After receiving the news, Luo Jinyong dropped the work at hand and immediately rushed to the airport. When he arrived at the airport, he realized that he was too anxious.

"Professor, there is still more than an hour, do you need to arrange a temporary work location?" Because the stakes were so high, Yang Fanglie asked Wei Longzheng to accompany him throughout the process. Wei Longzheng knew that Luo Jinyong was busy day and night, and it could be said that he had no free time at all.

"No, let me sit alone for a while."

Wei Longzheng nodded, didn't bother Luo Jinyong anymore, and let the others leave the pilot's lounge. In the past two years, Luo Jinyong has worked day and night, rarely stopping to think about problems. It is not necessarily a bad thing to have a rare free time, so that he can think quietly alone.

There are indeed many questions that Luo Jinyong needs to think about.

Chu Tianjiang entered the Y celestial body and merged into that sphere, but he was alive and did not lose his self-consciousness, which made Luo Jinyong find it difficult to understand. Although during the correspondence, Chu Tianjiang mentioned some changes in his body and told the dream in the Y celestial body, which made Luo Jinyong have an extremely bold idea, but before seeing Chu Tianjiang and figuring out the changes in Chu Tianjiang, Luo Jinyong couldn't be sure if this idea was correct.

This is that Chu Tianjiang has undergone a qualitative change!

After the appearance of the Y celestial body, Luo Jinyong thought that no matter how advanced the technology of extraterrestrial civilizations is, as long as the speed of light cannot be surpassed, it is difficult to cross the long distances between star systems. Although no one knows how dense the intelligent civilizations are in the universe, that is, what is the average distance between the star systems where the two adjacent intelligent civilizations are located, after the completion of the Hubble-2 telescope, human beings have been able to spy on all the star systems within 500 light years, find out the terrestrial planets in these star systems, and determine whether there is a natural environment suitable for life to thrive through the distance between the planets and the stars. Unfortunately, in 500 light-years, none of the terrestrial planets happened to be in the life zone. Five hundred light-years is far enough for any civilization. Even if the home of an extraterrestrial civilization is exactly 500 light-years away from the solar system, and it will take a full 500 years to reach the solar system if they have mastered the art of flying at the speed of light. A civilization that has entered the industrial age has a great possibility of making a major scientific and technological breakthrough within 500 years and reaching the scientific and technological level of its neighbors.

This assertion just confirms that the Y celestial body is an energy body, not a material body.

However, this assertion cannot prove whether the Y celestial body is a technological device made by an extraterrestrial civilization, or an extraterrestrial intelligent life itself.

Although Luo Jinyong feels unbelievable about the intelligent life that exists apart from matter, the scientific and technological development of human beings itself has proved in disguise that wisdom is not based on matter, but on information, and any form of wisdom can be explained by information. Matter is the carrier of information, and energy is also the carrier of information, so it is very likely that a highly developed intelligent civilization is based on energy, not matter.

The point is, it is very likely that the speed of energy is not limited by the speed of light.

According to Einstein's wormhole theory, only when the diameter of the wormhole is large enough can matter pass through, and the existence time of the wormhole is inversely proportional to the diameter, and the larger the diameter of the wormhole, the shorter the existence time of the wormhole, so short that it cannot allow an elementary particle to pass through completely. In order for a wormhole to exist long enough, it would have to shrink in diameter, and the only thing that can reach the other side of the universe through a small wormhole is energy.

In order to travel through space and reach other star systems, even if extraterrestrial civilizations were originally material life, they will evolve into energy life driven by technology.

So, is the Y object extraterrestrial intelligent life, or the carrier of extraterrestrial intelligence?

Luo Jinyong thought of this possibility, but he was not sure. Chu Tianjiang's experience made him confirm this speculation. There was a question that Luo Jinyong couldn't figure out anyway, Chu Tianjiang not only did not die after entering the Y celestial body, but also maintained his self-consciousness!

If the Y object is extraterrestrial intelligent life, or is it a carrier of intelligence, can it accommodate another intelligent life?

Other things that happened to Chu Tianjiang made Luo Jinyong find it even more difficult to explain. For example, the Y celestial body has created a realistic illusion, if it weren't for the fact that Chu Tianjiang had no children and never named his future children, I am afraid that Chu Tianjiang would be lost in the illusion. For example, after the Y celestial body entered the center of the earth, it only left the sphere fused with Chu Tianjiang in the sinkhole, did it want Chu Tianjiang to survive?

Luo Jinyong knew that only when he saw Chu Tianjiang could he find out the answer.

Perhaps, Chu Tianjiang forgot something, or something was not good to say on the phone. Luo Jinyong believes that Chu Tianjiang has other encounters.

When Luo Jinyong was thinking about the problem, time passed quickly.

"Professor, they've arrived."

"Let's go!" Luo Jinyong was not wordy, and went out to get into the airport commuter bus with Wei Long.

