Chapter 609: What is the first sign of civilization?
But Su Wen did not stop because of this.
On the contrary,
He walked up and patted the man on the shoulder:
"There's no time to remember."
Although he was nearly blind, perhaps because he had already been assimilated into the ruins, he miraculously captured Su Wen's traces.
"Who are you?"
"Rhine, an unknown scholar."
He said calmly:
"The purpose of my coming here is to meet you.
As for you,
Tang Liangping, can you still remember why you came here?"
Su Wen didn't have time to be polite or chat with him. What he lacked most now was time, so he decisively chose to get straight to the point.
After all, scientists don’t have that much politeness among themselves.
Hearing his presumptuous question, Tang Liangping really didn't react at all, or maybe it was because this incomplete relic had dulled his senses too much.
Assuming that he is a normal person, it is impossible not to feel strange when there are so many Abyssal Apostles coming and going around him.
But when he heard Su Wen ask why he came here, he suddenly froze, as if the computer system suddenly crashed.
Caroline followed Su Wen. She also saw this scene with curiosity, so she raised a white finger and waved it in front of Tang Liangping's eyes.
But still no response.
Caroline sighed slightly:
"It's okay now.
Mr. Rhine, it's all your fault. This guy has become stupid.
Even if it’s a cliché, it should be done step by step.”
Hearing her say this, Su Wen showed a gentle smile:
"Caroline, do you think that most people will face the [Application Not Responding] window that pops up on their computer?
Should I choose to wait or close?”
"If this is definitely not a problem for me, if it takes more than five seconds to resolve this pop-up window, it will be considered a failure on my part."
Miss Hacker waved her fingers cutely,
"After all, I want to know whether the program is really not responding to user operations.
As long as you observe that the CPU usage does not decrease and the output file is growing or updating, you can judge that the program is not deadlocked or in an infinite loop.
But for most people, waiting for the program to self-check is indeed a stupid thing.
Because many people really just wait.”
For topics involving computer operations.
She seems to have a lot to complain about.
But Su Wen only needed to get the last sentence she just said. He lightly snapped his fingers:
"That's right,
Waiting costs time, and we cannot restart this relic.
so,
This is when a third solution is needed.”
[Storage box operation]
[Mythical Relic: Afterglow Branlit’s Lantern]
A faint golden light bloomed quietly, which was the first sign of the lantern's dim light.
It hung quietly in Su Wen's hand. Under the dim light, the outline of the lantern looked simple and elegant, like a forgotten star, quietly breaking free from the shackles of the night.
at the same time,
Behind him, a huge and indifferent figure wearing a black hood also raised a glimmer of light that seemed to be reflected in the stars.
[I mourn the dead, just like Helena swears an oath for the living]
[Only silence brings forth words; only darkness becomes light; only death brings new life; fireflies fall into the void, shining brightly.]
【I remember everything in this world】
【It burns to ashes in fate, but takes root in memory.】
[I listen to their voices]
【Carrying their loneliness】
[Then, watch the will they left behind blossom over a long period of time]
[I am the extraditer of the forgotten people——‘The afterglow of the light’——Branlett]
At first, the light was just a faint ray, vaguely visible, like a candle shrouded in gauze, hazy and mysterious.
However, as time goes by, that ray of light gradually becomes brighter, like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, gentle and unobtrusive.
Time may have passed less than a minute,
But even the air of the ruins polluted by the abyss seemed to be infected by this glimmer of light, becoming warm and soft.
"Tang Liangping, no matter how long the dream is, it's time to wake up."
Su Wen said slowly.
And until this moment, the man who had been in a sluggish state seemed to wake up suddenly:
"Where am I?"
"Binhai Electrical Engineering Institute Factory."
Su Wen looked out the window, looking at the slightly distorted scene of the abandoned ruins of the Electrical Engineering Institute in the distance:
"Let me add one more thing,
This is the Electrical Engineering Institute of Binhai City Old Town."
Subsequently,
He clicked on the data he had just prepared.
As Caroline had just hacked into the Tide Sect and set up multiple broilers to reserve huge computing power, the picture on the big screen instantly became more complex and detailed.
Data is flowing like a torrent,
Each one represents countless calculations and analysis, trying to reveal the triggering rules for the next disaster:
In the center of the screen,
The gravitational field models of the Earth and Sun began to undergo subtle changes.
The originally smooth lines began to fluctuate and twist, as if indicating that some invisible force was quietly brewing. These changes were quickly captured and amplified by computing power, forming one possible disaster trigger point after another.
And accompanied by the series connection of gravity lines.
Electromagnetic storms began to gather, and the disasters that Binhai City's old city once faced also quietly emerged in the predictions:
The handsome scholar said slowly:
"Although the Carrington event far exceeded the two strong solar storms in 1989 and 2003 in terms of intensity, the damage caused was not as severe as the latter two.
This is because at that time there were no satellites, radio communications and modern power transmission networks.
But if the Carrington Event happened today, it would have caused an even more serious disaster.
It has the potential to destroy many artificial satellites, interrupt communications relying on these satellites, and even cause the collapse of entire cities.
And you,
It was actually based on Carrington's corollary, and this disaster that only existed in theory was actually realized."
I heard that Su Wen suppressed his emotions and finished the narration.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The man standing in front of him had already burst into tears.
He hugged his head and squatted on the ground in pain, while only repeating two words:
"Feel sorry."
Su Wen didn't have many feelings about this belated apology.
But even though he felt the same way, he still remained rational and stopped this meaningless behavior:
"What I need right now is not sorry.
Researcher Tang Liangping,
I came to you this time because the next super electromagnetic crisis in Binhai City will completely break out in three hours at most.
I need to thoroughly understand how to adjust the ‘traction effect’ carried by the electronics industry.
And complete the reset within an hour, finally directing that huge energy to the deep sea."
Hear him say that.
Tang Liangping said to himself in a daze:
"But hasn't the urban area that once belonged to Binhai City been destroyed?"
"That's Binhai City that only stays in your memory.
Civilization will be reborn amidst destruction.
Although the discovery of the Einstein Rosen Bridge Border Gate has freed mankind from the fate of being trapped and dead in the mother star and the solar system.
But I still remember a passage written in "The Wandering Earth":
Anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked, “What were the first signs of civilization?
And Ms. Mead's answer was 'a healed femur.'
Later she explained:
‘In the ancient times when hair and blood were consumed, a person with a broken femur would definitely die unless he got help from others.
Because the injured cannot hunt, they cannot escape the harm of wild animals.
Therefore, a piece of femur that has healed after an injury shows that the injured person was cared for and slowly recovered, which is the starting point of civilization.’
It represents not only the healing of mankind, but also the healing of civilization as it struggles and explores.
Mistakes never erase everything.
As long as there is hope, the fire of civilization will continue towards the future.
Tang Liangping,
Do you have any regrets?"
The middle-aged man said silently after thinking for a long time:
"My mother, she lives in the Third Nursing Home in Xincheng."
He extended his hand.
Su Wen held his hand, which represented the beginning of real cooperation between the two scientists:
"When it's all over,
If the disaster is really suppressed with the cooperation of you and me, it may even just stay in the bud.
I will personally send her a bouquet of carnations."
