Her pupils suddenly contracted, and she turned her head sharply to look at Donna: "You said before that you saw a book about lightning in the library?" Donna was startled by the other party's sudden reaction and replied in surprise: "Uh, yeah." "Which library?" "It's... the library in the center of the school. The one I go to often!" "How long ago did you go there?" Facing Qi Ji's slightly aggressive attitude, Donna was a little confused: "It's been a long time. At least a month before I met you. What happened?" "I have one last question."
Qi Ji's expression became extremely serious at this moment. It was the first time that Donna saw such a cold look on her face: "How did you come up with the name 'Electricity'?" "Well, let me think..." Donna couldn't help but swallow her saliva. After thinking carefully for a while, she answered nervously in a low voice: “A few days ago, I was reading in our school library and saw a novel. "The author named a supernatural power he invented in the book 'electricity'... I thought it was interesting, so I just copied it and used it... Is there any problem with this name?" "Sure enough, it's the library again..." After hearing Donna's answer, Qi Ji suddenly snorted and laughed. "Stay here, I'm going to go out for a while and be back soon." After she said this, her body was enveloped by starlight that appeared out of thin air, and she disappeared the next second, leaving Donna standing there in confusion, not knowing what was going on. In a remote corner of the spacious, tall, and imperial classical style core library. With the emerging star sand, Qi Ji came here. "Come on, let me see who is causing trouble..." Mumbling silently in her mind, she called upon her various senses, ready to explore the entire library, determined to find any possible anomalies. The first thing she did when she arrived at the Imperial National University was to scan and store all the books in the core library. She knew every piece of information about every book in the library by heart and could review them at any time. The academic literature on the characteristics of lightning mentions the novel with the pronunciation of "dian4"... She was 100% sure that there was absolutely no such book in the core library of the Imperial National University! Chapter 344 Retrospective Reconstruction of Reality
With the full expansion of the perception field, all movements in the huge core library were covered by Qi Ji's senses. In an instant, a vast amount of information came pouring in, as huge as a flood, but it pales in comparison to her indescribably powerful thinking and computing power. Qi Ji, standing in the corner, narrowed his eyes and processed the sensory information that flooded into his mind with astonishing efficiency. A detailed model including specific parameters such as structure, materials, temperature and humidity, and mechanical fluctuations was quickly established and synchronized with the status of the actual library in real time. It was like moving an entire library into her mind. It only took Qi Ji a few blinks to complete all of this. After a while, she found her target in a few locations in the library. "Popular science book "The Secret of Thunder", fantasy novel "The Beginning of Astra Notes"..." These two books are placed in the "Academic Popular Science Area" and "Popular Fiction Area" of the library respectively. Their locations are not very conspicuous. If you don't look for them deliberately or are very lucky, it is difficult to find them. It only took Qi Ji a moment to read through the entire content of the two books and memorized them by heart. In terms of content, there is actually nothing particularly noteworthy about these two books. "The Secret of Thunder" is a popular science book written by an imperial naturalist several decades ago. It briefly describes the various characteristics of lightning and static electricity and some of the author's personal speculations. "The Beginning of Astra Notes" is a fantasy novel... Yes, in this different world where magic, martial arts, divine arts and other extraordinary powers really exist, there are also fantasy works similar to fantasy novels on Earth. The contents are similar, except that the author relies on his own imagination to construct a system that does not exist in reality, and uses it as the background stage to unfold the story. In "The Beginning of Astra Notes", the power system designed by the author was named "electricity", which is pronounced "dian4". The "electricity" in the novel and the "electricity" on Earth actually have almost nothing to do with each other, it's just that the names happen to be pronounced the same. As to why he chose such a name that violates the word formation and pronunciation principles of the common human language, there is no way of knowing. Maybe he simply thought it was cool. In general, these two books are quite ordinary popular texts. Not to mention the core libraries with hundreds of millions of books, even the cheap second-hand bookstores in the city have a lot of books of similar quality and content. But the problem is... these two books have been in this library... for quite some time. Judging from the aging of the book pages, the dust accumulated on the surface, and the book storage records of the library management office, "The Secret of Thunder" and "The Beginning of Astra Notes" were included in the core library twenty years and five years ago respectively. Since these two books were included, there has been only one borrowing record for each of them, and the borrower was Donna in both cases, which is consistent with her previous statement. In other words, these two books were already here when I first came to the Imperial University a week ago and entered the core library to scan all the books. however…… Qi Ji carefully checked the library's book information that he had previously entered into his mind several times and was sure that these two books definitely did not exist. The spaces on the bookshelf where they should have been placed were either empty or occupied by the books next to them. But if that’s the case, why are they on the bookshelf at this moment? Why does there exist true and accurate historical collection and borrowing information? "Could it be that I remembered it wrongly?" For the first time since coming to this world, Qi Ji began to doubt his memory and perception abilities.
