With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 531 The Buried Paper
Looking at Xu Mingqi, who looked a little nervous but still insisted, Wang Jing shook her head helplessly.

She first turned her head and glanced at the holographic star map beside her. After seeing the battle situation, she felt a little relieved. From the moment the regular battlefield was formed and the giant scorpion leader died, the situation of the battle took a drastic turn. During the time the two were talking, the Apophis giant scorpion had suffered more than 10% casualties.

"Since you insist, I'll take the time to ask for you."

Wang Jing raised her hand and swiped across the holographic interface in front of her, initiating a communication request to Song Ziliang who was far away in the main universe.

With almost no waiting time, this ultra-long-distance, cross-universe communication was connected.

Song Ziliang's voice came from the communication channel: "Academician Wang, you are looking for me?"

Looking at the gradually emerging figure on the screen and the familiar office background behind, Wang Jing raised her eyebrows slightly.

"When will you return to the Dangerous Technology Administration?"

"Hmm?" Faced with this sudden question, Song Ziliang was slightly stunned, scratched his head subconsciously and responded, "Two days ago, the Academy of Sciences announced that it had entered a state of emergency. Professor Lin asked me to return to the Administration as soon as possible to do a good job of connecting with Chen Fan..."

"and many more……"

Song Ziliang suddenly came back to his senses and asked anxiously, "How is the situation over there? Can the peacekeeping fleet still hold on?"

"And... Academician Wang, have you and Chen Fan evacuated?"

"Nothing wrong?"

"Well, we haven't retreated yet. There's a small problem right now."

Wang Jing waved her hand casually: "But this is not the point."

Song Ziliang's eyes suddenly widened.

What the hell?

Not only did the research ship fail to withdraw, it also encountered some minor problems?

Isn’t this the point???
At this moment, Song Ziliang felt his brain go blank, and then a series of horrifying images began to emerge in his mind.

The fleet is annihilated, giant scorpions invade, life-or-death crisis...

A few words flashed through his mind quickly, and Song Ziliang's face turned pale.

"Fuck!"

He stood up from his seat abruptly, and at the same time frantically called up a holographic communication interface, "Academician Wang, please hold on a little longer, I will contact the Academy of Sciences and the support fleet..."

At the same time, Wang Jing also spoke up: "Let's not talk about this for now, let's get down to business. Have you ever published a paper on the problem of chimeras and the uniformity of hyperspace membranes?"

"……what?"

Song Ziliang's right hand, which was moving rapidly on the holographic interface, suddenly stopped, and the previous hurried voice also stopped at this moment.

"Academician Wang?"

He blinked and looked at Wang Jing in the communication interface with a blank face: "What did you just say?"

“Thesis.”

Wang Jing glanced at Song Ziliang in surprise: "Forgot?"

"Wait a minute, I'll read it to you."

"The hyperspace membrane is not uniform. This is a conjecture based on the observations of some regular-space chimeras..."

Looking at Wang Jing reading the title of the paper in a serious manner, Song Ziliang felt completely dumbfounded.

What the hell time is it, and Wang Jing still has the mind to ask him about his thesis?
Is this the calmness that is unique to Level I Academicians?
Perhaps seeing Song Ziliang's astonishment, Wang Jing stopped reading her paper and said, "Don't worry, there is no big problem with the battle. Apophis seems to have some minor problems with its body. The peacekeeping fleet still has the advantage."

"I guess the Academy of Sciences has already received the detailed battle report. You can ask Lin Yang."

Song Ziliang heaved a sigh of relief, and some color returned to his pale face: "That's good, that's good..."

“So this paper…”

"...I did write it." Song Ziliang subconsciously looked away. "But this is a useless paper I published when I was a researcher. Even if there is a problem with it, you wouldn't bring it up now, right?"

Wang Jing's eyes twitched slightly.

"Waste paper?"

"So this thing is really what you use to embellish your resume?"

"Yeah..." Song Ziliang murmured, his voice getting softer and softer, "Isn't this a conventional routine? I see other researchers do the same..."

"The observational data in the paper..."

Wang Jing seemed to realize something, her expression suddenly became ugly, and her voice became louder: "Boy, do you know that data falsification is a taboo in the Academy of Sciences?"

