Tech Hammer

China is currently the country with the largest number of Aerospace Dragon series civil aviation spacecraft. According to statistics, China currently has a total of 267 Sky Dragon series passenger ships, of which the four major airlines own a total of 202 ships, and the other 65 ships are operated by other small airlines.

Therefore, China is currently the only country that has opened dedicated spacecraft lines for domestic lines. At present, China Civilian Aerospace Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. has only delivered a total of 320 Aerospace Dragon series aviation spaceships to foreign countries. Therefore, there are only 53 ships abroad. It is not enough to fly international routes. Naturally, it is impossible to open domestic routes. . Of course, even international lines are given priority for long lines exceeding 3,000 kilometers.

Of course, for now, there are not many spaceship lines in China. However, most of the cities where several major basic laboratories and the industrial chains built for the laboratories are located have opened airship routes. This can also be regarded as an internal benefit. Scientists in the laboratory often fly back and forth between several cities, so flying in a spaceship is naturally much more comfortable than flying.

For example, the flight between Cheng Xiaolu and Zhu Xudong only took two hours in total.

During these two hours on the boat, you can choose to watch a movie or go to the arcade to play video games. Now the airline has also launched a virtual online store service on the spacecraft. It provides more than ten specialized rooms on the spacecraft with specialized equipment. It directly cooperates with many high-end brand manufacturers. As long as the consumption reaches a certain amount, not only can you enjoy single-room business class service on this voyage, but you can also get a Free battery life offer.

This time, the two people who made their relationship clear chose to watch a movie in the private theater on the spaceship. The movie ended and the spacecraft was preparing to land. The timing was just right.

After getting off the spaceship, there was already someone holding a sign waiting to greet the two at the dock exit.

"Hello, we are Zhu Xudong and Cheng Xiaolu from Qingshan Research Center."

"Dr. Zhu, Dr. Cheng, hello, I am Sun Changli, a field staff member of the West China base. I am here to greet you on behalf of Academician Ning. I welcome these two doctors to come to the West China production base to guide the work."

"Hello, Brother Sun. By the way, is Academician Ning free today?" Upon hearing Ning Wei's name, Zhu Xudong couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, Academician Ning may not be free today. A foreign friend, Professor Smith, was invited to watch the ceremony. It is said that he is an old friend of Academician Ning. Academician Ning may accompany Professor Smith to visit the Chinese base this afternoon. But it doesn't matter, tomorrow. After the lift-off ceremony, Academician Ning specially arranged for everyone to meet on the Kuafu, and Dr. Zhu will definitely have the opportunity to chat with Academician Ning." Sun Changli said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Sun."

"Come on, let's go up and ask the driver to drive the car to the departure level."

…

West China Airlines spacecraft production base.

Ning Wei, who is missed by countless people, is walking with Smith in the production base.

To say it was a visit was a joke. Smith Front, who switched from mathematics research to philosophy research, was actually not interested in those industrial machines with rough appearance and precision inside. Not to mention that unmanned factories are very boring. During this time, he prefers to chat with Ning Wei about things that are not available...

For example, thinking about the model of human society in the future cosmic era. This kind of discussion is obviously much more interesting than visiting the machine.

Of course, there are many similar propositions, such as the secret of the universe, the meaning of civilization, the mission of people on earth, etc. It seems that these propositions are meaningless, but in fact, research in this area may really be of reference significance for future human interactions.

After all, when humans can really break through the shackles of the earth, and the flowers of earth civilization begin to bloom in the universe, then every step forward will be like crossing the river by feeling for stones, without any reference.

In particular, different planetary environments and living conditions will definitely give rise to different ideas and new cultures. These ideas and cultures may blend or conflict. Especially in the absence of external pressure, it can easily trigger disputes within human civilization, or even interstellar wars.

Of course, these must be hundreds or even thousands of years later. It's just that Smith likes to talk about these things, so he would rather stay with him. Who makes the other party a guest?

