Ji Renrui: They were the last to get on the spaceship, and they took the "Crystal Ball". This is a new model of ship with a transparent shell, and it is possible to observe the scene directly through the bulkhead. In synchronous orbit, thirty-five spacecraft have been arranged in a departure formation, each in a group of three, with the three ships close to each other and the groups pulling farther apart. This is an invention of Tian Mi and Xi Mingzhe. When they were developing formation flight technology, they found that since this kind of wormhole flight dragged about ten ships long in the "local space" behind the spacecraft, if several spacecraft were parked in this space close to each other, they should be able to be "checked in for free", just as the flock of geese at the back of the geese formation could fly with the help of the air currents caused by the head geese. They experimented with this completely new way of flying and proved that it was completely feasible. However, for the sake of safety, only one head goose is allowed to fly two companions.

Tian Mi was on the "Kuafu" at the front, and said in an impassioned tone: "The wedding fleet is about to set sail. Mr. Haley, President of the Aerospace Association, please announce the departure order! ”

General Haley is over ninety years old, and his body is thin, but his voice is still very loud: "I announce that the wedding fleet is now set sail!" I would also like to declare that the real space age of mankind begins now! ”

A cloud of white light erupted from the heads of the twelve ships, and the fleet slowly set off, bursts of cheers erupted from inside the ships at the same time. The head and tail of each spacecraft also burst out horizontally with blue light, which is a conventional power to make the spacecraft rotate to create artificial gravity, because today's crew members are not professionally trained, and long-term weightlessness will cause physical discomfort. Ships with transparent shells are also made opaque to prevent the crew from feeling dizzy when the hull rotates. In the "Crystal Ball" spaceship, when the gravity almost reached the earth's gravity, Hailey walked over smoothly and shook hands with Ji Renrui:

"Mr. Ji, I admire you very much. You are the trendsetter of the new era. ”

Ji Renrui smiled and said, "It's you who make the tide!" President of the Aerospace Association! ”

Haley also smiled: "I'm just an ornament." But I'm glad that my antique vase can still come in handy. Ji, your point-grabbing layout is timely, but—" He looked at Debirov and Sima Deru meaningfully, "This is what the 'Friends of Joy' deserve." ”

Of course, the two knew the meaning of his words, but they were current officials, so they couldn't talk casually, they just smiled and didn't respond.

Dozens of reporters flocked to interview Ji Renrui, he smiled and waved his hand, "No, no, please don't forget that today is a wedding, I am neither a newcomer nor a wedding host, and I will definitely not be the protagonist." The reporters were still unrelenting, and one female reporter shouted: "But everyone knows that you are the protagonist behind the scenes!" This wedding is actually a military parade in the space age, and the 'Friends of Music' is the conductor behind the scenes! Ji Renrui smiled and looked at the female reporter—she just said what she intended—still smiling and waving her hand, "This is just what you said, 'Friends of Le' will never dare to boast like this." Oh, by the way, you can interview Mr. Kang, who is one of the initiators and sponsors of this event, and his company is about to develop a landable Mach 100 million spacecraft, which is bound to become a sign of a new era. I can also reveal a little secret to you: this guy doesn't have a good mouth, and you can go to him if you want to dig up any news material. ”

The reporters knew that they couldn't dig up anything from Ji Renrui today, so they turned to besiege Kangping. As an entrepreneur, he would not let go of this opportunity, so he talked with great interest surrounded by reporters.

In the ship's annular gravitational field, the crew is distributed around the circumference of the circular hull, with their heads facing the ship's axis. At the pivot, the hologram shows the formation of the fleet. The fleet is currently flying intermittently, so they are all visible and can also telemetry each other, and each spacecraft adjusts the excitation parameters at any time according to the formation flight technology developed by Tian Mi, and the distance and azimuth between the ships are strictly consistent. Once the state is stable, these excitation parameters are fixed so that they can be used to maintain the exact formation of the fleet in future blind flights.

