Conference

There was no vulgar opening remarks at the press conference, and after the host came to the stage, he directly arranged for Wang Shuyuan to speak.

Wang Shuyuan, as a senior bioengineer at Qiyuan, is also the first person responsible for repairing Wang Mang's DNA, and is naturally the first spokesperson.

Wang Shuyuan doesn't look like a person who is good at words, his slightly chubby body is straight, holding the microphone tightly in one hand and holding the speech in the other, which looks funny and unnatural.

"Hello everyone, my name is Wang Shuyuan, and I am an engineer at Kaizen Biotechnology. Wang Mang was originally a historical figure who lived more than 2,000 years ago, and finding his complete DNA seems out of reach. After a pause, Wang Shuyuan deliberately lengthened his voice and said, "But even if there is incomplete DNA, it is not difficult for us at Kaizen Technology to repair it, because we have the world's most cutting-edge DNA repair technology!" ”

"But when Wang Mang's DNA repair was completed, the system went wrong when we deposited it in the gene bank. Later, after our investigation, we found that the reason for the error in the system was that the gene data and a certain data in the gene bank overlapped 100%. Today, we are honored to invite Mr. Zhou Wei, the owner of this special gene, to the scene. Next, I would like to invite Mr. Zhou Wei to the stage! Wang Shuyuan exerted his strength, and moved his hands, which were not very flexible, towards the left side of the podium to make an inviting gesture.

At this time, the eyes of the audience were focused on this person who walked on the stage, only to see that this person was young, in his 20s, more than 1.70m tall, with big eyes and mouth, a chin that was raised forward, and a slightly peculiar appearance.

"Hello everyone, I'm Zhou Wei. Please advise. Zhou Wei seems to have the restraint that a boy of this age should have.

The crowd in the audience began to stir when they heard the sound, and the crowd outside the yellow line let out a burst of sighs, listening to the voice, it seemed that Zhou Wei did not have a bit of an imperial appearance. Journalists and online media people were also affected by the back row, and they also did not care about it, and only politely picked up their cameras and took a few photos to facilitate the exchange. Some of the academic masters in the front row looked at Zhou Wei's appearance and commented on their neighbors, some were extremely excited, and some were thoughtful.

Wang Shuyuan and Zhou Wei watched the audience talk a lot, and they didn't have anything to say, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while. At this time, a person in the middle of the front row signaled to the host for a while, and the host picked up the microphone and said: "Next, I invite Qi Yuan, President of Qiyuan Biotechnology, President Qi to come to the stage!" ”

Qi Yuan is also in his thirties, with a smooth and fair face, revealing an angular cold handsomeness, and the whole person exudes the temperament of a social elite. He walked up to the stage with his head held high, and when he saw that there was a lot of discussion in the audience, he smiled unhurriedly and looked at everyone in the audience. When the people in the audience began to realize, it fell silent.

Seeing this, he began to get straight to the point, announcing domineeringly: "Now I announce a few things. First, we secretly set up a subsidiary in the early years to develop a time machine, and now it has been successful. ”

There was silence in the audience, I don't know if I was so shocked that I couldn't speak, or I was stunned, everyone was waiting for Qi Yuan's next sentence.

"Second, we have found that history is not just like a long river, never looking back. Sometimes there is a gap in history, and the gap needs to be filled by people in the future, thus forming a closed loop. ”

There was still silence in the audience, and this time it seemed completely shocked by what you had said. Occasionally, the flash light turned on a few times, but as if he was afraid of affecting Qi Yuan to continue speaking, it quickly dimmed.

"Third!" Qi Yuan bent his arm, raised his index finger and pointed to the ceiling, and said, "I don't believe that there is a 1 in 100 billion chance of happening, so I think Zhou Wei is Wang Mang himself." Under our communication, Mr. Zhou Wei also agreed that one year later, he would like to carry the company's time machine back to 2,000 years ago to complete his own historical destiny! And this year, he will concentrate on learning the words and knowledge of the Han Dynasty in our company! ”

Qi Yuan's last sentence completely broke the silence of the scene, first of all, the reporters at the scene began to hold back, and they kept raising their hands to speak.

"Mr. Qi, as far as I know, your company is mainly engaged in biological genetic technology, why did you suddenly start a time machine, do you feel that the span is a bit big?" A reporter asked.

