The World Quantum Academic Exchange Conference and Communication Field Conference was successfully held in country F. More than 100 authoritative experts in the quantum field and many famous astrophysicists from more than 20 countries around the world gathered here.
Since quantum computing and quantum communications not only involve the quantum field, but also involve many disciplines such as astrophysics, the conference also specially invited the world's famous astronomy and astrophysicists.
The meeting was chaired by Professor Jason Yaswell, Liu Hanyang and Rene as the three-person joint committee.
There are also Professor Li Mosen, an astrophysicist from Country Z, Dennis Johnson, a quantum expert from Country M, Sir Ekes Burton, a black hole expert from Country Y, and Keishiro Yokoyama, an expert from the Quantum Institute of Country R (specially approved 15-member expert team) , L country astronomer Quan Euntai.
In addition, there are experts in related fields who came to country E, country D and other countries.
As one of the three chairmen of the joint committee, Liu Hanyang and Rene were naturally the focus of experts and media from various countries. The conference was held for three days, but they were so close that they had no time to communicate.
Liu Hanyang found that Rene seemed to be a different person. Although the depression and loss of losing Jenny still remained on his face, some of his former haggard face had regained some of its luster, and he was just a little stern.
Since parting ways with Rene, Liu Hanyang has returned to China and is responsible for presiding over the launch of Country Z's first quantum communication satellite, which has now entered the final debugging stage.
Liu Hanyang briefed experts from various countries on the progress of Country Z's first quantum satellite at the conference. He hoped that the successful launch of the world's first real quantum satellite would bring practical experience and data reference to various countries, with a view to promoting the world Comprehensive progress in quantum technology.
Rene's speech did not mention a word about the promise he had made to Renault - to invite all countries in the world to join F country's quantum supremacy plan.
The remarks he made were shocking.
This is the real purpose of his call for this conference.
"The more developed human science and technology are, the more they pursue advanced technology, which will eventually push mankind to the brink of extinction! On the scale of the universe, we are too small. If we try to lead mankind with technology that shakes the tree like a worm, then what awaits us It must be destruction!”
Rene's impassioned speech caused an uproar in the audience...
"Technology is the driving force that leads human civilization!" Dennis Johnson, a quantum expert from country M, shouted loudly.
"If we stagnate, that will be the end of human civilization!" Ivan Dimitri, an astrophysicist from Country E, echoed.
"No! You are all wrong!" Rene raised his voice, and his blazing eyes shot towards the audience like bursts of flames, "Look at the planet we live on now! Air pollution, drought, hunger, Desertification, nuclear pollution, and dramatic temperature changes, which one is not caused by the so-called technological progress you say!?"
More representatives from various countries joined the discussion and debate, and the audience was full of voices...
"If you insist on using the so-called scientific and technological progress to promote human civilization, and if you still don't wake up, then I, Verhenk René, will lead you and use science and technology to push mankind to the end of civilization! I am willing to be the flag-bearer! "
The audience was like a volcano that had been accumulating energy for a long time. It exploded with a "boom" and the venue was out of control. The sound of abuse and arguments was like rolling thunder...
In desperation, the meeting was temporarily suspended.
In the audience, there was only one person quietly watching the commotion at the venue. He was Quan Euntai from Country L. He held his chin with one hand and his eyes were calm and gentle.
Perhaps before receiving the delayed echo from the Black Knight satellite, he must have been one of the rioting crowds at the venue, but now, the content of the deciphered delayed echo made him have a deep understanding of René. Words have been redefined and understood.
Maybe Rene was right.
Perhaps, too alarmist.
However, the double-edged sword of technology leading human progress and technology destroying mankind has been hanging over the entire development process of human civilization since mankind entered the electrical age.
Human beings constantly modify and perpetuate this paradox in paradox, don’t they? Human civilization has not moved from crisis to technological progress again and again.
But this time, perhaps the content conveyed by the strange radio wave from Genheyi was unscrupulous technological demands that brought their galaxy system to the brink of collapse? Perhaps they are looking for their next home, or perhaps their goal is the earth.
In the snack center in the rest room, Liu Hanyang and René met. There was no familiar funny banter from before, but only simple greetings when their eyes collided.
"How are you doing recently?" René asked without looking up while eating fruit.
"fine!"
Liu Hanyang drank a glass of soda: "How are you?"
"fine!"
"I hope you can get over the pain of losing Jenny, forget the past, start over, and..."
"I told you, I'm fine!" René interrupted Liu Hanyang's words, his eyes shot out with an aggressive aura, "Did my speech make you unhappy?"
