"Launch the 'Artificial Doomsday' plan and promote the 'Flint Project'."
"Sir's legacy?"
"kindness."
"very good."
"But there is a hidden danger that needs to be eliminated in advance."
"What?"
"A guest has appeared again recently. We have to see him off first."
"Um...what help do you need?"
"We need to entertain our guests properly so we have time to prepare."
"Where's the target?"
"Japan."
"Okay, ten days. In ten days you will see fireworks blooming on Mount Fuji."

Time November 25, 2076
Chu Yanran still did not sign the "final agreement", but surprisingly, Fu Yihan took Chu Yanran to participate in the promotion ceremony of the "Firestone Project".
The ceremony was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Most of the participants were political figures from various countries. People engaged in scientific research like Chu Yanran and Fu Yihan were relatively rare. However, Chu Yanran did not make an appearance. She waited until the evening to meet Fu Yihan.
Han attended the scientific seminar after the ceremony.
The atmosphere is familiar but the familiar people are missing.
And because the basic content of the discussion has been established, there are fewer arguments.
A seminar without opposing voices is of no value. Chu Yanran has always believed this, so she wore a mask and remained silent from beginning to end.
After the meeting, Fu Yihan, who noticed that Chu Yanran was unhappy, took her to a very remote bar, where an old friend had been waiting for Chu Yanran for a long time.
"Okay, I know you are very sleepy now, but trust me, I won't let you down."
Chu Yanran walked into the bar suspiciously, only to find that there was no noise as expected. Instead, there was only the intoxicating light on the stage, and a female singer with a magnetic voice was singing jazz. Chu Yanran actually remembered this song,
It was once Yougege's favorite, the song is called "danger in loving you".
"This way." Fu Yihan looked around in the bar, and then found the familiar figure in the corner.
After the two people walked over, the man lying in the corner was still sleeping soundly with his face covered by his hat.
Fu Yihan didn't rush to wake him up. He ordered two drinks first and then picked up the spoon and tapped the cup.
Then the man's snoring stopped suddenly, he sat up, rubbed his eyes, and put on his hat.
Only then did Chu Yanran see his appearance clearly, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Li Rang?!"
Uncle Li Rang with a slovenly beard smiled slightly and winked at Chu Yanran: "Long time no see, beautiful lady."
Chu Yanran really didn't expect to see her old friend here again. Even though Li Rang was actually just a friend of hers, now she feels even more intimate as long as she can see the people she was with in the base.
And more importantly, Chu Yanran quickly discovered something unusual about Li Rang.
"You...you haven't aged either?"
Li Rang took a sip of beer, and then whispered: "Shh, this is a secret. In order to avoid getting killed, I thought about it for a long time before agreeing to Yihan to meet you."
ah?
Chu Yanran looked at Fu Yihan doubtfully.
Fu Yihan explained: "On the day Professor Zeng died, many people had abnormalities. Li Rang just
One of the more special ones.”
"What's special?"
After Li Rang put down his wine glass and looked around, he raised his hand and put it in front of Chu Yanran. Then in front of her, Li Rang's hand actually grew scales, and the change was far more than this.
After watching Li Rang's hand turn into a crocodile shape, Li Rang turned his palm over, and then the palm became furry again, like a big cat's paw.
Then, under Chu Yanran's shocked expression, Li Rang restored his palm and pointed at his eyes and said, "Pay attention to my pupils."
Before Chu Yanran could recover from the shock just now, she realized that Li Rang's eyes had also turned into those of a feline, full of wild and dangerous eyes.
"You...you're alienated?!" Chu Yanran naturally thought of the alienation phenomenon that occurred on Gaia.
But obviously, Li Rang didn't know this.
He asked rhetorically: "Alienation?"
"Um...are your cells infected by alienation?" Chu Yanran explained.
Li Rang shook his head: "No, I'm fine. It's just that my brain's ability to control my body has reached an incredible level, so..."
"so?!"
"So as you just saw, he can change any part of his body at will, as if his body has been quantized."
"What!?" Chu Yanran couldn't calm down anymore after hearing this. She stood up excitedly, which attracted the attention of the people around her.
Fortunately, Chu Yanran reacted quickly and immediately picked up the wine glass and threw it in Li Rang's face.
Li Rang also immediately said aggrievedly: "Dear, don't be angry, I can explain."
When people around him saw this gesture, they were a little curious, but it was commonplace. The singer on the stage shook his head, cleared his throat, and started singing another song.
This time it was jazz, but Chu Yanran didn’t know which song it was.
