Parallel worlds – two. Birth of God
Шрифт:
– The point is, you have to connect with YatSan from here. So we can put you in a rig and you can alpha-visualize your entangled pairs. Here and there.
– There you go," Iulia said in surprise. – What secret are you hiding from us?
– There's nothing to hide, Rutra has a very high status there. He was there. I mean really Ruthra was there," Parmenides admitted treacherously. – I'll tell you now. Why do you think we want to do it all so quickly without any special experiments? Because time is short. The world is on the brink of catastrophe. Your favorite was there… moreover, do you know who he is?
– Who? – Iulia asked.
– Didn't you notice the couple's portrait in the bedroom?
– I did.
– And who was there?
Iulia tried to remember. Catherine and Andrian also thought about it.
– It's, it's… you, Ruthra? – Catherine's expression was formal.
– Yes, he is the president there. YatSan and Rutra are husband and wife there," the scientist blurted out.
– Wait, wait," before Iulia could finish speaking, the hologram came into motion.
It was huge, and it gave the impression – everything was happening right in front of them right now. There was a view from the street to the house. It was a luxurious mansion with columns. Suddenly, a bike – a fantastic-looking motorcycle – "flew" out of it onto the street. YatSan was sitting on it. She burst into the street and sped down the oncoming lane, wriggling like lightning.
– Irene, can you get information from their systems? From this NaRiKa?
– I'm on it. Through all the surveillance systems. Yatsan has access to everything there, but her ability to influence them is a little limited. There's some kind of lockdown.
– Apparently, she's a bit of a miracle out there, too. Where she's going, can't you find out?
– Apparently to you.
– Well, well, that's interesting, Rutra Tigrovitch," Parmenides said, rubbing his hands together.
– Why are you laughing? You know the consequences.
– I believe in Yat-San. She will save you from you.
– Oh, my God. Don't you realize what's going on?
– It's gonna be a big boo-boo. There was a big bang in the universe, so let there be a big bang on Earth. Maybe the world will be a new world.
– Maybe he will, just without us.
YatSan drove like a madwoman, crossing lanes without paying attention to signs and traffic lights. Suddenly, the ladies shrieked, and Ruthra looked up from the scientist and looked sharply at what was happening. YatSan was racing toward an approaching sports car. He was stepping on the gas, and she wasn't going to give way. Rutra's hair stood on end, and Julia and Catherine covered their mouths with their palms in horror. The lab staff froze in anticipation, Andrian reflexively prepared to catch the holographic figure. Only Parmenides watched calmly.
The car squealed with a squeaky, ear-splitting screech of braking. YatSan, also braking, but not so intensely, created a noxious mixture of deafening sounds; the engine roared like a tiger and played the lead role. It was a show no one expected. The sports car skidded across the track, and the other cars struggled to avoid the impact. The bike, squealing, switching from braking to slipping, made a turn around the stunned car driver, came forward. YatSan, deliberately epathetically, at the same time gracefully, let the tachometer see the peak of its capabilities several times, then, raising the bike in a "wili" pose, rushed to the hood of the car, made a circle there, jumped off, turned around and carried on. There was silence on the track, as well as in the observation room.
– It's not YatSan," Iulia said cautiously.
– YatSan, YatSan, still like YatSan," the scientist said cheerfully.
– Irene, are we confused? Maybe the consciousness transition didn't happen? – Ruthra asked.
– I'm clear on the location," she replied.
– Oh! How? – Ruthra exclaimed excitedly.
– How? Where?" the scientist asked, looking at Rutra with equal delight.
– That's a long way off.
– You tell me how? By the stars on the ceiling?
– No. Particle bonding. They form a continuous line of communication. That is, entangled pairs of particles don't fly away: they fly away and come back. One particle here, one particle there. Some leave their second pair here and some leave their second pair there. We are not transmitting her brain, not the information recorded, but the state of the particles. Having made her digital copy of her consciousness as if it were a kind of puzzles, we passed the particles through them, they changed their state, then this state was transmitted to the particles in YatSan's brain.
– Oh, my God. Maybe that's what you did to her psyche! – Iulia almost screamed.
– I told you it was dangerous here," Catherine whispered quietly.
– It can't be. Everything must be as it is in the virtual, plus the transfer of consciousness to the clone," Ruthra said.
– I don't think so," Parmenides intervened.
– Tell me, then. You never know," Ruthra snapped at him.
Those present felt uncomfortable.
– There was information going on.
– Where – there? In the virtual, what information went where?
– There was definitely no information going on here.
– Here, esteemed luminary of science, we have given birth to information in her brain. We transferred the state of our YatSan's particle there. We created memories, thinking, logic, emotions, so they became like our YatSan's. At such a distance, passing through such radiation, gravity, everything can change.
– Let's see what's next. She has a clear mission, a purpose.
– What the hell is that? Why we don't know," Iulia stated boldly, as always.
Ruthra looked at her without emotion, then shifted his gaze to Andrian and Catherine. There was a question mark on their faces, too, and a slight tinge of resentment.
Realizing this, Rutra decided to clarify a bit.
– We're talking about how she thinks: like our YatSan, or like the one there. The body of the one living there, and therefore the brain. We don't know for sure… In the settings of the "pumping" session and virtual reality we can check it. What about there? While we are pondering: do we only receive an image in the form of brain signals from there, or is that person really our YatSan's consciousness? Imagine if it's not our YatSan. Because then she doesn't know what we have entrusted to her.
– And what did you assign her to do, I was more interested in that, may I ask? – IuLia asked, though everyone's interest in it was understandable.
– It's still the same topic. Only it's not fully disclosed to you. I planned it after the experiment. I didn't want to shock you.
Ruthra let out a heavy sigh. He looked at his colleague, then scratched the back of his head and made a revelation:
– The fact is that in my first test, my first experiment, a nuclear disaster played out in the world I found myself in.
