The Qilian Mountains, a mountain valley that is not visible on the map. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This mountain range in northwest China was originally the "Tianshan Mountain" of the Huns in ancient times, and has always been the territory of fierce beasts and eagles.

But before the tenth moon, the happy life of the mountain kings here was shattered, because some creatures who walked only on two limbs came here.

As soon as these creatures arrived, they set out to expel the indigenous people here, and the beasts of the mountains had a vague idea of the power of these self-proclaimed "human" creatures from the information passed down from their genes. But there was no greater shame in their minds than the seizure of their habitat, so the beasts organized several righteous struggles against the invaders before they were beaten and fled.

Of course, there is no powerful weapon against humanity.

In the past few months, the scale of this mountain base has continued to expand at an alarming rate, with new combat units and engineering units constantly stationed, helicopter gunships taking off and landing patrols around the clock, and troops conducting military exercises on the outskirts of the mountainous areas. For a moment, it was isolated by the powerful state apparatus.

On this day, the supreme commander of the base led the personnel of the base to prepare for the incoming scientific researchers. Half an hour earlier, he had just been informed that it had been built as an experimental base and that an important scientific experiment was about to take place. Because his duty is only to be responsible for security, but he has no right to participate in the construction of the base, so he did not know the purpose of the construction of the base before. He only knew one thing: all affairs here were handled by the Central Military Commission directly from Yanjing.

With such strict secrecy measures, the temporary construction of a base in the deep mountains would not be an ordinary experiment.

The roar of helicopters could be heard in the distance, and the commander looked up, and a dozen heavy helicopters appeared in the sky in the distance, speeding towards it. There was a rumbling sound in the sky, presumably the escorting fighter jets were speeding by. The test was extremely secretive, and even the commander himself did not know the exact details of the experiment so far. He is a real professional soldier, and he doesn't think much about it, but resolutely carries out the orders of his superiors.

After a while, helicopters landed on the tarmac of the base one after another, and the fighters who were carrying out escort missions at high altitude also returned one after another. The helicopter hatch opened, and the scientists on board left the plane one after another. Seeing this, the commander also brought his subordinates over to greet the scientific researchers, preparing for the handover.

But to the commander's surprise, it was a young man in his twenties who came out to hand him over, and the scientists around him seemed to take this for granted. He only knew that the person in charge of this experiment was named Zhang Qi, and he didn't know anything else, but he didn't want to be so young.

This young man was full of confidence, tall, handsome and extraordinary, and his demeanor and temperament all reflected the eight words of youthful ambition and spring breeze, and he stretched out his hand from afar to shake hands with the commander.

It is amazing to be in charge of a national highest-level scientific research team at such a young age!

It is important to know that even in the modern world, seniority is one of the important factors in determining status in a group. Such a young and high administrative level is rare in all countries. At the same time, as soon as he moved, four people immediately followed him, and he must be the best in the army. Not many people enjoy such a high level of protection.

That wasn't something he should have guessed though. With this in mind, the commander first raised his hand in a meticulous salute before shaking hands with the young man.

"Hello, Dr. Zhang, I am Wang Hongbing, the commander of the 89237 Base Guard Regiment, and I am responsible for assisting you in carrying out the experiment. ”

"Hello Head Wang, I'm Zhang Qi, I'm the person in charge of this experiment, and I'm going to trouble you for the next period of time. After the young man named Zhang Qi shook hands with him, Si Swen said to Wang Hongbing.

Wang Hongbing received instructions before greeting Zhang Qi and his party, asking him to assist the scientific researchers in launching experiments as soon as possible. Therefore, after meeting and greeting Zhang Qi, I asked Zhang Qi if he wanted to see the preparation of the experiment.

Zhang Qi immediately agreed, saying that he had this intention, and further suggested that it would be better to go straight to the experimental facility now.

