"The buttered side of toast will always face down when it falls."

"Cats always fall on all fours when they fall in the air."

"One day in 1842, my grandfather experimented with this phenomenon, but he discovered something unimaginable."

"The discovery of a cat spinning in the air that produces a huge amount of energy directly breaks up the scientific community that is still developing."

"Many scientists went crazy as soon as they learned about this incident, and some of them spent their lives studying the principle of butter cats, and finally died of depression."

"In order to maintain stability, the countries sealed off this discovery and formed a federation with sufficient energy, which continues to this day."

After returning to Rorschach's lab from the Federal Energy Center, Li Lun listened to Rorschach's story.

Even Li Lun, who is relieved now, is still frowning.

The impact he received was too great, and if it weren't for the memory of an interstellar civilization, I'm afraid it would take a long time to recover.

"It turns out that this is the reason why the world's science and technology are so backward......."

Li Lun suddenly understood what he had been puzzled about.

In the 18th century, when the steam engine had just appeared, countless people were not yet civilized and wise, and people who believed in gods abounded.

When the theory of physics has not yet been fully established, the sudden discovery of the existence of butter cats will indeed have a greater impact.

"But since the fission effect data I gave can be operated, doesn't that mean that there is no problem at the basic physical level?" Li Lun asked strangely.

Rorschach sighed, "All I can say is that they don't think too far ahead of the long term, coupled with the inertia of human beings, if there are no special factors to drive them." ”

"Not to mention that there are so many interests involved."

Li Lun was silent for a while, although he did not know much about sociological issues, but he also knew some theories.

There are two basic reasons that can drive the development of technology.

It's war, it's disaster.

Of course, this is not necessarily the case, but there are statistics that the technological leap forward in the world has been at a low level in normal times.

"Another point is that from the current point of view, the energy generated by the butter cat is endless, but from the perspective of the future, it is still not enough."

Rorschach took out a stack of materials from the cabinet and handed it to Li Lun.

It reads, "About the Butter Cat's Output Time and the Energy Cascade Needed for Development".

Li Lun took it and saw the output value at first glance, and an order of magnitude unit instantly appeared.

1 Energy Coins.

The daily output of a federal energy center is equivalent to 1 energy coin, which is indeed quite sufficient with the current level of technology.

But from the perspective of interstellar civilization, it is only the initial level.

Then I looked down and found another important problem.

The running time of the butter cat is not unlimited, how long it can last depends on the breed of the cat, the more the pedigree survives, the longer the time.

Like the pastoral cat, the longest running record is two years, March and 17 days.

The more hybrids, the shorter the time.

And with the development of the city, the need for more energy centers used to be, and now the embarrassing thing comes.

Cats are one of the animals that are dying of extinction.

Although judging from the number of cats, there is no problem in maintaining it for another two or three hundred years, but what should we do then, will it be difficult to let everyone go back to the kerosene era?

The paradox is that many of the top federal officials also expected this, but they didn't care about what would happen in a few hundred years.

"So, I've been working on new energy alternatives as well."

"It's a good thing my grandfather was the one who invented the butter cat, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten to where I am today."

Rorschach said as if he meant something, and then said: "Thanks to your appearance, you have perfected the data of the fission effect, although the energy output is less than one-tenth of that of Butter Cat, but it is also a very huge improvement." ”

Li Lun shook his head after hearing this, "No." ”

"Not one-tenth, the energy produced by fission is no worse than the output of butter cats after improvement."

"Another point, the energy output of the butter cat should not be so small, your energy transmission network is not good enough, and the attenuation is too great."

Rorschach's pupils dilated, and he was shocked in his heart, could it be that Li Lun had expected such a distance?

Putting the stack of materials back on the table, Li Lun laughed.

"Although energy can be produced out of thin air, there is still a time limit, and this butter cat is not as buggy as I imagined."

Inexplicably, Li Lun thought of the supreme existence of the Great Xia Empire, and he was really able to generate energy out of thin air, which was the real miracle.

