00947 Strings of Time (7)
November 21, 2024
"I know this stuff is weird, but we don't have enough time, you know?!" The Russian uncle is angry.
"Time...... It's time again...... I always felt that all these studies were in vain, and maybe in another hundred years it would stop here. Fu Yihan is the same, she really wants to tear up the research report in her hand.
"One Hundred Years...... We don't have that much time, and it's two ways to say whether the earth will still exist in a hundred years. Zeng Yijie's pessimism made the atmosphere of the meeting even more depressing.
Li Rang smiled, and he put the cocktail in front of You Gege.
You Gege was a little flattered and said, "Thank you." ”
"Here we go again! How can you conclude that the earth will cease to exist in a hundred years? The Russian uncle Alek Rukonev spread his hands and picked up his own flask for a burst of dundundun.
The advantage of a dinner-style meeting is that everyone can speak freely and is not so inhibited.
Zeng Yijie raised his eyebrows: "Brother Alek, I'm not alarmist, didn't you also find out a while ago, those forerunners are like ancient viruses, they may be safe now, but as long as they are given the right environment, they will revive and infect the whole world, and even if the earth is still there, we humans should be replaced." ”
Alek retorted: "No, no, no, we just found that their cells are extremely imitative and permeable, which does not mean anything, and bacteria are not all bad, you see, just like the stinky tofu that you Chinese love to eat, you don't think that these things that make tofu stink will destroy the earth, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.
Zeng Yijie is the same, but he is just a wry smile, he is not a person who suffers from gains and losses, but as his research deepens, he gradually discovers that these seemingly harmless "forerunners" have actually been in a state of low vitality, that is, they have not completely woken up.
After confirming this, Zeng Yijie immediately alerted the research teams of each sub-district and reported it to the top management of the National Security Department, but the result was a warning from Li Shao'an.
The exact content of the warning is unknown, but since then Zeng Yijie has become extremely passive and less interested in research.
Fu Yihan was the only one who didn't laugh, and she had been thinking about the problem of how to solve the research that she might have spent a hundred years or more on in a limited time.
The question is complicated, and in the eyes of most people, it is a joke.
But Fu Yihan didn't admit defeat, she left the restaurant early and returned to the laboratory to continue her research.
You Gege didn't like this kind of occasion very much, so when he saw Fu Yihan leaving, You Gege followed.
The two entered the laboratory one after the other.
It was not surprising when Fu Yihan looked back at You Gege, because through the past few months of getting along, she already knew You Gege's character very well.
"Sister also has something to do?" Fu Yihan asked.
You Gege stood outside the observation room, and the observation room was empty at this time, but You Gege was still watching very attentively.
"No, I'm thinking about a question."
"Huh?" Fu Yihan actually has no idea now, she just doesn't want to be idle when she returns to the laboratory.
"What would it be like if time were a string that could be touched......
"The strings of time?" Fu Yihan didn't understand.
You Gege turned around, took out an operation board, and marked two dots on it.
A and B.
The two points were also displayed simultaneously on the uh workbench in front of Fu Yihan.
"If I want to go from A to B, the fastest way to do that is to go in a straight line, right?"
Fu Yihan nodded, and then watched You Gege connect A and B in a straight line.
Then You Gege asked, "Can this line be regarded as a string of time?" ”
The metaphor is not so rigorous, but it is very vivid.
Fu Yihan thought thoughtfully: "Well, using lines to describe distance is actually one of the elements we need to describe the time it takes to get from A to B. ”
You Gege smiled slightly, and she continued, "Then according to our usual train of thought, we have to go along this line and try to speed as fast as possible, so that we consume the least amount of time, right?" ”
"yes, yes."
You Geger's statement is slightly abstract, but this abstraction is the essence of the development of things.
Just like reading at this moment, every sound we make, every breath we take, it takes time, or time is always passing without stopping for a second for any of us.
"If, at this time, I bend the line as much as possible, will the straight-line distance between A and B be shortened?" You Gege said as he swiped his fingers up on the control panel.
Then the straight line between A and B begins to bend in a certain arc, and while maintaining the total length of the line, A and B continue to approach, and at this time, the second straight line appears.
And this straight line is constantly shrinking.
At first, Fu Yihan didn't understand what You Gege meant, but when she saw this bend and the second straight line, her heartbeat accelerated.
