Chapter 555: Strange Energy

Three days later, on March 18, 2088, the soul crossing test was held at the Moonlight Mansion as scheduled.

Although it is just an experiment, it has touched the hearts of nearly 10 billion people around the world. Human civilization for thousands of years has done countless experiments, but I am afraid that none of them can be compared with this soul crossing experiment.

If this experiment succeeds, it will have an immeasurable impact on the future fate of the entire human race. Once humans have really mastered the traversal technique, then everything will be different.

Human beings can not only go back to the past and re-experience life in history, but also go to the future and enjoy advanced technology in advance; You can not only leave the earth and travel to other cosmic spaces to experience the life of another world, but also leave your own body and travel to other bodies to experience a different life.

It is precisely because there are so many benefits of crossing and the impact on human beings that people around the world will pay so much attention to the crossing experiment of "Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3".

And among all of them, the most nervous people are probably Wei Xiaobao and Ouyang Ke.

Since the establishment of the "Chrono Planning", Wei Xiaobao and Ouyang Ke have been conscientious, not daring to have a moment of leisure, and doing their best to promote this plan. Before they knew it, they had been struggling for almost 70 years.

The years are unforgiving.

Today in 2088, Wei Xiaobao is 94 years old, and Ouyang Ke is also 84 years old. With each time moving forward, the two of them are a little closer to the day of death, so to speak. The two of them are in a race against time.

They are so desperate in order to explore the traversal technique before they die, and return to the original time and space. So, as long as this time-traveling experiment can be successful, they are willing to pay any price.

Regarding Wei Xiaobao and Ouyang Ke's feelings, Tang Xiaosheng understands them very well.

However, for the experiment of soul crossing, Tang Xiaosheng was completely unsure in his heart, and he himself didn't know if Lu Dao could succeed.

The traversal principle used in "Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3" is from Tang Xiaosheng's "Yin's Multiverse Theory". The soul crossing system is based on Nie Xiaoqian and Zixia's "Human Soulology" and the human soul spectrum.

This set of crossing instruments not only integrates the scientific research achievements of Tang Xiaosheng, Nie Xiaoqian, and Zixiarong. At the same time, it also embodies the efforts of tens of millions of scientific researchers in the entire Chrono Science and Technology City for decades.

"Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3" is a huge traversal system, which is composed of 520 subsystems. Among the 520 subsystems, the techniques of each system are relatively mature. Tang Xiaosheng felt that these systems were not a big problem.

His only concern was the problem. It is the energy system in "Moonlight Box No. 3".

The greater the amount of information traversing the body. The more energy is consumed. And the human soul information capacity is about 10 trillion trillion terabytes, and it is necessary to send such a huge amount of information out of the river and travel through time and space. The amount of energy it requires is almost incalculable.

It is precisely because the amount of energy required is so large that it is impossible to calculate that Tang Xiaosheng still does not know how much energy is needed for the "Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3" of the Lunar Dao, let alone whether the "energy system" of the Lunar Dao can provide enough energy.

In order to make the "Moonlight Treasure Box 3" have a powerful energy system, in the past two decades, under the proposal of Tang Xiaosheng, the alliance has invested 7 trillion US dollars to build 355 energy stations in China.

Among the 355 energy stations, there are 77 new nuclear energy stations, 44 hydropower energy stations, 115 solar energy stations and dozens of other types of energy stations.

The 355 energy stations are centered on the Chrono Science and Technology City, covering an area of millions of square kilometers and almost all of China. These stations do not exist alone, but are connected into a huge energy system.

The largest energy system on the earth composed of these 355 energy stations is the energy system of "Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3".

Even so, it is not known whether this huge energy system will be able to provide enough energy for the "Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3".

However, the answer will soon be revealed.

On the morning of March 18, 2088, in the midst of all the attention, the soul crossing experiment of "Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3" was carried out in the Moonlight Building as scheduled.

