Chapter 5: The Assassin in the Shadows (Part 5) 2

"Yes, sir. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" The officer received the order and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Ye Kexin.

"Wait, let's go again, President Feng called over."

"Got it, sir." The officer saluted and turned to leave, while Ye Kexin began to pace towards his office with the strange gray shadow on the previous photo echoing in his mind.

"According to the latest report of the institute, a study has been completed and shipborne tests are underway." Feng Fengxiang took a printed report, rushed into Ye Kexin's office, and smashed the materials on Ye Kexin's desk. Feng Fengxiang's sudden visit startled Ye Kexin.

"Didn't you say you'd be back in a while? Why are you in such a hurry? Ye Kexin put on her gold-rimmed glasses, picked up the information that Feng Fengxiang put on her desk, and began to read. The most obvious is the title above.

Report on the results of the study of the tachyon engine.

"Faster-than-light engines?" Ye Kexin was puzzled, "It stands to reason that nothing can exceed the speed of light, and the local objects proposed in the theory of relativity cannot exceed the speed of light in a vacuum, so it can be limited a little." Don't fool me, I'm an expert at this. ”

"I know, I know." Feng Fengxiang sat on the sofa and drank the cold green tea in front of him, "But you should also know that this law is only a theoretical regulation, and on September 18, 2011, someone in Italy discovered a neutrino that can exceed the speed of light, which is the best proof, and have you forgotten how the fault space generation is actually generated?" ”

"You're right, I know all of this, but it's impossible for the battleship as a whole to reach the speed of light, the different inertia of each object determines that they can't reach the same speed at the same time, which will only bring disaster, the current structure of the battleship can only support the speed of four hundred meters per second at most, and no matter how fast it is, the battleship will disintegrate." Ye Kexin solemnly pointed out what disasters Feng Fengxiang's superluminal speed in the sky would bring, but this would not cause the slightest blow to Feng Fengxiang, his super thick skin was on the one hand, and on the other hand, this research result was not studied by Feng Fengxiang.

"You can see for yourself what the research report is talking about, but I watched it all night, and I believe it after reading it anyway." Feng Fengxiang was not moved by Ye Kexin's words at all, and was still full of confidence to Ye Kexin's words, and what was written in this report was very scientific.

"Really?" Ye Kexin was a little shaken, even if she was an expert in this area, but it was the research institute that made this report, the group of people who were in Bermuda all the year round were wholeheartedly committed to scientific research, even if they treated people differently from ordinary people, but the professional quality was there, Ye Kexin sometimes had to believe that the research results made by the people in the institute were like the deflection shield released by the research institute last time, Ye Kexin didn't know its principle, It's just that none of the researchers in the institute have the kind of eye to turn theory into reality.

Ye Kexin put on his glasses again, picked up a thick dozen printer paper on the table, and began to look carefully at the words on it, including those calculation formulas, theoretical derivations, and experimental processes and results. After a while, Ye Kexin let out a sigh, put the printing paper back on the table, let out a long breath, and pinched the slightly swollen temples with one hand.

"How? Do you see? Feng Fengxiang leaned forward, his face was full of curiosity and excitement, he really wanted to see Ye Kexin's expression of admitting defeat.

"Got it." Ye Kexin nodded, "In short, it is to create a wormhole and carry out the so-called time travel. ”

"What do you mean?" Feng Fengxiang was a little puzzled, "I think what it says is very realistic." ”

"You're you." Ye Kexin glanced at Feng Fengxiang, "However, creating a wormhole will produce a lot of uncertainties, such as the creation of a wormhole will cause objects passing through the wormhole to exceed the speed of light, and the time of objects with faster than the speed of light will rewind backwards in another coordinate system, which is what we call traveling back to the past." However, there are a lot of paradoxes going back in time, such as the grandfather paradox, the mad scientist paradox and so on. Secondly, the creation of wormholes requires changing the topology of space, and negative energy is also required. It's incredible that so many technical difficulties have allowed the people of the institute to break through. ”

"Well, I know a little about the grandfather paradox, what is the mad scientist paradox?" Feng Fengxiang's train of thought didn't keep up all of a sudden, and he was stuck in the paradox of time regression.

"Hey." Ye Kexin sighed, "It's just a scientist who fired a shot at himself a minute ago when the bullet was not loaded through the wormhole, what was the result?" ”

"Of course he disappeared on his own." Feng Fengxiang took it for granted, and at the same time muttered in a low voice, "Who would be so stupid." ”

Ye Kexin didn't hear this, and then thought about Feng Fengxiang and asked, "Then who do you say killed him?" ”

"It's himself, it's suicide."

"But he was dead before the gun was loaded, how could he go and kill himself a minute ago?"

"This ......," Feng Fengxiang was speechless. Yes, why didn't I think that how could a bullet be fired without loading? "So according to you, wormholes can't exist?" Feng Fengxiang's trust in the institute was somewhat shaken.

