"So there is never any quiet time, but there are people who are carrying the burden forward for us!"
This sentence has been the most popular sentence on the Internet in the past few days, and every well-known platform has directly pushed this sentence to the top of the hot search.
Just three days ago, without the knowledge of almost the vast majority of the people, mankind was once again facing the end of extinction, and this time the end of extinction was unavoidable. Only after a few words leaked from some internal channels did everyone realize Knowing that they only had five minutes left before being completely destroyed.
The death toll in this catastrophe was 64,822.
Three hundred and seventeen dead heroic spirits.
The entire Hall of Heroes was almost empty, with less than a hundred heroic spirits left, and all the military heroes in it were dead!
This is a march towards despair and death. When the cut clips of the sacrifices of some soldiers' heroes were played, the entire human society was shocked. Some even planned to hold commemorative parades and other activities, and then were immediately Lu Yuanming called a halt urgently, and at the same time temporarily assigned more tasks to those who wanted to participate in the parade, allowing them to experience the joy of working at least twelve hours a day for at least three days.
"Their sacrifices were not in exchange for this staged parade!!"
Lu Yuanming rarely lost his temper at the meeting.
Over the past three days, his temper has become very irritable. If the labor bill had not been confirmed and implemented, the government would not be able to change the order overnight unless it encountered a special emergency. He is determined to let everyone return to the fullness of intensive labor. in life.
It was not until today that the military proposed a family burial proposal that Lu Yuanming's manic mood and irritable mood finally calmed down a little.
“…We have united together regardless of civilization, country, or skin color, so there is no longer any state funeral, nor any other religious ceremony. But this kind of funeral is not so much about commemorating the heroes who have died. , rather it is to pass on their spirits to the living. This is the will of our human race, so the military’s proposal is to hold a family funeral, a farewell funeral that belongs to our human race!” a military spokesman said in Taiwan expressed the content of its proposal.
This did not even require Lu Yuanming to speak. Almost everyone present voted in favor, and then immediately finalized various arrangements, time, personnel, venue... and other issues for the family funeral at the meeting.
This is the best news Lu Yuanming has heard in the past three days.
That night, Lu Yuanming rarely studied or did any cognitive training. Instead, he quietly browsed the Internet, looking at the intercepted scenes of heroic sacrifices, and then tried hard to remember each person's appearance, and each person's face. The expressions on each face.
The situation was extremely urgent at that time, and all he could think of was moving forward, constantly sprinting forward. Now that he calmed down and slowly recalled it, he suddenly remembered how cruel he was at that time...forcibly treating these heroic spirits as his guide for moving forward. Consumables, he almost stepped on their corpses before he came into contact with the disaster itself.
While browsing the Internet aimlessly, Lu Yuanming suddenly saw Juehuo's profile picture light up in his friend group.
"Still not asleep?" Juehuo asked.
"...I can't sleep a little. Looking at those heroic spirits who sacrificed their lives, I feel panicked in my heart." Lu Yuanming replied.
"Who says it's not?" Juehuo was silent for a while after saying this, and seemed to be in a bad mood.
Many thoughts suddenly came to Lu Yuanming's mind, and he typed on the keyboard eagerly: "Juehuo, do you think...the decider is using them, those heroic spirits, as stepping stones?"
"What do you mean? Tell me clearly, otherwise I will be angry." Juehuo replied immediately.
Lu Yuanming could keenly feel the real anger in Jue Huo's words, and he immediately said: "I just feel so confused. They can become heroic spirits, which means they have sacrificed their lives for everyone once. But at this time...it is clear that coming out of the Hall of Heroes means death, and they are all dead within a second or two. Why do they have to rush forward and come out later? Why does the decision maker let them come out so cold-bloodedly?"
"Because we are up there!" Juehuo barely had time to think before his words appeared in front of Lu Yuanming's eyes.
"Are you stupid? You still question such a simple question? Because we are up there! Remember those movies we watched in the past? Why can the soldiers in the movie Stalingrad run straight into the sea of fire? Even if you are afraid that you will be burned to ashes? Why can the soldiers in the movie Changjin Lake be able to move forward in the ice and snow, and even some people are still on guard after being frozen into ice sculptures for life!? Didn’t we all say it at the time? This is so rare in human history There are two powerful armies, the armies of fire and ice, just because we are behind them, because they have their beliefs and relatives behind them, you don’t even understand this!?”