Early in the morning, the Moonlight Building gathered thousands of journalists from all over the world. When the reporter arrived, they found that the experts of the Moonlight Research Group had arrived earlier than them and had already started to get busy in the Moonlight Building.

Although today is only an experiment of soul travel, it is a very complex and large project.

Since 0:00 a.m., more than 2 million scientific researchers in the Moonlight Building have arrived at their respective posts, and everyone has worked together to prepare for the upcoming crossing experiment.

As for Tang Xiaosheng, he went to the "Crossing Cabin" located on the 412th floor of the Moonlight Building, and met Academician Huo Xing, the tester of today's crossing experiment.

Three days ago, Academician Huo Xing took the initiative to make a request to Tang Xiaosheng, wanting to use his own soul to carry out this crossing experiment. After careful consideration, Tang Xiaosheng finally agreed.

The crossing experiment was about to begin, so Tang Xiaosheng specially came to the "crossing cabin" to meet Academician Huo Xing, and cheered him on by the way. After all, this is the first time that human beings have conducted a crossing experiment, and Academician Huo Xing, as the first person to test it, may not have any bottom in his heart.

After arriving at the traversal capsule, Tang Xiaosheng saw that Academician Huo Xing was already sitting in a human cabin, and many scientific researchers beside him were debugging the machine for him.

"Huo Lao, are you feeling okay?" After seeing the 118-year-old academician Huo Xing, Tang Xiaosheng stepped forward and asked with concern.

Academician Huo Xing nodded slightly, a hint of excitement appeared on his wrinkled face, and he seemed to be looking forward to this crossing experiment.

Tang Xiaosheng explained: "Huo Lao, don't worry, no matter whether this crossing experiment can succeed or not, you will be fine." ”

If the energy system of "Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3" is sufficient, then the chance of success of this soul crossing experiment is still very high, and when the time comes. Academician Huo Xing's soul will break away from his current identity and travel to another body on Earth.

And if the energy of the energy system of the "Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3" is insufficient, then the soul crossing experiment will inevitably fail, and at that time, Academician Huo Xing's soul will continue to stay in his current body without any damage.

Therefore, no matter what the results of this experiment are, Academician Huo Xing will not be worried about his life.

Academician Huo Xing is also the developer of "Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3", and he is also one of the core R&D experts. smiled. said lightly: "Even if something really happens, it doesn't matter." I'm almost 120 years old this year, and I'm pretty much alive. ”

Seeing that Academician Huo Xing's mentality was still relatively relaxed and calm, Tang Xiaosheng was a little relieved.

After chatting with Academician Huo Xing for a while. Tang Xiaosheng left the traversal cabin first. and proceed to the Energy System Command Center located on the 7th floor of the Moonlight Building. The energy system is Tang Xiaosheng's biggest concern right now. So, he kept an eye on it.

When he arrived at the command center, Tang Xiaosheng found Hu Xiaozhi, the chief expert of the energy system command center. Hu Xiaozhi is a world-renowned physicist. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2064.

When Tang Xiaosheng first met Hu Xiaozhi, Hu Xiaozhi was only twelve years old, and at that time, he wrote a love letter to Xiao Huang Rong, which left a deep impression on Tang Xiaosheng. It wasn't until more than 20 years later that when chatting with Hu Xiaozhi, Tang Xiaosheng accidentally learned an unexpected news, it turned out that Hu Xiaozhi was Hu Daqiang's son.

Hu Xiaozhi is diligent and studious, and Tang Xiaosheng appreciates him a lot, so he handed over the energy system of "Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3" to him in charge.

"Ash, how's the preparation?" After arriving at the command center, Tang Xiaosheng asked.

Hu Xiaozhi said truthfully: "Old Yin, don't worry, the entire energy system is operating very normally, and all 355 energy stations have been activated, and they can provide energy support for 'Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3' at any time." ”

Tang Xiaosheng advised: "I don't know how much energy the 'Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3' needs now, and I don't know if these 355 energy stations are enough. After the time travel experiment begins, remember to record the energy consumption data, hoping to calculate the energy consumption value of 'Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3'. ”

"Okay, I see." Hu Xiaozhi nodded.