In the age of chemodynamics, a trip to Mars is quite long, lasting months or even years. But today, even with intermittent flights, it's only a two-hour journey. Mars quickly grew in size in the hologram and then came to view in the blink of an eye. The spacecraft stopped its wormhole flight and switched to conventional power and entered the polar orbit of Mars, which was chosen so that everyone could see the whole of Mars. Each spacecraft pointed their cameras at the ground, and Tian Mi on the first spacecraft acted as a commentator:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're over Mars. Now we have the Tarsis Plateau at our feet, and to the east of it is the famous Mariner Canyon, which is 4,000 kilometers long and occupies a fifth of the circumference of Mars! Well, now you see the famous Mount Olympus, the highest mountain on the planets of the solar system, 217,000 meters high, almost three times the highest peak on Earth! This is because there is less gravity on Mars, and mountains can grow very tall. However, from the outside, it is not tall at all, but a gentle shield-shaped volcano...... Now it is the northern lowlands, which were formed by meteorite impacts...... Look, we've reached the polar crest, and there's a lot of ice here, which, if it melts, could cover the entire surface of Mars with eleven meters of water. Therefore, if we live on Mars in the future, we don't have to worry about fresh water...... Now, passing not far away is Phobos, an irregularly shaped guy who is not as beautiful as our moon...... Please enjoy the beautiful polar clouds, and the blue clouds on the edge of Mars......"

The fleet circled Mars in two hours and saw the most famous sights. Tian Mi said: "Unfortunately, the current spacecraft is not suitable for landing on Mars, so we can only take you on a fancy tour." By the time your kids are in elementary school, they'll be able to host a summer camp on Mars, hold a low-gravity long jump competition, enjoy a bonfire under a two-moon sky, or organize a mountaineering expedition to the highest peak in the solar system. Today we can also give you a small gift, grooms, hug your angels, kick the floor, and fly! ”

Thirty-five spacecraft light up at the same time with a horizontal blue light at the end of the spacecraft, which is decelerating the rotation. The spacecraft flew outward at the same time, out of the gravity of Mars. The weight of the people is getting lighter, and finally someone can't wait, and the couple hugs and kicks the floor, and then staggers upward. They laughed loudly in the air and kissed passionately. The bride's wedding dress was fluffier in a gravity-free environment, and soon all the space of the spaceship was occupied by the white wedding dress. The people who ascended to the center of the ship from all directions began to meet, and it was inevitable that there would be a collision, which provoked even greater laughter. Tian Mi's husband was Capdevilla, a passionate Spaniard who was supposed to shine on such an occasion, but he was now sticking to his post as captain on the third ship, so he had to shout on the ship's intercom:

"Tian Mi, it's a pity that I can't hug my angel at this time, give you a kiss!"

The "poof" sound in the intercom once again aroused a wave of laughter. There were relatively few newcomers in the "Crystal Ball", and there were a few more old couples, who also hugged and flew in the air, including Miao Qi and Ji Renrui. Miao Qi was as excited as a young man today, laughed and said:

"Ren Rui, I should also wear a wedding dress today!"

"yes, I'm sorry I forgot about it beforehand. It's okay, I'll make it up for you when I get married! ”

Weightlessness is temporary, as there is a fear that the newcomers will have limited endurance. The spaceship began to rotate, radial gravity slowly generated, and the wedding dresses of the ship slowly fell to the ground. The fleet began to return home, this time without stopping, at Mach 1.8, and returning to Earth in nine minutes. On the way back, the newlyweds were still immersed in the previous excitement, hugging and whispering tightly. Suddenly, the ship aborted its wormhole flight and began its regular powered flight, and people felt like they were leaning back. Holograms have also been restored, with the blue Earth replacing the desolate Mars. The hundreds of millions of viewers on Earth watching the live broadcast first saw the fleet return, and four minutes later, the image of the fleet setting sail from Mars was transmitted back to Earth.

