Preface
Could you specify just how small it is
It is possible that during observations, there will be no interference phenomena. However, when the observation window of the old observation station is opened and closed, the time waves of the two universes will experience disturbances. At the moment the Chongqing observation station is opened, a marble office desk from our universe was thrown over and fell into the Pacific Ocean of the opposite universe. We predict that when it closes, there may also be an object, not exceeding 200 kilograms, being drawn back. At the moment the Chongqing observation station is opened, a marble office desk from our universe was thrown over and fell into the Pacific Ocean of the opposite universe. We predict that when it closes, there may also be an object, not exceeding 200 kilograms, being drawn back. It could be some soil, or some stones, but most likely it will be air
After the briefing, the Chongqing Observation Station closed as scheduled, and no one knows the extent of the impact caused by the disturbance to the time wave
... ...
After feeling grateful to still be on Earth, Deng Ming decided to temporarily cease pondering why he had arrived here, and instead, to quickly find a razor to shave his head first. Deng Ming asked several woodcutters and hunters, and they all said it was the fifteenth year of the Shunzhi era, and that Chongqing was already under the rule of the Great Qing Emperor: "If this is some kind of joke played by aliens or people from the future, perhaps I still have a chance to return. The urgent matter is to avoid being randomly killed by the barbarians."
Compared to Europeans, the Chinese feel a greater sense of loss. After detailed observational reports were disclosed to the curious public, a media outlet commented on China's position in the neighboring universe: "Like us, China in that universe also possesses abundant resources and the largest population, yet in the past three hundred years, China has not made the greatest contributions to the advancement of human civilization and science; one could even say there has been almost no contribution at all. This is truly a deep regret, and it represents a significant waste and sorrow."
The cold light on the steel knife reflected in Deng Ming's eyes, rendering him, a student who had never been so close to a large knife in daily life, momentarily speechless. He felt a tightening in his throat, involuntarily swallowing a mouthful of dry saliva
At what speed will it collide with our planet? Has the observatory made the necessary protective preparations
This neighbor's science and technology are extremely backward. Europeans discovered that in another universe, they were still using fossil fuel-powered war vehicles as primitive weapons in 1942, and they were almost completely unaware of nuclear energy. As for the development of extraterrestrial resources and immigration, they have barely even begun to scratch the surface.
Why is there none?
While he was struggling to find a way to break this seemingly unbreakable cycle, the distant sound of drums echoed. Deng Ming turned his gaze towards the direction of the sound, and the drumming grew increasingly resounding. Soon after, he saw boats approaching him across the river. One boat after another, the sound of the drums emanated from these vessels.
"I said he is a refugee." The person with empty hands looked up and down at Deng Ming, smiling, and said to his companion beside him
"Why have I come to over three hundred years ago?" For the past few days, Deng Ming has been pondering this question to the point of mental exhaustion, yet he still cannot grasp the answer: "This shouldn't be my original universe, right? Theoretically, the solar system revolves around the center of the Milky Way galaxy at a speed I do not know, but it must be quite fast; the Earth also revolves around the Sun, and the Earth from three hundred years ago certainly should not be in the same position. If this were the original universe, I should have been thrown into a vacuum, unable to still be on Earth, and I might not even be in the solar system..."
Despite being aware of the most pressing issue at hand, Deng Ming still could not figure out how to obtain a razor. He estimated that there must be merchants in Chongqing, but he did not dare to go without a haircut. However, staying outside the city, he was at a loss as to how to find the tools.
A flash of purple light appeared, almost as if it were an illusion. Sitting by the river, Deng Ming recalled his experiences; even now, he could not ascertain whether it was indeed purple light, as the speed was simply too fast. Suddenly, the surrounding scenery transformed entirely, and he found himself transported from a bustling metropolis to a desolate wilderness, hundreds of years in the past, having also moved over a thousand kilometers geographically
The person in charge responded: "Everyone knows that time can also be viewed as a kind of wave. The time wave of our universe collapses into our history, while the time wave of the parallel universe collapses into their history. Yes, the design of the old observation station has some flaws; its observation window causes slight interference between the time waves of our two universes."
Extremely, extremely small, to the extent that from a mathematical perspective, it can be considered to have no impact.
The ship drew closer, and Deng Ming dared not remain seated by the riverbank. He hurriedly ran towards the thicket behind him, crouched low behind a tree, and carefully observed the movements.
Finally, Deng Ming was not only able to see the flags on the ship, but also the silhouettes of the people standing on it. The individuals on the ship appeared to be warriors, each carrying a sword, and some were even clad in armor. These people were rhythmically striking their shields with their weapons; what Deng Ming had initially thought was the sound of drums was, in fact, the resounding noise produced by their striking and the shields.
Absolutely not. Firstly, their technology is still far from reaching the level we achieved a hundred years ago. Secondly, the moment of the most intense disturbance is very brief, even if it occurs around a person... The person in charge reiterated that seventy percent of the Earth's surface is covered by water, and even on land, there are vast areas of wilderness and vegetation. The likelihood of it happening near any individual is extremely low, so low that it can be considered negligible: "From a human sensory perspective, one would merely perceive a flash of purple light, so quick that it would be mistaken for an illusion."

