Qin Qiong noticed Wang Ping'an's expression and asked, "Why, did you see the quantum rose?"
"Hey, have you learned how to read minds after staying on the ground for a few years?" Wang Ping'an joked.
"Strictly speaking, this is related to my current job. My first position was to deliver notices. When the recipient saw me, he fainted and burst into tears. This is not the most uncomfortable thing.
"
Wang Ping'an: "Isn't it the most uncomfortable?"
"Well, the most uncomfortable thing is for those who have a particularly high consciousness, especially those who have experienced the last war. They seem to be used to it. They will take me to sit down and drink some wine, and then start to recall bits and pieces."
Wang Pingan raised his eyebrows: "I always feel like I can imagine that scene. It should be like how my dad recalls his comrades every year during the Qingming Festival, right?"
Qin Qiong stared at Wang Ping'an for a few seconds and said, "I have never seen how your father recalled his comrades, but I have seen how you recalled Xiao Fang. That's how it was."
Wang Ping'an frowned: "How do I recall Xiao Fang? Have I ever recalled it in front of you?"
"You fucking forgot, right? In the Qingming Festival that year when Xiao Fang first left, I saw a spaceship parked in front of the L2 monument, and then I extended an invitation to dock. You even drank a glass of my good wine."
Wang Ping'an: "Oh, that seems to be the case. But didn't I behave normally that time?"
"Yeah, it's normal." Qin Qiong glanced at Angeli, "Speaking of which, after arriving in this department, I discovered something. It seems that Zhang Li's style is very popular among veterans who have lost their comrades.
"
Wang Ping'an frowned: "When I was in L2, I stopped a guy who was seduced by Zhang Li and tried to commit violence against a psychiatrist. Are there many of them on the ground?"
"There are a lot of them, especially those who have been psychologically diagnosed as unfit to perform space duties. Those who have been removed are usually assigned to the Qingshui Yamen where they read newspapers. Many people become obsessed instead."
Wang Ping'an: "The Qingshui Yamen who reads newspapers?"
"Look! I knew you didn't care about going crazy!"
"Okay, okay, how could they go crazy? No psychological follow-up?"
Qin Qiong pointed at herself: "I am the person responsible for psychological follow-up. This is what my department is responsible for. Many people participate in mutual aid groups every week and are diagnosed almost every two weeks, but a considerable number of people still
Will choose to believe in the existence of quantum ghosts.
"I personally suspect that Zhang Li actually understands quantum physics very well, so he has accurately chosen areas where rumors cannot be refuted at present. His pseudo-scientific theories that seem to be nonsense are actually carefully arranged. Those pseudo-sciences are different from the current ones.
There is no contradiction in science."
Wang Ping'an nodded: "Pseudoscience generally violates basic common sense, the most common of which is the violation of the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The theory of tension does not.
"But Zhang Zhang's theories are immediately known to be pseudoscience. Which real scientific theory does not involve mathematics?"
Qin Qiong: "If there is mathematics in Zhang Zhang's theory, we can tell it is fake at a glance, right? It is precisely because there is not a single equation in his theory that he has such a market among Space Force veterans."
Wang Ping'an was about to answer when his cell phone said: "Li Zhang himself does not have an educational background related to quantum physics. He should not understand the theory of quantum physics. In fact, as long as you have met him in person, you will know that his theories are pseudoscience."
Wang Ping'an: "This is not the first time you have said this, so what is going on? What can I see in Zhang Li's place?"
"Hey, this kind of thing should be left in suspense, and you can leave a deeper impression only if you see him directly."
Qin Qiong stared at Wang Ping'an's cell phone: "What's wrong with your cell phone?"
"Modules, they are all modules." Wang Ping'an said perfunctorily.
Qin Qiong raised her eyebrows: "Okay. But your phone just said that you still want to see Zhang Li?"
Wang Ping'an: "Yes. It is said that after meeting him, I will no longer be bewitched by his theory. I am not bewitched now, but sometimes I think, it would be great if there really were quantum ghosts. This has nothing to do with me.
It's one thing to sometimes expect that the Force or magic actually exists."
Qin Qiong also laughed: "We have nothing to do with the Force. When we were at the flight academy, we even performed a Star Wars stage play together, which made the instructor speechless."
