Chapter 30: The Explorer
"Brother, I called you brother, you can spare me, my brain is really not suitable to talk about this. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" I arched my hand, revealing an expression of crying and laughing.
"Okay, okay," Chen Tianxing let out a long sigh, "I just wanted to tell you what the origin of the world we are studying is probably something. ”
"Say it, I'll listen," I nodded, and Chen Tianxing continued, "Our world, from the small operation of electrons around the core, to the operation of the sun, moon and stars, and even the creation and destruction of the universe, all conform to certain laws. ”
"But who is the person who wrote this rule, who is sacred, we are always laughing at the frogs sitting in the well and watching the sky, lamenting that the summer insects can't speak ice, and the cockroaches don't know the spring and autumn, but how much better can we be than them?" Chen Tianxing looked up at the starry sky, a strange light flashed in his eyes, "Since the dawn of civilization came to the earth, human beings have been tirelessly exploring the inner laws of the world. Heaven and earth are heaven and earth, why not? Why does heaven and earth exist? Even if we find the omnipotent law of the world, it will be nothing more than a set of lifeless red tape. What is it that lights the spark of life? Leaving the entire universe for humans to meditate? ”
I've heard what he said, it was Stephen Hawking's speech at a speech, and it was surprisingly appropriate here.
I couldn't help but think of what the "I" in the forest of Python Mountain said to myself, the statement about essence, existence and meaning, which coincided with Chen Tianxing.
"And the whole explorer program is an exploration of the root of all this," Chen Tianxing said, my back was already soaked in cold sweat, if it is really as he said, then the significance of this plan is really greater than the sky, and it may not even be able to promote the progress of mankind.
"Have you ever heard of the breakthrough star project?" Chen Tianxing asked.
"I know," I've seen on the news, it's been last year," at 8:08 Beijing time on April 13, the famous astrophysicist Stephen Hawking posted a Weibo in New York, announcing that he would launch a super scientific research project: build a laser-propelled miniature interstellar vehicle to search for extraterrestrial life. ”
"Yes," Chen Tianxing poured himself another glass of wine, "This aircraft is composed of star chips and a solar sail with a thickness of only a few hundred atoms, which can reach one-fifth of the speed of light, and it is the only vehicle that has entered outer space in the true sense. ”
I thought to myself, I don't need to go to outer space to find it, in fact, there was a civilization on the moon closest to us.
"Many scientists think that there will be no aliens in this world at all," Chen Tianxing scoffed, "how ridiculous is this, why can there be life only on earth, why must life be made of matter, and is matter really just what we have defined?" ”
"Actually, a lot of times I wonder if people will go to another world when they die," I said, "a staunch atheist who arrives in that world and finally realizes that he is wrong, but he has no way to tell the other people who are alive." ”
"Or, this world is really just a game, I'm the only player, you're all programmed according to the plot, and you don't have your own mind," I think about when I'm bored in a hospital bed, "and I can't debunk you, I'll live in another place after I die." ”
"Not necessarily," Chen Tianxing squeezed his eyes at me, "Maybe we are all programmes, this universe is actually just a book written by a third-rate author, all our things, including the current dialogues, what we think in our heads, are destined to appear, and everything about us has been conceived in the mind of this author from the beginning." ”
The thought was so terrifying that I looked up and repeatedly looked through the endless starry sky to see a person sitting at a computer desk, typing on a keyboard.
The two of us looked at each other, and suddenly laughed without warning, and the people eating barbecue next to us heard our demonic laughter and looked sideways, but we didn't care.
"Stephen Hawking's breakthrough star program is actually part of the Explorer Program, or rather, a prologue of the Explorer Program," Chen Tianxing continued, "and the project I participated in is top secret, which is even more incredible than this, it can be said that it can directly shake the foundation of something, whether it is successful or not, the organizers of the project will not let us come back alive." ”
"Hmm," I nodded, curious, but didn't ask.
"Then again," Chen Tianxing picked up a lamb skewer and finished it in one bite, "I just wanted my eldest brother to come together, but I couldn't get in touch, what's the matter, he changed his phone number?" ”
"You think everyone misses the same old as you, and they still use the same number for a few years," I pretended to be relaxed and decided not to tell him about my eldest brother, "Besides, he doesn't see the dragon all day long, let alone you, I haven't contacted him for a long time." ”
After saying that, I picked up the skewers and took a bite, the familiar taste reminded me of the three people who often came out to eat barbecue over the wall in junior high school, my nose was sore, and tears couldn't help but fall, but fortunately, the lights were very dim and no one could see it.
"It doesn't matter if you can't get in touch," Chen Tianxing said, but there was a deep regret in his eyes, "Actually, I can't rest assured that it's you." ”
"Say, I'll listen," I held back the tears that rolled in my eyes, feeling like my heart was about to collapse.
"It's not as good as our brother outside, people's hearts are complicated and difficult to distinguish, if you encounter something in the future, think about it more, and have a few more eyes," Chen Tianxing said, "Your temperament is too straight, and it's easy to suffer, so you really have to learn from your little brother Zhang." ”
"Well," I nodded, hesitated, and asked anyway, "do you have to go, and if you don't want to, I'm still sure I'll be able to keep you." ”
The person who can organize this kind of project must have great powers, but with the ability of Lao Zhao and the Mo family, it is not difficult to keep Chen Tianxing, and it is not difficult to do so, and this project has something to do with the Mo family.
"I want to go by myself," Chen Tianxing shook his head, "This is also my dream all along, I don't want my children and grandchildren to live in ignorance and sleep like us, I want to turn into a light, illuminating the long night, although it is only a moment, but I also want people to know that God does not give birth to me Chen Tianxing, eternity is like a long night, hehe, maybe my tone is a little big, but this is really what I think in my heart." ”
I am speechless, how many people in this world are like him, desperate for their lives, just to find an answer that will never be touched.
We all stopped talking, ate our food, time flashed by, and the barbecue stall closed.
Chen Tianxing escorted me to the alley of the antique street and stood there without moving.
I knew it was time to leave.
"Second brother, let me sing another song for you," Chen Tianxing said, this kid's singing voice is very ugly, and he always likes to sing, this time I didn't stop it.
Chen Tianxing sang the unknown song, and watched me drift away in the singing.
Even though it was summer, the wind was still cool in the early morning.
It was so cold, it was so cold that my tears came down.
I hugged my shoulders and groped my way through the bleak night......
