"I know this thing is weird, but we don't have enough time, you know?!" The Russian uncle was very angry.
"Time...time again...I always feel that these studies are in vain, and maybe they will stop here in a hundred years." Fu Yihan was the same, she really wanted to tear up the research report in her hand.
"One hundred years... we don't have that much time. Whether the earth will still exist in one hundred years is a matter of two opinions." Zeng Yijie's pessimism made the atmosphere of the meeting even more depressing.
Li Rang smiled and placed the cocktail in front of You Gege.
Yougege was a little flattered and said: "Thank you."
"Here we go again! Why do you conclude that the earth will no longer exist in a hundred years?" Russian uncle Alek Rukonev spread his hands, picked up his own wine bottle, and started dundundun.
The advantage of a dinner-style meeting is that everyone can speak freely and are not so formal.
Zeng Yijie raised his eyebrows: "Brother Alek, I am not being alarmist. Didn't you also discover a while ago that those forerunners are like ancient viruses? They may be peaceful now, but as long as they are given the right
environment, they will revive and infect the entire world. By then, even if the earth is still there, we humans should be replaced."
Alek retorted: "No, no, no, we just found that their cells are extremely imitative and permeable. This doesn't mean anything, and bacteria are not all bad. You see, it's like
Just like the stinky tofu that you Chinese love to eat, you don’t think that these things that make tofu stink will destroy the earth, do you?”
Everyone laughed as soon as this was said.
Zeng Yijie was the same, but with a wry smile, he was not a person who worried about gains and losses, but as the research deepened, he gradually discovered that these seemingly harmless "pioneers" were actually in a state of low vitality, that is, they were not fully
of waking up.
After confirming this, Zeng Yijie immediately alerted the research teams in each division and reported to the top management of the National Security Department, but the result was a warning from Li Shaoan.
The specific content of the warning is unknown, but since then Zeng Yijie has become extremely passive and less concerned about research.
Fu Yihan was the only one who didn't smile. She had been thinking about a problem, which was how to solve the research that might take her a hundred years or more to conduct in a limited time.
This issue is very complicated, and in the eyes of most people it is even more of a joke.
But Fu Yihan refused to admit defeat. She left the restaurant early and returned to the laboratory to continue her research.
You Gege didn't like this kind of situation very much, so when he saw Fu Yihan leaving, You Gege followed him.
The two entered the laboratory one after another.
It wasn't a surprise when Fu Yihan looked back and saw You Gege, because through these few months of getting along, she already knew You Gege's character very well.
"Sister, is there something you haven't finished yet?" Fu Yihan asked.
Yougege stood outside the observation room. The observation room was empty at this time, but Yougege was still watching with concentration.
"No, I'm thinking about a question."
"Huh?" Fu Yihan actually had no idea at the moment. She just didn't want to be idle when she returned to the laboratory.
"If time were a string that could be touched, what would it be like..."
"The String of Time?" Fu
Yihan didn't understand.
Yougege turned around, took out an operating board, and marked two points on it.
a and b.
These two points were also displayed simultaneously on the workbench in front of Fu Yihan.
"If I want to go from A to B, the fastest way is to walk in a straight line, right?"
Fu Yihan nodded, and then watched Yougege connect a and b with a straight line.
Then Yougege asked: "Can this line be regarded as the string of time?"
This metaphor is not so rigorous, but it is very vivid.
Fu Yihan thought thoughtfully: "Well, using lines to describe distance is actually one of the necessary elements when we describe the time it takes to go from a to b."
Yougege smiled slightly and continued: "According to our usual thinking, we must move along this line and speed up as much as possible so that we consume the least time, right?"
"Yep."
Yougege's statement is slightly abstract, but this abstraction is the essence of the development of things.
Just like reading at this moment, every sound we make, every breath we take, all take time, or maybe time keeps passing by and never stops for any of us for a second.
"Then if, at this time, I bend this line as much as possible, then will the straight-line distance between a and b be shortened?" Yougege said as he gently drew upwards with his finger on the operating panel.
Then the straight line between a and b begins to bend in a certain arc. While maintaining the total length of the line, a and b continue to approach. At this time, the second straight line appears.
And this straight line is constantly shrinking.
At first, Fu Yihan didn't understand what You Gege meant, but when she saw the bend and the second straight line, her heart beat faster.
