I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 188 The end of science is theology
Jiuzhou safe?

The faces of the eight people present all showed solemn expressions.

They looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.

I originally thought it was some extremely important scientific research, but I didn't expect it to be related to the safety of Jiuzhou.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Feng Yuanshan, and I'm a soldier stationed here. Professors, you can call me whatever you want."

Feng Yuanshan understood that these people in front of him were the top talents in various fields in Jiuzhou, and most of them focused on the academic field.

Facing such a person, he would not put on airs.

What's more, this time they have to rely on these people to help them find the cause, so they should be polite when speaking.

Although he didn't say it, the people present could see it. The person who came to tell them such a thing must be of high status.

"Commander Feng, just tell us what you need us to do."

"Okay, then let me tell you what happened in detail."

Feng Yuanshan smiled slightly and was not angry. Most of these researchers have the same temper.

Especially those who have achieved great success in their respective fields.

Most of my life is spent on scientific research, and I don’t have much energy to learn the ways of the world.

It’s not that they don’t understand, they are just too lazy to waste the time. They would be better off doing more experimental research with that time.

The pursuit of science is their greatest interest.

Just like Huang Jinzhe, he basically spent most of his time in the laboratory and had little communication with his children, which led to Huang Shang's rebellious character since childhood.

"What happened is this: three nights ago, a comrade on duty heard a loud noise."

"Every time, before we arrived at the place, the movement would disappear without a trace, and then appear somewhere else not long after."

"We have discovered many such phenomena in the past three days."

Afterwards, Feng Yuanshan spent nearly an hour recounting everything that had happened in the past few days.

As he spoke, he displayed some recorded evidence on the screen in front of him.

"Look, these are the photos and videos we have taken so far."

"There were footprints on the ground the first few times, but there haven't been any in the last two days."

After hearing this last sentence, everyone understood what it meant.

He wanted to say that these were human footprints.

But whether from satellite monitoring or from exploration of the surrounding area, there are no traces left by humans.

The most important question is, can people really survive such huge destruction?
"Play the videos corresponding to these pictures."

At this time, an old man who looked to be about sixty years old suddenly interrupted Feng Yuanshan's narration.

"it is good."

Feng Yuanshan was not angry, but happy instead.

It turns out that professionals are different.

Huang Jinzhe and Gao Zheng looked at each other at the same time. They actually had the same idea.

These are the pictures that recorded the moment of the explosion.

These videos were sorted out in advance, so it didn't take Feng Yuanshan long to find them.

From the video, we can see that wherever the explosion occurred, there were footprints left.

However, due to the fast speed, the close-up photos taken by the satellite are not very clear.

The only way to ensure clarity is to watch from a farther angle, but then you won't be able to see the scene on the ground accurately.

The only good thing is that it is all in the mountains, so there is not much smoke and dust.

But even so, everyone could only see a series of explosions, which was not very clear at all.

Even though the speed has slowed down a lot.

"Let me do it!"

After a while, another middle-aged man came out.

This person was also the youngest one at the scene, and looked to be only in his thirties.

He is an expert with computers.

With the man's adjustment, the video soon started playing at an extremely slow speed.

Even those areas that seemed blurry were supplemented by him based on the photos.

Now everyone can barely see the images in the video clearly.

"Is this a sonic boom??"

After seeing the scene clearly up close, Huang Jinzhe expressed his guess uncertainly.

Yes, the scene shown in this picture looks very much like the damage caused by a sonic boom.

The only difference is that the range is somewhat larger.

He had seen the phenomena caused by supersonic aircraft before, but they were far from being as exaggerated as this.

"Yes, this is the damage caused by the sonic boom."

"Look at the vortex of air condensing under the path. It's the typical sign of a sonic boom."

Gao Zheng nodded affirmatively.

"I know what you're going to say, but if the speed reaches five times the speed of sound or more, then it can be done."

"???"

What a joke.

There are not many aircraft that can reach high-altitude speeds of more than five times the speed of sound, let alone this is on the ground!
The ground and the sky are completely different concepts.

With the current technology on Earth, it is far from possible to achieve five times the speed of sound on the ground, let alone the speed of sound.

But the scene on the scene showed exactly that.

"Judging from the damage on the ground, the explosion was definitely not caused by explosives."

The oldest geologist at the scene also spoke.

"I went to check this afternoon and there was no trace of gunpowder left."

"Not only that, the ground explosion range is also very well controlled, as if it had been accurately calculated."

Just then, Feng Yuanshan spoke.

"Professors, do you think there is any technology that could cause this phenomenon?"

"Like some kind of robot that can block out electronics?"

When these words were spoken, several knowledgeable people could not help but shook their heads.

In the past, they would have simply not bothered to pay attention to such outrageous speculation.

Only an outsider who knows nothing can say such words.

Do you think this is a science fiction novel?

It really comes right out of the mouth.

but now.
"Do you know what it means to be able to build a robot like this?"

"That means the scientific community has entered a new round of technological revolution. It's no exaggeration to say that it's at least a hundred years ahead of our current level."

"It's like a fully armed adult fighting a child under ten years old."

"If that's the case, Commander Feng, do you think it's necessary to hide it?"

No one refuted this view after it came out.

If such a robot really exists, it can not only block the perception of various electronic devices, but also have this speed.

The destructive power that would cause is simply unimaginable.

What's more, to be able to run at such a fast speed, the body's defense must be terrifying.

Even if this kind of existence has no means of attack, it can still cause a devastating disaster as long as it keeps running.

It won't take long for a city to become a ruin.

The most terrifying thing about this thing is not its speed, but its defense and inability to be captured.