"Time will not stop for you and me, it will always pass, it is absolute, but also relative, just like the crooked path in the park, obviously through the entire park only need to step on a few lawns, cross a few fences, can greatly reduce the time we consume, but we still have to follow the road under our feet, because we are reluctant to the scenery on both sides of the road......" You Gege said and closed the operation board and put it back in its place.
Fu Yihan was still staring at the curved line in front of her, she was thinking about what You Gege said.
Time has not stood still for you and me......
If it's a string that can be touched......
So does bending allow us to find shorter shortcuts?
One hundred years is really too long, Fu Yihan can't wait for that day, and it may even be as Zeng Yijie said, human beings can't wait for that day......
……
Survived to the residence, You Gege took a bath.
Lying in bed and about to rest, there was a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, it was Zhang Fengyu and Ou Mengya.
The two of them have been very close recently, but only You Gege knows that the ambiguity between Zhang Fengyu and Ou Mengya is to hide Ou Mengya's identity.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Zhang Fengyu's solemn face, You Gege was a little scared.
The two of them didn't speak, but went straight into the room and began to look around.
Ou Mengya even took out a submachine gun, looking like she was facing a great enemy.
You Gege watched the strange behavior of these two people at the door, and it wasn't until Zhang Fengyu came out of the bathroom and shook his head that Ou Mengya let out a sigh of relief and said, "Huh...... Luckily I didn't run to our side......"
Well?
You Gege was even more confused.
Then I heard Zhang Fengyu explain: "There was an accident on the side of the EU research team, three scientists died, and when we received the news, the director reminded us that it may not be man-made, so we ......."
As he spoke, Zhang Fengyu took off the infrared pop meter hanging on his ear and handed it to You Gege.
You Gege took it and looked at it, and he understood it instantly.
But when she realized it, she became even more uneasy.
Because if it really wants to be as Zhang Fengyu and the others are worried about now, then the entire underground experimental base will become dangerous.
"Do they really exist?"
Omenya shrugged: "I haven't seen it, but be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, not to mention that the Germans have made a lot of noise outside in the past few months." ”
"Huh?"
I really don't know.
The situation wasn't so grim before, so Ou Mengya didn't mention it to You Gege, but now she has to say it.
……
It turned out that after the start of the third phase of the experiment, the team of the German division blatantly violated the ban of the headquarters of the National Security Service and conducted a third probe of the "door".
But the results were not as confident as they were when they set out.
When the death toll rose again, German experts did not stop there, instead using information from the underground research team to further improve the infrared pop meter and then probe the "door" for the fourth time.
However, the operation was stopped before the start of the operation by the special formations of the National Security Service, and they were unsuccessful, and due to their repeated violations, the entire German team was driven out of Antarctica.
But just when everyone thought that everything had finally settled, another "door" appeared on the earth, this time in the Dead Sea.
Upon learning of this situation, the National Security Department immediately deployed forces to blockade the Dead Sea.
However, before the blockade, the German investigation team was the first to arrive at the "gate" in the Dead Sea, and once again probed the door with the help of "infrared pops".
This time, they succeeded, but they retreated immediately after touching the "door" of the Dead Sea, and returned home without waiting for the National Security Department to come and ask the teacher.
Although the Germans were willing to share their discoveries outside the "gate" and the related technology of infrared pop cameras with other countries after many negotiations, when the results of the sharing came out, everyone knew that the Germans had hidden the secret they had discovered in front of the "gate" of the Dead Sea.
……
"This ...... Does this conclude that they exist? After listening to Omenya's story, You Gege was a little surprised.
Hearing this, Zhang Fengyu added: "Of course it won't be so hasty...... In fact, since Heim's death, all countries have noticed the infrared pop meter in Haim's hand, although the German side did not disclose the infrared wave meter technology at that time, but this thing is not complicated, the real problem is how to accurately adjust the divergence frequency of the wave meter. ”
After listening to this, You Gege looked down at the pop meter in his hand, this thing is still very simple, but it already has a precise adjustment device, which seems to be used to calibrate data.
"Guess what we've seen on the frequency 1153D?" Ou Mengya asked a little mischievously.
You Gege was beating a drum in her heart, especially when she saw Ou Mengya's evil smile, she asked tremblingly, "What have you seen?" ”
