Chapter 23 Parting Ways
The upgraded mechanical skeleton is a whole circle smaller than the original, and after Ning Fei wears it, not only can he be more flexible and control his strength than before, but he also doesn't look particularly crowded when sitting on the helicopter arranged by Patton.
"Do you have a problem with your hand?" Caitlin asked worriedly, she hadn't seen her in just a few days.
Ning Fei hurriedly shook his head, "It's just prevention, and it looks more holistic this way." ”
Caitlin pulled the helicopter door, took off, sat on the seat opposite Ning Fei, and looked up and down, "A battle armor without a helmet is always incomplete, and the position of the chest needs to be protected, which is a weak part. ”
"No, no, no, there's no need to protect, as long as you run fast enough, the bullets won't catch up with me, but I'll consider adding a neck support, excellent advice!"
"What's that for?"
"Treat stiff neck, or neck fatigue caused by long hours of work."
"It's good if you're happy~"
The helicopter flew at a low altitude and at a rapid speed, and since the crash, Ning Fei had fastened his seat belt, and the feeling of rolling in the whirling cabin that could be thrown out at any time, or hit all kinds of sharp and hard objects, was too terrible.
Put on your headphones, listen to music, block out the noise, and take a nap.
......
It was probably more than an hour later, and the military helicopter was faster than the civilian plane, and Ning Fei woke up from a light sleep because the plane began to descend. I took off my headphones and stretched, only to hear the passionate voice of the helicopter pilot shouting to them, "Welcome to New York!" ”
The plane landed on a tarmac, and Ning Fei and Caitlin got out of the helicopter and saw Kevin waiting for them.
"Captain", Ning Fei took the lead in saying hello.
Kevin saw Ning Fei, with a melancholy and guilt in his eyes that was almost invisible, and finally stepped forward, showing a somewhat tired smile and patting Ning Fei's shoulder, "Barton said that you have woken up, I am really happy to see you again, are you recovering well?" ”
"I'm already very lucky, the doctors say it's a miracle," Ning Fei said with a smile.
The location of the apron is the middle of the Albert Experimental Park, the whole park is surrounded by a huge white ring building, there are other buildings in the ring, the floors are generally not high, the roof and the central block of the park are distributed with vegetation, pools, the overall style seems to be biased towards leisure and art.
Kevin takes Ning Fei and Caitlin to Dr. Crescent's lab.
In addition to the working place of scientific researchers, part of the park is open to the outside world as an exhibition hall, and the staff of the exhibition hall organize visitors to visit in an orderly manner, mainly to display some important scientific research achievements of the laboratory in history, and there are many interactive display screens and holographic projections to show the phenomena of the macroscopic and microscopic world in physics and explain related theories, and there is even a special official website that allows people to leave a message and ask questions. Researchers will respond to questions, mainly to popularize knowledge to the masses and pass on knowledge, which is regarded as the spiritual value of the laboratory.
Kevin and his party walked through the pavilion in no hurry like ordinary tourists, and security was very scarce, and only when entering the work area did there be a decent electronic gate.
Once you enter the work area, the scene is completely different from the pavilion, the people inside look busy, some people are wearing radiation protection suits, entering and exiting a lift elevator leading to the underground, and more people are debugging equipment on it, which looks like it has just been updated, presumably doing experiments underground. Walking through this area, passing through two uninhabited areas in a row, and finally coming to an independent working area separated by heavy concrete, Ning Fei saw a ring device similar to a tokamak, but the size was relatively small, almost the size of an ordinary round table, and a large writing board was nailed to the wall next to it, and a woman was writing and drawing on the writing board, filling the entire writing board with dense deduction equations, and from time to time to find the data on the detector display. As if pondering some questions, it wasn't until everyone came to the front that the woman noticed that someone was coming.
"Dr. Crescent," Kevin introduced, "to meet a new partner, this is Ning Fei." ”
Dr. Crescent Moon put down the pen in his hand, and was slightly surprised at first when he saw Ning Fei's strange outfit, but suddenly remembered the person in front of him, stretched out his hand and quipped: "Hey, headshotman, we've met before, but you shouldn't have seen me, you were injured and still dormant at that time." ”
"Headshots? What headshots? Ning Fei's expression was strange, but out of politeness, he shook hands with Xinyue, turned his head and asked Caitlin, "I still have this nickname at that time?" ”
"I don't know", Caitlyn shook her head nonchalantly.
Xinyue suddenly approached Ning Fei, reached out to touch Ning Fei's forehead, and without warning, Ning Fei's head tilted back in panic.
"Don't move!"
