The End of Technology

In the afternoon, the warm sunshine in Beijing's winter shines through the windows into the lecture hall on the fifth floor of Ningyuan. Combined with the central heating, people can feel the warmth.

Today is Ning Zi’s first lecture on astronomy. The audience is filled with professors from the astronomy departments and astrophysics of Yanda and Huaqing University.

In one day, although there has been little response on the Internet and the proving paper has not yet been published on the official website of Science, more and more astronomers have obtained it from NASA and other national astronomical institutes. Data, and even the data analysis process, these astronomers' emotions towards Ning Zi are naturally more complicated.

Twenty-seven people filled up a small lecture hall. At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Ning Zi, who was sitting on the podium.

"Before I tell you about my idea for writing that paper, I want to ask a question first, which is about information storage. I don't know how many of you still remember the scenes from your childhood, such as the first word we wrote. , the first painting I drew, or a fall when I was a toddler, and so on, these trivial things.

Regardless of whether we look at humanity as a whole or as individuals, the information we have left behind is of course meaningless. Those random graffiti should have been thrown into the garbage dump long ago, and the experience of tripping has long been deleted from the memory, but these things happened after all, and there are traces of them after they happened.

So my question is is it possible that all this information was preserved in a way that we don't understand yet. Everything from the birth of the earth to 4.6 billion years ago, or from the formation of the solar system to about 10 billion years ago, has been stored in this universe.

I hope everyone can think carefully about this issue. If you have any ideas, you can send us an email to discuss. If I think there are valuable letters, or if you come up with some valuable topics based on this issue, I will not only reply to the letter for discussion, but I will also consider providing certain financial support.

Okay, the digression is over. Now back to today’s topic, how I inferred that there may be the motion of massive stars in the galactic center from a differential disturbance manifold. First of all, I want to put forward a hypothesis, that is, the existence form of dark energy and dark matter may be different from what we have guessed before. They are more like the projection of another space mass in the universe.

This space must conform to the following series of definitions. In order to facilitate everyone's understanding, we still start from the most familiar and basic equation of state of matter P=Wρn. As everyone knows, in the formation of large-scale universe structures, if the hypothetical dark If energy exists, then the formation and stabilization of large-scale structures will be slower than predicted, because gravity first needs to overcome this repulsive force before it can reconstruct the large-scale structures we think of, such as galaxy clusters..."

…

Ning Zi began to talk in the lecture hall.

Many people certainly did not expect that an important report meeting on the development path of world civilization would have been held in Ningyuan of the University of Physical Education. When Ning Zicong decided to report on a space system outside of normal space that had not yet been discovered, let alone studied, the world's development model and process were destined to become different.

…

Pearl.

Xing Jianxin pressed his fingerprint on a document with trembling hands. He looked so depressed at this time that if his eldest son Xing Wenji hadn't been supporting him, he might have fallen to the ground. If an uninformed person saw it, they would never believe that this humble old man was once an invisible billionaire.

But now it's over, it's all over.

Pressing his fingerprints means that he is willing to accept those conditions to reach a settlement with Apple. But the price of this reconciliation was indeed too high for him to bear.

Almost all the real estate and property under the names of Xing Jianxin and Xing Wenji were lost to Apple.

Although this amount of money is almost insignificant to Apple, for an individual natural person, it means a decline in class.

After all, the two properties in Mingzhu and a small villa together amounted to nearly 100 million in assets, and now they are all gone.

Unless he is confident that he can win a long-lasting lawsuit with Apple after going out.

Of course, even if he had the confidence, he wouldn't have the courage.

Because Apple decided not to pursue criminal liability against him on the basis that he would not appeal.

What's more important is that he knows very well that after losing everything now, and even losing his teaching position at Shuangdan University, it is difficult to say that his former friends and connections can still be real assets.

Many of those who once benefited from his favor now shun him like snakes and scorpions, not to mention those who were theoretical victims.

Those whom he previously thought could be allies have now deleted their master's and doctoral diplomas from their resumes. When everyone is trying to ensure safety, if he brings up old things again, he will probably be the one attacked by the group.

Xing Jianxin never overestimates the kindness of human nature.

This is survival experience.

After signing, he finally walked out of the detention center, and Xing Jianxin let out a long sigh.

No one came to pick me up, which was to be expected.

He had just called his young wife, who told him that he had prepared a divorce agreement and hoped that he could sign it so that they could get together and part ways. Otherwise, some things about him would be hidden from the light.

Xing Jianxin was not surprised.

Why would a young and beautiful woman be willing to follow him wholeheartedly?

Does the picture look old to him?

Can he not have children?

Well, that’s just the way it is with people.

He doesn't plan to go back home, and there's no point in going back. The house already belongs to Apple. After he signs the agreement, all his personal belongings will be packed and moved to the house rented by Apple.