"I think your career as an academician has come to an end!"

Song Ziliang's face turned pale and he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no!"

"Academician Wang, please don't talk nonsense. With zero supervision, who can fake this?"

"Besides, I don't have the courage..."

Looking at Song Ziliang's anxious face and hasty explanations, Wang Jing was stunned and frowned.

Song Ziliang is right.

In the entire Academy of Sciences, is there anyone else who has the ability to falsify data under Zero's nose?
"But the abnormal data recorded in the paper..."

"That's exactly what I observed." Song Ziliang's tone slowed down a little. "At that time, the Human Union had just explored a new territory on the hyperspace membrane, and I just needed a paper to complete the annual quota, so I went to that territory to conduct a basic chimera observation and comparison experiment."

"who knows……"

"The data measured by the instrument deviated from the baseline by 20%!"

"Instrument failure?" Wang Jing asked subconsciously.

"No." Song Ziliang shook his head. "At first I thought it was an instrument failure, so I quickly activated the second set of backup observation instruments."

"Academician Wang, you should know that we usually prepare two sets of instruments when we go to the hyperspace membrane area for observation."

Seeing Wang Jing nod, Song Ziliang continued: "As a result, the second set of instruments gave the same answer."

“What excited me at that time…”

"I thought they had discovered something special that the Academy of Sciences hadn't discovered, but this is a major discovery at the academician level!"

Wang Jing burst out laughing.

That's indeed what happened.

If this thing were true, I'm afraid the entire Academy of Sciences would be trembling with fear.

"I didn't think much about it at the time, I just quickly integrated the data and wrote a paper on the spur of the moment."

"Then..." Song Ziliang shrugged. "Professor Lin saw the paper first. Without saying anything, he drove the research ship over directly."

Now it was Wang Jing's turn to be surprised: "That old man Lin Yang also knows about this?"

"Then why haven't I seen this paper in the Academy of Sciences?"

"Hey..."

Song Ziliang looked helpless: "I don't know what happened. When the instructor's research ship arrived at the hyperspace membrane, the phenomenon disappeared inexplicably." "The deviation of those rule-space chimeras has returned to within 0.01, and there is not much difference between them and the surrounding hyperspace membrane."

"Instructor Lin spent a lot of time on this, doing comprehensive sample testing and repeating observation steps."

"Right." Song Ziliang's eyes suddenly lit up, "At that time, he even repeated all the operations I performed during the experiment, including... eating spicy noodles."

"He said that scientific research is all about metaphysics."

"Sometimes the machine spirit is unhappy, and it will never produce the result you want."

"Maybe those two testing instruments like the taste of spicy strips."

Wang Jing was stunned: "..."

It has to be admitted that this paper is really explosive, as it can force a senior and experienced Level I academician to this extent.

"Anyway."

Song Ziliang sighed helplessly, "Teacher Lin and I have been trying for a long time, but we still can't get the same results as before."

"If the test data had not been kept in the ship's main computer, I'm afraid my instructor would have suspected me of fraud."

"For this reason, the paper was not published publicly at the time, but was simply uploaded to a database at random, and was even labeled as having questionable conclusions."

Wang Jing suddenly understood.

Data that cannot be repeatedly tested is not reliable in itself, and the conclusions drawn from it are naturally not reliable either.

No wonder the test results did not attract the attention of the Academy of Sciences at the time.

However, by chance, due to Song Ziliang's promotion to academician, this paper, which should have been buried deep in the database, was once again turned out.

"So..." Song Ziliang calmed down and asked Wang Jing who was lost in thought, "What happened to the anti-universe? Why did they suddenly find my paper?"

"The Genesis Fortress has established a regular battlefield, and the situation of the Apophis Scorpion has changed beyond our expectations."

"Xiao Xu... Academician Xu Mingqi believes that this may be related to the giant scorpion's inability to adapt to changes in the rules." Wang Jing responded casually, "Taking into account the various abnormal phenomena when the giant scorpion entered this universe, Xu Mingqi suspects that the universe bubble where the giant scorpion is located and the universe bubble in the human union territory may have great differences in basic rules."

Listening to Wang Jing's words, Song Ziliang's eyes became brighter and brighter: "So, the hyperspace membrane is not uniform. This conclusion is very likely to be true?"

