Chapter 524: Chrono No. 1
Ten days later, on April 4th, the Chrono Science and Technology Park ushered in a very important event. After more than a year of hard work, the "Chrono No. 1", which cost about 15 billion yuan, has passed the most difficult test and can be officially put into testing.
The essence of this "Macross 1" is also a multiverse connector, and its role is to try to transmit information between the current universe and other universes. Theoretically, as long as the multiverse information transmission technique is mastered, and the technique is mature enough, then it is equivalent to developing the traversal technique.
In fact, "Chrono No. 1" is equivalent to the prototype of the Moonlight Treasure Box, and the reason why the Moonlight Treasure Box can allow souls to travel through is to transmit soul information between multiple universes.
Of course, the "Chrono No. 1" developed by the Chrono Science and Technology Park is not at the same level as the Moonlight Treasure Box, and there is no comparison between the two. If the moonlight treasure box is compared to the moon, then "Chrono 1" may not even be a speck of dust, and the gap is self-evident.
Despite this, after the news of the successful development of "Chrono 1" came out, it also attracted great attention from major media in China and even in the world. After all, since the U.S.-National Academy of Sciences issued a joint statement two months ago, Chrono 1 is the world's second multiverse connector.
More importantly, this "Chrono 1" was developed with the participation of Yin Weijian, and Yin Weijian, as the most authoritative and only expert on multiverse theory in the world, "Chrono 1" is naturally more exciting.
More than two months ago, the National Academy of Sciences' experiments on multiverse connectors were conducted in secret. It was not until the results of the experiment were made public to the world community. Therefore, the rest of the world does not know what the Duoverse Connector looks like, how to conduct experiments, how to receive signals from other universes, and what the signals are received.
In short, little is known about the multiverse connector.
In order to satisfy the curiosity of the people of the world, after some discussion, the Chrono Science and Technology Park decided to cooperate with Jinghua TV and CCTV, and broadcast live TV on the process of "Chrono 1" receiving multiverse signals.
There are also political considerations for the live TV broadcast.
Now. Countries around the world know that China is conducting research on the multiverse. If China completely blocks the news about "Chrono 1" and does not let the outside world know about it, it will inevitably attract suspicion and bad speculation from other countries.
In order to avoid unnecessary disturbances or turmoil in countries around the world, the Chinese government has decided to make all the news about "Chrono 1" public to all countries in the world.
Of course. The reason why I chose to make it public. It is also because "Chrono 1" is not a state secret. The real state secret is the person Yin Weijian (Tang Xiaosheng).
Yin Weijian has already determined that it is impossible to truly give birth to a mature traversal technique in the next 100 years, and "Chrono 1" is just a trivial beginning. There is still a long way to go to explore the art of art. Making Chrono 1 available to the world is not only harmless, but beneficial, as it can attract more collaborators.
As a result, on April 4, hundreds of Chinese and foreign media reporters were allowed to enter the R&D center of the Chrono Science and Technology Park to witness the launching ceremony of "Chrono 1".
In addition to media reporters, those who attended the launching ceremony of "Chrono No. 1" also included Wei Xiaobao, Secretary of the Jinghua Municipal Party Committee, Director of the Standing Committee of the Jinghua Municipal People's Congress, and First Secretary of the Party Committee of the Jinghua Military Division, Ouyang Ke, the chief scientist of the Chrono Science and Technology Park, Academician Huo Xing, and Yin Weijian, the founder of "Yin's Multiverse Theory".
At 9 o'clock in the morning, under the auspices of Wei Xiaobao, the "Chrono 1" held a simple unveiling ceremony, at this moment, this world-renowned instrument finally unveiled its mysterious veil and revealed its true face in front of the world.
When they saw the appearance of "Chrono 1", many media reporters at the scene were stunned, because this instrument was even bigger than they imagined.
The shape of the "Chrono 1" is cylindrical, with a diameter of about 7 meters and a length of about 37 meters, and the volume of the entire instrument is nearly 1,500 cubic meters, which is equivalent to the total volume of about 30 buses stacked on top of each other. In the huge internal space of "Chrono 1", there is an extremely intricate and complex structure designed according to the "Yin's Multiverse Theory".
This behemoth, costing about 15 billion yuan, lasted one year, six months and eleven days, involved in the research and development of about 9,000 scientists and engineers, 1,144 enterprises, 77 universities and scientific research units.
Although the shape of "Chrono 1" looks very large, its volume is only two-fifths of the multiverse connector developed by the American Academy of Sciences, and to be able to do this, the nearly 10,000 researchers of the Chrono Science and Technology Park can be said to have done their best.
Of course, "Chrono 1" is not for viewing, but for trying to receive signals from other universes.
At 11:10 a.m., the launching ceremony of "Chrono 1" entered the countdown to the last time, and the entire launching ceremony was commanded by Academician Huo Xing, chief scientist of the Chrono Science and Technology Park, and 2,000 experts and technicians from the scientific research center of the Chrono Science Park were ready.
