Great Power Technology

"You mean, you want to overthrow string theory from beginning to end, and then use the Standard Model as a basis to develop a new theory that can explain both macro and micro physics?"

After talking about starting a new business, Lin Ling talked non-stop to Ye Zhou for half an hour about the theories of high-energy physics, including but not limited to the application of AdS/CFT in condensed matter, the singularity theorem of general relativity, and the standard model. UV divergence in

Ye Zhou's head was as big as a bucket when he heard all these advanced theories. By the end, he could hardly understand what Lin Ling was saying.

But at the same time, a thought appeared very clearly in his mind:

This is where it all started.

Perhaps it was from this moment that Lin Ling officially embarked on the research path of adjacent dimensions, and later, through the theory she created, she analyzed the problems of adjacent dimensions and space channels, thus creating The quantum ghost traveled through twenty years and sent that reminder message to mankind.

Speaking of which, Lin Ling herself can actually be said to be the "Number Zero", because her past and future have actually formed a closed loop.

Of course, from now on, Ye Zhou still doesn't know whether this closed loop is necessary, because time is a more complex problem than space, but in any case, Lin Ling, who embarked on this path, is doing something about the human crisis. A correct answer.

"No, I don't mean to base it on the Standard Model. I think the Standard Model has bigger holes in explaining the adjacent dimension problem than it does in explaining gravity. I mean"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Ye Zhou had no choice but to interrupt Lin Ling again, and then said:

"Comrade Lin, I really don't understand what you are saying. I am just an application technology person. Now what I need you to tell me is what kind of resource support you need from us in your plan. ?”

"If you need people or equipment, you need to bring it up now. If new facilities are needed, then you need to give us a clear plan."

"You know, our resources are very limited now, and there are many parallel large projects being done. It is not easy to squeeze out resources for you."

After hearing Ye Zhou's words, Lin Ling paused and replied:

"Gong Ye, I will give you a list later, and there will be things I need on it, but...hmm, I thought I need to explain clearly what I want to do before you can approve it."

"Your explanation is completely useless to me. You should explain it to experts in your own related fields. However, all our current layouts are based on the strategic level, and the research on adjacent dimension theory is also here. It’s part of the strategy, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

"I understand. Ye Gong, can I come over to you now? I want to hand over the materials to you first."

".come on."

Ye Zhou glanced at the time. It was already close to six in the afternoon. It was obvious that he would miss dinner again today.

After waiting for half an hour, Lin Ling finally arrived. Ye Zhou took a rough look at the materials she submitted and found that they did not involve many demands for infrastructure, but the most demanding requirements for talents - this was not a Unsatisfactory requirements.

If the other party wants to build a new large-scale collision device or launch a new deep space probe, then he really has to think carefully about it.

After a few brief exchanges, Ye Zhou stood up and prepared to leave the office. Lin Ling followed him. After walking for a while, Ye Zhou asked with some confusion:

"Why are you following me?"

".I am going to eat."

Ye Zhou smiled awkwardly, and then he realized that both of them were walking towards the canteen of Huawuyuan.

".I'll treat you to dinner. It's been a hard time."

Lin Ling will naturally not refuse Ye Zhou's invitation - in fact, in her opinion, Ye Zhou is now everyone's superior, and every word he speaks has a hint of command, which makes people unaware. How to refuse.

After sitting down in the small restaurant specially set aside in the cafeteria, Ye Zhou said:

"It feels like your condition has improved a lot recently, but you still need to pay attention to rest. Scientific research is a long-term job, and ensuring good health is a prerequisite."

"I understand, thank you for the organization's concern."

"We are not strangers to each other to this extent, right? Forget it, are there any new international developments in basic theoretical research recently?"

Lin Ling chuckled and replied:

"No, this is not a cliché. In terms of the general direction, there is still no change. Everything we do now is to unify the macro and micro. But if you ask me about things related to the neighboring power, there really is."

"tell me the story?"

Ye Zhou looked at Lin Ling curiously and asked.

"Over in Sweden, there are a group of scientists engaged in quantum physics who are discussing how to get in touch with civilizations in neighboring dimensions."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou's brows instantly frowned.

His attitude towards unknown civilizations has always been extremely vigilant, because it is obvious that all civilizations in adjacent dimensions are enemies with the current civilization on earth. The more exposed they are to the enemy, the greater the danger.

"Why should we contact the adjacent dimension? Is there any benefit to us?"

Lin Ling shook his head and replied:

"Theoretically it won't do any good, but you know, some people's thinking is very paranoid - especially in the West, some scientists' pursuit of knowledge goes beyond instinct. They don't care about human life and death, they just want to Pursuit of ultimate truth.”

"For them, the adjacent dimension is a step towards the truth. If they can get in touch with them, they don't care what the consequences will be."

"What is this called? Chao Wen Dao, Xi Ke will die, but their price is all mankind."

"Of course, in addition to these paranoid people, there is also a group of people who call themselves the 'Symbiosis Faction' - actually, it is more appropriate to call them the 'Pet Faction'. I think they are more naive - they probably think that we are different from those in neighboring dimensions. Civilizations can still negotiate, after all, they are all the same civilizations."

