"The end is at hand, overpopulation, global warming, the spread of infectious diseases, food crises, biodiversity loss, ocean acidification, nuclear war, genetically engineered viruses...... Each of these is a catastrophe for mankind, and there may be aliens invading the earth. We should vigorously study basic physics, because only basic physics can bring about a qualitative leap forward in science and technology. In what way do you think the end of humanity will come?"

Ji Tianci didn't think much about it and replied directly: "Alien invasion." ”

This funny answer made Fang Qi think seriously, "What the junior brother said makes sense, other disasters are predictable, and they can also be controlled by the government, but this alien invasion can't count the time, maybe they are already lurking on the earth." ”

"Yes, I have always believed that there are aliens on Earth. What do you think humans should do if aliens were to invade the earth?" asked Ji Tianci, half-jokingly.

"Fight, run if you can't win. Fang Qi didn't think about it, and directly gave a positive answer.

Ji Tianci was a little surprised, but he didn't expect this young man who looked very dull to have such a resolute attitude.

"How to run, where to run?" Ji Tianci was a little serious at this time.

Fang Qi glanced left and right, and then whispered to Ji Tianci: "Secretly tell you, we are studying curvature flight." Theoretically, we can already make a 'curvature engine', but it requires a lot of money, and several of my mentors and I are applying for funding from the state, but it just takes too much. ”

"Curvature flight? Faster-than-light flight? If it can be realized, it will be worth the extra money! This is a necessary condition for mankind to explore the universe, and it should be vigorously supported, right, how much money do you need?"

Fang Qi picked at his head. In his twenties, his hair has turned half gray, "at least more than 10 billion, dollars." ”

"Oh my God, so much money?" Ji Tianci's eyes widened.

"Well, and there is no guarantee of success, the probability of developing a curvature engine is about half and half of this 10 billion. Moreover, the development of the curvature engine will certainly be hindered by other countries. ”

"Why? It's a contribution to all of humanity. ”

"I think so too, to contribute to humanity. The deeper you study the natural sciences, the more you feel that the earth is not safe. I have wanted to explore the universe since I was a child, but the research results of scientists are often used by politicians and military strategists to fight wars. Since the United Nations promulgated the nuclear ban regulations, nuclear energy research can only be carried out behind the scenes, and other countries will definitely think that we are studying nuclear weapons under the guise of studying curvature engines. ”

"And what are you going to do now?"

Fang Qi sighed, "The development of the curvature engine has been stopped at the theoretical stage, and I have started to work on another topic again, quantum entanglement, which can be regarded as some progress." ”

"Quantum entanglement? What are you doing with this?"

Einstein called quantum entanglement 'ghostly long-range action.'" Think about it, if I think of two different spaces AB as entangled quanta, when I am in space A, I should also exist in space B, and then turn off the entangled state in space A, then I won't appear in space B? Wouldn't this achieve instantaneous teleportation? I think that the characteristics of quantum entanglement are beyond time and space, but it's a pity that this is too 'mysterious' to study. ”

Ji Tianci heard Fang Qi's explanation as if he was struck by lightning, quantum entanglement, the teleportation array in the mythical story, and the starry sky tree of the Qing clan, is the principle the same?

Fang Qi smiled self-deprecatingly again, "The teacher and classmates persuaded me to give up, and now the cutting-edge quantum theory research is only used in quantum communication, and it only uses quantum 'uncertainty', not faster-than-light communication, it can only be regarded as an encryption technology." As soon as my theory was proposed, experts and scholars shook their heads, I wanted to verify it, but I didn't know where to start, and I didn't even have a complete teleportation theory. Oh, my name is 'Give Up (Fang Qi)', maybe I really should give up. ”

Fang Qi looked at the tablet in his hand again, and was about to turn off the power, but Ji Tianci whispered.

"Don't give up!"

Fang Qi was stunned and looked at Ji Tianci puzzled.

"You will succeed, your theory is not perfect, but your idea is right. Teleportation arrays are not easy to study because you don't think about problems across dimensions. ”

"Interdimensional? You mean thinking from multiple disciplines? I also minored in biology, earth science, chemistry, ......."

Fang Qi was about to continue, but Ji Tianci interrupted him, "No, what I'm saying is that you don't want to be bound by the existing concept of time and space, as you just said, the quantum of the entangled state has a transcendent effect, and this correlation may really not exist in the world we can perceive, just like human thoughts and emotions, they are also a kind of power, maybe this power is the power that belongs to quantum entanglement, and it is the key to open the portal." ”

As soon as Ji Tianci finished speaking, this time it was Fang Qiru's turn to be struck by lightning, he faintly caught something, but he couldn't express it, and after a long time, he replied: "What you said is very mysterious, but it seems that there is some truth." What do you mean by the power of thought and emotion? I understand that thinking refers to brain activity, which relies on synapses and bioenergy, and emotion comes from the stimulation of the brain by trace hormones in the body. ”

"I'm not talking about that, and I can't describe the power of thought and emotion, because we can't see it in this plane, but it exists. You and I are in the Arabian Nights, but they also have their own names, called 'spiritual power' and 'telekinetic power'. ”

Fang Qi nodded, "I believe in the existence of this kind of force, but I didn't expect it to be two forces." ”

"They have the same root and different origins. ”

"Like a positive or negative charge?"

"Almost......"

"A force of this nature will bring telepathy?" Fang Qi asked again. In his opinion, many twins are also entangled quanta to a certain extent. Many twins have had the experience that although they are in different places, their emotional states are often very similar.

"Almost......"

Ji Tianci thought that the sacrificial clan built statues to communicate with the ancestors, and most of the statues also had old things from the ancestors, and attaching spiritual power to the statues could communicate with the ancestors, is this also the quantum that established the entangled state? But he couldn't explain all this to a serious scholar, he could only answer with "almost".

Fang Qi sat motionless in his chair, but the glint in his eyes made people believe that he was thinking about the problem of the century.

Ji Tianci is a little weak in the face of such a scholar, it seems that the transcendent world's understanding of "power" only knows what it is, but does not know why it is, and everyone is unwilling to study their own particularity to the bottom of the matter, and regard all the extraordinary as innate.

Fang Qi just sat there like that, Ji Tianci didn't bother him anymore, until He Xiaolong came over with a large plate of barbecue, he was still a "thinker" appearance.

He Xiaolong proudly put the barbecue on the table, "Come, everyone eat, eat, eat, today is Mai's future barbecue, I deliberately washed my hands three times." Oh God, you eat it too, leave him alone, my brother is like that. ”

For a person as focused as Fang Qi, it was the first time Ji Tianci had seen him, and he couldn't help but observe Fang Qi with his Tiantong eyes.

But when he saw it, Ji Tianci was shocked again......

(Fang Qi is a very important character, he doesn't have many roles in the first part, but he is crucial in the second part of the book.) ）
