"Gravitational waves", in 1915, after Einstein's general theory of relativity was proposed, this theory describing "space-time and matter" has been experimentally tested in many places, under the conclusive experimental evidence, scientists have been shocked by this great theory again and again, and in the simplest sentence to describe it, gravitational waves are "ripples of space-time".

What major events occur in the universe can be inferred from the performance of gravitational waves, however, due to the long distance between galaxies, the detection of major events in the universe by observing 'gravitational waves' is no longer immediate.

In the most recent astronomical event, the luminosity distance of the gravitational wave source was about 410 Mpc, that is, the redshift was ~0.09, and 1.3 billion light-years away, a black hole with a mass of 36 solar mass and a black hole with a mass of 29 solar mass merged into a black hole with a mass of 62 solar mass, and the energy of 3 solar masses was lost and released by gravitational waves.

The Milky Way is only 100,000 light-years in diameter, 2.5 million light-years away from the Andromeda Galaxy, and 1.3 billion years ago, when only cyanobacteria on Earth were working hard to produce oxygen and prepare for the flourishing of life for the long years to come.

The 'ripples' caused by the fusion of two small black holes spanned 1.3 billion light-years, spanning countless galaxy clusters, gases, dust, and stars, and swept across the Earth, causing tiny changes equivalent to one thousandth of the diameter of a proton, and finally detected by humans on Earth.

The speed of gravitational wave propagation makes this detection extremely lagging behind.

Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing puzzled and asked, "Boss, what are you going to do?"

"Modify the space tunnel machine to project gravitational wave detectors on alien domains, maintain the opening time of the 'wormhole', and accept detection signals. Zhou Xing's eyes flashed, and he looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and said calmly.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaozhi's face was stunned, and then the calculation power of trillions of times was calculated wildly.

The holographic screen on the operating table, the three-dimensional drawings of the tunnel machine design drawing, beating wildly, and all kinds of data form a waterfall pouring down, changing rapidly, and it is dazzling to watch.

After a few minutes, the holographic screen finally froze, and a complex three-dimensional design was presented in the freeze-frame holographic screen.

"Boss, according to the relevant data, the success rate of this program is: 35%. Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and reported.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing's spirit was shocked and he was overjoyed.

"35% is so high, it seems that this direction should be fine. Zhou Xing said happily.

In terms of success rate, the probability of finally realizing scientific and technological innovation from theoretical research is generally only 5%, involving microparticles, astrophysics, space-time and ,...... , and so on, the success rate of scientific and technological innovation in these esoteric fields will be even lower, and the figure of 35% suddenly made Zhou Xing feel very surprised.

"Boss, increasing the energy output supply can extend the opening time of the 'wormhole' of the space tunnel machine to a certain extent, but it is difficult to cross the threshold of 1 second, so the mass of the detector and the launch speed must be compressed to a limit value. Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xingdao.

After listening to Zhou Xiaozhi's introduction, Zhou Xing nodded clearly, due to the particularity of the 'space-time wormhole', under the current technical level, it is already a very difficult thing to maintain the opening time of the 'wormhole' at about 1 second, and now the only thing that can be done is to work the 'gravitational wave detector'.

"Is there a direction for the probe?" Zhou Xing asked Zhou Xiaozhi directly.

"Boss, it is recommended to process nanoparticle detectors, the success rate is the largest!" Zhou Xiaozhi suggested directly.

"Okay, let's do it, and try to make a breakthrough next year. Zhou Xing couldn't help but nod in agreement.

With the development of nano-medical cabins, Xingyao Group's expertise in the field of nanoparticles has gone farther and farther, and these technologies have developed nanoparticle detectors, nano-sized particles assembled on a matrix, material or device, nano composites, nano surface structures or nano components, electrons, optical sensors, etc.

"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded in response.

Soon, with Zhou Xing as the mainstay, supplemented by Zhou Xiaozhi, and the strong scientific research team of Xingyao Group, the project of developing space nanodetectors began.

Time passed like a white horse, day after day, and in the blink of an eye, a year and six months passed.

People have become accustomed to Zhou Xing's disappearance from public view.

Under the management of Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu, Lin Wei, and others, Xingyao Group strides forward according to Zhou Xing's will.

The establishment of the Federation of Mankind, the relevant policies are inclined to the aerospace field, intelligent artificial technology, photonic computers, 3D printers, intelligent robots, flying cars, controllable nuclear fusion energy, wireless power supply technology,...... With the large-scale application of various high-tech technologies, the development of human civilization has taken a high-speed train and is changing with each passing day.

————————

The conference room on the top floor of the headquarters building of Xingyao Group, Yang Minghua, Lin Wei, Xie Liwu,...... and other people, as in the past, to conduct daily meetings.

With a "bang", the door of the conference room was suddenly opened, and Zhou Xing's figure suddenly appeared at the door.

