Wei Lingdong This is the first time to go to Chongqing, as a famous mountain city through the ages, and the only municipality directly under the central and western part of the Celestial Empire, Chongqing has long been famous.

When Guoan's special plane arrived in Chongqing, it was already past 3 o'clock in the afternoon. As the famous furnace of the Celestial Empire, the weather in June has reached nearly 30 degrees, and as soon as a few people get off the plane, they feel a heat wave rushing towards their faces.

He Wentao, the dean of Huayuan, waited by the airport runway with several assistants, and Lu Fengyang, Wei Lingdong, Qin Zhen, Jiang Xing, and Jiang Xue, brothers and sisters, got on the special car and went straight to the location of Fenghua College in the east of Chongqing.

"Mr. Lu, there is still something I need to communicate with you now." He Wentao is a middle-aged man with a slightly gray hair and eyebrows, and he should be about the same age as Lu Fengyang.

Wei Lingdong glanced at him as he got off the plane, a top master of the four abilities of the SSS level.

Since the third awakening of the Ten Thousand Souls was completely completed, his detection ability has been able to remain on at all times within a range of approximately 50 meters.

"What's the matter?" Lu Fengyang motioned to him and said directly, no need to avoid suspicion.

"That's right, I just received the news at noon," He Wentao cleared his throat, "Several professors from Russia and country M came to my office at noon to discuss, saying that they had received an email from the Ministry of Education and hoped that they would return to China to serve. ”

"Is there a salary at the bottom of the kettle?" The corners of Lu Fengyang's mouth raised slightly, "What is their own opinion?" ”

"No decision has been made, they just told me that they got the mail." He Wentao shook his head, "The most important faculty of the Academy is these internationally renowned retired scientists in various fields. But when the era of supernatural abilities came, they all awakened their abilities, and now their physical abilities even surpassed those of the young people of the previous ordinary era! There is no problem in doing research for another twenty or thirty years! ”

"If I'm not mistaken, there are 7 experts in Russia, and 4 in country M are currently teaching or doing research in our Chinese Academy, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Lu." He Wentao nodded in confirmation.

"How many of them have access to the last part of the top-secret data transmitted back by Yuanwang-1?"

"Robert is the only one, he is an absolute authority on superconductivity, and he has a deep friendship with Professor Zahas of MIT, and Donald admires him a lot."

"The same Robert Warren who has the same name as the great poet of the early last century? I was so impressed with him that it was said that Sa'az's theory of the branches of the universe was finally published after a long night of talking with him. ”

After the arrival of the Age of Abilities, Saaz had several video exchanges with him. They are exploring new models of the universe, trying to unify the 'many-world interpretation' and the 'universe inflation theory' to form a new system of universe theory. ”

"Revise and refine his theory of the branches of the universe?" Lu Fengyang furrowed his straight eyebrows, and he looked at Wei Lingdong, "Bring Donald in, and I'll talk to him." Then he closed his eyes and leaned back in the back seat of the car.

"Okay." Wei Lingdong replied very simply, he said a word directly to Zero in his mind, and soon, Tang Jingnian's voice appeared in the minds of several people.

Lu Fengyang told him He Wentao's words in his mind, and Tang Jingnian said in a deep voice

"I already know that although my communication with Saaz has been hindered by various obstacles from the side of country M, he still brought me some cryptic information through his European students. He was indeed ahead of the curve in terms of branching theories, but now his theory is hitting a serious bottleneck. The data we sent back from Yuanwang-1 did not allow him to give a perfect explanation of his theory, and his theory of the branch of the universe is now inconsistent. ”

"What is self-consistency?" Qin Zhen leaned into Wei Lingdong's ear and whispered.

"It's self-harmony. A theory is self-deducing, and if it can perfectly deduce a reasonable conclusion, it is self-consistent. On the contrary, the meaning of inconsistency is self-contradiction, which is the destruction of scientific theories. Many great scientists in the history of the earth have wasted years or even more than ten years of research in vain because of self-consistency problems, which is a disaster for their scientific careers. ”

"No wonder he's desperate for a breakthrough." Lu Fengyang sighed, "His students have all won the Nobel Prize, but he has never won the nomination." Hey, reputation kills! ”

"His vanity is indeed strong, which is not the psychological quality that a top scientist should have, but he has always believed that a strong sense of victory and defeat can motivate people to better devote themselves to research." Tang Jingnian's words seemed to be a little sorry for this international friend, "I once persuaded him that the heart of victory and defeat is a mental drug, and it may bring positive effects for a while, but in the long run, it will definitely hinder his research progress and make him fall into the vicious circle of chasing fame and fortune and cannot extricate himself." ”

"The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change." Lu Fengyang said with emotion, "Now that Robert Warren is going back to Country M, do you think it would be Sa'as's idea?" ”

"It's hard to say, I haven't communicated with him for half a month, even if we communicate, we are in a state of monitoring, we can't talk about anything at work, and we basically hang up after two or three sentences. However, if, as Dean He said, he has the last information sent back by Yuanwang No. 1, then it may be a little inappropriate to let him go back. ”

"With the current means of communication, would he have passed on the relevant information to Saaz a long time ago?" Wei Lingdong asked.