"Actually, when I was studying in Cambridge in the early years, I majored in physics. After returning to China, in view of the fact that the research atmosphere and equipment of physics in China at that time were not particularly excellent, I studied biochemistry at Linxin University, which I liked, and later established Kaizen Biotechnology. In the past few years, Kaizen has been on the right track, and I have never given up my research in physics, especially in the microscopic field, and have spent a lot of money to build a small particle accelerator. Qi Yuan replied.

"What does all this have to do with the time machine?" The reporter asked again.

"By chance, I discovered that when particles accelerate in a special environment that we create, when the velocity reaches a threshold, the particles will appear to overlap one by one, forming a continuous line. But when we looked deeper, we realized that they were actually constantly presenting scenes from the past – and it was the discoveries that inspired us and made us discover the possibility of time travel. With continuous R&D and experimentation, the technology has been fully mature in recent years, so I will open it to the public today. Qi Yuan faced the question and spoke eloquently.

"Mr. Qi, assuming that time travel can really be carried out, if someone travels in time and kills his grandfather, but he will disappear without his grandfather, and if he disappears, who killed his grandfather? Could it be that there is a parallel space? An old man in the front row came up with the famous "grandfather paradox" and seemed to want to refute it.

Qi Yuan saw that the person who asked the question was a senior in physics, and politely motioned for the senior to continue sitting, but his tone did not change at all, and he still said arrogantly: "First of all, I don't think that there is a parallel space, because when we carried out the living body crossing experiment in the later stage, we found experimental subjects with different bone ages in the framed area. Secondly, with regard to the grandfather paradox you mentioned, we have no experimental data to confirm this statement, but I have made a bold guess that when someone does travel back in time to kill their grandfather, their grandfather will become an extremely difficult figure to kill, that is, the process of killing him will be so hindered that there will be no way to kill him - this is the power of history! In other words, people who travel to the past will become a part of history. ”

"Is it true that people who have traveled back in time can't come back?" A young reporter chimed in without raising his hand.

"Yes." Qi Yuan's face did not change.

When he got an affirmative answer, there was an uproar at the scene, and many people in the audience began to look at Zhou Wei and whisper, wondering why Zhou Wei made this one-way trip.

At this time, Zhou Wei on the side stood up and said: "I have heard everyone's concern, thank you very much!" There may be no return, but I don't think it's a point of no return. If, as Mr. Qi said, history is a ring, and now that the conditions are ripe, I think I am still willing to fill this gap. ”

"But Wang Mang's ending is a tragedy."

"Understand, but who can guarantee that he will live to be 100% 69 years old (Wang Mang died in the chaos at the age of 69), right? It's not bad to be an emperor. Zhou Wei seems to be very comfortable with this.

"Zhou Wei, you are voluntary, I have no opinion, I respect the choice of citizens themselves." Zhu Yongyu, who was dressed in a police uniform, stood up slowly, his expression was very solemn, and said to Qi Yuan, "But, Mr. Qi, I want to ask, if Zhou Wei goes back to the past and changes the course of history, will all of us disappear now?" ”

Qi Yuan said: "Director Zhu, don't worry, everything Zhou Wei did when he went back to the past is a part of history, so it will not affect the modern era." Even if he left a simplified Chinese document in the Han Dynasty, as long as we have not found these cultural relics now, then it means that these things may have been wiped clean in the torrent of history. ”

"If Zhou Wei really goes back to the past, what will happen to the original Wang Mang?" Zhu Yongyu said.

"It turns out that there is no Wang Mang. At Zhou Wei's age, Wang Mang has not yet become famous, as long as he has modern knowledge and understanding of that period of history, he can easily 'be' Wang Mang. ”

"Okay, one last question, what if someone uses this time machine to do something bad?" Zhu Yongyu asked, as the director of the Public Security Bureau, he is very concerned about the safety of the time machine.

Qi Yuan shook his head slowly and said, "Director Zhu, I also said just now, if you go back to the past, then everything that person did will not affect the course of history. But if you travel to the future, this involves the problem of the conservation of total energy in space-time. First of all, we use Einstein's special relativity equation E=mc² to postulate human beings as energy bodies and send them to a bygone era, but with the passage of time, this energy will always return to the present. Suppose that when we send people to the future, not only will the energy consumed by activating the time machine, but when the time travel is successful, this energy body will also disappear out of thin air, and this energy body will be added out of thin air one day in the future - this is obviously not in line with the conservation of total energy in time and space. ”

For the too professional reply, Zhu Yongyu didn't know how to answer, so he sat down. But he understood that it was impossible to travel to the future.