At 11:11:01, in the eager anticipation of hundreds of media reporters and countless viewers in front of the TV, Academician Huo Xing, who was standing in the command center of the Ministry of Scientific Research, issued an order to the staff of the entire Ministry of Scientific Research through the voice system: "All departments are ready to start the countdown to the last time that 'Time and Space 1' will enter the most difficult time, 10 ...... 9…… 8…… 7…… 6…… 5…… 4…… 3…… 2…… 1…… Initiate! ”
Airplanes!!!
As soon as the starting sound fell, "Chrono 1" was officially opened, and after a while, there was a slight humming sound.
"The powertrain is normal, the report is complete."
"The sensing system is normal, the report is complete."
"The information system is normal, and the report is complete."
"The control system is normal, the report is complete."
……
"Chrono 1 has been successfully activated, and it's over."
When I heard the news that Academician Huo Xing of the command center announced the successful launch of "Chrono 1". Hundreds of reporters fell silent, and the entire venue was silent and silent, and all eyes were fixed on a large screen in front of the accusation center, full of anticipation.
Chrono 1 has been activated, which means that it is officially trying to connect with other universes and receive information from outside the universe.
Two months ago, the Multiverse Connector developed by the American Academy of Sciences received 19 weak signals from other universes, and the total storage capacity of these 19 weak signals was about 0.013KB.
"Didi...... Click...... Click...... Didi...... Da Di ......"
Just when everyone is holding their breath. When staring intently at the big screen. At this time, a series of electronic sounds suddenly sounded at the scene, and then a ripple suddenly jumped on the screen. Ups and downs. Bouncing up and down.
When I saw this scene. Many reporters could not help but express their joy, especially the Chinese reporters, who were very excited. Because they understand that this may mean that "Chrono 1" has successfully received signals from another universe.
Sure enough, fifteen minutes later, an exciting piece of good news came from the Information Technology Center, which was identified by more than a hundred experts, and it was confirmed that the series of unknown information that had just been received was from a time and space outside the current universe.
Since the entire launch ceremony of "Chrono 1" was broadcast live on television, the news soon spread around the world.
After receiving the news, thousands of Chinese citizens who sat in front of their televisions or computers to watch the live broadcast cheered and expressed their joy.
At the same time, Chaokong Science and Technology Park also immediately received congratulatory messages from all over the country, expressing congratulations.
Chrono 1, after activation, remained operational and constantly attempted to receive signals. From 11 a.m. to 17 p.m., in just six hours, a total of 108 weak signals were received, and the total storage capacity of these 108 signals was about 1.07KB.
After obtaining this data, more than 2,000 researchers in the Chrono Science and Technology Park were also excited, because this not only means that the research and development of "Chrono 1" has been successful, but also the ability of "Chrono 1" to receive information about the time and space of the universe is about ten times stronger than the multiverse connector of the American Academy of Sciences.
After participating in the launching ceremony of "Chrono 1", in the evening of the same day, Ouyang Ke, Yin Weijian (Tang Xiaosheng) and Academician Huo Xing, on behalf of the Chrono Science and Technology Park, held a press conference to explain the situation of "Chrono 1" and accepted questions from the media of various countries in the world.
"Hello Academician Huo Xing, I am a reporter for the New York Times in the United States. Can you now confirm that the development of 'Macross 1' has been successful? ”
"Yes. As of an hour ago, 'Chrono 1' had received a total of 108 signals with a total capacity of 1.07KB. These signals have been determined to come from the outer universe. Academician Huo Xing truthfully introduced.
So, what do these 108 signals represent? Or what does it mean? Where did it come from? The reporter asked.
Academician Huo Xing explained: "At present, the signals carried by these 108 signals are not continuous, but fragmented, and the total capacity is only 1.07KB, the amount of information is too small, the analysis is very complicated, and it is not yet seen to have any substantive meaning or meaning." As for where they came from, it is also unknown, and it is certain that they are not from the current universe. ”
"Since 'Chrono 1' has been able to transmit information with other cosmic space-time, does it mean that human beings will be able to travel through time and space in the near future?"
"Of course not. This question is more complicated," Academician Huo Xing paused for a moment and pointed to Yin Weijian beside him, "Let's let Xiao Yin answer!" ”
Yin Weijian (Tang Xiaosheng) coughed and continued to explain: "Let's take an analogy. If you think of a universe as a mobile phone, then traveling from one cosmic space-time to another cosmic space-time is equivalent to sending a message from one mobile phone to another mobile phone. At present, what 'Chrono 1' can do is only the simplest text message sent to each other by mobile phones. And if human beings want to travel through time and space, it is equivalent to compressing people into file information, entering it into a mobile phone, and then sending people out of the country in the form of information for another mobile phone to receive. Of course, the actual situation is a thousand times more complicated. Here's just an analogy. ”
Although Tang Xiaosheng's words sound a bit mysterious, what he said is not alarmist, but the real situation.