"Impossible, the Chinese Academy has a very complete confidentiality system, their internal network is designed and arranged by me personally, and there is the latest Luban robot as a network guarantee, and each professor has handed in his own private communication tools when he joins the school, which is uniformly equipped by the Chinese Academy." Lu Fengyang explained.

"Such extreme conditions, they could agree at that time?" Wei Lingdong was very puzzled.

"These old scientists regard research as more important than life, let alone a little freedom?" Lu Fengyang said with a smile, "And we are not monitoring their private lives, their contact with their families, etc., are all private, only when sensitive information is disseminated, the network will intelligently detect and block it."

"After the superlight experiment, this half of the information we received has been deciphered and studied almost completely, and according to my analysis, if Saaz gets his hands on it, he should be able to integrate the 'multi-world interpretation' and the 'cosmic inflation theory' into his theory of the universe branch, thus making it self-consistent. However, the derivation of this requires a lot of energy, and I am afraid that he will not be able to complete it alone, so he is likely to ask these four old scientists from country M in the Chinese Academy to go back and help him complete the derivation. ”

"The other three scientists have no access to the information of Yuanwang-1, do you mean, these four people can't be released?" Lu Fengyang asked.

"Hmm..." After Tang Jingnian was silent for a short time, he then spoke, "In this way, you can send a letter to the Academy of Sciences of National M and Princeton University, where Sahas works, and start a scientific exchange with them in the name of Fenghua College." The four of Robert were allowed to return to their home country on the condition that the study of Saaz be shared with us. ”

"I'm afraid this is hard for them to accept, right? Now that Zero exists, they have repeatedly asked us to open source the source code of artificial intelligence, or license it to them. ”

"They'll say yes. Because Saaz needed this information so badly. If it is two or three months late, we will probably have to take the lead in completing the inference, which is absolutely unacceptable to him. Tang Jingnian said with a smile.

"Can it really be done?"

"It's difficult, but he's definitely afraid that others will finish it first. This is a common problem of people who are determined to win or lose. As for the matter of Zero, it is not the same thing, even if the branch theory is perfected, it will only have a long-term impact on the progress of earth science and technology, and it is impossible to have a subversive short-term effect like Zero. They're asking for a sky-high price, and we don't have to pay attention to it. ”

"Okay, I'll let Jiang Xing draft the letter immediately."

Jiang Xing and Jiang Xue sisters had been listening quietly, and at this time, Jiang Xing immediately turned on the micro end of the work.

"The matter of that Buddhist scripture, if there is no result, take Qin Zhen back to Hunan Province, after all, she ran away from home, and now it's time for her to go home and take a look."

Tang Jingnian's words were said to Wei Lingdong, he was like explaining to his grandson, and his tone was very kind.

"Okay, Donald, you pay more attention to safety." Wei Lingdong was still remembering his assassination.

"Thank you, Grandpa Tang!" Qin Zhen was very moved, and his heart was warm.

It has been more than two years since she ran out, and she has not been in contact with her family, although Wei Lingdong is strange, but she only asked once, and seeing that she was unwilling to answer, she did not touch on this topic again.

The communication between several people in their minds was very fast, and it took less than a minute to communicate. He Wentao saw that Lu Fengyang closed his eyes and recuperated, and he didn't bother quietly.

Lu Fengyang opened his eyes and said to He Wentao: "Robert, I will deal with their affairs, those professors in Russia, please communicate with them alone, if it is their own wishes, they will agree." ”

"If this opening is opened, will anyone else..." He Wentao said worriedly.

"It's okay, it's not a good idea to forcibly keep people, especially for these high-ranking old scientists. Robert and the others are for special reasons, and the others just follow the normal procedures. ”

"Okay, I see."

The car walked on the elevated highway in Chongqing for about an hour and came to a waterfront place sandwiched by two mountains. A large circle of low walls encloses a piece of land with a radius of nearly 900 meters. Within the low walls, dozens of teaching buildings, student dormitories, staff dormitories, canteens and other buildings crowd this triangular area, and two football fields are located at the foot of the two mountains on the left and right, which can be seen from afar due to the wide view. The basketball court is sandwiched between the buildings, and you can't see it from the outside.

The access control system at the entrance had long since been released, and the three cars drove straight into the spaceship-shaped memorial between the two football fields.

Wei Lingdong and Jiang Xue got out of the car with Lu Fengyang, he looked up at the front of the memorial hall, and at the 'bow of the ship' above, the two lines of golden calligraphy of the Celestial Dynasty were dazzling:

When you climb high, you should look into the distance, and you must look at yourself.