Although Wang Hongbing proposed to let Zhang Qi go to see the preparations as soon as possible, he didn't expect him to be so eager that he would go straight to the experimental site immediately, but after thinking about it, the scientist Ma 1 consciously understood his eagerness and said, "Okay, then let's go now." ”

Wang Hongbing is also a resolute person, since he said that he wanted to go to see it now, he immediately took his adjutant and Zhang Qi and his several protection personnel to drive to the installation of the facility.

The two didn't talk much that day, Zhang Qi was obviously a little excited when he saw the facilities, and he just looked at the facilities, and unconsciously left Wang Hongbing and the others aside. And Wang Hongbing and others are also happy to be quiet, this mission, no information has been disclosed in advance, and the relevant matters are directly controlled by the Central Military Commission, which is obviously unusual. Asking for details of such a mission is obviously irresponsible for their own political future, and even if Zhang Qi takes the initiative to inform them, they may have to try to refuse. Anyway, sooner or later, the base will hold a "briefing", and they will definitely know what they should know, but sooner or later.

After Zhang Qi took a closer look at the facilities, it was not too early. He arrived in this remote mountainous area by helicopter after a long flight, and immediately after landing, he came to check the experimental facilities non-stop, and the whole person was really tired. At the same time, the wartime management system is implemented here, and there is no appetite for food. After confessing to Wang Hongbing and others, he went back to his accommodation to rest.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

On this day, Wang Hongbing received a notice: "The experiment is about to be carried out, and a 'briefing' will be held tonight." ”

That night, when he arrived at the conference room on time and looked at the rostrum, he couldn't help but be surprised: there were four people on the small rostrum at the moment, except for Zhang Qi, the other three were all hanging stars. It must be known that this is just a "briefing meeting", and even the "briefing" is done by such a high-level person, I really don't know what kind of attention it will attract during the formal experiment.

The few people sitting on the rostrum seemed to be discussing something at the moment, and after a while, it seemed that the discussion was in place. The old man sitting in the middle cleared his throat and said, "Comrades, these days, everyone has only been engaged in construction, and I am afraid that they still don't know much about some related matters of this experimental base. Tonight, we will hold this meeting, mainly to introduce the basic situation of this experiment to you, so that everyone has a number in their hearts. ”

After speaking, he turned his head and whispered a few words to the rest of the people on the side, and continued: "I won't say much gossip, sitting next to me is the general person in charge of this experiment, Dr. Zhang Qizhang, and next, he will introduce this experiment to everyone. ”

Zhang Qi continued, "Good evening, everyone, before introducing the experiment, I would like to introduce you to a concept - absolute zero. ”

After saying this, he seemed a little excited, reached out and loosened the neckline, and then continued: "Absolute zero is the lowest temperature in thermodynamic theory. According to established scientific research: the greater the kinetic energy of a particle, the higher its temperature. Conversely, the lower the temperature of the particle, the less kinetic energy it will have. When the temperature of a particle reaches 'absolute zero', its motion stops. ”

As he said this, his eyes began to sharpen, staring closely at the room full of army elites in front of him. "You may not quite understand what it is like for a particle to stop moving," he said, raising a hand and making a downward gesture to enhance his persuasiveness, "I will give you an inappropriate analogy: you can understand that in this state, everything is frozen, everything is stagnant, even if it is time. ”

When everyone heard this, they were shocked, and they didn't expect that they would hear such a "science fiction plot". However, most of the people present were military personnel, and it had almost become instinct to abide by discipline, and the three generals on the stage were pressing, so although everyone at the scene was shocked, they still sat upright and continued to listen to the speeches of the young people on the stage.

Zhang Qi paused for a moment, giving everyone in the audience a little time to digest the news. Although I only introduced "absolute zero", no one is stupid, and when I said this, everyone has already understood that this experiment must be related to this "absolute zero".

The ability to interfere with time is too terrifying!