"Ning, ten years ago I didn't expect you to reach this point. Even now I can't believe everything I see now. Whether it is the Mir or the current Kuafu. Of course, the most important thing is that you seem to have deciphered The code of this universe. Recently I have been thinking about a question, whether the world we see really exists. It is like a game, which is constantly being optimized as the server expands."

"Haha, if you say so Smith, then our server must have been upgraded to the latest March system."

"Of course, it is indeed possible. Maybe the gods have changed their management mode."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Okay, Smith, I found that your thinking has gone astray. I still think that a qualified philosopher must first be a materialist. Theoretically speaking, gods do not exist. If they do exist, they are at most different types of wisdom. It’s just life. If I were you, I can imagine whether human civilization will be regarded as gods by other civilizations in the future. This is very possible. After all, it takes too long for intelligent life to evolve, and our universe is still in its infancy. "

Ning Wei shook his head and said.

"What if it's cross-universe civilizational exchange? You know, verifiable theology is actually philosophy. It's just a pity that most of the current theology is not verifiable." Smith thought for a while and then asked.

This question made Ning Wei look at this scientist with great interest, although he didn't communicate much, but he had been close friends for a long time. It's a bit surprising that this guy can see it so clearly.

Ning Wei really likes the American in front of him because he feels that Professor Smith really has the character of the protagonists in many Hollywood movies, being open-minded and believing in justice. In Chinese words, he is not only extremely upright in his outlook on life, but also very brave. There are internationalist tendencies. So the two have a good personal relationship.

"That's really awesome. To be honest, cross-universe civilization exchange is exactly what I want to do. Maybe Kuafu has taken on this important task." Ning Wei said in a half-joking and half-serious tone.

Smith frowned and asked: "Isn't it? Does the Kuafu have the ability to sail in short-foot space for a long time? Even if the Kuafu can really do this, how can it determine the coordinates across the universe? Even if the coordinates can be determined, It is impossible for a human being to stay awake for a long time in a hyperspace environment. Who will determine the coordinates? Is it really possible to leave life to the so-called artificial intelligence?"

Ning Wei smiled even more happily: "Why not? The Kuafu actually already has the ability to sail in a space as short as a foot. It will be officially launched tomorrow, but in fact the Kuafu has already undergone many tests. However, These test results are confidential, and it is not convenient to discuss them today. However, today I can reveal some first-hand information to you. We have been able to confirm that extraterrestrial civilizations actually exist, and may even be more advanced than our civilization. "

Hearing Ning Wei's words, Smith was completely stunned, even stopped in his tracks, turned his head and looked at Ning Wei in amazement, and then asked seriously: "Oh my God, Ning, are you kidding me? You must be. It’s a joke, right?”

"Haha, of course not, Smith. You should know me, and you will definitely not joke about this kind of thing. But I will never admit to telling you this on any other occasion. I just don't want to hide it from you. But If this information can provide you with any new ideas for constructing your own philosophical thoughts, I would feel very honored and would not mind you including my name in your latest philosophical research. Of course, in the future I will still not admit that I am talking to you today. That’s all.”

Ning Wei said with a big smile.

As he just said, he really didn't mind revealing this to Smith. As long as he doesn't admit it, even if the scholar in front of him spreads it everywhere, not many people will believe it. But it doesn't matter whether he believes it or not, because he has already made up his mind to do it.

"Okay, you win! It's a pity that your people didn't confiscate all the electronic devices on me before meeting you, otherwise I would have asked you to say it again and record all these words. From another Homogenous civilization of the universe, okay, do you mean that your basic physics laboratory has now mastered the communication method between multiverses?" Smith asked, shaking his head.

Ning Wei smiles and says nothing.

Smith frowned and said carefully: "Let me think about it, I have read a paper about how communication across the universe may rely on weak coupling of energy and information exchange. If you use standard quantum optical equipment, a single ion will Caught in an ion trap and isolated from the surrounding environment."

