The Zhou family enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, everyone was talking and laughing, and the scene was very warm.
Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Zhou Xing suddenly put down his chopsticks, looked at Zhou Wenhai, and said, "Dad, I have something to discuss with you."
Seeing Zhou Xing's solemn look, the dinner table fell silent and everyone stopped talking.
"Well, what's the matter?" Zhou Wenhai put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhou Xing in confusion.
"Regarding the Panshi project, the situation may have changed." Zhou Xing glanced at Zhou Yu and replied.
When he heard that it was about the Panshi, Zhou Yu paused while picking up food with his chopsticks and listened.
Zhou Wenhai glanced at Zhou Yu, coughed dryly, and asked in surprise: "What? What happened to the Panshi project? What do you need me to do?"
At this time, Zhou Yu put down his chopsticks and had no intention of eating. He stared at Zhou Xing with wide eyes, as if his beloved thing had been stolen, and his body was tense and nervous.
Seeing Zhou Yu's appearance, Zhou Xing smiled bitterly and said quickly: "The design purpose of the Panshi will be changed, from a battleship mothership to an ark mothership. It will be used to implement the plan to retain the fire of human civilization, so it needs to be followed. Let’s negotiate with the federation.”
Before Zhou Wenhai could reply, Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xing and asked angrily: "Why, why do you want to change the Panshi into an Ark mothership? Why on earth?"
Tang Xin's expression changed and she reprimanded Zhou Yu: "Zhou Yu, why are you talking to your dad? This is an adult matter, why are you, a child, getting involved?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yu blushed, looked at Zhou Xing and retorted, "What's your business? I'm the commander of the Panshi. This is what my father promised me personally. No one can change it without my permission." spaceship."
Tang Xin was furious and advised: "Xiaoyu, that is a real spaceship with a cost of tens of trillions. It is not a game. How can you take it seriously! If the spaceship is damaged by you, what compensation will you pay? "
"I don't care, don't touch my Panshi number without my permission!" Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xing angrily.
Zhou Xing stared at Zhou Yu and asked angrily, "Oh? Your spaceship? If you have the ability, build it yourself!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yu was speechless. Isn't this embarrassing!
Zhou Yu glared at Zhou Xing angrily and said angrily: "Dad, you clearly promised me. You lied to me before, are you going to lie to me now?"
After saying that, Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xing with aggrieved face, on the verge of tears, and said solemnly: "If you can't do it, don't promise me! If you lie to me again this time, I will never follow you again." You spoke."
Zhou Yu's temperament is very similar to that of his father Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing is obsessed with scientific research, while Zhou Yu focuses on commanding interstellar battleships. They are both the kind of people who will never be able to take things back once they decide something, and they will never take it easy. compromise.
When Tang Xin, Zhou Wenhai and his wife saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel anxious secretly. If this matter was not handled well, it might become a life-long estrangement between father and son.
Zhou Xing was silent for a moment, looked at Zhou Yu and asked: "Is the next ship okay? For some reasons, the Panshi must make a major adjustment without delay."
"No, even if the Panshi becomes the Ark Mothership, I will become its commander." Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xing firmly and said decisively.
Even though the manufacturing productivity of human civilization has entered a highly developed stage, building the Panshi mothership requires a long construction period. The longer the time, the more variables there are. Just like this incident, Zhou Yu has no patience to wait any longer.
"The Ark Mothership will implement the fire preservation project and go to outer galaxies to carry out interstellar colonization. Even so, do you still want to be the commander of the Ark Mothership?" Zhou Xing's face darkened and he looked at Zhou Yu and asked.
"Really? Going to explore outer galaxies is exactly what I want. Otherwise, there would be no point in becoming a commander in the solar system!" Zhou Yu said with his eyes brightened.
"Xiaoyu, you...don't you want grandma?" After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Ye Huilan's expression changed and she said sadly.
Tang Xin had a sullen face and a gloomy expression, while Zhou Wenhai had a sullen face and frowned.
Zhou Yu's eyes passed over the faces of his family members one by one, and the expression on his face suddenly became complicated.
In order to realize your dream, you need to stay away from your family and cannot see each other for a long time; for your family, you need to give up your dream, and it is difficult to have both ambition and filial piety. This is the situation described!
Zhou Yu lowered his head with a sad expression.