The crew of the "Crystal Ball" was the first to return to the surface in the "Little Bee". They hugged each other with the welcoming crowd on the ground, and then stayed at the launch site until they saw off all the newcomers. Many excited brides can't help but rush up to offer a fragrant kiss to the organizers of this wedding. There are also many grooms who excitedly said to Ji Renrui: "From now on, we will be astronauts!" And our children! ”

Their admiration for Ji Renrui is beyond words. Lu Junding looked at this scene and said with a smile: "Ren Rui, I once said that you will become a Chan sooner or later; Later, he said, I didn't expect you to become a wild dragon; Later, he said, I didn't expect you to be a wild dragon and make such a big cloud. You've got bigger clouds today! ”

Miao Ji's face was ruddy from excitement, and she seemed to have returned to her girlhood. She said to her husband, "With today, my wish when I was young has come true." ”

Ji Renrui knew what her wish was, but deliberately asked, "What wish?" ”

Miao Qi was very frank, "That's the one - I want to be at least the wife of the vice premier." ”

Ji Renrui said with a smile: "But I'm just the president of a civil engineering academy, and I don't have an official position like Bi Ma Wen." ”

Miao Qi just smiled and tightened her husband's arm.

Ji Renrui and his wife returned to Xixia, China by "Little Bee", and asked his son and daughter-in-law to accompany his mother home, and he went directly to Chu Tianle's house. In this paragraph, he really hasn't communicated well with Chu Tianle and Yu Leshui, and now he has to make up for this lesson immediately. In fact, it is a bit wronged to say that there is no communication, he has communicated informally, but Tianle seems to be in a bad state and did not react as he should. Perhaps, his condition did affect intelligence?

Although he has cultivated enough concentration in sixty-four years of life, Ji Renrui is inevitably a little excited today. Since Noah went into space, mankind has entered the faster-than-light space age, but at that time, people were only focused on resisting catastrophe and did not fully realize this. After that, thanks to the promotion of Tianle, Pauli, Kang Lao and others, science and technology have taken a big step forward. After the advent of the Mach 100 million spacecraft, space within 300,000 light-years will enter a "one-day traffic circle" and become the outskirts of the earth's capital. This technology, along with the already mature fusion technology, eliminates the threat of energy depletion once and for all, and there is no need to worry about this problem until all hydrogen-rich planets in the universe are exhausted. Another seemingly minor invention – the manufacture of building materials from garbage – is in fact equally profound: the course of human civilization has always been a struggle between science and entropy, progress and cost, a problem that was once thought to be incapable of being solved by science, and that the splendor of civilization will eventually be buried in the ruins of entropy. But now, through the second-order vacuum excitation method, the energy-free material reconstruction has been realized, and this problem has been solved once and for all in an instant! In the past, the light of technology was forever followed by a dark shadow, and now it is completely gone! Science has become transparent and brilliant.

It is not modest to say that mankind has been able to come to this day, and the "Friends of Happiness" has made great contributions. It has given a powerful impetus to the ship of the times, so it also has the responsibility to grasp the course of the future.

Tianle and his wife stayed quietly at home to watch the live broadcast. Hearing the landing of the "little bee", Le Shui greeted the door and said with a smile:

"I know you're coming. We have prepared your favorite Peking duck and your favorite Fenjiu in advance. She led Ji into the house and said to the nanny, "Sister-in-law Xu, stir-fry." ”

Tianle came over with an electric wheelchair and greeted him with a smile. Ji Renrui said: "Take this opportunity before the meal, let me briefly talk about a few things. ”

He succinctly described the recent "big move" and then said, "Leshui, you dissuaded me when Abikar wanted me to be the permanent secretary of the SCAC. I knew your intentions at the time - you didn't want me to be tainted in power. I appreciate your kindness......"