Wang Ping'an: "Yes, yes, you were playing Skywalker at that time, and I was playing Han Solo. I said no, I have to use the Force. In the end, the script was changed, and Han Solo became the first person in the universe to use the Force to shoot guns.
Cowboy."
"That cowboy of yours also incorporates elements of Cowboy Bebop. It's just a hodgepodge of cosmic science fiction works from the pre-aerospace era. I remember that Han Solo's Millennium Falcon also had a personal computer, and the image was taken from the animated Cosmic Detective.
."
Wang Ping'an: "That's right. The spaceship's computer has been modified to look like Kenar. Why don't you let me, Han Solo, use a lightsaber? Kane, the captain of Kenar, also uses a lightsaber!"
"It would be nice to let you use the Force to shoot."
Angele: "Did you still engage in such activities during your flight academy days?"
"In Red May, everyone has to put on a show. Our team put on this one, and the instructor was speechless. But unexpectedly, the college liked it quite a lot, saying that the space opera of the pre-aerospace era embodies the spirit of human exploration.
"Actually, there is no spirit of exploration. Everyone wants to play the characters in the stories they read when they were children."
When Wang Pingan said this, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
Angele: "Xiao Fang also participated?"
"I participated, I participated, she plays R2D2."
Angele: "What to play?"
"R2D2, that cylindrical robot." Wang Ping'an said and gestured with his hand, "Her height is just right, you know? She also had a lot of fun acting. During that time, she deliberately used Didi when she spoke.
Sound instead."
Qin Qiong: "At that time, there was no one suitable for playing the role of Kainaer in our team. None of the girls in our team had the figure of Kainaer. The first-generation adjuster obviously had a good figure, but no girl in our team was chosen.
."
Wang Ping'an: "Maybe the father wanted to choose, but he was afraid of his wife. In short, we had no choice in the end that time. Kenal became the Tequila girl. Who played the role?"
"Liu Gang, there are two coconuts growing on the coconut tree on the roadside of the college." Qin Qiong suddenly paused, her expression darkened, "Liu Gang died, didn't you know?"
"When did it happen?" Wang Ping'an asked.
"Just last year, he died on Mercury. The radiation protection layer of the space station was aging. Just when the solar storm was coming, there was only a small leak, maybe about three millimeters. As a result, he just happened to catch up. If he had changed his posture at that time
If you lean even a little bit, you won't die."
Wang Ping'an silently picked up the wine bottle and filled their glasses.
Angele opened a new cup: "I'll have a cup too. After all, I'm also a second lieutenant in the Space Force."
Wang Ping'an filled her up silently.
The three of them drank in silence, and then Wang Pingan asked: "Are there laboratories on Mercury?"
"Yes, because that place is too close to the sun and the cost of resource extraction on the planet is too high, private companies will not go there, so it is used by the Space Force as an experimental base. As long as no civilians will go there, it is easy to keep it secret.
"In addition, it is easy to obtain energy there. As long as you open the solar panels, you will naturally have terawatts of energy. The ultra-high energy coils and antimatter production equipment of the Institute of Physics are all there."
Wang Ping'an was speechless: "Antimatter... When can we use antimatter as an energy source...
"It's already at the terawatt level, and antimatter is used as energy. What word should be put in front of the unit of power? Maybe by then we will all be able to jump faster than the speed of light."
Qin Qiong smiled and said: "Perhaps we will use new units by then. After all, Watt is just a craftsman. In fact, I think that when our reactor stops boiling water, it is time to change the power unit."
Wang Ping'an: "I agree. No longer boiling water is a great progress for mankind. Although humans are still throwing stones, they no longer boil water after all."
Erin: "Stone throwing?"
Angeli explained: "They were talking about an old joke often said by materialists. Human beings are basically boiling water and throwing stones. In the past, nuclear reactors used steam to drive turbines to generate electricity. In essence, they were still boiling water.
."
Erin: "Isn't it now?"
Angele: "No more."
Wang Ping'an suddenly laughed: "I can't imagine how big a turbine that can reach terawatts of power is."
Qin Qiong also laughed: "I'm afraid the friction and heat generated by the turbine will be very scary."
Erin looked at everyone in confusion: "What are you laughing at?"
Angele shrugged.
Qin Qiong: "Since you are going to see Zhang Li, then you are not going to eat at my place?"
