Ever since they told Akashi and others about their plan to farm that day, their enthusiasm has increased. The agricultural greenhouse designed by Chaokage has become a treasure in their hearts. They have to take a look at the greenhouse before doing anything to feel comfortable.
.
They planted potatoes, cabbage, and some spinach in the greenhouse. These are relatively cold-resistant vegetables.
Although Asakage had explained that a suitable temperature would be maintained inside the agricultural greenhouse, Akashi and others were probably too afraid of failure and insisted on planting these cold-resistant plants.
The most outrageous thing is Niu Zheng. He is extremely passionate about these vegetables. He wakes up early and stays up late every day just to go to the greenhouse to water these vegetables and take care of their growth.
Those who don’t know may think that the greenhouse is full of his children.
Relying on the rare metals that Akashi brought to him earlier, Gu Zhuo also made a set of exoskeleton armor for Chaoying. This set of exoskeleton armor is definitely not as good as Gu Zhuo's war machine in terms of performance, nor is it as good as Jia's.
The original Thunder S-1 is just as portable and is only used for daily self-defense. It is completely sufficient.
Originally, these metals were meant to be used by Akashi to make a mechanical arm. Gu Zhuo thought that would improve his combat effectiveness. But Akashi refused. He wanted to use that empty sleeve to forever remember those people in the past who he was unable to protect.
.
He must continue to suffer forever, because only pain can make the memory unforgettable and eternal.
Seeing this, Gu Zhuo didn't force him.
After those rare metals were used to make a set of exoskeleton armor, they were almost used.
After all, all the required materials have been used up when building the base, and the base has not yet been completed.
Seeing that the next reincarnation disaster is two days away, although the Prophet Cult has not sent anyone here, Gu Zhuo is still worried that they will launch a sneak attack during this time period, so he has not explored further, otherwise he will say
There might not have been enough materials to completely build the base long ago.
And it is estimated that even if Akashi and the others are asked to look for materials in nearby cities, they will not gain anything. After all, Gu Zhuo's mechanics have already absorbed all the nearby metals that can be used by him.
Even so, Akashi and the others were still determined to do more for Gu Zhuo, and they still drove out to search in various towns every day. However, in the end they found nothing.
...
Time passes very quickly, especially such calm and peaceful days, which are like a fleeting moment in the apocalypse, and the end is particularly sudden.
In the blink of an eye, tomorrow will be another cycle of disaster.
That night, Gu Zhuo asked Sam to return to the Doomsday Fortress, because Sam could serve as an early warning of danger. As for the group of white wolves, they were very smart and realized that tomorrow would be a different day, and they did not need Gu Zhuo's help.
Following the instructions, he hid in the stone hall early.
Akashi and others originally wanted to sleep in the car, but their past experiences made them accustomed to spending this long night in the car.
At least if something unexpected happens, you can drive away quickly.
But now we are at Gu Zhuo's base, not in the wild. Compared with the outside world, it is who knows how much safer it is here.
Therefore, they changed their past habits and decided to continue sleeping in the stone hall tonight.
It was said that no one could sleep. Everyone was uneasy, even Gu Zhuo was worried about the uncertainty of tomorrow.
At that time, Chaoying was lying in his arms, and the warmth in Gu Zhuo's arms made her feel at ease every time.
Feeling Gu Zhuo's strong heartbeat, Chao Ying raised his head and saw his frowning eyebrows.
She reached out her hand, touched Gu Zhuo's brow, massaged it gently, and said softly:
"Still thinking about tomorrow?"
"Well, we can't think about it. Who knows what we will encounter tomorrow. I don't even dare to close my eyes now, for fear of falling asleep."
Hearing this, Chaoying raised his upper body and kissed the corners of his eyes, then leaned down again and looked back into Zhuo's arms:
"Then let's talk. In fact, I don't dare to sleep."
Gu Zhuo put one hand on Chaoying's shoulder, caressing it back and forth, and put the other hand on the back of his head, saying:
"Okay, let's talk. Why don't we talk about those formulas? Those can make me sober up. Have you discovered anything new about those formulas?"
"I don't think those things can make you sober."
"Why?"
Gu Zhuo asked her doubtfully.
"Do you know that the essence of the world is mathematics, and all mathematics ultimately serves physics? If you study a mathematical formula to the extreme, it will enter the category of physics.
"Physics, on the other hand, often makes people sleepy."
Hearing Chao Ying's last words, Gu Zhuo laughed out loud. He patted Chao Ying on the shoulder and recalled when he was in school:
"Yes, physics can make people sleepy. I used to doze off as soon as I got to physics class, and I would be so sleepy that eight cows couldn't pull me back."
"Then do you still want to listen? Aren't you afraid of falling asleep?"
