<p class="article-text-h">To Ω:</p>
|
||||
<p class="article-text">A good October to you. Time flies: this would already be my 22nd letter to you — last time I had finished telling you the story of the Lady Saint. But before I seek new stories to regale, let us first discuss what is happening around us.</p>
|
||||
<p class="article-text">I have already heard of the terrible incident in September, and I apologise on their behalf. Well, it just so happens that there is a new laboratory: I anticipate you will be able to transfer to it soon. Whether the circumstances will be more favourable than your previous lab, that I cannot say for certain — because from what I hear, the new person in charge is a lady with a rather “earnest” personality.</p>
|
||||
<p class="article-text">However, I must inform you from the standpoint of Schicksal: all the experiments you've been through, have been for the continued survival of a certain species on this planet, one so-called “Homo sapiens” — hence your continued and necessary suffering. The world will always treat some people unfairly, and this is something none of us can really change.</p>
|
||||
<p class="article-text">It has already been three years since the disaster in Berlin. The city has already begun its reconstruction. The people will slowly forget the horrors of that night.</p>
|
||||
<p class="article-text">Yet we all know that, at this present moment, a sinister power continues to grow and fester within the rift of space-time. It spared you back then, but it did not spare the others. If we are able to truly fathom the logic behind this phenomenon, then we “Homo sapiens” will be able to live up to our name, to use our sapience to conquer the natural world — then no one will ever need to spend another day living in fear or delusion, deceiving themselves and others.</p>
|
||||
<p class="article-text">Yes, this is most unfair to you; in fact the most recent events have been particularly unjust to you. But if only for my sake, I hope you can understand and forgive everything. The fate of all humanity, in a certain sense, rests upon your shoulders.</p>
|
||||
<br />
|
||||
<p class="article-text-h">P.S.</p>
|
||||
<p class="article-text"> Concerning your background before your memory loss: as far as I know, the relevant department should still be looking into this — but as you may already recognise, it has been more than three years since the incident, and the possibility of getting any results will only become slimmer with time. But I don't believe that so-called “Child of Honkai” Theory. You can't be a Herrscher, right?</p>
|
||||
<p class="article-text">Perhaps the arrival of new technology will bring about some unexpected turnaround of the whole situation … who knows? The new laboratory really isn't that bad; in fact, I believe when you get there you'll be quite willing to cooperate with them — trust me.</p>

<p class="article-text">Pandu was the ancestor of the Pandavas in the Hindu epic “Mahabharata”, and the nominal father of the “five sons of Pandu”, who included Arjuna among others. </p>
|

<p class="article-text">When he was young, Pandu hunted in the countryside, and shot arrows at a mating antelope — but the antelope happened to be the incarnation of a sage, and Pandu was cursed by him to not be able to approach others with the intention of lovemaking, or else he would die tragically. When he grew up, as a king, he married Kunti, who had learned immortality. Kunti gave birth to sons (including Karna, the son of the Sun god, who was born before her marriage. This eldest son was adopted and brought up by a charioteer), thus giving Pandu heirs. (Translator's note: This is not entirely accurate as far as the most common version of the Mahabharata is concerned — Pandu had already married before he shot the sage and became cursed; Pandu thus exiled himself and his family from his own kingdom because of this curse [hence Tesla's nickname for the cat]; Kunti never learned of immortality; and precisely because of Pandu's curse, all her sons were sired by different fathers, who were all Hindu Gods.) </p>

<p class="article-text">The accommodation provided by “West Cliff Rita” is a small villa with a seaside view. From the second floor, one can see a continuous flow of merchant ships passing through the Thames estuary. The furnishings in the villa are a mix of both Victorian and Colonial-era designs, and hanging from the light wallpaper are art portraits of dubious origin, many of which look like third-rate works commissioned for ten pounds each. </p>