Zhang Qi looked a little excited at this time, a blush appeared on his face, calmed down, licked his lips, and continued: "Although 'absolute zero' is a very attractive state, as far as the previous known research goes, this state only exists in theory until our research makes a breakthrough. ”

Wang Hongbing sat in the audience, and his heart was also shocked. I didn't expect that I would be involved in such an event, and the whole person was dazed as if in a dream. He continued to listen to the speech of the young man on the stage, and finally understood why the young man was able to take charge of such a large scientific research team at such a young age.

He is a military man and likes to think about things from the military side. Hearing the characteristics of this state, he immediately thought: if this technology is used in defense, "freezing" the opponent's weapons before they take effect, then the entire war will be invincible. Even if it is expensive, it is a very good technology to defend against a surprise attack by nuclear weapons.

What's more, he tried his best to suppress the look he wanted to look at the stage: the three generals on the stage are not young anymore, and there are still many people like them in the whole country. Thinking of this, lest his mind be seen, he just continued to sit upright, looked down, and continued to listen to the speech on the stage.

Zhang Qi has already introduced the situation of this experiment by this time, to the effect that the team he led has made a breakthrough in this regard, and has theoretically proved that the "absolute zero" state can be artificially realized, and this experiment is carried out for this purpose.

Everyone was still very shocked at this time, but to be selected here, naturally all of them were innocent and upright in their political background, and these people's loyalty to the country naturally did not need to be doubted. When I heard that I could participate in such a project, most of them were very excited. Even those who think a little more like Wang Hongbing are determined to do their own work well and make the experiment go smoothly.

Zhang Qi couldn't help but be very satisfied when he saw everyone's shock. He was not a mere scholar, and his status and power were what he wanted. It is true that this technology can be used to defend against nuclear attacks, but a large part of the reason those people are willing to give him such support is that his technology can "touch" time.

The emperors and generals of the ancient times and the foreign scholars, who did not want to seek immortals and attain the Tao, could it be that the people of today do not want to? Jokes! Those high-ranking officials now will only pursue these things more, and he only needs to hint slightly, and the above immediately expresses their support for his research at any cost.

In addition, this technology was invented by him, and no one but him could continue to develop it, and they would not be afraid to unload the mill and kill the donkey. He was originally born in a civilian family, and if it weren't for his research talent, it would have been difficult for him to get the current treatment and power. In that case, it was imperative that this study be completed.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart, got up and opened his hand, and said to the people below in the posture of a preacher: "Ladies and gentlemen, once this technology is successfully developed, the ability of human beings to transform the material world will enter a new stage. Hopefully, we can work together to accomplish this feat. ”

At this time, the general sitting behind him also got up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I won't say much else. All of you are elites, and I believe everyone can understand the significance of this technology. Once it enters the practical stage, it will give our country an unassailable defense capability. Then he raised his voice and said solemnly: "Next, the Central Committee announced the order, and the Party Central Committee decided to study and decide to carry out the 'absolute zero' experiment on the xxth day of the xxxx year and the xxth month of the year. I hope that all the comrades on the scene will work together to create brilliant achievements. Order Signatory: xx. ”

Everyone got up, and after listening to the order, they all shouted loudly: "Yes!"

Soon, it was time for the experiment to begin.

Martial law was imposed on the entire base, a large number of troops gathered on the periphery, and all suspected approachers were directly eliminated.

Zhang Qi and several assistants were making final preparations, "Director, I'm ......" An assistant was about to speak and stopped. Zhang Qi looked back, smiled, and said gently, "Is there something wrong?" In fact, he knew in his heart that the assistant wanted to ask him if the experiment would be successful, and how sure he was. But no matter how you say this kind of thing, it's better to get results directly after a while. Naturally, they will believe in themselves. Of course, if they fail, they probably won't have a chance to ask themselves, and they probably don't understand the consequences of failing the experiment.

Zhang Qi is very powerful on weekdays, and he never allows others to put his beak, and his superiors always protect him for the sake of his strong research ability, and over time, no one dares to question him anymore. The researchers under him are all good at execution. The assistant who asked just now saw Zhang Qi's gentle attitude, but he couldn't ask even more, so he had to say, "No...... No, nothing. ”

Finally, it was time to officially start the experiment, and there was a row of generals sitting in the observation room, and the surrounding military bases activated all interference measures to prevent anyone from snooping on the experimental information.