Some noisy conference rooms seemed to be pressed the pause button, and everyone looked at Zhou Xing in surprise as if they didn't know each other.

"Mr. Zhou, why are you here!"

"Mr. Zhou, why are you free today?"

"Mr. Zhou, is the new project breaking through again?"

“……。 ”

Everyone stood up to greet Zhou Xing and asked excitedly.

The presidents of Xingyao Group have been accustomed to the 'peace of mind' brought to them by Zhou Xing, although Zhou Xing has not appeared in the company's management conference room, but he is the 'backbone' of the entire Xingyao Group, and whenever he comes out of the laboratory to attend the meeting, it is when they are most excited.

Not long after the establishment of the Human Federation, it was also a critical moment for Xingyao Group to stand on top of the world, many major events and major problems would occur at any time, however, Zhou Xing resolutely left the company's affairs behind and continued to bury himself in the laboratory.

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Zhou Xing smiled and comforted everyone with a smile: "Let's sit down first! It's nothing, I'm just here to learn about the company's situation." ”

After speaking, Zhou Xing walked straight to the chairmanship and sat down.

According to the words, everyone sat down one after another, looking a little lost

Zhou Xing looked at everyone's disappointed appearance, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few months, everyone's appearance has improved recently, have I completed the tasks I arranged, why don't you give me a brief report?"

Hearing this, Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu, Lin Wei and others glanced at each other, looking a little embarrassed.

Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "What happened? How is the preparation of the space dock project? Where is the progress of Sky City, and when will the headquarters be moved? I want to know these two fields now, Mr. Yang, Mr. Xie, please explain." ”

Yang Minghua, who was named, Xie Liwu's face stiffened slightly, and the other presidents looked at the embarrassment of the two with a smile, all of them looking gloating.

Yang Minghua and Xie Liwu frequently clashed with each other, competing with each other, with fire and lightning.

Zhou Xing's face was pale, his eyes swept over the faces of the two people, and the aura emanating from his body became more and more majestic.

Xie Liwu sighed, his gaze and Yang Minghua's gaze were defeated, and in desperation, he quickly clicked on the holographic screen and explained to Zhou Xing: " Chairman, the preparation of the space dock has been completed by 52 percent, the main problem is the lagging supply side of the industrial chain, the supply of raw materials, metal refining, metal parts production and transportation, the degree of cooperation of small enterprises, all are dragged down by the supply speed, so that the speed of the entire project has also been dragged down, so it has not yet reached the progress you formulated, I believe that as long as the degree of the industrial chain of Sky City deepens, the formation of a nearby supply place, can be perfectly completed within your specified deadline, and the construction of the dock will begin immediately. ”

As soon as Xie Liwu's voice fell, Yang Minghua's 'fierce' eyes immediately glared at him, bastard, shameless, who said that Xie Liwu was an honest man, did he have such a pit for his teammates! In order to get out of himself, he actually poured dirty water on the 'Sky City' project.

Xie Lijun didn't see it, he stretched out his hand and kept clicking on the holographic screen to introduce Zhou Xing's preparations for the space dock and explain the preparation progress.

In the conference room, everyone nodded frequently, they all looked like they were listening carefully to Xie Liwu's explanation, but the corners of their mouths floated a strange amplitude, with a thick smile in their eyes, even Zhou Xing was no exception.

When Xie Liwu was about to explain, Zhou Xing said with a smile: "Well, that's it, you hurry up and prepare, Mr. Yang, you can report the situation in Sky City!"

Yang Minghua glared at Xie Liwu before retracting his gaze, reaching out and touching the holographic screen, and the overall outline of Sky City suddenly came out.

Yang Minghua explained: "Chairman, the five giant water supply plants have been established, the water resources of the whole city have been completely solved, the power grid system has been set up, the water and electricity are all connected, ten sewage treatment plants have been completed one after another, the laying of sewage recycling pipelines in the city has been basically completed, the three-dimensional transportation system has been put into use, the construction completion of the sky city has reached 68 percent of the first stage, and the start time of 51 ecological farms is short, and it is necessary to wait patiently for three months to supply agricultural products to the market." ”

"Universities, laboratories, kindergartens, shopping streets, parks,...。 All kinds of infrastructure have been basically configured, and the average house price of Sky City is currently maintained at 7,000 star coins, which is twice as high as the global average price, with a fixed population of about 2.52 million and a floating population of about 30 million per day, and showing an increasing state,...... As for the headquarters building, it will probably not be completed until the beginning of next year. ”

Zhou Xing smacked his tongue, he didn't expect that there would be so many floating populations in Sky City, it seems that Xie Liwu's knife to Yang Minghua is a bit crooked.

