Chapter 2: The Stone of True Knowledge

Five days ago, the San Francisco Sunspot Joint Laboratory.

Look at the lab bench sealed in a special container, the surface of which emits a little black fluid like the light of the stars.

Obervis, academician of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States, and many top scientists from various countries finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

After 183 days of hard work, they finally synthesized this unknown material called the Stone of True Knowledge.

"I really didn't expect the Stone of True Knowledge to exist in this form."

"Hehe, don't say it's you, who of you here today has thought of it?"

"Yes, yes, if it weren't for that solar storm four years ago, we probably wouldn't have thought of such a thing as the Stone of True Knowledge if we lived another hundred years. Don't even say it, who can come up with this synthesis method! ”

…………

"Okay, don't discuss it, since the things explained above have been figured out, hurry up and collect data, write a written report and hand it in. Also, I believe you are also full of curiosity about this mysterious stone of true knowledge! ”

With Obervis's words, many members of the laboratory gradually calmed down their excitement about the success of creating the Stone of Knowledge, and began a series of property tests on the unknown material.

Conference Room 3, Federal Headquarters in New York

"Since everyone has arrived, then I won't talk nonsense, let's see what kind of research results the sunspot laboratory has given us, and send the documents down." Edington sat down in the throne and said this.

The assistant gentleman, who stood behind the white gentleman, quickly put that into practice.

I saw him quickly take out his black briefcase, and then take out a dozen or so special file bags for storing top-secret documents, and distribute them to everyone present except himself.

When he had done all this, he put away his briefcase and exited the conference room without a sound.

With the sound of the document bag being unpacked, the entire conference room fell silent again, and all that could be heard was the occasional sound of paper turning.

After a while, Shen Ziang, an old gentleman from Huaguo, broke the peace first.

"Can Kuroko Labs be able to determine the authenticity of the document, after all, this is something that can only exist in fantasy in the past." This thin man said such a thing while sitting precariously.

Edington only smiled slightly after hearing this, and replied very confidently: "The authenticity of the document is beyond doubt, and on this point, the Kuroko Laboratory has checked it several times, and now we need to discuss how to use it." Perhaps, time is running out for us. ”

As soon as these words came out, time in the conference room seemed to stand still again. Except for Edington and Shen Ziang's faces did not change, the rest of the dozen or so people became very heavy.

(2) It can emit material waves similar to electromagnetic waves, and it is extremely disturbing, so that it cannot be recorded and deeply detected.

…………

Summary report: The occurrence of жЭなら originated from the global solar storm on June 28, 2019 (the event was later called the "sunspot event" by various countries), and 12 seconds before the storm arrived, many countries around the world received a highly disordered flow of information.

In the following years, countries set up Kuroko laboratories to decipher the message, and invested a huge amount of manpower and material resources in the decipherment project.

Under the accumulation of sky-high resources, the sunspot laboratory finally lived up to expectations, and completed the partial orderly restoration of information flow about half a year ago, that is, on September 14, 2023, and at the same time, the 34th super cloud computing computer was also scrapped.

The recovered information was summarized and calculated, sampled and compared, and finally two available information were sorted out:

I.: An unknown material, жЭなら, that is, the method of making the Stone of True Knowledge.

II.: A set of highly disordered symbols. After dozens of discussions by hundreds of authoritative scientists in the Kuroko Laboratory, it was unanimously agreed that this was a formula established with an unknown sequence. There has even been speculation that this may be the formula for everything. But alas, no one understands it.

It is only half a year later that the Kuroko Lab (hereinafter referred to as "we" or "us") has truly turned the Stone of True Knowledge into something real and visible.

We don't know why the flow of information appeared on Earth. I believe that we will not know for a long time in the future, that this period could be tens of billions of years, and that humanity would have perished long ago if humanity had not been out of the solar system in five billion years. Therefore, we will not delve into this issue.

What we want to show is this: in the process of examining the properties of the Stone of Knowledge, we have made an incredible discovery that the Stone of Knowledge can emit waves similar to α waves, one of the four basic brain waves.

We can venture to assume that this material, which is entirely composed of inorganic matter, has become an unknown intelligent life.

Maybe it's just an instinctive subconscious, but that's a miracle, isn't it?

Maybe what we get is something that can change the world!

Therefore, with our agreement, it has been decided to request you for additional funding and additional human support. Because according to our rough estimates, if we want to carry out the next stage of principle exploration, the existing resource allocation will only be enough to consume less than half a year.

In fact, whether this assumption is true or not, the particularity of the Stone of Truth is non-deniable. Such a thing cannot appear for no reason, and the message it represents does not need to be reminded that you understand.

There has never been a state in the world, only disorderly creation!

There is a crack in the door of the new era, and our mission is to push it open and tear it down!
