fifty-four
[50 years of the era of crisis, neutrino signal]
It's still that human.
"Wang Jiangbo! Wang Jiangbo! There's new information! There's new information! Ye Wei, a dignified, beautiful, charming and picturesque woman, shouted.
"What's wrong? Is the universe collapsing? Wang Jiangbo looked at Ye Wei unhurriedly and said teasingly.
"There's a new neutrino signal!"
"Oh, let's go, let's go see." Wang Jiangbo is still as calm as ever.
Outside and above the space module, there is a sphere held by a pillar, like the joystick of an ancient car, and there is a hole on the sphere, like the tiny eyes of insects. The whole sphere is a neutrino transmitter and receiver device, and that "eye" is used for directional purposes, because neutrinos can only be directed for transmission. The reason why people use it as a type of information is that neutrino signals do not attenuate with distance. Theoretically, if a bundle of neutrinos could travel to the end of the universe, the original information would still be intact.
"Translate it and see what the message is in the neutrino?" Wang Jiangbo said.
A few lines of words are displayed on the screen:
Dear human friends, your enemy "pseudo-civilization" has been eliminated by me, and you can rest assured that you can develop your prosperous and great civilization.
Subsequently, several more pictures appeared, it was a battleship that had been compressed into a flat surface, and due to the complete destruction of the internal structure, the two of them could not see what it was for a long time. The feeling was indescribable, and in short, it was so chaotic that it was impossible to tell that it was a battleship! After a long time, the two of them zoomed out to look at the whole picture of destruction, and only then did they vaguely see that it was something like a ship. As the third dimension becomes two-dimensional, the area increases suddenly. The interior of this ship, such as the internal computers, control equipment, etc., is fully revealed, but it presents infinite details, so it looks chaotic. The person inside the battleship seemed to have been dismembered, his body was in a different place, and the two-dimensional blood in his veins seemed to be still flowing, but it was already a lifeless body.
In the distance of the battleship, there are several objects that have been singled out into two-dimensional, which is the nuclear bomb launched by the battleship before the two-dimensionalization, which collapsed into two-dimensional during flight, and is also the first thing to enter this two-dimensional "giant painting". The cosmic painter seems to have sprinkled a little silver-gray ink on one side of the scroll, and then painted a grand cosmic battleship in the distance, completely drawing the internal structure, and the details of the painting are not bad even for an atom or a molecule. If he is given enough time and enough drop zone, he can "draw" the entire universe, and then the universe will be reduced by one dimension at the macrocosm and increased by one dimension at the microscopic level. However, the Cornerstone Empire anticipated and adjusted the binding force of the force field on the two-way foil, and only set the space of the "pseudo-civilization" warship as the fall zone, so the two-way foil did not expand further.
"The 'man' who destroys the enemy of pseudo-civilization should be the cornerstone empire." Wang Jiangbo said.
"What is the Cornerstone Empire?" Ye Wei blurted out.
"Hmm......" Wang Jiangbo replied, "Let's go to the dining cabin to eat first, and then let you understand what the Cornerstone Empire is." ”
“OK。”
There is no doubt that humanity received a message from the cornerstone starship.
After a long time, the two returned, greeted a few colleagues who had just returned to the lodging cabin to rest, and returned to the neutrino antenna control device.
"That's a good thing! What a happy event! Ye Wei said with a smile.
"Indeed."
"But for what?" Wang Jiangbo asked thoughtfully, but now, I am afraid that the secret cannot be solved. He didn't know that there was an old man named Peng Xiaoming who had made the cornerstone starship attack.
"This news is going to be announced to the world!" Ye Wei said excitedly.
"I really want to!" Wang Jiangbo said with the same feeling, "However, are you sure this is true?" ”
"So let's assume it's not real, and if so, what's the point for the sender of the message? So, from that point of view, it must be true. Ye Wei justified herself. After that, there was only silence in the control room, only the computer was constantly running.
"Okay. I will make this announcement in the news media. Wang Jiangbo said in a deep voice.
……
Soon the news reached Mars, and the media in the Martian city were frantically reporting on it. A few days later, the message was copied to the space cities via ultra-remote quantum transmission. These space cities were rebuilt in the past two years, and thanks to the nuclear strike, the previous space cities were destroyed.
At this time, all the people in the place, including Mars, Space City, Spaceport, and Space Apartment, were cheering and celebrating the moment when the enemy was destroyed.
"The most regrettable thing is that I didn't kill the enemy with my own hands." At one point in time, an officer who was far away in the federal fleet said.
"In the future, let's change the 'era of crisis' to the 'era of the new century.'" At the same point in time, said a senior leader on Mars.
"That's what I want to see." At the same point in time, Wang Jiangbo and Ye Wei on the near-fire orbit observatory said in unison.
"The sun is finally shining into the dark solar system." At the same point in time, Peng Xiaoming, who was still halfway to Proxima Centauri, said. He was still on the road at this time, and had just drunk a glass of water made from the conversion of energy and quality.
