The meteorite explosion in Arctic Village and the mysterious time-travel incident of Uncle Zhang can only be recorded and preserved as confidential documents in the CSDA archives. The "1229" working group has not given any conclusion. It is just like other mysterious events that have happened in the world.
Similarly, it cannot be explained by science known to mankind. Although the event itself is becoming more and more bizarre in people's word-of-mouth, with the rapid implementation of government emergency measures and the passage of time, people's attention to it has gradually weakened.
.In addition to reporting that a meteorite fell and caused no major damage to people or property, the media did not disclose any further details - the strict confidentiality measures imposed by the relevant parties also limited reporters' in-depth understanding of this incident.
After Yuan Gang and Gao Tianjun returned to their respective units, they made detailed reports to their superiors. Out of caution, CSDA and X Base did not explain to the media, but secretly organized dedicated personnel to continue to pay attention and investigate the incident.
People who are doing this work also know that it is difficult to achieve results.
After Gao Tianjun and Aisen returned to "601", they both claimed in public that this was just an ordinary meteorite fall. Gao Tianjun only disclosed the details to Ding Yushi.
"Is it the 'marginal space' that is coming to the rescue again?" Ding Yushi said, "It not only reminds us all the time, but also intervenes in crisis events. It exists like God and is as elusive as God...
”
"Have you started to believe in God?" Gao Tianjun's words were a bit teasing.
"Frankly speaking, it is difficult for a person to change his belief." Ding Yushi said with frustration. "I have never believed that God really exists, but now what we have heard, seen, and even experienced personally
These strange things have completely exceeded our inherent understanding of the natural world. No matter how we explore and verify, the result seems to be always following a mysterious force... I originally thought that we have
Eisen, through him, we will definitely be able to come into contact with this mysterious existence, or at least know what kind of existence it is. However, now we have to admit that we are really too small! So small that we are like ants under the feet of giants! We
What we think we know about everything in the world is actually just a drop in the ocean; we think we can bring civilization to mankind, but in fact, at best, we have only changed the ancient way of eating blood, slashing and burning... I'm sorry! Director Gao, what I say does not mean that I have lost
Without my will, I just feel incompetent and helpless, and this is even the incompetence and helplessness of the human group!"
Facing Ding Yushi's statement, Gao Tianjun didn't speak for a long time. He silently took out a box of cigarettes from the drawer of his desk, took one out and put it in his mouth, touched his pocket, and looked for something everywhere.
Ding Yushi guessed that he might be looking for a lighter.
"Director Gao, you seem to have never smoked!"
"I don't know who left it here... Some people say that when you encounter troubles, taking a few puffs can help generate inspiration." Gao Tianjun didn't find the lighter, so he took the cigarette out of his mouth and put it to his nose to smell.<
/p>
Seeing Gao Tianjun's appearance, Ding Yushi couldn't help laughing and laughed. She took out her mobile phone and called a colleague and said: "Go to the supermarket at the door immediately to buy a lighter and bring it to Director Gao's office...
Why buy a lighter? You need it for work!"
A few minutes later, the man brought the lighter.
"Why did you tell him it was necessary for work?" After the man left, Gao Tianjun blamed Ding Yushi.
"Since the leader is looking for inspiration, why don't we act quickly? As for the reason, there is no need to tell him for the time being!"
“This kind of trivial matter requires people to run errands, and you say it’s necessary for work?!”
"Who said you are the superior and we are subordinates? I am only responsible for getting things done. As for why I have to do it, that is the 'secret' of the superior." Ding Yushi said playfully.
Gao Tianjun lit up the cigarette, took a puff, and said leisurely: "Although what you said is a bit sophisticated, it is not unreasonable. Many things, what is known from above may not be known to us; what we know does not necessarily need to be known by the below.
This is how society is. To put it grandly, this is due to the requirement of confidentiality, but in fact, it reflects the privilege of the class."
Ding Yu's poem is thoughtful.
"My head is a bit dizzy!" Gao Tianjun only took two puffs before throwing most of the cigarette into the trash can. "It seems that the idea that smoking helps to gain inspiration is not reliable."