Yu Leshui smiled and said, "It's serious." I've never worried you're going to get dirty, I trust your determination. ”

Ji Renrui shook his head with a smile and continued his topic: "But now the situation is different. The new situation has once again put the 'Friends of Joy' in the position of the 'Heavenly Hub', and put the power of the space age in our hands. God doesn't take it, but suffers the blame! If the desire for power is combined with nobility, it is the most perfect treasure, and only by holding it can you be a hero who leads the times. ”

Tianle spoke: "Brother Ji, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. Leshui and I haven't thought so far yet, but ...... It's a long story. ”

Tianle and his wife looked at each other, they had obviously talked about a certain issue thoroughly, and at this moment Le Shui's expression was slightly sad. Ji Renrui's reaction was sharp enough, and he guessed the truth of the matter in an instant-his own point-grabbing layout was built on a brilliant and bright era, but--maybe such a brilliant era has not come, and the road ahead is still covered by the dark shadow of the catastrophe.

His heart sank into darkness.

3

Some time ago, when Ji Renrui was supervising those major matters, Chu Tianle really stayed out of the matter, and he didn't even bother with the development of the new spaceship. Without saying hello to his wife, he gathered a dozen biologists, brain physiologists and artificial intelligence experts alone for a day's meeting behind closed doors. Since the last time she listened to her husband's ominous words, Yu Leshui has always kept her husband in sight, and of course she will not let go of this meeting. After the meeting, she stopped the conference's chief scientist, Professor Elaine of the Weizmann Institute in Israel. This is a forty-year-old Russian-Jewish beauty, with a ruddy complexion, full breasts, and a pair of blue eyes. She was a fanatical scientist who never married, because she was "already married to the god of science in her youth" - from this sentence, it is clear that the god of science in her mind is male. Yu Leshui pretended to ask casually:

"Hello Professor, I didn't come to the meeting today. Can you give us a brief overview of the meeting? ”

Professor Elaine was not wary, and immediately enthusiastically introduced the content of the meeting, saying that today Chu Tianle was seriously discussing the possibility of brain survival in vitro. In the past few decades, medicine has developed rapidly, and it has achieved long-term survival of dog brains in vitro. In fact, experiments on chimpanzee brains are more comparable to those of humans, but they have not been carried out due to ethical restrictions (there is a consensus in the scientific community that animal experiments are generally not allowed on animals that are close to humans, such as chimpanzees). The detached dog brain can be more easily replenished with nutrients, and it can be easily entered and released from hibernation, so the level of its intellectual activity is greatly improved, and the survival life can be extended tenfold. The difficulty lies in the input and output of brain information, although it has been possible to encode visual and auditory signals into the input, and the brain output signals can be deciphered by computers, but it is only a low-level, "Einstein's thought process cannot be deciphered in the short term." The professor jokingly said.

In fact, she said, a less pure, less difficult alternative is to survive the skull in vitro. The latter can take advantage of the sight, hearing, and speech abilities of the original, so that there are no input and output bottlenecks mentioned above. Skull survival is carried out by simply connecting the blood vessels and nerves of the original head to the parent machine, which is quite easy to implement. Of course, because it also uses extracerebral organs, its thinking is not absolutely efficient. After listening to everyone's introduction, Mr. Chu preferred the second option......

"What do you say? My husband is going to keep the head alive out of the body? Yu Leshui asked in surprise.

It was only then that the female scientist, who was extremely wise in her profession, realized that something was wrong. "Is it ......," she asked carefully, "that your husband has not consulted you beforehand?" He said that his sick body may not last long, but his responsibility is not over. So we're happy to help him and help our god of science. ”

As she spoke, she caught a glimpse of her husband driving his wheelchair out of the conference room, calmly watching herself talk to Professor Elaina. She smiled, "You have discussed it with me, but I haven't agreed yet." As you can imagine, I certainly prefer a complete husband. ”

Professor Elaine smiled, "Of course, of course. It doesn't matter, we are still in the retreat stage, and when the surgery actually begins, we must obtain the consent of the family for the operation. ”

