The estimated launch time of the Hunter Heavy rocket is two o'clock in the afternoon, this time the recovery location of the first stage rocket is still at sea, which is determined by the unique geographical location of the Cape Calavera launch center, due to the influence of the earth's rotation, the first stage rocket will crash into the Atlantic Ocean after completing the mission, and the recovery of this stage rocket is carried out by barge at sea.

Of course, if Wang Yinan chooses, he will definitely not take such a dazzling technical solution as sea recovery, there is a large area of land to choose from, how good it is to find an airport as a place for the rocket to land, and if you have to fall on a small barge in the vast sea, isn't this deliberately looking for abuse?

Paul's parents are immigrants from Europa, after the end of the Second Blue Star World War in the middle of the last century, Europa was beaten into ruins, not to mention Asia, Africa and Latin America, all kinds of economic contradictions, social contradictions one after another, coupled with the wave of independence movements, the old order was destroyed, the new world has not yet been established, if there is still a pure land in the whole Blue Star, it is only the rice country.

Therefore, the entire Blue Star bulls, including Einstein and even Gödel, have come to North America, which has also become a solid foundation for the hegemony of the rice country for at least a century.

Among these so-called high-quality immigrants are Paul's parents.

Paul's parents were devout JD believers, and at the same time, his father was also an economist of sufficient repute, so it is not surprising that in a JD country like the West, science and religion have always intertwined in ways we can hardly imagine.

At the beginning of the last century, after the Renaissance, the church became mild-mannered, and the value of attaching importance to the individual and human nature became the mainstream of society, of course, this value has been greatly challenged in the new century, and the surging refugees of all colors on the continent of Europa have made politically correct politicians and intellectuals complain, of course, the archway they erected, gritting their teeth and having to hold on.

However, if you think about the pagans who were burned to death, and the era of the Crusades, you know that the revolution is not a dinner party, let alone the church, and at this time, you have to admire the inclusiveness of Buddhism.

Buddhism is a typical polytheistic religion, in the entire Buddhist system of gods and Buddhas, the secular Jade Emperor and the religious Buddha are divided into courts, not to mention independent hills, ask a simple question, who is the most powerful in Buddhism, it is estimated that no matter how senior experts can answer.

And the JD Sect and the YSL Sect are both typical monotheistic religions, and there is only one of the most bullish gods and Buddhas, either/or, these two guys get together, and it's strange if they don't fight.

But JD is different from science, although all theories that cannot be falsified are pseudoscience, but a theory can be considered a hypothesis until it has been proven or falsified, so any religion can be considered an unproven hypothesis.

In scientific theory, it is much easier to add a condition than to subtract one, when Euclid proposed the five common assumptions of geometry, and the mathematicians found that the first four public assumptions were so natural and reasonable, but the fifth public assumption, the public assumption with only one parallel line at any point seemed so strange and redundant.

So countless mathematicians racked their brains to deduce the fifth hypothesis from the first four hypotheses, of course, in the end, they all failed, but the thinking in the process finally led to the emergence of non-Euclidean geometry, well, one of the most famous is Riemannian geometry.

By the way, general relativity is just a natural corollary of Riemannian geometry.

For example, in quantum theory, there is a theory that has the lowest cost, but the best solution to the problem, called the theory of hidden variables, all phenomena that cannot be explained by existing theories can be considered to be outside the limits of our cognition, and there is a mysterious hidden variable under the theory, which is omnipresent, but no one can find its traces.

It is the source of all things, the ultimate explanation of all unknowns, and the first driving force of the universe in which we live.

Yes, you guessed it right, it also has a name, it's called God.

Economics, like theoretical physics, is the most easily attributed to the field of religion or theology among all scientific theories, because economics itself has a bit of metaphysical flavor, and in essence, the group behavior shown by countless independent economic individuals is the most bullish theory and cannot be predicted.

So, the greatest skill of an economist is not to predict the direction of the economy, but to find plausible explanations for the past of economic development, and many times, this effort can only be led to a simple and easy-to-understand conclusion, oh, MyGod.

Although Paul has a Ph.D. in Biology and Economics, he is a devout JD Cultist influenced by his parents, however, his identity is largely unknown to anyone, as he never prays or attends services in front of people he knows.

Since becoming the president's chief scientific advisor, his identity has been well hidden, after all, as the president's chief scientific adviser, an atheist or a less fanatical JD is more in line with his status.