"At this time, two separate ions can be taken into another system to perform quantum mechanical measurements. The result will be that two parallel worlds can be created. According to the results, the ions should only be stimulated by one of the ions interacting with the surrounding environment. Only then will it become active. So if another ion is excited at the same time, it can prove the existence of multiple worlds, and even enable low-frequency information exchange. That's probably the case, but I can't remember the specific details."

"If you are not joking, this means that you have mastered the method of low-frequency information exchange between multiverses, and even received a response. Philosophically speaking, this proves that the so-called time is not a straight line, but can be traced back. If the world There are countless branches, which means that the existence of all living things has left its mark. Maybe death is not the end, but on the contrary, it is just a long sleep."

"Perhaps at a certain period of time, the eyes of all those who have passed away will eventually open again. It's just that the long-term silence of consciousness prevents these imprints from remembering everything in the last waking cycle. At most, there are only some remaining impressions left, so every day Individuals have to adapt to a new world again and re-understand the basic laws of this world through learning. God, there are no constant laws, everything is just an appearance."

The information just received obviously caused the philosopher's brain to shut down. After all, although the information Ning Wei casually said was simple, it contained too much information, making the former mathematician think too much at the same time.

"Smith, don't think so much. If it were me, I would only need to study the concept of infinity. Any infinite concept contains infinite possibilities. Of course, it also includes the existence of life. In theory, as long as it is proven by us All possibilities allowed by the laws of nature may be happening. But this is not the meaning of life. If you really want to think about it from a philosophical level, I think life is about doing what you should do."

Ning Wei shook his head and said.

"So you plan to take the Kuafu to find a civilization in another universe?" Smith frowned and looked at Ning Wei and asked.

"If there is such an opportunity, why not?" Ning Wei smiled and said.

"But you have a family, Ning. You have a beautiful and gentle lady, and two lovely children. People like you are not suitable for such an adventure." Smith shook his head and said.

After hearing this, Ning Wei fell silent.

Indeed, this is what he cannot let go of the most.

In addition to his wife and children, he also has Lao Ning and his mother who are still alive. And his voyage is definitely the biggest adventure in his life. Even from a civilization far superior to their own, there is still very little information about this area left in biocomputers.

Most of them are still in the experimental process. Even the entire Tech Hammer plan was just a gamble, but with luck, the gamble won. But the data is still too little, and we can only use the only data for simulation in March. To be honest, the probability of safely passing through and returning safely is not high.

But how can I put it, every time I see the scenes in the video played in March, Ning Wei feels a sense of urgency. If you think too much, you may lose courage. Some gifts cannot be lived up to, and some favors must be repaid.

Think about it, given the urinary behavior of some people in this world, if there is no shock that transcends an era, perhaps everything that the civilization in that universe has experienced may happen again in this world.

No matter for any civilization, peace has always been the most precious wealth, bar none. So no matter how dangerous this trip is, he has to go.

Of course he couldn't answer Smith like this...

"Smith, if science wants to progress, someone must sacrifice for it. I have prepared for the worst. And even if I am gone, I will still have March to help me take care of them."

These words were so righteous that Smith was moved by them.

"rather……"

"Um?"

"Have you ever considered the possibility that I am actually a better person to make sacrifices than you? You know, my parents have been in heaven for a long time, and more importantly, I am still a happy bachelor with no ties. Of course. , if you are really worried, maybe you won’t be so lonely if you have one more person on this journey. We had a very pleasant communication. There is a proverb in the West that two people can put the road in their mouths. What do you think?"

"Haha, Smith, don't be kidding. Besides, March will also be on the Kuafu, so I will definitely not be short of people to chat with."

"Ning, I am serious! Very serious. As you said, I could be considered half an enlightenment mentor. Are you really not willing to embark on a journey with your enlightenment mentor?"