It was the first day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, the day when relatives worshiped the dead. The Chu couple were thorough materialists and had never made offerings or anything, but they took a simplified ritual very seriously. Yu Leshui put the statue in the second old house and lit two sticks of incense. After the death of the mother-in-law, this room was always kept for them, and now, in the swirling of two smokes, the second elder looked at them with a smile. Tianle also stared at the second elder silently, Yu Leshui bowed three times, and said with a smile:

"Mom, don't worry. Tianle has already put forward the idea of a Mach 100 million spaceship, and if it succeeds, it will be able to rescue Liu Ye Yangyang. ”

She pushed her husband out of the door, summoned the grass that was playing outside, and came to the new grave without a monument not far away. Here rests Chu Tianle's father, he was a deserter in front of his terminally ill son when he was young, and he was tormented by conscience all his life, and in his later years, he couldn't resist the call of family affection and finally came to find his wife and children, just in time to save Tianle's life. Now, although his bones are gone, his mind should be very safe.

The fish and water let the grass light the incense and worship it in front of the spirit. The three of them bowed three times to the grave. Cao'er whispered, "Grandpa, rest in peace." Mom and Dad say you're a good grandfather. ”

The murderer's grave was not far from here, and they made a memorial service for him by the way. Over time, their hatred for the murderer has faded, and what remains is more of pity.

After the ceremony, Tianle asked Sister-in-law Xu to take the grass away to play, and said to his wife: "I want to visit a welfare factory in the civil affairs system, you can accompany me." ”

This matter was a bit abrupt, but Yu Leshui didn't ask too much and quickly arranged for helicopters and cars. This welfare factory is in a town not far away, and it is jointly run by the civil administration system and the Christian church, and the female factory director, surnamed Bai, is a Christian. She didn't expect that the well-known Chu couple would come to the factory in person, and under surprise, they received them warmly. In the office, she introduced the situation of the welfare factory. The factory was small and had forty-three workers, all of whom were disabled and mentally retarded. The product is also very simple, it is a bucket and basin of recycled plastic, etc., and there is no technical content; In addition, the productivity of these special workers is relatively low, so the factory is at a loss, and it has to rely on the support of the civil administration and the church to survive. She led the Chu couple to visit the production workshop. Although the equipment here is simple, the management is okay, the environmental protection measures are in place, and there is no peculiar smell in the process of plastic hot pressing in the workshop. Dozens of workers, though visibly clumsy, were all very engaged. Chu Tianle visited it silently and said to the factory director:

"Trouble the factory director, can you introduce a few mentally retarded people?"

Director Bai called a worker from the side. This is a typical congenital stupid patient, with a round face, small cleft eyes, squinted eyes, small and low ears, short neck, short stature, and swaying walking, which appears to have loose muscles. He looked at the director with a dull gaze flatteringly. Director Bai asked kindly:

"Erbao, how are you doing today? Can you get a safflower? ”

Erbao nodded vigorously and said incoherently, "Sure!" ”

Director Bai said to the guests: "We have to put red flowers on the blackboard every day. They did a good job, almost every person got a red flower every day. Who will cry bitterly when they don't get it? She turned back to the man and said, "Erbao, can you write your name to the guest?" ”

Erbao nodded again and again, took the pen handed by Director Bai, and worked hard to write the three words "Ding Erbao". However, the word "Bao" is lying horizontally. Director Bai praised him, and he left in high spirits. Director Bai smiled helplessly: "I have corrected it many times, but the word 'bao' is still lying down, and I simply don't correct it." ”

She called two more and introduced them. Chu Tianle pointed to a middle-aged man not far away and asked, "That should also be a mentally retarded person, I think his limbs are all sound." ”