"I have a question." Lu Jiuchuan raised his hand meaningfully, then stood up and said, "Is this machine safe?" Will there be a big explosion like the one before? ”

As soon as the words fell, a trace of imperceptible surprise flashed on Qi Yuan's face, and he immediately turned to Lu Jiuchuan, stared at him with cold eyes, and said, "I don't know what happened before, I'm sorry." ”

Lu Jiuchuan sat down stupidly, but his intuition told him that Qi Yuan was lying.

"Hey, boy, leave a contact information." A girl's cold voice sounded on the right-hand side.

"You are?" Lu Jiuchuan asked.

"I guess who are you? I'm a reporter for Linxin Daily. The place you are sitting in is my colleague Qin Kai. The girl stared at the podium and said without looking back.

"Ahh Haha, okay. My name is Lu Jiuchuan, hello hello. Lu Jiuchuan smiled awkwardly.

"Contact." The girl turned her head at this point, as if she didn't want to listen to nonsense.

At this time, Lu Jiuchuan realized that the girl's brown curly hair was shoulder-length, and a pair of big eyes were aimed at her coldly, looking very cold, but her wise melon seed face and tall and small nose seemed to highlight her extraordinarily cute.

"Have you seen enough?" The girl is really a typical iceberg beauty, speaking concisely and clearly.

"Ah, sweep me." Lu Jiuchuan clumsily picked up his mobile phone, opened WeChat, and showed his QR code business card.

"Drip-" At the same time as the code scanning sound sounded, the girl lowered her head and pressed "Add Contact", and then turned her head to face the podium, as if nothing had happened.

"Leng Qian, this name is really exactly the same as me." When Lu Jiuchuan saw the girl's name, he muttered to himself, and then looked at the podium as well.

In the following time, Qi Yuan answered all kinds of questions raised by the people below one by one, and showed the appearance of the time machine on the big screen, and Zhou Wei did not have the initial restraint at this moment, and began to cooperate with Qi Yuan to slowly integrate into such an atmosphere.

……

"This is the end of today's press conference, please leave the venue in an orderly manner." The host's crisp voice announced the end of the press conference.

Under the arrangement of the security guards, the crowd on the field dispersed one after another, and at this moment, Lu Jiuchuan and Leng Qian were still sitting in their positions. When the noise slowly subsided, Lu Jiuchuan stood up and prepared to leave. He looked at Leng Qian, who was still in his position, and said, "Why don't you leave yet?" ”

"I don't like to squeeze with other people."

"Actually, so am I." Lu Jiuchuan felt that he was cool at this time, turned around and left a back for the iceberg beauty, and left.

At the gate of Qiyuan Biotechnology, Lu Jiuchuan was about to drive back.

"Knock knock~" An old man in a brown shabby cotton jacket with messy hair knocked on his car window.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Lu Jiuchuan pulled down the car window, looked at the old man in front of him, and asked suspiciously.

"Are you Lu Hongwei's son?" The old man asked Lu Jiuchuan in a slightly hoarse voice.

When Lu Jiuchuan heard the words "Lu Hongwei", he was so excited that the hairs on his whole body stood up, isn't this the name of his deceased father?

Because of the accident many years ago, for Lu Jiuchuan's life, he not only lost his father, but also lost the guiding light of his life, so that now, he feels lost.

Lu Jiuchuan forcibly suppressed his emotions, and after calming down a little, he replied respectfully: "Yes, uncle." ”

"Hahaha." The old man nodded, smiled, and said, "Son, you look more and more like your father. Then the old man's expression darkened, and he gave Lu Jiuchuan a piece of advice a little mysteriously: "It's best not to have anything to do with the Kaizen creatures, you must remember!" ”

After the old man finished speaking, he left, leaving Lu Jiuchuan, who looked surprised, to stay in the car and not know why.

At this moment, in a corner across the street, a pair of eyes were staring at them with a cold light. The man silently picked up his phone: "He, finally appeared." ”
