"Salute to all the heroes who are fighting for the future of mankind"
After Wu Wei's work at the headquarters was over, he returned to his research center. Since his research was valued by the headquarters, the venue given to him was very good; their research center is located near the launch site, because their current The main research direction is about the collection of 'sources' in space, so the headquarters has invested a lot in their research, but until now, they have not been able to produce any tangible results.
The members of the research team were arguing over an issue at this time; some of them believed that the collector should be driven by a human, so that extremely pure source stones could be collected accurately; but some people thought that an unmanned system should be used. The reason they put forward for the way of driving is that they are not yet clear about the effect of the 'source' on humans and whether it will be harmful to the human body. This suspicion is unreasonable. All unknowns may contain various dangers.
They had successfully launched a detector a month ago to explore the area where the 'source' existed, allowing Wu Wei and the others to learn about the situation in that area. As for that area, it was From a distance, they look like clouds on the earth, floating in the sky one by one. If you look closer, you will find that the middle of them looks very bright, and only becomes slightly dim when they reach the edges. Because they didn't know what they were made of, they used spectrometers to measure their formulas, but the results surprised everyone. The results they got were either no results at all, or everything existed. , as if there were any elements in it, which puzzled them.
Such a result can only explain one problem, that is, it is composed of any elements that do not belong to the universe, or is composed of all elements in the universe. It can be seen from the results of the spectral test that there is no element in the universe. The proportion of elements is high; the results are very contradictory, so for their research, it does not have any enlightenment effect, and it seems like they have worked in vain.
That's why they started arguing, launching the detector up again to collect the Source Stone, and bring back a piece for research; because matter in the distance will always be destroyed by some unknown entity due to distance. Factors cause interference; because of these, there are quarrels between two viewpoints.
But in Wu Wei's view, these quarrels should not be what needs to be paid attention to now. He believes that now they need to establish a platform in space to be used as a transit venue. This platform can also have more functions. , As for what the function should be, this still needs to be discussed by everyone; so after returning to the institute, a regular meeting was organized.
The researchers who were divided into two groups at the regular meeting because of the collector started arguing as soon as they entered the venue; but were interrupted by Wu Wei and said: "Everyone sitting here, if you think the issue you are arguing about is meaningful, then Please continue, because as far as I know, humans don’t have much time to spend on internal fighting; if it makes sense, then continue to quarrel.”
After hearing Wu Wei's words, everyone stopped; everyone at the regular meeting actually knew that their research had not made much progress, and they seemed to be losing the direction of their research; because everyone knew that even if that How can the Source Stone be used after being collected from space? It seems that it is of no use when brought back. Therefore, some of the researchers present are inclined to what the foreigner named Jack said, and they should not stay on Earth. To die, humans should flee.
After seeing everyone quiet down, Wu Wei said: "I just came back from the headquarters. I believe everyone has already understood what happened. I want to hear everyone's opinions."
"I think the man named Ren Cheng is a magic stick. He was able to rescue Li Ming probably because of his good luck. Have you ever thought about the problem that Li Ming has been in a coma for a month? During this month, the doctors at the headquarters took care of him, which was not like ordinary people. Just when Li Ming was about to wake up, he showed us the results of their research. Everything was fake, a magic stick. How can there be tangible research results?" After hearing Wu Wei's words, a man leaned on his chair and started talking. His words were full of disdain for Ren Cheng.
After hearing what the man said, Wu Wei nodded, and then asked, "Does anyone have a different opinion?"
At this time, a person raised his hand. Wu Wei nodded to the person who raised his hand and agreed to let him speak. He only heard him say: "I think Ren Cheng's research results are worth learning from. Their current research The results actually brought us a research direction, which is the use of 'source'; I remember when we received the information about the herders, they said that this kind of thing is not suitable for the so-called gods. , is a necessity, so since it is useful to them, it is also useful to us. I remember that this issue was also the direction of our research at the beginning, and we also discussed it for a period of time. I don’t know what, our There are some people who think that studying "sources" is useless, and they are spreading escape theories, and they are also pointing out other people's research results. What I want to know now is, when you point out that others are unscientific, do you have any I have never thought about whether his research has any useful content for human beings? A collector can trigger constant discussions between two groups of people. I think you are not doing more research, but procrastinating and doing nothing. , and then wait for the final failure before fleeing, right?" After he finished speaking, the man who was leaning on the chair stood up angrily, looked at the man who had just spoken, and said, "Who are you mocking? ? Why don’t you think about what you are talking about? I don’t know if you have ever thought about whether the research we are doing here will be useful in the future; but at least now it seems that it is 100% useless. , so what if we collect the 'source'? Even if someone can really use the 'source' to save lives, what's the use? Finally, in the end, as long as those gods come, what ability do we have to fight with them? What about confrontation? Rather than surrendering, our current research results have become the final value we provide to God. I would rather flee than do anything useful for 'them' for a long time."
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. At this time, someone said again: "Since we are going to escape, where can we escape to?"
"The universe is so big, there must be a place suitable for us to live."
"How can you be sure that besides the earth, there are other planets in the universe that indicate our survival? Is it because the universe is so big?"
"Even if it's one in a billion, there will still be tens of thousands of planets."
"Even if you are right, the universe is so big and there may be tens of thousands of suitable planets. How can you find it? And can you confirm that it is really suitable for our survival."
"Didn't we know this in the past?"
"Your statement makes sense, but have you ever thought about a question, that is, how do we get there and how long does it take for our spacecraft to reach it? As far as I know, I read a book about many things at the beginning of the last century. People’s favorite novels say that there is a civilized planet in the galaxy closest to us. It takes 40 Earth years to reach the earth from them, but their aircraft can reach one-tenth the speed of light. This What is the reason? Because one-tenth of the speed of light is the highest speed it can reach. There is a process of acceleration and deceleration, and it will take forty years. So, can our aircraft achieve this speed? Even if it can How long will it take to reach the planet you think is a suitable planet? Have you made any preparations?"
"You don't have to have these things to scare us, we're prepared."
"Don't you realize that we don't have many good options now except for a last-ditch fight? Escape is only a means, but it cannot be our real future; because even if we retain the fire, we will still be there. It’s hard to survive in the universe.”
