Chapter 180: The Truth of the Contradiction
"I will never allow my invention to be used as a murderous weapon, this was originally an invention for the benefit of mankind, why did the end result become like this. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoNo, I won't allow it! Moreover, I will not let it become a tool for a small group of people to achieve their own ends, and the kind of substance I have invented should belong to all mankind! β
Looking at the document that Atlas read from the data memory, which was only a few dozen words, Zhou Xin was silent for a long time. Obviously, this is a true portrayal of Candela's mood in his final moments. As can be seen from his diary, he was very opposed to the Republic of Kazran using his invention for military purposes, and it was understandable to record it in memory. But until the end, he insisted that his invention belonged to all mankind, so he had to make Zhou Xinsheng admire.
"Brother Captain, in addition to the document written at the beginning, they also found a document in the memory that has been multi-encrypted. What is recorded in the document is actually Candela's plan after leaving Kazlan, and you must not have imagined that the first target Candela wanted to go to after escaping from Kazlan was actually the Eun Empire. β
"Ewen Empire?" Zhou Xin was very surprised, "Aren't the two civilizations mortal enemies?" How could Candela, a Kazlan man, think of going to the Eun Empire in the first place? β
Atlas didn't answer, and before Zhou Xin's words could be finished, the encrypted document she had translated appeared on the screen.
September 27, 379 in the war calendar:
"It seems that the Kazlan military really doesn't want to make my research public. I really can't figure out why they are so secretive about an invention that is beneficial to everyone, and even to the point where I am forbidden to publish the specific progress of the experiment, which is completely different from what I said at the beginning. Is it really like he said that Kazran is not the right place for me to study? β
October 16:
"No matter what happens to the Kazlan military now, after all, I'm still a Kazlan, and I can't do it until the end of the trip to the Eun Empire. And they didn't forbid me to continue researching, suggesting that there should be a turning point in the matter, and perhaps the final results of the experiment would allow me to convince them to generalize the substance. β
20 November:
"They're getting more and more restrictive about the experiments I conduct, so is there really no way to do it?"
December 24:
"The military not only wants to turn the kind of material I invented into weapons, but even wants to take it for itself, and at the same time strictly forbids me to spread this technology that can benefit mankind. I've figured it out all this time. Although I am a true Kazran, this technology does not belong only to the Kazran, but to all of humanity. Since Kazlan is no longer suitable for me to continue my research, then why can't I go to the Ewen Empire to continue my research, as he said? He also assured me that my research would be able to spread throughout the Ewen Empire. In that case, my fellow citizens, I will have to bear with you for a while, and then return to spread it to you when the technology I have invented spreads through the territory of Eun. β
In fact, the length of this encrypted document is not very long, and Zhou Xin only took less than five minutes to read it. But the contents recorded in the document were really surprising, and Zhou Xin had no idea that Candela still had such pure thoughts at the beginning of his departure.
"Who is the 'he' mentioned in the document, who can actually convince Candela, a Kazlan, to come up with the idea of going to the Eun Empire." Zhou Xin muttered to himself thoughtfully.
"Maybe it's the Ewen spy hidden in Kazlan." Dart guessed, "Didn't Demancha mention that Candela's research also caught the attention of the Ewen after he published his initial findings?" Maybe they had already sent spies to Candela's side at that time. β
"Aren't the Kazran civilization and the Eun civilization two completely different species? Even the appearance is clearly different, how do they manage to send spies to each other without being detected? Spred asked curiously.
"How do I know that?" Dart shook his head, "But if it weren't for the spies sent by the Eun, then how could they have made a suggestion to go to the Ewen Empire." Moreover, from the moment 'he' was able to promise Candela to spread his invention within the Ewen Empire, it was possible to determine the true identity of the 'he' in Candela's mouth. β
"That's right. However, the 'he' has already made it so obvious, why didn't Candela find out who 'he' was? Spred then asked.
"Perhaps it was because 'he' was able to fulfill his long-held wish, and he was so excited that he ignored 'he' for who he really was. Or maybe Candela has discovered his true identity, but he doesn't care about his identity because he has promised his long-standing wish. Dart replied, "But that 'he' really has some ability to convince Candela to defect to the Ewen Empire." β
Sighing, Spred spoke: "I didn't expect that there would be such a person who thinks about all mankind in the environment of this planet. The reason why Candela defected to the Eun Empire is probably the most important reason why 'he' promised the Eun Empire to help him spread his technology to all mankind. But Candela also didn't want to think about it, once he did get to the Ewen Empire, would they really make his technology widely spread? I'm afraid that the end will be similar to when he was in Kazlan. β
With the same sigh, Zhou Xin continued: "Candela is a pure researcher who is in the sea of learning, and he has no concept of the deception behind it. Of course, it is possible that he himself realized something, but in order to achieve his goal, he still has a glimmer of hope for the Ewen Empire. It would be nice if he could have been born on our planet, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time and in the wrong place. β
Candela's matter has long passed, so Zhou Xin and the others have no way to save it except for emotion. Therefore, after a period of emotion, Zhou Xin asked Atlas: "There should be more than these two documents in the data storage, what else is there?" β
Hearing Zhou Xin's question, the little girl showed a hesitant look on her face, "In addition, it is the detailed technical process recorded by the Candela to extract the substance he said." Butβ"
"But what?"