After inspecting the energy system, Tang Xiaosheng successively inspected dozens of core systems such as the "Crossing Loading System", "Crossing Time Positioning System", "Crossing Control System" and "Crossing Information System" of Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3, and almost visited the entire Moonlight Building.

After inspecting the preparations for dozens of core systems, at about 10 o'clock in the morning, Tang Xiaosheng came to the command center on the 111th floor of the Moonlight Building, ready to start the crossing experiment immediately.

As one of the core experts of the Moonlight Research Group, Zixia was also in the command center and accompanied Tang Xiaosheng.

At noon, at 12 o'clock, all 520 systems of "Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3" were ready, and more than 2 million scientific researchers in Moonlight Building were ready to go, just waiting for the order of Chief Scientist Yin Weijian.

Ten minutes later, the long-awaited time finally arrived.

At 12:14, Tang Xiaosheng issued an order in the command center of the Moonlight Building: "Attention of all system departments, the countdown of the 'Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3' is ten seconds after the first crossing test and entering the most difficult test, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one - start!" ”

"The energy system has been successfully activated, the energy supply is normal, and it is over."

"The pod has been successfully activated, and it's over."

"The time-traveling positioning system has been successfully activated, and it is over."

"Everything is working well through the information system, done."

"Everything is fine with the traversal control system, done."

……

More than a minute later.

"Huo Lao, how do you feel now?" Tang Xiaosheng asked Academician Huo Xing in the "crossing cabin" through the voice system.

"I feel good." Academician Huo Xing replied truthfully.

Tang Xiaosheng explained: "If there is no problem, we will immediately start the experiment of soul crossing. ”

Academician Huo Xing replied: "There is no problem, you can start." ”

……

More than ten seconds later.

"Soul system preparation, activate the 'soul extraction system'." Tang Xiaosheng said.

"The 'Soul Extraction System' has been successfully activated, and the soul is being extracted......"

……

Two minutes later.

"Soul extraction successful, done."

"Activate the 'Soul Loading System' now."

……

"The soul loading system is activated."

……

"The soul system successfully establishes a connection with the temporal positioning system. Complete. ”

……

"The results of the traversal information system monitoring are normal, and it is complete."

……

"The traversal control system is ready, done."

……

After about ten minutes, all preparations were complete, and the traversal test had reached the most critical step - firing the soul and leaving it from its current plane.

Whether the experiment can be successful or not depends on this step.

Before launching the soul, Tang Xiaosheng paid special attention to the operation of the energy system, so he asked through the command center, "Xiaozhi, how is the energy system?" ”

Hu Xiaozhi, who is located in the center of the energy system, replied: "The energy system is very normal. All 355 power stations have been opened. It can be used to power 'Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3' at any time, and it's over. ”

After making sure that there was no problem with the energy system, Tang Xiaosheng took a light breath and sank. One of the most important commands was issued through the command center: "Prepare for the crossing control system." Enter the launch step. ”

Ten seconds later.

"The traversal launch system is activated. Launched into ......"

Rumble!!!

At this moment, Tang Xiaosheng, who was in the command center, suddenly heard an earth-shattering bang, and the sound did not fall. The entire Moonlight Mansion began to shake violently!

The shaking was so loud that it was like a super earthquake!

The incident happened suddenly, unexpectedly, and before everyone could react, everyone was already shaken up!

Because the Moonlight Mansion shook too much, almost none of the scientific researchers in the building could maintain their balance, and a large number of them were shaken down, except for Tang Xiaosheng and Zixia, who were able to stand firmly, the others fell to the ground without exception.

It wasn't until twenty seconds later that the shaking of the Moonlight Mansion slowly subsided, and finally regained its calm.

The Moonlight Mansion is built with special building materials that can resist almost any earthquake and is known as the "Tumbler Building", so no matter what happens, the Moonlight Mansion will not collapse.

