134, the arrow of time
The next day, early in the morning.
Ding Sheng received a call from Meng Xiao, who said that she had returned from her hometown in the countryside and could officially go to the finance department of Space-Time Technology Company for an internship.
"Recently, Uncle Meng's health is okay?"
Regarding Ju's concern, Ding Sheng has actually been very concerned about Meng Jianzhong's physical condition, and since Zhang Shaoxu's death, he has paid even more attention.
But a month and a half ago, that connection was severed.
At that time, the Meng family's small building was successfully demolished.
A doctor suggested that Meng's father should choose a place with a beautiful environment to recuperate, Meng's mother and Meng Xiao meant to go abroad, but Meng's father disagreed.
What he meant was that there was a vacant old house left by Grandpa Meng Xiao in the countryside, although it was already dilapidated, but after spending some money to renovate, it was perfect for recuperation.
According to the doctor, it is a miracle that Meng Jianzhong can live until now, one more day of life will earn one day, and there is a high probability that going abroad is a guest death, and returning to the place where he lived in his childhood is to return to his roots.
Compared with the two, the mother and daughter of the Meng family compromised.
Meng Jianzhong went back to the countryside, not to mention that there were no cameras in the village, not even a decent smartphone, so Guan Ju couldn't pay attention to Meng Jianzhong's situation at all times.
It was also from then on that Ding Sheng wanted to know the news of Meng Jianzhong's illness from Meng Xiao's mouth.
"It's good, he is much happier when he returns to the village. Meng Xiao replied.
"That's good. ”
The most taboo thing about cancer is the collapse of the mentality, as long as it is stable, hope is ahead.
Through the technical cooperation with Iris Group, Ding Sheng learned that the other party has conducted in-depth experiments on "3D bioprinting technology".
With the support of its own nano-biomimetic composite biomaterials, once nanotechnology and biotechnology are perfectly integrated, it will definitely not be difficult to print human organs in the future that can be seen by the naked eye.
As long as Meng Jianzhong can survive until that time, he will inevitably be able to renew his life by replacing organs or something.
If you hold on, it might be a miracle.
As for why he waited, it is not that Ding Sheng is unwilling to contribute directly.
Although biotechnology and nanotechnology are not his shortcomings, organ printing is absolutely.
Not to mention that it involves things like going to the operating table to change organs.
Since now relying on adjusting the dilution of Super Serum 20 can temporarily allow Meng Jianzhong to continue his life, without the certainty of 100, Ding Sheng will not act rashly.
There are many examples of good intentions doing bad things.
"Don't worry, for the sake of my father's life, if there is any change in his condition, I will not hide it from you. For now, let's talk about the finance department. ”
The topic of birth, old age, sickness and death is always heavy, and Meng Xiao took the initiative to transition the conversation to work.
"As for the office, Feng Shi has already arranged it for you, you can just go over directly. ”
Ding Sheng has a lot of things in his hands, and most of the time he has to stay in the new base and it is difficult to get out.
"As for some financial questions, if there is anything you don't understand, you can always call the company's operating officer, Mr. Guan. ”
In this way, it is arranged for the time being.
——
On the other side of the neighboring county, Catherine invited her college classmate to breakfast.
Colonel John was still standing by the side, he had naturally heard of the name Noah Ellington, and last night he overlapped the name with the real person.
But if you remember correctly, this Mr. Ellington is not an American, and the Lingxiao Group is not an American company, so no matter how personal he has with Catherine, Colonel John thinks that it is necessary to guard against people.
"I'm relieved to see you're okay and look forward to our next meeting. After breakfast, Noah stood up and gave a farewell salute.
"I thought you'd stay a few more days. ”
In addition to being classmates, Noah also served as Catherine's angel investor in some "absurd" scientific research projects that the US government is unwilling to invest in, which is the main reason why the two meet once or twice a year.
Catherine, of course, was willing to take a little of the landlord's friendship if necessary.
Even if she's just an outsider in a neighboring state.
"The group still has some things to deal with, and I have to rush back. Noah's gaze paused for a few seconds on Catherine before he added, "So, I'm sorry. ”
"Why be sorry. Catherine was puzzled.