…………
【Interstellar Time 20101111, Cornerstone Starship】
With the outer universe as the reference system, it has been 1080 years since Peng Xiaoming set out; With the cornerstone starship as the reference system, it has been 6 months and 22 days since Peng Xiaoming's departure.
Peng Xiaoming woke up and used his consciousness field to order the spacecraft to open the hibernation hatch. He had just woken up and looked at his watch and phone—it had been half a year. He drank a glass of water as calmly as ever, and his drinking movements were also very calm, and when he drank, the water slowly flowed down his esophagus, letting time pass slowly, like a hot spring steaming slightly, flowing slowly, and letting the warm flow of time slowly rush it into the future.
Soon, the projection also awoke, and all that remained in this universe was its pure consciousness field, and its vague and non-existent shadows.
"We're here." Projection said.
"Where is this?"
"You see, the ghost is there." The projection said, leading Peng Xiaoming's gaze to a small silver speck in the night sky outside the porthole.
"Is that it?"
"It doesn't matter if it's not. I'll have to teach you a few lessons before I fight. The projection said to him solemnly.
"What class?"
"First of all, you have to understand these weapons, there are electromagnetic kinetic energy cannons on this starship, and like human beings, they use electromagnetic fields as a source of thrust, and the body of the projectile is a metal projectile. You can control it with your consciousness, or rather, with a spaceship. The projection said, then paused, and continued:
"Look, this is the starship's weapon system, it's actually a list, you control the cursor on this information window with your consciousness so that it points to the weapon you want to enable, you select this weapon and use your mind to make him fire." The projection explains, "As long as you have an idea in your head to make it emit, it will emit, and you can adjust these properties." ”
After Peng Xiaoming read it, he felt that he understood a little.
"Let's learn this two-way foil first, but don't use this weapon indiscriminately, it's suitable for use when the distance is long and the target is not obvious." The projection said, "The way of operation, I transmit it to you through the consciousness graphic, because it's more intuitive. ”
In the sea of consciousness, a blank area arose, which subsequently occupied his entire consciousness, forcing him to clear out his distracting thoughts. Then, something appeared in the white domain, first of all, the pitch-black space, and secondly, a two-way foil appeared, which was spreading, frantically two-dimensional the surrounding space. Peng Xiaoming knew that this was the consciousness figure, and in this way he would learn how everything was manipulated.
"The attack range of the two-way foil is the drop zone, and the size of the drop zone is controlled by a special force field. …… (The content behind is very complicated, and I can't explain it in words)" The projection said a lot, and Peng Xiaoming also understood the use of some weapons such as electromagnetic cannons, two-way foils, restraint rings, particle beam cannons, and antimatter bomb launchers. After a few more hours, he understood the other functions of the starship. Eventually—
"Alright, this is the end of the matter, you will make a contribution to the Cornerstone Empire. If you succeed, you can ask us for everything. You can be an elder of the council of the Cornerstone Empire, or you can ride on the most expensive ship in our civilization. Perhaps, if you wish, you can return to the solar system. ”
"It's been a thousand years. Are there still humans? ”
The projection then began to fall asleep. In its sleep, its consciousness is frantically calculating, it is calculating whether there are still human beings with the causal chain, although the uncertainty of the quantum leads to the uncertainty of the causal chain, but the quantum theory is not considered by projection, as long as the approximate result is calculated.
Soon the projection woke up, and the shadow sparkled and said, "Yes! ”
But he added: "But the state of motion of microscopic particles is uncertain and random, and I just calculated according to its trend, as long as its actual state is roughly within the trend, the result is likely to be correct." ”
"There are so many microscopic particles that can make up a macroscopic that they are almost immeasurable. There are more atoms in a glass of water than there are in a cup of water in the ocean. So how do you build a mathematical model of the huge amount of particles? Or replicate the mathematical model of the entire solar system at the atomic level. Just talking about Mars, no, it's just a model of an egg. Peng Xiaoming said in disbelief.
"But in the very early days of the universe, there were very few particles. The very early days mentioned here may be a few minutes before the Big Bang. I even have the hope of building a mathematical model of the Big Bang singularity to calculate the results of the causal chain. But I haven't tried, and there is a high probability that it will fail. Because in our theory, the singularity does not have any internal structure. The projection said thoughtfully.
"But isn't determinism overturned?"
"But quantum uncertainty is not considered by me. All calculations are based on a 'possible' basis. The universe is never 100%. ”
"It's true that the universe is never 100%." Peng Xiaoming added.
"It's a profound statement."
"The result is 1%, and humanity may still exist. For the universe, this probability is already very high. The projection said with a sigh.
"Good!"
"Peng, in our world, there is a superstring computer, which is used to calculate the causal chain, that is, to calculate the possible future. This kind of thing that exists in human science fiction has been created in our world. ”
"I remember it, it's an ancient period, and it's said in the novel "Mirror" by the Chinese science fiction master Liu Cixin."
"Can you tell me about it?"
"Good!" Peng Xiaoming continued, "There is a person named Bai Bing......"
