Tian Xuanxuan didn't think much about it, nodded, agreed, and then talked with Wang Xueyuan as she walked.

The experimental area on the fourth floor, as demonstrated on the screen just now, is divided into twenty-four types.

This covers the main directions of Wang Xueyuan's current research, as well as the key projects in hand.

The two discussed and exchanged ideas in scientific research and disciplines, and more often than not, Wang Xueyuan was talking.

Tian Xuanxuan only felt that she had benefited a lot.

Su Bei and Wang Xiaoyu followed behind, and they were also interested, and their eyes followed Wang Xueyuan's explanation, from micro to macro, from the universe to genes......

All-encompassing, magnificent.

In a few moments, this visit to the Shimmer Laboratory has finally come to an end.

"Professor Wang, thank you for this invitation, which has benefited me and my students a lot. ”

Tian Xuanxuan took the students to make a final thank-you.

Wang Xueyuan nodded and said with a smile: "You are the future of our Su Province. If you have the opportunity, welcome to come back to Shimmer Lab. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Lu Xiaoyuan and ordered, "Xiaoyuan, you take the students downstairs and do some interesting experiments at the molecular layer." I chatted with Mr. Tian and Su Bei for a few more words. ”

As soon as Han Xiaoxing, Luo Xiaohei and others heard that they could get started with practical operations, they immediately became excited.

Lu Xiaoyuan led everyone downstairs.

"Professor Wang, what do you have to say to the two of us alone?"

Tian Xuanxuan blinked lightly and asked.

Su Bei also looked at Wang Xueyuan curiously, waiting for the old man in the scientific research community to speak.

"Teacher Tian, Wang is old, but this country, or the entire human race, has not grown up yet. ”

Wang Xueyuan suddenly sighed, and his gentle and elegant temperament looked extremely old at this moment.

"And many of my scientific research projects are only one tenth, one percent. I'm worried that I won't be able to do this work for the rest of my life.

"Therefore, in the past five years, I have been looking for a successor, someone who can inherit my philosophy, fit my academics, and complete my scientific research. ”

Tian Xuanxuan and Su Bei were slightly moved, the old man in front of them was a scientific research worker who really cared about the country and human civilization.

"Professor Wang, you are still very young. ”

Tian Xuanxuan couldn't help but say, but Wang Xueyuan raised his palm and interrupted his words.

Su Bei secretly thought that people in this world still didn't know that becoming a high-level base warrior could prolong their lifespan.

Wang Xueyuan's gaze fell on Tian Xuanxuan, and continued: "I once thought that this heir was Lu Xiaoyuan, but no. ”

"She's still a little way from the heir I want. Until one day, I met you. ”

"Your views on the law of entropy increase and string theory are refreshing to me. ”

"I didn't make a decision lightly, but after some research and observation. ”

His eyes were solemn, his face was solemn, and he asked, "Teacher Tian, are you willing to join the Shimmer Lab and become the successor of the proton layer?"

Tian Xuanxuan and Su Bei suddenly showed shocked looks, what Professor Wang Xueyuan wanted to talk about turned out to be this matter!

"Teacher Tian is so good?"

Su Bei glanced up and down at this beautiful teacher who had been with her for two years, and seemed to know her for the first time.

I still remember her roar when she was urging her homework, her trembling in the face of dark phobia, her tears when she was on the phone with her parents, and her bravery at the Suzhou Cultural and Sports Center.

So vulnerable, yet so strong.

Now, he was actually caught by Taishan Beidou, an academic student in Soviet Province, at a glance.

"Professor Wang, I'...... My student hasn't graduated yet, I'm sorry I can't ...... at the moment"

Tian Xuanxuan struggled with her face, thinking of Subei beside her, as well as the students waiting downstairs, and other students in the second year of high school, she was reluctant in her heart.

Wang Xueyuan squeezed out a smile, nodded with satisfaction, and interrupted her again: "Teacher Tian, you don't have to be in a hurry to refuse. ”

He turned around and walked to the main console next to the electronic screen just now, and said with a smile, "Didn't you just ask me what the purpose of this starry sky arranged on it is?"

"Now, I'll tell you!"

Wang Xueyuan pressed and held the buttons on both sides at the same time to turn on the hidden changes.

The vast cosmic starry sky on the entire ceiling suddenly flickered and turned into deep darkness, and a few bright lights were scattered on the scene.

"It's ...... Or the universe?"