"Then don't talk about that" Noah smiled faintly and looked sideways at Colonel John, "Catherine is a treasure gifted to this world by God, I hope you can really take care of her." ”
"Don't bother Mr. Ellington. ”
With the intuition of a soldier, Colonel John always felt that there was an indescribable strangeness about the young man in front of him.
But I can't say what is strange.
24 hours later.
Ellington Manor, Bristol, England.
"Sir, your guest has arrived. An old butler, who was very well-mannered, knocked on Noah's door.
"Okay, I'll be right over. ”
Noah went out in front, the old butler followed, and the two came downstairs together.
On the sofa in the hall, the two oriental faces were drinking tea, and when they saw the owner of the manor, they both got up politely, "Hello, Mr. Ellington." ”
"Mr. Miyamoto, I haven't seen you for a long time, I guess this is Mr. Lu. ”
After Noah asked the two to sit down, his eyes stayed on Miyamoto Ichizo's face for a moment, and then turned to the young man beside him, the super hacker who became famous and more famous in a fight some time ago, Lu Shangxingzhou, Lu Hao.
"I don't think there's any need to say anything more about the pleasantries, Mr. Ellington, we've brought what you need. After Miyamoto Ichizo finished speaking, he took out a delicate customized USB flash drive from his arms and put it on the white jade coffee table.
"Mr. Miyamoto, you can rest assured, I am the most honest person, and I have prepared what you want. ”
Noah's words fell, and the old butler behind him turned around and went to the next room, and pushed out an instrument, Miyamoto Ichizo saw it, and couldn't help but get up and lean in.
Reaching out and pulling up the USB flash drive and inserting it into the laptop, a silver arrow appeared on the computer page with a few clicks.
Underneath the long arrow is the document's code name, "Arrow of Time", classified as Top Secret.
In order to allow the "Land Boat" to smoothly enter the classified archives of the United States and obtain this document, Noah even did not hesitate to kidnap his old classmates.
Of course, by the way, Catherine solved the quantum equation under high pressure, and he definitely wouldn't tell outsiders.
Over there, Miyamoto Ichizo successfully inspected the goods, and the transaction between the two sides was successfully concluded.
Having said that, at the level of these two people, there is really no need to do anything about this kind of transaction.
Whether it is Noah and the Lingxiao Group, or Miyamoto Ichizo and the Miyamoto Group, they have always been in the water and do not violate the river water, and in the absence of absolute necessity, they still have to give each other's face.
Even if Miyamoto Ichizo personally rejected the invitation of the Flower Group back then, Noah was not annoyed at all, after all, he did not personally invite him, it should be George's face.
If George were here today, he would probably be on a par with Miyamoto Ichizo.
After a few polite words, Miyamoto Ichizo and Lu Hao prepared to leave with their instruments.
"Please stay, two of you. ”
At this moment, Noah got up and left behind.
"Is there anything else going on with Mr. Ellington?" said Miyamoto Kazuzo alertly, after all, this is the Ellington family's territory, so it's better to be careful.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just curious, Mr. Lu entered the US secret archives this time, is there a secret about aliens in Area 51 true or false?" Noah asked with a smile.
depend on
If you want to ask, just ask directly, what are you doing so shocking?
"Fake. ”
Spit out these two words, Lu Hao and Miyamoto Ichizo went out of the door, put the instrument into the trunk of the off-road vehicle, started the accelerator and galloped away, which can be regarded as officially leaving Ellington Manor.
"Mr. Miyamoto, why do we take such a big risk to change this 'life cultivator'?" Although Lu Hao had seen a lot of big scenes, and even had multiple personalities in his head, he still had some palpitations when he thought of the scene just now.
The feeling of being held in the hands of others is too uncomfortable, since it is a transaction, why not Noah Ellington to come to Huaxia, or go to Yamato?
And in order to get the bargaining chips for this transaction, Lu Hao invaded the confidential archives of the United States, even if he did not leave a trace, as long as Noah Ellington was a little careless and leaked the documents, once Lao Mei could react, the identity of the "land boat" that he had worked hard for many years would be considered invalid.
If you don't know the real person, you have to expose it.