"Stephen Hawking once said that wormholes are unstable, so they are useless. Do you think the institute will come up with something useless? Ye Kexin shook her head, expressing helplessness. But Ye Kexin said this, Feng Fengxiang was even more confused.

"You will say that wormholes are impossible, and then you will say that wormholes are possible, what do you want to express? I think you've been transferred to the Institute. Feng Fengxiang waved his hand.

"I mean, the institute has simplified everything, and I should say that they have built a simple wormhole that is cheap and durable." Ye Kexin couldn't hide her excitement a little, and she couldn't help but burst out with two bad words.

"Lite? Is it reliable? Feng Fengxiang has been completely defeated, and talking to Ye Kexin is like playing the piano to a cow, the cow in it.

"Of course, they eliminated all the matter in the path, including light, all particles, and dust using the relative effect of negative energy and positive energy, to create an ideal absolute vacuum, and such a space can allow the existence of physical laws of a higher dimension, that is to say, they moved the physical laws of a certain dimension above the four-dimensional space to the four-dimensional space, or they expanded a curled high-latitude space, instead of our warships entering the high-dimensional space to make a jump. In this way, the time that exceeds the speed of light will slow down and will no longer be applicable to warships in four-dimensional space, that is, we can directly make high-dimensional jumps in three-dimensional space to achieve the effect of faster-than-light. Do you understand? Ye Kexin was a little excited.

"What happens to what is excluded?" Feng Fengxiang thought for a moment and asked.

"I said it would be gone. It's like suddenly scooping a spoonful out of the middle of a jar of water. Ye Kexin thought about the wording metaphor and explained to Feng Fengxiang, "Did you understand the previous one?" ”

"No, but hearing you say that, I want to transfer you even more." Feng Fengxiang shook his head silently.

"That's because you're too stupid, go back and understand it well. It's as if you have to go through a sterile passage from one room to another. Ye Kexin finally tried to explain as if struggling, but it was still Feng Fengxiang's sigh and shaking his head.

"Okay, I don't have to understand, I know this thing is very easy to use, it's safe." Feng Fengxiang made a gesture, signaling Ye Kexin not to explain anymore, and then he could stop, "That, what did you call me here?" ”

"Ah, I forgot, I'm so excited." Ye Kexin smiled, scratched the back of her head with some embarrassment, and handed the tablet on the table to Feng Fengxiang, which showed the cruise record of the "Krupp" frigate that Ye Kexin directly retrieved from the fleet cruise record database. Such a cruise record will be sent back every hour, and there are sorting personnel in the laurel base to integrate and analyze, Ye Kexin of course has the right to directly access the cruise record database, and it is easy to call up this record.

"What is this?" Feng Fengxiang took the tablet and asked the same thing as Ye Kexin said when he saw it just now.

"I think it's very discordant whether the cruise record sent back by the frigate 'Krupp' twenty minutes in advance has noticed a strange shade of gray on it."

"Strange gray shadows, I see, it's quite discordant, but what does that mean? Pilgrim invasion? But why didn't the 'Stalingrad' fleet in Pluto's defensive orbit raise the alarm? Feng Fengxiang wondered.

"When you say that, it reminds me that I really didn't think about it before, and the Pilgrim invasion is indeed a possibility." After listening to Feng Fengxiang's argument, Ye Kexin immediately pinched his chin and pondered, "It stands to reason that the 'Stalingrad' fleet sent a patrol warship and an aviation thunder satellite that takes into account reconnaissance missions are enough to cover all the defensive orbits of Pluto's outer ring, and there should be no possibility of invasion, but this gray shadow must not rule out the possibility of being a pilgrim." ”

"I'm just casually saying, is it possible that there are fragments of the battleship left over from the previous battle?" Feng Fengxiang thought for a moment.

"Until the results of the research institute's analysis come out, everything is possible, since all the requirements are studied, then send a destroyer squad to this area for reconnaissance missions, they are enough to deal with all contingencies." Ye Kexin said.

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Ye Kexin said to them. The door then slid open, and a figure stood in front of the door of Ye Kexin's office.

"Lieutenant General Kim, come in." Ye Kexin thought that the person at the door beckoned, and Lieutenant General Jin gave a military salute before walking into the office, and the door closed with a bang.

"Sit down, I'm looking for you for something." Ye Kexin gestured to the sofa next to Feng Fengxiang, signaling that General Jin could sit down, and Lieutenant General Jin responded with a "thank you" and then sat next to Feng Fengxiang.

"Just spotted something strange in the asteroid ring." Ye Kexin opened his mouth to speak, while Feng Fengxiang handed the tablet that Ye Kexin handed him before to Lieutenant General Jin. Picking up the tablet, Kim began to look at the picture carefully.

"It's a record I retrieved from the cruising log library, and the unknown shade of gray on it is being analyzed, but if you want to know what it is as soon as possible, you need to send a battleship to observe it up close. You are the supreme commander of the fleet stationed at Laurel Base, and I would like to ask you to send a team of destroyers to this area to reconnoiter and bring back clearer information. ”

"I see." Lieutenant General Kim put the tablet on the coffee table in front of him, got up and saluted, and then turned to go out.