"I don't know, I..." Wang Ping'an looked at the phone.
The itinerary was all arranged on his mobile phone, and he didn't know what time Zhang Li would be free - but as a civil servant, he should be available at all times.
Qin Qiong: "Why do you have to check your phone for this matter?"
"Uh, I have a schedule on my phone."
"Do you still have a schedule?" Qin Qiong frowned, "This doesn't seem like something you would do."
"What do you think of me? I am content with whatever the circumstances lead to, without any purpose?"
Qin Qiong: "Isn't it?"
"Okay, that makes sense. But this time I looked at my phone because I had a schedule. Xiaoyun, can I eat at Qin Qiong's place?"
Mobile phone: "Okay. But I don't think Major Qin Qiong has the ability to cook."
Qin Qiong shrugged: "You're right, so you can only eat the pre-prepared dishes I make with fast cooking equipment when you stay here. My wife bought all the kitchen utensils at home. She likes to learn new dishes from short videos.
."
Angele: "I think I can cook some simple dishes."
Wang Ping'an: "He doesn't have kitchen utensils for making Western food here."
Angeli replied seriously: "I can cook Chinese food."
"How did you learn it?" Wang Ping'an asked in surprise, "Could it be that your father asked you to learn it again? My father-in-law is quite awesome. He has calculated to this extent."
Angele smiled and said, "Not this time. But at our flight academy there is an elective course for Chinese food."
Wang Ping'an: "Chinese food elective course? Are you a flight academy? Are you sure it's not New Oriental?"
Angeli waved her hand, stood up and went to the kitchen.
Irene, who was left here, suddenly became embarrassed: "Well, I'll go help Ms. Lyon."
After saying that, she also stood up and left.
Wang Ping'an looked at his phone and joked: "Do you want to do something too?"
Mobile phone: "I am a mobile phone. I can't help you with cooking."
Wang Ping'an: "You can help me look up the recipe."
The phone was silent for a few seconds, then unfolded the support stand and headed to the kitchen using the stand as a leg.
Qin Qiong: "When did you get such a fashionable mobile phone?"
"Don't worry about it, come and drink." Wang Ping'an filled the glass again.
Qin Qiong was speechless: "I have always envied you, and now I am even more enviable. If you and Angele are selected to fly to the Centaur spaceship, then I will be envious to death."
Wang Ping'an laughed proudly: "Then go ahead and envy you. But then again, going to Centaur together is indeed very romantic, but it's also quite romantic to have one stay in the solar system and the other go."
Qin Qiong: "Like "Voice of the Stars"?"
"Yes, the first generation of lovers separated by the Milky Way. At one-tenth the speed of light, I will definitely age slower than normal. When I estimate that the time is about the same, I will send a message back to Ange.
Li said, Hi, 90-year-old Angeli, I am 40-year-old Wang Pingan.
"Isn't this quite romantic?"
When Wang Ping'an said this, he heard someone singing the theme song "Through the Years & Far Away" from "The Voice of the Star": "Hello tiny star"
Can you hear me call?
…
Through the years and far away
(After several years)
Far beyond the milky way
(On the far side of the galaxy)
You're the shine that never blinks
(You are the brilliance that never shines)
The shine that never dies
(That light will never be extinguished)"
He looked around and saw Xiao Fang with his back to this side, humming and looking up at the paintings on the wall.
Only then did Wang Ping'an discover that the painting on the wall was "The Milky Way" by a famous "Neo-Impressionist" artist.
"This is actually "Galaxy" on your wall..."
"Fake, replicas that can be seen everywhere. I got it from the service agency because I liked this painting very much when I was in high school. At that time, it was just created, and experts debated all day long whether the painting had any artistic value.
"But I was shocked as soon as I saw this painting. One issue of Science Illustrated included a miniature version. I have always treasured it. When I am tired of reviewing, I take it out and take a look."
Wang Ping'an: "I remember a comment saying that the author of this painting was the first generation of post-war artists to escape the influence of the war. He was only seven or eight years older than us."
"Yes, the paintings before him were either depicting the Great War or the post-war recovery era. But this painting depicts the 'future'."
Wang Ping'an: "The future is indeed the universe, the last frontier of mankind."
"It's up to you to open up this frontier." Qin Qiong said as he picked up the wine bottle and filled it for Wang Ping'an.