There is almost no possibility of catching it.

Unless you are prepared at all times, the moment it appears, it will raze the area within a radius of dozens of kilometers to the ground.

But this idea is not feasible. No wonder it concerns the safety of Jiuzhou. If this kind of destruction is allowed to spread freely among the people, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Everyone present looked very unhappy.

Although Feng Yuanshan's words were very bold and fanciful.

But they still cannot explain the phenomenon that causes this thing.

Yes, everything that appears in the picture does look like a science fiction movie.

What we saw today was beyond everyone's imagination.

"Captain Feng, does this explosion only occur in uninhabited mountainous areas?"

Feng Yuanshan nodded solemnly. This was the only good news at the moment.

Whatever this thing is, at least it hasn't done anything to harm humans for the time being.

"Yes, it seems to be deliberately avoiding humans. So far, I haven't heard of any casualties due to this phenomenon."

"Every time it appeared, it was very far away from the crowd and disappeared before we could get close to it."

At this point, a hint of doubt appeared on his face.

"It's been a whole day since we last detected this kind of movement, and the next one hasn't appeared yet."

Today he only slept for a short while after noticing the noise. As soon as the afternoon came, he was always on edge, fearing that there would be another explosion somewhere.

But the strange thing is that there is still no report until now.

You have to know that they have mobilized huge manpower and material resources, not only monitoring the entire Shazhou area, but also monitoring the nearby mountainous areas, but still no discoveries were made.

"Not only that, similar places had already appeared elsewhere before we discovered them."

"But the further you go, the more exaggerated the noise becomes."

At the end, Feng Yuanshan couldn't help but make another guess.

"Could it be some kind of natural phenomenon?"

This was something he had previously refuted from others, who originally thought it was nonsense.

The reason I have this idea now is because I heard speculation about this matter from these people.

Today’s technology can’t do it, so it can only be a natural phenomenon!
But the question remains, will natural phenomena choose to deliberately avoid people?
"It's unlikely. There's no natural phenomenon that can do this."

At this time, another person spoke up and shook his head.

"Putting aside whether the damage was caused by a sonic boom, natural phenomena are not so regular or so precise."

"Anyway, from my understanding, this is almost equivalent to a fairy tale."

"Besides, can natural phenomena leave human footprints?"

At the end, he added one more sentence.

"Unless someone can precisely control the occurrence of natural scenes."

"..."

Well, this is a little better than the previous speculation about robots.

I was telling a science fiction story just now, but now it’s more like a story about cultivating immortals.

Both speculations sound unreliable.

"By the way, did you notice when these footprints were made?"

"Could it be that someone behind the scenes did this on purpose?"

Feng Yuanshan shook his head.

"No, we moved very quickly and found footprints on the ground as soon as we arrived."

"That's why I said it might be some kind of robot."

Although he didn't understand, his speculation was not without reason. It was just that his idea was a little too fanciful.

"Commander Feng, please arrange for us to visit a few more sites tomorrow!"

It's already very late, so it's impossible to check the situation accurately. We can only go tomorrow.

"on site?"

Feng Yuanshan was a little hesitant. These were all top scientists. What if something happened when they went to the scene?
Although it seems that the location where the explosion occurred is deliberately avoiding humans, it might be fishing.

It is to allow these top scientists to pass through.

"It's okay. If that thing wants to attack us, it doesn't matter where we are."

"So don't worry about that."

Feng Yuanshan nodded, this was indeed true.

They are now in a completely weak position.

So far, even the source of this movement is unknown.

The only thing that can be speculated is that this was an explosion caused by ultra-high speed, far exceeding the speed of sound.

"Do you think there are aliens?"

The youngest computer expert asked curiously.

There are always rumors on Earth that aliens have been seen in certain places, but they have never been confirmed.

But everything shown in this picture is simply impossible with current human technology.

To be honest, although the speculation about aliens is equally unreliable, it is the most likely one.

"If they are aliens, then what is their purpose?"

If you want to rule over humanity, it won't take much effort with this technology.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dimensionality reduction attack.

But if they say they want to interact with humans, then why do they deliberately avoid them?

"Maybe for fun?"

"It's also possible that what we think is impossible may seem very common to them."

"Have you ever seen The Truman Show? We might be under observation."

"..."

Those present are all top scientists who have spent their entire lives pursuing the truth about the world.

The more you understand, the more you realize how insignificant you are.

This possibility does exist.

They are even more likely to accept this statement than ordinary people.

The end of science is theology.

So-called theology is nothing more than what science cannot explain for the time being.

When technology develops to a certain level, what was once theology will become science.

"Let's not think too much about it for now. Let's go to the scene tomorrow and see what happens."

"Dear professors, our conversation here today must not be leaked. This matter has been elevated to top secret."

Everyone nodded, feeling very heavy-hearted.

Before I came here, I never thought that this would happen.

No wonder they need to keep the whole process confidential; this discovery cannot be leaked under any circumstances.

The few people who came here were not chosen randomly. They also went through strict screening to ensure that there were no problems with them.

After returning to their respective residences, everyone had a worried look on their faces.

Not long after, Huang Jinzhe, who was deep in thought in his room, heard a knock on the door.

One of the two people at the door was the familiar Gao Zheng.

There was another person who was also among the people who came, and he was the one who asked to watch the video.

"What do you think of today's events?"

In the room, the three of them were drinking tea, and Gao Zheng spoke first.

The three of them are in the same field, but their research directions are different, so they gathered together to discuss.

"There is no doubt that this is both a crisis and an opportunity."

"If we can find the secret, it might usher in a new round of technological revolution."
