The End of Technology

The chaos in academia has not affected the lives of ordinary people, even in this space age.

After all, for individuals, it is not a big deal that a certain theory in astronomy may have some loopholes and miscalculate the time when the universe existed.

Even if the universe is hundreds of millions of years older, or even more than a billion years old, it will not affect the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.

There is no way, the life span of human beings is too short. Even if the most advanced technology is used, a lifespan of just a hundred years is too insignificant compared to the existence of the universe. Just like the lifespan of a π particle is about 2.6X10^-8 seconds, that is, a π particle will decay into other particles after about one hundred millionth of a second after it is generated.

See, one hundred millionth of a second is nothing compared to a human lifespan of more than a hundred years, but in quantum physics this time is not short. Among a large number of elementary particles that can decay automatically, being able to exist for one hundred millionth of a second is considered a long life.

Such as resonance particles that decay through strong interactions. The survival time is roughly 10e-28 seconds, which is a quadrillionth of a second. Compared with π's glorious life, this is really fleeting. The difference is probably similar to the comparison between human lifespan and the lifespan of the universe.

Kuafu returned to Earth when the entire cosmological and astronomical system was in chaos.

The base originally wanted to hold a grand welcoming ceremony, but Ning Zi vetoed it during remote communication. Although the return of Kuafu is indeed worthy of a grand ceremony, it is not only the first time in human history to change the orbit of a comet, let it collide with a Mars, and allow Mars to retain most of its material.

More importantly, the Kuafu has complete first-hand information about this operation. You can imagine how important this information is to the base and even to human civilization. After all, any similar plans in the future must refer to this successful experience.

It's just that the person who implemented the plan didn't want to celebrate in a big way, so naturally he could only greet it in a low-key manner.

However, low-key is also relative. It means that the media was not notified and the outside world was not invited to watch the ceremony. Relatives and friends of the two families, as well as big bosses within the school and base, naturally came to greet them. After all, it took quite a long time for Ning Zi to bring Lu Xiaoya and Ning Jie out, almost half a year in total.

So when Ning Zie took Lu Xiaoya and the child out of the cabin, she still felt it was a bit noisy.

Fortunately, the atmosphere is actually quite homely.

First, he was scolded by his father. The main complaint was that he would rather go to space to do things alone, but insisted on taking his grandson out. He just took him out, and he stayed out for several months. But he was so upset... After complaining, Ning's father took his little grandson to the side and had fun. Next, he had to deal with his uncle and his father-in-law and his mother-in-law's family.

Fortunately, Ning Zi could take a breather at this time.

The direct descendants of the base crowded over, but before they could exchange greetings, they received Ning Zi's order.

"Let's not talk about anything else. I still have an important mission. I can only stay on earth for about another week. I gave you a list of supplies in the mailbox. You must prepare it within a week. Including putting together this operation All the information has been transferred to the brain of the base. By the way, I am going to a relatively far place this time, so I must prepare supplies quickly."

One sentence made many people look at each other. They just came back and are leaving again?

…

"Why are you so anxious? You can't stay at home for a week and you have to be busy again?"

"A very important celestial science experiment. As you know, celestial bodies have moving trajectories. Some special phenomena will only appear when celestial bodies reach a fixed position, such as solar eclipses and lunar eclipses. So this matter is really urgent. If you miss it, you may have to wait for many years."

"Oh, that's it, then you go. I don't care, but since going out is also work, don't go to work these days. Spend more time with Xiaoya and your sister. Yulin has missed you a lot in the past six months. Also, She is a grown-up girl now, and it’s time for her to get married, but this girl is too high-spirited, and no one will look down on her. You should choose a time to persuade her, how can there be a girl’s family who doesn’t get married?”

"Dad, you can't say that. It's a good thing to be cautious about getting married."

"Why didn't I see how cautious you were when you got married? Isn't Xiaoya still pretty good?"

"That's different, right? I'm a man..."

"What's the difference? You are here, Xiaoya is here, and I am worried that your future brother-in-law will dare to bully Yulin. Anyway, I don't care. You go and talk to your sister. Xiaonizi will listen to you the most, and she will listen to me. Never listen now.”

"Huh...okay."

