♪ Alleyway of Roaring Waves
Original Composer: Wanwan ( @wanwan44 )
Arrangement: Kirbio

Original Song: MPP stage 1 theme

This is the seventh track theme.

Mystical Power Plant is a fangame that holds a special place in my heart, being the very first fan game that was released when I came to the community. So it would not be surprising for me to represent this game in this album in some way.

For this one, I aim to replicate the instrumentation of the recent official games like Hidden Star in Four Seasons or Unconnected Marketeers.
I am also really proud of how the second half came out in the end.
Initially, I had no idea what to do, so I just simply went with the flow and tried different things as I saw fit.
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did when working on it, too.

======================================================

The pair reached their seats just in time before the show started.
'Philosophical Models of the Universe: Past, Present, and Future.'

The first segment went over classical depictions of the world: from concentric spheres filled with angels flapping about, to flat planes with water running off the edge, to layers of Hell that stretched 40,000 yojanas below the ground.
While audiences in past generations may have dismissed these notions as silly, both modern scientific research and modern spiritual research have found a kernel of truth to them. Superunified physics had indeed found layers stacked high above ours, while research into boundaries produced a model of the world that resembled many overlapping bubbles.
Renko and Merry playfully elbowed each other as a picture of the Flammarion engraving came up.

As the presentation moved through a brief summary of turn-of-the-century hypotheses, Merry muttered a few comments about the eternalist variant of the so-called "block universe."

"That one's scarier than the tree branches if you ask me. The whole thing, just frozen in place like that? Even the future?"
"Like the Eight Cold Hells, with everyone stuck in the ice..."
"Or like the jello molds on the dessert menu earlier."

The show's main attraction, however, was an exploration of extremely recent hypotheses made with the help of quantum computing technology.

Normal computers operate on concrete values. 1 means "on", 0 means "off". Even if the range of numbers goes up, the computer can still only observe one state at a time, before moving on to the next one very fast. But thanks to how particles behave at quantum scales, a quantum computer can observe both states simultaneously, and can thus compute much larger and more complicated scenarios.

...At least, in theory. Prototypes developed in the past had simply cost far too much and were impractical for general use. But the quantum computer that the presenter had brought out on stage was surprisingly small-- not much bigger than a large laptop, with a bulky, tube-shaped extension attached to its side.

Renko whistled. "I thought it'd be a couple more years before they got them that small."
Merry tilted her head. "A computer that can see several worlds at once?"

"Several circuit boards, at the very least. But compared to you, I think it's still got a lot of catching up to do."
"And more downsizing. My brain doesn't weigh nearly that much."
"But maybe your brain IS secretly a quantum computer!"
"...Don't say scary stuff like that."

These advancements were thanks to the discovery of certain subatomic behaviors in easily-procured materials. Perhaps it wouldn't be that long before quantum computers entered the market for household appliances.