If the cooperation with Miyamoto is not smooth, it is a typical fox who is not caught, but provokes a commotion.
"Lu Hao, you have to focus on the things in front of you, don't think too much, the future that the 'Nuwa Project' focuses on has nothing to do with Huaxia, Yamato or any country or region in the world, this is the process of all mankind. ”
Miyamoto Ichizo saw Lu Hao's emotions, after all, he was just a young man less than twenty years old, and his unstable mentality was understandable, so he could guide it well.
"Now that you're a third of the way through your advanced brain-like architecture, we have to start working on the next step. You have also seen the new product launch conference of Space-Time Technology, and Ding Sheng really does not have the ability to continue to upgrade the ultra-new artificial skin that meets our requirements. Therefore, we can only make a deal with Ellington, and only the Life Cultivator of the Lingxiao Group can cultivate the completed cloned skin. ”
After Miyamoto and Lu Hao left, Noah began to read the confidential document from the United States in detail.
"Time Arrow, I've finally found you. ”
In Noah's knowledge system, the fragrant tea is getting cold, the old house is crumbling, the lenses are shattering, and the stars are extinguished, all because of quantum effects.
As early as 1927, the famous astronomer and philosopher Sir Arthur Eddington described the gradual dissipation of this quantum effect of energy as an "arrow of time" that runs through our eyes and never returns.
The arrow of time does not appear to be a natural consequence of the fundamental laws of physics, because at the level of the fundamental laws, physics is inverted by time.
According to these laws, if you can trace the path of all the particles in the universe, then it seems that by simply reversing their motion, the energy will change from dissipation to accumulation, so that the cold tea will be warmed up, the vast building will be reborn, the broken mirror will be reunited, and the starlight will reappear.
Noah Ellington realized many years ago that quantum uncertainty and the constant diffusion of this uncertainty in the process of particle entanglement could replace the uncertainty derived from observation in the classical physical proof process, thus forming the arrow of time.
In short, it is to use quantum technology to control time.
In 2006, while still studying at Caltech, Noah Ellington proposed the "Arrow of Time Project", hoping to gather the world's best quantum team to conduct detailed research on this plan.
The results are also obvious.
Unless it is in a science fiction movie, such a thing as controlling time is simply nonsense, so this plan was directly rejected by the authorities in the field and the US government at the time on the grounds of crankiness and fantasy.
Before the battleship set sail, it ran aground.
It wasn't until 2010 that another peerless genius, Catherine Oxton, put the "arrow of time" on the table again after detailed arguments, and this time the US government and scientists did not ridicule the future science superstar, but fully supported it.
Since then, until Catherine was invited to China by Academician Williams, she led a top quantum team specializing in the "Arrow of Time".
And the information that Noah has in his hand now is the result of Catherine's team for more than a year.
"Sir, why don't you rest for a while and then study this document. ”
Noah looked at this research material and unconsciously fell into it, if it wasn't for the fact that it was late at night, the old butler really didn't dare to come and disturb him.
"I had to build on Catherine's foundation and refine the research thoroughly. Noah shook his head, not wanting to rest.
"But," said the old butler, Abu, stopped talking.
"No, for my plan to succeed, time and space are indispensable. In terms of space, as long as the American equipment arrives in the neighboring state, Catherine will soon be able to complete the solution of the quantum equation and prove the existence of the multiverse.
Noah said this, his eyes full of longing.
"But in terms of time, it's really up to me. ”
"Not even Dr. Oxton? You have said more than once that she is a rare genius in the history of mankind. The old butler asked.
"Abu, how old are you?" asked Noah, putting down the papers in his hand and sitting up straight.
"Seventy-one. ”
"Do you remember when I adopted you?" asked Noah again.
"Remember, that was sixty-four years ago"
Noah said this, his eyes full of longing.
"But in terms of time, it's really up to me. ”
"Not even Dr. Oxton? You have said more than once that she is a rare genius in the history of mankind. The old butler asked.
"Abu, how old are you?" asked Noah, putting down the papers in his hand and sitting up straight.
"Seventy-one. ”
"Do you remember when I adopted you?" asked Noah again.
"Remember, that was sixty-four years ago"