"Looks like you've already arranged it." Feng Fengxiang let out a sigh, "Then there is no point in me staying here any longer, I'll go first." ”

"Wait a minute, I still have something to do with you." Ye Kexin said, "Do you remember the explosion of the nitrogen 13 storage tank that happened a few hours ago? ”

"Of course I remember, how can I forget." Feng Fengxiang, who had just gotten up, was called by Ye Kexin and sat back on the sofa again.

"I'm a little worried about the fact that all of the TSAS teams I sent returned, but they found nothing to explore the interior of the blast zone, and one of the team members almost lost their lives." Ye Kexin's eyebrows frowned slightly, and the words worried were written all over her face, and her eyes were a little erratic, as if she was thinking about something else.

"What, what do you think? Or do you think this is related to the asteroid ring-belt shadow event? Feng Fengxiang was a little curious, leaning on the armrest of the sofa with one hand, and probing in the direction of Ye Kexin.

"I didn't think about these two things together before you came, but after hearing you say that this shadow could be a Pilgrim warship, I think it's no accident that these two things happened one after the other." Ye Kexin put his arms on the table and looked at Feng Fengxiang, "Is it possible that it is the pilgrim who destroyed the nitrogen 13 storage tank?" ”

"There is no way, the pilgrims will never be able to descend to the moon. The probes all over the moon are not decorations, and if a pilgrim lands on the moon, the moon's automatic defense system will work without us having to do it. Feng Fengxiang's categorical tone was extremely resolute, and it sounded a bit like boasting about how strong the Normandy line was Hitler.

"I know this, but I have re-watched the footage captured by the built-in camera in Major Brandton's helmet a few times, and the black shadow that flashed through his lower passage and the black shadow that shot at him did exist, and the camera could not fake this, and Major Brandton was indeed injured, and the penetrating wound on his shoulder and the frostbite from the low temperature have not healed yet, you must not deny it."

"You're right." Feng Fengxiang also frowned and nodded, Ye Kexin's statement is indeed well-documented, and it is not unfounded, but if Ye Kexin's statement is true, the shadow is the pilgrim warship, and the one who invades the Laurel Crown base is the pilgrim, which means that the pilgrims have the ability to go so deep into the interior of the solar system, but why did they not dive into the earth in diameter, but chose the Earth's satellite Moon, which is a bit unreasonable, instead of reaching the target directly, they have to take a long detour, Although it is a bit like the springboard tactics used by the United States in the Pacific theater during World War II, it does not make sense that there is no influx of troops, no capture of the Laurel base, and only an invasion and destruction. The pilgrims went to great lengths just to blow up a nitrogen-13 storage tank?

"But have you ever wondered why they didn't use this technology to invade the Earth on a massive scale? Instead, choose to wreak havoc in the Laurel base? Feng Fengxiang thought about what he had thought about before, and there was a sentence that summed it up.

"I thought about it, but I didn't come up with a conclusion, but there is a guess."

"Tell me about it."

"Do you remember what you told me earlier that the faster-than-light engine was going to be tested ship-based?"

"What does the two events have to do with each other?" Feng Fengxiang was puzzled.

"Is the experiment conducted by one battleship or is it all the ships being tested together?" Ye Kexin pointed out the key point.

"Huh?" Feng Fengxiang was stunned for a moment, "You mean, this Pilgrim battleship is an experimental work of new technology?" ”

"That's right, it makes sense that the pilgrims just invaded the base of the laurel wreath, and they wanted to carve a sign of their visit to the moon."

"That's right." Feng Fengxiang suddenly had an epiphany as if he had been enlightened, "It makes sense, it makes sense, so according to what you say, will this Pilgrim warship evacuate the solar system soon?" ”

"Probably not." Ye Kexin shook his head.

"Why, the experiment was successful." Feng Fengxiang asked puzzled.

"They should have a plan for the next step, although I don't know if they have such political relations with humans, but if they do, I think they will be able to analyze the relationship between our fleet and the earth, and if there is a joint action in this regard, we will be in danger." Ye Kexin lay on the desk.

"You're thinking too much, aren't you?" Feng Fengxiang looked at the long black hair scattered on the table with a big and a small look, "This should be impossible." ”

"Didn't you also remove the 'should'?" Ye Kexin didn't get up.

Indeed, Feng Fengxiang can't make this conclusion, after all, the other party also has a higher life that is the same as himself, and cluster products such as the social system will definitely exist, and if there is a social system, then there must be classes, and with classes, there should be politics. It's not hard to imagine, but if you have to understand, you still feel a little awkward, as if the gorilla is sitting in the office of the president of the United States commanding the four armies of the navy, land and air force, which makes people uncomfortable, but you have to admit that the pilgrims have the ability to analyze political relations, although Feng Fengxiang doesn't know what they can analyze, but there is no doubt about this, Feng Fengxiang said that it should not be just self-comforting.
