Epoch of Twilight

After eating, Meng Junhua hurried back to the room.

For this project, the emergency spaceship has already been refitted to become a formal scientific research spaceship. In addition to some large and small laboratories, a number of residential areas have also been built on the periphery, enough to accommodate about 100,000 people.

However, most of the rooms are unoccupied, and there are only a few thousands of people living in them, most of whom are scientific researchers.

"Master, are you back?" As soon as the door was opened, a maid walked over lightly, with a refreshing fragrance, and said respectfully at the door.

She is extremely beautiful, her face is as pure as a dewy lily, her big eyes are crystal clear, she looks pitiful, and she wears a maid outfit with big white legs on her body, with a weak taste of being bullied. Every inch of her is so perfect, her skin is so fair and flawless, she doesn't look like a real person.

In fact, she is not a real person, but a robot maid.

Its skeleton is made of light metal, and its flesh is a structure that simulates human flesh and blood. Coupled with a relatively simple artificial intelligence, she can chat with people smoothly, and can be perfectly competent for various housework, as well as some other special purposes. , is very popular among some single researchers.

However, this kind of mechanical maid is hard to see in the outside world except for single researchers who can buy it.

Some data show that the marriage rate has been pitifully low since the scientific researchers who purchased the mechanical maid. If they are released, it will be enough to cause a series of social problems. As for those scientific researchers, their greatest contribution is to dedicate their wisdom. For family and children, it is better not to delay them.

Moreover, scientific researchers are born with home attributes, so it is estimated that they do not need an independent partner.

Meng Junhua let the maid take off his protective clothing gently, and asked casually, "Xiao Lin, how are you doing today?"

"Well, it's okay, I just miss you a little bit." Maid Xiaolin said

"There is nothing I can do about it. After all, I have to work. It will be fine after a while. Then I will have a good rest." Meng Junhua looked at the maid's eyes of crush and grievance, although he knew it was his own set character, but It's a cold logic program, but it still feels a little distressed.

This maid brought him a lot of happiness during this time, with a gentle personality, submissive, never disobeying him, and never betraying him.

"No need, your work is important, don't waste time with me, as long as you have me in your heart."

"Master, you must have worked very hard after a day of work. Would you like to give you a massage?" At this moment, the maid suddenly smiled charmingly, and for a moment it seemed as if a hundred flowers were blooming, and the room suddenly became brighter.

Meng Junhua was a little dumbfounded, his heart itched unbearably, he was still a young man in his twenties, when his hormones were strong, in the past, he would have been unable to resist the temptation, but today, he had some inspiration, and he barely restrained the temptation in his heart. Lianyi: "Forget it, I have some information to read, please pour me a cup of tea!"

"Yes, Master!" The maid looked a little disappointed, like a real person: "Do you need warm water?"

"Warm water!"

Seeing Pingping Tingting swaying gracefully, Meng Junhua bit the tip of her tongue and sighed inwardly, "It's killing me!"

"Compared to this mechanical maid, that willful and savage girlfriend from before is simply scum!"

...

After the maid left, Meng Junhua couldn't wait to lie down on the bed and close his eyes to enter the network.

There is a large quantum repeater on the emergency spacecraft, which is connected to the mother ship, so even if they are separated by hundreds of thousands of kilometers, the network is still clear and smooth without any delay.

He soon came to the door of the electronic library.

This is a grand library, it looks like a giant spire, which is shocking.

Today's electronic library is no longer a simple and rigid database in the past, but presents a certain texture of virtual reality. This library covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters and has a total of sixty-nine floors. The speed of eight to ten floors is constantly increasing.

Perhaps a hundred years later, this building may have grown to thousands of floors, truly towering like a cloud.

People at the bottom of the building came and went in a hurry, and some of them seemed to be acquaintances. Meng Junhua didn't want to waste time saying hello, so he lowered his head and walked quickly into the electronic library.

The entire first floor is filled with dense bookshelves, but this is not a real library after all, no one will patiently search for books here, this place is not so much a library as a symbol of a palace of knowledge.

"Retrieve all the data in the field of biological neurology in the last three years, and the environment is set to grassland."

Just in an instant, the surrounding environment quickly faded, the original library gradually disappeared, and the green loomed. A few seconds later, an endless green grassland appeared in the field of vision, and at the same time, dozens of bookshelves were placed neatly around. .

The blue sky and white clouds are above the head, and the vast grassland is under the feet. Meng Junhua looked at it for a while, and felt that his heart was widened. Since leaving the earth, he can only see these scenes of the previous earth on the Internet.

It's just a pity that all of this is false, and the sense of immersion is not high.

