At a depth of one hundred and fifty meters under the headquarters of Xingyao Group, a metal pipe nearly 2 meters straight extends to the east, with no end in sight.

In the operation laboratory connected to the other end of the metal pipe, a group of scientists are scattered around, busy preparing equipment and testing instruments.

Zhou Xing sat in front of the experimental console, staring intently at the holographic screen, verifying the data and testing the status of the instrument.

The holographic screen shows the three-dimensional structure of the instrument and equipment, marked with dense data, the structure of the instrument and equipment, the operation status is presented one by one, the metal pipeline buried deep in the ground, the annular structure, the circumference has reached more than 70 kilometers, and it is an incomparably vast construction project.

On the laboratory console, standing next to Zhou Xing, Zhou Xiaozhi reported: "Boss, the spectrometer and sensor are working normally,...... , the energy memory has reached its upper limit. ”

Zhou Xing nodded: "I saw it, and I am ready to conduct an experiment." ”

Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and proposed: "Boss, we use the safest experimental method, and the success rate of the experiment is only about 3.5%, I suggest that the experiment be postponed for a few years, and the space laboratory will be established before starting." ”

Zhou Xing's profound gaze swept over all the busy scientific experts one by one, and said seriously: "Don't persuade me, even if the experiment fails, it is better to accumulate technical experience, and scientific research is not achieved in one shot." ”

"Understood, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi was a little incomprehensible.

In its system cognition, data is the only reliable thing, since the success rate is so slim, it should create other conditions to improve the success rate, instead of Zhou Xing, a multi-billion experiment for subordinates to 'practice'.

"Mr. Zhou, all the testing work has been completed and everything is ready. Xu Shaobin, the person in charge of the experimental project, was anxious, walked in front of Zhou Xing, and reported excitedly.

Zhou Xing nodded and ordered, "Prepare to start the test." ”

"Understood!" Xu Shaobin was shocked and happily responded.

Immediately, Xu Shaobin turned around, greeted his subordinates loudly, and said, "The collision test is ready to start, everyone is in place." ”

'Bang', the technical experts on the scene rushed to the control console, looking excited.

"Ahh

"Xu Suo, don't check it again! The experiment is very dangerous, if something goes wrong, the consequences will be very serious!"

"Yes, after all, we have no experience with this kind of experiment. ”

“……。 ”

The technical experts who walked into the operation room looked at Xu Shaobin with excitement and anxiety.

As if he had been splashed with cold water again and again, Xu Shaobin's face changed slightly, and he gradually became solemn.

The subordinates were all so 'respectful and cautious', and Xu Shaobin's heart couldn't help but rise.

At the request of Zhou Xing, according to the design drawings provided by him, Xingyao Group spared no expense, lasted two years and three months, and built the most advanced and complex particle collider in the world today.

Its purpose is to test experimental instruments, explore the macroscopic effects of microscopic particles, understand new laws and new particles of quantum particles, understand new physics, and explore the characteristics and structure of particles,,...... And so on, find out why quantum transitions, particle disorder jumps change position.

As early as the sixties and seventies of the last century, Europe, the United States and Western countries, which were relatively in-depth in basic scientific research, began to build particle colliders to explore microscopic particles.

Large particle collider, a single beam of particle flow energy up to 7 trillion electron volts, head-on impact will produce huge energy, the instant heat is 100,000 times hotter than the sun, the four impact points inside the collider are equipped with highly accurate detectors, when the impact occurs, the computer will record the data of the big bang and the various substances produced, which is extremely important for the analysis of the shape of microscopic particles.

The risks of this kind of experiment are very high, and China is seriously lagging behind Western countries in the field of basic science, and many of the technical experts present are still conducting particle collision experiments for the first time, and they are excited and nervous, like 'rookies' who have just left the campus, with no experience and no self-confidence.

Xu Shaobin looked at Zhou Xing and proposed: "Mr. Zhou, for the sake of safety, why don't we check it again......?" ”

Zhou Xing gave him a strange look and interrupted: "Don't waste time, let's start the experiment quickly!"

Hearing this, Xu Shaobin immediately held back what Xiang was about to say.

"Mr. Zhou, the construction time of our collider is too short, if you don't check it carefully, I'm afraid there will be mistakes!"