"However, judging from the above account, the kind of matter that Candela spoke of could beβit probably isβ" After a moment of confusion, Atlas uttered the familiar word, "neutron matter." β
"How is that possible!" As soon as the little girl's words fell, Zhou Xin cried out, "I don't know how much this thing has been stored in the hands of the Kazlan people before, how can it be a new substance found in Candela's mouth?" β
"I don't want the answer to be neutron matter." Atlas also said helplessly, "But from the manufacturing process of the substance recorded in the documents to the properties of the substance recorded by Candela, only neutron matter is the same." β
"Impossible." Even though Atlas has been confirmed, Zhou Xin is still a little unconvinced, "If the substance in Candela's mouth is a neutron substance, then why didn't Kazlan's official discovery it when he applied for research before." Even if they hadn't noticed it earlier, and if they had found out later, the military would have just had to block the news and forbid Candela to continue researching, so why react with the utmost importance described in the diary? β
"This person doesn't know." There was a hint of grievance in the little girl's voice, "If you don't trust people's judgments, then just let Big Brother Spred take a look." β
Hearing this, Zhou Xin nodded at Spred beside him. Spred then sat down in his seat at the console, browsing through the technical documentation that Atlas had translated. Nearly half an hour passed, and he turned back to Zhou Xin with a strange expression and said, "That's right, judging from what is introduced in the document, the substance in Candela's mouth is indeed a neutron substance. β
"What the hell? If what Candela made was a neutron substance, what did the Kazlans use in their previous battles? Although Spred gave a positive result, Zhou's doubts were even greater.
"They were undoubtedly using neutron matter before." Atlas replied, "The results of the instrument's analysis are not deceiving. This statement was confirmed by Spred again, but as he spoke, he also had a puzzled look on his face.
Not just the two of them, but everyone in the command cabin was also puzzled by this inconsistent result. However, before they could figure it out, the little girl's next words shocked everyone, "Brother Captain, do you remember the incident that Candela recorded in his diary?" He fled the Republic of Kazran with 'that substance'. β
"Huh? What did you say? Zhou Xin's mind was still focused on the previous doubts, so he didn't react to what Atlas said at the first time. After she repeated it for the second time, Zhou Xin suddenly became excited, and his doubts not long ago were suddenly left behind him, "So it's very likely that those items we found after the explosion of the aircraft had neutron matter?!" Then, Zhou Xin's mind instantly remembered the small accident that happened in the Voyager before, "That fusiform device with radiation inside!" β
"That's what people think, too." Atlas nodded happily.
"I didn't expect that the neutron matter we were searching for was actually around us." Spred patted his head, "Why didn't we find out before, and even the previous radiation leak didn't let us know that the fusiform device actually contained neutron matter. β
"At that time, there was no equipment on board that could detect the radiation of neutron materials." The little girl explained, "This kind of equipment was only installed after the asteroid exploded. Then she added, "Besides, after an anomalous radiation leak occurred inside the ship, didn't the captain's brother ask the family to suspend the study of the fusiform device first." So people temporarily sealed it, who would have thought that there would be neutron matter in it. β
Before Atlas's words were finished, everyone in the command cabin was already excited, and Zhou Xin directly ordered the little girl to check the fusiform device. But at this time, Dart poured a basin of cold water, "Don't be so excited, it's not sure whether the thing stored in the fusiform device is a neutron substance or not." Even if it is determined, the exact amount of neutron matter stored in it is a question. However, as he said this, he had an unconcealed smile on his face.
But even so, Dart's words finally calmed down the crowd who couldn't help themselves. Tesla disappeared from the screen in a flash, and even Spred trotted out directly from the command cabin, as for where he went, Zhou Xin didn't want to know.
In less than half a minute, Atlas, who pretended to disappear, appeared on the screen again, and she said to Zhou Xin: "People have brought that fusiform device to the laboratory from the warehouse, and Big Brother Spred wanted to go in together but was stopped by others." Because people are not sure what kind of accidents will occur in the process of turning on the fusiform device, it is better to leave it all to the robot. It's not too late to let the researcher in until it's confirmed that it's relatively safe. β
"Very well done." Zhou Xin nodded, he hadn't noticed this before, and after hearing Atlas's reminder, he couldn't help but feel a little scared in his heart. It took him a moment to come back to his senses, and then he asked the little girl on the screen with concern, "When will I get the test results?" β
"It shouldn't take long." Atlas replied, "The incision at one end of the fusiform device has been sealed, but it doesn't take much time to open it. If you open it, you can confirm whether it is a neutron substance, but it will take longer to determine the exact amount of it inside. β
"As long as you can confirm that it is neutron matter inside, it will be fine." Zhou Xin nodded and said.
Although the little girl said that it would not take much time, in the nervous mood of everyone in the command cabin, nearly an hour passed before she came up with the final examination results......