Director Bai hurriedly shook his hand and whispered, "Don't let him hear it." This is a special mentally handicapped person, who used to be the CEO and chief engineer of a technology-based enterprise, and the company is quite prosperous, and has generously funded our factory many times. Later, he unfortunately contracted a brain tumor, and his intelligence was greatly reduced after surgery. In fact, with his financial resources, he can stay at home and be cared for by a special person. But he offered to come here, but the family couldn't resist it, so he came. I guess maybe he made a deep impression of this place when he funded our factory? When he came here, he could only do the simplest jobs, but I always felt that he still had some memories of his old life. Sometimes he would fall into deep thought, trying to remember, and when he couldn't remember, he would have a seizure and make some manic moves. We treated him with special care. ”

Chu Tianle asked in a low voice, "Can I go over and have a look?" ”

"Yes, he was in a better mood today. But it's best not to say anything after you've passed. ”

The Chu couple went over and observed silently. The worker was neatly dressed and had a well-maintained face, which was clearly different from the worker next to him, and did not look like a mentally retarded person. But when he looked up at this side, it was obviously not the clear gaze of a normal person, but the dazed and cringe peculiar to mentally retarded people. He's threading wire handles for buckets, and he's doing it seriously. The Chu couple looked at him silently, pity and respect. The fact that this mentally handicapped man took the initiative to come here as a worker shows that he is not willing to be a waste and that he still maintains the dignity of the year. The man looked up at the guest from time to time, and it was evident that the gaze of the two guests had disturbed him. His uneasiness was clearly growing, and he looked up at his guests more and more often. Director Bai realized it and hurriedly motioned for the two guests to leave, when the man suddenly asked:

"Are they going to test me to read and write? I haven't forgotten. ”

There was fear in his expression. Director Bai reacted quickly and said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Lin, they know that you have not forgotten to read and write, and it is not easy, so they want to test you." ”

She took out a notepad and motioned for the guest to write a few simple words, and Yu Leshui wrote the words "people, days, and days", and the person recognized them smoothly. Director Bai and Yu Leshui praised him in unison, and his expression slowly turned to harmony.

On the way back to the office, Director Bai said with emotion that one of the most fearful things for this mentally handicapped person now is that he will forget to write and recognize, so that he feels that he has become a real waste, "In fact, he has indeed forgotten most of the Chinese characters, and we can only circle twenty or thirty of the simplest words, ask often, and constantly strengthen his memory, which can be regarded as a comfort to him." The Chu couple were very moved, and from the details of Director Bai's name "Mr. Lin" just now, they also deeply felt Director Bai's good intentions.

Before leaving, Chu Tianle left a check for 500,000 yuan, and Director Bai thanked him again and again, and Chu Tianle said sincerely:

"You're welcome, it's you who should be thanked. Disability and intellectual disability are all inexpensable human suffering, and in this sense, it can be said that these disabled people are suffering in place of normal people. You care for them and take this as a lifelong career, and Leshui and I thank you. ”

Director Bai's eyes were red, and he clasped his palms in thanks.

On the way back, both of them were relatively dull. As soon as they got home, they quickly turned on the TV, which was showing the Martian wedding. There is enthusiasm and excitement, although Ji Renrui in the camera has a calm expression, the excitement in his heart cannot be hidden. This is in stark contrast to the dullness of the house. Chu Tianle looked at his wife and said with a smile:

"Leshui, you met Elaine today, you know you have something to say, you can say it."

Yu Leshui jokingly said: "You made me lose face today!" For such a big thing, I won't tell you in advance. I'm so sad. ”

Although it is a joke, it also contains fifty percent seriousness. But Chu Tianle didn't care much, "It's not that serious." I just don't want to irritate you too soon. I'd like to inquire about the possibilities first. If not, then the matter should not be mentioned at all; If it does, I'll tell you right away. ”

"But the results of the consultation are feasible."

"Yes."

"And you've literally scratched Professor Elaina's itch and allowed her to show off her skills."