In fact, the entire experiment was based on Zhang Qi's personal opinion. I have to say, he is a real genius. His theoretical level is even so high that even his assistants, who are also the country's top scientific researchers, find it difficult to understand. However, in the eyes of himself and the higher authorities, making results is the first priority. And Zhang Qi's scientific research level has never disappointed.

As the command to start the experiment was issued, numerous sub-orders were executed in an orderly manner. Judging from the news in the aggregate, the whole experiment is progressing steadily.

Zhang Qi did not go to the front line, but waited with the generals for the success of the staged experiment. The experiment is divided into two phases: "creation" and "control". The "Creation" phase has been simulated countless times, and there is little chance of failure. The "control" stage is when Zhang Qi personally stepped in.

"Report, the 'Create' experiment has been successful. "A soldier pushed the door in and reported.

The generals exchanged glances with each other, and finally one of them stepped forward and said to Zhang Qi, who was thinking with his eyes closed, "Then, Dr. Zhang, I'll trouble you." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Qi stood up and said to the group of people in front of him, "Please rest assured. With that, he followed the guide to the operation office.

Zhang Qi has never failed in the past, and all the projects he has led have been great successes. Therefore, the generals were not too worried about the success or failure of the experiment. Zhang Qi's past experience is the source of their confidence, and even the laws of science in the past have just been overthrown by him? In the world of science, he is an invincible general.

The generals' confidence ended with a report that "the experiment was about to fail".

It turned out that Zhang Qi finally underestimated the difficulty of the experiment. He could indeed overturn existing scientific beliefs, but he could not control the consequences of his actions.

"Absolute zero" is a force that can "touch" time, and if the purpose of this experiment is only to prove its existence, then there is still room for failure, it is just a matter of trying harder next time.

But Zhang Qi was too conceited, and his colleagues and assistants did not dare or could not oppose his radical experiments. Now, what he wants to do is "control" this power, and finally, it is out of control.

All the control measures conceived by Zhang Qi have failed under the interference of "time".

However, even at this point, he did not panic, but was somewhat intoxicated with the sense of accomplishment of "touching" time.

At this point, he didn't care about the people sent from the main control room. Gather your long-time lab assistants: "Ladies and gentlemen, unfortunately, it looks like our experiment has failed. I know I'm not a nice person to work with. Thank you for your kind stay. When everyone saw him say such words similar to farewell, they thought that Zhang Qi was a little unable to resist under the huge blow. They comforted him one after another, saying that there was another chance, and the results of the experiment this time were already very huge, etc.

Only the assistant who had questioned him in the afternoon seemed to suddenly understand something, and asked in a trembling voice, "Director, will the experiment fail...... What will happen?" everyone came back to their senses at this time, and the scene quieted down for a while, and they all showed some uneasiness, all staring at Zhang Qi, waiting for his explanation.

Zhang Qi calmly smiled at the assistant who asked the question: "According to my calculations, once we can't control this power, there will be a 'time out of sync' situation." He then turned around, took a closer look at the seemingly empty area in the center of the facility, and then explained, "And our experimental dose will probably destroy the entire mountain valley. So, for the state, the losses are not particularly ......"

Everyone was already stunned when they heard that the entire valley would be destroyed, and where could they hear what Zhang Qi was saying behind him. At this point, even killing Zhang Qi, the mad scientist who dragged everyone to hell, would be useless.

When most of the people regained their ability to think a little, they only heard the last three words of Zhang Qi's words: Started. Then the crowd lost all consciousness.

Over the next year, foreign intelligence services were surprised to find that the scientific community in China seemed to have changed dramatically: the famous Zhang Qi's team seemed to have been transferred to conduct secret research, and the generals in charge of military science and technology had died or retired. For a while, all kinds of conspiracy theories were flying all over the sky.

Of course, that's another story.