In the aftermath of the disaster, the military took over the undamaged airports throughout the country, which were restored and put into operation, making it easy to move around the airport.

After the small business plane landed, it quickly left the runway, and Wei Longzheng also drove over in a commuter car.

In the national rescue and disaster relief work, all airports are operating at full capacity, and transport planes and flights take off and land at any time, so they have to vacate the runway as soon as possible.

When Chu Tianjiang stepped down from the plane, Luo Jinyong took a closer look.

At this time, Chu Tianjiang had already put away the Doomsday Warrior system, wore a set of army field uniforms without epaulettes, and wore a beret, looking like an ordinary special soldier.

"Professor, don't know me anymore?"

"It's changed a lot, I look more than ten years younger."

Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "You go and find out my ID photo when I joined the army, and you can recognize me." ”

"You mean, you're now what you looked like when you were eighteen?"

Chu Tianjiang nodded and said, "I don't believe it either, but after looking in the mirror, I realized that I had returned to thirteen years ago." ”

"Get in the car." Wei Longzheng greeted a few people.

"Where are we going now?"

Instead of leaving the airport, the commuter bus headed for the open space where the helicopter was parked.

"Xuanwu Strategic Command Center, we have to take a helicopter over."

"Mr. Yang is over there too?"

Wei Longzheng nodded and said, "However, Mr. Yang is attending the meeting of the chief of staff, and he is probably already arguing with Stark. ”

"Japan's business?" Yuan Dezhi asked.

"What else could there be? Soon after you went to Gwadar Port, General Yang raised it at the meeting of the chiefs of general staff, but Stark pretended to be deaf and dumb and refused to talk directly about the handling of Japanese state-owned property. This time it was Mr. Yang who convened the meeting, and if he didn't talk about it, I was afraid that he would break up. ”

Yuan Dezhi sighed secretly and didn't ask any more. Obviously, Yang Fanglie had already made up his mind and didn't want to continue to deal with Stark and the others.

"Professor, my business ......" Chu Tianjiang pulled the topic back. Like Luo Jinyong, he also wanted to know what changes had happened to Lu Dao.

"Let's talk about it when we get to the base."

got on the helicopter and didn't say anything all the way. Arriving at the Xuanwu Strategic Command Center, Wei Longzheng went to report the situation to Yang Fanglie, Yuan Dezhi went to deal with intelligence work, Liu Zhanbo and Luo Jinyong arranged a biologist to test the collected DNA samples, and Luo Jinyong took Chu Tianjiang to the experimental center.

"How big is this place?"

"It can accommodate tens of thousands of people, but now there are only a few thousand, and most of them are scientific researchers."

"Moved the research center?"

Luo Jinyong nodded and said, "After the catastrophe, we carried out a nationwide evacuation, and the scientific research center originally located in the Military Intelligence Bureau was also relocated. ”

Entering the office, Luo Jinyong closed the door.

"Professor......

"Lao Chu, are there some things you haven't told me?"

"The point, I told you on the phone. I'll go into detail from beginning to end. ”

Luo Jinyong nodded and started the recording equipment. Chu Tianjiang told the whole story from jumping into the sinkhole to appearing in the cave. Although a lot of details have been added, the most important part has been made clear by Chu Tianjiang in the previous phone call.

"That's all, what haven't you forgotten?"

"No, you don't have to doubt my memory."

Luo Jinyong touched his chin and thought for a while, and said, "How long was that time in the dream?" ”

"I don't know what to do." Chu Tianjiang smiled bitterly, "Professor, do you have a sense of time when you dream?" It seems that no one dreams with a definite sense of time. ”

"That's true, but I think you're overlooking a lot of important things."

"Impossible......"

"To be precise, you've done something subconsciously, and your subjective mind doesn't know it. It's like a sleepwalker who doesn't know what Lu Dao is doing while sleepwalking. ”

"This ......"

"Lao Liu should have mentioned to you that he found some blood stains in the sinkhole, and it is not far from the sphere you are in. We deduce that the Yankees took the lead and sent people down to the sinkhole before Lao Liu arrived, and tried to get close to the sphere, but there was an accident. ”

Chu Tianjiang thought for a while and said, "I really can't remember. ”

"That's a subconscious action you made, and you definitely can't remember it."

"Is there a way to make me remember?"

"Yes."

"What's the solution?" Chu Tianjiang looked very anxious.

"Hypnosis." Luo Jinyong smiled and said, "It's not for you to stare at the swinging pocket watch. I have prepared a set of equipment, combined with some medications, can put you into a deep sleep, that is, hypnosis, to awaken your subconscious. Rest assured, there will be no danger. ”

"What if there's danger? Hurry up, I want to know what happened to Lu Dao. ”

The two went to the next room, Luo Jinyong locked the door, activated the video and recording equipment, and then let Chu Tianjiang lie down in the device and put on a mask for inhaling hypnotic drugs.