<p class="article-text">The Maunsell Forts are a series of a mass-produced air defense towers built by the British at the mouth of the Rivers Thames and Mersey during World War II.</p>
|
||||
<p class="article-text">The structure of a marine fort is similar to that of an anti-aircraft battery on land. The difference is that it is built on tall stilts atop a concrete barge. After the fort is assembled in the dock, it is towed by a tug to the designated area in the sea, then the concrete barge is scuttled, firmly anchoring the fort's foundation to the seafloor. </p>
|
||||
<p class="article-text">After World War II, the forts were abandoned. Among them, “HM Fort Roughs”, located on the open sea east of the County of Suffolk, was occupied by the family of army veteran Paddy Roy Bates on September 2, 1967. Furthermore, they proclaimed “independence” under international law as the “Principality of Sealand”. Although this declaration is considered by the international community to have no legitimacy, it has become an amusing case in the application of international law. (Translator's note: HM Fort Roughs was misspelled as HMS Fort Rough in the Chinese text. The Fort is not a ship so HMS is the wrong prefix.) </p>

This famine, caused by the failure of potato harvests and the inaction of the British government, caused the population of the island of Ireland to drop by half. Since most of the Irish immigrants left or died in the disaster are poor people whose native language is Gaelic, the local language in Ireland has gradually changed to English, which has permanently changed the language and cultural ecology of the island.</p>

|

<p class="article-text-h">Note:</p>
|
||||
<p class="article-text">The Boston Massacre was a clash between British soldiers and the people of Boston, resulting in the death of five people.</p>
|
||||
<p class="article-text">On March 5, 1770, a British officer (John Goldfinch) bought a wig and returned to camp. The clerk of the wig shop (Edward Garrick) misunderstood and though that the officer did not pay, so he shouted and misbehaved with the officer. The officer had actually setteled the acount and ignored the insults. However a private in his entourage (Hugh White) started an quarrel with the clerk, and finally beat him. The hurt clerk was bleeding and started weeping, and the angry onlookers immediately surrounded the officer and his men. Another British army officer (Thomas Preston) led several soldiers to rescue them, but they were thrown stones and beaten by the people. The British army fired at the crowd in a hurry, killing 5 civilians and causing other six people to be injured.</p>
|
||||
<p class="article-text">Although the responsibility for this matter was not entirely on the British army, it greatly intensified the previous tensions existing between the military and civilians in the British North American colonies, and eventually became one of the most significant events leading to the outbreak of the American Revolution.</p>

<p class="article-text">The Battle of Lexington and Concord (Battles of Lexington and Concord) was an armed conflict between the British Army and the North American militia, which took place on April 19, 1775. Although the U.S. Senate passed a resolution in 1908 to designate the Battle of Point Pleasant as the first battle of the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783), the American society still generally regarded the battle of Lexington and Concord as the first battle. It is seen as the starting point for the war of independence</p>

<p class="article-text-h">Note:</p>
|

<p class="article-text">The Imperial Institute is located in Kensington, London. It was founded by Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom in 1888 and became one of the founding members of Imperial College, London in 1907. (Translator's note: This is not accurate: the Imperial Institute remained a separate institution from Imperial College, although the College now occupies the spot where the Institute once stood.)</p>
|
||||
<p class="article-text">In 1958, the Imperial Institute was renamed the Commonwealth Institute and the campus was rebuilt elsewhere. Of the original building, only the iconic Queen's Tower was retained.</p>

<p class="article-text">In this institution, there are not only low-rise detached buildings like Lab 42, but also several, tall towering buildings with mottled peeling walls.</p>
|
||||
<p class="article-text">Close by, the pastel-green dome of the Queen's Tower is covered with dust and rainwater trails, producing an inexpressibly ugly colour and lustre — it is as if, even on such an uncommonly clear day, it felt the need to mock and remind people of the irksome air pollution that occurs every other weekday.</p>

<text>Having been accustomed to the spotless environs of high-end research labs, the young man named Welt feels oddly comforted by what could be considered as the landmark equivalent of a washed-up celebrity.</text>

