Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 346 Science and Magic

"You want to build a passage to the outside world, and you want to complete it within five days?"

When Norton left the meeting room reluctantly, Eisenberg-Adler was the first to stand up and raise questions. In his opinion, this was an idea proposed by a complete layman.

The following content is even more outrageous, because in Duan Mingyuan's conception, the digital world will become a large transit station, just like the Internet, it can connect any corner of the universe. People can come to the digital world through the "Internet", and then appear in a place more than ten light years away as if using a magic door.

This is just like the idea in a third-rate science fiction novel. There is no need to follow any physical laws. Just by thinking hard, you can design some new technologies that cannot be explained by science at all.

But this is the real world, and anyone with even a basic understanding knows that this is simply not possible.

"Sergeant, do you want him to shut up first?"

Without waiting for Duan Mingyuan to speak, No. 37 frowned first and asked Duan Mingyuan.

At the same time, she actually took out a ball gag in her hand.

No. 37 is the captain of this ghost team. The reason why she was invited to attend this meeting is because of her identity as a semi-mechanical cyborg.

Their brain-computer interface gives them the same capabilities as artificial intelligence. They can establish links anytime and anywhere and understand the information each other wants to convey without deviation.

But Duan Mingyuan didn't ask her to bring the ball gag, and he had no idea why No. 37 had such a thing on him.

"Don't be impulsive. This is just a calm academic discussion. It's normal for Dr. Eisenberg to have his theories and opinions."

Hearing this, No. 37 glared at Eisenburg dangerously and put away the ball gag.

It is not difficult to tell from her skillful movements that she seems to have used this prop frequently in previous tasks.

"It's a complete waste of time to discuss this kind of issue with laymen."

Eisenberg had no intention of giving face to anyone because he had experienced such scenes countless times.

It is hopeless for some people who think they have mastered a certain theory to be told through scientific theories why their imaginations cannot be realized.

At this time, they will bring up people from ancient times and use them as examples to refute that people thousands of years ago could not have imagined that someone would be able to travel into space in the future.

Eisenberg also found that these people often have a common characteristic, that is, when they don’t understand the theory you are talking about, they will instead develop an inexplicable self-confidence, firmly believing that they are right and you are wrong.

This is also the reason why Eisenberg did not stay in college like his mentor, because he realized that it was really difficult for humans to communicate with Paramecium.

Everything you say is just fantasy to them, and they only care about whether you can help them make grass out of thin air.

In Eisenburg's eyes, Duan Mingyuan, who could say such words, was no different from those paramecium.

It should be a large, wild, and particularly powerful subspecies of Paramecium.

"If you're talking about the means to leave the digital world, Morgan VII spends tens of billions of dollars every year to hire the top scholars in this field to study this issue. The conclusion is that the bridge between the real world and the digital world cannot be built for at least fifty years."

And this only allows Morgan VII to leave the digital world and return to reality, and does not include the technology of "transit station" and "folding gate" mentioned by Duan Mingyuan.

"But as far as I know, the technology for the warp gate has already been realized."

Duan Mingyuan said that not long ago, he and Coyote Twelve experienced the folding gate project together.

Currently, this technology is mostly used in the military, especially in the field of boarding warfare. Mocking Dove and Eastern Frontier relied on their unique warping technology to be invincible in interstellar wars. "It can only achieve short-distance warping, and it is an absolute secret in the company. They have not revealed the inside story of this technology to me."

Eisenburg didn't want to waste any more words on this topic. He just felt that Duan Mingyuan's topic was too ambitious. When they couldn't even build a warp gate, they had already started thinking about how to build the digital world into a transit station.

Every leap forward in human civilization so far has required a flash of inspiration from geniuses.

As a "genius", Eisenberg felt that his contributions were enough, but human time is limited and he had no way to devote his time to more areas.

"I said it last time. The digital world is irreversible. Although the outside world can still contact us, the people here can no longer leave."

"But you are one of the best scientists in the universe. You and your mentor created this space. No one knows its existence better than you."

"That's the difference between a scientist and a magician."

Eisenberg said.

He admitted that perhaps the scene described by Duan Mingyuan could really come true one day in the future, but that was not something that people like them could see.

The vision of geniuses is also limited. They cannot observe things that have not yet been discovered by people and exist beyond the scope of cognition.

And he said he had done enough.

How to leave the digital world may become the research direction of mankind in the next few hundred years.

“That’s why there should be division of labor within a team.”

Duan Mingyuan was very happy that he and Eisenberg had reached a preliminary consensus.

As Eisenberg said, there are limits to human power, and he often believed so.

Eisenberg is undoubtedly one of the smartest geniuses in the universe, but he is also a human being after all, and he will make the same mistakes that everyone else will make, that is, commenting on an industry he does not understand and expressing some immature opinions.

"It seems that you have a big misunderstanding about magicians. Magicians are not a profession that can conjure anything out of thin air with just a snap of the mind. They also need to have corresponding theoretical knowledge."

In order to help Eisenburg understand the matter better, he picked up the mineral water bottle that Norton prepared for each of them.

Although Norton was kicked out, he still helped everyone in the meeting room.

"Dr. Eisenberg, under what circumstances do you think we can turn an empty bottle of spring water into a gold nugget?"

Eisenburg was stunned for a long while before he said, "I heard that there is a technology on Rolling Stone Star that turns waste into treasure. They collect useless waste slag..."

This time he spoke slowly because he had never been to the Rolling Stones and had not seen or understood the technology in person.

However, when he finished the story, Duan Mingyuan had already placed a shining gold nugget in front of them.

"The reason why Morgan VII has not been successful is because there is a problem with the composition of the team members."

Duan Mingyuan said, "Maybe he should invite a magician to help break the deadlock."