Xinyue pressed her shoulder, and gently touched her forehead with her other hand, which was the location of Ning Fei's injury before, and said seriously: "Although I heard Barton say about your situation, the performance of medical nanorobot technology in biological tissue repair tests is extremely ideal, but after all, there is a lack of sufficient clinical verification, and it is still very surprising to be able to see its application effect with your own eyes!" ”
"Dr. Wiener from the base hospital examined him, and the internal tissues were repaired perfectly, but there may be some problems in the field of consciousness," Caitlin said.
When the new moon receded, Ning Fei tapped the mechanical bones on his legs with the mechanical bones in his hands, made a "dangdang" sound, and said in frustration: "Dyskinesia ”
"Not a bad invention", Xinyue looked Ning Fei's lightweight version of the mechanical skeleton up and down, and continued: "According to the past medical classification, this disease belongs to psychology, but psychology is not accurate, so it is difficult to target solutions. ”
A look of disappointment appeared on Ning Fei's face, but he was still unwilling to ask, "Is there really no way?" ”
Xinyue patiently explained: "The solution of this problem is limited by the level of science and technology in this era, medical nanorobot technology should be the most advanced technology in neurosurgical treatment, the key point of the current problem is that our understanding of brain thinking activities is still incomplete, this is not a single discipline can be improved by the progress of a single discipline, it is necessary to improve all aspects of basic disciplines and other related disciplines, in order to form the basis for technological breakthroughs in this field, at that time, all the secrets about the brain will be deciphered, Humanity can cure all diseases, and the future will come, but it will not be easy. ”
Ning Fei was silent, he understood Xinyue's words, only in the case of the industrial revolution and technological explosion, all disciplines are advancing rapidly, and in that environment, the current problems that are difficult to solve will not be worth mentioning.
In the long run, the scientific achievements of this planet in the past few hundred years will exceed the sum of all human history, showing exponential growth, and through the space shuttle incident, it is also recognized that there are more powerful intelligent races than humans in the starry sky, and they are gradually arriving here, and the arrival of alien technology will also accelerate the technological level of this planet.
Even in the longer term of human history, the current era is a special point.
"You know, your previous brain trauma is equivalent to sticking your head into the super proton accelerator underground without wearing a protective suit, if this was almost untreatable before the new technology was available last year, but look at it now, you can still stand here......"
"I understand, I understand...... Thank you, Doctor~", Ning Fei came out of his mind.
Ning Fei collected the emotions on his face, exhaled, and asked, "What can I do about this?" Barton says you need help here, what do I need to do? Well...... I used to study physics and computer science at Lucas University, and I was going to work in this area and know a lot of brilliant people, but then something happened and we parted ways. ”
A sincere smile appeared on Crescent Moon's face, "This couldn't be better!" I'm short of manpower here, but I'm actually still researching that space crystal, and I'm sure you'll be interested. ”
Ning Fei recalled that along the way, she observed that the research in Albert's laboratory seemed to be carried out by a research team led by scientists, and Dr. Crescent Moon saw her busy alone, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are there no other interested people?" ”
"Hmm...... Everyone has different opinions and parted ways", Crescent Moon raised her eyebrows and turned her head to the annular device, "This is a project about controlled nuclear fusion, that space crystal is very magical, the outer 12hedron is actually a shell, under a certain physical stimulus, it can violate the law of conservation of mass and continuously eject a large number of particles and energy from the inside, we have no way to observe the inside of this device, but this shell itself contains very advanced technology, which can generate a high-density magnetic field to confine the particles, This device is modeled on the principle of crystals, which can restrain high-energy particles, and is different from the existing magnetic confinement devices, which can shrink the volume even smaller, which can eventually create a small or miniature nuclear fusion reactor, and the energy it produces can propel human spacecraft to easily get rid of the gravitational pull of the Earth-Moon system, and even the gravitational pull of the solar system, and enter long-distance space travel. ”
To put it simply, Dr. Crescent's research project is to use the principle of high-density magnetic fields of space crystals to improve existing magnetic confinement devices to conduct small-scale controlled nuclear fusion experiments. Nuclear fusion will not be like nuclear fission, it is safer and cleaner, but the problem is that Ning Fei has seen the weirdness of that space crystal, its magnetic field is actually not stable, although there are environmental factors, but once an accident occurs in this kind of atomic energy research experiment, the energy generated is enough to wipe out the surrounding materials.
It is equivalent to doing research on an unstable small nuclear bomb, and it is no wonder that Dr. Crescent Moon is short of manpower.
Ning Fei knew that if he proposed to part ways at this time, he was afraid it would be too late.