"That's right, the professor Xiao Fang you chose for Ning Xiao is pretty good. Although he is a little dull and has a weak personality, he is good to your cousin. He doesn't smoke or drink, so he is a good person during the holidays. You can't have a drink with us, it's not lively. I'm afraid Yulin won't like it. Yes, your sister likes boys who are more lively. If you look back and find a suitable one, help her introduce him."

"oh……"

…

"Yulin, what kind of boy do you like?"

"Brother, why do you ask this?"

"Dad said that you are already a 25-year-old girl, and it is time to consider this matter. You still don't have a boyfriend, so he is worried."

"He's just worrying..."

"I know, but you have to let the old man have something to think about. In this way, you tell me what you like, and I will see if there is a suitable one in the base and help you introduce one, but I won't force you. You deal with it first , if it's suitable, we'll be together, if not... Anyway, I tried my best. If the old man wants to talk to me, he will have to wait until I come back to have a chance. "

"Ah? Brother, are you going on a long trip again?"

"Well, it's an important scientific research task, so don't make things worse for me. This is what dad asked for, and I have to get it done before I leave."

"Then...hey...well, actually I don't know what I like. Well, maybe it's like you, brother, someone with a high IQ, decisiveness, and strong action, preferably younger than me. A little bigger, but not too big.”

"That's it. Do you still remember that I have a student named Chen Luo? Do you have any impression?"

"Of course, every New Year when he stays at the base, you will invite him to your home for dinner."

"how is he?"

"ah……"

"It seems that at least you are not disgusted. In this way, he is still doing some work on the moon base. I have arranged his graduation defense tomorrow and he should be on his way back to Earth now. You will officially meet after your defense tomorrow."

"No, brother Chen Luo has to answer his defense tomorrow, and you still arrange a blind date for him? Brother, are you crazy?"

"His defense was just a formality. The professors who presided over it were all acquaintances in the base, so there was no pressure. Anyway, he should have graduated long ago. I simply think it is irresponsible to put him into society too early. In the future, he He also has to take on the academic guidance of those junior brothers and sisters. If you take me as the standard, he is very suitable. And Dad should be satisfied, at least the boy can go to have a drink with Dad and Uncle Ning during the holidays. "

"What?"

"Well, it's settled. Tomorrow night at six o'clock, Ningyuan canteen, remember to dress up."

…

"Congratulations, Chen Luo, you finally graduated."

"Thank you, Academician Zhou, thank you, Academician Fan."

"Don't thank us, thank you, tutor. Your graduation also allows us to breathe a sigh of relief. Your teacher has single-handedly raised the graduation standards of the entire China. Everyone who has heard of it before you has received it. You won’t be allowed to graduate without the Nobel Prize!”

"Well...actually it all depends on Director Ning's careful cultivation..."

"Hey, don't say that, Xiao Chen, we all think highly of you. Go and say hello to your teacher. We'll take a photo with you later so he doesn't leave early again."

"okay."

…

"boss……"

"I told you, don't call me boss here. If you're not used to it, just call me teacher."

"Okay, boss. Just now, Academician Fan said that he would take pictures later, so he asked you not to leave first."

"Oh, I won't be absent today. By the way, I have some things to tell you. Have you read the contract provided by the base? Are you satisfied?"

"I'm very satisfied. I've already signed the contract."

"Well, you will also be a mentor in the future. First, practice with your junior brothers and sisters. Remember to give them more help and guidance if you have nothing to do."

"No, boss, you want me to tutor my juniors and juniors? I don't have that ability. Let's talk about my junior sister. Those math problems you assigned to her can make me dizzy. When she was at the moon base, she pulled Teacher Lu to follow her. She played chess. Did you know that neither of them used physical objects to play chess? They just reported the chess and moves... Also, you didn't know that the little junior sister was bored on the moon and saw a She can give me the basic space-filling groups for those shapes directly from her head. You asked me to guide her, but I really don’t have that level."

"So what? You are a senior brother. You can mobilize the resources of the entire base. Can they do it? You can't provide guidance in mathematics, so you can find foreign aid...Dominite, Bytes, Maric, there are so many mathematicians in the base who have passed Zhinao sends them a task! Chen Luo, you have graduated now and have signed a contract with the base. You have to change your way of thinking. And in terms of mathematics, the tutor can't actually help much. You just need to finalize Chen Xi's research results It just matters if it’s correct.”