"Director Gao, do you think we also have this kind of 'class' relationship with the Eternal People?"
"What do you want to say?"
"If immortal people have a higher evolutionary level than us ordinary people, will there be something they don't want us to know?"
"This is true among people, and immortal people are no exception...Why do you think so?"
"If it is confirmed that Aisen is also an immortal person, and we can only receive information from higher-level immortal people through him... Moreover, even higher-level immortal people may not be able to master all the secrets of nature. In their case,
There may be advanced intelligent civilizations above. In such an information transmission chain, if anything is opaque to us, we will not be able to understand the truth of the information."
"So?"
"The ant cannot see the giant, so it is impossible to know what the giant is and what it is going to do. Our efforts in deciphering supernatural phenomena may always be in vain!"
Gao Tianjun looked at the pessimistic Ding Yushi, thought for a moment, and asked: "Have you heard of the story of King Shehan and Prime Minister Dayil?"
Ding Yushi shook her head.
"This is a very classic story. Let me tell it to you." Gao Tianjun asked Ding Yushi to sit down, and he sat opposite her.
"It is said that during the time of King Sherhan in ancient India, there was a prime minister named Dayil. Because he invented chess, King Sherhan felt that he should be rewarded, so he asked him what he wanted. Dayil said that he wanted to ask King Sherhan for a reward.
Wheat, "How much wheat do you want me to give you?" King Sherhan asked. Dayir took out a chess board composed of 64 small squares and said to King Sherhan: "Your Majesty, I only ask you to
Give me 1 grain of wheat in the first square of the chessboard, 2 grains of wheat in the second square, 4 grains of wheat in the third square, and so on, the number of wheat grains placed in each square is the same as the previous one.
Doubling one square until all 64 squares have been placed is the total amount of wheat that I want to ask your majesty to reward.'"
"Oh! I remembered." Ding Yushi said. "I have heard this story. In the end, the prime minister asked the king for more wheat than all the wheat produced by mankind in 2000 years combined. The king simply could not give it.
Come out, right?!"
"Yes." Gao Tianjun said with a smile, "The significance of this story is that it does not ask us to calculate the total amount of wheat that Dayel wants from King Shehan, but it illustrates to us the exponential growth of something.
.On this chessboard, although the wheat grains increase by the number of 1, 2, 4, 8, etc., it increases exponentially. Compared with linear growth, the characteristic of exponential growth is that it will initially be a
It is a long and gentle process. However, once it reaches a certain node, the growth curve will rise sharply. This node is a technological explosion! Just like the wheat on the Dayle chessboard, it is less than 100 tons at the 30th square.
By the 40th grid, it has exceeded 100,000 tons; by the 64th grid, it has exceeded one trillion tons! Let's take a look at the development of human society. In the 200 years from 1800 to 1999, human society
The total productivity created is only equivalent to the achievements made in the 20 years from 2000 to 2020. This is the power of exponential growth! Everything we do now is a small step in the process of human civilization.
point, when the curve formed by the convergence of countless small points reaches that 'node', a technological explosion will come, and human technology and civilization will also achieve a leap! This should be our belief. Faith is what supports us moving forward.
Strength is also the most fundamental difference between us humans and lower creatures. I hope you can realize this."
Ding Yushi stared at Gao Tianjun silently, and the confusion and frustration in her heart gradually dissipated. She blushed and said, "Thank you for teaching me a lesson! I will not let you down!"
"I strongly agree with the statement," Gao Tianjun continued, "50% of a person's ability is determined by his genetic characteristics, which is innate and unchangeable; the other 40% is determined by his living environment and
Everyone is different in what they have experienced; the other 10% is the judgment system and thinking system they have formed through learning, which can be cultivated. So, we have enough room to constantly surpass ourselves. You said yes
?"
"Yes! The teacher is right!" Ding Yushi had a naughty smile on her face.
Gao Tianjun fell into another thought: "I thought of a question: Since we can see Eisen's dream with the help of Easton's instrument, why can't we digitally record the image of the dream display? Have you ever thought about the reason for this?
