particles can indeed appear in different places at the same time. But this is talking about particles, not people or objects in the macroscopic world.”

“I told them just now that the scene in Ozawa’s photo appeared blurry, but the overlapping phenomenon with clear boundaries is indeed somewhat similar to this theory.”

“But there is another explanation for this phenomenon in the macro world. It can’t simply be explained as the same scene appearing in different places at the same time.”

Huo Shaoheng was silent for a moment. “Then what explanation do you have?”

Song Jinning made a gesture. “If the macro world must be applied to this theory of quantum mechanics, then it must be Schrödinger’s cat.”

“When the cat is in the box, it can be in two states of being alive and dead at the same time. It’s the so-called ‘both alive and dead’

“But when you open the box and you find the cat, there is only one state left

“At this time, whether it is alive or dead, there is only one state. It is either alive or dead. There will be no more cases of being both alive and dead at the same time

“Do you understand? So if you insist on applying he zhichu and Nianzhi’s situation, I don’t think it’s appropriate.”

“What’s not appropriate?”Huo Shaoheng understood a little, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

“Because in the theory of Schrodinger’s cat, there’s only one cat from the beginning to the end. Whether it’s dead or alive, or both, it’s always the same cat. There have never been two cats.”

“And the situation you are facing now is that there are two of He Zhichu and possibly two of Gu Nianzhi.”

“One group, he zhichu and Gu Nianzhi, have already grown up. The other group, however, have already died when they were young. Their bones have been found by you. How can they be the same as Schrodinger’s cats?”

“What exactly are you thinking?”Song jinning sighed. “I don’t believe that they are clones either, so the problem is still their DNA.”

Huo Shaoheng frowned. “But Chen lie has already tested their DNA and confirmed that nianzhi, who grew up with us, is indeed Gu Xiangwen’s daughter.”

“If the little girl in the submarine is also Gu Xiangwen’s daughter and has the same DNA as nianzhi, then it’s the same as he zhichu and the 16-year-old boy.”

“Then why did you say that the problem is still in the DNA?”

Huo Shaoheng was extremely puzzled.

Song Jinning raised her eyebrows. “Are their DNA really the same?”

Her sharp gaze turned to Chen Lie. “There are three billion base pairs in the human genome. Have you really compared all the base pairs, including their sequence?”

“How is that possible!”Chen lie smiled bitterly. “It’s impossible to compare the three billion base pairs according to their sequence!”

“So you didn’t compare all the base pairs, so you can’t say that their DNA is exactly the same.”Song Jinning was a standard scientist. She was very particular about rigorous reasoning and logic.

When an ordinary person said that they were “Exactly the same,”it was actually a general category.

However, in song Jinning’s opinion, if the two of them really had the same DNA, then they had to compare every base pair to reach this conclusion.

Without a base pair, it couldn’t be said that they were exactly the same, even if they looked exactly the same.

Chen lie couldn’t believe his ears. “You mean to completely compare all of their DNA base pairs? Three billion base pairs? !”

Song jinning nodded and said implicitly, “I know it’s a lot of work, but until we find a suitable theory to guide the test, we can only use the exhaustive method.”

Huo Shaoheng frowned slightly and looked at Chen Lie. “You didn’t use the exhaustive method to compare before?”

“Haha…”Chen Lie laughed dryly. “Huo Shao, there are three billion base pairs in each person’s DNA. Three billion plus the order of the sequence. Do you know what that means?”

Huo Shaoheng looked at him quietly. “This is your job scope. You’re asking me?”

Chen lie blushed at his words. After a while, he said embarrassedly, “Huo Shao, using DNA to test a person’s immediate family relationship is different from comparing the DNA base pairs of two people.”

“Speak English.”Huo Shaoheng raised his voice. “Don’t talk to me about your biomedical terms.”

Chen lie pushed up his glasses and said thoughtfully, “Using DNA to test a person’s immediate family relationship is actually only enough to test three types of unique Microsatellite DNA.”

“The usual method is to determine the three types of Microsatellite DNA each contained by the father and mother.”

“As long as these types of Microsatellite DNA can be found in the child’s body, we will be 99.9999999% sure that they are biological children.”

“If we can not find these types of microsatellite DNA, then we will be 100% sure that they are not direct kinship.”

Huo Shaoheng listened for a long time before he digested and understood. He said, “You mean that when DNA tests for direct kinship, there are two situations.”

“One is that there are direct relatives, and the other is that there are no direct relatives.”

“Using this method, we can accurately rule out the situation where the two of them are not direct relatives, which means that they are not biological father and son or mother and son.”

“But we can’t be 100% sure that they are direct relatives?”

“Yes, that’s what I mean.”Chen lie nodded at Huo Shaoheng, “When I compared the DNA of professor he and the 16-year-old skeleton, I did the same thing. I compared the Microsatellite DNA and found that they were exactly the same, even the usual mutated nodes were the same. But…”

“But what?”Huo Shaoheng’s gaze sharpened.

Song jinning understood and explained to huo shaoheng, “I understand what Chen Lie is trying to say. However, from the current situation, we can only compare a few sets of Microsatellite DNA, which is not enough to meet our test requirements.”

To put it simply, it was enough to test three random Microsatellite DNA sequences for immediate family identification.

However, in order to prove that the two people’s DNA was exactly the same, they had to compare all three billion base pairs.

If the three and three billion numbers were compared here, a discerning person would know the workload and difficulty of the latter at a glance. Compared to the former, of course, it was a geometric increase.

She turned to look at Chen Lie. “So you should still compare the three billion base pairs of the two of them one by one in order to find out what the situation is.”

This was because in terms of DNA itself, there was not much difference between people.

In order to really compare all the DNA, one had to compare the three billion base pairs one by one in the original order.

Huo Shaoheng had originally believed in Chen Lie’s test on he zhichu’s condition, but now that song Jinning had mentioned it, there seemed to be something else going on. He immediately looked at Chen Lie. “You’ve never done a comparison of the order of the three billion base pairs before?”
