Chapter 530 The sun will rise as usual tomorrow [6000 words]
As he expected, exactly 811 people chose to stay.
Yi Lun, Ou Guohua and Song Siyu are already close to Chen Feng. They are familiar with Chen Feng's personality and have a good understanding of his abilities, even to the point of being superstitious.
Even if he says that the sun is square, these people will look up at the sky first to make sure. So all Chen Feng needs to convince them is a "Black Hole Essay".
But these unfamiliar scholars are different. They know some of Chen Feng's achievements, but they don't know it accurately enough.
Their understanding of Chen Feng is superficial and comes only from news media reports and other people's descriptions.
Their first reaction when facing "The Black Hole Paper" was to question it, and then their doubts were overcome bit by bit during Chen Feng's explanation.
But even if the answer is obvious, it is still a little difficult for them to accept the fact that the Witten Black Hole and Voyager 2 will bring powerful enemies and lead to the destruction of mankind.
Doomsday, isn’t that what happens in movies?
Nowadays, the global energy crisis is getting more serious, the intensity of competition for resources among major powers continues to increase, geopolitical conflicts have become increasingly prominent, conflicts between different ideologies have intensified, and the shadow of war is gathering dark clouds.
The biggest threats to mankind at present are its own greed and the limitations of the earth's environment. Things in space are too far away.
Just solving the current practical problems is enough to make politicians and scholars so busy that they have no time to think about ethereal aliens.
Even if some people believe in the existence of extraterrestrial threats, and even hold meetings to discuss it from time to time, most people still have not thought about it, but the discussion is just a discussion, and it rises directly to the level of drawing conclusions and making it the main theme of the development of civilization.
At this time, everyone still has doubts in their hearts.
But more than 800 people have been shaken. They gradually believe Chen Feng's words. They also want to know how Chen Feng will answer their doubts. They also hope that Chen Feng will suddenly change his words and tell everyone that this is just a harmless joke on his part.
Chen Feng's documentary can help these people find their own answers in their hearts.
Early the next morning, "The Ninth Two Thousand Years" began to play.
The powerful special effects are enough to look fake and real, and the private screening room is full of exclamations.
When Chen Feng told everyone that this was something he completed alone in less than twenty days, people were even more surprised.
Compared with "Madman's Conjectures" and various black technologies that have not yet been transformed and have not entered thousands of households, the substantive technological innovations brought by Chen Feng that many scholars first came into contact with were in the field of film entertainment.
He introduced: "I used the first-generation self-taming rendering engine on "Ninth". This is a... well, a special effects engine with autonomous learning capabilities. You can think of it as a real artificial intelligence
.”
Although it was only produced in less than half a month, "The Ninth Millennium" produced entirely with CG, as a "movie-level documentary", still surpasses the times in terms of picture quality.
In a sense, this is the first real work of Xingfeng Light and Shadow Studio, but only Chen Feng participated in the whole process. The newbies in the studio who are still in the learning stage are still trying to figure out this first-generation product with active learning ability.
When it comes to using the self-taming rendering engine, you can practice it on James Diaz’s new film. It’s impossible to complete an entire “big production” by one person like Chen Feng.
In order to speed up the rendering, he also spent 80 million to temporarily jump in and rent part of the computing power of the Galaxy supercomputer, currently the leading one in the country, for 20 days. He also spent another 80 million to borrow a cloud server from a large Internet company for half a month.
In addition to his personal time investment and technical investment, the total cost of his CG film production is 160 million.
After rushing for more than half a month, I finally got it out in time.
In the movie, Chen Feng slightly polished the names of people, places and institutions in the historical materials.
He changed the names of real people and changed his name after a thousand years to Zheng Feng.
This is to avoid revealing too many secrets.
As for how the eight hundred people here will guess who is who, Chen Feng doesn't care, just let them guess on their own.
This paradoxical state is most likely to stimulate other people's thinking.
Three days later, the more than 800 people who watched the documentary for three consecutive days were speechless for a long time.
While watching the documentary, they settled their thoughts in their hearts and re-digested the "Black Hole Paper". They believed Chen Feng's judgment.
In this process, the lobbying of Mendelsohn, Laurson and Illen also played a big role.
Area 52 is no longer a secret.
The statement that "Chen Feng's information came from the alien spacecraft in Area 52" spread like wildfire, and it is true.
Among the more than 800 people who stayed, about a quarter were political personnel, a quarter were business personnel, and nearly half were scientific researchers.
They are all smart people and can understand the profound meaning contained in "Ninth".
When scientists discuss it privately, they generally agree on the following:
"Mr. Chen is right."