Despite this, after experiencing the violent shaking just now, many scientific researchers in the Moonlight Building were still scared into a cold sweat and had palpitations.

"What's going on? Why did the building shake so badly, could it be an earthquake? Zixia asked.

"It shouldn't be an earthquake." Tang Xiaosheng frowned slightly and replied.

As soon as he gave the order to "cross the launch", the Moonlight Building suddenly shook, and he suspected that the tremor of the building might be related to the launch of the "Moonlight Treasure Box 3".

Before he had time to think about it, Tang Xiaosheng immediately asked about Academician Huo Xing in the traversal capsule through the command center, and after making sure that Academician Huo Xing was safe, he immediately asked the person in charge of the traversal launch system about the situation: "Xiao Li, how is the launch going?" ”

After a while, I heard the other party's answer: "Lao Yin, the launch failed." ”

"What is the reason for the failure?"

"It should be that the energy supply is insufficient. During the launch, the entire energy system of 'Moonlight Box 3' suddenly stopped, making it impossible to traverse. ”

Hearing this, Tang Xiaosheng realized that the problem he was most worried about had indeed happened, and that there was really something wrong with the energy system, and without thinking too much, he immediately contacted Hu Xiaozhi, the person in charge of the energy system, and asked, "Xiaozhi, what's wrong with the energy system?" ”

"Old Yin, I just checked, it's a problem of energy overload, the energy required by 'Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3' is even greater than imagined." Hu Xiaozhi explained, "The moment the traversal launch program was activated, the energy system collapsed in a moment because the energy exceeded the rated range. Of the 355 energy stations, 177 have been completely paralyzed and completely unable to supply energy. ”

"177 power stations are down?"

"Yes, this is only a preliminary statistic, and the situation may be more serious."

"When the traversal launch program is activated, can the energy consumption data of 'Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3' be recorded?"

"Yes."

"Okay, you can transfer this data to my office computer right away."

"It's good."

Crossing the experiment to carry out here, the results are already obvious, this experiment has failed. As for the reason for the failure, it was Tang Xiaosheng's previous biggest concern - the energy system.

Since the "Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3" needs to consume a huge amount of energy when activating the function of soul crossing. This energy was significantly more than the sum of the 355 energy stations could provide, resulting in a failed traversal launch.

The experiment failed, but it was not for nothing.

During the experiment, Hu Xiaozhi had already recorded some data on the energy consumption of the "Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3", and with these data, he was able to calculate the value of the energy required by the "Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3".

At 12:40, after receiving the energy consumption data of "Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3" from Hu Xiaozhi, Tang Xiaosheng sat in his office and used a supercomputer to make relevant calculations.

Due to the complexity of the data, it is very cumbersome to calculate. It takes a lot of time. Tang Xiaosheng calculated for nearly twenty minutes, but still did not stop, and continued to concentrate on calculating the data.

At this moment, Zixia suddenly walked into the office. said to Tang Xiaosheng: "Supreme Treasure." There are tons of reporters out there who want to interview you. Are you going to have to deal with it? ”

Twenty minutes ago, the reporters already knew that the "Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3" crossing experiment had failed, but. The reason for the failure was not clear to everyone, so they wanted to learn about the relevant situation from Yin Weijian.

It's just that Tang Xiaosheng is in the mood to hold a media conference now, he is buried in calculating the energy data required by the "Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3". "Supreme Treasure, haven't you figured it out yet?" Zixia stepped forward lightly, walked up to him, and asked strangely.

With Tang Xiaosheng's analytical ability and supercomputer's computing power, it should be easy to calculate an energy consumption value, but Tang Xiaosheng has been calculating for nearly 20 minutes and has not yet calculated it, which is rare.

