科齋第A069回：蕎麥農卡洛斯 (Buckwheats)

從前有個種蕎麥的農民卡洛斯，在隕石撞擊他的農場後，他經歷了一場詭異的遭遇。之後，一個紅頭髮的巨人反覆出現。他召喚了機器人戰士，但巨人並沒有傷害他。真正讓他痛苦的是妻子卡蜜拉的過世。

她死於絕症。從那以後，他的生活一片黯淡，感覺人生失去了所有意義。後來，巨人再次出現，他發現這個紅髮的巨人長得和他一模一樣的。後來一次奇遇後，卡洛斯從床上醒來，卡蜜拉問他是否安好，怎會這樣！

他提醒自己，他已經穿過一個漩渦來到了另一個世界。這不是他的妻子，而是紅髮卡洛斯的卡米拉。事實上，卡洛斯本人並不高大，他進入平行世界時穿著盔甲而已。

他身邊的一支隊伍正在調查落在他那片枯萎莊稼地裡的飛彈攻擊。那看起來像是某種戰爭所致，因為那事件，在他蕎麥田上也呈現出隕石撞擊的景象，彷彿某種平衡狀態。

卡蜜拉召來給通用AGI愛因斯坦，來解釋這種擾動。他說，同一個卡洛斯的存在擾亂了兩個世界，只有消滅一個卡洛斯才能達到永恆的平衡。其實很簡單，卡洛斯跑回自己世界。

卡洛斯認為他只需要消滅一個紅髮卡洛斯，就能永遠讓他遠離自己的土地。他回到原來的世界，叫來機器人戰士，等紅髮卡洛斯下次到來的時候，就殺了他。

There was a buckwheat farmer Carlos who had an eerie encounter after meteor strike on his farm. Then a red-haired giant came time after time. He called his robot trooper but the giant didn't hurt him. What hurts a lot is the death of his wife, Camilla.

She died of a terminal illness. Since then it is so bleak that he felt there is nothing for him to hold on in life. Then the giant came again and he discovered red-haired giant looked just like him. Carlos woke up in the bed and Camila asked him if he's okay!

He reminded himself that he had passed a vortex to another world. This is not his wife but the Camilla of Red Carlos. In fact, that Carlos wasn't big at all, he wore an armour when he entered to his parrallel world.

A team on his side is investigating missiles hit on his blight field of crops outside. That looked like some kinds of war going on, as the event was reflected as a meteor strike on his buckwheats, a sort of equilibrium.

Camilla called up AGI Einstein to explain its disturbance. He said the existence of same Carlos had stressed the spatial dimesion in both world that only the elimination of one Carlos can achieve an eternal balance. It's simple enough, Carlos ran back outside.

Carlos thinks all he needs is to eliminate a Red Carlos, then he would keep him away foever from his land. He went back to the original world and called the troopers over to kill Red Carlos when he arrived next.