"Mr. Zhou! Generally, the construction time of the particle collider is ten years, but this one only took two years and three months, and the length and complexity are more than the most complex colliders today, so we need to check carefully!"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, if something goes wrong, the consequences are very serious, let's slow down the collision experiment!"

“……。 ”

Seeing that Xu Shaobin's suggestion was rejected by Zhou Xing, dozens of experts and professors present couldn't help but express their support.

Before the particle collider was built, the world's most complex particle collider was completed by 40 countries, costing $40 billion, and it took 15 years to complete, even if it was put into experiments, it would be two years later.

However, with the help of laser drilling machines, engineering robots, and powerful computing and coordination forces, Xingyao Group has built a particle collider with performance far exceeding that of cooperative manufacturing of various countries in two years, and after that, it will take two or three months of testing and verification to be put into experiments.

This kind of terrifying efficiency made many experts and professors present full of uneasiness about this particle collision experiment.

Listening to everyone's words, Zhou Xing was slightly stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly,

Zhou Xing looked at everyone and said with a smile: "You have been with me for so long, when have you ever seen me 'venture' in the field of scientific research?"

Hearing this, everyone glanced at each other, speechless, Zhou Xing's rigorous attitude towards scientific research, I am afraid that all of them together cannot be compared.

Xu Shaobin's old face turned red, and he urged this group of subordinates who made him embarrassed and said: "What are you doing in a daze! Hurry up and prepare for the test." ”

Everyone suddenly came back to their senses, like birds scattered, and they got busy.

Looking at the busy figures of his subordinates, Zhou Xing shook his head and smiled, with a slightly tired smile on his face.

With the help of the Void Space attached to the Great Scientist Assistance System: the Microparticle Environmental Reaction Chamber, the Virtual Laboratory, the Virtual Library, and the Virtual Props: The Mirror of True Knowledge, the Atom Conversion Instrument, Zhou Xing devoted himself wholeheartedly to the research in the field of microscopic particles, trying to find the technology to create a 'space-time wormhole'.

The direction of creating a 'space-time wormhole' can be considered by the quantum transition phenomenon, where particles 'instantaneously jump' to produce a 'wormhole'.

However, in order to extend the time for the 'wormhole' to be opened, expand the diameter of the 'wormhole', and locate the direction of the 'space-time wormhole' link, all of them are problems to be solved, and many difficulties form an 'impregnable' wall.

"Mr. Zhou, everything is ready to start. Xu Shaobin looked at Zhou Xing and asked excitedly.

"Then let's get started! You command. Zhou Xing came back from his contemplation and nodded at him.

"Understood!" Xu Shaobin nodded in response, then turned his head to look at everyone and announced loudly: "Start the particle accelerator, start the magnetic generator, start the laser cooler,......。 ”

With Xu Shaobin's order, all the technical experts in the laboratory performed their duties and became busy.

The working principle of the particle collider: accumulate and accelerate the flow of two particles injected by the pre-accelerator in succession, and make them collide when they reach a certain strength and energy to produce a sufficiently high reaction energy...... In order to obtain the data that the particles in the quantum jump open the 'wormhole', the proton collision experiment is now being carried out.

With the help of laser drillers, engineering robots, and the overall computing power of Zhou Xiaozhi, this particle collider is manufactured at a distance of 100 kilometers, with a two-ring structure, plus extreme vacuum tubes, and extremely low temperature light cooling,...... and other technologies, so that the particle pipeline will be maintained at an extreme low temperature of -271 °C, this temperature will appear superconductivity, so that the particle beam in the pipe almost no resistance, to close to the speed of light.

The energy required for the particle collider is continuously supplied by the nuclear fusion power station above, and various devices are started in succession.

Soon, the energy gathering effect of the particle collider was intensifying, and the sound of "buzzing" was heard.

"Let go of the particle beam. Xu Shaobin ordered loudly.

Upon hearing the order, the technician at the console should press the release button.

A loud "poof" sound emanated from inside the particle pipe.

In the laboratory, everyone was shocked and looked at the monitoring screen.

A model of a green 3D particle collider, with data flickering and particle beams accelerating in the pipe.