<p class="article-text">To the north of the institute is a large expanse of lush and verdant woodland. They say it's the famous Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens — but that will probably be of no interest to that particular pair of lady geniuses.</p>
|
||||
<p class="article-text">For those elites in their ivory tower, I fear that the only method of relaxation that comes to mind is to lean against a garden bench, close one's eyes, and relax.</p>

<p class="article-text">It's not creative enough. Even leaving Einstein aside, Tesla will definitely be bored out of her mind.</p>

<p class="article-text">This sentence comes from Clausewitz's "On War" Chapter 1, Section 3. We should not be partial to its meaning; in fact, in the same chapter, Clausewitz wrote: “If civilized nations do not kill captives or destroy cities and villages, this does not mean that they did not resort to violence. It is because they have used wisdom more and more skillfully in war, and learned to use violence methods that are more effective than this primitive and crude venting instinct.”</p>

The stem is short and only grows two leaves in a lifetime (opposite, the two leaves will grow indefinitely; the distal end will gradually dry up into strips and gather into piles, making it impossible to see that they are originally two leaves). The roots are extremely long, up to 3 meters to 10 meters, to absorb groundwater. The average life span can reach hundreds of years, and some individuals can even reach more than two thousand years.

Phenol is an unsafe disinfectant. Its concentrated solution has a strong ability to penetrate and corrode the skin, and is highly toxic; in modern times, its main use is in chemical synthesis, such as the manufacture of aspirin and phenolic resin.</p>

It is also called "Black Sea Stray" and "Caspian Sea Stray" because of its origin. The European sturgeon is one of the largest freshwater fish species in the world, and is also the largest and most precious species of sturgeon, with a body length of more than 8 meters and a weight of more than 1 ton. The caviar of the European catfish (especially produced in Astrakhan, the "mouth of the Volga River") has plump eggs, a smooth taste, and a long-lasting aftertaste.

<p class="article-text">A silver bullet is a musket bullet made of silver. In European medieval folklore, silver products, such as silver knives, silver forks, etc., are the only weapons that can fight against werewolves, witches and other monsters. Therefore, in the extended meaning, "silver bullet" also means a powerful, once and for all, "all-purpose trump card" suitable for various occasions.</p>

<p class="article-text">In late 1875, Thomas Edison (1847 ~ 1931) moved his home to "Monroe Park" in Raritan Town. Here, from the opening of the laboratory in 1876 to the move out of the factory in 1887, Edison developed more than 400 inventions and applied for more than 1,000 patents in 11 years.</p>
|

<p class="article-text">In 1925, the state of New Jersey honored Edison by erecting the "Thomas Edison Memorial" at the Site of Monroe Park, where Edison's home and laboratory had collapsed due to disuse.</p>

Therefore, it is based on eleven-dimensional space-time (ten-dimensional space plus one-dimensional time).</p>

These dimensions are called Glassman dimensions because they are used The number of the so-called Grassmann variable is not measured by the usual real numbers.... For a positivist like me, the question of'do extra dimensions really exist?' is meaningless.

<text>However, there was no time to be amazed or worried.According to the 「Urgent Inquiry List」, she has been assigned as the Chief Commander and must oversee all rescue operations.</text>
|

<text>She was always planning to act in the shadows so all this did was to speed up the schedule. She has to do what she can to evacuate all potential people that could turn into Otto's hostages.</text>

<text>——To confuse a potential hidden enemy, she used a double to pretend she had just left the base station and contacted her students as if the plan had just been put in motion now.</text>

<p class="article-text">There was a hero of the Athenians named Theseus. He was so great that the locals consecrated the ship he sailed as a monument.</p>
|
||||
<p class="article-text">But time is merciless, and the wood from which the ship was made gradually decayed. So that the great ship would not end up being burned as a sacrifice, they came up with a good idea: every few years, all the parts of the ship should be inspected, and if any were rotten, they would be replaced with new ones.</p>
|
||||
<p class="article-text">So, many years later, when a philosopher came to visit, all the parts on the ship had been replaced at least twice.</p>

<p class="article-text">When the philosopher heard of this, he was very upset. He asked the local people, "Is this still the same ship?”</p>