After a while, Zhou Yu seemed to have thought clearly. He stood up and said goodbye to everyone, saying, "Mom, Dad, grandparents, I'm full. I'm going back to my room first."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to respond, Zhou Yu turned around and walked towards the second floor, with a desolate look from his back.
"Are we too selfish?" Tang Xin said sadly as she watched Zhou Yu leave.
"No! Do you want Xiaoyu to leave you?" Ye Huilan looked anxious and waved her hands repeatedly.
Hearing this, Tang Xin was silent for a while. Of course she didn't want to let Xiaoyu leave her side, but by restricting him like this, would Xiaoyu be able to live happily in the future
Everyone felt heavy, no one spoke, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was deathly silent.
"Perhaps, Xiaoyu should be allowed to be the commander." Zhou Xing suddenly broke the deadlock and said.
"Xiao Xing, you are crazy! That's your son. You want to send Xiao Yu to an alien galaxy. Will he be able to come back?" As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, Ye Huilan immediately scolded him loudly.
Tang Xin's eyes widened and she scolded: "What are you talking about!"
Zhou Xing smiled bitterly and quickly explained: "There is a reason why I am so eager to start the Ark Project. After the discovery of the Dark Zerg and two other alien civilizations, the solar system is now highly dangerous. Ten, twenty years , human civilization will face an extremely dangerous situation in the near future. If it cannot be overcome, mankind on earth may come to an end. However, the humans of the Ark will be the continuation of human civilization. If Xiaoyu becomes the commander, then he can continue to survive. ."
"Xiao Xing, are you right to lie to us? How could such a situation happen?" Ye Huilan's expression changed and she looked at Zhou Xing and asked.
Tang Xin frowned, looked at Zhou Xing in disbelief, and said, "Aren't we fine now? Are you too worried?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xing smiled bitterly, not knowing how to explain to them.
Since being possessed by the great scientist, Zhou Xing has never given up thinking about the origin of the great scientist's auxiliary system. The mission of its press release is very unique. It has been guiding him to advance into the field of science and technology, and indirectly affects the entire human civilization through him, rapidly Enter the interstellar era.
What is its purpose in doing this
According to the data deduced by Zhou Xiaozhi, the greatest possibility of the big scientist's auxiliary system is that humans will launch dimensional weapons in the future, with the purpose of assisting human civilization in developing science and technology and resisting the invasion of upcoming alien civilizations.
Projecting something into the "past" is theoretically possible.
In the multi-dimensional universe, time is an existence that can be "crossed", and there is more than one way.
Method 1: Open a large wormhole. Time tunnel is also a space-time wormhole. Small holes or cracks will appear in everything in the universe. This basic law also applies to time. Time also has tiny cracks and gaps, which are smaller than molecules and atoms. The gap is called "quantum foam", and the time wormhole exists in the "quantum foam". Using time wormhole technology, you can return to the past or go to the future.
Method 2: Time is like a river, with different flow rates in different areas. Using the "force field" effect to change the flow rate of time, you can create a time machine, like the "super large black hole" in the universe. A natural time machine, a spacecraft enters a super black hole and completes a 16-minute orbit around it. For astronauts, only 8 minutes have passed. If they perform a five-year mission inside a super black hole, When you return to Earth, you will find that 10 years have passed.
Method 3: Flying at a speed close to the speed of light. If a spacecraft can be built with a speed close to the speed of light, then the spacecraft will inevitably slow down the time in the cabin because it cannot violate the law of the fastest speed of light. Astronauts fly in this way. This week, 100 years of time on earth may have passed, thus achieving time travel.
Method four:…
Zhou Xing frowned, and as his thinking deepened, he couldn't help but fall into a state of deep thought.
"Xiao Xing, you answered me! What are you thinking about?" Ye Huilan woke up Zhou Xing angrily.
"Mom, the existence of alien civilization has been confirmed. Moreover, humans were invaded by the Dark Zerg more than ten years ago. It is possible for them to come back. Therefore, the Ark Mothership is the hope for the continuation of human civilization to a certain extent. ." Zhou Xing came back to his senses, looked at Ye Huilan, and replied.
Ye Huilan still didn't want to believe it, shook her head repeatedly, and retorted: "No, even so... isn't there any danger on the Ark!"
"Yes, the universe is so big and the space environment is so harsh. Once something happens, it will be very dangerous!" Tang Xin looked at Zhou Xing and said in support.