"You are an authority in the quantum field, and your speech will..."
"Will it cause pessimism in the scientific community? To be honest, I don't have that much energy. I just remind you that the fanatical pursuit of science and technology will push mankind into an endless abyss."
Liu Hanyang didn't want to continue arguing pointlessly. He knew that Rene in front of him was almost paranoid and hysterical.
“This is not alarmist, this is an epiphany I had while traveling around the world with photos of Jenny.”
"Forget Jenny, just calm down for a while, maybe you will start another relationship."
"No!" Rene almost exploded, his veins popped out and he roared menacingly, "Jenny is my only love, no one can replace her!"
Liu Hanyang nodded helplessly. He looked at Renault, who was near a nervous breakdown not far away, and then at Li Sujia, who shook his head to signal him, then turned and left.
Rene threw away the fruit plate in his hand and sat down on the chair with an angry face.
"Hello, Monsieur Rene!"
Rene looked for a voice and saw a man of medium height, short hair, and a crisp suit standing in front of him.
"Who are you?"
The man stretched out his generous hand: "I am Quan Euntai from country L."
"Oh, please sit down!"
"What you just said was quite prophetic!"
"how to say?"
Quan Entai looked around: "Can I take a step to speak?"
The two came to a small, closed conference room, and Quan Entai handed the content of the delayed echo that he had deciphered into René's hands.
"Our country's astronomical radio telescope recently captured a delayed echo emitted by a mysterious satellite. This delayed echo was discovered by Nikola Tesla in 1901."
"Are you talking about the Black Knight Satellite?" Rene asked in shock.
"Yes."
"Since the 1950s, humans have not discovered it again."
"Yes, it appears every 15 days recently. It should be a remote orbit change."
Quan Euntai said and looked at the deciphered content in Rene's hand.
Rene's eyes returned from a thoughtful state to his hands: "This deciphered content seems to be a star map?"
"Yes! According to our comparison of the satellite characteristics of all countries, the Black Knight does not belong to any man-made celestial body currently known. It should be a space probe launched by a highly developed alien civilization."
"It comes from here?" René pointed to the star map in his hand, "The distant star Epsilon Boötes—Geng Heyi?"
"Well, Genheyi is a binary star system, which is their sun. To be precise, the Black Knight comes from the third rocky planet of this system."
"What do they want to do by launching a space probe to the earth from such a long distance?" A trace of expectation flashed across René's face, although his tone was full of questioning.
"This is why I'm looking for you."
Rene raised his head and looked at Quan Entai with confusion.
"We have tried to communicate with the Black Knight before, but apart from the weird delayed echo, now it neither emits nor receives electromagnetic waves. I speculate that it should use quantum entanglement to communicate with its terminal. Make contact.”
Rene's eyes stared forward, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Follow me!"
The two first came to the René Quantum Institute in the city center, and after pulling up a lot of quantum transmission instruments, they went straight to the Nili Observatory, which houses the world's most advanced array radio telescope.
According to the space coordinates provided by Quan Entai, the array radio telescope quickly locked the Black Knight.
René started the quantum transmission instrument, which is a quantum entanglement information interaction system composed of a quantum emitter composed of Higgs bosons and a quantum analyzer composed of fermions, plus Gaussian Bose sampling.
Rene's system currently only supports the maximum space information interaction distance between the earth and the moon, and the capacity of transmitting information is only 3 KB, but it is enough for the Black Knight in Earth orbit.
Rene activated the button, and the quantum entanglement information interaction system started working...
"Where are you from?" The system sent the first voice message to the Black Knight.
Soon, the voice message from the Black Knight was translated: "We come from the ε star of Boötes---Tiber star of Genhehe."
"What happened there?" Rene asked curiously, and then sent the voice message.
"Our technology has put our civilization into trouble." The other party's voice sounded low and gloomy.
"What is your purpose of launching a probe to the earth?"
"Your earth is so perfect. It is like a wonderful paradise in the vast universe. You should not have such a unique environment." The other party's voice message was full of longing and longing.
"Do you want to destroy us?"
"We will not destroy this paradise, it will be our new home."
Quan Entai looked in horror at the location of the Black Knight in the dark sky. His face was pale and dull, and his eyes were stagnant for a long time.
Suddenly, the "Didi Didi" alarm sounded, and the system reminded Rene that there was only 0.02 KB of transmission capacity left, so he quickly sent the last message.
"I, Verhenk Rene, am willing to be your flag bearer for occupying the earth!"