"It's not that I didn't calculate it, but I don't believe the results of the calculations." At this time, Tang Xiaosheng pointed to the invisible optical screen of the computer and said, "This data is the energy value required by the 'Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3' when it crosses souls. ”

Hearing what he said, Zixia was curious, her beautiful eyes flashed, and she looked at the screen, and after a while, Liu Mei couldn't help but bend slightly, and her pretty face showed a very surprised look. Because the energy consumption value she saw from the screen was an astronomical figure of 119 digits, which was unimaginably large.

"Supreme Treasure, did you miscalculate?" How could the energy consumption of Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3 be so large? Zixia asked puzzled.

Tang Xiaosheng explained: "When I first calculated this value, my first reaction was that I had miscalculated, so I calculated it again, and as a result, I found that it was still this value. Just now, I've done the math four times, and no matter how I calculate it, it's still this value. ”

Zixia was slightly startled and asked suspiciously: "This is also too exaggerated!" If the energy consumption of 'Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3' is really this value, then it is impossible to use 'Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3' to traverse, and it is impossible for us to find such a large amount of energy. ”

"You're right, with the current understanding of human beings, there is no such huge energy in the universe, and it is impossible for us to find such a huge energy." Tang Xiaosheng analyzed, "The mass of the earth is about 600 billion billion kilograms, and even if the entire earth is converted into pure energy according to the mass energy agenda, it is not enough to provide the energy needed for 'Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3'." ”

Zixia rolled her eyes and said, "However, if soul crossing really requires such a large amount of energy, then how does the Moonlight Treasure Box achieve soul crossing?" Where does its energy come from? ”

Tang Xiaosheng slowed down and said, "I was also thinking about this matter just now. Zixia, I remember you said that there is also a 'Black Vortex' inside the Moonlight Treasure Box, and I suspect that the energy source of the Moonlight Treasure Box may be related to this 'Black Vortex'. ”

After a pause, he continued, "Also, Azhu once said that there has always been a 'strange energy' on the earth, which can destroy people's souls in an instant, and as for what this 'strange energy' is, no one knows. I now suspect that this 'strange energy' may be the energy needed to travel through. ”

Zixia nodded and said, "It's a pity that I couldn't see through the 'Black Vortex' inside the Moonlight Treasure Box when I used the 'Perspective Technique', otherwise, I would be able to provide you with some help now." ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "Actually, the issue of the 'black vortex' inside the Moonlight Treasure Box can be put aside for now, and there is no need to worry. It's 2088 now, and in another 24 years it's 2112. By 2112, we will be able to get the Moonlight Treasure Box. When we get the Moonlight Treasure Box, it's not too late for us to study the 'Black Vortex' inside it. ”

After being reminded by him, Zixia remembered. There are only 24 years left until 2112, and time flies really fast, he said: "Since the problem of the 'Black Vortex' is not urgent for the time being, then we will focus on finding the 'Strange Energy' first. ”

Tang Xiaosheng agreed: "Your thoughts are the same as mine, and I am also ready to try to find 'strange energy' for a period of time in the future. ”

Zixia said: "Let's talk about it slowly after looking for 'strange energy', you should go out to hold a press conference now, thousands of reporters are waiting for you!" ”

Tang Xiaosheng smiled and said, "Okay, let's go!" ”

……

A few minutes later, Tang Xiaosheng appeared in the hall on the first floor of the Moonlight Building. As soon as he appeared. It immediately attracted the attention of thousands of journalists from all over the world. After the reporters gathered, Tang Xiaosheng held a media conference to introduce the situation of the "Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3" crossing experiment.

After the introduction, he also accepted questions from the reporters present.

"Mr. Yin. I am a correspondent for the Daily News of the Union State. Excuse me. Half an hour ago. The entire Moonlight Mansion shook violently for more than twenty seconds, what was going on? A young blonde female reporter asked.

"The problem of the Moonlight Mansion shaking. The main reason is that when the 'Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3' was launching souls, the energy system suddenly collapsed, causing the building to be unbalanced, so there was some shaking. However, the Moonlight Mansion has perfect protection measures, and all the scientific researchers are only frightened, and no one is injured. Tang Xiaosheng said truthfully.