(…No, I understand, it’s just that I’m involved in it.)
Lu Yuanming typed sincerely: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. Thank you for your help."
Juehuo made a few smiling expressions and said: "Don't say such reckless things next time. Do you think the decision maker felt better at that time? He is also a human being, but he has to bear the behavior of the heroic spirit to die, and his behavior It is also to protect us, so compared to those heroic spirits who can be honored, he is truly pitiable."
(No...I'm okay, it's okay, I'm okay.)
Lu Yuanming had a dreamless night. In the next few days, he paid close attention to the family funeral. At the same time, he also participated in the scientists' research on turning gears.
This peculiar object is named the Flip Gear, actually named after the image and effect.
Scientists know nothing about this object, neither its material nor its flipping mechanism, nor its source of energy.
It is just such a small gear that can be clamped between two fingers. There is no subtlety in its internal structure at all. Moreover, such a small structure can expand the range of influence almost unlimitedly, and can cause completely incomprehensible flipping effects. For example, the fusion of iron elements they saw with their own eyes, or the deeper transformation of metal into plasma, etc. This is not counting the conceptual reversal that Lu Yuanming experienced personally. If this was mentioned, I am afraid that scientists would go crazy. Dropped half of it.
A large part of the basis of science lies in conservation, conservation of energy, conservation of mass, conservation of angular momentum... everything.
This can actually be put into another sentence, science is some kind of equivalent exchange.
The higher the level of science and technology, the higher the level and more powerful energy source must be used.
There were many similar jokes in the Earth Age before, such as how high-quality coal must be used to launch rockets, and it is best to wash coal with water. This is actually a kind of ridicule and joke.
The history of the development of science is actually the history of more efficient use of energy. It is also the history of discovering new energy sources and achieving energy progress.
For example, before finding room-temperature superconductors on Mars and thus obtaining a stable hydrogen fusion reactor, humankind was at most a civilization of around level 0.7. It was not until a stable hydrogen fusion reactor was obtained that humankind had half a foot in the first-level cosmic civilization. After that, various other technologies must be upgraded to a level that matches the energy source of the hydrogen fusion reactor, and then human beings can be considered a true first-class cosmic civilization.
According to scientists' speculation, if human beings want to move towards a second-level cosmic civilization, that is, they must master the technology of near-light or super-light curvature navigation, then hydrogen fusion reactors alone are not enough. Maybe humans really have to build something like a Dyson sphere. The same giant structure must find a way to collect enough energy from the star itself. Only then can it be possible to research and apply curvature navigation technology.
In one sentence, the source and amount of energy used determine the scientific level of civilization.
A creation like a flipping gear that can penetrate deep into the level of physical rules. If it is a scientifically made instrument, the energy it consumes may not even be able to supply a complete Dyson sphere. In that flipping, scientists have found at least seven or eight kinds of related information. Spatial, about the changes in the properties of microscopic particles, and about the flipping effects of changes in macroscopic physical rules. Although the scope is not large, to achieve these effects, the energy required is terrifyingly huge!
Such a small piece of gear creation has been scanned with the highest precision microscopes and various rays, and it has been confirmed that its material and internal microstructure do not have a sufficiently fine microstructure. This is just a very ordinary-looking metal gear of unknown material, so it Where does the energy come from?
Therefore, scientists are completely confused. They not only suspect that this gear is the creation of some unimaginable cosmic civilization, or even a cross-universe civilization, but they also doubt whether this thing really has anything to do with science.
No matter what, if you can't study it, you can't study it. You can't study all aspects from material, structure, to scientific principles. If you can't do it, you really can't do it. So scientists can only turn to study its characteristics. Now this thing is It is solidified by colorless light particles, but only consumes less than a hundred colorless light particles every day to stabilize its state.
From the beginning, tens of millions of colorless light particles were required to solidify this gear, and two clear concepts were required to enhance the understanding. But now that it is in a static solidification state, the consumption is greatly reduced. This also reveals an important characteristic of it, that is, the greater the reach of the gear, the stronger its ability to flip and twist. Now that it is frozen and stationary, it does not even have the ability to flip. As long as it remains frozen, this object will not even do any harm. force.
During this period of research on turning gears, the funeral day has arrived.
As the whole people paid their respects, a new monument was erected in the huge square outside the Hall of Valor.
Monument to the heroic spirit of mankind!