"Alien threats exist objectively, but humanity is not hopeless."
"More than 95% of the content in this documentary makes perfect sense."
"Mr. Chen's deduction of scientific and social systems is both logical and full of imagination."
"Yes, this is not only a science fiction movie, but also a masterpiece that conforms to scientific laws and is full of philosophical thoughts."
"I can't believe it. I originally thought that the fastest space voyage would take two to three thousand years, but I didn't expect that it would be possible in the 24th century. Dyson membranes were 'grown' using biological technology, and force fields were used to compress space to generate bubble layers.
Warp-like engines, warp flight, stellar engines, antimatter power, dark energy generators... the future is really incredible."
"I have imagined these things, but I don't know how to realize them. The processes and derivation principles described by Mr. Chen seem to be fantastic, but in fact..."
"It actually means something, right?"
"Yes. I can't find any way to falsify it."
"Just wait, time will give everyone the answer."
"It's a pity that I am already fifty-four years old this year. I'm really afraid that I won't be able to wait until that day."
"Not necessarily. He is trying to crack the secret of longevity. As far as I know, Dr. Nanding is in charge of this project."
…
The businessmen had different ideas. They combined the development direction of human technology in the 21st century announced by Chen Feng three days ago with "Ninth".
In this documentary, Chen Feng's business ideas are exposed.
The businessmen were busy thinking about how to catch this train as soon as possible.
No matter how far productivity and technological levels develop, businessmen who are responsible for the flexible allocation of social resources always have value.
It is the instinct of businessmen to pursue more profits and participate in social operations with greater resource allocation rights.
As for politicians, the mood is much more complicated.
Some are happy and some are sad.
The world will never be truly harmonious.
Even if it is a pseudo-Datong where all mankind works towards the same goal, there will still be a decisive backbone.
Over the next two thousand years, some countries will lose dominance.
Some countries will inevitably return to where they should be.
Although everyone will be better off, the narrow-minded thinking of preferring the head of a chicken to the tail of a phoenix still restricts the vision of many politicians.
What is narrow-mindedness?
That is, it doesn’t matter whether I live a better life than I did yesterday. What matters is that no one in this world must live a better life than us.
Some politicians' minds have been wandering for a while, and they even occasionally thought of taking risks.
But in "Ninth", Chen Feng revealed the name of a weapon called Quark Quantum Bomb.
This is a terrifying weapon that can theoretically tear apart the earth if it reaches sufficient power, and it can be produced by him in the twenty-first century.
It is countless times more powerful than the most powerful explosive weapon that humans have ever imagined. Because of its weird stability, its yield can be superimposed "infinitely" and eventually exceed the earth's ability to withstand it.
The idea behind this bombshell is Chen Feng’s private life that was brought into the documentary.
It does not appear in the ninth timeline.
A long time ago, the then fashionable and crazy Sergey Ponomarenko hid a bomb that could tear the earth apart deep in the earth's core in order to fight against the control of human civilization by "Song of the Outer World". This is what he used.
Quark quantum bomb.
Chen Feng wants to use a big bomb that can destroy everything to completely eliminate everyone's evil thoughts, and use unparalleled power to force everyone to put down their butcher's knives and become Buddhas immediately.
In order to make his own safety more reliable, Chen Feng brought another personal item into "Ninth".
Individual armor made of ultra-high-strength materials that allows people to survive in the center of a nuclear explosion.
The design idea came from the old-fashioned armor he wore for the first time, but the material science also used the adaptive materials in the Azure Dragon Armor.
This can extinguish the evil thoughts of some people who try to obliterate him as an individual.
Chen Feng has already played with people's hearts.
If he did not announce the alien threat first, but directly told others that he had mastered the weapon to destroy the earth, he would probably be the first to die.
But now he has changed the order to: others first know the threat of the compound-eyed man, and then discover his dangerous side.
Then his description of the bomb was specious.
He vaguely told others that I might really know how to make it, or I might not.
Then he put on his personal armor and told others openly and covertly how difficult it would be to kill him.
In a state of mutual competition between countries, his personal negative threat to civilization and his positive value will reach a delicate balance.
…
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, we were wrong."
Unexpectedly, at noon on the 20th, a few of the most powerful opinion leaders who opposed Chen Feng remained.
Representatives of these people took the initiative to come to Chen Feng to apologize.
They said that they were not against Chen Feng at that time, but just wanted to defend the dignity of science.
But now, when they discovered that there was "alien technology" behind Chen Feng, they finally changed their minds.