"No, this is still open to discussion. We can't jump to conclusions... We need to confirm it again..." Thinking about this, she once again compared the library information she had scanned a week ago with the library information she had just scanned in her mind, trying to confirm what other deviations there were between the two besides the two books. You don't know until you compare. The comparison scared her directly. “Why are there so many books I haven’t seen before???” After repeated confirmation and ruling out the possibility that his perception and scanning were wrong, Qi Ji was dumbfounded. "'A discussion of a material that can be used to effectively eliminate static electricity effects', 'Characteristics of corrosion solutions for various active metals', 'More efficient method for preparing saline-alkali reagents', 'New method for preventing rust from forming marine structures'... Where did all this come from?!" After careful comparison, she found that in addition to those two books, there were nearly ten books that did not match the scan records from a week ago. Moreover, according to the status of the books and the records of collection and borrowing, these nearly ten books were already here when she came to the core library a week ago. If it was barely excusable that one or two books were missed during the initial scan, then the current situation cannot be explained away by excuses like "I remembered it wrong" or "I didn't scan it"! There must be something wrong with this library! A big problem! “Could it be that during this period, someone forged the borrowing records? "No, it's impossible. Records can be forged, but the state of the books cannot be forged. At least it's impossible to fool my analysis... Those books have indeed always existed in the library." Faced with the two completely contradictory "facts", Qi Ji fell into great entanglement. "Even if I remembered it wrongly, it's impossible for there to be such a big deviation all of a sudden... Damn, this is really weird! What the hell is going on? No matter how I explain it, it doesn't make sense..." Just when she was at a loss, an idea suddenly flashed through her mind: "Wait a minute, these extra books... seem to have something in common?" After thinking of this, she immediately picked them out separately, listed them in her mind, and analyzed them carefully one by one. "Needless to say, The Secret of Thunder and The Beginning of Astra Notes. The former is directly related to whether Donna's invention of the game console can be realized, and the latter provides crucial inspiration for the name 'Electricity'. "'A Discussion of a Material That Can Be Used to Efficiently Eliminate Static Electricity', 'Characteristics of Rust Solutions of Various Active Metals'... Although Donna has not read these books, they are all highly related to electrolyte solutions, good conductors, etc. "Without these studies as a basis, Donna probably wouldn't have been able to create the galvanic cell by accident, because there simply weren't any materials that could serve as electrochemical materials. "All those 'extra books' were laying the foundation for the birth of the maze game machine...or the application of electricity. "If the series of 'coincidences' that Donna encountered were the driving force behind the key nodes, then the knowledge and results provided by these books are the necessary foundation... "According to the information available, these books have always existed in the library. On average, they are more than ten years old. However, they did not exist a week ago..." As her thoughts progressed, an extremely absurd conjecture gradually emerged in her mind, shocking her heart and widening her eyes involuntarily: "Is there a possibility... that they did not exist in the 'past', but... in order to 'cater' to the birth of the maze game machine, they 'emerged' in the past history? "The history of this world... was 'reconstructed' silently, just to lay the foundation for the invention of electric machines, and I... was the only one who was not affected in this 'reconstruction'? "So, the library information in my memory is different from the library in 'reality'? Because the library in my memory... is what it looked like before reality was 'reconstructed'?" ========================
It’s a new week, remember to give a free like before you go out! Chapter 345 Retrospective Reconstruction of Reality (Part ) "No way, this is too..." When this guess popped up in his mind, Qi Ji himself couldn't believe it. No matter what, history being tampered with, reality being reconstructed... it is really too unbelievable and difficult for people to accept intuitively. According to Qi Ji's current knowledge, even in this alien world where gods and supernatural powers really exist, there is no way to directly interfere with the timeline... Even the most radical and daring scholars in the paranormal field have never proposed a theory that touches on time and history. Not to mention systematic academic conjectures, even in those wild and unrestrained fantasy works, there is rarely any mention of this kind of creation. It can be said that people in this world are still at a rather absolute, classical and intuitive stage in their understanding of "time". Whether in the supernatural realm or the purely physical realm, no excessive exploration has been conducted on it, but it has been tried as an absolutely reliable, eternal, and infinitely extendable yardstick. And now...this kind of thing actually happened? Qi Ji had a very strange expression on his face, a complex look of suspicion, shock and a little confusion. According to the scientific methodology she inherited from modern Earth, when there is a contradiction between observations and "reality", the problem must be with the observer, not reality - reality is never wrong, or reality defines "reality" itself. So, according to this principle...she should admit that she did remember it wrong, or that there was an error when she scanned it. However, for some reason, at this moment she had great confidence in the reliability of her memory and perception. This belief has no reason, but it is extremely firm, just like a person who falls asleep firmly believes that he will wake up the next day. Qi Ji has had similar "intuitions" more than once during the time she has been in this world. She really cannot explain the source and principle of this intuition, but experience has proved that it is correct every time. Perhaps this is the special feature of this body. So... after a brief consideration, she decided... Once again, trust your instinct. "It's not me who's wrong, it's the world... Haha, let's just assume that." After a few self-deprecating chuckles, her expression turned serious and she began to think seriously: "Let's assume that my previous conjecture is correct, that this world's 'history'... or 'reality' has indeed been reconstructed at least once, and my memory has not been affected... Then, why? "Let's not delve into the principles and mechanisms of all this. It's impossible to get the correct result just by thinking and reasoning. What I need to do now is to start from the point of 'what will happen after all this happens', that is... analyze the 'motive'. "This 'reconstruction' mainly adds several scientific research results related to materials science and chemistry to human history, and these results are the premise for Donna's maze game machine to be successfully launched... "Then, judging from the results alone, can it be said that... this 'reconstruction' was ultimately to serve the birth of the maze game machine? “This is a waste of talent, but it makes sense… "But, then what?"
At this point, the reasoning reached a deadlock. Qi Ji couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. If all this was caused by some incredibly powerful existence, then...what good could such a result do to Him? Could it be that some unknown god took this action in order to promote the development of technology in the human world? Things like reshaping the river of time... probably only supreme beings at the level of gods could possibly do it... and it's not necessarily the case. Qi Ji made this assumption only because she couldn't think of a level more powerful than gods at the moment. "It makes sense... After all, this is the first time that electricity has been put to practical use in the human world, and it can be said to be a milestone in progress... But isn't this unnecessary?"