Chu Tianle heard his wife's dissatisfaction, and still smiled and said, "You are not wrong about this. ”

Yu Leshui turned sideways and looked at him fixedly, looking at him for a long time. She sighed: "Tianle, I want to ......"

Chu Tianle interrupted his wife's words, "Leshui, I know what you think. But some words may be difficult to say, so let me say it, and then you will judge whether it is your inner thoughts. It's kind of a guessing game. ”

He was deliberately lightening up the conversation. Yu Leshui responded, smiled and said, "Okay, let's start the game." ”

"You and I believe in my godfather's words: people live to enjoy the pleasure of living, not to escape death. In the process of being alive, anything done in order to survive is natural and reasonable. So far, you and I have no disagreement, but then the disagreement begins. You think that the living subject should be a human being, and not, like a hybrid monster with a human head and a machine body, which you think has lost the meaning of being alive. We might as well define these two types of 'living' as: physical living and conscious living. I believe that in the long run, the survival of humanity should be the latter, and it may have various ways, including a mind that flows in a large unified electronic network. ”

Yu Leshui shook his head, "Those prospects have transcended my heart, I don't want to say anything against or disgust, it's just - leave it to future generations to experience." ”

Chu Tianle's tone suddenly changed sharply, "But the differences I said are extreme. I believe that what I mean by 'being conscious alive' will eventually come true, but that doesn't mean I'm ready to do it. You're right, leave that prospect to posterity. Like you, I want to have a body, and even though this unqualified body has caused me a lot of pain and a lot of less pleasure, including sexual pleasures, I still value it. Leshui, I like you to be by my side, rubbing my skin, tickling my hair, and blowing me softly. Leshui, you don't know how much I value you, some people falsely praise me as a 'friend of music' brain or something, but this brain is nourished by your love to have spirituality. ”

Chu Tianle is generally more introverted and does not open his heart to the outside world, and today's very emotional words, Yu Leshui heard them for the first time. She was so moved that she leaned over and hugged her husband in her arms, and the two enjoyed the resonance of their hearts. After a while, Chu Tianle said:

"But you must ask, why am I going to let the head live out of my body? It was a last resort. ”

Yu Leshui's heart suddenly sank. She couldn't guess what her husband was going to say, but the fear and despair that had been gone crept back again. How is that possible? Human beings have escaped the catastrophe of the collapse of the whole universe, are developing Mach 100 million spaceships, with endless energy, no longer have to worry about environmental pollution, the future is bright, human beings can be said to have begun to enter the realm of God, into the kingdom of freedom, how can it be...... But she knew that the devil was coming again, and that it had something to do with her husband's visit today. The husband looked straight at her, always looking into the depths of her heart, and sighed and said:

"Yes, you guessed it. That Satan didn't really leave. Here it is again, and it is eerily entrenched in the path of humanity, and perhaps it is an even more terrible devil. ”

That night, Chu Tianle recounted in detail another disaster that humanity was about to face.

He said that the space contraction, which began 61 years ago, has greatly increased human intelligence through a certain quantum effect, and according to Proust's verification and Pauli's formula, human intelligence has increased by 45 percent, and it is likely to continue to increase. Human society has achieved a big explosion of science and technology in just 30 years, and both the scientific and technological elite and the general public have fully enjoyed high intelligence and regarded it as a normal thing. However, we already know that this surge is an isolated wave, with a half-cycle of sixty-two years, which will peak after a year, and then the intensity of the contraction will gradually decrease, and the increased human intelligence will gradually decline. Sixty-two years later, space will return to the standard vacuum, and human intelligence will return to pre-cataclysmic levels. At that time, there will no longer be such genius and wisdom as it is today, and the science of human development will still have to bump into each other with poor intellect as it did in the past, like a rat drilling into a labyrinth. Without this surge in intelligence, humanity would not have realized the pitiful nature of its own intelligence. But after experiencing a surge in intelligence and then losing it, how can human beings be embarrassed?!