Chen Feng smiled and shook his head, "No, I can't say you are wrong. I understand why you see arrogance and arrogance in me. If I were you, I would think so too. Your cognition is in line with the limitations of the times and the logic of human thinking.
The basic laws. However, to challenge unknown enemies, everyone needs to jump out of their own limitations. You must learn to see irrational things as reasonable existences."
Chen Feng once again began to spread his thoughts to the outside world.
Change starts now.
At this time, Mendelssohn, who should have unconditionally trusted everything Chen Feng said, suddenly raised a new doubt.
"Mr. Chen, everything else in the documentary is basically reasonable. But there is one problem. Zheng Feng, the descendant of the survivors on Earth in the 31st century, and his assistant Freders have played too important a role in history.
According to what you said, the environment of the earth in the 31st century, where deadly germs were dropped by aliens, is so harsh that it is impossible for ordinary people to survive."
"Not only did Zheng Feng survive, he also assembled the armor by collecting discarded parts. He also found the hiding place of another survivor, Foredes, and successfully left the solar system... This is so unreasonable. Lost Civilization
It is impossible for an individual to have such scientific literacy and amazing physical ability at the same time."
"Furthermore, the emergence of the survivor camp where Zheng Feng and Fredes were born was also accidental. If the black holes and the enemies brought by the travelers really released deadly germs in the solar system, then the probability of leaving survivors on the earth is less than 10,000
One or two. This is unreasonable."
"Also, if it weren't for these two people, especially Zheng Feng, the human race in the story would not have survived the forty-first century, and would have been completely destroyed by the thirty-fifth century at the latest. Zheng Feng is a personal heroic character in Hollywood blockbusters
.His birth was too accidental, and his appearance was incompatible with the rigorous academic atmosphere in the entire documentary, as if it were a miracle."
"Assuming that all your judgments are correct except for Zheng Feng, and that mankind will inevitably usher in the end, then you can't place your hopes on such a strong savior who was born by chance. Your other deductions are impeccable. I know
Why would you deliberately portray an unconventional character like Zheng Feng in the story, in order to increase our chances of winning as much as possible? You want to break the despair a little bit, right?"
"But I don't think it's necessary. To defeat the enemy, we can only rely on ourselves as humans. We rely on you, us, and our descendants from generation to generation, rather than relying on God's mercy. Even if we want to perish, we can only rely on
It is our own incompetence that leads to our destruction, not our failure to wait for God to save us.”
"Noah's Ark is just a beautiful fantasy in mythology. The real Ark can only be made by our hands."
Mendelssohn was very excited and said a lot in one breath.
The old gentleman has been dealing with the Lost Ships in Area 52 these years.
His depth of understanding of alien threats is even greater than that of Aeron.
Chen Feng was stunned on the spot.
After all, I still underestimated everyone in the world.
He smiled.
He first refuted Mendelssohn's point of view.
"Dr. Mendelsohn, you think Zheng Feng is a manifestation of personal heroism. I don't think so. I think his appearance is logical. You should not look at the next stage of human beings in evolutionary history with the current perspective."
Chen Feng first explained the degree of gene arousal in detail to everyone, and then said: "When more and more genes in the human body wake up from their slumber and play their due roles, what changes will be brought to the human body.
I have given a clear statement in the documentary. Then it is natural that a certain individual has the greatest mutation."
"In our history, there are many heroes who single-handedly changed the destiny of civilization. For example, during the Qin Dynasty of our country, Qin Shihuang, who knew how to unify writing, weights, measures, and monetary units, for example... There is no reason for such a person to exist in the past. In the future
It can’t happen. If we wait for a thousand years for a heroic leader of civilization, why not?”
Mendelssohn was stunned for a moment, "This...that...but..."
Chen Feng changed the topic again, "But Dr. Mendelsohn, your point of view is not necessarily wrong. We do have to rely on ourselves. Even assuming that there will be Zheng Feng or someone else in the future, in my deduction, we
The future is still very difficult. I have accelerated the progress of almost every civilization progress node to
To the extreme, humans in the 31st century even provided Zheng Feng, a transcendent person, but in the end he was still no match for the third-level civilization. However, as long as we can do better than we imagine, everyone can
If everyone can transcend the upper limit of their own fate, then the hope of civilization still exists."
The flattering Elen nodded heavily, "Yes, I have the confidence to surpass my own limits."
Rameneke Nanding said: "I will try my best to let everyone here live to be one hundred years old...even to one hundred and fifty years old! I also have this confidence!"
Chen Feng shook his head, "This is not a question of confidence, because no matter whether we have confidence or not, we have to bite the bullet. Just like in ancient times, when faced with the invasion of wild beasts, someone had to hold a weapon made of a wooden stick to cover the retreat of women and children.
