Chapter Twenty-Four: Thriller Conspiracy Theories

"What?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present gasped, even Su Dai'er. Wang Wenqing scratched his head in confusion and frowned:

"Emperor crystal? What is that? โ€

"Miss Shangguan, you can't tell him the secret of the Emperor Crystal! If this kind of person is allowed to grasp the power of the spar, thenโ€”" Fang Wen exclaimed.

"Shut up and get out of the way, or I'll make a zipper and close your mouth right now, you know I do what I say!"

Wang Wenqing, who pricked up his ears and was about to listen to understand, was suddenly interrupted, and said impatiently to Fang Wen. Fang Wen was about to have a seizure, but was held down by Su Dai'er:

"Fang Wen, Wang Wenqing is a scientist, his ultimate goal is the same as ours, he has the right to know the secret of the spar. Let Miss Shangguan say it. โ€

The girl in pajamas smiled slightly and said:

"Yes, that's it. However, I want to talk to Wang Wenqing in more depth, there are some secrets that even you can't tell, so please all go out, watch the door of the house, don't let anyone in, I want to talk to Wang Wenqing alone. โ€

"Miss Shangguan! How can you be alone with such a dangerous man! At least let me stay and protect you! Fang Wen didn't have a long memory and was ready to obstruct.

"Alright, get out!"

Su Dai'er and the maid grabbed one of Fang Wen's arms and forcibly dragged her out, and the others also walked out of the room one after another. Seeing that the people were leaving, the girl in the pajamas stretched out her hand:

"Hello, Dr. Wang Wenqing. My name is Shangguan Qing'er, and we are meeting for the first time, but we should not be strangers anymore. โ€

"You know me?"

Since the end of the world, for the first time someone called himself "doctor", Wang Wenqing trembled as if he had been electrocuted, and stretched out his hand to hold Shangguan Qing'er's hand in a daze.

"Yes, I have read several papers that you published during your time at Tsinghua University. These papers were the things that my grandfather was most concerned about before he died, and at the last moment, he repeated the idea of your thesis, that isโ€”"

Shangguan Qing'er paused, and then said heavily:

"Energy reversal theory."

"Your grandfather...... Is it Academician Shangguanfeng? Professor of Astrophysics at the Department of Physics at Tsinghua University? Wang Wenqing didn't notice that his voice began to tremble.

"Yes. He used to mention you and your thesis before he died, and I was too young to understand what he was saying, and then, when that day finally came, 95% of the world's men died instantly, and my grandfather and my father did not escape that fate. My mother took me, protected by the Women's Salvation Army, from Yanjing all the way out of Yanjing and fled to Changshan City, Jizhou Province. There, my mother continued to study on the basis of the research of my grandfather, my father, and countless doctors like you, and finally I had a preliminary understanding of the causes of this apocalypse. Unfortunately, later the 'big event' happened, my mother also died, and the research was interrupted. Shangguan Qing'er said in a low voice.

"Oh? So, you have eyebrows? Wang Wenqing didn't care what the so-called "big event" was, but continued to ask.

"Yes, it's a bit of an eyebrow, but it's not a big result. Due to the lack of instruments, most of our inferences have been calculated with pen and paper, rather than with conclusive evidence, so I dare not instill in you too many uncertain thoughts, and the only thing that can be sure for now isโ€”"

As she spoke, Shangguan Qing'er tore off a piece of manuscript paper, drew a circle on the manuscript paper, wrote the word "earth" on the circle, and then drew many lines next to the circle:

"Through calculations, we found that these places are places where spatial cracks appear, and these places all have one thing in common, first, they are big cities, and satellite base stations are built, just like this Huating City. Second, it's all on the orbit of the satellite. Combined with the early stage of the Great Mutation, the appearance of cracks, and the process of particle explosion, you don't think it's very similar...... Is it much like the process of transmitting bands from a human base station? Dr. Wang Wenqing, do you remember what you proposed, the 'energy reversal theory'? Shangguan Qing'er said solemnly.

"I proposed that energy is two-dimensional, and that energy transmission is not just a one-way release, but a two-way return, but my ideas were considered heresy by the Physical Society, and the school almost punished me for it. Don't...... Am I right in my thoughts? Wang Wenqing trembled and grabbed the manuscript paper in front of his eyes and muttered.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled, suddenly lowered her voice, and showed a terrifying expression:

"Dr. Wang Wenqing, I don't dare to say that your theory is correct, after all, I also think this is nonsense. However, on the basis of you, I have made a bold conjecture -- what if, in fact, this catastrophe is controlled by some mysterious force behind it? Have you considered the possibility of using human technology, that is, satellite transmission technology, to create a huge feedback force, destroy space barriers, and create artificial wormholes? โ€

"What? Using human technology to destroy humanity itself? What a game of chess? What forces can foresee the future? Wang Wenqing said in disbelief.

"What if you don't foresee the future, but create it? Dr. Wang Wenqing, 200 years ago, human beings did not even master the method of using machinery to move quickly. But why, in these 200 years, has humanity progressed with God's help? Two hundred years ago, human beings were still riding in horse-drawn carriages, but two hundred years later, they began to drive the spaceship to the end of the universe. Human beings have a history of 10,000 years, and the previous 9,800 years, why are human beings stagnating, only the last 200 years, human beings are so powerful? Have you thought about this question? Shangguan Qing'er said solemnly.

"It's simple, because of the Industrial Revolution, because of the two world wars, because of the Cold War." Wang Wenqing frowned slightly.

"Is that possible? The Industrial Revolution, the World War, and the Cold War were all driven by a single force behind the scenes, and their purpose was to promote the scientific and technological progress of mankind and reach a new technological level, so that mankind could open the door to invasion from another dimension. How's that, isn't it scary to think about it? Shangguan Qing'er grabbed Wang Wenqing's wrist tightly and said coldly.

"Indeed...... It's scary to think about. A trace of cold sweat broke out on Wang Wenqing's forehead.

"That's what Mother finally came to the conclusion that some mysterious force was pushing humanity to create a guillotine for itself. And the big change is the moment when the guillotine's gate knife falls. This conclusion was also agreed by biologists, because they found that those monsters are constantly evolving, constantly having higher intelligence, and they can live without eating people, but their favorite food is humans. This shows that these monsters themselves are ......"

"Pesticides." Wang Wenqing said in a deep voice.

"That's right, your analogy is apt. Those monsters are equivalent to pesticides, and their goal is to kill all humans. But ......"

"However, the power of pesticides is not strong enough, and some humans have developed drug resistance, that is, potential people like me have not been killed, but have produced great power, this is the side effect of pesticides, right?" Wang Wenqing said with a smile.

"Your comprehension is amazing, Dr. Wang Wenqing. Indeed, as you say, pesticides have not wiped out humans, but have made them resistant. So, as we predicted, the mysterious forces began to use a new type of insecticide. I'm sorry to tell youโ€”"

As she spoke, Shangguan Qing'er slowly raised her head:

"The second shock is already here!"
