Deep Space Fleet

Zhang Yuan met an old acquaintance in his office, Mr. John Wilson, the pessimist scientist in the nuclear fusion engine.

John woke up two months earlier than him, and seemed to be broken by the bleak reality. He just said hello to Zhang Yuan, and then sat in his seat all day long, froze, wondering what he was thinking.

Zhang Yuan sighed, almost everyone here was like this.

In the current social environment, it is no longer possible to do some complex work. At least half of the population is depressed, and it is quite rare to be able to do a simple job. Don't try to create too much social value.

Fortunately, decision-makers have estimated this situation in advance, and made some deployments when formulating the hibernation policy.

At present, there are a total of 600 sober people, with more than 100 people responsible for the maintenance of the power system. The remaining population is distributed in communications, medical services, botanical gardens, and material management.

A small number of soldiers and administrative personnel are responsible for maintaining law and order.

这个 In this small self-sufficient society, everyone's workload is very small.

The Earth Age's engine is in an extinguished state, and it relies on inertial navigation in the universe, and most of its functions have been turned off. Therefore, more than a hundred years of work will not accumulate catastrophic accidents. It ’s okay for everyone to relax a little.

Uh ...

时间 In this uncomfortable atmosphere, time passes day by day. Zhang Yuan has converged all his emotions and started to learn new knowledge normally.

足够 There are enough new things happening on the earth, whether academic, historical, or humanistic, there are many things worth studying carefully.

Because of the qualitative changes caused by quantitative changes, Zhang Yuan found that he could not even understand the most advanced scientific and technological papers. He can only read relevant news written by the popular science website to grasp the overall scientific development.

He said to himself, "It's very good. It's a good thing to not understand. If the ancients like me still understand, human beings must be finished."

"What happened to the ancients? I'm no problem when I go to be a university teacher!" John said, "In the 25th century, students in the university are not learning calculus? That's boring."

Zhang Yuan could not help but smile. This sentence is true. Before the emergence of the technology for improving the intelligence of the entire population, college students in any era should be learning calculus. The entire civilization still has to be driven by genius.

"John, what does this super alpha state mean?"

"I don't know, maybe it's a new academic term in condensed matter physics ... I'll help you look up relevant papers."

The two people in the office faced with modern knowledge and had many things they didn't understand. However, it is quite interesting to study with multiple people. The research progress is faster than one person.

I used to have such a problem on the Internet. If Einstein traveled to modern times, could he be a top scientist?

Top is not necessarily, but it is quite easy to become a good scientist again. Because under the influence of good habits, learning new knowledge is actually a relatively pleasant thing for Einstein. After a few years of work, it is estimated that you can learn cutting-edge disciplines.

Even if there is new knowledge in front of you without studying, a sense of uneasiness will arise.

…… "... there is good news in frontier science. Through a condensed state superfluid experiment, it seems to have found the existence of graviton!"

Suddenly Zhang Yuan seemed to find some big news and screamed.

"It's really not easy!"

After reading one of the papers, he sighed deeply.

The mood at the moment can only be described in one word: cool!

According to the description of this paper, after using a superfluid to surround a limited area, scientists found that a small amount of gravitational changes occurred in this area.

This gravitational change exceeds expectations.

某些 In some theories, gravitons are bosons with a spin of 2 and produce an overcurrent mechanism analogous to helium-4. That is, this part of the superfluid is likely to short-circuit some of the gravitons flowing through this area, thereby achieving local shielding.

证据 The existence evidence of graviton is probably the greatest scientific discovery of the last two centuries!

It means that some basic theories seem to be able to develop further.

A variety of related papers have emerged endlessly, and so far no decision has been made on the final winner.

Seeing here, Zhang Yuan's heartbeat speeds up slightly, he knows deeply how important the discovery of graviton is to cutting-edge science!

"Gravons involve gravity as a physical phenomenon. If gravity can be unified into quantum theory, then the" great unified theory "will no longer be a dream!"

"If under the guidance of the theoretical foundation, anti-gravity and artificial gravity-related technologies can really appear, humanity will once again realize the qualitative change of science and technology!"

Zhang Zhangyuan is very willing to do research in this area.

Of course, for him at present, he can only be a distant observer, looking for some fun in these news.

任何 Any progress in human civilization is a very secure and comforting thing for him.

"I'm a 200-year-old elder, juniors, come on." Zhang Yuan joked because he was in a good mood.

"Ahem, if you want to understand the civilization of the earth, you can look at the special report of the Deep Space Foundation every year ~ www.readwn.com ~ instead of looking for information here, all kinds of news are really outrageous. , Some are fabricated indiscriminately from the media. "

John said slowly.

For so many months, he has slowly returned to normal. Moreover, Zhang Yuan's explosive learning spirit also directly led him and forced him to follow along.

家伙 Sometimes this guy still sighs, but anyway, he can communicate.

I have to say that time can dilute everything, and human beings are a very receptive creature. If you choose to keep yourself busy, all the heavy will be slowly thrown behind your head ...

I always have to live for myself.

"How, seeing these scientific research results, are you not pessimistic about the future of the earth's civilization?" Zhang Yuan asked with a smile: "It's still very refreshing to see the progress of science. Once the technology of the earth's civilization changes, we will also take Qualitative change "

John said with excitement: "It is indeed an amazing discovery! I was also very happy a long time ago, diluting that pessimistic expectation. By the way, what do you think about the loss of gravity caused by the phenomenon of overcurrent? How to achieve industrialization? anti-gravity?"

"Gravons and fermions have an interaction. In addition to the Yukawa coupling similar to the action of electronic photons, there may be other terms in Lagrangian. I think as long as these terms are understood, the effect of gravitational shielding can continue. Enhance! "

"The essence of the world is really beyond imagination!"

"Are the four basic forces not the ultimate essence?"

不要 "Don't be too optimistic. At present, the whole theory has not been fully understood."

The two people became more and more excited, and started to laugh wildly at the mountains, as if anti-gravity technology could really be realized ...