"And what do you think now?" Rorschach stared at Li Lun, hoping that he would be able to say the answer he wanted.

Li Lun looked up at the window behind Rorschach, a plane crossed the sky in the sunset, and smiled confidently.

"We are about to create a new era."

As Li Lun said, a new era has arrived.

Since the establishment of the Federation, the most talented and youngest scientist has officially debuted.

In one year, he directly published thousands of papers, alarmed the entire scientific community, and completed his university studies.

He then joined the research program established by Rorschach, where he completed his master's and doctoral degrees at a rapid pace.

Li Lun's first thing was to lead the rapid development of materials science.

Materials science is the foundation of all science and technology, and without the innovation of material technology, there will be no application of science and technology.

The present era can be regarded as the end of the modern era, and the atomic age is only a step in the door.

Four years later.

After Li Lun perfected the various applications of superconductors and magnetic metals, the semiconductor industry began to develop.

So that the whole world officially entered the atomic age.

Fission energy has finally been established after materials science has kept up, although it is temporarily less than the output of butter cat, but it also means the arrival of a new era.

The Most Outstanding Person of the 20 Era Award was presented to Li Lun this year.

But the atomic age alone is naturally not enough to stop Li Lun, and the next information age will not be too far away.

Once again, the scientific community was shocked!

A legend who led an era even designed the future.

They all lamented how huge the gap between people is, and some people even compared Li Lun with Rorschach's grandfather.

Twenty years followed, long but felt very rapid.

It is also lamented by everyone as "golden twenty years".

Li Lun once again led the development of the times, not only optimizing the output value of Butter Cat, but also making the output of fission energy close to that of Butter Cat.

In the era of information technology, cutting-edge technologies such as personal communication, transportation industry, and nanotechnology have all been applied.

A feat of humanity.

And today is the quinquennial federal recognition conference.

Li Lun was once again invited to give a speech on stage.

His status today is not what it used to be, and he is almost worshipped as a god by scientists.

Rorschach has gone through so many years, and his hair is almost gray.

In the break room, Rorschach asked in disbelief, "Are you going to announce the discovery of fusion energy technology?" ”

"According to what you're talking about, this will be able to replace the butter cat completely, wouldn't it be too radical?"

Li Lun was arranging his tie in front of the mirror, and the precipitation of the years made him look more calm.

In the verification and assumption of these years, he has an idea about the dream of the year, but he still needs to further develop science and technology.

"Luo Lao, do you know what is the most interesting thing about science?"

"That's the moment when the only law that was once overturned."

"To exist is to be reasonable, and the butter cat may be a little joke that this universe has played on us, but it does not represent eternal truth."

"It's time to back up."

Under Rorschach's worried gaze.

Li Lun pushed open the door of the lounge and walked to the cheering venue.

After the usual speech, Li Lun announced the research and development and direction of fusion technology, and declared that he would lead the people to space and make the Federation an interstellar civilization!

One stone startles a thousand waves.

Li Lun's words undoubtedly aroused everyone's ambitions, and the crazy cheers continued to resound in the sky until he left.

But alas.

Li Lun still underestimates ambitious people too much.

Just a few days after the fusion project was established, a hurried communication came, and it turned out to be Rorschach.

He hurriedly asked Li Lun to leave the Federation by private jet as soon as possible, otherwise he would most likely be poisoned by the recalcitrant forces.

Li Lun is helpless, the development of science and technology will definitely move some people's cakes, this is no way.

But the situation is urgent, and it is impossible for Li Lun to leave his wife at home alone.

Rush home as fast as you can.

The moment he opened the door, the first thing he saw was the dark muzzle of the gun, and Rorschach's news was still a step too late, and the federal agents had already ambushed him here.

Hateful.

Inside the house was his wife lying in a pool of blood, and the grieving and angry Li Lun was shot several times in the face of resistance.

The great man who led the progress of the world has fallen.......