? If the communication barrier is caused by the civilizational generation gap between us and the 'marginal space', then how can we read Aisen's dream images on the instrument? Besides, since Aisen is their messenger, and
The information they conveyed to us through Aisen is so important that they would not intercept or conceal the information conveyed."
"You mean...this is a problem with our decoding technology?"
"Do you remember that during our tests on Eisen, there were times when the brain waves peaked for only a few seconds, but the dreams he experienced were very long?"
"Yeah!"
"Easton's dream display should default to the natural time setting. Is this related to it?"
"..."
"If Easton could adjust the response time of his instrument, for example, amplify or compress its time, so that it matches the time of Eisen's receiving signal frequency, would it be possible to record it?" p>
"Your idea makes sense. However, I don't know if Dr. Easton can adjust the time setting of his instrument..."
"Why don't we give it a try?" Gao Tianjun subconsciously took out another cigarette, held it in his mouth and lit it. "Some things, only by breaking through the inherent thinking can you see miraculous results."
"It seems that you are really inspired!" Ding Yushi said half-jokingly.
Following Gao Tianjun's suggestion, Easton tried to make technical adjustments to the time settings of the brainwave receiving device and the dream monitor, canceling the connection between system time and natural time. Although Easton did this, he kept talking about it.
Gao Tianjun complained endlessly, thinking that such an approach was illogical. If there was a bug in the system and it could not be restored, he would file a huge compensation claim from Gao Tianjun.
"What if the test is successful? Do I still need to charge you a patent fee?" Gao Tianjun asked unsmilingly.
Gao Tianjun quickly arranged a new experiment. What was different from the past was that Jacob and Katz were added to the laboratory. According to Gao Tianjun's suggestion, Easton was responsible for hypnotizing Eisen and collecting his brain waves.
Information, and at the same time, Jacob controlled Eisen through mind communication in an effort to allow him to meet Ai Bin. Easton was a little unhappy about this. He was dissatisfied with Gao Tianjun for allowing an outsider to frequently participate in hypnosis experiments on Eisen - especially
There were quite a few criticisms about using the equipment he developed, but seeing Gao Tianjun's insistence, in the end he had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and carry out the process helplessly.
Under Easton's hypnosis, Eisen gradually fell into a state of sleep. Easton stared at the dream monitor, anxiously waiting for the arrival of the unknown.
Eisen has been in sleep state for 20 minutes. All other instruments are showing normal results. However, the dream monitor has been messy, like tens of thousands of filaments running back and forth on the screen. It seems that there is something, but he can't see it.
Not coming out.
"Is the signal not coming in?" Ding Yushi asked.
"Probably not..." Easton replied hesitantly.
Ding Yushi looked at Gao Tianjun, as if asking him whether this method was correct. Gao Tianjun said nothing. She looked at Jacob again, who sat with his eyes closed like a wax figure, saying nothing.
On the brainwave display, the originally stable curve began to jump significantly, and the peak value even exceeded the extreme threshold. At the same time, Aisen's breathing suddenly became rapid, his limbs began to twitch, and his body sometimes straightened up.
,sometimes curled up...
"Coming!" Someone started to get nervous.
However, although the brainwave display has shown unusually violent fluctuations, and Aisen's physical symptoms have obviously responded, there is still no change on the dream display, and nothing can be seen.
"Eisen seems to have met his brother...but I'm not sure yet." Everyone in the room heard Jacob's voices in both Chinese and English at the same time.
Easton was startled. He glanced at Jacob, then turned to Gao Tianjun, with a look of disappointment.
"Director Gao," Ding Yushi said anxiously, "Maybe there is something wrong with your method! We should be able to see Ai Bin by now!"
"Don't panic! The experiment is still going on. We'll see after it's over!" Gao Tianjun said in a low voice and seriously.
After more than ten seconds, Eisen's brain waves returned to normal, and he gradually calmed down.
"I never saw anything on the dream monitor," Easton sighed and said to Gao Tianjun, "Obviously, your method doesn't work!"
"Just because we can't see it doesn't mean the instrument didn't record it," Gao Tianjun said stubbornly. "Why don't we try to transcode the recorded data, and then change the computer to see if it can display the image?"
Easton stared at Gao Tianjun for a long time, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes...