"Mr. Zhou, the proton beam accumulation is close to the peak, is it starting to collide?" Xu Shaobin looked at Zhou Xing and asked excitedly.

Zhou Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Since it has started, there is no reason to stop, let's collide!"

Xu Shaobin nodded heavily, took a deep breath, and ordered loudly: "Everyone is ready, rush" enters the countdown: 9, 8, 7, 6,......。 ”

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed, and they all stared at the monitoring screen in front of them, waiting for them.

There was a loud "boom", and suddenly it came out of the metal pipe.

"Data, record data quickly!" Xu Shaobin's face flushed, and he ordered everyone excitedly.

"It's successful, the data is out, it's all recorded, you look at this!"

"Xu Suo, the collider is in good condition!"

"It's too good to believe that it only took us two years to do it. ”

“……。 ”

As soon as Xu Shaobin's voice fell, the laboratory sounded one after another reports, and the experts and professors cheered with joyful smiles on their faces.

"Boss, no data has been collected related to the 'wormhole'. Zhou Xiaozhi, who was standing beside Zhou Xing, reported to Zhou Xing in a low voice.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing nodded, his expression a little regretful.

"Mr. Zhou, we succeeded, and we got a lot of useful data. Xu Shaobin looked at Zhou Xing and reported in ecstasy.

Zhou Xing nodded and smiled, and ordered: "Organize the data, select the appropriate data and release it to the outside world!"

"Understood, should we experiment a few more times and get more data to verify?" Xu Shaobin looked at Zhou Xing and asked cautiously.

Zhou Xing thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, you can look at the arrangement!"

The experiment has been successful! Why does Mr. Zhou look unhappy?

Xu Shaobin glanced at Zhou Xing strangely, and nodded in response: "Understood! Mr. Zhou." ”

The joy of the success of the particle collision experiment made Xu Shaobin throw away this puzzle and happily walked to his subordinates to discuss the next experiment with them.

Looking at everyone's excited appearance, Zhou Xing sighed helplessly, the failure of the experiment meant that the technology of 'space-time wormhole' could not be completed within the mission period.

"Boss, don't be discouraged! If the space laboratory can be established, we can carry out more 'dangerous' experiments, and we will soon have a reward. Seeing that Zhou Xing's expression was a little gloomy, Zhou Xiaozhi hurriedly reassured.

Zhou Xing whispered: "Xiaozhi, the 'space-time wormhole' has not been built, and I am afraid that the mission will fail." ”

Zhou Xiaozhi came out of the virtual laboratory and knew about the 'Great Scientist Assistance System', but it was also unable to calculate the origin of the 'system'.

"No! Boss, you have done a good job! The gross output value of human society is ten times that of 15 years ago, energy, health, financial environment, political structure, ,...... , many aspects have made leaps and bounds. Zhou Xiaozhi comforted Zhou Xingdao.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing was a little relieved, yes, he shouldn't fail, he has done his best, if he really fails, then there is really nothing to say.

Zhou Xiaozhi whispered in his ear: "Boss, you can ask about it! If you can hand in the task in advance, it should be completed." ”

"Well, I'll try!" Zhou Xing frowned and nodded.

Zhou Xing's eyes closed, and then the voice of the system sounded in his head.

"The 15-year task period is over, the main quest: the civilization of the leap, the task completion conditions: research and development of one, one or more practical technologies and theoretical articles that affect the SS level or above, and promote a significant increase in human civilization, the task period: 15 years, the task reward: a colorful treasure chest, a nine-palace roulette lottery, and the task failure penalty: 50% of the impact target will be deducted. ”

"Mission Completion: Flying Car, Photonic Computer, Biological 3D Printer, Life-Extending Gene Agent, Controlled Nuclear Fusion, 'Star Glory',...... , the target of the impact: the collective improvement of the lifespan body, the change of transportation mode, the change of energy application mode, and the entry into the primary galaxy civilization,...... , Statistical summary, Civilization increased to: Planetary Civilization (Intermediate), Mission Evaluation: SS+. ”

"Congratulations to the host, you have completed the main quest: Leaping Civilization, and you will get the task rewards: a colorful treasure chest, and a nine-palace roulette draw. ”