Apple is very kind in this regard. The law only requires renting for half a year, but Apple still paid him one year's rent in advance.

And I chose a house of more than 100 square meters, which is still in the city center and is expensive.

But kindness is limited, because Apple signed an agreement to pay monthly rent, which means that in the next year, if Xing Jianxin and Xing Wenji live in that house, Apple will continue to pay. If they choose to move, Apple will Regardless, this also puts an end to Xing Jianxin's idea of ​​cashing out.

From this point alone, Xing Jianxin knew that this was a deliberate attempt to trouble him.

Does a big company like Apple care how to pay the rent? Impossible, this just prevents him from getting cash. This is forcing him!

Xing Jianxin has never been so lucky as now that he secretly kept a lover and bought her a house.

Although the house is not big, based on the current housing prices in Mingzhu, it is worth at least five to six million.

During the past two days in the detention center, Xing Jianxin had already figured it out. He was old, and with his abilities, he would most likely not be able to survive in a place like Mingzhu. As long as he convinces that stupid woman to cooperate with him in selling the house, and then finds a way to get some money from fans, he can find a small place in China to live an ordinary life, and hibernating for a while is the best option.

Spending one to two million to buy an apartment and still have three to four million in cash on hand will definitely make life less comfortable than before, but at least it will be better than 80 to 90 percent of the families in the country. Even if there is no chance of a comeback, at least two generations can be guaranteed to have enough food and clothing.

There is definitely some reluctance, but in the face of absolute strength, no matter how unwilling you are, you can only endure this tone.

Speaking of which, the other side was somewhat merciful, although not much.

If we really take it seriously and lock him up for one or two years, then everything will really be over.

Although the lover he adopted was a bit stupid, he couldn't be so stupid that he didn't look for her for a year and people didn't ask about him.

Once he knew his true situation, he might just run away with the bucket.

In that case, he really has no way out.

Glancing at his depressed son, Xing Jianxin sighed in his heart and resisted the urge to call Liu Yueyun right away.

He planned to handle this matter by himself, not because he couldn't trust his only son, but mainly because this guy was really useless, and he was afraid that Xing Wenji would reveal his flaws in front of that woman.

He planned to trick the woman into selling the house on the pretext that he was about to retire and take the woman to the United States.

If the lie is discovered, it will be very difficult if Liu Yueyun does not cooperate. After all, the house was registered in that woman's name.

Of course, it's a good thing it wasn't registered in his name, otherwise it would most likely be Apple's property by now.

I took a taxi with my son and returned to the community where Apple rented for him, back to their "new home."

There's not much to say. The old residential areas in the city center are almost the same. The decoration is not high-end, but it is enough. The landlord asked the two of them to sign a separate agreement for compensation for damage to large items in the house, so he left two keys for them.

After the landlord left, Xing Jianxin went to take a shower, changed into a set of clothes that his wife had given him before, and tidied himself up properly. Then he said to Xing Wenji: "I'll go find some old friends and see if I can Think of a way, borrow some money first, wait for them to deliver the things at home, and remember to count the things carefully."

"Oh. Okay, dad." At this time, Xing Wenji had completely lost the arrogance he had in the United States, and was as docile as a sheep.

There is no way, Xing Wenji has not stayed in China for a long time. If he wants to survive in this land, he can only rely on his father. He is even more optimistic than Xing Jianxin. After all, my father's friends before were all CEOs of many companies. He would pay tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 in retouching fees to help them stand up or write an article.

Xing Jianxin nodded to the good boy and walked out of the house.

After walking out of the building, he called Liu Yueyun. The voice on the phone made his heart sink suddenly.

"The number you dialed is out of service. Sorry! The number you dialed is out of service."

Why did the phone stop?

Xing Jianxin remembered that he had been to the woman's place last time. After Yun Yu, he left her 30,000 yuan in cash. In addition, the woman had hundreds of thousands of savings on hand. It was impossible to pay all the phone bills no matter what. Isn’t that amazing?

unless……

Xing Jianxin quickly opened WeChat, then found the woman's phone number and quickly typed: "Why is your phone shut down?"

Click to send, and as expected, the words just sent have a red exclamation mark, and there is a sentence below, "The other party is not your friend, you need to send a friend to verify."

Xing Jianxin was stunned.

What the hell is going on?

Did that woman run away?

It shouldn't be. With her level of education, it's impossible for her to have access to his affairs, and what she usually cares about are beauty, fitness, travel, going abroad and the like. He was only investigated for a week, and there was no online information. There is no news, why did this woman suddenly disappear?

I want to add friends on WeChat again, but the messages I send are like nothing.

Well, Xing Jianxin, who didn't know what happened, had no choice but to go out of the community and hail a taxi. He had to go and see with his own eyes what was going on... Maybe the woman was just dead?