Tian Xuanxuan and Su Bei glanced at each other, a little puzzled, what is the difference between now and just now.

Wang Xueyuan smiled slightly and asked, "Teacher Tian, Subei, do you know where the world's largest astronomical telescope is?"

The two of them were shocked and thought of a possibility.

"Professor Wang, are you talking about the 'Heavenly Eye'?"

Tian Xuanxuan looked up at the dark and lonely starry sky and asked.

Located in Qiannan City, Xiamen, this Tianyan is a 500-meter aperture spherical radio telescope with a cost of 667 million yuan, and can observe the edge of the universe at the farthest.

This is a wonder of the world created by humans.

Since nineteen years ago, Tianyan has been searching for extraterrestrial civilizations, but has found nothing.

Wang Xueyuan nodded and said, "Yes, although the scene on this ceiling is still a universe, it is no longer a universe of electronic synthesis. ”

"It's the real ...... Universe!"

"Ten years ago, I was fortunate enough to obtain the remote observation permission of the Sky Eye, and the starry sky in front of you is the one that the Sky Eye is staring at now. ”

Tian Xuanxuan and Su Bei were so shocked that they were about to go numb, the reason why the Shimmer Laboratory is ranked among the top ten scientific research bases in the country is probably the core secret!

"Professor Wang, what do you mean ......?"

Tian Xuanxuan asked cautiously, afraid that her voice would disturb the silent starry sky.

"My first meaning is that when you become the successor of the Shimmer Lab, the remote observation rights of this Sky Eye will also belong to you. ”

Wang Xueyuan first said this temptation that Tian Xuanxuan couldn't refuse at all.

It is impossible for any scientific researcher to refuse this kind of permission.

However, that's not all.

Wang Xueyuan's gaze turned to Su Bei's body and asked, "Su Bei, although you covered it up well just now, you can't escape my eyes. ”

"You recognize my metal sailboat, and you sense the power that flourishes in it. ”

"What's in your pocket?"

Su Bei was startled, holding down the hand of the crimson card, a little at a loss, and couldn't hide anything from the other party.

Wang Xueyuan's genetic talent is called "conduction", and he has an extremely keen perception of heat and temperature.

So, he had already noticed the anomaly!

"Ahem, Professor Wang, I don't understand what you mean, I don't have anything in my pocket. ”

The dead pig in northern Jiangsu was not afraid of boiling water and said.

"Hehe, son of the Dragon King of Kyoto, why are you so lazy. Wang Xueyuan smiled disapprerovingly, "Since you don't want to say it, then let me say it." ”

With a slight press, the dark compartment on the experimental table suddenly opened, and the metal sailboat trembled and flew out quickly.

This time, northern Jiangsu can no longer cover it up.

The direction in which the metal sailboat flew, impartially, was exactly where he was standing now.

His face darkened, and he stretched out his fingers to pinch the metal sailboat that pounced on him.

"Subei, what are you hiding?"

This time, even Tian Xuanxuan couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but ask out loud.

"Hehe, Subei, look at the lines on this metal sailboat, it doesn't look like the words of an alien civilization?"

Wang Xueyuan didn't wait for him to answer, and said directly.

Su Bei was stunned, he had also used the "snowflake" talent to carefully observe the lines on the metal sailboat, but he didn't see the clues.

Could it be that this is the text of the astral fungus family?

But what is written in it?

"Professor Wang, could it be you...... Cracked the text on this metal sailboat?"

He felt the two forces of the metal sailboat and the crimson card, and asked curiously.

Tian Xuanxuan's eyes also focused on the metal sailboat with these words.

Could it be that Professor Wang Xueyuan has found clues about extraterrestrial civilizations?

"It's not accurate to say that it's cracked, after all, there is no relevant literature to refer to. ”

Wang Xueyuan shook his head and said, "However, I have carefully studied all the items and words in the Heavenly Flowing Fire, and compared and confirmed them with the items in several other locations in the world. ”

"I finally deciphered some of the messages. ”

Su Bei couldn't help but look at him expectantly, there may be a deep-seated secret of the "red" organization here.

Tian Xuanxuan blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, "Professor Wang, I don't know what this information is?"

Wang Xueyuan lightly pressed the main console next to him, and the screen switched to a three-dimensional image of a metal sailboat.

With the pulling, it shows a complex pattern.