Paul stood alone in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, at this time, less than half an hour before the launch, the command center had entered the tense countdown stage, but the VIP room was not infected by the tense atmosphere, on the contrary, it seemed very relaxed and casual.

Paul looked at Wang Yinan and Musk from a distance, and of course a group of scientists from SpaceY, these engineers talked very happily there, Wang Yinan half-truthfully took out his own circular wing launch, and landed like an airplane after unfolding, SpaceY's masters began to calculate, and the final conclusion was unexpectedly feasible.

"Professor Wang can apply for a patent for the technical solution, which is much more economical to recycle than if we set aside 25% of the fuel for deceleration," Musk said.

"The only problem may be the material, a deformable material, it's not easy to maintain enough strength," Tom added on the sidelines.

"At that time, we also chose the vertical landing scheme because of the deformable material, because reliability is a big problem for any deformable material."

Wang Yinan nodded, "If there is no new crystal theory, materials are indeed a big problem", he added in his heart.

And in the distance, the huge hunter rocket towered majestically, as if announcing to the whole world "I am coming, I am going to conquer the sky", subconsciously stretched out his hand, and rubbed the cross on his chest, Paul couldn't help but think of his hometown.

It was a small Texas ranch, and Paul used to ride a foal on the ranch as a child, with desolate red earth, semi-desert landscapes, huge cacti, and thrilling beauty in the sunset.

It is said that this was originally a reservation for Indiana natives, but in the wave of central development in the last century, it is said that immigrants bought this reservation with horses and fabrics, and of course, it may have been used to persuade the aborigines to give up this reservation.

However, Paul's wonderful childhood did not last long, as the highway and the expanding airport broke the tranquility of the small ranch, which fortunately stopped expanding on the edge of the ranch, and unfortunately the loud roar of the engine made grazing a luxury.

Paul's father is also a local figure, he took the Houston city government and the airport to court, after a long litigation process, unsurprisingly, Paul's father lost the case, personal interests or group interests, this is a question that will never be answered.

But Paul always thinks of the pasture in his childhood, there is no roar of the engine, there is no endless traffic, everything is so simple and beautiful, but every time Paul returns to his hometown to visit his bedridden old father, in addition to the traffic whistling by the ranch, it is the roar of coming and going, the quiet and leisurely pastoral life, and it is gone forever.

Speaking of the reason for all this, everyone has their own understanding, their own interpretation, after all, science is just a tool, human endless desire, may be the root of all this, although the roar is annoying, but the roar can also allow you to fly from this side of the continent to the other side of the continent in a few hours, so which one is better, it is also a matter of opinion.

The problem is that Paul doesn't think so, although he has been trained in science in school, the idea of the biggest latent variable that has been formed since he was a child has long been ingrained in his bones, and every time he looks at the robot monster roaring past his farm, Paul wants to pull it off with his hands every time.

Of course, he wasn't that mad, after all, there were still hundreds of living beings on the machine monster, and there were believers in God.

On the launch pad, the engine has entered the low-power test mode, all the personnel have already been evacuated, from the bottom of the engine, puffs of smoke began to rise, the ten-minute countdown will soon begin, Paul looked at the milky white rocket, but couldn't help but think of the man he met the day before.

Coincidentally, in the town where Wang Yinan rested yesterday, when he was having a short time with the parents of the Chinese restaurant owner, Paul drove a LinKon pickup truck and met a strange man at another motel in the town.

Paul had never met this man before, and after he posted a 200 BTC bounty on BitBite, Bluestar's largest underground trading platform, he was the most satisfying applicant, experienced and claimed to never miss a beat.

BitBite is an underground trading platform based on blockchain technology, distributed on hundreds of thousands of broiler computers throughout Bluestar, tasks and data, even including login accounts, are not owned by a central management agency, cannot be tampered with, or even tracked, is a must for murder and arson.

Paul watched the platform cautiously for a long time, and even used the power at his disposal to track the release and execution of several bounties, but to his surprise, even through the FBI, Paul still couldn't find out the identity of the applicants, but the bounty was undoubtedly completed.

Originally, Paul didn't want to go out in person, but the task of his bounty this time was a little difficult, and if it wasn't for the help of the tools in his trunk, it would definitely not be completed, so there was no way, Paul had to put on sunglasses and a mask, and run this trip in person, after all, this kind of thing, how can it not be faked.

In front of the hotel's humble bar, Paul recognized his trade partner at a glance, and the coldness that radiated from the inside of his bones made Paul shudder unconsciously, "This must be this guy", Paul thought to himself. 8)
