The room of Cao and I is located in the bottom compartment of the research ship, and there is a small porthole, but perhaps because I have carried out too many tasks and been to too many places with harsh environments, the round window frame of the porthole is seriously corroded, and the double glass is attached to this thick layer of salt and alkali, and the light is much weaker during the day, and now it is even darker outside. Coupled with the regular shaking of the hull, we need to concentrate on fighting sleepiness and fatigue, and we almost lose the concept of time.

"Lao Cao, Huansheng told you about the general situation, I won't say much about the experimental process, you just need to remember that the Philadelphia experiment is said to have succeeded in making the destroyer Eldridge disappear out of thin air in front of the Philadelphia docks. And almost at the same time, the ship appeared at Norfolk Pier, more than four hundred miles away. ”

The experimenter used two giant magnetic coils, and when electrified, the entire destroyer was in a special magnetic field, which reversed space-time, which should be the manifestation of Einstein's unified field theory. It's just that this magnetic field is not very stable, which led to a series of bizarre events after the experiment, such as the inexplicable stealth of the crew on the ship, and the inexplicable appearance, such as many crew members have depression, irritable tendencies, skin ulcers, serious damage to internal organs, many people committed suicide in agony, and the host of the experiment was mysteriously murdered, etc., these accidents finally made the government terminate the experiment, and also sealed all the research reports. ”

"The Philadelphia experiment is believed by many to be the United States' research on technology to make ships invisible by changing the magnetic field around them and distorting light. However, the experiment took place in October 1943, and I doubt that it was necessary for the US government at that time to do this research that was so advanced at the critical moment of World War II that it could not be immediately put into the war? Of course, the teleportation technology that Huansheng said met the needs of the US military at that time, but the problem was how to control this magnetic field to make the object reach exactly where it was going by creating an artificial magnetic field? I think that 50 years ago, when there were no large-scale electronic computers, this could not have been realized at all. ”

"Well, it's likely that this experiment is a fiction, a fake news fabricated by unscrupulous tabloids in order to increase newspaper sales. How could something that can't be verified by itself have anything to do with the Eastern Star?" Team Cao yawned and picked up his teacup again, I knew he must be complaining at this moment that I had dragged the discussion about the incident of the Eastern Star to the other side of the ocean fifty years ago.

He must have listened to Liao Huansheng when he was chatting after tea and dinner, but when he was listening to the anecdote, he didn't really care, so he didn't figure out the deep meaning of my words now.

"Team Cao, in a book about the Philadelphia experiment, I read about what happened to the sailors of the Eldridge back then, and someone once saw that the sailors would also emit a pale yellow light on their bodies before they inexplicably became invisible, like a golden circle of light on their bodies. Isn't this similar to the dream that the boat boss told Wang Huzi?"

"It's just a coincidence, although the ship boss can't know about the Philadelphia experiment, but the things in the dream can't be used as evidence, right? And people will imagine a circle of light for the gods who are feared in their hearts, in order to distinguish the difference between mortals and gods, our Buddhas, as well as Western gods and Jesus, don't they all have an aperture behind them?"

I smiled at Team Cao, ignored his snort, and continued, "Then let's go back and look at the Philadelphia experiment. There is a mainstream theory that the Philadelphia experiment is related to Einstein's unified field theory, which is actually to verify the possibility of electromagnetic space-time bending. Because very simply, in four or three years, Einstein joined the U.S. Department of the Navy, and then chose the Eldridge as a test subject. ”

"Okay, let's look at this experiment from another angle, Team Cao, that experiment ship relied on its own electricity to drive a huge coil to achieve the effect of recreating the magnetic field. And this new magnetic field must have a huge amount of energy to produce light distortions, which in turn create the stealth of the ship. But how much energy does it take to teleport this multi-thousand-ton behemoth hundreds of miles away?"