You can't smell the fragrance of green grass here, you can't feel the flow of air, and you don't even feel the feeling of being down-to-earth. After all, there is a layer of separation from the real virtual reality.

"I heard that there has been a major breakthrough in the real virtual reality that connects the brain nerves, and I don't know when it will be applied. I am afraid that by that time, there will be no difference between virtual reality and reality."

He sighed for a while, then quickly collected his mind and began to read these materials.

He doesn't know much about biology, but this is only for scientists who specialize in this field. For scientists like him who have taken wisdom potions, basically they will dabble in various fields. Up to now, a lot of knowledge in various fields is related by analogy and blended indistinctly.

After all, no matter which field, subdivided into the microscopic field, it is actually the same, just like a blind person feeling an elephant, they are all learning the world, but the way of getting started is different.

He flipped through the pages very quickly, occasionally stopping to meditate, but even so, he could finish a book in five minutes at most.

In recent years, the field of biological neuroscience has developed rapidly.

No matter it is theory or application, it has produced countless fruitful results. For example, his beloved mechanical maid uses a large number of artificial nerve fibers. Under the direct and indirect regulation and control of these nerve fiber networks, they are connected with each other, influence each other, and cooperate closely. , let the whole machine form a complete and unified organism.

Let the mechanical maid not only coordinate and move flexibly, no different from a real person, but also have biological perception, can feel changes in the internal and external environment, as well as changes in various senses of touch, smell and pain, and some special parts are far better than humans. Sensitivity, coupled with a wealth of skills loaded...

Meng Junhua quickly collected himself and continued to read the materials.

After several hours.

"Hey! Quantum nerve conduction, this is new!"

He looked at the date of publication and found that it was an academic material that had only recently been finalized.

He flipped through it immediately, very fast.

As a calf in the field of physics theory, quantum can be regarded as his field of research. There is nothing in this material that is beyond the scope of his knowledge, but this magical way of nerve conduction makes him open his eyes. More inspiration.

And most importantly, this is not a scientific hypothesis, but a discovery.

The difference between the two is that the former is just a theory to be confirmed, while the latter is real.

This phenomenon was discovered from the tissue of the previous space behemoth. This lucky researcher discovered a special mutant nerve cell body in a nerve fiber, which is very different from the surrounding nerve cells.

It looks like a ball covered with long, thin hairs that grow between the cracks of nearby cells, ranging in length from fifteen to one hundred microns.

After a long period of follow-up research, the laboratory was surprised to find that the structure of this nerve cell is a natural quantum communication device. The technology involved is simply horrific.

Such cells have been discovered one after another, but the number is not large, and most of them are located in some key nodes.

At the end of the thesis, the researcher concluded that the transmission of god-level signals may be only one of the functions, because some structures have not yet been resolved, and he boldly guessed that this kind of quantum nerve cells should also be able to transmit energy.

Meng Junhua put down the book, his heart was ups and downs, his heart was agitated, and the place that was troubled in his heart suddenly became clear.

Because he found that it all makes sense if one assumes that quantum teleportation energy is real.

There is no need for any energy transmission channel at all, and hundreds of tumors working together in front of the quantum signal transmission are enough to be fully synchronized!

He immediately made up his mind to confirm whether this creature also had quantum cells when he returned.

And he estimated that this kind of thing is almost inseparable.

He patted his forehead, feeling a little annoyed, he should have thought of it long ago! For this super-giant creature with a length of nearly a kilometer, if it only transmits nerve signals through ordinary bioelectricity, it should be unresponsive, and the delay from receiving external stimuli to taking action can even reach several seconds.

However, in fact, this kind of creature is quite flexible, with an amazing reaction speed, far stronger than ordinary people, and it would be impossible to do so without a special nerve signal transmission method.

At this time, the importance of the ultra-miniature gamma ray burst biological tissue structure in his heart has plummeted, and the special quantum nerve cells have occupied most of his mind.

"Those biological laboratories are only laymen after all, no matter how much research they do, they probably won't be able to produce any results. It's not like an expert in the field of physics like myself. If

It would be a revolutionary discovery if it could really be confirmed that it could transmit energy.

If this technology is cracked by humans, it may trigger a technological revolution, the situation of mankind will also undergo drastic changes, and his name will go down in history. "

He hastily exited the network and jumped up from the bed.

"Master, do you want to go out?" The mechanical maid felt the movement and woke up from the standby mode, walked to the door, and asked with a puzzled expression.

Meng Junhua's face was full of excitement, and while putting on the protective clothing, he said to the maid: "My research has made some progress, you don't have to wait for me, go to bed early."