"So, does this mean that the 'Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3' crossing experiment has failed?"

"Yes." Tang Xiaosheng admitted.

"What is the reason for the failure?"

"As it stands, it's a problem with the energy system. The energy required for soul travel is much greater than imagined, and the current energy system of the Chrono Technology City is completely insufficient to increase such a large amount of energy. ”

"It is understood that the energy system of 'Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3' is composed of 355 energy stations, such a huge energy system, isn't it enough?" A correspondent from the Allied State Science and Technology Weekly asked curiously.

Tang Xiaosheng explained: "I also prayed that this energy system was sufficient, but unfortunately, this energy system proved to be completely a drop in the bucket. ”

The reporter asked: "Since it is a shortage of energy, will the alliance consider increasing the construction of energy stations and upgrading the energy system in the next few years?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng shook his head: "There is no such plan for the time being, because even if you build more energy stations, it is useless." The energy required for soul crossing is beyond the scope of human cognition, and it is almost an impossible problem to solve. ”

"How much energy does it take to cross the soul?"

"Let's use an analogy! Even if all the matter in the entire solar system were converted into pure energy, it would still not be enough to provide the energy needed for Moonlight Box 3 to traverse. ”

Upon hearing this, most of the reporters present showed a look of surprise on their faces, a little incredulous.

"Mr. Yin, since the energy required by 'Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3' is so amazing, does this mean that it is impossible for humans to carry out soul traversal?"

"If you can't find the right energy, then it is. Therefore, an important scientific research direction of the Moonlight Research Group in the future is to find 'new energy'. ”

……

The entire press conference lasted more than an hour, and when the press conference ended, the news of the failure of the "Moonlight Treasure Box 3" crossing experiment also spread around the world.

After getting this news, many people were a little disappointed. Because judging from Yin Weijian's description, the energy required for soul travel is jaw-dropping, and it seems to be an impossible task for human beings to travel through time and space.

Despite this, there are still many people who are full of expectations and longing for "time and space travel", and they are very optimistic that Yin Weijian can find "new energy".

Among them, Wei Xiaobao is one.

After nearly 70 years of exploration, mankind's dream of traveling through time and space is actually only one step away from being realized. As long as the "new energy" in Yin Weijian's mouth is found to provide energy for the soul crossing of "Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3", then human beings can go on a travel journey.

As soon as he thought of this, Wei Xiaobao was excited, and felt that he would soon be able to return to the time and space of "The Legend of Deer and Ding".

Wei Xiaobao is 94 years old this year, and his age is not young, according to his original plan, he is preparing to retire. Resign as the chief leader of the Alliance, and then use the "Frozen Worm" to freeze yourself for a few years to prolong your life.

However, when the "Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3" was developed, Wei Xiaobao canceled the original plan. Since as long as he finds "new energy", he can cross over, so he is ready to lead all mankind to find "new energy".

And to lead all mankind, Wei Xiaobao can only continue to serve as the chief leader of the alliance for a second time.

Wei Xiaobao served as the chief leader of the first league from 2068 to 2078 and the chief of the second league from 2078 to 2088.

It's 2088 now. Wei Xiaobao's term of office as the second chief league leader has also arrived. It's time for a change of office again.

Since there is no limit on the number of re-elections of the chief league leader in the relevant regulations of the alliance state, Wei Xiaobao can also participate in the election of the chief league leader in 2088.

As a matter of fact. Wei Xiaobao himself didn't say anything at all. Leaders of more than 100 countries have publicly retained Wei Xiaobao. Hopefully, he will be re-elected as Chief Leader.

In the past 20 years, under the leadership of Wei Xiaobao, the entire earth has achieved unprecedented achievements. This is obvious to all the people of the world.

In the eyes of the people of most countries, Wei Xiaobao has become synonymous with "chief alliance leader", and he perfectly interprets the image of an earth leader with his practical actions.