<p class="article-text">The locals replied nonchalantly: "If you say no, Mr. Philosopher, when do you think it started not to be? You have to know that even when going out to sea, ships need to replace parts from time to time.”</p>

|

<speak chara="newsNoFace">For the 53-year-old Architect, John Smith, today is the first Thanksgiving Day he has celebrated in 22 years.</speak>
|

<speak chara="johnSmithNoFace">As someone from Brooklyn... I am proud of what we've accomplished. We managed to rebuild that building.</speak>
|
||||
<speak chara="johnSmithNoFace">The former Empire State Building—— Now known as Welt Obelisk.</speak>
|
||||
<speak chara="johnSmithNoFace">Now I truly feel like Manhattan is back.</speak>
|
||||
<speak chara="newsNoFace">Welt Obelisk is the result of the skyscraper restoration project by ME Company. The design follows the 1930 version of the Empire State Building to the letter.</speak>
|
||||
<speak chara="newsNoFace">General Mechatronics went through rough times after the 「Thanksgiving Disaster」, but now reborn as ME Company they've become one of the Fortune 500 companies in the world.</speak>
|
||||
<speak chara="newsNoFace">As both a New York citizen and a ME Company employee, this must not have been easy for him. What he is feeling surely cannot be encapsulated by a slogan like "build back better".</speak>
|
||||
<speak chara="johnSmithNoFace">At the time I was just an electrician in charge of the building's security.</speak>
|
||||
<speak chara="johnSmithNoFace">When at around 3-4 o'clock, the security guard on duty suddenly started banging on my door.</speak>
|
||||
<speak chara="johnSmithNoFace">I was sleeping and he dragged me out to the street in my pajamas.</speak>
|
||||
<speak chara="johnSmithNoFace">That's when I realized the city's electric network wasn't working.</speak>
|
||||
<speak chara="newsNoFace">In those chaotic and perilous twilit hours, people like John Smith inspected every corner of the building to eliminate any potential hazards.</speak>
|
||||
<speak chara="johnSmithNoFace">We just followed procedures, really. In situations like that, it's impossible for your brain to figure out what to do, so the only thing we could do was to follow existing disaster management procedures.</speak>
|
||||
<speak chara="johnSmithNoFace">But I gotta give thanks to everyone who was in the building, they respected our instructions and evacuated the building without panicking.</speak>
|
||||
<speak chara="johnSmithNoFace">Otherwise it would had been impossible for the building to collapse and still have 「zero casualties」.</speak>
|
||||
<speak chara="newsNoFace">As everyone knows, the Empire State Building was hit by a sudden meteorite at exactly 12:55pm and collapsed one hour later.</speak>
|
||||
<speak chara="newsNoFace">According to the expert calculations, most of the meteorites from the 「Thanksgiving Disaster」 burnt up at altitudes of more than 300 metres——</speak>
|
||||
<speak chara="newsNoFace">So besides the meteorite that fell into Raritan Bay, this is the only building in New York that was directly damaged.</speak>
|
||||
<speak chara="newsNoFace">However, the panic brought by this disaster still affected the economy, causing the Dow Jones Index to drop below——</speak>

|
||||
<p class="article-text">“Ulysses” is a masterpiece of the stream-of-consciousness genre, and is hailed as one of the top 100 English novels of the 20th century. Each year, June 16 is commemorated as “Bloom Day”.</p>

<text>According to conclusions drawn from ancient manuscripts, when the instantaneous power output of a Honkai eruption reaches over 1000HW, there is a chance for an existence called a “Herrscher” to be born within the disaster zone.</text>
|

<text>The “Herrscher” is a monster transformed from a human who is highly adaptable to Honkai Energy — </text>
|
||||
<text> — These women can use the supernatural power originating from the “Core of the Herrscher” to destroy the human world with impunity.</text>
|
||||
<text>Yes, “women”. More than a dozen Herrschers had been recorded in ancient literature, and with no exceptions, all of them were female.</text>
|