.If you ask these primitive people whether they had any confidence at that time, they definitely didn’t. They just overcame the fear in their hearts because they had no choice.”
"Everyone, the reason why I set a course for the development of science and technology in the next hundred years is not because I have any desire to control. I just want to prepare for a thousand years from now. We have, and only a thousand years
. I hope that thousands of years from now, there will still be people who miss all of you here just as people today miss Confucius, Sakyamuni, Jesus Christ, and Socrates."
"Now I give you three choices. First, join my team and follow my arrangements to do your own work. I will give you enough extra compensation through the foundation. Second, absolutely believe in yourself and do what you want to do.
Do your best to achieve your goals. Even if your behavior jumps out from my
I will also give you the greatest support for your plan. Third, just degenerate and become a useless person. After all, the disaster a thousand years from now will have nothing to do with you. You won’t survive that time. At most, it can only be you.
Lots and lots of things... the descendants of our children will just die under the butcher's knife of others."
Since then, the meeting, which lasted for four days, has come to an end.
Chen Feng gained 811 like-minded reserve personnel of the Salvation Society, and at the same time established hundreds of "enemies" for himself in the scientific community who wanted to push him to the ground and rub him.
His goal was basically achieved.
Unconsciously, time has come to July 24th, and there is only one day left before the "time travel".
Usually, by this time, he was already packing up and getting ready to leave.
After all, the rest of his life will be a time of idle management, and if he is just a little lazy for a day, it will not harm the overall situation.
But this time things have changed.
He has decided to give up resurrection and return.
There is no turning back when the bow is fired. Since he cannot do it again this time, the next time for him will become his real life.
Of course he has to go all out.
Therefore, the hard-working man simply worked an all-nighter at Xingfeng Entertainment that night to record the demo of "The Last Thousand Years" with Zhong Lei.
Now Chen Feng's drum and guitar accompaniment are both excellent, and there is no problem that he has not practiced for a long time.
After recording, the two listened to it again and again and continued to think about it for a long time. Zhong Lei made fine adjustments and polished it bit by bit.
When she made some small changes, Chen Feng played with him once.
However, Zhong Lei was a little embarrassed. She smiled and said, "If you let such a big shot do nothing else but accompany me to tune the music, I really have no virtue or ability."
Chen Feng also laughed, "Being able to be an accompanist for the female version of Beethoven is an honor that many people can't wait for in their lifetime."
Zhong Lei's old habit relapsed, and she took a closer look, "You can't get over this, right? If Beethoven knew about it, he would rush out of the grave and knock your head. I am who I am, and Beethoven is Beethoven, so take it.
Got you?"
Chen Feng chuckled, "You are so arrogant that you dare to compare yourself with Beethoven."
Zhong Lei was immediately embarrassed, her face turned red and she hit him on the shoulder, "That's not because you were tricking me! You hate it!"
The two of them were laughing and joking in the company as if no one else was around.
Chen Feng originally thought that it would be sad to decide not to return, but he didn't expect that his relationship with Zhong Lei would become much more natural.
because……
There will be no future.
The pattern of this timeline has become like this.
He and Zhong Lei first started from the 21st century and lived a good life.
Then he will be resurrected a thousand years later and live out his life with the humans of the thirty-first century.
This time, he and Zhong Lei in the 21st century will not be reset again, and his and Zhong Lei's lives will move from illusion to reality.
"By the way, I heard that Meng Xiaozhou said that you offended many people during the meeting a few days ago? It's not a big deal, right?"
Chen Feng shook his head, "It's okay. I just started a science competition. In a few hundred years, I will make all the bullshit I boasted about come true. People who refute me can also jump out of the boundaries I have drawn and get new ones.
Results. So there will be no losers in this contest. Those who try to prove me wrong will get their answers. I will get mine."
Zhong Lei nodded, "You go to scientists first because scientists have simpler ideas. They care about the nature of science more than interests and power, right?"
Chen Feng smiled and nodded, "Yes, a true scholar is not in love with political tactics, nor does he care much about the gains and losses of personal interests."
"But I heard some people..."
"They are not real scientists. Or they were once, but not anymore. It doesn't matter..."
Zhong Lei: "What you want is just probability, right?"
"Yes, some people's lives will get worse because of me, but some people will get better. As long as there are more good things than bad, it's not a loss."
"You are really like a philosopher now."
Zhong Lei said half seriously and half jokingly.
One day later.
On the evening of July 25, 2020, Chen Feng and Zhong Lei were lying side by side on the bed.