In the eyes of the people of the world, Wei Xiaobao is a very far-sighted, open-minded and charismatic leader, who always puts the overall situation and the development of the global human race first, and has never been informal, and has never favored anyone or any country.

The reason why Wei Xiaobao seems so "noble" is actually because he doesn't regard the earth as his home at all.

Wei Xiaobao had already made a plan in his heart, as long as he explored the Crossing Technique, he would leave here immediately and return to the time and space of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", and at that time, anything that happened on the earth would have nothing to do with him. Therefore, he was only interested in the traversal technique, and he didn't care too much about the rights and wrongs of the various countries on the earth.

It is precisely because of this that, on the surface, Wei Xiaobao seems to be an open-minded person with an open mind and a heart for the world. Coupled with the fact that he has indeed made a lot of great contributions to all mankind in the past few decades, most people have a very high opinion of Wei Xiaobao, and most countries hope that Wei Xiaobao will continue to serve as the chief leader.

After all, if there is a change of the supreme leader of the earth, no one knows whether the stable situation that the earth has managed to maintain in the past twenty years will be able to continue to be maintained.

As a result, in the election conference of the third chief of the alliance held in March 2088, more than 90% of the countries voted for Wei Xiaobao, and in the end, Wei Xiaobao was re-elected as the chief leader of the alliance with a high vote without any suspense, becoming the third chief leader of the alliance state.

In fact, Wei Xiaobao is not too interested in the chief alliance leader, and it is really a very painful thing to worry about the nearly 10 billion people around the world every day.

However, in order to find the "new energy" suitable for the "Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3", he had to be aggrieved, grit his teeth and hold on a little longer, and continue to stay in the highest position in the world.

After being re-elected as the chief league leader, on April 2, 2088, Wei Xiaobao approached Yin Weijian and wanted to talk to him about finding "new energy".

……

Chrono Science and Technology City, the 10th floor of the Confederate State Building, the office of the League Chief.

Tang Xiaosheng, Wei Xiaobao, and Ouyang Ke sat on three invisible space chairs, and on a suspended table in front of them, there were more than a dozen side dishes: Longjing shrimp, called flower chicken, winter melon cup, red simmered shark's fin, rock sugar Xianglian, fish-flavored shredded pork, boiled dried shredded chicken soup, stewed crab roe, duck wrapped fish and some vegetarian dishes.

In addition, there are two bottles of 200-year-old Wuliangye.

The three of them gathered around the table with food and wine, eating and drinking, and chatting at the same time.

In fact, in the year 2088, human eating habits have changed dramatically. Most people have avoided "traditional foods" such as meals, vegetables, meat and soups, and instead eat "nutritious energy pills".

"Nutritional Energy Pills" can not only provide the energy needed by the human body, but also meet the body's needs for various nutrients. Every day, the smart medical system will conduct a quick physical examination of each person, check the status of various nutrients in the body, and provide a "dietary supplement recommendation" that is most beneficial to health.

As long as people buy the corresponding nutritional energy pills according to the dietary advice provided by the smart medical system, they can keep their bodies in the healthiest state.

Therefore. Most people usually only eat energy nutrition pills for three meals, because this is the most scientific way of eating.

However, Tang Xiaosheng, Wei Xiaobao, and Ouyang Ke still decided to eat some side dishes eaten by humans decades ago today, not for anything else, just to miss the past and relive the way they used to live.

"Wuliangye is really good wine, I haven't drunk it for two years." Ouyang Ke took a sip of the 200-year-old Wuliangye and sighed. In order to prolong his life, he began to try to quit drinking more than ten years ago.

"Two years is nothing, I've had five years." Wei Xiaobao stroked his gray beard. Said with emotion. "Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, we're all old."