In that case... he might be able to find a way through the previous purchase invoices.

When he arrived at the community where the woman lived and found the building, Xing Jianxin took out his key and tried to open the door, but found that the door was ajar and there were voices coming from inside. Subconsciously opening the door, I saw a strange man wearing a formal suit like an agency was explaining things to two people who were obviously migrant workers in the empty living room...

The sound of him pushing the door startled the three people who were talking, and all three eyes looked at him.

"What's the matter with you?" the man in a suit asked him.

"I would like to ask, where is the head of the household here before? That Xiaoliu, where is she?" Xing Jianxin asked.

"Former head of household? You're talking about Sister Liu. She said her mother was sick and she was anxious to go home to take care of her. This house has also been sold to me."

"What?! She sold the house to you?" Xing Jianxin actually didn't care where Liu Yueyun went. What annoyed him was that the only property he used to turn over already belonged to someone else.

"Really? The house has been transferred to my name. I plan to use it as a wedding room. Is there a problem? Who are you?" The man in the suit glanced at Xing Jianxin and asked.

"Don't care who I am, but I bought this house for her. How could she sell it?" Xing Jianxin said immediately.

The man in the suit smiled and said: "Hey, look what you said. No matter who paid for this house, her name is on the property certificate, and Sister Liu is not married, so of course she can sell it to whoever she wants. Who can it be sold to? If you don’t believe it, you can follow me to the store and I will show you the real estate certificate."

"How much did she sell this house for?" Xing Jianxin still wanted to struggle.

After all, real men are obviously intermediaries.

It is impossible for an agent to buy a house by himself at a very high price.

"You don't need to take care of it, right? The transaction of this house has been completed a long time ago, and the formal procedures have been followed. If you have any questions, go to the real estate bureau to check it yourself. Also, this is my home now, please get out. , otherwise I will have to call the police." The man in the suit said to Xing Jianxin.

When he heard the word "call the police", Xing Jianxin suddenly lost the confidence to continue making trouble here.

Some things will naturally feel different if he has experienced them personally. God knows how he got through this period of time.

So in the end I could only walk out of the house in silence.

When he came downstairs to his unit and looked at the flowers and plants in the community, Xing Jianxin suddenly felt sad.

He really couldn't figure out how that woman Liu Yueyun suddenly became enlightened!

Didn't this woman always want to take her to the United States to live a better life when he retires?

What exactly is going on?

At this moment, Xing Jianxin felt the feeling of betrayal and alienation. At this time, he couldn't even understand what his thinking mode was at that time. Why would he offend Ning Zi when he had nothing to do? Such ridiculous behavioral logic...

Just when he was at a loss, the phone in his hand suddenly vibrated twice. Although he knew that there was no good news waiting for him at this time, he still subconsciously picked up the phone and took a look.

There's really no good news, but it's not bad news either.

It’s just an advertisement pushed by Weibo.

He was about to cross it out, but when he saw the content of the software, he was still stunned subconsciously.

"Today's hot topic: The economics professor of Mingzhu Shuangdan University reiterated that workers cannot be paid too high because this will not be conducive to the cultivation of hard work of the working people. Do you agree? Come and argue?"

Xing Jianxin: "?"

…

Huaxia, Yanbei University, Ningyuan.

In the lecture hall, Ning Zi has completed the first stage of her narration.

For the professors who participated in this report, this was definitely a report that subverted their outlook and imagination.

It was at this report meeting that Ning Zi proposed the existence of medium space for the first time. Medium space is a semi-enclosed space. In addition, if humans can find a way to send particles into medium space, they may be able to obtain them. The coveted new substance possesses unimaginable physical properties.

In addition, the energy overflowing from the medium space is dark energy that cosmologists cannot find everywhere. It is the existence of the medium space that supports the expansion of the universe, and the speed far exceeds people's calculations. If you want to get the final result, you have to calculate the mass of the media space.

However, there is another counter-intuitive thing here. According to calculations, the structure of the medium space may not belong to any currently known or possible structure. For example, theoretically, within the framework of a three-dimensional system, any 0-dimensional space The point, extended into a one-dimensional line, can cut any three-dimensional structure, but in the medium space, this may no longer be true.

At the same time, many physical rules of reality may no longer hold.

In addition, Ning Zi even predicted that when people are familiar with and understand the methods of entering and exiting the medium space, they will be able to guide human civilization to officially start the stage of conquering the universe, because the space-time structure in the medium space is different from the space-time structure in the universe. They are two independent systems. As long as they can figure out the formula for coordinate transformation between the two spaces, even if it is not accurate, humans will have the ability to travel in the universe...

It is no exaggeration to say that this series of hypotheses really confused a group of astronomers...