But this is not a catastrophe, which is followed – followed by an isolated wave of inflation, also over a period of 124 years. What will be the effect on human intelligence when space skyrockets? In fact, the Pauli formula has already predicted, the formula is about origin symmetry, and the shrinkage rate can be replaced by both positive and negative values. The curve has extreme values in the positive and negative ranges, which are:

E_t/E_O=e~±2/3 (E_t/E_O is the ratio of changed intelligence to primitive intelligence);

The specific values are:

The highest increase in intelligence was 94.8%;

The maximum drop in intelligence was 48.7%.

Pauli didn't know that the universe would shrink at the time, so he said that the negative segments were purely mathematical deductions and might not have actual physical significance; But he also said that the formula, though empirical, had a simple and symmetrical beauty, and that, with his intuition, it might be able to be upgraded to a theoretical formula, like Planck's formula of blackbody radiation. If it is a theoretical formula, then the negative segment may have practical physical significance. God is still very kind, he gives an asymmetrical value in a formally symmetrical formula: an increase of 94.8 percent, and a decrease of 48.7 percent, which does not allow civilized creatures to have their intelligence cleared in the space skyrocket—but such a large mental decline is enough to cause technology to be cleared. Perhaps, this kind of technological clearance, which takes roughly a period of 100,000 years, is the real explanation for Fermi's paradox [note 2]? "Pauli's last words before his sacrifice reminded me to pay attention to this formula."

Chu Tianle said again: "Although Pauli didn't know that this cosmic contraction was just an isolated wave, he had an excellent intuition. He muttered to me many times: I am afraid that this very violent spatial contraction will not last, just like an old Chinese saying: its rise is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden. So back then, he was worried about the prospect that a contraction might turn into a boom and that a boom might lead to intellectual decline. Pauli reluctantly said that it was a pity that he could not verify the results of the formula in the negative range with experiments or observations. Previously, there was a fundamental difference between physics and metaphysics - physics has laboratories, and any metaphysical ideas must be verified by experiments. But unfortunately, there are no laboratories left for the development of science to the stage of cosmology. For example, how is it possible to create a space in the laboratory to skyrocket and thus verify whether human intelligence is declining? This expansion occurs in the fourth dimension of space, and it is absolutely uncontrollable by humans. So, he only discussed these concerns with me, and we never told a third person. ”

"But now it's different. The solitary wave theory of the expansion and contraction of the universe has been confirmed, and space inflation will be a reality sixty-three years from now. If the prediction of the Pauli formula is correct, human intelligence will be reduced by up to 48.7 percent, which would be below the chimpanzees of today. ”

"If human beings are still in the age of drinking blood, there is not much danger in such a reduction in intelligence. Isolated waves of cosmic expansion and contraction have swept across the universe many times, with recent intervals of about 100,000 years, but have not caused mass extinctions with a 100,000-year cycle. Imagine this: Perhaps during the period of mental improvement, chimpanzees quickly learned to catch termites with branches, learn to smash nuts with stones, and even learn to use natural fire and evolve simple language; Unfortunately, when it was the turn of the mental downturn, it forgot all about these advances - and it didn't matter, they could still pick bananas, eat leaves, call their companions in the animal language of an orangutan, and still live. It's a pity that human beings are no longer ignorant animals, human beings have nuclear power plants, airplanes, 10,000-ton giant ships, barrage dams, virus laboratories, genetic engineering companies, not to mention nuclear submarines, intercontinental **, biological and chemical weapons...... These require wisdom to control. If you give these switches and buttons to a bunch of ignorant chimpanzees, imagine what the world will look like. ”

Yu Leshui shivered. She couldn't help but think of her husband's fanatical thinking about the almost "flying car" in the past six months, it turned out that he knew that the wisdom of Shaohua was about to pass, and it would even turn into an intellectual collapse! He was trying to seize the remaining time, trying to paint a picture of what would happen after the collapse of the human intellect.