"Same kind of civilization? We don't even know whether the other party is a carbon-based civilization or a silicon-based civilization."

"I really don't know, but if the other party is really a carbon-based civilization, then the similarity between us and them may really be extremely high - this is also the main point of this group of people. They think that we are similar to the other party. There is likely to be a very high cultural and moral similarity, and we can persuade the other party to give up the destruction of us through communication."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou sighed helplessly.

"This is too naive. Would anyone believe it?"

Lin Ling nodded solemnly and replied:

"Ye Gong, to be honest, this argument seems naive to us, because we speculate on the enemy from the perspective of 'malice', but if we change our stance and regard the confrontation between the two sides as purely natural, If it’s competition for survival, then this reason is really not as outrageous as it seems on the surface.”

"Think about it, we can protect wild animals, let alone an intelligent civilization? The ultimate goal of the Symbiosis Sect is to turn the earth in this dimension into an 'ecological reserve' at the expense of civilization no longer developing. , ensuring the survival of human civilization.”

"Isn't this what pets are? Pets can survive because they are cute. Where is the cuteness of humans?"

Ye Zhou asked dumbfounded.

"The cute thing is that we are just like them."

"Same as the neighboring civilization? Why?"

Lin Ling did not answer directly, but asked:

"Ye Gong, let me ask you a question. Do you know why most animals on the earth move on their feet instead of on wheels?"

Ye Zhou was stunned. For a moment, he couldn't understand the purpose of the other party's question, and of course he couldn't answer it.

Seeing Ye Zhou didn't answer, Lin Ling continued:

"We assume that there is such a species. They were born in a vast field. This field is extremely flat and has no obstacles to its progress. So for them, what is the direction of their evolution?"

"Obviously, the wheel evolved, right?"

"Because wheels are most efficient on flat terrain and consume the least energy, the wheel family was born."

"However, as the Wheel Tribe continued to develop, their territory also expanded further, and one day, they suddenly discovered that the fields had an end."

"Beyond the fields are mountains, hills, rivers, and various obstacles. When you reach these places, the efficiency of the wheel begins to decrease."

"So, in order to adapt to such terrain, the wheel family began the second round of evolution - just like our off-road vehicles, they enlarged the grooves on the tires so that the tires can have stronger grip and roll over Higher barriers.”

"Slowly, the grooves in the tire became deeper and deeper, until eventually, the solid tire turned into several sticks radiating out from the center."

"Such 'stick tires' have strong climbing capabilities and help wheel people survive in the mountains. But the problem is, they suddenly discovered that this is not the optimal solution."

"How does a stick tire work? Suppose there is an obstacle in front of it. Then, when the stick in front hits the obstacle, it will bear all the force, and then drive the stick behind to climb the obstacle through the force of rotation."

"In other words, during the climbing process, there is only one stick in contact with the surface of the obstacle from beginning to end. Sticks located elsewhere in the tire of the stick cannot help."

"In this case, there is no need for the other sticks - so the originally radioactive stick tire became a fan-shaped tire consisting of only two sticks."

"The two sticks one behind the other ensure that the wheel family can be stable and upright - the rotational drive method has also been eliminated and replaced with reciprocating motion."

"And just like that, the legs appeared."

After finishing speaking, Lin Ling breathed a long sigh of relief, and then asked:

"Ye Gong, what did you learn from this story?"

".You are acting like a kindergarten teacher now. But I probably know what you mean. Adapting to the environment is the first need for biological evolution. If the environment converges, the direction of biological evolution will also converge."

"That's right!"

A smile appeared on Lin Ling's face, but before he could speak, Ye Zhou continued to ask:

"I know your purpose in telling this story is to show that humans are likely to be very similar to civilizations in adjacent dimensions, but the problem is that the various planetary environments suitable for the birth of civilization in this universe are very different. Evolution The species that come out will also be very different. Isn't this contradictory to what you said, 'We are the same as them'?"

Lin Ling shook his head and asked:

"Ye Gong, do you really think the environment of each planet is very different?"

"The entire universe is governed by the four basic forces. The difference in the concentration of the basic forces leads to differences in the planet's environment. From a human perspective, yes, the appearance of various creatures is very different, but if you Raise your perspective to the dimension of the universe, and you will find that everything is so similar."

"Human beings are still in the process of evolution. With the advent of gene editing technology, our evolution speed will become faster and faster, and as we begin to develop into the universe, our evolutionary direction will gradually deviate from the 'field' of the earth." , begins to approach the final form of 'cosmic life'."

"We know that as the number of samples expands, the different environments gradually converge, which means that in all different dimensions and different universes, the final form of 'cosmic life' must also converge."

"Do you know what this means? Ye Gong, do you know why some people have no psychological barriers to eating wild animals, but they can't accept people eating monkeys?"

Hearing this, Ye Zhou took a long breath and replied solemnly:

"Because monkeys are our past."

"Yes."

Lin Ling also sighed, and then continued:

"So, this is the basis of the 'symbiosis' argument."

"They believe that neighboring dimensional civilizations are the future of mankind, and we are their past."

"What they want to do now is to let us monkeys learn human language, and then convince humans to let us live."
