Give the universe a little earth shock

Chapter 5 Below the speed of light, everyone is a prisoner
"In science, the most important thing is to ask the right questions."

In the glass room office, Mr. Wu pulled down the blinds, swept the books on the tea table with his hands, took out two cartoon mugs, and filled them with hot water.

"The problem represents the direction. If the direction is right, there will be a road. Do you know what the problem just means?"

Mr. Wu pushed the mug in front of Li Kaiyang and sat down on the sofa relaxedly.

"Suggests a new direction?"

"It doesn't count, but it's coming soon. Your question has illuminated the fog ahead. If you continue to explore like this, a brand new signpost will be erected at the crossroads of mechanics soon."

"Different from the time when the sages first glimpsed physics hundreds of years ago, today's physics has gone a long way on the road of subdivision, like a headless fly slamming into the horns, so the gold content of these three questions, The old academician blew on the mist in the cup and said seriously, "It's very heavy."

"That's why I'm asking you. If you pick up the wisdom of others, then you will definitely not be able to write the next steps. But now, old man, I sincerely invite you, Comrade Li Kaiyang, to come to me. The current academic world needs inspiration."

Li Kaiyang did not expect that his question could bring such a big change to the old academician. This is the academic center in East China, so he was naturally happy to come, but his attainment in physics is too low, he is just a lucky guy. It's just ordinary people, there will be someone more suitable for this place than me.

Mr. Wu understood the meaning from his expression, but the old man was not surprised at all, "I understand your concerns, it's okay, we all have a common goal, to throw that thing in the UN building out of the earth, I You may not be able to wait until that day, but I believe you will be able to."

That thing refers to the warning monument.

Li Kaiyang suddenly remembered that there was a piece of news four or five years ago about the fact that Mr. Wu and his party from the National Academy of Sciences went to the United Nations Headquarters to study the warning monument. Now that the other party mentioned it, he couldn't help asking, "Mr. Wu, can you say Say, what did you see on the warning monument? Is it really like the media said, there is a countdown on it?"

Mr. Wu leaned on his crutches with both hands, his face showing nostalgia, "Do you really want to know?"

"think."

"I remember that the place where 24 is located is not far from here, Hulishan Fort?" What do you think when there is an enemy aircraft carrier floating on top of you?"

"Well, I will probably try to fire a shot first to test the difference."

Li Kaiyang said lightly with dead fish eyes on his face.

Mr. Wu laughed, "Go to the penultimate drawer, entangle wedge reconstruction and information paradox in the literature, and take out my tea leaves."

Li Kaiyang crossed the mountain of books and found this document published 80 years ago at the bottom of the drawer. When he opened it, two small bags of vacuum-packed tea fell out.

"This is a good thing." The old academician tore open the packaging bag familiarly, and a refreshing tea fragrance instantly wafted into the room. Now the old man is like a child showing off his treasure to his friends, and praised, "I have hidden it for many years. I wanted to find a suitable opportunity to drink it, but I couldn’t wait, but it should be almost there now.”

"Extreme Dahongpao, picked from the Nine Dragons Nest Tree, so much has been produced in 15 years."

This is a treasure that is really worth a thousand dollars. As early as 90 years ago, at the beginning of the 21st century, the mother trees of Dahongpao in Wuyi Mountain stopped picking. Even before the harvesting stopped, the six mother trees could only produce [-] grams of tea per year. Mr. Wu The two small packets of my mother's bag add up to more than ten grams.

The dark red tea leaves soaked into the hot water of the cartoon mug, and the orange tea soup quickly dissipated. The unique rock flavor of Wuyi Mountain seemed to bring nature into this office. Mr. Wu picked up the cup and took a few sips. Satisfied, "The only disadvantage of expensive things is that they are expensive."

Li Kaiyang swallowed a mouthful of tea soup like a peony chewing, and said, "Wuyi Mountain is almost being hollowed out."

"Don't talk about such disappointing things," Mr. Wu put down his glass and said, "Let's talk about business. When I came back from the United Nations headquarters five years ago, people who came to ask me about the warning monument have never stopped. There are high-ranking officials, scholars, and relatives. I never said that."

"Because they all lack courage, the courage to face reality."

"The warning monument is like a mirror. Different people can see different things. Among the [-] scholars who accompanied me, some saw the future, some saw destruction, some saw madness, and I saw a line. "

"Wire?"

"A scientific boundary for human beings."

"Below the speed of light, everyone is a prisoner." Li Kaiyang remembered a classic sentence.

"Basically, the warning monument is like a jailer, supervising you, me, and him. Once human beings cross the delineated line, it will clean up the earth in its own way."

"It sounds like a large sweeping robot," Li Kaiyang imagined, and the logic of the so-called distant alien technology is not so unpredictable.

"So, Comrade Li, do you still want to fire that cannonball now? Every step we scientists make is a death knell hammer."

"I heard the Tao in the morning, and I can die in the evening," Li Kaiyang jumped up a sentence in classical Chinese, "Mr. Wu, I just want to know, is that line close to us?"

"It's very close. According to the calculation method I studied, if there is another thump, humans will cross this line, but we still don't know if there is a way to break through the difficulty."

The two chattered about engineering for a while. From the perspective of theoretical physics, Mr. Wu helped Li Kaiyang develop a lot of unique vision. Only then did Assistant Wu's meeting reminder interrupt their conversation.

Before saying goodbye, Elder Wu took out a wooden box from the drawer and stopped Li Kaiyang, "Xiao Li, let me ask you, what would you do if the warning monument was in front of you now?"

Li Kaiyang didn't hesitate to think, "I'll use a screwdriver to pry it up to see if it's really so tight."

Wu Lao was amused, and lightly pressed the wooden box on Li Kaiyang's chest, "I did the same thing. It frightened the group of foreigners at the time. Facts have proved that it is not without loopholes. One bead was handed over to the United Nations, and the other was hidden by me, and now I give it to you, I hope you can shove it into the ass of an alien one day."

Li Kaiyang was stunned for a moment, and thought that Mr. Wu, an academician of the National Academy of Sciences, was really different, no different from the old men on the street, and even a little more wild, not like a scholar, but like a soldier, a soldier full of bandits.

Elder Wu continued, "Remember, 24 hours, if you have any questions, you can ask me anytime, no matter how late."

Li Kaiyang listened to the simple words of the old academician, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, his eyes that seemed to be indifferent to everything lit up, "It will definitely."

three hours later.

Chen Xingan returned to his work station, staring at the drawings on the table in a daze.

I vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this high-thrust engine drawing, but I couldn't find it.

What made her even more puzzled was that she was clearly a theoretical physicist, why did Mr. Wu let her design the engine for engineering?

She rested her forehead with one hand, building a motion model in her mind, and suddenly, she saw the wood-colored paper exposed under the blue blueprint.

A simple model is drawn on it, and it is marked with a label
!

Just like a patient with nasal congestion suddenly has all his nostrils open, all problems are solved at the moment when he sees the mark!

As soon as Chen Xingan patted the table, he grabbed the blueprint and ran into Mr. Wu's office.