<text>Generally speaking, the adaptability of males to Honkai Energy is much lower than that of females — and the Herrscher is the ultimate manifestation of that adaptability.</text>

<p class="article-text-h">Note:</p>

<p class="article-text">Déjà vu is a French phrase that literally means “already seen”. It refers to a common physiological phenomenon where a person sees a scene for the first time in a conscious state, but feels like they have already seen the exact same situation a second time. </p>
|
||||
<p class="article-text">(Translator's note: the Chinese note further explains the etymology of the Chinese and English terms for the phenomenon — In Chinese, the term is borrowed from the Japanese translation, which is generally translated as “repeated sensation” (既视感), using the same characters as the Japanese Kanji (既視感), or “hallucinatory memory” (幻觉记忆); in English, it is directly copied from the French déjà vu.)</p>

<p class="article-text-h">Note: </p>
|

<p class="article-text"> The Uncertainty Principle states that the position and momentum of a particle cannot be determined simultaneously, and the uncertainty follows the inequality — </p>

<p class="article-text"> — where, h is the Planck constant.</p>

The higher the certainty of some quantities, the greater the uncertainty of others. (Translator note: Schrödinger seems to have confused the Uncertainty Principle with the Observer Effect. Note that this is a common confusion.)</p>

<p class="article-text" style="color:rgb(181,233,247);">The second law of thermodynamics can be formulated as follows: if the entropy of a system decreases, it will inevitably cause the entropy of another system to rise by a greater margin. From the perspective of information theory, this is equivalent to the huge information asymmetry between the ordinary environment where information is highly chaotic, and the negative entropic environment where information is highly ordered. Historically, research has shown that Honkai energy and this information asymmetry have a strong inter-relationship. Mathematically, the imaginary internal energy belongs to the collapsing, convergent manifold, while the so-called divergent manifold — that is, the four-dimensional space-time that we can usually perceive — contains the thermodynamic manifestation of the “real internal energy”; together these can be mathematically-expressed as a higher-order complex function, and as a result it can be used to predict Honkai fluctuations at the sub-atomic scale. Therefore, current researchers generally suspect that this “imaginary internal energy” is Honkai energy, or at least a major constituent of it.</p>

<text>His resourcefulness was unsurpassed, and his valour was unmatched as the bravest of the Coalition forces — whether it was in the Atlantic, or on the Nile, or in Copenhagen, or at Trafalgar, he repeatedly led England to decisive victories. But in doing so he lost his right eye, then his right arm, and finally his own life. </text> <!-- 勇冠三军 = "the bravest of three armies", originally in reference either to the Three Kingdoms, or to the two wings and centre divisions of a single military force. -->

As the microwave-emitting machine operates steadily at full load, the “protective film” of the painting slowly becomes opaque, revealing the unique silvery-white lustre of metal. Drops of liquid metal continuously seep out and vibrate on the canvas, as though they were beads of sweat, and gradually the metal begins to separate from the painting. </p>

The elliptic curve is called an “elliptic curve” because a formula of the form x^3 + ax + b will appear in the process of integral calculation of the elliptic arc length; and it is also related to the reason why the elliptic arc length cannot be expressed in terms of elementary functions. Elliptic curves are also a key springboard to prove Fermat's Last Theorem — its importance in algebra is evident.</p>

<p class="article-text">In the four weeks beginning from now, the lab assistant named Welt will be bearing a heavy responsibility. Lab 42 is now on a “quasi-holiday” because the supercomputer Ada has been shackled with a computationally-heavy task — which means Welt needs to organise recreational activities for the two doctors every day for the entire period. Although one of the doctors proclaims that “Just because we're on vacation, doesn't mean we don't need to work some days”; given the personality of the other doctor, it seems difficult to say for certain what the workload is going to be like for Welt … </p>

Sometimes, they may even lose, defeated and embarrassed by their own human foibles. Spiritually, they may be giants, but sometimes physically or materially they are weaklings; their spiritual strength often takes a long time to be passed down to later generations, before they are eventually recognised as cherished paragons. </p>