Gu Zhuo shrugged, grabbed a strand of Chaoying's hair, played with it on his fingertips, and said:
"Let's talk. If I get sleepy, I'll interrupt you and let's talk about something else."
"good."
Chaoying said, got up from Gu Zhuo's arms, took a pen and a piece of paper from the bedside table, and drew several connected arcs on the paper. These arcs formed several large and small ones.
The ovals surround each other. Among these ovals, Chaoying drew several more black spots.
After finishing the painting, Gu Zhuo put his head on her shoulder, looked at the paper, and asked puzzledly:
"What is this? Does it have anything to do with physics?"
"This is the movement of galaxies."
Hearing this, Gu Zhuo was a little surprised. He couldn't believe that such simple lines on this piece of paper could actually be the movement between galaxies.
He pointed to the black dots on the morning shadow paper and asked:
"Then do these black spots represent different planets?"
"yes."
Chao Ying nodded and continued to tell him,
"Let me put it simply, if we use the existing physical theory, we cannot explain the movement between galaxies, because it will involve many new variables. However, in physics, the introduction of new variables into a problem often represents a regression.
.
"Scientific progress and the discovery of truth usually involve subtraction. For example, Einstein's theory of relativity eliminated the concept of ether."
"I'm already a little sleepy."
Gu Zhuo shook his head and buried his head in Chao Ying's shoulder.
Chaoying smiled and said:
"Then do you want to continue listening? These things are quite boring."
"Please explain it more simply. What is the connection between this unexplained galaxy movement and the formulas you wrote down?"
Chaoying sat up, crossed half of the bed, took the computer on the other side, and turned on the computer. When the computer interface opened, there was a photo of the universe, and on the photo was a beautiful supernova.
"What's this?"
Gu Zhuo asked.
"It is the Revsdal supernova that is 14.4 billion light-years away from us. Physicists have accurately calculated the time and direction of its appearance, proving that at least within this distance range, the physics we have discovered is applicable.
"It was this discovery that once excited physicists and astronomers all over the world. Because if the laws of physics change even slightly on such a large scale as the universe, such accurate results cannot be obtained.
.”
"It's amazing. These physicists are so great."
Gu Zhuo sincerely admired that he was no longer sleepy.
"The formulas they used to calculate this supernova are very complex, and the data are huge, covering all aspects. The formulas I wrote on paper are very similar to the formulas they used, except that they changed a few constants.
That’s it. But these formulas can be applied to the motion trajectories of galaxies.”
Gu Zhuo swallowed:
"So, what you mean is..."
"Everything is just like what has been set. Everything is pointing more and more towards the possibility that the universe we are in now, or at least the solar system, is like a petri dish specially set up for us.
"No matter what it is, whether it is the 'consciousness' of the universe itself or God, He has set up a bunch of obstacles to prevent us from escaping this petri dish. Such a low speed of light, such a short lifespan, and the elusive science
...
"What's ridiculous is that the truth that many top scientists have spent their whole lives pursuing is now worse than the formula that the mathematician wrote in the two nights when he took my body. No matter what is behind it, it is really disgusting."
After Chaoying finished speaking, she sighed heavily. Her mood was no longer as relaxed as before and became heavy.
Gu Zhuo doesn't feel sleepy at all now. Although he knows nothing about physics, Chao Ying's words are so simple and easy to understand, and he also knows what it means.
Human beings are toys, poor objects to be observed.
No matter how smart a top scientist is, he cannot escape the fate of being observed.
No wonder Newton remained a firm theist until his death.
Gu Zhuo hugged Chao Ying into his arms, and he felt Chao Ying trembling slightly in his arms.
Yes, rather than facing the doomsday, it should be Chaoying who feels more terrifying at this time. She is so close to the truth of the world, and the ultimate end of the world is so cold that no one can accept it. She has already accepted it in her heart.
The more capable one.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhuo touched Chao Ying's shoulder and said softly:
"Why don't we continue to study those formulas? I'm already strong now, and those formulas have no effect on us. They can only increase our troubles. It's a good thing for us to just live in confusion and live well.
s Choice..."
"no."
Chaoying raised his face to look at him, and suddenly there was a certain light in his eyes. It was a light that shone brighter than a supernova explosion, and contained the spirit of mankind's pursuit of knowledge and exploration for thousands of years.
She said:
"I will continue to research. We cannot be kept in the dark forever. Human beings have the right to know the truth. Even if the truth is cruel and ruthless.
"Hear the Tao in the morning and die in the evening."
Gu Zhuo looked at her and was shocked by the light in her eyes. Finally, he nodded and said:
"Okay, no matter what you do, I will support you."
[Author's digression]: This chapter touches on some physical knowledge, which may be a bit boring, but what I write is a science fiction doomsday novel after all. In addition to the apocalypse, there are still some elements of soft science fiction.