"No, on the contrary, the interstellar mothership is built for the cosmic environment. The universe is vast and boundless. Many dangers can be detected in advance due to the long distance, and have enough time to avoid them, unless they encounter a powerful enemy, or Some extremely violent sudden phenomena, otherwise, with the superior maneuverability of the interstellar carrier, survival in the space environment will be much safer than survival on the planet." Zhou Xing shook his head and retorted.
Hearing this, Tang Xin was speechless. Zhou Xing was an expert in this personal field, and whatever he said was what he said.
"Xiao Xing, is the situation really that bad? So suddenly..." Zhou Wenhai looked at Zhou Xing, unable to accept his statement for a moment.
The Great Scientist Auxiliary System is an unexplainable secret. Once the "Great Discovery of the Universe" system mission fails, 50% of the global population will be "eradicated" by the system. This is a price Zhou Xing is unwilling and unable to bear.
For several years, the Clairvoyance spacecraft was observing the universe, looking for a needle in a haystack, and could not find a direction to complete its mission. The only valuable information was the interstellar war that broke out between two alien civilizations.
The "Wangwang" project implements re-detection of these two alien battles, and has a high probability of completing the system's mission. However, if it detects each other again, the chance of being discovered by two alien civilizations is very high, even if multiple " If we use the method of "broiler" (space tunnel machine) chain network for detection, there is still a crisis of "doomsday" for mankind.
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Xing decided to give it a try rather than "surrender".
Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Wenhai and replied: "Dad, you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Various research indications show that the current situation of human civilization is really dangerous. Once the crisis breaks out, it will be too late to do anything." . ”
After a pause, Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Wenhai with a heavy expression and said, "There is a sign that we have been discovered by an alien civilization."
"Xiao Xing, don't scare mom! Is this true?" Ye Huilan was taken aback and asked in disbelief.
"Yes! Xing, what is going on?" Tang Xin panicked and asked Zhou Xing in confusion.
Zhou Wenhai's face darkened, he looked at Zhou Xing in confusion and asked, "What's the sign? Can you explain it more clearly?"
Zhou Xing nodded, turned to look at Zhou Xiaozhi who was waiting at the dining table, and said: "Xiaozhi, please introduce the situation to everyone!"
"Old, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded.
Immediately, Zhou Xiaozhi's pair of electrons lit up, projecting a holographic light screen into the sky above the dining table.
I saw a picture of the movement of stars in space appearing on the holographic screen, as well as a giant equipment floating quietly in space - the tunnel astronomical telescope, silent and deathly silent.
"Grandma Ye, Grandpa Zhou, Mother Tang, this is a tunnel astronomical telescope. It uses the huge energy of controllable fusion to supply the tunnel machine. It uses huge energy to turn on the particle force field, inject multiple particle beams, and blast out the atomic layer with powerful impact." "Extremely small wormhole," forcibly pouring energy into the force field, expanding the diameter of the "extremely small wormhole," and taking advantage of the moment when the wormhole is closed to perform astronomical photography." Zhou Xiaozhi introduced it to the Zhou couple and Tang Xin in detail.
"Yeah! It's very spectacular!" Tang Xin stared blankly at the holographic screen and nodded.
"Xiao Zhi, what did this tunnel telescope detect?" Zhou Wenhai nodded to Zhou Xiaozhi and asked nervously.
"Grandpa Zhou, didn't we use the tunnel telescope to observe the fierce interstellar battle in the alien star field before?" Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Wenhai and said.
Hearing this, Zhou Wenhai was stunned for a moment, nodded curiously and said, "Well, the photos and videos are very clear. Does this have anything to do with it?"
Zhou Xiaozhi nodded vigorously and replied: "Yes, now our 'wormhole' observing in that direction is blocked from opening, while the wormholes in other star field directions can be opened normally, so we suspect that the 'space tunnel machine' should be 'Shielded' by the power of alien civilization."
Hearing this, Zhou Wenhai's expression changed and he lost his voice: "What should we do?"
"Grandpa Zhou, they are 27,000 light years away from us! We still have a long time to prepare." Zhou Xiaozhi answered Zhou Wenhai.
"Isn't this very passive? They know us, but we don't know them. Isn't this very passive?" Zhou Wenhai said with a dark face and a heavy heart.
"Yes, but several newly built space tunnel machines have not been 'shielded' yet. Next, we will start the 'View' plan." Zhou Xiaozhi responded.
Hearing this, Zhou Wenhai nodded silently, understanding Zhou Xing's "good intentions."