"I knew it!"

He waved his fist excitedly: "Academician Wang, to be honest, I have always had a guess."

"The abnormal phenomenon that appeared in that hyperspace membrane must have hidden secrets. Maybe it is related to the nature of the hyperspace membrane!"

This time, Wang Jing did not directly deny Song Ziliang's statement.

The real example is right before our eyes.

No matter how skeptical you are, you should at least weigh the weight of the evidence.

"It's hard to say...it really is related."

Wang Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "I will submit your paper directly to Chief Lu."

"Next, you may have to find some time to bring some academicians with relevant expertise to take a closer look at that hyperspace membrane area."

……

The communications link was severed.

The news brought by Wang Jing obviously brought Song Ziliang a big surprise.

——As the first discoverer of this phenomenon, even if Song Ziliang does nothing else, part of the credit for this research will fall on him.

Especially this major discovery is enough to overturn the current theories and cognition of human beings.

In a sense, just relying on this inconspicuous paper, Song Ziliang can go down in history!
"This kid..."

Wang Jing raised her hand to close the holographic interface in front of her, and a fleeting feeling of envy flashed through her heart: "What good luck."

First there was this paper that was published by mistake, and then there was Chen Fan, an investigator who was second to none in the entire human race...

What does it mean to win without doing anything?

This is the real winning without any effort!

"Academician Wang." Xu Mingqi's voice was also mixed with a little excitement. "From this point of view, rule technology may really be the nemesis of those giant scorpions!"

Wang Jing came back to his senses, thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "Notify Genesis Fortress to increase the deviation of the rules in the rule battlefield as much as possible."

"I want to test the Apophis Scorpion's tolerance for rules."

……

hum...

The moment the order was issued, the output mode of Genesis Fortress changed silently.

The density of [Strings] began to increase, but the coverage area shrank - increasing the deviation from the rules means more computing resources and energy. Without various supporting facilities and external plug-ins, the power of the one-light-year-level Genesis Fortress is ultimately limited.

Watching the virtual outline of the regular battlefield in the holographic star map gradually shrink, a trace of regret flashed in Wang Jing's eyes.

It would be better if the specifications of Genesis Fortress were a little bigger, or if it was equipped with matching external plug-ins.

It can only be said that man’s calculation is not as good as God’s calculation.

When the Z619 peacekeeping fleet just set out, Wang Jing even felt that it was a bit too extravagant for a peacekeeping fleet to be equipped with a Genesis Fortress. After all, the opponent was just a group of "local giant scorpions" with the strength of an eighth-level civilization.

Even without the Genesis Fortress, the standard level nine peacekeeping fleet would be enough to annihilate all of these native giant scorpions.

result……

Who knows that these native giant scorpions are just some insignificant "chess pieces" and the real big guys are these Apophis giant scorpions with level nine combat power!

The adjusted [String] storm quietly took shape in the starry sky and swept towards the regular battlefield in the distance.

On the battlefield, the silver-white flagship fortress was recklessly chasing after an Apophis giant scorpion that was trying hard to escape - in the light of macro-electronic bombs and zero-point rays, this spherical battleship, which was only the size of an enemy's claw, was releasing overwhelming gravitational fluctuations. Amidst the flashes of silver-white and golden light, the body of the Apophis giant scorpion that was listed as a pursuit target was dismembered one by one.

In addition to the flagship fortress, the attack team composed of main battleships also launched attacks on the designated targets one by one under the leadership of the Titan mothership.

Although its efficiency is far less than that of the flagship fortress, it has also achieved a one-sided advantage.

Wow! !

The reconstructed [String] storm finally crossed the starry sky and "blew" onto the battlefield.

At this moment, the rules on the battlefield fluctuated violently as if they had taken stimulants - if the previous average rule deviation was only 5, then the current rule deviation has directly soared by a full double to a level of 10!
A sudden change occurred!

Roar! ! !
The Apophis giant scorpion, exhausted from being hunted down by the flagship fortress, paused, raised its head and let out a silent roar.

Amidst the roar, the giant scorpion's already broken body began to disintegrate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It's just like……

Those "gray fish" that died in their attempt to escape the event horizon of the central black hole.

Sorry for the slightly late update today.