"But the question is, can the generators on the Eldridge alone generate enough electrical energy to create a new magnetic field? Obviously impossible, so what kind of energy source? Don't forget, Einstein was also the founder of the theory of atomic energy, and although we don't have any evidence that the Philadelphia experiment used nuclear energy, there was an important person who appeared in the experimental team, and that person was Oppenheimer, the father of the American atomic bomb. ”

Einstein and Oppenheimer were both German-Jew, with very similar family backgrounds and the same theoretical understanding, and many scholars believe that Einstein completed the theoretical conception of the atomic bomb, and Oppenheimer turned this theory into reality. ”

The American atomic bomb experiment was called the Manhattan Project, Einstein was the original designer of this project, and later at his recommendation, Oppenheimer, who was unknown at the time, became the head of the project and the chief scientist, and finally the name was forever equated with nuclear weapons. ”

"But note that after the Philadelphia experiment, Einstein left the Admiralty. It stands to reason that the Philadelphia experiment should not be regarded as a failed experiment, after all, the ship achieved stealth and displacement, achieved the intended purpose of the experiment, and achieved phased results, and should be further studied and improved. I think that the fact that all the crew members of the ship later died of nuclear radiation was the real reason for Einstein's departure. ”

After Einstein left, he began to resolutely oppose the US nuclear bomb program, even if he was the initiator of this project, even if the current person in charge of this project was recommended by him. ”

Perhaps because he had witnessed the enormous harm that nuclear weapons had done to humanity, or perhaps because he had demonstrated the possibility of instantaneous displacement technology threatening the course of human history, he became a staunch anti-nuclear activist. ”

Two years later, with the rise of the mushroom clouds of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Oppenheimer followed in Einstein's footsteps and resolutely abandoned nuclear weapons research, albeit to a more tragic end. ”

"Chang, what do you mean is that the Philadelphia experiment in the United States used nuclear energy to create a new magnetic field and achieve the stealth displacement of objects, but because the sailors were exposed to radiation, a large number of them died. The phenomenon of the Eastern Star disappearing in the fog, just like what happened to the Eldridge back then, was also due to some kind of secret experiment related to nuclear energy, and an accident occurred?"

Team Cao scratched his head, but quickly shook his head again, and continued to analyze in a firm tone: "No, Lao Chang, this reasoning can't stand scrutiny, you think, if the crew on the Dongxing died because of nuclear radiation, then why are there no corpses? And the nuclear radiation is not immediately killed, even if there is a displacement, the signal is blocked and interrupted, the crew can always continue to contact the base after the Dongxing appears." ”

"Also, why is it that only the boss of the fishing boat was contaminated by nuclear weapons, and he did not board the Dongxing, but the three people who went up did not have anything to do? The most important thing is, why did the Dongxing appear in the mirage, and Lu Binglin could still deduce the location of the Dongxing? The mirage has existed since ancient times, and it is impossible that someone used nuclear energy in ancient times to create an abnormal magnetic field, right?"

Team Cao asked a long list of questions in one breath, forgetting to drink tea, forgetting to smoke, although his fingers kept subconsciously tapping on the railing next to the bed, but I could still read endless doubts in his eyes.

"You've asked so many questions, if I can answer them all, then we don't have to go to the place where the accident happened. As before, I'll ask you a few questions, and then use a future investigation to verify it, how about it?"

Team Cao put down the ashtray he had been holding in his hand, nodded, and made a gesture of deafness.

"First, what happened to the Mirage chasers who first arrived at Devil's City and set up camp during that desert expedition, and why did they go missing? Why did Lu Binglin later give up further search and rescue? Is it just because of the orders from above? How can he do the work of the troops and cooperate with the actions of the scientific expedition team? Don't you think that platoon commander Zhao knows a lot of inside information? Don't you think that the disappearance of the mirage is very similar to the disappearance of the crew of the East Star? This may be the real reason for the reactivation of Lu Binglin. ”

"Second, why is there such a big difference between Wang Huzi and Ding Jian's descriptions? We can't be sure that what either person said is a lie, and the only thing that can make the two people's statements clear is the dream words of the boat boss? There can only be one explanation for this, the dream is not necessarily illusory, and the reality is not necessarily so real. ”

"Third, why did Ding Jian hide the sketches on the last few pages of the logbook? Those sketches were drawn with charcoal strips, what does this mean? Team Cao, in fact, since getting on the scientific research ship, there have been a lot of strange things like this, and the key is whether we are willing to face it and think about it more. ”

Team Cao rubbed his temples and muttered "charcoal, charcoal" in his mouth, my question obviously made him more nerve-wracking. Suddenly, as if he realized something, he stood up suddenly, and he didn't know that his head touched the bed frame, and exclaimed: "God, is this so? This is impossible!"

After a moment of pause, he finally muttered something again in disbelief, as small as if we were separating the entire research ship. But I know what he said was, "The old people in the old place are not me, and the dreams in the other world are true." "This was the last thing I heard with Team Cao at his bedside before my father died.
