In a complete Non-Archimedean absolute value field, a series converges if and only if its terms tend to zero: the ultrametric inequality bounds every finite tail by its largest term. The displayed sequence tends to zero in Qp​. But each block pk≤n<pk+1 contributes p−1 to the real sum of its p-adic absolute values, so that real sum diverges.