Yang Minghua looked at Xie Liwu proudly and said with a smile: "Chairman, the situation of the Sky City is good, the throughput is as high as seven million tons per day, the world's ports, shipping, air transportation, and the world's financial center have all been transferred to the Sky City. ”

Xie Liwu said angrily: "That's the situation in the future, the current progress of Sky City can't keep up with the preparation progress of the space dock at all, the financial mechanism is not perfect enough, the transportation intensity is insufficient, the factories in all countries in the world are backward, the industrial chain of the dock preparation work is far from meeting the requirements of my side, the progress of the construction of the soft power of Sky City is not fast enough, and the supervision and management of Sky City has an unshirkable responsibility." ”

"You,...... , you are nitpicking, the construction of the city in the sky should go steadily ...... whether it is good or not. Yang Minghua looked at Xie Liwu with a heavy face and said unhappily.

Zhou Xing laughed and persuaded him: "Okay, don't fight, I know your difficulties, don't rush, take your time." ”

After a pause, Zhou Xing looked at the others and asked, "How is the situation of other projects?"

Hearing this, everyone's spirits were shocked.

Xie Liwu took Zhou Xing's words and introduced with a very excited expression: "Mr. Zhou, the lunar immigration plan and the Mars immigration plan are being carried out in an orderly manner,... , the preparations are going well, and there is no need to adjust the timing of the announcement to the public. ”

As soon as Lin Wei's voice fell, Chen Fan couldn't wait to look at Zhou Xing and introduced: "Mr. Zhou, the virtual community has been officially operating for a period of time, and the momentum of development is very strong, and it is currently divided into four major areas, namely the teaching area, the entertainment area, the business area, the scientific research area, and the interstellar version." Civilization and war' has been embedded in the daily life of all people, the response is very good, now our group's star currency system has entered the global circulation state, with the popularization of photon smart wrists, with the cooperation of the human federal government, the group's monetary system has now entered a stage of steady development, in the field of financial settlement operation normally. ”

"Mr. Zhou, in addition to the lag in the preparation of the spaceyard, because of the active cooperation of the human federal government in other projects, the group has now entered a stage of steady development, and the group is operating normally in all fields, and the situation is good, and there are no major problems during this time. Yang Minghua finally summarized and reported to Zhou Xing.

As soon as Yang Minghua's words fell, fierce applause rang out in the conference room, and everyone was excited to celebrate the brilliant future of Xingyao Group.

In the conference room, the thunderous applause stopped for a while, Zhou Xing smiled happily: "Great, Mr. Yang is fortunate to have suffered from you, everyone has worked hard, the group's achievements today depend on everyone's efforts, I feel that everyone is not drunk at night." ”

That night, the core executives of Xingyao Group gathered to celebrate Zhouxing's private banquet, with staggered cups, singing and dancing, and melodious laughter to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter.

Since the establishment of the human federal political axe, human society has suddenly entered a new era, the world no longer has borders, people around the world are free to move, Xingyao Group and the federal government complement each other, and a variety of new technologies have been taken out of the laboratory and applied in large quantities.

With the spread and planting of genetic plants, the desert environment and the forest environment have begun to change fruitfully, and the environmental protection policy has been introduced and a large number of new pollution control technologies have been introduced to control air pollution, control various heavy metal pollution, recycle and reuse various pollutants, utilize new energy, and new food production methods, and the earth's ecological environment has rapidly improved.

With the large-scale application of flying cars, the range of human activities is becoming more and more extensive, in the morning in the southern hemisphere, in the afternoon in the northern hemisphere, and in the evening may even run to the poles.

With the faster and faster pace of photon intelligent brain application life, the whole society is changing with each passing day, and now the wealth created by the world every day is ten times that of one day two years ago, and two to three times that before the establishment of the Human Federation, and it is still growing.

Because 'civilization and war' is invented every day new technologies, mankind has entered the state of the fourth scientific and technological revolution, and the reform of the appropriate political system and the appropriate production relations have also affected the rapid development of the social productive forces.

Under the leadership of Xingyao Group, all kinds of resources are concentrated to develop world-class projects, primary industry, secondary industry, a large number of engineering intelligent machines are used to increase efficiency, reduce costs, explode production capacity, frantically expand the tertiary industry and the fourth industry, increase jobs, rationally design the industrial structure, precision layout of various industrial chains, global division of labor and cooperation, meticulous division of labor, and improve the economic pattern between various regions of the world.

All kinds of intelligent engineering robots, bio-intelligent brain 3D printing technology... The popularization and application of high-efficiency and high-speed production tools in large quantities, the level of production technology has skyrocketed, the material wealth of the entire human world has swelled sharply, and personal wealth has increased greatly.

Xingyao Group uses longevity gene medicine to harvest a large amount of income from the wealthy class, provide the welfare of people all over the world, carry out the second distribution of wealth in the world, balance the social wealth structure, increase the welfare of all mankind, encourage population growth, and the whole society is actively preparing for the upcoming wave of cosmic migration.