The person in charge repeatedly explained, urging the media present not to be overly concerned: "Such a degree of interference has no impact whatsoever on our universe and history."
Will this disturbance be noticed by the opposing universe
It turned out that both of them were scouts sent by the Ming army to the shore. Just now, upon seeing that Deng Ming was dressed unusually and sneaking in the grass to spy on the army, they quietly approached him from behind. If Deng Ming had a queue on his head, these two would likely have acted swiftly, treating him as a spy for the Qing army and eliminating him. However, upon seeing Deng Ming's short hair, the unarmed scout concluded that he was a refugee who had once been shaved and had just escaped from a Qing-controlled area to regrow his hair. The other scout, being more cautious, drew his knife while approaching Deng Ming.

The person in charge smiled and said: "There will be no speed, and the observation station does not need to take any protective measures. While the location is indeed at the observation station, the timing is uncertain, with a range of approximately plus or minus one thousand years. You see, in the past or future thousand years, the area of the Chongqing observation station, this hetushucomcom place, has accumulated dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of soil or stones. The greatest likelihood is air, followed by water, as there is the most water on the surface. This is the impact on our universe, which is negligible, just as it is for them."

The two individuals across from him stared at Deng Ming, and the one wielding the large knife slowly raised the steel blade and sheathed it. Once the glint of the blade completely vanished, Deng Ming was able to shift his gaze away from the hilt and back to the faces of the people opposite him, only to feel a chilling sensation on his back, realizing that he was already drenched in sweat
On the second day of December, a weary Deng Ming sat alone by the riverbank. Just three days ago, he was a student at an art academy; now he seemed to be a refugee.
A voice suddenly came from behind, both close and loud, startling Deng Ming so much that he nearly jumped up. He turned around abruptly and discovered that two people had appeared behind him without him noticing. Both were dressed in tight clothing; one was empty-handed, while the other held a gleaming steel knife in hand, with only the scabbard hanging at his waist
The red flag, with the character 'Ming' inscribed upon it! Deng Ming could hardly believe his eyes, staring at the bright red banner and the soldiers' uniforms, questioning whether the current era was truly the Shunzhi period. He had thought that only Taiwan still had Ming troops in this day and age. The doubts in his heart grew larger, and he could not help but voice his thoughts aloud, muttering to himself: 'Is there really still an army of the Great Ming in Sichuan?'
The year 1658, which corresponds to the twelfth year of the Yongli era of the Ming Dynasty
This is unlikely; it is estimated that it will be drawn back to the location of the observation station. However, it is difficult to say where it was drawn from, but it is almost certain that it was drawn from the surface of the opposite universe and from the library.
The urgent matter, well, the urgent matter is to find a razor, and then... then we will talk further. Deng Ming silently recited this in his mind; although he hadn't eaten for two days, he believed that his mind had become somewhat clearer.
However, the two finally felt relieved when they heard Deng Ming casually utter the words "Great Ming." In this day and age, anyone who still referred to the Ming army in such a manner must be someone with a deep affection for their homeland. The scout, who had a smile on his face, looked at Deng Ming's chin, which had little facial hair, and asked, "Young brother, where are you from?"
The Chongqing Observatory has been in operation for a full seventy years. By 2012, a new observatory built on Titan, Saturn's moon, was completed. This new observatory offers a broader, safer, and more efficient field of view, thus it is time for the Chongqing Observatory to be closed.
Will it also fall into our Pacific Ocean
Then the question arises: "How intense is the interference, and what impact will it have on us"
In the year 1942 AD, which corresponds to the 2495th year of the Eastern Calendar (after the birth of Confucius), an observatory established in Chongqing, China, for the purpose of searching for parallel universes was put into operation. It successfully discovered the existence of a parallel universe, thereby confirming this scientific hypothesis. The observations of this neighboring universe shocked the scientific community, as the history of Earth in this neighboring universe closely resembled that of our own, being almost identical three hundred years ago, with the same notable figures, the same countries, the same languages, and the same arts. However, in the last three hundred years, it has diverged completely.
The head of the observation station was asked by the media at a press conference: "Seventy years ago we did not know, but now we understand that observations of parallel universes can cause interference with neighboring universes and our own universe, correct?"