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the lower right corner of the metal sailing ship and said, "The text I have so far is the lower right paragraph of the metal sailing boat. ”

They mean the same thing as where many goods are produced today, referring to a starry sky coordinates. ”

Su Bei suddenly understood in his heart that it seemed that this sailboat was indeed the creation of an alien civilization, and the place of production was also marked in the lower right corner, just like "made in xia".

Tian Xuanxuan thought of something, compared with the Tianyan observation permission just now, she couldn't help but change her complexion, and asked, "Professor, the coordinates you are talking about are the ......?"

"Not bad!"

Wang Xueyuan nodded heavily, stretched out his hand to the star map on the ceiling, and said, "The location of this dark starry sky is the coordinates recorded on the sailboat!"

"It's 2.73 million light-years away from us, which means it's 2.73 million years at the speed of light. ”

Su Bei and Tian Xuanxuan's eyes suddenly fell on the pitch-black star curtain, and then asked, "Professor Wang, but why is it pitch black here?"

If the alien civilization that produced metal sailing ships is in this location, why are there no galaxies and planets?

"Hehe, that's what I have to say. ”

Wang Xueyuan looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "I have already said earlier that the possibility of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations is almost 100 percent. ”

"However, since Tianyan has already started the search for extraterrestrial civilizations nineteen years ago, why has it still found nothing after so many years?"

He asked this question to two people at once.

Although the subject knowledge of northern Jiangsu is copied from many people and has a very high level, it lacks integration and has not really been used for its own purposes.

Although Tian Xuanxuan has been studying theoretical knowledge, she is limited by the environment and circle of scientific research, and knows very little about the secrets of these frontiers.

Wang Xueyuan saw that the two of them didn't speak, so he replied: "We divide the civilizations in this universe into ten grades, that is, level 1 civilization to level 10 civilization. ”

"The current human race is at level 0.72. ”

He said that Su Bei and Tian Xuanxuan had heard of it, and this was a scientist named Nikolai Kardashev who proposed the classification of cosmic civilization.

The hallmark of a first-level civilization is to become the master of a planet's energy, which means that humans can dominate the sum of the energy of the entire world.

The two of them nodded, signaling in understanding.

Wang Xueyuan then said: "And among these civilization levels, once they reach the third level, they have the ability to build the legendary Dyson Sphere." ”

"This is an artificial sphere that can perfectly exploit stellar energy, and can completely hide the entire civilization in the sphere. ”

"Where it was supposed to be, it would be pitch black, with only faint traces left. ”

Speaking of this, Su Bei and Tian Xuanxuan finally came to their senses, glanced at each other, and said, "Professor Wang, you said that Tianyan has never been able to discover extraterrestrial civilizations, the real reason is that these civilizations are hidden?"

It is impossible to get nothing with the ability of the Heavenly Eye, so the only possibility is that these civilizations have evaded the detection and search of the Heavenly Eye.

"Yes, that's a reasonable explanation, but it's also a terrible explanation!"

Wang Xueyuan sighed, "If all the third-level civilizations with Dyson spheres in the scope of our observation are there, then where have the first-level and second-level civilizations gone?"

There was a deep worry in his eyes.

Su Bei's expression also froze, and he speculated with concern: "Professor Wang, do you mean that these first-level or second-level civilizations have all fallen?"

Tian Xuanxuan's eyebrows frowned together.

Wang Xueyuan's gaze swept over the two of them, and he sighed: "This is exactly what I'm worried about, we humans can't exist alone, we ...... There may not be enough time to grow into a Level 3 civilization. ”

"These advanced civilizations in the universe, in order to survive and develop, will continue to colonize and plunder resources, and we are their target. ”

Su Bei clenched the metal sailboat in an instant and asked, "Professor Wang, what level of civilization may have reached to make this sailboat?"

Wang Xueyuan and Tian Xuanxuan looked at him together, as if they didn't expect him to have such a big reaction.

"Northern Jiangsu, if the coordinates of this metal sailing ship point, there really is a civilization. ”

Wang Xueyuan pointed to the pitch-black star map above and said, "They are 2.73 million light years away from us, but they can come across the universe. ”

"Then, their civilization level has reached at least level four, and they have already stepped out of the galaxy, and they can initially use wormholes and ultra-distant space technology. ”

Su Bei's heart was uncomfortable for a while, the fourth level, far beyond the current human race, if it really comes, destroy human civilization, and do not hesitate to pinch an ant to death.

"Professor Wang, if they had already come nineteen years ago, where are they now? Why hasn't they come for a long time with their level of civilization?"

He raised his head and asked the last doubt in his heart.