In order for "Chrono No. 1" to truly be like the Moonlight Treasure Box, which can make people's souls travel through time and space, there are two major technical problems that need to be solved, one is the problem of information transmission, and the other is the problem of space-time positioning.
The problem of information transmission is obvious, and at present, the information transmission speed of "Chrono 1" is about 4 KB per day, which is already about ten times faster than the instruments of the National Academy of Sciences. But with this transmission rate, I want to make people's souls travel through time and space. It's impossible.
A few months ago, Tang Xiaosheng had returned to Guangming Peak to learn some progress in the study of "soul" from Nie Xiaoqian. According to Nie Xiaoqian, the capacity of a normal human soul is about "10 positive" bits.
What is the concept of "10 positives"?
10 to the 4th power is 10,000. 10 to the 8th power is 100 million. 10 to the 12th power is a mega. The 16th power of 10 is Jing, the 24th power of 10 is Zi, and the 32nd power of 10 is Gou. 10 to the 40th power is positive.
10 positive, then equal to 10 to the 41st power.
The soul capacity of an ordinary human is about 10 positive bits, and with the transmission speed of 4KB per day of "Chrono 1", it will take 250 million billion billion years to transfer a human soul to other universes!
It would take 250 million billion billion years to transmit a human soul, which is obviously not feasible. You must know that the moonlight treasure box is to make people's souls pass through in an instant.
Therefore, the speed and technique of information transmission are the first problems faced by "Chrono 1".
A bigger problem facing "Chrono 1" is the problem of space-time positioning, which is the most lethal and the most complicated.
There is no way to know how many universes and how many time and space there are in the entire world. But judging from Zixia's travel experience, the number of universes that exist is probably more than the stars in the sky, and they are too many to count.
In so many universes, it is difficult to accurately locate time and space, and from a human perspective, it is almost impossible to complete.
In fact, Chrono 1 has only been associated with one universe so far, and among the 108 signals it has received are from the same outer universe. As for what this outer universe is, it is not known for the time being.
And it is unimaginably difficult to connect with more, if not all, of the universe, and even to locate it accurately. If the huge project of "Chronometer Planning" is likened to a sea, then the mission of "Chronometer 1" is about a water molecule in the sea, and it may not even be a water molecule.
It was precisely because of this that Tang Xiaosheng knew that there was still an endless way to go for Lu Dao to develop the Crossing Technique.
But then again.
Although "Chrono No. 1" is not worth mentioning at all in front of an artifact like the Moonlight Treasure Box, "Chrono No. 1" already represents the highest level of scientific research in China and even the whole world.
With the current level of technology of Earth's civilization, it is already very difficult to make a multiverse connector that is more advanced than "Chrono 1".
If we want to go further, the only way is to improve the level of human science, in short, to train the world's top scientists to the next level.
In the past few years, Tang Xiaosheng has increased his knowledge of about ten books a day on average, and with his dedication to studying the "Internal Structure Diagram of the Moonlight Treasure Box", his current level of knowledge has been far ahead of the current era. It could be 50 years ahead, it could be 100 years ahead, it could be a longer lead.
If you use the most cutting-edge knowledge in Tang Xiaosheng's mind to create a new instrument, you will definitely be able to develop a multiverse connector that is 100 times more advanced than "Chrono 1".
It's just that Tang Xiaosheng's knowledge and theories that are far beyond this era are not understood by other top scientists and engineers on the earth, and Tang Xiaosheng is completely unable to communicate with them, and they naturally cannot use Tang Xiaosheng's ideas to develop new instruments.
In this way, Tang Xiaosheng had an empty head of advanced knowledge, but because he couldn't find a partner, he couldn't put his ideas into action.
In order to solve this embarrassing situation, Tang Xiaosheng decided to train the top scientists on the earth, teaching his knowledge to these authoritative experts first, and then considering cooperation.
In order to impart knowledge, it is natural to have corresponding teaching materials.
Over the past few years, Tang Xiaosheng has been constantly improving his "Yin's Multiverse Theory", and after such a long time of accumulation and scrutiny, the overall framework of this theory has come out.
Therefore, he decided to take some time to write out the "Yin's Multiverse Theory" and compile it into a textbook, and then make it available to top scientists in the country and even the world to study. Only by letting them learn these theories and improve their knowledge level can Tang Xiaosheng's ideas be understood.
Tang Xiaosheng's "Yin's Multiverse Theory" is a cosmological theory that is at least decades ahead of the current era, forcing the world's top scientists to learn such advanced knowledge, which is indeed a bit difficult for them, and even a bit of "pulling out the seedlings to help them grow".
It's just that in the current situation, if Tang Xiaosheng doesn't do this, he won't be able to find a partner at all, and mankind's exploration of time and space travel will stagnate.
After thinking about it again, Tang Xiaosheng felt that there was no way to do it.
So, after April 4, Tang Xiaosheng locked himself in the room of the Chrono Science and Technology Park and began to devote himself to the creation of "Yin's Multiverse Theory", compiling textbooks for the world's top scientists. (To be continued......)