"Time will not stop for you and me. It will always pass. It is absolute and relative, just like the winding path in the park. Obviously, you only need to step on a few lawns to pass through the entire park.
"Crossing a few fences can greatly reduce the time we spend, but we still have to move along the road at our feet, because we can't bear to see the scenery on both sides of the road..." Yougege closed the control panel and put it down.
Go back to where you started.
Fu Yihan was still staring at the curved line in front of her, thinking about what You Gege said.
Time has never stopped for you and me...
If it were a string that could be touched...
So could bending allow us to find shorter shortcuts?
One hundred years is really too long. Fu Yihan can't wait for that day. It's even possible that as Zeng Yijie said, even humans can't wait for that day...
…
After arriving at his residence, Yougege took a bath.
When I was lying on the bed and about to rest, there was a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw Zhang Fengyu and Ou Mengya.
The two of them have been very close recently, but only Yougege knows that the ambiguity between Zhang Fengyu and Ou Mengya is to conceal Ou Mengya's identity.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Zhang Fengyu's solemn face, You Gege was a little scared.
The two of them didn't speak. They just entered the house and started looking around.
Ou Mengya even took out a submachine gun, looking like she was facing a formidable enemy.
You Gege watched the strange behavior of the two people at the door. It was not until Zhang Fengyu came out of the bathroom and shook his head that Ou Mengya took a deep breath and said: "Huh...
…Fortunately, he didn’t run towards us…”
Um?
Yougege became even more confused.
Then Zhang Fengyu explained: "Something happened to the EU research team, and three scientists died. When we received the news, the director reminded us that it might not be man-made, so..."
As he spoke, Zhang Fengyu took off the infrared wave spectrometer hanging on his ear and handed it to You Gege.
Yougege took it and took a look and understood it instantly.
But after understanding it, she became even more uneasy.
Because if it is really what Zhang Fengyu and the others are worried about now, then the entire underground experimental base will become perilous.
"Do they really exist?"
Ou Mengya shrugged: "I've never seen it, but be careful when sailing. What's more, the Germans have made a lot of noise outside in the past few months."
"Um?"
I really don’t know about these Yougege.
The situation wasn't that serious before, so Ou Mengya didn't mention it to You Gege, but now she had to talk about it.
…
It turned out that after the start of the third phase of the experiment, the team from the German division blatantly violated the prohibition of the National Security Department headquarters and conducted a third exploration of the "Gate".
But the result was not as confident as when they set out.
After the death toll rose again, German experts did not stop there. Instead, they used the information fed back by the underground research team to further improve the infrared wave spectrometer and conduct a fourth exploration of the "door".
However, this time the operation was blocked by a special formation from the National Security Department before it started. They failed, and due to their repeated violations, the entire German team was kicked out of the Antarctic.
But just when everyone thought everything had finally calmed down, another "door" appeared on the earth, this time in the Dead Sea.
After learning of this situation, the National Security Department immediately deployed forces to blockade the Dead Sea.
However, before the blockade, the German investigation team took the lead in arriving at the "door" at the Dead Sea and once again used an "infrared wave spectrometer" to inspect the door.
This time, they actually succeeded, but they immediately retreated after contacting the "door" to the Dead Sea, and returned home before the National Security Department came to investigate.
Although after many negotiations, Germany was willing to share their findings outside the "door" and the related technology of infrared wave spectrometers with other countries, but when the sharing results came out, everyone knew that the Germans were
The secret found in front of the door was hidden.
…
"This...does this mean they exist?" After hearing Ou Mengya's story, You Gege was a little surprised.
Zhang Fengyu added after hearing this: "Of course he wouldn't be so hasty... In fact, since Heim's death, all countries have noticed the infrared wave spectrometer in Heim's hand, although Germany did not disclose the technology of the infrared wave spectrometer at that time.
But this thing is not complicated. The real problem is how to accurately adjust the divergence frequency of the Bopp instrument."
After hearing this, Yougege lowered his head and looked at the Popper meter in his hand. This thing is still very crude at present, but it already has a precise adjustment device. It seems to be used to calibrate data.
"Guess what we have seen at the frequency of 1153d?" Ou Mengya asked a little naughtily.
Yougege was heartbroken, especially when she saw Ou Mengya's evil smile. She asked tremblingly: "What have you seen?"