"Forehead……"

"Anyway, I have to go out for a while in a few days, and this time I will be away for a long time. I have sent emails to all your junior brothers and sisters. During my absence, you have full authority to guide and manage them on my behalf. .”

"Then...okay. But how long will you be out this time?"

"If it goes well, half a year. If it's longer, it's hard to estimate the time. You also know that a space project usually lasts a long time. By the way, there's one more thing."

"Well, what's the matter?"

"I remember you don't have a girlfriend yet?"

"Yes, boss, hey, you also know that I have been at the moon base for several years, how can I have time to talk about that? Even if I want to fall in love, I have to find a suitable one? There are all old men above, even if I want to change Even if I change my orientation, I can’t find the right one.”

"Well, this is indeed my fault. I have delayed you for too long. I happen to have a sister who you should have met. Ning Yulin. She will also come to the dinner to celebrate your graduation tonight. You guys try it out. .”

"Wait, isn't it? Boss? Your sister? She's not an adult yet? She..."

"How many years have you been on the moon?"

"Forehead……"

"She has grown into a big girl. There is nothing to say about her appearance, but she is a little willful. After all, my father doesn't know how to educate children, and I am usually busy and have no time to take care of her. It just so happens that you can help me during this time when I am away. I take care of her."

"No, boss, you mean..."

"That's right, try everything. If you think it's suitable, you two will be together. If you really can't get along, forget it. I won't force you when it comes to relationships."

"Oh, okay, boss."

"Well, let's go take pictures. After taking pictures, I have to go to the base. Remember to go to the Ningyuan cafeteria at six o'clock in the evening. By the way, your junior sister said she is coming too, so you can pick her up on my behalf."

"No problem, boss."

…

"Senior Brother Zhuo, can I believe you?"

"Ah? No, Academician Ning, please don't offend me. I can't afford to be called a senior brother. If you have any questions, just say it. You should be clear about my situation, and you must be trustworthy. "

"There's nothing wrong with it. Remember when I first moved to the doctor's building, that's what I called you, right?"

"Ahem... To be honest, I really didn't know you could be so awesome at that time! I thought your cousin was so pretty at that time, haha..."

"Yes, it has been more than ten years in the blink of an eye. Most of the awesomeness that we boasted back then has been realized. At least the university that was once the university is now the well-deserved number one university in the world. This scientific research base has also developed into our The foundation has been established, so I have submitted a proposal for you to be the top leader of the base."

"Ah? Actually, Academician Ning, I feel pretty good now."

"Not enough! To tell you the truth, the scientific expedition I am going to do this time may take a long time. You have to help me guard this base. Having you as the leader is not only an improvement in status, but also a sense of responsibility. The permissions of Zhi Nao’s application have been increased. If I don’t come back for a long time, no matter how the outside infiltrates into the base, as long as you ensure that everything is under Zhi Nao’s control, the foundation will not be shaken. Do you understand?”

"No, the time you mentioned is very long. How long does it take?"

"Not sure. It's possible in ten or twenty years. After you get the authority, you have to make sure that your authority is always greater than the authority of Zhi Nao. There is a degree in between. You can 100% believe in the mathematics given by Zhi Nao. Deduction results, but the development plan of the base cannot be formulated 100% according to the plan given by the brain. The standard of this degree is that humans always have priority over machines. Human beings themselves cannot achieve perfection, so no matter how perfect humans design The program will definitely have bugs."

"Huh...Academician Ning, to be honest, don't you think we should find someone who understands technology for this kind of thing?"

"Wrong, you can't just find someone who only understands technology. Experts who study related technologies often fall into two extremes: blind confidence or blind pessimism. If you don't understand the internal logic of the brain's operation, if you can firmly believe in everything and follow the standards Using step-by-step logic to judge decisions is actually more conducive to the management of the intelligent brain.”

"Then...what if I can't make up my mind?"

"Just like you are doing now, think about how I would handle it. Although it may not be right, but if that happens, I believe that at least it will not make things worse. In short, you can help me keep safe This base.”

"I will definitely work hard!"

"Well, I'm optimistic about you!"