"I'm sorry..." Chu Yanran sat down again, feeling very embarrassed.
Li Rang waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, but you, do you have any thoughts about me?"
"Ah?" Chu Yanran was stunned for a moment, then blushed. She realized that Li Rang's words were obviously not about the relationship between men and women, but about the practical significance of super-element quantization.
Assuming that Li Rang was really quantized inadvertently, his value to the "sliced universe" would be too great.
"The 'Flintstone Project' will take at least a hundred years. After a hundred years, all observation data will be collected and 'activated'. If everything goes well, we will directly start the second part - 'Slicing the Earth', and at the same time, we will also conduct
Establish a special training base and start cultivating strength for the third part, but if we have not broken through the uncertainty of the quantum realm at that time, then... all this effort will be in vain, and we will become sinners through the ages."
Fu Yihan said.
Chu Yanran remembered the original model.
After the theoretical model of the sliced universe was established, a series of implementable plans were formulated, and these plans were generally divided into three parts.
The "Flintstone Project" is the beginning, and the goal is to confirm the practical possibility of the "slicing" theory. If it goes well, humans will complete the "slicing" of the earth in the super calculation core. Although the amount of the project is huge, as long as there is sufficient time, it is still very possible.
Hope it's completed.
And if the "Flint Project" is completed, the next step is to expand from "slicing the earth" to slicing the "universe".
This is also the most difficult and easiest
The stage that caused the entire plan to fall short.
Because with our current level of science and technology, even if we develop another hundred or even two hundred years, our observations of the universe will still be very limited. Let’s take a simple example.
There is a large amount of matter and antimatter in the universe. Matter is relatively common, and most of it can be observed with the naked eye, but antimatter is indeed still mysterious.
Another example is black holes.
As a super celestial body that has had a "dangerous" aura since its discovery, humans still have very little knowledge of black holes.
In this case, how can we complete the slicing of the "universe" without observation?
The idea put forward by Chu Yanran and others here is to use "factors" and "quantum" to fuse into an observation point like the first central axis, and use the sun to launch it to major star systems, forming an "infinite diffusion".
There is no exhaustion in this kind of diffusion in theory, because as far as mankind knows, one of the greatest characteristics of "factors" is its "non-exhaustion" property.
Although this is incredible, and no one has figured out the scientific principle of it yet, since the "factor" has appeared with the "gate" and has been delivered to humans, we should learn to apply it.
But there is still a problem that needs to be solved.
Although the "factor" can ensure that the "observation points" responsible for "slicing the universe" are all over the universe, it is unknown how much time it will take before the "observation points" fill the universe and reach the optimal observation density.
Moreover, if we only use the speed of light to calculate this diffusion speed, then "slicing the universe" is equivalent to empty talk, and we simply don't have that much time.
This is why Zeng Yijie keeps emphasizing, "We don't have time!"
When thinking of this, Chu Yanran suddenly understood a lot of things.
She looked at Fu Yihan and asked softly: "You... lied?!"
Fu Yihan smiled and said nothing. She looked at Li Rang, who also smiled, but Li Rang said, "We can't make all preparations before setting off, can we?"
Chu Yanran understood. She guessed correctly. People like Fu Yihan had indeed lied, and this lie made those in power believe that "slicing the universe" was feasible.
But in fact... the most critical part is still blank, and if this gap cannot be filled within a hundred years, then what awaits all mankind may be an unprecedented catastrophe...
"You are really reckless in doing things..." Chu Yanran sighed. She rarely sighed before, but recently it has almost become a habit.
Fu Yihan said: "Yanran, this is not reckless, but a necessary attempt. Do you want to watch the world move forward in such a muddle?"
Chu Yanran shook her head. She didn't agree with Fu Yihan's statement, but she increasingly felt that Fu Yihan's tone was somewhat similar to You Gege's thinking.
Thinking of this, Chu Yanran suddenly woke up. She looked at Fu Yihan and asked, "Did you also lie to me?"
Fu Yihan was startled: "Did I lie to you?"
Chu Yanran looked around. Everything in the bar was the same as before, but she always felt that something was wrong. Such a meeting happened shortly after the actor was assassinated. How could there not be anyone monitoring it?
unless……
Unless this meeting was deliberately arranged from the beginning.
Thinking of this, Chu Yanran couldn't help but feel a chill running down her spine. When she turned back to look at Fu Yihan, Fu Yihan was no longer in her seat, replaced by someone whom Chu Yanran had never expected.