Tang Xiaosheng smiled: "Actually, it's not that time flies fast, but that we are too busy." Too busy to forget that time exists. ”

"Yes! I originally thought that after the 'Moonlight Treasure Box No. 3' came out. We'll be able to go back. Who would have thought that there would be a shortage of energy. Ouyang Ke put down his wine glass and looked at Tang Xiaosheng. Asked, "Old Yin, how are you going to find 'new energy'?" Can you find it? ”

"If you can find it, you don't have to find it!" Tang Xiaosheng said, "It's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to heaven to make things happen, anyway, try to find them." ”

"The three of us don't have much time, so we can't put it off any longer. How are you going to find it? Wei Xiaobao asked curiously.

In Tang Xiaosheng's eyes, the so-called "new energy" is actually the "strange energy" that Azhu once said.

According to Azhu, this "strange energy" can destroy human souls in an instant, and it is precisely because of this that there are no ghosts on earth.

According to this characteristic of "strange energy", Tang Xiaosheng felt that the best place to find "strange energy" was the hospital. Because in the hospital, people die every day, and when these people die, their souls are destroyed by "strange energy".

The "strange energy" is invisible and invisible, and the moment it destroys the soul is the only way to make it "appear".

Therefore, in order to study the "strange energy", Tang Xiaosheng felt that he could control it in the hospital and collect a large amount of "strange energy" to destroy the phenomenon of the soul. Then, starting from the phenomenon, I hope to be able to follow the vine and find the essence of "strange energy" from the surface to the inside.

Thinking of this, Tang Xiaosheng said: "A few years ago, I once discovered a 'strange energy' related to the soul, which will appear after a person dies. Therefore, I am ready to look for this 'strange energy' in the hospital, hoping that it will be what we are looking for. ”

"Hospital?" Hearing what he said, Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but be happy, it seemed that Yin Weijian already had an idea in his heart, and immediately asked, "Then what preparations do we need to make?" ”

The "strange energy" is shadowless and formless, and the soul is also shadowless and formless, and its existence cannot be detected by the naked eye or ordinary instruments. Fortunately, from Nie Xiaoqian's "Human Soulology", Tang Xiaosheng developed an instrument that can detect and record the soul according to the structural characteristics of the soul, called "soul monitor".

With this device, called the Soul Monitor, it can record the process by which the soul is torn apart by "strange energy" once a soul appears. In this way, it is possible to gather information about the soul and the "strange energy".

In order to receive as much information as possible, Tang Xiaosheng said to Ouyang Ke: "Lao Ke, now we need to make an instrument called 'Soul Monitor' and install it in the hospital. These instruments are the key to discovering 'exotic energy'. ”

Ouyang Ke nodded: "How many of these instruments do you need?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng explained: "The more the merrier! It would be desirable for all hospitals around the world to have such 'soul monitors' in order to have a more complete picture of the 'Strange Energy'. ”

"Okay!"

"Also, the matter of the 'soul monitor' must be kept secret. If humans are made aware that after their death, the soul message will be destroyed, which may cause riots. ”

"Understood."

……

Ouyang Ke's efficiency is still quite high.

The next day, Ouyang Ke took out a huge amount of 7 trillion US dollars to make a "soul monitor". A soul monitor costs about $100 million, and $7 trillion can develop about 70,000 devices.

$7 trillion is a huge amount of money, both for an individual and for a country.

However, for Ouyang Ke, the money is just a drop in the bucket. For more than 50 years, he has been the richest man in the world. After the establishment of the alliance country in the world, the Chrono Science and Technology City became the only economic center in the world, and Ouyang Ke became the world's largest beneficiary, and a large amount of global funds poured into his pocket.

Today, in 2088, Ouyang Ke has long been unaware of how much money he has, and he doesn't bother to calculate how much money he has, in his eyes, money is no longer valuable.

Still, the money is quite useful.

After investing $7 trillion, 70,000 "soul monitors" were manufactured in less than three months. After that, Ouyang Ke hired 100,000 engineers and installed 70,000 soul monitors in 20,000 hospitals around the world in a week.

After the installation of the soul monitor, the research on "strange energy" began in earnest. (To be continued......)
